23 Day One of Extreme Not-So-Ordinary Ordinary Day

-Day One-

-Late Morning, Human Village-

-Me POV-​

You know, I did expect something to happen soon, so I'm not gonna act like I was surprised or something…but still…really?

I already fill my quota for this week so I went to the sweet shop to buy some sweet, but look who did I found…no, it's more like who found me.

[Lv.? The Closed Eyes of Love, Komeiji Koishi]

I sense she's beside me, with some kind of dish shape thing on top of her figure, presumably her hat, and some kind of rope like thing around her body, I guess that's her third eye cable then, and she's slightly shorter than me.

Right now I'm in the outside chair of a sweet shop and Koishi is sitting beside me and she's eating my other dango.

As for the reason why I said 'I expect something to happen', the system gave me a quest this morning.

[5* Wild Ordinary Days]

[Survive the upcoming 3 wild days]

It's sketchy as fuck dude, I can smell the apocalypse flag from miles away.

And because of that I always on edge ever since this morning, I always open my eyes to check my surrounding for any Youkai, even though my sense didn't sense anything at that time.

But thankfully Akyuu help me tone down my worry.

"Is something wrong, Arah-san?" Akyuu ask.

I startled when I hear her voice.

Both of us are eating our breakfast right now.

"You look a more tense than the usual, is something bothering you?" Akyuu ask again but with worry this time.

I start rethinking the situation.

'…Now that I think about it, why do I even worried about it? Isn't my daily life already threatening enough as it is just by being an outsider in Gensokyo, so once again, why do I even worried with what the system said about surviving this specific three days?' I finished my thinking.

"…It's nothing serious, I rethinking what I'm thinking before we ate and I'm a fool to even thinking about it this morning, so thank you for worrying about me, Akyuu-chan." I said my gratitude to her.

"..I don't really understand what's going on but you're welcome, I guess." said Akyuu while confused.

I just nod at her.

And now, let's go back to Koishi.

Why the fuck is she here? Isn't she supposed to be like only start appearing after Subterranean Animism because Reimu and co. or just Reimu start battling her, resulting she's curious enough to go meeting other people, isn't that how the stories goes?

…The system, it must be. But what am I supposed to do now? Aren't I just has to survive for three days right? Then isn't that mean I don't fuck around with anyone that could kill me right?

...You know what, YOLO!

"…Who are you miss? Why are you eating my dango?" I ask her.

I sense she move her head to look at me.

…She didn't say anything back, resulting both of us just looking at each other faces, or I think I'm staring at the position of her face in my case.

'…my chest starts warming up.' I think.

It's my Gaia Tattoo, it keep me away from mentally fuck by anything, and right now Koishi trying to mind fuck me or subconsciously mind fuck me I guess.

"You eyes look funny!" she said with voices that have cheerful tone in it.

'…Holy hell, I can feel the emptiness in her voices, she's definitely the holy mother of empty emotion.' I though.

"…Yes, they are indeed looked funny, that's because I'm currently affected with blindness." I reply.

"What is 'blindness'?" she asked while tilting her head.

I knew this will take a while so I repositioning my sitting position to become more comfortable.

"Well, blindness or blind is a state of someone that has lost their ability to see, for example, for a human, they see using their eyes and if they somehow lose it, they can't see anything through it." I explained.

'But your eyes are still there, how is that you're blind while still having your eyes?" she ask.

"Haha, not losing an eye doesn't mean you still have your ability to see, even though losing it is another way to lose your ability to see, but what I'm talking about is when an eye get damaged from inside the body, and if that happen, you can say that the eye lose it function as an eye." I explained.

'Now that I think about it the word 'read' in 'reading the mind' have a correlation with 'eye' because we use 'eyes to read', is that why ZUN design the Satori have another eye to read someone mind? Damn, that's clever.' I though.

"The eye that lose it function as an eye, wow, we have something in common! I make my 3rd eye went blind long time ago." she said happily.

I feel that my chest isn't warm now, which mean she stopped using her power at me.

'…If I don't know anything about Satori, I think I will feel what she say as a joke but I'm not, blinding Satori's 3rd eye is the same as killing them because that eye is the reason why they exist as a Youkai, and Koishi until now are broken because of it. I maybe can help her with the help of the System but that was her own decision, and I'm someone who respects that kind of decision, even though her reason to do it was too selfish or maybe it was just because in the past she's in the middle of getting bullied by Human/Youkai and that force her to react immediately by closing her 3rd eye on the spot, which mean she doesn't …Oh wow, now that I think about, now I feel I want to absolutely kill the jerks that bullied her.' I finished my though.

