Altered East 02: Tragedy Breaker

​

Editor: Crembo.

-Afternoon, Hakugyokurou Inn-

-My POV-​

"Let's all settle down first and continue this after we have lunch." Yuyuko's soft voice resounded clearly in the tense kitchen atmosphere.

"Yuyuko!!" Yukari berated her.

"Why not? It's been several hours, but he hasn't done anything malicious to me and he even offered to cook."

"… Are you sure it's not because of the free food?" Yukari guessed.

"Of course not."

'It's definitely because of the free food.' I thought… and probably everyone else too. By the way, I'd already paused my cooking when Yukari entered the building.

"Aaah-, you just had a rude thought about me, haven't you?" Yuyuko accused me.

"Would you like some pudding for dessert? I can make some for all of us." I dodged her question with a promise of pudding.

"Ara-, sounds delicious. I would love to taste it."

"Y-yuyuko-sama, what if he cooks something dangerous?!" Youmu sounded a concern.

I could see Youmu's expression, troubled as she was by Yuyuko's actions. Should I ease her mind a bit?

"Don't worry; cooking is a sacred thing to us chefs. I have my pride as a chef for cooking good food, and I swore to that pride that I would never put any poison or inedible things in my food." I assured her.

"See." Yuyuko smiled while presenting me with her hand, as if to show that her words were right.

Even though Yuyuko had already said her piece, Youmu still looked conflicted.

As for Yukari, she seemed to be considering something while the other two were and I were talking. A few seconds later, she seemed to have finally come to a decision.

"… Okay then, if Yuyuko says so." Yukari gave in.

Yukari lowered her hostility and Ran followed suit, though Youmu remained an exception.

"Youmu-chan." said Yuyuko in a sterner voice.

"… Yes, Yuyuko-sama." Youmu also gave in and finally sheathed her katana.

Finally, the situation was diffused peacefully by Yuyuko.

"Now that that's settled, do you people mind if I continue preparing lunch?" I asked.

"!! C-chef-san! Can I help you cook?! I could help your food match everyone's tastes since I'm the one who usually cooks for them!" Youmu volunteered herself.

I looked at her.

'Checking if I put something strange in their food are we? Well, let's just let her in, it's not like I'm doing something like that and an extra hand in cooking isn't that bad either.'

Seems like Yuyuko also didn't disapprove of Youmu's action because she and the rest left the room after Youmu said her request.

"Okay, please take care of me." I nodded in approval.

"Y-yes! Please take care of me too!" she lightly bowed before moving on to grab the green cooking apron that was hanging on the wall.

"Well, guess that means we need to make more food for everyone."

I started taking out more ingredients from my Dimension Pocket.

"…Eh?" She saw what I was doing. " ….W-w-wha-ingredients started appearing out of nowhere!! W-what's going on?!" Youmu panicked

I smiled. For the record, I did want to introduce myself after we ate, so letting Youmu see these is not really a big deal.

"Magic, that's what's going on." I calmly said.

After several minutes of power-aided cooking (yeah, I use my abilities to cook large amount of foods, problem?), I finished everyone's share of lunch; from deep-fried tofu for Ran to the normal meals for the humans, including Yuyuko's portion - though I only made 3 people's worth of food for her, just to be safe for her human counterpart's stomach.

I carried all the food with my Telekinesis to the dining table, Youmu also helping to carrying some.

"Sorry for the wait." I said while carrying the food with both my hands and Telekinesis.

I could see their looks of wonder at seeing many flying plates of food.

I placed each of their shares on the dining table.

The dining table was a round, short-legged table. It was like a coffee table, but for eating while seated on the floor; though, of course, they were not sitting directly on the floor but on some kind of sitting-pillow-thingy instead.

I sat at the empty spot at the side of the table, guessing this was where I was supposed to sit, and then looked at where everyone else was seated.

Yukari sat opposite of me, while Yuyuko…

… Yuyuko sat between me and Yukari. It was as if she was the fence or the bridge between me and her.

I prepared the food just like Youmu told me to.

Ran started drooling while looking back and forth between Yukari and her food.

Yukari looked subtly skeptical with the food, but on the other hand...

Yuyuko didn't change her expression when seeing her share. Does that mean that's the normal amount of food for her here too?

"Itadakimasu!" Yuyuko moved her chopsticks.

