I'm glad we now have four of the five treasures, but we still haven't had any luck with the fifth... [k] @Goredolf What even is a swallow's cowry, anyway!? And what's a shell doing in a swallow's nest in the first place!? [k] @Goredolf I've been known to partake in the occasional “swallow's nest” dish myself... Does that mean this so-called shell is a swallow that is eaten like a shellfish!? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Tamamo-no-Mae No, no, I doubt it's anything as awful as that. [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae In The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, the five treasures are precious things meant to be impossible to obtain. [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae The swallow's cowry is a shell that a swallow happened to pick up and carried back to its nest, where it served as the base for the nest. [k] @Tamamo-no-Mae It's easily the most realistic of all the five treasures.[sr]The catch is that finding one is all a matter of luck.

So it is something born of coincidence[sr]that can never be acquired through necessity. [k] @Diarmuid Well, if our only choice is to rely on luck,[sr]there is little point in dwelling on it. [k] @Diarmuid Master, might I suggest we visit[sr]the hot springs to clear our heads?

[k] @Tomoe Gozen Yes, why don't we go bathe in the hot springs? They say that refreshing one's spirit can also raise one's luck.

[k] [charaFace F 1] @Kojirou I had no idea it was in such dire straits. That is why I have been here indulging myself in these hot springs since lunchtime. [k] @Kojirou Compared to all of your valiant efforts, I may as well be an evanescent cloud in the autumn sky. [k] @Kojirou Ha ha ha ha.

[k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 1] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Kojirou All that aside... Five precious treasures, you say? What a fiendishly difficult task. And yet, something seems amiss. [k] @Kojirou You say this was the bamboo cutter[sr]from the tale of the same name? [k] @Kojirou According to that tale, his adopted daughter Kaguyahime said the following to the five men who came from the city to seek her hand in marriage: [k] @Kojirou “I cannot understand why any of you would wish[sr]to marry me, when you know nothing of who I am.” [k] @Kojirou “If you wish to take me for your bride, you must show that your love for me will never fade.” [k] @Kojirou She told each only to return after they had found one of five impossible treasures as proof of their love. [k] [charaFace F 0] @Kojirou Each of the five suitors set off to find the treasures as best they could... [k] [charaFace F 5] @Kojirou ...but not a one succeeded. [k] @Kojirou Which is why I find it strange that this bamboo cutter claimed to possess all five of them. [k] ?1:... ?2:(Then...does that mean...) ?! [charaFace F 4] @Kojirou I never expected that you would now be undergoing the same trials depicted in that old tale... Indeed, I am surprised you have time to luxuriate in the hot springs yourself. [k] @Kojirou I wish I could help you, but alas, the only thing I am good at is swinging a pole. [k] @Kojirou Unlike the rest, I soar not through the sky, nor spark flashes of light, or any other remarkable deeds. [k] @Kojirou As such, all I can do for you is rattle this[sr]cowry and pray for your success. Forgive me. [k] ?1:...Hey. ?2:...Heeey! ?! [charaFace F 5] @Kojirou Yes? What is it, [&Lord:Lady] [%1]? Is there[sr]something you wish to know about my rare seashell accessory? (Showing it off) [k] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk E] [charaFace E 0] [charaFadein E 0.1 1] @Fou Fou, fo fooou! [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 1] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Kojirou Hahaha. Forgive me, I could not[sr]resist my poor attempt at humor. [k] @Kojirou I always thought it was strange why an insignificant Servant like myself found my way to the Enma-tei... [k] @Kojirou ...but now, I finally understand. Here.[sr]I am happy to let you have this shell.

[charaFace F 0] @Kojirou I am not so poor as to draw my blade over a single shell, nor so quick to anger that I would challenge another over it. [k] [charaFace F 1] @Kojirou Now then, I think I shall be on my way. My only regret is that I never got to duel the madam during my stay. [k] @Kojirou I would have liked to know if my secret sword is strong enough to stand up to that sparrow... [k] @Kojirou ...but alas, I will have to hope that question is answered another day.
