It is another normal day, you and Reimu (mostly you) has finish cleaning around the shrine. Reimu decide that today is a wonderful day to relax, and it would be a waste to not do so. She asks you to brew some tea and bring out the snack as she walks towards the porch. You do so, preparing the tea. When you finish, you bring the tea and teacups out with a tray of leftover dango from yesterday to the porch, where Reimu is currently sitting, taking in the warm sun. Suddenly, you hear a noise, coming from a distance. You turn your head to find the source of the noise and looking at the entryway of the shrine, you found it. In the distance, you see a silhouette slowly coming in. At first, you thought it was Marisa, coming in to mooch off of you but then, you see another silhouette behind the first one. You and Reimu wait for the silhouette to come closer. Upon it coming closer, you can finally make out what the silhouette said,
"Reeeeeeeiiiiiiimmuuuuu," one the silhouette screams out. Slowly, the two stops in front of the shrine. On closer look, it's two fairies that stops in front of you and Reimu. The fairy standing in front has aqua-colored eyes, blue-ish short hair. She wears a blue ribbon on her head, a white blouse, blue jumper dress and a red ribbon, tied on her neck. On her back, you can see icicle-shaped wings. Behind her, however, has short green hair with yellow ribbon, tied to her neck. She wears a blue dress with white trim and sleeves, golden wings rest on her back.
"Today, will be the day! Eye'll show you the power of the strongest!" the fairy in front confidently said, her hands rest on her hips.
Reimu sighs. "Can we not do this today? It's such a beautiful day today and I deserve this break."
"No! It has to be today! The strongest me is the most strongest today! Fight me, Reimu!" the fairy points at Reimu.
"How many times has this made? How annoying… Anyways, pour me a cup, this'll be over real quick," Reimu stands up and brings out her ofuda "I'll show you what happen when someone mess with my breaks". With that said, Reimu and the fairy will begin the danmaku.
*sips* "Aaahh~ Nothing like a good cup of tea to quell a minor annoyance" Reimu happily said, drinking her tea on the porch.
When Reimu said it'll be over quick, she means it. The battle didn't even last five minutes. The fight begins with the fairy shooting her bullets at Reimu, with Reimu gracefully graze around it. When you thought that Reimu would get hit by it, the bullet passed through her, leaving her unscathed. She breezes through the hail of bullet, elegantly pass as a dancer would, inching closer and closer to the fairy. You have seen this multiple times with her battling Marisa, but it still sends your heart thumping, seeing how elegant yet powerful in the way Reimu fight. Feeling cornered, the fairy then uses her spell card, Reimu had no problem skirting around the barrage of ice-like bullet from the fairy. Reimu start on her attack when the fairy has exhaust all of her option and easily hit the fairy that tries to dodge Reimu attacks. After the fight, the fairy exclaims 'Th-this one doesn't count! Next time, Reimu!' and flies off, the other fairy impishly follows behind her. To say that this is a fair fight would be wrong, this is a one-sided match with Reimu in the lead. You did feel bad for the fairy but there's nothing you could do right now. Also, you haven't met the two fairies yet. Curios, you ask Reimu who they were.
"Hm? Oh, her? She's the idiot fairy." Reimu answers. Well, that wasn't very nice.
"It's not like that. Fairies are rather simplistic. The only thing on their head is how to have fun and they usually shows it by pranking others, just look at Clownpiece. The one that kept screaming that she's the 'strongest' is Cirno. She's a fairy that able to manipulate ice. Because I kept on beating her over and over, she put me as a target to get back her title of 'the strongest'. Of course, that'll never happen." Reimu sips her tea "But, if she fought other fairies, she might be the strongest."
Oh, I see, you say. Wait, then who's the one behind her? you ask.
"Hmm? Oh, yeah. That's…" a long pause. Reimu took a sip of tea. "Anyway, I think it's time you go back to work, you rest plenty already." Reimu said.