Yuyuko fearlessly ate her food.

'Does Yukari have full trust in Yuyuko's decision, hence why she isn't stopping her?'

"Delicious!" Yuyuko praised.

"Thank you for the praise." I said as I picked up my spoon to eat.

And with that as a cue, everyone started to eat their food too.

As I ate, I started thinking about Yuyuko's actions.

'I wonder why she has this much trust in me, we've only known each other for like less than 3 hours. Usually when someone is suddenly being too familiar with someone, they would get creeped out. In my case, I purposely revealed her information because she bait-and-hit me with half nudity and a pan. I would expect her to be more cautious right now.'

A thought suddenly hit me.

'…Wait, what if… what if she somehow one-upped me by any chance right now? One-upped by someone with a much lower level than mine? …one upped by that Yuyuko, I think that's like a privilege for a Touhou fan, holy shit, I've actually been one-upped by Yuyuko, fuck being pissed, I'm happy now.'

I was trying my very best to stop my facial muscles from forming a full blown smile from that thought. I bet all of them would think I was a creep if I suddenly smiled in the middle of lunch. …Weird, somehow I feel that they already think me as one.

…

…

… Shit, I forgot about what I did to Sakuya. They absolutely think of me as a creep, and that's probably why Yuyuko baited me with her body just now. This is karma, I reap what I sowed. It can't be-?!

I sensed something at a corner, down near the floor.

I looked at it, moving only my eyes.

A ghostly ball came emerged from the corner.

[Lv.17 Evil Phantom]

It was heading toward Yuyuko.

'…Interesting. Astral Barrier.'

I created an astral barrier that enveloped our table. The phantom bounced off the barrier, then tried to pass the barrier several times before going off into another part of the house.

I also saw Ran flinch when I erected the barrier.

'Seems like Ran could sense that I've done something, and probably Yukari too, despite how she didn't show any expression right now. No matter, at least this should prevent any ghostly being disturbing us while we eat.'

Now that that little disturbance was already taken care of, I continued eating my food until everyone finished their lunch. I also distributed the pudding. Note to self: Youmu loves pudding.

"Thank you for the food." All of us said as we finished up our lunch.

Now they were all drinking their tea while Youmu and I started putting the plates away.

"Chef-san, how did you do that?" Youmu asked.

"Do what? Moving the plates? It's nothing big. I'm just using my Telekinesis." I answered nonchalantly.

She froze.

"…Youmu-san?" I looked at her while also moving all the plates to the sink using my Telekinesis.

"…Chef-san, are you perhaps… a Magician?" said Youmu.

I blinked "… I… Yes. Actually, I'm gonna explain to all of you fully after we clean all the plates."

"I see, sorry for asking, it's just that one of my friends really likes magic, so she often says that she wants to be a magician. I had thought that kind of thing was useless, but now, seeing chef-san cook, being a magician actually seems pretty handy." she said bashfully.

"No problem, you're just curious after all, there's nothing bad about being curious." I said. 'A magic enthusiast …It was Marisa. …Hope she doesn't have any issues with her family on this side.' I thought.

Once again, I used my abilities to clean the plates quickly. Youmu again looked amazed at what she was seeing.

After a few minutes of working…

"Finally, it's time for the explanation, right?" said Yukari.

Now we were in the guest room, everyone but me sitting on their knees while I was the only one sitting cross-legged. I also took off my jacket and put it beside me, revealing the black t-shirt I wore underneath.

Like in the dining room, our sitting positions had me in the center of one side of the room while Yukari and Yuyuko sat at the opposite side, the followers sitting at the side of their respective masters.

"Right. Sorry for taking so long to explain, the timing was kinda off because I was cooking." I said apologetically.

"Don't worry about it, in the end we got to eat delicious food, so it's not really a bad thing." said Yuyuko happily.

"…Seriously." Yukari kinda gave up after seeing Yuyuko's expression.

Their relationship is really good as always.

"Then, let's start by introducing ourselves." everyone immediately focused their attention on me after I said that. "Hello, my name is Arah, I'm a Magician, nice to meet you."

I could see varying expressions.

Caution.

Ran eyeing me with caution.

Analyzing.

Yukari calmly evaluated me.

Interest.

Youmu was expecting something from me.

Analyzing but… 100 times faster?

