A/N: Ahh, for those that don't read DoP (Which you totally should because it gives insight into the past of Gensokyo at times, and is quite cute at other times.) I've been focusing on it for a bit, so as to hit 100 chapters! Well, I hit 100 chapters, so now I'll start this back up! On with the show!
Morning, Shrine, Mima's PoV:
I know you seem the most... sensible of the pair of Hakurei Maidens, so I'll entrust this note to you. I have left all of you with gifts which you will find in your respective rooms.
Mima, I've given a part of myself to you, and your sister... I gave you each a massive helping of Youki, and then turned it into holy energy, as I need you two to remain human. Had I left it as Youki, you would have both turned into Youkai! We can't have that, now can we?
Anyways... On to the gifts...
For you, Mima, the reasonable one, I have left a knife; this knife is quite the weapon, and the things it cannot cut are next to none. Long ago, it was forged by a skilled Youkai of the Konpaku clan. It's probably been about... ohh... 400 years since I had it made; I knew I would be needing to equip a human in the future, so I used a few favors and had it made. It's genuine Konpaku quality steel, which is a rather meaningless thing among humans, but there is no finer smith than a Konpaku, even if they don't admit it freely.
For that sister of yours, who can drink far more than I expected, I left a set of unending throwing needles, as well as a book on how to use them. They cannot physically harm others, but they do cause far greater pain than ordinary weapons. I thought long and hard on what to call them, but drew a blank, so I never named them! They are quite effective, if one learns how to use them.
And finally, for that bubbly little Youkai of Darkness, I give the greatest gift of all; I bestow upon her the name Rumia, which is based off of the english word Luminous, and suits her quite well, if you ask me.
...Okay, I also gave her a sword I dug out of my closet. It was made by an Oni blacksmith by the name of... I can't remember her name, actually. She was chinese, though, and I'd never seen a Chinese oni before, so I became curious as to how skilled a smith she was! Poor thing lost her horn, and as such, was kicked off the Oni mountain, so I also felt a bit bad for the girl... Anyways, long story short, I had her craft me a blade of the finest quality she could muster, and it ended up rivaling Konpaku steel! I was shocked, to say the least! ...The thing's damn heavy, though.
I also left an umbrella behind, as I've... outgrown it. It was cute back when I bought it, but I soon outgrew the rather unique look it has, and decided it would make a fine umbrella for you three! Enjoy~!
Once I had finished reading the note, I went to go and grab the aforementioned knife; it's best to keep such a thing close to you at all times, right? What's the point of owning a knife to defend yourself, if you don't keep it close at all times so that you can... you know, defend yourself?
I looked about in my room, finally finding it in my closet, simply floating there in a sheath.
...That's not a knife, that's a dagger! That thing's quite the weapon, and as soon as I grasped the hilt, the blade began to glow with dark energy. I dropped the blade in surprise, and it narrowly missed my foot, stabbing strait through the floor. Dammit! We just fixed that, too! Ohh well, I guess a single hole in the floor won't harm anything, right...?
"...Nice job, Mima, way to wreck the place just after repairing it." I heard the sweet voice of Yukari behind me, and quickly spun around, finding nobody there.
"...Ehh?" I looked about, wondering if I had somehow imagined that, before turning back around, finding the hole in the floor gone, and the knife once more sheathed.
I couldn't help but look about nervously, afraid that someone would jump out at me. I grabbed knife once more, being sure not to un-sheath it, as that energy it released looked rather... dark, and began looking around in the closet for some sort of belt. Once I had located a rather sturdy looking leather belt, which I had never seen before, I secured the knife to my hip.
I jumped a few times, so as to make sure it wouldn't fall, and grinned happily to myself.
Finally I'm not 100% helpless, should some Youkai want to eat me!
I began to set upon the task of making breakfast, finding the usual steak, as well as a tiny chuck extra; could it be Yukari had left is, as she somehow knew I was curious about it, but wouldn't eat food meant for another?
...That Youkai can seem like some sort of omniscient god at time, with all the things that she seems to supply just as we desire them.
Ohh well, down the hatch, I suppose.
I popped the tiny cube of meat in my mouth, and began to chew. Huh. I never would have thought that human flesh would be so... sweet...
Interesting.
"My, you sure are a curious one, huh? Looks like I may have to start suplying you three with even more meat~!" Yukari began to hug me from behind, her breasts pressing into me rather firmly.
"Ehehe... I'm good! I was just curious, that's all!" If I said yes, that would mean that more people would die, obviously. While I don't particularly care if my fellow man is eaten by Youkai, I do care if said death was because of me.
"Hmm... Really? If you say so... But, human flesh is quite addictive, as you may find out if you 'try' it too often." It's really quite awkward to discuss such an odd subject.
"...I'll be fine. I'm no Youkai." Yukari giggled at this.
"What is the true difference between a Youkai and a Human? You blur that line just a bit, with the way you act... I'm sure you'll be the most popular human in this land of Youkai I'm creating~!" The breasts that were once pressing into my back, and their owner, disappeared before I could respond properly. ...How does she do that...?
With a sigh, I began to cook some rice, while my stomach growled a bit.
Breakfast went rather normally, after I had woken up the pair of drunks, save for Rumia giving me a knowing giggle; she obviously knew that I had tried human flesh in full this time, not just licking it, as I had before.
