Seija Quest 4

> "So it feels like the list of people that fit everything we know should be pretty short. But I'm not exactly a socialite, so..."
> "Who else is running for mayor? The green-white told me earlier, but I wouldn't mind a refresher."

> "Who else is running for mayor? The green-white told me earlier, but I wouldn't mind a refresher."

> Keine explains "As far as I know Rinnosuke, Mamizou, and Unshou are competing for the position, in addition to Akyuu running for reelection."

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Okay, that's about what I remember. Based on some investigating we did yesterday, it seems unlikely that the curio shopkeeper is responsible. I guess the current mayor might have some reason to sabotage her own re-election campaign, but that also seems pretty unlikely, and based on where she was last night, I'm pretty sure she couldn't possibly have been here at the time when the culprit fled the library. So that leaves the other two as the likeliest options."

> Keine and Yuyuko agree "Then you should probably head out to investigate them today."

[Kilgamayan]

> "That's the goal once those other two get back, yeah."

[Tom]

> "That's the goal once those other two get back, yeah."

> Some time passes and Sanae arrives along with Kosuzu!
> Kosuzu asks "You needed my help with something today?"

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod and stand up (carefully enough that we don't smash our head on the chandelier). Judge how far up on us Kosuzu comes at her current height.
> "You see the two non-Yakumo statues here? We have good reason to believe they were reading an alchemy book when they were victimized. We were hoping you could go over this library and find where the book should be, if not find the book itself."

> Kosuzu gives an odd look at your newfound height.
> The book shop employee agrees and searches through the shelves for a while before pointing to a spot on top of other vertically arranged books, pointing out "Notice the lack of dust over these books. There must've been a book placed horizontally here."
> The innkeeper adds "There is a lack shelf space, so some materials get stacked wherever there's free space..."

[Kilgamayan]

> How high up on us does Kosuzu come? Chest, waist, somewhere lower?
> Is Kosuzu small enough that we could grab her with one hand, wrapping our fingers around her?

[Tom]

> How high up on us does Kosuzu come? Chest, waist, somewhere lower?
> Is Kosuzu small enough that we could grab her with one hand, wrapping our fingers around her?

> About below your chest.
> You'd be unable to enter almost any indoor area if you were be big enough to do that!

[Kilgamayan]

> Given the current height difference, are we 'blessed' enough that we could meaningfully rest our chest on her head?
> There are still three other people in this room (plus the two Irises), yes? Or has anyone left?

> In our experience, how long does the Mallet take to fully replenish itself when it runs out of energy?

[Tom]

> Given the current height difference, are we 'blessed' enough that we could meaningfully rest our chest on her head?
> There are still three other people in this room (plus the two Irises), yes? Or has anyone left?

> In our experience, how long does the Mallet take to fully replenish itself when it runs out of energy?

> Not blessed enough!
> You perceive in the immediate vicinity: Keine, Sanae, Kosuzu, Iris x2, Mokou (P), Shinmyoumaru (P), Yukari (P).

> It depends on how much one has asked from it.

[Kilgamayan]

> Bah, that's no fun. Oh well, perhaps if we get her alone later and we still have the mallet...
> With one hand on the Princess and the other on the mallet, undo the height wish we made previously so we go back to our original height.
> "Okay. So either the book dropped somewhere in here, or the perpetrator took it with them when they ran."

> "Okay. So either the book dropped somewhere in here, or the perpetrator took it with them when they ran."

> The mallet is indeed helpful!
> You return to your usual height, and everyone finally stops staring at you oddly!
> Kosuzu thinks for a moment "If I was trying to stop someone, I'd surely take the book!"

[Kilgamayan]

> "That would make the most sense. So then the question becomes whether or not any of us have some way of locating it."

[Tom]

> "That would make the most sense. So then the question becomes whether or not any of us have some way of locating it."

> With a sigh Keine admits "Things walk away from the study all the time... and on occasion they end up at Kourindou."
> Kosuzu raises her arms as if saying "What are you looking at me for?"
> In a positive tone Sanae points out "Sometimes not having something is more useful than having it! As it'll all but confirm a suspect's involvement if we do run into it!"