"Ara-…" said Yuyuko while covering her smile with her sleeve. I could feel her gaze. She was seriously picking me apart piece by piece. It's like I became naked even though I'm fully clothed right now. She's probably already seen through my motives. People who don't know her probably only think she's a beauty with an air-head personality.

I know I'm being annoying with my constant paranoid speculations about her actions even though I never got solid proof of her being a genius on this side yet, but it never hurts to be cautious, and also, you know… This side also counts as Touhou, and she's a Touhou character. You never underestimate a Touhou character no matter how weak they are.

"All of you are probably wondering why a magician suddenly showed up here. Well, the answer to that is because of an experiment. "

"Experiment?" asked Youmu.

"Yes, as a magician I often indulge myself in researching and experimenting on my own magic theories. Think of me as a scientist that specializes in magic. "

"… Scientist and magic, it feels weird to hear those words together in one sentence." said Yukari.

"Haha, yeah, at first I also felt the same thing, when I heard it from one of my magician friends in my world. But, if you think about it, it does make sense."

I could hear the gears in everyone's heads stopping.

"… 'My world'?" asked Yukari suspiciously.

Lie Engine, Start!!

I nodded. "A while ago, I started experimenting with my research, on the subject of time and space- ahh… Based on your looks you people probably know what happened next."

"You failed?" asked Yukari.

I shook my head. "No, it was the other way around, it was a success, or too successful I might say," I continued, "Initially the experiment only involved moving myself far away from my starting point to another point and then coming back to the starting point. In other words, long range teleportation."

"As I started the experiment, I felt that I had indeed moved from my original position. I arrived inside a building and then I saw signs written in Japanese. Ergo, I assumed I was in Japan, and it was a success. But then, this is the part when I realized the experiment was too successful. "

"I saw Yukari-san, I saw her and then I realized that I actually moved between worlds. I moved from my Gensokyo to your Gensokyo." I explained.

"Eh? Yukari-sama? Why? Eh? What do you mean? 'My Gensokyo'? 'Your Gensokyo'? Eh??" Youmu was lost.

I could see that everyone was already putting everything together. Except Youmu.

"An Alternate World." said Yukari.

I nodded.

"No offense, but the first time I saw Yukari-san, I realized how weak she is compared to Yukari on my side, so-""RAN!!"

Ran lunged.

I stopped her using Telekinesis.

Yukari threw something at me.

I stopped it in mid air.

After Youmu realized what just happened, she tried to get up but I stopped her too.

Ran, her fox ears and tail revealed, was floating in mid air. Yukari's ofuda stayed in the air too, as if frozen in time, while Yukari readied another ofuda in her hand and Youmu was struggling to move from her spot.

'She only has one tail, seems fitting considering how low her level is.' I thought.

I stopped them all without even blinking, except Yuyuko because she didn't do anything except observe me.

"I actually respect all of you in my world, so please perish the thought that I'll harm any of you on this side too."

I slowly put Ran back in her previous spot, let Youmu move again, and moved the ofuda Yukari had just thrown back in front of her.

Yukari slowly reached out for her ofuda and she finally took it.

She repeatedly looked back between her ofuda and me with a difficult expression.

"…Continue." she said as she held her ofuda.

"Thank you. As I was saying, I realized that Yukari-san was different compared to her counterpart on my side, so I immediately assumed that this is a different world, which seems to be right. Since that fact has already been established, all I need now is just to repeat what I did in my experiment. Given time and resources, I can definitely recreate it and go back to my world. …At least, that was my original plan, thing have changed."

… Holy shit, I could totally feel the air suddenly getting more tense.

"For context, at random times, I occasionally see glimpses of the future. That future can be bad or good, and I can change it if I know what to do for it to happen. Now that you know what I'm saying, I can safely say that a few hours ago, I saw it, the future. "

Dramatic Pause!!

"…So what did you see?" asked Youmu worriedly.

"…I saw a tragedy." I replied. "Or maybe a bad omen, it was just a glimpse after all." I said while doing my thinking pose.

From here on, it's a gamble. A gamble that I'm making based on her title and her situation. If I guess right, then this will be the starting point to finish my quest and gain more favorable point from everyone in this room, but if I guess wrong, then I can just kiss good bye to interacting with all the Touhou character on this side.

"I saw a person hanging from a rope. I didn't see the face, but the body looked limp and lifeless so I assume that someone is already dead. I also saw many phantoms dancing around the body."

