>You brace. Nothing happens, leaving you feeling mighty foolish.

> Consider that things have gone really weird since the last time this voice was around.
> Examine Youmu's short blade. Try to confirm the rumours that it doesn't harm tissue but instead does things on a more metaphysical level by nicking our finger on the blade.
> Pluck a bee out of the air, examine.

>They really have.
>You examine Youmu's Short Blade.
>This is a short wakazashi sword. Its craftsmanship is obviously of superb quality, and it could be easily enchanted into an artifact of great might. However, instead a kind of spiritual power resides within it. You test it against your pinky, and find that it can apparently cut physical things just fine. You do feel slightly less muddled in your thoughts, though.
>You float toward the swarm, and reach out to snatch a bee. You feel the thing wriggle in your palm. Setting Youmu's Short Blade aside, you examine it. It looks like a normal honey bee in all physical aspects. It wriggles and tries to get out of your grasp, before stinging you in the finger, giving you enough of a shock to make you reflexively let it go. It flies away to rejoin the swarm.

>Attempt to impress the bees by singing Banson's Aria.

>In a fit of desperate inspiration, you try singing at the bees. They don't seem to pay you any mind. Which is just as well, you really don't have the vocals to pull that kind of song off, anyways.
>Jeff, however, has a good laugh. "Hey, have you had any ideas about Rumia, maybe?" he says.

>You return to the alleyway, and find that Rumia is presently covering her face with her arms, probably in response to what you did beforehand. She is starting to peek over her arm to see if things are clear, though.
>You have a little trouble removing Rumia's Ribbon, it seems to be stuck on a knot of hair. But with a little work, you are able to pull it free.

Perhaps we can negotiate a discount so he'll sell it to us at cost? Either that or somehow force Marisa to give the money back to him so we can get the book... Ha, yeah right.

>Before the bees can return to Rumia, you return to Suwako's pond.
