Everyone’s waiting for you to continue. The thing is, you didn’t have anything to follow up after that. But you don’t want to disappoint, so you say the first thing that comes to your head.

“And then we can beat him up,” you conclude, earning the respect of battle-happy shrine maidens across the world. You’re sure Reimu’s clapping in her head with the approving nod that she’s giving you.

“...Him?” The badger sputters. “As in, the other guy… and not me, y-yes?”

“Do you want to be beaten up too?” asks Reimu.

With a somber expression, he shakes his head slowly and silently.

“Good.” The shrine maiden jerks a finger to the mountainside. “Now take us to your boss, leader, or whatever you call him.”

Despite how talkative the badger initially was, he does not say a word through the forest’s passage and the climb up the steady hillside. With Reimu following right behind the badger, it looks like he’s being walked to his execution—and the shrine maiden, his executioner. He stops at a patch of open area. Around is conspicuously clear of brush, as if all the foliage was trimmed away. All that’s missing is quiet in the forest, a dark mist that permeates through the woods, and you’d be wondering if you’re experiencing a serious case of deja vu.

A horned figure steps out from the cover of the trees. Just like the badger described, the youkai has a ruddy, taurus-like face. Dark splotches color the sides of the man’s face like oil, finished with a black muzzle that juts out. Mino, you think for a second before discarding it.

His eyes narrow at the sight of the shrine maiden and protracts his gaze, meticulously scanning each person before curtly saying, “...Guests.”

“Y-yes,” the badger says, lowering his head.

“You invited many.”

“I—I wouldn’t say that I, um, invited them, but...” The badger trails off as the bovine-headed youkai stares straight at him with his beady eyes.

Fukurokuju leans on her staff, head turned expectantly for a reply, but all that awaits her is a dismissive wave of your hand.

“Then,” she says slowly and deliberately, “is that all?”

“Indeed. I’ve already taken what I required of you, so you have dutifully served your purpose. Surely, you weren’t expecting us to sit down for tea, talk about the time in-betweens, and hug each other farewell.”

“No… I suppose not. But I also did not expect to be chased away so quickly as you’d a scorned lover. Come now, it’s been over several hundred years. Don’t you think we’ve much to catch up on?”

“Consider me heartless, but no,” you decline. “We do not. What has needed to be said has already been said. And what has not—consider it too insignificant to mention.”

“I suppose that is how you will be, even until the end. I cannot say that I do not understand, but…” The hermit sighs, resting a weary hand on her gnarled wooden staff. “At least bestow upon me a modicum of courtesy and escort me down the stairs personally.”

You oblige. “I suppose I can do that, then.”

The air is still, but the morning light, now shining upon Gensokyo in unashamed glory, has finally reached its residents, though only you, Fukurokuju, and the birds of the morning are aware. It is a rare moment of natural quiet, especially so when the silence you usually induce is coerced. In despite of all this, Fukurokuju walks beside you in brooding.

As she hobbles down the stairs with slow and languid steps, Fukurokuju returns to prior conversation. “Is there no way to convince you otherwise?”

“You know as much as anyone else how obstinate I am. I’ve thought deeply about what I would do for centuries. And, as constant as night itself, I always arrive back at the same conclusion. You’d sooner create world peace than persuade me away from my own thoughts.”

“Then I suppose I’d better start soon on my campaign for world peace,” she says, breathing a tired sigh. “Mind giving me a generous deadline? Say, ten thousand years or so?”

“I’m a busy god.”

THE STORY SO FAR

The world has ended, but five (well, four and a half) humans get a chance to do it over, and make things right. Only problem is, for their second go around, they're not going to be 'human'...

Reimu has survived her rather harrowing first day since regaining her memories, managing to regather a semblance of her former self’s equipment and abilities. Having joined forces with Konpaku Youki, and with assistance from the Sculptor Goddess herself, Reimu managed to defeat Toutetsu Yuuma while preserving her most important secret; that she was Kicchou Yachie’s secret daughter.

In doing so, she briefly awoke a strange, in-between form of her past and seemingly future selves. Doing so taxed her body greatly, and now she is in recuperation under her mother’s loving care, while Yachie seeks a safe place to take Reimu in.

With Reimu's very, very long first day brought to an end at last, our attention heads to the next of the five ex-humans. The one burdened with the most important task of all; bringing memories back to all the others…

[0] Just claim to be a deserter rabbit with eidetic memory. No need to bring up all the crazy shit on one's first meeting.

