"Then is Mount Oe now choosing expansion in Tokoyo because of past events?"
Hoshiguma nodded, then shook her head:
"Pretty much. The Ghost Tribe cannot be without power... Anyway, that's what Kaneguma believes. The two worlds of humans and ghosts, although it's unclear why they've been separated, no one can guarantee that in the future, the two worlds won't completely merge again. If that really happens, humans and ghosts will inevitably go to war again. Not for anything else, just because Mount Oe is right here."
"So Mount Oe needs power. Kaneguma thinks that if we can rule over all of Tokoyo, gather the scattered power of the ghosts, then we can use force to defeat the humans of the other world."
"I can't refute him. Sometimes... I think he's actually right."
Kamiya was noncommittal about Hoshiguma's words.
In fact, he was well aware that the exorcism power of modern human society was far less formidable than during the Heian Period when humans and ghosts coexisted.
