MYOUREN TEMPLE: A BUDDHIST SECT RESIDENT TO GENSOKYO, LED BY BYAKUREN HIJIRI. RECENTLY REBUILT FOLLOWING AN ACCIDENT A FEW YEARS PRIOR WHERE THE SHIP THE TEMPLE WAS BUILT UPON CRASHED INTO A LAKE.
The Myouren temple is within an hour's walk. A trip to the Palace would involve walking through the underground tunnels past several dangerous youkai and is not recommended.
> There are about half-a-dozen noteworthy lakes surrounding the Mountain of Youkai. They are unnammed, so your internal systems refer to them simply as lakes A to F. The largest of these, Lake C, is almost right next to this store.
> "Well...sure."
Nitori frowns slightly. All that talk, and no money.
"Anyway, when Sango gets her job done she's usually hanging around the lake just down there."
She points towards the entrance, to where Lake C is.
>Add note: Research how Current Dolphin clears the lakes, try to replicate to replace her
>Current Dolphin's purifying powers depend mainly on the two magical vials she carries on her person. One alters the lakes between saltwater and freshwater, and the other removes any impurities that are held within. Both of these should be easy enough to manipulate, but the issue is how these chemicals are created; it seems that Current Dolphin makes them magically herself, which would obviously be very difficult for you to replicate unless the LOLI engine steps in.
>"What other allies does Current Dolphin possess? Myu~♥."
>"You mean friends, right?"
Your vocabulary is now starting to seriously concern Nitori. She knows a good bit about machinery, and you seem to know a little TOO much for a girl your age...and you don't have the magical power of a youkai, either.
"...If friends is what you mean, there aren't many people who visit Sango regularly. It's more or less only the Komeiji sisters. Satori does it regularly every week, and brings two of her pets along as well - not today, though. Koishi...no-one really knows when she's gonna turn up. She has a habit of appearing when she's either least wanted or most needed. Sometimes both at once."
