>You ponder a few different cards, and a particularly cockamamie mash-up. Then you recall some of the experimental cards you made, back when Aya was building up the case that got her thrown in prison. They worked, but they had a tendency to destroy the spellcard in the process, so you've never bothered to remake them. You could recreate them, but it seems a waste of a spellcard. And they may not be as good as they were, due to being a little rusty with them.

>You steel yourself, and take Emerald Megalith in hand.
>You open the door, and light floods in, followed by a wave of terrible heat/ Thankfully, you are wearing the Pair of Black Glasses, so the brightness isn't too bothersome. The heat, however, is at least as bad as what you felt in Blazing Hell, and a great deal more windy! Still, there's not much you can do except deal with it.
>Outside, you can see the Sun. It is about as large as Scarlet Devil Mansion, fusioning away like some attack of Utsuho's gone very wrong. And, in a sense, it has gone wrong. You can tell that the Sun is not happy.
>You have landed upon a small floating island, upon which the Sun rests. It is covered with a huge variety of flowers. Looking up, you can see a tiny, distant Gensokyo way above you.
>There is a rustling among the flowers. Looking toward the source of the noise, you see Yuka emerge from a stand of snapdragons, and give you a toothy, lopsided smile.

>You invoke Emerald Megalith, doing your best not to trample any flowers, and create a windbreak and a shady spot. It should last for a good half hour or so. Yuka draws out her own spellcard when you do, narrowing her eyes, but she doesn't use it yet. Still, she watches you suspiciously.
>You turn to Yuka, who is still regarding you with that grin. It frightens you in an entirely different way than Hourai and Reisen do.
>"And what would you be looking for, if I may?" she asks.

>Hourai is with you. She's busy hiding behind you at the moment.

>You take off the sunglasses, and realize this is a terrible mistake. Even behind your barrier, the contrast in brightness is so bad that it completely dazzles your vision and is almost enough to make you cry. As such, the latter half of your statement becomes more of a pained noise.
>"Yeah," Yuka says, as your eyes readjust, "Well, help yourself."
