Follow the Script

Chapter 7

Mokou: Alright alright, I get it, I'm sorry.

Sanae: Not to me, to him.

Y/N: I ain't forgiving you. If you went to my hideout, I can bet you that you would have left it with a wide smile. My life don't mean anything to you.

Koishi: You're talking about the bo-

The man placed his hand on her mouth and stopped her from revealing the goal of her murder attempt.

Sanae: I may not be the best person to say this but I hope you learn from your lesson and try to make up for him.

Y/N: ...

Sanae: Moving on, mister Y/N.

She slammed the purification rod of top of his head. He ignored her movement and blankly stared at the shrine behind her.

Sanae: First of all, do you even know where you are in the first place? This is Gensokyo, people like you are killed left and right like nothing, why did you thought that hiding underground where many youkais reside was a good idea?!

Y/N: ...How was I supposed to know? Do you happen to carry a newspaper saying "Don't go underground humans, bad monsters there"? Do you really think I would know that?

Sanae: You would have realized it after the first encounter, are you suicidal?!

Y/N: No, self-sacrificial, it isn't the same thing.

Sanae: ...

She slammed once more her weapon on top of his head.

Sanae: No talk about that, I don't want to hear any of it!

Y/N: Did you forget to take your breathings again? You need to calm down for a moment.

Koishi: I didn't know she had asthma.

Sanae: I don't have asthma!

Y/N: Wouldn't be surprised if you end up developing it with how much you talk.

Sanae: ...

Suwako: *Sigh* I don't think it'll get better if you continue Sanae.

Sanae: I can see that. Fine, Y/N, you stay here until we're done. We'll soon escort you back to the human village.

Y/N: I'll be fine on my own-

Sanae: Fine to get yourself killed, I saw that, no need to show it twice.

Koishi: Y/N is strong on his own, he did take out many youkais before coming here.

Sanae: ...Lady Suwako, what should we do?

Suwako: The fact remains that he is an outsider, we should still treat him as such.

Y/N: Before we go, I've heard that you guys can give blessings, how much is it?

Suwako: Woah, already asking for business? That's a first for an outsider. I don't even think you-

Y/N: Don't worry about money for now. So, can I have a private conversation between us?

Suwako: ...Follow me.

The both of them left the entrance of the shrine and stepped inside while the others were left where they were. The shrine maiden looked back at the youkais in front of her and mumbled something under her breath.

Mokou: Can I go now? I suppose you're done lecturing me.

Sanae: Sure, I hope you understand why I did so.

Mokou: Yea, it's my fault mostly anyway, I'll leave before he gets back.

She walked away and went down the mountain, abandoning the Tengu that tried to use her and the outsider for her own benefit. That was the reason she was sweating bullets, feeling the sharp gaze of one that could exterminate her if she puts her mind to it.
