At the Hakurei Shrine, Hatate quietly changes the medicinal water for Rika, while Aya dozes off on the floor next to Shinki, who regardless of complaints, continues to pet Aya’s head and back, making the tengu reveal her wings and petting those as well, all while smiling whimsically and drinking some tea. Hatate prepares everything and promptly returns to Rika’s side, immediately placing the damp cloth on her forehead, saying “there we go, sis. You focus on getting better and let us handle things around here.” Shinki smiles and says “you are so kind to my gi-gi, g-er...” Shinki’s face gets sweaty and pale as Hatate stares with confusion, then nervously and quickly says “you are a very kind girl, miss tengu!” Hatate stares suspiciously, then says “Rika-sis is a kind girl too and deserves some special treatment.” Shinki giggles, relaxing as she does, and before she can say any more, the door to the shrine opens up and a sweet voice asks “where is she!? Is it true she’s ill?” Shinki and Hatate raise their heads, then Shinki exclaims “miss Byakuren, is that you!?” Byakuren looks around with worry in her eyes, then spots Shinki and exclaims “miss Shinki, it’s been a while!” Aya suddenly stands up and asks “what’s going on? Why are you here?” Byakuren pulls a newspaper out of her pocket and says “I read all about it! Miss Rika is sick! I came to see if it’s true! Where is she, and where’s Reimu!?” Shinki gets up and signals Byakuren to calms down with her hands and softly says “she’s right here”, then turns to reveal Rika on the ground behind her. Byakuren gasps and immediately walks right in and kneels next to Rika, brushing the hair from her forehead and in a sad tone she says “the poor thing. How could those goddesses do that to her?” Aya stares at Hatate and exclaims “you wrote about this!? And right under my nose, just like that!?” Hatate frowns and squares off against Aya, then says “don’t lower me to your level! I would never have done that! It’s, like, unfair to Rika-sis!” Hatate suddenly gasps and backs away from Aya, then forcefully pokes her shoulder and says “YOU! How could you write about it like that!? You’re probably just desperate for readers, aren’t you!?” Aya and Hatate smack heads hard, growling at each other and pushing against each other with their heads. Byakuren kneels next to Shinki, both quietly looking with curiosity at the quarreling tengu, then Byakuren says “but this paper isn’t from either of you two. It’s a new paper with more accurate and up-to-date news. It’s called The Wolf View Report.” Aya and Hatate shout at the same time “WHAT!?”, then grab the paper right out of Byakuren’s hands and begin to look at it. Immediately, Aya gasps in horror, then Hatate exclaims “that sneaky wolf!” Aya exclaims “LOOK! She even wrote in how our face would look when we read this! How did she do that!?” Hatate clenches the paper and places it right on her face while reading frantically, then exclaims “impossible! She’s got a weather forecast!” Shinki and Byakuren drink tea while smiling whimsically and stare at the two tengu, then Byakuren says “it’s alright. I sometimes like to read old news. It helps me know what I may have missed.” Hatate’s and Aya’s faces turn blue, their eyes turn white, and both tremble as they stare at Byakuren, then Aya says “thi-this is...” Hatate finishes “so unfair!” On the newspaper, under the name “The Wolf View Report”, is the name “Momiji Inubashiri” as main reporter, and further ahead it reads “Edited by Nitori Kawashiro.”
At the Forest of Magic, above the valley full of caves, Yumeko, Mai, Sara and Luize wear camouflage helmets while Yumeko gives instructions through a movable chalk-board. She circles an edge with red drawings and says “so the first thing we have to do, is knock out that raven so we might have a chance against the other two!” Mai raises her hand and asks “Yumeko, ma’am, what if she uses another spell card?” Yumeko smiles dangerously, and in a sweet tone, she says “that’s why we have to take her by surprise! Any other stupid questions?” Yumeko looks around as the other girls just lower their heads, Mai growling softly as she does. Yumeko raises her hand and as soon as the chalkboard rolls away on its own, she shouts “alright, let’s MOVE OUT!” Meanwhile, farther ahead in the forest, Okuu draws a house with some stick people next to it, and a large sun. She points as the sun and says “that’s me”, then points at the people and says “that’s you guys”, then points at the house and says “and that’s home.” Parsee trembles as she glares at Okuu, then asks “why are YOU the sun? That’s not fair!” Okuu ignores Parsee and says “we have to fight those guys from before, again! We have to rescue Koishi-san and return her home, so we can all be happy, and eat many boiled eggs and probably some vegetable soup miss Satori will make! Is that understood?” Orin drools and slurps, and after smacking her lips she nods rapidly and says “yeah, yeah, yeah! That sounds like a GREAT plan!” Parsee stares at the two girls and asks “does that even make sense?” Orin shakes her head, snapping out of her confusion, then says “wait, Okuu, I told you they don’t have Koishi-sama! They are looking for some Yuki-girl.” Okuu completely ignores them both and says “battalion, FORWARD!” Orin sighs and slumps, but still follows Okuu. Parsee pats her back and says “it’s ok. It’s not your fault you are not like me!” Orin glares at Parsee and says “you’re not helping!” The moment they all come out of the bushes, Pandemonium and Chireiden are face-to-face once more. Yumeko growls and stances for a fight, while Okuu only glares, then looks at them with confusion. Yumeko threateningly says “alright, change of plan, girls! We go all out!” Okuu points at Yumeko and asks “and who the heck are you!?” Parsee smacks Okuu’s head and angrily says “you birdbrain!, it’s the girls that have Koishi!” From behind, Orin slumps and cries to herself “there goes the chance for peace.” Okuu stares at Yumeko again and says “oh, that’s right! FOR KOISHI~!” Yumeko summons 6 short swords and shouts “FOR YUKI~!” The Makai girls stand still, watching as Yumeko charges head-on, while the subterranean girls watch as Okuu runs in circles, raising her controller rod and yelling. Suddenly, Yumeko shouts “Dream Doll of the Subconscious Space!” Yumeko stops time around her and seems to be warping around Okuu, leaving a short sword every time she