"And...Oh, I probably need to tell Yukari. Or - No, I'll tell Ran. She can tell Yukari." I'm sure there were more people I needed to tell. Satori Komeiji? Her sister, Koishi? If Lady Hecatia was hard to track down, I had no idea how I was supposed to track Koishi Komeiji down, considering I couldn't even remember what she looked like.

At least I knew where Satori was likely to be. "Have you also considered that you probably don't even need to actually send invites to a lot of these people?" Reimu said bluntly. "I mean, half of them won't be able to resist showing up to a major event like this." I had figured that would probably be the case, but still...It was worth inviting those who might take offense at not receiving an invitation themselves, or those who might not know. "Right. And...What's your plan for the ceremony?" Miss Yuuka had offered to lead it, but had promised to do her best to keep her ire in check if Reimu wanted to do it instead. "Hmm...I mean, I don't mind not doing it, necessarily. I usually have to lead all the ones from the village, anyway. Might make a nice change to see what someone like Yuuka says." I'd...Expected a bit more pushback from Reimu, to be honest. "Yeah, me too. I thought I'd be a lot more protective about the whole thing." Reimu scratched her cheek. "Honestly, I think I can probably persuade Yuuka to let me do a few rites during the ceremony and let her handle the talking part. That way, you get the best of both worlds. The talking part is a bit intense, too. At least, when I do it. I've done big speeches before, but there's something different about a wedding speech. Oh, you'll probably want to do vows, though."

"Vows? Oh - Vows..." Yamame asked, paused, then repeated in a curious sort of tone. "Yeah, we're doing vows, aren't we?" I'd not thought about it, but yes, I imagined so. That was like...The commitments, right? What you'd do for the other person and that sort of thing. "Mhm." Yamame hummed. "We already say that sort of thing to each other, so it shouldn't be too hard to come up with something, should it?" Somehow, I thought it would be, because these were the vows that would hold the most meaning. They couldn't be wrong. "Reimu, that's like - Reimu? What are you staring at?" Reimu was still staring at Marisa, who was now looking at the Geidontei stand.

"There's something..." Reimu muttered under her breath, her eyes narrowing. "Need her to just...Turn more in this direction..." She said quietly. Then, she blinked, shook her head, and looked back at Yamame and I. "Sorry, er, what? Vows? Yeah, it's, er...That." Well, I'd figured that much out by myself, I replied sarcastically, which Reimu smacked me upside the head for. "Don't get smart with me, little brother." She told me, and I rolled my eyes before ducking to avoid her next attempted slap. "Anyway, you should probably go and tell Keine soon." She continued as if she hadn't just attempted a cruel and violent act against me. "Don't leave it as long as you did last time." I raised my hands and told her that I'd definitely learnt my lesson and I wouldn't let it happen again. She was getting distracted again, looking over in the direction of the crowds again.

"I'd like to see her again, too." Yamame piped up. I looked over at her and asked if that was so she could get more embarrassing stories from her. "Y- No, I just thought she was really nice." So close, I replied as I reached over to ruffle her hair. "Oh, for - Stop that..." She grumbled. "We need to talk to Kisami about rings, too. She said we should come by soon." We could do that, I replied.

"Got you." Reimu suddenly said, a victorious smirk on her face. I looked over at her to see her pushing off of the wall. "Should have known as soon as I saw Marisa." Blankly, I asked her what she was talking about. "Hang on, I'll only be a moment." She stepped slightly forward. "Hey! You!" She suddenly roared. "Freeze!" Then, pointing her gohei at Marisa, who looked like she'd been caught out at something, she stormed forward. "I want a fucking word with you!" She yelled as she charged forward. It was a little rude, I thought, but I supposed that it did make the severity of the situation clearer...Whatever the severity was. Marisa jumped slightly and had just got done raising her arms when Reimu grabbed her by the ear.

Reimu dragged Marisa over toward us, still looking pretty smug about it. "Um, why are you attacking Marisa, Reimu?" Yamame asked blankly. I couldn't imagine that my face was much different. Slowly, I told Reimu that even if she wanted to know about her and Tenshi, there were probably better ways to go about it. "Yeah, it's a little..." Yamame trailed off, an odd expression on her face. I looked between her, Reimu, and finally at Marisa, who looked very sheepish and caught out. "...Huh." Yamame finally stated.

"Ah-Ha!" Reimu said, pointing a finger at her. "You see it too, don't you!?"

So is Red Marisa our Marisa but stronger and wearing red or is she the one from chapter 2 of the story? This is important.
