Medicine: Hm? Aren't you...dolls? There are dolls like me around!?
Shanghai: ......?
Huh...Someone's controlling these dolls. Boo, aren't there any other dolls who can move on their own like me?
......*flap flap*
It seems they're being treated really well though...Are you two happy? You can't answer, huh? *sigh*...
BGM: Poison Body ~ Forsaken Doll ~ Sengoku Arr. ~
**********
We attack the Nameless Hill, expecting to meet quite a challenge with both Medicine and Yuuka holding down the fort. However, we were quite surprised when greeted by a third PoFV character that happened to join their group.
We take a heavy beating at first. Yuuka strikes Shanghai for nearly all her HP, while Komachi lands a very lucky Higan Ferrier on Reimu when she was still at full health. Shikieiki and Alice mounted a strong comeback, though, and turn after turn of powerful ranged attacks would take their toll on our foes. Still, this was a hard-earned victory.
No captures, though. I kind of want to take Komachi.

Sunny: Hey, Cirno! I wanna ask you something.
Cirno: What?
Luna: It seems we'll be living here for awhile...
Star: So we were going to make a house here...Are there any good trees around?
There's lots of trees growing around the lake. Just look around and pick one you like.
Okay, we'll go do that.
Don't go too far!
...So, which one should we use?
How about that one? The branches are really high, so it'll be a good fit.
Yeah, let's use that.
Hmph!
Umph!
Mmph...there. This looks great!
Though all we did is spread some wood over the branches.
If you wanna do a full-blown house, then it'll take a lot longer than a day. More importantly, look that way!
Wow, what a great view!
We can see the whole lake from here.
The cool breeze feels great too, let's come here very summer!
Yeah, we'll build a proper house next time.
*creak*
Hm? Did someone just make a sound?
It wasn't me.
Even if you did it, we wouldn't hear it.
Well, it was probably nothing...Mm, the scenery is so good, and the breeze is so refreshing!!
Hey, don't move around so much!
*creak creak*
......
......Did I just hear a creak?
It wasn't me.
*creaaaaak*
Ah, ah, wahhh!
It's collapsing!
We're going to fall!
The wooden planks they placed on top of the branch fell apart, sending the three fairies on top of them plummeting to the ground.
Owwww...Ah-ah, our new house is all broken now.
It's your fault! You didn't build your part well enough!
What!? That was so your part!
There they go again...They're really no different from each other.
It's your fault too!
It's your fault too!
Letty: ............So loud......
**********
Yuuka: Oh my...? It is that season, isn't it? I suppose you have to finish your job before winter comes.
Wriggle: ...Why are you looking at me like I'm some kinda insect?
Am I wrong?
You're not, but that stare of yours really gives me the creeps.
My, don't worry, I'm not scary. After all, without insects like you, flowers would be little more than seeds. Now now, work on my garden, please.
I didn't come here for that!
**********
Yuuka leads a surprising assault once again on the Garden of the Sun, and, well, this was pretty bad. She puts up huge numbers against Wriggle and Marisa, and Hourai's healing wasn't anywhere near enough. Aya alone really can't hope to overcome Yuuka and the rest of her cohorts.

This was a rough turn for us. I'm really starting to doubt our ability to double-attack on the Nameless Hill, as our beta team has such a tough time beating just Yuka and some generics. Throwing Medicine and Komachi into the mix will make it all the more difficult.
I think Hourai's cutscene with Medicine is the same, given what she said in this one.
