>"Well, I would suggest you do go."
>"Anyways, now that we are finished here, there are several other matters that I must attend to. Our next stop, I think, shall be the Scarlet Devil Mansion. I... kind of forgot to bring up the issue of who will run the vote with Remilia. It will need to be a third party, of course, for reasons I probably do not need to elaborate on. My thought was Satori Komeiji, but the August One suggested Suika Ibuki. I am not sure Remilia will agree to Suika, though; Suika spends a lot of time in Bhava-Agra, after all. So before we look into getting her cooperation, I need to check with Remilia or a representative-she said Patchouli could serve as such-about having Suika run the vote."

>"Satori's kind of a weird choice," says Tenshi, "But I guess either one would work."

>"The underground will likely be unaffected by the outcome of the vote, so anyone from there is unlikely to care which way the vote goes. And who could ensure honesty better than one who can read minds? So, yes, I thought that requesting her assistance was a good idea. The August One suggested Suika, however, so we will look into that option first. Let us go ask Remilia-or Patchouli-as to her thoughts on the matter."
>Assuming no objections, head to the SDM.

>You enter the mansion, and see several faeries furiously dusting the artworks in the foyer, as well as a celestial wearing what you're certain is one of Sakuya's uniforms.
>Entering the library, you can hear the laughter of a small child and a dog barking somewhere among the shelves, off the your left. Heading inward, you see Patchouli at her table, flanked by two stacks of books and staring intently at the tome in front of her.

I think I'll recommend the dance concert toMeiling to save tempers. She can't approve it but she can relay it, and she's more likely to know about Juniper's availability than Patchouli.

Well, so much for getting approval for Suika first. Although...

>"Do you expect she will approve of this choice?"

And that works, Kilga.

Okay, so you want to hit the mountain next, right? I'll let you handle the Aya-related stuff.

Yeah, let's save Patchy's temper for the time being and talk to Meiling instead.

> "Understood. I apologize for intruding and will bother you about these matters no further."
> Leave the library and head back to the gate.

>"Thank you," says Patchouli.
>You depart. As you make your way out, you hear a number of loud thumbs against the floor. "Flan!" Patchy shouts, "What did you do!"
>"Nothing!" comes Flandre's voice.
>You return to the gate, and find Meiling talking to to her Celestial assistant. She looks over, then nudges the gate open while says, "All done?" The Celestial curtsies toward you.
