To reviewers that I can't reply too:

Nefer: I can only assume that she does because NTR did gave her a basic explanation on cars in CH 4.1 by telling her that they replaced horses. I definitely know that Akyuu knows what a horse is and everyone knows what happens when you get run over by a horse, so it's only fair for her to assume that cars will do the same exact thing if you don't get out of the way.

Omega11: Ah yes, there will never be a sexy time for my fanfics. I think the gods, mods, and admins probably frown on that sort of thing. Personally I definitely would say that Chapter 4 is definitely not my best work, I will admit that I was surprised that people still like it.

Textspeak: Actually, no because she lives outside of the village and she was already was already a youkai when Reimu and Marisa fought her when they met her for the first time.

Edits

Did some minor edits in previous chapters (1,2, and 4). Don't reread it unless you want too, it's only about the OC taking off his shoes and putting on slippers whenever he does indoors (I'm being serious here). I was assuming that most of my readers would know this already because OC is Asian.

I dunno how it's like for most Asians in America, but in my family, we still do take off our shoes and walk with slippers (barefooted in bedrooms).

Chapter 5

"Hmm..." I placed her final draft roughly an inch away from my eyes to double check, "I like it, when does the book come out?"

"Pfft!" I heard the sound of her covering her mouth.

"Yes, I know it's funny that I have to put my face right into the paper in order to read it."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She said as she placed the draft somewhere in the table, "It won't be out for quite awhile, there is still not enough information to make a book yet." Akyuu pulled out two books and an envelope from her table, "As a reward for helping me with this, here are the copies of Perfect Memento in Strict Sense and Symposium of Post-mysticism, I suggest you to read them to get a good idea on Gensokyo. The envelope contains 10600 yen, think of it as payment."

"I'd kill for a ebook version of these heavy books." I thought to myself.

My eyes lit up as soon as I touched the envelope, next thing I know, my vision is no longer blurry. The room is easier to make out now; the table is in fact a kotatsu, the chairs were actually bucket seats on the ground and I can clearly see a famous blue oval from an American car imprinted on the headrest, the floor is a tatami floor so walking in with socks made sense, and the walls and doors look like your typical traditional Japanese room, they're probably fragile and will break easily from a slash of a katana.

Akyuu quickly snatched the envelope away; My eyes returned to their dull state and I frowned because I can't see anything.

I heard some scribbling noises; it was Akyuu doing what she does best, "Hmm interesting, you temporary regain your eyesight with money."

"It's almost like Yukari is telling me that I can fix problems by throwing money at it; How American." I stated.

Akyuu sweat-dropped, "Well that's Yukari for you."

She handed back the envelope and I placed it my pocket. As soon as I touched the dough, my eyes regained their sights, but as soon as I placed it in my pockets, it became lifeless again. She escorted me towards the door, "The guard will help you walk out, I hope you enjoying living in Gensokyo."

We were about to walk, but then I heard 8-bit or 16-bit music from Akyuu's room, "So she listens to chiptunes." I thought to myself.

While the guard escorted me out, I quickly thought, "You know, I think I just made a really really bad decision. I need money to survive here, just like back in the outside world," I pulled out my phone, moved the damn thing until it was right in my face, and opened a currency converter app, "apparently 10600 yen is roughly 100 USD. Well shit, that's good for a week. Ha, there's a chance I'll probably die homeless before my eyes heal, just my luck." I thought.

"Ryugu-san," the guard's voice broke my attention and I looked up from my phone, "Put your shoes on, we're almost out, and please don't tell me you need help putting on shoes."

"Heh, my shoes are so different, even a nearly blind person can find them." I said in a over-confident voice and successfully put on my own shoes, "See? Real easy, all I had to do was put my feet on top of every sandal and shoes until I feel the correct one!"

The guard sighed and took me outside. The guard spoke, "Your next place is the Hakurei shrine, the shrine maiden there will need to perform a ritual to bind your soul to Gensokyo. As of right now, you are an official resident of the Human Village, but without the binding ritual, the spell card rules will have no effect on you."

The front gate opened and revealed a blurry image of the blue skies. I stepped out and saw the blurry outline of one familiar woman.

"Oh finished?" Her voice rang out and I instantly recognized that was Wakasagihime.

I nodded, "Yeah, by the way, what happen to that other person?"

