>"What's starting, Akyu?"

> Akyuu scoots under the shrine roof. "The rain."

>"Sound like it's going to be a nasty one. Think you're going to need to stay the night here?"

> "I-is that okay?" Akyuu asks. "I wouldn't be bothering you, would I?"
> As she speaks, droplets of rain start to pitter-patter on the cobblestone.

> You take shelter as the rain starts to pour. It starts slowly, and then picks up speed until the world is hidden by a curtain of little watery bullets. At least, that's what they look like to you. Nature's danmaku. Few spellcards can properly mimic its finesse and power.
> Akyuu giggles. "Fine by me."

> You remember that you haven't even offered tea yet. You've got some stashed away in the kitchen, and even more in the basement.
> Akyuu nods and heads inside to the living room.
> You'll have to go to the kitchen to make tea. Hopefully Suika won't mind a minor disruption in her cooking.

> It's not like Suika owns the place.
> You make a beeline for the kitchen. You immediately smell something warm and savory, broiling away in a pot on the stove. Suika is standing on tip-toe with a cutting board, pushing chopped vegetables into the pot. She's even got rice steaming. It's a wonder she's able to move around the tiny kitchen with her gourd still on her hip and wrapped in chains.
> Suika is singing to herself and doesn't seem to notice you. The door leading out back is open, probably to let off the steam. You catch a glimpse of the outside, but you can barely see past the porch.

> You kind of doubt it. You probably should have prepared better.
> You busy yourself by reaching over Suika to put a kettle on one of the free spots on the stove. She interjects with a "hey! watch it!" but you're already at the cabinets, picking out cups and tea strainers.
> Suika is still at the stove by the time the kettle is whistling. You fill the cups with hot water and let the tea leaves brew. All you have to do now is wait for it to steep, but Suika is clearly disgruntled by you shoving past her while she's cooking.
> "Gimme a lil' heads up before you do that," she says to you as she takes the rice off the stove.

> "I got the ones around the edge of the house." Suika rocks back and forth on her heels. "But I left that one open 'cause it was getting too steamy in here. The little winglies bailed as soon as they heard the first thunder."

> "Thanks." Suika grins.
> You take the tea into the living room. Akyuu looks quite happy at this development.
> You don't see the faeries in the vicinity. They're either in the shrine, or they went back to their tree house.

> Akyuu shrugs. "Nothing that'll disturb the crops or the animals."
> She sips her tea. "Some tengu flew over yesterday and dropped fliers. They say some shrines on the mountain are looking to hire shrine maidens, but there's no way Kamishirasawa-sensei would let any of us live somewhere that dangerous. Do you know anything about this?"

> Not wanting Akyuu to wait any longer, you head into the kitchen and help Suika carry out the food. She's made a large bowl of rice, which you carry, but the main dish is a pot of boar stew with chopped vegetables. Akyuu looks positively delighted at the sight of the food being set on the table. If you're not careful, she might try to eat it before Suika even brings out the dishes and silverware.

> "Oh! I saw the purple-haired rabbit from Eientei while I was down there."
> "Really? That was today? I thought Eientei's rabbits only sold medicine on Saturday."
> "She was just out shopping," Suika says.
> Akyuu refills her plate. "Oh. Well, Hakurei-san, to answer your question, we've all been doing well."
