"You play beautifully my dear."

The words came from a queer fellow who was standing behind her. He wore robes with skull armor on the shoulders, and had six eyes and a constant rictus grin. He held a war fan in his palm.

"And what might your name be?"

Zashiki blinked, looking down after a second and offering an odd sort of smile. He felt... strange to her, but a lot of people in that world did, and she was having a difficult time pinpointing what was bad as what wasn't.

Of course manners dictated that she be polite regardless.

"A-ah... Z-Zashiki Warashi..."

"Akumaro Sujigarano," the Gedoushu said, bowing. "I'm just a sorceror passing through... and then I heard your music, and I thought I must comment..."

[child_kanji]

Zashiki just barely quirked an eyebrow, seeming to have an odd thought right then. Whatever it was, she didn't voice it, instead putting her flute away in her hanging sleeves and making her way carefully down the tree to the ground.

"Th-thank you for your compliment, sir," she said, bowing in return.

Akumaro let out a dark chuckle.

"Zashiki-chan... you are now under my control, correct?" he said, in a sing-song voice. "The Hold on Mind and Body... I am an expert in manipulating the spirits of humans..."

He stood up.

"Stand up, Zashiki."

[child_kanji]

Slowly, Zashiki nodded and rose to her feet as he had ordered.

"I need more time child," the Gedoushu said. "So... I am going to suppress my spell now, Zashiki-chan. You will remember nothing of your time under my command, and will revert back to my control when I will it so..."

[child_kanji]

Again, Zashiki nodded. It was all she could do in that state. The poor thing had no idea what was happening to her.
