>Fair point.
>"Well, they're still worth a look, I'd say. Could you please get them for me?"
>While Kosuzu goes to get the books, if she actually leaves the desk, then tell Mamizou alone about our feeling and our underwater occurance.

>"Alright, I'll gather them for you," says Kosuzu.
>You take a moment to summarize what happened to Mamizou. The disguised Tanuki raises an eyebrow at first, then gapes as you describe the experience. "Hon, I have no idea what happened to you," she says. "I'd wager a goodly amount that no one's ever had that happen."

>Neither are north. Yukari is a toss up, she may or may not be interested in seeing you, or even around. The library requires, essentially, for you to get around the gate keeper. And perhaps curry Patchouli's good will.

>Hold on a second, has Kosuzu even returned with the books?

>You nearly just walk off. Man, remembering linear time is hard!
>Kosuzu arrives after a few moments, with an armload of books, which she puts on the table with a formidable thump.

>Hm, you aren't sure if the feeling changed, you were only there for a few moments, as was too busy being surprised. You don't think it got worse, at least, you would have remembered that.
>Glancing at the selection Kosuzu has brought you, it seems they are mostly books about various types of ghosts. You'd probably find something about ship ghosts in them, but you doubt that they would have anything especially in depth.
>As far as you know, the Myouren Temple and Scarlet Devil Mansion officially don't have any problems with each other. That could change, you imagine, if the Scarlet Devil got up to something, but for now things seem to be fine. By far the best known mansion resident at the temple is Sakuya, who sometimes comes to visit Rinnosuke. The others, you just don't see wandering much; though once or twice lately, Sakuya has brought the gatekeeper with her as well.

>Well, we don't need books specifically about ship ghosts, per say; the phenomenon happening to us isn't necessarily limited to our specific type of ghost. Do any of the books seem like they'd have in-depth information about general ghost details, rather than specific types of them?

Although honestly, my hopes aren't that high. We probably need a specialist; but most of those are... well. We certainly aren't going to hakugyokurou or higan. Yukari or the SDM seem like the most likely choices. Or, actually...

>It doesn't seem that way. At a glance, you get the feeling most of them were written by humans for humans. Actually, wait. this one has no title.
>You don't know Kasen, but you know of her. She is a busybody hermit who is sometimes seem around town.

>You take the title-less one. It seems to be of outside world quality, made with whatever techniques they use out there. Paging through it, it doesn't seem to be organized into chapters, but rather sectioned off into arbitrary bits. If it weren't for the fact it isn't handwritten, you would think this is a journal. It seems to be written like once as you glance through it. Hmm...it seems to make a lot of references of an old house, and smelling the hearts of passersby.
