Bantan Sango Case Files: The Warrior Dog/Story

==Mystery of the Black Shadow==
Arriving at Inazuma's guild branch, Katheryne greets the Traveler and Paimon, telling them that the Bantan Sango Detective Agency has put a commission in and that they have more details. Making their way to the agency, they learn from Sango and Ryuuji that many small animals have gone missing. Ryuuji takes them to a location in Kannazuka where they find some of the missing animals, along with many ninken patrolling the area. Evading the dogs, they rescue the animals. Ryuuji then takes them to another area where criminals have taken some of the animals. After defeating the criminals and rescuing the animals, he finds that there are still some missing animals but they don't have any leads to follow up on.
==Stealthy Trail==
As with before, Ryuuji continues to investigate Sango's leads while the Traveler continues to rescue animals from the ninken and criminals.
==The Truth (Just About) Comes to Light==
As with before, Ryuuji continues to investigate Sango's leads while the Traveler continues to rescue animals from the ninken and criminals. This time, Ryuuji and Sango are sure they have a concrete lead.
==Recognition==
Returning to the agency once more, Ryuuji is nowhere to be found. Sango tells them that she had sent him off to Higi Village and the two make their way there, where they find Ryuuji observing an animal cage. Ryuuji states that criminals like the Treasure Hoarders are stealing dogs to train them as treasure companions, as their attempts at doing so for weasels had failed miserably. As they free a dog from the cage, some of the Treasure Hoarders return but are driven off. A ninken then arrives, but is not aggressive and leaves while looking back, implying to both the Traveler and Ryuuji that it wants them to follow.
Arriving at the village, the ninken leads them to a paper on the ground where they try to read as much of it as possible. The paper reveals the ninken's name as Kageroumaru; the village originally provided ninken for the Shuumatsuban, although Kageroumaru was left behind as a result of not being eligible. Its owner sought someone to take care of it before they had to leave. Kageroumaru soon runs inside the house and challenges the Traveler to a fight, who ultimately defeats it. Kageroumaru barks happily, prompting Ryuuji to theorize that the Traveler is now his new owner as ninken bond with a partner who can defeat it, even though the Traveler is not a ninja. Nonetheless, they return to Sango and inform her of their discoveries, who then theorizes that Kageroumaru wanted to train the animals so they could become strong themselves.