Wait, you haven't told me who that is y-
"I think it's a good time to work, isn't that right, Mr 'I-can-be-the-right-man-for-you'?" Reimu jokingly said.
That's a low blow Reimu. You only said that once in a spur of the moment and now she won't let it go. You blush and restart your cleaning, a snickering Reimu can be heard behind you.
The next day, you're on your way to the Scarlet Devil Mansion. You're going to return some of the books – that Marisa 'borrows' – back to Patchouli so that she could teach you magic. Although, no new development has been made, you still won't give up. If they won't give up on you, you won't give up either. On the path to the SDM, you need to circle around the Misty Lake. Rumour has it that there is a Loch Ness monster, reside inside the lake. Passing through, you see two familiar faces playing near the shore: it's the two fairy that came by yesterday. The one in blue, Cirno, is sleeping – a flower crown adorned her head - while the other fairy is making a flower crown. You decide to greet the two, as you couldn't do so yesterday. You walk up to the two and the (flower making) fairy notice you. She gives you a small head bow, and slowly shake Cirno to wake her up.
"Cirno, Cirno, wake up," the small fairy shakes.
"Hmmm, what is it, Dai?" Cirno groggily wakes up. Cirno slowly rubs her eyes and turn her head to meet yours. She tilits her head. "Hm? Who are you?" You explain that you are a resident at the shrine. You saw the two at the shrine yesterday but wasn't able to properly greet them.
"Oh, hi," Cirno responds. Silence. "So, what do you want?" Cirno asks.
You ask that if you could hang out with them sometimes. In the pursuit of getting stronger, you don't think that this will make you stronger, however, meeting new people, you will inevitably meet stronger people. Even if that fails, having connection is another form of strength… you think.
"Sure! What do you wanna play today?" Cirno slowly gets up. Oh no, not today. You tell Cirno that you have to go to the SDM today to return these books.
"Books?" Cirno tilts her head. You show her one of the books that you are retuning 'Chemistry of the heart: How to capture anyone's attention!'. With a title like that, you wonder why the SDM library has such a book. Maybe they collect any books to their library.
"I wanna read it!" Cirno holds out her hand. You ponder for a moment. This book doesn't belong to you, but it should be fine if you stay for a bit and humour her. You give Cirno the book.
Cirno take the book and start opening it. "Hm, hm" she slowly starts reading and flipping the pages. A few second later, she closes the book and hand it back to you. "Well, if you have time, come play with us" Cirno happily said.
? You ask Cirno if she doesn't want to read the book anymore in which she replies,
"The strongest me is tired today. C'mon Dai, let's play over there," Cirno then start running. Dai stands up, give a little bow, "Wait for me, Cirno" and follows Cirno. You wave goodbye to the two fairies and make your way to the SDM.
Three days later, you and Rumia are heading to the Misty Lake. You have been going daily towards the Misty Lake in search of Cirno and Dai but to no avail. Luckily, you meet up with Rumia and she is heading towards the two. You ask Rumia if you can follow her, and she happily agrees. So, you are following behind Rumia to the Misty Lake. There, you spot several people playing in the area. You count and there is exactly five people – or to be more specific, fairies – there. Two of the fairies are Cirno and Dai while the other three are the Fairies of Light.
"Cirno~! Dai~! I'm here~" Rumia calls the two.
Cirno and Dai turn their heads around and wave "Oh Rumia! You're here," you and Rumia walk until the two of you stands in front of Cirno and Dai, "We're still deciding on what to play today," Cirno head turns towards you, "You wanna join too?"
Sure, you say to Cirno. You did say that you'll play with them whenever you have the time and here you are, with free time to spare.
"Great. Oh, but we have to wait. Luna, Star and Sunny are still deciding on what we'll be doing today. I suggest that we freeze some frogs, but they rejected it."
"That's because only you can do that, Cirno" Dai responds.
