Witch Card
イキガミの魔女その性質は視常に自身の不浄を洗い流そうとしている魔女。核に至るまで染まった不浄を洗い流すため、24時間ひたすら水を被っている。舌にある無数の眼で未来を見通す力をもつらしいがいつまで経てど浄化されていない未来の姿に思い悩んでばかりいるため、他のことを見る余裕はあまりない様子。己の穢れが全て拭われるその日まで魔女は禊を止めないだろう。禊を邪魔する者は落雷と水流で責め尽くし自身から滴り落ちた穢れで染め殺してしまう。

The ikigami witch. Her nature is purification. A witch who is constantly trying to wash away her uncleanliness. She pours water over her head for 24 hours a day, in order to wash away the impurities that stain her to her core. The many eyes on her tongue apparently have the power to see the future, but since she’s constantly troubled by the sight of her forever-unpurified future self, she can hardly be bothered to foresee anything else. Until the day when all of her impurities have been wiped clean, this witch’s rites will likely never end. She punishes those who interrupt her rites with lightning and water currents, and fatally sullies them with the impurities trickling off herself. | ||||||||||
Minions
イキガミの魔女の手下。その役割は侍従魔女の面倒を見るため、常に魔女の足元にまとわりついている手下。魔女の禊によって流れてくる浄化の水を被ると消滅してしまうのでいつも右往左往しているが、それでも主を慕い禊が終わる時を心待ちとして離れることはない。ちなみに、魔女から洗い流されてくる穢れを餌として生きているため、魔女が完全浄化されてしまうとそれはそれで困ってしまうらしい。

Minions of the ikigami witch. Their role is to be attendants. These minions are usually found swarming around the witch’s feet, attending to her needs. The water flowing from the witch’s purification rites will dissolve them on contact, forcing them to constantly rush back and forth, but they adore their master nonetheless. They never leave her side, eagerly awaiting the day when her purification is complete. They also happen to feed off the impurity that washes off from the witch, so it seems like they’ll be faced with a different problem if she’s ever completely purified. | ||||||||||
