AN : Okay. This is the first chapter of my first Fanfic. For warning, as my OC, Yasei, stated in Prologue, he won't be an easy target to catch. Seems this even applies to Gensokyo girls as well… But I didn't intend to make him become Gappy Stu. You know your typical outsider has abundant knowledge about Gensokyo. Lucy Thesda is one of them. For details, read The Outsider Fanfic by Savato93. This time, I'm trying to apply it on a scenario when one of Gensokyo girls engaged Yasei in Outside World. (Outside World?! You've gotta be kidding me! Isn't it the other ways around?) I did expect you would ask that, so I add the brackets. Seems this idea is pretty rare. Previously, we already see Yasei's combat ability. As Remilia said, his speed is ridiculous to humans, because Usain Bolt only managed to reach 100 meters in 9.63 seconds, while Yasei only need 5 seconds. Then how about Kazekage? He's merely a jumping stone for this story. Though he is army slayer, he isn't immune to manipulation powers. Did I write too much? Sorry. I'm trying to answer all confusions considering this is my first Fanfic story. For reminder, I don't own Touhou Project, Lucy Thesda, Vaati Star, and Walfas characters like Mizutani Hotaru, Arcluz, and Oliver Morales. All of them belong to their respective authors. I already write it in Prologue. Then, let's continue this Fanfic story. Without further ado!

Wild Nerd's Strange Life Saga Chapter 1

Fate Strands of the Outsider

Previously…

Yukari was bored because she has nothing to do, until she got an invitation letter from the Scarlet Devil, Remilia Scarlet. She goes there as soon as possible. With her gaps, that is. Yukari even checked the front gate, just in case Meiling is awake. When she found Meiling is doing her afternoon nap (reference in Touhou Wiki), she ignored the latter and going inside. There, she was greeted by Remilia herself, and told that an outsider has a strand of fate that symbolize the connection with Gensokyo. Meanwhile, Yasei was assigned on mission to capture Kazekage, the National Threat criminal. When he founds Kazekage's HQ, he intended to strike alone, but he's spotted by a guard. That forces him to fight his way until he reaches the Chamber. He didn't know that Kazekage is already defeated and that he was being watched from the start...

Doors to Kazekage's Chamber…

Yasei fought his way until he reached this place. Then he checked his equipment condition and realized that his ammunition is still full. "Finally... I never thought that his guards could be this much... And they even have firearms too… Good thing I can hold myself to not shoot them. I bet this is the door to his chamber. Before that, I must change my outfit first. Now where's the restroom…"

Restroom? Wait, what's he planning? Few minutes after…

"Good. I like this school outfit better. The police uniform I get is really stiff that I could barely able to avoid those guards. All right. Time for the Final Boss!" So that's why… Yasei needs more mobility.

Inside, he found no one. The room seems deserted, yet neatly cleaned. It's very strange, indeed. 'Did Kazekage has his own right hand? We'll see about that.' With that thought in mind, he searches the room for all possible hiding places. That, until something sharp hits his back. Yasei instantly knew a bladed weapon is pointed at him. 'Now a threat?' He instinctually dashes, and turning back, only to see a surprising sight. "Whoa?!"

Yasei saw a maid in front of him, with her face concealed.

"Surprised? I already took care of your target, so don't worry. Besides, my mistress would like to see what you got." 'Wait, she beat Kazekage while I'm fighting my way here?!' With that thought in mind, he began to compare the references he got from Touhou Wiki. 'Let's see… Bladed weapon pointed at my back, a maid that got an order from her mistress, then white and blue French maid uniform… Dang!' Fear that he is dreaming, he slaps himself in the right cheek. But the maid didn't disappear. "I can assure you, this isn't imagination."

Then she steps forward, allowing Yasei to see her previously hidden face.

"I know. I already confirmed it earlier. Who would think that Gensokyo really exist…" Yasei hesitantly admitted it, knowing that he's not dreaming. "How do you know?" The maid is quite surprised to the fact that Yasei remains unfazed even after she showed herself. Then the latter showed his deduction skills. "First, from the fact that you're here. I suppose this must be the work of Yukari Yakumo, one of Gensokyo Sages. Second, your outfit. White and blue French maid uniform of SDM. Only the head maid that wears it. This leads to my last conclusion. Since I was hit by bladed weapon, you must be the one who beat Kazekage. That's how I know it from the current situation." "You got it right." The maid nods, amazed with Yasei's summary. "Then allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sugaku Yasei, and I'm Nerd Ace Hunter." And this is when the deduction comes to light. "Just to be sure, am I the one that Yukari and your mistress looking for, Head Maid of SDM, Sakuya Izayoi?"

It actually works too well that even Sakuya, the maid mentioned, almost lost her composure.

'He even knows my name… Look like mistress is right.' But she managed to stay calm. "Indeed. But the order I receive is to test what you got. Let's see how you fare against one of Touhou Top 4!" Without a single warning, Sakuya throws her knives directly to Yasei. "Whoa?!" Thanks to his ridiculous speed, Yasei managed to evade the knives easily. "Really you… I won't complain though, since this is Gensokyo's way of greeting. But are you sure this is not Yukari's test?" Then he equips his Night Hawks, retaliates and shoots Sakuya, but she managed to evade it with you-know-what. "Sorry to say, but Yukari also has interest in you as well, so you could say it like that." Yasei is somehow unaffected, as he was able to see his bullet projectiles stops midair. 'Darn you, Yukari…' He mumbled in his mind, and then continues his fight with Sakuya.

