At the Hakurei Shrine
Katsuragi Pov
Mornings are peaceful mornings where the birds are singing and the flowers are blooming, and the early morning sunshine can nourish one's body, but not for me right now....in trouble
Katsuragi: "...Dammit"
A blonde haired girl with her hair down and her messy looking white Yukata was fast asleep on top of me, and this girl was none other than Marisa.
Katsuragi: "...Maybe I should start locking the door from now on"
After dinner last night it suddenly rained heavily which prevented Marisa from going home, and because of that Reimu told Marisa to stay at the Hakurei shrine and of course Marisa accepted it happily, but yes as I see now she entered the wrong room , and my guess is the same as when Reimu accidentally entered my room one day ago
Katsuragi: "Why is something like this happening to me again? come on I'm not the protagonist of an anime or romantic comedy novel"
I slowly pushed Marisa to my side, but instead of moving away Marisa hugged me while laying her head on my chest like a pillow
Marisa: "Hehe....warm mushroom...zzz"
Katsuragi: "....Okay I'm starting to hate this"
And I decided to wake her up, even though there was a chance Marisa might slap me or scream at me
Katsuragi: "Marisa, it's already morning so please wake up"
I called her name while shaking her body and yes it worked, she started to wake up from her sleep
Marisa: "Um..."
Marisa then woke up completely and looked at my face, we were both silent and I was getting ready to hear her screams and a slap in my face
...
Marisa: "Em...Katsuragi? Why are you on my futon-ze?"
Katsuragi: "Eh?"
Hearing that I was silent, I thought Marisa would scream feminine and immediately slap me but now she looks very relaxed as if nothing happened
Katsuragi: "Marisa...you were in my room, and now you're sleeping on top of me"
Marisa then looked around and after a while she looked back at me
...
Marisa: "...Pfttt hahaha"
And suddenly she laughed which instantly confused me
Katsuragi: "Marisa? Why...are you laughing?"
Marisa: "Hahaha sorry sorry it's just that I didn't think I could be this careless to enter someone else's room by mistake-ze"
And then Marisa got off of me and got off my bed while stretching herself, she then looked at me and smiled
Marisa: "Hehe, I'm sorry I accidentally entered your room and slept on top of you-ze, that must have made you uncomfortable"
Katsuragi: "Yeah...it's fine"
I'm still at a loss to answer this girl because of her unexpected reaction
Marisa: "I need to go to the toilet now, I'll go Katsuragi first"
Katsuragi: "Oh sure"
Marisa came out of my room, while I'm still confused about all of this, I mean every girl would be embarrassed if she accidentally slept with a guy, right?
Katsuragi: "Yeah... maybe it's because Marisa is a tomboy so she doesn't think like that, well at least I don't get slapped in the face"
Marisa Pov
Marisa: "WHY COULD I BE SO CAREFUL!!??"
I covered my face which was now as red as a tomato, I didn't expect that I would be so careless that I slept together with Katsuragi
Marisa: "This is so embarrassing, why did I enter the wrong room?..."
I remember that in the middle of the night I went to the bathroom to pee, but I was so sleepy that I entered the wrong room I thought was mine and ended up with me going into Katsuragi's room and sleeping with him, and of course..this... embarrassing
Marisa: "Ahhhh...I'm really stupid-ze, too...I slept on top of his body...but...it's pretty comfortable"
....
Marisa: "WHAT WAS I THINK STUPID!!??"
Once again my face turned red and started to heat up because in my life I have never slept with any man, even including someone I know, namely Kourin, and this...is my first experience.
Marisa: "..I-I didn't do anything weird with him did I..."
...
...
Marisa: "De-definitely not, Katsuragi is a good guy-ze, he definitely won't do weird things to my body while I'm sleeping"
And also he was already married and of course he would not be interested in anyone except his own late wife
Marisa: "That's enough Marisa, stop blushing, it was just a misunderstanding and also Katsuragi didn't think about it-"
???: "Marissa?"
Marissa: "AH!"
I jumped in surprise because the sound of someone calling me, I slowly turned around and it was Reimu who was still wearing her sleeping yukata
Marisa: "Ah Re-Reimu, se-good morning"
Reimu: "It's morning too, so why are you here? I thought you were still asleep in your room?"
I panicked because of Reimu's question, I can't say that I slept in the same bed with Katsuragi all night which would be very embarrassing for me if Reimu found out
Marisa: "Ah haha yeah I need to pee so I wake up early-ze"
I hope Reimu doesn't realize my lies, even though she's lazy but her instincts can't be taken lightly
Reimu: "...Okay at least you didn't pee on my futon"
"SRAKKKK"
And right after that a door opened beside us which Katsuragi came out of his room
Reimu: "Oh good morning Katsuragi, did you sleep well?"
Katsuragi: "Yeah that's comfortable, last night's rain made the air cool and I can sleep comfortably because of that"
Then Katsuragi looked at me and...winked one eye at me, I breathed a sigh of relief, I'm glad Katsuragi didn't tell Reimu what happened just now, he probably didn't want Reimu to have a misunderstanding of me
Reimu: "Good to hear that, now I better make breakfast, want to help me Katsuragi?"
Katsuragi: "Sure, don't underestimate my homemade Omurice"
Reimu: *Chuckles* "Hehe yes yes I understand"
I was silent watching this because as long as I was with Reimu I had never seen Reimu this open to other people, she was even still a little rude to me, and now she even smiles and laughs at someone, I as her best friend are happy because at least she finds someone she can trust.
Reimu : "Yeah we better cook now"
Reimu then walked towards the kitchen with me and Katsuragi following behind, and then I held Katsuragi's sleeve because I had something to say
Katsuragi: "Marisa?"
Marisa: "That...thanks for hiding it-ze"
I tried not to make my face red again because of what happened earlier
Katsuragi: "Hehe of course, I don't want to cause trouble for you after all"
Marisa: *Smiles* "Glad to hear that"
Yes this guy is good, I still don't think he wanted to kill himself but it seems I have to thank Yukari for giving him another chance to live
Timeskip
In the living room
Katsuragi Pov
Marisa, Reimu: "Hmmm delicious~"
The two girls seemed to enjoy the Omurice I made for them, and of course this made me proud, who doesn't like having their cooking appreciated?
Reimu: "Hmmm this is really good, even better than yesterday"
Katsuragi: "Yeah because I added a few more ingredients after we bought the ingredients yesterday, so I can make it even tastier"
Marisa :"Seriously you are really good at cooking-ze, even your cooking last night was really good, Reimu must be very lucky she has you in her shrine"
Reimu: "Y-yes..I guess.."
I saw that Reimu's face was slightly red, but I ignored it and continued to eat my Omurice
Katsuragi: "Oh yeah about what Yukari said yesterday, what is danmaku and spell cards?"
Then I saw Reimu put down her spoon and clear her throat, this seems to be a long explanation
Reimu: "Firstly as you know Gensokyo is a place where yokai, humans, gods and other supernatural beings live, but the number of humans here is less than the number of yokai in Gensokyo and therefore they can be attacked at any time by yokai"
Katsuragi: "I see..."
