Stage 1 theme.
The image of a midnight forest. As it's the first stage,
I aimed for something a little energetic, so hopefully
people would get into it.
But isn't it something a little more comical and hectic?

Stage 1 boss. A youkai.

She is of no importance to the story, and isn't up to anything in particular in her life. The ribbon tied to her hair is actually a charm; she can't touch it even though there have been times when she wanted to take it off.

There is no evidence of her ability in the game, but in truth, places around her are always as dark as night.

Rumia interrupts you during your search of the source of the scarlet mist. With her around, there's not enough light to find the way to the lake, so you might as well put an end to her nighttime snack craving. Rumia's attacks are not very sophisticated, and she chooses her normal attacks randomly.

Rumia's Theme: Apparitions Stalk the Night

Rumia's theme.
Not just this, but all the music this time is meant to
be light. This comes from an image of youkai in night.

It's fairly relaxed and a little silly.