"P-p-p-p-phantoms?!" Youmu stuttered.

…Oh yeah, I forgot that she's scared of ghosts.

"A phantom is a person's residue that leaves the body after they are dead." I explained,

"Dead?! G-g-ghost?!" Youmu was panicking.

…I want to tease her sooooo baaaaad right now, but I must restrain myself, the atmosphere is still serious after all.

"They usually appear in a place that is connected to the dead, for example graveyards or any long-abandoned building. They also cause negative effects on humans if they have a weak mind. Hence why I immediately went to a place that I think has a connection with the dead."

…Revelation!

"Because of the obvious land mark, I easily located the place."

Because the guest room has a window to look at the scenery, I turned my head to look at it. I turned to look at the scenery, the very big Sakuya tree, the Saigyou Ayakashi, or at least its counterpart because I don't know if this tree has a name.

Revelation!!

I turned back to look at the people inside.

Youmu and Ran both looked shocked that this is the place I'm talking about, but as for their masters…

Yukari was probably feeling my story was sketchy or is maybe in denial.

Yuyuko, she…she gave in? I don't know, I can't read her at all.

"… Why do you think that this place has any connection to the dead?" asked Yukari with a glare.

She wanted proof.

"This will be much quicker if I show you what she looks like in person."

I looked at Yuyuko.

"I usually only do this after getting permission from the person in question, but I think it's okay since Yuyuko-san is in here. So Yuyuko-san, do I have the permission to show them an image of your counterpart?"

She thought a little before giving a nod.

"Thank you."

I brought out a Projection Cube from my Dimension Storage. I started setting the device up.

[Projection Area: Hakugyokurou, Ready]

Good, now, for the uncomfortable part….

I changed the way I sat from cross-legged to sitting on my knees, and corrected my posture.

..Somebody will get mad and I'm gonna get hurt if I recklessly do this stuff. Even though I'm an entire world apart from her, I'm sure she probably has a way to smack me if I do this wrong.

"..Fufu-." Yuyuko giggled.

Everyone gave her questionings looks, and then, as always, Yukari was quick to understand what she meant.

'…Genius girls being geniuses, those two probably know why I corrected the way I sat.'

I touched the choker on my neck.

'Change to Saigyouji Yuyuko. '

[Affirmative]

I enveloped my body and the room in darkness but I made it so that the four people in front of me could see each other in the darkness.

After I felt that I finished transforming, I activated the Projection Cube.

The darkness changed into a room, a room that was similar to the guest room from before but also different at the same time.

The moonlight got in from the window. From that window, one could see the image of Saigyou Ayakashi in full bloom.

And finally, everyone was looking at me with wide eyes. If I saw a man suddenly replaced with a beauty, of course I'd be surprised.

I smiled.

"Hello." I lightly waved at them. "My name is Saigyouji Yuyuko. I'm the Head of Hakugyokurou and the Manager of Dead Souls in the Netherworld. It's nice to meet all of you."

Heyo. I became Yuyuko, complete with floating white orbs around me. The choker actually recognized those floating things to be a part of Yuyuko. Thank god.

"Manager of Deal Souls? Netherworld?"

"That's right~, that means I'm a ghost! Did you feel scared while looking at me?" I asked with a smile.

"…" I think Youmu lost her words.

"Did you know about her past?"

My smile slowly faded away.

The one who said that, surprisingly, was not Yukari, but Yuyuko.

"Please tell me all about her." she said with a resolute face.

"…Okay." I lightly nodded.

Then I told her about my side's Yuyuko's background story, her abilities, her tragedies, about Saigyou Ayakashi, about her relationship with the Yukari on the other side, and about my Gensokyo and the incident she started.

"*sigh* I think this is the longest conversation I've held in a long while."

"Here's some water, um, Arah-san." Youmu offered me a glass of water.

"Thank you Youmu-chan, you're so kind." I received it thankfully.

"…It's weird knowing that you are not Yuyuko-sama but you look and sound exactly like her."

"It can't be helped. I need to act properly as them by role-playing as the people I changed into."

"But right now you're not acting like her though." Ran butted in.

"Youmu~, I'm hungry~."

"Un, perfect impersonation of Yuyuko-sama." Youmu approved.

