Summary of Receipt
53's been thinking about Mizuki. Firstly, she's coined the Plane she's from as Nightmarch, the most likely mythological place the Japanese demons come from. Ichor and Apple Juice at the very least have definite mythological locations, while Mead is a mix of nine different places, but most likely the Nightmarch is the Hyakki Yagyo. Though, uh, do take a look at the Total Code. Then cross-reference with HHS07, plus general CaD terminology. In any case, 53 asks for '119 more minutes' to close the case.

I’m glad the big guy knows he couldn’t possibly take me down. You don’t mess with crazy. Though I will say I am wounded that he thinks I’ve been just taking a vacation in Japan. For what it’s worth, a lot of places are actually closed right now, No. 4. And the places that are open? Are kinda gross. Not gross in a fun way, but gross in a stinky otaku kind of way. However, this whole Mrs. Mizuki order got me thinking. Thinking, thinking, thinking. And what happened with Miss. Satsuki? Oh, boy, that gave me a big think. GIGABRAIN MODE ACTIVATE!
I could be right, I could be wrong, but I don’t think that’s actually Mrs. Mizuki. It’s still too soon to say for certain but I think I’m starting to get a good idea of where the Amazake doth flow. Or at least what it should look like, anyway. See, I think it’s probably one big ol’ parade. A bunch of guys marching in the night. Hey! That actually doesn’t sound too bad. “Nightmarch.” I like it! We’ll go with that for now. Why? Well, there isn’t really a direct place Amazake could otherwise flow from.
See, with Apple Juice there is a sort of vague mythical island we can tie it all up to. And Ichor, well that comes from a real enough place, but I think there’s probably another version of it that’s more in line with what’d you expect to find from our Ichor distribution center. And Mead? I think Mead is a whole mess of nine separate places. Not really a direct answer, sure, but none of these specialty drinks seem to come from as solid of a place our original seven drinks do. So, when it comes to Amazake, I think it’s probably from someplace shrouded in darkness lit up by an endless rave. And while I think Mrs. Mizuki has probably been to that rave, I thin this Mrs. Mizuki has been misidentified… Give me another 119 minutes and I can probably close this case.
