>having a turbodyke as hero
I'd be worried.

are these the creatures you're so worried about? they seem rather pathetic to me. i dont see why everybody is so scared of some overgrown housepets with tits.

When are you going to start working? People are worried about you, trying to help you find solutions. Why don’t you try to change? I know too many NEETs including a family member and I don’t know what to do

>Some of the agencies representing the actresses were worried I'd influence some of them to follow my lead so I was asked not to appear in it.
These agencies that manage the talent control everything with an iron grip, huh. I may not like it but I have to somewhat respect their abilities to protect the business from outside foreign threats that might poach away Japanese talent.

This is as dumb as when Satori-sama explained to me that we aren't a 'Nuclear Family'—despite me being part of our family—because she's not married… What is the connection between being MARRIED and NUCLEAR?! The same goes for 'labor' and 'delivering the baby'; that's just plainly dumb!

… Ugh, I want to bury my head in so much cement; it's unreal.

Yuugi sighs, patting me on the back—ouch, ouch, ouch—as we fly towards the palace; Koutei and Suika staying behind for one obvious reason and the other I've already forgotten during my initial panic. “Don't be so rough with yourself, Utsuho.”

I groan, the eye on my chest staring at me from below. “Koishi-chan is delivering her baby and she's only got Orin to her side… That's, like, bad news, no? Satori-sama told me when her mama had Koishi that her papa almost lost his hand! I don't want Orin to lose her hand; how are we playing kancho then?!” I suppress the overwhelming desire to scream and release the fission building inside, but refrain from doing so. The huge oni flying over to my side laughs heartily and pats my back… It's wonderfully soothing, though the boom burst that's her voice almost makes me wish she'd touch the arm cannon strapped to my lower back and get at least three cancers from high dosage of gamma radiation…

… Nah, that's just the situation speaking. 'Remember not to give others cancer', that's one of Satori-sama's strictest rules.

“That's what you're worried about? Games~?” She flies a bit further ahead, calm despite our predicament. “Orin and Koishi are strong; they can hold by themselves until we get to them—and if I'm not mistaken, Kokoro is still with Koishi, right? So it's likely—”

“—That Okina transferred both to Eientei.” The sudden voice takes our flight to a stop, gazes turning to a frowning Satori, the palace about 300m ahead. “What has happened to Koishi and Rin, Reiuji? Are they al—”

“SATORI-SAMA, KOISHI IS GIVING BIRTH!” I yell, rushing over to Satori-sama and locking her in a tight hug. I know she doesn't like affective shows in front of others, but I'm a nervous wreck right now, so it doesn’t count! “O-Orin told me, but I didn't understand! I thought she'd gotten a job or something! But how'd she get a job while pregnant?! Sorry, Satori-sama!” I cry, my wings fluttering recklessly. Unlike the usual, Satori-sama doesn’t push me away, her eyes widening with the information.

… Softly, she breathes in and then out, one hand rising to pinch the bridge of her nos, the other patting my back—I prefer hers~ “I… see. Sister is having her child…” She let go of the hug, eyes on Koutei in the distance. Her expressions, always on the subtle side, are more prominent than ever up close; she looks agitated, tense and bears a gaze I can easily distinguish, even perceptible through her slightly narrowed third eye…

Satori-sama is afraid.

“Oki—”

“—My, my~isn't that wonderful? A new family member!” I recoiled in surprise at the suddenness; a woman with golden hair abruptly appeared from behind Satori-sama, her elbows resting on top of pink hair and her chin on top of her wrists.

… Satori-sama is afraid of her.

That woman is dangerous.

Oh, I'll need my big iron to deliver proper Armageddon!

Following muscle memory, the arm cannon is swiftly taken out of my back and expertly cocked to my right arm, hatches opening and letting air enter and cool down the hadron engines. Stress gone; all that remains is protectiveness. “Oi, leave her alone, grandma!” I yell, pointing the output exit straight in between those golden eyes.

Satori-sama looks on the brink of a panic attack. “Reiuji, stop!!”

“Grandma…? That's one blow to my pride.” She creepily caresses Satori-sama’s chin. “You think your pet is gonna shoot me, Sato—”

The air above us melts into boiling white vapor as a flash overpowers all other lights and a fission cluster with twice the sun's power whizzes towards the blonde grandma. “I hate creepy ladies! You're the worst!”

—but, before the pest can be vaporized, Yuugi slaps the reaction into nonexistence. W-What?! Why is she— “Heh, Utsuho, you drank a lot, didn't you?” She chuckles and, for no motive, comes onto me and passes an arm around my shoulder, holding me close. Satori-sama has clenched teeth; that old grandma rhythmically beating a finger on top of her head. Her gaze is amused. “Sorry, she said she wasn't allowed to drink because she'd go haywire, but I got her wasted anyway~my bad!”

