>The woman in red laughs; you suspect it's at least a little at your expense. "It's a kind of horn," she says. "Small and made of brass, which a bunch of buttons."

>You have just had an...interesting meeting with Miko. If nothing else, you've managed to confirm that she wasn't behind Seiga's current schemes, or at least claims not to. You don't think she would fake losing her sword, at least... As well, you've managed to rope her into Yuyuko's play, which is a good thing. Now you stand at the entrance to the Underground, pondering your next move.

>You make your way down the tunnel, keeping an eye open for open for the bucket girl and feeling a slight breeze blowing around.
>Soon the windy tunnel widens to outward to a chamber, stretching some yards to the left and right, and a few yards overhead. Stalactites dot the ceiling, some of them reaching to the ground. Spider webs are everywhere, some of them bearing writing on them. Much of the chamber is obscured by these features, but if you recall correctly, that bucket youkai should be in here somewhere. You can also see a tunnel on the far side, leading deeper down.

>You range around the cavern, looking around. The webs with words become less common; likely because no one passing through would see them. It doesn't take long before you see a scrap of blanket dangling from the ceiling, in an alcove created by several stalactites.

>You draw closer and crane your neck upward. Now that you know where to look, you can easily make out a bucket dangling from the stalactites, with a small green-haired youkai inside, wrapped in a blanket and snoozing away against the rim.

>You leave the snoozing youkai alone and continue through the cave you found.
>The path continues to incline downward. Soon you come to a point where another tunnel intersects with this one from the northeast. Continuing further along, the tunnel widens into a long chamber marked with a number of fissures and cracks on the floor. Most notably, there is a lone faerie here, laying by a fissure with her arm up to the shoulder reaching inside it. She notices you, and calls out, "Hey pal! Got any gold or gems?"
