The mermaid was near the bottom, looking up at the surface and watching the ripples and sunlight play with each other. A few moments later something else came into view; a strange shape hovering over the lake. It caught her attention, but before she could really get a better look it was gone. Silently she debated with herself on whether to see if that thing was still there, but in the end curiosity had won, and she slowly swam up to the surface.

Once her head was above the water she started to look around, and during her search her eyes settled on someone sitting by the shore. She wondered if this person was who she saw only moments ago, but instead of moving closer and trying to ask she just stayed where she was, hiding behind one of the rock formations and watching her.

This is the point where a normal person would make a mental note, however Akyuu is not normal in that regard, and ‘mental note’ is a meaningless term for her.  Anyway, Akyuu resolved to reprimand her servants for letting someone in unannounced.  That could wait however, it was not her guests fault.

Attempting to sell alcohol to Buddhists is wrong.

Attempting to force-feed alcohol to Buddhists is even more wrong.

Vapor caps on any liquor container whose contents approach or surpass 60 proof are no longer optional. Give those eyebrows a chance to grow back, ey?

Being told that you’re loud enough to raise the dead is not reason to panic and start screaming that the zombie apocalypse is nigh, especially Sober.

No longer allowed to challenge Oni to Drinking contests. I don’t care how close you were to beating that last one, The entire Youaki Mountain was dry for a week thanks to you.

Not allowed to get insanely drunk with Daichi without supervision Ever.

No longer allowed to douse people in alcohol as though it were sports drink after the ‘big game’. The last thing we need is liquid fuel poured on the Phoenix.

The term ‘sake bomber’ is not reason to make explosives out of ’ ‘rice wine’ for tactical public personal ANY use

Daichi is decent at giving advice, sober, with a grain of salt on certain topics. Taking his advice while drunk as the ‘Word of God’ or nearest equivalent is right out.

No, firing two Hakkero-units at each other at point blank is not a good idea, and probably voids any warranty that might have come with them.

Firing more than two Hakkero-units at each other under such conditions is something that should not even be considered, EVER.

Just because I CAN make something subjectively better, does not mean I objectively SHOULD attempt to do so. Let that sink in a bit.

Singing loudly in Finnish is a good way to get noticed. Not necessarily a good way to get noticed and Appreciated. Know the difference.

Not allowed to offer Peanut Butter to Momiji or Kagerou.

Should not replace the contents of Hiei’s various vials and containers with sake, beer, mead, whiskey, or any other known form of alcohol. Mislabeling is never a good thing.

Not allowed to ‘invent’ new forms of alcohol to circumvent the above list item for any reason whatsoever.

Not allowed to have ‘storm-offs’ with Akira. Last time it rained cats and dogs the human village had to deal with the triple threat of cold endemics, allergies, and mass wet dog smell for weeks.

When traveling, greeting people on the road politely is acceptable. Sneaking up and giving them ‘surprise hugs’, no matter how well they know you, is not. Even one person sent to Erin due to ‘accidental’ broken ribs is one person too many.

'Never Tickle A Sleeping Dragon' and 'Never Laugh at Live Dragons', while coming from the motto of a 'fictional' school for wizards and witches, and a fictional halfling respectively, are not only Literal, but Metaphorical Advice to be followed. Yes, not just ‘guidelines’.

Giving Narau ‘self-demonstrating articles’ was fun when it was the ‘Pranking book of Pranks’ or the ‘Encyclopedia of Encyclopedias’, but giving her self-demonstrating articles in the lines of the ‘Darkest book of Darkness’ or ‘Evil book of Evil’ is just asking to get attacked again.

"Who are you?" The goddess floated a bit behind the girl, curious about her clothes. Certainly not the usual in Gensokyo, though she did none they had bizarrely similar hats. Definitely enough to draw her interest.

R swiveled around to face the other person upon hearing an unknown voice. Were they... floating? She's encountered a few strange things in her time, but never someone who could float. This sparked the interest of both her and Gâteau.

"Why are there so many people suddenly here?" Leon couldn't help to pose the question, eyebrow raised. There was actually a reason why he spent most of his days in the library: it was quiet and barely anyone came. 

It was so vacant that even the librarian falls into heavy sleeps time to time like what they were doing now. He never really trusted any new people as well; Sam might have been all optimistic and kind to newcomers but not him. The biggest mistake was let a stranger get close to you: they could be an enemy while posing under such harmlessness. 

Moving a lock of black hair out of his eyes and pushing his glasses, the reaper moved from the table and in the blink of an eye was leaning on the wall besides the wooden doors.

Hands in pockets, Medusa shuffled throughout Death City, her head low. Still acting as the school’s nurse, she had her Soul Protect on to keep herself safe.