Scarlet Devil Mansion, Gensokyo…

"He found me." Yukari speaks in a sudden. "How?" Seems Remilia didn't follow. "His deduction rivals that of a certain famous lawyer. The only exception is, he has abundant knowledge about us." Yukari talking about yet another event happened in past few years. "Well, he is the one who has the strand of fate, so that must be expected. And I think this strand will grow larger and longer after we invite him." Remilia finally understand what Yukari means. "Certainly. By the way, what happened to those two now?" Now they will talk about the main event. "Ah, you still remember them. Apparently, they were doing training journey, if you know what I mean." Yukari seems pissed with this. "Huft… If only Vaati isn't on the way… I could've scolded that Remington maid few years ago…" Remilia began to grin. "Now, now. I already foresaw that before. Why don't give Lucy a chance to be stronger? What we must do now is spectate how this outsider…" She is interrupted by Yukari. "He already introduced himself. I believe his name is Yasei." Remilia didn't even lose the beat as she repeat her statement. "Okay. What we must do now is spectate how Yasei will fare against Sakuya. This is a chance we can't miss."

Kazekage's Chamber…

Yasei certainly didn't expect to have such fight on his mission to capture Kazekage. But this time he must defend himself from Sakuya's offense. That makes him a little tired. "Phew… As expected. The wiki is right. You're truly one of Touhou Top 4, Sakuya." Yasei compliments Sakuya because he was nearly cornered. "I must say, not many people who can face me head on like this, especially an outsider like you." Sakuya seems to realize Yasei's immunity to her abilities. "Yeah. But this is strange." She seems surprised with that. "What do you mean?" Yasei made his point directly. "If I were to be tested like this, shouldn't you use your abilities to manipulate time?" Again, Sakuya almost lost her composure. "Very well. But I can't change the time flow speed here. Are you fine if the time is stopped?" Yasei smiles, because he already has a plan. "Bring it on. I already showed you my speed, didn't I?" Sakuya picks out a card. "If that's your wish, let's see how you fare… in My World!"

Wait, isn't that a Spell Card?! And while Sakuya stacking the knives around Yasei…

"Here we go again… I wonder why he didn't afraid with the fact of our existence…" Now it's Yukari who seems dissatisfied. "Actually, I already looked at the strand, and I found out that he is, in fact, the mountain shrine maiden's friend in Outside World before she got transported here. You do know the incident, right?" Whoa… Remilia even checked the strand?! "Wind God Chronicles Incident? I suppose that's when the second generation emerges." Remilia is grinning again. "And that's my point." Yukari is very surprised with what she means. "Hey, don't say…!"

Well, if Remilia is so sure about the outcome, then we must go back to the Chamber.

Sakuya became tired all of a sudden. When she looked at Yasei's place… "Wait, he's gone? But that's…" There was no one, until… "Impossible? It could be as you said, if I don't know the trick." A voice speaks behind Sakuya. She turned around, and… "Eh?!" She almost didn't believe that Yasei actually escaped her world, unharmed. "H-how?" Then Yasei explained his how-to-work tricks. "Knife momentum and earth gravity. I noticed that there is some room below me and the dome of knives. The only thing I could do to avoid that death trap is high-speed sliding, naturally. You're really serious about this order that it almost kill me, Sakuya… Not counting you already realized my immunity to your abilities…" After Sakuya calmed down, she decides to find out more about Kazekage. "I believe it's my turn to ask you a question." To her surprise, the boy obliges. "Okay. What is it?" She goes straight to the point. "Why you're looking for this Kazekage?" Hesitant at first, Yasei realized that it should be okay if he tells Sakuya about his mission. "This is confidential here, but I suppose I could tell you, since you're from Gensokyo. The reason is because he slayed many Japan Defense Forces soldiers, thus make the country defense collapsed. And it's my duty as secret weapon of Japan Police Forces to capture him, alive or dead." Sakuya seems fascinated when she heard that Outside World already improved this far after she comes to Gensokyo along with Remilia, to the point that every faction even has their secret weapons. That is, until Yasei interrupts her. "So, how's the result?" She decided to test him a little. "It depends. Do you have any trinkets with you?" Yasei then equips his pens to her surprise. "Is this count?" Sakuya equips her knives nevertheless. "That will do." Then they throw their trinkets at the same time. And they're even, as the pens and knives collided in midair!

Soon after that, Yasei remembers about what he must do. "Okay. Now where's Kazekage?" Sakuya pointed at the wardrobe. "There." He relieved, because he know what that means. "Thanks for the help Sakuya, though you could choose a better timing…" Sakuya secretly sighed. "It can't be helped. I got the order from my mistress. You do know who she is, I take it?" Now Yasei decided to tease Sakuya. "You bet. Hope you won't mind if I call her Remy." Sakuya is offended with that. "Hey!" But that's not only what he has in mind. "By the way, you're really beautiful with red eyes when declaring that spellcard, Sakuya." And that's what made Sakuya really lost her composure. (I won't say her reaction.)

