Grimnír can't afford to waste any time.

Eirin said that the ghost princess Yuyuko Saigyouji is a good friend of Yukari Yakumo. She lives in Hakugyokurou together with her gardener and retainer Youmu Konpaku. The lunarian doctor mentioned that they are both quite amiable as long as he doesn't do anything offensive. Hopefully, he can get the help he needs without trouble.

He takes one last look of longing at the street stand as he passes over it. Some grilled chicken and a beer would be a great, but now isn't the time. He sighs as he checks his things again.

"Got no money anyway," he mutters to himself.

He hears a faint melody as he flies by, but he pays it no heed. Soon, the red-lantern stand is far behind him. He probably didn't miss anything important.

Maybe.

...

A few minutes later, he finds himself flying over a heavily forested mountain. To the left, he can see a large peak reaching high into the clouds. He can't see the top of the peak from here.

Grimnír pulls out the map Eirin left him. According to the map, that large peak is Youkai Mountain. He is getting pretty close to Hakugyokurou. Perhaps he can make it there without incident.

He takes a moment to examine the contents of his sack as he continues onward. He looks sadly at the small pouch full of mushrooms. It must be useful somehow, since Marisa gave them. He still has the beginner's magic book that he borrowed from Alice. He is almost halfway done with the book, though he still hasn't tried some of the more advanced exercises. He is carrying five blank spell cards and one special card of his own. He isn't exactly sure how to use them, so he should find time to ask someone about it.

"W-what the hell?" he cries as he barely dodges a shining ball of light.

Grimnír turns around and finds over a dozen fairies flying behind him. Small globes of light are already forming in their hands. This doesn't look good. Didn't Eirin say that this path is supposed to be safe?

"Oh shi-"

What should he do?

How should he deal with the attacks?
