Based on the information Ayaka provided, everyone found the second person.
Paimon: Strange, it's said that the Tenryou Commission is directly under the Raiden Shogun's jurisdiction and manages Inazuma's public order, and they are the ones enforcing the Vision Hunt Decree.
But why would they attack their own comrades?
Qixuan: Paimon, is it possible that, apart from the highest administrator, they don't care if someone is their comrade or not? If you have a Vision, I will confiscate it.
Paimon: That's too...
Lumine: It looks like people are arguing over there, let's go take a look.
...
Ohmori: I'm telling you, are you not going to give us this month's relief food?
Yuya: Our whole family is depending on this food to survive! If you don't give us an explanation today, you're not leaving!
Kurosawa Kyounosuke: How many times do I have to say it, I don't know anything about relief food...
Ohmori: Still lying? That's life-saving food, not for you samurai to line your own pockets with!
Yuya: Can samurai do whatever they want?! I'm going to report you to the Tenryou Commission!
Lumine: What do you mean by 'relief food'?
Ohmori: Where are you from? Are you with Kurosawa?
Qixuan: We're just passing through, just curious.
Ohmori: Oh, I see. Perfect, you can help us arbitrate—this samurai, Kurosawa, is from the Shogunate Army, and the Shogunate Army distributes relief food around here; he's in charge.
Before, we just had to find him, and we could get food, but now he suddenly stopped giving it.
He must have gotten greedy and plans to swallow this batch of food himself! But without this food, we'll starve!
Yuya: No one considers our feelings at all. I used to think he was a good person, but now it seems he's just as bad as other samurai.
No wonder his Vision was even taken back; the Raiden Shogun probably doesn't want someone like him assisting her in governing the nation.
Paimon: So this is the person Ayaka mentioned, but why would Ayaka want us to help someone like this?
Qixuan: Paimon, don't judge everything by its surface. Do you think a Vision would fall into the hands of someone like they describe?
Paimon: Ah... you're right. Then let's ask this samurai what he thinks.
Kurosawa Kyounosuke: What relief food? I've never even heard of such a thing!
I don't know where these people heard some rumors, and now they want to extort me. It's ridiculous! If I had relief food to embezzle, would I be as poor as I am now?
My own family can barely make ends meet... If there's nothing else, please move aside, I have things to do.
Lumine: I heard you lost your Vision...
Kurosawa Kyounosuke: That's true. The Shogunate Army said I was dissatisfied with the Vision Hunt Decree and had been slacking off, and they also said I was unworthy of the Raiden Shogun, so they took my Vision.
Paimon: Strange, you're an enforcer of the Vision Hunt Decree, so why would you be dissatisfied with it?
Kurosawa Kyounosuke: That... to be honest, I can't quite remember.
I only remember that at that time, I seemed to do something every month, but now I don't feel like doing it at all.
Not only do I not remember, but I also vaguely feel uncomfortable inside... as if someone owes me something.
Paimon: Is it related to the relief food?
Kurosawa Kyounosuke: I did not embezzle relief food! Again, if there was relief food to take, who would want to live a hard life like I am now?
Moreover, my house was just ransacked by Treasure Hoarders... Oh, right, I was just chasing the Treasure Hoarders here when I was suddenly stopped.
If you don't believe me, go teach the Treasure Hoarders a lesson and ask them if my house really had any relief food?
Paimon: Hmm... he doesn't seem like he's lying.
Qixuan: (Is this another person whose wish was taken away?)
Paimon: Then let's go catch a Treasure Hoarder and ask.
...
Tadao: Who... who are you?! Ah!
The leader of the Treasure Hoarders was knocked to the ground by Lumine before he could even speak.
Lumine: We don't need your money. We heard you ransacked Kurosawa's house?
The Treasure Hoarders' leader seemed to remember something.
Tadao: Kurosawa? Oh, oh... I remember now.
You were sent by him? How unlucky, how truly unlucky, I shouldn't have gone to his house on the way...
Paimon: What was Kurosawa's house like? Was there a lot of food?
Tadao: Food? No, no, and the house was a mess. But... there was a very unique box. I guessed there must be treasure inside.
I originally planned to open it back at our hideout, worried about others eyeing it.
But since you've caught us, how about we use this box to redeem ourselves?
Paimon: You're showing sincerity. Hurry and open it!
The Treasure Hoarders' leader opened the box...
Tadao: Huh? This is...
Paimon: An IOU?
Lumine: And there seem to be many of them...
Qixuan: So that's how it is?
Paimon: It looks like IOUs written to Miss Aoi at the general store. Wow... he owes a lot of money.
Let's go ask at the general store.
...
Aoi: Here at Hyakunin Isshi, we have everything. What would the esteemed guest like to buy?
Or... are you looking for information?
Lumine: This IOU...
Aoi: So you're Mr. Kurosawa's friends. Are you here to repay Mr. Kurosawa's debts?
Paimon: No, no, we just want to inquire about the origin of the IOUs... Why does he owe so much money?
Aoi: Let me think...
Ah, Mr. Kurosawa regularly purchases large quantities of food from us, but he uses his own salary.
However, recently food prices have risen, and Mr. Kurosawa's salary couldn't cover that much, so he started giving us IOUs, exchanging food through credit.
Paimon: So that's how the relief food came about.
Qixuan: That's probably how he got his Vision.
Paimon: Why didn't he buy less?
Aoi: Hehe, perhaps the esteemed guest should consider that the citizens who receive this food first think about how long it will last, and then they realize it's not what they expected. Mr. Kurosawa, to consider their feelings, would rather exchange food through credit.
Paimon: They didn't thank Kurosawa; instead, they kept blaming him...
Aoi: People's attitudes often depend on their circumstances. When faced with survival, most people don't think that much.
In my opinion, if Kurosawa had disclosed the source of the relief food from the beginning, he would probably face fewer problems now...
If you're curious, why not ask Mr. Kurosawa directly?
Lumine: He doesn't remember.
Aoi: Oh... he seems to have had his Vision taken recently. That's a bit troublesome. If Mr. Kurosawa doesn't pay off his debts, he'll probably have to sell that treasured sword of his.
Paimon: A sword?
Aoi: Didn't Mr. Kurosawa tell you? He always has a very precious sword that he carries with him all year round.
I asked him about the sword's origin, and Mr. Kurosawa said it was a gift from his father and that he would never sell it, no matter the price.
I'm still quite regretful. In my opinion, everything in the world has a price, as long as the money is right... But you can also ask Mr. Kurosawa about the sword. Perhaps the answer you're looking for is on that sword.
Hehe, of course, please settle this bill first, esteemed guests.
Paimon: But we didn't buy anything!
Aoi: Hehe, after all, information is also a type of commodity, isn't it?
Due to Paimon's extravagant eating and drinking recently, Qixuan ended up paying the bill.
Paimon: Let's go find Mr. Kurosawa first and see if he can remember anything?
