Chapter 27

In a room that isn't fully completed like a painting that has been faded over time

a green-haired girl and a pink-haired girl is talking to each other

Kusa: So your friends are all animals?

Satori: Yes... because they aren't afraid of me

Kusa: so you managed the Palace of earth spirits, and also the Hell of Blazing fires?

Satori: Yes...

Kusa: for how many years?

Satori: I don't remember

Kusa: (I've been alone for 16 years and I've become insane yet she is alone for how many years and still have reasoning)

Satori: I have a younger sister and my pets so I'm not alone

Kusa: still, from what I see, you want to talk to other people didn't you?

Satori:...

Kusa: I want us to be friends... but you will probably forget this happened

Satori: Why?!

The pink-haired girl is afraid that a person that isn't afraid of her will be gone faster than she expected

Kusa: Well... this is a dream, what happened In a dream will remain in the dream

Satori: no... I don't want it

Kusa: sorry... but like every being that has consciousness everyone has to wake up

Kusa: But if you want to see me again... Put your favourite flower in your room and I'll visit you from time to time

Satori: promise?

Kusa: Promise!

Kusa: It seems we have time to talk to each other, so why not let's talk some more?

Satori: Yes!

The two talks and Kusa narrates her hectic adventures in Gensokyo

Kusa: and you know the white-haired woman is very grumpy yet caring, but she stopped being a tsundere for a while

The rooms started appearing cracks

Kusa: it seems it's time

Satori: wait! I want to talk to you more!

Kusa: remember to put your favourite flower in your room!

The room is suddenly covered by darkness and the pink-haired girl is awake in her bed while having some tears

Satori: Why am I crying...?

Satori started to wipe her tears with a blanket

Satori: Why is my blanket has a different colour? the bed is smaller...

Satori: A wooden cup?

Satori taste the liquid inside of the cup

Satori: bitter...

Satori thinks deeply

Satori: green hair... favourite flower...

Satori: Kusa!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Kusa appears in a white world and a blue-haired girl is busy reading

Kusa smiles and suddenly appears near the girl

Kusa: BOO!!!

Doremy: %##%@$@#

Doremy is very surprised that she can't form words and her balance is disrupted that she started falling

But Kusa prevents it from catching the chair and she sits it properly

Doremy: stupid! idiot! fool! dolt! You imbecile!!

Kusa: yes-yes I'm sorry

Doremy started to calm down

Doremy: I hate you when you do that!

Kusa: yes-yes I'm sorry

Kusa creates fruits and some tea for Doremy

Kusa: my sincere apologies

Doremy: You didn't even Emit any presence that's why I always get off guard by you

Kusa: it seems I'm still not awake so let's talk

Doremy: talk to yourself Idiot

Kusa: Yes I'm an idiot

Despite Doremy saying that they end up talking too much

------

Kusa: it seems it's my time to go now

Kusa is fading in the dream world

Doremy: bye! don't come back

Kusa: I'll come back if I want to!!!

Kusa dissapears and Doremy seems in a good mood that her tail started swaying

--------------------------------------------------------------

Kusa: an unfamiliar ceiling...

Reimu: Kusa!!!

Marisa: she is awake?!!

Footsteps can be heard

Mokou: I'm glad

Mokou, Marisa, and Reimu appeared in Kusa's line of sight

Kusa: how many days I have been asleep?

Marisa: three days

Kusa: I see... I'm back!

Kusa changed into her big form and open her arms

The three people decided to hug her

All: Welcome back!

--------------------------------------------------------------

four people hang out for the rest of the day talking to each other and cuddling until the next morning

Mokou: it seems I need to go back

Kusa: already?

Mokou: Of course, I don't know when someone is lost if I'm here

Kusa: I see...

Mokou scratches her head because of Kusa's unwillingness to part

Mokou: I'll be here At night so don't be sad

Kusa seems uplifted by that statement

Kusa: Hmm... Okay! Remember to not be grumpy!

Mokou: who is grumpy?!

Mokou decided to mess with Kusa's Hair

Marisa appears and sees their interaction

Marisa: ehh? You are going back?

Mokou: Yes, the village and the Bamboo forest needs me after all

Reimu hears their conversation and decided to talk to then

Reimu: Mokou you aren't living with them?

Mokou: I want to... but my duty needs me

Reimu: I see...

Mokou: well then I'm off

--------------------------------------------------------------

Three girls can be seen watching the fish pond In the back of the shrine watching the turtle swim

Marisa: Bored

Kusa: Bored?

Reimu: Bored

Kusa: Bored??

Marisa: Why is it slow today!

Kusa: the day is just literally started!

Reimu: do you guys want to eat?

Marisa: Of course!

Kusa: I'll be the cook!

Reimu: Nope let me cook

Kusa|Marisa: you know how to cook?!!!

Reimu: Haah?!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------

The three eat in peace when a geyser erupts out of nowhere far away from the pond

Kusa: ohh~

Reimu and Marisa look at each other

Reimu|Marisa: Hotspring!

Kusa: eh?

The two started to make a hotspring and Kusa helped them

the power of Kusa's Manipulation of plants makes the base of the hotspring is easy

They decided to take a dip on the hotspring making them feel relaxed

Kusa: this is the best...

Reimu: I agree...

Marisa: finally after a series of incidents we can relax

Reimu: Now that you mentioned it, the incidents are a very weird series of events

Reimu: I'm glad we finished it

Marisa: it will be a letdown if this is an incident

Kusa: You put another flag Marisa!

Marisa: flag isn't real, last time Is a total coincidence-

Earth spirits started pouring out of the geyser

Kusa: ...

Reimu: ...

Marisa: ...

Marisa: can we ignore that for a second?

Kusa: I mean... why not?

Reimu: I agree we need to rest for a bit

Marisa: I'm glad we could agree on my suggestion

Patchouli suddenly appears

Patchouli: This is dangerous that's why we must end it quickly!

The atmosphere seems shrouded by silence

Patchouli: I think, a little dip is fine...
