002 - Minor Convenience | Deals, Food, & Fellow Youkais
Yukari is a woman of laziness, and she will do anything to prolong her lazy life as much as possible.
Ergo, she will make a deal with her fellow youkais and make (force) them to stop their evil deeds, become a virtuous person, and also talk about their house extended warranty.
"Now, where to start? I am the IRS after all, at least, that is what the people from the village call me. The older generation at least. I do not think the younger generation knows I exist. No matter, I will do my job… after I sleep for an indefinite amount of time," she said, hoping to go back to sleep.
Suddenly, another youkai appeared and crashed into her western bed, her kitchen, and the straws from a party a long time ago.
'That is the last straw. Literally. Those straws were the last one after I got it from that shady woman from the forest. I think she illegally imported those into here,' she thought as she picked up that one last straw.
Before she went back to sleep, she grabbed a cup of hot ice tea, used the straw, and sipped from the drink.
She slurped until the ice tea was no more. "Bloody hell. This tea is bri'ish, innit?"
She continued to sip despite the tea already empty, one notable thing about Yukari is that she is addicted to tea due to her nationality.
"Pwah! This is much better than any bo'ohw'o'wo'er."
Now that she is done drinking from the cup, she will go to sleep while the realm burns down because nobody is doing something about it.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
And it looks like somebody knocking the door and trying to reach out to Yukari, the shrine maiden who supposedly protects the realm.
"Not now… *snores*" She was having a nice, relaxing sleep, then suddenly, somebody slapped her across the face from the shadows. She instantly woke up.
"Bloody hell! Who did that?! That is not very nice, innit?!" She frantically looked around and found no one.
"Hmm, it must be my imagination. Okay then, back to sleep-" SLAPS! "-Oi!" Then she finally saw who did it.
A woman wearing standard issue dark school teacher clothes was none other than…
"Rumia Kamishirasawa. It is not a pleasure to meet you considering you slapped me two times in a row. What do you want from me?" she asked, mildly infuriated that her nice, relaxing sleep was disturbed.
"What do I want from you? Let's see… the human village almost got destroyed by a powerful youkai! You need to solve this immediately! That youkai is still out there and their minions are trying to find the village!" she shouted as her power of darkness seeped out from her.
"Huh, maybe if you have done your job properly, then the human village might not have become a food supply for the youkais, innit?" she casually said, laziness taking her over as time goes on.
"Is that so? Last time I checked, it is also your job to protect the human village. Don't forget that you're the one who stated and wrote it in the paper that you have signed." Rumia makes her remember that time that she signed the paper to form a pact with the humans in the village.
"Did I? I must be forgetful. Anyway, want some tea?" Yukari offered her ice tea at a time like this.
"Yukari, this is no time to be joking. My darkness power is distracting the minions as we speak. There is no time to waste. Come on!" Rumia said, then began to pull Yukari out of her bed from her arm.
Yukari is not moving.
"How much do you weigh?! I can't move you." Yukari is almost mildly infuriated by that. Because of that, she is going to move now and not get berated by her fellow youkai.
"Hmm, aight, I'll move and solve this incident, but stop slandering me and my weight." Rumia let go of her arm, she is now happy that Yukari is now moving. It is not every day that the shrine priestess gets out of her house. Only once every six months does she get out of her house. How she buys food and the other necessary essentials, who knows.
And so, our heroine and her sidekick go out to find the powerful youkai who tried to raze the human village into the ground.
The human village is safe since Rumia's ability to control darkness prevents the youkais from ever finding it, but it won't take too long until they actually find it and eat everyone in it.
Our heroines must act fast if they want to prevent another incident from happening.
Yukari just wants to sleep all day, but the incident prevents her from doing that.
'This is going to be a long day, innit?' she thought as she ran through the pathway with Rumia.
