> Patchouli: Call Koakuma.
Better call in the maid fairies while you're at it. They might buy you some precious seconds to stop the Black-White.

SS: Actually, it's pretty busy today. I don't really know what's going on, but apparently there was supposed to be some kind of big transfer today and there hasn't been any word from the Yama. Seems like she dropped the ball.

================================================================

Koakuma arrives on the scene. Fortunately, a CODE BLACK is just about the only thing you can count on this lazy familiar to respond to in a timely manner. You order her to pursue the target and attempt to drive her back towards the center of the library.
You don't have time to play around with the Black-White today. You decide to put one of your many ambush plans into motion so you can take her out in one shot.

Fairy maids start flooding the library. Trying to get them to follow any kind of battle plan is pretty useless, but they'll engage enemies on sight, making them useful as speedbumps.
If Sakuya was in earshot, she'll be on the way (or more likely, already in action), but you're not counting on it. The Scarlet Devil Mansion is a big place.

Koakuma attacks the Black-White, but the thief does not return fire and instead focuses purely on escaping. She must have something valuable!

The Black-White dives between a pair of high shelves for cover, but this will be her undoing.

Your magical tomes leap to the attack, covering the area with danmaku!

The thief is forced to slow down. Taking advantage of this, you jump out of a SECRET DOOR to cut her off!


OPERATION YELLOW BRICK ROAD is a smashing success.
You have Koakuma pull the Black-White rat out of the rubble.

That is not the Black-White rat you were expecting.

She asks if she can check out a book from the library.
