>You think that's all correct and reasonably fair assumptions.

I am certain it was wielded by an unpleasant spectre of some kind of who invaded Makai, along with Reimu and others, to deal with with the recent increase in tourism into Gensokyo."

>You make your way toward the case. Looking inside, you can see what appears to a flat-topped rock with some moss atop it. At first, though thought it was suspended in midair by a thin piece of string, but looking closer, you cannot find any such thing. It seems to simply be floating on its own. As you take a closer look, though, you note what seem to be miniature ruins built atop of it, barely noticeable unless you squint.

IIRC Mary brought that back with her from the events of Yukari Quest.

...might be Rinnosuke's glasses, yeah. They're certainly old enough for our purposes.

For just some plain glasses, they might not mind a deal. Like the people we've talked to have said... find a worthless, yet old trinket.
