Oh, in passing. Even if you have not spoken with them, proximity should be enough to tell what I mean, but it seems you haven't noticed.
...Interestingly enough, The Enma is the only one who has not revealed himself before us, at least to us not within the Department. So perhaps you are right. [He says that to Minakami's assertion, and catches the boys' eyes, like a little wink-nudge.] ...But I have no reason not to believe that it is likely to be the real Enma. He is particularly ancient and powerful, but the beings that call themselves the leaders of this city are not too shabby, themselves.
[What a shaped response that is, though. Perhaps Mizumori-san knew more about the hashihime's intentions than he let on...? His gaze lingers on him a moment with that answer, and then he shakes his head.] That may be a part of it, but the crux of that intent rests on interaction with a human, correct? Perhaps because ayakashi believe that humans are easier to make deals with and deceive. In your experience, have the ayakashi you have encountered been... reasonable?
[He gestures to the city around them.] The ayakashi in this place seem very organized, don't they. What do you suppose happens to the ones that do not want to live harmoniously within the order instilled by the clan system?
