Your hatred of oni is because of that Kijin woman, right?

You seem like you hold all sortsa grudges, and yet... You sure played the nice girl to that reporter.

I was being honest.

Besides, the worse you make her sound, the happier it makes her.

Having it written that I don't care anymore, that I've forgiven her, is far more of a punishment.

That's the kind of youkai amanojaku are.

It sure seems like... there's a lot going on there. Between you and that amanojaku.

Hey. How'd you guys meet, anyway? You were living in the Shining Needle Castle, right?

Yeah. She showed up there one day, begging for help.

H... Hide me, please! I'm being hunted by some very bad people...

In retrospect, it was probably already part of her act...
