[X] Wait patiently until they come closer.

---

Ever since the border was weakened, they have had several guests from outside Hakugyokurou. No sense in being rude, as Lady Yuyuko said before. Besides, she could always get rid of them later.

"You aren't going to interrogate our guests?" Yuyuko asks.

Youmu shakes her head.

"We've had quite a few regulars lately. It might just be the lazy shrine maiden or that reckless black-white." she says calmly.

Yuyuko puts a hand on Youmu's cheek. Youmu blushes slightly as she turns her head.

"You are growing up beautifully." Yuyuko says.

Yuyuko moves closer, only a few inches from her face. Youmu's eyes widen in surprise. Yuyuko kisses her deftly on the cheek.

"W-what are you doing?" Youmu stammers. "T-this is inappropriate!"

Yuyuko simply giggles.

"I couldn't help it - you looked so cute just then," she says. "Don't worry, I won't go further than this. You're saving yourself for someone else, aren't you?"

"I-it's just a misunderstanding!" Youmu shouts.

Suddenly, someone clears her throat. Youmu turns toward the sound.

"Excuse me for interrupting, but I think I have something you ghosts might be looking for."

Komachi is standing by the entrance, smiling enigmatically. Chen is standing beside her, clinging to a large pile of cloth between them. Youmu looks closer at the pile. She recognizes the person wrapped inside it.

"V-Vincent?" Youmu mutters.

"We should get him inside," the shinigami says.

...

"W-will big brother be fine?" Chen asks.

"I think this will do for now," Komachi says. "He doesn't seem to be seriously injured. I think he just overexerted himself a little bit."

"What happened?" Youmu asks as she covers the unconscious Vincent with a blanket.

Komachi puts her hand on her chin as she organizes her thoughts.

"It's a long story," she finally answers. "Why don't we talk about it over some tea and snacks?"

Yuyuko practically hops in delight. She starts walking toward the door.

"I'll get some sweet buns! You like those, don't you Chen?" she says.

The little nekomata nods excitedly in agreement.

"I really like sweet buns, big sis Yuyu~" Chen says as she follows Yuyuko out of the room.

"..."

"Well, I suppose I'll accept your hospitality," Komachi says as she stands up. "Can't let those buns go to waste."

"W-wait..." Youmu says weakly.

The three of them leave the room before Youmu can say anything else. She sighs to herself as she turns to look at Vincent. He seems to be resting peacefully.

"Well, at least he's alright," Youmu mutters to herself.

She finds herself alone with the ghost hunter.

[ ] Follow the others to the dining room. You need to ask about what happened.
[ ] Return to your room. You need some time alone.
[ ] Head to the dojo and practice. Maybe you can clear your head.
[ ] Take a seat in the corner and watch over Vincent. He might wake up confused.
[ ] Examine Vincent carefully. He might have some injuries they didn't notice.
