There's the sound of burning throughout this scene.

Surround the temple! Don't let a single youkai escape!

That cursed nun, how dare she fool us into thinking she's a saint! She pretended like she was helping people, but she was on the youkai's side all along!

...

Lord Bishamonten, are you there?

What's the situation?

We've cornered the nun and her youkai followers in the main temple building. However, there's a youkai going on a rampage with a giant anchor, so we can't get any closer.

Murasa...

Oh, you know of her? You're quite well informed about youkai, Lord Bishamonten.

Who could believe someone who acted so righteous could turn out to be such a monster?

...

Take a look at this glorious blaze. The people of the village are helping too.

We'll purge the temple in fire and be rid of these devils once and for all.

Wha-!? That isn't what I told you! I told you to capture them! Taking a life is a sin, even if it's a youkai.

So you say, but does that really apply to humans who've been twisted into youkai?

We just can't trust that nun. Even if she surrenders quietly, who knows what she's planning?

...

I...

Hm?

I'll go myself, to exorcise them personally.

Ooh, direct intervention from the great Lord Bishamon! We could hardly ask for more!

Let the she-devil wearing the face of a human know the shining light of justice!

...

(Justice...)

(This is... justice? How could that be?)

What's wrong, master?

My apologies, I was just remembering something.

Pull yourself together, I want to get back before nightfall.

If this winter goes on much longer, even we'll start to look like food to the hungry baby rats back home. We have to find more supplies somehow.

You're right, Nazrin. Let me know if you find anything. I'll dig through the snow with my hoe, and... Ah.

Something wrong?

Well, uh... I left the hoe back at the temple.

Shou is the forgetful sort.

Yeesh, I knew I should've carried it myself.

I'm so sorry. If we need to, I'm sure I could use this spear to dig.

Eh, don't worry about it. You've been cooped up inside for so long that it's no surprise you'd get careless.

I'm so sorry.

I'm the one who should be apologizing. We're so short on hands that we needed the master to do manual labor for us. It seems like a fool's errand too, when it's this cold out.

Yes, it seems the winter isn't ending, just like you told me. It should be May by now.

So, how does this snowy landscape make you feel?

*sigh* I just can't believe how much snow there is.

Yeah, it is a lot of snow.

Okay, break's over, let's get back to work. That food won't find itself. Watch your step.

Yes, understood.
