Now that didn't take very long at all, did it? Do you think you can understand me after just four chapters? I'm quite doubtful, you know. Sure, the best of books should grab your attention in the first chapter but they never reveal their depth until the very end. Or at least a bit further on, yes? Ah well don't say I didn't warn you~

Do you have any idea where I'm supposed to go? It'd be nice to see Reimu-chan or Akyuu-san, even Marisa-san so long as she doesn't try to steal my books. How are we supposed to maintain the shop if nobody pays their lending fees?

Well this is a first...

A first what, Reimu-kun? You're going to need to be a bit more specific.

A first "you".

Well you're two "firsts" for me so I guess we're even. I hope that's not the only thing you came here to say to me though. From your point of view I'm sure it's been a while since we've talked.

Heh... I guess your mun told you about me, then?

Yeah, it's been awhile. Though I guess you could say we at least got to see each other during New Year.

Only a few things. She is thinking about sending me where you are, after all, and I always do my research. I heard you've got someone very important to you now.

Ah, that's... complicated. I wouldn't look too much into it, if I were you.

Aw I'm sorry to hear that Reimu-kun. You are at least making some new friends, right?

Well... Sort of?

Sort of? That doesn't sound very promising. What's stopping you? Do I need to come there and encourage you?

Hold on now, you don't have to go out of your way or anything.

Don't be silly, that's not going out of my way at all! It's not like there's nobody else to run Suzunaan. I'm sure that I can be useful where you are, too. And I'm your friend! I want you to be happy.

Getting the impression... this is going to blow up in m face later.

Don't be so dramatic, Reimu-kun. Besides, if I am being informed correctly it is Marisa-san's job to blow things up.

I meant figuratively.

I know that. I'm just joking with you, lighten up!

Yeah, well... I'm just not sure I'm completely okay with you winding up in possibly dangerous situations that come with mutant life.

You being worried about me is why I'm not. I've got you to look out for me!

Not this again... That's a pretty dangerous way of living, you know. I won't always be there.

Of course you won't. But that's why we've gotta make friends who can help defend us.

Or you could, you know, NOT get yourself in trouble as often.

I'm just a universal translator. I can't possibly be as much trouble as others you know, or even other students!

You have this profound ability to do so in spite of such humble power.

The Mundane just made a comment something like "Manga-only characters unite!" If that means anything to you.

... Really, I'm just wondering why you bear more than a vague resemblance to the Ferryman. Does she have a younger sister?

Sort of? My mun had to explain it a bit. She would also like to know if there is any disappointment at a lack of a character theme song? Muns are so strange.

Are you speaking of Onozuka-san? I don't believe we are related in any fashion.

From me? No, I don't need a 'theme' song. I think the mundane was speaking to another not long ago about it, but I don't mind.

Interesting. I wonder why there's a resemblance.

She got interested in our world because of the music, so I suppose it's only fitting.

I don't know. Perhaps it's something I should look into.

Mine only had to say 'it better have a cool title like Okuu's, and not a short one like Yukari's'.

Perhaps it is. It would be interesting to find out if a shinigami could have siblings.

A sentiment we both understand. Short names are much more difficult to make powerful.

Goodness, I highly doubt we'd be siblings even if we did happen to be related! Some form of distant cousins seems much more probable.

Very distant cousins at this rate...

[She ponders it for a moment, but then decides she doesn't care.]

... Though those might be the only things we have in common.

Eh? 'The only things we have in common'? I'm afraid I don't know what you mean, Miss.

Being, as the Mundane said, 'manga-only characters', and I think our connection to Reimu and Marisa.

'Variety is the spice of life', as they say in the other world. I would like to meet all sorts of people now that I'm here instead of helping with Suzunaan.

Well, you'll get your opportunity and then some.

[And she has little interest in meeting new people but she's not going to mention that.]

Not just others from our world, but many others from other worlds as well.

Gosh I know! It's all so very exciting!

[It's nice of you not to rain on her fun.]

[She'll do something eventually. Kasen is the Fun Police.]

Well, don't get into too much trouble. There are a lot of things out here that aren't as friendly as others. And are a lot more violent than small, forgotten youkai.

[Ew Fun Police. Get out of her post.]

I don't see myself getting into that much trouble, I'm just a humble part-timer.

[Make her :|]

You never know.

Only after four chapters? My, that's quite a bold move. [Sup, Kosuzu. You may not know it, but Mamizou's met you before.]

I'd say it's more out of impatience than boldness but that appears to be par the course for her. [Yeah she's got no idea.]

Well, sometimes boldness and impatience go hand in hand, and it can either be for better or for worse.

Ah~ I hope it's for the better. I don't want to be sitting around forever when there are so many places with books I haven't read yet.

Oh, so you like books, do you?

Oh yes, very much so! My family owns and runs Suzunaan in Gensokyo, perhaps you've heard of it? We have a lot of rare and import books, and even do some printing of our own.

Suzunaan...oh, that would be in the human village, wouldn't it? I haven't had a chance to visit, I'm afraid. [Lies, of course.]

That's right. I hope you'll think of us the next time you're looking for reference material or simply a good read. Our selection is quite good.