"You look angry!" she cheerfully pointed at my face.

"…Yes, I'm angry at someone." I said.

"That someone probably scared for their life right now then." she cheerfully said.

*sigh* I sigh.

I look upward toward the sky.

'…Should I warn Satori about Oku? But Reimu and co successfully stop her when it happens. What if somehow they fail?' I snort. 'Then I just have to make sure they absolutely success right?' I start smiling. 'And now, I just do what I usually do. YOLO boys' I think.

"…In missy sentence said before, you said something about your '3rd eye', are you a Satori?" I ask still looking upward.

"Yeah, I'm a Satori!" she cheerfully replied.

"Then," I turn to look at her. "Perhaps, is your sister named Komeji Satori?" I ask.

"Yes!" She cheerfully answered.

"!" I tense up, my chest started burning.

'It burned! My chest started burning! SHE'S TOTALLY TRYING TO KILL ME! HOLD IT DUDE!' I scream inwardly.

"You chest start glowing!" she cheerfully pointed at my chest.

"G-glowing i-is it?" I stutter. "I-it's good, it's g-good that it'ss burning, I mean, glowing." I reply.

"Yeah!" she still cheerfully said.

'I sense Koishi's eye cables around her start moving, gotta defuse this quickly, HOLD THE PAIN, MAN UP PUSSY!' I scream internally.

"T-then about your sister, tell her that black and pink clothes also can make her cute too, instead of wearing blue and pink clothes." I said smiling through the pain.

"Really?!" she ask disbelievingly.

I sense Koishi's eye cables not moving fast enough like it moved just now, but it's still coming near me, it's as if they are judging me.

"Yeah, Koishi-chan too, if you wear black and green clothes, you will also be cuter right now." I said.

"Are you serious?!" she asked excitedly.

I sense Koishi's eye cables stop moving.

"Of course, my blindness will be cured in a few more days, and when it's cured, I want to look both of you to see how cute you two siblings are." I smile confidently while giving her my thumbs up.

"Ehehehe, he said me and onee-chan are cute." she said bashfully.

I sense Koishi's eye cables retraced to their original position.

My chest stopped burning and stay in warm temperature.

'Okay, somehow I dodge the bullet there, now to shoo her off.' I think.

I pick up my 3 wrapped take out dango beside me and gave it to Koishi, just for the record, I plan this dango to be a brib-*cough* gifts to Reimu, since I'm sure no one want to mess with Hakurei, and order it again after I give this to Koishi.

"Here, Koishi-chan, share this with your sister, it's my dango, I don't care if you eat it or throwing it away but my point is I don't mean you and your sister any harm by giving my sweets to you and also I want to see cute girl dress up with something cute." I said while giving my sweet to Koishi.

"Sweet!" she said cheerfully.

The heat in my chest died down.

'…Finally,' I though in relieve.

"Thank you, pervert-san!" she said cheerfully.

[Achievement Alert]

[Impress the Closed Eyes of Love]

[Reward: 20.000 AP & 20.000 IP]

"…Seems like it's gonna be a thing now for anyone that first met me will call me a pervert, anyway, tell you sister to keep herself to be healthy, that goes the same for you too." I tell her.

"Okay, good bye now, pervert-san!" she energetically wave at me before proceeding to skip hopping away from me.

In a few more second, I can't sense her anymore, and thus I start to truly relax right now.

'That was some experience, now finally I know how Gaia Tattoo worked for preventing me to get attacked mentally.' I think.

*whisper-whisper*

'Hmm? I hear people start whispering around me.' I though, as I start concentrating to hear what are they talking about

"…He's talking to by himself for a while…"

"…a loony person…"

"…Youkai possessing him…"

I start getting annoyed after I hear what they were whispering.

'Now that Koishi is gone, they didn't remember she existed, and now they only remember that I'm talking to no one because of it.' I think.

Before the system tried to kill me by shoving Koishi toward me, and now it tried to kill me by shaming me in the public, this 5 star quest really is dread full.