And that must be the reason why the human village was walled up and heavily guarded by bodyguards
Reimu: "But of course it's useless because yokai themselves are powerful creatures, and because of that I made up my danmaku rules and spellcards"
Reimu stretched out her hand and an ofuda appeared in her hand which surprised me a bit
Reimu: "The danmaku and spellcard rules are rules where one will fight without having to kill, also has the goal that humans can fight Yokai in equal strength and yokai will not use their abilities as they please against humans to kill them"
Katsuragi: "Wait...killing is not allowed?"
Reimu: "Yeah...not really, but rather than killing each other it's better to fight fairly, right? After all, if I don't make this rule the Yokai will do as they please and will kill humans and eat them without limit"
Yes, I just nodded in understanding, although I'm still a little confused by this rule
Reimu: "In this rule humans or yokai will fight using Danmaku or Spellcards, to defeat your opponent you only need to destroy the enemy's spell cards or immobilize your enemy with your danmaku array, danmaku cannot kill but causes a little more pain heavy"
Marisa: "And also the most important beauty-ze, if you can amaze your opponent with my danmaku he will be stunned and boom he will be hit by your danmaku"
Reimu: "Don't think too much about what Marisa said, so like I said earlier in Gensokyo you have to obey the Spellcard rules and not kill as you please, but I'm sure you won't do that right?"
Katsuragi: "Yeah...you're right, after all I couldn't kill myself even the first time I was attacked"
Reimu: "Oh I didn't know that"
Katsuragi: "Ah...well I guess I'll just tell you guys"
I then told them about the time I fought Medicine in the forest, and their reactions were surprised but calm again
Marisa: "Wow... I didn't expect you to be free from Medicine attacks, she's a pretty strong yokai you know?"
Katsuragi: "Yeah maybe it was just my luck, but still I suffered that time"
Reimu: "Actually if you did kill Medicine at that time you would not be guilty, but if her killed you she is also innocent"
Katsuragi: "Huh? I don't quite understand"
Reimu: "The Spellcard rules don't apply to outsiders, maybe I should tell you that Yukari occasionally brings outsiders to Gensokyo and the reason she brings them is as food for the yokai"
...
Katsuragi: "F-food?"
I was a bit surprised by what I heard, the humans brought by that damn woman will only end up becoming meat for the yokai
Reimu: "Yeah, besides needing the fear of humans to stay alive, some of them still have the lust to eat human flesh, and because humans in the human village are precious, Yukari brought some outsiders to Gensokyo and allowed them to be eaten by the yokai, and if lucky they were able to escape and live in the human village although most of them prefer to go home through me"
...
...
Katsuragi: "That's... quite surprising"
It's like a game where a sheep is being chased by a pack of hungry wolves in the middle of a dense forest
Reimu: "Yes, I know it will be very sad for you but it can't be helped, Gensokyo is the place where yokai and gods live and humans are only residents for the sake of the survival of yokai and gods"
Katsuragi: "I see, thanks for explaining"
Reimu: "It doesn't matter, after all we will train you to use danmaku, and after that spellcard"
I then nodded and went back to eating, I still felt sorry for the outsiders who were stranded in Gensokyo just to be food for the yokai, but I couldn't do anything because it was for the good of Gensokyo
Timeskip
In the Shrine Grounds
After we had breakfast, I was immediately taught by the incident reslover in using danmaku, and before that I was taught to fly by the two of them and to be honest it was quite easy because I managed to master it in no time.
Marisa: "Em...Katsuragi, can you only use danmaku in that form?"
Katsuragi: "Don't ask me, I don't understand either"
After several tries I managed to use my Danmaku, however...it was the size of a black bullet, and only one was in my forefinger
Marisa: "To be honest if you can only cast one danmaku you will only be easily kicked by your enemy-ze"
Katsuragi: "Yeah yeah I know, and I'm trying okay"
I tried imagining danmaku in my hands like what Reimu and Marisa had said, but it was still in vain
Katsuragi: "Hah...seems like there really is only one"
Marisa: "Yeah...it's quite unique, it's the first time I've seen someone who can only cast one danmaku"
Reimu: "My guess is maybe it's because he's still adapting to Yukari's powers so yeah that's normal I guess"
Marisa: "Hey Reimu, you better help me than just sitting on the balcony drinking tea"
Reimu: "I trained him to fly earlier so that's fair, and Katsuragi tries to fire that danmaku at Marisa"
Katsuragi: "Wait what? You want me to shoot her?"
Reimu: "Yeah it's just training, after all as I said earlier danmaku can't kill, it only gives pain"
Marisa: "Are you afraid of hurting me-ze? haha don't worry after all I'm really good at dodging danmaku"
Katsuragi: "O-okay"
I slowly positioned myself towards Marisa and pointed my hand at Marisa, to be honest pointing my hand at a girl makes me look like a criminal
Katsuragi: "Er...is this alright?"
Marisa: "Come on don't be scared-ze, just shoot and I'll dodge it"
Katsuragi: "A-alright"
...
...
"SRATTT"
"KLAKKK"
Katsuragi: "Eh?"
Reimu: "Eh?"
"BRUKK"
...
...
Katsuragi: "I KILLED HER!!??"
Marisa was lying on the ground after I shot her with my danmaku, and I didn't expect one danmaku to fly so fast and landed on her head.
Katsuragi: "Re-Reimu, I-I didn't kill her did I?"
Reimu: "Yeah...I-I don't think so, but honestly...it must hurt a lot"
Yes from the sound and speed it will definitely hurt a lot
Katsuragi: "Ma-Marisa...you...are alive right?"
...
"SRAKKK"
Marisa suddenly got up from the ground which made me breathe a sigh of relief, I'm relieved that she hasn't died because of my danmaku
Katsuragi: "Thank goodness you're not dead-"
Marisa: "Sob"
Katsuragi: "Eh?"
Marisa: *Crying* "Sob...how dare...you...sob...to embarrass me..."
I saw Marisa crying while holding her forehead which was red from my danmaku, and she looked at me with angry eyes
Katsuragi: "M-Marisa I-I'm sorry-"
Marisa: "NO SORRY!!"
Marisa quickly grabbed her hat and took something out of it, and when she took it out it was a hexagonal box which is the first time I've seen it.
Marisa: "I was really humiliated...sob...lost because of a small danmaku...sob..."
Katsuragi: "O-okay it was my fault and I'm sorry ok, I didn't mean to hurt you I swear"
But Marisa didn't listen to me and pointed the box at me, and I started to panic when I saw that the box was giving off light
Katsuragi: "He-hey Reimu, please-help me"
Reimu: "Sorry but I don't want to get hit by the Master Spark so yeah...good luck, oh yeah don't break my shrine or I'll beat you both up"
Marisa's box shines even more and I start to back away, I try to run but behind me only a dense tree will only hold me down
Marisa: "Don't worry Katsuragi...the pain is the same as the danmaku you fired at me so just accept it"
Katsuragi: "Ma-Marisa better stop it okay, we're friends right?"
