Yuki walks to where her mother's house would be (with the Earth Elemental following after at a slow lumbering pace).
Arriving, she finds a small army of tiny radish spirits (like what Kioko had drawn at Yunikawa's place) marching around a long rectangular parameter and occasionally repelling other tiny spirits, in the shapes of bugs, slugs, and snails, that happen to come along now and again. Yuki realizes that this must be where the garden is, behind her mother's house.
The Earth Elemental meanwhile, comes up behind Yuki and says, "I must take the book back to the Priest."
Ignoring the Elemental for a moment, Yuki walks a little bit further, and finds a few more human shadows - one of which is obviously a child, but which has an unusually bright silvery shimmer about it. Hovering closely to the child is the little luminous cloud-like spirit familiar that Yuki immediately recognizes as the one Sakura made and which later attached itself to Kioko.
Apparently, the little spirit familiar can see Yuki and the Elemental, because it chirps at her and smiles brightly when she approaches.
The Earth Elemental once again follows and asks again - "The book; I must take the book."
