They love and respect their older sibling very much (calling them "Yaorochi-sama") and wish to be close with them, but Yaorochi doesn't notice or care about them anymore, as they are too obsessed with Tasouken. Even if they're aware that Yaorochi cares very little about other people, much less them, Saragimaru doesn't mind and they're happy as long as they can continue passively protecting their older sibling. Saragimaru currently works as Kuroji's servant after the two first met, and they consider Kuroji a contradictory and vicious scoundrel who gets away with everything

Adagumo no Saragimaru's Backstory=The leader of a powerful clan (Yamata no Orochi) was betrayed and killed by other enemy clans and his body was dispersed in several fragments. Saragimaru was born from his eye, and because of it, they're very knowledgeable. Yaorochi and their seven siblings decided to get revenge on Yamata no Orochi's murderers, but most of them died before achieving their goal. Yaorochi was very cold and distant to their younger siblings and for some reason never got along particularly well with the youngest, Saragimaru, which even eventually escalated to violence.]
