Ah, it was a typical conversation between a bullying spirit and lower yokai. There wasn't really anything Kono should do… but for some reason she felt the need to do something. It was a strange impulse that overcame her every now and then.
"Don't talk back to me! You're just weak spirits anyways!" The bully yokai pulled back its arm to hit one of the other yokai. "I'll show you to have respect!"
"Oh, dear, Goro! Where are you!" Kono hurriedly stepped past bushes, wedging herself between the bully and the bullied. Calling out some random pet name, Kono made sure to act like she couldn't see the yokai at all. Blocking the bully's view, she allowed the other two yokai to get away.
"Oh, Goro, you always do this to me!" Finally moving away, Kono left behind the bully yokai confused and somewhat angry.
Chuckling to herself in her head, she continued following a random path through the forest. Although, it wasn't long before she realized the two yokai from before were following her. It was easy to hear their loud whispering.
Kono hadn't really taken note of them before, but she noticed one yokai was like a big single eye with wings. It seemed rather rational and smart, but clumsy too and weak-willed. The small yokai was like a cuddly monster doll. It wasn't especially bright (it was the one loudly whispering), but it was certainly energetic and friendly.
What a nice friendship, Kono thought to herself. But what are they following me for?
She decided to ignore them, and they continued to follow her for days.
