> "Yeah, I understand. Guess that explains why she's so big for a fairy, too. But anyway, yeah, I'd be all ears for a gardening lesson."

>Minoriko nods. and starts to explain to you about how to grow root vegetables. In particular, she goes into what times of year to plant them, how deep to place them in the dirt and how far apart to space them. As well, she makes sure you know the proper depths necessary for their roots, which is a particular concern underground, and how much water and light they need. She then goes into how to deal with various pests that may harm them and how to identify and deal with some common blights. Overall, you find the talk about the subject to be enlightening, if a bit dry.
>You obtain the skill: Rudimentary Root Vegetable Care
>As she finishes, you can see some red and blue danmaku in the distance toward the east.

>You make your way western, toward the entrance of the forest. As you do, you note the faerie fly overhead and past you, apparently not noticing you. As you proceed, you note the snow feels a bit less powdery than before as you bounce through it, and the buds on the trees seem a little closer to opening than last time.
>Soon you return to the edge of the forest. Looking toward the hill, you note the hell raven and her companion are still there. The former seems to be laying in the snow, and the latter is still perched on her seat from before.

>You head back westward. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't go any further southward than it did the first time. As you draw closer to That House, though, you notice that it does intersect with a road going North and South between the village and the forest. You also note that someone in the distance is walking along it, though she is too far away to make out any details other than he or she is wearing a long dress or a robe.

>You follow the road, and make your way past That House without any problem; there doesn't seem to be any activity around it at the moment. You reach the intersection well before the other person, and start heading southward toward her. As you do, you note she is a blonde woman, wearing a long purple dress and a mob cap. She also looks reasonably familiar; it takes you a moment to figure out why, then you remember that she was one of your victims, some time ago. And chances are, if you recognize her, she's probably recognized you by now...
