>"Did we really destroy those two that were the leaders though? The rest lost focus, but I could've sworn something emerged from them and flew straight through me to escape..."

>"Did we really destroy those two that were the leaders though? The rest lost focus, but I could've sworn something emerged from them and flew straight through me to escape..."

>"I hope we did..." Reimu replies, "Fighting those things was annoying as hell..."

[Neovereign]

>"You can say that again. Hopefully we can resolve this current incident before this Genmukai stuff becomes a problem."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"You can say that again. Hopefully we can resolve this current incident before this Genmukai stuff becomes a problem."

>"Hopefully..."

>You're now approaching the Moriya Shrine, however, there seems to be a bit of an... interesting... development going on in front of it.

>The fairies' igloo is still there, but on the opposite side of the shrine path there is a second one, which appears both structurally unstable and hastily cobbled together. There is also a line drawn in the snow between the igloos, with the bonfire in the middle. Fairies on opposite sides of the line seem to be glaring at each other. A fairy by the first igloo, one of the two fairies you met on the first day, seems to recognize you, and waves.
>There is a small group of Fairies on the line that seem to be fighting. One fairy is lying on the ground, while two others appear to be pulling on her wings, while simultaneously kicking her. A fourth fairy is trying to help the fairy on the ground by attempting to hit her aggressors with a stick, unfortunately she's missing every swipe. Maybe because she's definitely standing too far away to hit either of them, or maybe it's because her eyes are closed.

>"Well this looks like it's going to be annoying..." Reimu comments.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Reimu, you and Mima take Marisa inside. I'll...fix this. I should've known they would break into conflict sooner or later."
>Approach the fairies and grab one of the attackers.
>"Explain yourselves."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Reimu, you and Mima take Marisa inside. I'll...fix this. I should've known they would break into conflict sooner or later."

>"Alright." Reimu replies.
>You switch places with Mima, and she and Reimu carry Marisa into the shrine.

>Approach the fairies and grab one of the attackers.

>You grab one of the attackers, her companion jumps and stops her assault.

>"Explain yourselves."

>"She crossed over the line!" the fairy you're holding exclaims, "The rules on our side say that those who cross the line need... P... Puh... Puny-sh-munt... because they crossed the line because hairy-tacks aren't allowed on our side of the line they aren't allowed to cross!"
>"But the rules on our side say that you're all a bunch of dummy-heads and that none of your rules should be taken more seriously!" the fairy with the stick interjects.
>"Why you little-!" the other attacker yells, before rushing at the fairy with the stick.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Alright, all of you better listen well right now! This is me and my goddess' shrine, so we make the rules, not you. Now all of you apologize to each other, unless you want to go back to freezing in blizzards without any more stuffs and thingies from us."
>Set the fairy down.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Alright, all of you better listen well right now! This is me and my goddess' shrine, so we make the rules, not you. Now all of you apologize to each other, unless you want to go back to freezing in blizzards without any more stuffs and thingies from us."
>Set the fairy down.

>You set down the fairy.
>"B-But we can't apologize to hairy-tacks," she says, "because that would be like acting more friendlier towards them, meaning we'll be branded hairy-tacks too and be axe-aisle'd to their side!"
>"Kinda makes you wish you didn't leave with that stupid-head that calls herself a leader now, doesn't it?" The fairy with the stick remarks.
>"Shut up hairy-tack! We wouldn't have left if your stupid super-mayor-madame-empress-president-queen-mayor agreed with our leader!"
>"Super-mayor-madame-empress-president-queen-mayor is NOT stupid!"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Uh...Both of you go tell your 'leaders' to come here."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Uh...Both of you go tell your 'leaders' to come here."

>"Yeah, we'll get her!" the attacker exclaims, "Then you'll see we're right!"
>She runs off towards the haphazardly built igloo.
>"Oh yeah, well super-mayor-madame-empress-president-queen-mayor will tell you that we're right!" the stick fairy declares before running off to the original igloo.

