>"As for shrine maiden types, that's kinda a short list, isn't it? I can't imagine it's Reimu, and even if the Moriya Shrine is kinda suspicious sometimes, I don't think Sanae herself's a very good liar, if she had a hand in it. I suppose there's that one that Eirin supposedly has contact with on the moon, but that's a long way off. Anyone else I'm missing?"

I might consider Suika, but it's not exactly characteristic of her, nor really within the realms of her power, as I understand it."
>"Koishi and Satori do mind things, don't they?" says Maribel. "They might've been involved?"
>"And speaking of Eirin," says Patchouli, "She does have Yorihime, who is an exemplary shrine maiden as well as a great pain for everyone else who isn't a Lunarian. She has shown willingness to meddle with Gensokyo in the past, for the sake of the ideals of her home."
