>You hear the front door open and shut in the front room.

>"Ah, you mean Alice's friend?" says Byakuren. "That may be possible."
>You don't think she introduced herself.
>You look toward the door, and see Mokou walking in, carrying a small bag that she seems to have improved from a handkerchief. She looks at you as you look at her. For a moment she is silent, then her lips quirk for a moment, before she bursts out with laughter.

>You didn't really ask for anything; you made an offhand comment about needing an air freshener, and she volunteered to get some pine needles.

>You're pretty sure you should be able to bring all of your possessions with you, since you took the time to make certain the tunnel didn't get too choked with dirt. You could carry the bundle in your hands, but it would probably be better to store it away.

>You float back downstairs, quietly reveling in the dignity of proper walking and flight for the moment, before you have to crawl through a hole in the ground.
>The basement is as you left it. Dirt is all over the floor, and piles of money loom over everything. Rinnosuke sits in his place, detached from the world around him.

>You really deserve a medal for all this trouble.
>You move you purse so it won't get won't get caught on the ceiling, and sling your trident over one arm so that it will drag along side of you. Then you approach the hole, take a good steadying breath, and kneel down to work your way into it. At least the dirt on the floor is preferable to kneeling down on the ice. The tunnel itself is cramped, but you've done well to give yourself some decent clearance. You can't properly crawl through it, but creeping through on your forearms works well enough. You have to stop to rest every so often, and once or twice you have to manipulate your trident around a stray rock. But foot by foot, you make your way through the tunnel, until you can see the exit just ahead.

>You float over to Rinnosuke and his table. It is has a cloth draped over it. Getting closer, you can see he has become noticeably pale, and is shivering a little when he exhales.
