<span class="mu-i">"Since you're the catalyst for the events that have been set in motion in Gensokyo, we'll leave it to you to choose our next move. In the meantime, you should settle on who you want to take with you. And what else you want to pickup on the way."</span> Kasen says.
<span class="mu-g">"It means, if you seek to bolster yourself, now would be the time to do so, student."</span> Mima said, jingling her staff.
"Alright, I got it. Just give me some time to think it over."
<span class="mu-i">"Very well. Until then, we can all relax."</span> Reimu declares.
And so, everyone went about their day at the Shrine.
<span class="mu-s">|=================================================================|</span>
A few hours passed, lunch was made and enjoyed, the girls mingled about, and you had spent most of your time sitting in lonesome contemplation of what to do next.
Kasen and Mima had had a discussion in the meantime, the Hermit informed the Ghost about her desire to train you. Though Mima would be saddened to lose a student, especially one she saw so much potential in, she would ultimately concede to the Hermit. Of course, she took time out of her day to offer you one last lecture on the arcane arts, as consolation, before you should be taken on as Kasen's disciple. She had many spells to offer, but only enough time to teach two. Though Kasen gives you a fair warning, learning more sorceries diminished your potential to possess many mystical Hermit abilities, or improve your physical health beyond what it already was.
<span class="mu-s">Marisa, Reimu, Suika, Reisen, Clownpiece, Kogasa, Kagerou and Mokou</span> have all been unlocked as party members. You can take a maximum of three of them with you.
When you choose the next mission of the Incident Solvers, you could expect that action would be reached immediately. There was no time to dally in the face of Surtr's threat. Anything else you wanted to do until then, now was always a good time. Any mingling, any chats, anything. Everyone was here, the Village was down there, and the sun was still up above.
<span class="mu-s">As for the mission itself...</span>
>You thought it best to go ahead and investigate the ties Okina had with the Scarlets, in uncovering Surtr's plot. (GREAT GOD WARS)
>You thought it best to go on with tracking down Shameimaru Aya and learning what she knew from Matara Okina. (EXTERMINATIONS IN PARADISE)
<span class="mu-s">As for your time at the Shrine...</span>
>What will you do?