"Do you mean Kagerou?" I nodded and she continued, "she flew over to your wagon thing. She saw Marisa and Keine fighting, so she decided to help out to minimize the damage."

"Ah shit" I thought.

I asked, "Can you bring me to my car? I'm going to move it." Immediately she lifted me up, last time she lifted me up by pulled my arm, this time it was bridal style much to my horror as we flew off.

Wakasagihime saw my blushing face, she looked away, "T-t-this embarrassing for me too, but it's easier!"

She started to gain speed, then we were flying fast towards my car, "Nelson, you need to hold on tight."

"Wait, why-" I see blurry angry colorful spheres flying towards us, "Never mind then!" I wrapped my arms around her neck as we maneuver through whatever that was. Normally this is where I ask questions, but right now I'm holding on for dear life. It was like a roller coaster, except we're dodging colorful spheres, stars, lasers, and such.

She slowed down and dropped me next to the driver's door. My knees were shaking, palms sweaty, and I said, "I hate roller coasters. No, don't ask what that is. More importantly, is my car alright and what the hell is going?"

The mermaid helped me stand up, "Your wagon..." there was a brief pause, "your car is alright. Right there's a spell card duel with Marisa against Keine and Kagerou."

"Wakasagihime? Nelson?" A weary voice rang out, it was Keine and she sounded like she was on the verge of collapsing, "Wait, Nelson don't look!"

"As much as I want to look, my vision begs me differ. If there was a naked person in front of me right now, then I won't even be able to tell the difference." I stated. I saw a blurry image rapidly flying towards Keine, "Something's behind you."

The blurry figure slammed into Keine and they both fell down.

Wakasagihime yelled, "Kagerou!"

A blurry figure landed nearby, "Yare yare daze~ I didn't even break a sweat fighting two youkais."

"That voice sounds like a young girl." I thought. I pulled out the money I earned from Akyuu, I wrapped one of the bills around my right pointer finger, and placed the rest in my pocket. My vision was now clear; right in front of me were the bodies of Keine and Kagerou, my face turned red; their clothes were torn up and revealed their curvy figures.

I did my best to look up at the figure standing in front of me. The said figure is a teenage girl with blond hair. She is dressed up as a witch, her broomstick, hat, and black and white clothes completely stand out from everyone here.

"Yo outsider, we meet again. I saw you when you drove in that wagon yesterday night." The witch gave a smirk that displayed overconfidence, "Name's Marisa Kirisame, I'm just your everyday ordinary magician ~da ze!"

"Nelson Tristan Ryugu, I'm just..." I remembered back to that interview with Akyuu, "I'm just a Japanese, but not so Japanese Outsider."

Marisa grinned, "Your name is too long, how bout I just call you NTR for short?"

I was petrified, "Noooooo, don't even think about it. Just call me Nelson."

The black and white witch did a head tilt, "Eh? Why not NTR?"

I whispered, "You don't know what NTR means?"

She shook her head.

I shouted, "Well just call me Nelson instead because I won't tell you!"

"I'll keep calling you NTR until you tell me ~ze." A light blub appeared above Marisa, "I got it, if I beat you in a spell card duel, I'll get to borrow that wagon of yours AND you tell me the meaning behind NTR!"

I got in a cool stereotypical anime pose like in one of those shonen animes and declared, "And as a responsible adult, I'll protect your innocent minds from learning the meaning of that word!"

"Wait what's a spell card..." I looked at the two hot bodies and my face was paled, "Shit, I'm going to die and end up half-naked just like them!" I thought.

All around us a crowd started to form, it was as if this was a gladiator match back in the Roman days. One very noticeable person in the group of onlookers was a shrine maiden with green hair.

Wakasagihime stepped up in front of me, "Nelson-kun, I'll fight on your behalf."

My eyes widen as soon as she said that; shy people like her are unpredictable because they'll do things most people won't expect when the time calls for it. Immediately I pulled her, or at least tried to because youkais are stronger than humans, "W-w-wait, you saw happened Keine and Kagerou; you could end up just like them."

Her face was blushing, "That's something, that I just have to accept if I lose." She gave me a sad smile as if she had accepted her tragic fate, "Nelson-kun, thank you for being my friend, we will meet again right?"

"Wait!" A voice shouted out from the crowd, "I'll joining the mermaid!"

