>You have no idea how they'd react. You'd like to think that they probably did make a deal with Ichiro of some sort.

>"I'll be there," says Reimu. "If you could have some nice tea, as well, it'd be great of you."
>You depart, and head back toward the Myouren Temple. The trip is uneventful, the forest around the shrine is reasonably quiet now, and as you pass over town, you note that a lot of the activity has settled. As you draw near the temple, you note that Byakuren is no longer outside.

> "Reimudid list a few specific people that we should be wary of. She thinks Mystia might try to get some measure of vengeance, but I think we can talk her out of it. The tengu will probably send someone. She thinks it'll be Aya. who we can work with. All we need to do is convince her he didn't actually trespass on their land and they should be mostly satisfied. The Yama might be an issue if she finds out, but the ferrywoman didn't even know anything happened in the first place until I told her, so I don't think that'll be a problem. Yuuka will be an issue if she finds out who and where the culprit is, but I know I haven't told her either of those things. The biggest problem outside of the oni will be Remilia, who's probably gonna drop a few threats amidst a bunch of posturing, or something. Reimu has some ideas on how to appease here, so hopefully she'll be here if Remilia does show up."

>"I could see Remilia being problematic," says Byakuren, "She does maintain a complex sense of honor, and will not be happy until it's satisfied. And Yuka, yes, if she comes there will be a lot of trouble."
