Another Misplaced Sukima P-18 Misfired Spell part 2

The crystal knight, having accomplished an unknown goal, released the dark book from his services, allowing it to go back to sleep. Now Reimu sees strange energy bands that seem to connect to the Moriya shrine and has decided, she must do something that, apparently, she doesn't want to do. Ail managed to survive his day of excessive lust, and although he's still confused about Sakuya's actions the night before, his thoughts quickly turn to Sanae again, and the log Kanako sent to his face the night before.

Only a few minutes left before the lust spell clears off, and Patchouli Knowledge and her assistant, Koakuma, are already trying their experiment again. Patchouli stands next to Koakuma, both wearing the very same outfit as Koakuma wore the day before. Koakuma whimpers and sobs, her face turning red as she looks down at her feet and whimpering "this is so embarrassing!" Patchouli calmly says "calm down. This time there is no one else here, and I'm going to do this with you this time, so there's no need to worry." Patchouli and Koakuma step inside a circle, larger than the one the day before, and Patchouli says "alright, just like practice... a~nd... begin!" Both girls move their hips from side to side in a rhythmic fashion. The circle starts to shine blue and Koakuma excitedly shouts "look, lady Patchouli! It's working, it's working!" When Koakuma looks at Patchouli, she realizes her mistress' face is purple, her movements are erratic, and before she is able to catch her, Patchouli falls to the ground, wheezing and coughing "mukyu~~ *cough*. Koakuma immediately stops dancing and calls for her mistress. "Lady Patchouli! Lady Patchouli! Are you ok!?" Suddenly a pink colored energy envelops both girls, Koakuma screaming in terror, not knowing what is happening, and then it all stops as suddenly as it started. Koakuma calms down as Patchouli, out of breath, says "K-Koa... get me to my chair please." As Koakuma pulls Patchouli to her seat, she feels ticklish all over, butterflies fluttering in her stomach, her face turns red and she starts to tremble. Patchouli quietly observes her and after she regains her breath she says "oh~ this is bad..." Koakuma stares at Patchouli quite confused, then Patchouli says "remember what happened to Ail and the other males yesterday?" Koakuma quietly nods. Patchouli's face turns pink as she says "well... it seems this one backfired on ourselves." Koakuma looks confused and asks "what does that mean, lady Patchouli?" Patchouli trembles a bit when she replies "both of us, and many other of our female comrades... are going to experience an excessive mount of lust toward males." In a very calm tone, Koakuma says "oo~~~h~... I see..." Both Koakuma and Patchouli's faces turn bright red and both start to tremble violently.

Remilia Scarlet is unable to sleep and immediately calls on Sakuya, who, as always, immediately answers her mistress' call. Sakuya almost instantly enters the room and asks "my lady, is something wrong? It's morning and you are already awake?" Remilia smiles mischievously and says "I feel funny, Sakuya. It's very strange but... Please, bring the human Ail to me." Sakuya blushes, then bows and says "as you wish, my lady." Remilia angrily shouts "don't you DARE, Sakuya Izayoi!" Sakuya twitches and asks "did I do something wrong, my lady?" Remilia scowls as she turns to face Sakuya and says "I saw that. You just blushed. Don't you dare disobey me, or I will make you pay dearly, understood!?" Sakuya calmly bows once more and says "understood, my lady." As Sakuya leaves the room and heads outside to go look for Ail, she thinks "somehow... my lady looks extraordinarily enchanting today."