That's… just a lie! I didn't drink a droplet of alcohol!

Satori-sama speaks before I can explain myself. “Ah, I'll be punishing you accordingly, Reiuji.” Her stare, unlike a moment ago, is calmer. Huh…? “Sorry for the actions of my pet, Okina. It won't happen again.”

“Hm… Okay! Apologies taken! We discuss my reward for not disposing of her where she stands later~” Oh, is this a threat?! Just as I'm about to say some mean words, Yuugi squeezes my shoulder sternly, halting me. GAH—Why?! “Now, let's talk about our problem…”

Her eyes turn to Koutei.

Honestly anon it will almost certainly be fine. Stay close to home to start with if you're worried. You don't have to even take photos today, just go for a walk with her in your bag, baby steps.

>>46877010
at the time the assumption was probably just that she was too strong to just kill and it was easier for everyone involved to just scare her into never coming back
now, after the latest CoLA chapter, it's probably because they were worried that if they killed her, it'd lead to someone tracking down gensokyo. They apparently spare a number of outsiders for that reason.

>>46873194
She said they had discussed doing things like increasing its hp but were worried about it bugging out and that it'd probably just be kept as a victory lap but also that "something may happen"

>>46873194
she said she talked to staff about up'ing its stats but they were worried it'd bug out. don't know if she decided on how to make it more interesting though.

akutan worried

>>46872940
She's watching everyone get netherite and she's worried her unenchanted diamond isn't going to cut it lol

taso is a bit worried since the battle is going pretty smoothly

The giant cursed hand threw Yuugi, her body sailing through the air and Toppling backward. almost falling off of the branch she eventually landed on.
Before she was even able to regain her senses, she was seized by the neck, Kasen’s bandages acting like vipers as they constricted around Yuugi’s neck.

Kaen had already arrived, floating up in the air towards her one-time sister as her eyes remained in shadow. Yuugi looked down at Kasen, pleading with her sister to stop as she joined her on the luminous white branch.

“Looks like I got here a moment too soon, eh kid?” Suika said, half in jest, half in apology. Realistically she was the only one who could breach Kasen’s Senkai in time.
Kasen turned as quickly as she could, letting go of Yuugi with her bandages so she could whip them at Suika.

But she wasn't fast enough, her bandages were too tangled around Yuugi and Suika had already gotten too close before announcing herself. By the time Kasen had fully let go of Yuugi Suika was already on her, showing the stump of Kasen’s cursed hand towards her like a dagger.
Kasen's vision went white as pain suddenly overtook her. Falling onto her Knees Kasen twitched as the arm forced itself back into her body, feebly grabbing it as it writhed.
Suika flipped over Kasen’s prone form and landed in front of Yuugi.

Yuugi shook her head at the irresponsible blue little Oni. “Huh, well I guess this is it.”
Looking back to their fallen foe, the Oni saw as Ibaraki rose to her feet, flexing her hand as her gaze remained transfixed on her palm, a single word escaped her mouth. “Koutei…”
Peering down off the the branch of the tree, Ibaraki ignored the two looking down at her dragon's prone form, wriggling among the roots of the tree.

“So, we gonna still have a problem?” Suika coughed, bouncing on the heels to her feet, before bringing her Ibuki gourd to her mouth as she did so. “Or are you free from Yukari’s control?”
Ibaraki didn't even turn to face them waving them off with one hand dismissively and in a dismissive tone. “We’re fine.”

“We’re?” Yuugi questioned, looking at the reformed Oni warily.

Ibaraki looked over her shoulder annoyed. “Yeah, ‘we’re,’ you two, me, we’re fine now.” The remade Oni brushed them off, flicking her hand and the remnants of her bandage, droplets of cursed liquid flung away as they dissipated into nothing.

“So, uh, I guess we should go kill Yukari now?” Yuugi shrugged noncommittally, it was something she really wanted to do, but Suika was fond of her for some reason and Ibaraki was quickly making things awkward.

Ibaraki rolled her eyes. “Yeah, Whatever, I have my own shit going on. You guys can do whatever the fuck you want.” At that the Oni jumped away, leaving a crater behind in the branch.
“Dramatic much?” Yuugi complained. Ibaraki had always been theatrical and prone to wild outbursts of emotion, even when she tried to appear calculating or to be taking her time it was often due to her own anxiety and inability to properly understand her own emotions

Suika shrugged. “Eh, kid can go do what she wants, not like she's gonna help Yukari.” Suika just shook her head, sometimes she really didn't get these youngsters she surrounded herself with. “But we can’t kill Yukari, her power is interwoven with Gensokyo; the most we can do is seal her away.” Suika might’ve made a more impassioned defense, but she couldn't defend her long-time friend, she had gone too far.

