Sakuya Quest 8 - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> Look back to Flan.
> "You are welcome to share the meat buns if you wish."

>"Don't worry, I've already had a few breakfasts today," she says.

>_

[Monarda]

>"I wish i had done so too..."

[Hello Purvis]

>"I wish i had done so too..."

>"Isn't that what you're doing right now?" says Flandre.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

It is indeed exactly why we ordered something! <_<

> Nod.
> "It would have been nice to not need to spend the time or the money. But it is what it is. The prices here seem reasonable, at least."

[Monarda]

//I meant earlier.

>"And it would have been more appreciated at an earlier point in this morning."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "It would have been nice to not need to spend the time or the money. But it is what it is. The prices here seem reasonable, at least."

>"And it would have been more appreciated at an earlier point in this morning."

>"Well that's your fault for running off at night and sleeping in, isn't it?" says Flandre with a chuckle.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Grin.
> "Of course, of course."

[Monarda]

>Did we also usually work that late at night ?

[Hello Purvis]

> Grin.
> "Of course, of course."

>The woman comes out a moment later, placing cups in front of you, then a plate of three fairly sizable meat buns. "Enjoy," she says. "And don't worry about Eikichi over there, he's a good dog."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "Thank you very much. As long as you are here, by the way, would you happen to know where Funsai Mountain is? We are new to this area."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Thank you very much. As long as you are here, by the way, would you happen to know where Funsai Mountain is? We are new to this area."

>"Oh, you don't wanna go there," says the serving lady, shaking her head. "That's no place for travelers."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "We certainly do not plan on staying long."
> Gesture to Flan.
> "But a fellow monk of my friend here resides there with a couple of tengu, and we need to see her."

[Monarda]

>"What about that place is so unpleasant ?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "We certainly do not plan on staying long."
> Gesture to Flan.
> "But a fellow monk of my friend here resides there with a couple of tengu, and we need to see her."

>"What about that place is so unpleasant ?"

>"She wouldn't be residing there for long, that mountain is cursed," says the serving lady.

>_

[Monarda]

>"Cursed ? And why is that ?"

[Suwako Moriya]

> "The most recent letters we received from her indicate she is still there. It is certainly possible she has moved on elsewhere, but if she has not told us, all we can do is ask around there as to where she went."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Cursed ? And why is that ?"

>"Just is," says the old lady. "I guess something awful happened there?"

> "The most recent letters we received from her indicate she is still there. It is certainly possible she has moved on elsewhere, but if she has not told us, all we can do is ask around there as to where she went."

>"You don't want to go on Funsai Mountain, I can tell you that. People die up there."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Frown a bit.
> "Not to discredit or disregard your warning, but I have handled a few disasters in my time."

[Monarda]

>"It's the nature of life, people are born and die all the time, i can assure you that the Young Mistress and i can care for ourselves."

[Hello Purvis]

> Frown a bit.
> "Not to discredit or disregard your warning, but I have handled a few disasters in my time."

>"Well, I'd feel better if you got the Moriya Maiden's approval, first," says the serving lady.

>"It's the nature of life, people are born and die all the time, i can assure you that the Young Mistress and i can care for ourselves."

>"Maybe so, but there's no need to be in a tearing hurry about it!"

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "The Moriya Maiden?"
> Nod back toward the door.
> "I don't suppose having access to Lady Yasaka's flying metal chariot would suffice?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "The Moriya Maiden?"
> Nod back toward the door.
> "I don't suppose having access to Lady Yasaka's flying metal chariot would suffice?"

>"Well, I don't know that's you, though," says the serving lady. "It'd be just as fast to ask her, anyway."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "Does she live in the shrine that is next to the landing area for that chariot? Because there was no one home when I looked, and if the state of the front room is any indication, whoever lives there likely left in a hurry."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Does she live in the shrine that is next to the landing area for that chariot? Because there was no one home when I looked, and if the state of the front room is any indication, whoever lives there likely left in a hurry."

>"Oh, she's probably up on Kou Mountain, making offerings to the Bodhisvatta for rain," she says.

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> "Where is Kou Mountain?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Where is Kou Mountain?"

>"It's the one just north of the village, dear. There's a path and everything."

>_

[Suwako Moriya]

> Nod.
> "All right, then. I will have a look into that after this meal. Thank you for your assistance."

[Hello Purvis]

> Nod.
> "All right, then. I will have a look into that after this meal. Thank you for your assistance."

>She nods. "I would still stay off Funsai Mountain if I were you, but if she says it's alright, I won't argue too hard."
>With that, she moves on to the next table.

[Kilgamayan]

> Look to Flan with a slight frown.
> "Curious. I wonder why Kyouko never told Ichirin about the dangers of the mountain."

[Hello Purvis]

> Look to Flan with a slight frown.
> "Curious. I wonder why Kyouko never told Ichirin about the dangers of the mountain."

>"Maybe it's just a local story?" says Flandre.
