Yin Zhu didn't have high expectations for Shuten-dōji, a great demon known for devouring the flesh and blood of women and children.
After all, Hirano San is a fan of the original work.
The Japanese supernatural stories she loved to read were all uncensored versions, full of gore and violence, far removed from the ghost stories and children's games that emerged after the rise of modern anime culture.
The instance she oversaw was equally fraught with danger.
The Tengu Butler suddenly reached out, pinched Yin Zhu's head, and ruffled her hair: "Little girl, don't think about such complicated things all the time. Just be a good child for now. After all, you never know whether the future or an accident will come sooner."
Yin Zhu nodded thoughtfully, feeling that the action was somewhat familiar.
It's 6 PM.
The clock in the room started chiming precisely on time. Although the sound wasn't deafening enough to cause a ripple in the entire Ooeyama Royal Palace, it sent a jolt through Yin Zhu's soul, as if her boss was sending her a message.
It seems it's time for dinner.
Yin Zhu walked out of the room expressionlessly. Her stiff walking made the Tengu Butler behind her touch his face in confusion.
Did I say something serious?
Looking at the cherry cake in his hand, he smiled, picked up a piece, and put it in his mouth: "Mmm, this is still the best."

Today, Yin Zhu looked like she was about to die for her cause while eating, especially when she thought about what the kitchen looked like... Oh well, she'll just eat whatever's convenient. It's not her body anyway, so as long as it doesn't kill her, it's fine.
However, after finishing her meal, Yin Zhu didn't stay at the restaurant entrance to watch the toilet-grabbing frenzy; instead, she went straight back to her dorm.
Tonight is going to be a major problem.
Soon, it was past ten o'clock again, and an uninvited guest arrived at the dormitory door. This time, however, the palace steward went straight to Yin Zhu's bedside and said, "Your work today is unsatisfactory."
He flicked his tail and suddenly reached out, preparing to crush Yin Zhu to death and throw him into the sack.
However, he met Yin Zhu's golden eyes:
"Wait a minute, which one is unqualified? Explain yourself. I've done all the work I could, there can't be any unqualified ones."
As if guided by some strange force, the palace steward honestly replied:
“When you were cleaning the Imperial Palace this morning, you only cleaned the lower part of the room and didn’t clean the roof beams.”
After answering, the palace steward suddenly felt the unknown force that had been preventing him from punishing Yin Zhu disappear. Although he didn't know what was on this little girl, his task was simply to punish all the ghost servants who failed in their duties.
That's all.