At Kyo's house, Kyo sits in the middle of the sofa while he reads a book Momiji lent him about sword techniques and defense. Luna sits to his left and casually asks "what's that?" Kyo replies "ah, a book on sword techniques. I'm hoping to find something useful here for me." Luna curiously says "ooh~ sounds so interesting." She starts to pass her hands all over Kyo and smiles very naughtily. Kyo stops reading and says "well well, what brought this up all of a sudden?" Kyo drops the book and grabs Luna's chin, pulling her face up and is just about to kiss her, when he feels another pair of hands. For a moment it strikes him as curious, then he asks "Luna, how can you move your feet like that?" Luna stops and says "my feet are on the ground." Kyo looks to his right, and there, right in front of his face, is Youmu and her ghost half, both blushing tomato red and Youmu looking straight at him with tenderness. He falls off the sofa and asks in a surprise "Y-Youmu!?" Youmu whispers "Ky~o~!" Luna angrily shouts "and who do YOU think you are!?" Youmu turns her sights to Luna's and shouts "hey, don't interrupt us!" Luna shouts "US!? You are the one interrupting US here, little girl!" Youmu gasps and shouts "LITTLE!? You'll be surprised to know I am possibly older than you, little girly!" Luna scoffs then ask "girly!? How DARE you!" Kyo gets a little nervous and says "whoa, ladies, calm down. I'm sure there's been a misunderstanding here." Both girls angrily turn to him and shout "YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!" Kyo gets the shock and surprise of his life and crouches while holding his head in a corner while trembling in fear. Both girls go to him and pat his back, trying to apologize, but they eye each other again then Luna shouts "Kyo is MY MAN! Go get your own!" Youmu shouts "I've known Kyo LONG before you even knew about him!" Suddenly the front door bursts open with Mima standing by the doorway. She storms toward Kyo, grabs him by the shirt, pulls him to her and says "this hunk is ALL mine. You two can squabble all you want between yourselves. Now hunk, why don't you and I go for a romantic dinner for two, and maybe something more, huh?" Just before the other two girls could say another word, Suika enters the house, beats Mima away from Kyo with her gourd, grabs Kyo by the back of his shirt, then pulls him away, contently humming as she did. Luna, Youmu and Mima furiously shout "HANDS OFF MY MAN!"

At the same time, at Kourindou, Yukari forces herself inside the closed store by opening a small gap next to the doorknob, and unlocking the few locks inside, quickly entering while shouting "Rinnosuke~! Are you here?" Sounding really annoyed, Rinnosuke shouts from inside one of the rooms "you DO realize the store isn't open until one more hour, right?" Glaring angrily at Yukari, Rinnosuke comes to the font, finding Yukari floating boldly in the center of the house while inside one of her gaps. She giggles and asks "you're not still mad at me for blasting you yesterday ri~ght?" She bends down and reveals her purple dress, which is open by the chest, revealing a sight for Rinnosuke as she bends down, saying in a very naughty tone "I'm so sorry for that." Rinnosuke accommodates his glasses and continues to glare at Yukari and asks "are you going to buy something, or did you just come to tell me that?" Yukari grabs her fan and opens it, covering her mouth and nose as she steps out of her gap. She places her free hand on Rinnosuke's shoulder twirls behind him and says "don't be so cold. I'm even apologizing to you. You can at least tell me you accept." Rinnosuke sighs angrily and says "fine, apology accepted. Now could you please stop that. It's very uncomfortable." Yukari gets close to his ears and is just about to whisper something, when very suddenly she is kicked all the way back outside by Aya, who shouts "Ayayaya! The nerve of some people!" Rinnosuke notices she broke a window to get in and asks "so are you going to pay for that?" Aya looks at him a little disappointed and says "aww~! I though you would be happy to see me!" Rinnosuke sighs and says "might as well just open the store now. So, is there anything you want?" Aya replies "so cold. Well yes, now that you mention it. Do you have any new merchandise? Perhaps a new camera, maybe some accessories... maybe... you?" For a moment, it seems Rinnosuke didn't catch on, when suddenly, after showing a few new rare rings to Aya he looks at her directly as she giggles. He asks "w-what do you mean?" Aya continues to stare at Rinnosuke in a very seductive manner and starts to unbutton the top of her shirt, but is stopped by a dual kick from Yukari and Eirin. Immediately, after witnessing this, Rinnosuke exclaims "Eirin!?"

