Chapter 1: Act 5: Scene 7


 * Several days passed since then.


 * Kayo visited Oyuka's hairpin shop.


 * Oyuka: "You. Even though you're known to skip work, can't you stop coming here?"


 * Oyuka was lecturing someone.


 * Eikichi: "Why're you being so cold? A childhood friend's visiting. Shouldn't you be a little more welcoming?"


 * It was the detective, Eikichi.


 * Kayo reflexively hid herself in the shadows.


 * Oyuka: "You're in the way of my business. Besides, you probably just want a convenient hiding place, right?"


 * Eikichi: "Hehe, you're right. Because no other detective or constable would think I'd hide at a hairpin shop."


 * Oyuka: "You...... have no shame at all."


 * Eikichi clarifies that the Yarera-Zusco people are hanging around everywhere looking for clues about the murderer and getting in the way of his work anyhow.


 * Oyuka: "The people from Kiji-san's place? He wants revenge on the one who slew his lover, it's an admirable story."


 * Eikichi: "Hmph. [he equates that to essentially being him having revenge on Jakoku itself; no one's sharing info]."


 * Oyuka wonders if that means it won't be long before the criminal's caught regardless.


 * Eikichi: "Maybe...... anyhow, my motivation...... maybe doesn't suit me being a detective after all......"


 * Oyuka: "Maybe so."


 * Eikichi: "There's the repudiation...... Ah, maybe I should go back home to Momogengou already......"


 * Eikichi maybe remembered something as he put a fist into his palm.


 * Eikichi: "Speaking of Momogengou...... some guys are coming here to Enbizaka."


 * Oyuka: "Who are they?"


 * Eikichi: "Don't you remember him? That strange brat at Kurookina's place?"


 * Oyuka: "Oh, him..... the blond born from the Ebony tree."


 * Eikichi: "Yep. That Kokutan-douji. He and little Inukichi are apparently travelling together punishing bad guys and calling themselves the "Oni (Demon/Ogre) Exterminators"."


 * Oyuka: "Heh......"


 * Eikichi: "? What? You're not surprised?"


 * Oyuka: "No, it's not something strange with that boy. Inukichi was a physically strong kid too."


 * Eikichi: "Well, the rumor is the head of the Lang family has joined them."


 * Oyuka: "Uh, you mean that young lady with the curly hair and the monkey mask?"


 * Eikichi: "Yep. Those three's world/social reformation has made them celebrity's now. And now Kokutan-douji's party is coming here.


 * Oyuka: "What for?"
 * Eikichi: "Came to see me from his villagedoubt it's that. I didn't have a particularly good relationship with him. Perhaps he heard about the murders happening in Enbizaka and is coming to solve them?"
 * Oyuka: "--Well, you are wasting your time in a place like this, aren't you? Give the feat to Kokutan-douji while you sit idly by!"
 * Eikichi: "...... Is that soooo....."
 * Oyuka: "Yes, you're so slovenly!! Look, I've fallen behind talking to you!"
 * Oyuka went to the back of the shop and called her husband.
 * There was no sign of Eikichi leaving the store for a while.
 * Kayo turned back and returned to her tailor shop.
