Summary
This russet-haired woman appears in Episode 2 when the trio is moving through a forest. She is characterized by full lips and burgundy lipstick. After Mugen repairs her broken sandal strap, she leads him to a nearby shack where they engage in a passionate kiss. However, Mugen stops the encounter when he realizes he has been poisoned. Hotaru explains that both the drink she gave him and her lipstick contain a toxin known as "one Night's Mushroom" (Hitoyo-take, C. curtus), which is harmless on its own but becomes lethal when mixed with alcohol, leading to his death by morning. She discloses that she is employed by Ryujiro, who possesses the only antidote. With the clock ticking, Mugen chooses to spare her life and hurries away. She does not appear again in the story.
