> Be somewhat surprised at Kogasa's suggestion
> "That's an idea!"
> "Perhaps the rest of us could travel from another route and then we all meet up somewhere? Perhaps Paradise?"
> "Don't forget we've yet to investigate Mayina's portal and explore where it connects to"
> Come to think of it we still have to report back to Yumeko and assure her the Grimoire is safe
> Kogasa is beaming at your surprise.
> "Makai dosen't have too many other landmarks to meet up at. There's the odd village, maybe a place where a powerful daemon has warped the world to their whims. And the Ruins; but most tend to avoid that forsaken place." Mayina remarks.
> "It leads near my village. Not directly to it, but also not far."
> You recall that should you go to Makai once again, you should inform Yumeko of the status of the Grimore, and perhaps her younger sister.
//I actually forgot Kogasa was there :V
>"Hmm... I mean, it's an idea, but we have no idea if you'd be able to get back. The main entrance is sealed from this side, remember? There really wouldn't be a way for us to reach you if you go with Koakuma..."
// Kogasa pops up when least expected!
> "Patchouli can summon her familiar back. If the umbrella is able to enter Makai as an item of the familiar, then she can return in the same manner." Remilia remarks.
> Specify :" Kogasa,there are are both Upsides&Downsides to thao,and so ,as Lady Remilia wisely said,we should go asking&planning all together with Lady Patchouli but also Koakuma ".
// My suggestion&vote is the same as my command,extendable and adaptable all together to boot // .
// In the end , it is Alright to be Checking out the Near-Frozen (?) Mayina's Portal BUT it is a Makai Heretic Portal,or at least Vulnerable and Unreliable to Rumia&co&"Gensokyans" : going through it without ,so to speak," Backfires" is only Feasible when and if there are Fairly Strong Guards and/or Tuned-in Protections and/or Safe Passage on 1 Side and at least partly so on the Other//....
// I agree we have to report&listen as soon as we have Communication, Capable Contacts (A "" Prepared Pair of Koakuma&Kogasa "" ?? ) or entrance to Makai, quite a bit to Yumeko,and particularly to Shinki by Yumeko or not; remindable is also Remilia's Gugnir stolen in Makai by Elis/Heretics,as well the situation about Remilia,Flandre,Elis,the Overall consequences&contermeasures&effects,etc.//
> You consider various methods to enter Makai and search for information; as well as reporting your own findings. You would indeed have to enquire with Patchouli about her own capabilities. You also recall you were able to pass through the barrier in the Cave with the assistance of Okina, but you're unsure how reliable her assistance is. You're unsure if Mayina's portal is even still open, but it is worth checking.
> Sumireiko suddenly enters the room, in somewhat of a panic.
> Flandre is behind her, looking curiously at the human projection, with her mouth open.
> "Huh, why can't I bite you?" she asks.
