"I've been looking for this girl," the man said, showing him the picture of Hanyuu. "Hanyuu Medici. I've traced her as far as your house, but she has not gone beyond the house in any direction, and has not gone back."

"I can honestly say that I have not seen her," he said. "How good are your senses?"

"Quite good, I'd say," the man replied shortly.

"Well, do you know how to overcome blindspots?" he asked in reply. "Because there is a rumor that under the ground there are tunnels that were built by rebels years ago. It is supposed to be able to mask almost any sense, physically or magical, from anyone outside or inside the tunnels. It is quite possible that she ran into one of those, and is gaining more distance as we speak."

"Perhaps you could help me, sir," the man said. "You seem to know a lot about this, could you, perhaps, show me to one of these tunnels so I can check there too?"

"Yes, I found one of the doors not too far away. Unfortunately, I don't know how to open it," he said. "But I will show you." He lead the man a short distance away and showed him the trap door.

"Hmm," the man said. He examined the door. "It doesn't seem to have been opened in a while. I doubt she went through here. Is there any other entry you know of?" Despite what the man said, he tried to open the trap door. He looked around the area and examined nearby trees, rocks, and shrubs for a way to open it.

"I'm not sure, there is said to be a maze throughout the valley," he said. He knew the man would find the contraption to open it if he was observant enough.

The man seemed to have found the contraption on the ground. "Well look here," he said. "Let's see what this does."

The door opened effortlessly, implying that it had been used recently. "Wow, for all that wear, that was easy," he said.

"Yes," the man said. "Now let's see if the little brat's here somewhere." He started walking down to see if Hanyuu was there, then paused. "Hey, come with me. You were pretty curious about all this."

"I'm afraid I can't right now," he said. "I can't go too far from my girls. Something might happen."

"Hmph," the man said. He didn't want to go alone, afraid that someone would lock him in. He began to send some magic into the tunnel to search for Hanyuu.
