> Watch from the doorway for a bit, then.
>You watch.
>The woman over the throne is clearly the Warlord you've heard so much about. She wears a full suit of laced armor, lacquered a bright red. It's hard to make out more details than that. She carries a small rack with several swords resting on it; she carries a bared sword in her right hand. She isn't precisely wielding it, not like Youmu does, but rather is brandishing it. You think this may be what she uses for spell cards. As for her card, it is certainly busy, featuring huge waves of tightly-bound shots criss-crossed with diagonal beams here and there. It reminds you of some old ink paintings of military regiments with outrageously large banners.
>The other is Kaori, and she is doing well to slip between the Warlord's danmaku and pelt the woman with her own. She is sending out a lot of talismans, likely so she can at least harry her opponent while focusing on dodging, Reimu liked that tactic a lot and it is annoying to deal with, to say the least.
>As you watch, The Warlord's spellcard breaks; she responds by sheathing her sword and sending out a number of wide danmaku spirals from her hand. Kaori takes a more aggressive stand in response. For the moment, the room is somewhat less filled with flak.
