A certain inn in Kyoto.
The conspicuous attire of Ushi Time had already been effortlessly shed after leaving Echo Mountain at dawn.
The long hair that previously draped over her face was now tied back.
Currently, she looked no different from a human.
Just a strikingly beautiful woman in her early twenties.
That description wasn't entirely accurate, though, as Ushi Time still carried traces of supernatural energy fluctuations. However, even a keen exorcist encountering her human form probably wouldn't overthink it, presuming her to be a colleague by default.
This former Lady Taki-Yasha, now the Woman of the Ugly Hour, indeed held an exorcist identity within human society.
An independent, unofficial exorcist of the Yuden Shinto tradition, a status even filed with the Countermeasures Office in Osaka.