The voice belonged to the shrine maiden with green hair. She had a snake accessory around one side of her green hair. Her white and green outfit resembled Reimu's outfit.

She held out her hand and we both shook hands. Her eyes were brimming with energy and life as she spoke, "Hi Nelson, I'm Sanae Kochiya. Don't worry as my duty as a shrine maiden and a fellow outsider, I'll do my best to stop her from learning the true meaning of NTR!"

Sanae gave me a wink, "Oh and if we win, you need to teach me how to drive. My only regret for leaving the outside world is not getting my license."

Marisa rolled her eyes, "So me against, NTR, Sanae, and Wakasagihime? Well don't expect me to go easy on you now!"

Sanae and Marisa took off, Wakasagihime stayed behind briefly, she pointed north at a building on a hill outside the village, "Nelson, do you see that shrine on the hill? If we win, I'll meet you at the Hakurei Shrine. Just be careful there are youkai living outside the village."

I pressed the button on my key fob to unlock the Honda CR-V. I started her up and shouted, "Don't get yourselves killed!" I drove off and I saw Wakasagihime's confused expression as she took off to help Sanae.

As I drove by houses, I got strange looks from many of the villagers because it was the first time they ever saw something like this and I'm lost. I spotted a samurai, he wore a red and white robe, and had his purple hair in a long ponytail. I pulled up next to him, "Excuse me sir," he looked me, "can you show me how to get to the Hakurei Shrine?"

A feminine voice was heard and I realized that he was a she, "Just follow this road until you reach the biggest intersection, then make a right. You can't miss the intersection because it's the only road that can fit your wagon." She bowed at me, "My name is Meira, outsider."

"Call me Nelson, and thanks!" I drove off.

I reached the intersection and it was as big as a typical city intersection. There were cops directing wagons, horse, and people in different directions. One of the cops standing in the middle saw my car, we made eye contact and he looked confused and bewildered. Well actually, everyone was bewildered because it's not everyday they see a horseless carriage.

"Oh right." I muttered and flicked on the right turn signal.

The cop stopped the traffic and allowed me to turn. The path up ahead is a straight-away with a lot of people and wagons. It seems like the northern entrance is also home to the village marketplace. My speed was already slow to begin with at 10 mph, but now I have to tap the breaks to avoid running people over. There was so many people, it was as if my SUV was a boat, and everyone was the ocean.

A vein popped on my forehead, "For god's sake."

Beep Beep!

I press the horn twice, "Jesus, it's like a third world country here." I muttered. I look at the rearview mirror and saw that accursed witch approaching me, "Crap."

Suddenly the car went over a bump and my vision is blurry again. The feeling of money wrapped around my finger was gone; it probably fell off. I looked at the rearview mirror and didn't see any blurry forms of that witch. Whatever, it doesn't matter, I rather not be vaporized by that witch and die. I pulled out my phone, glanced at the picture of Wakasagihime, and thought to myself, "Why in the world did you just volunteered to fight her and die?"

I took a deep breath, unlocked my seat belt, and reached for the door handle because at this rate, it is unsafe for me to drive without glasses or that strange money trick. Technically I can pull another bill, but what if it falls off while I am driving in the middle of youkai land? Or what if I just take advantage of this strange ability and my eyesight gets worse and worse until I'm completely blind without the sight of money?

I opened the door.

Bam!

The door smack into something hard. "Oh shit, did I hit someone?" I thought out-loud. I look down and prepare to apologized, but I quickly stopped; the unconscious person on the floor is a witch dressed in black and white.

Clap, clap, clap

The slow sound of one person clapping was heard, this was followed by dozens more. A samurai shouted out, "Did my eyes deceived me? Did an outsider just beat Marisa?" Immediately, nearly everyone stopped what they were doing just to check what just happened.

A person landed in front of me, I can't see her, but the blurry form of something that's red and white made it fairly obvious, "Reimu is that you?"

"Of course it's me! Are you blind are something?" she said in an annoyed tone.

"Why yes I am, someone borrowed my glasses." I said as I stepped out of the car.

"Oh, so it made perfect sense for you to beat up Marisa. Ummm, good job I guess?"

"It was actually Yukari." I pointed at Marisa, "And you need to do something about this nutjob, she killed Keine and the others!"

Everyone in the village went quiet, "Was she shooting colorful balls?" the shrine maiden asked.

I nodded.

