> As she hops up on the edge of the ship, the tiger waves. "Take care."

>Follow the rodent!

> You and Yoshika take to the skies and follow Nazrin as she starts to fly off. Dowsing rods in hand, she sails over the waves and flies due north, indifferent to the morning wind whipping through her hair. In no time at all you've left Youkai Mountain and the humans behind you, and are currently flying over the Forest of Magic. Nazrin shifts her dowsing rods a bit and flies a bit to the west, and keeps going.
> Although flight is the fastest mode of transportation in Gensokyo, it looks like you'll be flying over water for a while. However, your destination seems clear: the mountain range opposite Youkai Mountain.

> You think they're where Genji went, a while after you learned how to fly on your own. He used to visit, but you never figured out where exactly he went. You know nothing else about the mountains.

>Follow dat maus.

> You follow Nazrin as she flies along the surface of the water. Every now and then, she dips one of her dowsing rods into the waves and a spray of water goes flying out behind her. As you follow Nazrin, Yoshika follows you. She's surprisingly fast and manages to fly almost right next to you.
> You see your shrine in the distance as you keep going, but Nazrin doesn't even look at it. She keeps going in the same direction until the mountains are looming closer and closer. The water gives way to muddied shores, and Nazrin lands on a log. You see to be part of the way up a mountain, looks like. You feel as though you're standing in the mouth of a great beast. The trees are tall and thin, with nary a mushroom in the foliage. The wind is the only sound you hear coming out of there.

>Follow along.
>Keep an eye out for interesting things.

> You follow Nazrin and begin your trek through the forest.
> As you walk, you keep an eye out for anything interesting. What's interesting is that there's nothing worth noting here. It's just a plain old forest. You don't even see any youkai about, except for the ones you're traveling with. Nazrin has her dowsing rods held in front of her and points them from side to side. She starts leading you and Yoshika up a hill, and then along the face of the mountain. You start to elevate higher and higher, and the grass begins to thin out. At some point, you enter the shadowy side of the mountain, and it gets a little cold. You've probably been walking for a long while now, but Nazrin isn't bothered in the least. In fact, she has started to move faster.

>Follow that vermin! Float if we have to in order to keep up.

> You follow, and follow. Your shoeless feet hit cold water, and you realize that there's water trickling down the path. Yoshika hops on, unfazed by the water, while Nazrin hovers into the air.
> "We're getting closer," Nazrin informs you. The ground levels out and you're ankle-deep in water. Against the mountain face, you see crumbled stones. There's a short column laying in the middle of the pathway...well, as much of a pathway as there could be in this forest. There's a clearing up ahead, partly flooded.

>Keep on following.

> You proceed into the clearing.
> As it turns out, the clearing is flooded because there is water pouring out of a perfectly circular hole in the mountain face. As far as you can tell, there's nothing but water in the hole. As you and Yoshika look on, what appears to be a whitish-grey lump is spewed out with the water and rolls into the pool. Nazrin, however, goes straight past this scene and towards a large rock on the other side of the clearing.

> Nazrin gives you a thumbs up and walks back to the clearing.
> Yoshika has followed you all the way here, so you direct her back to the lump you saw earlier. She nods, staring off into space, and hops off to investigate.
> Sanae doesn't give any indication that she has noticed you.
