>"Hello. Who may you be?"

>"I'm Chen," says the Nekomata, frowning and flattening her ears a little. "Did I do something wrong, because I did what what you said and they said I could have those peaches..."

>"Oh, okay," says Chen, her ears perking back up. "Miss Yukari really liked the peaches, by the way. Thank you for them!"

> "Wait, Yukari?"

>She smiles in reply.
>"Yep! She's my master's master."
>Well, she seems to be connected to Yukari, so there are things you could ask there. Aside from that, you probably need to do more digging to know what she could tell you about.

>Chen nods. "Miss Yukari does that sometimes before she goes to sleep. She wants to soak up the sun. Which is really weird because she says she likes it better at night. But Miss Yukari does weird things no one else understands because she's so smart sometimes, so it's okay." She nods.

>Chen nods. "Well, she wants to kiss that human girl looks like her who moved in down the road," she says with a small frown. "That's pretty weird."
>Your meetings with Ran are mostly limited to passing her by on her errands at town, and the time Yukari summoned her on you during that encounter. You know her to be well regarded in the village, which is an uncommon thing for a youkai and speaks well of her.

>"I don't know why they do," says Chen, "But I almost got fooled once. And that's just how Miss Yukari is. Ran-sama told me not to worry about it too much, as long as everyone is happy."
>You ask her about odd shadows. "Ummm. I don't know," says Chen. "What do you mean by not quite right?"

>"Okay, you too!" says Chen. She waves as you depart.
>You heard toward the western part of the village, drawing close to the edge of the forest. There are a few houses here, mainly along the riverfront. Cattails and other river plants are thick off the meandering road here, you note that some patches seem to be arranged in loose rows, making some ersatz fences. Here and there, you also see the odd cucumber patch. It doesn't take long to see Tenshi among the leafy plants, frowning at them as she picks her way through.
