>Are we capable of moving now?
>You're not sure, the pain hasn't begun subsiding yet..
>"I can try, or maybe you can carry me?"
>The fairy nods to you again. "It's fine, I can carry you if you can't do it... I think."
>Give it a try.
>You struggle, but in vain. You can't take off in your current condition.
>The fairy observes your attempt and frowns. "Guess that means I'm gonna carry you."
>She walks down to the bottom of your crater to pick you up, revealing her battle damaged poofy white dress. Nothing special about it in comparison to other fairies' clothes, apart from the small yellow bowtie on the collar of her dress. You estimate she's about 3/4 the height of Reimu, which is definitely in the upper spectrum of normal fairy height. Transparent white butterfly-like wings spread behind her back.
>She picks you up with only her right arm, since her left one seems to be injured beyond the ability to function.
>She presses you against her flat chest in order to maintain a firm grip on you with only her right arm. She barely manages to climb out of the crater and starts to limp towards the nearby forest. Poor thing, she's had her share of grievous bodily harm today. Also, there's many wounded fairies suffering on the field who Reimu just couldn't finish off on the spot, so your carrier has to avoid stepping on them.
>After limping to the edge of the forest, she crawls under a large bush and places you on her right side.
>"We made it. Let's see if red-white's up to anything." You've no idea why she's whispering to you, since Reimu definitely can't hear you from this far away. Especially not while up in the air.
>Don't fairies have a compulsion to attack Reimu?
>Most fairies do seem to be hostile against her and other prime youkai exterminators, but of course, there are exceptions. Best one you can think of are the Three Fairies who apparently live near Hakurei Shrine.
>You're unsure why this fairy has shown care for you instead of typical fairy behaviour, and why she wants to avoid Reimu right now. Whatever her motives might be, she seems plenty serious about this current situation.