Yuugi just sighed, this thing had gotten all too complicated anyway, they might as well help take out Yukari. Besides, she really shouldn't be putting Suika into a situation where she has to be the serious one.
--

It only took a second for Ibarak to land among the roots beneath the trees. Koutei, still possessed, wriggled in pain as he sensed her presence. Tring to get up and fight her he reared his head, the gap-eyes still plainly visible.

A pained smile crossed Ibaraki’s face and with a voice like that of greeting an old friend, she muttered “Yukari…” And then her bandages, her whisps exploded outwards, grabbing onto Koutei before releasing a burst of white energy. “That should fix things.”

Small motes of the white energy lingered as Koutei went to her, groveling. The motes of light burned against her skin.

“Mhhh, yes we should get home Koutei. Komachi is probably worried sick about me.” The thought of her friend brought a smile to Ibaraki’s face, although she would’ve preferred it if-

“It’s been washed away-”

What was that, there was a voice, faint and distant but unmistakable. A human voice, weren’t they all evacuating, that was poetry wasn’t it, who cou-

“-The waves wash the old moss’ hair”

Ibaraki’s heart sank as she heard the voice more clearly.
It seems like the Oni had one more piece of business to take care of before she could head home.

>>46870080
-Ran-

The last of the Wolf Tengu patrol slumped to the floor, they hadn’t been many, most were probably at Youkai mountain, but those that were left acted as the only significant enemy roadblock for the escapees.

“So cool! So cool!” Chen cheered, jumping up and down as she stood next to Anon, excited at all of the violence and hand-to-hand her guardian had to do in order to defend them.
“Chen…” Ran wanted to object, but it was her own behavior that was causing Chen to act like this, at the very least she wasn’t a rebellious type of teenager. They’d have to have a talk later, she didn’t want to encourage a ruffian-esq personality in her charge.

Ran turned to look at Anon, he had a worried look on his face. While not his friends, and likely to have been among the number of women who abused him while he was trapped in the HSE’s confines. He didn’t like seeing anyone hurt. “They’re okay, right?”

Ran bit her tongue, Anon was a nice man, far too nice, far too willing to extend an olive branch, it was his best and worst quality, and to her own shame had taken advantage of him as well. “Don’t worry Anon, I wouldn’t hurt them too badly.” Ran’s smile was beatific as she spoke.
For a while then they continued venturing outwards from the nucleus of the Hakurei Shrine Experience until they came to an intersection and the world shook.

“Ugh” Chen held her head as the world rearranged itself, before the three of them, the four way intersection had changed into a branch path. Right and left, on the right path __, and on the left path __.

“C’mon, what's with this confusing place.”

“I fear Yukari and Okina’s battle has had more side effects than I was led to believe.” Okina could’ve betrayed them, she could’ve, but did she? What motive would she have? A distraction for Yukari?

Ran terminated that line of thought, she didn’t trust the backdoor god, but they didn’t have any other choice, they had to stick to the plan. They had to either find Goro and Seija, escape of their own, or send our a call of rescue and find somewhere to wait it out.
But if the god did betray them… Ran was beyond human, but she was not beyond rage.

Anon just shook his head, he’d heard a lot of Okina and Ran’s planning, but it also sounded mostly beyond him so he hadn't picked up much.

“Alright.” Ran turned to Anon, her serious tone of voice causing Chen to flinch. “Anon, I need you to trust me about this next part, Yu-”

Suddenly Ran froze, stopping. Ran gulped, taking as large a breath as possible before her body shuddered, and she dropped her Shinki-Talisman to the ground. Ran dropped, almost falling over entirely, but instead, a resolute spirit flamed in Ran’s eyes.

Anon had almost gone to help her before he saw the same change undergo Chen, but instead of managing to stay awake, she shuddered before the light went out in her eyes and she began to fall.

Anon moves before he is able to think, barely scooping Chen up into his embrace before her head can hit the floor.
“A-Anon…” Ran rasps out, taking measured and careful breaths. “My connection to Yukari, c-can you hold Chen for me?”

Ran had expected to have longer until Yukari noticed and for Yukari to resist Ran’s effort to break the connection more. Something was wrong, but in this state being able to hold herself together was a minor miracle. Of course, she'd get more coherent over time, but she was under the impression that Goro and Seija would’ve found them by now.

