> "I shall take your word for it. I certainly feel better than before I arrived here."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I shall take your word for it. I certainly feel better than before I arrived here."

>"These are proper burns, I'll say that much," says the doctor. "The muscle trauma will take a bit longer to work out. I assume something hit you while moving very quickly? And, then there's the constriction, and you're quite lucky that didn't cost you some ribs."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Correct on all accounts. I, ah, got a little reckless in our battle. Hermitry does provide a few physical benefits, though."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Correct on all accounts. I, ah, got a little reckless in our battle. Hermitry does provide a few physical benefits, though."

>"Apparently just enough benefits, in your case," says the doctor. "The good news is that those will heal with time."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah, that is good to know."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Ah, that is good to know."

>"Once I am satisfied with these burns, I'll apply something for those wounds," says the Doctor. "In the meantime, I want you to rest a little bit."

>_

[Monarda]

>"I understand."
>"What about my entourage ? How are their wounds ?"

[Kilgamayan]

>"What about my entourage ? How are their wounds ?"

> Instead of using 'entourage', say 'companions'.

>"What about my entourage ? How are their wounds ?"

> Instead of using 'entourage', say 'companions'.

>"They're in much better shape than you," says the doctor. "The ghost seems to be the worst off, she is just corporeal enough to to suffer the effects of physical trauma, and seems to have contracted some burns similar to your less severe ones. She'll be fine, the only tricky part is finding medicine that will actually work with her state of being. Seiga and the other one have just taken some battering, all they really needed was something for pain and some rest."

> "I see...I suppose this is less important than it was before we arrived here, but will any of us be well enough to travel to the Netherworld for a planned prior arrangement with its guardian?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "I see...I suppose this is less important than it was before we arrived here, but will any of us be well enough to travel to the Netherworld for a planned prior arrangement with its guardian?"

>"I wouldn't suggest that," says the doctor, "But I imagine you could if it's particularly important."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Another of our number is currently indisposed there, buried in the ground up to her neck. I wish for us to work together with them to retrieve her."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Another of our number is currently indisposed there, buried in the ground up to her neck. I wish for us to work together with them to retrieve her."

>"I assume you mean Yoshika?" says Eirin. "She is conspicuously missing from Seiga's side, and I thought it might have been a stretch to think she would leave Yoshika outside for sanitary reasons."

>_

[Monarda]

>"Yes, she ended there as a consequence of the inumerous events we've had today."

[Hello Purvis]

>"Yes, she ended there as a consequence of the inumerous events we've had today."

>"I wouldn't recommend it," says the doctor, "But I expect I can't stop you."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I must admit, you are unexpected familiar with my companions."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I must admit, you are unexpected familiar with my companions."

>"Seiga has paid us a social visit or two," says the doctor.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Ah, I see. Very good. Oh! Speaking of the Netherworld's guardian, she requested that we inquire about a red-haired woman named Kotohime, who claims to be Lunarian. Do you know of this person?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Ah, I see. Very good. Oh! Speaking of the Netherworld's guardian, she requested that we inquire about a red-haired woman named Kotohime, who claims to be Lunarian. Do you know of this person?"

>"Who?" says the doctor. "I've never heard of her."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Futo, did Miss Youmu give you any further detail about this matter?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "Futo, did Miss Youmu give you any further detail about this matter?"

>"Not particularly," says Futo. "If the doctor does not know her, then there wouldn't be much to follow upon."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I suppose that is true. The only other thing of note is that while she raised no objection to traveling here, once our party came close to the Bamboo First, she turned and sped away, and apparently broke into uncontrollable sobbing when caught. Miss Youmu has allegedly taken her home, wherever that may be."

>"I could only speculate on why," says the doctor. "I've certainly never heard of that particular case."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Then I suppose there is nothing to be done unless you are able to meet this person."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Then I suppose there is nothing to be done unless you are able to meet this person."

>"I would prefer not to make any house calls at this time of evening, short of an emergency," says the doctor. "But it could be arranged in the future. Hmmm, do you know if she plans to attend the mahjong tournament? I could certainly look her over there."

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "I do not know if she plans on actually participating, but I am fairly positive she will at least attend, yes."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I do not know if she plans on actually participating, but I am fairly positive she will at least attend, yes."

>"I'll see what I can do then," says Eirin.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> "Your graciousness is appreciated."

[Hello Purvis]

> "Your graciousness is appreciated."

>"So when are you expected to go unearth Yoshika?" she says.

>_

[Monarda]

>"Miss Konkapu, the half-ghost retainer went to leave Miss Kotohime at her home after she broke down on the way here, she is likely already waiting at the stairs leading to the entrance of the Netherworld, or else on her way there. As soon as we can leave here, my companions and i shall move there to dig Yoshika out."
