Touhou Nekokayou: Scarlet Weather Archive in Japanese Red #148

Characters: Cirno, Star Sapphire

Seventeen this is seventeen where the seventeen story-arc starts.17 (It's getting harder and harder to come up with places to drop 17s.) And I'm starting to get "length-creep," I mean this one's eleven panels long! Who knows, by the time I'm done, there might be, y'know ... seventeen panels!! Also, I am no longer doing the Star Wars titles in order.

This is the part where I start to worry that I've raised the bar too high for myself in terms of out-and-out silliness. I mean, yeah, I've got plenty of material, but especially compared to the inspired lunacy of last week, I'm having trouble living up to it, and I'm just feeling kinda pressured now. Probably not a problem, though ...

Cirno's line in panel 6, "WHOOP, WAUGH!", is a reference to Calvin and Hobbes; on at least one occasion, Calvin has exclaimed this in reaction to one of his zany actions going awry. I forget when this actually was.

The "outstretched hands" object in panel 3 is actually in front of the object for the piece of paper.

Transcript

  1. (Cirno and Star Sapphire are lying by the lake at sunset. Cirno's face is completely obscured by a sheet of paper.)
    Cirno: B'duh ... not again ...
    Star Sapphire: Ugh ... this had better not happen every single time!!
  2. (Cirno gets up, the paper still on her face.)
    Cirno: Wh ... what!? I'm blind!! What have you done!?!?
    Star Sapphire: Huh? There's ... a sheet of paper over your face ...
  3. (Cirno midair-stumbles towards Star Sapphire, hands outstretched.)
    Cirno: I'll get you for this!! I ... I mean, Rumia deals with this all the time, i-it can't be that hard!!
    Star Sapphire: You mean crashing into trees? Uh, anyway, I didn't do this, I was unconscious when it happened.
  4. (The pre-battle interface captions appear again, as Cirno spins around away from Star Sapphire.)
    Text: SPELL CARD SET!
    Text: ROUND 2
    Cirno: OBJECTION! How could you know when it happened if you were sposta be unconscious at the time!?

    Cirno: Hah! Attack me from behind, will you!?
    SFX: swordflail!
    Star Sapphire: What? You turned away from me on your own!

    Star Sapphire: THIS IS STUPID!
    Cirno: WHOOP-- WAUGH!!

    Cirno: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!

    Star Sapphire: Ow!!
  9. (Star Sapphire just falls out of the panel, and Cirno turns to the falling paper.)
    Cirno: AGHAAGH-- ... um ... oh. There *was* a paper! And I won!
  10. (Cirno catches the paper and reads it.)
    Cirno: .....

gotta learn to word things more carefully, Dai

Person

Aah, seventeen. What a random number for you to pick. But interesting. I'm too lazy to point out any seventeen crap right now, myon~

Hunter 1

...Is this strip the first hint we have that Dai and Cirno are a couple? Or did the hint appear before?

Or is Cirno just too immature to be in that type of relationship?

Serena

@Hunter1
They must just live together, as the shipping page says Cirno/Utsuho.

Hunter 1

Serena: ...How the hell did I forget THAT detail? I mean, I read the comic where they first kissed!

So yeah, you must be right, they only live together.

Marbo

Anyone else hum the beginning of the star wars theme when reading the first panel?

commode7x

Cirno won with a piece of paper on her face. Truly, she is the strongest.

Bocaj

Cirno is totally selectively obeying that note.

SorataZ

Cirno, winning at everything, even unintentionally.

TARDISES

At last! the first taste of non-laser danmaku! And by extension FREEZING MECHANIC! GO STRONGEST, GO STRONGEST!

Xaltwind

The final panel gave me a good chuckle, very enjoyable.

Ozimul

Dai...
*facepalm* WHY!!!
(XD)

Wymar

Wouldn't Daiyousei be able to easily defeat Tenshi or Suwako?

After all, Paper>Rock.

TARDISES

@Wymar
Suwako also uses water, though. Water makes paper useless.

Zeph

I feel strangely tempted to make a bad pun about how paper would be especially ineffective considering the muffinverse's take on shipping, but that might push the censorship rating up.

Wolf

Well it pretty much shows that this might be the only time Cirno would even listen to Daiyousei's request for once. If only se gave Cirno a certain insentive to just come home. lol

In any caseI know that Saber beats rock, but I guess Ice Sword beats paper. lol
