You decide to stick around. Best to let the shopkeep bring out the map if he has one before doing anything else.

While you wait, you look around for any other useful items. No success there. Luckily, the old man running the shop comes back out with a smile on his bearded wrinkly face. "I found the map you were looking for. This has been in storage for a while now; nobody seems interested in maps these days. Since I need to get rid of it eventually, I think I'll sell it to you cheap for 500 yen."

Setting a 1,000-yen bill on the table, the man takes the bill then hands you your change and map. "Like I said, whatever you need," he says.

With the map of Youkai Mountain now in your possession, you head back outside. Best to check in on the progress with defrosting Kyouko.

The cosmic forces that cause action in the universe agree with you wholeheartedly.

You determine it best to head back to the Mausoleum. It'd be good to see how Kyouko's doing, after all. The trip to the Mausoleum is altogether uneventful. Things seem to get interesting again as you're about to enter though. One of the Taoists leaps into your view as though she'd been hiding in waiting for you. With one finger pointed directly at your and another pointed at the sky for some reason you can't quite understand, the Taoist speaks. At the very least, you have to give her credit for her enthusiasm.

"Hold there, thou Buddhist fiend! Within here is the Crown Prince herself! I'd be but a failure of her follower were I to allow thee entry merely as thou pleases!"

>While on our way to our destination, keep an eye out for any other interesting buildings in the village.

You didn't see anything interesting on the way here.

Seems like you lost her at "One of our monks is in there." As you're finishing up your sentence, the Taoist before starts flailing her arms about in a manner that was probably meant to be intimidating but instead comes off as hilarious. It may be a little twisted of you, but you think her screeching verbal reaction only adds to the hilarity.

"Buddhists within the Mausoleum! What unthinkable atrocities hast thine Temple's fiends prepared whilst our backs were turned away!? Thou shalt never take us whilst we still draw breath!" In what you're unsure if it's panic or rage, the Taoist in question flees to the inside of the Mausoleum.

Quote from: Namusour

>Which one is this one now?

You're pretty sure that was Mononobe no Futo. The dialect really helped tip it off.

Without any other real option if you still want to check up on Kyouko, you step inside the Mausoleum. The place is pretty straightforward for a short while. Then it gets confusing. The hallway you're in splits off three ways; left, right, and straight.

That would have been a good idea, yes.

Quote from: Tapsa

>Left. Always left.

Determining that the answer is always left, even if it's not right, you turn left. All over the Mausoleum's walls are scrolls and tapestries with very eloquent yet sharp calligraphy. You don't bother reading them; quite possibly just Taoist propaganda.

Quote from: Tapsa

>Tread with caution, we are alone in hostile territory.

You take extra care as you wait for the next (if any) crossing of halls. After all, this is your sworn enemy's lair, and you're all alone. However, seems you don't find another crossing. Just a door at the end of the hall.

Reaching into your pocket, you grab your four spellcards. It would be great if you found out just who took the fifth, since it was your strongest one.

Quote from: bigyihsuan

>Knock.

You knock on the door, ready for a fight if it's a Taoist raring to go. But no. You don't see the person immediately, but the things on the wall behind her are indication enough. Judging by the plethora of Noh masks on the wall, and the long pink hair of the person before you, facial recognition wouldn't even be necessary to know it's Kokoro.

"Oh, hello again."

We should probably stick around this time. I don't feel comfortable leaving a helpless Kyouko in what is essentially enemy central.
For that matter, why'd we leave in the first place?

Seems that way. There's also a book near a futon laid out on the floor, but that's about it.

"You got the wrong room," Kokoro stated matter-of-factly. "Are you lost?"

Quote from: Namusour

Went to get a map of Youkai Mountain.

"Follow me." And then Kokoro began back down the way you came, checking now and then to make sure you were still following her. At the time you reach the four-way split that got you to her room to begin with, Kokoro asks "So why did you leave to begin with?"

Quote from: Namusour

I agree wholeheartedly, but what's done is done, lol

"I doubt she's already thawed; Shoutoku-sama said it wasn't a quick process to begin with." She seems to drop your poor reason, though, and speaks up with another question.

"How's everybody else at the Temple doing recently? I'm planning to switch back there soon, but staying caught up is never a bad thing."

Quote from: bigyihsuan

>Follow Kokoro.

You continue to follow Kokoro as she continues her way through the halls of the Dream Palace Mausoleum.

There are. More than you recall the last time you were here. Did the Mausoleum change layout or something?

Quote from: bigyihsuan

You make sure to keep an eye on which way Kokoro turns at each junction. Getting lost here is not on your to-do list.

Quote from: Tapsa

"I see. Should we find some way to attach the pagoda to Shou? Maybe then she won't lose it so much."
