> "You misunderstand. I am saying that you can use these images as direct publicity for your gallery. Simply putting them into the gallery will not get your message much more attention if your gallery gets as little attention as you say. Put the pictures out there around Gensokyo to make people think that hey, if this is a part of this gallery, perhaps it isn't what I once thought it was. It might be worth inquiring into further, or even visiting this gallery for ourselves."

>"So," says Nue, "If I'm hearing you right, you're saying the way for Aya to prove she isn't a pervert is to spread those kinds of picture of herself?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "Which is, in itself, easily interpreted as a perverted act, yes, but when presented properly, accompanied with the artistic message, perhaps a description of Miss Shameimaru's feelings at the time, and with a proper advance warning for those who may not want to see such a thing on principle, I believe it could work, yes."

>"Maybe," says Nue with a shrug. "I admit, I don't get the whole art thing to this, so a guess a little explaining might help."
>'I am not going to write up an explanation," says Aya. "It'd ruin the whole point of doing it if I tell people what the point it. I might as well just write a little essay and leave it at that."

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown.
> "I suspect it will be very difficult to gain followers and appreciation with a medium as personal as this if prospective observers do not understand the core purpose. But this is your choice to make."

>"I've done alright up til now," says Aya. "I imagine I'll continue to do so."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Very well."
> How is Mystia holding up?

[Hello Purvis]

> "Very well."
> How is Mystia holding up?

>"I'm happy you're concerned," says Aya, "But there's some things integrity won't allow."
>Mystia is in her stand, presently cleaning the grill. She seems faintly annoyed.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "I understand. With that out of the way, then, I believe the time has come to tell the other reason I wish to accompany you both on your journey back to your home. Lord Tenma has learned how Miss Miss Shameimaru was able to escape from her incarceration."

>Aya looks up at you. "Huh. How'd that go over?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "About as well as could be expected. I imagine that there are few, if any, that appreciate having their authority undermined in such a fashion, and Lord Tenma is not one. But I understand that proper amends have been made. Still, this means it is my duty to see this through to the end."

>"Well, if that's the case," says Momiji, "Perhaps we should go?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I am prepared, but I am hardly the only one leaving."
> Turn to Aya.
> "Are you ready for this?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "I am prepared, but I am hardly the only one leaving."
> Turn to Aya.
> "Are you ready for this?"

>"Might as well," says Aya.

[Kilgamayan]

> "All right, then."
> Turn to Nue.
> "Will you be joining us?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "All right, then."
> Turn to Nue.
> "Will you be joining us?"

>"Naw," says Nue. "Once is enough this trip."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Understood. But I would be remiss if I did not tell you that Miss Himekaidou would like her laundry washed before you return it."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Understood. But I would be remiss if I did not tell you that Miss Himekaidou would like her laundry washed before you return it."

>Nue snorts. "Sure, I'll wash it when I get it back."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I believe that covers everything, then. Miss Lorelei, my apologies for our intruding on your patience for so long."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I believe that covers everything, then. Miss Lorelei, my apologies for our intruding on your patience for so long."

>"Yeah yeah," says Mystia.

[Kilgamayan]

> Stand up, if we've been setting.
> "All right, let's take care of this now. I hope that this will not take too long."

[Hello Purvis]

> Stand up, if we've been setting.
> "All right, let's take care of this now. I hope that this will not take too long."

>You didn't get to sit down.
>"Alright, Aya, let's go," says Momiji.
>Aya nods, and they both take to the air.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Take flight and follow them.

[Hello Purvis]

> Take flight and follow them.

>You follow the two of them. They make a beeline for Youkai Mountain, and it's particularly difficult to keep up with them at first, until they notice you are falling behind and slow down for you.
>The trip is an easy one otherwise, and soon you reach the Tengu village again. Momiji places a hand on Aya's shoulder and says, "Let's get you back to the prison before we do anything else. It'll look good."
>"Yeah, I know," says Aya with a sigh,
>"Hey, while we're on the subject," says Momiji, "What'd you do with the key, anyways?"

>You give Momiji the Jail Key.

>Then she leads Aya toward the jail while pocketing the key.

[Hello Purvis]
