> "That probably makes the most sense. For splitting up before then, as nice as it would be to visit little Kosuzu again, I have unfinished business with the blacksmith. If you're going to the bookstore, say hi to her for me."

> She states "Will do!" before stepping outside.
> Shinmyoumaru comments "I'll keep miss Saigyouji company and look up alchemy in the Inn's library."

[Kilgamayan]

> Nod.
> "Alright. I do think you'll want to talk to Kogasa at some point, though. Pay her a visit when you can."

[Tom]

> Nod.
> "Alright. I do think you'll want to talk to Kogasa at some point, though. Pay her a visit when you can."

> Shinmyoumaru agrees.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Good luck to all of us."
> Leave the inn and head to the blacksmith.

[Tom]

> "Good luck to all of us."
> Leave the inn and head to the blacksmith.

> You walk back to the village blacksmith and enter the shop. Kogasa greets you before announcing "I found a lead on the symbols on the odd sword you left!"

[Kilgamayan]

> Raise our eyebrows in interest.
> "Really? What'd'ya find?"

[Tom]

> Raise our eyebrows in interest.
> "Really? What'd'ya find?"

> Kogasa explains "Well you see, I don't have much literature that's not directly related to smithing, so I've just been hopping in and out of Kosuzu's bookstore to 'browse'. Last night I was able to stay a bit longer than usual before closing time thanks to a customer keeping Kosuzu occupied, which is when I found the symbols in a journal describing faraway places. Specifically in the chapter about the Latin alphabet, which was apparently used in a grand empire long ago."

[Kilgamayan]

> Do we know anything about such an alphabet or such an empire?

[Tom]

> Do we know anything about such an alphabet or such an empire?

> You have heard about the empire but never got there before it's fall.

[Kilgamayan]

> "Huh. I had no idea..."

[Tom]

> "Huh. I had no idea..."

> She places it on the table and frowns "First time I've heard of it as well, meaning I can't tell you what the writing means other than where it's from."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Writing? Maybe Kosuzu could tell us."

[Tom]

> "Writing? Maybe Kosuzu could tell us."

> "Oh that's a good idea! How didn't I think of that?" she agrees.

[Kilgamayan]

> Shrug.
> "Maybe you were distracted by the hubbub earlier?"

[Tom]

> Shrug.
> "Maybe you were distracted by the hubbub earlier?"

> "Yeah perhaps... Kosuzu was being kind of loud and pushy trying to chase that sale." she admits.
> Frowning "Guess she hasn't learned yet that being too aggressive really can hurt sales..."

[Kilgamayan]

> "Oh, I meant Yakumo getting turned into a gold statue."