I didn't know why but somehow these two started warming up to me, which I was okay with. Getting friendly with a cute girl is okay all the time in my book.

"If you're done talking, how about changing back to how you look." ordered Yukari.

"Yes, ma'am."

I changed back to myself.

I deactivated and put away my Projection Cube.

"Okay, I've already explained everything, now it's up to you if you want to believe me or not. But, I don't care either way, because I will prevent that tragedy from happening. " I told them.

Yuyuko and Yukari started exchanging looks for a while before looking back at me.

I bet they exchanged a billion words with only looking at each other eyes, if it's them then maybe it's plausible.

"How did you know so much detail about… that Yuyuko?" asked Yukari.

…Ho boy, but thankfully I already answered that same type of question in the past.

"I have my own sources. If you want to stay alive in Gensokyo, you need to watch out for every powerhouse there."

"Then why do you want to help our Yuyuko?"

"It's because I can't ignore those who are in trouble."

"The real reason?"

"It's a shame that such a beautiful person would leave this world so soon."

…

…Fuck, I accidently answered her question out of reflex from the usual 'conversation' with my side's Yukari. Their voice is similar, dude! Everything except her power is similar to the other Yukari!

I slightly averted my eyes from them.

"Ara-"

I completely turned my head to the side, an attempt to hide my bashfulness.

"Ara-, Ara-."

MAN UP, DUDE!!

"T-there's nothing wrong with what I said. Yuyuko-san is undoubtedly a beautiful person, and I'm a man that appreciate something beautiful, so-w-wait, wait, why are all of you smiling?!"

Yukari made her ofuda into a makeshift fan, then she used it to cover her mouth, her eyes told me she was amused.

Yuyuko also covered her mouth with her Yukata's sleeve, she was definitely laughing.

Youmu didn't look at me. I could totally see her ears turning red.

Ran looked amazed.

My heart was not prepared for this shame! Being purposely shameless and being accidentally shameless are different things, and this is the latter!

Back on topic! Back on topic!

"W-Well?! Do you want my help or not?!"

Again, the two women exchanged a look but their expression was gentler this time.

"See." Yuyuko said with a smile.

Yukari nodded with an approving look.

'I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON ANYMOOOOOREEEE!!!!!!!'

-A few moments later-​

After I calmed down, Yukari finally told me about Yuyuko's story.

It all started when an earthquake happened on this island 5 years ago. Many buildings got damaged and many people got hurt, but miraculously nobody died. The city did recover with time but strange stuff started happening ever since then.

Unknown creatures.

Strange events.

Because Yukari is the Mayor of the city, she could direct her people to quarantine strange events and prevent them from spreading to the normal civilian populace.

Besides being strange, those events could also have positive effect on people. For example, the harvest somehow suddenly became more bountiful, or her pet fox suddenly turned into human. (Ran looked proud when Yukari mentioned this part)

But not everyone was on the same side of the spectrum, there were people that got negative effects, especially the Saigyouji household.

They ran an inn for their income… I guess you know where this is going.

The family, the workers and their guests suddenly started getting frequently sick. With the amount of people getting sick increasing, bad rumors started flying around. People said the inn was cursed, it brought bad luck, etcetera. Essentially, they didn't have any more guests coming in because their reputation kept plummeting down from it. Even the doctor couldn't cure the sick people.

This kept going until Yukari brought Ran here. Ran told her that spirits were the cause of everything that was happening here, and also said that there must be some kind of source to all these spirit since they kept appearing in the mansion. Unfortunately, she couldn't pin it down. (Ran looked down)

Now that they knew what to do, Yukari sent the Shrine People to this place. (Presumably the Hakurei)

It worked, everything went back to normal, their reputation slowly returned and since it was working, Yukari kept sending the Shrine People every time someone got sick in the Inn. Unfortunately, that didn't last long. After a year passed, those who got sick found their sickness didn't go away even though the exorcism had already been done.

The Inn once again lost its reputation, its workers and its guests, but this time, they also stared losing something more important: the owner family's members.

The father went insane and jumped off a cliff.

The mother followed suit and cut her own wrists.

But the daughter was still alive and being protected by her friends.

So please.

Bowing.

…

…

…

Yukari was bowing to me.

"So please, please save Yuyuko."

I was shocked.

