ようやく戦闘パート前編。
■短編とはいえフルカラー7Pは結構時間がかかりました…さぁ後は後編7Pだ…！orz

■用語解説　【怪】（け）：妖気・霊気・瘴気・魔素等、様々な呼び名を持つ『不可思議な何か』
即ち【禍】（か）の、凝り固まった状態、階位を指す呼称のひとつ。
その名のとおり、一般に妖怪と呼ばれるものであり、最早現実のものとは思えない異形の存在であるとされる。
また、取り込んだ【禍】の種類や【躯】（く）となったモノによって、そして遭遇した人々の意識の持ちようによっても大きく異なる姿で形を成す。
因みに【禍】（か）が人や物に憑いた状態、所謂『狐憑き』や事故の多発する『呪いの交差点』を【忌】（き）
とし、それらの【禍】が憑いたモノの【躯】を歪めて【怪】（け）へ化ける。

■【コ】についてはまた後ほど

Finally, the first part of the battle section.
It's short, but it's 7 pages full color, so it took a long time... Well, the last part is 7 pages...! orz
Glossary: "Strangeness": "Something unexplainable", given names like demon energy, ghost energy, miasma, mana. Basically, one of the ranks for the situation when "catastrophe" begins to form something. Just as the name suggests, it's generally something that's called youkai, and it's a strange appearing thing that already can't be considered reality. Also, depending on the "catastrophe" that it takes in, and the "body" it takes, as well as the mind of the people it encounters, it can take on a very strange form.
By the way, when "catastrophe" possesses people or things, it's called "possession", or when it occurs multiple times, a "cursed intersection" and is "warded".
Now, the "catastrophe" possessed a "body" and distorted it, turning this into a "strangeness".
I'll be discussing "body" later.
