[h2]Konpaku Youmu[/h2]

'Sounds like a ward or a barrier'? It didn't to Youmu. It sounded like the men were starting a fight for no reason. To be fair, that wasn't exactly uncommon in Gensokyo... but Ryu's concerns about their deaths were unfounded. Her hand firmly gripped her Roukanken's blade, and she shut her eyes. They weren't in the air, perhaps they couldn't fly? That made this challenge even more foolish. Regardless, that made it all the more easy to defeat them. Youmu was not confident in all areas, but she could hold a great deal of confidence in her ability to wield a sword.

Perhaps if one watched closely enough they would have been able to see the blur of green and white as it flashed through the crowd of men. But what was visible for certain was Youmu's sudden appearance behind them, sheathing her katana. Some of the men hit the ground more quickly then others, but they all hit the ground, in pain or unconscious. However, naturally, Youmu had utilized danmaku rules in her attack. The lethality of her blade was blunted, and as a result there was no physical injury to any of those she had attacked.

The small girl straightened.

"Please, don't attempt to challenge us again," Youmu said, straightening as she glanced back towards the men lying on the ground, addressing the ones who were still conscious, "We're still trying to figure out what's going on."
