Ibuki-Douji

Phew!

That was really, really tough, but hey, we beat them all!

Nice work, everyone. You too, Habbycat!

Habetrot

Th-thanks! I sure do feel worked!

(She's not a fairy...is she?)

(She looks like she's the incarnation of an Elemental and a Phantasmal... Wait. Doesn't that mean she's a god?)

Ah well, who cares? She's nice AND she's pretty! What else do I need to know? All right, later, guys!

Mash

Thank you so much, Habetrot!

Ibuki-Douji

It's, uh, great that we beat them and all, but...

I still have no idea what those things even were.

Or, for that matter, why we even fought them?

Mash

...

I recognize the aura they had, Senpai...

Your choice

Yeah. They probably work for Koyanskaya.

Yeah. They might be Koyanskaya's underlings.

Mash

?!

...Right.

We've seen her controlling creatures native to one Lostbelt in other Lostbelts before...

...and those three giants, along with the Yagas we fought before, had a strikingly similar hostile air to them.

Ibuki-Douji

And this place is that Koyanskaya lady's territory, right? So that would mean

F:???

They're Lostkin.

That is to say, her kin.

They're automatons of a sort. They've been deployed all over the place here, and then set to attack anything that seems remotely hostile.

So please, don't worry.

They're not connected to their leader, so they can't alert her to your presence.

That said, your luck was pretty rotten, running into those giants. They're one of the stronger varieties of Lostkin.

Still, I'm impressed you turned things around...

...and beat all three of them.

Truly, that was an incredible display of strength.

Mash

...!

Fou

Fou!

Ibuki-Douji

Wow. I can't believe it.

I should have sensed you the moment you entered my detection range, but you got all the way up here without me noticing.

Mash

Master, get behind me!

Your choice

It's okay, Mash.

F:???

Oh?

Your choice

I think if he'd wanted to attack us, he would've already.

F:???

I see. Very logical of you.

?!

Ibuki-Douji

Who are you?

F:???

Me? Hmm...

Well, I can assure you I'm not your enemy.

So please do feel free to relax your guard.

Mash

... ...

F:???

If anything, I'm the opposite of your enemy! I'm a professional, here to hunt a Beast!

I may have materialized as a Rider, but I assure you, I am a man of many talents.

So, on that note...

I would be most grateful if you would entrust me...

...with the disposal of this shadow of Daji...

Mash

Daji...?

F:???

I know a great deal about her, you see. And I've also done some additional investigating on my own.

Ibuki-Douji

Yay! We have another fighter now!

Oh, wait. IS this something to celebrate, Master?

Your choice

I...think so?

F:???

Oh my, are you still suspicious of me? Perhaps you were deceived by another handsome man recently?

Hmm. Hmm.

So that's your answer, huh...

And here I thought I was something of a skilled negotiator... Well that's strange.

H:Woman's Voice

Duh. I could've told you this would happen.

You're always so obtuse. That's why I told you to let me talk to them.

Fou

Fou! Fooou!

F:???

Whoa there.

...It's okay, Nikitich. You can come out. I think they've already figured out what's going on, anyway.

Woman's Voice

Obviously. That's why I spoke up.

???

...Hmph.

I told you we didn't have to hide. We should've just jumped in and helped them fight the giants.

Nice to meet you, everyone. I'm Nikitich.

Nikitich

Dobrynya Nikitich, the heroic dragon slayer of Kiev.

I'm really strong.

Ibuki-Douji

Wow. If you're saying so, it must be true!

Nikitich

Yup. I sure am.

Nikitich

Hehe.

???

What kind of conversation is that...?

Nikitich

As for this creep

F:???

Oh, please, allow me.

Wait. Me, a creep? Uncalled for.

Oh well, never mind. I'll just keep this short.

I have come here from the sage world...

...

That is to say, I have materialized here from the Throne of Heroes, of course.

In my life, I was something of a tactician, though I also dabbled in Taoism.

My True Name is Taigong Wang. Pleased to make your acquaintance.
