Reaching the peak of her madness, Oshige desperately wanted to find out their secret meeting place, which was referred to as the Chinese house. She posted a reward of twenty five dollars for finding it out. However, even the devils in the interior, who like things that normal people do not, would not dare to intervene in their marital quarrel and Oshige’s plan was not carried out successfully. Then Oshige visited Konagaya, a jack-of-all-trades, and asked him to negotiate with Osachi to pay rent for her new house, which Matsumoto built, out of her thousand-dollar-or-so saving, which she should have had by that time. But this did not work out as Oshige wished. She finally gave Konagaya three hundred dollars and asked him to get a thousand dollars from Osachi but he thought it was not a good idea and ended up not doing it. Oshige asked someone else to do something about Osachi so that she would not continue living in town, but it was fruitless. Osachi is still in Cranbrook.
There were other rare, fly-like* events that happened around Matsumoto but I will stop here for now as it would be foolish to list all these silly things up. In 1908 or 1909 in Cranbrook, there was a man from Kishū called Nakagawa, who worked at a western restaurant run by the Japanese. He was recognized as a straight young man and he was in fact concerned about the presence of prostitute caves, but like others he fell into the world of devil-kinds. He could not have been more spineless and sillier; he opened a western restaurant in the ruins of the fire in Fernie three or four years ago, together with Konagaya and Samejima, who killed a white woman with a gun. Nakagawa then ordered a new wife from Japan. Ill-fated, this woman met her husband, whose spirit had already rot, and she could not escape even if she wished, and was stuck in such a horrific situation. Finally, like others, she was invited to the world of prostitution business and she could not help but have her pureness tarnished by the mud. After various conflicts she cut her relationship with Nakagawa by four hundred dollars two years ago, but she is still doing her prostitution business in Nelson.