While talking to Cirno and Dai, you can audibly here the discussion from here. You turn your head to look at the Fairies of Light. You can make out what the activities they want to do today: one of them wants to find some beetles (Sunny), one wants to find some flowers (Star) and the other one wants to find some mushroom (Luna). In the end, they reach a consensus: to join all the activities into one and turn it into a competition.
"Alright, Cirno, Dai! We're making a competition on who can find the best"
"beetle," "flower," "mushroom,"
the three simultaneously say. They turn their body and faces Cirno, "After finding them, we'll meet up here so that we can compare – "the fairy that able to refract light stops when she sees you "- Gah! It's the human from the shrine! Star, why didn't you say anything!"
"If we just went with my idea, I would have been able to focus. Besides, if you have just refract light, the human wouldn't even notice us," the fairy that able to detect sound sarcastically says.
"What was that?" the two starts.
"Sunny, Star, stop!" the fairy that able to mute (surrounding) yell, "We have something else to focus on," Luna points to you. The three fairies of light have their guard up on you. Well, you wouldn't blame them after the three got yelled at by Reimu. You might have joined in on the scolding as well at the time, because it does happen to you at the time. You say to three of them that you're not here to scold them, but rather join in on their activities. The three looks at each other before Sunny speaks,
"You're not mad at us?"
You would be lying if you're not mad at the incessant prank that they have done to you, but after seeing them get scolded by Reimu that one time, you now relate to them. You know how fun and dangerous it is to prank Reimu, but your body refuses to stop. It's like a weird kind of drug. You say that you've forgiven them, and that today you only want to play with them. The three of them look at each other, then Sunny says,
"Well, the past is the past. Anyway, you joining too?" she ask. You nod. "Great. Now, it's time to begin the competition. Seeing that this is your first time, I'll be generous and show you the best spot to find them."
"It's this way!" "That way!" "Over there!"
the three simultaneously say, pointing at three different directions. The three glares at each other, before moving in the direction that they point.
"Hmph! I'll show you how the strongest does it! C'mon, Dai, let's go!" Cirno rushes forward, Dai following her from behind. You start moving forward too when you notice that Rumia is nowhere to be seen. When did she move? you wonder, but there's no time to waste. The competition has already begun and there is no way you're losing to a bunch of fairies (and Rumia). You move forward, rushing to find the three items.
After a while, everyone is back at the start, carrying different things in their hands. Starting off with Cirno, who brought a frozen frog in her hand, which disqualifies her. Dai brought out a red flower that she found when Cirno was busy finding frogs to freeze, Rumia, however, brought an unidentified meat (which also disqualifies her). When you ask where she get the meat from, she smiles and point to the direction of the SDM. She also tries to share the meat with everyone, in which everyone refuses, prompting the darkness youkai to eat the meat alone. Now, is your turn to present the things you have. You manage to get some weeds, a half-eaten apple and a snail you found frolicking. You thought that being in the forest, these things might be easier to find and how wrong you are. But, hey, this has to count for something right? The three unanimously agrees to disqualify you.
Only the three of them left. The first one to present her finding is Sunny,
"Hmph! I'll show you a winner!" Sunny puts out her hand, a small black beetle rest on her palm. Judging by the size and colour, you think that's a Dung Beetle. You saw a picture of it in one of the Insect Encyclopedia in Marisa's house. She further solidifies your speculation when she said she found it with a clump of ball. Next, is Star's turn,
"Hmph! Don't be too surprised!" Star brings out a prickly green plant from a potted plant. The plant has spikes all over the body and when you look at it, it reminds you of the desert. Wait, that's just a potted cactus. She said that she found this lying on the floor, topple over. It is surprising seeing a cactus in this place. Lastly, Luna's turn,
"Hmph! I know I'll win," Luna pulls out few mushrooms that she gathers. Most of the mushroom that she collected are brightly coloured with spots around them. You feel like the mushrooms that she gathers are dangerous. There is one mushroom that you know, is the HappiShroom. It has a red coloured body, with two spots on top and a crescent shape on the middle, resembling a smiling face. You remember hearing Marisa said that she fed someone – who uses masks to show emotion because she's expressionless – and she starts grinning and laughing uncontrollably. The effect lasted for a week. You shudder imagining the torture that the person experience.
