50 Night Parade of One Hundred Oni Every Four Days Part 1 (2/2)
I offered my hand to help Keine stand up.
She took it and leave from my makeshift chair.
Now that there's no one in the chair-Bara plop down on the chair.
…
”I'm tired~” Bara whine.
”…” I sigh. ”Oh well.”
*pat-pat* someone patting my head.
”That's a good way of thinking, keep it that way and you will have a future without worries.”
”If I succeed in making them my friend that is, so, how will you find your friend in here?”
She smiles. ”Well, like this,” she breathed in. ”MOKOUUU-CHAAAAAAAN!!!” Keine yell.
A second passed.
”DON'T CALL ME BY THAT NAMEE!!” A girl voice rang back from the Bamboo Forest.
'Ho boy.' I thought.
After waiting for a while, I see a girl coming out of the Bamboo Forest.
As she keeps getting closer to us, I slowly could make out her detail.
She has red eyes and ankle-length pale blue (almost white) hair. Her hair's tied with red and white paper charms. She wears a light brown shirt that appears as if it's been discolored from fire, and dark red hakama that are randomly decorated with paper charms, and she walks while keeping her hands in her pocket.
”Oh, it's just you, Keine. I thought it was Kaguya taunting me to fight her again, even thought I already said it has become annoying after 300 something years. What's up?” greeted her.
I look at her status.
[Lv.?? Immortal Phoenix, Fujiwara no Mokou]
'Fujiwara no Mokou, one of the badass, my favorite character, and compelling character in Touhou, although, I don't really like her character theme.' I thought.
”Hello to you too, Mokou, as for your question, I really do want to say everything is fine, but in reality it's not. I used my ability.” Keine answered.
”'Used your ability?' …Ah, I see. So, what's with the kids around you?”
”Fufu, Let me introduce you. This is Arah-kun,” Keine introduce me.
”Hey.” I greet her by raising my hand.
”And Bara-chan.” she introduce Bara.
”Hello~” greeted Bara with a drool face. …is the chair really that good?
”Even though they're new in Gensokyo, they are good people. Thankfully they found me after I used my ability and then help escorting me to this place.”
”Hoo, that's pretty good.” Mokou look amazed. ”Good job, kid.”
[Impress the Immortal Phoenix]
[Reward: 20.000 AP & IP]
”I'm sorry but I'm not a kid.”
”Then how old are you?”
”…15.” I painfully admit.
”Still a kid to me, but thank you for your hard work, let me handle it from here.” She brings out her hands from her pocket.
”Eh? W-w-wait! M-mokou?! Wait a second!”
”Ei! Don't struggle!”
And there goes Keine getting princess carried by Mokou.
”See you guys next time.”
”B-be safe on the way back, okay?!”
With that final parting word, they disappeared into the Bamboo Forest.
”Well, that was pretty good for first impression.”
I look behind me and saw Bara sleeping on the chair.
”…Now I'm really curious as to how the chair actually feels.”
And with that word, I also start walking back home while telekinetically carrying extra budget.
-Evening, In front of my house-
”So, you want to go in and have some tea?”
”No need because my business in here will be over in a jiffy.”
”'Over in a jiffy' is it? …May I know what kind of business you have in here?”
”Testing.”
”…Hm?” I titled my head.
”I want to test your ability to stay alive.”
…
…My eyes…they're twitching.
I JUST arrived to my house, I JUST finish putting Bara in the bedroom, I JUST start trying to feel relaxed, but the universe said ”you know what, let's throw him Yukari so he'll start panicking again”.
…So yeah, Yukari visited me and ordered me to go outside.
She smiles.
”So do try to convince me that you won't make her run amok in Gensokyo because she didn't satisfy with your performance.”
”What do you mean by 'satisfy with my performance'? Who is 'She'?”
”I'll tell you if I satisfied with your result but do try your very best, because if you don't, I'll be the one that will kill you instead.” She still keeps her smile as she said those words.
”…Then there's no choice to do my very best then.” I said as my determination to win start flaring ever since I step into this fantasy land.
'If I went by the game logic, is this my 1st stage fight in my story line? Already fighting Yukari in the 1st stage? What kind of nonsense is this?! I CALL HAX!!' I complained in my mind.
Author Note:
Heyo, Author here! Work has been very hard to me! Update schedule gonna go haywire from now on! Good bye! Good day!
About rivalry between Mokou and Kaguya, the wiki said that Mokou actually already given up killing Kaguya after 300 year while Kaguya keep fishing for Mokou to fight her. So yeah, fan work actually deluded me from the canon version until now
