> I don't see why not. The bridge is pretty important.
> How good is our CHA stat?

> As one of the oni leaders, you have a duty towards your people.
> ...But you are the worst at talking. Your ability to survive in social situations continues to amaze you. Who knows? This might give you some EXP.

>Contemplate the bucket monster. How banged up is she? Is there anything that suggests stuff done to her outside of trying to get her to talk? Any danmaku damage?

> Contrary to Yuugi's cheerful threat, not a hair is out of place on this little goblin. She just looks kind of pissed off. At this rate, you might have to worry about her being the one to attack.

>"...Okay."
>Put on our game face, and take that bucket.
>Don't hold her too close, though, lest we get stabbed or bitten.

> You may or may not be making a mistake.
> You take the bucket from Yuugi, and hold it at a safe distance. The bucket monster hisses and kicks the side of the bucket. If you didn't have a good grip, that would've made you drop it.
> "Hey, Yuugi! Come here for a second!" Parsee yells, cruelly taking your safety net from you.
> Once Yuugi has stepped away, the disgruntled creature in the bucket rises and takes a swipe at your arm with her grimy little paws.

>"Tell me what happened, I'll let you go. Please."

> "I didn't do nothin'!" the youkai protests, as you remove her from the situation like a toddler throwing a fit. This is just like when Reimu was little.
> "It's not my fault! I don't need to tell you nothin' just so I can leave!"

> The bucket monster shoves herself against the side of the bucket, presumably trying to flip it upside-down. It doesn't work, obviously. Why doesn't she just get up and run?
> "Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me! The bridge princess didn't, and then she kicked me off the bridge. Frickin' jerk." She sinks down into the bucket and crosses her arms, looking hurt.

> You take your hands off the bucket. The girl inside, surprisingly, doesn't bolt.
> "It was the fish," she admits. "It broke my line and everything. Then it swam off. All I got was one of its stupid scales."
> She snorfs loudly and drags her sleeve across her face. "Now I don't got a fishing rod or a way back across the bridge."

> The bucket youkai reaches into her yukata and pulls out a red scale the size of your thumbnail. It's chipped in the corner, likely from the struggle.

> She lets you take the scale, or rather she can't stop you from doing so. She looks dismayed when her treasure is taken from her.
> You take a closer look at the scale. It looks like any other fish scale to you. Quite a pretty one, at that. It makes the red of your clothes look dull. You don't get to look at it for long before the bucket youkai takes it back.

> "Uuuugh." The youkai whines and cowers in her bucket. Well, there's nothing stopping you from just carrying her back to the bridge.

> "Okay. Miss Konngara." You can feel Kisume staring at you, but luckily, you're the master of avoiding eye contact.
> "Is everything alright back there?" someone calls from a distance. It's probably one of the earth spiders, or that fox.

>Well, they can see we're alright.
>Let's go find Yuugi again.

> You go back the way you came, passing by a concerned-looking earth spider in the process.
> At the bridge, you see Yuugi holding up the bulk of the wood, so that it doesn't collapse while the spiders work. Parsee is among them, working as deftly as if she had webs herself.
> Yuugi, who you swear has eyes on the sides of her head, notices you immediately.
> "Hey! How'd it go?! Thanks again, for helping me out!"

>"It was a fish."
>Look to Kisume. "Show her."

> Kisume holds up the fish scale for all to see.
> "Huh. That's a big scale. Hey Parsee, you see that?" Yuugi calls out to the bridge princess, who stalks over to see what's going on.
> Parsee squints at the fish scale. "Looks more like a whale scale than a fish scale, if whales had them. Ugh, I bet it mutated because of that birdbrained, walking nuke or something."
> "Isn't the palace good about its waste?" the kitsune asks.
> "Hey, we can always catch it if it comes 'round this way again, and cut it open," comes Yuugi's reply.
> "Anyway, you're banned from fishing at the bridge. Go further downstream or upstream, or else you're gonna get it," Parsee declares, much to Kisume's dismay.
> "Aw, man..."
> "Them's the breaks," Parsee says with a shrug. "It's my bridge."
