"Is it to do with Big Sis Yamame?" She asked, and - giving up - I nodded silently. "Oh. Um, you don't have to tell me. As long as it's not going to upset her." I hoped that it would do the exact opposite. After saying that, I turned my head and glared at Kisami, who must have been psychic, because she looked up and spotted me, then blew a kiss in my direction. "Big Sis is really hard to deal with sometimes." Nai commented, looking down at Kisami.

From behind us, the door opened and I felt a hand slip across my shoulders before taking my hand. "Yura's fine." Yamame announced. "And so is Reiko." She sighed and shook her head. "Like I said, they love to play up any drama. So, what have you two been talking about?" I shrugged and - before Nai could reply - said that we'd just been talking about what the preparations for the party had been. "Hmm...Well done, Nai. You've done a great job, haven't you?"

"Um, Y-You really think so!?" Nai asked excitedly, and Yamame nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Big Sis!" Nai's smile was even wider and proud than Yamame's was, and I was glad to see that working with the other girls hadn't diminished her blatant hero worship of Yamame at all.

Then, I heard a door downstairs being thrown open. "Outta the way, outta the way!" I heard a voice yell. Yuugi, it seemed. "Unless you want to be eating this off the floor, give me some room!" I looked down and watched as a bunch of the sisters scrambled out of the way as Yuugi strode through the room, carrying so many plates, packages and parcels that they towered over her head. Behind her followed Lady Kasen, then Raki - Who seemed to be dripping slightly onto the floor - and finally Suika. All of them were carrying something, though it looked like all of the alcohol had been kept out of Raki's reach. Probably for the best, I thought. "Alright, I've got an announcement to make!" Yuugi shouted, beginning to drop all of her baggage down on the tables. "You lot are just about at the end of your restoration contract!" She said, her voice easily overpowering anyone else. While she talked, the other oni began to offload the supplies they had brought. Honestly, the tables looked like they might not be able to take the weight. "You've been here...All week, and it's been a great week!"

"We've been here for months!" One of the spiders, a taller one with light brown hair called back.

"Months?" Yuugi replied with a frown. "And you haven't had a big party yet?" Yuugi looked up at Yamame, Nai and myself. "What are you, slave drivers!?" She shouted at us. "Well!" She clapped, sending a burst of air across the room. "We can't have that, can we!? Now, you've all done an excellent job, so call this a token of my appreciation!"

"So get drinking!" Raki shouted, clapping her hands together. She still looked a little...damp. I could see the light shining off of her hair.

"Get eating!" Suika added, repeating the gesture, her various chains flying everywhere dangerously.

"All night long!" All four of the oni shouted, as they took celebratory poses.

And the room erupted in cheering as the Kurodani family got underway, conversations breaking out left and right. "Well, she certainly knows how to make an entrance." Yamame muttered, watching as Yuugi waved in a small group of...Not-oni, not-spider youkai. I really had no clue what they were, but all of them were holding instruments. "Wow, she really went all out."

"At our expense." A voice muttered, and we looked over to see that Reiko had joined us on the balcony. Yura was on her other side. "All because Yura here sent you," She nodded at me, "Up to see her without telling me. I was responsible for half of those contracts in the first place." I frowned and went to open my mouth, but she cut me off. "I'm not blaming you. You didn't know."

"I apologized already." Yura grumbled, still poking at the cut above her eye. "I didn't know that it was going to go like that. And I apologized twice for announcing this party. At least it seems to have come together." Yura pushed off of her side of the balcony and came around to Nai's side, where she ruffled her hair and gave her a hug. My deepest congratulations to our little sister, Nai!" She announced. "You might have an apprentice here, Rei."

I long for a slice of life touhou manga telling the four deva girls' shenanigans. Know just how wicked Kasen was when she was Ibaraki-douji too.
