You have any other friends in there that live by themselves, maybe? I know there's that one green-haired youkai with antennae who I saw in Kourindou tonight. I presume she lives in the area."

I'm 99% sure the force that she claims is working behind her, the one she refuses to talk about, is the party responsible for what has happened to Gensokyo's economy, but she claims this force will know the instant she admits it and that will get her in a huge amount of trouble. It sounds like this force also asked her to steal my cards - she said she had been told to do it, but didn't say who asked."

Apparently she lost my cards in the kerfuffle at the human village this afternoon, right after coming out of the tavern. This is why she's hiding here - she was supposed to deliver those cards, so she couldn't complete the errand."
