>"I think I should to go to some other places today, but I'd like to see your home sometime. Where can I find it, if I go into the bamboo?
>If she has trouble explaining, "If you don't think you can explain, then that's okay - we can just work out a way to meet later, once I'm done with a few other things. Where will you be this afternoon, and how would I be able to find you?"

>You...honestly don't know.
>"It's near the edge. Look for the big rock, then that way." she points west. "Until you see the flat rock, then look around a bit and you'll see it."
>"Oh. Um. I could be anywhere? Maybe where we met?"

>You check your stuff, and find it is all in order. Then you make your way back to Kourindou.
>Walking inside, you find things haven't really changed since you left. Rinnosuke is still there, reading his book. He glances up toward you and nods. "Maribel. and Tokiko, I see. How unusual. You've carried out the task, then?"

>You obtain: Messenger Bag
>It seems to be made to be slung over your shoulder. It's fairly large, you could probably fit a lot of stuff in it. There's a couple side pockets, too.

>You now have room for your stuff! You put the Branch in the bag, and find it much easier to carry the Box of Four Fire Lilies.
>"Likewise, Maribel" says Rinnosuke, as you depart.
>"You exit the shop, and head south, retracing your steps to and past Marisa's home. Up ahead, you see a small road splitting off to the west. It doesn't seem to be nearly so well traveled as the other. Obvious exits are North, South and East.
>More interestingly, you see someone approaching from the south; a green-haired woman in a red dress. You hear Tokiko, behind you, slip away into the woods.

>No, it does not seem to be Yuka. As she draws closer, her hair is longer and has a ribbon on top, as well as one joining her hair under her chin. Her dress is less casual, and more lacy as well.
