Chapter 5: The Admin Who Meets Gensokyo's Admins
Whoa... where am I? "You remember Nue's promise to me, right, Mamizou?" asked a lady in a dress. Even though she was radiating an aura of power, Nascour tuned it out. He looked around. Taking a closer look at Mamizou, he noticed that Mamizou appeared to be female, with a long stripey tail, and had a leaf on her forehead. She wore glasses, and had a face that just screamed "Trickster" at you.
Wow. Who is this... Person? She's not human, that's for sure. She's like a combination of a Sentret or a Furret and a human. Nascour was still reeling at the fake guard and where he'd wound up.
"So you'll take care of him then? Good, that settles that. I'm not sure why Nue wanted him kidnapped, but if even half of what I've heard is true, I feel no sympathy for him." The lady was talking about his kidnapping as if it was another thing to check off her list. This made shivers run down his back.
Sweet merciful Arceus, who is this lady? What kind of crazy world is this? And what did they mean by "Take care of me?" Who's Nue?
"I imagine our guest is rather tired. Ran, Chen, please bring some food and tea. I'm kind of hungry, and I'm sure our guest hasn't had a proper meal in ages." she went on.
Nascour was confused. Food? What's with her? She feels no sympathy for me, and now she's offering food.
Rapping her umbrella against a chair, she said: "Please sit and dine with us while I explain the circumstances. Chen, how's the tea coming? Please excuse me for a second, Nascour."
Before he could react, she had gotten up and disappeared into another gap which opened up near her.
So she was the one who opened the hole in the courtyard. I don't know who she is, nor where I am. I had better tread carefully.
"Dinner's ready. Ran, Chen, you're being very rude. Please introduce yourself to our guest."
Behind her were... What kind of crazy place is this?!
"Hello. My name is Ran Yakumo. I serve my mistress, Yukari. She is the gap youkai of Gensokyo. A sage through and through." said... He wasn't sure what he was seeing. It looked like a girl, but she wore an odd dress, and... Are those fox tails? What is this person? And what are they going to do with me?
The other person came forward... at a high velocity. She slammed into his face, knocking him down. "Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii! I'm Chen! Chen Yakumo! We could have lots of fuuuun together! Yukari? Can we keep him, please? Please, Please, Pleeeeeease?"
What does she mean, keep me? And... Are those tails as well?
Chen froze up, just staring at him all of a sudden. The look in her eyes was completely vacant.
Things moved rather quickly. "Chen, no! You know you're not supposed to do that! Get away from him!" Ran shouted, throwing herself at Chen.
Yukari merely yawned. A gap opened in the ceiling above Chen, dropping a safe on her head. Ran got out of the way as it hit Chen, knocking her out.
"I apologize for my servant's rudeness and lack of self control. I ESPECIALLY apologize for her trying to turn you into a nekomata." Ran said.
"What's a nekomata?" Nascour said. Know thine enemy. Know thy surroundings. And mess with their head. A motto which had served him well in the past, and would hopefully serve him well here.
In answer, Ran pointed at Chen. "Her."
She was going to turn me... into another SPECIES?! What kind of crazy world is this? Someone obviously has plans for me... But at this rate, I'll die before they can carry them out!
"Enough. Sit down, and we'll talk about your future." Yukari said. "You might want to pay attention. Also, one last thing. Don't be a glutton. That's my job." Yukari laughed, before Ran came back with food. "Let's eat."