"You do know that those are harmless and the most damage they'll do is tear down your clothes right?"

"Oh..." There was an awkward silence, "Wait, but that doesn't explain why they were knocked out then!"

Immediately I was hit in the head with a red fireball thing, the force threw me on to the ground. Reimu stood over me, but I can't tell what her facial expression is, "There, I hit you in the head with danmaku, are you dead yet?"

Her voice came out as rather pissed off, kinda like she had better things to do. I shook my head, it appears that all spells are set to stun here.

Reimu grabbed my hand and yanked me up, "C'mon, I need you to my shrine. You, me, and Yukari are going to have a long nice relaxing talk."

I'm going to pretend it's not the groping incident and pretend to be dumb, "Fine by me, I was going to head there in the first place, but can I ask why?"

"We're holding hands right?"

I slowly nodded.

"What does it feel like?"

I looked at our hands, "It feels like I'm hold my own hand."

Reimu started to pull me, "Exactly, I was gonna put this aside when we first met, but this just screams out Yukari's work."

"Naw, you just wanted to go to sleep ~ze. That noise was really loud you know."

I turned my head and saw Marisa, I couldn't see her face, "Yo Nelson, good job, luck was on your side ~ze!"

"Marisa, shut up." Reimu said in an annoyed tone. She pulled me even harder and moments later she lets go, "Nelson, you know what? I give up, you're too heavy."

"Wait what are you trying to do?" I asked.

"We were gonna fly to my shrine, but you're too heavy."

"That's because Reimu's a human; if she was a youkai, this would be no problem ~ze!" She picked up her broom, "I'll just fly back towards the schoolhouse to let everyone know who won, I'll catch up to you guys later."

Marisa flew off and I heard Reimu mumbled, "God damn it Marisa, you just wanted to leave before I asked you to help me lift him."

"Reimu, I do have my car." I pointed at my Honda CRV.

"Oh, that metal thing?" She walked around the car and was looking for a way in. I opened the front passenger side and ushered her in.

"Alright, I need you to be my eyes because I can't see a damn thing."

She exasperated, "Huuhhh? Are you serious? The road to my shrine is a straight line."

"Potholes are a car's worse enemy, the tires aka the 4 black circles you see outside are expensive to replace." I said as I received Vietnam flashbacks of me driving to the nearest tire shop and leaving with a lighter wallet.

Reimu does a head tilt, "Potholes?"

"They're these random small holes in the ground and the wheels can get stuck in them." I gently kicked one of the tires, "These are made out of rubber and air, so they'll probably pop."

She gets into the car, "Yeah, yeah, let's just go already. The gravel roads here are not that bad, besides, didn't you drove to the village yesterday from the Scarlet Devil Mansion?"

"Touche" I thought to myself because she's right. I started up the car, "You know what? You're right."

The car approaches the gate, the guards noticed an incredibly bored shrine maiden riding shotgun, and immediately opened the gate.

Unlike the last time I drove to the village, I took a page off of the Australians; drive faster on rough roads because the car will fly over the potholes.

The drive was very quiet, "Reimu, say something." I asked.

"What is there to say? There's no potholes." Reimu said in a bored voice, "You didn't even need a guide."

"Ahem, hello? I'm like blind here."

"That's your problem, not mine." She stated.

Bump bump

The car hit a minor bump, "That was a pothole!" I yelled in panic.

"No it was a fairy, don't worry they're immortal." the shrine maiden noticed something, "you can stop, we have to walk from here."

We both got out of the car and I locked it.

I looked at the blurry form of Reimu, "We're close now right?"

The shrine maiden nodded, "Up ahead is a hill and there is a flight of stairs."

"How long is the stairs?" I asked as I squint my eyes as an attempt to see better.

Reimu hovered in the air, "I don't know, I never bothered because I can fly. Good luck Nelson." And she flew off.

"You gotta be fucking kidding me..." I muttered to myself. I had to suck it up and climb my way up these stairs.

"You know, I feel sorry for her worshipers." I said to no one around me.

State of things

Back in the first chapter, I stated that this will be my first fanfic (That's more than one chapter) with no outline because I wanted to see how it'll go. Well personally I think that the story was going south because I just realized that I will lose all motivation to write (Writer's block). An outline would at least give me a clear view on how I want this story to end in case I forget. The reason why chapter 5 took awhile is because I spent the rest of that time making an outline.
