> Head out on foot to where the old stone bridge should be.

>You head out on foot!
>Ultimately, this means you end up following the nearby road toward Golden Lake. The going is fairly slow on foot, and you're starting to wonder if it would just be better to fly after all, when you see a familiar curve in the road, and a familiar rundown old house at the curve. The front yard is no longer littered with old furniture, and the roof has been changed, but you would recognize Kourindou anywhere. There is is even an sign by the door declaring it open!

>You enter the shop!
>You quickly notice the shelves are much neater than what you remember, stocked with fewer random knick knacks and more dried goods. But you pay little attention to that. as your stare at the person setting at the counter. She is...difficult to see, your eyes just slide off of her, like trying to skim a long paragraph full of technical language. You look at her, but you do not see her, rather you see through her, or perhaps around her.

>"Of course not," comes a strong, but small feminine voice. The woman moves, but you still can't quite get your eyes to focus on her. It is like she is in your peripheral vision, and you can't just look over. You see white and blue, though,and she does not seem to be very tall. "This is Inconspicious Mercantile."

>You aren't quite sure why you can't see this person properly. But it is certainly frustrating. You feel yo can almost do it, but your eyes just keep sliding off her.

Oh, you absolute card. (Though the name saddens me a bit.)

> "Well...the reason I disappeared was because I was flung forward in time by an unknown force while trying to rescue the hakutaku of the time from an explosive accident in the mansion's library. From my perspective, that explosion was just this morning - from everyone else's, it was nearly one thousand years ago, shortly after the kobito war, or rebellion, or whatever history remembers Shinmyoumaru Sukuna's actions as. I have spent part of the day working to obtain the materials necessary for a spell that should return me to the time in which I belong."
