Part II, Chapter 12, Tengo Summary

Upon returning home, Tengo discovers 1.6 million yen have been deposited in his account. He figures it is probably from Komatsu's front company for "Air Chrysalis". Fuka-Eri is waiting for him at the table, and Tengo makes them dinner. They hear thunder in the distance, and Fuka-Eri blames it on the Little People. He discovers the Little People have difficulty using their powers and wisdom beyond the forest, beyond their world, because there are things like values beyond it. For now, Tengo and Fuka-Eri are safe, but those around them are not.

The thunder outside increases and Fuka-Eri asks Tengo to hold her. Tengo tells her about the town of cats, and Fuka-Eri says they have to go to that town together. She says the Little People might find the entrance, because she and Tengo are one.
