>Kogasa is a bit smaller, Nitori is about the same, if not a bit larger.

>"Heh, Kogasa weighs a ton," says Tenshi as you set her down.
>You attempt to pick up Kogasa. If Tenshi was like a block of lead, then Kogasa is more like dense wood or something, heavy enough to be unpleasant.
>Tenshi helps Nitori up, then rather unceremoniously slings the kappa over her shoulder.

>You make your way toward the stream. Thankfully, very thankfully, it is not a long walk. As you arrive, you see the box, set near a number of fairly leafy bushes.

>Tenshi follows suit, and you're rather happier for her not dropping Nitori like said rice.

>Your arms are a bit tingly right now. Hopefully that'll go away without incident.
>After Tenshi goes away, you hear the bush rustle, as the Poltergeist steps from around a tree. "It has been getting harder and harder to hide as the leaves fall away," she says.

>She nods. "I shall hope it's good enough."
>The poltergeist stands between them, concentrating. As you watch, the tree shadow she was casting shifts and changes, shrinking as it trunk splits in half and its branches condense together. Soon the tree is gone, having shifted into the overlapping shadows of Nitori and Kogasa. They separate, both bending toward their respective owners. As they touch their owners, they separate from the poltergeist and quickly shift into proper positions, as if the angle of the light hand changed. Watching this, you only catch the poltergeist dashing away out of the corner of your eye.
