> "An excellent idea..."
> Locate ice fairy in question and challenge her to a duel!

> You leave the current fairies alone, not that any of them started going after you yet, and head for Misty Lake. Surely she'll be there, if not on the way.
> Sure enough, you do find Cirno at the destination.
> She appears to be building a structure of some sort near the nearby mansion. A spire, or maybe just a tower. Though, Sakuya is already confronting her.
> "Well it's not inside your gates. This is our lake anyways, you guys just came here afterwards." Cirno questions. "I didn't just make some Scarlet Devil Tower or something for you guys."
> "Are we going to have a problem in the end?" Sakuya questions.
> "It doesn't have to be. Will it be alright if we don't make a lot of noise?" Another fairy questions the maid.
> "Hm..." Sakuya considers.

> Now that you're close to others, you notice something strange about them coming into focus. It's like someone put glasses on you and you're seeing things that weren't there before.
> For Cirno, it feels like something mostly chilly and egotistical. You can notice similar things in Sakuya and the other fairy, though different for each...

> What do these 'auras' look like?
> Land nearby and casually stroll towards the fairies and this Sakuya.
> Inquire "What seems to be the problem here?"

> Inquire "What seems to be the problem here?"

> They don't have much of a form you can discern.
> You land and approach.
> "It'd nothing a passerby should worry about." Sakuya says.
> "These guys are trying to monopoly the lake!"
> "Monopolize." The other fairy corrects Cirno.

> "Monopoly?  That sounds like a fun game..." laugh.
> Propose "How about you settle it this way: both of you challenge me to a duel simultaneously, whoever lands the most hits on me before the end wins and gets to have it their way..."
> That'll force the two of them to set their differences asside work together.
> Let our other half know we might need to summon them temporarily for backup during the fight if they agree.

> "I see no reason for me to agree to such a thing. I could deal with this lot myself." Sakuya says.
> "Be that as it may-" The other half of you chimes in. "fairies are tenacious creatures. What stops them from doing it again and again?"
> "What stops them from doing that regardless if they lose?" Sakuya questions back. "I've heard few stories of fairies that stick to such agreements, let alone listening to them in the first place."
