So instead of being able to isolate some actual thief, they could just rule out a family member performing the actual theft. It helped that there was more to go on in terms of what clues might be around--paper where it shouldn't be or some measure of misplaced damage--but any actual indications as to who might have made off with the vase...

The "how" answered itself when it came to escaping with what was doubtless a rather cumbersome item: take the exact same way of removing it that had been chosen with the wall. Or keep reapplying the same trick in reverse. Nevertheless, along with Toshiko, Ryuuko wished to see the scene of the crime rather than the approach to it.

"Daidouji-san, was the case protected against being displaced in some manner? It seems unlikely to me that your defences were constructed to be defeated by a single skill."

"So they moved the wall and used that to bypass or disrupt the defences," Ryuuko said, following the logic. Well, the logic that existed in something inherently magical that allowed connections to remain despite objects being in an entirely different area or cut into pieces, "But is this really enough of a clue for us to find out the one behind the theft?"

By this point, Yuuno was pretty superfluous--except for keeping an eye on her to see if she reacted unusually to any of the mentioned terms. Toshiko had made it clear that anyone could be a suspect in a family like this, even if the methods employed would seem to rule them out...

Nope, was meant to be the one in front of Shinfloppy. Just smashing a table would lead to being ignored, so it had to be that one. :T

Ryuuko followed her boss's gaze and noted the... damaged wall? She wasn't an expert of architecture but the general fastidiousness this mansion exemplified from its sheer volume of maids made her expect that something like that would have been immediately repaired. Plaster was made from and could be ground back into a powder, which might explain why there was something in the library... but how was it in the library and what could even have damaged the wall?

"Maybe the damaged ofuda is because whatever the thief was doing worked imperfectly and somehow damaged the wall over in the library? That would explain the damage here and the plaster there. I cannot see how a wall would end up in the library or why that would be a thief's first choice, however."

Not how a proper magi does magic? Sometimes, the attitude of western-style magi to to onmyoudo irked Ryuuko: why did they insist on treating their own country's magical style as some secondary and inferior art. As far as she and her family were concerned, it was nothing more than one style, even if a heavily specialised one, that their affinities tended to work poorly with. But unlike alchemy, there was enough similarity with the magical mainstream that they should really approach it as something less exotic...

That onmyoudo could interfere with defences like this was a prime example of why.

"Might it be possible that a charm could match the defences from the outside and then insert it in place before temporarily disrupting them? Onmyoudo is almost a specialisation in the application of barriers."

Well, the skill's wording seems to necessitate letting the other person take action or get an advantage first. Given the contest in question, that's a great way to lose. XD

"You" as in "Atalanta". Not with the way that skill is worded. @_@

Err... I don't think you're going to outsmart someone in arm wrestling. O_o

"Are ghosts common enough that defences against them would be employed as a matter of course?" Ryuuko wondered, homing in on something out of place in the otherwise immaculate, but empty when compared with the rest of the house, corridor. Paper? No, more than paper--it was only a fragment but the hints of its original shape and the characters on one side were more than enough. "Master, it seems that the infiltrator is an onmyouji or styling themselves as one.

"Unless your family would use ofuda in their defences, of course, Yuuno-san."

I still think that your Tamamo colour should be a few degrees lighter, just for contrast. It's more difficult to read than it ought to be. ^^;
