> The fairy still looks confused. You figure this concept is beyond her mental capacity. After all, all nameless fairies can do is fly, talk, prank and use danmaku.

[Word of GM: If Daiyousei ascended, because she's INSANELY smart for a fairy, eclipsing even other smart fairies by multiples, she would likely be on par with geniuses like Ran, Eirin, and Yukari. Intellect is her defining feature. Like Cirno's desire to be the strongest is hers, and Lilly's obsession with spring was hers.]

Have Dai ascend.

...

Have Dai ascend.

Daiyousei suddenly encases herself in an emerald shell, and, five minutes later, emerges and challenges Yukari, Ran and Eirin to a 3v1 game of shogi... and wins.

The sake-intoxicated minds of those three had absolutely no effect on that. Nope.

> "Well, no-one knows what triggers ascension, it's probably different for each fairy. I think Daiyousei would have to be seeking to increase her knowledge to a near-obsession. After all, Cirno wanted to become the strongest, and Lilly loved the spring with her whole being." Eirin says. "I think for a fairy to ascend, it's triggered by a long-standing desire to improve their defining trait."

> "Uh... not so loud with that fact please." Keine says quietly, adding, "Humans don't know yet and are not ready to know yet."

> ", Youkai do generally live as long as they are not killed, they are supernatural creatures after all... although half-youkai I think only have extended lifespans... unless they happen to have the ability to manipulate history to change their date of birth." Keine says, with a cheeky smile.
