Crimson Oni, Blue Oni

Daisuke's grandma had arrived.

"Itto sometimes you have to say what needs to be said." Replied the Granny as she nodded at us.

"I guess, thanks Granny Oni," Replied Itto, he then began his explanation when Daisuke was out of earshot.

After Itto tells us the story of Crimson Oni and Blue Oni from his point of view, I realized perhaps Itto was not responsible for the Tenryou Commission reports.

"See I have my reasons for lying about this, I really don't want anymore innocent people caught up in this." Explains Itto honestly, he then puffed out his broad chest, "So I'm going to find the real culprit behind this!"He replies, pointing at himself.

"So that's why you took the blame, and are willing to help others," Realized Paimon.

"Yes, I'm the same as you, I just wanna avoid conflict at all costs. It's not worth it if someone innocent gets hurt." Admitted Itto, he continued, "The Crimson Oni always got along with the humans while he Blue Oni went off on their own and avoided contact with humans and the human world." Explained Itto.

"Demons, still the same." Commented Xiao, looking away.

"Hey! Liyue Adeptus Am I Right?! Show some respect to the Oni Race! We're not demons! And even if we were, we'll always be nicer and kinder than them!" Protested Itto.

"Whatever, Oni! Demon!" Hissed Xiao.

"Dam, how old is he again?!" Asked Itto, curious.

"Chun Huo! I'm over 3000 years old! You really have no respect for Adepti!" Hissed Xiao, crossing his arms and glaring at Itto.

(Chun Huo means dumb/dummy/dumbass/stupid thing/ dumb bro in Chinese)

"Oh..." Replied Itto, scratching his hair, "I'm only 21 haha." Replied Itto awkwardly.

Xiao ignored Itto's reply and continued walking behind me and holding my hand.

I turned to Itto and asked, "Any leads?"

"Well at the scene of crime my gang saw an Oni with different color horns than mine..." began Itto, "still strange because Blue Oni value their own pride and are always the ones who always are willing to make sacrifices for the future of Oni and peace with humans..." added Itto.

"So then what about the kid?" Asked Xiao, now curious.

"Daisuke? Oh he was the one I managed to save from the ronin after I sent them flying and running."  Answered Itto, shrugging.

"Where are his parents?" I asked.

"He was off playing somewhere when they showed up and ransacked his house. By the time we came back, his parents had been taken." Replied Itto.

"Why didn't you tell that to the Tenryou comission?!" I asked.

"Like they would believe me!" Exclaimed Itto, shaking his head, "and plus there's mire than just a Blue Oni, there's a dangerous group behind everything that's been going on." Explained Itto.

"That makes sense." I nodded.

We then went to talk to the few victims who had their items stolen.

Masato was one of those people in Inazuma that coule tell the difference between a Crimson Oni and Blue Oni by their horns.

He also had been robbed by the ronin.

"Did you happen to see a Blue Oni among them?" Asked Itto, looking at Masato for an answer.

"Yes! I thought he was gonna end me but instead he stopped the kidnappers and told them to let me go!" Exclaimed Masato, shocked.

"So he'll steal, but won't harm people. Hmph!" Reacts Itto, "seems he has some sort of standards." Sighed Itto, shaking his head.
