562 Spoils of Battle: Masks and Skeletons

The fierce battle within the Thirty-Six Hall had ended; the incident involving Kousei-ō and Taira no Masakado had finally come to a close.

Although there were still some unresolved questions in this case.

For example, back at Xiangshan, who was the one that left behind the reminder message for the Countermeasures Office.

But judging from the results, everything written on that note was completely true; whoever left that information genuinely wanted to assist the Countermeasures Office.

Given this, Kamiyagawa felt it was acceptable not to seek that person out.

Anyway, their actions clearly suggested a desire for anonymity, not to reveal their identity. Since they'd already accepted this person's help, going along tacitly with their wishes wasn't a problem.

However, the Countermeasures Office would probably continue to investigate, though likely wouldn't allocate too many people to it.

They were already short-staffed to begin with.
