>Wasn't Byakuren searching for Nue with Nazrin?
>What would have Ran uncomfortable enough for her not to be able to hide it from Chen?
>"Nazrin isn't around? Hmm."
>Satori's going to flip out on us big-time when this is over. Can't be as bad as the Yama though.
>Maybe the search for Nue isn't going too well.
>We do have access to Nue's former room; any hope of finding something of hers for a tracking spell?
>But then Byakuren's a magician as well, she should have tried that......
>Don't supose there's much hope of still getting a scent from her after so long?
>"When you see Byakuren - that's the lady with gradient hair - again, can you ask her if she's willing to visit Eientei tomorrow at noon? Tell her that I need her help to wake up Koishi - she's the sleeping white-haired Satori - like when I woke them up."
>What time is it by the way? If we can't tell ask Chen.
>She was.
>You aren't sure.
>"The rat? She's around."
>Chen has a sour expression on her face when referring to Nazrin.
>You sure did it this time...
>It's certainly a possibility.
>You did before. Assuming that the temple is still there, you should still be able to access Nue's room.
>It is true that Byakuren is an accomplished magician. Not to mention that she knows Nue more intimately than you do.
>Considering that it was likely for Nue to have left quite some time ago, as well as the fact that the rooms were likely to have been cleaned frequently, the prospects aren't high.
>"Okay! Do you need anything else, master?"
>Your internal clock tells you that it's the morning. You ask Chen to confirm.
>"It's almost lunch time!"
>You know that Chen usually eats lunch at around 1PM. You suppose that you can't rely on your sense of time for the time being, either.
