>"You'd be surprised what people forget," says Ran. "You might find something spectacular out there."

There was something here once. Wonder what...

>"Perhaps," says Ran. "And rest assured, she won't give up for some time."

>"Oh, I met Reisen last night. What was this treasure she found?"

>"A set of gems, with a very storied history to them," says Ran. "They are rather powerful artifacts, actually. Reisen found and bonded herself with one of them, then set out after the rest. Typically they'll float around her, but she tends to keep them in her pockets so people don't ask questions."

>"Simply, the current one only goes so far back," says Ran. "I'm hoping that if I could find the old one, we'll find that it picks up the sequence of dates where the current one leaves off."

Yukari seemed... rather pleased that we'd be living close by. Although... distance really wouldn't matter to her in the first place, would it?