...
....
Marisa: <LOVE SIGNS:MASTER SPARK!!!!>
"NGENGGGGGGGGG"
A ray of colorful light in a large shape shot towards me at such a fast speed that I was unable to avoid it, I shielded myself with my hands and covered my eyes, hoping I wasn't seriously injured.
Katsuragi: "Hope this isn't painful"
...
...
Marisa: "W-what...."
Katsuragi: "Huh?"
I was surprised to hear Marisa who looked surprised and when I opened my eyes I was surprised because in front of me stood a big gap
Katsuragi: W-wait, Gap? w-was this Yukari's doing?
Reimu: "It wasn't your doing, you made it"
Katsuragi: "Wait for me?"
Reimu: "Yeah, I saw it myself when you protected yourself with your arms a gap appeared right in front of you and swallowed up all of Marisa's Master Spark"
Katsuragi: "B-But I don't intend to do that"
Reimu: "Yeah...I don't know, but I'm sure it's yours, and also your gap is different from Yukari's"
After Reimu said that I saw the gap and yes it's different, Yukari's has a lot of eyes in it but this one is just black with nothing in it
Katsuragi: "I didn't think I could use this gap"
And then the gap disappeared, maybe I still can't control it for too long
Reimu: "You have Yukari's powers so it makes sense that you can use gaps, ah also Marisa still seems surprised by this fact"
I saw Marisa sitting there with her face looking at the ground
Marisa: "T-there's no way my Ma-Master Spark was swallowed up that easily.."
I then decided to get closer to Marisa, trying to apologize to her one more time
Katsuragi: "Ma-Marisa, I-I'm sorry okay, I didn't mean to hurt you earlier"
Marisa: "...Could you look down for a moment?"
Katsuragi: "Yeah?"
I looked down just like Marisa and
"THUNK"
"BRUKKK"
My head was hit by her
Katsuragi: "Ah...it hurts..."
I lay on the ground and held my forehead which was red from the punch, for a girl the punch was really strong
Marisa: "That is fair-ze, I'm still hurt because your danmaku is stupid"
Katsuragi: "...Yeah I'm stupid, and I'm sorry, don't hate me okay"
...
...
Marisa, Katsuragi: *laughs* "HAHAHAHA"
And we both laughed together, somehow this is very funny
Reimu: "Yeah thank goodness you guys made up, I don't want this shrine to be your battleground"
Marisa: "We're not going that far-ze, besides if your shrine is damaged you can get Katsuragi to repair it again"
Katsuragi: "I'm not a labourer, I'm a doctor"
Marisa: "And you're an all-around doctor"
Marisa then stretched out her hand to me, I took it and tried to stand up with her help
Katsuragi: "Ah...my head still hurts, but yeah it's fair"
Marisa: "To be honest I'm still annoyed with you, but I forgive you this time"
Katsuragi: "Hehe thanks Marisa"
I patted her head and stroked her to calm her down, and at a glance I saw her face turn red, maybe she's not used to being treated like this
Reimu: "Ehem...Katsuragi didn't you forget something?"
Katsuragi: "Forgot what?"
..
...
Katsuragi: "AH KEINE-SAN!"
I forgot that today I promised to meet Keine because she wanted to meet someone
Katsuragi: "I better go now, sorry again Marisa I hurt you earlier, I'll make you a nice meal tonight, I'll be going first"
I immediately flew to the human village to meet up with Keine, I hope she's not mad at me for being late
Third Pov
Reimu: "So Marisa, how was it?"
Marisa: ".....*Blush* Embarrassing..."
Marisa's face turned red from the effects of Katsuragi's head pat, she never felt this again and because Katsuragi did it suddenly she couldn't help but blush
Reimu: "Katsuragi is like that, maybe because he's older than us so he treats us like children, but he's a good person"
Marisa: "I know...I feel guilty for hitting him earlier"
Reimu: "He doesn't mind so don't think about it anymore, now come inside, you better treat your forehead first
Marisa: "Yes, I know, and also....where did My Master Spark go?"
On the Misty Lake
???: "Hahaha look Daiyousei, these frogs froze because of my power"
Daiyousei: *Applause* "You are great Cirno-chan-"
"NGENGGGGGGG"
...
...
Daiyousei: "CIRNO-CHAN!!!"
In the Human Village
Katsuragi Pov
Katsuragi: "Hopefully Keine-san won't be waiting for me long"
After a while I was suddenly in a human village, the guards at first thought I was a yokai because I could fly but I explained to them that Reimu and Marisa taught me to fly and finally they let me in, I walked quickly towards Keine's school, but didn't forget either greeted the villagers who greeted me, and after a while I arrived at Keine's school, however... it looked deserted
Katsuragi: "Maybe they are studying"
I then walked to the door and knocked on it, hoping Keine was inside
Katsuragi: "Excuse me"
And after a while steps were heard from inside and the door opened, revealing Keine who greeted me with a smile
Keine: Oh Katsuragi-san, you must have come yesterday right?
Katsuragi :"Yes Keine-san, sorry if I kept you waiting"
Keine: *Chuckles* "Hehe no problem, besides actually I'm busy right now, please come in"
I then went inside and saw Keine's school which was quite good, even though it was made of wood but it was very beautiful
Katsuragi: "So Keine-san what are you doing?"
Keine:"Checking the students' assignments, they have a day off today so I have time to check it"
Katsuragi: "Ah that explains why it's so quiet right now"
And after a while we arrived at Keine's study where there were a lot of papers on her desk
Keine: "Sorry if it's a little messy"
Katsuragi: "It's fine, I can understand that since you're a teacher"
Even my desk at the hospital was messier than Keine's
Katsuragi: "Hm...oh math"
I took a sheet of student work and it was a basic math problem namely addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, yes this is suitable for those who are too young
Keine: "Oh you can do math?"
Katsuragi: "Yeah...it's basic math and anyone can do it"
And also I'm a doctor where mathematics is needed in medical science
Keine: *Embarrassed* "Yeah you're right...but maybe that's not enough for me, I'm a history teacher which focuses more on history and to be honest I'm not good at math, even I still use an abacus to check their work"
Katsuragi: "You don't need to think about it Keine-san, everyone has their own weaknesses, but they still have their own strengths like you who focus on history"
I looked back at the students' assignments which weren't that difficult actually, so I thought I better help Keine now
Katsuragi: "If you don't mind can I help you check students' assignments Keine-san? Also it can speed up our time"
Keine: "Really? hehe yes of course I'd love you to help me"
And then both of us started checking students' answers, Keine would ask me occasionally and I would be happy to help him, and yes this really reminded me of the first time I taught interns at the hospital, and it brought a pleasant sense of nostalgia.
Katsuragi: "Oh yeah Keine-san, I was just wondering...are there yokai also attending school here?"
Keine: "There is, but it's only 2 fairies"
Katsuragi: "Fairy? You mean winged little thing?"
