>"Hey ! Not us ! We have nothing to do with this ! At least me and Lily..."
>Why would Cirno help Reimu ? Is it to test her strength ?
> You shout in panic as the needles close in.
> You ponder why Cirno is helping Reimu. You doubt it's to help the humans. Maybe she's testing her strength.
>Daiyousei's specialty is to warp through space or something, right? Are we capable of warping our whole group and the tray with the food (even without any cake left, it's still important!) away from the needles before we're hit (naturally, without stuffing us in a wall or something)?
>If yes, let's try that; if not or unsure, stick to the "get around them" plan.
>Grabbing hold of Rumia and Lily, the three of you start to fade out
just before the needles reach you, and they pass through harmlessly. Your trio begin to re-appear only a tiny bit further to the left than you were before. The food tray is still safe, as Rumia managed to hold onto it. That was still too close. You need to do something like that before they get so close.
>What do we know of relations between Cirno and Reimu (pre-Fairy Wars, at least)?
>While we're on the topic of Cirno's relations, did that memory wipe thing also affect her relations with the rest of the Team 9 or are we the only unlucky ones?
> Reimu fought Cirno barely a minute after beating you back when Misty Lake was covered in a red mist. Ever since then, Cirno has mostly had bad encounters with her, even at parties. These were usually because either Cirno played a prank on her, Reimu wanted to use Cirno for her chilling abilities, or because Reimu found Cirno annoying in general.
> You don't think so. Cirno still remembers Mystia, Rumia and Wriggle, but when it comes to you, she just treats you like a regular fairy.
> "Now Reimu," The bat girl starts, "Me and my sister
do eat humans, but we do not kidnap them from the village. We know it goes against the rules."
> "Chief Maid! We need to fly to beat her!" A fairy maid yells from below.
> "And as you can see, these fairies are just here to welcome you, hence why they aren't flying. You all may fly now." The bat girl says.
> The fairy maids take to the air and begin bombarding Cirno with danmaku from all angles. It all closes in tightly on Cirno until there is suddenly a huge amount of blue. The danmaku starts to freeze, rapidly chaining to the next bullet, then the next one, until almost all of the bullets and the fairies who shot them are frozen solid. They shatter a couple of seconds later.
> "Then why have I seen someone going near the village and back to this mansion? It's been happening rarely, but for a few days now." Keine says.
> "Although true, doesn't explain why you would suspect us of kidnapping humans. And I don't believe it was ever wrong for us to ever go near the village." Sakuya mentions.
