As his halfling companion produced another daikon from her bag and spouted some more nonsense about the Hare of Piroko to affirmatively answer the question, Keiji opened his mouth and took a bite out of the daikon. "Arigato" Keiji said as he took the rest of the daikon. "So" Keiji said to the daikon "If you're not Yuki, then who are you and why do you sound like her?".

As he spoke Keiji noticed the trio finally fleeing from the Shambling Mound. It seemed that they had some sense in them after all. And judging by the fact that the Mound could only cover 20 feet in the time it took the trio to run 30, Keiji had a feeling they'd get away safely. Seeing that they were fleeing to the left, Keiji followed them as quickly and as stealthily as he could.