Too shocked to even register what she was doing until I realized that Youmu and Ran were also bowing to me. Yuyuko only looked bitter seeing this. She probably predicted there was a possibility this would happen, and then it actually happened.

"All these years I have protected her with all my power, but recently my protection was becoming more and more useless. If this keeps going I will lose her, so I beg you, ple-"Stop"."

…I never liked a begging attitude.

"…Please raise your head, there's no need for you to bow. Even if you didn't do that, I would definitely save her, so please never do that again."

…It's sickening.

"I don't deserve to be bowed to by anyone."

They all raised their heads and… damn it all…

"The sooner we resolve this issue, the better for all of us, right?"

I stood up.

"Then I will immediately go all out from the beginning"

I took out several items from my dimension storage.

Mental Booster Pill.

I ate it.

Perception Amplifier Ring.

I wore it.

Tang Sanzang Guiding Staff.

Grant a glimpse of vision to my senses.

My 'Ultimate Brain' skill will process what I see.

All I need to do is just endure the mental burden until I see what I wanted to see.

'…What is this…this is Gensokyo all right. It's kinda funny that Gensokyo is still Gensokyo even if it's in another dimension.' I thought.

And I found it.

"As expected, it's there."

I teleported to the location.

"No wonder Ran couldn't find it."

The source was dormant but could still spew out phantoms, given time.

And the location.

Saigyou Ayakashi.

It's under the tree, literally right under this huge tree. Even if you found it, you couldn't do anything about it. Even if you dug to it, there was a possibility that the tree will fall toward you or maybe crush you under it.

This bitch-ass spirit actually had a good hiding spot, but not for long, because I will bust it out of there.

I activated the Fragment of Gaia.

Normally, I could only feel the plants in my surrounding, and since I was still wearing the ring, I could feel all the plant life on the island, but I tried to focus only on the tree instead.

I gave the tree my magic power.

"Open." I ordered.

*crack**crack* the tree's bark moved and shifted, creating a hole. The hole got bigger and bigger until it was large enough for me to enter, revealing the ground under it. It was as if it knew what I was doing here and it lead me straight to my objective.

I dug into the ground using my abilities.

I could sense my actions causing the spirit to stop being dormant.

I prepared several spells to hit this thing.

Found it.

It was a human skull.

It was awake.

An ethereal skeleton appeared above the skull.

[Lv.47 Grudge Spirit]

"Finally, I have been found out. Don't expect to come out alive after encountering me, as I am- "

I drowned out its voice because it started monologuing.

'…Wait, this counts as an evil spirit right? Won't that item work?'

I took out a box from my dimension storage and threw its contents at the spirit.

"GYAAAAAAAAAA!!"

I threw it again.

"STOP IIITTT!! GYAAAAAAA!!"

"…I can't believe I actually have a chance to use this item after all this time."

[Purification Salt: EXTREME!!]

[50x holy damage, 50x purification, and 50x saltiness. Only works on evil spirits]

"GWAAAAAA!!" it was melting.

It tried to get away from me, but I held it in place with my abilities.

I started using the spell I prepared beforehand.

"Spirit Drain."

'The drain magic, it's one of the most useful magics to incapacitate someone. Just drain them until they're dry or half dead, and since I'm draining the spirit from a spirit, I'm draining its power…or maybe its life force? I don't know, I just know it's becoming weaker the more I do it.'

[Lv.5 Grudge Spirit]

'Then let's just use this chance to find out what happens if I keep draining.'

I kept draining it until it disappeared.

The skull on the ground crumbled into dust. I didn't sense anything in here beside the tree.

'Guess he's dead. I feel no remorse. If anyone makes Yukari bow, they can expect to see hell after I'm done with them.'

Suddenly I saw a vision in my mind.

A woman hanging from a rope around her neck.

The woman disappeared in the darkness alone.

The vision disappeared.

*ding*

[Tragedy Canceled: 2/??]

'…Yuyuko and Yukari…thank goodness.' I smiled.

I could see everyone on the outside of the building.

I waved to them and then gave a thumbs up for everything was already over.

Author note:

OHMYGOD! Never again, never say I will type a 10k word chapter. I can't do it. I'm dying when I wrote this 5k word chapter, fucking hell!

Next chapter will be the main story, expect a lot of time skip since I already introduced Yuyuko to you guys, so I want to speed up Perfect Cherry Blossom to happen.