At Ail's house, Ail wakes up and starts remembering the swimsuit contest. He remembers all he saw, but felt no added effect and exclaims "finally, the spell wore off. I'm safe." He happily hums as he heads to the kitchen and fix himself some breakfast but he gets a surprise when Budou swoops down from the ceiling, shouting "PAPA~! We're home!" She clings on to him and rubs her cheeks against his. Ail recovers from the sudden surprise and says "my, Budou. I'm so glad to see you." She continues to cling on him as he walks to the living room where he asks "Budou, I missed you a lot too, but don't you think you're overreacting?" Budou gets sad and says "sorry... I just want to be with papa today!" From the kitchen, Sanae says "Budou, be a good girl now." Budou sadly says "ok. *YA~WN* I better go to sleep. Last night, big sis and gramma stayed playing all night, and I played too *giggle* Nighty ni~ght" She kisses Ail on the cheek, flies up to the ceiling and clings upside-down, then wraps her wings around herself, falling asleep quickly. Meanwhile, Sanae stares at Ail. When Ail notices this, he asks "Sanae? I-is everything ok? You're not mad about... last night... right?" Ail's heart races as he asks this question, however Sanae smile widens as she says "not at all. Accidents happen, right? Come, have a seat. I made some breakfast for you~!" She direct Ail to the table and pushes him down on his seat. At first he is a little confused, but snaps out of it and says "aw, you didn't have to do that. Thank you very much, though. I really appreciate it." He smiles as he says this, making Sanae shriek with glee. She serves him the food, and as he thanked her, she grabs the utensils and scoops some of the soup for him and tries to feed him. Ail is very surprised then innocently says "but Sanae, I can do this myself, you don't have to-" In the blink of an eye, Sanae ties his hands behind him, grabs the chop-sticks this time and offers him some vegetables. He shrugs and says "well... I guess I can't now, huh?" Sanae smiles and says "open wide now. Say 'aahh~'" Ail sweats a little, but thinks it would be rude of him to say something against it, so he just opens his mouth and accepts her offer.

Back at Kourindou, a miniature war has been unleashed. Eirin, Yukari and Aya have battled hard in the course of 15 minutes, all three are burned, bruised, their clothes torn, all to see who gets to keep Rinnosuke. He, of course, is begging them to stop, before his store becomes nothing more than a memory. Yukari angrily declares "we will settle this with ONE spell card each! And since it's MY idea, I will go first!" Eirin shouts "no, I will go first!" Aya chuckles and pulls out a spell card and mockingly says "slowpokes. Wind God - Storm Day!" At the same time, Yukari pulls out her own and shouts "Sinister Spirits - Double Black Death Butterfly!" and at the same time as well, Eirin pulls a spell card and shouts "Resurrection - Game of Rising!" Rinnosuke stands in the very middle of the battlefield in front of his house and shouts "PLEASE, LADIES! Calm down... oh no~!" All three spell cards are unleashed at the same time, all on Rinnosuke, who tired to stop something like this from happening. The large explosion sends him flying high into the air, unable to stay afloat. He falls down rapidly, screaming at the top of his lungs. He thinks "this is it." as the floor gets closer at a quick pace. He suddenly stops in mid-air, saved by non-other than Marisa, who manages to pull him up to her broom, smiling and saying "hey Kourin. What's up, ze?" Rinnosuke laughs and says "Marisa, thank heavens! You gotta help me here. These three girls came here, all saying they wanted ME, and now they are blasting everything around because of their stupid contest. You HAVE to help me stop them before they destroy my house, please!" Marisa smirks and says "sure, no problem." She lands right in front of Kourindou, pulls out her Hakkero, aims it between the three fighting women and shouts "Love Colored - MASTER SPARK!" All three stop fighting and notice Marisa a little too late, as all three are engulfed by the mighty beam of colorful light, all three get blasted away; miles away! Marisa turns around and stares at Rinnosuke. He looks back at her and says "great... you too!"

