>Try concentrating on the Red Gem.
If that fails to produce results,
>Try to mentally inflict FIRE upon the Specter-thing with the Red Gem.
If that fails
>Try holding the Gems together and hope/pray really really hard something helpful will happen

>You concentrate upon the Red Gem.
>You feel a sort of tingling sensation in your palm; no, in both your palms.
>You...think that you can feel something curious in your mind, like a thought you cannot control. It doesn't hurt or anything, it's rather like getting a phrase or song stuck in your head, but it's not so complex. Rather, it's more like an emotion. A sense of curiosity. You think you can understand that it wants something. No...it wants to know something.
>It wants to know if you accept it.

>You agree to accept it.
>The tingling from the gems spreads over your skin in the blink of an eye, then sinks into your body. Then the feeling fades, leaving warmth.
>You feel stronger now, more powerful than you were a moment ago. You feel as though you could create more complex, more powerful danmaku now. Looking at the red gem, you can feel its power. You feel you could invoke flames with it whenever you wish. You can feel the Blue Gem as well, and that its power revolves around light. You feel you feel as though you could use it to create light from it, or to focus its light into a beam. You feel that you could mingle the power between these two, or affect your danmaku or your spellcards with.
>The gems lift gently from your hands, and begin to float behind you.

>You find yourself almost eager to test it out.
>You honestly have no idea what it wants. But you can't imagine it is friendly; at the very least its knowledge of social interaction is completely wrong...

> Launch some light danmaku at it.

>You fold your hand into the classic finger gun, and send a barrage at it.
>You've never been able to invoke so much danamku with a single barrage before; there must be at least half again as many shots as normal!
>The bullets, real and fake, fly toward the apparition. A couple shots connect with its hand, causing it to recoil. Its face does not react, but you see its eye moving now, looking around in the wake of your attack.

>You look it in the eye. Then you focus the light around you just so, then let loose a beam of light from them. For a moment, you cannot see for the light, but you are aware that this contains more intensity than you've ever been able to conjure. You vision clears to reveal the apparition is gone.
>You forehead and the bridge of your nose begins to ache distractingly in the wake of your last attack.

>It did feel pretty cool, but you don't want to do it too much. Still, you get the feeling you've only touched upon what you could do with these gems.
>Looking around, you see no signs of the apparition, or its shimmering hidden form it had before you unmasked it. The wolf seems equally confused by events, as it is looking around, sniffing at the air, and whining. The animal has taken to hiding in some brush.

>You toss the wolf the Raw Lamprey Filet. He approaches it, sniffs at it, then snaps it up and starts to eat while wagging his tail. You can't help but smile at the scene; it seems your assured the poor thing from his fears.
>You resume the path to Scarlet Devil Mansion. You quickly become aware that the wolf is trotting along a few yards behind you. As well, you have two gems quietly floating in the air behind you.

>"Hey," says Meiling, "Remilia told me to tell you to go up to her suite when you finished that job for her. Just take the stairs up to the tower, and hang a right." She then looks at you oddly for a moment. "Did you know that you have a couple of jewels floating behind you?"

> Head for Remilia's suite.

>You head inside Scarlet Devil Mansion. In the Foyer, you see Sakuya is busy washing the windows with one hand, while holding the Young Basset Hound in the other while humming a tune to herself. As you expected, the Young Basset Hound begins to bark at you. Sakuya studiously ignores you, but you are pretty sure she is blushing.
>Following Meiling's directions, you ascend the stairs and climb up into the tower. Soon you come to the top and find a set of open double doors to the west, leading to your goal.
>You enter Remilia's chambers. She maintains a lovely suite, with her own sitting room, dominated by a huge loom, a dining room with balcony, and an expansive bedroom with an equally expansive four-poster bed. Obvious exits are east.
>You see Remilia is in the sitting room, in the process of writing something while cradling in her free hand a curious gem-studded sphere with a cross on the top. She looks up as you enter. "You have good news," she says, sounding more like a demand than a question.

>You remove the Precious Framed Print from your backpack and hand it to Remilia. She takes it, and looks over it. Her face splits into a fangy grin, and she begins to cackle. "Oh, this is wonderful, Reisen. This is absolutely wonderful!" She reaches over, toward the wall, and tugs on a small string.
>"Yes, Mistress?" comes Sakuya's voice a moment later, as she strides into the suite.
>"Take this," says Remilia, "and display it properly in the foyer."
>Sakuya takes the Precious Framed Print and examines it. "It will clash horribly with the current decor," she says. "Will that be a problem."
>"Redecorate, then" says Remilia. "Just shift things in and out of the galleries until it's looks proper."
>"Very well, Mistress," says Sakuya, bowing to Remilia then departing.
>"Nowthen," says Remilia, grinning at you, "You've rather warmed our heart today. Please, sit down. The whole moon incident? Forget about it. It never happened as far as we're concerned. And tell me, what can Scarlet Devil Mansion do for you?"

>Remilia shakes her head. "Not that we can recall. We tend not to collect gems, and the few we have are more ornately cut."

> "Shall I go ask her now?"
