Every single one of us is inside the Pillbox, the intruders, Who where tengus, where kind enough to have brought a table, but after learning why they have brought it, I had the urge to throw myself at them, but last thing i want is to start a war the very week I arrived. The chairs were used by Reimu, Yukari and me. We sat at opposite sides with Reimu besides Yukari and the rest standing behind them, and me sitting with the Venetian standing behind my shoulder. They all introduced themselves before we began. The green haired girl was Sanae Kochiya, the blonde girl was Suwako Moriya, and the Goddess was Kanako Yasaka. The tengus were Aya Shameimaru, Megumu Iizunamaru and Momiji Inubashiri, with the fox girl being a kuda-gitsune, she was Tsukasa Kudamaki.

"Here's the deal: For the ones that I caused troubles, I shall be with them a week to work chores and repair damages. Since I caused damages to Reimu and Remilia's residence, I shall be given a week to do their bidding and repay damages done to their homes, to Moriya shrine here, since I have stolen their wood, I shall still do the same as well as provide new wooden boards."

"Can't you just give them back?" Said Sanae.

"I'm afraid they are very tainted with concrete," I responded.

"Do you have any idea what kind of wood that was?! You desecrated a relic for a cement pit?!" Kanako yelled at me.

"Look, I shall do what you want for the week, I shall get new boards ok?" I responded.

"Kanako, please keep calm here, go on," Yukari said.

"Good, since I can't work with all of you at the same time, each week shall be reserved for each, in which Yukari has decided the order to which you all attend."

"My only set of demands is: You let us do our thing as we travel these lands, we have no reason to fight and cause trouble, we just happened to start with the wrong foot, this will not happen ever again. This base here shall be our home and nowhere else. And finally, Let us start with the best of intentions, I'm gonna be here for a very long while, so I'd be best if we got along."

"Sounds good to all parties involved but here are my demands I behalf of everyone:" Yukari added

"One, you shall be unarmed, that means all your weapons shall be given to me, Including the robot here. Two, I Shall supervise your activities for the week every two days. I don't want you escaping once more, after you repay everyone, I shall leave you be. Three, you shall be in your freedom, but you have to provide a weekly report of your activities, shall you fail to provide one or we find discrepancies, we shall investigate your home and question you. Four, If you ever try to do something stupid, or even think of outplaying us, we will not be merciful upon your soul."

"Monthly report, and the venetian stays, we have our own thing that we must figure out,
I can't let you take him away from me." I negotiated the terms with her, "As for my weaponry, That I also cannot do, How shall I defend myself"

"And that's where term Five goes: I shall teach you the spell card rules" Yukari responded to the latter.

"Yukari, I don't think he can use danmaku" Reimu said.

"Yet. But I cannot permit any senseless killing whatsoever." Yukari responded

"I SHALL BE THE GUARDIAN FOR THE WEAPONRY," Venetian said, "I VOLUNTEER TO KEEP IT UNDER SAFE UNTIL WE CAN FIGURE SOMETHING OUT. I AM NOT PROGRAMMED TO OBEY YET SO I CAN REFUSE HIS ORDERS RELATING TO WEAPONS RETRIEVAL."

"I'm afraid I cannot permit th-" Yukari tried to say but was interrupted by Venetian.

"MS. YAKUMO, YOU MUST UNDERSTAND 'S SITUATION, FROM WHAT I CONCLUDE WITH THE WEAPONRY AND THE ATTACHED STATE OF 'S REASONS TO SAY NO, IT APPEARS THAT HE HAS SINCE USED THESE WEAPONS FOR A LONG TIME, HAVING HIM TO CHANGE TO A UNCONVENTIONAL SYSTEM OF COMBAT IS NOT ONLY UNFAIR, BUT A DIFFICULT CHANGE THAT I DOUBT WOULD EVEN ACCEPT IN THE FIRST PLACE. LET US ADAPT TO A NEW WAY TO USE HIS WEAPONRY IN THESE "SPELL CARD RULES" SYSTEM, I AM VERY SURE THERE IS A WAY TO LET HIM USE HIS WEAPONRY."

A silence surrounds us for a long time, Yukari looks at Venetian with a face that expresses thinking and dead-on staring. she then proceeds to look at me.

"No ammunition" she said to me

"Deal." I responded back.


The negotiations went as smooth as they could be. The order I was gonna work with came upon like this: First week I was gonna be at Reimu's. I will stay in the shrine during the week doing the repairs to the door, cleaning the smoke smell out and helping her perform some shrine duties. Second week I was to be staying at the Scarlet Devil Mansion repairing the glass Venetian broke, and do the bidding of Remilia, which I am really scared of. and lastly, the third week i shall also do some shrine duties for the Moriya shrine and collect new wood to make the new boards.

Overall, it's gonna be a hard month, and a lot of things to do, but I can get along with the monthly report thing. Although I'm going with Reimu first, I'm looking forward to being at the SDM. That library may have information on the cube.

Everyone was leaving towards their respective home and we finally had been left alone, but then I heard Yukari's voice.

"Plyush, do you mind a moment alone?"

"Um, sure." I responded


Yukari and I were inside the pillbox once again, Venetian had left per request of Yukari and we were the only ones alone in the room.

"Reimu told me about the cube"

"Im surprised you didn't bring it up back then"

"I asked Reimu and Marisa to refrain from talking about it, and told the tengus to stop investigating, may I see it?"

I nodded and showed the Node to her, the Node was not glowing as strong as it did before.

She takes a long look at it, inspecting its volume and texture, and after that, she faces me up.

"What are your true intentions Plyush, why have you come to Gensokyo in the first place" she asked me

"..."

"...I'm looking for my creator."

"Oh?" Yukari exclaimed

"I'm tired of not knowing the answer to my existence, why I was struck with this curse, I have to know. and now that the Venetian has appeared, i have a strong grasp on my goal, this thing, whatever it is, is very important to me, please don't take it from me…"

"I won't" said Yukari, "you have initiative, a purpose and a strong will, I admire that. But whatever you do, If you ever harm anyone during your goal, those things don't mean a thing to me any more, I will kill you." She finished with a threatening look towards me

My face turned into one one trying to hide the shock, I kept a serious face while my eyes widened by the words that spat out of her mouth. but I stood my ground.

her face turned into a cheery one, "Good luck!" she finished before turning away and leaving.

I'm glad I didn't tell her about my extra ammo stash in the can.
