>"What do you mean, 'it's always her'? Who's this 'her'?"

>"She is an annoying yet powerful youkai by the name of Yukari Yakumo. I'd advice against finding her, however. She is lazy, and since she travels through gaps in the boundaries that exist, finding her would take time you don't have."

>Patchouli slams her book shut and the maid comes back round; carrying a couple more books.
>"Everyone has an ability that can be hard to explain how it works if you have not spoken to the person about it." She continues as the maid drops the books next to her chair. "Whilst we may still recall what was once there, it is simply hidden from view to make it like it was never there. Whether she can do more than that, like remove it completely from our minds, is something I wouldn't mind finding out."

>Su-san takes note.

>Patchouli almost smirks when you mention Reita being the main shinigami.
>"He is indeed a special one; for reasons I can't say since he himself has said that The Yama forbids him. However, you must understand that he has two moods, if you will. One mood is him being serious; he thinks something is right but isn't fully sure if it's right. In this mood, he can sometimes contradict himself and makes assumptions based on it. You have to be careful with how you word things; his mood can flip even on his better days."
>Patchouli takes a deep breath; no coughing this time.
>"His other mood is deadly serious; no-pun-intended. His stance and behaviour will normally match this. In that mood, he is always right; so you had best pray you don't find yourself facing him like that."

>She throws her previously closed book into the pool and...
>It vanishes from sight.
>"OWWWW!"

>...

>"I've beat a shinigami before, so I'm not too worried."
>Frown at the pool, and try to figure out what happened.

>Frown at the pool, and try to figure out what happened.

>Patchouli rises from her chair for a second and dusts down her gown.
>"As I mentioned earlier, each shinigami is some what different. It would be best if you heed that warning."

>The maid comes flying back over to Patchouli as you glance down at the pool.
>"Patchouli! How many tim..."
>"I thought you might have caught on by now, Meiling."
>Patchouli sighs as she sits back down again; coughing a little as the maid, Meiling, holds the book that had just vanished a few seconds ago.

>"What's the deal with that pool, anyway?"

>You have to ask; you just have to!

>"It's-nothing-special-really. Just trying different experiments using some interesting spells. Because a large amount of magic has been used on it lately, throwing anything that is not magic, and also inanimate, will cause it to shift to a random location in the library."
>"My assistant, Koakuma, would usually retrieve these along with her usual duties. However..."
>Meiling waves at you; almost to finish off Patchouli's sentence after she coughs madly.
>"Ugh..."

>"What about magical or, uh, animate stuff?"
>She seems kinda sickly...

>Patchouli is still coughing, so Meiling replies.
>"Well, you'd get wet of course... Well, if the pool was in a normal condition..."
>You see a fairy float over and Meiling starts to panic a little; but sighs when it goes away from the pool.

>"If anyone touched it right now, they'd be thrown back by a barrier of sorts. And if you throw spells at the pool... Well, you saw that result earlier."
>Patchouli finally stops coughing and nods in agreement.
>She must not be that healthy...

>"Sounds like it's a real problem. Can't you drain it or soak it all up with some dirt or something?"

>Patchouli glances at the pool and whirls her hand about.
>Almost in response, the pool begins to light up; exerting a lot of energy.
>In a few seconds, the light separates; sending out a wave of magic and energy through the library. You hear the odd shriek of what were presumably the fairies in the library, but it soon stops.

>"As you can see, it's easily dealt with. Now it can be used as a pool again."
>Almost on cue, a fairy dives into it.

>You... don't know. It's not something you've tried.

>Her methods of having fun are quite intriguing. Least she lives up to her title of magician.

>Patchouli nods; looking at some of the fairies that had started to gather round.
>"Well, one, from what I recall, lives in a cave of sorts. I wouldn't be able to pin-point the exact location of it; but if you see a bucket fly at you, you'll be in the right place."
>"As for the other one..." She looks back at you. "Do you really want to go to THAT garden?"

>Meiling glances around; she looks pretty serious all of a sudden.

>"If it means not getting shanked by a shinigami, then I'll have to risk it. But I think I'd rather try to find that cave girl first, if you're that afraid of her."

>"Can you at least give me the general location of that cave?"

>"That, at least, sounds like a good plan. Since I wasn't the one who actually went to the cave, you'll have to ask..."
>Patchouli pauses like she just remembered something important. She promptly face-palms and looks back at you.

>"On second thought... Perhaps seeing the Flower Youkai would be better off. If Reimu is after you, I'm pretty certain that Marisa will be after you too."
>The fairies, upon hearing Marisa's name, immediately fly away from you all; going deeper into the library and out of sight.
>"Yeah, to have both of the 'incident solvers' after you is pretty bad." Meiling laughs slightly; almost in an attempt to lighten the mood a little.

>The more you hear about it, the more you're sure it's that green-haired lady from the flower field. Su-san twitches at the thought of her smile.

>"As is natural for someone who spends their time with dolls."

>"She doesn't usually do much outside of her house and keeps to herself quite a bit. If anything, Marisa's usually the one to bring out something in her. Either way, she shouldn't be too much of a problem; certainly-better-then-any-other-candidates."

>Meiling beats Patchouli to this one.

>"I-thought-that-might-have-at-least-changed-a-little..."
