Let me explain... The reason we took Okuu was half out of charity.

Charity...?

"This mansion in the Underground has a crow with awesome power." "That crow is being badly mistreated by her master."

These rumors were making the rounds on our turf, y'see.

Now, now... That's what we heard, so we set out to rescue her. It'd also be a power-up for the Keiga, of course.

But, well... Having talked to you in person, seems like the gossip was really just that. Even "pet" is only a word in the end. I see you care about each other enough to even come all the way here.

...I see. So that's how it was.

I'll at least believe that you didn't mean any harm.
