It is a frog mask. Still unfinished, but I've been working on it until yesterday, hoping to assist Suwako-sama.

The wooden mechanism on the hinged jaw has been finished.

It'll allow expressions to be more richly reflected on the mask.

Is this from a sacred tree? You're pretty good.

Sure is.

O-Oh, I wonder...

She's not just a look-alike. The original object must've been very powerful.

Makes you all the more worried about her origins, huh?

She resembles me an awful lot, but I'd rather she be viewed as separate.

Alright, I'll take you on.

R-Really?

That's a relief. You're a huge help...