After everyone has finish presenting their items, the three fairies start to bicker, giving points on why they should be declare the winner. You protest at first, saying that you should be the winner, seeing that you brought three items while they only brought one thing, but are quickly dismissed due to the fact that no one brought anything remotely similar to the competition (except for Dai but she gladly let them decide the winner). You now wait for the three to finish. Bored, Cirno is finding more things to freeze while Dai watch over Cirno. Rumia is nowhere to be seen again. Thinking that this discussion won't end, you hear a familiar voice from above,
"That's an interesting group." You turn your head up and see someone hovering over a broom: it's Marisa. She slowly descends in front of you. You say hello and ask her what she's doing here.
"Hey. Well, I was heading to the Scarlet's Library. Going to borrow some books, but then I heard your voice and the group you were with, and it look interesting. And, here I am, aren't you glad to see me?" Marisa grins. You're always happy to see her. You tell Marisa what's going on here and ask her to please stop borrowing the books from the Scarlet's Library. Every time you went there, you get an earful from Patchouli. Marisa just laughs. Then says,
"I see. You're going to be here all day if you don't take the initiative," she moves forward to the fairies of light, "Oooii, what are you guys doing?" she asks the fairies of light.
"Oh, it's Marisa. Marisa, tell Luna and Star that my beetle is better!"
"No, you should tell Sunny and Luna that this cactus is better."
"Obviously, these mushrooms are better. Star and Sunny doesn't appreciate quality mushrooms."
"Alright, alright. Let's see what we have here," Marisa begins to look at the item the three fairies bring.
In the end, the competition ends with a draw. Marisa says that everything the fairies bring have their charm to them. The three fairies seem to be okay with the result, so they leave it as that. Marisa takes some of the mushroom off Luna by saying that almost all of them are poisonous. The three fairies of light had their fun, and they leave to find the next thing to do. They say their goodbyes to you, Marisa, Cirno and Dai as they left. Cirno and Dai decide to head elsewhere as well, and they say their goodbyes too. Now, it's only Marisa and you left. Marisa stuff the mushroom that she receives into her hat. Then, she faces you.
"Did you have fun today?" Marisa asks, smiling. You do. Seeing that everyone has already left, you say your goodbyes to Marisa and start heading to the shr-
"Now, now. What's the rush?" Marisa stands in front of you. "The sun is still up. It's a shame to go home now." Well, Marisa is busy, so you don't want to take more of her time. "Ahahahaha, that can wait. Now then," she slings her arm around your shoulder, "I hear that you confess to Reimu. Care to share?"
Wh-what? I did not confess to her. Who told you that? you ask.
"The girl herself. I went to the shrine last night; you were fast asleep. We had a couple of drinks and that's when Reimu start saying you 'confess' to her and what not, her face beaming when she tells her story. Now, why don't you fess up, or this mushroom will be your snack today?" she holds out a Happishroom in her hand, pushing it up your face. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, you decide to tell Marisa what happen that day.
"That's it?" the armed magician asks. That's it. You tell her about the day with Rumia and how you – in the heat of the moment – said that. Sure, Reimu is a nice girl and all, but you can't say that to your hero. That would be uncalled for. Marisa stays silent for a while before laughing.
"Ahahaha. That's it? Phew. When I heard how Reimu tells it, I thought I don't have a chance anymore,"
Huh? What did Reimu say?
