Aya lights up in glee, but is too tired to start plans immediately. She just wishes you good night and flies off to her own bed. Feeling similarly exhausted now, you head off to your own hospital bed and quickly fall asleep. The next morning, Eirin runs a few more tests and gives you the green light to leave. "As long as you follow my directions and check back with me so I can check your progress, the injuries should heal completely. But if you want my personal advice. I'd advise you seek a less adventurous lifestyle" Her tone tells you she figured our at least part of the circumstances that brought you here. Thankfully for her, you had your fill of adventure for a long time.


After being discharged, the next few weeks are a blur of activity. You have to pack up your things, then sell your house, and smooth things over with the tengu officials, and most daunting of all explain that you're moving to certain individuals. Thankfully Aya is a master of white lies, so things go pretty smoothly. The last on the list is Reimu herself, can;t have her getting any wrong ideas about you vanishing from the village. Aya explains to her that it's more useful for you that you live closer to your workplace (True) that the tengu officials support you being there (It's more like tolerate, but it's close enough) that it would help get the residents of Youkai Mountain get used having more friendly contact with humans (She's betting on a small chance here, but it could happen) and that there's no reason to worry about you (Reimu is way too late for that)

Reimu looks at the both of you, suspicious. Her eyes flicker back and forth, as if hunting or any weakness. Then as if a switch were flicked, her face returns to the same neutral, slightly grumpy expression she always carries "Well if the Tengu officials are okay with it and you'll look after him, then it should be fine. Just don't think I'll fly all the way over there to help you" she says, as if suddenly deciding this wasn't her problem. As soon as you get out of earshot of her, you breath a sigh of relief.

It's not too long before your new life begins. With the generous funding of Megumu, the Bunbunmaru offices are repaired to be even nicer then before, and could even be redesigned with two people in mind. Moving into Aya's house takes a bit more effort, but with a bit of cleanup and unpacking your're able to settle in.

You adjust to your new life on the mountain. You get used to the different weather and the atmosphere that comes with living on a mountain, and are able to find your way around the tengu settlement soon enough. The other tengu even eventually get used enough to your presence. By then, knowledge of your relationship with Aya has spread far, that big blowout with Megumu meant it couldn't be stopped. Much to your relief, it seemed like once most people got over the surprise, they accepted it.

You're at home with Aya as she goes through some of the household expenses. You serve her the tea she wanted and she waves for you to sit down "Anon, I've been going through the expenses, and we've been doing great lately. If things keep going this well, we might be able to support a third member in this household. I'm sure Megumu would understand." She flashes you that familiar cheeky grin of hers.

You really choose one hell of a woman to fall in love with, didn't you?
