Kourindou, the tea is ready.
Thank you.
...It has a pleasant aroma. Is this black tea?
Yes, I found some in the kitchen so I decided to brew it. Are you fine without sugar?
I am, the flavor's enjoyable as is.
...
(The ninth head of the Hieda family, Akyu Hieda. I've heard of her, but this is my first time meeting her face to face. From what I know of the Child of Miare's life I expected her to be a bit more melancholic... but she's quite the cheerful child. Then again, a shorter lifespan might have given her a unique look on life.)
Rinnosuke is an inner monologue machine.
...Um, is there something on my face?
Ah, no, I was just surprised the shrine even had something besides regular tea. I'm curious as to who brought it. It doesn't seem like something Marisa would do.
You seem quite familiar with Reimu and Marisa.
Those two are always barging into my store and causing trouble. In fact, just today this animal was forced onto me.
...
Is that the pet Marisa has been keeping?
Indeed, Youkai Mountain is treacherous so she entrusted it to me. It only recently calmed down... I suppose it's worried about its master.
It's quite smart, then. Is it sapient?
Yes, it seems to understand our words. It certainly looks like a basic creature though.
...!
You're right, it got angry.
My apologies. Your master will return eventually, so please stay calm.
Though I do worry. I'm confident in our tactics, but what if a worst case scenario happens...?
If it does, they can use the transceiver to get in touch. It's perfect for that kind of thing.
I suppose you're right! Let's just hope it doesn't break in a danmaku battle.
It may be an antique, but I didn't have any issues carrying it around.
...For some reason, I'm suddenly nervous.
