>You imagine Remilia is having a good time, anyways.
>You have a large Mukyu of relief. Then you look around cautiously, just in case something is still lurking about. But it is safe. You did indeed win.

>Check and examine current status of quests


>Your current quests are:
>Destroy All Humidity
>You have vowed once and for all to make your library free of the threat of airborne water vapor. Now you need only cast the spell.
>Secret Collect!
>A Mysterious Robed Figure, who's identity you deduced in about ten minutes, wants you to bring her secret items. Only one left.
>Making Amends
>You've resolved to patch things up with Sakuya before she poisons you. Things have gone pretty well, with the help of Remilia, and Youmu breaking in.
>Find a Map of Gensokyo
>The name says it all, no foolin'. Doesn't anyone bother to keep these things up to date?
>Reunite the Prismrivers
>You have vowed to bring the Prismrivers back together; a world with only soloists is a depressing world.
>Dancing Lasers
>You've vowed to reclaim the formula for Non-Directional Laser back from Marisa. Oy...
>Now it is Personal
>You have vowed revenge against a certain Tengu for making a fool of you.
>You wonder if it might be possible to pawn some of these off on some other poor unsuspecting sap.

>"That would be annoying to carry out," says Rinnosuke. You aren't certain if he's joking or not, especially in light of how he viewed Wriggle earlier today. "I believe you have helped yourself to two items from my store. Normally, I would not be polite about such a circumstance, but I am lead to believe exceptional things happened?"

>He nods, once.
>You present him with the Book Entitled: Monday Magic by Patchouli Knowledge: 1500☼ (waterlogged) and the Silver Medal (unpaid). He notes the Silver Medal's condition first. "It needs to be cleaned. This should be no issue. Then he frowns at the Book Entitled: Monday Magic by Patchouli Knowledge. "This, however, will not do at all. What do you propose to do about this situation?"

> Watch Rinnosuke until he leaves.

>Rinnosuke takes the item and stores it away. "That should cover everything," he says with a smile. "Thank you very much." With that, he departs.

>Wow. We just pawned off Youmu's sword. We're turning into Nazrin! Better hope Youmu doesn't come to us later to get it back.
>After he leaves, lets retrieve the ingredients for Anti-Humidity spell we stored away in the library (and thank god we did)
>Preform the spell!

>You decide to put off worrying about the future and gather up the components that you stored away. Then you have to prepare them, which takes a little time. But it is not a major operation for you. The spell itself is simple. The hard part is making it permanent without disrupting the little magical touches already in place, and making it selective enough not to dry out one's blood the moment that they step inside.
>Once the components are ready, you double check your notes on the spell itself, then set to work. You find yourself in Kanako's debt once again. With her blessing about you, it is significantly easier to cast the spell, and you are able to do so with much less stress than usual.
>As you recite the final words, you watch the components evaporate into a fine mist and spread throughout the library. Within seconds, the mist disappears, and the air begins to feel dry. You smile, and test the spell by spitting on the floor. The saliva never reaches it. The Library is now immune to humidity, spills, and moisture-based predations of all kinds. At the same time, it's smart enough not to drain out a cup of tea or anything of that nature. Library Science has reached a new climax, and it is you.

>After performing the spell, clean off muddy trumpet, visit Shou's store.

>You set to cleaning the trumpet while resting up, then plan a visit to Shou's Clothes. You recall it was closed for the day when you visited it in the gray world.

>You check both of your damaged items, and find that the spell is not retroactive. You'll have to develop something else to deal with that, and that will probably take some days to properly research.

>Slap forehead, recall it is nighttime.
>Decide if there is anything you can accomplish tonight or if you should just watch the Remilia/Youmu battle then go to sleep

>It's very easy to forget that when you live in Scarlet Devil Mansion. It really is.
>You think that the tavern in the human town is still open, and you could probably bother people in their homes if you liked. You doubt something as mundane as nightfall would stop the Ancient City at all. Youkai mountain is probably not going to be very active, though maybe Nitori will be working on a light night project. You have no idea what the schedule is like at Eientei.

>You decide to head underground.
>Heading outside, you see that Youmu and Remilia are still at it. It seems for the time being, they've elected to cut back on Danmaku and clash with weapons. However, more than enough bullets are still flying around to keep things bright and pretty.
>You catch Meiling among the crowd, and ask her about Secret Items. "Never heard of 'em" says Meiling. "But Merlin showed up earlier, asking about those things. Just a little bit before Youmu got me in the face."

>You continue down the well-trodden path toward the Underground. At one point you pass by Kisume, who gives you a nod while she busily devours a sandwich.
>Arriving in the Ancient City, you look near the clinic and see that Keine moved on. Thankfully, it doesn't seem she's gotten far; as you locate her in the food district, picking up a fried...something or other from a stand. You note that Mokou is here with her, and is engaged in a staring contest with an oni running one of the stands.