reappears, leaving a total of 11 short swords, and after she releases the flow of time, the swords fly straight at Okuu, splitting into 7 more short swords that spread unevenly. While the swords head toward Okuu, Yumeko flies up high and raises her left hand, unleashing a thick, green laser beam that strikes Okuu’s arm, making her flinch and get stabbed twice on the back, falling on the ground and successfully avoiding the rest of the swords. When the beam stops, it reveals countless short swords, all homing in on Okuu. Orin shouts “Okuu, do something you idiot!” Okuu manages to get up and flap her wings to fling the swords off, then raises a spell card and shouts “Raven Sign, Yatagarasu Dive!” Okuu rushes to Yumeko and manages to kick her hard higher in the air, cancelling her spell card, rushing along with her and surrounding her own body with radioactive energy, then tackles Yumeko hard, sending her crashing against a tree. Yumeko coughs and grunts as she gets back up, then looks at Okuu and grunts “you... I haven’t started with you!” Orin takes a few steps toward Okuu, wanting to stop her, however, Mai and Luize get in her way, then Mai says “if you try to double-team our friend, we’ll double-team you first!” Orin stares at Mai and says “I can’t let my friend get killed over a misunderstanding like that!” Luize sighs and says “Mai, maybe we should stop her.” Mai points behind herself with her thumb, then says “with that face, you think we can stop her?” Luize turns her head and notices the rage-filled face of Yumeko, then sighs and says “you’re right. We’ll have to let her tire out.” Orin points at Okuu and says “same goes for her.” Okuu smiles with excitement as she stares Yumeko, who raises another spell card while holding another blue short sword on the same hand. Meanwhile, Sara and Parsee have set up a game of checkers, then Sara suddenly says “king me!” Parsee grips her own hair and says “that’s the third one! Rah! This game is rigged!”
Down at the valley, Wriggle walks around with a worried face, calling “ghost lady~! Witch lady~! Where are you!?” She stops and looks around again, then calls “miss black and white!? Are you there?” There is a sudden gust of wind that makes a loud whooshing sound, confusing the firefly youkai, making her run toward the source of the gust, only to find out the wind is coming from inside a dark cave with a smoothed white stone on the top of the entrance. She looks inside it and calls “black and white witch, is that you? Miss ghost?” There is a deep, loud roar that comes from inside the cave, accompanied by a powerful gust that pushes Wriggle away and making her scream with fright. After she lands back on the ground, she starts to run next to a small stream, then suddenly trips and falls on her face. She gets up with a groan, rubbing her bleeding forehead, then looks back and exclaims “whoa! A human! Stupid creature, lying on the rocks like... wait a minute...” She stares at the body of Marisa from a distance for a while, then decides to get closer. She sniffs the body, then licks the dried-up blood on her shoulder, then finally exclaims “whoa! It’s Marisa! Wake up! Hey, are you alive? Wake up!” Marisa moans as she slowly regains her consciousness, then slowly tries to push herself up, until she yelps and drops once more on her right side. A bit concerned, Wriggle asks “whoa, are you alright?”, then notices a large gash on Marisa’s right underarm. She stares at it for a moment, then sighs and says “you humans are such weak creatures. Don’t worry, I’ll get that for you.” While Wriggle rips a long, thin piece of fabric from her own cape, 3 beetles come flying straight to her, one carrying a small bush with tiny white flowers, and the other two carry a leaf with jagged edges, each. Wriggle smiles and says “we may be bugs, but we sure know how to take better care of ourselves than you humans.” She chews on each of the herbs for a while, then spits them on the make-shift bandage and says “well... this thing stings ME when I use it... so this might just hurt a bit, for a human like you.” She gets closer to Marisa and starts wrapping the bandage with the herb mixture around her arm as gently as possible, then ties it up tight. She observes as nothing happens at first, then watches as Marisa starts to breathe more heavily, then suddenly grunts and violently jumps on to her knees. She asks “miss Marisa, how are you feeling?” Marisa hyperventilates, grabs hold of her right shoulder, then screams out loud, feeling as though the herbs are burning the inside of her arm down to her bone. Her scream echoes all the way back to the Forest of Magic, where Orin and Mai sit on the ground with their backs against each other. Orin’s ears twitch, then she asks “you heard that?” Suddenly, 4 short swords land stabbed on the ground right next to them, then Mai sighs and says “probably those two again.” A little farther away, Luize, Parsee and Sara play cards, Parsee glaring at the two girls while saying in an undertone “whoever’s the old maid, know that I am definitely NOT jealous of you!” Luize sighs and says “just pick your card from the deck already.” Parsee reaches for the thin deck of cards on the ground and picks the card on the very top. Upon placing her eyes on it, she starts to sweat, then says “these cards are loaded!” Sara and Luize exchange casual glances, then continue playing. Back at the valley, Marisa takes a few deep breaths, then Wriggle asks “better?” Marisa nods while taking some more deep breaths, then asks “have-have you seen Mima-sama?” Wriggle shakes her head, then Marisa asks “what about the UFO?” Wriggle thinks for a moment, then says “ah, that’s right. It’s completely destroyed.” Marisa weakly smiles and says “figures. I left my bombs and Nitori’s laser there. She’s gonna be mad at me, z...ze.” Wriggle stares at Marisa’s face, then asks “so what are you going to do?” Marisa rests her back against a large rock behind her, closes her eyes while facing the sky, then opens them up again a she smiles and says “I’m going to look for Mima. I can’t leave her behind.” Wriggle smiles and says “alright. I’ll help you. This little adventure is turning out quite interesting for me.” Marisa continues to smile, having some trouble breathing as she continues to face the sky and as she slowly closes her eyes shut once more, she says “thank you, Wriggle. Glad... to hear that, da... ze”, then falls asleep.