Keine: *Chuckles* "Hehe yeah but they're not small, they're about the size of other kids, I let them both go to school because they don't harm the residents"
Keine then began to tell the two fairies who attended school here
Keine: "The first is Daiyousei, she is a kind and friendly fairy, although she can be a little naughty but she is not annoying, and the second is the most troublesome, her name is Cirno and she is an ice fairy"
Katsuragi: "Ice fairy?"
Just then I got the answer sheet with Cirno's name on it and when I saw the answer...I grabbed my head
Katsuragi: "Seriously, is this fairy really that stupid? She answered all questions with a 9"
Keine: "Yes, Cirno is an Ice Fairy, and what's annoying about her is that she often claims to be the strongest in Gensokyo, she even challenged Marisa but Marisa beat her easily"
Katsuragi: "Don't tell Marisa used her Master Spark on her"
Keine: "Yeah she uses it"
Okay this fairy is stupid
Keine: "And sometimes she makes a mess in class, she even almost froze the whole class and luckily I managed to stop her"
Katsuragi: "How did you stop it?"
Keine: "I gave her a Headbutt"
...
...
Katsuragi: "Yeah...I guess I don't want to get that from you"
Keine: *Chuckles* "Hehe don't worry, if you don't become a brat you won't get it~"
Katsuragi: "Hey I'm not a child you know"
...
...
Katsuragi, Keine: *Laughs* "Pfft hahaha"
And we both laughed, this talk really made me happy
Keine: *Chuckles* "Hehe you can take a joke too, Katsuragi"
Katsuragi: *Chuckles* "Haha come on I'm not that cold okay"
Keine : "Yeah I know, I can see it in your eyes"
Keine then put down her paper and sat down relaxed on her chair
Keine: "To be honest...I don't talk like this to humans other than Mokou"
Katsuragi "Mokou...wait humans?"
Keine: "Oh yeah I forgot to mention, I'm half yokai, more precisely semi-hakutaku"
...
...
Katsuragi: "Okay...you won't eat me right?"
Keine: *Chuckles* "Hehe I don't eat humans and also I thought you would freak out knowing I'm a yokai but you look normal"
Katsuragi: "Yeah...because you're this friendly I still can't believe you're a yokai, but yeah I'm glad you're not a man-eating yokai"
Keine: "Glad to hear that, but not everyone knows I'm a yokai, I'm still keeping this a secret from the residents because I'm afraid they'll stay away from me, even though I'm sure they won't."
Keine started to stand up and looked at the window leading to the village
Keine: "I love humans, they all have interesting traits and emotions, I love seeing the smiles of the children when they see me, and also the friendliness of the villagers towards me, and because of that I always protect this village and the villagers from all harm, I don't want their smile and happiness to disappear"
Katsuragi: "Your goal is very laudable Keine-san"
I then got up and stood beside her looking out the window
Katsuragi: "In the outside world I work as a doctor, treating patients from illnesses that make them suffer and trying to save their lives"
Keine: "You must be a great person huh"
Katsuragi: "Yeah, that's how it is, indeed I get a lot of money for my work but the thing that makes me happiest is their smiles, their laughter when they joke with me and their gratitude for me helping them, that's all enough to make me happy and I'm proud to be able to useful to others"
I then looked at Keine and smiled at her
Katsuragi: "We both have the same goal Keine-san, won't let the smile of someone precious to us fade away"
Keine: *smiles* "Yes you're right...oh yeah we should go there now, that girl must be waiting for you"
Katsuragi: "Of course Keine-san"
And then we went to a place where Keine wanted to meet someone, to be honest I enjoyed chatting with Keine, she's a lovely person
Timeskip
Keine: "We're here"
We arrived in front of a very large and luxurious Japanese mansion, yes, I can confirm that the girl I met was a rich person
Guard: "Oh Keine-san, what are you doing here?"
Keine: "I want to meet Akyuu with the person beside me, he's an outsider"
Guard : "Ah Hieda-san must be happy with this, please come in Keine-san, Outsider-san"
The guard opened the door and the two of us went inside, I can't help but be amazed to see this mansion which is very beautiful, there are some flowers, and cherry trees that don't seem to bloom anymore because it's autumn
Katsuragi: "This mansion is really beautiful, it also looks luxurious"
Keine : "Yes Akyuu is the Hieda noble family which is the richest family in this village, they also have a large vegetable garden which can supply food for this village"
After a while we arrived at the door and a maid greeted us, and when I saw her I was shocked
Katsuragi: "You're...the girl from yesterday right?"
Iroha: "Oh Katsuragi-san, yes it's me Iroha"
Keine: "Do you guys already know?"
Iroha: "This man helped my father who was in pain yesterday at Geidontei, thank you again Katsuragi-san for helping my father"
Katsuragi: "That's fine Iroha-san, and also do you work here?"
Iroha: "Yeah, I've been a maid at the Hieda family for a long time, and by the way, what do you guys need here for?"
Keine: "I want to bring Katsuragi-san to Akyuu, you know she likes to dig up information from outsiders"
Iroha :"Ah right, wait a second I will ask Akyuu-sama first"
Iroha then went to inform this girl named Akyuu of my arrival
Keine: "So what happened at Geidontei yesterday?"
I then explained everything that happened yesterday to Keine, Keine who heard it looked serious but smiled when I finished
Keine:"You really are a great guy, able to think fast in those situations"
Katsuragi: "I just don't want any chaos, and also the food at the bar is really good so I don't want the bar to close due to bad reputation"
Keine: *chuckles* "Hehe you really are a quirky guy, but that's what makes you great"
After a while Iroha came back and said that Akyuu could meet us, then we were escorted by her to the study of this girl named Akyuu and after a while we arrived at her study, and I saw a purple haired young girl with a yellow yukata with flowers on her body, to be honest she's a cute girl
Akyuu : "Welcome Outsider-san, my name is Hieda no Akyuu, daughter of the ninth child of Miare, and author of the history of Gensokyo in this village, nice to meet Outsider-san"
Katsuragi : "My name is Hinata Katsuragi, an outsider who stranded to Gensokyo a few days ago, nice to meet you Hieda-san"
Akyuu : "Just call me Akyuu, I prefer to be called that"
Katsuragi: "Yeah...it might be a bit difficult since you're from a noble family"
Yes I'm not lying about this, because I often speak formally to superiors I have difficulty speaking when asked to do this by people of a higher rank than me
Akyuu: *Chuckles* "Hehe come on don't be so formal with me, take it easy"
Katsuragi: "Okay Akyuu-san, you can call me Katsuragi"
Akyuu : "Of course Katsuragi-san, now please sit in front of me, I want to ask you a few questions"
I then sat in front of Akyuu's desk facing her, and Keine sat beside me while listening to me carefully
Akyuu: "How long have you lived in Gensokyo Katsuragi-san?"