Back at Ail's house, Sanae just finishes feeding Ail. She smiles and giggles then asks "was it good?" Ail replies "ah yeah, it was REALLY good. Can you show me that recipe?" Sanae smiles and nods rapidly, then releases Ail from his bonds. He grabs her hands and in a soft tone he says "Sanae, let me look at your eyes." Sanae blushes and giggles then says "of course, darling." These words felt both right and very chilling to Ail, but he ignores the feeling and just stares into her eyes. She happily smiles as he continues to stare directly into her eyes and says "I see now. Sanae, I'll be right back." Sanae sighs sadly as Ail lets her go and rushes to his room. She hears a bell ring and then Ail pops his head out of his room and says "Sanae, sorry to be a bother, but could you come over here? I need your help!" Sanae jumps in place and squeals then calms herself down and says "r-right away." She rushes to his room, which is glowing a weird tone of blue. Once inside she asks "so? *giggle* What do you need?" Ail casually asks "could you rest your head on my pillow and tell me if there's something funny about it?" Sanae looks curiously at him, but smiles and says "sure thing. Anything for you~!" She sits on his bed and gently places her head on his pillow, and the second she does, she falls completely asleep. Ail sneaks out of the room and says "that's DEFINITELY a spell. I'll go ask Patchy if there's a counter-spell." He opens a gap to the Misty Lake and immediately enters it, leaving Sanae and Budou sleeping safely inside his house.

At Kyo's house, Luna and Youmu are having a sword-fight inside the house, breaking all the furniture and some ornaments. Outside, Suika and Mima are having a danmaku battle, making it difficult for the villagers to use the exit close to Kyo's house. Without realizing it, Kyo has escaped, and is hiding in the Bamboo Forest. "*Pant-pant* What the HELL is wrong with those CRAZY GIRLS! I don't mind the attention, but right now it's more like SUICIDE!" Kyo sits by a large rock while he tries to sort things out. The peace and quiet helps him relax, but very suddenly, he is grasped by his shirt and pulled to face the underground oni, Yuugi. Before Kyo could even move a single finger, Yuugi pulls him close and gives him a passionate kiss. Just as this happens, Luna, Mima, Suika and Youmu arrive and watch in horror, as they see Yuugi stealing the kiss of their man. Yuugi pulls Kyo away and says "not bad, little human. I think I really do like you." Kyo stares back in disbelief and says "well, aren't you the direct type?" Luna angrily shouts "YOU~!!! How DARE you kiss MY man!" Mima objects and shouts "he is MY man!" Suika screams "no, he is MY man!" Youmu runs to Kyo, grabs him, releasing him from Yuugi's grip, then carries him away. By the time Yuugi realizes she lost her catch, Youmu is already out of sight. Yuugi roars and snarls "nobody steals my man!" Yuugi chases after Youmu, followed closely by the other three girls who debate who really is Kyo's woman.

At Kourindou, Marisa locks the front door, trapping Rinnosuke inside with her. She smiles and jumps on him, knocking him to the ground. She looks at him straight in the eyes and says "listen carefully. Early this morning there was a magical reaction that has cause me, and from what I can tell, many other girls to behave like crazed animals when dealing with men!" Rinnosuke trembles for a moment, then asks "wh-why are you telling me this?" Marisa summons as much will power as she can and says "this... is the same spell you were under yesterday. It's taking me a LOT of my concentration just to tell you this. I want you to go and run away, before one of us... well, you get the idea, right?" Marisa grabs Rinnosuke's shirt and twists it in her hands, using an enormous amount of will power and concentration in order to keep herself from ripping it off. Marisa starts to breath heavily when she says "you gotta push me off." Rinnosuke asks "won't you get mad and blast me if I do that?" Marisa growls "JUST DO IT!" Without thinking about it anymore, Rinnosuke sits up with great force, sending Marisa flying backward off him. She rubs her head and says "now go, run and hide as best as you can... even from me, Kourin." Rinnosuke quickly heads out his door and runs away as fast as he can, before Marisa, or the other girls can recover.

Ail arrives by the Misty Lake via one of his gaps. Immediately after setting foot outside of it, Cirno walks to him and stares at him. She says nothing, or does anything. She just stands there and stares at him. Ail looks back to her curiously and asks "Cirno, is everything ok?" The little ice fairy doesn't respond, so Ail decides to continue along. Just as he takes one step, Cirno creates an ice wall just in front of him and says "don't go." Ail stares back curiously again then says "Cirno, this isn't funny. I need to talk to Patchouli now." Cirno repeats "don't go!" Ail sighs, kneels down and asks "did someone hurt you, Cirno?" Cirno doesn't respond, but jumps and clings on to Ail's right arm. At first, Ail tries to shake her away, but eventually gives up with a sigh of defeat and says "fine, let's go together to see Patchouli. But you BETTER behave, ok?" Cirno looks at him and nods, then clings to Ail's arm firmly with both her hands and legs.

