> "Kaay..."
> Follow Keine.
> You follow Keine through the fields, passing by people working in the fields who spare little more than a glance. Keine continues on into the village, walking at a brisk pace until you've reached the schoolhouse again. Kouyoshi glances here and there, as if looking to see if she's being watched. Once the three of you are inside the schoolhouse, her ears and tail reappear.
> Keine, rather than heading upstairs, instead walks over to one of the sliding doors on the first floor, opening it up to reveal a small classroom. There are rows of low tables here, with cushions lined up neatly behind them. There are windows looking out into the backyard where you, Kouyoshi, and Mokou did laundry, and cubby holes at the back of the classroom and lined up against the walls. At the front of the classroom, near the door, is a wide chalkboard taking up a good portion of the wall it hangs on. Above it are rows of faded pieces of paper with calligraphy painted onto them. In front of that is a podium.
> "Just hang tight for a moment," Keine says. She is now rummaging through one of the cubby holes until she comes out with a small wicker basket. "Ah. Here we go. I'll be right back."
> She then leaves the classroom.
