[ At Matoba's mention of that project, someone does come to mind. He does like nature and calming sceneries, so he doesn't mind that at all. There's a nod at that. ]

You really don't have to. [ It sounds like it would be an annoying exchange! There's a sigh at that, and Megumi returns to business, stepping into his bedroom. If Matoba looks through the door that's ajar, he'll note that there are two single beds pushed together, and a body pillow and poster in the likeness of a beautiful, scantily-clad blond lady. Megumi gives no explanation for any of this.

He emerges from his room with a red backpack in hand. ]

You reminded me that Yuuji has an item we can investigate as well. He was hauling several of those haniwa statues in this before he surrendered them to his leader.

[ So if the clothing was showing no connection, he's wondering briefly if the faint scent of the Haniwa statues might. Megumi places the bag on the table, clasping his hands together and summoning both his dogs. ]
