>"Koishi, would you mind flying above bamboo height ? Maybe you'll be able to see something that may help us. Pleeeeeeeeeeeease ?"
>"Oh, good idea! I'll do that right now!" Koishi takes to the air, flying above the bamboo stalks.

>"Koishi might be right about both paths leading there. Reisen said that we just have to follow the path, and we'd be okay. But that sign hints otherwise..."
>"Well, I guess we'll have to wait for whatever Koishi has to say then, just to be safe?" Kosuzu asks.

>"Who do we ask when we don't know where to go?" Exploring intensifies

>Renko almost never keeps secrets from you. Well, as far as you know...

>It doesn't seem like pressing Renko is of any use (Phew), so lets not tackle that issue now.
>You decide it would be best to leave Renko alone for now...

>"Kosuzu, Reimu mentioned that certain things like knives have be used as danmaku. Do you know anyone who uses firearms, or where someone could even get a gun from?"
>"Well, there's a local shopkeeper with something called a 'shotgun,' does that count?" Kosuzu asks, "However, I'm pretty sure he doesn't fight with danmaku. I don't know of anyone else who has or uses these 'gun' things."

>Look into the air for Koishi.
>Koishi is above all of you, looking off into the distance.

>Accidentally catch the embarrassing sight of Koishi's... pan.
>You feel yourself go red in the face... This is bad, not because of the sight but because you just can't... stop... looking... at that... dented pan.

As long as you can update this without being of trouble to you, i'm A-Ok.

>Yay, it worked ! But that still doesn't explain the burnt sign, let's ask someone about it later.

This one here agrees with the last post. Now to business

>"Have you read the books in your bookstore? If so, could you tell me about the one titled 'Gensokyo Chronicle'? I wanted to read it, but there wasn't any time..."
>"Oh, the Gensokyo Chronicle?" Kosuzu replies, "I'm not the foremost expert on it, but it's a book that documents the entire history of Gensokyo! It's pretty cool. Though, if you want to know more about it other than just reading it, you should talk to my friend Akyuu. She's the author of the most recent volume, after all."

>Do all the questions leaving a good amount of time for Kosuzu to answer, don't snowball her with stuff.
>You make sure to space your questions enough so Kosuzu can answer them at her leisure.

>"Also, do you know anyone else with knowledge about the outside world? Or anyone who dislikes humans? If we can tie this in with people who know about guns, maybe we can find out who did it."
>"I know that shopkeeper I mentioned earlier gets a lot of outside world knick-knacks. And a few youkai have knowledge about it too, Mamizou was one of them. As for people who dislike humans, well, I know that there are a few youkai and vengeful spirits out there that dislike them, and that some youkai eat humans, but most tend to be either friendly or leave humans alone."

>"You could also tell us about Mamizou herself, if we know a little more about her, we can use that info to help us find the culprit."
>"Well, she's a tanuki, for one. She's also a very nice person and a good friend. She knows a lot of stuff too. She even used to be able to freely come and go from the outside world! But I think she lost whatever item that let her do it."

>Search a book later called "Danmaku for Dummies"
>If such a book even exists.

>"Also, could you tell us how Danmaku battles work (We know about the bullets and such, but not how it is structured)?"
>You've seen danmaku in your dreams, but you're not entirely certain on the battle mechanics.
>"Huh? Danmaku battles?" Kosuzu asks, "Well, I've never really been in one myself... But I know in most cases you have to follow a set of laws called the spellcard rules, and that your spellcard patterns are supposed to be based more on beauty than on raw power, but I've heard that one rule has a very large grey area..."

>Poke Koishi and her eye thingy.
>"No fair!" Koishi complains, "I'm supposed to be the one poking people's eyes! Especially if it belongs to a certain someone I know..."

>We shouldn't take any more risks concerning separating us and Renko, and just stick with Reimu until things get safer.

>Didn't Reimu say she had a friend living on the Forest ? Maybe we can ask her to come with us so we don't disturb the investigation.

>Reimu said she'd meet up with us later, and I'm sure she still wants to stick around us; especially after Renko was targeted. Mostly because we sorta need protection since that powerful youkai is interested in us. We could probably use this to our advantage, if we really wanted to.
