> "This is a bit of a quandary, then. I will admit that our people could stand to get all the extra meals they can get, as I do not know how plentiful our food stores are after our home's fall. I have struck a deal with the harvest goddess, which should help us significantly, but still, every meal purchased from Gensokyo is a meal that does not use Bhava-Agra's limited resources."

>"Seeya, buddy!" says Yamame, while you note Tenshi giving you a little wave.
>Continuing out, you find the tunnel leading to the surface is fairly narrow, and really offers no place for Kisume to hide; still you stay wary and soon find yourself under open skies without any incident. It is dark now and the stars twinkle overhead.

>They are both pretty close to each other; and a bit of a distance from here. You should be able to get to Kourindou, the nearer of the two, without too much trouble, if things stay peaceful.

Slight detour, just to tie up the Aya loose end.

> Take flight and head to Kourindou. Let our charge dissipate for a bit, but start building it again as we get close.
> As we get close, take out Aya's camera, turn it on, then put it back in our purse.

>As you open the door, you see Aya leaning against the wall, arms crossed. She moves to a less relaxed position, standard away from the wall and giving you the indication that she's ready to flee at any moment. "Are you alone?" she says.
>"I shall take this opportunity to remind you," says Rinnosuke, looking up from a book he is reading at the counter, "This is a neutral meeting place. Should anyone take hostile actions, they will find they will be regretting it for rest of their life."
