>"Say, didn't you gather some ashes of that entity Miko and her followers defeated ? Where have you stored them ? Do you plan to use them for something ?"
>How long have we been having this conversation ? We don't to make the Taoists wait too much.

>She looks at you for a moment, then says, "Oh! I completely forgot about that!" She hurriedly pulls out the little pouch and takes an empty bottle from the mess on the table. With surprising care, she starts to pour the contents into the bottle, which seems to have become a fine black sand, or perhaps more of a powder.

>"It does, doesn't it?" she says softly, doing her best to keep from breathing on it. Despite this, small puffs of it escape into the air, as one would expect of something with the consistency of flour.

>The two of you walk together in silence, you end up looking through the glass walls and observing the dirt through it. You think you pick out a snake hole along the wall at one point. Soon, you reach the stairs and Kotohime leads you upward, before opening the trap door. She gestures for you to pass by.
