Third person POV
So, all of them did their usual and normal stuff all day long in order to wait for nightfall to come after sundown. At that time, Mariya went out at night, pretending to go out at that hour. Hoshi, Bokuto, Saki, Sha, and Taro were hiding somewhere and were on high alert while Kioko was overseeing the operation. The night was peaceful, and the streets were more or less empty. But the regular streets and alleyways are what they preferred.
So, at 8:22 p.m., on a quiet street southwest of the city, Mariya was walking with her purse in hand. Then, Shuten Dōji saw her and started following her so it could abduct her. The stalking lasted for a block until, as Shuten Dōji was about to grab the young woman, Taro fired a shot toward its back. Shuten Dōji then got struck by it. Taro now realized that Sha's Negative Energy bullets could have an effect on other Yokai like Shuten Dōji. "Wow…"
As the Yokai was struggling against his wound, Mariya runs away, and Hoshi and the rest came out and pointed their various weapons at it.
"What the…?" Shuten Dōji looked at them while being unable to get up.
"Surrender now," Sha said to it.
"You're violating the law in this world," Hoshi, as Kuro, added.
Bokuto was pointing his kunai knife closer at the Yokai's next.
Seeing what was going on through the group's trackers, Kioko was stunned and astonished that Yokai and the realm of the supernatural does exist.
Back at the scene, Shuten Dōji didn't want to give up so it opened its mouth and emitted a bad odor of alcohol from it and towards them. Kuro and his group then got distracted by covering their noses because of how bad and rotten the smell was, allowing the Yokai to escape and get away with it. Once regained their focus, they saw that Shuten Dōji had gotten away with it, so they started to chase after it. Mariya then went with them as well, wanting to find out where the Yokai would go next. Kioko was a bit stunned to see that they were now going through the city. Where Shuten Dōji would go next? Will Kuro and his group catch it and punish it for its crimes in the overworld?
