II ...Last time, as a joke, I purposely wrote in
difficult expressions but it seems it didn't make sense!! So
I'll write normally. Idiot~

Q 1. What is this Kodoku?
Translation by Tasuki no Miko
A. In Vol.5 Kodoku made a lot of Tamahome fans cry.... Actually, it
doesn't "manipulate someone" but rather is a "killing curse" spell. From
the very begining Nakago was saying "use kodoku" so I assumed another drug
used it, but that was too complicated so I unified it as "Kodoku". About
the way Kodoku is made. It is the poison from worms...but I can't really
explain it more than that, (In the first place I don't know the details
myself) so I won't.
While we're at it, Tamahome got light-headed from Jakou but it's only
the perfume taken from the inside of a "musk deer", it is fairly ordinary
so either
Though they call it Jakou, it was actually some other incense
Tamahome, coming from a poor family, had never smelled such a sweet incense
before and was overwhelmed by it
The creator merely used something obscure. Which of the 3
is it?
There are actually quite a lot of different ways of using it.

Q 2. Is there really such a thing as a Bouchuu spell?
Translation by Tasuki no Miko
A. ...Yes. You mustn't look down on China. The Bouchuu spell is a sex
spell. Males are the "Yang" ki and females are the "Yin" ki. It was a spell
to aquire eternal youth and long life by developing a man's "Yang" ki by
absorbing the woman's "Yin" ki!! So the men draws their partners ki in
with this and preserves their health. (I wonder if it's true?) (But...because
it was unfair it made me want to say "That's impossible") So it's not a
weird thing. Nakago having Soi as a partner was in order to develope his
ki. Deep isn't it?

Q 3. How does Tasuki get his hair like that?
Translation by Tasuki no Miko
A. You mustn't look down on China. Because Japan's past culture was
always taking after China there were a lot of people who said "Being from
that time..." That was a time when they were already keeping records and
Japan's culture was young. (probably) Am I wrong?
They should've at least had oil. Women who fixed their hair in those Chinese
bun hairstyles used a hard gel so it wouldn't lose its shape for days.
They slept resting their necks on wood or a small pillow so even while
they were sleeping it wouldn't lose its shape...I think in Japan's Edo
era they did that as well.
So Tasuki, who cares about his appearence after all, carries about
oil and fixes his hair like that. But, it could just be unruly hair. (Tasuki):Hey
Hey
