>"Someone's been digging for treasure, I bet."
>Have a look around the area, and check the trees.
>"What?" she asks, turning to you for a moment and then peering harder into the distance. You get the distinct impression she can't actually see what you're referring to, at least judging by the expression on her face.
>You start to move across the field towards the nearest cluster of dirt piles, examining any large trees you pass by along the way. As you suspected, the piles are indicative of a hole, roughly the same size as the one that was dug into Momoka's network. There doesn't appear to be anything of interest either in the hole or around it, nor any particular reason you can see why someone would dig a hole in that exact spot. It isn't very deep, either.
>Momoka stares at it with a sort of vague disapproval. "It's not a very good hole," she says quietly.
>You continue on to the next set of dirt piles, the mole youkai eventually trailing after you. This turns out to be much the same as the last. As you work your way across the field, you find about a half-dozen holes, some deeper than others, but none with any real clues as to their purpose or their builder - at least beyond what one might suspect simply from there being a series of random, apparently pointless holes scattered haphazardly about.
>As you move off towards the hill, a glint of light catches your eye from among the boughs of a particularly large tree. Peering at it more closely, it seems to be a reflection off a small window, mostly obscured by the foliage.
