Chapter 72

A golden-haired girl is trying to pry herself from the clutches of a pink-haired girl

Kusa: I need to do this Kasen! or else my body can't beat Yuuka anymore!

Kasen: like I said why do you need to eat your so-called strengthening apple! it looks so ominous!

the apple in question is on the plate that glows in yellow and green color that has been mixed making it murky in color

Kusa: come on... trust me on this, It won't harm me at all

Kasen: nope! I won't let you eat it

Kusa: ohh! is that your pet over there?!

Kasen: don't think I'm going to fall for that

Kusa: but you fall for me?

Kasen seemed taken aback but she immediately responded

Kasen: of course!

Vines have appeared and it grabs the apple and immediately Kusa disappears with the fruit

only to realize that Kusa is gone with the fruit

Kasen: !!!

--------

Kusa with the fruit in hand is in the Heaven

Kusa: I should be safe here... and no yokai will bother me

Kusa makes the apple smaller and she eats it whole

Kusa: it tasted weird... and it's not delicious at all

Kusa: I think I prioritize the effectiveness yet I didn't account for it with the taste...

Kusa: there are no side effects at all~

Kusa decided to teleport back but suddenly her body feel weak

Kusa: hehe... I thought so

Kusa is suddenly swallowed by a giant flower and appears in her little garden inside of the forest

Kusa: when everything is finished... I will not make stupid decisions anymore, that's why I hope they won't mind me being selfish...

Kusa's entire body become reddish and intense pain assaulted her entire being on top of that she vomited black blood

After a while, she breathes haggardly while being full of sweat

she then commanded the plants to clean the area

Kusa: I need to go back towards the shrine or else they will go worried...

Kusa disappears and appears inside of the shrine and she is immediately greeted by a worried Kasen that is almost I the brink of tears, she immediately hugs her and says sorry to her

Kusa decided to bond with Kasen for the rest of the day while doing her best to show her actions that she is sorry from the bottom of her heart

she immediately got scolded by Marisa and Reimu when they heard about it

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

Kusa can be seen with Kasen going towards the flower fields

Kasen: Why do you want to fight with Yuuka so badly?

Kusa: our last confrontation is her win that's why I must take a revenge

Kasen: who wins the most from the both of you?

Kusa: naturally me it's about 1053 - 693

Kasen: how often do you clash?!

Kusa: I don't know... depends if she sees me or I see her we immediately go to fight each other, to be honest

Kasen: are you bitter enemies?

Kusa: not at all... we are friends but the majority of our fights are either mini games or recreational activities

Kasen: what a complicated friendship...

Kusa: I guess, ohh! there she is!

a green hair girl is watching the flowers Bloom silently

Kusa: Yuuka!

Yuuka looks towards Kusa who is running towards her cheerfully

Yuuka: Kusa!

she then left her umbrella and happily walks runs Kusa

Kusa: Yuuka~!

Yuuka: Kusa~!

Kasen looks toward the two people who happily call each others name

when they almost hug each other Yuuka throws a punch and Kusa blocks it

Kasen: eh?!

Kusa kicks toward Yuuka and she blocks it but the sheer force behind that kick can be seen

Yuuka grabs Kusa's leg and decided to slam her towards the ground but Kusa used her hand to prevent it and use her other leg to kick making Yuuka release her

then they decided to go all out without caring about the damages they deal because Kusa can fix it anyway

Kasen: what just happened?

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

Kusa and Reimu can be seen in the Shrine just simply snuggling with each other while they both read the same manga

while occasionally Kissing when they felt like it

Kusa: does Gensokyo have a demon king or demon queen?

Reimu: yes, I think her name is Shinki...

Kusa: ohh... you meet her?

Reimu: un, her Palace is on Makai the place where we travel to free Hijiri

Reimu: she is the person who makes the incident that makes demons overflow from the cave

Kusa: ohh...!

Reimu: thought its more accurate to say she is the goddess of Makai but I guess demon king quite fits too

Kusa: no wonder...

The two continued to read and were satisfied being close to each other

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

Kusa can be seen walking around the cherry blossoms near the Hakurei shrine it's a rare occasion where Kusa didn't go towards another location nor does she have a companion

Kusa: I think the plants are quite healthy as always though I don't appreciate termites

Youmu: Kusa!

Kusa: Youmu, I'm afraid to tell you this but Reimu isn't here

Youmu: No, I'm not here for Reimu

Kusa: then is it Marisa?

Youmu: No, I'm not finding her either

Kusa: That's rare you aren't going here for them...

Youmu: I'm here for you...

Kusa: oh? you want my help, sure I could help you!

Youmu seemed hesitating

Youmu: then... can you... ki- kiss me...?

Kusa: Yes...?

Youmu's face becomes red and she decided to be direct about it

Youmu: can you kiss me?!

Kusa seemed surprised that she seemed quite lost and doesn't know what to do

Kusa: do you know what are you saying?!

Youmu: of course!

Kusa: where did you learn that?

Youmu: you, Reimu, Mokou, Reimu, and Kasen I caught you Kissing them

Kusa: ahh... why are you stalking me like a ninja?!

Youmu: I'm shy!

Kusa: I think it's better if you ask Yuyuko to be honest...

Youmu: I didn't see Mistress Kissing anyone and I only see you with them

Kusa: (ahhh! I felt like a bad person!)

Kusa: sorry but I can't do that

Youmu: but you said that you would help me?

Kusa: how is that helping you?

Youmu: I want to know if Kissing will make someone happy

Kusa: looks there's this emotion called love and I will teach you things so listen to my lecture

------

Kusa: and that's why I can't kiss you

Youmu: I see, then if I beat you will you kiss me?

Kusa: again no...

Youmu: I just want a kiss though...

Kusa: what a stubborn girl... (I guess that's why she can cut anything)

Kusa: I could kiss you on the cheek

Youmu seemed happy with it so Kusa decided to go for a quick peck

Kusa:!!!

But suddenly Youmu decided to claim her lips making her wide-eyed
