[It is the most well known and told story in her homeland so you better stay awake for at least the majority of it, Asch. B| Though, if he does fall asleep, she won't be very upset at all. It's better that Asch rest anyway, and Miyabi's hoping her story will get him to relax more, listen, and ease his mind off of his injuries, and especially what may have caused them.]

To satiate the appetite of Orochi, a fearsome, cave-dwelling beast, a young maiden was offered as a sacrifice at the annual festival. [She looks back at Asch's face for a moment or two, then down again, her face getting harder and more serious.] With a body the size of a mountain, and eight heads mounted on necks the size of tree trunks, its blood-red eyes alone were said to curse anyone who gazed into them. ...No one dared disobey the horrific beast.
