Okay. Smoku. I got it.

We need to find Yukari and convince her to help us steal Music for Supermarkets

>You and Rook head towards the lake.
>Once you arrive, you can easily see a square, metal box sitting on the shore next to the lake.
>Rook walks up to it and taps it with his foot.
>"I got it this far, but it got too difficult for me to do it alone."

>"Good work. How'd you get it this far? How heavy is it?"
>Contemplate easy places to grab it, for lifting purposes.

>"It was in a different position when I first found it, so it was easier to carry. But I dropped it here and I haevn't been able to pick it back up again."
>A good way to grab it would be to tilt it a bit and use both hands to lift it up so Rook can get the other side.

>"Alright. I'm gonna tilt it a bit, then lift. You get over to the other side, and we'll carry it away from the lake a bit, then figure out what to do with it next."

>You start to tilt the safe when an arm reaches out of the lake and grabs Rook around his ankle.
>"Wha-"
>The hand forcibly pulls him, causing him to fall on his stomach before being dragged into the lake.

>By the time you drop the box, Rook is already completely submerged, along with the arm.
>Mumbai springs into action and jumps into the lake.

>The bubble just sits there... and then pops.
>The water somewhat clear, and you see two large figures and a small one quickly thrashing around underneath. >One of the large figures has something in its hand and does something to the little one that causes it to stop moving.

>You easily assume the small one is Mumbai. And you also assume the person connected to the arm is the one who is carrying the thing that stopped Mumbai. And by reasoning, you can know which one is Rook.
>They seem to be fairly deep, five to eightish feet maybe?

>Get ready to leap back from grabbing attempts.

>You get ready to leap back, but the figure doesn't make at grab at you.
>Slowly, the figure walks forward, poking its head out of the lake.
>The figure is a girl, with blue hair and a round, wide-rimmed black hat with white lace around the edge. The hat itself seems to be a little tattered. Her hair has two twintails that come together at a band, split apart for a short distance, like an oval, then come back together again at another band before ending in a ponytail.
>What's really strange is how she isn't wet at all.

>"I'm a kappa. And ok," the kappa says in the most deadpan voice you could ever imagine.
>The head dips back down underwater and a few seconds later Rook flies out of the water onto the shore right next to you. You notice that his ankles and wrists are tied together with rope.
>Rook does some heavy gasping as he starts to get accustomed to not drowning.
>The head pops back out of the lake. "There you go," she says in the deadpan voice.
