[Day 3, Early Morning] On the Road Again (Open)

[Reiko]

Reiko gave Sora a stern look. "I expect you to be on this. I quite enjoy your sense of humour, Sora-san, but this is very serious. I would rather not have to explain to Shiba-dono why one of his trusted servants now stands with the enemy."

She then nodded to Phi.

"I had hope that the supply wagon would have some, but it seems if it does, it's an extremely small supply."

[Jiyo Sora]

"I will be as careful as someone marching into land corrupted by the Realm of Evil to rescue a trapped deity can."

[Nozomi]

"Maybe the Nezumi will have some supply. I dislike trade, but if they had it I think it would be worth a heavy price." She folded her arms and grunted, sighing to herself. "And in the end, we ... just don't know. I know just enough to know 'have jade' and 'there be monsters.' I know it wants my soul, but the details? How it works? I feel like a child in the face of an adult, a very dangerous one, all over again. To know there is a danger, you prepare but... it is different when all you know is that it is coming, yes?"

It was intensely frustrating, but it was also a feeling she understood because of other reasons. Sometimes knowing that she had limited understanding was both frustrating and enlightening.

[Reiko]

"Unsurprisingly, there is very little study as to what this realm can do. It is a danger to even approach it from a spiritual point of view. Even the greatest among the Isawa would not risk it" Reiko frowned "I have gathered as much information as possible and shared it with everyone, but the person that could help us the most is sadly the one we are having to rescue."
