> "Then I'll go and entertain her with stories about my adventures, and we'll sit and laugh. If Youmu shows... up..."
> Get a slight tinge of worry.
> "Sakuya, could you bring Flandre to Remilia's study? Just in case. Tell her Remilia wanted a portrait drawn of herself, and decided that Flandre is the only one to do it, that should get her to come along."
> Keep going to Remilia's.

>"Wait!" Sakuya says. "You think Youmu is after Mistress? Then it wouldn't be wise to put the Young Mistress with her. I'll make sure she is safe. You watch over Mistress."

>Sakuya looks momentarily confused by this gesture, then nods and runs down the stairs.
>You continue up the stairs, and come to the upper chambers of the clock tower, where the entrances to Sakuya and Remilia's chambers are.

> Enter Remilia's chamber.
> Locate Remilia.

>You enter Remilia's chamber just in time to hear the sound of windows breaking and throw your hands up to protect you face from flying glass. Despite these protective measures you're forced to take, you can see the Youmu flying into the room, fast enough to be a practically a greenish blur, tackle Remilia, and send them both careening through an opposite window.

> Do it in a badass manner though.

>You don't look very badass, but at least you don't get glass on your face or hands.

>Ponder just how hard that sun exploding hit you...

>You don't really have time to calculate this!

>Rush into the room Remilia and Youmu crashed into
>Yell "SAKUYAAAAAA!"

>You find they did not crash into another room, but rather have crashed through the opposing window of Remilia's chambers and are now outside.
>You yell for Sakuya.

> "Youmu, stop this at once! This is completely absurd! Severing fate is a ridiculous idea, who knows what effects it might have?!"

>You try to reason with Youmu, but she is too far away to really far away to hear you at the moment.

> Swear that you've seen this before. Several times. This kind of thing usually ends up with the Hakurei Shrine getting destroyed, and that's gonna lead to all sorts of problems.
> Try to get a target lock on Youmu.

>Tenshi is probably not involved, so the shrine ought to be safe.
>You go to the broken window, and find that Remilia and Youmu are on the roof of the kitchen wing of the house. Thankfully, Remilia had her parasol with her, as it will still likely be 20 minutes until the sun sets. Before you can take an action, you see Remilia declare a spellcard.

>You're going to pull the 'its cheating to help!' thing if we intervene again, aren'tcha.

>That depends on what you try to do. Certainly there are ways you can assist.

>You still won't let us fly, will you? If not, determine if you could get over to where Remilia and Youmu are, or if any of your spellcards could help out at this distance.
>If Sakuya arrives, show her the situation

>Of course you can fly. It stopped being far too hot for such things when you replaced the Sun. However, flight is a bit tiring if you do it too much. In theory, you could use reach her with several of your spellcards, but that would most definitely be inviting the wrath of shrine maidens and their friends for violation.
>Sakuya has not yet arrived.

>"Youmu! I know your blades can cut more than physical things, but at least try and talk through a safe procedure first!!" Or is Yuyuko being unclear to cause mischief again?!"
>violins

>"I apologize," says Youmu, though you aren't sure if she's talking to you or Remilia, "but I have my duties to carry out!"

> Roof, huh? Estimate how long it'll take Youmu and Remilia to disentangle themselves... oh, wait, kitchen wing.
> You know what? Remilia can handle herself, she is our esteemed patron after all, and it'd be rude to not allow her to stand up for herself. Prepare some tea.

>Normally, Youmu would be hard pressed to defeat Remilia. But you see that she has chosen her battle well. Remilia is caught in the sun, and thus has her maneuverability limited by her parasol. As well, she only has one free hand, which would limit her use of Gungnir severely. If Youmu can keep close to her, she will definitely have an advantage over Remilia.

>You need to blot out the sun. Do we have anything we could use for that?

>You can't immediately think of a way to blot out the sun with anything in your inventory.

> Fly up to the roof
> "Stop you idiot! Do you even remotely have any idea what severing fate could do?!"

>You fly to the roof.
>Youmu has closes in on Remilia, slicing through her danmaku and forcing her onto the defensive. Remilia, unable to retract her parasol hand, easily turn, or parry, is decidedly at a disadvantage here.
>"We shall be able to help your friend, for one thing!" says Youmu, not looking away from her fight. She ducks away from Remilia's claws, and pushes her advantage.

>"Wouldn't we only need to sever Jeff's fate?!"

>"Being choosy is difficult!" Youmu replies
>"What is going on?" shouts Remilia, just barely avoiding being skewered.

> Don't get close enough to cause a violation, though.

>You don't get too close. But so long as you aren't really hindering one side or the other, you should be able to get as close as you please.

> Aren't there rules for three-way participation in battle? Recall those.

>Some people have developed spellcards to let them fight with partners; such as Yukari or the Prismrivers. You've contemplated working on such a card with Koakuma, but more interesting veins of research have stopped you. Some, like Yuka, have found convenient ways to bend the rule. But just barging in, unless you and another person are specifically challenged, is most definitely a violation.
