>She shakes her head to your first question.
>At your second question, she radiates a sense of unease, then it changes to a sense of no longer paying attention.
>How did you feel when you noticed it?

// Be very kindly welcomed as guests ( players  ) if anyone wants to question,inquire,verify,brainstorm,etc. while we are still here as "3+ Utsuho"//

> To Stargazer : " What do you reckon regarding those Tree and Buildings which have started their appearance in Them Waters There ?"

> Pause : " Any feelings ,recollection, linking or some such with those here in Gensokyo, as far as the 2 times you travelled with me ?"

[Yaersulf]

>"Stargazer, after this do you want to stay with Utsuho or continue with me and try and work out what's going on here?"

>There is a sense of frustration, and not quite recalling any. She is upset by that,

> To Stargazer : " If yourself or Utsuho notice or have in mind ,after keeping each other up todate,anything shady or unresolved or particularly interesting we could try to look into it as well  would be at least marginally related with the current joint-issue we are trying to tackle "

>Utsuho shrugs, her wings rising up as well as her shoulders. "I didn't know anything weird was going on until you guys came here and showed me Stargazer."

[Yaersulf]

>"Hmm, okay. I don't suppose you'd know where I could find the leaf goddess that lives around these parts?"

[It's Purvis!]

>"Hmm, okay. I don't suppose you'd know where I could find the leaf goddess that lives around these parts?"

>"Well, you can find her along the lower parts of the mountain," Utsuho says. "But she and her sister kind of have to want to be found. And given this is her busy time of year, well, you might not have much luck?"

> " Autumn is the Akis main season to shine and at top activity,but seeing as our main deal with them is a Blessed Leaf we should have to move all the way to the Moriya Shrine and ask either Kanako or Suwako,although we shall also keep looking for clues for the Akis en-route ".

> " So anything particular or any recommendations for the Moriya Shrine and Tengu Territory nowadays ? "

> Any useful experience in that respect.

// At this point it is better to proceed as my command suggests, seeking additional insights during it ,give more warnings,etc. //

>"It should be pretty lively up the mountain," Utsuho says. "The tengu are all about autumn celebrations, and I'd be surprised if they were getting one ready right now."
>You haven't been up the mountain very much, mostly to peek in on some Moriya Shrine events.

>Yukari and Okina Matara said they'd contact us when they wanted to right?
>How close is Mayohiga to youkai mountain?

[It's Purvis!]

>Yukari and Okina Matara said they'd contact us when they wanted to right?

>They did.
>It's not terribly far away, though it is worryingly north of it. You'd probably have to look around a bit to find it, but you recall some landmarks that should help.

> Realization look: " Sorry if this comes out of the blue,but it could still be of a non-meager help,have you seen Sakuya,the Head Maid from the Mansion around here or heard of here coming in this zone? "

// It might be better,dropped "hints" included, to expand our search in a New Area up to the Mountain Summit ( Youkai Mountain,Moriya Shrine,Tengus,etc. ) : it could be also useful/important for any eventual "backtrack & unlocking further on ". //

// Re-reading " A-Z Sakuya Quest ",the one lead-in to A-Z Murasa Quest  (Good Read & CyoA-RPG ; it is on "Mystia's Stored Games sub-section of " Rumia's party Game" in Maidens of the Kaleidoscope/Motk V2 accessing through the redirect section in this  ) , we should also start looking and asking around for Sakuya ( who is on a "?mission? " after having received a sealed letter from Yukari,a tie-in from " A-Z Sakuya Quest " )  //

> Fall Festivities are aplenty...What do we konw or know someone or someplace in the know ?

> Look and speak kindly to both Utsuho and Stargazer while winking : " We do not want to "sink" all the time for a reunion of two formerly-lost friends without them catching up more than enough with each other,of course until it is time to go back to our own pursuits "

>The tengu are the highlight of autumn events, but you know the kappa have their own events closer to the end of the season. You imagine you could ask most residents of youkai mountain.
>"If you're wanting to move on, that's fine," says Utsuho.
>Stargazer feels indecisive again, you are certain she's trying to decide whether she stays or goes.

> To Stargazer a bit forlorn: " Stargazer,it would be nice if we could leave but the matter of that Formless Gazer and the Displacements are still happenig so we have to stick & work together,both in Gensokyo but also because we are the only ones who are pulled down to that Ocean Bottom Dimension and especially the more we do so the more quickly and certainly you could settle establish in Gensokyo and reunite with your friend ...

> Cheering up and also looking to Utsuho " ...But of course we could be making visits to Utsuho if there is an occasion or if you feel the need &,and there is possibility on all our ends and,especially, this is also ".

> Unless Stargazer objects or wants a clearer explanation or some-such,say our goodbyes and thanks to Utsuho for all her time,wish best luck for her own endeavors and the University's, take Cactus-Stargazer,after her goodbys to Utsuho as well, and let  the 3  exit the University Building and be heading for about the and head for the center of Kappa Town.

> Of course stop or make a deviation if  we catch glimpes or hear about of 1 or both the Aki Sisters or any particular hustle & bustle

>There is a sense of acknowledgement from Stargazer, and she slips back into her Cactus.
>"Once it's all said and done, we'll figure out things in the long term, alright?" says Utsuho.
>You make your way toward the center of the kappa town. It's a bit less active than the markets, and there's little to designate it as a town center at all; just some nice rocks for sitting on, and some cattail patches that have been placed to look reasonably natural at a glance. There are a few kappa here; you note one is quickly taking her leave as you and Tojiko approach. Not surprising for a kappa.
