Sword Quest X - A Z-Machine Adventure

[Hello Purvis]

> Miko: "It was a simple process. But as little as this means, it does not seem your friend is in the immediate area, extending out as far as where Reimu presently is."

>"Didn't think she'd be," says Utsuho. "Thanks for looking, though."

> Miko: "You are welcome. Sadly, there is not much more I am aware I can do, given my outstanding commitments back in Gensokyo."

> Miko: Nod. "When Youmu returns, I shall."

[Hello Purvis]

> Miko: Nod. "When Youmu returns, I shall."

>Youmu: You make it to the front gates.  "Until we meet again," the large monk says as she makes her way out. Kotohime simply waves.
>Miko: Yuyuko nods. "If you need a guide, you need only ask."

[Kilgamayan]

> Youmu: "Safe travels in your journey home!"
> Youmu: Return to that sitting room at a swift pace, but not so swift that Kotohime cannot easily match it.
> Miko: "If you are willing to bring me back to where Yoshika is, taking a path that does not disturb Reimu, then I will be glad to join you. I would like to see Youmu one last time before I leave, however, to give a proper farewell if nothing else."

>Youmu: You make your way back.
>Miko: "Oh, that's easy enough," says Yuyuko. She looks to Parsee and Utsuho. "You two can stay here, yes?"
>Miko: "Yeah, sure," says Parsee.
>Miko: "Splendid!" says Yuyuko as she floats toward the door. "Let's be on our way, shall we?"

[Kilgamayan]

> Miko: Nod. "Thank you."
> Miko: Follow that ghost!

[Hello Purvis]

> Miko: Nod. "Thank you."
> Miko: Follow that ghost!

>Miko: Yuyuko leads you through some halls, leading leftward then forward, going around the courtyard, until you reach a side door. She opens it, revealing a nice view of the garden and the Saigyou Ayakashi in the distance, and gestures for you to go through.

> Miko: Enter the garden. "Will you be joining me for this conversation? It should be short."

> Miko: "It would be good to have a Hakugyokurou representative present."
> Miko: Head back to where Yoshika was.
> Miko: "By the way, I must say that Youmu is quite the skilled individual. You must be very pleased."

>"Oh, Youmu's such a treasure," says Yuyuko as you make your way toward the leafless cherry tree. Then you find Yoshika, who hasn't moved yet.
>"Hi Priiiiince!" she calls upon seeing you, trying to turn her head to see you better.

[Kilgamayan]

> Miko: How poor is Yoshika's memory?
> Miko: Re-angle our walking path to make seeing us less difficult on Yoshika.
> Miko: "Hello again, Yoshika. How are you doing?"

> Miko: "Hello again, Yoshika. How are you doing?"

>Miko: You don't have a lot of confidence in her memory.
>Miko: "I'm still stuuuuck!" she says. "Can I leave nooow?"

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Miko: "I believe Seiga has said she will retrieve you when she can."
> Miko: Look to Yuyuko. "Assuming this is permissible, of course."

>Miko: "Well, if Youmu doesn't mind. This is her affair."
>Miko: "Yaaaaaay!" the jiang shi says.

> Miko: "It did not seem she had any objections when discussing the terms of the duel earlier. But we can certainly wait for her to return to confirm this."

>Yuyuko nods. "That's fair."

[Kilgamayan]

> Miko: Look back to Yoshika. "Now listen to me, Yoshika, because this is important. Seiga's plan to instill a local noble with great amounts of power has failed, and Youmu the swordswoman has requested compensation for being wronged."

>"Okay," says Yoshika.

[Kilgamayan]

> Miko: "Youmu has requested a duel with Seiga, tomorrow morning, before the mahjong tournament. If Youmu wins this duel, then Seiga must work in servitude here for two weeks, followed by an addition week of servitude for the local noble I mentioned earlier. If Seiga wins this duel, then there will be no further recompense necessary. Is this clear?"

[Kilgamayan]

> Miko: "Then let Seiga know that she must speak with Youmu before leaving this place."
> Miko: Look to Yuyuko. "Or, if Youmu is unavailable for some reason, would speaking to you suffice?"

> Miko: Look just a bit taken aback. "...Is something amiss, Lady Saigyouji?"