"It doesn't matter. Don't worry about it," the magician says, putting away the HappiShroom in her hat. When she says not to worry about it, it has the opposite effect. Now you're more curious about it, but Marisa probably won't answer you even if you ask. "Aaahh~ that's a weight off my shoulder. Now, there's another thing I'm curious," she removes her hand from you shoulder and stands in front of you. "I've noticed that you've been avoiding me for the last couple of days. Why is that?" the magician asks.
Avoiding you? Marisa, we met four days ago.
"Yeah, but you were just reading alone. Usually, we always talk, and you respond seriously. Now, your responds are cold and short, sometimes you didn't even respond when I call you. After that, you just took the books and went home," the frustrated magician recalls, "Not only that, when I invite you out, you're always busy doing something else."
It's true that you have been trying to meet her less, but there's a reason for that. After Marisa invited you to stay with her (you rejected her) her action has been more aggressively… touchy. Whenever it's just you two, she starts being more active in showing her affection: hand holding, hugging, palm reading (every time Marisa does the reading, your love line will always be with a certain blonde magician close to you with 'M' being the first letter of her name). The more that she does this, the more that you feel like –no, most likely- you'll fall for her. Before, you see Marisa as an adventurous, free-spirited girl, but now you see her more as a girl. Sooner or later, you'll cross a line where your friendship will end. So, you decide to distance more from Marisa, until you became more mature.
As you stay silent, Marisa slowly comes closer to you, her hand tug on your shirt, "Hey, did I do something wrong?" Marisa looks downtrodden. You feel pain in your heart. The more that you stay with Marisa, the more you realize on how cute she is. How did the past you managed to be calm near such an adorable creature like her? You feel you're face heats up and you instinctively turn your head to the side, avoiding her face. You know this for a long time, but you are-
"Why won't you look at me?" Marisa looks at your redden face, "Wait… are you… conscious of me?"
-conscious of her, yes. You say nothing as your face turn redder than a tomato. You peek at Marisa to see she has the biggest grin imaginable.
"Hey, hey. When did you get conscious of me? ~" Marisa moves around to face your face, but you keep moving it around to avoid hers. This goes on for a few seconds before she had enough and press both her hands on your cheek and force you to face her. Your eyes dart elsewhere, trying to look away from her eyes. Eventually, your eyes are glued to her captivating, yellow eyes. Slowly, she moves her head, and you wait with eyes close for the inevitable to happen. Then, you feel something touches your forehead. You open your eyes and see that her forehead pressed on yours.
"Thank goodness," the relief magician says, "I thought I did something that would make you hate me." You can feel her hand trembles as she says this.
I'm sorry.
"Ahahaha, you better be. You made a poor maiden worry here. If you want to apologize, how about you live with me?"
Sorry, I can't.
"Ahahaha, worth a shot," the magician backs her head away, look at you another time, and let go of her hands. She takes a few steps back. "Look, you don't need to be all awkward around me. I'm still the same old Marisa that you know and love. See?" she points her thumb to herself, enunciating the word 'love'. "Besides, I don't like it when you act cold like this. Make it feel like we're just distant, you know? So, relax, I won't be any different. It's just that," Marisa gets closer to you again, her face resting near you ear, "I only act like this when we're alone," she blows a puff of air into your ear, sending shiver to your body. This is the reason why you don't want to be alone with her. The more she does this, the more that you will fall for her, and love is not your main priorities right now. The magician laughs, her face as radiant as the sun.
"Hey, hey, seeing that we're here already, how about we go to Geidontei today? I heard there's a new menu today, but it needs two people to order. We could treat this as a date, and we could order as lovers," Marisa grins.
Yeah, but as friends, you say, where Marisa replies with "Potato, tomato. Let's go," she grabs your hand, interlocking (like how lovers would) and you run with her to the Human Village. Despite knowing you shouldn't feel this way about her, you can't but help feel all warm inside. In your heart, you wish that time would freeze here.
