Too lethal to be included in the game. Opponents would die of heart failure.

Things at the SDM are a bit better now. I've recovered enough to resume work, and with the ghost guarding the gate, it's been wonderfully quiet. As a matter of fact, I haven't found a single trace of an intruder, with the exception of a bone with a scrap of cloth hanging off it--I'll not speculate as to its origin. The shinigami is helping me with the mansion interior, or at least she should be... on the plus side, it's much easier to punish her when I need to, since she works (again, strictly nominally) so close to me.

To return to the subject of our new door guard, I should probably tell her not to eat the "striking" maids. Training them was a chore... I hope they come to their senses soon. I also hope Remilia-ojou-sama doesn't beat them up too badly for betraying her.

The errant maids' "strike" continues, and has actually intensified, as more and more staff members selfishly decide to stop working until Remilia-ojou-sama raises their pay, among other ridiculous demands. It's pretty much just me, Wriggle and the shinigami now. Even with time stopped, it's quite a hassle doing the work of the entire maid staff, and as a result I've been a little fatigued.

Ojou-sama had a brilliant (as usual) idea to solve the problem. We would attract people from all over Gensokyo by throwing a widely announced dinner party, and then abduct them and force them to do the maids' work for free. It would have worked perfectly, but for the interference of a certain annoying ghost.

Within seconds of her arrival, the spread I had worked on all day was decimated, as were a couple of unfortunate guests. With no one else available, it came down to me to forcibly remove her from the premises. Regrettably, in my weakened state, I slipped and allowed her to get the better of me. I fear I may have been eaten myself, had the janitor not pulled me out of there. (I'll have to give her a 10 yen raise later.)

My body still hurts all over, but that's not my main concern. With me out of commission for at least the next day, who will cook and clean for the SDM? I hate to admit it, but we're in the direst straits yet.

Apparently, some of the employees here took those "labor board" people from earlier seriously, and now they've presumed to stop working until Remilia-ojou-sama promises them higher wages, a "health care" plan, and insurance against being blown up by intruders. They call it a "strike." How ridiculous that they think they have the right to demand such things, or to withhold their servitude--I've a good mind to go out and kill them all, but replacing China has taught me that recruiting new employees would be even more trouble than we're having now.

There aren't many left working still. Even with time stopped, it's a little difficult to fill in for all the maids who decided to turn against ojou-sama. How troublesome...

We recently hired that bug youkai as the new janitor. I had my reservations at first, as she looked kind of young and weak, but she's at least been working earnestly, unlike the other new employee. She cleans the bathrooms well enough, and strangely, since she's been here, we haven't had a single fly or cockroach in the house.

If she continues to prove herself trustworthy, maybe I can have her watch the door guard after work, and make sure she doesn't fall asleep. Then I could go and see China every night.

Today I was giving that idiot shinigami one of her (increasingly common) punishment sessions when some humans came to the door. (Well, she wouldn't have succeeded in stopping them even if she was at her post.) The humans claimed to be from something called a "labor board" and said they were responding to complaints about me punishing the shinigami. How silly--isn't it a servant's job to obey her master unconditionally, and a master's right to punish the servant however she sees fit?
Anyway, the humans asked me a good number of questions, which started to get annoying rather quickly; for some reason, they looked rather distressed when I asked them if they could hurry it up, I needed to get back to punishing the shinigami. They started to get angry and make a lot of noise, so naturally I had to take care of them. Remilia-ojou-sama and Flandre-sama will eat well tonight.

I had my doubts when I let that idiot shinigami start working as the SDM's door guard--and she's confirmed every one of them.

Lazy and incompetent beyond what I thought possible, she spends a third of the day napping and another third reading something called a "phone book." I've tried punishment after punishment; I even bought some human-made coercion devices, but they haven't helped at all. While a good stabbing or a few days without food was usually enough to put China back in line, I don't know what I'm going to do about this one...

On top of that, she's not even interesting. The only thing she says to me is "Kyaaan!", except when I give her food (which I haven't done in a few days, by the way.) Even when I stab her, instead of pleading for mercy, she just cries her usual "Kyaan!" and falls over. For an immortal, she's not very tough.

I miss having China around to talk to. Maybe I should start going out more often?

My night with China went perfectly. She seemed overjoyed to see me--I'm still not quite used to her being happy rather than scared around me. She bought the services of a chaffeur, a popular job in the outer world that involves transporting someone, to take us to a rather exquisite restaurant. I'm still wondering how she managed to get the money together, especially if you add in the presents she got me... I hope she didn't spend an entire month's salary again. She was always kind of bad with money...

Over dinner, China told me everything. About how much she liked working at the Scarlet Devil Mansion and how much she misses me, about how even through the worst of my abuse she continued to believe that beneath it all was a kind, sweet girl, about how she never gave up her hope or her faith in that timid girl I was when we first met...
I was stunned. I knew she cared for me, but to hear it from her and at such length... I thought about all the terrible things I had done to her in the past, and I got this strange unpleasant feeling, one I'd never experienced before... "guilt," I think it's called?

China saw me looking gloomy--for her stupidity, she can be quite insightful sometimes--and immediately asked me what was wrong. I tried to evade the question a few times, but she was persistent. When I told her how I felt, she looked shocked and begged me not to be sad on such a special night. She told me that it was enough that I had stopped being cruel to her, and that she was happy just spending time with me. She said she hoped we'd be friends forever.

It was a wonderful evening--for a few moments I even forgot that I had left the SDM in that idiot shinigami's hands. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Inu Sakuya is moe.

I got a black cat named Lucky. Herp derp.

If I ever get a dog, it better be part maid, part loli.

I paid China a visit at the Sanzu no Kawa today. Surprisingly, she seems to be working earnestly now--since she was so busy, I couldn't stay long. We did have time for lunch, though--I treated her this time--and some catching up. She's certainly doing quite well for herself. Before I left, I gave her a copy of the photo from back then that I saved from the remains of her doghouse. She looked quite happy to see it again.

It was good seeing her again, although it was a little strange interacting with her without stabbing, hitting or otherwise hurting her in any way. My hand almost acted on muscle memory once or twice, but I managed to restrain myself.

Oh, and I found the new door guard slacking again when I returned. I'm sure I can put the paddle I bought while I was in town to good use tonight.

Since China's not coming back, I started looking for a replacement door guard today. I spent all day interviewing applicants, and was disappointed every time.

The first was some shinigami with red hair, I forgot her name. She got rather evasive when I asked her about the circumstances under which she left her last job. She screamed "Kyaaaaaaaan!" when I had the maids escort her out. Later that day she came back wearing an overcoat and a pair of dark glasses. I stabbed her and dropkicked her out of a window. I haven't heard from her since.

The ice fairy from the lake also applied. She was actually looking fairly strong until I gave her her aptitude test. The position doesn't require a high score at all, but she spelled "Scarlet Devil Mansion" with a "7." Also, she somehow managed to score in the negative range, when twenty points are awarded just for writing one's name down.

Another applicant was this orange-haired fairy dressed all in white. She was good at danmaku, I'll give her that, but she wouldn't answer any of my questions. Naturally, I had to have her forcibly removed from the premises.

I couldn't have imagined looking for a door guard would be so frustrating. It's almost enough to make me wish that China-baka was here.
