Episode 19 – Episode 162 – Three White Stars
…The time when the Onikishitai’s strengthening training called “Hashira-geiko” started. Shinobu told her stepson, Kanawo Kurikana-ochu, a story. It was about how to kill the demon who killed his beloved sister, Kanae Butterfly.
“If I meet the demon and Kanawo and I (Shinobu) are able to fight it, the first condition is that I must be eaten by the demon and die.
Currently, my body has a high concentration of wisteria poison in my blood, internal organs, and even my fingernails. The amount of poison I can strike with my sword is at most fifty millimeters. If the demon were to eat me now, the amount of poison it would eat would be equivalent to my entire body weight of 37 kilograms. This is about 700 times the lethal dose. Even if the poison starts to take effect, it is still the demon’s neck that is certain.” The words he then spoke were these words of wisdom.
It fully conveyed Shinobu’s conviction and strength to risk her life in order to avenge her father’s death.
Go fuck yourself, you son of a bitch.

“You finally died? Thank goodness, now I too can become a Buddha in peace. If I could have, I would have buried you with the poison I made, but I’m satisfied. Hurray for the result.
There are still the demon ancestors left, but I’m sure they’ll be fine now. One of my companions will make it through, I’m sure of it.” The Douma apparently fell in love with Shinobu as she said this with a reassuring smile. “Would you like to go to hell with me?
