>Yeah, though hopefully Yumeko can do it without the whole exploding thing Rika warned us about
>But it is in Makai anyway and Shinki can make it not explode...right?
>We should probably go ask her.
>Anyway..."Well if she just needs time now, if we get her to Shinki she could wake her up! With her out of it they probably broke the machine in Makai by now."
> You get the feeling that if Shinki could have stopped the machine herself she would have. That said, she can probably stop it exploding.
> If you want to go to Makai, you'll need to see Alice, so she can use Arctic and Antarctic to open the portal to her old home, and from there go through Yuki and Mai's realm, and find the portal to Pandemonium itself.
>Well, Shinki did mess with a soul once, but that was an emergency measure to save Yumeko.
>"And I should probably get Yukari to do something about the smaller absorbers Rika managed to get too. Just to avert anything messy in the future. We already nearly lost some of my friends who evolved to bein' Sprites after all. I'd rather not deal with more magic-drainin' stuff again."
> She didn't mess with a soul, if Yumeko didn't have the will to live burn so strongly, Shinki wouldn't have been able to do anything. Shinki made an artificial body and guided Yumeko's soul to it. She did nothing to Yumeko's soul.
> "Don't worry about that." Eirin says with a small smirk. "You and Kaguya were the only ones to leave, right?"

> Two hours ago:
> You are Hatate Himekaidou. You've just witnessed one of the best danmaku fights you've seen, while a mad scientist dangerous to all youkai got her mitts on technology that can absorb magic.
> Rumia, Kaguya and Yukari have just left with Yumemi viva gap, but the story isn't quite over yet. You're not a moron, you know it would be dangerous for the Tengu to let Rika have access to Yumemi's absorption technology... or at least let her have it without the Kappa having any to make a countermeasure.
> Also here are Yuki, Mai, Remilia, Flandre, and Sakuya. You're not too sure about the status of the last, seeing as she collapsed due to exhaustion a few minutes ago.
