(in which a nine-person party almost fail.)

"Hey, where're we going!?" Marisa asked, flying through the corridor.

"Voile. From there we should find Remilia soon enough." Reimu said.

"This reminds me of the old days!" Brad mused.

"Why are these corridors so long? It certainly doesn't seem that long from the outside." Painter asked.

"It is a consequence of my abilities." Sakuya answered calmly.

Some wierd-looking fairies encountered the party. "You shall not pass."

Brad stepped back. "Y'know, you should try to grind a bit! All you actually fight against are the big guns!"

Painter rushed towards the fairies, both brushes in hand.

Through some awkward smacking motions, he quickly blinded the fairies.

BANG. Suddenly, a bullet flew by, killing them all instantly.

Brad pockets his NERF gun. "There."

Painter's LV rises to 14!

Soon enough, they encounter a double door. "This is it."

Marisa quickly surged inside, but is halted by a pink potion breaking in front of her. "Eh!?"

"Hehehehehe~ You lot only noticed now, of all times? My, how late you are." A charming feminine voice rang out.

"!?" Brad looked at his back.

Little Devil LV20

"Too bad. That vampire will be swayed by our savior's words real soon." Koakuma laughed. "But first, you lot. Charm"

Caught off guard, the entire party failed to divert their gazes.

One by one, they fall to the ground, aroused.

"Hehehe, that was easy. I should send them to the Sersph soon." Koakuma playfully giggled to herself, but noticed an abnormality. "...What?"

One person stood tall. The man with several syringes, a lab coat, and glasses stared at Koakuma, unmoving. "..."

"Ghh..! Sleep!" Koakuma shouted annoyingly.

*Ancient Medic is unaffected!

The entire party fell asleep, still aroused.

"..." The Medic raised a card from his pockets.

Medical Theory "Threshold of Medicine"

Pellet danmaku circles the Medic, which then scattered all around the room in spiraling patterns. At that moment...

"Oh shiiieeuutt!" Brad stood up with a jolt, rushing towards Koakuma with three plant hangers flying after him.

BOOM! The bomb hanger blows Koakuma into several bookshelves.

"N-not you toooo~!" She cried out, clearly shocked at the series of events.

The entire party wakes up, the spell put earlier quickly broken. "Gaaa~h..."

"..." The Medic looked at the rising party.

"W-where..?" Reimu looked around. "O-oh. Oh." She scanned the surroundings for a possible Koakuma.

"Hmm." Sakuya frowned.

T-Man T-poses.

Suika yawned. "Five more minutes..."

Irma Grese looked at Brad. "Son."

Koakuma rises up from the rubble. "D-damn... you..!"

The party quickly got out their greatest spell cards and weapons.

"Master Spark!" "Fantasy Seal!" "Killing Doll!" "Fallen Comrade!" "Chaos Oath!" "T-Barrage!"

"honh honh honh" A nearby fluffle in a fluffle stand honhed. It wasn't there before, too.

"I need wares, and quick." Painter slammed the counter.

The fluffle nodded, laying several models across. "random status painter! when painted, inflict a random amount of random status to the target! twenty thousand yen."

"flamebrush! blows flame through the air. ten thousand yen."

"brush of greens! gives regen statuses to your friend! ten thousand yen."

"dirtbrush! turns painted things to dirt. ten thousand yen."

Brad went up to the fluffle. "Give him all of it, yo." He put fifty thousand yen onto the counter.

The fluffle stared at him, fins raised. Then, it swipes everything out of the counter.

Ding! Instead of being a meter long, these brushes are around half a ruler, except the RSP which is double that size.

Painter swiped all of the things into his backpack. "Why do you think we need all these junk?"

Brad pointed to a random aisle of shelves-

Fwoom~! Suddenly, a massive torrent of random magical energy surges out.

Ekaj Llessur smashed into a bookshelf in the back. "Y-you..!"

They all looked at him blankly. "I don't think Chaos Oath will even feed on him." Irma said in the same expression.

Suddenly, Ekaj's eyes snapped forward, as he summoms a wall of spikes over spikes.

Fwoom~! The same blast of raw energy blasted into the wall, obliterating it and sending Ekaj flying.

"W-woah..." Brad stepped back a few feet.

In front of the group, a humanlike figure came out. A purple haired girl in pajamas, with a golden glove on her right hand. On it are 6 stones of various colors lining to form a pentagram woth one stone in the her left hand is a magic symbol of some sort, resembling Seraph Nine's form.

"For my Savior." She said calmly.
