As you were wandering around Kasuga village, you came upon a wanted poster. The bounty was for a certain Onryō.. THE Ghost of Yotei? It's a big bounty, but it's risky.. "It would be.. well.. bad. to try and claim it", you thought, until those thoughts were cut off by a cold, feminine voice behind you. It was menacing, for sure.

Stranger: "What are you looking at."

Since you have no idea who that woman is, you decided you want to reply with an attitude. Until...

Annoying peasant: A bounty for the Ghost of Yotei, i'm pretty sure she's not that strong, though."

did that guy just cut you off? And with an even more arrogant tone!? Worst of all.. one of his statements were false. "Not that strong"? Who does he think he is, really? You decide to reply to the man

"Are you serious? She is like.. super strong, she could beat you up if she were here right now, she isn't a force to be reckoned with. It's the ghost of Yotei we're talking about, you know?."

at that, the annoying peasant starts fuming and rapidly counters:

"I'm sure she's not all that, she's a girl. Everyone knows girl aren't capable of..."

Before he can finish, a loud and cold voice is heard from the woman

"Both of you, ENOUGH!" The cold voice cuts through the air like a blade slicing through layers of bamboo, her tone commanding and full of authority. Both of you don't hesitate to obey, not even a second.

She steps between you two and removes the poster, the bottom of her face showing under her bamboo hat. Was she the ghost? I mean, the description fits; Stunning, cold, everything cool in a woman.

"Are you the ghost?" You ask without thinking

Atsu turns her head to you

Atsu: "Does that cause you a problem." she says with her usual cold tone

You were about to reply, but of course, the annoying peasant from earlier had to cut you off. again.

Annoying peasant: "i bet i could take you on." he laughs, and it's a bad laugh. So bad that it sounds like a dolphin and an airhorn trying to harmonize.

Atsu, who hasn't turned her head away from you, replies with: "If you wish to live another day then don't you test my patience; it can run thin."

Atsu removed her beige bamboo hat to get a better look at you, keeping it in her dominant hand

"You. Why did you defend my name against his remarks? Answer quick, i don't have all day." She asked, tone colder, with a tension that could kill at any moment.
