“Maybe later,” you state, then continue quickly before
Marisa has a chance to complain or yell at you. “If we do it now,
dinner could be cold by the time we finish. Besides, I guess I'd like
to have everyone around first... since I suppose I should ask some
things about Gensokyo.”
“Eh? What kind of things?” Marisa looks at you curiously as she
stirs the soup with a large wooden spoon. “And yeh, waiting is fine...
Danmaku look more awesome when it starts getting dark anyway, like
fireworks y'know?”
You laugh nervously, of course you don't know but if these
'danmaku' are anything like fireworks, well, that could explain the
explosion at least. Where these danmaku were kept though, you had no
idea - there couldn't have been any in the luggage at least, otherwise
the explosion would have been much larger, right? “Just a few things...
I guess I could ask you now, but I sort of want to hear what the others
think too.” You sigh, “That and I have some things I need to warn you
all about anyway, electricity, guns, that kind of thing.”
“Ee-lek-tree-city?” Marisa sounds the word out then looks at you,
“I'm sure I've heard that before... Maybe at Kourindou?” She mumbles
for a few moments, then shrugs. “Whatever~ The soup's done!” With that
Marisa is off, grabbing the bowls you had bought out earlier and
ladling the contents of the pot into them. You yourself sigh and get to
work, pulling out the other things you had cooking and arranging them
on various plates and dishes. You did have some things you wanted to
ask but... they can wait for now as it looks like Marisa is more
interested in her soup than in answering questions.
Within a short while you, Marisa, and the other four girls are
clustered around the table in the dining area. Dishes cover the table
and, in front of you, is your bowl of the soup Marisa made. “So,” you
begin, “before we start eating I just want to thank Miss Marisa for
helping make dinner - eventually I'll have to teach all of your to use
the kitchen yourselves, in case any of you want something to eat while
I'm not around.” Marisa seems to beam a little at your thanks, then she
and the others nod at the last part of your statement. Finally they all
dig in.
Dinner was relatively pleasant, the soup was... better than you had
expected - you were after all following the recipe of a person you
were... well okay, you had no idea anymore if she was human or youkai
but either way she was a person who'd never stepped foot into a modern
kitchen before. The rest of the meal, cooked mainly by yourself, was
just the normal kind of stuff you ate before anyway. The girls didn't
seem to have any complaints - though you did notice Letty had let her
meal cool down before she started eating it.
“Oi oi!” Marisa is bouncing in her chair eagerly. Evidently she'd
devoured her meal as quickly as she could, “Lets go! Lets go!” Keine
glanced at her, then at you.
“What, exactly, are you two up to?” She asked, in the same kind of
tone your old teachers used to use on you. The 'I know you're up to
something and I don't want to have to clean it up' kind of tone.
“Oh, Miss Kir- uh... Miss Marisa agreed to show me this 'danmaku'
thing she kept raving about while we were cooking.” At that Keine
stiffened, then turned to glare at Marisa, who merely folded her arms
and put on a smug expression.
“You said it would be fine if he said it was okay! And he did! So
there!” The girl even stuck her tongue out at the older woman,
“Besides, he wants us all to be there so he can ask us stuff 'bout back
home anyway - so don't get your bloomers in a twist!”
“You'll probably regret this you know,” Mumbles Komachi, who seems
amused by the whole thing. “But if Marisa's gonna show off, why don't
the rest of us? Get some drink, throw up a few 'maku firework-style,
have a lil' party as a, y'know, housewarming - yeah?”
“Oh my,” Letty whispers, “That does sound fun. How about you Miss Meiling, Cirno has told me many times how colorful yours are.”
The chinese girl gives a shy smile, then nods enthusiastically,
“Sure!” she exclaims, seeming a totally different person from what she
was this morning. “It'll be just like practice!”
Face with the evident glee of the other four girls, Keine had no
choice but to back down over the issue. “Fine,” she breathed, “I
suppose I can throw up a few signs too if thats what everyone wants -
but nothing too big Marisa, remember what I told you earlier.”
“Sure, sure... so... Who should go first? I would, but I'm gonna
need a little preparation for what I wanna do!” Marisa grins, “I'll go
last and show how awesome I am as the big finale!”
So, who should go first?
[ ] Meiling
[ ] Komachi
[ ] Keine
[ ] Letty
