"Fall for the Corrupted Maple" Assemble

* TW/JP Servers: August 20 - August 23 2022
* GL Server: August 20 - August 23 2022

This event was the pre-release assembly event for the SP shikigami Kokorogari Kijo Momiji. Over the course of three days, players could click on a red daruma in the summon page to receive six mystery amulets, and read a short story concerning Momiji's strange and sudden proposal.

* Day 1
* Day 2
* Day 3

Momiji's Servant
My Lady, please rest here while I scout the area.
Heartseeker Momiji
Ngh... Had I not lost so much power in the last battle...
Momiji's Servant
You must rest. Using your power now will only cause you to collapse...
Heartseeker Momiji
If the evil force coming from the Six Realms Gates crack continues to grow and infect the Red Forest, the spirits will go berserk...
*Shrills echo from the cave's mouth, and the clatter of claws scraping against the stone wall comes closer. The evil spirits have tracked them down.*

*Momiji tries unsuccessfully to stand up.*

Momiji's Servant
I didn't expect them to find us so fast...
*An evil spirit grabs a servant by the neck as they race to the entrance. The spirit strengthens its hold as the servant futilely resists.*

*It then opens its mouth and devours the servant in one bite.*

Evil Spirit
Yum... yum...
*The evil spirit advances. Momiji giggles without even flinching.*

Heartseeker Momiji
You vile creature. Nothing can stop me until Master Seimei's body and soul are mine…
*► Battle*

*► Later*

*The atmosphere in Heian-kyo is tense. Even in the early hours of the morning, fighting can be heard.*

Hiromasa
It took just a few days for this place to devolve into chaos.
Seimei
When confronted with the fear of the unknown, anxiety becomes uncontrollable. If we don’t stop the crack from spreading…
Seimei
Despondency will overtake the populace, order will start to break down, and mayhem will result.
Seimei
Perhaps the arrival of the Evil Gods will be men’s true test. We’re almost out of time…
Hiromasa
!
*Hiromasa suddenly reaches out and grabs something from the window. He opens his hand to reveal a doll.*

Seimei
That’s… Momiji’s Maple Doll… You can let it go.
*The Maple Doll flies towards Seimei, who discovers an invitation made of maple leaf pinned to the doll’s back. Seimei opens it.*

*It reads…*

*“Master Seimei, the wedding is ready. Please return right away. -Momiji”*

Hiromasa
W-wedding?
Seimei
…
Seimei
She was injured in the previous battle, and now, everyone and everything has been affected by the opening of the Six Realms Gates.
Seimei
I don’t know why she sent me this invitation, but I fear something may have happened to her…
Hiromasa
If you’re going, I’ll join you. I’ve been cooped up here for long enough.
*A sudden uproar is heard from outside the Courtyard. Hiromasa readies his bow.*

Seimei
More evil spirits… It seems like another long night is in store.
*► Battle*

*► Later*

*Seimei and Hiromasa arrive at the Red Forest.*

Hiromasa
This forest seems lifeless. We haven’t seen a single living thing since we got here.
Seimei
The wandering spirits of the forest are nowhere to be found. It is as I feared, the Red Forest has also been affected…
Hiromasa
The clock is ticking and we have yet to find Momiji or any evidence of the wedding she mentioned. How are we going to find anything aimlessly wandering around?
Seimei
The ground appears to be leading us somewhere, the tree branches are becoming increasingly twisted as we go deeper.
Seimei
I think we’ll soon know where Momiji is.
*The tree roots suddenly entangle Seimei and Hiromasa’s feet as some evil spirits manifested themselves.*

Hiromasa
But first, let’s get rid of these foolish obstacles.
