She killed, she devoured, she stole, she created. She repeated the cycle tirelessly. When she came to the point of being able to destroy a town on her own, uninvited guests began entering her domain.

...

It was a spirit so dense she had mistaken it for a human. That spirit had Yachika’s head in her hand and was squeezing it. The moment she realized that, her existence converged into the form of a body.

“I do not know what you are planning, nor do I have any grudge against you. You may think me cruel for visiting this fate upon you...but your existence is a threat to us. As a guardian spirit, I cannot ignore you.”

“What?! What’s happening?!” Yachika attempted to throw off the mysterious spirit’s grip. Though she struggled violently, she couldn’t make the hand gripping her head move so much as an inch.

Yachika decided to unleash all the power she had built up. It frustrated her to have to spend it all in a place like this, but her existence was on the line. Yet, no matter how much power she used, the grip on her head didn’t loosen. Instead, it grew tighter, as if the other ghost was trying to crush her.

“Such is the difference in our age, I suppose. No matter what hatred you feel or grudge you bear, against my raw power, you stand no chance.”

“Let go! Let go of me! I don’t have time for this! I have to kill them!” Her mind, her memories were going dark. She couldn’t recall what had made her so furious, so full of malice.

“Calm yourself. I do not have the power to erase you. The most I can do is scatter your form. As long as you persist in this world, you will eventually be able to start over. I have no quarrel with you. Just start again somewhere far from us.”

There was nothing to be crushed, but Yachika felt something crunch inside of her. Something within her had broken, and she was now dissipating, scattering.

“Just like this, I am always in the shadows, protecting my charge unseen. A bizarre thing for me to say about myself, I know...”

As Yachika’s consciousness faded, the last thing she heard was the strange spirit grumbling.

Note: I won't include the original Japanese text for the first excerpt even though it was altered because the only thing I did was replace "city" with "town" (which is what 街 means in this case).