One week passed, you are now at the Genbu Ravine with Cirno and Dai. Cirno is freezing sea creatures and amphibians alike while you and Dai are sitting on one the rocks, feet submerged in water. You see some kappa in the distant, building something, but you pay them no mind. As Cirno is busy freezing the animals, a question that been plaguing your mind the first time you met them popped up, you turn to Dai to ask her a question.
"What is it?" Dai asks. You ask her if her full name is only 'Dai'. You already know Cirnos' name as Reimu already told you but when it comes to Dai, you wonder if Dai is just a nickname or her actual name. You apologize beforehand for the late question, because just now you ask her for her name after meeting with her numerous times.
"Hahaha, it's alright," Dai politely laughs, "Dai is only a nickname. My name is Daiyousei,"
Daiyousei, huh?
"Yes, it's the name that Cirno gave me," Dai nods.
Wait, Cirno gave you your name? What about your real name?
Daiyousei looks down, "To be honest, I don't really have a name. It's an old story,"
Would you be willing to tell me? If you're worry about time, don't worry, you point to Cirno, who is still playing in the water.
Daiyousei shakes her head, "I don't mind. I apologize if it's a bit dull." Daiyousei retell her story, "I was playing with the flowers alone in one of the fields when suddenly, Cirno calls out to me."
"Hey, you. What are you doing there?" the blue fairy asks.
"N-nothing. Just watching the flowers here," startled, I answered nervously.
"Is that so? Well, you don't seem busy. I need your help to test out this new spellcard I have."
"But, I'm not strong… I don't think I'll be much of help…"
"Really? That's fine. You can see it from the sides. I need your opinion to see if this spellcard is strong or not," the blue fairy comes closer, "I'm Cirno, what's your name?" Cirno asks.
"I… I don't have a name…" I say to Cirno, my voice lowers.
"Really? You don't have a name?" I nod, "Hmmm… it's sad not having a name. I know!" CIrno claps her hand, then points to me, "From now on, your name will be Daiyousei, or Dai for short!" Cirno exclaim.
"Dai…yousei? As in, greater fairy?" I ask Cirno.
"Yeah! The strongest me need someone as great to be by the strongest side," Cirno holds out her hand, "Now come on, Dai! Let's go!"
At first, I hesitated. How can this fairy easily come up to an unknown stranger like this? Doesn't she feel scared? If it was me, I… But, seeing CIrno, I know that she meant everything she said. I saw someone who is courageous, someone that can withstand anything. I saw that as an opportunity to change. To become stronger. So, I hold out her hand, and from that on, I live as Daiyousei, the Greater Fairy, and Dai, a friend of Cirno.
"After that, Cirno and I meet up with all sorts of people, from other fairies, to human, to youkai. The shy me from before would never be able to do any of this. But, thanks to Cirno, I wouldn't be here today," Daiyousei looks down, "Sometimes, I feel like a burden to Cirno. I mean, I'm not strong like Cirno… I feel like I've always dragged her down,"
It's fine, isn't it?
"Eh?"
Do you really need to be strong? I mean, I live with the strongest person that I know. Every time that I stay with her, I felt powerless, I feel like she can do just about anything by herself. But even so, she never abandons me. We drink tea, do questionable shrine things and lazying about and we're still on good terms. Besides, I don't think Cirno is looking for someone strong as her. Maybe she just like being with you. I mean, do you think that Cirno is someone that abandons her friend?
Daiyousei listens to you ramble. When you hear what you say, it is hypocritical of you. To suggest that the girl doesn't need to get stronger, when you, yourself, are trying to become strong. Daiyousei gives a small laugh,
"Hahaha, you're right. Cirno is not someone like that. Thank you," Daiyousei thanks you. You give her a thumbs up. Talking about Cirno, you forgot about the fairy herself, so you and Daiyousei turn to where Cirno is and see a giant frog is currently trying to swallow Cirno whole, the fairy's leg flailing about to break free.
