Take thaaat! Snowball Attaaack!

Ow!

How dare you~, I'm paying you back double!

Snowballs go flying.

Now you've done it~!

...

This game looks fun. So anything goes?

...All right, next I'll surprise her by throwing a HUGE one. I'll need to use both hands for thi-

There!

Koishi nails the fairy with her own snowball.

?! Ow!

Not fair! You can't just suddenly throw one like that!

Wait, what?! I haven't even thrown mine yet!

Ahaha, it hit! Guess this works. I think I'll put a rock in the next on-

Fine, I'll just come get you up close!

The fairy bumps into Koishi.

Ah.

Ow ow ow, I tripped...

Hey, isn't that a kinda weird place to trip?

I dunno, maybe there's something under my feet?

Alice's door opens.

Heeeeey! Who's making all this ruckus out here?!

!

Not good, we're gonna get yelled at! Everyone, run away!

The fairies scram.

...Phew, looks like they're gone.

Sorry about the noise. It seems they turned the place into a playground while I was out...

But more importantly, you must be cold out here. I baked some sweets, so please, come in.

Oh, they smell great! Mmm, this is what I came for~!

Nitori and Alice go back in.

...

My clothes got wet... And I'm hungry too.

...Guess I'll head home to Satori.

Okuu, Okuuu!

...Yeesh, I never see her around lately. What could she be up to? She doesn't show up at the Palace of Earth Spirits either, so Satori's getting worrie-

Steam shoots out.

Whoa, that was close!

Is that boiling water...? What's something like that doing, spouting out of the ground? Don't tell me Okuu messed up adjusting the temperature of the Remains of Blazing Hell...

...

...! That idiot, what's she doing over there?

Hey, Okuu, what are you doi-

There!

Utsuho fires a huge laser.

?!

Ahahaha, burn! Burn more! This is my power!

So, should I head to that furnace over there next, or-

O-Okuu...?

Oh, Orin! Haven't seen you for a while! Have you come to hang out?

Wha- Of course not! What WAS that just now?!

There's a bit of a clanking sound as Utsuho walks over.

Oh, that? I was just trying out my new power.

...! What happened to your hand...?!

Awesome, isn't it? I'm putting the smolders of Blazing Hell back to how they used to be! And I'm not even using my full power.

Th-That's not what I asked you! What happened to you, Okuu?!

Huh? What do you mean by 'what'?

Don't play dumb with me! Where's your arm?! And not just that! Your leg and your chest too...!

Ooooh, that. I gave them away.

You... WHAT?!

I offered 'em to a god so they could live inside me. In exchange, I got the ultimate power.

You offered up parts of your body? Why...?

I don't really remember all that well, but someone said they would give me power.

...Oh yeah, Orin. I was thinking about conquering the surface. Don't you think that'd be wonderful? Just a bit more practice, and it should be a piece of cake.

...Something's definitely wrong with you. Why are you talking about something as stupid as conquering the surface?

I could do it though. Look!

Another laser.

...! You just melted Reactor 6...!

Hah! The way I am now, I can spew out unlimited flames way hotter than Blazing Hell!

With this power, I'll become a subterranean su- No, I'll be the surface's sun!

The sun...?

Just watch me, Orin. Before you know it, we'll all be able to live on the surface.

...I'm not the same Okuu I used to be, the one who couldn't do anything.

Utsuho leaves.

...What happened to you, Okuu?

Conquering the surface, getting power from someone, I don't know what to make of any of this... Wait, I don't have time to worry about that! I've gotta stop her!

The way she's talking, she might really head to the surface. But I can't stop her by myself. And if I tell someone, they'd definitely punish her.

...What can I do? How can I stop her?

...I know!
