>Given the positioning, the best would seem "Princess Tenko" as you would manage with that throwing lots of bullets from where you are plus you would be able to teleport outside of the fairy circle with Chen. But that would use 25% of your power and you have 65% allready.
> there's also "Banquet of the 12 general Gods" which would help you attack the fairies with spirits from behind, yet you would stay inside the circle still. That would cost 20%.
>"Fox-Tanuki Youkai Lazer" seems a good idea as well as it would trap the fairies in lazer barrages and they surely can't be as skilled as Reimu and Marisa. 20% too.

>Depends on what radius your spray might be. A regular cone-like danmaku would be 3%. a 180 degree cone would be 6% and a full 360 degrees circle danmaku sprawy is 10%. You also have Chen, mind you.

Alright, I was just going with PMISS, which notes that faith drives off youkai nicely. Part of why Shrine Maidens are so effective. I can think of several reasons why it wouldn't have worked here, but just hedging my bets.

That is correct, but this man's faith doesn't affect you at all. Either because this isa dream world, or the concept of youkai and your particular kind is totally unknown to him.
