>You head to the south side of town, and approach Tenma's home. After having spent time among the narrow and tall tengu homes, this sprawling structure seems increasingly out of place. Perhaps one of the four devas used to live here? You can see a tengu guarding the front gate.

>You look around the outside of the estate. It really is quite a bit different than that of the other buildings, save for the jail. While it features some tall towers, at the corners, most of it is comparatively squat. As well, it sprawls out over the block; the surrounding buildings making it look every wider than it is. You are quite certain it resembles Yuugi's Manor in the Ancient City, from the few glimpses you've gotten of it.
>The guard returns soon. "Lord Tenma awaits you, Messenger," she says, holding one of the twin doors open for you.

>You head into the the manor. The guard quickly escorts you though the rug-laden halls; have little luck recalling the path you are being led along. At some point, you are convinced you hear a horse clopping through the halls nearby, but you can't really see it.
>Soon, you arrive at the audience hall that you visited before, which it's elegantly paneled ceilings and curtain-covered walls. On the dais at the far end of the chamber, behind a thin curtain, you can see the muscular silhouette of Lord Tenma sitting in a throne, resting his chin on his knuckles.
>"Messenger," he says, "Come forward. Look at me. How are you today? Fabulous?"

I needed information as quickly as I could get it, in the hopes of finding out who caused my home to fall. In my travels, I happened to arrive in this village while most of its people were away; I believe they may have been contending with the uninvited and belligerent Miss Kirisame at the time. With nobody around that I could see, and my need for solid information steadily growing...I...I was the one that freed Miss Shameimaru from prison."
