The piece of wood was emitting a strange, captivating fragrance.
"This is Dream Incense Wood," the Medicine Seller began, "originally, it was a medicinal ingredient I collected during my travels."
"Can Dream Incense Wood help me deal with the Monkey Dream?"
"It can't," the Medicine Seller shook his head, answering decisively.
Kamiyagawa: ...
The Medicine Seller continued, "However, if you grind the Dream Incense Wood into powder and light it, it might attract a kind of friendly, special folkloric creature known as the Dream Devouring Tapir. Tapirs are adept at devouring dreams, a natural nemesis to most dream folk tales.
Even a lower-ranking Dream Devouring Tapir could deal with higher-ranking creatures of dreams. If everything goes well, a Rank F Tapir should be able to handle that Rank D Monkey Dream you mentioned."
Kamiyagawa: "What do you mean?"
The Medicine Seller: "Future Lord of Ghosts and Gods, you can contract Shikigami, can't you?"
