The saint, Toyosatomimi no Miko. One day, all because she wanted to make a refined object of art to decorate their dreary hallway, she was harshly rebuked by her servant. The offended saint stormed out of her home like a petulant child.

Aimlessly walking around, she came to a quiet riverside. There she encountered a devil who had left home for much the same reason as her. The saint thought to herself: "We've lost and are craving the exact same thing, you and I!"

The saint and the devil... Though in terms of position they were polar opposites, the loss of dignity they were struggling with was the same. This was how they met.