Sakuya flies by Ail's house, but immediately realizes he is not there. She flies up to the skies and looks toward Rinnosuke's house. She watches with curiosity the battle between the four girls. She wonder the reason for such heated battle, but decides not to intervene, seeing as she has a task to accomplish. She flies toward the Bamboo Forest and spots Youmu carrying Kyo and being chased by 5 more girls. "What in the heavens is going on here?" Sakuya asks herself as she watches the hilarious, yet dangerous scene, where the girls all push each other away with anything they can find. Yuugi goes as far as using Suika as a bowling ball to knock out the other three remaining girls and continue the chase on her own, the Luna recovers too quickly and immediately takes the lead. Sakuya shrugs and thinks "probably a new game" then continues her way. Landing in the front yard of Entei, Sakuya calls out to Eirin, however, only Reisen comes out. "Yes, how may I help you?" asks Reisen as she exits the clinic. Sakuya elegantly bows and says "pardon the intrusion, but by any chance, would mister Ail be around here?" Reisen's pupils shrink, her iris expand, then she shouts "AIL!? HERE!? Oh MY GOSH!" She squeals with excitement and runs to her mansions, but just before closing the doors behind her, she angrily stares at Sakuya, frown and shouts "don't you DARE come inside. HE'S MINE!" She shuts the doors and almost immediately, crashes and explosions are heard coming from inside, along with Reisen's love calls for Ail "Ail, where are you~! Come and be mine and ONLY MINE~! *excited giggle*" Sakuya is now beyond confusion and whispers to herself "but I only asked if he was here... Something's wrong. I better go and report this to my mistress before continuing my search."

Inside Patchouli's library, as Ail enters through it's doors, he says "this place is way too quiet today, don't you think, Cirno?" Still clinging on to his arm, Cirno quietly nods. Ail walks to Patchouli's desk in the center of the library and calls for her. "Patchy~! Patchy I need you help! Sanae's under a spell and..." As he calls for Patchouli, Ail notices the spell circle on the floor. Immediately, a cold chill rides down his spine. He quietly backs away and walks to the exit, but what few lights illuminated the already dark library went off in an instant. Ail trembles as he says "I... we've entered the wolf's cage, Cirno. We need to get out of here... Cirno?" The dim lights come back on and Ail realizes Cirno is not with him. "Cirno~!" calls Ail. Patchouli sits in front of him, pats the chair besides hers and says "don't worry about her. Come, have a seat." Ail looks around him and realizes Patchouli has sealed him inside a magical barrier. He can't open any gaps or fly. Realizing he is trapped, he decides to play along and says "why of course, lady Patchouli." Ail walks to her and sits on the offered chair. Patchouli pulls him closer and placing her face inches away from his own she asks "why not forget about boring, old Sanae and stay here with me? We could read books... or not. There is even one book around here with the counter spell for this barrier... or not." By now, Patchouli is gripping tight on Ail's sleeve, and although feeling a little uncomfortable, Ail also feels good about this. Patchouli slowly takes off her upper robe, then pulls up on her undergarment and says "hope you don't mind. It's just so hot in here." Ail smiles and says "why yes it is... yes it is." Somehow, Ail manages to keep his mind occupied with trivial things, managing to resist Patchouli's seduction attempts. He looks around for a moment then says "you know, you are very right, this place is too hot. Someone should..." he raises his voice "COOL THIS PLACE DOWN!" Patchouli wonders what is going on, and from the other side of the library Cirno shouts "I am the stronge~st! Freeze Sign - Perfect FREEEEZE!" All over the Library, large clumps of ice materialize in thin air, and the air gets so cold Ail can see his breath. Patchouli is forced to pull down her clothes and put on her robe, losing her concentration and giving Ail the chance he needs to escape. Before flying away, he looks for Cirno, who is next to a frozen solid Koakuma. Ail swoops down and picks her up as she shouts "Look, I freeze her, just like that. I am the strongest!" She clings on to Ail's arm again as he smiles and says "you certainly are, Cirno. Now let's get out of here!"

