Durn distractions, was going to point out to Alice that Flan's probably going to want to visit, and giving her some distraction dolls would keep Flan out of her hair more.

Go ahead and add that in, then.

Well, we kinda left Alice, but...

>"Hey Flan, why don't you ask Alice if you could borrow a couple of her more normal dolls in the meantime?"

> "All right, then. I'll swing back later to see if Yuuka shows up, then."
> Head downstairs.
> "Hey, Flandre, Alice said that it will take a month to finish your doll, so let's go on back to your home."

> Alice is too absorbed in her work to respond.
> You head downstairs and let Flandre know how long it's going to take.
> "A month?" Flandre's wings droop.

> Flandre's wings flap, and the crystals on them jingle. "Ah! Okay!" She gets up from the couch and runs to the workshop.
> A few moments later, she reemerges with a few dolls wearing purple dresses. Those were from the...Kyoto fleet, right?
> Star smiles when she sees the dolls. "Ah, we have dolls like that, too."

> Make sure that Yuuka's doll stays on the sofa at Alice's, tell Hourai that we're going back to the mansion and she can pick up the medicine there, and we'll be on our way.

> Somehow you doubt that...
> Before finding Hourai, you make sure that Yuuka's doll stays on the sofa. Then you go find Hourai herself and tell her that you're all going back to the mansion. Hourai starts to fly towards the door.
> Konngara moves away from the photos.

> The four of you follow Hourai out of the house.
> Flandre doesn't look like she needs help carrying the Kyoto dolls. She seems happy enough, though--
> A tree nearby explodes. Flandre doesn't even notice it.
> Star gapes at the exploded tree but keeps walking. Konngara doesn't even look.
> You all pass through the Forest of Magic without incident and reach the lake and the Scarlet Devil Mansion again. You don't see Cirno among the fairies gathered out there.

"Pretty much. Hourai never got the medicine, though, so she came back to get it."

> "Auras, the essences of objects and living beings, sensing magical properties from ordinary objects being a low-level form of animism, the concept of souls and spirits found in every object; proof of this being tsukumogami. Being able to see the likes of that is extremely high-level magic. Items can be created for that use, but they're difficult to make and even more difficult to find, to put it lightly." She's talking faster now; she sounds really eager. "People born with, per se, extremely powerful magic capabilities are able to pull it off without the use of a magical artifact. That in and of itself is a completely different story, however. Do you perhaps know anyone like that, or is it an item?"
> Man, you're thirsty. Maybe this place has some tea around?

> "That's a shame." The girl slides a piece of paper inbetween the pages of her book and sets it on the desk. "So, Kourindou...I wouldn't expect the shopkeeper there to be aware of an item like that; he focuses primarily on Outside World paraphanalia. I'd like to borrow that stone--"
> Denied.
> The girl narrows her eyes. "I may never come across something like this again, at least let me have a look at it."

> The girl takes the stone from you and examines it. "It doesn't seem to have any markings on it that suggest that someone made it...I wonder why? It looks like something made by the likes of the Youkai Sages, but they sign everything." She takes a look through it, and her eyes widen.
> "So this is what it's like." She stands up to get a better view. She looks in every possible direction, and then at you and Konngara through the stone. She notices Star and checks her, too.
> "Fascinating," she breathes. "This is definitely a spiritual magic artifact."

Edit: Wait, do the other stones look similar to the seeing stone?
