Cirno's special skills are
Freeze, which causes her next hit to reduce the target's evasion by 25% for one turn, and
Dual Fairies, which increases her trust level for and from Daiyousei by one level. I like to have them hang out anyway, so I'm gonna switch to the latter.
From here on out, the game gets intense...

...but not for these two! While our heroes are off, Akyu and Rinnosuke are drinking Reimu's tea.
Rinnosuke does his usual thing where he starts thinking about all the intricacies of Akyu's situation until Akyu starts to think that there's something on her face.

Marisa left Shiro behind, because the mountain is no place for non-sapient balls of fuzz. It seems to be worried about its master.
Fortunately, if anything comes up, she'd contact by radio.
...right?

On the mountain, Momiji is reporting to Aya! She has news that the invaders have reached the mountain. Marisa has been seen among them, but not Reimu.

Aya and Momiji have special orders, straight from the top. They're to go to the waterfall and intercept the invaders directly. Apparently the Great Tengu is worried.

Momiji heads out at once to the designated point, but Aya seems to have other plans...

While some tengu talk about Aya, our group is sneaking past! All thanks to the Three Fairies' abilities. Cirno wants some praise, too, but she isn't actually doing anything.

It's going to her head! The fairies have to admit, though, they don't REALLY know why we're going to the shrine.
Not that they need to! We're at the waterfall now.

Chapter 21: Visible Path


This must be the place.

It's huge... the top is farther off than I thought.

Yeah, this is no quick trip.

Enough small talk, let's get going.


Yaaawn... I'm really sleep today.

Yeah... Just wanna go back home and work on my article.

They can't tell we're here even though we're so close!

Hoo hoo hoo, praise me more!

Really, its because of my work that they havent noticed us yet...


Good afternoon, my fellow tengu.

Look at those unfocused faces. Are you properly keeping a lookout?

Oh, what's your problem?

Isn't playing guard dog what you guys do? Can we go home now?

No, everybody must do their part today. Orders straight from Lord Tenma.

That huge sword - it's the same tengu we fought last summer.

Looks pretty skiled. Let's keep on our guard.

All right, taking a look at the situation, so far you're...
...Hrm?

What's that face supposed to mean?

Hey, Inubashiri.

I smell humans. Could it be the invaders...?

Shoot, she can SMELL us!

Why don't any of you guys have the ability to mask smells?!

If you had a power like that, everyone would just call you Deodorant!

No time for talk! We have to hurry!

I see it. There you are!

Tch!


Ah, they saw through us!

What the heck?! They just appeared out of nowhere!

So you were trying to sneak past us after all, Hakurei.
I don't know what kind of trick you used, but did you think you could escape from my eyes?

I thought we could escape from your eyes.

This is bad, we're right in the middle of the enemy!

I know. We'll just have to do this the hard way!
Victory ConditionsMomiji defeated.
Defeat ConditionsAll allies defeated.
Bonus Condition???
Big map! Nine crows, four tengu, two kappa, and Momiji at the top. She even has a spellcard!
Those Kappa will be trouble, what with their lurking underwater. Fortunately, I have a secret weapon...

SCUBA RUMIA.
I have an item that gives its wielder A rank water compatibility. I gave it to Rumia. I'll send Cirno and Daiyousei along with her, as she's still not that powerful.

For the rest of us, it's a psychotic charge upwards towards Momiji!

While they individually have piddling attack power, the Three Fairies are still making a pretty decent team. 100% evasion against crows!

defense types are useful against bosses, but at a bit of a disadvantage against swarms of mooks. Even though they're just simple birds, the crows' attacks are slowly wearing Keine down.

Meanwhile to the south, the two kappa put up a fierce resistance! Their defense is incredible, and those missiles really hurt...


Can we really win against this many tengu?

Mmm, maybe not?

What're you saying, I didn't give you permission to give up!

Reimu, what about contacting the other team? Marisa might be close by!

Right, with this thing from Kourin. Umm...
...Marisa, can you hear me?

...

Come on, Marisa! Can you hear me or not?

...

No good. All I hear is some weird noise.

This is what we get for relying on some weird mystery tool.

Keep trying! Maybe she just hasn't noticed!


Ayayaya, nice job so far.

There are enemies behind us, too!

We're surrounded...

You're late!

Sorry, sorry. Looks like you were able to find the shrine maiden without me, though.

Haven't I seen her before? Something about a newspaper...

The Bunbunmaru News. The name of the newspaper that'll have this incident on its front page tomorrow.

Front page? No pictures or real names, I hope.

That much depends on you. If you entertain me, I might write you up in a more positive light.

She's looking down on us...

All right, I'd better do my duty and properly defeat a few humans.

That's right. This is the end for you, Hakurei shrine maiden!


This is bad. Is there anything we can do?

The situation's turned completely against us. If it comes down to it, escape on your own, Keine.

Do you really think I could do that?
Reimu, are you sure you can't reach Marisa?

I'm trying, but it still just makes that weird noise...

Maybe Marisa's group already went home?

What...?

Well, maybe they got bored halfway up...

Even for Marisa, that's...

...If it's her, I guess that isn't impossible.

What?! What are we supposed to do, then?

To be honest, I'm not really sure why she came in the first place...

Heh, looks like the shrine maiden's losing her nerve. At this rate, you might as well go back to your article.

"Intrepid reporter defeats invaders!" I'm sure it'll be a hit.
I might even make first place...

...!
Look out, from below!

Huh?!


We made it to the waterfall!

I didn't want to do it all in one go, but...

Isn't that...

...Marisa?!

Reimu? What're you doing here?

I'm sure it's a long story, but it can wait!

Marisa Kirisame?! What happened to the group I sent...

We defeated them back at the river.

You're taking us lightly if you thought that many would be enough.

Well, this is a fine change of pace. You're sharper than you look.

Not that we meant to join back up, but it looks like you're in a bit of a bind.

Do you think you could mount us a quick rescue mission?

It's not according to plan, but it does seem like the thing to do.

Everyone's so lively! I'm a bit tired, myself...

It's a maid's test of strength. Will you be able ot keep up, Elly?

All right, let's begin our counterattack!


Stopping for now? Thanks for playing.
Using the power of the Three Fairies, Reimu and her friends tried to sneak past the waterfall, but they were found out.
It's a grudge match, and this time they're determined to push through.
But will they really be able to take on this many tengu...?
Next time, on Super Touhou Wars 2, Chapter 21: Visible Path. Be sure to play through to the end!
