Upon clicking continue, I am send back to 4 months ago, after having been in Gensokyo for 2 months. I elect to beg Reimu and Marisa to teach me the ways of magic. For the first two weeks, Reimu is a brutal instructor. She slaps me with her Miko stick every time I fail in the slightest bit. After a month, I can create the most basic danmaku. An average fairy would probably defeat me. This is where Marisa starts teaching me.

She is much more warm to me than Reimu, after all, she was born weak just like me. I learn faster from her.After another month, I am on par with the strongest of fairies. Maybe even some of the average humans and weaker youkai. Surprising how fast you can learn when you are determined. Determined to survive. This time I know Yukari will kill me if she finds me unworthy.

Two months to go. My training has slowed. I fear I may be near my potential limit. I am nowhere near as strong as Reimu or Marisa. No comparison. Instead of trying to get stronger, I practice my danmaku patterns, changing them from blatant and random bullet spam to beautiful patterns that even Yuyuko would be jealous of. Marisa is helping me every step of the way.

"No no, not like that..."
Marisa grabs my arm, her other arm sliding around my lower back.
"Like thi-..."
She blushes, as do I
"...Like this, Marisa?"
I send out a intricate danmaku pattern.
"Yeah... Like that..."

I think I'm falling for Marisa. Maybe she is falling for me too. I hope so. Shes so kind to me.

My time is up. The six months had passed.
Yukari arrives at the Hakurei Shrine. She proposes a danmaku battle with me, as she had been watching me train from time to time.
