Chapter 59
What am I doing? I don't know, to be honest
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kusa, Reimu, Marisa, and Mokou are in the shrine
Kusa is just leaning against Mokou while Reimu is thinking deeply and Marisa is trying to solve a crossword puzzle
Marisa: Reimu... I guess we should talk about it
Reimu: ohh? Do you mean that?!
Marisa: yeah...
Reimu looked at Mokou
Mokou: I guess we could
Kusa: What is this? Are you some sort of a secret meeting?
Marisa: it's about you Kusa
Kusa: What? Did I do something wrong...?
Marisa is hesitating to say it but she held resolution and looked Kusa in the eye
Marisa: you are helping humans too much
Kusa: Yes...?
Reimu: you know the quote you tell me? Give someone a fish and they can fill their stomach in one day but if you teach them how to fish they can feed their selves in a whole lifetime
Kusa nods
Mokou holds Kusa's hands
Mokou: I know that it's hard for you but you need to stop helping them
Kusa is shocked and looked at them
Marisa: if you keep doing this humans will rely on you like a caged pet they rely on you for food and when you are gone they will be helpless
Kusa: but-
Reimu: you are not going to exist forever you are already aware of that... everything has a limitation Kusa
Mokou: you have to carry everything by yourself Kusa... trying to help humanity
Mokou: when in fact you have no responsibility to do so
Marisa: of course because of that responsibility you are staring and thinking a lot more and the carefree you are slowly disappearing and the bright smile is getting rarer
Reimu: and we don't want that... the very person who we fall in love with the cheerful person who always being cheerful and the person who makes our lives full of colors
Mokou: we want you back Kusa
Kusa is shocked and realized it is almost too late and she started tearing up
Mokou, Reimu, and Marisa hugs her and she started crying
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the dream realm
Kusa and Doremy are sitting beside each other on the vast grassy plains
Kusa: always think that the greater the power the greater the responsibility is...
Kusa: but in reality, if you have no responsibility, to begin with, why would you make one...
Kusa: I'm foolish and acted selfishly I just helped then and didn't realize what will happen in the future
Kusa: helping is a one-time thing because it doesn't help if you do it often
Kusa: its called being a reliance
Kusa: not making humanity do anything more but eat my fruits will surely rely on me and be miserable when I'm gone
Kusa: and I'm very sorry Doremy for brushing this kind of topic whenever you bring it up
Doremy: don't worry about it I'm glad that you have been awakened by the truth because if it's too late I will make sure to wake you up forcefully
Kusa: thanks...
Doremy: welcome back Kusa
Kusa: yeah... it's good to be back
Kusa reaches her hand and Doremy shakes it
--------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, Kusa is sleeping while leaning on Mokou while Reimu and Marisa are doing chores and cooking food
Sukuna: ohh? Kusa is getting sleep in the morning? that's rare
Mima: Hello guys... eh? Kusa sleeps?
Marisa: yeah... that's why don't talk too much in a loud voice
Marisa: help me Mima-sensei
Mima: okay
Sukuna: I need to help too...
--------------------------------------------------------------
Kusa is stirring up to be awake and what greeted her is the warm light from the evening sun
Kusa is being hugged by Reimu, Marisa, and Mokou but instead of being surprised she just indulges the warmth she felt
--------------------------------------------------------------
Kusa is playing with the fairies in the Misty lake with the Reimu, Mokou, Marisa with some fairies, and Hime as a judge
Kusa slides and prevents the ball from sinking into the water and bounces it to the side of a kelp net
Cirno slides into the water with her ice and jumps to spike the ball towards near Daiyousei
Daiyousei blocks it making the ball fly upwards
Marisa jumps and hits the ball hard next to Luna
But Mokou appeared and returns the ball with much more power
Kusa attacks the ball making it change direction and hit the area next to a green fairy making a huge splash making the opposite team get wet
Hime: team KMMS 1 - RMCL 0
[Kusa, Marisa, Milky, Sapphire, Red fairy, Blue Fairy
Reimu, Mokou, Cirno, Luna, Green fairy, yellow Fairy]
Reimu serve this time and she performed a spike toward Milky
Milky tries to block it but it bounced off in another direction and Sapphire saved it and pass it towards Marisa who is near the net
Marisa tried to do a spike but what greet her is Mokou's defense so she decided to do a normal hit making the ball curve towards the opposite court
Cirno catches up to it and returns it back
Sapphire bounced it back
Luna bounced it towards Mokou who quickly hit it towards the Milky who caught off guard
Hime: KMMS 1 - RMCL 1
Marisa is the one that serve this time and she made sure to add some flavors to it making the ball fly like a meteor
Reimu blocked it and the ball flew high up
Mokou used her fire to make her jump higher and punch the ball making it covered in flames heading towards Kusa
Kusa: eh?!!
Kusa blocks it with her natural immunity to fire and returns it toward the farthermost point of the ring
Cirno slides quickly and used her ice power making the ball bounce outside of the bounds
Hime: KMMS 2 - RMCL 1
Cirno: why?!!
Hime: you shouldn't make the ball go outside of the court or else the enemy will get the point
Mokou: I guess we should be serious
Reimu: Yeah... Kusa and Marisa are doing very good despite being at a disadvantage
Mokou releases her fiery aura, Cirno releases her chilly aura and Reimu Released her divine aura
Marisa and Kusa looked at each other and released their aura Kusa's yellow-green and Marisa whose aura is yellow is shining in the court
Hime: what is this?! A fight?
The main participants don't care anymore they will do anything to prevent the others to settle a score
In the end, they caused a giant splash making the entire fish community have a trauma including Hime
KMMS 5 - RMCL 2
They have to stop because the night has already have come