Back at the village, Kyo is beside himself with anger, as the girls all take their turn holding him. First, Luna steals him from Youmu, then Yuugi steals him from Luna, then Suika kicks Yuugi away, then Mima blasts Suika so she can get Kyo, then Youmu again, and the cycle continues on and on. Unable to say a single word to his defense, Kyo is forced to be dragged all over the place by the girls, all the way back to his home. Just outside his door, Medicine watches and waits. All the girls keep arguing and fighting over Kyo, then stop as soon as Medicine gets in the very center of their little battleground. Nobody says a word and just stare at each other, then Medicine spews out a thick lilac cloud. All except Luna, Kyo and Medicine herself, start hallucinating about giant bees and pocket sized rabbit ears. Kyo, Luna and Medicine run far away from the others, then Medicine grabs hold of his leg and says "big brother!", then Luna clings on to his neck and says "my Kyo~!" Kyo smiles and says "I know I'm look good and all that, but what is up with all of you? You're acting as if I was some sort of prize or something." Luna notices Medicine, Holding on to Kyo's leg, then says "oy, Medi. Why don't you go away for a while, so me and Kyo can have some privacy?" Medicine growls and says "NO! Why don't YOU go and do your nails while big brother and I go hang out! Right Kyo?" Kyo realizes his words are falling on deaf ears and thinks "this is a really bad day after all." Kyo hears some men screaming in terror around the village's center and notices various men running away from a large number of females, then realizes something is wrong. While Luna and Medicine argue, a hand grabs Kyo from the back and pulls him away. "What the hell?" exclaims Kyo. Rinnosuke covers his mouth and says "keep your voice down! Do you want them to find us?" Kyo then whispers "R...Rinnosuke? What's going on here?" Rinnosuke whispers "there's a magic spell going around, making all the girls act all crazy. From what I can understand, it's the lust spell that got US yesterday. Kyo gasps and says "wait... you mean they want to...?" Rinnosuke nods and says "exactly. The problem is there are too many of them after very few of US, which means..." Kyo finishes saying "that they're going to kill each other, and probably us too, just to get us... What do we do?" Rinnosuke smirks and says "we hide, my friend. We hide."

Sakuya flies above the village and watches as the village women chase the men around, fighting and arguing amongst each other as they do. She sighs and says "this seems to be happening everywhere. I'm worried. What if my lady... My lady?" Sakuya remembers how aggressive Remilia got when she blushed after mentioning Ail's name. She gasps and says "My lady! She must be under some spell. Reporting to her would be dangerous now. I better report to lady Patchouli instead." A large explosion from the mansion fills Sakuya's face with fear. "Oh no... I hope that's not what I think it is." said Sakuya to herself as she rushes back to the mansion.

A few minutes earlier, in the Scarlet Mansion, Ail and Cirno run away from Meiling, who rips off her vest and starts calling Ail her 'wubbly' as she chases them. Ail tries opening his gaps, but Patchouli's seal is still in effect, although weakened. Ail flies backward and shouts "Meiling, get a hold of yourself! You're under a spell!" Meiling continues to run after Ail, breaking everything that gets in her way, even some portrait of the mistress. She blushes beet read when she shouts "ok, I'll stop. Just let me hold you~!" Ail is unable to fly anymore and starts to run with Cirno still holding on tightly to his shoulder. Meiling doubles her efforts now, running twice as fast. Ail takes a left, a right, another left, a third left, then realizes he is cornered. He whimpers "crap, wrong turn." Meiling breathes heavily behind him, holding her arms up and gesturing her hands, as if grabbing something in the air and says "*pant* I *pant* got you *pant* now!" She smacks her lips, takes a deep breath and shouts "now give me ALL YOUR LO-... eh?" Under her feet, an explosion breaks the floor, sending her falling to the darkness below. When she gets up, she looks around and realizes she is in the kitchen, where Sakuya has left many pastries, all ready to be eaten. For a moment, she thinks of jumping back up, however, a large cherry pie with whipped cream topping gets her attention. She stares at it for a moment, blushes and JUMPS straight toward the cherry pie with here eyes looking like large pink hearts and shouting "MY ONE TRUE LOVE~! *munch munch munch* OHH, so sweet... ooh, a cherry!"

