Yoshimi sat down beside Nikko as she watched Harashi and Hideki barricade the front door. Then Nikko told her about how he placed his hand on the ent outside and how it reacted oddly, as if it was somehow connected to him. "That's rather odd...", Yoshimi said, putting her hand on her chin, thinking about the incident. Then suddenly the roof broke. "Huh?", she was startled. Something flew through the roof and then pierced the floor. It was a naginata. "Why did it suddenly just appear here?", she wondered. She observed as Nikko went near it and touched it. He made some odd movements for a few moments but eventually stopped and returned to normal. He walked back next to her and sat down. Nikko held the weapon and stared at it, and so did Yoshimi.

It looked rather odd, the naginata. It had decorations of leaves and vines on it.. She stared at it as Nikko held it. Then he said something. "An artifact... That your shrine worships? I see~ It just so happened that... My clan also worships some sort of artifact," Yoshimi said. "It is to be passed on to the next heir of our shrine," she said, then she remembered the spear she was carrying. She approached the bag it was in and opened said bag. She took it and observed it. "Ah! This is supposed to be the artifact! Why did Hiroshi give it to me? It's not supposed to leave the ceremonial room... Even if I'm the heiress...", she exclaimed. She noticed how it had its own design too. It had etchings of waves, like water. "Sigh... Well, it helped us so it's fine~", she said and smiled. She was a kind person, she always forgave those who made mistakes against her. She looked at the spear again. "I guess I'll use it for now to protect everyone~", Yoshimi said, still smiling. She held the spear next to her just in case more monsters appear.
