>You leave the Jewelry shop, head for the edge of town, which the shop is quite close to. Circling around the edge of town, you pass passing by some scattered homes, while the forest that the Hakurei Shrine closes in from the east. You cross the main street where it starts to meander toward the shrine, looking down it to see the milling people, and note the location of the grocery. Working further southward, you note a fairly large house along the road you think extends along the grocer's. It's is decently large, about akin to the one that the Maribel and Renko live in, but stands out from the other homes around it.

>The house is rather understated, despite its size. It would probably stand out quite a bit more otherwise.
>You approach the house, walking along its low porch toward the doors; two simply wooden things lacking any particular decoration.

>She looks at the broken weapon, frowning. Then she steps out and looks at the runes. "If this has anything to do with out history," she says, "Then I've never heard about it. It's obviously not from here, the design is all wrong, and that writing is practically gibberish as far as we're concerned. I think it probably came from Kourindou, doesn't he like things like this?"
