As the various searching is going on, Doji-san asks "Was anything found at the other addresses on the list? We encountered the Oni again at the Crane consulate, but again it fled rather than face us. It seemed to be searching for something there. We observed it examining a sword. It escaped through the roof, and we followed. From up there, we saw something rather unusual." His eyes dart momentarily towards the newest member of the group.<br/><br/>"It was an ise-zumi, with what appeared to be a sword strapped to his back. We think he waited til we saw him, then left. We would not have been able to reach the ground quickly enough to intercept him. After we drove the Oni off, Doji Tsumetsu-sama was kind enough to gift us with a number of small tsangusuri."<br/><br/>He stops abruptly, then turns to Hashimoto. "The key tsangusuri." he says. "Doji-sama said that that key would open any lock. Should we use it here?"
