Although the process was a bit complicated, the outcome turned out well.
With a new director hired, production of The Wind and Cloud Heroines Dominate the Ninja World resumed!
This time, Kazahana Yukihime no longer played Princess Fengyun, but rather Princess Feng.
Tamamo Hotaru took the role of Princess Yun.
According to the script, the two were sworn sisters — unrelated by blood, yet closer than real family.
At the age of twelve, enemy forces invaded their country. Their parents died defending the kingdom, and in their moment of grief, immense power awakened!
Princess Feng's Kekkei Genkai instantly went out of control, freezing the entire castle in ice.
In the end, only the two sisters, Feng and Yun, survived.
Well… not exactly.
A single serving girl also survived for some unknown reason. Her catchphrase was always: "No money, no money…", so naturally, her name was No Money.
Shinji personally selected Moxi — who was still wandering around taking random minor roles — to play this part.
He had no special motive other than wanting to observe her further and figure out exactly what she was up to.
In the story, while traveling across the sea, they met a pirate named Monkey D. Luffy. Upon hearing their tragic story, Luffy immediately promised to help them get revenge.
He then introduced his good friends Doraemon B, Conan Edogawa, Kenpachi Zaraki, and Hitsugaya to them.
And so, the two princesses, accompanied by their maid and their new friends, set off on a grand adventure and quest for revenge…
To be honest, after reading this nonsensical script — clearly written overnight by someone with too much free time — Kazahana Yukihime was utterly confused and lost.
But since she couldn't go against the wishes of her financial backer, she had no choice but to force herself to act.
Tamamo Hotaru, on the other hand, had already decided she had nothing left to lose. She acted completely relaxed, doing exactly as she was told — no stunt doubles, no tricks, no pretending to eat.
She had long since realized she was nothing more than a tool in this plan.
Acting well or badly didn't matter at all. What really mattered was successfully luring out their target.
And so, all kinds of news and rumors — half true, half made up — began spreading everywhere.
Some said she was a peerless beauty who appeared only once in a billion years.
Meaning, even a single‑celled organism like a paramecium would drool and call her beautiful upon seeing her.
Others claimed she had undergone extensive plastic surgery, and that her success was entirely due to her powerful sponsor.
Otherwise, how could a newcomer take the leading role and stand above someone as famous as Kazahana Yukihime in her very first film?
There were even rumors that she was the daughter of a god. Supposedly, a man named Drew once drank a little bit of her bathwater, and the very next day he won the lottery and began his rise to the peak of life.
These absurd and outrageous rumors actually worked wonders for her fame. Tamamo Hotaru became an overnight sensation!
Whether her reputation was good or bad, or whether her fame was genuine or controversial, didn't matter.
For the next few days, whenever filming took place, crowds of onlookers surrounded the set from inside to outside.
There were even people actually offering high prices just to buy the legendary "bathwater."
Don't get the wrong idea — they probably weren't looking for wealth or magic. They were simply curious about what it tasted like.
It was amidst this storm of gossip and attention that Shinji finally waited for the person he was after.
To give the culprit a perfect opportunity, Shinji made sure Tamamo Hotaru was left unguarded every single day.
---
That night.
A slender figure stealthily slipped into her room.
The intruder was thin, with heavy dark circles under his eyes, and carried a mirror in his hand.
His expression was twisted and feral as he crept closer and closer.
But Tamamo Hotaru had never let her guard down. She had set up alarm traps throughout the room, so the moment he stepped across the threshold, she woke up instantly.
Then she saw it — a mirror.
It was a simple, handheld bronze mirror. But strangely… the reflection of herself inside it was smiling at her.
Smiling?
I wasn't smiling…
In the next moment, she lost consciousness completely.
Having subdued her so easily, the intruder seemed to have expected exactly this result.
He crouched down, reaching out to touch her beautiful face —
Suddenly, a white fox, larger than a wild wolf, leaped out from the corner and slammed right into him!
Caught completely off guard, the intruder was knocked rolling to the ground, and the bronze mirror fell from his hand.
Seeing the white fox standing guard fiercely over Tamamo Hotaru, the man quickly grabbed the mirror and fled.
His precious mirror was powerful, but it had limits: it didn't work on men or animals — only on women.
He had paid a heavy price to obtain this item, but the ability to humiliate and dominate those proud, untouchable female celebrities had brought immense pleasure to his already twisted mind.
Originally, he had targeted Kazahana Yukihime. But over the last few days, this new woman named "Hotaru" had suddenly become famous everywhere, so he had changed his plan.
He never expected she would keep such a terrifying white fox in her room, forcing him to retreat empty‑handed.
Moon, the white fox, didn't chase after him. Instead, she stayed beside Tamamo Hotaru, licking her cheek repeatedly, trying to wake her up.
Even though she was only a beast, she understood more than many humans.
She knew there was no need to chase. Because something far more terrifying was already waiting outside.
And indeed — that terrifying presence was none other than Akagi Shinji!
"No reaction… so it really is just a human."
Shinji glanced at his [Greed Eye], which remained completely silent, then looked at the fleeing suspect — somewhat surprised.
But whether this man was truly the killer or not, Shinji had no intention of letting him escape.
「Freeze.」
As soon as the [Cursed Words] left his mouth, the man stiffened like a puppet whose strings had been cut. He couldn't move a muscle.
Cold sweat instantly poured down his body.
"Were you the one killing all those actresses recently?"
Shinji walked slowly up to him, and with a simple flick of his finger, countless blood‑red threads shot out and bound the man tightly.
Just to be safe, Shinji also took the bronze mirror away from him.
"Give it back!"
This action instantly enraged the intruder. He struggled wildly, his face twisting into a hideous grimace.
"Answer me. Or I'll smash it to pieces."
A faint look of surprise flashed across Shinji's face, though he kept his expression calm and unreadable.
Because the moment he picked up the mirror, the system had already given him a notification.
> Cursed Object — [Magic Mirror]
>
> Description: An object formed from the accumulated obsession and vanity of countless women regarding beauty.
>
> Effect: Any woman who sees her reflection in this mirror will fall into a beautiful, false dream and become completely trapped within it.
>
> Side Effect: Constantly absorbs the life essence and vitality of its holder.
>
> P.S.: Mirror, mirror, on the wall… who is the fairest of them all?~
…
Now Shinji understood exactly how Tamamo Hotaru had been subdued without even a fight.
He also realized that this man had committed all those crimes solely by relying on this single object.
But judging by the man's current physical condition, his life force was almost completely drained. He wouldn't live much longer anyway.
As for the [Magic Mirror], Shinji decided to keep it.
Not because he wanted to abuse it or do anything evil — but simply because its power was truly formidable. It was practically a perfect weapon specifically designed for use against women!
It was so powerful that perhaps even the legendary Princess Kaguya wouldn't be able to resist its effect!
