> Make our way down into the kappa village, searching for any large gatherings. If there is such a large group of people, fly over toward it. If not, make our way to Nitori's warehouse.

>You descend down to the kappa village. Looking around, you see there is quite a bit of activity in the streets and the front grounds of the university, but no especially large gatherings of kappa. Glancing in the direction of Nitori's warehouse, it seems that there are lights in the windows.

>You approach the small warehouse door off to the side and knock on it. After a few moments, it opens a bit, and the somewhat familiar kappa pokes her head out. "Oh, hey there," she says.

>"Huh," says Nitori. "I...don't actually know the best way to spread that kind of news. I mean, you'd want better than a rumor. And I don't know if just making a big announcement at the university or the market or something would do it. Maybe get one of the tengu to report it? Newspapers are pretty popular around here. Aya has some connection with that temple you hang out at, right? Get her to do it."

>You leave the kappa village, and make your way back to the Hakurei shrine through the dark and rainy night.
>Reaching the woods where the shrine lies, you are easy able to find it from the air, and make a flyover to see if anyone else is there. You note two humanoid figures near the stairs.

>You swoop down, and see Suika is reclining on the shrine's front steps, seemingly oblivious to the rain. You note Reimu is lying near her, under the porch itself, with a sake dish in hand. Her clothes are ripped and she seems to have some wounds, signs of hard danmaku battles. As well you notice a faerie buzzing over Reimu's head, and catch sight of a large tortoise shell in the front grounds, its occupant withdrawn inside.

>You swoop down on the shrine. "Oy!" says Suika, "I told y' she'd back if y' stayed around a might bit!"
>Reimu groans, not bothering to sit up despite you swooping out of the darkness. "Oh good," she says, "You saved me the trouble of finding you."
>"What is wrong with your wings?!" the faerie cries, stopping in mid-air and pointing toward your tendril wings.
