“That's alright,” you murmur, “I don't exactly feel up to moving about
much yet.” Although you probably could if you wanted to, it's not
exactly a lie - you do still feel a bit dizzy. “Besides,” you add, “I
have a lovely nurse looking after me, why would I want to move?”
Letty gives you a lopsided grin and raps one knuckle against your
head in a in response. “My,” she says, “Aren't you the smooth talker,
only just up and already with the pickup lines. Still, I suppose I
should be flattered - I don't get to talk to very many people much
normally.”
“Oh?” You look at the lavender-haired woman curiously. She looks
normal too you... well, aside from maybe the hair color, but given how
many people in the big cities dye their hair it's not impossible that
she could have been able to do the same in Gensokyo. “I can't see why
not, you're not a ten-foot tall man eating monster after all.”
“Oh,” Letty smirks, “I haven't eaten a man in years. I'm on a diet
after all.” You start in shock before realizing she's joking and settle
back down. “Wound a little tight?” She asks, “Although it is hardly
surprising, everything has happened so fast after all.”
“Yeah... Just a week ago I was a normal, average guy who probably
wouldn't have amounted to much.” you say, “Now I'm living with five
ladies... well, four ladies and one girl at least.” Glancing over at
the window you stare at the field and forest outside. “When they told
me there were youkai in gensokyo who ate people... I guess I was kind
of terrified. I didn't know what to expect, monsters I suppose.”
Turning back you smile at Letty, “I didn't expect five normal women,
that's for sure!”
“Normal?” Letty asks, and you could swear she's trying not to snicker. “How do you mean normal?”
“Well..” you reply, “You know... normal. You all look like any
other girl in the world, you know? Even Keine, and I already know she
must be a youkai.... Still, it's weird they sent four humans and a
you-” You pause as Letty gives up trying to hold her snickering in and
starts laughing, her hands pulled in to cover her mouth. “Er... Miss
Letty? What's, uhm, what's so funny?”
“Oh, nothing dear, nothing.” She manages to reign in her laughing
and smiles at you, “You know, I was horribly afraid that this was going
to be a disaster from the start. So far you've shown me that, at least,
there's a chance that I might actually enjoy this.” her smile turns
into a smirk, “Especially since these 'Air Conditioners' mean it's cold
enough for me to actually be awake. Normally I spend most of my time
sleeping, now I may actually get to enjoy the other seasons for once.”
You frown, “Wait... what do you mean by that?” you ask, only to have Letty stand up.
“That, I think, is enough question time for now mister Ryogi,” she
says gently, “You'll find out soon enough anyway, at least let us keep
out secrets a little longer hm?” She smirks, “it'll be more fun that
way, don't you think? Besides, it's getting close to mealtime - and
none of us know how to operate your kitchen, so you're going to have to
make a move yourself anyway.”
Sighing you push yourself up and off of the sofa. She's right - the
miracles of a modern oven cooker could probably kill any of the girls
and you really didn't want to think what would happen if any of them
tried to use the microwave... Mentally you note to teach them how to
use the oven, at least, as soon as was convenient. For now though, it
was time to rummage through the freezer and find something suitable...
actually, thinking about it, you could probably teach one of the girls
now...
[ ] See if Keine is free to be taught,
[ ] Check if Meiling wants to help cook,
[ ] Ask Komachi if she wants to try,
[ ] Offer to show Marisa how to use the kitchen
[ ] Maybe Letty would be interested in cooking.
