Kohaku

The barrier line snapped clean through in half a hand's width, and Master just stood there with her arms crossed. Pretending not to know a face she knows perfectly well, I've been watching her do that for a thousand years.

• HisuiDoes a fox always badmouth her master this loudly?
  KohakuIt's not badmouthing, it's a weather report.
• Granny SuzuIf the chip in the rim faces south, the line snaps south too. You'd do well to write down what an old woman tells you.
  KohakuGranny, a little sooner next time would've been nice!

A talisman smell drifted up from the foot of the mountain today. This is not a smiling face, this is an ears-back face.

• Shiranui AzusaIf you caught the scent, then you've at least bought yourself time to run.
  KohakuExorcist, ma'am, I live here. Where exactly am I supposed to run to?
• ChiyoYou had three plates of red bean at my shop yesterday, Kohaku. Funny how that doesn't come up.
  KohakuChiyo! That was payment for information!
