No.. Not that I have ever managed to scrounge up. [Matoba glances towards his shiki.] I sent these ones down there to nose around and look for anything useful amongst all the bickering Shuten and Tamamo were up to, but they returned nothing of note besides the same inaccessible areas.
...You know, speaking of the kappa. I managed to get a map from them last week, but I couldn't quite tell. I wondered if the containment level of the Kaigou-no-Bou and that segment of the Underground intersected in any way. If both were built around the same time, don't you think their architects might have had some secrets?
[Just who were the architects of this city? That was its own mystery, and information on the history of this place was, unsurprisingly, hard to come by. It was ancient in its own way, in a way even most ayakashi here were not.]
[It probably dated back to before the Great Three even roamed the mortal realm.]
... I suppose the Enma is the only one old enough to give us any answers to that. [He gives a sly smile.] But I don't like our chances of getting him to talk. Voluntarily.
[Not that he would suggest anything untoward. Dusting off his arrows, he knocks one again.] ...If you had to guess, what do you suppose was in this realm before the Kaigou-no-Bou was established? Let us assume that all is as we have been told, and this is truly the Land of the Dead. [Because even that has been questioned enough by Lost Souls; bear with him.]
