■第25回　畏哭は出落ち、いやいや個性です。野寺坊

プランナーから大餓鬼の上位版が欲しいと話があり、前面が無敵が良いです！と。という事は後ろは弱点になる。

古のギャグマンガを連想してしまうも、これは大真面目に作るぞと。

出て来た時に姿は見えなくても音で存在が分かる様にプレイヤーにはプレッシャーをかけないといけません。

ああ、あいつが来たな、と。という事で、防御も兼ねて鐘を被らせれば万事解決だ！となりました。

■The 25th: The Fearful Cry is a letdown, no, it's a personality trait. Yatera-bo  

The planner mentioned wanting an upgraded version of the Great Hungry Ghost, and they said it'd be great if the front was invincible! Which means the back would be the weak point.  

It reminds me of old gag manga, but no, we're making this dead seriously.  

When it appears, even if its form isn't visible, the players need to sense its presence through sound so it doesn't pressure them too much.  

Ah, that guy's coming, you know. So, to handle that, we decided to have it wear a bell for defense too, and that solves everything!

Plaque Lore:

寺の鐘かねを突つくと決まって大量の蛙かえるが寄ってくる。その様子を見て楽しんでいた坊主ぼうずがいた。ある時、傷を負った落ち武者が寺に迷い込こんだ。 追手が来るも咄嗟とっさに坊主ぼうずは嘘うそをつき落ち武者を匿かくまったがその嘘うそがばれてしまい、切り殺されてしまう。坊主ぼうずの亡骸なきがらの周りには蛙かえるたちが寄り添そい、助かった落ち武者は自らの鎧よろいを坊主ぼうずに着せ供養したという。

There once was a priest who enjoyed ringing the temple bell to lure in a colony of frogs. One day, a wounded warrior came to the temple with his pursuers in tow. The priest tried to hide the defeated warrior, but his lies were seen through and he was cut down. Frogs gathered around the fallen priest's form, and the rescued warrior shrouded him in his own armor.

Frogs are on him in the artwork! Too bad none come when he rings his bell.

This story is quite touching...
