"Are you sure we should let Yukari come back to these meetings?" asked Nitori.
"But she went through that thera...whatever its called." said the Scarlet Controller.
"I don't know, I still don't trust her."
"But she helped you bring in Ahiru."
"I know Remilia, but I don't want her to do anything dangerous. Besides, I want to know what the North Western Railway is like from Ran."
"What if you preoccupy Yukari with something irrelevant to your interests?" suggested the Scarlet Controller.
"I mean, I want to do something with Mayohiga." said Nitori, transitioning to another topic.
"Branch line or mainline?"
"I'd figure branch, unless more humans end up there."
Then Nitori got an idea.
"Maybe Yukari could start putting her gapped in humans there and that could be a little colony of sorts."
"But who would like a village of gappy stu's?" questioned the Scarlet Controller.
Nitori and the Scarlet Controller talked back and forth about possibly extending the railway to Mayohiga and what to do with Yukari coming back into company affairs. Mayohiga lay on the border of the Great Hakurei Barrier and was at the moment, abandoned with only a population of stray cats to keep it company. If they could somehow convince enough humans to move there, they could build a branch line and expand it into a mainline extension if traffic is increased enough.
Meanwhile, Ran was telling Yukari, who was recently given leave out of Eientei, stories about where she went.
"We'd see these two mechanical youkai pass by and Chen would imitate them." Ran then got Chen to imiate the two engines.
"'Member th' time you b'oke ya break van, Dougie!" Chen imitated.
Yukari was pleased, even though the thought of artificial youkai gave her the feeling that neither human or youkai should never play god. Yukari was happy that things were getting back to normal.
