47 New Beginning in the Land of Modern East: Part B (2/2)

I turned around, seeing the frozen figure of a silver haired maid.

I snapped my fingers.

Her clothes fell off, revealing the wondrous jet black undergarments.

”””””OOOOOH!!””””” All the males in the audience shouted in awe and excitement, while the females… you know… ”””””””KYAAAAAAAAA!!””””””” they screamed.

”Nice underwear!!” I said with a thumbs up before I ran away from the scene.

With the speed enchantment, I ran even faster than before.

Stairs after stairs I found and descended.

Security guard after security guard I dodged and passed.

[Lv.7 Robotic Genius, Alice Margatroid]

DON'T MAKE EYE CONTACT, JUST FUCKING RUN!

I finally exited the building.

I observed my surroundings and saw someone in the distance, giving orders to a group of students on a field.

[Lv.19 Crimson Dragon, Hong Meiling]

She wore a green tracksuit and carried a clipboard.

I ignored her and went straight to the school gate.

I jumped over it.

As I was in the air, I saw it. I finally saw the solid proof of where I was right now.

I landed on the paved ground and continued my run.

Keep running.

Keep running.

Faster.

Faster.

Don't stop.

Don't stop.

Don't stop.

I stopped.

…I arrived.

I saw a very big body of water.

It was very blue.

…It's the Sea.

I sat down roughly on the dock and continued staring at the sea.

I did have some suspicion that this was some kind of alternate universe Touhou, but I never thought that the place had changed into an island, or that Gensokyo had maybe turned into some kind of seaside town, I don't know.

In the first place, Gensokyo is located in a mountainous area, so it's impossible for them to have a sea. If we also added the new information regarding all the girls, then my suspicion was true.

After I concluded my thoughts, my head just went blank.

A few moments passed, and my mouth finally started moving on its own.

”…Where exactly is this place?” I said absentmindedly.

”We're obviously on Gensokyo Island, son!”

A voice suddenly replied to my question, I looked at the source.

[Lv.9 Fisherman]

I saw an old man looking at me while carrying a box. He wore a grey head cloth, a white t-shirt and baggy pants.

”You okay there? You suddenly fell down and kept staring at the sea for an hour.”

”…I…Um, sorry, my head just went blank this entire time.” I said while scratching the back of my head.

”Then you better check yourself at Eirin-san's clinic just to be safe. Seriously, I think she's way better than all the doctors on the mainland. Just ask around where she lives, I'm sure the people around here will give you directions.”

”T-Thank you for the advice!” I said while lightly bowing my head in gratitude.

”No problem, I'm just an old man looking out for the young'uns.” he smiled and left me on the dock.

I kept my eyes on him until he disappeared into a house.

”…Eirin-san, is it? I guess everyone's still in Gensokyo in some ways.”

I looked at my status.

[Lv.102 Omni-Wizard, Arah]

”…So chuuni, no matter how many time I read my title, it sounds so chuuni.”

I blinked.

”Oh yeah, the System.”

'System!'

[Yes, User?]

'Great, you're answering, what just happened to me?'

[Currently User ”Arah” has been given special mission.]

'Special Mission?'

[Displaying Mission]

[Tragic End Canceller]

[Cancel the Tragic End that Fate has decided for certain Alternate Touhou Cast: 0/??]

'…The question mark aside, what do you mean by Tragic End? Do you mean they will die a tragic death?'

The System didn't answer.

I groaned.

One of the things that I learned after all this time about the System is that, once the System didn't answer your question, then the system will never answer that question.

'People can call me a pervert, people can call me a lolicon, but I won't stay idle when a girl is about to die. Unless that girl is a total bitch and won't redeem herself from her mistakes, then I will let her die.'

I started standing up. I pat my pants to remove any dirt that got stuck on while I sat.

'But where exactly do I start? Encountering an event is all about luck, which is already covered by one of my highest tier skills, Perfect Timing. So that means 'Luck' is already covered, and all I need now is a Home Base and Information.'

I looked around the area.

House, house, house, beach, beach, mountain, school, trees, forest, tree, ….very big tree.

”…Guess that's the first thing I should investigate.”

I started walking in its direction.

I observed everything along the way.

From people to technology.

It seems like I was still in the 20th century, which I was grateful for. I didn't know if I would want to follow the future or past's sense of clothing. Right now, I was wearing my Black Jacket + T-shirt and Black Jeans, and I had also stopped my age progression at 20.

As I was having those and other idle thoughts, I finally arrived at my destination.

It was an old style Japanese building with a very big tree near it.

I read the sign on the building's entrance.

Hakugyokurou Inn.

”… So her building turned into an Inn. Good to know.”

I walked inside the apartment perimeter.

I kept walking until I was in front of the very big tree.

'IF this is Yuyuko's place, then this is obviously Saigyou Ayakashi, but for some reason I can't see its status. Is it just a very big tree in this universe? But I can sense something in the tree. I might need to check inside it for safety, but that's-'

I sensed something slowly heading toward me.

I turned my head to see it.

[Lv.19 the Cursed Woman, Saigyouji Yuyuko]

I saw a woman heading toward me. She wore a brown-colored Yukata, but she wore it loosely, revealing her shoulder and her cleavage to the world… And she also carried a frying pan behind her, which she failed to successfully hide because it was bigger than her upper body.

”…” my shoulders dropped seeing her antics.

She walked to me while smiling.

She arrived beside me, and, having trouble moving the pan, she awkwardly positioned herself and finally swung her weapon.

”Ei!”

*Pang* it successfully hit my face.

”I got you.” she said with a happy voice.

”Yes, you got me.” I said in monotone with my face still covered by the pan.

”Ara, he's letting me hit him.”

She lifted the pan from my face. I could see her face. She was doing her usual ”smile while closing your eyes”.

”You know, if you were even slightly wrong at guessing my personality, you might have gotten yourself hurt, Yuyuko-san.” I honestly said to her.

”Ara-ara, he even knows my name.” she covered her mouth with her sleeve.

”Did Yukari-san warn you about me?” I asked while grabbing the pan from her hand.

”Ara-ara-ara, he even knows about Yukari.” she started correcting her Yukata.

”Did you start getting hungry while waiting for Youmu-san to come home and thus you were preemptively holding the pan so that she could immediately cook for you?” I said while looking at the pan. It was a very well-used utensil.

”Ara- ara- ara- ara.” she was probably furiously trying to guess who I was.

”Want me to cook lunch for you?” I looked back at her.

”…” she didn't say anything but she was still smiling.

”I'm a certified 5 star chef and I'll use my own ingredients to cook us a meal…and you can order anything you want.” I offered her.

”Please follow me, the kitchen is this way.” she immediately took it and started guiding me to her kitchen.

”Sorry for the intrusion.” I excused myself.

-A few hours later-​

I heard lots of hurried footsteps heading toward me while I was cooking.

I looked behind me.

I saw a lot of pissed off women.

Frowning Yukari, fierce-looking Ran and a katana-wielding Youmu.

[Lv.28 Fox Youkai, Yakumo Ran]

[Lv.13 Green Swordswoman, Konpaku Youmu]

”Well, well, isn't this lot of people in the dining room? Oh I'm sorry, did one of you get offended when I say 'People'? Should I say 'Species' instead for ease of mind?” I smirked.

Ran twitched.

”Who are you?” Yukari asked.

With her question, I started laughing evilly in my mind.

'This is gonna be fun.'

Reaction Theater:

Nothing worth mentioning.
