"This is an order from Genkun."
Youka opened her eyes widely.
"I think we've found out where Taiki is."

Youka rushed to get Sanshi, and then the two of them ran to Hakki Palace to see Gyokuyou.
All the buildings in Houro Palace are either palaces or temples. Because the crags are able to block the wind and the
weather on Mt. Hou is inherently good, neither cold nor hot, the buildings only need to have roofs as shelter from the
rain.
Youka walked on the small paths, ran up five sections of white stone stairs, and hurried onto the white stone floor of
the palace. At the same time, Teiei was also running in.
"I've brought Sanshi here."
Youka kneeled upon the octagonal floor. Gyokuyou nodded her head from the chair in which she was sitting.
Teiei lifted her head.
"Have they found the Taika like I've heard?"
"The Kirin of En helped us find it."
"Then it must be right!"
This was almost a miracle. All the nyosen on Mt. Hou had already lost all hope. In Mt. Hou's history, there had never
been a kirin that was found after being lost for ten years. Kirin have drifted to Hourai before, but they were all found
and returned within five years. The length of ten years was really so long that Teiei was shocked.
Gyokuyou smiled.
"It should be right... Since the kirin drifted to Hourai, it has turned into a taika, but a kirin can still sense another
kirin's spirit. Thus, I asked the kirin of various kingdoms if they could cross the Empty Sea to look for Taiki. We finally
received some news today."
After the fruit was taken away by the shoku, in another kingdom, it was deposited in the womb of a woman and
turned into a taika.
"Was he discovered by En Taiho?"
Gyokuyou used her glazed fan to cover her lips as she laughed.
"It seems as if En Taiho often crosses the Empty Sea to go to Hourai. I have always thought that if anyone could
find the Taika, it would be him. I didn't think that I would have guessed right."
Actually, kirin often run all over the place and it's not particularly special, but right now, no one concerned
themselves with that.
"We heard that he had discovered a kirin in Hourai. Currently, the only kirin whose whereabouts are unknown is
Taiki, so it should be him."
"Yes..."
With this talk, it seemed as if the kirin would really return!
"Then I should assemble the nyosen immediately..."
Gyokuyou interrupted Teiei mid-sentence.
"There's no need."
"But..."
Gyokuyou turned to look at a blankly-staring Sanshi, who was standing behind Teiei and Youka. She set her fan on
the table and then reached out with both hands.
"Sanshi, come here."
Sanshi slowly strode toward Gyokuyou.
"I told you that we would find Taiki and bring him back. I didn't trick you, did I?"
Gyokuyou took Sanshi's hand.
"Please forgive us for making you wait so long."
She patted Sanshi's hand.
"There's a gate where the roots of the Shashinboku are. You should go. And this time, use your hands to pull Taiki