'…I hope this doesn't spread too far into the Village or I'm screwed until I move away from Akyuu's Mansion.' I though. "…The sweet owner better be fast with making me another take-out dango or I'm gonna be piss off for the rest of the day." I said as I start standing up to buy another dango.

-Early Afternoon, Hakurei Shrine-​

Right now, I'm standing outside Reimu's House Porch, I intent to directly meet Reimu from her porch, but I witness, no, I sense something unexpected, so unexpected that I opened my eyes..

They stacked, their status stacked on top of each other.

I sense Reimu on top of Marisa, both of them looking at me, there's something round in Marisa mouth, probably a Senbei (rice cracker) or something, Reimu holding Marisa hand, and I hear they are struggling before I sense what they were doing, from anyone that only arrive now to see what in front of me, they probably think Reimu trying to rape Marisa, I knew that's probably not what just happened, but this is like one of many 'exotic' situation I want to encounter in 'my dream' list.

"…Seems like you guys busy right now, I will come back tomorrow, please continue what you guys doing as I excuse myself." I bowed to them before I spun away from here.

"W-WAIT-ZE!""S-STOP!" I hear both of them shouting at me.

I sense card-like thing flying toward me.

It hit me.

I can't move, I feel that something bind me in place.

"Don't go-ze!""It's not really what you think!" both of them starting to panic.

They talk at the same time; I can't hear them at all because they are talking over each other.

'…I can't move, I can't see, and all I hear is these girl bickering nonsense in my ear, is this supposed to be a test for my patience or something.' I think dispiritedly.

-A few minutes later-​

Both of them already calming down from their little panic. Now we are sitting on the porch, eating the dango that I gave it to them and drinking the tea.

"Yes, I believe what you guys said; you can stop bugging me about it now." I nonchalantly said,

"Lies! You sounded like someone who doesn't believe what he heard just now-ze!" Marisa rebuked.

I sense Marisa leaning toward me while Reimu preparing her Gohei.

"Then how do I make you believe that I believed your word?" I asked.

"…Um…show how you got your ability?" Marisa wondered.

*Smack*Reimu smack Marisa head.

"Ouch!" Marisa made a sound.

Reimu start looking at me.

She starts walking to my direction.

"Wait, wait, I really believe you guys explanation. There's no need for these unnecessary violence." I put up both of my hand trying to stop Reimu.

I sense she stop walking, I wait for a few more second but she's not going back and still looking toward my direction. I think she want more explanation.

"Y-you see, I already know there's a Senbei in Marisa mouth when I first sense both of you guys, so I think 'why don't I just playing with these two-" *SMACK* "Gaah!" I clutch my head.

"That's even worse!" scold Reimu.

Now that Marisa and me already got smacked, Reimu go to her sitting spot.

"Hey, Marisa, I want to show you something cool." I said.

"Hmm? What is it-ze?" she asked.

I lift my tea cup using Telekinesis and show it to Marisa by float the cup in front of her.

"Wow, are you using Telekinesis magic-ze?!" she asked.

'Telekinesis magic? Really?' I though. "Close but no cigar, but how did you know that magic in the first place?" I asked.

"I read it in Patchouli books that I borrowed, even though it's useful, it's not flashy enough for my preference so I drop it-ze." she explained.

"…I see." I acknowledge.

"If it's not Telekinesis magic, what is it-ze? The energy around that cup is different from the usual magic that I sense-ze." she give me her reasoning.

I smile. "How about you guess it for yourself?" I dare her.

"Oh, is that supposed to be a challenge-ze?" she's challenged.

"Don't play with my cup." Reimu said in annoyance.

With that warning, I put the tea cup back to its places.

-?, Palace of the Earth Spirits-

-Satori POV-​

It's been like many years since we moved from the surface to the underground, and it's been never that, we, the Underground Youkai express our wishes to go back to the surface. But suddenly, this morning, my sister, Komeji Koishi tells me her wishes to go back up.

I personally can't believe, my sister, the one that got the worst experience in the surface to be the first one who wants to go back.

'Even though no one will notice her in her current state, I still worried with where she's right now.' I though.

Currently I'm in the study room of my palace, there's a shelf full of book, a grandfather clock to tell the time in the Underground, a pair of sofa that facing each other and a coffee table in the middle of it to welcome guest, there's my study table that facing those pair of sofa, and a door at the opposite side of the room ,right now I'm using the study table to read a book.

I look at the time.

