I come at the end of the long road.

WHO: Shura and YOU.
WHAT: A demon has found its way into Coba!
WHERE: Anywhere you like.
WHEN: Day 7?

This is quite a place Shura has found herself into. It looks like a normal, modern city at first glance, but if she stares long enough, she can see ruins and desolation everywhere. Is this an illusion? It was hard to tell. Both the modern city and the rubble looked equally real. She walks around the shopping district and stops every few steps, trying to find a clue as to what this place really is, why she is here, and whether she can find any drinkable water for her parched throat. As she travels, her stench lingers in the air long after she has left, a mix of dirt, gore, and sweat that makes it difficult for others to breathe. Maybe someone should tell her, as she seems oblivious.

"Oh my!" That's entirely too familiar a stench. It reminds her of the Red World with its violence and fear. But this doesn't necessarily mean this young woman's like the Red World's residents. So she tries to helpfully suggest, "Perhaps you could get a shower? I'm sure we can find one around here somewhere."

It's definitely the scent that catches the young Summoner off-guard. It's not unlike the tunnels of the Tento Lords, though less stale and more freshly raw in it's potency. She crinkles her eyes a bit, quietly displeased. It's the Pixie who pipes up first.

"It smells like a battlefield out here!"
"... Indeed."

It's not hard to find the source but Nagi is nowhere near so blunt to say as much to the woman herself. Now the High Pixie on the other hand... hopefully Shura has some forgiveness in her heart for the little demon in her blue kimono as she buzzes ahead in front of the woman.

"Where exactly have you been? You smell like you've been fighting for days!"

A cry of "Pixie!" comes from somewhere just behind the pair.

While normal people would start to scream about the stench, there was one who asked a very different question once she was in sight of the odd woman.

"Are you alright?"

Because there was no way someone can ignore that kind of thing unless it was important.
