> "It's probably best: it's a huge mess. Layla was trying to convince Sakuya to stay with her as a maid so that Sakuya could restore it."
> Wipe off hands, and stand up. "So, what's the plan, then? Where's everyone going off to?"

> Wipe off hands, and stand up. "So, what's the plan, then? Where's everyone going off to?"

> "Sakuya is only one maid..." Youmu muses.
> You wipe off your hands and stand up.  Everyone else is standing up now, too.
> "I'm going back to the surface," Reimu says.
> Youmu smoothes out her skirt.  "I'm going to keep looking around the city."

[Sect]

> "Well, I'll try looking around the city, too. Maybe someone's seen those two. Konngara, want to come with?"
> Gotta scope her out, figure out how to get her to agree to go on dates with Kikuri!

> Gotta scope her out, figure out how to get her to agree to go on dates with Kikuri!

> Konngara nods.
> Match making time yeahhh
> Reimu floats into the air.  "I'm going back to the surface."  With that, she flies away.
> Youmu bows a little.  "I will be also be heading out to search, then," she says.  She draws both swords and leaps off the roof.

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"See you round."

>Turn to Konngara.

>"So, shall we?"

>Off the roof we go!

[日巫子]

>"See you round."

>Turn to Konngara.

>"So, shall we?"

>Off the roof we go!

> Konngara nods again.
> The two of you jump off the roof.  You are now in the streets.  It's more crowded now.

> "So, do you know if Madotsuki's been seen in the city?"
> How's the ghost weather report?
> For now, just drive on through the crowds.

[日巫子]

> "So, do you know if Madotsuki's been seen in the city?"
> How's the ghost weather report?
> For now, just drive on through the crowds.

> "No."
> There are lots of ghosts as usual.  You also notice that there are more evil spirits than usual.
> You go on through the streets.  As you walk, you feel a faint breeze, and you're pushed forward a few inches.

> Kya! Grab on to Konngara for support.
> Smile sheepishly. "Sorry about that."
> Continue on, with an arm around Konngara's. "So, is there someone down here with an ear to the ground? Someone who might know a thing or two?"

[zephyredx]

>"Also, do you know where Yuugi is? We should ask her what happened between her and Youmu..."
>Are the evil spirits behaving now?

> You quickly grab onto Konngara before you can be blown away.
> "'S fine."
> You link arms with Konngara and continue on.  As you walk, you ask if there's someone who would know a thing or two about the Underground.
> "Th-there's the little Komeiji..."

>"Also, do you know where Yuugi is? We should ask her what happened between her and Youmu..."
>Are the evil spirits behaving now?

> "At this time?  Probably the bridge.  She could be anywhere in the city otherwise."
> Yes, there are just so many of them...

> _

[Sect]

> Hm... which is closer, the bridge or the palace?

[日巫子]

> Hm... which is closer, the bridge or the palace?

> The palace.

[Sect]

> "Okay, let's go see Koishi, then!"
> Lift off, and head towards the palace at a leisurely pace.
> "So, Konngara, me and Kogasa met Kikuri yesterday."

[日巫子]

> "Okay, let's go see Koishi, then!"
> Lift off, and head towards the palace at a leisurely pace.
> "So, Konngara, me and Kogasa met Kikuri yesterday."

> The two of you start flying towards the palace.
> "...How is she?"

> _

[Sect]

> "She seems to be doing fine. You know, not blowing up people and everything. Doesn't remember that fight she had with you and Parsee."
> Keep an eye on Konngara, see how she reacts to anything we say.
> "I bet she'd like a visit from you, though, since you've been her friend for a long time."

> "She remembered last time I talked to her..."
> You keep an eye on Konngara, but it's hard to tell how she's reacting.
> "Probably."

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Probably?!"

>Pout!

>"The one person who is supposed to care about her the most can only manage a probably? I thought she meant something to you."

[日巫子]

>Pout!

>"The one person who is supposed to care about her the most can only manage a probably? I thought she meant something to you."

> Konngara seems to wilt.  "She does..."

> _

[Tamashii Kanjou]

>"Then why not take the time to see her then?"

>Smile again. ^^

>"I know she'd like that; I mean, the only people she sees lately are the people she has to work for."

> "Great! When I go back up to the surface I'll talk to Miss Hijiri, and see what I can swing! Hm... I should probably check to see what kind of places would be interesting to take Kikuri... going to the hot springs might be a bit early... Ah! Maybe Murasa would know! Hm... hey, do you have an idea on what kind of gifts Kikuri would like? Wouldn't be any good to go up for the evening and not leave her a small gift to remember it by..."
> Continue prattling on about setting up the date between Kikuri and Konngara on the way to the palace.

> Continue prattling on about setting up the date between Kikuri and Konngara on the way to the palace.

> Konngara stays silent the entire time you rattle on about setting up a date.  After a while, when you're finally closer to the palace, she speaks up.
> "...What?"

> _

[Sect]

> "So, what days and times are you available?"
> Continue on to the palace.

[日巫子]

> "So, what days and times are you available?"
> Continue on to the palace.

> "Huh?"
> You continue on to the palace.  When you reach the front gates, you notice that Utsuho isn't there.

> _

[Sect]

> "For going up to see Kikuri, silly! While showing up unannounced is a little romantic, she is being punished, you know."
> Enter through the gates and head to the front door, keeping an eye out for Koishi.
> Ugh. Completely forgot about looking for that tengu! Gotta keep it in mind... Add Quest: "I've Covered Wars, Y'know": the tengu Hatate Himekaidou has gone missing, and has been seen in the Underground. Find her and send her back to the Tengu Village.

> "Romantic....?" Konngara has a look of realization.  "But she's not the one I feel that way for..."
> You enter through the gates and towards the front door.  There is no sign of Koishi.  There are lots of rabbits, though.

> ... Wait.
> "HEEEH~?! You mean you actually have someone in mind?!" Turn right back to Konngara with sparkly eyes, and grab her by her hands. "Ah~, ah~, you gotta spill! C'mon, who is she?!"
> Squee~
