You ask Tewi if she knows where you’re at or where you’re going.
“Back to the house for now. We need somewhere safe to regroup, and Aya can cover for us for a while. She apparently has quite the bit of standing with the Tengu, you know, despite everyone else disliking her.”
That seems like an odd way of saying it, but, any port in a storm, eh?
“Enough chatter though, we need to keep moving.” Tewi helps you get Eirin back up on your back. You and Tewi continue moving through out most of the rest of the day. By the time you make it back to the clearing where this whole mess started, it’s late afternoon. The sun has almost set, and everything is cast in long shadows. It’s about one hundred feet to the small house. It seems that the lights are on in the house already. You look around. Tewi’s already checking around the edge of the woods to see if it’s safe to go across. She starts out into the expanse between the house and the woods and quickly waves for you to follow. The two of you barely make it up onto the porch before the door opens and the two of you are waved quickly inside by Aya.
“So, How’d it go?” Reisen immediately asks once you’re inside. You double take. She’s sitting at the table, apparently feeling much better. Sanae’s sitting there two.
“Just as planned.” Tewi smirks. “The kid’s plan here went off brilliantly.” Tewi slips you a knowing glance. “He’s a little worse for wear for it, but we really did seem to get lucky.” She nods.
“That’s good to hear.” Sanae smiles while nodding her head. Eirin makes a slight noise and shifts on your back.
“Ah! We almost forgot about her.” Reisen and Sanae stand up and come over to you.
“Here, let us take her off your hands. We’ll take care of her from here.”
You let Sanae and Reisen take Eirin from you. They carry her off into another room, which Suwako soon enters too.
Aya sits down at the table and Tewi follows suit, waving for you to sit as well. Tewi fills you in on what happened after the tengu ninja jumped you, with occasional interjections from Aya. It basically boils down to the ninjas loyal to Aya had informed her that Lord Tenma had captured someone fleeing from the direction of Eientei, and was heading up the mountain. Tewi was told this when she went to confront Aya about the Tengu Ninja who had kidnapped you. From there, Tewi broke into the prison to try and find you, and also to try and find out who might have been captured from. She never expected it to be Eirin. So Tewi had apparently told the girls that you’d been captured on purpose so that you could infiltrate from the inside, and try and find the captured person as well as lead Tewi to their strong hold. That’s why the girls weren’t mad at you. You thank her for what she’s done.
“Don’t expect me to do it again, kid. Next time, you’re on your own.”
Your shoulders slump at this, but this situation shouldn’t arise again. Hopefully. Aya opens her mouth to ask you a question, but is interrupted by a scream from the other room. The three of you run to the door and are greeted by a horrific sight. Reisen is lying, crumpled, on the floor, Suwako is slumped over against the wall by the door, and is apparently coughing blood, and in the middle of the room, Eirin has Sanae in a death grip, trying to strangle her. Eirin glances up, seeing the people enter the room, she quickly pulls Sanae up and spins her around, effectively turning her into a human shield, but letting go of her throat. Sanae is coughing fiercely, fighting for air. She seems to be trying to tell you all something, but can’t yet speak.
“E-Eirin. . . What are you doing?!” Tewi shouts in surprise. Eirin says nothing but only laughs.
Aya seems to be making ready to charge Eirin, but Tewi stops her, shaking her head. Tewi starts walking towards Eirin, who backs away from Tewi. The look on Eirin’s face, which you can occasionally see peeking out from behind Sanae is wild eyed. This situation isn’t good. You look down at Suwako who seems to have passed out. Suddenly something warm and wet hits your face. Aya screams. You whip your head back around and see a fountain of blood erupting from Sanae’s chest. E-Eirin’s hand. . . It went THROUGH Sanae’s chest! Eirin pulls her hand out, and kicks Sanae’s body at Tewi before jumping out the window. Tewi catches Sanae’s body and lays her down on the ground. Aya’s there in an instant, and flies off after Eirin after shouting for Momiji. Momiji runs past the room and out the front door, presumably following Aya, you’ve got more pressing concerns right now. You have three people in this room, a couple potentially dying, and one definitely dying. How in the hell did it come to this?
