Meaning: Slope
The devil‘s grave is right before you. All that’s left is having to walk up this sharp slope to get there.
Imagine how painful it is to climb up this steep slope. It’s long too… really long. Focus in on the slope / hill and think about how terrible this is. Your legs are burning and you feel like you’re going to collapse.
Reading: さか
When you get to the top of the slope, you find something odd. A bunch of kids are playing soccer (さか), using the devil’s gravestone as a goal.
Feel fear for the kids. You know that this is how you re-awaken the devil! You run over to stop the children from playing soccer, but it’s too late. The soccer-form of the devil has arisen, and a new soccer devil is born. “Want to play some soccer, kids?” he says, as he kicks their ball down the slope.
