Upon hearing my answer, the Baku sighs a sigh of relief, like she was threatened to give me this offer, rather than accept it without violent concern. When I enter the courtroom, I am met with a face I haven’t seen before, but the name of the person that face belongs to is too familiar… Eiki Shiki, the Yamaxanadu of Gensokyo. “Heaven, Hell and Meido now reside in the same place, which is something that should be fixed”, one of the apparitions of a Yama says. “But the only place that can be used currently is the Netherworld, and they won’t have enough space to seperate the three places”, Eiki rebuts, “Old Hell has made its own kingdom; and the way to the only heaven I know of is not in control of the Netherworld.” “I understand your concern for the livelyhoods of other people, but they shall be ruined if you don’t fix it immediately.” The way this conversation sounds… It’s less like a dream and more like a conversation over the phone. I didn’t care enough to note any changes in temperature here, for dreams follow their own logic, but it can be that this place is… no, it’s not enough for me to distinguish that… “…I’ll try the diplomatic option first, but I don’t think the Gods of the Mountain nor the Kingdom of Old Hell will accept the proposal”, Eiki says. “When they don’t, you will attack them with everything you have, right?” “…Of course, ” And I wake up in the second Eiki’s mouth made another sound, so I could’ve maybe heard something more about the other Yamaxanadu there. Something is certain though: I have no time to waste and a mistress to warn of the impending danger. \------------------------------------------/ HP: 144 MP: 19 (-7) No crippled body parts Experimentation time! -> Though the poor soul who is going to be put into my experiment is going to be less than happy... Warn the Mistress. -> That is if she listens to it. Weaponize the vengeful spirits. -> Which is probably illegal at this stage but what other choice do I have? Attempt to negotiate a middle ground for the two sides of parliament. -> Only a united front can win a battle.

Whew...life doesn't get easier as you get older. I finished that entry just minutes before bed. Don't worry Mota. You might worry your vote made me rewrite part of the story, but I still hadn't decided which choice to go with, so I actually wrote both while I decided. I'mma be honest. I never read Forbidden Scrollery. While that's partly because I only got into Touhou recently, I'm going to blame being busy all the time instead. That said, I think the themes behind him tie nicely to our human sorcerer and his decidedly not-human friends. As well as the wild youkai, come to think of it. That said I imagine he has a number of nasty hexes he may have left behind his old place of work, perhaps even by accident. And its likely some people who know the area might not like Oscar was sniffing around there...then again its probably a good source of magic and might let Oscar divine this prophecy thing he's saddled with... As usual. I do my best not to prod you towards any choices good or ill. I just make things happen afterwards. Tomorrow I have some time off, and I am mostly done with my other work. Hopefully that gives me time to blitz through Scrollery and insure I present Fortune Teller as authentically as possible. I want to respect not just Touhou and its lore, but my readers.

First of all, sorry for the late voting, I was sure that I had voted on Tempura on the same day you posted the last chapter Yume but I guess my sleepy self actually dreamed it, dang it Doremy-chan, it's not yet time! But, moving on, today we had a rather calm update, probably to give us time to prepare for the next bomb you are going to drop on us, and man I was right. The votes right now are all tempting, but it's safe to say that the only real option here is to go search for Kosuzu, her skills are the best way to aid us with that book Marisa gave us and probably could help Oscar with this pesky language barrier. However, the SDM option is really interesting too, despite being by far the riskiest option we have right now, without magic I think we are going to be deep in trouble there making it impossible to keep our magical persona intact, Reimu is also a good start but considering one of your earlier comments and the fact that she is probably going to encourage us to give up makes her a possible dead end. Hold on though, there is still one last option... Yes, our long-gone senpai, the infamous fortune teller! I never expected this guy to have actual relevancy and yet here we are. I'll be honest with you, this is either the meme option or the very questionable one but I'll pick this one regardless, despite his infamy, senpai had actual skills by being the one puppet who could see his strings, it's a shame he committed the ultimate sin of being male a villager who became a Youkai, but Oscar is no villager is he? haha, I can't wait to see how this is going to turn out for us.