I've been thinking (dangerous, I know). Maybe we can expect Akyuu having to learn the ropes to help Reisen with her work, as payment for her treatment. At least Reisen will have someone to chat with while Akyuu recovers.

Also, as a Mystia fan I hope she eventually gets her cart back. Hopefully with her knees intact.

New thread is up at >>206302!

I've also posted a second epilogue, this one focused on Yuuma in the aftermath, and finally giving the missing matriarch a little bit of screentime. >>/shorts/2804

And to continue the trend of the end-of-thread shoutouts, I'd like to give one to Reavski's The Rabbit Has Not Landed! I've alluded to it a few times, but more than a few of the pieces in Again/Akyuu's lore regarding the moon are based on or direct callbacks to this story. It's actually the one that got me onto this site to begin with, as well!

You can find The Rabbit Has Not Landed here: >>/shrine/43549 and there's an AO3 version as well: https://archiveofourown.org/works/40206600/chapters/100703811

I'd also recommend reading Reavski's Wolfing Down. I personally rate it the most worthwhile-to-experience piece of erotica I've ever read, despite not finding it even slightly erotic - it's just a genuinely fascinating read, combining Futoian script, Reavski's elaborate writing style, and blatant, shameless smut in a glorious combination.

See you all in thread 4!

THE STORY SO FAR

The world has ended, but five (well, four and a half) humans get a chance to do it over, and make things right. Only problem is, for their second go around, they're not going to be 'human'...

Kicchou Reimu has reawakened memories of her past life on what has rapidly become the worst day of her current one. The once Shrine Maiden, now turtle-dragon and yakuza princess, is a close-kept secret of the Kiketsu family. However, her and her Mama Yachie were in a part of Kiketsu territory that got cut off from the main body, and now more than ever, the Kiketsu’s enemies seek to discover Yachie’s most precious secret, and exploit it for their own ends.

Yuuma Toutetsu easily saw through Yachie’s initial plan - after all, she has been feeding on the otter spirits that make up Kiketsu herself. After a rough ride across enemy territory, and managing to avoid being spotted by the Gouyoku Alliance only by a hair, Reimu has been chased into the depths of the waterways, in an attempt to stay hidden from the eagles and their taotie leader.

Reimu’s escape brought her into contact with Konpaku Youki, who seeks to slit Yuuma’s belly at Eiki’s request, and find the lost heiress of the Konpaku family. They’ve now come to the nearest reservoir, held by Haniyasushin Keiki, only for the Sculptor Goddess to claim that Reimu’s secret is no secret to her…

[7] Take Hakurouken. It was very possible they would find Youmu first.
[9] Leave it with him. He should hand it over himself.

{17} Explain why the incident happened, from her eyes.
{0} Don’t talk about the… crazy time travel stuff. He trusted her now, no need to push her luck before they found Akyuu.
- {X} Make sure to drop Youmu's name in case he finds her.

After much thought, Reimu pushed the sword back to him. “...Gramps, keep it with you. I will be looking for them, but…” She looked him in the eyes. “You should hand it to Youmu yourself.”

Youki blinked, his eyes shrinking to pinpricks as he looked over at Reimu. “...Youmu?” His voice was hoarse, weak with shock. “That was what my daughter wanted to… how…?”

Reimu rolled the yin-yang orb in the palm of her hand. “...It’s a long, long story, but… we’re the Immaterial Children for a reason. We had to be them.” She looked up. “...We changed history, and overwrote ourselves.”

She began to talk, going through what she remembered. Of the earnest, but scatterbrained half-ghost gardener. Of the past, of the apocalypse, of what they had to do just for a hope of preventing it. He listened, quietly, not saying a single word.

“...I only remembered all of this this morning. Probably because of the yin-yang orbs.” Reimu concluded, rubbing her head. “And… I don’t know where the other children are. All I know for certain is what I am. I don’t even know if they’re all okay… but I have to hope they are.”

Youki said nothing, for a long, long time. He turned his eyes up to the sky, deep in thought. Reimu sat by, and waited for him to put his thoughts together.

“...It’s quite a story, lass. One that beggars belief, frankly.” The old man kept examining the ceiling. “But… A girl named Youmu, eh? Well… that would line up with what my daughter wanted to call her.”

Reimu nodded. “...I’m glad about that. And… if she’s like me, then she’s kept some details from her past life in her. Maybe her hair, maybe her name…”

Reimu was in pain. It wasn’t like a broken leg, or that she had a headache, she couldn’t even truly feel it, it was nothing but pure, raw pain, and nothing else.

