Melancholy of the God of War

Wahahaha! This salt belongs to us now!

Aah! Please, don't! Without that salt, our pasta will all clump together when we cook it!

Shaddup! Old farts like you can make do with mushy noodle clumps and tasteless sauce!

O-oh god, please, save us! I'll gladly tell you what I know about the buried treasure near here if you do!

Good day. I'm the avatar of Bishamonten, and I've heard your plea for help. Oh, and don't worry. I'm not the scary one you may have heard of before.

Oh, uh, good to know. Anyway, these thugs are trying to steal our village's salt. Please do something about them.

All right, let me just fire a couple of warning shots with my pagodas here...

Hm? What's that sou

...

...

...Um, Lady God of War? I think you vaporized the salt as well as the thieves.

M-maybe I did overdo it a little.

No, no, these aren't cannons. They're pagodas enshrining sutras that just happen to shoot stuff like divine punishment lasers and blasphemy beams.

I didn't think it would hurt for Bishamonten to start packing heat, but this might be a little too much.

？！

To tell you the truth, I'm still not entirely used to this form, so I sometimes fire more powerful shots than I mean to.

I know just what you mean.

Sometimes I can't help but fire some excessively awesome Majin Beams after I've gotten carried away at breakfast.

I don't think that's even close to the same thing.

Hmm. I often find myself ending lives when I only mean to give them a little warning tap.

Closer, but still not the kind of thing you should broadcast.

There you have it. That's why I asked you two to help me learn to control this new power better.

Leave it to me. I had a big breakfast this morning, so I'm full of Majin Power!

Landing a blow at full power on an avatar of the gods does sound like a good time.

Then let us begin! Bishamonten's protection is with us!

Excuse me, Lady God of War?

Huh? What is it? Things were just getting interesting.

Would you mind taking that somewhere else?

Oh. Right. Of course.