>About thirty seconds later, the attacker fairy emerges from the poorly-constructed igloo along with a fairy with large wings and a purple dress, wearing what appears to be half a watermelon on her head. The two walk over to you.
>The stick fairy emerges with the sunflower fairy you encountered on the first day. Upon taking a few steps out of the igloo, the sunflower fairy gestures towards the other fairy from the first day, and together all three of them walk over to you.
>"Oh, hi green-haired lady!" the sunflower fairy says.
>"You know her?" the watermelon fairy asks, "Then I bet she's a hairy-tack too! What do you want, hairy-tack?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"I want you two to explain why there is another igloo and why you two are fighting. If I don't like the explanation, there's going to be some problems."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I want you two to explain why there is another igloo and why you two are fighting. If I don't like the explanation, there's going to be some problems."

>"Well," the sunflower fairy began, "yesterday, after you gave my secretary here the idea to start a village for just fairies, she told me, and I was like 'Why not?' So this morning we started drawing plans for where our future village will go. I said that we should find a field somewhere near the foot of the mountain to build it. But then this stupid head-" The fairy points to the watermelon fairy, "-says that we should build it up here, and that building a village far from this shrine makes us hairy-tacks!"
>"And it does!" the watermelon fairy exclaims, "You can't do the pray-thingy if you're miles away!"
>"So, we can just fly back here!" the sunflower fairy argues, "Or, better yet, we can build... what's it called..."
>"A statue." the other fairy from the first day replies.
>"Yeah, a statue of Miss So-Wacko and we can do the pray-thingy to it instead, right?"
>"You dummy! You can't do the pray-thingy to a rock! You won't get stuffs and thingies that way!" the watermelon fairy frowns.
>"We will too!" the sunflower fairy yells back, "Anyway, this stupid-head managed to get about a fourth of us to agree with her, and they left and built that igloo over there..."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"I told your secretary or whatever NOT to build a village. But now that you've explained it more, I'm actually considering it. Come with me, we'll speak with Suwako-sama about this."
>Head into the shrine.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I told your secretary or whatever NOT to build a village. But now that you've explained it more, I'm actually considering it. Come with me, we'll speak with Suwako-sama about this."
>Head into the shrine.

>You head into the shrine, the watermelon fairy, as well as the sunflower fairy and her secretary follow you.
>Nobody seems to be in the shine's main room at the moment.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Oh...Well, uh...I suppose I'd be okay with you making a village and a statue far from here. But you still need permission from Suwako."
>Head into the living room

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Oh...Well, uh...I suppose I'd be okay with you making a village and a statue far from here. But you still need permission from Suwako."

>"Ha!" the sunflower fairy exclaims.
>"Shut up, hairy-tack!" says the watermelon fairy.

>Head into the living room

>You head into the living room.
>Marisa is laid out on the futon. Mima is floating nearby, talking with Suwako. Reimu is leaning against one of the walls.
>"So... What happened?" Suwako asks.
>"She was hit by some stun magic." Mima replies.
>Reimu notices you, "It's about time you- What are these fairies doing in here?"
>Suwako looks over, "Oh, hello Sanae. How goes the incident solving? ...Any sign of Kanako yet...?"
>_

[Neovereign]

>"W-we've been busy with some troublesome things, though we might be getting closer to finding a way to stop the cold... A-anyways, the fairies want to make a village near the foot of the mountain and a statue to worship you Suwako-sama. Thinking about it now though, lady Kanako might want a statue of her too, if she knew about this."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

Thinking about it now though, lady Kanako might want a statue of her too, if she knew about this."

