Who knows. They are pretty adaptable, those humans.
[ unseen on her end, shuten touches her side; the site of a nasty stabbing she suffered recently. light as they come, shuten debates her next words. ]
One of them managed to get me a couple times. Fufu. She's fun.
[ then, an indulgent sigh. ]
It's like we're living, breathing oni again. Forcing the brat and the cow to get along back at Chaldea was hilarious and all, but this is more our style ... don't you think?
[ congregating, bullying, fighting, wreaking havoc on the population. but they're stuck living amongst their victims, the gem and gembonded alike, currently. ]
[So Ibaraki can rip them apart. She looks and sounds incredulous. The only way she thinks someone could have managed to get a one up on her glorious and beautiful Shuten is through some sort of poisoned trickery.]
A-ah... mm-- [Despite her upset over the whole notion that someone "got" Shuten, Ibaraki nods her head. So long as her partner in crime was having fun.]
It's like Edo all over again...! Though people here could give us a bit more tribute and worship.
Oh, just a little butterfly girl I picked up before you arrived. Maybe I'll introduce you sometime?
[ but maybe "butterfly girl" is enough to pick her out of a crowd, given how heavy-handed the demon slayer is with the motif. ]
Fufu, you're hoping for a bit too much, Ibaraki. Though, I hear that place — ahhh, what was it called again? Primavera? They're pleeenty spiritual over there. Like back home.
Maybe we should introduce ourselves.
[ settle in, see how an alien land, somehow so very like their own, reacts to a new infestation of oni. maybe they really will offer tribute ... wouldn't that be something. ]

Ahh, it's so pathetic I don't know what to do with myself. There's so many of those uniformed warriors here, too.
Maybe if they band together they'll have a chance.
[ maybe not, but shuten thinks of her favorite little butterfly here — and the ways she's managed to surprise her. ]

Then I doubt they'd last any longer even if they acted as one.
[Then again humans tended to be a surprising bunch.]

What do you think?

Oh... oh! But Shuten, are you suggesting what I think you are? Kukuku, yes. Yes! That's an excellent idea!
[Offer tribute willing or not. Property values are probably going to plummet there though....]