'I wonder if she has her lunch yet, she went to the surface this morning, what if she didn't go back until tomorrow.' I though worriedly.

I know she can defend herself, but as her sister, I still worried about her.

'…If something happen to her again, I…I probably can't forgive myself if that happen.' I sadly think.

I pick up my tea cup on the table.

My pets make this tea; recently they improved the taste to my liking.

I sip its content.

"*exhale* It taste really good." I said.

*BAM* the door violently opened.

"I'M HOME!" shouted the girl that barge-in to the room.

I look at that girl, it's Koishi.

"Koishi!" I said her name.

"ONEE-CHAN!" she replied.

I'm happy, happy that she comeback without any problem.

"I'm relieved that you finally come back to the palace." I smile. "Now, how was your day on the surface?" I asked.

"It's great and I got souvenir from there!" she showed me a bundle of something while smiling.

"…That's…Are you stole it from somewhere?" I asked worriedly.

"Nope, someone gave it to me." she said cheerfully.

Someone gave it to her? Because of her new abilities, she will be forgotten after people stop looking at her, are they giving her while they looking at her?

"I see, then do you know who gave it to you?" I asked.

"No, he didn't give me his name so I called him Pervert-san!" Koishi said while smiling.

"…Who is this pervert-san?" I asked.

"I don't know, he teaches me about 'blindness' because both of us are blind and he gave me his sweet to be shared for both of us." she cheerfully explained.

'He's blind? Is that why Koishi ability not working to him? ...No, her ability is at the subconsciousness level, it will affect anyone, even if he's blind or not.' I think.

"So, did this 'Pervert-san' say anything else?" I ask.

"Yes!" she nodded "He said I'm gonna look good in black and green clothes while onee-chan will look good in black and pink clothes too!" she said cheerfully.

I look at Koishi and my own clothes; we have some of the same color scheme that that guy said.

'…Something strange.' I though. "Koishi, I know you can tell that you have a sister but please just don't spread around information about what we wear, please." I plead.

"Nope!" she shakes her head. "I never told him about what we wear or if I have a sister or note." she said with a smile.

'…That's it! He knows us before hand, but why…' I though. "…What is that Youkai goal for telling us this…" I mumble in annoyance.

"Wroooong! Pervert-san is a Human!" Koishi told me with amused tone.

"What? A Human?" I bewildered. "That's even more suspicious, why would a Human ever told us that?" I asked.

"He told me he only wanted to see us wearing cute clothes, Onee-chan!" she said smiling.

'…' I stop thinking.

I grab Koishi shoulders.

"I forbid you to go to the surface again." I said with stern voice.

"Eeeeeeh?" she whine.

"That guy goal is unknown and somehow he knows us, moreover you called him 'Pervert-san'! If you called him that then he's a pervert, you will not gonna go to the surface ever again!" I ordered.

"Onee-chan cheapskate!" she pouted.

"It's to protect you!" I reasoned.

"I don't want to!" she ran away.

"K-Koishi! Wait!" I chase after her.

-?, Mayohiga-

-3rd Person POV-​

Mayohiga, it's a place that's located in the boundary of the Great Hakurei Barrier. it have many houses, so many that you can called a village, but in actuality it's a lost village, a village that no one live in. But from that countless houses, only one house is used, and the one who using it is the one who control the boundary itself.

"So somehow he knows about the Satori Sisters, the Underground Youkai." A woman with man yellow tails said while cooking.

"Yes, it's should be impossible that the outsider boy knows about the sister, he maybe know about the Underground from the Child of Miaree but knowing what color that specific Satori sister wear is outright impossible." A woman with purple clothes relaxing by sitting inside a Kotatsu.

These two individual is the one who manage the Great Hakurei Barrier right now, Yakumo Ran and Yakumo Yukari.

"And there's that one episode where he injured himself in reckless fashion for gaining more power. It's like he's trying to catching up to something, I say this Arah boy behavior is pretty abnormal even for a normal Magician behavior." Ran speculated.

Yukari turn her head to the direction of her Kitchen house, where Ran cooking right now. "Yes, it's as if he knows that he's gonna be okay and not gonna die from his action," Yukari closed her eyes, enjoying the warm that her kotatsu gave, "…Or the boy is just that suicidal to gain more power." Yukari gave her own speculation. "Honestly, I enjoy the reaction of Reimu when he teases her." Yukari smiled amusedly.

