Did the bastard who killed Nue die in the war as well...?

Yes, right at the start. ...Wait, what do you mean by "Nue"?

Oh, so her name was Nue!?

Eh!? Yeah...?

Even if we asked, she'd always dodge the question.

Ah, sorry... It was that unidentifiable youkai's name.

Come to think of it, she was always making that nue-like whistle.

What was your relation to this Nue?

Well...

I'm the one who gave her that name.
