> "Not really, but do you need something delivered?"
> She shakes head.  "I don't, you really got nothing else?"

>Do we have any blood on us? That shit needs to come off right now before we start crying or something...
> Your forearms are pretty spotted with her blood from wrapping the bandage.  Luckily your shirt stayed clean.
> You ask her about washing the blood off.  "Trough out back has water.  Don't worry about leaving the blood, it's mine anyway and I still gotta wash in it later."
> You head out back.  In addition to a large wooden trough full of water, there are buckets and barrels of all sizes, most containing water.  A scrub brush hangs on a nail on the side of the trough, next to a stocking containing a bar of soap. 
> You dunk your hands in the water, using the soap and the brush to clean up, nearly rubbing your hands raw. 

>Shudder with nerves.
>Just in case our job sends us back, ask if Kaguya was the exception or the rule in terms of the overall psychosis of Eientei.
>Try not to seem too rattled when asking.
> As you clean, you find yourself thinking about your day thus far.
> You finally let your nerves break and let out a tremendous shudder, nearly falling into the trough.
> You call this question out to Mokou, but receive no answer.  You expect Kaguya to be the exception to the Eientei norm, noting that the other rabbits cleared out once she started screaming, and she was the only one attacking Mokou.
> You think that shudder helped you calm down.
> You also think about your deliveries.  You still need to give the package to Satori in the Ancient City, and find Lunasa Prismriver and give her the strings Nitori made in exchange for a gift from Nitori.  Luckily, Mima offered to take you to the Poltergeist Mansion.
> You take this opportunity to clean the blood from your knife as well.  Even if she didn't actually die, your knife was used to kill someone.  It's a sobering thought.
> You look around for a towel but don't find one.  Shaking the water from your arms, you return into Mokou's house.

>We ain't afraid of no crazy moon princess!
>By the time we come back we'll have a knife and crazy magic loli powers
> Of course not, it was a combination of things that terrified you about that fight.
> Back where?  Also, you've had a knife the entire time.
> Well, you still need to ask about those.  You have quite a few leads, so you should probably look into those.
> Mokou turns your way with a start, but relaxes after recognizing you.  Unsurprisingly, she's still shirtless, but the blood seems to be spreading much slower already.  "Oh sorry, not used to other people coming in.  Anything else you need?"

>"Uh...a new knife. One that's not been used on, um, people... You can have this one, I don't want it anymore."
> "Can't exactly help you with the knife thing.  Plus, I don't need it anyway.  I think Keine once mentioned some vampire maid that uses knives.  She'd probably be a better bet to talk knives with."
> "Anyway, about time for you to head out, got things to do y'know?  You did help me out today though, and I don't like being in debt to people, so take this."
> Mokou rifles through the shelf of shirts until she finds a small box.  She pulls something out and hands it to you.
> "Ain't much, but people'll know what it is.  Also charmed to resist fire, neat huh?"
> You obtain MOKOU'S RIBBON.
> Mokou escorts you out the front door.  "Later kid," and she shuts the door.
> Reversing Keine's directions, you follow the path out of the Bamboo Forest.
> You are at the edge of the Bamboo Forest.  Behind you the bamboos sways gently in the breeze, while before you lies the Human Village, slowly reaching its post-tea peak of activity.

>Equip Mokou's Ribbon to increase Fire Resistance.
>Head North to the Former Hell
> You tie Mokou's ribbon around your upper left arm.  It looks a little out-of-place on you, and you doubt you'll be facing any fire today, but Mokou's shirt was also gray, so maybe this'll work?
> You head North.  Luckily, you're far enough East that you don't have to trek back through the forest of magic.  Instead, lush fields and rolling green hills spread out before you.  An expansive azure sky dotted with clouds sits above you, while the bright sun beats down just enough warmth so as to be pleasant.  In short, a beautiful day.  It's almost enough to let you forget about what transpired back at Eientei.  Although, there's no way you could forget that, is there?

>If Mokou doesn't object, leave the knife with her. Because who wants to carry around something with that kinda of bad karma?
> A little late for that now.  Besides, she's not the first person to mention the maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, so you are curious about her.
> Farther East, the sky becomes dark and oppressive as the hills give way to cliffs and rocky outcrops.  Turning around, you notice that it's been darker on that side for quite a while, but the heavy atmosphere finally made you notice.  Being lost in thought tends to makes you forget things.

>Take the advice you received earlier and look for the underground.
> No, you decide to ignore the darkness over there, it's a beautiful day dammit and you're going to enjoy it.  Beautiful day!
> You continue to make your way North, the cliffs follow you, but the Eastern sky is gradually becoming lighter.
> You are about to cut over in a Northeastern direction when you're startled by someone landing in front of you.  Luckily the flashbulb and her speech give her away.
> "Hey you're that delivery man I went to your office and asked to see your list but they told me that I wasn't able to see it are you sure I can't just see your's hey where are you going anyway do you think I could follow you there may be a big scoop or maybe you're the big scoop???"
> The flashbulb pops a few more times before Aya suddenly moves to change her film.

