>Your Quests are:
>Demonic Suppression!

>The S Word
>You have come across a broken sword of Western origins, apparently bearing a power similar to that which took everyone's money. You're not sure how it could be fixed.

>Crowing Achievement
>Utsuho seems to have slinked off somewhere, leaving the defense of her home lacking.

>Black Bracelet

> Head to the guest/own room, hang up Tewi's dress to dry, and catch some sleep.

>The cloudy youkai nods once, and resumes floating away.
>You walk Mystia to the front doors. "See you tomorrow," she says before taking to the air.
>You then make your way to the guest room. It's clean, but otherwise empty, just a little table and a chest. You pull out the futon, a normal-sized one and definitely smaller than you're accustomed to. The sacrifices one makes. You slip out of your skirt and into bed. Unfortunately, you're not quite tired yet, so you end up spending a bit of time laying there, thoughts swimming. There has to be something among all the evidence you've gathered today...
>You walk through the streets of the Ancient City, confident and powerful. Every direction you look, you see oni, lowering their heads in respect. As they should, as is natural and proper. You wear heavy, elaborately embroidered robes, a circlet around your brow. A sword rests at your hip, its weight comforting. Examining the crowd, you note the two Devas among them, their heads lowers. This annoys you, should they not be kneeling? Ahead you see your palace. Perhaps it would be better to simply escape there for now and consider the day's next order of business?
>Do you insist that the Devas kneel, or do you move on to other business?

> Call out to the Devas.
> "Is something amiss?"

>The two Devas looks up, uncertain frowns on their faces. "Is something amiss?" you say again. The two oni seem to have been struck dumb. Amusing, but not quite satisfactory. >You give them the slightest of frowns, letting the silence spool out. Perhaps one of them will fidget satisfactorily? Then you say, "Kneel." This causes them to shift with discomfort! Oni do not kneel, as a rule. Their pride and their traditional role as enemies of the Celestial Hierarchy forbid it. Finally, Yuugi breaks, stooping down and touching her kneels to the cobblestone. The other Deva follows suit, clearly eager not to appear to be seen as insolent. You smile, it is good that they understand their place. Looking around, you see that the rest of the oni have followed their Devas' example.  You would be disappointed if they had considered themselves exempt.
>You look to the southwest. The trees are all around you, the smell of leaves and the fresh wind. The sword is in your hand, complete and whole.
>It is broken, only the hilt in your hands. You begin to walk further along,
>It is whole.
>You jolt awake, startled by a strong knock on the door. "Nue?" comes Ichirin's voice. "Are you awake? It's nine o'clock."
