[His eye falls to one of Ryouma's swords. He has his own questions about that, Ryouma, but he'll keep it for a non-business atmosphere- still, do you expect him not to tease a little?]
... The Black Market, I believe, was used both to supply the creation and perhaps some distribution of the haniwa, last month. I still don't know the full nature of their magic, but I suspect that because the ground we stand on is a river delta, Haniyasu-no-kami was able to take domain over it, populating them where they liked.
I have my interest in those routes, Sakamoto-san, but that's a more personal matter. What I want is to get my hands on anything with a whiff of magic that comes through that trade. There is going to be another attack- another hint- something with a trace of their magic on it again. I want my hands on it before it makes it into the city proper.
[Part of this is tracking them down. The other part is keeping the city safe. Gods know almost no one in this city gave the haniwa the due breadth they should have.]
[Under his breath, he adds a mutter.]
.......Honestly, have none of you ever handled cursed objects before? People were storing them in their homes. Of course Haniyasu-no-kami was able to take over with ease. Perhaps I should be teaching some manner of knowledge and self-defense, as well.