Yakitori is grilled chicken, hence why Mystia also hates it.  Takoyaki are Octopus

>Not this. We don't need Mokou wanting to set us on fire.
>"My hands are tied, then."
> While you think Mokou could easily dispatch Aya, she is still on the mend.  Best to leave her alone, you owe her that much.
> Aya snaps her camera shut and snaps a few more pictures of you.
> "Oh but I do so love lists and that list must be so wonderful because it has my name on it oh I just have to see who else is on that hey where are you going?!?!"
> You decide to start heading towards the underground.  If you have to listen to her, better to be making some kind of progress.
> "Oh yeah I gave you a package to give to Satori have you given it to her yet or is that where you're going do you know where she is know where you're going bet you wonder what the package is don't you don't you dont ya dont ya dontdyadontdyadontya!??!?!"
> You're not sure you can take much more of this, how in the world does Momiji put up with it?

>Stare at her like L from Death Note
> You continue walking at an angle towards the cliffs.  Unfortunately, you're really not sure what you should be looking for.
> "Of course I am you could probably think of me as the best after all I make everyone happy when I put them on the front page of my newspaper it's actually a coveted place to be and everyone loves it!!!"

> Aya looks left and then right, then examines all around her before sighing.
> "Yeah, I suppose.  Sorry about that, apparently I have a reputation to uphold, and that seems to be part of it.  Everyone seems to want Aya the Spaz, even though they claim to hate it.  What's a girl to do about it?  Even if they hate it, they still buy the paper.  Girl's gotta eat, y'know?"
> "I figured as much.  You're heading in the right direction, but do you know exactly where you're going?  Also, sorry for giving you the package and then being, y'know, here.  Things just happened to work out that way: I was looking for something, saw you out here all alone and decided to grab some shots."
> "Yeah yeah, lists don't sell papers though, photos do.  Forget I said anything about it."
> "Hey, what did you say to Momiji anyway today?  I stopped by the village earlier and she seemed really odd."

>"What was she like?"
> "Giddy.  She wasn't her usual hard-ass self.  She also kept talking about how she had so much more to learn, but she was happy to do it."  Aya takes a cigarette from a semi-crushed pack in her blouse.  "I don't know what you said to her, but it made a big impression.  You got a light?"
> You shake your head. 
> "Damn.  Think I got one though."  She digs a match from her pocket and strikes it on her geta.

> "Momiji? I just had a conversation with her, and made her consider being a bit nicer."
> "Just a conversation?  You think you're a smooth talker then."
> You had no idea tengu smoked, but Aya seems used to it.  It makes her look more haggard though.  Her skin still appears ageless, but it makes her eyes seem harder set.  You suppose hundreds of years of stress would do that to someone.
> Aya attempts to blow a smoke ring, never succeeding.

>"She say anything about me?"
> "Plenty, praised you for opening her eyes and showing her new things and helping her and so on and so on.  You made quite the impression on her.  What happened to her sleeves anyway?"

> "I don't specificly remember, but should could have mentioned something. If she did mention something, it was probly nice. Actually, I remember her complimenting your speed and saying that even if you sound annoying, your actually nice."

> We lie to keep Aya happy. That and I think Momiji did compliment Aya's speed.
> You aren't sure if it's warranted, but you say something anyway.
> "She's the only one that thinks that.  She's my official unofficial assistant, also the only youkai that sees me like this.  I am the fastest though, that's not up for debate anymore."

>Ponder for a moment. "So what happens if you don't put up the hyper act? Do people get mad?"
> Chen will probably talk about you as well when she gets a chance.  You feel pretty good about it though.
> "That's it?  For Chen of all people?  Hm, never would have thought that was worth her sleeves.  She's got some skinny arms though, don't she?  Lugs around that giant sword and shield, still has arms like a pencil.  What a weird girl."
> "I wouldn't say mad, mad is your panties on the front page.  Mad is a flashbulb waking you up in the middle of the night.  I'd say they'd be more confused. 'Oh, how can anyone as cruel as Aya speak like a normal person?'  Feh, there's no pleasing people these days.  It's just easier to keep the act up because then I'll have a scapegoat."
> She finishes her cigarette and flicks the butt to the ground.  "Ah dammit."  She retrieves and palms it after stubbing it on her geta.  "Can't be throwing things on the ground 'round these hills."

> "Two reasons: Yuka and Medicine.  Medicine's psycho who wants to kill all humans with poison lilies.  Pretty sure she lives on a hill around here.  Just know this: if you see a youkai walking around with a doll and it isn't Alice, run.  Not even kidding.  Yuka's also a psycho, but she's just overly protective of flowers and plants and such.  Her aim isn't to kill humans, but it's still better to avoid her.  She's got green hair and an umbrella, be careful if you see her."

> "Large pits.  If you manage to fall in them you probably deserved it.  No people-eating youkai really, just lots and lots of oni.  Just don't piss them off and you'll be fine.  On the way in, watch for spiders and falling buckets, but in the Ancient City it's just oni.  Satori lives in the palace, Earth Spirits I believe.  You'll be fine though."
> She gestures towards Mokou's ribbon.  "Not really necessary down there, unless you're lighting yourself on fire.  Please don't, I hate exploiting the dead."