In the skies above the Forest of Magic, Ail and Reimu scout the ground below them while leading the way, followed by Sanae, Petal and Satori, and seemingly hesitantly, Kimi follows them while crossing her arms and looking away. Reimu and Ail get everyone’s attention when they suddenly exclaim “they’re up ahead!” Sanae sweats and asks “how do you know?” Reimu and Ail answer at the same time “just listen.” From a distance, Yumeko is heard shouting “I’ll be serving RAVEN for dinner! Alternate Reality, The World Through a Filter!” Okuu is heard replying “I don’t know who you are, but you’re going down! Atomic Fire, Nuclear Fusion!” Satori face palms and says “that idiot is using her spell cards up here. I’m going to have to scold her later.” Petal wraps her arms around Satori and rubs her face against her own, then says “Shatori-shama nice to Momkuu!” Sanae smiles as she places her hands on her pink cheeks and exclaims “she’s so adorable!!” Down under the trees, Yumeko spreads a dreamy light-green mist that surrounds herself and Okuu, then wildly fires short sword after short sword that rain over Okuu’s head, all hidden by the light-green mist. Meanwhile, Okuu unleashes a wave of miniature suns that melt away some of Yumeko’s short swords, while showering a spiral of blue orbs, all crashing against Yumeko’s swords and protecting Okuu. Yumeko’s spell is not over, as she unleashes a chain of blue short swords that form a net around Okuu, and once she’s trapped, Yumeko raises her right hand and releases waves of 7 extra-large green orbs that explode halfway through the field, becoming 10 scattered medium green orbs. Even though Okuu’s spell is causing Yumeko some damage, as least she can move freely, while Okuu herself is trapped between short swords, so most of Yumeko’s orbs strike her directly, even with her small suns and blue orbs covering the field. There is a loud explosion, and Okuu screams, while Yumeko shouts “I got lunch!” When the field clears, Yumeko stands victorious over Okuu’s body, raising her hands and summoning another short sword. The other girls beg her to stop and rushing straight to her, as she slowly places her sword on Okuu’s neck, then starts to tremble as she whispers “you stupid bird. That really hurt.” Yumeko falls on her back right next to Okuu, then manages to turn around to face the hell raven. Ail and Reimu land right next to them, as they start flapping their arms against each other, trying to continue the fight. Ail pulls Okuu away, saying “that’s enough already”, while Reimu pulls Yumeko away and says “calm down, miss maid. The fight is over.” Okuu turns her head to Ail and says “but they got Koishi-sama”, while Yumeko turns her head to Reimu and whispers “th-they got... Yuki... ow.” Ail and Reimu sigh, the Ail says “no one’s got anybody here!” Reimu adds “that’s right. Yuki and Koishi are playing around Marisa’s house right about now.” Okuu and Yumeko manage to look at each other, then both drop their heads back at the same time and cry “uuu~”
Back at the Hakurei Shrine, Hatate and Aya finish reading Momiji’s paper, and right after Hatate closes it up, she says “when I get back home, I’m, like, teaching that wolf some manners! I’m not an annoying brat!” Aya stares at Hatate and smirks, then asks “ayayayaya, so you plan to take her on, on your own? Good luck.” Hatate jumps on her feet and shouts “I know she’s strong, but I still have a chance!!” Rika suddenly starts to moan, sounding as though she is crying, then quiets down. Byakuren places a finger on her lips, and shushes Hatate, while Shinki angrily says “please, keep your voice down.” Aya quietly chuckles, then says “you wouldn’t stand a chance against Momiji. In fact, because I do pity you a little, I propose we team up against her.” Hatate rubs her chin while thinking, then looks at Aya and asks “you’re trying to trick me, aren’t you?” A whimsical voice says “oh, this is becoming more interesting by me minute.” Byakuren says “they are good kids, but a little loud.” Shinki adds “but they are quite cute, wouldn’t you agree?” Aya and Hatate blush as they exchange curious looks, then look toward Byakuren and Shinki, finding Yuyuko sitting right between them. Hatate asks “and who the heck is this? Where did she come from?” Byakuren smiles and says “this is lady Yuyuko, from the Netherworld.” Yuyuko raises her hand, smiling whimsically while waving her fingers at them and saying “hi~!” Aya exclaims “but I didn’t even see her walk in!” The crow tengu stare at the three women, all kneeling next to each other, then all three take a drink from their tea cups at the same time, all smiling whimsically and saying at the same time “oh my.” Aya and Hatate look at each other with frightened faces, then Aya says “do-do you see that?” Hatate shivers and says “for a second, I thought they were sisters.” All 3 women at the same time, says “oh my”, then Aya sweats and nervously whispers “they could be...” Both tengu stare at the 3 women, their faces turning purple as they stare into those 3 whimsical faces, all smiling back to them, as if there were no cares in the world. Aya and Hatate hug each other as they tremble more violently, then suddenly scream and fly away to the outside of the shrine, and on to a tree branch. The three women come out, looking a little concerned, then Byakuren asks “what’s the matter with you two?” Shinki places her hands on her waist and says “it’s like you’ve seen a ghost of something.” Yuyuko walks out with a tray of snacks and says “ara~. Let them be. Let’s enjoy this quiet moment while we can.” The tengu continue to hug each other and tremble with fear as the whimsical smiles return to the three women as they enjoy the tea and snacks while sitting on the shrine’s porch.
