The maiden's presence immediately drew applause. She could even spot a camera crew nearby, recording the whole thing.
>Ah, irasshaimase, Shogun Aina! We have been eagerly awaiting your arrival, along with Yuki-imouto's.>As you know, in the olden eras, monks would combat oni through physical feats of strength, wrestling included. What you see here is a replica of one of those rings that man and oni would duel in.>There is malice in my imouto's heart, one we must defeat in this very arena. Should we fail, we may risk falling to the same chaotic energies that possess my younger sister.>Take heart, Shogun Aina! I will not have you face this battle alone, but I cannot make the finishing blow. That is for you to make.The audience cheers. Chants of "Ai-Na!" begin to fill the area. All are ready for the match to begin, when the maiden is.
