Kamiyagawa muttered to himself while keeping his emotions in check.
Work is an indispensable part of delving into Mount Oe.
Might as well see what Kaneguma wants me to do first.
Seeing "Kenjiro" remain silent, Kaneguma thought he finally managed to suppress this arrogant dog demon with his presence, so he continued to press on: "The aura in the palace is starting to stir again. Dog demon, go cleanse it."
"Palace? You mean the one to the north?"
"Where else? This was originally the mountain man's job. Since you've taken his place, naturally, it falls to you! Don't think about avoiding it!"
"Ah, this..."
Kamiyagawa opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Yet, he suddenly found this initially annoying "boss", Kaneguma, somewhat endearing.
Why didn't you mention such a task earlier? I was just worried about finding a reason to explore there!
"Afraid?"
The silent demeanor of "Kenjiro" seemed to satisfy Kaneguma-Douji greatly.