Meanwhile, outside Marisa’s house, Koishi and Yuki have filled up the giant washtub with water, and are soaking in with content looks on their faces. Koishi opens her eyes and looks around with a bit of confusion, then stands up, revealing her yellow and green two-piece swimsuit and says “you know what? We should go to the shrine. There’s a lake there, AND a lot of other cool stuff!” Yuki springs out of the water, making a loud splash and revealing a black one-piece swimsuit with a diamond-shaped opening in the abdomen, and with sparkles in her eyes, she says “lead the way, my friend! I’ve ALWAYS wanted to go there!” As they fly to the shrine, Koishi says “you’ll love it there. The goddesses have many secret rooms and trap doors, and the lake water is just divine, all year long!” Half-buried underneath the washtub, Kanako says “oy~! Get us out of here already!!” Suwako adds “don’t go messing up the rooms, or I’m smacking your cute butts with a paddle!” From the distance, Koishi and Yuki reply “ok~!”, then continue on their way. Kanako pulls herself with her arms in one last ditch effort, then finally frees herself from underneath the giant washtub with a loud pop, weakly exclaims “finally! I’m free.” Suwako complains “auu~! Get me out or here too!” Kanako rolls herself next to Suwako and grabs hold of her hands, freeing her from the washtub with another loud pop after pulling on her. Kanako sighs and weakly says “hey, Suwako. This water should be nice and hot by now. Wanna take a soak?” Suwako lies on the ground, staring at Kanako with her head on the ground and narrow eyes, then says “but I didn’t bring a swimsuit.” Kanako’s clothes fly on to Suwako’s head as she says “what are you? Some kind of whiny boy!?” Suwako smiles and blushes, then says “heh heh, I guess it’s like a hot spring, then.” The door to Marisa’s house lies just slightly open, some plants creeping their way toward it. Suddenly there are two splashes, then Suwako saying “ahh~, this feels good.” Kanako sighs, then says “all we need now is some sake.” Suwako sighs contently and replies “that sounds like a great idea.” Meanwhile, at Ail’s house, Budou wears a small bonnet on her head, while zipping around the house, dusting and cleaning everything she can reach, saying “papa’s back, he’s coming home! We can stay home, finally! I have to make sure everything is as it should be!” While she cleans, Lily White sleeps inside the closet of the storage room, covered by a white blanket while inside a basket. She hiccups and moans contently, then wraps herself up some more, smacks her lips, and whispers “sweet honey.”
Back at the Forest of Magic, Ail and Sanae treat Okuu’s stab wounds, While Reimu and Kimi treat Yumeko’s burn wounds. Ail looks at Okuu and says “you know, you should really take it easy with the accusations and attacking.” Okuu nods and says “I’m sorry already.” Reimu looks at Yumeko and says “you caused some real trouble! You are lucky I’m in a good mood, or I’d be sending you back home with a message for Shinki.” Yumeko lets a single tear escape her left eye as she smiles, nods and says “please, don’t. I’ll behave.” Meanwhile, Satori and Petal approach Orin and Mai, then Satori says “so glad to see you getting along.” Orin and Mai smile, Orin saying “well, you know. Once we talked it out, we came to some level of understanding.” Satori turns her attention to Mai, while Petal hides behind Satori, who says “I see, miss Mai. You are looking for miss Yuki. You’ll be glad to know she’s just fine, and should be back at miss Marisa’s house.” Mai’s face turns pale as she flaps her angel wings and asks “how did you know all that?” Satori explains “I’m a youkai that can read the heart. I am hated because of this.” Mai nervously replies “heh, i-it’s not really nice to do that.” While this happens, Orin stares at the shy Petal, hiding behind Satori, then points at her and asks “Satori-sama, is that Petal?” Satori nods and says “I was surprised too. She doesn’t look like she did back in the village.” Orin quickly says “maybe this is her true form.” Mai kneels down and tries to befriend Petal, but before she can manage to call for her, Parsee storms out from behind some bushes, angrily saying “stupid luck! That’s all there is!” Sara and Luize walk out of the bushes after Parsee, both smiling triumphantly, Sara saying “we beat you fair and square, miss jealousy. Oh, hello there.” Luize and Sara bow and present themselves to Satori while Parsee stares at them with contempt and thinks “oh yeah, sure. Now she gets all the attention!” She suddenly feels a heavy object hitting her abdomen hard, then looks at Petal as she rubs her face on her chest, saying “Parshee. I love you, Parshee.” Parsee’s cheeks turn red and her ears flip as she stares at the little girl, then asks “is that really you, Petal?” Suddenly, Luize exclaims “aww, what a CUTIE! What’s her name? She’s just adorable.” Sara adds “and she seems so affectionate too.” Both girls kneel down and call Petal, who hugs Parsee hard and buries her face on Parsee’s chest, making her smirk and say “well, Petal surely knows who’s the best here- EEEEHH~!??” Before she stops speaking, Petal’s curiosity takes the best of her, so she walks toward the two Makai girls, getting petted on the head and rubbed under her chin, showing signs of loving the special treatment. Parsee trembles with rage as her eyes glow an intense bright green, then she shouts “SO JEALOUS!!” Ail, Sanae, Kimi and Reimu, carry Okuu and Yumeko by their arms as they fly towards Marisa’s house, but stop when they come across the girls, then Ail says “we’re going to pick Koishi and Yuki up. Wanna come with us?” Satori and Petal immediately take flight, Satori saying “Koishi is my younger sister and my responsibility, so I’m coming with you”, then Petal adds “Shatori-Shama and Koishi-shama! Sisters are together!” Okuu blushes and says “my girl’s an angel.” All the Makai girls join in, Mai saying “it’s not that I miss her, but you might need help with Yuki.” Ail nods twice and says “she can be a pain in the-“ Sanae quickly interrupts, saying “come on, let’s get going!” Reimu flips her thumb up at Sanae and says “good save there.” As they all fly away, Orin joins in, shouting “hey, wait for me!” Parsee watches awestruck as they all leave her behind, then a tear escapes each eye as they glow intense green, then she says “alright. That’s fine! You can all just go away and leave me alone! See if I care!” Her expression suddenly changes as she snickers and smirks, covering her mouth with her hand and saying “that’s right. I’m gonna go to that red and white’s shrine and messing things up a bit. This will be GREAT!”
