Chapter 14

## Chapter Guide

**What About You** (テメーはどうだ, *Temē wa Dōda*?) is the fourteenth chapter of *Ayashimon*.

## Summary

Following Urara's telepathic instructions to target Kotton's heart-engine or head in order to defeat him, Maruo latches onto him as he is running and strikes his exhaust engine from behind. However, Kotton anticipates the attack earlier and races up to the sky to have Maruo fall. Meanwhile, Ten quickly admits to Wakku his defeat, but, after the wanyudo starts to insult Maruo and Urara, Ten becomes resolved to face him once again by bringing out his mask.

## Plot Details

While feeling the adrenaline rushing through his body, Maruo becomes shocked to hear Urara's voice coming from his irezumi and learns from her that she has the power to communicate with him telepathically through it, which is being done due to her losing sight of him in the large ring. She then moves on to tell him that in order to defeat Kotton he must target either his head or heart-engine but wonders how Maruo can deal with his speed. Kotton looks to see Maruo talking to himself, becoming unaware that he is actually talking to Urara, and charges at him while he is distracted to land another attack. However, Kotton turns around to notice Maruo holding onto a piece of his lose cloth as he is running. Maruo is berated by Urara after he made her think that he attacked without thinking earlier but tells her that he now has a clear mind due to hearing her voice and plans to win for the Urara Family. He then punches Kotton from behind to destroy his heart-engine. However, Maruo sees that his punch was cushioned by Kotton's cloth body, which leads to the ittan-momen telling him that he was too slow in his attack and that he needed to beat him with conviction rather than brute strength when it comes to fighting in a ritual duel. After restraining his hands with his cloth, Kotton runs up high in the air and claims his victory as he has Maruo fall.

At the same time, Ten finds himself effected by Wakku's yojutsu that is causing his head to circle around his body and vomits from the dizziness, which then leaves him open for Wakku to kick him away. Wakku becomes disappointed with Ten's lack of resilience in contrast to his teammates and tells him that he will use this fight to help him improve until he dies. After losing the will to fight, Ten repeatedly admits defeat to his opponent, which leads to Wakku insulting Urara and Maruo as he believes that they are as weak as him. Ten then becomes angry with Wakku for speaking bad about Urara and Maruo and tells him that he will not stand for it as he prepares to put on his mask and fight him once again.
