Sakuya's special skills are Head Maid, which gives her a chance to counter enemy attacks, and Luna Dial, which increases the chance of her defensive ability Perfect Square triggering by 10%.

Marisa's team is running into an unexpected problem! That being, they can't find any enemies.

Suddenly, tragedy strikes! Kurumi lost the packed lunch that Sakuya had made for her! How mysterious.

More importantly, we're approaching kappa territory. Meiling can smell the oil in the water. If our old friend Nitori were to show up now, we'd have no choice but to fight...

Kappa C
Non-canonical Underling of the Mountain
Species: Kappa
Rank: II
Defense: A
Villainy: C
Importance: D

Kappa C is showing off her latest invention, but Nitori seems distracted!

Momiji is in the area, looking for signs of the group that failed to report in. Its considered highly likely that the mountain is under attack.

Nitori doesnt say anything, but she thinks she knows who it is...

Chapter 20 (Marisa Route): The Far Coast of Friendship

Invaders, huh... do you think it's true?

Hmm... should we go out and check?

...No, let's stay here.

Yeah, there's no way they'd come back after getting kicked out just yesterday.

Yeah, yeah. Besides, even if they did show up, they wouldn't stand a chance against us.

I know, right? If they come this way, we'll just wash 'em away.

Wait, there's someone coming from downstream!

No way...!

Youkai, dead ahead!

All right, let's beat 'em up nice and...

Wait, that's...

So the invader was Marisa after all...

...Nitori!

Hey, it's that magician Nitori's always talking about...

...

I had a feeling I might run into you.

Come on over, Nitori. I have a lot of things to...

I can't, Marisa! If you raise a hand against Youkai Mountain then I'll throw you back out!

...!

Ooh, shot down.

Wasn't that girl Meiling's friend?

I was ready for this, but it's a shame that we have to fight.

If we want to keep going, we'll have to fight back. Might as well do it now.

...No helping it, I guess, but I still don't get it.

I gotta take care of my own problems. Sorry, but give me a chance to talk to Nitori!

Victory Conditions
Nitory defeated.

Defeat Conditions
All allies defeated.

Bonus Condition
Two kappa other than Nitori defeated.

Surprisingly spacious map! Seven fairies, two crows, three kappa, and Nitori.

CHARGE

I am more or less past the point in the game where generic fairies are anything resembling a threat!

The genero-kappa are unimpressive, although their defense is pretty high. Gotta take down two, but I'll probably do all of them!

Nitori joins the battle! Her defense is even higher, since she's underwater, and her cucumber missiles pack quite the punch.

To think that I'd really meet humans here...

Hey, there's something fish about this one.

No there isn't! Please, I'm against violence.

Kappa C is... marginally stronger than the other kappa. But not much.

By the way, why are you the only one wearing red?

It's my personal unit. By increasing propulsion by only 30%, I can move 3 times as fast.

30% turns into 3 times? What kind of math is that?

It's the results of constant calibration. I can get extra push by kicking off of driftwood and...

Whatever, I don't really want to talk to you all that much.

And so the last non-boss falls.Now all that remains is to fight Nitori...

...or not! If I bring Marisa into melee range, there's a Persuade option.

Nitori!

Marisa! I'm not here to talk, go away!

Even if you arent, I am. Why are you working with the Moriya Shrine?
We're here to save the Hakurei Shrine, so help us out!

This doesn't have anything to do with you.
I'm just going along with Lady Kochiya's plan for the mountain's future!

It doesn't sound like she's willing to listen.

And what's with this "Lady" Kochiya business? Do you have some reason to be doing her dirty work?

A lot has changed since this summer. Youkai Mountain is cooperating with the god of the Moriya Shrine now.

Cooperate? Do you even know what that means?

You're lending your support to the taking over of the Hakurei Shrine!

Calm down, Marisa. Let me try.

I'll see if she's really serious about working with them.

A second Persuade, this time from Alice!

Long time no see, Nitori.

I'm not surprised to see you with Marisa, Alice.

I didn't know you had built up such a strong relationship with the Moriya Shrine.
What's motivating you to cooperate with them?

If Lady Yasaka and Lady Kochiya amass more faith, the power of Youkai Mountain will increase. We both prosper.
Why do you care, Alice?

I'm just not really convinced. You were on bad terms this summer, so I wasn't sure what made you reconcile.
In other words, it's just a mutually beneficial relationship?

What do you mean?

It has nothing to do with trust. Has the Moriya Shrine told you their plans?

Their plans...
That... I don't know. I havent talked to that god much...
They don't let underlings onto the grounds.

They won't let you into the grounds...?

How strange, putting your faith in an unknown party.

Nitori, do you really want to be allies with those guys?
You'll make us your enemies for the sake of some vague god?

That's... I...

[ BGM - From the Bottom of the Valley and the River ~ Ryuunosuke Akutagawa's Kappa ]

It's not like I don't want to help everyone! I just can't...
All I can do is turn you away before it's too late!

Nitori!

Water Sign "Kappa's Pororoca"

While inside the zone, we fight as if underwater, even in the air. Combined with huge defense/evasion penalties, this puts us at quite a serious disadvantage!

If Kurumi hasn't been defending, she'd be a goner!

No more persuade options... I just have to gut it out in the deep sea.

Kurumi is soundly defeated on the second turn of the card. This is gonna be tough!

Time to kick things up a notch. SAKUYA'S WORLD

But it's still not enough. I'm running out of resources!

Elly's down, too, but Nitori is at her limit! MARISA, FINISH THIS!

I'll show you my trump card!

Ooooooryaaaaaah!

Magic Sign "Stardust Reverie"!

Good job, everyone...

Whoops, we accidentally went all out...

Is this okay with you, Marisa?

No choice. She just wouldn't listen, no matter what.
Nitori, you're really sure you won't come with us?

That's enough, Marisa. Anything more than this would be cruel.
She didn't become our enemy of her own choice... isnt that enough?

I guess so...

Nitori, we have to keep moving forward. Sorry, but we're going on ahead.

...I understand. It's gonna get dangerous from here on, so be careful...

...Nitori! I'm definitely gonna come back for you after we punish the Moriya Shrine!

If we don't hurry, we'll be late for our rendezvous!

...

The kappa girl left...

Circumstances aside, everyone really is going all out.

Some people can't be persuaded without a little violence.

Anyway, we don't have any reason to stay here. Our next destination should be...
...hmm?

What's wrong, Alice?

There's a kappa over there who didn't run away fast enough. Let's hunt her down and ask her some questions.

Stage Clear

Turns taken: 11
Spirit Commands used: 14
Bombs used: 1
Battle Mastery achieved
Kurumi shot down
Elly shot down

Kappa C has fallen into Renegade Marisa's clutches! Our goal is to get her to tell us the most conspicuous, memorable landmark in the area.

After some violence from Marisa, and some comments about her mistress expressing an interest in turtle blood from Sakuya, Kappa C relents. It's not far from here, a huge waterfall where many tengu are gathered.

Marisa thinks it's strange that so many tengu would follow the orders of a human shrine maiden, but apparently that human is also one of the gods of the mountain...

One we have all the information we need, we let Kappa C flee in terror. Destination locked in!

Afterwards, Alice talks with Marisa about their failure to get Nitori to join them. It seemed like she wanted to go with us, at least...

To be continued!
