Whew, I'm exhausted.
You're back.
Yup. Good to see you're safe too.
The humans seem to be approaching the shrine. Let's report back to the great tengu and prepare countermeasu-
No, let them be. I let them past.
You what...!? Explain yourself!
It was the shrine's matter in the first place, so I don't see why we need to settle it for them.
But what about our orders? Unless... you were planning on this from the start, weren't you.
There's no better source for the story than at the frontlines. Besides, this is a good chance to investigate that shrine.
...And what do you mean by that?
There are too many things I don't know about that shrine. They won't let us into the grounds, give us strange requests... I'm sure the entire mountain has similar doubts.
So you plan to let those humans force open the gates.
Something like that. I think they'll set off something interesting. And the best part is that even if they don't, it's no loss on my part.
I think I understand now... but you should be more cautious about betraying the Moriya shrine.
I have a feeling that from a long term perspective, both sides will gain from this. Though if that happens, I wonder what Lady Kochiya will do?
...I'm curious too. Though now that you've acted on your own like this, I'll have to keep a closer eye on you crow tengu.
Hm?
It's nothing. If that's all, I'll go wait for the great tengu's next instructions. Please excuse me.
Momiji leaves.
...Now then, by now they should have reached Moriya shrine. Do your best, for Youkai Mountain's sake.
