In the midst of the cherry blossom season, the tengu, yoshitsui, asks his father why the demon hasn't come and played with him. He's afraid that if he answers him, the demon will take him away with him, and he's worried that he won't be able to enjoy himself. . The tengu tells him that the demon is a member of the ninjutsu, which is a form of martial arts that involves fighting with swords. The demon is shanaous, the son of yoshito, the leader of the Minamoto clan, and his father is a priest, which means that he'll have to become a priest in order to keep his position. He tells his father that he doesn't know what else to do, and that his mother has told him that he should become a "fine priest," which means he should be a good person. He says that he can't do anything for his mother, because she's told him to become one. The monk, benkei, comes in and says that the monks from the temple have been looking for him. Benkei is a monk who's been traveling around the country gathering swords. He wants to fight with ushiwaka, but he'd better get his sword ready because he has heard about the sword of Bisha monten, another of the Tengu's favorite swords. Aww, that's kind of a bummer. ) . But hey, the stars seem to have woken up tonight, and there's going to be a lot of fighting going on in the coming days.
