One pleasant autumn day, Otogi thought it would be nice to take a walk through the Chinju Forest, perhaps even these “pathetic youkai” (in his words) would dare to come out to challenge The Otogi Kongou Lion King himself!

Oni walked proudly, brandishing a redhorn stonethresher, his pride, which the shogunate took from him several times until he finally received an official license to carry the weapon.

Walking, he suddenly stopped in place, noticing the very familiar short silhouette of short Oni and grinned.

"Who do I see!" Otogi exclaimed, to which the silhouette stopped and turned in his direction.

"Isn't my old friend, Mikoshi Chiyo herself! How about one fight so that I can prove my superiority over you and your kind? Come on, come here if you’re not scared!”

She seemed to be out of sorts that particular day, which didn't bode well for him, but he still wasn't going to back down. With a quick step, the angry Chiyo approached Otogi, who put on a wide, self-confident smile, putting his sword on the ground.
