>Administer more headpats to Okuu, gotta keep the girl calm.
>"You see, I found out about a strange pillar down in the Ancient City during my stay there. Naturally, the scholar in me couldn't resist studying it. As it turns out, it was covered in a writing nobody could understand, much less read. But that's to be expected, since it was in Latin, a language that has been around since before first emperors."
>"That pillar made mention of something called Mima. Other sources I located indicated it was some manner of spirit."
>"Also, I found that many of the youkai down there are much more polite and good-natured than you and Akyu led me to believe. Even Miss Kurodani, the Tsuchigumo, was quite polite and cordial when we got to discussing a few things. I also discovered that she's a popular singer. But that's to be expected, since several ancient tomes I found down there revealed that an ancestor of hers was also an exceptionally popular singer, and was rumored to have had a spell cast to ensure her descendants would be quite talented in that regard."
(On a side note, where'd the whole Singer Extraordinaire Yamame come from anyways? I know it's a japan thing too, but how'd it get started?)
