Going to bed. If Yamame's around, see if we can't find out where she was.

>You take to the air and head back toward the surface. It's an easy and peaceful trip without the bridge princess or any muggers to get in the way. Shame it takes something big to make things so friendly. Passing though the web chamber, you don't note anyone around. You have a suspicion the last person to pass through here was you.

>You finish the rest of the trip to the surface, and swear that the sky has grown a little stormier. Looking around, you can see quite a few faeries over the forest, racing to and fro, between intermittent spats of danmaku play. They don't seem to be paying much attention to you.
>You make your way toward Mystia's Stand, periodically having to dodge around racing faeries, who seem to regard you as an obstacle more than anything else. It takes you a bit more time than it normally would to get to the stand as a result. Looking down, you can't see through the tree cover, but you imagine the stand is deserted. However, Mystia's house peaks just through a trees, easily visible now that you're close by.

>Possibly Kanako, you recall well that rain is one of her primary domains.
>You descend down to see a sizable, squarish house made mostly of daub and wattle with wooden framing. A think, peaked roof pokes up through the canopy every so slightly, while curtained windows dot here and there. The front door stands near a little porch flanked with some kind of leafy plant. Obvious exits are east and west.

>Just as most doors do. People figured out a long time ago that if the door swings outward, the hinges are outside. Which means it's very easy to cut the hinges.
>You glance toward the stand, and despite the foliage in the way, see that no one is there.

I've also gone over culprit ideas with Satori, and it made me realize that I don't know a whole lot about who lives here, because no one I could think of makes much of any sense. Do you know anyone in this area that might have a whole bunch of books, or maybe is just a big fan of books or something?
