>Pettanko Panama: Hm... that's weird. How'd Yukari get that gap for mini-suika up so fast? Maybe she was prepared beforehand. Ah well.
>Yeah, probably.
>Stretch and head... uh, right.
>"Which way's Yuyuko right now, anyways?"
>Yukari whispers "Near the southern foot of Youkai Mountain. I don't think you would be able to find Koishi, though, due to her invisibility."
>Upon being pointed in the right direction, proceed. Have a few micro-suiks fan out to help search.
>You are currently considering what Yukari just pointed out. You sure you still want to do this?
>Damn, no panties retrieved. Next time, Gadget!
>Maybe next time.
>Lacertid Lacerator: Frown. Knock. "Oi! Anyone there? The Yama wants the crow for something."
>You know, and Rin opens the door. "Hello? Oh, it's you."
>Try not to think about beating some sense back into Eiki.
>You try not to think about doing so, but that may be just what she...nah. Urgh, the idea's still in your head.
>How many of our cards are usable at the moment? Did we leave any at home or anything?
>You have 6 spellcards right now, all ready to be used. You left most of yours at home, because you can't stuff very many into your pocket.
>Rodentius: Seriously? No one asked about Koishi yet?
>If Purvis has forwarded more of Yuyuko talking to herself, ask, "Koishi? She's here?"
>Purvis has indeed forwarded what Yuyuko's been saying.
>Wait, you hear Kilga say "Koishi? What would she be doing here?"
>At what point in the narration has Purvis reached, following that command?
>"Point in narration"?
>Pryor Yuyukans: "Oh, that's a good point, Yukari. Really rather a pity she's gotten so upset..."
>Though the poor dear didn't ask to be born that way...
>Poor Koishi.
>You hear Maribel says "Koishi? What would she be doing here?"
>Shiki: "Well, I was hoping that everyone would take action more quickly. And as for Koishi running, the intent was to use Yuyuko and, especially, Suika to herd her to me. But if we can't find her in the first place, we can't do that."
>"Exactly. You'd have to bring Kanako, and from what I've seen she's enjoying some sleep from blessing people. ...Are you actually going to do that?"
>"Koishi hasn't had time to get very far. Yukari, check as wide of an area around Yuyuko's position as you can, see if you can find anything."
>"I would try manipulating the border of visibility and invisibility, but in the state my gap powers are in, I can't. If I use a gap to see into the area normally, I'd be able to find Koishi as well any anybody else would."
>Damn it, this is not good. We were going to give Koishi the time she needed, but no, the voice had to be too impatient for that, and now everything's going to-wait. The voice is...
>No. Bad idea. It can't be trusted.
>But...
>No.

"Heh."
