>Food first ponga later sadly.
>We can think about how to find him though.
>"Wriggles really a girl? Too much shock in one day. Gah."
>"Ah, food! I'm really hungry!"
>"Mystia.... <3 "
>Crawl to the cart...
>"Nya... For me...?"
>We are fine though right...? Nya....
>"Woah woah woah! Wriggle was a girl?!"
>Freak out.
>"Thank you... for helping me find my beloved Ponga..."
> Sigh a bit.
> "So are we gonna check out that base next for your friends?"
>You flip out over the stress of Ponga going missing, and Wriggle actually being a girl. What a shock!
"You sure have flipped out a lot today. Are you sure you're okay?">You decide that food's the best thing to go for next, so you amble over to Mystia's cart.
>But you figure that you should think about how to find Ponga too.
>...Ow. Man, you're hurting a fair bit. Looks like whatever you did took a lot out of you.
>Thankfully, you manage to get to the bench that's built into the cart before your legs give out on you. Nothing a good and hearty meal and a little rest won't fix though, probably.
>Just how long were you out...? It had to have been at least the rest of the day, since Mystia was able to get her cart all the way over here from the Bamboo Forest.
>Of course, the moment you plonk yourself down, you're already faced with a large bowl of what appears to be some form of meat. Beef maybe? It smells good..
>Wriggle's nowhere to be seen though, she must be off looking for Ponga or something. Now that you think about it, you never did find out what her power is.
>You're pretty sure it has something to do with bugs from what Chen said.
>You sigh a bit and decide to start eating, and you ask if the base is next on the list, gotta find Cirno and Dai after all.
>And Mystia, who's behind the counter, nods.
"Yeah, I think we should do it tonight." And Mokou chuckles.
"Strike while the Iron's hot eh?">Of course, you hear a faint, yet familiar buzz....One of Yukari's Gaps...?
>So you turn around a bit to look, and you see Hebichi walking out of it!
"..Evening..">But she's wearing what looks like a thick apron that seems to have various tools sticking out of the pockets. Hang on, are those scorchmarks on it?
>She looks like she's been hard at work in a place where there's fire.
>You never really noticed it before on account of the sleeves of her dress, but her arms...they're quite well-toned. She could probably knock over a tree with those.
>From the timeskip long time ago, what did Ponga and us do? From that history, do we know where he MIGHT be at?
>You didn't really do much other than head to the Moriya Shrine to learn how to fly. Ponga was always by your side.
>You'd usually relax by the Lake out behind the Shrine, which you eventually learned was Suwako's Domain. So he might be found there eventually.
>She'd always be found a few feet under the water's surface. It always freaked you out how she could stay underwater for almost the entire day, and come out dry as usual.
Parser's Note: Have you guys guessed what Hebichi does for a hobby yet?
