> If Aya's still there:

>You do not have this item.

>"...I'm going to murder Aya for taking a picture of me undressed in front of someone. Murder her."



>You look to the battle. Remilia is doing better than before, but you note she has a couple more wounds. Youmu has taken to maneuvering toward the west, which forces Remilia to either exposure herself to it, fight blindly, or leave some obvious gaps in her defense. It does not help that Youmu is clearly more skilled with a blade than she is. Remilia has gotten the weapon unsheathed since you left, and it leaves a strange rainbow afterimage in its wake. If nothing else, if it tough enough to stand up to Youmu's swords.

>"At that, could you stop time so I CAN KILL HER SLOWLY. Just a question, Though carrying it out would be wonderful."

>"Not right now," says Sakuya. "I think I'm going to try what you asked, though."

>"That would be wonderful, Thank you Sakuya."

>She nods, and draws out a couple knives. Then she stiffens her posture and stares at the ground with intense glare. She starts to breath forcefully, and you can see why she drew out the knives; she's gripping them with some white-knuckled force. If she hadn't gotten them out, she'd probably be slicing open her palms with her fingernails. Then she collapses onto the grass without a word. You notice the light is a little different now. Looking toward the horizon, the sun is definitely lower than it was a few moments ago. It should set in about ten minutes.

>A rainbow afterimage? Hmm... maybe that legend possibly is true. We'd best not sell that Cutlass to Rinnosuke or anything, at least not until we know more.

>Wonder if you could get Rinnosuke to check its use for free or otherwise.

>You swore you didn't feel any magic in it, though. But, you're sure you can convince Rinnosuke to do it for free, you've been one of his best customers today, after all.

>Well, it's not as though she'd notice if you just left her there. But you make certain she is alright. She's quite pale, but breathing normally. You think she just overexerted herself. ...Also you think her pads fell out somewhere, because she has dropped a couple cup sizes since a moment ago. And it'd be a good idea to do something about those knives.

>That and a dead maid is NEVER good.
>If Aya takes another picture, Kill her there.

>You are pretty much powerless to stop Aya right now if she decides to take some photos. But it seems she's more interested in the melee now.

>"No, but those are plenty weird, Patchouli!" Remilia cries back.
>You move Sakuya's knives so that she doesn't accidentally roll over onto them.

>Maybe her pads are magic? As soon as shes out of magic, the pads evaporate.

>That is plausible, maybe she got them from Kourindou. But it seems counterproductive, better to make it so someone has to search her to find out rather than find out the moment she runs herself dry.

>You most certainly are, there's always one that gets by...
>Also because you're noticing something else. That Ruined Hat just feels weird right now. You can't even put name to what or why, it doesn't look any different. But it feels weird, you can't put a name to the sensation. You would not have noticed it you didn't examine it. How long has it been doing that?

> Are there any sizable sources of metal around?  If so, use Silver Dragon or Metal Fatigue to provide shade.

>The mansion's gutters and rain spouts are made of metal. There is a probably a fair amount of that to be had.
>You involve Silver Dragon, and place it on the gutters. Then you direct them to reshape as quickly as you can. It is a lot of metal, but you do not need to be particularly precise or artistic. The gutters retract upon themselves, looking to all the world like a snake slithering away, and gather at the west end of the house. Quickly, the gathered metal rises up into the air to form a single aluminum sheet that blocks off the sun for that portion of the roof.
>You sigh and shudder, as the spell took more out of you than you expected. But you raised a shield. A flimsy, weak one that won't last more than a little while. But that will be more than enough time for the sun to set.
>Your current condition is: panting for breath, having difficulty standing.
>Remilia tosses her parasol aside, and grins at Youmu as she takes her sword in both hands. "Now we're going to have to teach you a couple lessons! Poor Yuyuko going to have to fuss over you so much when this is over, she'll be heartbroken!"
