Ahhh, most excellent...

Patchouli's arrival was actually -less- troublesome than I was expecting! Though that more to do with Remilia actually being at the castle by the point she arrived which was clearly to the good.

"If anyone asks, you never see me do this." Was starting to wonder when G would be forced to pull out the "obviously futuristic tech" for emergency use. A good use for it, at least, so there's that.

I wasn't expecting Patchouli to have been (I'm guessing) the mentioned-but-unnamed daughter of Remilia the Elder's old friend Lucrezia Sapere. Also, getting to see Remi just properly twisting her tail, and even coining "Patchy" as a nickname was delightful.

...and yet another Ryo Zan Paku reference. This time in an active state even! That particular mystery turning up once again is always a fun one.
