Well, whatever.

The scales, right? I honestly don't get it either. Everyone just suddenly started talking about them.

Clan Inubashiri was slow on the uptake, and we're actually still gathering information...

Suddenly?

A while ago, certain tengu started hyping up the benefits of mermaid scales and selling them for a high price.

I think I've heard about them having some sort of great power, but...

So it's safe to assume that they caused all these youkai to head for the lake.

I see...

What's Moriya Shrine doing? Aren't they usually all over this kind of thing?
