Ow! You don't have to tie me up so tight! Loosen it up a little!
What? How much looser?
Lady Satori told us not to tear off any limbs, remember? Once a birdbrain, always a birdbrain, I guess.
Um, okay, how about this?
Utsuho tightens the ropes.
Owww, geez! You're cutting into me hard!
What's your problem, anyway? Why're you being so paranoid about this?
We have to be! It would be bad if you did anything to Lady Satori!
Well, we took away your weird tool, so I doubt you can do anything anyway.
Grr...
Looks like you're ready.
Hello, Lady Satori.
Ah hah, there's the youkai boss. What's the big idea, capturing me?
As I said. I want to ask you some things.
You don't have to tie someone up to talk to them.
But fine, if you've got questions, I've got answers.
Compared to the others, your ideas are shallow at best. "I could take her if I just find the right opening," is it?
!
"Escaping comes second. First, I'll play along and figure out where my mini-hakkero is."
Sorry to disappoint you, if that was the best you could plan.
Whoa, you don't mean...?
Yes, that is precisely what I mean. I can read minds.
Isn't it neat? Lady Satori knows everything about us!
Meaning, she can see through whatever you're thinking. Even malicious vengeful spirits and starving beasts can't go against Lady Satori.
Hmph. That explains how easy it was for you to capture me. You're revealing your own tricks? You might as well be begging me to find your weakness.
Please, by all means, find one.
It's a fully upgraded Border Team spamming Accel and Zeal to wreck her in one turn.
Nrgh...
You're flustered. You don't know how to deal with this. You're hoping for your friends to come for you, but I'd give up on that if I were you.
Why? They'll totally come for me!
Sorry to disappoint, but we got reports in that they fled to the surface.
Even if anyone did stay, wouldn't they be raven food by now?
Oh yeah? That just means they went to get backup.
There's tons of powerful youkai on the surface. If they bring some of those along...
I see. I don't know much about the vampires, but Suika Ibuki and the mountain youkai are certainly strong. But they won't be able to come. The sage would not permit them to aid someone who broke the agreement.
...!
Your trust is impressive, but the gulf between the surface and the Underworld is far too vast to forgive your crime.
...
She's resigned herself. Wow, she's better behaved than I thought.
Now, allow me to ask. Why did you come to the Underworld?
No reason. I just stumbled across the entrance. I was investigating an incident before that. It's pretty bad on the surface right now.
It is?
Watch it. Lady Satori can see through flimsy excuses.
No, she seems to be telling the truth. An unending winter? It sounds like something strange is happening on the surface.
But how does that lead to fighting with Yamame?
Oh, that was just spur of the moment. We weren't here to pick a fight.
...
O-Okay, maybe a little. I admit it. But we didn't mean any harm. So, can you send me back to the surface now?
That is not permissible. You knew about the agreement and knowingly broke it for fun. I will keep you as a valuable piece of evidence to present to the sage when I speak with her.
A piece of evidence? Don't you mean a witness?
Nah, a piece of evidence is good enough to describe you. Dead people can't be witnesses.
You people are nuts. You've got a whole different perspective than we do.
If you could please take the human to the dungeons. If imprison her deep within the Deserted Hell, she'll have nowhere to run.
Yes, ma'am! I'll sign her up for a corpse voyage with complimentary deserted hell lullaby.
Come on, walk!
Damn it, I don't believe this...
