>Nod. "Some are going to Minoriko, she wants a sample. The rest...well, we'll see how much daylight I have left. There are a few places they could go..."
>"The people we pondered before. I might get Yuyuko and Youmu, maybe Sakuya if it's late? It remains to be seen.">After a moment, add, "Want to come along?"
>"Sure thing."
>Give her time to prepare.
>"Care to fly along, or shall I carry you?"
>Nod, then lift Marisa up and settle her on our shoulder, using that arm to hold her steady. Resist the urge to snicker at 'overpowering' Marisa so easily. >Back to the Aki's forest! They'll find us soon enough.
>"Beat up where? No, not at all."
>"Even better, I didn't fight her at all. But just being near her when she used a spellcard was...dangerous. Enough to take me off my feet, from a distance."
>You always were they bloodthirsty one. But no, she took on a number of oni, and levelled a more than a few buildings in the process.
>"Oh, they loved every minute of it, as far as I could see. Ah, there is Minoriko!">Approach! >"I'm sorry for the wait, we have some mushrooms for you."
>"That would be where your expertise comes in, I think."
>"It was what we discussed earlier."
>"You said you needed a sample. A pair should be a sufficient sample, right?"
>Nod as well, and hand them over.
>"Thank you," I say. "Since mushrooms are kind of unpredictable, I'll check back sometime tomorrow? Maybe get an idea of how quickly we can expect them to come up."
