> Marisa grimaces. "Wow. That Yukari, she talks big, but at the end of the day she was useless in this incident, ze."
> The two of you have passed up the Tengu Village and the Kochiya Shrine. It shouldn't be much longer until you reach the Moriya's.

> As you and Marisa near the shrine, you see that there are indeed lights on inside. You don't see anyone outside, though.

> There aren't really windows at the shrine, just sliding screens and stuff...kind of like what you have. It doesn't seem to be coming from a specific room.

> You and Marisa fly down to the shrine. While you knock on the frame of one of the screens, Marisa just walks in through the front door.
> Within moments, the screen slides open, and Rika comes out onto the deck.
> "Oh, you're back, and..." She looks over at the front door, which Marisa left open. "Huh?"

>Let's lead her back once Black White extracts herself.

> You call out to Marisa, and she comes sailing back outside of the shrine. The three of you start flying back down the mountain, towards the Genbu Ravine.
> Although it's dark, the lights you saw lighting up the lake earlier guide you towards the kappa village. Rather than going through the forests this time, the three of you touch down at the edge of the lake itself. At the sight of three humans, most of the kappa nearby flee.

>Lead her toward the proper abode, knock politely, then enter.

> The three of you fly to the other side of the lake. Your knocking makes the metal walls of the shack rattle, but it holds.
> When you head inside, Rika immediately rushes to the sleeping girl's bedside. The kappa playing cards there scatter.
> "Meira!" Rika cries. "You're okay...! And asleep."
> She kneels down and looks under the bed, where the tanuki is still hiding. "Kou-chan's here too. Hey, there."
> Nitori sneaks up behind Marisa, puts her hands on her shoulders, and whispers, "Is that the wife?"
> "Sure is!" replies Marisa.
> Rika looks over her shoulder at you. "Thank you so much! I was really worried."

> The kappa murmur replies of "yeah" "no problem" and such. Nitori scratches her nose and tries to hide her smile.

> No, but it wouldn't be out of the question. After all, when you were still learning to fly, you teamed up with Genji who is a tortoise...turtle...whichever of the two.

>"I felt bad, anyways. Must've hurt to be separated from your wife."

> Rika flushes red, and you swear her braids rise a few centimeters.
> "W-wi--" She sighs. "Oh, whatever."
> You suppose she has better things to worry about, or just doesn't care. The tanuki pads out into the open, hops onto the bed, and curls up on Meira's quilt.

> "What do you mean, what's with her?" Rika asks. "And yeah, I didn't want to stay here forever anyway."
> The kappa who were playing cards file out of the shack, chattering with each other. Nitori lets go of Marisa's shoulders and follows them out.
> "I'll, uh, get some food or something," she tells you as she leaves. Rika reaches out to give the tanuki ear scritches. She gives Marisa a sad look, but the latter looks away.
> "She's not from the village, if that's what your asking," Rika says. "She doesn't like to talk about it."

>"I figured. A swordswoman would stand out a bit."

> "Uh-huh." Rika folds her arms on the edge of the bed and rests her head on them. Marisa takes a seat on the crate and leans against the wall.
> Meira turns over in bed with a sigh, still asleep. This causes the tanuki to tumble off of the quilt. It gives a disgruntled squeak, leaps off the bed, and patters across the floor towards you.