Back at the top, Ail cautiously leaves the corner he was just in, looking at all corridors before stepping out while saying "hey, Cirno, are you alright? We have to get out of here, Cirno. Before-" "Before what?" asks a child-like, yet mature and powerful voice. Ail trembles as he turns around and spots Remilia flapping her wings with force just feet away from him, smiling at him with a most mischievous smile. Ail tries to back away but Remilia shouts at the top of her lung "STOP RIGHT THERE!" Ail gulps as he and Cirno tremble in fear. Remilia's eyes glow scarlet, bearing her teeth as she speaks. "Anilan Inmodo Leuch... Ail. I have selected you to be my eternal companion in the darkness of the night. Now, come here and let us begin the ritual for your conversion to vampire." Ail sweats and says "sorry, but I'm not ready for that yet." Remilia screams to the air in a rage and strikes Ail so fast, he could barely see her. The impact is so strong, she sends Ail and Cirno flying in different directions. When Ail gets up, he spots Cirno 10 feet away from himself, unconscious on the floor. Ail gets angry and shouts "you IDIOT! Look what you did to Cirno!" Remilia stands dangerously close to Ail, pulls him by the shirt and casually says "I don't care about weak little fairies. Now, this will only hurt for a second." Remilia opens her mouth and pulls Ail's neck close, but a cold missile strikes her back, making her shriek in pain and letting go of Ail.

Remilia turns around and snarls at Cirno, who stands firm and says "I am the strongest, and don't you dare forget it!" There is a glint in Remilia's eye, and Ail knows this can't be good for Cirno, so he crawls as fast as he can in front of Cirno, and in the blink of an eye, various claw marks cover his forearms and one single mark on the left side of his face. His blood drips on the floor as he manages to turn around and smile at Cirno, asking "are you ok?" Cirno angrily replies "hey, don't do that! That's supposed to be for ME!" A tear falls from Cirno's eye, then she places her hand on her chest and asks "why does this hurt so much now?" Ail smiles and says "let me handle this now, Cirno... and thanks for your help." Cirno wipes the tears from her eye and quietly nods, then quickly hides behind a small ornamental table. Ail turns to face Remilia and asks "you are much more powerful than the last time we fought, Remilia. Tell me, did you let me win that night?" Remilia smirks and says "so you finally figured it out. Reimu wasn't fooled, you know?" Ail feels a strange sickening feeling in his stomach as he asks "why did you let me win, then!?" Remilia hisses at him and says "what does that matter!? All that matters now is for YOU to become my eternal partner." Ail defiantly replies "that's NOT gonna happen!" Remilia growls then pulls out a spell card while saying "you DARE defy ME? I'll have to teach you who is the boss around here! Scarlet Devil - Sca-" Before she is able to finish her declaration, Ail pulls a spell card and shouts out loud "BRIGHTNESS - BLINDING HEART!" Various rings of light, accompanied by large orbs of pure light grow from Ail's own heart and strike Remilia just before she finished her spell declaration, sending her back almost 50 feet away, and blowing up the outside walls in the process. Ail smiles and says "two birds with one bright stone. Let's go Cir-" Like a blur, Remilia grabs Ail's arms and pushes her face as hard as she can toward Ail's neck. At just inches away from claiming her prize, Ail manages to free his right arm and block his neck. Remilia takes a bite, causing Ail to scream in pain as he shakes his arm, trying to force her to let go. When she realizes she missed, she lets go and backs away. She slurps and smacks her lips then says "ahh, refreshingly delicious, but not exactly what I wanted. Now, let's try again." An icy gust from the left traps Remilia inside a solid block of ice, and that's when Cirno says "you can't beat a genius as strong as me." Ail smiles and says "come on Cirno, let's go." Cirno follows Ail outside, looking with wonder at his wounds.