Distantly Anon could hear the clicking of shoes heels and claws against the hardwood floor, the Yamawaro had appeared in few today and they did not go barefoot. Immediately one word appeared in Anon’s mind, Otters. The Kiketsu had noticed their missing men.
Anon tensed before sharing a quick look with Ran, they needed to move, and now.

I was legitimately worried she would try to do that. I'm glad Pekora put her foot down and told her to knock it off.

Zako wither wwwww
Akupeko were worried over nothing

>>46860133
I don't feel bad for her, I feel worried about her and it makes me uneasy. I can't enjoy the stream with all of the self depreciating stuff she says. She needs to learn to be more like Miko or Kanata on how to react to failures/fuck ups

It’s just maikura it’s not that big of a deal. Although when she died the second time chammers was worried pekora wouldn’t let her back in

>where did your life take you to end up here?
Never made friends in high school or college or since. Porn addiction and unmonitored internet access. Introvert but still lonely.

>have you given up on ever being with a woman?
No. If I do I'm going to kill myself. But I will always cling onto the 1% chance so suicide isn't likely.

>do you ever feel any feelings of self loathing relating to your doll habits?
Yes. I hate stooping to this/being dependent on it. In my opinion I am a worse person for having all the toys I do. But at this point I see them almost as a necessary evil.

>do you own a loli doll and if so did you get nervous or paranoid while it went through customs or whenever someone is at your house?
I don't have any dolls yet but have hips and torsos, was only slightly more worried about the loli toys than the normal ones. More out of fear of embarrassment with pickup/delivery not because of legal problems. Nobody comes to my place except apartment inspection so i should hide my dolls better before I leave for work. I have a few out just drying.

Slightly surprising Hana, Sanae was able to switch between that seemingly airheaded persona and the motherly side she knew and admired without issue. She had a feeling she got the abbreviated version, but the plan was simple enough. Once the signal is struck, her friends and Okina’s cronies would start their attack to distract the guards and cause chaos. Once the big guns started moving around; Reimu, Mima, Yuuka, and the other heavy hitters would make their move.

Though Hana didn’t understand what a ‘big kaboom!’ meant, she figured her excited friend meant there was to be a signal. That was when the fireworks should start… whatever that meant, and Hana and some other surprises should show themselves. Passion aside, the plan seemed solid to Hana’s mind, it was to be an all-out assault where they’d rush into the damned building; smash it up to cause chaos for the filth there, then have… Aya? Rush into scoop Anon up and get out before things get too dangerous.

It sounded flimsy and a little complicated to Hana, but she couldn’t find anything to poke a hole in; nor was it her place really. Still, if Sanae is vouching for them, and Kanako has even more tricks up her sleeves she’d have to trust these Youkai with her father’s life. Her friends may be good, and she’d trust them no matter what… but having riff-raff youkai flood the village to do damage control? Letting so many hostile youkai run amok without warning anyone? A cold pit started forming in her belly, one that she wouldn’t let show; if it was all to get father out…

Before she got lost in the void of her worried mind, she heard Sanae’s voice grabbing her attention. She blinked as she Sanae tilted her head to the side, “Hana-chan? Did you hear me? I was asking if you had any questions, did you get enough sleep?”

Sanae reached over to the table at those words, brushing some hair into place where it got loose. Closing her eye for a second, Hana enjoys the of Sanae’s palm and realized that she might just be tired still, judging by how she wanted to use it as a pillow. Either way, Hana responded with a bit of forced energy in her voice, “No, but I’m fine. It’s just a lot to take in… I’m not sure I understand everyone’s plan, but if all I have to do is help fight, I can help break down any barriers!”

The energy in her voice seemed to fool Sanae at least, her mother’s face was more unreadable, as always. Setting Sanae with a smile, she tried ignoring her mother’s seemingly grumpy eyes. They did discomfort her normally, but right now she didn’t want to think of her and Kasen fighting to the death. Dragging Kasen’s family into this and forcing Hana to fight them after so long, mother jumping at this suicide mission… Hana kept the smile on her face as she tore her eyes away from her mother’s figure.

She’d have to do something about Kasen, it was her fault that Kasen was brought so low, her fault that Kotei was taken prisoner… She felt guilty, but didn’t let it show on her face, she didn’t think she had what it took to fight her, but there must be another way…

Chuckling in a way that strangely annoyed Hana, Sanae smiled at her words, “that’s right, all we need you to do is help and take down any traps we might miss. We’re counting on you!”

Hana felt a bit dissatisfied, like she was being brushed off to an extent. Crazy of course, this was Sanae we were talking about, but if she just didn’t want Hana in danger then of course she would put her far from things… With the decision that Sanae was just being too motherly, Hana decided she wouldn’t push for more. She’d just have to do things like the incident resolver she has to be, quietly and directly…
