"These creatures, they seem to be coming for you?"
After the group of white-furred beast children appeared in the mountain forest, Kamiyagawa glanced at Hannya.
He guessed that the reason the masked creature was so severely injured probably had something to do with these children who had grown beast fur.
"Heehee…"
The laughter of Hannya became somewhat tremulous as she also struggled to stand up.
"I think you have no choice," Kamiyagawa gripped his firewood-cutting knife, "become my Shikigami, or be killed by them."
Having said that, he began reciting the Spirit-binding Spell.
Faintly glowing golden characters emerged rapidly from around him, forming a Word Curse Golden Rope, and once again flew towards where Hannya was.
The Word Curse once again bound the masked creature in a poor posture.
Afterward, Kamiyagawa stopped looking at Hannya and focused all his attention on the white-furred beast children in the mountain forest.
"Woo woof—woo woof—"
