>Inventory

It'd be best if we could prove our travelling with as little detouring as possible... I'm not sure if telling her "When I went back to the future, you had placed stolen seals from Reimu all over yourself..." is a bad idea or a REALLY bad idea of trying to prove it. >_>

>She takes to the air, making her way past several terraced floors, then into the wall complex itself, not bothering to land. The halls, thankfully, are not very busy, allowing Tenshi to fly without worry. Soon you reach the end of the corridor, against the wall of the palace itself, and Tenshi takes a left. She stops at first door on the right, and enters. "Just gimme a moment," she calls before shutting the door.
>True to her word, she comes out a moment later, carrying an old ceramic mask, which she holds out to you.

>"It was hers," Tenshi said. "Iku took it, and then I took it once Iku moved on. Kind of forgot I had the thing laying around, to be honest."

Ah, didn't we leave the mysterious ring with someone to be researched? I think it was Ran/Chen?

>Head back to Ran!

>"Heh, yeah sure," says Tenshi. "Good luck with things."
>You depart, and it is not a terribly long trip to Ran's home, it turns out they just live on opposite sides of the wall, and close to same elevation. Though Ran's home is its own structure, while what you assume is Tenshi's room is build into the side of the palace. Walking inside, you find that Ran is still in her spot. Euphemia has been given a chair, and the two seem to be conversing. The hakutaku looks as nervous as ever, she seems to have even jumped a little as you walked inside.
>"Ah, there you are," says Ran. "Everything wrapped up now?"

>"Yes, it went better than expected. I also recalled that I left a strange ring with you for examination?"

>"Ah yes," Ran says. "Chen! Can you tell Sakuya about her ring."
>A moment later, a gap opens, and Chen steps through. She stretches, yawns, and flicks her tails, then fishes your ring out of her pocket. "So, your ring?" she says, "It's from your era, made by one Ichiro Nadano. He's a jeweler from that era. You can see his maker's mark right here. "
>She turns the ring upside down and shows you a tiny kanji on the underside of the gem setting. It's too small to read, you would almost certainly want a jeweler's scope.
>"Now normally, I'd say this is an obvious forgery," says Chen. "It's way too new. But, in your case? That just strengthens the claim, doesn't it? So if this mysteriously appeared in your pocket, I'd ask him about it."
>She then hands the ring back. You obtain: Agate Ring.
>"Satisfied?"
