Son Biten is a sarugami who lives on the Youkai Mountain. She originally approached Yachie under orders from a certain human oni, but she’s now a fully-fledged member of the Kiketsu Family. It seems that she’s friends with Sanae Kochiya, who lives in a shrine that’s also on the Youkai Mountain. Today, Biten was cosplaying as Sanae and having fun playing a board game.
“Hey! I was planning on moving my piece there!”

Enoko Mitsugashira is a yamainu who lives in the Forest of Magic. She used to stick close to Saki, the leader of the Keiga Family, as per her orders from a certain human oni, but now, she looks up to her and is her proud muscle training partner. Today, she was cosplaying as Marisa Kirisame, who it seems she’s known for a very long time. She was so determined to perfect her outfit that she went through the trouble of turning her beloved jewel into a mini hakkero.
Oops. It looks like she might’ve played her cards at the wrong time. It seems she’s not particularly good at games that involve a lot of thinking.

Chiyari Tenkajin is a tenkajin who lives in the Former Hell of Blood Pools. Just like Biten and Enoko, she’d received orders from a certain human oni, but she secretly had no intention of following them. It wasn’t long before she swore to her friend Yuuma that she’d always remain by her side. Her cosplay outfit was designed to look like Sakuya Izayoi’s maid outfit. According to her, the reason she chose Sakuya to cosplay is because she’s friends with Tupai, who also lives in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. As she skillfully progressed her pieces, it became clear that she had a knack for board games.

“Right, so when I play this card… it means you two can’t move for a full turn.”
“No way! I’m gonna negate your card by using up some of my points.”
“I-I think all I can do is pass my turn.”
They were playing an old board game that Enoko had stumbled upon in the Forest of Magic. Every now and then, they’d get together for a game. Today, they were playing at Kourindou. The game’s box contained a gridded board, colorful pieces, and cards with numbers and symbols on them. Sadly, however, there was no instruction booklet, so no one knew how to play the game, much less how to win. But it’s OK. It seems they’ve all collaborated to invent their own rules.

Each of the three girls was a member of a different clan, and should rightfully be very cautious of one another. But that doesn’t appear to be the case. In fact, as they played their board game, chatted, and stuffed their faces with the sweets they’d all brought along, they looked like the best of friends. In truth, they considered each other neighbors, friends, and rivals.
“Finally, it’s my turn! I’m gonna use this card to steal that space from Chiyari.”
“Aw, that’s too bad… for you! I use double points to shift your card’s effect to Biten.”
“Chiyari! I thought I asked you to take it easy on me!”
And so, on they bickered in such a way as only good friends can. It seemed today’s winner wouldn’t be decided for some time…
