Recently, your friend, Marisa Kirisame, has begun to target you in her thieving escapades. Usually it'd be Patchouli Knowledge and her books in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, but it seems her thievery from you is rather personal. Allow me to explain:

You see, you and Marisa had made a trip to Mayohiga, an abandoned village now taken over by stray cats, to go sight seeing. During that time, you two engaged in a fierce competition: who can plunder the most loot from Mayohiga before the sun comes down?

Spoiler alert: you won. Despite being incredibly fast, you had, surprisingly, managed to outsmart even Marisa to give yourself an edge in the competition. As such, you took much of your loot home with you, which included some fancy and ornate pottery, or old jewels and accessories, or just tomes that may be written in an indecipherable youkai language. You thought that would be the end of it...but Marisa was kind of a sore loser. The first robbery happened as you were relaxing at home:

"Yo, da ze! I'll be borrowin' these, thanksalot!" Marisa had blown a hole through your wall by flying through your window with her broom, rapidly shoved as many of your belongings from Mayohiga as possible into a comically large gray sack, and ran off before you could catch her.

You thought it was a one off experience, but the day you were hammering your wall back into place and just finished it--BAM!

"I'm back, forgot some things I wanted here, da ze! Thanks, we can talk about return dates later!"

After that second time came a third time, and a fourth time, eventually you thought, okay, so she clearly is still butthurt over losing and wants to get what she thinks she rightfully deserves. So, how do you stop one incredibly fast, incredibly flashy, incredibly destructive love colored magician? Simple. Logic. Or a lack thereof.

You set up a white sign outside your house that read, "gone on vacation, back in a few days." After that, you hid in a fake bush an waited for a certain blonde witch to take the bait.

Lo and behold, there she was. Marisa came zooming in, but surprisingly stopped at your doorz reading the sign. "Gone on vacation, huh? Aw, but the fun part is seeing the look on their face..."

She tipped her large witch hat and looked around the area. Birds were chirping, and insects hummed. A few fairies were playing elsewhere, their voices distant. "...yeah, this definitely stinks of river fish...and they're definitely not jumping over waterfalls anytime soon."

A brief pause.

"Well, opportunity awaits, da ze!"

And so, Marisa flew through your door once more, but this time, you were ready. The action had set off a trap, one that made a net shoot out from inside your house and capture one troublesome Ordinary Magician.

"Waaugh?! Damn it, the old fake vacation sign trick...man, I really fell for an oldie but a goodie, huh. Gotta admit that was kind of smart, though...I guess the simplest traps catch the greatest thieves after all...I would be more mad if it wasn't a little funny." Marisa grabbed her mini Hakkero from under her skirt with a grin, aiming it at the net. "Oh well. I'll just Master Spark my way out of here, da ze!"

This was simply the dynamic between the two of you. You were sort of like Marisa's other, second, maybe third best friend, behind Reimu up top. Some days, you and Marisa stole together. Other days, you and Marisa lazily solicited on the Hakurei Shrine. Some days, you two just got on the other's nerves. It's how Marisa worked: straightforward as ever.

Anyways, you should probably startle her or reveal yourself before she blows a massive rainbow laser out the net.

"MASTAAAAAAAH SPAAAAAAAAAARK-" The Hakkero, which was a hand-sized octagonal block of wood, with the eight Taoist trigrams inscribed in a circle around its center, began to glow brightly in it center.
