Description[]
"Come, let's talk about everything. You've been here many times, but ..."
This is the third song in The Story of the Kitsune and the Demon."
"A Story about Spirits"
Origins[]
The song was released on both Masa's Niconico Douga account and YouTube channel on December 13th, 2011, garnering over 120,000 views on NND and 900,00+ views on YouTube.
The song was later privated and presumably deleted at an unknown date by Masa from all platforms. The reason why is because of his embarrassment and shame when seeing his old work, not wanting fans to interact with the song.
Plot[]
Not much context is given here, but it appears to show Mai's descent into complete madness due to Akari's curse, eating more and more people from Castle Town and possibly others.
Shikyou also appears in this song, and it seems she's extremely furious, screaming at the top of her lungs.

Curiosities[]
- The song is well known for its notoriously long English title.
- When passing through a torii gate, it is customary to walk to the side instead of straight down the center. It is believed that the center space is reserved only for the kami (gods) to pass through. Mai violates this in the PV.
