Both Miracles and Magic Exist!

“Hm...”

“There she is! Hello, Sanae Kochiya; I have something I’d like to ask you about!”

“Ah, it’s the other one. I really don’t have time for-- ...Well, no, this could work. Yeah okay, it’d be great to clarify some things.”

Girls are talking...

“...Okay, I thought it wasn’t like what Himekaidou said, but I can’t say I quite expected this. And you’re giving me explicit permission to publish this? I’d publish it anyways, but I will bring this up if you complain to me about what I’ve written.”

“Wait, what-- ...I think I might have a tengu to discipline before I go kissing anyone...”

"Somehow, that's actually exactly what I was thinking and the reason I haven't come to you already."

“5 billion IQ cute gamer maid... onion. Ah, that sounded better in my head... but at least tack on a nice adjective if you’re going to call me an onion!”

I will say i briefly considered miko and do think that would be funny but no lol, miko’s not who i have in mind currently

As soon as Sanae exclaims for Sakuya to stop, the knives that were already thrown freeze mid-air. They linger for a bit before reeling back to where they originally came from, as if someone hit a rewind button. Sakuya’s eyes turn back to blue and she slightly pouts.

“So, you’re not here to fight me. Maybe you should’ve thought about that before flinging danmaku towards my direction.” Almost in a whining tone, Sakuya mumbles, “I really wanted to cut someone today…”

“If it’s not for combat, then why are you throwing danmaku at unsuspecting people? Spreading spring cheer, is it? I didn’t know Lily White was taking auditions.”

“P-Phew... I-I’m sorry about that, Sakuya! Honestly, it was just for a bit of extra excitement. I mean, danmaku gets your heart racing for spring, right?”

“...Okay, I don’t really know what I’m doing. I sort of... switched jobs with Lily for a while, so I came to announce that it’s spring... well, that it’s still spring, seeing as it’s mid-May.”

“In my experience, people tend to make their own spring cheer every year…” Was that supposed to be… encouraging?

“…But hey, you said you were thinking of leaving Gensokyo? Like, actually?”

“L-- Leaving Gensokyo? No-- No-- What are you saying? I couldn’t possibly do that...” Well. She supposes that maybe she could, but she doesn’t want to.

“…That was kind of pathetic.” Wow, Reimu, that was extremely rude.

“Well, whatever… You filling in for her or something? That’d be one less headache for me, I guess… At least you’re not shouting.”

“Y-Yeah, that’s pretty much it...” Sanae sighs. “I-It’s just a little embarrassing, that’s all! I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it in no time...”
