>Not yet, the danmaku doesn't seem to be strong enough or the proper kind to affect physical things. It also seems the two are moving away from it, and more toward open fields.
>You make your way toward Mitsu, taking your time to pick your way around the stray bullets. Thankfully, most of them are running out of power before they reach you.
>The kappa looks over at you and says, "Wow, she's good."

>You look up and see that Iratsume's spellcard has broken. However, Flandre's has clearly taken quite a beating. Frankly you expect it to run out shortly, anyways.

>"Oh, I'm fine," comes the Shrine Maiden's voice from around the corner. "Do you two want to get out of the rain?"

>One can modify their spellcards if they wish correct ?

>Depends on the card and what you are plotting to do. Many have some wiggle room in terms of aiming and the like. However, straight up altering a card can be difficult and time consuming, and would probably require approve of...probably a Hakurei Maiden? You don't know how it works anymore.

>Iratsume declares a new spellcard, but you can't quite hear what it is. It does seem to involve summoning a lot of diagonal shots from left, through.

>The three of you watch as Iratsume and Flandre continue to trade blows. Flandre is definitely more agile of the two of them, but Iratsume seems to be able take some significant punishment before being forced into making her next move. Flandre  makes her way through most of Iratsume's card before pulling another of her one; you recognize it as Cranberry Trap. This gives Iratsume a fair amount of difficulty, she has a hard time with attacks from all sides. Still she manages to power through a lot of it before declaring a third card. This one seems to involve trapping its target between two walls of bullets and forcing them to dodge large shots that leave wakes of bullets which uncurl into flak that litters the field. Flandre has some trouble with this, but soon gets a feel for it.
>You hear approaching footsteps. Glancing over, you can see the last soldier returning. She doesn't seem to be taking any kind of offensive stance, instead watching the battle above.