Katsuragi: "It's been 4 days until now, and I'm staying at Reimu shrine"
Akyuu :"That was quite a shock, because "sorry" but Reimu is poor and she doesn't seem like her will let other people live in her shrine"
Katsuragi : "Yeah I'm helping her too financially so she doesn't mind, and also if Reimu hears this she'll be mad at you Akyuu-san"
Akyuu: *Chuckles* "Hehe yeah I know, and that's why I'm brave enough to say it since she's not here"
Keine: "Even though you always act polite in front of her Akyuu"
Akyuu: "I don't want to make her angry so better be nice to her, and also Katsuragi-san, if you don't mind can you explain how you got stranded to Gensokyo?"
Katsuragi: "Sure, but this might be a little long"
I then told her everything about how I ended up in Gensokyo, including when I was about to kill myself which surprised them both because they didn't think I would not do it.
Akyuu: "That's...unexpected, you look like a cheerful person Katsuragi-san"
Keine: "That's right...you're even nice to talk to"
Katsuragi: "Yeah...everyone changes when they're in a situation they don't want, I lost my wife to a disease I couldn't cure, I lost someone precious to my life, and because I felt like I had no purpose to live anymore, I decided to end my own life
Akyuu: "Katsuragi-san...."
Katsuragi: "And just as I was doing it...Yukari restrained me, she started lecturing me about the stupid choice I made then threw me into Gensokyo, then I met Medicine who nearly killed me but I managed to survive thanks to Eirin's help, and just as I was about to return to outside world, Yukari restrained me and staged my death in the outside world so I couldn't go back, I wanted to be mad at her but that was karma for my actions, like it or not I had to accept it"
Keine: "...Are you still...thinking about your wife's death?"
Katsuragi: "Of course, I still think about it, even though it's been a long time but I can't stop thinking about it, I tried to let go but it's still a little difficult for me, but at least I don't think about ending my life again, I already have a goal which is to live my life new in this world
And after saying that, I felt a pat on my back which was from Keine, she looked at me with a warm face and a smile that calmed me down.
Keine : "Nice to hear that Katsuragi-san, if you need anything just tell me, as a friend I will help you adapt in this world"
I was slightly touched by Keine's words, and it made me smile to have someone who cares for me
Katsuragi: "Thank you Keine-san"
Akyuu: "And now Katsuragi-san, can you tell me about the outside world? I'm really curious about that"
I saw Akyuu's eyes shining like a child who was thirsty for knowledge, and of course I couldn't refuse this girl's wish
Katsuragi: "Sure, this will be long so listen carefully"
Timeskip
Katsuragi: "So how about it Akyuu-san?"
Akyuu: "That's great! The outside world is really great, I'm sure you'll have a great time living there Katsuragi-san"
I just finished explaining about the outside world to Akyuu, she occasionally asks and I answer wholeheartedly, she seems happy to hear everything and actually jots it down on a scroll, for a young girl she's really great to be able to write all that down
Katsuragi: *Chuckles* "Hehe it's not that comfortable Akyuu-san, and if I'm honest I prefer Gensokyo, this place really calms me down with the view"
Keine: "But don't forget the free-roaming yokai Katsuragi-san"
Katsuragi: "Yes yes I know, I won't be stupid to challenge them"
Akyuu: *Chuckles* "Hehe I'm glad you understand-uhk...uhkk..."
And suddenly Akyuu coughed which made me a little worried
Katsuragi: "Akyuu-san what's wrong? Are you sick?"
Akyuu: "It's okay, I'm used to this"
Katsuragi: "Is that so? Shouldn't you go to Eirin's for treatment?"
Keine: "Katsuragi-san, Akyuu...has a different condition from other humans"
Katsuragi: "Different?"
Akyuu : "Yeah, my body is a bit weak due to the Reincarnation process, and this is common with the Hieda family"
I'm starting to get confused by what Akyuu said, Reincarnation? what do you mean revived?
Akyuu: "Ah you seem confused, we Child of Miare have weak bodies and short lifespans"
...
Katsuragi: "Short life?"
Akyuu : "Yes, we Child of Miare have the ability to remember everything in Gensokyo, and because of that I have memories of my ancestors more than 1200 years ago, but we have weak bodies because of our reincarnation process, and and we probably won't even be 30 years old, yeah that is fate for us Child of Miare so I have to accept it"
Katsuragi: "Only 30 years...that's...sad, don't you fear your death Akyuu-san?"
Akyuu: "No, because this is a normal thing for Child of Miare, my job is to record all the information and history in Gensokyo and write everything in the Gensokyo Chronicle, then let my next generation continue my work, even if I do die. ..at least I've got good memories for the rest of my life"
...
I am silent with this girl, even though she has to live her sad fate but she is still strong, even loyal to the task she is doing, I feel... I am weaker than this girl
Katsuragi: "...Heh I'm weaker than you it seems Akyuu-san, because of the loss of the person I love I decided to kill myself, even though it was all a stupid and naive act, if I kill myself will I definitely meet my wife? what would she like to see me throw away my own life just for her sake? definitely not, she'll really think I'm a madman for throwing away my own life for her sake"
Akyuu: "Katsuragi-san..."
Katsuragi: "But Akyuu-san you're different, even though your body is weak and you know your life won't last long but you still try hard, you still do your job without thinking about your fear of death, you're really a strong girl, I'm really jealous with your persistence
I patted her head and stroked her head, I really respect this girl, she's a strong girl
Katsuragi : "Thank you Akyuu-san, thanks to you I can appreciate my life more now"
...
...
Katsuragi: "Ah...."
And I just realized that I just stroked the head of a noble without permission, I immediately pulled back my hand and apologized
Katsuragi: "S-sorry, I-I didn't mean to be rude, I-I'm used to patting people younger than me on the head to please them so huh...em..."
But I saw Akyuu's face smiling and chuckling, at least I can make sure he's not mad at me
Akyuu: "Hahaha don't worry Katsuragi-san, I'm not angry anyway...I'm happy to get that pat, it makes me comfortable, I'll be happy if I get it again"
Katsuragi: "Uh huh.."
Akyuu: "Come on~ do it again please~"
Katsuragi: "A-alright"
I then patted Akyuu's head and stroked it slowly, I saw Akyuu's face that seemed to enjoy my caressing, I couldn't help but smile seeing her warm cheerful face, yes this reminded me again of the children at the orphanage, but I guess I have to stop Now, I don't want to be considered a lolicon
Katsuragi: "Yeah...I guess that's enough Akyuu-san"
Akyuu: *Chuckles* "Hehe thanks Katsuragi-san, it makes me happy, at least I can feel that nice caressing from a kind person like you"
Katsuragi: "I'll take that as a compliment"
Akyuu: *Chuckles* "Hehe you're a funny person Katsuragi-san, I hope we can chat a lot later, oh yeah it's lunch in a bit, if you don't mind having lunch here? don't worry because the food made by our maid is delicious"
I don't know how to answer this, I mean I was suddenly invited to lunch by a noble, and also we just met now which of course I'm a foreigner here
Katsuragi: "Yeah..I'm fine, but it depends on Keine-san"
Keine: "I don't really mind, to be honest I'm also getting hungry now"
Okay that's an unexpected answer from Keine
Akyuu: "Okay I'll have the maids make lunch for you guys, also Katsuragi-san you can walk around the mansion while waiting for lunch to be prepared, Keine-san will guide you"
Akyuu then went out of her study, leaving the two of us here
Keine: "Wanna go now?"
