>"Thanks, I'll uh, go take this to Patchouli."
>Did we have any other business on the mountain?

[It's Purvis!]

>"Thanks, I'll uh, go take this to Patchouli."
>Did we have any other business on the mountain?

>You recieve: Blessed Lilypapd
>Do you?

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Who knows, it's been a long day.
>Leave awkwardly.

[It's Purvis!]

>Who knows, it's been a long day.
>Leave awkwardly.

>It certainly has been.
>You make your way toward the front of the shrine, as Suwako hops back into her pond. Sanae walks along with you. "How is Patchouli doing these days?" she says. "We haven't seen her in, well, ages, really."

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"I'm surprised you've seen her at all, she seems to mostly just stay cooped up in her library."

[It's Purvis!]

>"I'm surprised you've seen her at all, she seems to mostly just stay cooped up in her library."

>"Once in awhile," Sanae says, "She'll forget why she hates being outdoors enough to try an experience it again. She's done us a fair amount of good, honest. More than you'd think for one who angrily denies the gods in general."

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Huh, I guess you can't judge a book by the cover."

>_

> " I can also relay any message ,advices and the like to her for you,since I am on my way back to her, if you have any ".

[It's Purvis!]

>"Huh, I guess you can't judge a book by the cover."

>"Oh, she's an absolute grumpypants," says  Sanae. "But I think she only does that because she likes it, not because she's as mean as she acts."

> " I can also relay any message ,advices and the like to her for you,since I am on my way back to her, if you have any ".

>"...Hm, well," says Sanae. "You could tell her we've gotten a nice mahjong set, and she's welcome to come join us for a game. The only reliable fourth we have is Wriggle, and she's only here every so often."

>_

> " Mmmh? So Patchouli always had,or maybe has developed,a soft spot for competitive tabletop games or just a special place for Mahjong ?"

[Yaersulf]

>"Seeing as you've been so helpful, maybe I could fill in every now and then for you."
>Do we have much experience with mahjong?

[It's Purvis!]

> " Mmmh? So Patchouli always had,or maybe has developed,a soft spot for competitive tabletop games or just a special place for Mahjong ?"

>"I don't know," says Sanae, "I was just thinking it would be nice to extend the offer if she did."

>"Seeing as you've been so helpful, maybe I could fill in every now and then for you."
>Do we have much experience with mahjong?

>You were sealed away before mahjong was invented. It is complex and terrifying. Might be fun to learn, though?

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Though, you'd have to teach me how to play. I'm not up to date with all these new modern games."

[It's Purvis!]

>"Though, you'd have to teach me how to play. I'm not up to date with all these new modern games."

>"Oh it's simple, you're just matching sets of three and number sequences," she says. "We could work you in, easy."
>You've seen oni gamble over it. It is not that simple.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Tentatively say "Alright, I'll come back after I'm done with all this and give it a go. That is unless I get stuck in some alternate reality or something."

[It's Purvis!]

>Tentatively say "Alright, I'll come back after I'm done with all this and give it a go. That is unless I get stuck in some alternate reality or something."

>"Well, try not to do that," Sanae says. "It would be a pain to have to dig you out.'

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Good to know someone would come looking for me at least."

[It's Purvis!]

>"Good to know someone would come looking for me at least."

>"That's not true," says Tojiko. "I'm sure your friends at the temple would do their best. And maybe we'd even offer to help? I wouldn't presume to speak definitely for the Crown Prince, but I am sure she is too noble to simply allow a rival to vanish ignominiously."

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Yeah, there are a decent amount of people that'd come chasing after me aren't there. I'd rather they don't have to though, so let's get this sorted out."

[It's Purvis!]

>"Yeah, there are a decent amount of people that'd come chasing after me aren't there. I'd rather they don't have to though, so let's get this sorted out."

>"Exactly," says Sanae, as the three of you reach the main shrine again.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Thanks again for your help, hopefully next time we meet it's because this is all sorted out and I'm here to be taught Mahjong."
>Head back to the cable car.

[It's Purvis!]

>"Thanks again for your help, hopefully next time we meet it's because this is all sorted out and I'm here to be taught Mahjong."
>Head back to the cable car.

>"Bye!" Sanae calls, waving.
>Getting into the next car, you and Tojiko settle down. Within a few moments, as you start to descend downward, Stargazer emerges again and goes to poke her head through the side of the car and watch the scenery, radiating curiosity and enjoyment.
>"So what's our next step?" says Tojiko.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Let's take this back to Patchouli, and if we don't think of anything better to do by the time we're done with that we might as well go try and bug Yukari."
>Look over at Stargazer.
>"She certainly knows something, seeing as it was thanks to her that we got Stargazer out of there."

[It's Purvis!]

>Look over at Stargazer.
>"She certainly knows something, seeing as it was thanks to her that we got Stargazer out of there."

>"Unless it was a shot in the dark on her part," says Tojiko. "But that seems like a good idea."

>_

[Yaersulf]

>"Alright, let's set course for the SDM."
>Wait for the cable car to reach its' destination.

[It's Purvis!]

>"Alright, let's set course for the SDM."
>Wait for the cable car to reach its' destination.

>You let the cable car work its way down the mountain. At one point, you glance out the window and see another car passing by, with a lone occupant inside. A youkai with short green hair and and antennae. That aside, the trip passes fairly unremarkably, and soon enough you are able to step off onto the station at the base of the mountain.

[Yaersulf]

>Re-cactus Stargazer and fly to the SDM.

[Branneg Xy]

>Re-cactus Stargazer and fly to the SDM.

> Politely but Intently  Feel and ask Stargazer ,explainig  certainly she can attach and support to us especially in-fly Outside the Enchanted Cactus since she enjoyed being Air-Lifted  and being Air-Carried by the Car-structure Cable-Ropeway in the car ...

>..So explian now or later or wheneve rshe wants to experience a bit of herself able to float and fly a bit some meters or more, wecan start to take off amore slowly and balanced ,since she has no body or corporeal form meaning it should be easier has seen Underwater .

> In case she weants prepares or make a Quest Note or Assist Note.

> That Signed Oath brought by the Chief Maid Sakuya(and part-Time and special incident Resolver)between (Chief Monk) Byakuren's Myourens Buddhists and Crown Prince's (Head-Hermit Royal-Orig in)Taoists, has it been extant, persisting,acknowledged is believed? It truthfully should and ought to be regarded and be reconciliatory though not lazy or  sedative or competition. 

>After Stargazer replied or is  mulling: ask the same to Tojiko.

>Sagaciously but : " Say Tojiko we 2 or 3 ,with any help, really should find some sort of directly or inderictly being helped by Sakya and Yukari...if we aree able to find Mayohiga or her in mayohiga... which has now this additional Connection through her and the mansion"

>Once you step out of the cable car, you ask Stargazer if she wants to fly along or return to her cactus; without hesitation she chooses the latter and slips back into the cactus.
>"I honestly have no idea where Mayohiga is," Tojiko says with a shrug. "But I imagine we can probably find it if we retrace your steps."

>Re-cactus Stargazer and fly to the SDM.

>The trip back to Scarlet Devil Mansion is fairly uneventful; the trip over the early autumn forest is pleasant enough, though. Here and there you catch sight of some danmaku, it seems the faeries are getting a bit playful.
>Landing near the mansion gates, Meiling waves to you.

>_

[Yaersulf]

>Wave back and approach.
>"I'm here to see Patchouli again. How's the gate treating you?"
