Chapter 105.4
[Part 4/4]
Ignoring the nonsensical words that crossed my mind, I surveyed my surroundings with a sense of unease. It was a moonlit rice field, the roadside of a scattered village, a country road... I quickly turned around. It was already evident, but the door I had entered earlier no longer existed. There was no escape.
And I immediately sensed their presence. Strange beings emerged from the depths of the dark rice field on both sides. Their red eyes glowed ominously in the pitch-black darkness. Laughter resounded. Their sadistic taunts filled the air.
"The smartest thing in a tight situation is to beat a retreat!"
I immediately started running. Although there were many exits in this room, half of them were worthless. I had to jump into the salt storage house, sake cellar, or at least the donation box of a shrine.
"D*mn it, I missed it!"
With the indescribable beast-like cries as my BGM, I ran with all my might through the 'Tatari-bito no Ma (Space of the Vengeful Spirits)'...

"...Huh?"
As Tamaki regained consciousness, the first sensation she felt was the scent of tatami mats. Confused, the girl sat up on the tatami floor.
"Where am I?"
Tamaki had collapsed in the center of a Japanese-style room. It was a study with high-quality tatami mats covering an area of about eight tatami mats. There were cushions, a writing desk, and a necessary hearth emitting white smoke by the side.
On the walls, hanging scrolls were displayed, and exquisite folding screens were set up. The various furnishings had an elegant and refined assortment.
No matter how she looked at it, this was a study. Moreover, it seemed to belong to someone of a certain high status.
She remained dumbfounded for a while, staring in disbelief. And then... she immediately remembered the misfortune that had befallen her. At the same time, she understood what this room was.
"Oh no...!? I need to escape quickly...!!"
Panicked, Tamaki opened the sliding doors of the room and stepped out into the corridor. The corridor branched out to the left and right, resembling a labyrinth. In fact, it was a maze designed to confuse and entangle its prey.
"...!!?"
Her face paled, and Tamaki abruptly stopped in her tracks, as if sensing something ominous. In that moment, right before her eyes, a sword swung down.
"Ah!?"
A small scream escaped her lips. Her gaze turned to the suit of armor adorned with hanging scrolls and bonsai trees that decorated the long corridor.
'Ughhh...'
Finally, Tamaki realized. What emerged from the gaps in the helmet was not armor but a skeleton adorned with armor.
"Haahhhhh!!"
A shout echoed from the depths of the corridor. Immediately after, Tamaki witnessed the head of the skeletal figure being crushed. Its head shattered, and its body, still in mid-air, crashed to the floor. Desiccated flesh and bones scattered around, leaving Tamaki dumbfounded.
In the next moment, her field of vision was filled with a young girl dressed in attire resembling a Buddhist monk. She held a naginata and had a dignified presence. A comrade.
'Hyuooohhhhh!'
"Chii!"
The Nurikabe roared in response to the intruder's entrance. The young girl unleashed her spiritually infused naginata, thrusting it into the Nurikabe. Yes, they got it. Tamaki was convinced. But...
"It's still shallow, huh?"
"What!? Unscathed!?"
Tamaki was shocked by the reality before her. The youkai power emanating from the Nurikabe was at most that of a medium-rank youkai, and considering the amount of spiritual energy infused in the naginata, it should have pierced through its skull. However, the reality was that the Nurikabe suffered only a minor injury... and Tamaki despaired at that fact.
"That's about right!"
'Hyuoooh!'
However, it seemed that the girl, accustomed to fighting, was not shaken by such events. She immediately struck the Nurikabe's eye with her spiritually infused fist, crushing it. The Nurikabe staggered in shock and then writhed in pain.
...And an opportunity presented itself.
"Go away!!"
Seizing the opening in the Nurikabe's defenses, the girl swung her naginata. She struck its neck and side. This time, it had an effect. Organs spilled out as its head fell, followed by the body slumping to the floor. The formidable outer shell of the Nurikabe, surpassing that of a great youkai, unfortunately existed only on its face.
"Hmph, repulsive!"
The girl brushed away the blood clinging to her naginata. Sniffing, she turned around and stood tall before Tamaki. It was then that Tamaki noticed it. The pair of beast ears growing from her head. Distinctive lion ears peeked out from her lush, light-yellow hair.
"I am Shishimai Asami, a retainer (househould member) of the Igarashi family, the exorcist of the Northern Region. You can call me Shishimai. ...It seems we share a similar circumstances. Can you tell me which family you belong to?"
In a somewhat haughty tone, Shishimai introduced herself and demanded an answer from Tamaki...
