Oshige’s return did not terminate the relationship between Osachi and Matsumoto so easily. Both felt urgency to solve their problem in some way, but they did not come up with a good idea immediately.
Osachi visited Matsumoto. There was no problem her visiting him but the time was bad, and what she said was bad. Osachi claimed that he must return his key to her if he was not willing to come back to her. Osachi was desperate and she did not care about Oshige’s presence. Oshige, who was senior and had enough training in her profession, was able to sense what was going on in the devildom by hearing just a few words. That was a piece of cake for her. Although it was not so rare to see two powerful people facing off against each other like that, the situation is worth paying attention to as a comical drama. Hearing Osachi’s words, Oshige interrogated Matsumoto about what purpose he was keeping the key for. This happened at 3 o’clock in the morning. Later it became a widespread rumor in the neighbourhood that a monster appeared in Matsumoto’s house. This hit him hard and this time even someone like Matsumoto was despondent for a while, which apparently was the height of piquancy.
Since Oshige’s return, Matsumoto could not keep behaving in whatever ways he wanted. Oshige was very powerful. In addition, unlike in regular times, her snort was even stronger after detecting his involvement with Osachi. Osachi had to be straight in the conversation and demanded Matsumoto solve their money-related issue. That is, she started a negotiation with him to get the money she was supposed to receive. Matsumoto, however, is not a straightforward person as to accept such a request so easily. Giving her an excuse that would sound bad to others, he proposed a new idea to move the two old houses he owned at the former cave district, give them to her in exchange for the money, and finish the deal completely. Osachi thought about it for a while, thinking that Matsumoto would not easily give in and give the money to her, and decided that it might actually be a good idea to accept his proposal, drag the two houses to the new cave district and take them over.