The large party find themselves in Marisa’s house quite quickly, landing next to the giant washtub. Reimu looks around and calls “Hey~! Koishi, Yuki, where he heck are you!?” From the washtub, Kanako calls “hey, guys! Over here!” Ail, Sanae, Reimu, Kimi, Orin, Satori and Petal are the first to fly up to the goddesses, however Ail immediately blushes and looks away, then says “I’ll... be over there”, then flies down and walks away from the washtub along with Kimi, who says “that was disgusting” Ail replies “tell me about it.” Kimi replies “you pervert”. Yumeko, Mai, Okuu, Sara and Luize fly up and join the rest, while Sanae stares at Kanako and Suwako, then exclaims “Kanako, Suwako, are you two...?” Suwako sighs with relief and says “yup. Ahh, the water’s just divine.” Kanako sighs and adds “it’s just hot enough, and really, it feels GREAT like this.” Sanae sweats and says “for a pair of gods, you two are quite shameless.” Kanako replies “I’m telling you, this is like the perfect hot spring.” Sanae closes her eyes and asks “whatever. Where are Koishi and Yuki?” When Sanae opens her eyes, she sees empty clothes floating down to the ground, then finds the missing girls all soaking contently inside the hot washtub water. Reimu face palms and says “this is turning more dangerous.” On the air, only Reimu, Sanae, Satori, Yumeko and Petal remain, while the rest of them sigh with relief inside the water. Satori covers Petal’s eyes and says “I see. It seems our mischievous girls left to your shrine, miss Sanae.” Reimu growls and says “they just can’t stay still!” Sanae squeals with fright and exclaims “what!? They are alone in our shrine!? Do you two realize the damage they could cause!?” Ail shouts from afar “plenty of damage, that’s for sure!” Kanako calmly says “aw, come on. You are both overreacting!” Yumeko growls and says “you don’t know the destructive powers of that child! She’s like a hurricane!” Mai calmly says “well, good luck you guys!” Sara adds “make sure she doesn’t escape, miss Yumeko.” Luize adds “oh, and don’t use the pink ribbon on her yet. She’ll run away.” Yumeko shakes her fist at them and says “once you are decent, I’m going to punish you!” Orin purrs and says “you can do it, Satori-sama!” Okuu adds “say hi to Koishi for me, will you? Thanks.” Satori sighs and says “Okuu, you shouldn’t give such bad examples to Petal. She’s a growing girl after all.” Petals asks “Shatori-shama is growing?” Satori pats Petal’s head, while still covering her eyes, then says “you’re a good girl.” Sanae growls and says “look, we’re going to get those girls, but any damage to the shrine will be taken care of by you two, understand?” Kanako and Suwako both sigh, then Kanako says “you better get going, or you’ll be left behind.” When Sanae looks ahead, Reimu, Satori, Petal, Ail and Kimi are already on their way to the shrine. Sanae gasps and shouts “hey~! Wait for me! Geez, so impatient! I said WAIT!” Reimu shouts “hurry up, you slowpoke!” Sanae shouts back “Ail, how could you leave me behind!?” Ail replies “I thought you were going to take a soak!” Sanae shouts “sorry to disappoint you!” Ail replies “geez, what did I say now?”
Later at noon, Parsee arrives to the Hakurei Shrine and decides to land on the back, snickering as she contemplates what to do. The moment she lands, her mischievous smirk vanishes when she hears voices coming from inside the shrine. She bites down on her thumb and says to herself “dammit, there’s someone here! I can’t do a thing with witnesses... Oh but wait. What’s this? Jealousy?” Parsee’s ears perk up when she feels jealousy energy in the air. From inside the shrine, Hatate says “once Reimu gets back, I’m, like, going after that wolf!” Aya quickly replies “not if I get her first. Face it, I’m too fast for you.” Hatate replies “I can still kick you down!” Shinki calmly says “girls, remember what I said. Keep... your voices... down.” Inside the shrine, both Aya and Hatate say “sorry” and bow at the same time. Byakuren kneels next to Rika and places her hand on her forehead, then asks the tengu “er, you guys?” Aya and Hatate stare with concern at Byakuren, while Yuyuko smiles and stares at Rika’s body. Aya asks “what is it?” Byakuren asks “is it normal if she gets cold?” Aya and Hatate panic and rush to Byakuren, saying “ah, too much!” Hatate says “we need warm water to bring her body temperature back!” Aya grabs the water bowl and cloth and says “on it!”, then rushes away to the hot spring. While she cleans the cloth and fills the bowl with the hot spring water, Parsee sneaks around her, and without waiting, she points her hands at Aya, almost singing as she says “feel jealous!” A green aura, only visible to Parsee, surrounds Aya for a moment, making her eyes hide under shadow while her body trembles. Hatate walks in, just as Parsee hides again, then asks “hey, miss ‘I’m really fast’! Where’s the water?” Aya turns to face Hatate, emanating a dangerous aura, whispering “who the hell does she think she is?” Hatate can feel Aya’s feelings and asks “hey, a-are you alright?” Aya suddenly flies away, leaving a green trail behind her and shouts “Momiji, you’re going to get it~!” Hatate shouts “hey! Hey~ you idiot! What about Rika-sis!?” Parsee points her hands at Hatate and surrounds her with her jealousy energy, snickering while doing so. Hatate’s eye’s hide under shadow as she whispers “now I have another fool who thinks she’s, like, better than me. I’ll show ‘em!” She turns to the hot spring and carries on where Aya left off and says “once that maiden get back, I’ll show them whose paper’s the best!” To Parsee’s surprise, Hatate’s loyalty towards Rika surpasses her jealousy toward Momiji, or even Aya. Hatate walks right into the shrine and says “alright, we need to spread this water on her body, and, like, place this on her head for a while.” Byakuren and Shinki reply “got it” at the same time, while Parsee bites down on her thumb, her ears twitching violently, as she stares at the shrine and says “she actually cares about someone that much!? I’m so jealous!”
