44 The Missing Spring part EX ? (2/2)

Let's just give her share of foods, yeah, her share of foods. I knew that somehow she will appear when I'm doing this. In the game, every last boss always visited Reimu every time she solved their incident.

I take out many foods from the food basket using Telekinesis.

After the mat is full of food, I pile them up. Pile and pile of food keep stacking up in front of Yuyuko.

A bit of information, Yuyuko is a glutton.

”What a smell, I'm sure the dishes gonna be delicious as well.” said Yuyuko with a cherry tone.

”…Oi, isn't this a preferential treatment? Why did she have more food share than we do?” Reimu is annoyed with what she sees.

”There's something that he didn't say to us-ze, something happened when he met her that he's doing this-ze.” said Marisa with suspicion.

I ignored them. ”Please help yourself, Yuyuko-san.”

”Is that so? Then I won't hold back, all right?” Yuyuko said with a smile.

She picked up her chop stick and then her mouth turned into a black hole.

She put the food into her mouth, and a second later another food enter her mouth, and this action repeat itself several times. I didn't even saw her chewing her food, she just stuff food after food without pause.

Reimu and Marisa are flabbergasted with what they seeing right now.

”Master, this person is amazing!” Bara expresses her amazement.

”Ooooh, this is the first time I saw such hungry ghost.” Akyuu voiced out her interest.

Another bit of explanation, Phantom and Ghost are different thing, when someone become a Phantom, that's when they accepted the fact that they're death, they're willing to go to the other side and be judged by the Yama, the judge of the afterlife, but Ghost, they appeared when someone is in denial with their death, they will stay in the world until someone do their memorial service, they accepted that they died or their grudge is disappear, and you know how dangerous a ghost is if they have their grudge on, hint hint, 'The Ring', that's a nice example of a grudged ghost. So in essence, Ghost is more dangerous than Phantom.

”I've come to search for the Miko, thinking that she already moved to do something about the new mess that is currently happening, but what did I see, she's actually just enjoying a feast without worry right now.”

I look at the new comer.

Sakuya has arrived.

”The culprit from before also here as well, then can you do something about the sudden mass appearance of the Phantom? They are swarming our Mansion every day, and their presences are not welcomed by our mistress.” complained Sakuya.

”She's right, nowadays all I see is Phantom around my house-ze. You're the mistress of Netherworld; can't you do something about it-ze?” add Marisa.

”It's the same for me.” Reimu slip in her complained.

”Yuyuko-sama!”

And then another one arrived.

It's Youmu.

”Yuyuko-sama, what are you doing in this kind of place?! Something bad had happened!”

”…Oi, what do you mean by 'this kind of place'?” Reimu irritated by Youmu's remark.

”More importantly, what happened, Youmu?” Yuyuko is curious.

”Oi! What do you mean by 'more importantly'?!” Reimu is furious.

”That person that we asked to mend the barrier is still asleep! What do we do?!” continued Youmu.

Reimu is ignored, poor Reimu.

”Hm, she always asleep in winter, I guess the spring hasn't go on for too long now for her to wake up. Then it can't be helped, I'll visit her later.” consider Yuyuko.

”Then the barrier mending gonna be postponed? Then I guess its fine.”

”””It's not fine!””” yelled the heroines.

”But there's another matter at hand, a mysterious person has been come and go from the Netherworld, she said that she's a familiar of Yuyuko-sama's friend.”

It's Ran (the EX stage 1st part final boss) and also, is their conversation staged? These two are ignoring the heroine words.

”Then why don't you cut her down to confirm her identity?” asked Yuyuko.

”Please don't joke around. If she's what she claimed to be, I can't be rude to Yuyuko-sama's friend servants.”

”Then I'll check it for you.” said Reimu.

”And I'll cut her down.” said Sakuya.

”As long as the Phantom infestation is gone-daze.” said Marisa.

”Well then, I'll leave it to all of you.” concluded Yuyuko.

[Extra Story Quest]

[Personally Participate and Win against the Boarder Manipulator]

Nope.

'There's no penalty in this quest. That means there's no need for me to participate.…Yeah, fuck that, fuck that quest, nah ah, are you kidding me?! I'm not gonna go fight Yukari.'

But then I noticed everyone is looking at me.

