Chapter 11
Kusa can be seen under the water looking at the sky
Kusa: I didn't drown...
Kusa: I can speak clearly under the water easily
Kusa: being a plant sure is neat
Kusa: *sigh* I can do this...
Kusa goes out in the water and stands in the dirt...
She started to hold her head and tries not to pass out
Kusa: the information starts flooding... it hurts...
Kusa: I feel... like... I'm going insane...
Kusa started to kneel and buries her head in the soil
Kusa: stupid...
▪︎ an over 1k-year-old yokai tree has many memories, the Saigyou Ayakashi is older than Yuyuko and the tree can absorb the victim's memories but because Kusa accidentally absorb some of the tree soul and she got some memory fragments from that▪︎
The sun can be seen disappearing and darkness started to creep in...
Meanwhile, In the forest, a magician riding a broom and holding a lamp can be seen flying low
Marisa: Kusa!
Marisa: where are you!
She flawlessly traverse the forest nonstop until her lamp glows blue she stopped
Marisa: Kusa!
Marisa: where is that girl...
She started finding near the proximity until she saw a tiny girl near the pond smeared with mud holding her head
Marisa: Kusa!!!
Marisa carefully turn over Kusa, and it seems Kusa having a bad nightmare and is unconscious
Marisa made Kusa sleep on her lap without minding the mud and started fastly flying towards her house leaving star-shaped bullets
She arrived at her house originally filled with things but Kusa renovated her home easily making a 2 story big house
She started to go to the bathroom and filled it water, she undressed Kusa and started cleaning her carefully, she grabbed a mini towel and wrapped Kusa with it
She enters her bedroom and put Kusa on her bed
She is finding Kusa's extra dress on her cabinet and started to dress her
▪︎Kusa and Marisa lives together▪︎
She covers kusa with a blanket...
Marisa: ...
Kusa is tossing and turning Marisa tries to check her temperature and having anguish expression
Marisa: everything seems normal... yet why?
With nothing to lead to her unknown sickness, Marisa is forced to watch her suffer... she started to make a pain killer drug and feed kusa with it
It seems it has taken effect that Kusa stops suffering and started to sleep peacefully...
Marisa: I'm glad...
Marisa started to clean up herself and wear a nightwear
She kissed Kusa's forehead and sleep beside her
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Sun started peeking in the window prompting the Magician to wake up
Marisa looks at Kusa who is sleeping peacefully
Marisa nudges Kusa gently
Kusa: Hmm? Marisa?
Marisa: Good morning Kusa...
Marisa: What happened to you last night?
Kusa: I don't remember...
Marisa: Don't lie to me, I know you are lying when you drag your speech too much
Kusa: *sigh* you know I'm a plant right?
Marisa: of course
Kusa: I accidentally absorb some of the Ayakashi's soul when I crushed it, I didn't think that tree can absorb memories
Kusa: That's why my head is severely hurting
Marisa: why didn't you tell me?
Kusa: I don't want to be a burden towards you...
Marisa hugs kusa
Marisa: you won't become a burden to me at all
Kusa: mmhm...
Marisa: Let's take a bath and Cook some food shall we?
Kusa: yeah
--------------------------------------------------------------
In the dining room on the second floor
Kusa: did you guys finish talking with Yukari?
Marisa: Nope she isn't there yesterday so Ran said that she might be there in the morning
Marisa: But after what happened to you... I don't want to take chances so I'm staying with you for the whole day
Kusa: what about Reimu?
Marisa: despite we are considered rivals I could admit she is super strong
Kusa: I don't think she considers you as one though...
Marisa: she would now because I almost beat her in a best of 10 matches
Kusa: then let me hear it if you beat her
Marisa: Nope, you will see how I beat her
Kusa: someone is confident today
Marisa: If I'm not I can't reach what am I now
Kusa: true...
They eat peacefully
--------------------------------------------------------------
After they talked to Reimu
Kusa and Marisa is under the shade near the grasslands peacefully eating something and admiring the flowers that bloom after the spring essence has been restored
Marisa: I didn't think the flowers are full bloom now we only restored the spring yesterday
Kusa: Gensokyo is a very weird place so I'm not surprised seeing the plants are blooming after it just restored
Kusa: after all, I'm a sentient grass and that is very weird
Marisa smiles
Marisa: despite that, I'm thankful... because of that exact weirdness, I'm with a sentient grass that takes a special place in my heart
Kusa: heh~ despite having no heart and organs I could say that you are inside of my imaginary heart that is imprinted deep in my soul
Marisa: Is that a yes I'm hearing?
Kusa: mhm!
Marisa smiles and hugs Kusa
Marisa: it seems I'm probably the happiest person in Gensokyo right now
Kusa is staring at Marisa amused by the user
Kusa: I'm glad I made you the happiest person In Gensokyo...
The two sits close to each other and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere in the area
--------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, In Reimu's end, she is fighting Yukari at her best dodging the train Yukari shoots, while dodging Ran and Chen attacks at the same time
Reimu: this is annoying!!
Yukari: this is just training
Reimu: training? It's more like stop moving or else you will experience pain!
Yukari: like human quotes said no pain no gain
Reimu: I only want gain and no pain
Yukari: that mindset will only make you weaker, stop complaining or you will suffer!!
Reimu: No!