At the Hakurei Shrine, Reimu happily hums to herself as she ties up a rope to a tree. From close by, Maribel says "umm... miss Reimu, why are you doing all this?" Reimu giggles and says "because I want no interruptions when he comes." Renko sweats and says "you are being so UNFAIR! Let us GO!" Reimu dusts her hands and says "why? So you can get in my way? No way. You stay there and wait like good little girls, alright?" Renko and Maribel are now tied together to one of the shrine's trees, Maribel wiggling her ears in discomfort and saying "this is so uncomfortable. And I need to use the bathroom too!" Renko panics and shouts "Reimu, Reimu~, Reimu~~! You have to let Mary go, NOW!" Reimu scoffs and says "I'm not that gullible." From behind Reimu, a loud thud rattles the floor. Maribel asks "er, miss Reimu? What was that?" Reimu pulls out her gohei and some charms from under her sleeve and says "just a really large bug. I'll take care of it." Reimu calmly walks toward the crystal knight, who just stands there, staring at her. He raises his arm above his head and prepares a large concentration of energy. Reimu smiles and waits for his next move. The knight laughs wickedly and positions himself ready to fire that large concentrated bullet at Reimu, but the moment he moves, she sends a charm under his feet, making him drop the energy on himself, making him scream in agony. She confidently walks closer, smiles again and says "you lose... and after all those preparations, too." She grabs a spell card and shouts "Treasure Tool - Yin-Yang Demon God Orb!" A large yin-yang orb made out entirely of pure white energy engulfs the knight, causing him to scream loud into the air as his armor turns to ash and the light slowly consumes him. Reimu only watches, as the silhouette of the knight disappears along with the energy orb. She scoffs and says "I guess he was all bark and no bite. RIGHT GIRLS!?" Renko shouts "did you just finish off the knight!?" Maribel trembles as she shouts "I really need to use the bathroom Reimu~!" Reimu laughs and says "yeah, right. You wait there. Ooh, he's gonna be so happy when I tell him the knight is no more!"

At the Misty Lake, Ail finishes cleaning the last of the wounds by the water, then bandages his arm with some first-aid cloth he had in his pocket. Cirno says "you should have let me protect you. A bite like that could have NEVER done that to me!" Ail chuckles and rubs her head as he kneels by her and says "thank you very much, Cirno." From behind him, Sakuya asks "Ail, what is going on around here?" Ail flips away and faces Sakuya saying "Sakuya, listen to me. The same lust spell that took over me yesterday has taken over you and all the other girls!" Sakuya exclaims "WHAT?! So that explains why so many girls were chasing the men, back at the village. Even Kyo and Rinnosuke." Ail looks at Sakuya's eyes and asks "wait, you're not affected?" Sakuya shakes her head and says "Patchouli mentioned yesterday that the spell doesn't affect everyone." Ail takes a sight of relief and says "thank goodness. I wasn't looking forward to fighting you now." Sakuya looks at him confused, then he says "Cirno saved me from Remilia a little while back. You should go thaw her out." Sakuya nods and says "the Hakurei Shrine looks calm. You should go there, see if everything's ok, and if it is, get Kyo and the other men there, or there might be trouble." Ail laughs and says "funny how girls become so dangerous when.... Never mind." Sakuya stares at him dangerously, but then smiles and says "I'll go take care of my lady now. Good luck to you" then flies back to the mansion. Ail turns to Cirno and says "Cirno, thank you very much for helping me today. I owe you one." and rubs her head as he finishes his sentence. Cirno stares at him quietly, then nods. Ail lifts off into the air just as Daiyousei flies next to Cirno. Another tear falls from Cirno's eye as she grabs her chest while watching Ail leave. She sobs then says "Dai-chan? Why does this hurt again?" Daiyousei worriedly asks "hurt? Where does it hurt!?" Cirno pats her chest with the palm of her hand and says "it's the second time. It hurts. Can you make it go away?" Daiyousei turns Cirno to her and gives her a hug, then Cirno starts sobbing more. She pats the ice fairy's head and tries to comfort her to the best of her abilities.
