"Have we met somewhere before?"

Douma's asked as some of his memories replayed in his mind about someone that has a familiar face with Inosuke.

"I don't remember maggot like you before! Don't touch my fur with your dirty hands!"

Inosuke denied angrily however Douma still keep insisting that he really remembered the black hair male with blue tip from somewhere.

"I'm sure we've met before. I have a good memory. I remember the time when I was human quite well."

After Douma finished his sentence, his finger abruptly pierced into his skull, into his brain. Kanae, Kanao, and Inosuke could just looked at what happened in shocked and terror.

"Hmm. Hmmm? Ahh! Here we go! Fifteen years ago? That's pretty recent."

Then, he started to talk about his memory toward her to the three of them to acknowledge his memories.

"There was a woman roughly 17 or 18 years old, carrying a baby. Her husband punched her every day. And her mother-in-law also bullied her daily. So my eternal paradise cult took in that poor woman.

She had no parents or siblings. There was no other place she could go to or be safe at.

When I first met her, her face was swollen so badly that I couldn't tell what the original shape was. It was pretty rough. And she was partially blind because of all the beatings to her face. But when I touched it. She went back to normal. She was so beautiful, and she left quite a lasting impression on me.

She got the same face as you, but she looked more delicate and soft. Your mom, am I right? Oh yeah! No mistaken about that."

"I've got no mother! I was raised by the boars! That was nothing to do with me!!"

After hearing the part of the story, Inosuke still keep denying about that the woman Douma talked about is his mother. On the other side, Douma just simply say or more like giving a small lesson to Inosuke.

"So a boar give birth to you? You're a human so a human must've given birth to you."

Not waiting any longer, Inosuke decided to attack him without warning, but even that it was sudden attack, Douma still didn't receive any injuries from that. However, Douma managed to give a wound across Inosuke's chest.

"Hey now, listen until the end. This encounter is nothing short of a miracle."

"Inosuke, are you ok!? Please calm down!"

Kanao worriedly said as she saw the wound on Inosuke's chest made by Douma. Contrary of Kanao that was startled of what had just happened, Kanae meanwhile just sit peacefully on the bridge. Yes peacefully.

"Kanae Ne-San???"

Kanao looked at her elder sister confused as to why she can just sit there peacefully like they were in the middle of break.

"Huh?"

At the mention of her name, Kanae just simply glanced toward Kanao that has a look of fright now.

"If he going to tell a story, I should just relaxing myself and listen right? Should use this time to refill my energy preparing for the fight after this. I mean if we continue to fight his strength won't going down soon and we might lost. So why not take a rest a bit and counterattack later?"

While Douma is clapping happily as there was someone gladly to listen to his story, Kanao just being purely shocked at how relax of her older sister could be.

And without being noticed by anyone in the room, Kanae's eyes is sharpened toward the blond male as if she waiting for something to occur...

"You hear that right? You two should just be relax to, especially you."

He pointed his fan toward Inosuke.

"It's about your own mom after all."

And with that he continued with his story about Inosuke's mother. (A/N: Let's relax and listen to the character's background story ^^—-)

"I have no intention to eat her. Having someone beautiful next to you feels pretty good, you know? She wasn't very smart though. That was unfortunate. But she was pretty, and good at singing. She used to carry you and sing a lot. It was that pinky promise lullaby for some reason.

Pinky promise, pinky promise.

That was all she sang to you.

And every time she sang that pinky promise song, the lyrics were different. At some point it became a tanuki village song. It was so cute."

"But she died, isn't she? Even that you say you didn't intend to eat her, but you still did in the end. Am I right?"

Kanae asked as she looked straightly toward Douma.

"You're quite right about that but let us continue with the story.

Of course I wasn't plan to eat her. I purely planned on having her by my side until she passed away. But your mom...right, Kotoha, was very sharp despite being so stupid. She found out I was eating worshippers. And despite all my explanations. She couldn't understand my benevolence.

It was insult after insult. Saying I spouted nothing but a horrible lies. Then she flew out of my temple and ran. I ran after her until at the edge of the cliff, and then...right she dumped her own child off of a cliff. How stupid can she be to think that dumping a child down the cliff will save him."

Douma then chuckles as he was telling the story of how naive Kotoha was for trying to save her child in dangerous way.

"Well but that child is survive after all, such a lucky person. And so then I killed and ate her to the very bone! If she went home, she'd get beat by her husband. And if she was by herself, she'd ended up dead by the road with you since she's hopelessly pathetic.

Kotoha was so unfortunate. Was there ever a happy moment in her life? She has a pointless existence."

Despite after all of the story that seems to be a sad story, Douma had ended it with a smile and laughed along with some insulted toward Kotoha's life that full of unfortunate things.

Inosuke that listened to all of the story along with the other two girls, clenched his fist on the sword tightly as he's now very furious at the upper-rank two demon.

"It truly is a miracle, meeting you here. The demon who killed my mother and my friend is right before my eyes!! Allow me to thank you for letting me remember, but I won't just cut your head off now!! I'll show you what true hell is like!!"

Inosuke said furiously as he pointed his sword toward Douma, prepared to fully fight with his face full of anger and madness.

'According to Shinobu-chan, the poison should take effect in anytime soon.... Inosuke-kun, I'm sorry that you might not get enough of revenge as much as you want, but I will end this fight soon.'

Kanae slowly standing up as she looks intensely at the blond guy, waiting for the right moment to strike back.
