Chapter 3-Summers warm welcome

It had been a few weeks since Xero first ended up in the land of Gensokyo and he had advanced far in patcholiuis magic lessions as he had finally mastered the dark arts and we now moving onto white and even green magic and he was more than equiped to handle the threats the furthest areas of gensokyo could offer.

Today Xero was visiting the moya shrine where he had meeten with Senae the local shrine maiden in the area who like xero orginally came from the outside world and they hit off a pretty good friendship as they shared a cup of tea together "you should have heard what does the fox say its a pretty kick ass sonic and makes you want to dance" xero smiled and sipped his tea "i miss the ipod it was pretty cool but there are no ways to charge the battrys here" seane sighed and it made xero think for a while he was pretty good in science and even studied it in school and college

"you know if I can get the tools Iam sure I could build a few outlets and I did learn how to build lan cables in my computing course and wires are mostly just the same thing in fact it could do wonders to make people in the human village more happy" xero said with joy

Xero got to work with senae as they builded a primative socket with wood and some make shift wires and using some magic stones he forged during his lessions he was able to create a very basic power source and senae was imprssed "you're pretty good at this stuff" she smiled and then the goddess came in as she looked imposing in her red dress and xero felt a bit nervous "Oh kanako how are you?" Senae asked "I'm fine but i'm interested in your friend." she said and smiled at xero as he felt even more nervous because this was a living god standing before him

"that is some pretty good skill you have there...you know i've been working to make more advances in science in gensokyo if you help me with some projects I could reward you greatly" kanako said and xero thought about it and accepted "Sure i'd be more than happy to help out around here kanako and the exprence would be useful too" Xero replied.

Senar beamed with happiness as she finally charged her old ipod and the songs where still saved it on as she listened to the fire and flames by dragonforce and did an air guitar motion "this rules thanks Xero" she smiled "i think the only sad part is we'd not be able to add new songs you know with the lack of internet here." Xero laughed.

Xero also charged up his own ipod and let senae listen to what does the fox say "you where right that song is really good!" she smiled.

Later that night Xero returned to the Scarlet devil mansion as he joined his mentor in the libery and she looked nervous "x..xero I want to tell you something..." Patchouli said "What is it?" xero asked and she hugged him tightly "I've never felt this way before for anyone...I've always had my heart closed off but for some reason I am drawn to you...I think I love you Xero." She sighed looking away.

And then Xero kissed her and they made out and softly dropped onto a sofa below as patchouli gave herself to xero and the night was somehow special as it was a sensation he had never felt before. After all she was a born mage and he was a human, very few from the outside world would ever know how that feels as they sealed there bond that night "Never leave me..." Patchouli smiled and they kissed again.

That moment was the greatest night in xeros life and a day he would never forget as he now had someone very close he wanted to protect and care for, not just a lover but also his teacher who gave him the wisdom and knowledge he needed to push towards his destiny that would lay ahead.

The next morning Sakuya made Xero breakfast which was potatto scones, eggs, bacon, black pudding and orange juice "thank you very much" he smiled and started eating his meal "Your welcome dear" sakuya said and left to tend to the mistress.

Xero then went out for his morning walk by the lake "think will go see kanie at the human village today he said to himself and went to the human village.

At the human village a crowd had gathered outside city hall and xero rushed to the front courious to see what was going on "what is going on?" xero inquired as a villager turned around "the mayor passed away last night so they elected a new one today" and he looked to the front and saw the new mayor being swored in by some japanese book "i major Mystia Lorelei swear to do my duty as ruler of the human village" she said and finished her oath and the crowd was puzzled because she was a bird like youkai.

The man turned to xero again "its a historic day the first youkai mayor of the human village, some say this may be a new age that bridges the gaps between our races" the man said.

Mayor Lorelei gazed at xero...there was something cold about her eyes and then she turned back to the cheering crowd as she waved her hand in the air at the adoring people "tomorrow there shall be a welcoming ceremony for me and there will be food and drinks too so i hope all my people will come, let us see this as a new age of human youkai cooperation." she said the the people.

The people looked happy and almost vacent in a way and Xero noticed she had a sing song voice to her "I'm happy there is going to be unity but something just seems off..." xero whispered to the man in front "I guess but i for one welcome the new age" he said.

It was then xero noticed a tengu with black hair and she looked kind of cute "oh hey your that outsider that came here, i'll totally need to get an interview with you later but anyway what do you think of all this?" she asked "i'm happy i guess but it seems so quick...what happened to the old mayor anyway?" Xero asked her "the reports said he died peacefully in his sleep" aya said "I'm aya be the way i work for the tengus newspaper" and she shook xeros hand.

Suddenly a voice came from behind "so xero we meet at last...I am Yukari and i think we should have a nice chat over some tea." She smiled.
