Truth is, there's an epidemic makin' the rounds right now.

Smallpox, they call it.

They're having trouble 'cuz they don't know where it came from. So, well... you guys just came to mind.

Oh.

Smallpox. Hmm, I see.

Yeah.

In that case, it makes sense that you'd suspect us.

We've got a pretty bad track record.

Although, I mean, even if it weren't us

blaming it on us would be pretty convenient anyway.

Easy to explain to the Villagers.

By the Villagers I mean...

Well. That's what we youkai exist for, am I right?

If anything, I'm happy it wasn't some problem with our work.

Really.
