#0@0The Astral Market.
|
|
|
#0@1A chunk of the skies above Mysteryland,
a place for all to enjoy.
|
|
|
#0@2The moon's mysterious rainbow will soon disappear.
|
|
|
|
|
Chimata
|
#0@3"Whew. That was fun."
|
|
Reimu
|
#0@4"So, what now? Will you stop making the cards?"
|
|
|
|
|
Chimata
|
#0@5"For a while, I guess."
|
|
|
#0@6"Maybe I'll start again in a few months,
to be honest."
|
|
Reimu
|
#0@7"Ugh...
|
|
|
#0@8Will I really have to repeat this entire thing
all over again?"
|
|
|
|
|
Chimata
|
#0@9"Idunno, I'd guess the fad wouldn't be so
huge by then.
|
|
|
#0@10Shouldn't be more than your usual workload?"
|
|
Reimu
|
#0@11"That's true."
|
|
|
|
|
Chimata
|
#0@12"Well, I mean, you already have enough work to do.
|
|
|
#0@13Maybe you should take a break sometime.
|
|
|
#0@14Just look at me, I refused to take a break and now
I'm way too tired for anything."
|
|
|
|
|
Reimu
|
#0@15"We did fight just now, but still...
|
|
|
#0@16Anyways, the trading cards.
|
|
|
#0@17What really are they?"
|
|
|
|
|
Chimata
|
#0@18"Other than the obvious, I also applied some
powers to them through magic.
|
|
|
#0@19Nothing that should be particularly dangerous,
at most practical things.
|
|
|
#0@20...Maybe giving kids the power of a burner in a card
wasn't the best idea?"
|
|
|
|
|
Reimu
|
#0@21"Didn't seem all that dangerous, actually."
|
|
Chimata
|
#0@22"Whew. Good to hear.
|
|
|
#0@23Fire hazards caused by my own creations would be...
rather problematic."
|
|
|
|
|
Chimata
|
#0@24"Since I realized that a lot of people in Mysteryland
are generally considered important,
|
|
|
#0@25I made some cards based off of the bigger-smaller folks
of the town."
|
|
|
|
|
Chimata
|
#0@26"Man, have you seen the responses
people have when finding their own card?
|
|
|
#0@27From childlike glee to surprise
to the *absolute horror* I witnessed
|
|
|
#0@28on that lil' shapeshifter's face,
I've seen it all."
|
|
|
|
|
Reimu
|
#0@29"Hmm... I see.
Maybe they really are just toys.
|
|
|
#0@30Very peculiar and slightly extreme toys."
|
|
Chimata
|
#0@31"Hehehe."
|
|
|
|
|
|
#0@32Charlie's words were genuine and honest,
unlike many of the villains Rachel had fought before.
|
|
|
#0@33Indeed, she meant no harm with the cards,
|
|
|
#0@34which were meant for little more than entertaining
people during a noticeably boring period.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#0@35Accidentally sparking an entire mystery out of
her own card game
|
|
|
#0@36may or may not have been all that accidental...
|
|
|
#0@37Of course, selling the cards leads to
getting more money,
|
|
|
|
|
|
#0@38but that generally isn't a pressing matter
in Mysteryland's surprising balance.
|
|
|
#0@39...Still, Rachel wondered.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#0@40There was a card on her foe's belt.
|
|
|
#0@41One she had not seen before.
|
|
|
#0@42What could possibly happen if she brought
Charlie's own card against her?
|
|
|
#0@43Perhaps we shall find out...

#0@45<c$Well done!$>
