  1. "Cockroach, louse, bee..." The novitiate blinked at the form, "..ant? I have to #rank them?"

    The elder mystic nodded. "According to preference."

    "Preference of what?" Ugh. "I thought we didn't eat—"

    "Ahem. In case of accidents," he clarified. "So we know where to seek your reincarnated Being."

  3. "Surely," he said, and removed the top easily.
    He looked up and found her making an entry in a small notebook.
    "And with that," she said, making a quick tally, "Your #rank is number 1. That shitty Saintess is dead last."
    "Mother!" the Hero called, exasperated, from the dining room. (6/6) #wss366

    “From the fourth floor,” the shaman said, “you’ll need to climb to the top of the fortress. Find your way into the walls as soon as you can. The princess of Himeji Castle is known as the Lady of the Walls for a reason: she is to be found there, not in the open. She’ll try to drive you off with #rank odors of the grave, corpse orbs, and fearful specters. Ignore them all. Know your sutras and repeat them; then fear of death will have no hold on you.”

    Sumika shifted uncomfortably under me. I would need to teach her some basic mantras.

    “If a young woman in a jūnihitoe kimono approaches you, make your request, but if a crone accosts you, show her this.” The shaman withdrew a bow-shaped catalpa wood talisman from her robes. “Tell her, ‘As you have failed to protect what your mistress Seirei-tsukai holds dear, she commands you to help us.’”

    Mistress’s hand shook as she took the charm. “What if she refuses?”

    “She won’t, but if she does, you are undone. You have yet to reach your full power and still lack the skill to bind her. One last warning: Lady Osakabe is cunning. She will find your desires and use them. Deal with her honorably, but don’t agree to anything unless you understand exactly what it is.”
