>Mumble something about how that might have not been as bad as actually SUMMONING the Giygas Made of Bees, but still pretty goddamn stupid.
>Check to see how much damage you've inadvertantly caused by doing what may have been the second most idiotic thing you've probably ever done.
>Also, look to the east again as you seem to vaguely remember feeling something... strange from there. Well, up in the air from there anyway.

>check status and inventory

>You have a look about. You see that Eirin is over there by the trees, kneeling down by Remilia, who seems to be stretched out on the ground in a manner not unlike yourself. Unlike you, she seems to be periodically grasping at the air. That's the kind of behavior you'd expect from Rumia. Aside from that, things look...fairly normal. No real devastation that you can pick out.
>Looking to the east, you can get a glimpse of some mountains through the trees.
>Checking yourself over, you are pretty sure that you're in one piece. You feel kinda tingly, though. But you think that is passing.

>"Well, I wasn't here to see it. Kaguya-sama told me most of the details. But apparently you shoved your face into some kind of substance. Then everything around here melted, including you; kind of. You made some odd noises, while Remilia was trying to stab you with her spear. Then you manifested a number of tendrils and cocooned her until she was knocked unconscious. I suppose it was a good thing Mystia wasn't here to see it. Apparently you shocked her badly enough as it was."

HALF of it? Try 'all of our ridiculous bullsh!t we've pulled' -- being Pedo Man 90% of the way up to this point, where we temporarily Digivolved into Pedothulu and NC-17'd Remilia to the point of Mind Crush.

Erm, we kind of owe HER at this point, not the other way around. Ask any more of her and we might find ourselves with one kidney missing again.

Or both. 'Sides, once this whole mess is over. Let's go and see if Eirin needs anything in particular. :x

And by this whole mess I mean the whole getting back the SDM thing.

Erm, don't we have to resolve the Scarlet Devil Mansion fiasco first? Or rather, shouldn't we resolve it?
