Tsuchigumo passed by a stamp shop they often visited before, which had now turned into a bizarre store selling mushroom cloth and mushroom juice.
The shifty-looking owner reminded Tsuchigumo of some eerie legends about the Ratman, reaffirming that this place was Aizu City, where strange and dark events always happened.
But overall, it was still peaceful, orderly, and calm...
"I thought Aizu City's Underground City would be forgotten, turned into some abandoned area and rat's nest, but it's become so clean," Tsuchigumo muttered.