Aya arrives to the Tengu Mountain by the time the sky is turning golden. Aya finds Momiji training with her sword at one of the many stone bridges in the area, and her jealousy soon escalates after spotting her. She quietly lands behind Momiji, who immediately howls, then says “Howl, Distant Link!”, then turns around to meet Aya and says “I am not cancelling my paper, so don’t waste your breath.” Aya gasps with surprise, then says “that’s no way to speak to your superiors! A-anyway, don’t think I don’t know about that spell you just declared!” Momiji growls with annoyance and says “miss Aya, with all due respect, I see no harm with me having my own newspaper.” Aya points at Momiji and shouts “and you’re already telling me there’s no harm, and so peacefully too! That’s it, I’m taking you down, now!” Momiji shrugs and says “I warned you.” Aya rushes toward Momiji with her fan ready for attacking, but Momiji takes advantage of Aya’s blind rage and simply side-steps away, then calmly pulls out another spell card and says “Dog Sign, Rabies Bite.” Momiji jumps after Aya and bites down on her butt as hard as she can, making the crow tengu scream in agony as she shakes her around like a chew toy, then tosses her away toward a hard wall, letting her slide down to the ground. Momiji sighs, then places her hands on her hips as she casually stares at Aya and says “jealousy is such a sad thing. I thought you were better than this, miss Aya.” She stands closer, then sniffs around Aya, then comments “I see. Hatate’s coming too. I better be... wait.” Momiji sniffs the air, then focuses her sights on the sky. She spots Reimu, Ail and Sanae, along with 4 more girls she can’t recognize, all flying toward the shrine. She focuses on Ail and notices how he smiles so contently as he twirls in the air, then she starts to wag her tail and says “miss Aya, look! Ail is back!” Aya moans, but doesn’t stand up, so Momiji ignores her and flies to greet the party, and as soon as she reaches them and greets Ail, Aya’s screams echo as soon as various blasts make the mountain rumble. Ail exclaims “Momiji, I’m so glad to see you. Umm, what was that?” Momiji bends her ears and says “heh-heh, it’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.” Momiji can’t help but wag her tail while looking at Ail, then says “you look different. Like a shiny new chew-to~ I mean, sword!” Ail sweats and chuckles, then says “err, thanks. Say, you wouldn’t happen to see two girls pass by around here, would you?” Momiji points to the shrine and says “they’ve been partying ever since they got there.” The party looks toward the shrine and notice danmaku bullets, blasts and fires all over the shrine. Sanae cries “MY SHRINE~!” then flies ahead. Reimu giggles and smirks as she says “welcome to Gensokyo, Moriya Shrine.” Satori and Yumeko face palm and say at the same time “that girl is impossible.” Petal hugs Satori and says “Koishi-shama, she’s having fun Shatori-shama!” Reimu comments “well, let’s not just float around here.” Reimu, Satori, Petal and Yumeko fly ahead, while Kimi and Ail stay behind. Ail smiles at Momiji and says “I’m coming to visit properly after I finish a few things here. I want to say hi to Nitori and Hina too.” Momiji wags her tail and nods, then says “see you then”, and flies back down to the mountain. Before Ail and Kimi continue to the shrine, Kimi approaches Ail and asks “hey... can I really...?” Ail smiles and signals her to follow him, and as they fly to the Moriya Shrine, Ail says “right now, you are needed here, and there’s something else.” Kimi looks with confusion, then Ail continues “if you want, I can help you free that soul of yours.” Kimi pouts and looks away, then says “thanks, but no thanks! I can do that myself!” Ail chuckles and says “suit yourself. But my offer stands, so if you ever need...” Kimi interrupts him by saying “yeah, yeah, whatever. Just stop talking already. You’re making me dizzy!”
