>"Yes, that's it," says the voice. "A very important pet. If you see it, please do everything you can to catch it, I'll pay anything! Now, one more question, have you seen an oarfish youkai today?"

>"She's very tall, and wears a wide-brimmed hat and a pink shawl."
>Oh, you remember that. You've seen her a lot in the tunnels. Never managed to catch her. But you've not seen her today.

>"Not yet," she says. "Hoping it won't come to that. If you see her, tell her that someone needs to meet her at the place. It sounds vague, but she will understand. Alright? I'm sure she'll reward you somehow."

Now I'm wondering just how much time passed between this and Nue Quest.

>The thin air does not answer your wish for a name.
>You check the ground, but you don't find anything that the speaker may have left before.
>With that, you continue westward. It's still a little odd, when you think about it, to be surrounded by so much plant life. Not uncomfortable, thankfully, just a bit odd. If nothing else, there is a narrow comfortableness to the trees. As you walk along, you pass by what seems to be a hill with windows; likely Wriggle's house if you recall correctly; which has a number of tiny mushroom sprouts on top of it.
>Continuing further on, you note that the trees ahead give way to a vista of brown bamboo. You can hear the sound of someone chiseling away on a rock nearby, a bit to the south.
