I see. So that's why ya didn't tell the kappa from earlier.

I did, but she didn't believe me.

I can sense that the Mountain youkai don't feel like dealing with an oni.

Rather than get them to force themselves to attend... I feel they might act more natural if they don't know the person they're drinking with it is an oni.

Yer right. They all shrink away as soon as they hear the word "oni".

But how will you make 'em drink with one without realizin' it?

...Well.

I do have a plan, but no clue if it'll work... I just hope I'll be able to fool them.

Eh. There's more of the younger generation who've never seen an oni in the flesh.

Your worries might turn out to be unnecessary.

I sure hope so.
