[Matoba snorts softly into his tea.] Do you think they're bored, over there? [He sips slowly. The weapon trade was their thing, and for the time being it was fine to let those oni be to amass firepower and stew over thoughts of killing in the Wastelands. If they were going to ally themselves with them, it would be better to let them handle what they wished to, and scavenge in their warpath.]
I see... That's a little worrying. I suppose they must have covered their tracks well. [He'd had his eye on a few of the things they'd been bringing into the city to peddle. But most of all, the thing which he'd had his eye on was something which had become very scarce, back when they hadn't quite realized its value.]
Yuri-san, do you recall those strange casing-less bullets that were used to target the boss? This was quite some time ago, but a few bullets remain in the hands of Lost Souls. According to my connections in the Shuten clan, it was identified as a metal called "hihi'irogane". It gleams brilliantly like freshly spilled blood, but has properties like steel...
On the surface. To those who can sense magic, it is far deeper than that.
