The full name of this weapon is the "Mighty Redhorn Stoic Stonethreshing Gilded Goldcrushing Lion Lord,"
|
|
And it was once the beloved blade of an eccentric known as the "Otogi Kongou Lion King."
|
|
|
|
...But since both names were overly verbose,
|
|
The children named the weapon the Redhorn Pestle, and its wielder the "Otogi King."
|
|
|
|
The Redhorn Pestle was a weapon made from an enchanted monster's horn,
|
|
And bake-kitsune, bake-danuki, and evil demons alike would all have to beg for mercy before its bite.
|
|
Even Reizenbou, Great Tengu of Mt. Yougou,
|
|
Feared the ominous power of the Pestle, and would not come forth to face the Lion King!
|
|
|
|
...Of course, the children never believed such tales.
|
|
Still, the Otogi King truly was very strong. Even seven men together could not push him out of a dohyou.
|
|
And when he saw children hankering after fruit they could not reach, he would kick the tree and send the melons plummeting down.
|
|
That said, he did once kick the whole tree down, and was chased into the mountains by an old man.
|
|
He also once brought the children to crash an official autumn leaf-watching concert,
|
|
Crying in a loud voice "The Otogi Kongou Lion King is here. Demons beware!"
|
|
He then wrestled with the petite oni who just happened to be in the mood for a tussle... The results were too tragic to watch.
|
|
|
|
But if this was all the King had, to the point where he was never given the right to wear the Shogun's colors,
|
|
How could he, the children said, possibly bring those youkai of song to heel?
|
|
|
|
"Hah! I was just suffering from the chills after a long night of drinking, that's all!"
|
|
Even as the Otogi King made his excuses, he did not forget to laugh heartily.
|
|
Was he just shameless, or did he really believe that he could win? No one could say...
|
|
|
|
"This time, I'll definitely cut off the horns of those monsters,"
|
|
"And bring them back for ya. That'll show you the might of the Otogi Kongou Lion King!"
|
|
"Those creatures from beyond the ocean? Pfft! Easy pickings, I tell ya!"
|
|
|
|
"So yeah, shoo, shoo, follow the fox envoy to go hide in a corner and stuff."
|
|
"I'll swing by later. We'll have ourselves a few wrestling bouts then, eh?"
|
|
|
|
Even as he said that, the children remembered how the dainty oni had huffed softly,
|
|
Hurling the roaring, onrushing Otogi King into the sky...
|
|
|
|
Later, the oni who had wrestled with the Otogi King would flee after having her arm and horn cut off,
|
|
While the Great Tengu would no longer appear before humans, living in hermitage in the mountains and woods.
|
|
And so, the empty boasts behind this greatsword came true in the end,
|
|
Though the wandering, eccentric Otogi Kongou Lion King himself never returned again.
|
|
Even later on, the Lavender Melon tree that he kicked down would, with careful tending, once again bear fruit. |
