Double battles!

Momoko's wolf led the team to the culprit of the possession incident: Yuzuru Kagawa!

Or... at least, someone possessing Yuzuru Kagawa.

Meanwhile, Amadahy and Nana fought the tengu detective Akari!

Akari drew spell cards from her past investigation cases, and Yuzuru was a lot stronger than she was half a year ago, but in the end, both teams emerged triumphant.

Iku used some kind of device to force Yuzuru's possessor out into the open: The tengu troublemaker Yae Miyagihara!

The same tengu who Akari was trying to find.

Now the teams head off to join up and defeat Yae, with Iku emphatically suggesting a coverup so that word of tengu stealing kappa tech doesn't reach the factions.

Next: We're on stage 2 and we've already found the culprit.

SESSION BREAKDOWN

Akari was our main new enemy boss this session!

A Level 12 Agi/Guts Elite with one spell card.

All of her techniques were references to famous Japanese detective fiction!

"Danmaku of Twenty Faces" = The Fiend of Twenty Cases, the first adventure of Akechi Kogoro

Closed Sign "Decagon House" = The Decagon House Murders, by Yukito Ayatsuji

Recollection "Murder in the Red Chamber" = The book of the same name by Taku Ashibe

Unsolved Mystery "Logic Bomb" = Logic Bomb, a young adult murder mystery by an author whose name escapes me

Non-serial Magic Incident = Non-Serial Murders, by Sakaguchi Ango

wait she never used that one

Mystery Opera = Mystery Opera, by Masaki Yamada

Last Word: Perfect Crime "Gensokyo Zodiac" = Tokyo Zodiac Murders, by Soji Shimada

I worked hard on this gimmick okay

anyway Yuzuru was the same but leveled up to 12 basically
