Why is she always so droopy?

China's been gone all day; I gave up looking for her after it got dark. I guess she really was serious about running away.

I had no idea the Scarlet Devil Mansion could be this quiet without China's endless "Please, I'm hungry, you haven't fed me in three days" or "It hurts, why are you doing this to me?" And without her, I don't have anything to do tonight. I'm poking one of her spare hats with my knife, but it's just not the same...

I can't believe her nerve, causing all this trouble and making me waste my whole day, but still... I almost feel like I maybe... miss her a little?

Ojou-sama felt like Chinese food today, which meant me going out shopping. On the way to the nearest human village, some pesky fairies--there are quite a few of them around, now that spring is coming--shot at me. Of course, I threw knives back at them until they fell. They went down quickly; it was hardly even entertaining.
Shortly afterwards, though, something unusual happened. A bunch of dirty-looking humans approached me, waving signs that read things like "Stop the Abuse" and "Stop Terrorism on Fairies." One of them accused me of being "cruel" to those fairies, and then the lot of them started chanting, "Two, four, six, eight! Today we stop the fairy hate!"
Anyway, I cut them to pieces. Such low-class humans aren't worthy of being food for ojou-sama.

The Chinese food turned out very well, by the way.

It seems this "Internet" is good for more than finding useless information. It has a system of private written communication as well, not dissimilar to the "postal" system used in human towns. Curiously, though, I have already received messages from a number of strangers:

The first, from one "Bob Chukwuemeka," said that he was a wealthy noble who had been driven out of power and needed my help to recover his fortune. I ignored it, of course. If he was weak enough to be deposed, that's his problem. Besides, he was obviously lying; who's ever heard of a place called "Nigeria"?

The next message, from "Hot Singles" (odd name--some weirdo youkai, probably), offered me a "bigger pen 15 in three days." I politely declined; although I'm not sure how a pen fifteen differs from an ordinary pen, the mansion has more than enough pens. Mr. Singles then responded with an offer of "unb3l13v@bl3 v1@gr@ s@le." I'll have to ask Patchouli-san what exactly that means sometime.

Lastly, "Sloppiest U. Epiglottis" (another weirdo youkai?) sent me a message entitled, "please your woman Jasper." I ignored it as well; I am perfectly capable of pleasing my lady without the help of someone who doesn't even know my name.

As in real life, I suppose all the weird ones come out at this time of year.

So it seems ojou-sama got one of those trinkets that Rinnosuke-san is selling. Personally, I don't see the appeal--this "computer" seems more like an item for bookworms, like the one in the library.

Nevertheless, wherever she may go, I shall protect and serve my lady, and so, here I am...
