>"Oh I bet she would," says Miyu. "She might not look like it, but she's a bigshot archer. Been trying to teach Reisen lately, and it's pretty funny to watch, Reisen's just no good at it."

>"Well, if you're looking to get anything done, getting on Eirin's good side is a fast way to do it," says Miyu. "The Princess is faster, but who knows what she's thinking?"

><Myu nods, and continues to make her way through the Bamboo. You quickly realize she isn't paying as much attention to her surroundings as Mokou did, but you also realize it shouldn't be a real problem; if you go straight long enough you'll hit the edge sooner or later. Once or twice, she adjusts her course to dodge around some faeries, but aside from that she doesn't seem to be paying much mind to where she is going.
>After a little while, you emerge from the bamboo into the bare-branched trees of the Forest of Magic. The snow is gone, and the trees are all bearing buds, or at least hints of them. "So, what now?" says Miyu.

>Making your way out of the forest is reasonably easy; it's not hard to tell which was is north and the surface is spoiled for being able to move in a straight line toward what you want. Miyu seems to have lead you near the edge of the forest of magic, for you emerge from it a few minutes later, and then it's a straight northeasterly path through the fields until you reach the village.
>Bouncing into town with the rabbit at your side, you can see the village has woken up, and there is a fair amount of people bustling from shops and around the homes. After the peace of the Bamboo Forest, it sounds practically like a huge gathering of fairies here, with the talking and the sounds of animals and people working.

>"I'm gonna go shopping, then kick my feet up at the pub," says Miyu. "Take your time!"
>She angles toward the pub, while you continue further into the town. You pass by Shou's clothes and the housing rows where housewives are gathered and gossip while they go about their chores. Soon you reach the temple, where you can see Kyouko is busy washing the side of the temple with a long-handled mop. She catches sight of you as you approach and waves.

>"Oh! I'll go get Ichirin, then!" says Kyouko, as she puts her mop in her water bucket and dashes inside before you can really say otherwise. So you're left with little to do but look at the water bucket. It's old and kind of cheap, and too small for you. It doesn't leak yet, but the rim is going to start to slip soon if they're not gentle with it.
>After a moment, the hooded woman walks outside and approaches you. "Welcome back," she says. "Did she accept our letter?"
