[X] Take a walk outside.

---

Grimnír looks out the window. The sky is blue and the sun is peeking lazily from between the clouds. The beautiful forest scenery calls out to him. It looks like a great day for a walk.

After washing up, he changes into the grey robes.

"They fit perfectly," he says aloud. Were they made just for him?

He grabs his sack and walking stick before leaving his room. He heads down to the first floor without incident. He doesn't hear anyone in the kitchen or dining room; maybe Alice and Marisa are still asleep?

He steps out of the cottage and inhales deeply. The fresh morning air is wonderful. He takes a stroll around the clearing, taking his time to relax his mind. After going a couple of times around the house, he lies down on a soft patch of grass and starts watching the clouds.

One of the clouds looks like a mushroom. He remembers Marisa and how they first met. The girl can be a bit rough around the edges, but she seems to mean well. She looks pretty cute, too. He feels himself turn red as he recalls the details of his dream. He wonders idly if she has any interest in him besides his magic ability.

One of the clouds reminds him of Shanghai. He recalls Alice and her puppet show. She is quite kind and pleasant, but he feels that she acts restrained. Her play showed a very different side of her. Perhaps he should spend more time with the puppeteer and learn more about her true self.

One of the clouds reminds him of a beetle. He recalls meeting Wriggle Nightbug. She seemed pretty nice, if not a bit mischievous. He wonders how she could have gotten into a violent battle with the Trident Lunatic. From what he has heard so far, that person seems very dangerous, even against youkai.

One of the clouds reminds him of a parasol. He recalls Yukari and her intrusions into his head. While their first meeting left a lot to be desired, her eyes were very different last night. She said that they had similar abilities, and that she wanted to help him. She really did look lonely when she left.

Grimnír sits himself up and takes a glance at his surroundings.
[ ] Head back inside the cottage.
[ ] Head along the path to Kourindou and the Human Village.
[ ] Stay in the clearing.
[ ] Wander aimlessly in the Forest of Magic.
