"Let go of me, you pervert!! You are just looking for a chance to do weird stuff like this", screamed Komorebi, pushing Junichi away from her. "Pfft… yeah, whatever, maybe I'll have sex with the Witch of the Red Forest then, I'm pretty sure she would be happy to do it with me", said Junichi, giving a smug smile.
"Yeah, do it with her, I'm off limits", replied Komorebi while trying to look away from Junichi. Junichi then gathered his belongings as well as Komorebi's bag and shoved it at Komorebi; "Carry your own load until you decide to do your duties!" After the interesting discussion, they set out for the Realm of Sound.
By sundown, both of them arrived at the edge of the forest and looked ahead. There were some red cherry blossom trees up ahead, bordered by a small stream of water that glimmered in the light of the setting sun. As Junichi and Komorebi set foot across the stream, they noticed a rustling in the nearby bushes. Within the fraction of a minute, something jolted out of the bushes and struck Komorebi.
As Junichi looked back, he saw a woman with long red hair grabbing Komorebi by her throat. The woman wore a black, tight-fitting cloth covering only her feminine parts, which hugged her body tightly. Over the tight clothing, there was an almost-transparent red cloth that was dragging behind her on the ground.
While Junichi was mesmerised by the view, he quickly shook off his inhibitions and screamed towards the woman, "Hey! Who the fuck are you, and let go of my wife!" Hearing Junichi's threat, the woman turned towards him. Her eyes were bright pink like cherry blossoms basking in the morning sun, and her face was shaped like a beautiful sculpture made with keen precision. Without a minute to waste, the woman called out, "Did you just call this bitch your wife?" The woman's eyes turned bright red almost immediately, and a red aura gathered around her.
"Yes, she is my wife, you fucker, and if you don't let her go right now, things are only going to be worse for you!", threatened Junichi while lifting his arms, preparing to launch an attack. The woman just started laughing loudly, hearing Junichi's threat, and instead tightened her grip on Komorebi's throat, who was almost passed out at this point.
Without wasting a minute, Junichi closed his eyes and tried to cast the Yari spell. However, he began to feel uneasy, and even though he was trying to focus on using the Yari spell, his thoughts kept returning to the time the mysterious woman in the cave stabbed him. A red aura started gathering around him, and he felt his feet growing heavier than usual. His legs dug into the ground, and almost a thousand knives started appearing around him.
The woman who was grabbing Komorebi's throat suddenly let go and started acting frantically. "Hey, who are you? And how are you casting the Sen-Zashi spell?" asked the woman, almost collapsing to the ground with fear. "I am the Dungeon Dueller, and this is the end for you bitch. It's sad to see such a beautiful face and a lovely body to be wasted, but nobody… Absolutely nobody! Hurts my wife!" replied Junichi with his eyes filled with anger and bloodlust.
The woman, after hearing his words, rushed towards Junichi and grabbed his feet in a pleading manner. "Please spare my life, master. I did not recognize it was you. I should have stopped when you said that witch was your wife. Please spare me!" Junichi felt her bosom against his legs, the warmth of her skin, and the pleading tone of her voice finally overcame Junichi's anger, as he gradually lowered his hands.
Junichi then grabbed the woman by her shoulders and dragged her up. Looking straight into the woman's shaking and teary eyes, Junichi asked, "Reveal your identity now before it's too late for you." The woman shakily replied, "I'm Yuuhi, also known as the Witch of the Red Forest. This is my territory, the Realm of Sound."
Hearing this, Junichi let go of Yuuhi's shoulders and adjusted himself. He then asked Yuuhi, "So what exactly is your beef with Komorebi?" Meanwhile, Komorebi regained her senses and was listening in on the conversation. As she heard Junichi's question, she was sneakily trying to crawl away, but Junichi caught her legs.
