>What kind of danmaku can our adorable kitty self do right now?
>So far, you've figured out Bubble Danmaku, Arrowhead Danmaku(Chen taught you the trick to
that one after Cirno was rescued.), Kunai Danmaku, and the classic Laser/Beam. You haven't figured out how to get them to bend though.
>Ran once mentioned offhandedly that there was someone who could though, maybe if you find that person, you'll figure it out?
>Fairy Healing.
>Forget about the darkness, maybe some other time.
>Curvy Lasers followed by smaller, and faster ones~
>After the danmaku, pounce the nearest fairy and keep clawing her.
> Seconding.
>If we can't pull off curvy lasers, normal ones will do.
> Get Rumia to continue using her Shade Burst, bonus points if she can get at the most badly damaged fairy.
>Sensing a lull in the battle, Dai takes the chance to use Fairy Healing! She glows with a faint green light, and her injuries fade mostly! She's still got a few scrapes and such, but she seems to be in a lot better condition than she used to! Noticing this, one of the fairies slings a massive clump of Danmaku at her!
>However, she manages to see it coming, and fades out again until it passes!
"I-i can't let myself get hit by that!" Rumia, of course, lets out a cheer.
"Ha-ha! Go for it! Show 'em you're a better Fairy than those losers!">You haven't quite gotten the hang of firing multiple laser shots, so you settle for aiming for a Fairy, and firing a laser off! Unsurprisingly, thanks to the speed of the javelin-like shot, it hits home, eliciting a sharp cry from the Fairy Bandit! Won't be much longer before that one drops you think, but there's seven others to deal with as well!
>Of course, after seeing what you did to their comrade, four of them charge at you in a blind rage! One manages to nick you slightly with a wildly-fired shot,the second actually manages to catch you in the shoulder, the third completely misses, and the fourth actually crashes right into you physically! Maybe she forgot to fire Danmaku? Regardless of if she forgot or not, that one hurt the most!
>Regardless of that, you're really feelin' the hurt now! Maybe it would be a good idea to unload a Spellcard, or have Daiyousei heal you.
"H-hey now! Take too many like that and you're a goner for sure! Even if Danmaku's non-lethal and all, you can only take so much pain before you pass out. Trust me, I know!">Well, Rumia does have a point there, which Ran, and even Yukari herself confirmed in the past. Danmaku
is non-lethal, yes, but even Youkai have their 'Pain Limit'. Once that's exceeded, they can't fight back at all. And from how you're feeling, a few more attacks like that and you're down for the count.
>In the chaos, a shot that missed you clips Rumia's Ribbon just barely. Through the pain, you catch a wisp of...A blackish, er,
something escape from the nick, which seems to repair itself shortly after. And for a brief moment, while the wisp hangs in the air, you see a barely-there and highly transparent figure overlap with Rumia. You've got no idea what that means though, and it fades at the same time as the wisp does. It looked taller than her, that's for sure. You'd say it was just a little shorter than Ran. Speaking of Ran, maybe she's the best one to ask about that? So many unanswered questions!
>She doesn't seem any different for it though, but she does seem a tad dazed. Thankfully, one of the fairies that look like they're in charge of this group missed the attack she launched at Rumia, but the other one rounds on you and attempts to fire off a shot, but is startled into stopping by a voice you hear coming from atop one of the nearby trees!
"Wait!"~BGM: Green Messenger~
>Of course, the fairy, in her shock, can only babble out a surprised "H-huh?!" To which this voice responds,
"Accosting travelers as they make their way to someplace important, attempting to deprive them of their valuables. They call that, 'Thievery'.">Of course, one of the bolder fairies of the group seems to get a bit hotheaded at this proclamation. "Oh yeah?! Who the heck are you to be sayin' stuff like that anyways?!"
>Looking up to where the voice is, you see...That can't be right, Wriggle went the
opposite direction! And yet, here's someone who looks, sounds, and even
smells almost exactly like her. What's going on here?! It does kinda look like something Wriggle would wear though, she's got a nifty half-mask that covers her eyes and head. S'kinda like a visored helmet almost.
"I have no name to give to the likes of you!">Oh hey, it just became a full helmet-mask! That's
awesome! But you can't help but feel that this is somehow familiar, maybe you saw something like this on the TV Box once? More unanswered questions! Hooray!
"Hooray!" Get back to respawning already and stop bugging the poor parser...>Of course, the sudden interruption prompts Rumia to jump back into the fray after pulling herself together, and unload a blast of Danmaku that actually hurts your ears when she fires it off! One of the fairies that took a hit from her blast was the same one that you laser'd. She's really looking beat-up now! One of the fairies that looks like they're in charge also isn't looking too hot either, thanks to getting bombarded by the blast!
>Of course, the one that got hit the worst was one that wasn't particularly beat-up.
