Don't expect the changes instantly, but a couple of years for change to happen is not long in the lifespan of a youkai, and hopefully the changes will pass along the generations, until humans and youkai and live together without fear, or barriers at all." Keine explains.

> Well, she already seems happy with you.

> "No, he won't go to jail! He's not done anything illegal, it just means the people don't want him leading them anymore. He'll probobly tutor me on how to run the village first, I may be pretty smart, and can run a school, but I can't run a village without being taught how. He'll probobly just retire after that, he's getting on a bit, towards the end of his life. He's old, he's seventy-eight already, which is old for a human, especially in Gensokyo."

In fact, he wanted me to demolish it but he wasn't technically in office because it was the election period, so he couldn't boss me around."

> "Maybe, but an actual shack would likly require more attention, and making this more than a pastime, not to mention you might need more hands."

> "I can't say too much, I was only just elected, I don't know the details of everything I'll de over the next five years. All I plan to do is set the stones for humans to not live in fear of youkai anymore. If the humans like it, they'll likly vote for me again, and I'll get more time in charge. If not, theey'll vote for a person who wants to cut the humans off from youkai again. I can't promise lasting change. I can't promise quick change. But I'll try to cause change, to make things better for all of us."

> "Some people have been victims of youkai in the past, or lost loved ones. Others just have been victims of particually bad pranks by fairies, and others just are freinds of the of mayor, so would vote for him. Even today, some are victims of Remillia Scarlet, although, as I said last time, she only attacks humans out of nessessity, she MUST have human blood to live, unlike all other youkai. I think. The point about a vote is that it's anonymous. I don't know if it was largely the elder population who voted against me." Keine explained.

> "Well, hopefully the village is accepting of youkai before they realise I've stopped ageing completely due to my Hakutu-blood. I'm a half-beast, half-youkai. Like normal youkai, I won't age like humans." Keine says, before adding, "Although I could easily explain it with my History Manipulation."

They didn't know, if they did, they would have hid something less important, but to them, it was a random bottle they found."

Is that lamprey done yet? If so, let's serve it. With a smile.

If not, obviously we should just continue talking about fairies. Something like "Haha, I guess so. I don't know about you, but I'd give quite a bit to have the fairy's ability to do that."

As I said before, he won't be charged for anything, he did nothing wrong, he followed the will of the people at the time he was elected." Keine says.
