Empress

Who goes there?
I don't know you. I don't feel any malice coming off of you, so you must be a human being. Show yourself!
...
Alright, alright. Hey.
You don't look like one of the ninjas of my clan, nor do you look like a warrior seeking power. Can you lend me a hand? I'll give you some treasure.
The treasures I've found here are incredibly valuable, but the things I need done are far more valuable to me.
You look interested.
However, I don't expect a lot.
If you are going to give up, just go away!
I've already met plenty of people who offered to help, but they all gave up and went away.
Some of them were even ninjas and warriors.
Oh my, you look familiar.
I can't tell who's who since there are so many coming up to me.
Well, do you think you can do me a favor?
[Daka]
Sumi's younger sister who became a ninja to avenge her father. She got tricked by Puppeteer Rin and came to the Haunted Tatami Room with the other Iga Ninjas.

1.[Connection] Daka's Request
As an ordinary human, I'm not sure how much you can help me. But if you can, I'll make it worth your time.
Could you bring me one [Evil-Slaying Arrow]?
According to my intelligence, Iga Ninjas, Crimson Bodyguards, and the Hannya have them.

This is amazing.
Did they simply hand it over?
I don't know how you did it, but now I believe I can trust you with any task.
Alright, I formally request your help.
When you're ready, will you talk to me again?
Reward:
- Experience: 100,000
- Gold: 100,000
I was wrong...
Should I find the root of the problem?
2.Owl's Bloodshed I
Did you happen to see the Gate of Torment?
If you look around, you'll see a group of ghosts who were wrongfully slain on the battlefield. Among them, you'll find certain ghosts who seem to lead the others.
They're called [Iga Ninjas]...
Please defeat 5 of them.

In fact, I myself am an Iga Ninja.
The ones you killed were my comrades.
They came here because of Puppeteer Rin's trickery, and they went mad and became ghosts.
However, thanks to their efforts they can pass on to the hereafter. Thank you.
But our work has only just begun.
If you are ready, can you talk to me again?

3.[Connection] Owl's Bloodshed II
I have a bigger favor to ask you. I'll give you twice the reward of your last task. Do you think you can kill [Hattori Hanzo] in the deepest room behind the Gate of Torment?
He is my master and leader of the Iga Ninjas. However, if we leave him like this, he will become a puppet of Puppeteer Rin.
It would be better for him to die than to see such a fate. One who has lost his body and soul to such evil magic can never return to his former self.

You're not lying, are you?
Is it really true... that you defeated my master?
...
Master, you can now leave in peace. Your firm will and belief will be remembered forever.
You... Why are you staring at me like that?
I have much more work left for you, so when you're ready, just talk to me again.

4.Meaningless Power I
Shh, don't make a sound!
Rumors of the ghosts here have drawn warriors eager to prove their skill here.
What's the problem with that?
The problem is that the warriors who came here to kill ghosts at first have started to attack others and take their money.
What you should do is kill [Crimson Bodyguards]. They're powerful, but perhaps you could defeat 5 of them?

You've been through a lot.
However, it's not over yet.
There's someone worse than the Crimson Bodyguard.
Make sure you are prepared for a difficult battle.
If you are, talk to me again.

5.[Connection] Meaningless Power II
Have you heard of [Masamune]?
He was originally a governor in Oshu, but for some reason, he guards Puppeteer Rin now.
I think he is aspiring to be the greatest swordsman in the world, and he's been slaying the warriors who came here for fun.
Please get rid of him.
I'll reward you handsomely.

I can't believe it.
You really defeated Masamune?
Such a...
Anyway, I'll give you the reward as I promised.
However, this is not the end!
I'd like to ask you other favors, too...
Will you come see me when you're ready?

6.Straw Doll's Dance I
Did you happen to see the Gate of Torment?
Around that area are the spirits of those who wrongfully died on the battlefield, and if you look closely, you'll see women among them who cheer them on.
They are called [Hannya]. They look like normal human beings on the outside, but they are the incarnations of snake demons that came from the Gate of Torment.
Please, destroy them.

Please, destroy them.
You've been through a lot.
However, it's not over yet.
If you cross the Gate of Torment and go to the Tatami Room at the end, you will find [Puppeteer Rin], the root of all this evil.
We once studied under the same master, but she led us Iga Ninjas here by telling us it was our best chance to kill Oda Nobunaga.
However, Oda Nobunaga was nowhere to be found, and my master and the other Ninjas were killed or driven mad by an unknown energy.
Harnessing the vicious souls of the dead, she opened the Gate of Torment here.
Lin is strong!
You must be thoroughly prepared.
Speak to me when you are ready.

7.[Connection] Straw Doll's Dance II
Hah... Finally!
I'd like to ask you to defeat [Puppeteer Rin], the root of all this evil.
Come on. I think I can clear up this situation after she has been destroyed.
And... I need revenge for my fallen friends...

Did you really defeat Rin?
...Thank you. Thank you so much.
I'll give you your reward. Twice the treasure, as promised.
Master, Ren, Kaito, Mikuo.
I finally took revenge.
You don't have to suffer any more.
Master, please watch over us from heaven.
Why do you keep looking at me? You're making me embarrassed.
Do you perhaps want to help me with another task?
Can you talk to me again in 10 seconds?
Ah, I'm not crying!

8.Gate of Torment
I don't know if it's possible, but can you destroy the [Gate of Torment] in the middle of the Tatami Room?
Puppeteer Rin opened it with her magic, and those poor souls who died on the battlefield are pouring forth. However, if we don't do something, all of the evil of hell will crawl out, too.

Hmph! How about that, Rin!
You won't be tricking anyone else, will you?
Please, take these as your reward.
I hear they are used to break the seal on Empress Himiko.
Do you perhaps want to do some more work for me?
I need to talk to my sister for a second...

9.[Special] Noble Soul
According to my intelligence, you once met the [Mute Shaman], right?
Then I think I can trust you with the slaying of [Negoro Lord's Spirits].
Only five of them. No more than that.
'...Since she is a powerful shaman who communes with gods, she may be able to save these poor souls.'

Only five of them.
Please.

Now we're talking.
I hear that he was slaying the ghosts around here.
Do you think I can ask you to defeat [Yukawa Lord's Spirits]?
Only five of them. Nothing more.
