>Have we met with the bird youkai?
>If not, ask about them, for future visitings.
You haven't, despite recently meeting with Mystia again. You ask Daiyousei about them. She has to frown a bit.
"Well... The Bird Youkai aren't exactly hostile, but mostly because they're not organized. They simply are concentrated and have a claim to their forest. By nature, all Bird Youkai are pretty different.
As far as strength goes, their power comes in skill, unlike the bug youkai. They're an entire race of youkai that retained the ability to fly. Its difficult to properly counterattack if you can't fly. Individually, since they broke off from the Tengu, I'd say they're a fairly weak group. Only several handfulls are worth more than an average youkai, and distinctively, there are only 5 that have any true power to their name."
