It was a little while, but Daiyousei eventually returned with everything Marisa needed.
Marisa concocted the mixture and looked to Ice Fairy. "Alright. You ready to drink this?"
Ice Fairy/Cirno nodded. 'Just... I just want to make sure Daiyousei knows... If this fails. I-'
Marisa smiled. "It's fine. I'm sure she'll understand." She looked to Daiyousei, "Right?"
Daiyousei nodded. "Right."
Marisa finished creating the mixture and handed it to Ice Fairy. "Drink this slowly. You don't want to spill any of it."
Ice Fairy nodded and slowly began to drink the mixture, feeling her body start to tingle and vibrate; she eventually started to be seen in a very faint outline.
Daiyousei almost screamed. "CIRNO!" She was over the top happy but before she could run towards Cirno and give her a hug, Marisa stood up and blocked her path. "... Eh?"
Marisa looked to her. "Don't. The mixture will only make you go into Reset if you don't let her finish it."
Cirno eventually finished the mixture and the cup came back into physical form. It was almost... Unreal.
Marisa watched as her efforts bore fruit and Cirno came back to the world of the living.
Cirno winked at Daiyousei. "I am the strongest!"
Marisa chuckled as Daiyousei smiled absentmindedly. "I know." Daiyousei walked up and hugged Cirno, to which the ice fairy hugged her green fairy friend back.
This... Was going to be the start of a new Winter.
'I just hope Cirno doesn't make it snow too much...' Marisa thought with a sweatdrop.
Cirno looked to Marisa as Daiyousei and Cirno separated. "How... How can I ever thank you?"
Marisa chuckled. "Just don't make it too cold this winter, and we'll call it even." Marisa looked to the table, picked up her grimore and closed it. Heading out the door.
Daiyousei looked to Cirno. "Ummm... Cirno?"
Cirno looked to her. "Yeah?"
Daiyousei leaned closer, making Cirno blush slightly and then Daiyousei's lips brushed Cirno's cheek. "I'm glad you're okay."
Cirno, upon Daiyousei going back to her normal stance, nodded. "As am I. No more weird food!"
Daiyousei giggled.
And like that, our story comes to an end. Who knows what will happen with Daiyousei and Cirno, or Marisa for that matter. But, for now, everyone knows - Cirno is back.
"... I'm the strongest!"
"Oh Cirno..."
[The End]
