> Yumeko's expression softens, just a little. She then shakes her head.

> "Ensure that no-one gets the Grimoire. Somehow; this is all connected to that book. I'm sure of it. I'm sure that Alice will be alright, but that is how you can best help."

> Yuki and Mai both chuckle a little.

> "Oh Yumeko, you do care." Yuki says.

// Add sidequest:  Mayina's "punishment": After having spared Mayina from Elimination we are now responsible for what he does in Gensokyo, we should look in to making him our familiar (or shikigami)

> Considering Yumeko's threat, you register 'Ensure Mayina dosen't return to Makai' as a Main Quest. The Familiar part, however, is added as a secondary quest. Upon doing so you note a requirement comes up for such a thing stateing 'Increased Magic required - Such a feat would require magic enough for you to, in effect, be his magic supply.'

> "Inquisition. Not investigation." Yumeko insists.

// You can't make a magical contract if you can't magically support it. Contracts are give and take after all. Besides; Mayina absolutely would not agree without him getting something significant.

// As for Mayina I'm hoping we can genuinely change his views on the world and make him our friend and midboss
// Saving him by "banishing" him was also pretty IC considering Rumia believes in the spell card rules and having been inspired by the Lumina story

/I know she interrogated him. Please reread what I said:

We didn't mention that fact to any of them or Mayina.
//We never mentioned it to him. How could she extract something from him that he didn't know?

// Mayina knew about the Grimoire since it was his "mission" and thats how we found out about it.
> "I guess I don't have much of a choice, although I am only a scout. I don't know the full picture." the daemon sighs. "I was ordered to find two things. The first was a powerful magical Grimoire that originates from Makai. The second was evidence that this world was not worth Lady Shinki's efforts."

// Though now that I reread more of the conversation Yumeko does indeed seem suspicious.  She somehow knew Alice has the Grimoire even though Mayina didn't (or at least showed no indication).  Additionally she was able to break the servitude contract (which Mayina explained only the master could break, even Louise was a little surprised at this).  Also the fact Mayina was blindfolded when he was brought here so he didn't see who was holding him.  Lastly it was awfully easy to convince Yumeko to spare him, I honestly was expecting us to have to roll a 20 to succeed.

//Was mostly referring to Alice and the fact that Alice had the Grimoire, yes. She couldn't possibly had known that unless Kogasa, the person who knew the most about Alice's situation in our group -- who also made some promises to Alice in our brief time controlling her -- turned traitor off-screen or something...

// Even if it is a little suspicious lets not do anything about it right now, like ask more questions or accuse her, she seems short tempered.
// If she really is the culprit then we might have to start worrying about or well-being since she showed no hesitation and almost eliminated Mayina, her own ally/subordinate.  Louise will probably not buy this since she is somewhat obsessed with how perfect Shinki and everyone around her is
// I doubt Kogasa would backstab us like that, shes had hardly any off-screen time in which were weren't in control of her.

// Ahh wasn't sure how it worked, I thought we could start the process and he would become stronger as we get stronger

> Yumeko just looks at you silently. Mai mutters... something but it's so quiet this time you can't hear it. Yuki says "Was interesting!"

> Louise just makes a mention to head back towards the gate.

// Yumeko has a very good reason for knowing about the Grimoire. Actually she has multiple reasons. Of course, one of the reasons could totally be 'She's the culprit'. But I will write off 'Kogasa somehow told her/Mayina.' Mostly because Kogasa's been in earshot of you the whole time and hasn't had any chance to talk to him or Yumeko alone anyway. So Rumia IC has the knowledge to rule out that possibility. [Unless Kogasa surprised everyone by suddenly developing telepathy, a very impressive feat considering she biologically dosen't have a brain to perform such a feat with because, you know... umbrella. Side note; if Kogasa met Satori I'd totally write it as Satori being unable to read her since she technically dosen't have a heart or mind to read. Miko could still hear her desires however. All ten of which would be surprise.]

It's also not a mistake. Yumeko knowing is very intentional. Characters can have other sources of knowledge then what your group says or does.

