Guiding Wind

"I understand that you don't want to tell how you fell from the sky but like you don't have to keep being quiet." The girl continues to remain quiet, not giving Yose a straight answer to his questions. She just continues to look at him, a hint of worry in her eyes. After a bit more walking, she finally speaks. "If I told you, you wouldn't believe me," she says softly, her voice tinged with sadness. "You would think I'm crazy or just lying." "Look," Yose says, now sounding slightly irritated, "You're already talking to someone who has seen a lot of things that would make anyone normal's blood run cold." Yose pauses for a moment, sizing up the girl. "You can't tell me it's any worse than mine," he continues, his voice now soft and sympathetic as he seems to genuinely care about what the girl has to say. "Just trust me," he says, "Tell me what happened to you." "You're hiding something and I'm determined to figure out what it is," he says sternly. The girl doesn't seem to be deterred by his words, still remaining quiet. As they continue to walk, she finally speaks again. "I was given a talisman," she says quietly, "it was from an old man. That talisman had the power to bring me here." She suddenly pauses and looks at Yose directly. "I can show it to you, if you want." "Though, not sure I was transported from sky." "Alright then, let's see that talisman of yours," Yose says, still sounding stern but more curious than before. The girl takes out a small pouch from her pocket, revealing the talisman she had mentioned a moment ago. Her expression is nervous and uncertain, as if she's afraid of what might happen next. Yose reaches out his hand, wanting to examine the talisman closely. An elderly couple with canes in their hands passes them as Yose inspects the talisman. She looks at Yose waiting for him to start speaking again and shortly after Yose raises a question, "Who gave you th-" his words are cut short after a loud noise occurs. They turn around to see that the elderly couple are nowhere to be seen, seemingly they dropped the canes which caused the loud noise to happen. "There's no time!" she says and immediately takes out a different talisman which appears to be the same one as Yose used while entering Naraka. Before Yose realizes what happens, she begins to speak while holding the talisman. "Gate: Open" Oh what the hell? Yose rushes after her to the gate going through it.

Yose sees that the elderly couple is about to be attacked by a massive cursed spirit that is about to attempt to bite the old man. Yuki rushes before Yose activating a different talisman which forms a pristine looking blade in her hand. Yuki throws the sword at the cursed spirit at it's head before that happens. The blade lands right at it's head and the spirit shrieks in pain. She lunges at the cursed spirit, climbing it's massive arm before it attacks and rushes to recover the blade from where it stabbed. She's a methodologist and an exorcist! Just like I am. She pulls out the blade and slashes the cursed spirit right from it's neck, completely exorcising it. She gets on the ground just to see at least fifteen more cursed spirits approaching her. She raises one hand near her chest forming a hand sign and begins to utter incantations. As the cursed spirits approach, Yuki continues to form a hand sign and begins to utter incantations. Yose begins to wonder what sort of skill or technique she's using. As the number of cursed spirits grows, Yose realizes that Yuki is in serious trouble. She is one person fighting against multiple cursed spirits after all. Yose rushes towards the cursed spirits, intent on helping her. 

"Flow of the Wind, Strike with Unerring Accuracy."

The incantation focuses on the aspect of precision and speed that seems to be key to Yuki's fighting style. It emphasizes the swiftness and accuracy involved in her sword technique, painting a picture of a skillful warrior. The incantation also suggests that she knows exactly what her target is and is determined to strike at it with absolute accuracy, as if her attack is guided by the wind itself. When Yuki finishes uttering the incantation, a stream of air rushes out from her hands, slicing effortlessly through the cursed spirits one by one. She's fast, she's incredibly fast. Yuki moves with lightning quick reflexes, seemingly faster than any curse spirit can react. Her blade effortlessly slices through the air, cutting through countless cursed spirits before they even have a chance to react. Yuki moves with such speed and precision that it seems as if the very wind itself is guiding her blade. The cursed spirits are no match for her sheer speed and accuracy. After she gets rid of each cursed spirit, Yose walks to her with admiration. "You really are something else." She turns to Yose with a surprised face and asks, "Why are you here?" "Why wouldn't I be here? Not like I would miss out on going to Naraka." He adds, "You should've told me that you were a methodologist sooner." She helps the old couple get up back to their feet. 

"Are you two fi-" With a tremendous thud, the ground splits in two near them, and a huge entity that's like a spider rises to the surface. After she made sure the old couple didn't get hurt, she handed Yose a talisman. The same one that would allow Yose to exit Naraka. "You're going to fight that thing on your own? Are you out of your mind?" "To be honest with you, this is my first time seeing a curse that is this big." She continues, "My family, for generations dealt with the curses, impurities and demons. I will be no exception, I cannot ruin their legacy. You can say that this is also my goal to keep the tradition going. So yes, I will face that thing by myself, please take care of those two." 

Yuki decides takes on the Spider Curse all by herself!?