What did our Gensokyo observers has to say?

Yukari is laughing hilariously. "Did you hear that? He calls you Remy!" It's Remilia's turn to be pissed. "Huft… That's quite insulting if it wasn't Pache who called me that…" Yukari finally slowed down. "Hehehe… That's quite a laugh I got. Well, what do you think?" Remilia sighed. "Since he is the strand holder, I don't think I can kill him. Rather, I already have another plan for him after he comes to Gensokyo." Interested with that, Yukari replies. "Quite a planner you are." Remilia smirks. "Don't think only you that can come up with plans for outsiders like him." Yukari smiles. "That makes us even, then. And I believe it's the time to pick him."

Back to Kazekage's Chamber…

Now Yasei worried about Sakuya. "Oh, that's right. Since you come from Gensokyo…" Sakuya replies. "You worried about how if we're being found out by Outside World residents?" That was close, but Yasei decides to not correct. "Actually, I mean you. But I suppose you could say it like that." A voice appears out of nowhere. "That can be solved." Sakuya sighed. "Here she comes…" And Yasei know what that means. "Yeah. Hey, Yukari. You were scouting me, right?" Amazed, Yukari decides to show herself. "You got that right, my boy… Ufufu…" It's Yasei's turn to sigh. "Look, I'm still on a mission, so unless you could make my resignation official, I can't come to Gensokyo." As always, he speaks directly. That only make Yukari's smile wider. "That won't be a problem." Yasei isn't surprised with that, thanks to his Gensokyo knowledge. "I know you would say that, but before it…" Sakuya reacts oppositely. "Wait, before what?" Seems only Yukari that knows what he means, as she took a notebook out of nowhere. "This, right?" Yasei nods, and he states his challenge. "Yep. Wait for me on my house. We will have a Hisoutensoku match, Yukari. Later." With that, he leaves. "What will you do now?" Sakuya asked, finally catching on their topics. "Teleports you back to SDM, and then I'll play this game with him." And Yukari teleports both her and Sakuya back to Gensokyo.

After a gap to Scarlet Devil Mansion…

Remilia is waiting for them on the foyer. Then she asked Sakuya. "So, how was it?" Sakuya made a brief report. "He's really strong. It's just like what you said, mistress." Remilia seems a little worried. "At least he didn't kill you." Sakuya seems confused. "What do you mean, mistress?" Remilia shrugged. "Nothing. Anyway, do your usual chores." Sakuya bows to Remilia. "Yes, mistress." And then she leaves. Seems Remilia found something new. 'Hmm… New strand has been formed on his fate… What an interesting boy. Look like he will be the main character for this grand story.' She giggles.

While Sakuya doing her chores…

'He didn't spot his target and me, yet he correctly deduct that I was the one who beat this Kazekage… He is even immune to my time manipulation.' Her thought got interrupted by another voice. "Still wondering about his conclusion that confirms our existence?" Sakuya know who's speaking, and seems bothered. "If you don't have anything to do right now, I suggest you to leave, Yukari." Not even flinched, Yukari made her move. "Maybe. Just so you know, he is apparently a friend of Sanae Kochiya when they were in school." Sakuya seems interested, knowing that Sanae is one of Touhou Top 4 and a former outsider. "No wonder. I never thought I could face that mountain shrine maiden's friend in Outside World..." Yukari prepared to leave. "And that concludes it. By the way, that boy already challenged me on Hisoutensoku match. Later." And she gone, swallowed by her gaps. (Teleport, you mean?) With a sigh of relief, Sakuya then resumes her usual chores. "Finally she leaves… Better continue this or mistress will be mad at me again…"

Next Chapter Preview…

Now that Yasei already know Gensokyo's existence, he don't have other choice but to go there, since it would be dangerous if he spread this fact. (Yasei : Like hell I'll do that!) (James : Sorry.) Kazekage is contained in his own wardrobe. (Yasei : I wonder why they don't fix that first…) And Yukari comes just when he about to report to his base. (Yasei : Darn you, Yukari… Good thing you accepted my challenge.) So, the next chapter will include some Hisoutensoku match. Look forward for it!

AN : Surprised to see the next chapter preview? I decided to give Yasei some freedom to comment in every new chapter previews that I made. If you notice, James is my real name. And I'm Indonesian. About the certain lawyer that Yukari mentioned, it's obviously Ace Attorney's main character, Phoenix Wright, or Naruhodo Ryuichi in Japan. InstaGimp already made a Fanfic that based from the series, and I'm also taking references from that Fanfic. And thanks to SKOOLATOON for the review and correction. I also viewed one of your Fanfic, Sendai Hakurei no Miko Mode. I'm very sorry if my Fanfic is low-graded. That's because I must work it from the script format I've made. And this chapter is written on the same manner. I'll try to fix that on next chapter. Tell me if I did some mistakes again. Reviews and critic is always welcomed. See you in the next chapter!
