"Oh, of course, dear. Hospitality is important 'round here," Yoshie said with a smile. "Oh, some green onions, if you run into them. And water from one of them wells."

Daisuke added, "Don't drink the water from the river, though. It's sacred... and can affect your thinking besides."

"Shady is a word for it", he agreed. "Let's make time to talk to the village head."

[Shiba Kumori]

She nodded, “Tomorrow morning… Bright and early.”
