29 Arah use Sweet Scent, its super effective (1/2)

-Morning, Misty Lake-

-Me POV-​

Name.

A name is an arrangement of words that have been used to identify something, everything, including oneself.

The process of giving one can be based on what that thing can do, or careful planning for what the thing will be become, or maybe it was just based on a whim.

Nonetheless, you will got one, even if you didn't pick anything, you will still got a name, one or the other.

For example, please look at these majestic creatures that are coming toward me.

[Lv.30 Fairy of Ice, Cirno]

[Lv.18 Great Fairy, Daiyousei]

Look at that simplistic name!!

Daiyousei!

SUBARASHI!!

NANTE SUTEKI NAMAE DA!!

It mean Big/Great Fairy in Japanese, and if she's asked about 'who she is' and 'what she is', she can just say her name.

I put down my fishing rod and I buried my face with both of my hands.

”I'm triggered; I'm actually triggered by this shit.”

My praise was a lie.

Her name actually one of many things that keep obscured in Touhou.

In the series, ZUN didn't name her, at all, in Strange and Bright Nature Deity, she doesn't have a name, in Fairy War, she still doesn't have a name, so in the end, fan nicknamed her to be 'Daiyousei' a.k.a Big Fairy based on her specific race and her image name that was called 'image_bf.anm', which 'bf' stand for Big Fairy.

And right now, right here, she's actually called Daiyousei.

”I wanna cry.”

”You smell sweet, are you hiding some candy?” said someone with little girl voice energetically.

”Cirno-chan,” said another stern girly voice as if it trying to scold someone ”Um, are you okay?” she continued with concerned voice.

I look up to locate the voices.

I see them.

Two little girls floating above the water in front of me while I sit on the lake side.

One of them has aqua-colored eyes and hair. She wears a blue ribbon, light pink blouse, blue jumper dress and seems to be wearing white socks. She also has icicle-shaped wings.

The other one has short green hair with a yellow ribbon. She wears a blue dress with white trim and sleeves and also has golden wings.

Cirno and Daiyousei.

But to be fair, my name means 'Direction' when it translated into English, and Cirno origin name is 'Chill', I think I don't have any right to complain when I'm also in the same boat as them.

”Um, hello?” Daiyousei waved her hand in front of my face.

Our entire name represented what we both have or can do, me having Vector Change, Cirno with manipulation of cold, and Daiyousei are just like her name, her thing is 'Dai', if I start comparing it to Cirno and Akyuu, she's definitely more 'Dai' than them.

”Hey! Are you stupid?!” Cirno start yelling to my face.

I hand chop her forehead.

”Ow! You hit me!” said Cirno while holding the place where I chopped her.

”I didn't hit you, I merely chop you.”

”You chopped me!”

”I just chopped your weak, so you're stronger than before now.”

It takes a second for Cirno to process what I just said before going full Cirno again. ”Now, I am the strongest!!” she said proudly while floating higher away from us.

I turn toward Daiyousei.

”Sorry about that, I'm out of my mind at that time.” I said apologetically.

Daiyousei smile wryly, ”We're sorry too, Cirno-chan also at fault for being rude.” she lightly bowed to me.

'A polite one, I see.' I nod at her before searching for Cirno.

She's floating high in the sky; she's also doing flip in the air while screaming 'I'm the strongest!'

”It must be tiring when you to have friend like her.”

”Yes, she is a bit handful to handle sometimes, but we're still having fun.”

”…I see.” said Daiyousei as she slowly float beside me.

We're watching Cirno for a while until my fishing rod starts to rattle.

”Oh, I got one!”

I grab the rod and start standing up, I excitedly reeling in the line.

I already spend more or less 40 minute before both of these fairies found me, and the reason why I decided to go fishing was just based on a whim, the fishing rod that I use is a modern one, I just bought it this morning from the System.

A few second later, I got the fish, and I released it back.

”…Why did you release it back? Didn't you fish it so you can eat it?”

”Nah, I just like fishing them, and also I didn't want to eat fish right now so I just released them immediately.”

”…Hmm…” she hum in understanding.

I reapply the bait before I cast them out again in the water.

I see Daiyousei starts fidgeting in the corner of my eyes but I just keep quiet about it, ignoring her until she start another conversation.

I see Cirno flying down toward us.

”Hey, you smell sweet, do you have some candy?”

In the corner, Daiyousei nodding likes crazy.

'Ah, I see.'

”I don't have candy, but I do have some cookies.”

”Can I have it?!” Cirno eyes start to shine.

”Sure.”

Earlier this morning I bake some cookies instead of cake, you need variation when you are baking this kind of stuff.

I take out 2 pouches full of cookies, the first one I give it to Cirno.

”Cookies!!” Cirno said excitedly.

The second one, I offer it to Daiyousei.

”Do you want some cookies?”

