> Ichirin: Give Nazrin the fuel.
You retrieve your tank of CUCUMBER BIO-FUEL from behind your bed chest, which is full of your SHAMEFULLY IMMATURE FASHION MAGAZINES. You ask Nazrin how much she'll need, and she replies that she'll probably need the whole tank, but she'll pay you back later. Whatever, she's good for it.
You mention that Former Hell is easy to get to and that she won't need to do any spelunking, but she tells you that she left something underground and that's she's using the party as an opportunity to go get it.
Nazrin adds the CUCUMBER BIO-FUEL TANK to her inventory, easily stashing the large object using her PACKRAT PERK. You don't think she even
has a maximum weight limit. One time she grinded on trash mobs for a full week before she returned to town to sell the loot!
She thanks you and leaves.

> Ichirin: Leave room.
You head back into the foyer, where Shou and Nue have changed into their outfits for the party as well.
Shou says she thinks your outfit is SUPER COOL. You return the compliment, since nobody can pull off a LEOPARD PRINT SHIRT like Shou can. You think it might be a little better if she ditched the scarf, but you keep that to yourself.
Nue is dressed as SCANDALOUSLY AS USUAL. If her hemline was any higher it'd be over her neck. When you make an issue of this, Nue claims that if anyone tries to look up her skirt, her MAGICAL PANTIES will show them naught but a TWISTED REFLECTION OF THEIR DARKEST FEARS. You dare not test this claim.
You tell them you'll be back in a minute.
> Ichirin: Get Unzan.You return to find Kyouko putting the finishing touches on her sweeping. You tell her that's good enough and that she should go get ready.
Since she's a mountain youkai, you wonder if she has anything to wear and if you should ask her if she wants to borrow some of your clothes, but she's already off before you get the chance.
Despite your RELATIVELY CONSERVATIVE CHOICE OF OUTFIT, Unzan still gives you a hard time.
DO UP THAT TOP BUTTON ON YOUR SHIRT MISSY NO PARTNER OF MINE IS LEAVING THE TEMPLE DRESSED LIKE THAT
OH MY GOD UNZAN YOU'RE NOT MY DAD I'M A GROWN WOMAN I CAN DRESS HOWEVER I WANT
I THINK YOU'VE BEEN HANGING OUT TOO MUCH WITH THAT NUE HOUJUU SHE'S A BAD INFLUENCE ON YOU
SHE'S NOT A BAD INFLUENCE well okay I guess she is BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT
You eventually cave, like you always do. There's just no arguing with a traditional old man like Unzan.
> Ichirin: Visit Minamitsu.You decide to say hi to her before you leave, and maybe try to convince her to go, although you doubt she will.
You head over to Minamitsu's shed, where she spends most of her time lately working on her shipbuilding project. Minamitsu hasn't really been the same ever since you disassembled the palanquin to build the temple; in retrospect, it might not have been such a good idea to take away a ship ghost's ship. Although she claimed it didn't bother her, she was pretty moody for a few weeks afterward. Byakuren even started wondering if she had made a mistake.
Then all of a sudden Minamitsu started work on this! She's pretty obsessive about it and won't let anyone help her with it. She insists everything has to be "done right". Unzan says not to worry about it, because there comes a time in every man's life when he must create something for himself (dismissing the fact that she is neither a man nor alive).
You greet Minamitsu, and she responds to both you and Unzan in kind. She says nice hat.
