>"That vampire from earlier knocked you all out with an illusion and wanted me to 'play' with her... She didn't take anything or hurt anyone from our group, but... D-Does anyone know a healer? Miss Sakuya is really hurt... I doubt she should even be conscious right now..."
>"H-Hang in there, okay, Miss Sakuya?"
> "It was that Elis one again, wasn't it?" Mystia says; getting herself off the ground.
> Alice looks very serious as she stands up. "Her name was Elis? And you're sure she was a vampire?"
> Alice looks at Sakuya. "I know someone who could tend to her for sure. I frequently visit her abdode to purchase sleeping pills."
> The puppeteer makes some motions with her hands, before some dolls come out with a roll of fabric. A couple more; holding small axes; hack some larger branches off a tree and strip the smaller ones attached to it, before they quickly assemble a stretcher. Sakuya seems to try and protect as more dolls lift her onto it, but she hardly seems conscious by this point.
> Make a large demarcation barrier around everyone in case Elis tries to strike back
> Try and wake up Alice, shake her if needed
> When she wakes up "Do you know any healing magic? Sakuya here got hurt really bad trying to help us"
// Sidequest add: Plot revenge against Elis
> Murmur "Don't expect the leniency Mayina saw when I tell Yumeko who's after the grimoire"
> Alice is awake. As you are setting up barriers, she speaks. "If what you have told me is correct, you won't need to worry about that. The combination of daylight and the spell breaking probobly means Elis fled back to Makai. We'll be safe from her, at least until nightfall."
> "Healing magic is not something I can skilled in. Besides, as much as Miss Izayoi may claim to be human, I don't quite know how to treat someone of her kind." Alice says.
> Mayina hears you mutter [You figure his large; pointed ears are not just for show]. "That's more like how you should treat your enemies." he says, just loud enough for you to hear.
> Sakuya groans on the makeshift stretcher. "The Youkai is right. The enemy is a Vampire called Elis."
> Alice frowns. "I heard about a Vampire with a Star-Shaped birthmark on the Council. I never met her, but she was best described as... difficult and rowdy. She hardly showed any interest in running Makai, or what few rules the Daemons set themselves, and mostly just kept pushing for wars. Vampires as a species are Greater Deamons who specifically adapted to be almost unstoppable war machines, able to even create their own armies of Thralls and vampire-like beings from other races. They would boast one Vampire could conquer a planet. In fact it wasn't unusual for them to open rifts to other worlds and cause havoc for fun, spreading their infections and killing." the girl explains. "It wouldn't surprise me if that's what happened to create the Scarlets."
> "That would explain Miss Remilia's reaction to Elis." Mystia says.
> "Most of them were killed or imprisoned in Hokkai after they tried to take over Paradise before I was born however. Invasions like those they used to do were banned, and they revolted. If Elis is that Vampire Councillor... she might be the one behind it all. It even fits with what the Vampires did in the past." Alice continues.
> Mayina grunts. "Even as far as daemons go, Vampires are considered vile."
> "There are always exceptions, of course." Alice states. "But unless there's two Vampires in Makai with star-shaped marks... it would seem Elis is not one of them."
