A glance revealed her handiwork: Red spider lilies and white chrysanthemums adorned the newly cared for areas. You noted that yellow carnations could only be found in the bandit's graveyard. Nonetheless both gravesites held themselves beautifully— Ayane had outdone herself.
A few tree seeds were planted near the edges of the clearing and the pathways. Given some magical fertilizer, these would soon grow into cherry blossoms. When you asked her about the choice for sakura trees, Ayane responded that they represented the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, "Although I would be lying if I didn't say I planted these to remind me of Oceanippon. I hope you'll forgive my selfishness, Master."
Within the main graveyard a small shrine had been built by one of your construction clankers, a torii gate accompanying it. Ayane said that the shrine was to honor the memory of this place, and wasn't necessarily meant for any deity (unless you counted Herta, since she was also in the place place), gate divided the area between the sanctity of the shrine and the rest of the world.
The fox and ghost seemed to have much to talk about. Despite Yumi and Ayane being from the same country, they were born in wildly distinct regions and time periods, and weren't similar in personality. Yet seeing them speak about how much has changed was interesting to hear about. Now that Yumi wasn't so temperamental anymore, they got along well— despite Yumi's earlier comments of Ayane not truly understanding how to respect the dead.
You were able to get some insight into what Yumi's life was like when she was alive. It made you consider how she'd ended up here to begin with. As they spoke you made your assessment of the tin ore; not enough to make an ingot, but it could help Mel or even Cattleya track down a bigger deposit somewhere. If there was any more to begin with, that is.
Eventually you all reach the mansion. Ayane excused herself to meet with Bertha, as they were the ones making lunch this time, and Yumi flies off to read some books after some quick banter was shared between the two of you.
