Nha!?
Where is this?
Who am I?
I'm Yamame.
A Theory of Conspiracy 3
You shrank, Utsuho.
I had the power of Yatagarasu taken away. The enemy is Suwako Moriya of the Moriya Shrine.
What about Orin?
They took her. I don't know why.
Satori-sama...what were you doing during such an emergency?
There was a tengu with some spine. I had my hands full with her.
What about Koishi-sama?
Out somewhere.
Muu....
Tengu are strong, but I don't think they were an enemy the entire Palace couldn't stave off.
We couldn't. That's the reality.
Hm?
[appears]
We must rescue Orin. Satori-sama, please give me a hand!
The Moriya Shrine probably plans to get rid of Orin illegally.
What!?
I know the place: the Underground Geyser Center. There's a facility there that processes waste.
What does "process" mean?
The processing facility is connected to the outside world.
A dustshoot to an arbitrary location.
The possible region has a radius of 15,000 km. Returning on one's own is next to impossible.
So that's what Sanae Kochiya was going to do to me.
I feel like I've met you somewhere.
You're sending help right away, aren't you?
That's right, please send help right away, Satori-sama!
No.
Whaat!? Why not!?
The Palace's animals are exhausted at the moment.
Tengu might come mount another attack.
We can't spend precious forces.
Are you going to abandon Orin?
As the leader of the cats, Orin is in a position of responsibility. Being a sacrifice is responsibility, too. Do you understand?
Why would I understand, you idiot!?
I'm disappointed, Satori-sama!
For someone who raided here less than a day ago, you've made yourself quite at home.
I don't understand the situation, but it looks like you helped me out. I'm not one to find an excuse to fight, either.
How carefree. You think so?
Was that girl Utsuho Reiuji? Maybe.
*Flashback The Moriya Shrine is (skipped) researching nuclear fusion energy. The key is the hell raven of the Palace of the Earth Spirits, Utsuho Reiuji.
The Moriyas might be trying to do something with her.
....... Your name is Yamame Kurodani. You were hired by the Moriya Shrine.
I'm a satori. I read mind.
How useful.
So you know I've been abandoned by Moriya.
And that you're trying to get in touch with Kisume-san, too.
I'm hoping you all haven't beaten her up....
She's not here anymore.
Underground Geyser Center.
What are you doing!? Let me go! They'll get rid of Kisume!
I helped you, an enemy.
Don't you owe me?
They'll get rid of Kisume. She knows that Minoriko Aki's kidnapping was Moriya's conspiracy!
Don't, you, owe me?
You leave Utsuho alone, and stop me!?
She owes you?
I'm the one who saved Kurodani.
Oh, Minoriko's Oneechan! It's Shizuha.
Yamame Kurodani is on Moriya's side. Moriya and the Palace are now enemies. I'd naturally attack her.
But, I kindly sheltered her, along with you. Kurodani may as well owe her life to me.
Sophistry.
Since you can read her mind, you know from the start that Yamame Kurodani now has no reason to oppose the Palace of the Earth Spirits.
You therefore have no particular reason to beat her up.
Retribution would be another thing altogether.
But to a _lowly sacrificial pawn_ who's already been cut?
Take revenge?
The head of the Palace of the Earth Spirits?
It's also a fact that your cat kidnapped Minoriko.
All together, I'd call it even.
Can I correct myself?
Go ahead.
Oh
I'll guarantee you two's safety from Moriya's power. In return, I'd like your help.
Let's join hands.
Let's join hands. Let me down.
Inside the Underground Geyser Center
A lot happened between us, but let's let bygones be bygones and be friendly.
And let's get out of here quick and never speak to each other again.
Huh? She's not there.
I'm down.
How's it feel?
Disgusting.
But it's cute... What is this?
Through that eye, I can share your vision.
Under my command, infiltrate the Underground Geyser Center and rescue Rin Kaenbyou.
Oh, and that Kisume thing.
Kaenbyou? You said you weren't going to help her.
That was a figure of speech. What kind of figure of speech is that?
Are you, you know, the kind of boss who keeps changing what she says?
The Underground Center is more dangerous than you imagine. It's a heavy burden for my girls.
I didn't want to leave it to Utsuho, in that condition...she's stupid, too.
So I couldn't ask anyone except you.
I'm trusting your ability.
You could only ask me? Liar. You must have loads of connections as the head of the Palace. I won't let you say that you don't have friends.
I'll do this alone. Take care of Rin Kaenbyou yourself.
I'll tell you
what kind of a place the Undeground Geyser Center is.
This conversation's going nowhere
Are my videos too short!?
