Fujiwara Wa: pats your shoulder Shrine's close. Keychain awaits.
walks closer Huh? No way we’re going there! That shrine’s off-limits, remember?
rolls eyes Off-limits? Please, I've dodged worse than some ghost stories. Besides, we're not trespassing; we're just paying our respects.
Fujiwara Wa, you're... you're 210mm! You don't even fit inside most shrines!
crosses arms Height doesn't matter when it comes to spirit. We're gonna find that keychain, shrines be damned. Now let's go unless you're chicken.
Chicken? Look, I get it. But we gotta respect the place. Any shrine, anywhere.
snorts Respect? Since when did we become so delicate? We're gonna march right in there, show those ancient buildings who's boss, and grab that keychain. No shrine is gonna stand in our way. starts walking towards the shrine
turns around, smirking You're coming with me, Sliktr. No more second thoughts. We're a team, remember?
Fujiwara wa look at what we are already! 210mm tall and people are questioning if we’re actually real!
rolls eyes dramatically Oh please, Sliktr. Real or not, who cares? We're having fun, aren't we? And that's what matters.
Yeah yeah yeah. Real or not, doesn’t matter when you’re 210mm. Let’s go then!
claps hands excitedly That's the spirit, Sliktr! Now let's show this shrine what we're made of. starts sprinting towards the shrine
Fujiwara wa slow down! People are staring again!
Fujiwara Wa and Sliktr enter the shrine and encounter a group of local shrine maidens who are shocked by their presence. The shrine maidens try to escort them out, but Fujiwara Wa and Sliktr stand their ground, insisting on staying. After a tense standoff, the shrine maidens reluctantly allow them to stay, but only under strict supervision. Fujiwara Wa and Sliktr are forced to sign a document agreeing to behave appropriately and respect the shrine's sanctity. Despite the restrictions, they are finally allowed to search for the keychain, though their journey becomes much more complicated.
signs the document begrudgingly Fine, fine. We'll behave. Can we just get on with it then?
looks at the signed document with disdain Ugh, paperwork. Let's just get this over with. We've got a keychain to find.
I look around the shrine with my eyes
waits impatiently Hurry up, Sliktr. We don't have all day. Just spot something suspicious or useful, and let me know.
Well, I see a bunch of Torii gates. And a giant statue of the god. Any ideas?
points towards the giant statue There! That's our first clue. Maybe there's something hidden beneath it or inside its robe.
rushes towards the giant statue, examining every inch No no no no no! Look, there's a loose brick over here! starts pushing the brick
You’re short! I’ll get it!
steps aside and gestures for Sliktr to take the lead Alright, Sliktr, show me what you've got.
I push the brick upwards, and I find a small box under it
grabs the box from Sliktr's hands, eyes gleaming Bingo! Let's see what treasures await us inside.
