Returning home, Kamiyagawa went straight to the second floor with the Yokai Empress.
There had never been any strange tales about the second-floor bedroom, and Akaji would regularly enter to clean, so the room was clean and tidy.
Since the Bunshu Yohime was born, Kamiyagawa had designated this room for her use.
However, when resting, the Yokai Empress still preferred to stay inside the Bunshu.
Upon entering the room, Kamiya casually closed the door, then took out a small scroll and shook it in his hand.
"What is this?"
"[Painted Skin], an artifact that can conceal the aura of strange tales emanating from you. The work assigned to you is somewhat special, so this artifact will come in handy. Try infusing your power into the scroll, and you should be able to use it."
Bunshu Yohime did as instructed.
The small scroll unraveled with a whirring sound, the images within flapping up and down.
