2 Unexpected Meeting (1/2)

(Author note : Ability point will change into AP and Item point into IP.)
-Late Morning, Muenzuka-
Skip, hop and jump the lilies~.
Skip, hop and jump the lilies~.
Skip, hop and jump the lilies~.
Right now, I happily skipped in the middle of a flowery road in the forest, pleased my song rhymed.
”GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE RASCAL.” I heard a voice yelling behind me.
But if you want me to be more accurate, here was my situation. I was skillfully skipping boost to evade the red spider lilies (in case some of you who didn't know, these lilies are poisonous) the poison located in their bulb, which mean as long as I didn't crush them, the poison wouldn't fly into the air and get me…right?
”JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL I GET MY HAND ON YOU.” The yelling noise came back.
So you ask me what I meant by skipping boost, well, it's my ability. It's called Vector Change, it's a power to change direction of anything and control the velocity of the object I touch including me. Right now it's still low on level so I can't do crazy stuff like what Accelerator-senpai did yet, but anyway when I start jumping I control my velocity to speed up and lengthening my jump, and I don't need to worry about crushing any flower because I can literally control where I land.
”I WILL TEAR YOUR APART, LIMB FROM LIMB!” The yelling kept coming.
…I can't keep ignoring that noise didn't I?
I jumped and glanced at behind me.
[Lv.21 Werewolf]
Some random Werewolf found me after I started my journey to get out from here.
”Heeey, I think you should give up on me.” I suggested to him.
”SHUT UP HUMAN! STOP JUMPING AROUND AND GET INTO MY BELLY!” he replied with a shout.
'We have been doing this like more than 20 minute', I think.
The damn thing just wouldn't give up, and he just bulldozed through those poisonous flower. I swear to god if he didn't die after this chase then I will call hax at this bullshit…oh wait, this is Gensokyo, I need to be more specific with God because there's legitimately many Gods and Goddesses that live in here.
…
Hm? You are curious why I can keep doing this even though 20 minute already passed? Well, that's easy. I was using the System.
[Body Enchantment Lv.1]: 3.000 AP.
[Vector Change Lv.2]: 5.000 AP.
Fufufu, I upgraded my ability and not only that.
[Vitality Booster Pill] x 2: 500 IP x 2 = 1.000 IP.
I figure I was probably gonna do a lot of running, so why don't I just buy item and abilities that enable me to run for a long time and also fast at the same time.
Leap boosting and a wolf that was running bipedal, you can guess who's faster.
The effect of the new ability was as the name suggested, enchant my body to become stronger, I was probably just as strong as an Adult Gensokyan or probably still weaker, I don't know.
Random tidbit for you guys, Gensokyo humans are stronger than normal Human because they originated from Youkai Exterminator Human that used to battle youkai everyday and lived in the youkai invested land that we called Gensokyo right now; they also may develop an ability because of exposure to the supernatural energy of Gensokyo. Basically they are Saiyan people without Super Saiyan bullshit and Ape tail bullshit.
And I was starting to talk to myself, Great!...
'I really need someone to talk to…'
”STOP RUNNING AWAY!”
…beside that guy obviously.
-30 minute later-
I just remembered that the big purple cherry blossom was located at the End of Muenzuka, so yeah…
Complaining about how much longer this road was gonna take was kinda a waste of energy, in the first place complaining about anything IS a waste of energy.
After a while, I saw what looked like an entrance to the forest, an open dirt road without any flowers on it.
”FINALLY!” I shouted and prepared for probably the hardest jump I would ever manage in my entire life,” FREEDOOOM!” I rocketed toward the exit.
-Early Afternoon, Road of Reconsideration-
”FREEDOOOM!” I zipped away into the road, flying in the sky, like a butterfly, no? Okay…
I landed on the clearing in front of the forest entrance with Ironman landing pose.
”ARAH –SAMA HAS ARRIVED!” I said with a smug look on my face.
*ding*

[2* Go to the Human Village]
[Search and go to the Human Village for safety]
”Huhu, I'm such a badass.” Still having a smug look on my face.
Speaking of bad-ass, I just realized the werewolf wasn't on my ass anymore. What happen?

