Chapter 37

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

Cirno: Did you see a giant yokai, Alice?

Alice: A giant yokai...? I see...

Alice: Behold my strongest creation!

The earth shakes and a giant doll can be seen behind her back

Alice: Goliath!

Cirno: I thought it was daidarabotchi...

Cirno seems down after it wasn't the yokai she has been expecting

Alice: with this, I could use you as a test target to showcase its strength in Gensokyo

Cirno: huh?! Using me as a test subject?

Cirno: Let me show you why I am the strongest fairy! By beating you and your toy to a battle!!!

Alice: very well... I will defeat you with this!

The doll has blonde hair and blue eyes, wears a dark grey coloured dress with a white apron and dark grey sleeves along with dark grey shoes. The bows on her head and dress are coloured red and she appears to have two large swords attached to her hands. She also seems to be taller than Alice's House...

Cirno: Kusa go to the side and let me show how cool I am

Kusa shrugs and appeared in the side with her human form and has popcorn and juice in her hands

The two battled but it seems Alice dolls are easily get frozen by Cirno

Cirno's attacks seem never-ending and she keeps pushing back Alice to the side

Alice hops onto Goliath's head and started controlling it

The Goliath seems doesn't take damage from Cirno's attack and started using its sword to slash at Cirno

Despite its giant size, the movement of the doll seems fast but Cirno due to her size the swords can't reach her

Cirno: this is a disappointment

Alice seems offended by Cirno's statement so she decided to use a spell card on her doll

The doll's eyes become red and smoke started appearing on its body

Cirno: what-

The doll's sword hits Cirno making her thrown away into the trees destroying some in the process

Giant ice appeared and flew towards the doll

Alice blocks it but gets pushed back making the doll staggered

And almost starting to fall

Ice spikes vastly dashed towards the Goliath doll encasing it with ice

Alice tries to move it but it won't budge

Cirno: now for the puppeteer

Cirno appears with some leaves in her clothes but she is relatively fine

Alice is readying for the next round but the doll seems to get heating

Alice: eh?

Kusa: explosion!

The doll explodes making Alice fly toward the sky

Kusa: I guess that's a win for Cirno

Cirno: Kuhahahaha...!

Cirno summons big ice and steps on it with her left leg and laughs loudly

Kusa: congratulations!

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

On the same day after celebrating with cirno, Kusa started to go towards the Kappa village to look for the progress of a super-secret project

When Sanae arrives next to her

Sanae: Kusa do you know the giant robot that I saw?

Kusa:...

Kusa: ahh! Sanae I didn't think I will accidentally bump into you... Hahaha...

Sanae: so you know about it?

Kusa: what do you mean...?

Sanae: It seems you won't say it to me very well I will defeat you to get my answer!

-----

Sanae is on the ground emitting some smoke and her entire being seems getting roasted by the heat

Kusa: sorry it's a super-secret thing that it's going to be a surprise

Kusa: I need fewer people to know about it

Sanae jumps up and dusts herself making her appearance neat again

Sanae: But... I need to know...!

Kusa: hmm...

Sanae: please~

Kusa: what a troublesome shrine maiden

Sanae: you sound like Marisa there!

Kusa: weird habits can rub off

Kusa: let's go!

They decided to fly down on the geyser centre where there's a metal hatch

The hatch opens slightly and they fly through it revealing a giant golden robot with several kappas working on it

Kusa: here it is...

Sanae: wow! It's like the movie I see when I'm younger

Kusa: and that is Suwako, she is the supervisor you can ask her what is the purpose of this machine because I don't want to spill information too much

Sanae: I see! Thanks, Kusa!

Kusa then goes out and fly towards the Scarlet Mansion for no reason in mind

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

Kusa is walking she saw Meiling seems tense so she decided to throw an apple at her

Meiling is surprised and punches the fruit blasting into oblivion

Kusa: Hey! Why are you tense today?

Meiling doesn't say anything and she suddenly rushed toward Kusa and blast her bullet but roots appeared preventing her to continue

Meiling: I apologise I thought you were a clone of Taisui Xingjun

Kusa: The god of Calamity?

Meiling: yes...

Kusa: what does the god want?

Meiling: I don't know about it, but I'm pretty sure he is trying to kill me

Kusa: then let me help you!

Meiling: Thank you!

Kusa then conjures a chair and put it next to Meiling while they guard the gates

Alice appears towards them but suddenly roots and punctures the fake

Meiling: how did you know Kusa?

Kusa: well Alice is currently beaten up when Cirno fights her so she can't appear here

Meiling: no wonder...

Marisa arrives at the gate greeting Meiling

Kusa: you aren't her! Go to hell you fake!!!

Kusa shoots a yellow beam blasting the fake Marisa

Meiling: I agree... she won't show up at the front gate but instead she will Go to the back and climb through the windows

Kusa: Hmph! Disguising someone important to me is like asking to get sentenced to death...

Meiling: still she is properly borrowing everything now I guess she is moved by your nagging Kusa

Kusa: maybe...

When Reimu arrives making Kusa eyed the fake Reimu menacingly

Kusa: Oi... do you think that it's funny?

Fake Reimu: another person? Impossible!! I didn't sense you

Kusa: show up your true self before I blast you to the sun's core...

Meiling: Taisui!

Fake Reimu: no matter I can easily defeat you two

The fake Reimu changes and throws its true form

It's a giant catfish

Meiling/Kusa:...

Meiling: pfft...

Kusa: okay that's funny

Giant Catfish: I will kill you!!!

When the giant catfish started to move a giant tree appeared on the ground piercing It towards the sky

Giant catfish: what-

Kusa: Shut up

Kusa said it in a monotone voice making Meiling surprised

The catfish suddenly sprouted hundreds of branches making its blood fall towards the ground

Kusa: It seems I lost my temper for a bit...

Meiling: Scary...

Kusa: ehh? It seems thanks to that catfish I hit evolution

Kusa: I guess it's not a bad deal!

Kusa seems back to her happy state

Meiling: remind me to not touch your bottom line

Kusa: you want to touch it?

Meiling: wait... I didn't mean it like that!!!
