"You're mistaken," Ran Yakumo replied. "Actually, causality was distorted the moment the Book of Prophecy appeared. Everything that would happen had already changed, even things that had happened in the past."

Honestly, Linde was a little intimidated by these beings from Gensokyo. Unlike Gensokyo, this world had no Spell Card rules to