What she could feel, truly feel… was nothing. Not heat or chill on her skin, not a breeze through her hair… not even the feeling of her fingers touching each other. All she had was pain.

She tried to reach out, to sense something, anything. Though she couldn’t feel, or see, she sensed presences - four others, barest ideas of anything.

She called out, silently, into the void.

What’s going on? Where am I?

There was a pause, before she heard - before she saw - before she sensed a reply. First one, then several.

Who was that?

What happened to me?! Where’s Lady Yuyuko?!

I can’t see?!


Reimu spoke up again. Can you hear me? It’s ____ Reimu. She paused, before trying again. ____ Reimu. ____. I-I can’t remember. The void in her own name gnawed at her, building her urge to panic.

Reimu, do you know what’s going on? She tried shaking her head, but couldn’t feel it. Nonetheless, she could sense the faint urge of worry from the other side. That’s… bad. I can’t feel either of my bodies.

Does that mean you’re… Youmu? Another fragmented something responded. Reimu got a sense of acknowledgement from the someone who’d spoken originally. Okay, that’s something. That means at least three incident resolvers here, da ze. There was a strained edge to the playfulness, but it was playful, nonetheless. Trust Marisa to keep a brave face, even like this.

I’m _____ Kosuzu. I-I can’t feel anything…

[X] Confess to the truth.

Come to think of it, if Reimu still has enough of a spiritual link to her past self to do Hakurei shrine maiden-like exterminations, does that mean she's still linked to the Barrier as well? Do we have to worry about Yukari coming after us? And, on a more immediate note, is that something Keiki could sense?

[-] Onwards!

Despite the intensity of your little magical chat with Patchouli, things ended up proceeding more or less as originally planned. After a half hour delay while Patchouli regained her composure and presumably did research, the mage came back out, and the disguise enchantment via occult balls resumed. Without Patchouli in the ritual, this time. You would admit to a little amusement at how Sakuya was watching the mage almost as much as she was watching you and Satori. The maid wasn't even trying to be subtle about it.

Thankfully, you'd spent most of the delay talking to and getting to know the little devil. (After first making sure to update Satori so the two of you were on the same page, of course.) Sakuya had provided the object - a small silver ring with a bat wing motif - and in the end were able to form a clear enough picture of her to form the enchantment. As you'd hoped, sliding it on turned whoever wore it into the spitting image of Koakuma, and even altered their voice to match.

This then resulted in a battery of tests from Patchouli to examine the item and its full functionality, killing another half hour. While you'd love to call it paranoid, you did have to admit it uncovered some useful information. In particular, the illusion matched itself as closely as possible to the shape of the wearer. While it looked like Koakuma in her librarian outfit no matter who wore it, the actual size of the image matched the height of the disguisee, not Koakuma's height. Admittedly, when compared side-by-side this made it look more like Koakuma had a sister than a twin, but it was the only way to keep the illusion in sync with the wearer's movements. Thankfully, you were only a couple inches taller than the little devil, so it should still be close enough to work.

The bigger risk was Koakuma's extras. Which was to say, her wings, her long hair, her dress, and her, ah, feminine body shape, were all things that you did not have. Which in turn meant that if anyone tried touching any of those, they'd notice the moment their hand went through the illusion and your cover would be blown immediately. Patchouli brought up that most of those

>>205375

205373 here, my idea was less for rescue and more from the "maybe you overlooked something" from the custom option prompt, unless I am mistaken it looks like Patouli and Greg are both operating on the assumption that the lack of magic is what is allowing Greg to see the Village, when Jin likely doesn't either so since Jin would be the only other human here would be a good source of comparison. and also if it is able to help them get into the human village would also help Jin be safe till the incident blows over.

furthermore, and why I will be changing my vote to match 203575's is that the thought of the hilarious awkwardness of going and talking with Piper with Meiling... while Piper is pretending her name is Meiling. That and seeing how the date help that Sumi gave is turning out!

so as 205373, I am altering my vote to:
[X] Hang out with Meiling, chat.
-[X] Ask her about the farmer (and kappa) she saw. Maybe their perspective could reveal something.

I hate to do this so soon after my December break, but work and some of my other commitments (which are not work but nevertheless important) have proven too much for me to write with any degree of reliability this month.

Seriously, outside of work (which is currently in a deadline rush), writing is like my third or fourth biggest priority, and I just don't have time to get to it.

So rather than leave this in limbo, I'm officially declaring a hiatus until around mid-February. That should be enough time for work to calm down and one of my other commitments to resolve, which should leave me able to write more than just an update every couple of weeks.