Katsuragi: "Yeah sure, I'm also curious about this whole mansion"
Timeskip
Katsuragi: "...Okay this place is really fancy"
Keine:"Like I said, the Hieda family is the richest family in this village"
I was walking around with Keine in the mansion owned by the Hieda family and I couldn't help but be amazed because this mansion is really nice and charming, there are beautiful wall decorations, vases that look antique, gardens that are very large and pleasing to the eye, and others, the mansion it's so luxurious"
Katsuragi: "Um..those..the guards?"
I saw several guards being trained to use wooden katanas by their trainers
Keine: "Ah yes, in order to avoid yokai attacks the guards are trained in using their katana, although it's a bit rare to have attacks by yokai but it's better to be prepared right?"
Katsuragi: "Yeah you're right...but that coach is really good, he took down the guards with his katana"
The well-built coach managed to take down the guards with his katana, his movements were also agile which overwhelmed the guards with him.
Keine: "Oh Makoto-san is indeed skilled in swordsmanship, he is also the one who taught the guards here about swordsmanship."
Katsuragi: "I see..."
...
...
Katsuragi: "Wait...Makoto-san?..."
Makoto-san....
...
Katsuragi: "Wait a minute!? That burly guy is Makoto-san!?"
Of course I was shocked, because I remembered that guy named Makoto-san was a fat person, but now he's muscular!?
Keine: "Yeah, I know he's been fat all along but I'm sure it's Makoto-san, I've memorized the faces of all the humans in the village so I'm sure it's him"
Katsuragi: "Yeah...but if it's Makoto-san how can he be that tough?"
???: "It's because of you Katsuragi-san"
Katsuragi, Keine: "AH!"
We were both startled by the sound of someone suddenly appearing from behind us, and when I turned around it was Iroha
Keine: *Sigh* "Huh...you startled me Iroha"
Katsuragi: "Right, why did you suddenly appear like that?"
Iroha: "Just for entertainment, and about that coach yes it's my father Makoto-san he got so muscular because of you"
Katsuragi: "What do you mean...he's working out?"
Iroha: "Yeah, right when we got home yesterday, dad went straight to exercise, lifting heavy logs, hitting water and throwing it 1000 times, swinging his katana 1000 times, and other strenuous activities, he even ignored my mom who asked him out for dinner"
Keine: "Wow...that's pretty great"
Katsuragi: "But that's too much, isn't he tired?"
Iroha: "I told him to rest that time, however..."
"Don't worry about me Iroha, I have to lose my weight in order for my ailments in my body to disappear, I don't want to die before I can see you get married"
Iroha: "And that's what it said"
That's good motivation, but excessive exercise will make his body feel sore or sore due to inflammation in the muscles
Iroha: "And right after he finished he immediately started to hurt because of aches all over his body, and because of that my mom and I had to massage him until he wasn't hurting anymore"
Katsuragi: "Yeah I knew it, I'm sorry that my suggestion caused you trouble"
Iroha: "Ah no, it's thanks to you that now dad isn't sick anymore, even thanks to you he isn't fat anymore, I have to thank you Katsuragi-san"
Katsuragi: "Yes...you're welcome, and also if you don't mind, why did your father get fat?"
Iroha: "That's because he decided to retire from training the guards and started to rest, and yes the rest made his body fat"
Katsuragi: "I see..."
But what I'm still thinking in my head is how could the Makoto who was fat yesterday now become muscular in one day with just exercise? this is just like a cheat
???: "OH KATSURAGI!!!"
I looked at the sound of screaming coming from Makoto who was waving at me, yeah I guess he wanted me to go there, I walked over there to see Makoto who was now...more muscular, and looking strong
Katsuragi: "Ah it's nice to see you're getting better Makoto-san, even now you're not fat anymore"
Makoto : "Haha yeah it's because of you young man, thank you for giving me advice to make my illness go away Katsuragi"
Katsuragi : "No problem Makoto-san, it's good to see you're not sick anymore"
Makoto: "Yes because you are here to have a sword fight with me?"
...
...
Katsuragi: "Eh?"
Makoto : "Come on I'm sure you're strong, so have a match with me now"
Makoro then gave me a wooden katana to spar with him, I wanted to refuse but seeing his seriousness I couldn't refuse.
Katsuragi: "Okay....don't beat me up okay?"
Makoto :*Laughs* "Hahaha of course, but I'm not holding back"
I then took my place to prepare, holding my wooden katana firmly, and I could see the guards that Makoto had trained looking at us with curious eyes, I also saw Keine and Iroha also watching.
Makoto: "Keine-san can you be the judge?"
Keine: "Sure"
Keine then stood between us and started explaining the rules
Keine: "The rule is if you succeed in cornering your opponent or unable to move anymore, that's the winner, are you guys ready?"
Katsuragi, Makoto: "Ready"
Keine: "Alright...START!"
Keine immediately stepped back from the field and both of us started to adjust our position respectively, I looked at Makoto seriously in case he attacks me
Katsuragi: "Can I attack now?"
Makoto : "Sure go ahead, I will fight you happily"
Katsuragi: "Okay"
...
....
Katsuragi: "HYAAKK!"
"KLAKKK"
I ran and threw my katana at Makoto with a speed that took him a bit by surprise but he managed to hold it in
Makoto : "Hoho you are great too Katsuragi"
Katsuragi: "Don't underestimate me Makoto-san, now let's start the game"
"KLAKKK"
"KLAKKK"
I kept attacking Makoto as he kept parrying all of my attacks, and I could hear the screams of the guards watching us
Guard 1: "LET'S WIN KATSURAGI-SAN"
Ranger 2: "KICK THAT COACH'S ASS"
Guard 3: "OVERWHELMED HIM"
I can't help but laugh when I hear them say that
Katsuragi: *Chuckles* "Hehe they seem really pissed off at you huh"
Makoto : "Yeah I coached them from long ago, they must be annoyed because I gave them such hard training"
"KLAKKKK"
Katsuragi: "And then I'll give you some serious training"
"KLAKKK"
"KLAKKK"
"KLAKKK"
I continued to rapidly attack Makoto, and Makoto slowly started to retreat while enduring my attacks, however
"SRTTTT"
I immediately backed away after Makoto suddenly attacked me with his katana, I could see that it almost hit my neck, if you hit me I might faint from the force of his swing
Katsuragi: "Fuhh...that was close"
Makoto : "You're good at dodging my attacks young man, but I won't let you rest"
Katsuragi: "Heh it doesn't matter, after all I'm still 28 so I'm still strong"
We continued to attack each other vigorously and the crowd's cheers started to erupt, and
"PLAKKK"
My katana slipped from me and flew through the air and landed on one of the guard's heads
Makoto : "Haha looks like you lost to Katsuragi"
Makoto then swung his sword towards my head, however
"HAPPPP"
I caught it with both palms of my hand
Guards: "HAHH!!??"