> "Also, what did she mean by Inquisition?"

> Louise keeps moving until she passes through the gate, only then does she stop, sitting upon her luggage bag and trembleing. Sara is noticeably not there, only the blue-haired girl is now.

> "What sort of fool are you?" she asks. "To talk back to Yumeko? Do you have any idea of what she is?"

> Louise exhales. She still looks unsettled, but her trembleing has lessened.

> "Yumeko is going to do exactly what she said she would. She is going to use the information from Mayina's mind to track down anyone who could have anything to do with it. Anyone aware of the plot will be Eradicated. As far as Yumeko is concerned, those who were aware but did not notify the authorities are just as guilty of blasphemy as those who actually partook. She will take their memories, for anything of use to track down more blasphemers, and then destroy them. Body and Soul, completely Eradicated. If they're lucky, no-one but Mayina and the actual culprits knew. If more people knew... Yumeko's Inquisition could wipe entire settlements off the map. Opposing her is completely impossible. She's honed everything to be the perfect Slayer of Daemon and Magi alike."

> Louise sighs. "That's one theory about Vina. Yumeko performed an Inquisition. Some think she wiped the entire city out due to some sort of blasphemy. The fact no-one survived makes it possible. But of course, that's exactly why no-one knows for sure what happened. Because there were no survivors."

> "You're lucky she didn't kill you." Louise replies. "Or even all of us! And it doesn't matter how people are punished in Gensokyo. This is Makai. I told you, Makai is a world where not just anyone can survive."

> "I'd wager he'll be back at the dimensional passage waiting for you."

> "That's why Yumeko is unstoppable." Louise states simply. "Allow me to explain. Firstly; Yuki wasn't lying. She is the strongest Mage in Makai. Mai is the strongest Daemon. Yumeko; however, could slaughter both of them in moments, without a scratch. Because she is neither Daemon or Mage. She's a Child of Shinki."

> Louise stands up. "Children of Shinki have incredible potential. With the Lady's divine blood in their veins, they can accomplish almost anything they wish. Yumeko... wished to become the executor of Shinki's will, since Shinki would not take direct action herself, she would act on her behalf. It's why she dresses as a Maid, because in her mind, she is Shinki's formost servant. And to be the executor of the invincible Lady Shinki's will; she had to make herself invincible."

> Louise puts an arm forward, and starts making movements along it with a finger from her other hand. "I'm sure you've noticed, most denizens of Makai utilize magical circles or runes to cast their magic. So Yumeko figured out a simple way to make herself invincible. A method as brutal and perfect as Yumeko herself. She tore her own body apart, carving magical runes and circles into it. Counterspells. Wards. Protections. Enhancements. Making the magic part of her. No... making the anti-magic part of her very being. Yumeko is simply invulnerable. And no-one in Makai can match her martial prowess either. And that's without even getting into her inherent ability; which alone would make her almost unstoppable."

> Louise pulls her arm back. "That is the terror of Yumeko."

> "Good luck landing a blow on her. As I said; she outmatches everyone in Makai in physical combat with ease. Makai is a world of magic, after all. Even then, her ability is Spacial Manipulation. If she thought herself outmatched in close combat, you simply couldn't get close to her. She most often uses it for teleportation."

> "She acts according to what she thinks Lady Shinki would want." Louise says. "She doesn't get orders from her. Shinki doesn't interfere. She lets Yumeko act as she wants. Believe what she wants. Even then, there's a difference between killing for a purpose, and killing for the sake of killing. Lumina threatened all of Makai; indiscriminately. Yumeko only threatens those who, in her books, have done wrong."


>Is Donnie still with us?
>"Hey Kogasa, are you alright? You've been uncharacteristically quiet for a while now..."

> Yep; although she looks overwhelmed and confused.

> "I'm OK." Kogasa says. "I was just looking for an opening to surprise those guys... I couldn't find one."

> "Miss Yumeko sure is a scary person~" a childish voice you don't recognize says. "But, you know, she's only doing what she thinks is right. Don't be too hard on her."

// Louise isn't angry, she's scared. She's calming down.
