> "To tell you the truth, I'm not 100% sure myself. It seemed a bit overkill to me, but I was not about to refuse the offer."
> "Anyway, one of Lady Yasaka's fellow Diet members, Sir Ector was with her when I first encountered them, and I offered to deliver a message from him to his son, whom I had just discovered was in True Glorian, an apparently-recent addition to Gensokyo, far to the southwest of the main Hakurei Shrine. The flight is fairly long, but hardly impossible. I suppose they lent me the chariot in order to expedite the trip, though. Perhaps that, and a combination of doing me a social favor when I had mentioned I had never been to such far-off places as Haihan, Enkyo, or Tsunkeido. While I am not aware if they were ever close allies, Lady Yasaka has known the Scarlet family for quite some time, so it is not impossible that she looks favorably upon me."

>"Never heard of a True Glorian, and I've heard of most places," says Iratsume.

>"So, you went gallivanting around in the Moriya Shrine's flying cart, outside what she told you that you could do, then came here and went to a forbidden mountain to meet with a monk no one's ever heard about, and tussled with the local youkai in the process, that about right?" says Iratsume.