The guards screamed loudly in shock when they saw me do this, well maybe they have never seen someone do something crazy like this
Makoto: "W-what?"
Katsuragi: "And now it's my turn"
I quickly dart towards his belly, hold him by my shoulders and hold his hands and then lift him up to my shoulders, then
"BRAKKK"
Slam it to the ground
...
...
Makoto: "A-Ah...that hurts-"
Katsuragi: "I won Makoto-san"
I drew my katana around his neck and looked at him with a satisfied smile, yes it's been a long time since I practiced sword like this
Makoto: "...Hahahahaha yes yes I give up, you win young man, to be honest it was a surprise attack"
Katsuragi: "Not all of those opponents will use the usual way when fighting Makoto-san"
I reached out my hand to Makoto to help him up, he smiled then shook it, I'm happy to be able to fight again excitingly with other people
Makoto: *Slaps Katsuragi's back* "Haha but to be honest you're the first person to beat me Katsuragi"
Katsuragi: "Ah-ah thank you"
Keine and Iroha then approached us with worried faces
Keine: "You okay Makoto-san?"
Makoto : "Haha it's okay Keine-san, it didn't hurt too much and honestly it was a fun fight"
Iroha: "And Katsuragi-san can slam a burly dad so easily, you're really good Katsuragi-san"
Katsuragi: *Scratches head* "Hehe thanks"
And the guards started approaching me while giving me compliments
Guard 1: "You were really great earlier Katsuragi-san"
Guard 2: "That's right, your sword skills are very good"
Guard 3: "And you can slam Makoto-san easily, you must be an expert in martial arts"
The compliments from all of them overwhelmed me, not that I wasn't happy it was just that I was a little embarrassed by all the compliments
Katsuragi: "Hehe thanks for the compliment"
Yes, I can do martial arts, namely Judo and Kendo, the reason I can learn them is because my friend who was impudent in high school entered my name into the Judo extracurricular which made me have to join, yes at first I hated it but I started to like it, and then I switched to Kendo in grade 2 and managed to win a tournament at school level, maybe I should thank that friend of mine...but he's still a bastard
???: "That was a great battle Katsuragi-san"
I heard a voice behind and when I turned around it was Akyuu
Katsuragi: "Oh you watched it Akyuu-san?"
Akyuu: "Yeah, it was a pretty good fight, to be honest I thought you would be beaten by Makoto-san but it turns out Makoto-san was the one who was beaten by you, even though Makoto-san is quite strong you know"
Makoto : "Haha Akyuu-sama I am indeed strong, but this young man's experience is better than mine so he can beat me easily"
Makoto hit my back again which hurt a bit but yeah he's an old man so I understand that
Katsuragi : "Yes thanks for the compliment Makoto-san"
Akyuu: "Yeah since it's finished it's better for you to have lunch now, I've ordered the maid to make portions for you and your guardians Makoto-san"
Makoto : "Thank you Akyuu-sama, let's all eat now, I'm really hungry"
Iroha: "Dad...please be polite in front of Akyuu-sama"
Akyuu: *Chuckles* "Hehe it's fine Iroha-san, after all Makoto-san is tired enough training the guards"
They all talked and laughed at each other, I saw this all remembering a little when I talked with my colleagues, my patients, and my interns, yes, those were all quite beautiful memories and made my heart feel comfortable
Katsuragi: "..Heh I guess...it's not bad to live in this world too"
Timeskip
Katsuragi: "Hah...that was quite a good lunch, if Reimu was around she would definitely eat more there"
Keine: *Chuckles* "Hehe yeah I understand, she's quite poor and rarely eats such good food, but you better keep this a secret from her otherwise she'll be mad at you for not asking her~"
Katsuragi: "Yes yes I know Keine-san"
It was late afternoon and we were walking in the village, we had just left the Hieda family's Manison after nearly half a day there.
Keine: "You must be exhausted training the guards"
Katsuragi: "I won't lie about that, but...it was quite fun"
After we had lunch this afternoon, Makoto asked me to train the guards with him too, yes at first I wanted to refuse but seeing the guards wanting me to train them I couldn't help but accept it, and yes...they were overwhelmed because of me
Keine: *Chuckles* "Hehe but it was quite funny to see you take down the guards that were going to attack you in training earlier, for a doctor you're pretty good at martial arts"
Katsuragi: "Let's just say that it's because of an experience I accidentally got in my world"
We continued walking and were silent to each other, until Keine stopped walking and talking
Keine: "Em...Katsuragi-san, can...can I ask you something?"
I turned and looked at Keine whose face looked shy and nervous, and to be honest this was the first time I saw her like this
Katsuragi: "Sure, just say it"
Keine: "Yeah...that's...you know I'm a history teacher and I'm not very good at math..."
I nodded my head at her statement, indeed she seemed to have difficulty checking the students' questions this afternoon at school
Keine: "Yeah...that's why...Ka-Katsuragi-san.....please be my school's math teacher"
Keine bowed before me which made me startled and started to get nervous
Katsuragi: "Ke-Keine-san you don't have to bow to me"
Keine: "Ah..sorry, it's just that I hope you accept it, I want you to teach the students at school with math skills, and if you can impart a bit of knowledge from the outside world to them, I want the children to learn and useful experiences in their lives
Katsuragi: "I see..."
Keine: "After all, you're not working right? You can work as a teacher and about the pay I'll pay you, I also don't want you to work for nothing at my school"
...
...
Katsuragi: *Chuckles* "Hehe"
Keine: *Confused* "Katsuragi-san? Why are you laughing?"
Kasturagi: "No no, it's just that you're a good woman Keine-san, you really think about your student that far huh"
Keine: *Blushes* "Yeah...I'm their teacher so I have to think about their future"
Katsuragi: "And that's what's so special about you, you really care about other people"
Keine looked at me and I saw her face started to turn red, and then she looked down, like she was embarrassed and that was pretty cute I think
Katsuragi: "Yes I have decided, I will be a teacher at your school Keine-san, I will teach the students lessons they never got and it will be beneficial for them"
Besides, I'd be happy if I could teach the kids again, like I taught the kids at the orphanage
Keine: "Katsuragi-san..."
And then Keine smiled at me which made me happy, I guess making others smile is one of my strengths
Keine: "Thank you Katsuragi-san"
Katsuragi: "You're welcome Keine-san-"
???: "BOOHH!!"
Katsuragi: "AH!"
I was startled and jumped forward due to a loud scream from behind me
???: "YEAYY I SCARED HUMANS!!"
I looked back and saw a girl jumping up and down happily in front of me, she had blue hair and was holding an umbrella in her hand, but what was striking was that the umbrella had eyes and had a tongue on it
Katsuragi: "Who is this girl? and also why is she happy to scare me?"
Keine: "Ka-Katsuragi-san..."
Katsuragi: "Hm? What's wrong....ah..."
I realized that I was now holding both of Keine's shoulders and our faces were only about 10 cm apart, and the most obvious thing was that her face was red, and I immediately stepped back.
