"This person you are talking about," Grimnír starts. "Is he that Trident Lunatic attacking travellers?"

"Keine and the villagers call him that," says Wriggle.

"And you are telling me that this person defeated Marisa single-handedly?" he says.

"He didn't answer Marisa's challenge for a spell card duel," Wriggle answers. "He just started attacking as soon as she got too close."

"This is the same person who beat you the first time we met?" asks Grimnír.

"Y-yes," she says, looking away. "He was ridiculously powerful, and he didn't fight fairly."

"I see," replies Grimnír. "Then, may I ask you a simple question?"

Wriggle nods slowly, though she still looks confused.

"If you can't beat him, and Marisa can't beat him, what makes you think that this guy can be beaten with only the two of us? Just so you know, I may be a magician, but my skills are nowhere close to that of Marisa."

The firefly girl looks down despondently, but she stays silent.

"For something like this, we will need some extra help," says Grimnír. "It just so happens that I am currently searching for a way to contact Yukari Yakumo."

"W-what? The gap youkai?" Wriggle asks disbelievingly.

"Yes. I believe that she is more than capable for resolving both of our problems."

"..."

"All we need to do is convince Yuyuko to give us a way to talk to Yukari. Hopefully, we can get her help to resolve this incident. So, why don't you just calm down and -"

"Shut up!" she whispers fiercely.

Grimnír takes a step back in surprise. Her reaction caught him off-guard.

"W-what?" he mumbles.

"I said shut up, you big idiot!" cries the firefly girl. "You're all the same! None of you understand!"

Without warning, Wriggle raises her hand and fires a bright yellow energy ball at him. Grimnír barely has time to raise a barrier to block the shot.

"Hey! No need to be violent!" he argues.

"You all talk and talk about your plans and schemes," says Wriggle. "You calmly sip your tea and discuss incidents like they are part of everyday gossip."

She fires another bolt at him. Grimnír cringes at the impact.

"I-I thought you were different," whispers Wriggle.

She looks up at him, tears flowing freely from her eyes.

"My friends are dying!" she cries. "I will not stand here and watch, while you discuss it over lunch party!"

"J-just listen for a second," says Grimnír.

"Shut up!" shouts Wriggle. "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

He raises both of her hands toward him, gathering energy from the air. In seconds, the room glows bright yellow with the light in her hands. If she launches a full barrage at close range, it will definitely tear this room (and possibly him) apart.

"W-wait! Try to be reasonable!" cries Grimnír desperately.

"Get out," she whispers. "I'll save my friends alone, if I have to."

"What?" he says.

"Get out of my way," says Wriggle. "You damn... human."

She looks serious. He has time to try one or two things.
[ ] Let her do what she wants. No need to get involved any further.
[ ] Strengthen your barrier and block the door. You can't let her fly off.
[ ] Attempt to counterattack. You can probably try Fire element magic.
[ ] Try declaring the spell card. It reads, "Logos Sign, 「Calculated Risk」"
[ ] Use _____ magic. You have to stop her.
