> Keep an eye out for karakasa.
> Keep heading for the shrine.
> If it were a karakasa, she would be quite inept, as she's already given herself away.
> No, there is tea to be had and magic to be discussed, weiter!
>Look toward that giggling.
> Then again, you're riding kinda high on a good day, so one little peak can't hurt. You gave upwards into the trees.
> You see nothing, but the giggling continues.
> Wield knife.
> Look for fairies.
> You pull out your knife and flip it open.
> "Oh ho ho, a knife? Surely that won't protect you." No way a spooky voice like that could belong to a fairy. You shudder.
>Prepare fist for punching
>Psyche self up with MANLY SPIRIT, just in case.
> Despite the claimed ineffectiveness of the knife, you also prepare to punch whatever it is. If you throw enough at it, hopefully something will land.
> You think of explosions and guitar solos. Yeah, that's manly.
> Call out to the laughter by saying "Hello, who is that laughing? Cirno, Lily White, or a fairy maybe?"
> I suggest this as, wouldn't fairies being pranksters be somewhat common knowledge, and if it's Cirno or a friend of hers, we could get by safely?
> Get ready to grab knife, but don't pull it out yet, wait to see who, or what, is making that laughter.
> Keep heading towards the shrine while still tracking the laughters source.
> "I should offended that you would think I'm a fairy. No respect, none at all."
> You're not sure, you've only interacted with the fairies once.
> Too late.
> You begin to walk onwards towards the shrine, keeping an eye out for...anything really.
> "Leaving so soon? And you call that hunting for the source? I'm disappointed, you're no fun."
> Don't call out. We can't be sure how dangerous whatever is laughing is.
>This is a good idea.
> Too late now, but she doesn't seem too dangerous. Yet.
> Whoever is laughing could already know that we are here, so not calling out could be just as bad.
> She definitely knows that you're there.
> "Are you sure you want to just walk away?"