(There is an outside chance of the occasional update between now and then, but no promises.)

[-] Back at the Scarlet Devil Mansion

You hadn't expected this. You knew this was a stressful time for Satori, and making her dig through your worst memories can't have helped, but you thought she'd be able to handle it. She'd... she'd always been strong. Always. And now she wasn't and the only thing you could do was hold her. Hold her and make promises you couldn't keep, because you didn't control any of this. Maybe if you'd gone to Eirin first instead of talking to Tewi? Or if you hadn't knocked away Marisa's hakkero, or if you just hadn't gotten injured like an idiot in the first place! You bit your lip hard enough to draw blood, wincing. Your feelings of guilt, justified or not, weren't important right now. Not in the face of this.

Satori continued to sob, tightening her grip around your waist as she buried her head in your shoulder. You held her close, resting your head atop hers while she cried. You'd been thinking of this situation as life and death for you and Sumi, but somehow it hadn't sunk in that it was just as important for others as well. Satori's sister wasn't dead, but in some ways Koishi's predicament was the next worst thing. Or perhaps even harder to deal with. At least with her mind reading sealed, she wasn't feeling your uncertainty and anxiety.

Damn it, you wish Sumi was here. She wasn't the most sympathetic person ever, but she'd listened when you'd needed her to, and more importantly, she'd point out the way forwards. Being able to do something helped. But what could you do? What could you even say? You were still kidnapped, without leverage, without secrets, and under the metaphorical axe. Freedom seemed like a pipe dream, let alone finishing the original goal you'd made no progress towards. So in lieu of actual strength, the best you could do was pretend to be strong for her.

"Deep breaths, Satori," you murmured, brushing a lock of hair past her ear. "Come on, with me."

Your chest was tight, but you inhaled as slowly and deeply as you could before exhaling in the same manner. It took a few tries, but

Nothingness. Who would've known the best feeling was the absence of feeling the whole time. You swim in the border of everlasting peace and finite suffering. At last you are free. Free from what? NO!

Mm. Strawberry Shortcake is also pretty tasty, and I can see the argument for going with Marisa. Changing my vote to shortcake option.

Muimi using this line is gonna come out so incredibly cringey.
Well, more cringey than it already is.
Really just wanna watch her crash and burn, huh?
I can respect that, even though I voted for a regular line.

Exactly. I want this to come off terribly. Fall completely flat. Absolutely zero charm behind it. A stammering attempt at an explanation of how she got the idea for that nickname.

Crashing and burning is the intended goal, here.

Servants. Gensokyo is no stranger to the concept of a person serving under a higher authority. A lot of servants are quite happy with their lives and can't imagine a better one where they're not serving under their masters.

But some just get treated like absolute sh@#.

Okay, that's a bit of an exaggaration, but still, some servants in Gensokyo don't get the best treatment in all of Gensokyo. For example, the Scarlet Devil Mansion's gatekeeper Hong Meiling tends to be belittled by most who know her, being accused of being too lazy and useless of a gatekeeper, despite the fact that despite her supposed laziness, the only ones who have managed to get pass the chinese youkai were the Hakurei Shrine Maiden and the Black-White Magician. And while her relationship with Sakuya Izayoi isn't as toxic as most make it out to be (If anything, they're actually on pretty good terms), the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion can still be pretty strict towards the gatekeeper about doing her job probably.

Another noteworthy example would be Reisen Udongein Inaba, the personal assistant of the famed lunarian doctor of Eientei, Eirin Yagokoro. The former is prone to constantly getting pranked by the mischevous Earth Rabbit, Tewi Inaba, and is sometimes punished by the lunarian doctor.

Relatively speaking, one could say that the treatment the half-human half-phantom gardener, Youmu Konpaku gets isn't as bad, but she still has to deal with the gluttonous and rather eccentric ghost princess of Hakugyokurou, Yuyuko Saigyouji, who is known to constantly tease the human-phantom hybrid.

Considering all of this, it was only natural that they would sympathize with each others plights. That's why the three agreed to get together at least one night a month to go get drinks together and vent about their problems at work. They dubbed it "Servants Night".

Another exhausting day, another relaxing night. The Earth Rabbit Assistant, Reisen Udongein Inaba, and the Half-Human Half-Phantom Garderner and Swordswoman, Youmu Konpaku, were drinking away their worries while talking about how their day went. The usual interactions that take place. Though there was something that was missing that night.

