[Hanging his laundry... Such a responsible lad. Matoba just has his shiki do all the housekeeping for him.]
[Matoba gives a low chuckle to Megumi's reply, and picks up the yukata to unfold it out for the dog shiki. It was black, with striking red higanbana printed along the hems- over the upper left sleeve, there were several tears. The blood had been washed out some months ago, but traces of it- and the bullets that had torn through it- could certainly still be picked up.]
Yes. I was wearing this yukata the night our boss was assassinated. ...Or so we thought, at the time. I entered into combat with a number of armored soldiers who we now know to have been haniwa wearing stolen kappa armor, and controlled by Haniyasu-no-kami.
[He glances down, pointing out the spot in the sleeve.] I was shot by one of the hihīrokane bullets, here. Unfortunately, the bullet pierced through, so I do not have one on-hand... currently.
[Though, Hizen wasn't likely to trust him with it without him present, anyway. Oh well.] Strife-san was present when you were checking the tunnels, isn't that right? You should check his sword, as well. It's certain to still contain traces of Haniyasu's scent.
