Then aren't you just an embodiment of the ominous, uncertain feelings people have towards the bird?

...that's how it sounds to me.

Uncertain, huh...? Gee, you're not half bad!

So, I answered your question.

Might I ask you a favor in return?

Of course.

There's a "sake bug" inside this gourd.

Eh? Sake bug, like the oni use?

I just happened to come across it.

Her sake tastes real great.

But! The lack of a drinking partner cuts the quality by half.

Hehe. If you insist.