At the Moriya Shrine, Sanae holds her head as anxiety and despair claim her after seeing half the shrine engulfed in flames, while the other half is full of holes on the roof. Reimu smiles as she approaches Sanae, then places a hand on her shoulder and says “come on. Just let it out already.” Sanae trembles as she bites her bottom lip, then suddenly takes a deep breath and scream “MY SHRINE~!!” From the lake, Koishi says “well at least they are strong! Not like your silly little flames!” Yuki replies “oh yeah? They are still PINK! That’s so disgusting!” Satori bows to Sanae, followed by Petal as she stare curiously at Satori, who says “I am terribly sorry about all this.” Sanae turns to Satori and rapidly says “it’s ok, it’s ok! Let’s just stop them already!” At the lake, Koishi smiles toward Yuki, then raises a spell card and shouts “Rekindled, The Embers of Love!” Pink hearts trailing luminous orbs of blue, red and pink, fly out of Koishi’s closed eye and bounce off every surface, even the water, trapping Yuki in a terrorized state. Yuki raises a spell card with her trembling hand and says “yo-yo-you use t-t-t-too much p-p-pink! Fire Sign, Hot Under the Grill!” Yuki starts to dance in the air, waving her right index finger, then from her fingertip, fire comes out and she starts to draw circles all over. Koishi smiles confidently, thinking she can dodge those with ease, however the rings of fire suddenly appear as domes that surround her and suddenly finds herself trapped inside one of the domes. Inside the dome, intensely hot orbs scatter randomly, making Koishi despair as she looks for a way out. She immediately finds a circling gap in the orb and manages to exit through it, then Yuki says “big deal, you found the exit. Take THIS!” The adjacent domes start unleashing circles of flames, making Koishi dodge carefully. Now both girls find themselves dodging each other’s attacks with great care, as to not get hit by either their opponent, or their own attacks. At the shore of lake, Reimu sighs as she crosses her arms and stares with a bored expression. She looks to the right, then says “finally, it’s over. I’m gonna head back to my own shrine. I’m worried about Rika.” Sanae grabs Reimu by her shoulders and shakes her violently, then asks “what!? What about my shrine!? Who’s going to help me with those two!?” Satori sighs and says “I promise, I’ll help with your shrine repairs.” Petal adds “flowers and trees, and all from me~!” Yumeko sighs and says “after I give that girl a good scolding, I’ll make sure she personally pays for the repairs.” Sanae smiles angelically and tilts her head left, then says “that’s all very nice, and really, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” Sanae’s face suddenly twists with both rage and fear as she shouts “but what about stopping those two terrors!?” As Reimu flies away to her shrine, she looks at Sanae with that bored expression of hers and says “already taken care of.” Sanae asks “oh really? By whom!?” From the distance, Ail shouts “you two are WAY out of line!” He swoops down from the clouds with a pair of ghostly, flaming red dragon wings and tackles Yuki first, making her crash against one of Koishi’s hearts, and before Koishi can tell what’s going on, Ail tackles her against one of Yuki’s fire domes, then flies away just as both spell explode with great force. Koishi and Yuki fall to the lake water, but Kimi manages to catch them before they take the plunge, then takes them to the shore and tosses them to the ground, then says “there. I’ve done my good deed for this year.” Afterward, she flies after Reimu in a hurry, as though her life depended on it, while Shouting “Ail, the red dragon wings are sacred! I’ll get you for that later~!.” Sanae, Yumeko and Satori all stare at her with surprise and curiosity, then Sanae says “well, at least the shrine is safe.” Ail flies away toward the Forest of Magic and shouts “Budou’s waiting home! Sorry I can’t stay! See you guys later!” Sanae shouts back “wait! At least stay for some tea~!”, but he’s long gone, opening one of his gaps and immediately getting inside. Sanae sighs, then turns to Satori and says “well, there he goes again.” Satori blushes and asks “are maidens supposed to think like that!?” Sanae sweats and says “oh, that’s right... Um, you didn’t see a thing, got it!?” Satori nods and says “geez, I’m going home before something else happens!” Koishi groans as she gets up and says “so-sorry about the mess, miss Sanae. Say hi to Budou for me, although, I’ll probably come visit again soon.” Sanae smiles and sweats, then says “please, just no more messing around!” Koishi, Petal and Satori lift to the air and Koishi replies to Sanae “I make no promises~!” Petal adds “Shatori-shama and Koishi-shama are together again!” Koishi says “oy, sis. We have to teach her to speak propperly.” Satori replies “I have a good mind to punish you, little miss.” Sanae stares at Yumeko, almost wanting to ask her and Yuki to stay, but Yumeko simply nods and says “she’ll come back tomorrow and help with the damages. Sorry for the mess.” She lifts the barely conscious Yuki form the ground, who moans and says “pink hearts are evil.” Yumeko lifts to the air and flies away without saying another word. The shrine is quiet now, the lights are off, the roof is a mess, but Sanae is too tired to start working on it now. She walks to the porch and sits there, then looks at the darkening sky, then sighs and says “it’s... so quiet around here.”
