> Ask Kaguya how long it will take to finish what she is doing in manga chapters.
> Tell the bees they suck.
> Check if there are more touhous around.
>Kaguya doesn't answer. Perhaps what she is doing precludes speech? Or maybe she really is that lazy.
>You insult the bees. The buzzing isn't coherent enough to really make out a reply. But you swear you can make out the outline of a most disturbing-looking fetal being among them. You shudder.
>It seems you are alone here. Which is kinda weird, wasn't Cirno in the courtyard?
>OK, check stats. I'm losing my faith here...
>STATS mean nothing to the Z Machine! Only DEEDS! Such as it is for a true man, such as it is for the Z Machine.
>Apologise to Suwako for your earlier transgressions
>Pray to Suwako for more frogs
>You pray to Suwako to forgive you. You're not sure if she's paying attention. But the swarm certainly is, as it seems to sacrifice all to lunge at you!
>Use our skill of armor craftiness to form makeshift armor by combining Slightly Worn Towel, Electric Razor, The Clothes on your Back, Piece of Singed Dented Metal, Spare Sewing Machine Parts, and Rumia's ribbon.
>Thankfully, the swarm is still a bit night-blinded, so you have time to throw together something. You use the Spare Sewing Machine parts to attach the Piece of Singed Dented Metal to the Slightly Worn Towel, and drape it over The Clothes On Your Back, which serve as underpadding. For decoration, you use Rumia's Ribbon to dangle the Electric Razor from the middle as an heraldic emblem. You now have an Orky Cuirass!
>The Orky Cuirass does a good job confounding the bees, as they try to blindly sting at you and hit the metal with a number of satisfying little thumps. Rumia and the Frogs make use of their distraction, and soon the last of the swarm is devoured.
>With a sort of popping noise, the world seems to shift back into focus. Looking around, you can see you are in the courtyard of Eientei, looking just as you left it only several minutes ago. It is as though the swarm never came. Cirno is here, looking very confused. "Where'd you guys com-THERE YOU ARE YOU FROG BASTARDS!" And then she goes to work freezing them again.
>The frogs are now bouncing around in circles, making them easy prey for Cirno. Rumia, as well, has taken to spinning in a circle, arms outstretched, whilst giggling to herself. Mystia sinks to her knees, and seems ready to weep with relief. Kaguya gently kneels down, and seems to be resting.
>You notice two things of interest where the majority of the swarm wind down. One seems to be a dragonfly made of silver. Another seems to be a strangely-shaped...thing, made of yellowish powder.
