"It's like that you see? I would never be able to hit you even I threw every stone in this garden Flan-Chan, but that's if I tossed them carelessly. with a few tricks and some unfair play, I almost got you again!" He said with a carefree smile.

"OH! Just like the game with the cups! Or with that dungeon we explored with Chen!" Flan excitedly realized aloud, looking to Goro and then Sakuya.

"Fuu, I suppose that's all fine in good with games and stone tossing, but it's only natural that a fight against high-level, SOPHISTICATED, Youkai include some amount of deception. What makes what you did any different?" I asked.

"Did you see when I picked up the second stone?" He asked.

Oh, I know this trick! "You already had it before you even arrived didn't you?" I said confidently.

"A good guess, but no, Seija passed it to me while your attention was fixed on Flan-Chan. Forgive me, I know you love your little sister to dearly and took advantage of that." He said, lowering her head.

"Sister..." Flan looked at me, a little flush.

"Bah, what's your point? Shall we capture all the enemies loved ones and hold them ransom maybe?" I asked, a little annoyed.

"Oh no, although that's quite a bold idea! I merely wanted to highlight that, although you two are quite powerful indeed, your perspectives can be played upon. While I told you I was weak and let you see me pick up a single stone, I also came here knowing a fair bit about you all, and capitailized on that gap in information. I am, of course, very weak, and can't do much without strong allies such as yourself, but our opponents know very little about me and Seija has fought in illicit fights more then anyone in Gensokyo, we can draw out our alliance's full potential and overwhelm the difference of power in a fight that has never been seen before or will ever be seen again." He explained.

What a romantic pitch. I didn't understand all of it and maybe he was laying on the flattery a little I think, but I liked his moxy.

"Why would we need you when we have Yukari? Who has the power of the Gap and over a millennia of strategic experience?" Sakuya asked.

"Hey Brat, does that maid always lie in wait to verbally sucker punch people in conversations?" Seija asked Flan.

"What's a sucker punch?" Flan replied with a tilt of her head.

"I'll show you later. Queen Batty, you know how Yukari's power works right?" She asked me.

"Yukari is capable of manipulating boundaries, such as the boundary between light and dark, husband and wife, and the distance between two locations, with that, she can make spaces deprived of light, sever a marriage, and instantly travel between two locations, as well as much else. A truly powerful and flexible ability. And does raise the question, what do you two do that Yukari cannot? Why does she have you in her service?" I asked, taking a sip of wine after I do.

"Hey Brat, how does that Old Yellow Pervert's power work?" Seija asked Flan, ignoring my question.

"I'm not sure." Flan said, putting a finger to her lip. "I think she can put doors on the back of things and it connects to a space she controls? She can do other stuff to I think, but I don't know too much about it."

"Well at least we know who the honest one is here." Seija said, putting her hands behind her head and leaning back.

This little...