Katsuragi: "S-sorry Keine-san, I didn't mean to be rude"
Keine: "i-it's okay, it's not your fault either"
Then Keine walked towards the girl, but her aura now changed slightly
Keine: "Kogasa..."
The girl called Keine that Kogasa stopped jumping and she looked at Keine with a nervous look
Kogasa: "Ke-Keine-san?"
Keine: "Didn't I tell you not to scare humans like that?"
Kogasa: "Bu-but I need it, you know I'm a yokai that needs the fear of humans to live"
Oh She's a Yokai, that explains why She has a weird umbrella
Keine: "Yeah I know, but...could you check the situation first before scaring anyone? Me and Katsuragi were having a conversation earlier and it wasn't polite"
Kogasa: "Ah...s-sorry Keine-san"
The girl looked down with a guilty look, yes I'm kinda sorry to see that but what Keine said was true
Keine: *Sighs* "Next time pay attention to the situation okay"
Keine smiled and patted the girl's head to calm her down, the girl looked up and started smiling
Kogasa: "Okay Keine-san"
So I decided to join in the conversation with them
Katsuragi: "So who is this girl Keine-san?"
Keine: "She is Tatara Kogasa, yokai Tsukumogami"
Kogasa: "Hello Onii-san, my name is Tatara Kogasa, just call me Kogasa, I'm yokai Karakasa Obake, I need the fear of humans to eat and live so I'm sorry for startling you earlier Onii-san"
Eat? ah I see so she feeds on human fear, that's quite unique
Katsuragi:"No problem Kogasa-san, and also just call me Katsuragi"
Keine: "Kogasa is one of the yokai allowed to live in the village because she's harmless and doesn't attack humans, and she often helps the villagers with her blacksmithing skills"
Katsuragi: "Wait blacksmith?"
That's quite surprising, this cute girl can actually do heavy work that is usually done by men
Kogasa: *Blushes* "Hehe you compliment me too much Keine-san"
Keine: "And also she is skilled at being a babysitter"
Katsuragi: "Oh...that I think is a more suitable job for her"
Kogasa: "Hehe thanks, but I'm still too careless to be a babysitter"
Katsuragi: "Is that so...wait..."
I then approached Kogasa and looked at her face closely, to be precise in the eye
Kogasa: *Blushes* "Ka-Katsuragi-san, what's wrong?"
Katsuragi: "...Wow...I didn't expect to see Heterochromia in person"
Kogasa, Keine: "He-heter what?"
I can only sigh because medical science in Gensokyo is still not very advanced
Katsuragi: "Heterochromia, a condition when a person has two different colored irises, like yours"
I can see that the irises of her two eyes are different colors, the one on the right is red and the one on the left is blue
Kogasa: "I see....do you think..this is weird?"
Katsuragi: "Strange? No, in fact, I think it's unique, indeed in medicine it's a disorder but in my own view it's very interesting, because only 11 out of 1000 people are affected by the disorder, and one more thing that's beautiful in my opinion"
Kogasa: "Beautiful?"
Katsuragi: "Yeah beautiful, two irises of different colors are very beautiful in my opinion, looks very cool, and it can make someone seem to have their own strengths, to be honest people who mock people with Heterochromia don't have good eyesight"
I'm not lying about that of course, I'm very amazed to see this in person, as long as I'm a doctor I've never seen Heterochromia sufferers though and because now I can see it I'm very happy
...
Kogasa: *Cries "Sob..."
Katsuragi: "Eh Ko-Kogasa-san?"
I started to panic because she suddenly started crying, I'm sure I didn't say anything mean to her earlier
Kogasa: "S-sorry...sob...it's just...sob..this is the first time someone has said such nice things to me about my eyes"
Katsuragi: "Is that so?"
Kogasa: "Yeah..sob...some yokai in the forest think I'm weird because of my different eye color, even some kids in the village make fun of my eyes too, I'm so sad because of that, but when you say my eyes are beautiful I'm so happy, you don't ridicule my eyes at all Katsuragi-san, you're a good human"
I was stunned to see this girl, she smiled very sincerely at me now, I could only smile back and pat her head and stroke her
Katsuragi: "Nice to hear that, you don't need to hear what other people say about you, just be yourself and be proud of who you are"
Kogasa: *Smiles* "Yeah, thanks Katsuragi-san, I hope we can be friends from now on"
Katsuragi: *Chuckles* "Hehe sure, I'd love to be friends with a girl as cute as you"
Kogasa: *Blushes* "Hehe you embarrassed me Katsuragi-san"
After a while we chatted, Kogasa then went back to her house in the village too, I enjoyed talking to her, even though she's a yokai she's quite friendly, like Keine
Keine: "You are very kind Katsuragi-san, you can make Kogasa feel better, even I can't cheer her up like that"
Katsuragi: "Yeah, that's probably my strength, now I better go home Keine-san, Reimu must be waiting for me, oh yeah, for tomorrow when can I go?"
Keine: "After breakfast you can go straight to my place Katsuragi-san"
Katsuragi: "Okay I understand, I'll go first Keine-san, see you tomorrow"
Keine: "Yes, be careful on your way Katsuragi-san"
Timeskip
At the Hakurei Shrine
Katsuragi: "Finally I arrived"
After a few minutes of flying I arrived at the Hakurei shrine grounds, and then Reimu and Marisa came out from inside the shrine and greeted me
Reimu: "Oh welcome Katsuragi, how was it in the village?"
Katsuragi: "Yeah it was quite fun, I'll tell about it at dinner later, I'm exhausted now"
My body is really tired now, especially after flying for quite a long time
Reimu: *Chuckles* "Hehe I see, wait a moment I'll make you some tea first"
Reimu then re-entered the shrine, leaving me with Marisa
Katsuragi: "So...how's your forehead Marisa?"
Marisa: "It's getting better, I treated it this afternoon, and your forehead?"
Katsuragi: "It doesn't hurt anymore, after all I'm a man so it hurts like that I have to endure, although...for a girl like you it's a strong blow"
Marisa: *Chuckling* "Hehe don't underestimate me, but yeah...I'm sorry for attacking you and hitting you this afternoon, also acting like a child, even though it was my fault for asking you to shoot that danmaku at my head"
Marisa looked down guiltily, I saw that I could only smile, even though she was frankly a good girl
Katsuragi: "It's okay, it's also my fault for directly shooting it at you without warning, now don't have any more enmity between us okay?"
I patted her head and stroked her to calm her down, she looked up at me and smiled warmly
Marisa: "Yeah, no more hostility-ze"
Katsuragi: "Good, oh well it's almost night now so we better cook dinner, and true to what I said this afternoon I will make a very delicious meal for you as an apology"
Marisa: *Chuckles* "Hehe sure, I'll be happy to eat it-ze"
We both entered the temple, today was quite a tiring day and many things surprised me, but today was a great day, I got a lot of experience and met people who have different traits but are kind and friendly, I think My life in Gensokyo now is going well, and I hope that there will be no obstacles in my new life