”Yes!!” she said with a smile.

And thus, two little girls eat the cookies that they receive from the stranger.

I sigh.

How can they just accept my cookies, neither of us giving away our name but they just trust my word easily.

I watch the fairies eating their cookies.

I start recalling all the information about fairy in Touhou.

Fairy is immortal in some sense, they are nature, as long as there's nature, there will be fairy, if nature is going wrong, then the fairy will follow, fairies exist everywhere, including in heaven and hell, they can live inside a flower and trees or anything similar, basically, they create a pocket dimension inside those stuff and then the mold the stuff inside the thing to make a room for them to live, if they live inside those thing, a tree for example, then that tree will have exponential growth from other trees. Fairy size are varied from at the size of a palm to adult size woman, example of adult size is the fairy maids in SDM.

I look at Cirno whose eating my cookie with delight.

Fairy can turn into Youkai, evidence by the conversation between Shiki Eiki and Cirno in PoFV (Phantasmagoria of Flower View), she said that Fairies with exceptionally great power may turn into Youkai, if they turn into one, then they will lose their immortality and susceptible to dying, but such scenario never happen until now. And there's also the thing with Clownpiece.

I grunt in annoyance.

I don't know anything about Clownpiece; she's still a fairy even though she's really strong, is it because she's Hecatia subordinate that she didn't become a Youkai? Or is it something else that ZUN haven't been including it in the series? ….You know what, I think I better stop thinking this stuff for now, let's just concluded that Fairy is just little girl with insect wing that's immortal and like to annoy people, yeah, let's do just that shall we. But speaking of fairies, I haven't seen those girls in a while, the trio light fairies.

I look around the lake.

Forest are surrounding the lake, the lake water are calm enough that it didn't create any wave, Cirno and Daiyousei are finished their cookies and they are playing above the lake now, in the distant I see SDM and Meiling, she doing what I think to be martial art training in front of the mansion gate, and I also feel a tug in my rod.

”What a peaceful day.” I said as I start reeling in the line again.

-2 hour mark later-​

The fishes are starting to swim closer to me, and Cirno freezing them inside an ice block one by one while saying ”Take that fish!!”; Daiyousei tried to stop her but she failed, now all she's doing are just looking worried and mumbling ”Hawawawawa…”.

I put away my fishing rod and I just staring at the fairies antic in silent.

After another minutes, I sense something coming to my direction from the lake.

I put up my Counter Armor before it appearing to the surface.

[Lv.25 Lake Mermaid, Wakasagihime]

”Hello there~” the mermaid wave her hand as she swim closer to me.

”Yo.” I wave back.

”Are you perhaps the one that spread this sweet scent?”

”Eyup.” I nod.

”So can you stop doing it? The fishes are starting to go weird.”

”Don't worry, I promise it will stop in an hour.”

”…I see, I will hold on to your word then.”

She's backing off into the lake with suspicion expression on her face.

-3 hour mark later-​

*splash**splash**splash**splash**splash*

”..Okay, this is interesting but kinda disturbing at the same time.”

This is, like, the second time I witness this kind of scene, the first one is from YouTube, many fish jumble up to the surface to eat bread crumbs that people scattered for them, but now, it's more outrageous than that.

They are beaching, the fishes are beaching themselves to my position. I put a Telekinesis Wall between me and them so that they didn't slap me in the face using their own body.

I look around the lake again.

Everyone is looking at me, the two fairies already stop playing and just silently looking at me from the sky, the lake have many several glowing pair of eyes, even Meiling, I can see she's staring at me from the gate.

”Time to peace out, I guess, and let's hope Remilia didn't order Sakuya to hunt me down after Meiling report what she saw, wait, no, let's just hope Meiling didn't report at all, it make everything easier that way.”

I Teleport away to another location.

-Afternoon, Hakurei Shrine-​

”Did you do something recently?”

”…Huh?” I make dumb sound as I'm looking at the Miko beside me. ”What bring this up?”

”Well, did you know the Tengu that giving me a newspaper sometimes ago right?”

I nod. ”Yeah, what about her?”

”Yesterday, she asked if I knew about someone that has sweet scent coming out from his body.”

I raised one of my eyebrows. ”That's-…So…did you tell her about me?”

”Unfortunately, yes.” she said with a tone of sorry.

I sigh in annoyance, 'Getting angry at her would be pointless, she already gave me away, I can't change the past.'

But unexpectedly, Reimu continue to talk, ”At first, I jokingly said I knew that someone, but I'll only tell them if they pay me in gold.”

”…But then they actually paid you with gold”

She nod, ”And because I already gave away my word, I tell them about you.”

Again, I sigh in annoyance.

”…The Tengu is it? I haven't met them ever since last Autumn, I do remember something that they will hold me on to, but I don't think it was serious enough that they will continue chasing me to outside of their territory.”
