>"Can you tell me what happened, Flandre?"

> Flandre scratches her head and looks bashful. The bashfulness looks somewhat insincere.
> "Sakuya came to
visit back then, and
had
this
strange
magic
around her. I
... thought it might
be bad. So I
...
I
broke
it!"
> Flandre grins.
> Remilia gives an exasperated sigh.

>Try to gauge why Remilia is exasperated.

> Flandre is probably too chipper about her actions for Remilia's tastes - no doubt the Lady of the Mansion wants her little sister to be more chastised about the matter.

before."

>"Well, you've likely never seen certain kinds of cake, as well, but if you were to be presented with one, would you think it's a bad thing? What I'm getting at is, was there anything that made you look at it and think 'That can't be good'?"

didn't come from
anyone I
know. Remilia
doesn't allow
strange magic
around.
So I
thought
I'd
help."
> Remilia nods.
> "That much is true. I am indeed partially responsible for the misunderstanding."

>May we get the Head Maid's side of the story as well?

> To avoid getting bogged down in more exposition: Sakuya confirms the story, and describes it as Flandre lunging towards her, and tearing through the air just ahead of her with both hands, accompanied by a sound almost like that of breaking glass.

> Yes and no. The enchantment in question is the immunity enchantment that protects non-participants. Flandre destroyed Sakuya's, in turn removing her own. Both now no longer have the protection, and are full-fledged participants.
> " I haven't
seen anyone
like
that."
> You check Flandre's hand. It glows with a soft 0. Technically-speaking, if you interpret the rules correctly, she didn't get into an actual fight with anyone, and thus has not won or lost anything.

> You leave the mansion. Everyone wishes you a good journey.

> In other words, being pests.
> Still, they always give you a friendly wave or a salute as they pass by.

> You reach the foot of the mountain. A single path leads up, along the side of a crashing river that calms down as it flows down into the plains.
> The sounds of music can be heard from further up the path.
