51 Night Parade of One Hundred Oni Every Four Days Part 2 (2/2)
I could see two 'eyes' shining brightly far away inside the Gap.
*Teng**Teng**Teng**Teng**Teng*
I hear Sirens noise in my ears.
I look at the source of the noise.
There were Railway Barriers between me, and they are going off ringing and already putting their barrier down. An indication that a Train will be passing soon and the non-existence vehicle should stop from passing the non-existence road.
I see.
That mean this is that thing.
Yukari's iconic attack, maybe not iconic for other people but for me, this attack is what comes to mind when I think about Yukari.
Abandoned Line ”Aimless Journey to the Abandoned Station”
'Crashing enemy with a mother fucking train' attack.
I look at the iron beast that's coming toward me.
Some of the Train Glasses are broken, there's no Conductor inside the Train, there are part that are dented at the front side of the Train, normally a Train can't run when those criteria are present, but there it is, it's running inside the Abyss.
I figured that its boundary between moving and not moving has been altered.
It will keep moving forever until the end of time.
And I'm supposed to endure that thing.
”Are you secretly a Masochist, Arah boy? It's really unusual that I saw anyone with your expression when they're about to be run over by a train.” said Yukari while standing behind the Railway Barrier.
I'm confused with what she's saying, but then I realized it too after I touch my own face.
I'm smiling.
”Huh, I don't know either, maybe I'm indeed a Masochist.”
I lied, I'm actually really happy, as a Touhou Fan I'll feel my favorite attack personally with this body, wait, if I said that way, maybe I really am a Masochist.
”No matter, survive this and you're passes. I expect positive result from this.” she said.
I raised my eyebrow.
'…Is that 'expectation' that I'm hearing? Oh no, my biggest weakness, 'Expectation from other people', usually that didn't go well with me.' I thought.
*WOOOOOOONNNGGGGGGG*
The Train once again blare its loud horn.
'Stopping it is impossible, but I could redirect it path. Do I have the ability do it? Doubtful after what I've been through.'
I take out Vitality and Mentality Booster Pill from my pouch and ate it.
'When in doubt, always take drug. Don't do this at home, kids!!'
”COME ON!” I shouted.
And the Train comes.
'TAI-CHI MOTHER FUCKER!!' I scream inwardly.
Just like when Flandre charging toward me, I redirect it charge by making it taking a leap over my head. But also, unlike Flandre, it's a Train. it has a really long body.
”Guh, h-heavy…” I endure the weight as it passing over my head.
…
”!!”
This is bad! It's trying to fix its original position! Now it's pushing me really hard into the ground!
”UOOOOOOO!!” I'm giving my all.
By the end of it, I lying face down into the earth.
”Uuuugghh…” I groan tiredly. 'I think I'm the first Human that stood in front of a Train that has other intention beside suicide.' I thought.
”I guess that was a good enough result. Keep it that way and we won't have any problem.”
I move my head to look at Yukari.
”Now, as I promise, I'll tell the clue to you. Her old name is Shuten Douji, now you should know the rest if you do your research. That's all. Sleep well, Arah boy.” She bid her farewell while smiling before disappearing into her Gap.
….
….Huh?
Shuten Douji?
Huh??
'Her old name is Shuten Douji'? Who have an old name of that Sake Demon?
…
…Sake Demon…Someone who really likes drinking Sake…Sake…Drinking Sake sometimes associated with Sake Gourd…Sake Gourd…A character that have a Sake Gourd… Ibuki Suika.
…
In the History, Shuten Douji was killed by the original owner of Doujigiri Yasutsuna, the sword that I possess right now.
…
Waitwaitwaitwaitwait, it must be a coincident, how about another one of the Douji?
Ibaraki Douji.
…Ibaraki…Ibaraki Kasen…Both of them got their arm chopped off/missing…in the History, she also got killed by the original owner of Doujigiri Yasutsuna.
...
…Am I actually dooming myself from the start when I got the Sword?
…
Days passed and finally, the Feast Day arrived.
Author Note:
Ugh, just tell me what you guys think about the chapter. I roll my head upside down to come up with the wording. I also listening to Yukari's TH 15.5 themes when I'm writing this chapter.
About Suika being Shuten Douji, in wiki, it said that Suika name origin is from Mt. Suika, the name of the mountain where Shuten Douji lived in/comes from. I also just noticed this stuff when I'm researching for story material.
