Yuyuko Quest - Perfect Cherry Blossom

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile charmingly. "All this happened because I was wondering what some people looked like as a child, and then things ended up how they are now~"
>"Still though, aren't we adorable~?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile charmingly. "All this happened because I was wondering what some people looked like as a child, and then things ended up how they are now~"
>"Still though, aren't we adorable~?"

>Byakuren nods, "Indeed, indeed, excuse me a moment. Shou!! Ichirin!! Murasa!! Come here and see this!!" she calls inside the temple. After several seconds, Shou Toramaru leaps out of the Myouren Temple on full hostile alert, with Ichirin Kumoi and Murasa Minamitsu backing her up.
"What's going on?" Shou asks, preparing lasers. Byakuren waves her hands.
"No, no! Just we have visitors!!" she squeals. The trio calms down and looks around awkwardly.

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle cutely. "As excitable as always, Toramaru."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle cutely. "As excitable as always, Toramaru."

>Shou exclaims in surprise and waves, "Hi, Yuyuko!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile back. "Been eating well~?"
>Wonder if the Taoists are watching?

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"You're the first one to recognize me without prompting. How'd you know?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile back. "Been eating well~?"
>Wonder if the Taoists are watching?

>Shou giggles, "Uh, sure, why not?"

>You wonder if the Taoists are watching... They probably wouldn't recognise you.

>"You're the first one to recognize me without prompting. How'd you know?"

>Shou just laughs, "We heard what Byakuren said. And not to mention, your eyes are a dead giveaway... I mean a really big giveaway!!"

[YukkuriPaste]

>"Really, Shou? Just my eyes?"
>Blink adorably.

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Really, Shou? Just my eyes?"
>Blink adorably.

>Shou giggles awkwardly, "Uh, yeah, sure."

>Byakuren claps, "Well, what brings you all here?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile enigmatically. "Can't I visit with a few friends~?"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile enigmatically. "Can't I visit with a few friends~?"

>"I guess you can, I was just curious!" Byakuren giggles awkwardly.

[Hanzo K.]

>Smile charmingly. "You'll learn that in Gensokyo, some of the higher-ranked sorts like ourselves get bored easily. And thus, do something for an important reason, or simply because they wanted to~ Naturally, I am of the latter."

[Nekomata-chan]

>Smile charmingly. "You'll learn that in Gensokyo, some of the higher-ranked sorts like ourselves get bored easily. And thus, do something for an important reason, or simply because they wanted to~ Naturally, I am of the latter."

>"I... guess I see what you mean. I guess I was just raised to think everything happens for a specific reason... but every rule is made to be broken, I suppose..." Byakuren murmurs awkwardly, "B-but enough of the cryptics. Are you just passing by or would you all like to come in?"

[Hanzo K.]

>Think for a moment, then give a big ol' smile.
>"Suuure~!"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Think for a moment, then give a big ol' smile.
>"Suuure~!"

>Byakuren smiles and steps aside, "After you."
>Ichirin disappears into the Temple with Murasa following, calling, "I'll get some tea brewing!!"

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's go!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Let's go!

>You all enter the Myouren Temple, where Murasa directs you to a large, stylised tea room.
"Make yourselves comfy!!" she grins, before barking at Ichirin to hurry with the tea and nearly getting slammed by a nyuudou-fist in the process. She hurries off to have an apparent argument.

>You all sit down on the small mats around the tea-table, and immediately Mokou blinks in confusion.
"The hell was that pink fist thing?!" she whispers.

>It is just your little group in the room, nobody else. At least, that's what you think.

[Hanzo K.]

>Whisper back to Mokou: "I heard that a Nyuudou also resides here, in the service of one of the residents. He must be rather handsome, if the old legends are correct~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Whisper back to Mokou: "I heard that a Nyuudou also resides here, in the service of one of the residents. He must be rather handsome, if the old legends are correct~"

>"A Nyu-... anya-... do-... that thing you just said." Mokou sighs.
>Ichirin enters with Unzan and two trays of tea, "Tea's here!"
>She places the trays on the table with a smile, "Help yourself, there's a lot more."

[Hanzo K.]

>Let's enjoy the tea then!

[Nekomata-chan]

>Let's enjoy the tea then!

>You help yourself to tea, and Keine suddenly speaks up.
"So... what time does this child thing wear off at? I have classes to teach tomorrow..." she murmurs.
"Round 3am. Or whenever I can be bothered. Be funny to see a kid teaching kids." Yukari chuckles.

[Hanzo K.]

>Giggle like we always do. "Indeed it would Yukari~ Of course, Keine here is currently much smarter than any child in Gensokyo...Short of perhaps us at the moment~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>Giggle like we always do. "Indeed it would Yukari~ Of course, Keine here is currently much smarter than any child in Gensokyo...Short of perhaps us at the moment~"

>Yukari nods, "And possibly Akyuu. Smart little snippet, that one."
>You hear Reimu snore, and see that she has fallen asleep with her head on Sanae's arm. Sanae looks unnerved.
>"Awkward, awkward, awkward, awkward!!" Sanae mutters as Reimu mumbles and flails weakly in her sleep.

[Hanzo K.]

>"Indeed, Akyu is rather sharp. I think that if her time ever comes completely, no more rebirths and such, she'd be rather welcome in Hakugyoukurou, we do need intelligent sorts after all~"
>Smile at Sanae. "That just proves she's comfortable with you now~"

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Indeed, Akyu is rather sharp. I think that if her time ever comes completely, no more rebirths and such, she'd be rather welcome in Hakugyoukurou, we do need intelligent sorts after all~"

>"I'll be sure to tell her next time I swing by!" Yukari smiles.

>Smile at Sanae. "That just proves she's comfortable with you now~"

>Sanae whines, "But it doesn't mean I'm comfortable with HER!!"

>Outside, you see Aya taking pictures through the window, specifically of Reimu and Sanae, with a devious grin on her face.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"Yukari. I think a certain reporter wants to join in on the fun."

[Nekomata-chan]

>"Yukari. I think a certain reporter wants to join in on the fun."

>Yukari looks to the window, and gaps Aya inside the room. The tengu reporter falls flat on her face, absent-mindedly taking a picture of the "area" under Sakuya's skirt. Sakuya doesn't notice.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

>"If she's so eager to know about this, perhaps she ought to experience if for herself."

[Nekomata-chan]

>"If she's so eager to know about this, perhaps she ought to experience if for herself."

>Yukari grins, "I've seen pictures of her. Yuyuko, prepare for a cuteness attack!"

>Aya shrinks down into a child. What is immediately noticeable is that she is now the shortest here.
>Her hair is longer than usual, but quite wavy and down to her shoulders. Her eyes are big and bright red, too. She is extremely thin and pale-skinned, as if she were ill at some point and hadn't fully recovered.
>Aya takes one look at herself and panics. "Whatwhatwhat?!"
>Her voice is so lispy and high-pitched it shouldn't even be considered legally cute!!

[Hanzo K.]

>"Awwww~ Isn't she just precious?" Turn to Youmu. "Youmu! You know the routine by now. But do finish your tea first, it's only polite~"