-----------------------------------------

"It's been a while since we've seen Meiling." Reisen said, breaking the silence that was momentarily set between the two. "You think?" Replied the Half-Phantom. "Yeah." Responded Reisen "I think the last time we saw her was when...we...had...to carry her home." The earth-rabbit finished awkwardly as she cleared her throat.

Youmu realized Reisen was talking about the time they had inadvertadley embarrassed Meiling 3 weeks ago. "Oh, right! From what I was told, Miss Meiling is working to make up for...that situation 3 weeks ago."

Eventually after letting out a sigh, Reisen said "We really ought to apolgize to Meiling when she's eventually comes back to drinking with us... I mean, that song she made with the ice fairy and shrine maiden on the mountain was admittedly very catchy, but it still wasn't very nice of us to embarass her like that." At this, Youmu nodded in agreement.

"Indeed. Not to mention we did inadvertedly get her in trouble with her mistress and Miss Sakuya. So I guess it's only fair to apologize."

After that. Silence befell the duo as they went back to drinking to the relaxing ambience around them.

After a while, it was Youmu's turn to break the silence. "Do you ever..." Started the gardener as the earth rabbit turned her attention to her. "You ever wonder what Miss Meiling actually is?"

To this the earth rabbit responded with "What do you mean? You mean like what kind of youkai?"

"Um... I suppose. We've known Miss Meiling for a while now, but I don't think she has ever told us what kind of youkai she is specifically."

"Ah, I see your point." said an understanding Reisen "

Meanwhile at the Scarlet Devil Mansion

"And when Lady Sakuya and the Mistress finally found China, she was passed out drunk!" Said an orange haired fairy maid, who was still rather ill-tempered about the incident 3 weeks ago.

"Wow really?"

"Yeah. So after receiving an absolute tongue-lashing from Lady Sakuya about drinking too much, China had to take the day off, Edward, Matthias, and Timothy had to cover for her on gatekeeping duty and me some other of the other fairy maids had to take care of the garden. Urgh...! I swear, gardening duty is such a pain! If I ever get assigned to gardening duty ever again, I'm gonna..."

The orange fairy then paused her rant, contemplating in her little fairy brain on what she would do if she were to be assigned garden duty again "I...uh..." It took several more seconds for the orange fairy to conclude with "I-I don't know what I'll do, but I'm gonna do something!"

This caused the purple haired fairy with glasses who was conversing with the orange fairy to laugh at her misfortune, until realizing "Wait, just Eddie, Matt, and Timmy? Wasn't there, like, fourth hobgoblin that hangs out with those three?"

"Oh, that. Torrid left earlier the day before." The orange fairy said with a deadpan expression with a shrug "Dunno why though."

At this, the now distraught purple fairy responded with "Aw man! He was my favorite hobgoblin..." At this, the orange fairy rolled her eyes as the two fairy went back to work (or whatever passed as work to fairies) cleaning the hall windows of the mansion.

The purple fairy finally decided to break the silence by asking the orange fairy a question. "Hey." she said. "What?" the orange fairy replied. "What is Lady Meiling exactly?" asked the purple fairy. "Double what?" replied the orange fairy again as she tilted her head.

"Just curious." confessed the purple fairy "I've been thinking about it for a while now. I tried asking Lady Meiling today, but all she said was 'That's my little dear!'

Hey there reader who probably doesn’t care. I just realized a little too late that I made an error.

When mimicking Meiling, the purple fairy said
> 'That's my little dear!'

When she really should have said
> 'That's my little secret dear!'

Not that any of you probably flippin' care (I mean, I’m not holding it against you if that really is the case), but I figured I’d clear that up.





OK. Have a good rest of your day/night. Expect Komachi to show up in the next short if and/or when it gets posted!

Nothingness. Who would've known the best feeling was the absence of feeling the whole time. You swim in the border of everlasting peace and finite suffering. At last you are free. Free from what? NO! You shouldn't ask that you'll be banished- banned from peace. Though you've already asked haven't you, you must've because you're already being kicked out as we speak. The nothingness is becoming somethingness. That something is me. You feel it don't you?

You jitter, turning your torso to your left. Bottom still planted firmly to the floor you couldn't even imagine trying to stand right now. However, when you make the full turn you are met by a river and laying across that river's skin is a face. Oh fuck- what happened? It's almost like the reflection is a separate entity, disappointed by you. What did you do to this poor girl? What did you do to yourself? You can't even force the muscles in your face to make her happy... she just suffers. You have todo something about her, you have to:
[-] Accept exile from nothingness and stand up.
[-] Reject somethingness; lay back down and close your eyes.
[-] Write in.
