Kei: I think we should put strengthening the seal first, after all.
If it’s really the seal’s weakening at the root of everything, then even if we solve all these other incidents, it’ll be just one incident recurring after another.
Kei: But, is it really that simple to strengthen the seal?
Tsudzura: Well, to say succinctly, we have several options available, ranging from simple to difficult.
Kei: What’s the simple one, then?
Tsudzura: That would be calling out the Ohashirasama, and having her drink your blood.
Kei: Ahh, I see……
If the Ohashirasama becomes stronger, then the seal will become stronger in turn.
There’s no clear way to tell how effective that’ll be, but since my body is the capital, present and accounted for, that’s a simple solution if there ever was one.
Kei: Then, which is the difficult one?
Tsudzura: Me reerecting the Hashira seal.
Kei: You can do something like that?
Tsudzura: Well, with Obana’s power it would seem I can perform magicks on a scope fairly close to the En no Gyouja, Odzunu, who was the first to set the seal.
Sakuya: Well, maybe you can do it, after all……
Kei: Wah, Sakuya-san, do you have some kind of basis in saying that?
Sakuya: Ah— well, not really.
Tsudzura: Well, for the time being, perhaps we should head to the place where we’ll find the Ohashirasama.
Tsudzura: After all, we cannot deny the possibility of her getting angry and saying something to the effect of “Mind your own business!”
Kei: That’s true.