”Come on, Arah. It's time to redeem yourself-ze.” said Marisa.

”It should be faster if the four of us combine.” said Reimu.

”Can Arah-dono do it?” asked Youmu.

”There's nothing for me to add anymore.” said Sakuya.

Akyuu look worried, but Bara expression different from her, she look so confident of me that it's hurt.

And I'm sorry that I'm betraying everyone expectation.

”The name of the Yuyuko-san's friend is Yukari, and some of you know how Yukari goes, even if you win, she probably didn't even do what you asked her.” I blur out the name of the final boss of EX stage, the one that they're supposed to fight, and the result of what happened if they won the fight.

”…So it's her.” Reimu still look irritated.

”Yukari? You mean the gap youkai?” asked Sakuya for confirmation.

”Eeeh, seriously-ze?! Is what you're saying true, Arah-ze??”

”Yes, is that really true?” asked Yuyuko.

”…Yes.” I nodded. 'Yuyuko question. Even thought her question is the same as Marisa, the meaning behind it is totally different.' I thought.

”But that shouldn't mean we don't do anything about it, I'll still try to fight her myself.” said Reimu.

”If Reimu said so, then I'm with her-ze.”

”I still got my order from my mistress so.”

As expected from the heroine, they still resolute to did it, even though they heard what I said.

”Then I'm sorry to disappoint all of you. I really don't want to fight Yukari.” I said truthfully. ”But instead.”

I peel off one of tree bark using Telekinesis, and I search for its Cambium for me to peel, and then I make it into a bracelet, I make three of them for each of the girls.

I gather the bracelet into my hand, and then I start enchanting them.

[Enchant Durability] x 3.

[Health Regeneration] x 3.

[Stamina Regeneration] x 3.

[Mana Regeneration] x 3.

[Increase Surrounding Awareness] x 3.

[Increase Reaction Time] x 3.

…I feel so tired after enchanted all these three bracelets.

”Because of the material…last only one day… takes these…in place of me…and once again…I'm sorry.” I offered them the bracelets.

All three of them take their bracelet.

”I understand and thank you, Arah.” Reimu understand.

”I guess it was okay-ze.” said Marisa as she eyeing the bracelet. I don't really know what her 'okay' means, but I didn't curious enough to know further.

”…” Sakuya didn't say anything.

And we said good bye to them before they leave to the Netherworld.

”What a lively girl and they should be lively considering they're still alive.” said Yuyuko as she continued the food.

”Um, Saigyouji-sama, I'm sorry for not introducing myself from the beginning, my name is Hieda no Akyuu, the 9th child of Miare.” Akyuu introduced herself.

”Don't worry. I've noticed who you're from the beginning. I heard that your entire predecessor works hard for the Yama in the Afterlife.” said Yuyuko.

And they start their Q&A session.

As for me, I'm opted to rest to erase the fatigue from enchanting those bracelets.

In the end, I feel asleep until Bara wake me up to remind me that it's time to go back.

We send Akyuu back to her mansion before we go back to our home.

-Night, My House-​

[Quest Failed]

”They finally did it.”

I trust them so much that I didn't even imagined that they will lose to Yukari.

I sigh.

Bara rustled from her bed and then she turned her head toward me, she's awake.

”Ah, sorry, did I wake you up?” I gave her my apologetic smile.

”…” she didn't say anything and just look at me.

After staring each other for a while, she got out from her bed and got in to mine.

She hugged me.

”…Now this is embarrassing, a master shouldn't be consoled by his own servant.” I quipped.

She hugged me tighter.

”…”

I hug her back.

I don't know if this eased me a little bit or this raised my feeling of disappointment toward myself.

But I know one thing for sure is that, this day marked as the first failed quest ever since I arrived in Gensokyo.

Author note:

Heyo, Author here.

About the Yukari fight, it is too complicated for me to describe, that's why I didn't included it in the story, you probably thought that I'm just lazy to write it, and yes, you're right, I'm just being lazy to write it. So I'm sorry for all the reader that anticipated any action in this chapter, action twice in a row is impossible for me.

If you people want to see the Yukari fight, search the video of 'minusT' in Youtube, just type 'Human vs Yukari', all the scene in my story is inspired by his/her video. He's a God for creating all those Danmaku battles.

Also for the next chapter, it's gonna be the Side Story.
