While you may not have known me in life, I certainly knew of you. Even a man living on the mountains would have heard to the exploits of the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven. "If the bird does not sing, kill it" was it not? In that case the meeting between us in life would certainly have ended with one of us dying. I find it rather difficult to be ordered around by others who have not first earned my trust.
Of course, I would probably be the one to die. Not bearing a holy sword or any such great weapons that could render armies meaningless, it may very well be that a strong cavalry charge or even just a stray bullet would have been the end of me.
But in spite of my many failings, you hold me in high esteem, and I can hardly ask for more. After all, if this was the land where we were both alive, a feudal lord could give a peasant a name. Perhaps if we had met earlier, I wouldn't be a nameless ghost? Still, as they say, it was inevitable.

I rather enjoyed the cake.
