Nico and Cook, dressed as shrine maidens, were helping out at the shrine where Gara's father was the chief priest. While helping out, Nico cast a spell called anicut on the paper used to make the paper streamers, creating a moving paper cat. Gara immediately tried making a bird to send flying into the sky, but it was too awkwardly shaped and unable to fly. However, because she cut it so poorly, it ended up looking like a "shikigami," and it seemed to have given birth to some kind of life that would never disappear.
