Patchouli narrowed her eyes at the mention of the shrine maiden and her accomplice. She respected the shrine maiden for keeping the peace, but she couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy when Remilia remarked about their powers. Power wasn't everything, and one couldn't surmount every problem with brute force alone. Sometimes knowledge had to take the reins and do the job.
"That rat-thief is a good example, yes, but she is also a good example of humanity's flaws," Patchouli replied. "Greed, pride, materialistic manners of living, pleasures of the flesh, and other trivial values that are beneath me... save for pride, but without it, who is to say what I would do?"

The Blowhole
The rock hit Nitori's head, and because she wasn't expecting it, it almost knocked her into the lava.
"Hey! I'm not fire-resistant you know! Pranks are okay, but doesn't killing people go a little too far?"
She looked around. The lava covered the ground, with Yuugi's stepping stones being scattered here and there.
Staying here might be dangerous. She didn't know how fast injuries from molten rock would heal, but she didn't want to find out.
"Yuugi? Would you mind going a little further in?"
The water surrounding her had dissipated. Her concentration had left her just now, when the rock hit her, and she had trouble handling herself in this heat without protection. A kappa like her was at its best in the water, not in a lava filled environment. Without any way to fly, her options were limited. And all her opponent did so far was throwing rocks at her and Yuugi. She thought about the time when she helped that kleptomanic witch go to the underground to make that nuclear bird give them nuclear energy. She was sure they passed over a river then. Yes, she was sure of it. A very jealous youkai stopped them there. But more important, the river could give her power. And it was devoid of easy to reach rocks.
Without any more thinking, she broke into a run.

Then, appearing out of nowhere in Nitori's way, a seemingly impassable wall of danmaku appeared in Nitori's way, blocking her progress.

"But of couse humanity is flawed. Everything has it's flaws, whether it be humans, youkai, celestials, gods, all are not perfect. Every rose has it's thorn, as that old saying goes." Remilia said.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Koakuma stumbled on a pile of books and collapsed to the floor with an audible 'eep'. Patchouli looked after her for a moment in silent resignation before shrugging and returning her attention to Remilia. Now she was just stating facts. Of course everything had its flaws, but it were those flaws that made things interesting. The best characters in literary history had tragic flaws that made them unique and likable. Those who had flaws of their own were drawn to characters that shared them. As Koakuma got back to her feet with a sheepish grin, Patchouli yawned.
"Yes, yes. I know this, Remilia."
She was tempted to ask about the missile again, but as Patchouli thought about it, she came to the conclusion that she had no interest in Remilia's reasons.
"Is there anything else you wish to discuss? Flandre's wellbeing, the guard at the gates... Philosophy, perhaps?"

"Debating philosophy with you would be like an amateur fighter facing a grand master. Though, on that first note, I have been missing one of Flan's toys, and Sakuya said it might be in here somewhere. Little teddy bear, enchanted with almost unbreakable magic?" Remilia asked.

Yuugi pierced the rock with her horn and stood still on the rock bridge to not to fall into the magma "I think you are getting too far with this prank little one" she said outloud to the invisible person
Then she noticed the kappa running towards the bridge were Parsee was and soona Danmaku wall appeared on her way "Oh you won´t!" the oni ran towards the wall
"Im not called the Devah of strength for nothing!" Yuugi growled punching with a hell of power to break the wall or to atleast push it aside

As Yuugi punched, her fist went through the wall like air. It was seemingly an illusion. Her fist kept going and eventually hit herself in the head.

Patchouli shook her head.
"I'm afraid I've not seen your sister's bear in my library. You may trust the maid's words, but are you certain Flandre didn't misplace it in her quarters?"
"M-Mistress..."
The mage turned to eye the little devil who spoke up. Koakuma looked up at the mage and vampire like a mouse caught between two tigers. Her fingers played with the hem of her dress; a nervous habit.
"Yes? What is it, Koakuma?" Patchouli asked.
"I th-think I know where the teddy bear is. I saw it this morning in one of the guest rooms at the north end." Koakuma looked at Patchouli's narrowed, judging eyes and winced. "S-Sir Stuffington?"
"Why didn't you tell me of this oddity sooner?" Patchouli demanded.
"I... I thought it was yours," Koakuma confessed.
Patchouli closed her eyes and sighed. She seemed disappointed, but the pink tint in her cheeks hinted that she was embarrassed Koakuma would think such a thing. There was no need to tie herself to an inanimate object for comfort and protection. Her grimoire did the job just well enough. Eventually, she nodded and spoke in her normal, emotionless tone.
"Thank you, Koakuma. Kindly go and retrieve it, will you?"
Koakuma nodded and flew off with an awkward, panicked motion. Patchouli looked back at Remilia and shrugged.

Feeling the punch on her face, the oni fell backwards "Dang it that hurt" she said rubbing her nose and got serious
"You wanted to start some trouble? congratulations! you found it! Mysterious Ring "Hell's Wheel of Pain"! Yuugi growled making a backflip as Danmaku bullets went as flying circles to random directions

Remilia chuckled. "Your familiar is at times adorable. Don't you think?"

Koishi dodged the bullets, but as they hit the walls, the entire cavern shook, causing rocks to fall from the ceiling. it got worse with every bullet cluster.
