Of course, the journey, as expected, would come grinding to a halt just as the Village was in sight. And the temperature was felt becoming somewhat colder.
<span class="mu-b"><span class="mu-s">"HALT!"</span></span>
You abruptly paused right in the middle of the road.
"Who in the world is..."
<span class="mu-i">"Shhck! Great, it's <span class="mu-b">her</span> of all people."</span> Reimu grumbled.
"Who...?"
<span class="mu-b">"ME!"</span>
You looked up at the morning sun hanging overhead as it rose even further into the sky. Slowly, a figure who appeared only as a silhouette in the sunlight descended, almost heavenly in look as they came down and landed in front of you and Reimu, who seemed more annoyed than anything.
And they...
They were...
THEY WERE...!
Shorter than you, much shorter.
<span class="mu-b">"Behold! It is I, the STRONGEST in all of Gensokyo! The greatest Fairy there ever was who lived! The one who's going to rule this land in the future and become your undisputed lord!"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"CIRNO!"</span>

The Fairy, who made such an imposing and illustrious entry pointed up to slightly above your and Reimu's heads, curling her other arm with a fist. Her icy wings stood tall behind her back. She looked like a soul completely devoid of all fear...
"Chi... Chiri-no? ...Who?"
<span class="mu-i">"It's Cirno. She's an Ice Fairy."</span>
Cirno seemed a bit shocked at being taken so lightly, and she spun her arms in circles from the joints, hopping on one foot as she stumbled before regaining her composure and stance, crossing her arms.
<span class="mu-b">"Hey! You better not be underestimating me, or you're going to regret it! I heard from my fellow Fairies that there was a Human who defeated a Youkai on these roads. They sounded pretty tough, and I felt like fighting just because I want to fight! So I've set out to find them, and beat them to a pulp myself, just to show everyone that I am truly the strongest, once again!"</span>
"So you're here to kick my ass?"
<span class="mu-b">"Huh? Your what? Did you mean, kick your butt? No. I'm not here for you, I'm here for the man said to have beaten a Youkai on this road."</span>
"..."
Reimu nudged your shoulder with her elbow. <span class="mu-i">"...Fairies aren't very smart."</span>
"Duly noted."
