From originally unwelcome to now being invited into someone's house, a lot has happened since we first entered this village literally five minutes ago. We certainly hadn't been expecting things to go this way, but we weren't complaining. At least, we could now talk with a resident here, and hopefully gain some information on the shrine and the 'news' those guards back at Hirokita Village spoke of.
"Please, take a seat," the old woman rasped, inviting us into her home and gesturing towards the tatami mats surrounding the short-legged table in the small living room of the house. The girls and I hesitated before sitting down, but ultimately decided to simply obey as this conversation was bound to be somewhat lengthy.
