"What are these skinning ghosts gibbering about?"
Amidst the foothills of Kijima Mountain, Kanoya gracefully crouched on a snow-laden pine branch.
Not far ahead, a group of skinning ghosts trudged through the snowstorm, emitting a clear stench of cold malice.
The Shoutoku's Incense Burner that Kanoya carried with her was emitting a faint white glow. A regular person couldn't smell the scent of the incense, but someone like Little Deer, with her extraordinary spiritual olfactory sense, could catch a faint whiff of early spring plum blossoms.
This was the "Plum Blossom" fragrance formula of the "Six Fumigations and Four Directions" magic that Little Deer excelled at.
The Plum Blossom formula was the faintest of all the scents in the "Six Fumigations and Four Directions," and its subtle, cold plum fragrance would erase and cover up the user's original scent.
It is a fragrance path magic used for concealing one's actions.
