Bear in mind that that's also dependent on the tsuchinoko staying unconscious. Byakuren is closer, so there's less of a chance of it waking up on us, but she probably won't want it anywhere near the granary...

With as much as it weighs, I'm willing to bet we will feel it start to stir, should that come up.

I also don't expect something that got completely knocked out to start stirring ten minutes later, though I guess I don't have much experience in that area.

>It seemed to be by chance. But you don't really know if it was truly chance, or she was simply acting like a deity.

>Tenshi nods and says, "Yeah."
>You take to the air and head toward Youkai Mountain. You keep a careful watch on the serpent you are carrying along the way. As you make your way from the forest toward Youkai Mountain, you pass by a sizable island floating over the fields between the human town and the road toward the mountain. Glancing at it, you confirm your suspicion that there is a modest settlement on it, spread out among a grassy field. There doesn't seem to be much activity.
>Soon, you reach the outskirts of the goddesses' forest. It is about as you remember it.

>You check the tsuchinoko again, and find it is still out cold. You would feel a bit sorry for it if not for the fact it is apparently a harvest ruiner. And indirectly have you a bad time with Tenshi.
>You approach Minoriko. "Ah, excellent work, Messenger," she says, not opening her eyes.
