Nanakorobi yaoki! Fall seven times , stand up eight ! Loki says to his students . In Japan , the once exiled Norse god has become Master Roki … it seems difficult for the L of Loki to be pronounced . But Loki doesn’t mind . Here , as guardian of the yaksa temple secrets , he teaches the sons of the samurai caste the secrets of his magic . How to combat yokai … how to defend themselves and conduct themselves with both cunning and … the personal honor that defies traditional conformity . There is a slight clang at the bell hanging on the door . 「人を見たら泥棒と思え」Hito wo mi-tara, doroboh to omoé. When you meet a new guy, assume he's a thief. Loki waits for the code …… the secret answer in reply He is shocked and his serious expression almost collapses into a smile as he stifled a huff of laughter upon hearing the reply .

It was a woman’s voice .

「井の中の蛙、大海を知らず」”I no naka no kawazu, taikai wo shirazu.” Frogs live in a well never know about the big sea.

And she answered wrong but it was so clever and unexpected he wants to hear her out . An apothecary from the west has come seeking secrets of the east …. Is it so bad back home , Loki thinks ? That they burn the seeress as a witch and she must flee to practice her craft ? But Loki too sought refuge here .. after the ragnarok of old Asgard ….. he is curious about the woman and her frog joke ……. She could be a spy .. or …. Could she be …. No … she couldn’t know who he was , could she ?
