[X] Stay outside and eavesdrop a little longer.

Grimnír suddenly gets the feeling that if we walks inside right now, he might get caught up into something quite complicated. But then again... isn't he already? He carefully moves closer to the door to listen a little bit more.

"Umm... alright then," mumbles a timid voice that could only belong to Reisen. "W-well, I need to go and inform Dr. Yagokoro now, so please excuse me -"

"Why don't you stay with us for a while? You look a little lonely~"

"... typical."

"Hey wait.. you leaving? Don't you dare step out of this room, y'hear?"

"E-eh? W-what did I -"

"I'll break you apart if you don't listen..."

"Easy now~ If you scare her, she might not play with you anymore~"

"But she hasn't even had one drink since she came in! Does she think she is too good for us or something? That jush pisses me off!"

"... she's only been here for seven minutes."

"I-I'm very sorry! I'll stay here and a-accompany you as long as you like..."

"Aw... she's shaking so frightfully now~"

"... inappropriate."

Suddenly, he hears someone bang a fist hard on the table. An awkward silence follows. Then, he hears a heavy thud, like the sound of a sack of potatoes falling to the floor.

"Ah! A-are you alright?"

"She's fine. Don't mind her... she's just feeling a little lonely herself. Reimu hasn't been back at the shrine since the meeting."

"Aren't you supposed to be with her at Youkai Mountain?"

"Hmm... maybe~"

"..."

"Don't look at me like that. I just find that her current methods are counterproductive at this point. If she continues acting so selfishly, we won't get the support of the Tengu and Kappa inhabitants. Even the other shrine is hesitating to help out now."

"... unsurprising."

Then, without warning, he feels something brush against his legs. He swallows nervously as he looks down.

"Huh?" he mutters aloud.

He blinks in wonder as he observes a miniature humanoid pulling at his robe. About the height of one of Alice's dolls, it looks like a small, odd-looking girl with knee-length orange hair tied up in a ponytail. She is wearing a tattered pink blouse with a long purple skirt. More interesting are two long horns protruding from her head, decorated with ribbons. Looking closer, she actually looks pretty cute.

Then, the tiny girl looks up at him defiantly.

"Intruder!" she cries out in a high-pitched voice.

She doesn't let go of his robe.

"W-what the -"

"Intruder! Intruder! Intruder!"

Oh shit.
