> Wait for a break in the action to ask 'em.
> Keep nibbling on some of that dried squid and look around the room.
> Inventory
>It might be a while before they're distracted enough for you to ask them, so you just look around while lightly snacking on what's left of your bag of dried squid.
>You see all sorts of gizmos, gadgets, odds-and-ends, and all sorts of stuff that spilled over into Nitori's home part of her workshop. Nitori said most kappa keep 'Home' and 'Workplace' mostly-defined despite being in the same building usually, but she never cared about keeping it clean-cut like that. Says it helps if some uppity punk tries to burglarize the place, but you just think she doesn't care.
>Hm? You see a newspaper sitting on the edge of the table that a large mechanical
thing is sitting on. You get curious and decide to read it.
Mysterious Chamber found in the Old Mines!
We interviewed the foreman of the operation, an Oni by the name of Josuke Nakano, on the findings.
"Nobody down 'ere really knows what it's for, besides the fact that there's some girl chained to a rock in there. My boys tried busting it, but neither the rock nor the chains gave any. We've even had Yuugi the Strong come down here and try! No luck, as annoyed as it makes all of us."
And as we all know, an Annoyed Oni is a Scary Oni! I quickly fled the area when I heard that, so I couldn't interview further...The Staff apologizes most sincerely.
There's a picture of the girl in question, you think she's missing some sort of feature, but you aren't sure what since it's still in black-and-white...You should ask Yukari about it.
>There's a smaller article that also catches your eye..
Gatekeeper to give Martial Arts Lessons?
Hong Meiling, renowned slacker-slash-gatekeeper of the Scarlet Devil Mansion has gone on the record as saying that she will give Martial Arts Lessons during her days off.
Apparently she isn't getting paid as much as she'd like, so she's taken up this second job. One wonders if the infamous 'Scarlet Devil' even pays her workers.
Signup Fee: 600 Yen
>Hmm...You should probably look into that! You've been feeling your natural ability to fight unarmed has been falling behind, and you think even Rumia could throw a better punch at this point. It says tomorrow's one of her days off, so you should ask Yukari about that! You have to wonder why it's so cheap though...
>Inventory? Here. There's a lot though! You wonder how you can even carry all this, even with the really deep pockets your cloak has...It doesn't take long before you start blaming Yukari. You'll probably offload some of this stuff when you get home, since you probably won't need it anymore.