>"Well, that's good to hear, I guess..." Suwako replies, "And they really want to do that? Along with a statue? Well, I, for one, am flattered... You're right that Kanako would probably want a statue as well... If only she were here..."
>"A fairy village?" Reimu asks, "That's a disaster waiting to happen..."
>"Nuh-uh!" the sunflower fairy exclaims, "It will be a paradise where all fairies will be welcome, provided they agree to the rules... And a place where fairies can settle down and live! Besides, if the humans have a village, then why can't we? Also, what's a Kana-thingy?"
>"Hey, Reimu, I bet you ?1500 that it'll end up working ~Ze!" Marisa declares.
>"Heh, you're on!" Reimu answers, "But just to let you know, that money is good as mine."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Kanako is the other goddess of this shrine. Yes, we have two. You can be the leader, I guess, sunflower fairy. Oh, and don't get Cirno mad, or things will probably start falling apart."
>"Now, Mima, shouldn't we get back to investigating? Or do you want to stay and make sure Marisa's alright?"

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Kanako is the other goddess of this shrine. Yes, we have two. You can be the leader, I guess, sunflower fairy. Oh, and don't get Cirno mad, or things will probably start falling apart."

>"You have two?" the sunflower fairy says in amazement, "is... is Kanako just as nice as Miss So-wacko? Or is she mean? ...And that's super-mayor-madame-empress-president-queen-mayor to you!"
>"No! She can't be the leader! She's a hairy-tack!" the watermelon fairy exclaims, "If anything, I should be leader! I already have a good portion of us looking up to me! Also, what's a Cirno?"
>"Oh, my cousin knows who she is! She's a fairy that lives by that biiiiig lake!" the sunflower fairy's secretary answers.
>"Oh yeah... I remember her..." the sunflower fairy adds, "She's not important. She won't care about the village."
>"So, is she like a named fairy?" the watermelon fairy asks, "I wish we had names..."
>"Well, me and super-mayor-madame-empress-president-queen-mayor have titles, so I guess that's close, right?" the secretary asks.

>"Now, Mima, shouldn't we get back to investigating? Or do you want to stay and make sure Marisa's alright?"

>"I'm ready to go whenever you are..." Mima replies.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"I'll let Suwako tell you about her, I have to go. And don't cause any trouble melon head. Do take care, as usual, Suwako-sama."
>Head back outside.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"I'll let Suwako tell you about her, I have to go. And don't cause any trouble melon head. Do take care, as usual, Suwako-sama."

>"You too, Sanae..." Suwako replies.

>Head back outside.

>You head back outside, Mima follows you.
>By the first igloo, you see the fairy that was holding the stick comforting the fairy that was being beaten.
>"So... Where are you two going?" you hear Reimu's voice say from behind you.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"We're going back to the kappa. As I said before, we had unfinished business there, which is why we were there before you were. Now, if you don't mind, we'll be going."

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"We're going back to the kappa. As I said before, we had unfinished business there, which is why we were there before you were. Now, if you don't mind, we'll be going."

>"Fine..." Reimu replies, "Anyway, I'm going to head to Mayohiga. I think I need to have a little talk with Yukari concerning this whole Genmukai thing... I'm sure your goddess won't mind being stuck with Marisa for the next hour..."
>_

[Neovereign]

>"Okay. Who knows, maybe she'll end up converting her."
>Fly back to the Marsh.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"Okay. Who knows, maybe she'll end up converting her."

>"Yeah, like that will ever happen..." says Reimu before taking to the air.

>Fly back to the Marsh.

>You and Mima start flying back to Genbu Marsh. You initially travel in the same direction as Reimu, but eventually she turns off towards Mayohiga and is soon out of sight.
>You arrive back at the Marsh. The construct army is still scattered across the area. The portal to Genmukai is also still there, hanging in the sky, but it's a little smaller than it was earlier.
>It's starting to snow again.
>_

[Neovereign]

>"That rift still being there is unsettling."
>Hurry inside and back to the elevator room.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>"That rift still being there is unsettling."

>"Well, at least it looks like its getting smaller..." Mima replies.

>Hurry inside and back to the elevator room.

>You and Mima enter the door in the cliffside without much resistance along the way. Together, the two of you make your way back to the elevator.
>_

[Neovereign]

>Enter the elevator and push the button labeled Reactor.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Enter the elevator and push the button labeled Reactor.

>You do so.
>The doors close and the elevator music begins to play again, you feel the lift begin to descend.
