>Past Hakurei, huh? Well...we can do that.
>Head northward.
> How convenient for you!
> You go north, and soon reach a dirt path. Well, it'd be more accurate to call it a
mud path. The rain has turned it into a squelchy mess that you end up walking along the side of, lest your feet get sucked in.
> The bathhouse comes into view, and you can see that the lights are on inside. Past that is more forest, an orchard, and the Hakurei Shrine. The pond looks bigger than last time, but you're sure it'll go back to normal after the rain stops. A couple of youkai dart across the orchard with their bags over their heads, shrieking with laughter all the way to the bathhouse entrance.
