Under the illumination of the moonlight, the small town, rarely lit by candles, wasn't completely engulfed in darkness. There was sufficient light for Kochou Shinobu to easily make out the full appearance of the person before her.
There she hovered in midair, wrapped in ribbons, her waist-length hair a pure white with greenish tips, and a flower hairpin tucked in her hair. Tattoos of pink flowers graced her left cheek and right forehead. Her attire was somewhat revealing; a woman of considerable beauty, though the paleness of her skin and the fine, crack-like lines that marred it lent her a rather menacing air.
The woman's gaze upon Kochou Shinobu was smiling, filled with both admiration and a vicious aggressiveness. The word "Upper Moon" was inscribed in her left eye, and the numeral "Six" in her right, prompting Kochou Shinobu to narrow her eyes.
"Upper Moon Six..."
Kochou Shinobu's hand involuntarily rested on the sword at her waist.
"That's right. I am Upper Moon Six, Daki."
