so...
in Prologue : we have Zashiki Warashi
in Chapter 1 : we get to know Yuki Onna
in Chapter 2 : dunno...but I think its a blood sucker Nure Onna
in Chapter 3 : ???
in last chapter : a Succubus!!
so..in 2nd chapter a crazed Nure Onna is the culprit?
since she suck blood and the victims dry condition, let assume she attack all the victims and some one get rid of the corpse using a common way the pirates dispose their traitor member.
or may be Nure Onna guard something which been the victims target (the brand named rice) and to appease the deceased, they give them a little token of apologize?
after this volume ended, and Nure Onna somehow freed from her servitude and attach herself to the uncle, I wonder what will happen once he visit his nephew with an over jealous Yuki Onna on-guard
Shinobu: "Uncle ?!"
Hayabusha: "uh! well she's quite attached to me...so..eh?!"
Nure Onna: *smitten by Shinobu's Youkai-Magnet-charm*
Zashikiwarashi: *smell trouble and dissipate away into thin air*
Yuki Onna: staring at Nure Onna wet sexy figure....stare at Shinobu
Yuki Onna: "You'll be terminated" *entering battle mode while summon ice blade to impale Nure Onna*
lets the cat fight begin XD
