> "It would be kind of hard to climb through a nostril, wouldn't it?"
> The two of you continue to chat like this, and Murasa eventually wanders off through a wall. After a few minutes, the door to the main hall opens, and Kogasa pokes her head out.

> "The first day of spring's not that close, though..."
> You stick out your tongue and catch a snowflake. Kogasa laughs and follows suit with her umbrella, which has a really long tongue, so she doesn't miss a single flake.
> You suggest getting lunch, and Kogasa nods. "Sounds nice."

> "Heheh, sorry.."
> You lead Kogasa towards the outskirts of the village, where the lamprey stand is. You keep an eye out for anything that looks like a schoolhouse, and soon see a building with a small playground nearby. There's no one outside on the playground right now, though..it's snowing, after all.

> "Hmmm...I see. Humans can be pretty fragile, after all."
> You continue towards the singing, and eventually the two of you reach the stand where you went last night. The lamprey girl is still there, singing as she grills lamprey. You see that white haired woman from yesterday sitting at the counter.
> As you get closer, you can hear what she's singing better.
> "Salti loyali pastialasa restina salti loyali telalia pastialie restina hoa litaria piraliu safaria iasoria ilze koliya~~" She continues singing like this for a while.

> "Easy access to food," the white haired woman says as she's handed some lamprey.
> Or maybe...~♥
> The white haired woman doesn't really react because she's too busy stuffing her face with lamprey, but the lamprey girl's voice cracks. She pauses to clear her throat, then hands you and Kogasa your lamprey.
> "Okay, enjoy, and pay up~"

> If all the currencies are the same, what's the point?
> "Oh nooo~...Don't remind me." The lamprey girl slaps down another lamprey on the grill, perhaps harder than necessary.
> "It's a mess," the white haired woman explains. "People are scrambling to figure out what currency to use. ? is supposed to be this place's main currency, but then ☼ came around; I heard it's even older than what we use. ? was introduced as a universal currency, but...well, everyone's blaming it on increased contact with the Underground youkai who were supposed to be sealed away. There are people working on it, at least." She takes another bite of lamprey. "At least, that's what I was told."

> No, it feels more like a video game currency...
> "It's not that simple," the lamprey girl says as she hands you and Kogasa your tea. "There are factors, like the humans complaining about the oni, and if the surface and underground even want to continue transactions, and the value...um...how does that work, again?"
> The white haired woman shrugs. "Beats me."
> "Anyway~! We don't know who's working on it, probably some powerful youkai or something who could negotiate easily between the two parties."

> "Maybe Miss Hijiri would know who's working that, or Miss Kamishi...rasawa?... knows. Though, if Miss Hijiri knew, then I think she would talked to Kikuri about helping..."
