SSS Extra with no misses, no bombs, no green border breaks and all spells captured. Well, "captured". Probably the memeiest ExNNN you'll see.

1) Unethical Seiryuu strats. Rika's entrance is timed, so she can appear during the midboss if you delay killing her spells long enough, instantly ending the current spell and skipping anything afterwards (including remaining spells, if any, or the rest of the stage). For some reason, this counts as a capture. However, in exchange for getting a free capture on the midboss final I have to wait out 3-4 waves of the midboss 2nd spell, which is annoying and random.

2) 3rd spell shenanigans. Ordinarily, you'd dodge the hearts coming out by running to the side, but I'm impatient and don't like waiting out 2.5 waves. So I developed dumb speedkill strats. Imperishable Shooting (TM)

Other relevant strategies for annoying attacks:
2nd spell: Staying off the bottom and retreating while reading the blue butterflies as they show up helps.
4th nonspell: Super easy, but staying still in lane is risky, because there's a small chance that you might clip at the end of the wave. (I'm not sure why.)
6th nonspell: Dodge until butterflies cross. The gaps rotate clockwise slowly, so follow them. I recommend doing one or two cutbacks for safety.
6th spell: Trigger all the flower clusters in the bottom corner. When the pattern switches directions all remaining clusters home in on you, so doing this ensures you won't get blocked off when trying to escape downwards.
7th spell: Start high and move down with the flowers / petals to give yourself more time to react.
8th nonspell: Play safe. Prioritize distance from Rika over dealing damage, because the butterflies are almost impossible to discern against the background when they overlap.
9th spell: Misdirect the spirit, it moves towards your position when it fires a wave. Just use the route I use, which I stole from Aluh Izayoi's Koishi Extra scorerun.
Final: bottomhugging helps. Move up only when necessary.

That's it really. This took a while.
