>She leads you inside, along a wall of paper walls decorated with images of mountainscapes and bamboo in colored ink. The floors are made of wood, laid out in a tessellating pattern. You can hear activity around, down the halls and through the paper walls. Soon you come to an intersection, and the rabbit leads you to the right. You pass a few rooms before the hall ends in a doorway. "Wait here a moment," says the rabbit, as she approaches the door.
>She opens it and disappears inside for a moment. Then she emerges and says, "Okay, she'll see you."

>You walk inside, and find yourself in an office. A large desk dominates the room, covered with papers and objects that you can't quite identify. A heavy-looking counter runs along the walls to the right and the back of the room, with cabinets building underneath them and more build into the walls. More knickknacks you can't really make sense cover the countertops, though you do recognize one of the things as a modern of a normal human's anatomy. The walls here are solid wood, likely to be able to suppose those cabinets. A couple large wardrobe-like cabinets are placed at the edges of the counter. A folder screen blocks off the left half of the room.
>You see Eirin sitting at the desk, while Reimu, her clothing bearing some of the distinctive damage of a danmaku struggle, sits in a chair in front of it.
>"We meet again," says Eirin.

As for the other obvious major problem, I am making progress. I must request you leave solving it to me, however, due to the very unique nature of the problem."

At the very least, it gives the captured celestials a safer haven to return to, if Remilia cannot be convinced to relinquish them civilly. Are you concerned what will happen if left unchecked?"

>Yes. There was a village, and quite a few faeries of both Bhava-Agran and Gensokyoan origin.
>"I think it would be a good idea not to let her get too used to the idea of extending out like that," says Reimu. "I didn't care about the one over her mansion, and one over Kourindou is...a little bit of a worry. But more than, and there would definitely be a problem."
