"WE ARE SURROUNDED, PROBABILITY OF ESCAPE: 8.21 PERCENT, EXTREME UNLIKELINESS" Said the Venetian
"No shit Tinman" I responded back.
"Plyush-san why is everyone here?" Usami asked me.
"Saying it's a long story would be a lie given this just happened in a span of mere hours." I said to Usami.
I then noticed the girls behind the Venetian, who initially were inside my base in the first place.
"Who are you people inside my place?" I said to them, "What gives! Getting inside other people's homes?"
"Don't play us that card, where the ones here with the questions!" one of the girls said.
"HEY! We found him first" Reimu said, "He's coming with us!"
"You will pay the consequences for messing with the strongest of all Gensokyo!" Remilia said too.
"Nuh uh!" said the blonde girl, " he stole from us and he is paying up!"
"No way Moriya! He wrecked my place and he is not gonna escape my graze!" Reimu responded to the blonde girl, guess her name is Moriya?
"You think your little shrine is more important than stealing from the Goddess herself? He is coming with US!" Said the purple haired woman.
"Both of you think you are gonna take the runt with you?" Remilia interrupted both, "He wrecked MY precious mansion and if it means that he will lick every individual piece of glass in the ground, HE WILL! He is MINE!"
Everyone is then discussing and yelling at each other, arguing who was going to be the first to lay hands on me. The intruders in my place where bent to interrogate me, the girls from the mountain shrine wanted repayment from the wooden boards I stole, Reimu was mad about me wrecking her door, and Remilia was for sure hellbent on making me her pet and humiliate me after Venetian broke her windows.
The argument went on for a minute now with voices interrupting each other every second, I got so tired that I went on and did a classic to gain everyone's attention:
I pulled my revolver out of my pants, pointed it at the sky, and pulled the trigger.
The loud bang echoed into the walls of the mountains and into the open world. Everyone finally stood quiet and fixed their eyes upon me, Usami ducked down in reaction, and Venetian just looked at me unamused.
A silence ensued everyone as I still held my gun in the air.
"It appears we have reached a conflict of interests," I exclaimed so everyone could hear me, "and said interests appear to be directed towards me"
"Fighting is gonna ensue more shitshow, believe me, I was in the war business, so I devised a plan, a plan that will benefit every single one in here who has a bone to pick with me, no pun intended."
I look down upon my feet and I see a scared Usami covering her ears, and then I look upon the Intruders.
"And I shall answer your questions, In the conditions you leave Usami alone." I said towards both of them
"Now if everyone here wants to cooperate, let's head inside my pillbox so we can discuss extra details, ok?" I said to everyone.
Their reactions were a mix of looks that said "what is this guy talking about" and "what should we do?"
"I agree," said the Blonde woman beside Reimu, "Since you have inadvertently caused troubles, and as you see it without intention nor spite, it seems that the logical step is to fix things up."
"We don't want any trouble do we? I shall be the mediator to the terms everyone proposes and I shall see if they are fit to apply to 's offer. Do we have a deal?"
The blonde woman finished and waited for answers, everyone was now looking at each other in a piercing gaze and silence so thick, it felt choking.
"Deal" Reimu broke the silence
"Deal, I guess." said Marisa too.
"As long as keeps his word, I accept his offer" Remilia said
one by one, everyone accorded to hear my plan and proceeded towards the pillbox
"Hold on in there for a bit, I got something to say to Usami." I said to all.
"Hurry up then!" Said Reimu.
"Reimu please." said the blonde woman, "Whatever things you need to clear to her, do what you must, but do not keep us waiting."
"Sure, um…" I long my words, I haven't asked for her name yet
"Yukari, Yakumo Yukari." She responded to my inquiry.
"I won't take long." I finally said before I went towards Usami's direction, Usami was already standing up.
"Hey, you ok? Did they harm you?"
"No, I'm fine, just a bit shaken up" She responded as she shook off the snow in her skirt.
"Good, because I have no idea what I am gonna do." I said to her in a desperate tone
"Wait, what about your plan?" she asked
"I just said that so they left you alone, I'm pretty much involved in thai mess and you must not be part of any of this whatsoever" I said, in which she looked surprised and blushed a tiny bit
"That's… thank you."
"But I talked way before I thoughted, so I gotta think something up now!" I said to her
She giggles in response. "You really are an idiot"
"That's a possibility," I joked in response.
"I TOOK ANALYSIS ON THE SITUATION, AND PREDICTING YOUR ACTIONS YOU STATED, THE BEST SOLUTION IS TO MAKE UP FOR IT" The Venetian said to both of us.
"Who's your friend here?" Usami asked me
"Friend is a very broad term, I just met him 5 hours ago today."
"MY NAME IS VENETIAN, PLEASURE TO MEET YOU MISS…" He said as he waited for a response.
"Renko Usami, with Usami is just fine." she responded to the Venetian, In which he responded by slightly bowing down his back towards her.
"So… what's the plan?"