Death by poison, that's what happen, suck it generic werewolf mob, I didn't care how I got the exp from his death, but that's what you get for being an ass.
After I met with the last boss, I wasn't scared with nothing anymore, except a pair of vampires or a flower lady or a ghost lady or a one star printed horn lady or…Big Sis Yukari.
'Oh wow, I can't wait to fucking perish.'
”Umm…” a squeaky voice suddenly entered my ears.
I immediately flicked my head toward the sound.
”Good afternoon, Arah-san if that's what your name is.” said the owner of the voices with helpless smile.
A small girl, she's so small that she definitely could pass as an elementary student, purple hair, purple eyes and wore a light pink, flower-shaped ornament in her hair, which matched flowers on her sleeves. Her outfit resembled a ”wa lolita” type or a Japanese-esque maid outfit. It had yellow flower-patterned sleeves, a green vest, and a shortened hakama skirt separated by a red, white laced obi.
It's your favorite Gensokyo Chronicler, Akyuu-chan.
[Lv.12 Child of Miare, Hieda no Akyuu]
Somehow, I felt that I was actually weaker than Gensokyan child right now….
Welp, clueless boy mode on.
I stood up and readied my knife.
”Wait-wait-wait Arah-san, there's no need to worry, I am a Human!” She said hurriedly while she raised her hands.
”Yeah yeah, the last guy I heard saying ”I am human”, he suddenly turned hairy and got a lot of sharp teeth, and maybe you'll suddenly turn hairy and try to eat me too.” Well, I didn't really experience those events, but it fit the description of that werewolf.
”You probably referring to a Werewolf, but believe me, I am a Human and I am definitely not gonna turn hairy!” She insisted and sounded a little angry (?).
”I don't know about that, a little girl just standing in the middle of nowhere alone beside a forest full of Youkai, nope, not convincing at all.”
”Well, I have my reason for going out here alone, but please understand that I mean you no harm.”
”Then what's your proof?”
”Proof?”
”Yeah, prove that you mean me no harm.”
Oh my god, I'm actually doing this, I'm bullying a LOLI, and she actually seriously thinking about this.
I know this is a serious matter but I am a bad boy, I am so sorry, but bullying a loli is one of my list of 'Things I must at least once in my life'.
I was smiling really wide right now, but I needed to look serious.
I covered my mouth with my free hand's sleeve.
…She was still in her thinking pose.
To be fair it's kinda hard to prove you are a human to an Outsider if almost half of the youkai are looks human with additional something and so many different color hair because this is japonesu.
She finished thinking.
”Youkai have a hard body; a knife won't injure them.”
”So you mean, I stab you with a knife, if you are bleeding then you are a human, if you are not then you are a Youkai?” I asked.
”Yes.” She confirmed while holding out her hands.
Well, that was hardcore. My smile disappeared.
”How about we do something more safe?” I suggested.
”More safe?”
”Yeah, show me your teeth, those creature usually have a really sharp teeth. That's it.”
”...Are you sure? You don't need any more checking from me?”
”Yes, I'm very aware of how they look when they transform, they usually keep their fangs just because they wanted to still look ferocious.”
She nod, ”Okay, if that's what you want then I'll comply to prove that I'm not a Youkai.” then she opened her mouth and shows her teeth.
'Great, with this I won't look ignorant and I can still keep my image up.' I started walking toward her.
After observing her non existent sharp fang, I gave her an OK signal that we're cool.
”Now that's out of the way, Arah-san I noticed that you are knew our language.” She finally said to me in the way that made it seem like a question.
”Ah, no actually, at first I didn't know your language.”
”'At first'? Then how come you are able to speaking right now?”
”It's because of her. When I was in the forest, she helped me out with the language problem.”
”She?” she tilted her head.
Now, IT IS TIME TO REVEAL. ”Big Sis Yukari.” I said with a smile on my face.
She was probably dumbfound with my answer because her eyes were wide open.
”Big Sis Yukari? As in The Youkai Sage Yakumo Yukari” she said in disbelief at what I just said, probably because I was helped by someone that said it's okay to eat any Outsider.
”I don't know about any Youkai Sage but if that's Big Sis Yukari title and full name, then maybe it is her.”
”Hm, could Arah-san describe what this 'Big Sis Yukari' look like?” she questioned my testament.
”Sure, she have purple eye, blond hair, pink mob hat, purple dress, and sitting on a hole in the air that have many eyes inside it.” If you see anyone with this description, just give up and prepare to fucking perish.
”Yeah that's definitely her,” her eyes started sparkling, ”but why did she help you? Arah-san is an Outsider.” She pondered.
”Ahahaha,” I smiled helplessly,” well she probably heard me talking about starting a new life.” I believe that I should be truthful with this kind of stuff.
”New life? What do you mean? Ah, if you don't want to talk about it, Arah-san doesn't need to tell me.” She said.
I smiled, 'what a nice girl'.
”Don't worry about it, I want to start over from here on out so I already left it behind, no hard feeling.” My existence was already erased back home, so I couldn't really go back again. I didn't know how to go back anyway.
”But I don't think Yakumo-san just let you go with just that.” she wondered.
