>"Oh, that would explain it," she says. "I've never been underground before. It always seemed too dangerous, and I never had a reason to go. Though Kogasa tells me there's a wonderful casino down there..."

>You know there's apparently a really flashy one that opened up relatively recently, but you've never seen it. Apparently oni like to get dressed up and go there.

>"That's the kind of thing I hear," she says. "They tell me there's oni down there. I've never really dealt with an oni, though there used to be one whose friends would stop in every so often. They were a rather striking bunch actually. Oh, they still do come here I should say, but they don't get anything for the oni, at least not while I'm here."
