>Following her has worked before, so it will work this time! Do so!

>While following her, you hear a breeze rustle foliage high up in the canopy. The nameless fairy looks up excited.
>"Hey, wind's back! We really did win!", she says.
>"How long were you stuck there anyway?", Star asks.
>"Kinda long but not too long I guess, I didn't have to sleep!"
>"So why didn't you try flying up out of there? That thing might've not worked in the air.", says Luna.
>"Fly!?" The fairy looks offended by Luna's solution. "I don't fly! What's the point of travelling if you're just gonna fly everywhere? That's not what Luize would've wanted!"
>"You're not gonna fly even if your life depends on it? Like it did right there?", says Luna.
>The fairy folds her arms and gives Luna a stern staredown. "Of course I'm not gonna fly! You think I'm a bird? My life doesn't depend on flying!"
>"Hmm, she's got a point...", Star says, stroking her chin in thought.
>You continue onward and run into some thick brush. Reminded of what happened last time, you feel anxious as you push through it, but to your relief and pleasant surprise, you've relocated the trail!
>"Yeah, we made it!", the fairy cheers, before turning to face you. "So wait, where were you gonna go again?"

>Point in the direction of Kourindou.

>You've lost your count on the cardinal directions well by now, but you take a guess and point down the trail in the direction where you think west and Kourindou is.
>"Oh, right, you said Kourindou! Yup, that's the right way.", says the fairy.
>"Are you sure?", Luna asks, not looking very convinced.
>"I'm too sure!" The fairy jabs a thumb in her chest. "I know forests better than I know people!"
>"So where are you gonna travel next?", asks Star.
>"Well actually I'm on a break, so I'm not travelling anywhere! You know if there's gonna be a party somewhere?", the fairy says.

>None such, just as one would expect from a boring human newspaper. Even disregarding that, you're not informed on any upcoming parties

>Luna and Star haven't got any clue either. The fairy frowns for a while, but her expression quickly brightens up again.
>"I'm not gonna give up yet! There's always a party somewhere! I'm gonna walk with you to that Kourinplace, then I'll go find a party, okay?"

>"Deal!"
>Let's enact this plan.

>You set out for Kourindou, placing trust in your sense of direction and the self-styled forest expert. Not much transpires along the way, aside from Luna voicing her suspicion at regular intervals that the nameless fairy is misleading you, and Star inquiring the fairy about her travels. You find her storytelling skills a bit lacking, though.
>Just before things are starting to get mind-numbingly boring for you, you notice that the trail you've been treading on has transformed from dirt into cobblestone. Up ahead, you see a decoration in the likeness of some sort of a pink bird standing on thin metal legs in a lawn within the forest. You arrive on the lawn of an L-shaped house. Various strange objects and devices are gathered around this somewhat rundown-looking building: some lean against the poster-covered walls, while the rest haphazardly dot the premises. A large sign on the wall above the front door reads Kourindou.
>The fairy turns to you wearing a cheeky smile.
>"See, easy! Oh, did you see any parties? I don't think I did...", she says.

>You give yourself a little boost with wings, then corkscrew off the back of the pink bird. Hell yeah! Except you botch it up and end up landing on your side. Argh! You don't think it was worth it to provide Star with some schadenfreude.
>The fairy doesn't respond, since she seems to be in middle of making an important realization. A moment later, she gives you a dirty look.
>"Hey, you tricked me! That's not a real bird! It doesn't count! You charlatan!"

>"Nope, you can't trick me! That bird woulda got scared and flown away if it was really real!", says the fairy.
