Insects of all kinds trill away just out of sight, and birds weave in their own tunes. Pleasantly cool under the canopy, it's easy to pretend that it's spring again.

> Is the tengu blockade usually serious enough to prevent even the passage of, say, fairies?

Otherwise getting a message out would be the best course of action. Under no circumstances do we go in as Sanae. That's just asking for so much trouble.

That'll be our way in, unless we have a means of getting in touch with Moriya that I don't know about.

>You take your Trident in hand and adopt a defensive stance. As long as you keep your distance, you can bat away just about anything. And if you do it just right, you can catch and disarm just about any kind of sword. But if they get close, things get difficult...