"Ciiiiirrrrnnoooooo!" Daiyousei screams, rushes toward Cirno. Daiyousei grabs onto Cirno's bottom half and try to pull her out. You walk over to where Cirno and Daiyousei is. Then, you hear a voice from above,
"Hmph, that's what you get for messing with the frogs here!"
You look up to see a figure resting above the giant frog's head. You can't really make out who it is due to the sun shining from behind her, but you can make a shadow of a child. The voice then continues,
"Kero? Never seen you here before," the shadow speaks. It then comes down from the frog and you get a better look of the child. The child is slightly bigger than the fairy, with blonde hair, a simple dress with purplish-blue design, a wide-brimmed hat (with two bead-like eyes rest on top) rest on her head. You don't think you ever met this child before. The child speaks,
"I don't think I ever seen you before. Who are you?"
You tell the blonde child that you're the human who's currently living in the Hakurei Shrine. Upon saying this, the child remembers,
"Oh, you're the one Sanae been talking about. Hahaha, what a strange day to meet," the girl laughs, "Well, it is rude to not give one's name. I'm Suwako. A god that resides in the Moriya Shrine."
G-god?! you stammer. You bow your head to the chi- god, prompting Suwako to laugh.
"Hahaha, raise your head. You don't need to be formal with me," you slowly raise your head, "Now, I think you have met our Wind Priestess, Sanae?" Suwako inquires.
You have. It was a week after you came into Gensokyo. You were walking with Reimu to get a better understanding of the Human Village and to meet with its residence. In the middle, you see that a girl is giving a sermon. When the sermon is finished, the girl lock eyes at you, and slowly walks up to you and you three started talking. When she heard that you aren't from around here, she bombards you with a surplus of question. Thankfully, Reimu stopped her before she drones about. The first impression you get from the girl is how eccentric she is.
"She's an adorable one, isn't she?" Suwako grins, "I heard that she invites you over to our shrine. Why haven't you done so?"
It's true that she has invite you over, it's just that…
One night at the Hakurei Shrine, you and Reimu were currently drinking some sake. The next day after meeting the Wind Priestess, Sanae, she invited you over to the Moriya Shrine at the Youkai Mountain. You told Reimu about the invitation from Sanae and then it happens. Reimu audibly clinks her sake cup on the folding table.
" Mo Ri Ya. Shrine?" Reimu enunciate the word.
'Yeah, Sanae invites me over. What's wrong?' you asked.
" Ha Ha Ha. That shrine… That shrine has been taking all of my worshippers away!" Reimu screamed. "Before, I was the only cool, dependable and cute shrine maiden that everyone loves. The shrine was filled with people, adoring me. But ever since that shrine has come to Gensokyo, all of the human worshippers have gone their way! Because of what? Because their shrine maiden actually meets with the people. Well, mikos should be prim and proper, like me. Or is it because their god actually went out of their way to meet with their worshipper? Well, a god should be reserved and mysterious. Or, or, is it because the Hakurei Shrine is now infested with youkais, making it harder for people to come? Well, they should come anyway! It's not even dangerous. I'm here! I can help them. Yeah, Sanae is cute whereas I'm just a grumpy old-shrine maiden but, is that the way to treat the protector of Gensokyo? They should be treating me with lots of donations, mainly money. Hey, you agree with me, right? Right? You do, right?" Reimu rambles on the night.
It's complicated… you say to the Moriya's God.
"Well, do come over. Sanae's been itching to show you the place," Suwako smiles. Remembering that Cirno is still half-eaten, you ask Suwako why the frogs are doing this, in which she replies,
"Kero? That fairy has been freezing frogs left and right, and the frogs around here has been complaining about it. So, this should be an appropriate punishment." Suwako look back to Cirno. "If it's only once or twice, I wouldn't be too harsh on her, but this has happened multiple times. So, it shouldn't be too bad if I do things like this, right?"
You can't say anything to the God, so you just nod your head. Suwako smiles. In the end, it took Cirno couple of hours stuck halfway inside the frog before being let go.
