> Dash on over to the side of the house where the squeal came from.

>You glide over, and find a blue-haired faerie with a brush in hand, hovering just under the apex of the roof on the southern side of the house.
>"Eep." she says, looking at you with wide eyes.

>You see the forest. There's still quite a lot of it. She is sort of vaguely pointing toward the path leading toward the stream where Iku took you to meet Shuuei last fall, but you don't recall any sign of Marisa's house, from what you recall.

>You take flight and leave the moaning faerie behind.
>You head southward over the sea of trees, looking around and finding the main road rather easily as you drift northward. You also catch sight of Kourindou along the way. Then, up ahead, you spot a small clearing not too far west of the road.
