Role in Games

Kiwami, Yamato's daughter, is a receptionist for the Slayer organization, a government created to protect humanity from demons in Nakatsu Kuni. She smiles to cheer up warriors and cope with desolation. She volunteered to help Slayers during the "Awakening" and earned Souma's appreciation. Yuu helps wounded protagonists and shares local gossip to encourage them. When her soul is consumed by Izuchikanata, she enjoys a peaceful picnic with her father and friends.

Personality

Bubbly and cheerful Yū is a filial daughter who openly shows her affection and happily cooks her father's meals. There are many men who want to court Yū, but they are too intimidated by Yamato to try. The player can learn of the chief's softer side through her and she can translate Tenko's mewings. Yū tries her best to speak their language in private.

Personal Requests

The protagonist can complete her chain of personal requests to greatly boost their affinity ratings with her. Her requests are clearly labeled with her name in each posting. They must be completed in consecutive order.

Request Objectives	Tips for clearing	Reward (aside from bond boost)
ねじれた根x5	Find randomly on the ground in Bu. Common.	300 haku
鉄鉱石x5	Find randomly on the ground in Ko or Ran. Common.	1,000 haku
長い尾x5	Hunt for Onmoraki Fujo in Ran; purify its corpse to randomly obtain. Common.	1,000 haku
金紅石x5	Find randomly on the ground in Miyabi, Sen, or Bu (upper tier versions, post main story). Common.	金眼四ツ目の鬼面, 手作り糧食 (if affinity is maxed)

Higher affinity additionally increases the chances of her appearing within the village's bathing area.

Function

The player must check in with Yū for every mission and cannot leave the village until they confirm their departure. Yū offers requests from Utakata Village residents, which can boost affinity ratings, offer village upgrades, and reward items or currency. The player can take up to five requests simultaneously. Yū may refuse to accept missions or turn in requests during the solo storyline. Protagonists can "go to sleep" by returning to their home.

Missions

Solo Play

Offline missions which can be accessed without co-op. The main story is concluded within five chapters. Chapters 6 and 7 are bonus hunting missions which offer demons and harder stages not seen during the main story. They have no story continuity and are ideal for collecting the game's rarer parts.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer missions are separated by their difficulty levels and offer more stages than those seen in solo play. Players can find demons and rare items exclusive to this mode.

Requests

Character-specific requests are commissioned by villagers, unlocked based on player progress in the main story, and must be completed consecutively.