"I say, he's a Time Traveler or something similar, hence the reason why he knows that Underground Youkai, and I also afraid with the reason why he know about them too. The Underground side look pretty satisfied with where they live now." Ran explained.

"Or they plan to cause an incident in the future." add Yukari.

Ran nodded as she stirred the pot that she cooked.

"And what if he breaks himself before it happened? If he keeps repeating his repeating his suicidal way, valuable information might be lost because of it." Ran asked.

"Then that's a shame. The exciting part of a surprise is that you don't know what to expect inside it, and because of that I don't want to ruin it." Yukari still smile in amusement. "Ran, did you know, when the boy meet me for the first time, he was legitimately scared when he saw me. Fufu." Yukari laugh. "And did you remember all the time that any outsider that saw me, they immediately start unreasonable shouting at me?" Yukari asked.

"Yes, Yukari-sama, every time that happen, I remember wanted to rip every single one of their throat myself." Ran said with a hint of annoyance.

"That's right, he probably knows who and what to avoid in Gensokyo, and beside, the boy will help solving the incident with Reimu and her little friend if he's desperate enough to travel back in time to do it; even I never dare to touch that stuff." Yukari further explained.

"…I see." Ran said understandingly.

The entrance door suddenly slide open, a girl with cat ear and two cat tails come into the room.

"Ran-sama! Yukari-sama! I'm back!" said Chen cheerfully.

"Ah, Chen, welcome back, how was your day?" Ran asked curiously.

"It was great! I acquire more cats to be my minions in the future!" Chen said proudly.

"I see, I see, good girl, good girl." Ran smiles and start patting Chen head.

This peaceful scene watched by Yukari, and she's happy with it.

"Oh right, I did say I'm gonna give that boy a reward sometimes ago, I suppose this will do." Yukari pull her right arm out from the Kotatsu and wave at the air.

A gap opened in front of her afterward, revealing a human girl in her sleep wear sprawling on top of a human boy. Both of them getting up to look at each other.

"…Is that you Reimu? What are you doing in my room?" the boy questioned.

"KYAAAAAAA!" the girl raised her hand.

*Smack* she slap him.

The gap closed.

"Fufu, he must be happy about it." Yukari smiled amusedly once again.

-Me POV-​

Me and Reimu cease fire…all right, it's mostly Reimu whose cease fire because I can't hit women if I don't have any justified reason to do it. But the point is we agreed it was Yukari fault that she ended up in my room, so I accompanying Reimu flying to her house, after I finished escorting her home, I went back to my room.

'Seriously, I can't let my guard down even in the night, moreover I more worried with the alert that appear before Reimu fall in to my room.' I though.

[Impress the Eyes of Darkness]

[Reward: 20.000 AP & 20.000 IP]

[Impress the Kitsune Shikigami]

[Reward: 20.000 AP & 20.000 IP]

I believe the first one is Satori, because there's eye in the text, I kinda expecting that since Koishi probably telling her story about when we met, I kinda doubt that Satori impression about me is a bad one since Koishi called me 'pervert-san', but the main problem is the achievement for Ran.

Yukari tossing me Reimu and I got an achievement for impressing Ran is not a coincident, Yukari probably heard my conversation with Koishi and then they discuss about it and then they draw conclusion that I knew about the future or some shit, which is not far away from the truth.

I kinda fucking around with Koishi, hoping I would get something out of it. But now Yukari actually listened with what I said that time. Guess I can view this stuff in positive light since I'm not pulled into her gap and then tortured to get my information about the future and instead she just tosses Reimu at me.

*sigh* I sigh. "Guess I'm lucky, really really lucky with the roll." I said.

I go back to my futon while thinking I got two more of this kind of days to worried about.

Author note:

The is suppose to be the last chapter for 'Arah Blindness' Arc and I originally plant to make this 9k word long of a chapter but I'm gonna split it into 2-3 chapter because I don't really have much time to make it and because I'm gonna be busy, this chapter can be made after I squeezed any spare time that I have, so, I'm really sorry about that.

And please expect the next update to be in one more month and more, once again, I'm really sorry about this.

Just a random though, I'm curious if there's a scenario about one of the fanfic in this site get retranslated to another language and to be read by a reader that can't understand English, it's a just passing though after I think about what Translation group do in our perspective.
