>"I'm not sure where they are," says Ichirin. "I know that once Yuugi came back, our work really started to pile up. But lately, I haven't heard anyone saying that they got sent here by the other deva. I think she might be taking a break."

> Leave the clinic area and head toward K's place on foot.

>You head eastward and make your way toward Vine Street. As you pick your way through the the city, you have to periodically work your way around some wreckage from a collapsed building, and pass by a smoldering fire at one point. The latter, thankfully, is being handled by a small oni with a shovel and some rubble to smother it.
>Soon, you reach Vine Street. Practically just an alley between two buildings, you're somewhat relieved to see it is not host to an angry mob this time. The tall thin oni who you met yesterday morning is still standing watch over the stairs leading down to the Deva's home. As she nods to you, you note that she has a broken nose.

> "There's a lot of details that no one here likely cares about, so I'll spare those. K can ask me later if she wants 'em. The bottom line is that there's a guy topside that hates the concept of money, and he used a faith power to exchange all of Gensokyo's money for jewelry, gathering all the money to him. He was preparing to permanently destroy it, but I shattered his mind before he could, and that unmade what he did."