Night at the Hakurei Shrine. Shinki flies to the gate back home, once again hooded, saying “you take care, and take care of miss Rika too.” Reimu calls back “thanks for helping too.” Byakuren finishes covering Hatate with a blanket and says “she fell asleep right after Rika recovered her body heat.” Reimu sighs and says “animals can be too loyal for their own good sometimes.” Byakuren giggles and says “well, I better head back home. You take care, miss Reimu, and make sure Rika keeps well rested.” Reimu smiles, though feeling slightly annoyed, then says “you don’t really need to remind me, but thanks.” After Byakuren leaves, Reimu turns around and finds Yuyuko smiling whimsically while sitting on the table in front of an empty snack tray. Reimu asks “and what exactly did you come here for?” Yuyuko replies “I was just passing by.” Reimu asks “well, isn’t it about time to head back home?” Yuyuko smiles and replies “you should be overjoyed I’m willing to stay here.” Reimu smiles, even though a vein pulsates on her forehead, then bluntly says “go back home, you!” From outside the shrine, Youmu’s voice calls “Yuyu-sama~! Are you there?” Reimu smirks, making Yuyuko frown with fright, then calls “she’s over here. Come and take her home already!” Youmu climbs the porch, revealing herself from the darkness of the night, then bows and says “I’m coming in, then.” She looks around and spots Yuyuko, smiling nervously and wiggling her fingers at her. She scowls and says “Yuyu-sama, do you know how worried I was?” Yuyuko giggles and replies “what’s life without a little worry now and then?” Youmu takes off her shoes and walks closer to Yuyuko, saying “what if something happens to you? I’m supposed to guard Yuyuko with my life, but if you keep disappearing like that, how am I supposed to uphold my duty!?” She suddenly notices Rika on the floor inside a futon with Hatate sleeping next to her, then asks “who’s that next to miss Rika?” Sounding rather annoyed, Reimu replies “that’s Hatate, another news hunter tengu. Rather annoying if you ask me.” Youmu asks “oh, so The Wolf View Report was right after all. That paper is pretty accurate.” Reimu asks “what’s that?” Youmu replies “it’s a new newspaper from another tengu.” As she replies to Reimu’s question, Youmu notices Rika’s sword leaning against the wall. She stares at it for some time, then sighs and says “it’s time we left, Yuyuko-sama.” Reimu notices a spark in Youmu’s eyes as she stares at Rika’s sword, but prefers to keep quiet, while Yuyuko smiles and tries as many excuses as possible to stay a little longer. Meanwhile, at Ail’s house, Ail lies on a futon in his room, looking up to the ceiling and saying “well, it can’t be helped. I’ll just have to build another bed.” Budou replies “you can always try the ceiling, papa. It’s very comfortable.” Ail sweats, as Budou is inside the futon with him, hugging his neck with a powerful, tight grip. Ail says “speaking of the ceiling, why don’t you go sleep up there. I told you, I’m not leaving again. Ever.” Budou tightens her embracing hands and buries her face on Ail’s chest and says “I’m not leaving papa’s side again! No matter what, or where, or when, I’m not leaving you!” Ail sighs in defeat, then brushes Budou’s hair with his fingers and says “Budou... I’m really sorry for all that happened to you. I promise, I’ll make it up to you, somehow.” Budou giggles and replies “buy me some grapes tomorrow and I might consider us even.” Ail and Budou laugh after that comment, then everything falls silent, and both slowly fall asleep. At the Moriya Shrine, Suwako and Kanako land right in front of the shrine, Kanako almost falling on her side, saying “ooh~ that sake was just great.” Suwako adds “who knew Mai could hide so much under those wings.” Kanako smiles, then laughs and says “you got that right, froggy. Girl’s got potential.” When they enter the shrine, they find Sanae sleeping on the ground, holding on to one of Budou’s favorite pillow. Kanako’s drunken state lifts almost immediately as she says “look at that, Suwako.” Suwako frowns and says “Kanako, we need to do something for her.” Kanako sighs and says “we do owe her... even after all those beating she gave us.” Suwako sweats and nervously laughs, then says “yeah. We kinda earned it.” Kanako sighs and says “we need to rethink our methods, Moriya.” Suwako nods and says “we owe that much to her, and Ail and Rika too.” From outside the shrine, the is a loud clanking sound, accompanied by a quick yelp. Suwako and Kanako run back outside the shrine and find Mystia drooling while lying on the ground, scratching the letters “S-U-C-C-U~”, but stopping at the second U. Kanako and Suwako look to the night sky and shiver as a crazed high-pitched cackle echoes all over the shrine.
The next morning, at the rocky valley, Marisa wakes up and finds fruits and vegetables of all kinds lying on large leaves next to her. The hunger she feels the second she opens her eyes is undeniably painful, so the moment she spots the food, she ravages the fruits, devouring them as though they could escape her at any moment. After eating her fill, she takes a few breaths and whispers “thanks... for the food.” From behind her, Wriggle replies “you’re welcome.” Marisa jumps to her feet after yelping, then exclaims “Wriggle! It’s you! Um, sorry for screaming like- UGH!” The pain on her arm becomes evident as soon as her body fully wakes up. Wriggle stares at Marisa and says “you should rest some more. Even with the treatment, you kept bleeding a lot.” Marisa stops holding her arm as the pain subsides, then looks around for a moment. She looks at Wriggle and asks “wait, is Mima around?” Wriggle frowns and looks down, then says “um, I haven’t seen the crazy spirit woman... but I did find this.” Wriggle reveals Mima’s crescent moon staff and says “it was at the entrance of that growling cave I found yesterday.” Marisa stares at the staff and immediately grasps is as soon as Wriggles offers it to her. She turns around, and at a distance she sees the cave entrance Wriggle was talking about, where a faint roar echoes from within. She stares at it and whispers “that rock at the top of that entrance... It’s so familiar.” Marisa clenches her fingers around Mima’s staff as she stares inside the cave, then straightens herself and says “we need to go get her.”

A/N:
Really, I want to thank you all for your comments and reviews. I am so glad to know these stories are to your liking! Also, sorry I don’t answer them individually, but I’m focusing on the chapters. Hope you don’t mind. Geez, this chapter took a little longer than I thought because of one sleepless night. So annoying, really. Wanting to sleep, but your eyes just keep opening up.
Ah well. Now we have to get Marisa and Mima back together, the goddesses are opening their eyes, Budou has her papa back, Kimi’s acting weirder than usual. There are still a few more unsolved incidents as well. Wonder what fun we’ll have with these *angelic smile*. Well, again, thanks for showing your support and please, keep showing that supports, it really helps with my inspiration too. See you next chapter, if the spirits will allow. Take Care
