A HEINOUS CRIME!>"Near that forest at the Hakurei shrine. That's where I last saw her. Will you help, please?"
>"It depends, I mean, it would be much easier to track her if I had something she owned, so I can get her scent. Visual tracking is difficult, and the recent rain would've washed away most visual evidence by now." she replies, "Anyway, as long as you promise to repay me later, I would not mind helping you at all."
>"I'll pitch in too, if you want." Sekibanki speaks up, "Of course, I would like half of whatever Kagerou gets if you want my help..."
>"As if you're ever getting half of my payment!" the wolf girl frowns.
>"But aren't we members of the same organization? It's only natural that we share the spoils..."
>"Fine, if she wants you to help, you can get a portion of the reward, but remember that since everyone in the group apparently 'shares the spoils', you'll only get what's left after Wakasagihime, those Tsukumogami, the other members of the network, and - gods forbid - Seija, get their shares."
>"Oh fine... Keep it a private matter if you want then. Honestly, I don't care, I just wanted to mess with you a bit." she pauses, "Whelp, I think I'll just head home then. See you at the next meeting?"
>"Of course."
>Sekibanki flies away from the clearing.
>Examine Chen
>Chen looks like a child or at most a young teenager. She has a pair of brown cat ears on her head, a gold ring is being worn on one of them. A green hat lies between them. She is wearing a red dress with long, white sleeves, and a pair of slender cat tails protrude from her lower back.
>"Oh, and how unpolite of me ! I am Maribel and this cute little girl here is Chen, what is your name ?"
>"I'm Kagerou Imaizumi," the wolf girl replies, "nice to meet you."
