Chapter 59

What am I doing? I don't know, to be honest

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kusa, Reimu, Marisa, and Mokou are in the shrine

Kusa is just leaning against Mokou while Reimu is thinking deeply and Marisa is trying to solve a crossword puzzle

Marisa: Reimu... I guess we should talk about it

Reimu: ohh? Do you mean that?!

Marisa: yeah...

Reimu looked at Mokou

Mokou: I guess we could

Kusa: What is this? Are you some sort of a secret meeting?

Marisa: it's about you Kusa

Kusa: What? Did I do something wrong...?

Marisa is hesitating to say it but she held resolution and looked Kusa in the eye

Marisa: you are helping humans too much

Kusa: Yes...?

Reimu: you know the quote you tell me? Give someone a fish and they can fill their stomach in one day but if you teach them how to fish they can feed their selves in a whole lifetime

Kusa nods

Mokou holds Kusa's hands

Mokou: I know that it's hard for you but you need to stop helping them

Kusa is shocked and looked at them

Marisa: if you keep doing this humans will rely on you like a caged pet they rely on you for food and when you are gone they will be helpless

Kusa: but-

Reimu: you are not going to exist forever you are already aware of that... everything has a limitation Kusa

Mokou: you have to carry everything by yourself Kusa... trying to help humanity

Mokou: when in fact you have no responsibility to do so

Marisa: of course because of that responsibility you are staring and thinking a lot more and the carefree you are slowly disappearing and the bright smile is getting rarer

Reimu: and we don't want that... the very person who we fall in love with the cheerful person who always being cheerful and the person who makes our lives full of colors

Mokou: we want you back Kusa

Kusa is shocked and realized it is almost too late and she started tearing up

Mokou, Reimu, and Marisa hugs her and she started crying

--------------------------------------------------------------

In the dream realm

Kusa and Doremy are sitting beside each other on the vast grassy plains

Kusa: always think that the greater the power the greater the responsibility is...

Kusa: but in reality, if you have no responsibility, to begin with, why would you make one...

Kusa: I'm foolish and acted selfishly I just helped then and didn't realize what will happen in the future

Kusa: helping is a one-time thing because it doesn't help if you do it often

Kusa: its called being a reliance

Kusa: not making humanity do anything more but eat my fruits will surely rely on me and be miserable when I'm gone

Kusa: and I'm very sorry Doremy for brushing this kind of topic whenever you bring it up

Doremy: don't worry about it I'm glad that you have been awakened by the truth because if it's too late I will make sure to wake you up forcefully

Kusa: thanks...

Doremy: welcome back Kusa

Kusa: yeah... it's good to be back

Kusa reaches her hand and Doremy shakes it

--------------------------------------------------------------

Currently, Kusa is sleeping while leaning on Mokou while Reimu and Marisa are doing chores and cooking food

Sukuna: ohh? Kusa is getting sleep in the morning? that's rare

Mima: Hello guys... eh? Kusa sleeps?

Marisa: yeah... that's why don't talk too much in a loud voice

Marisa: help me Mima-sensei

Mima: okay

Sukuna: I need to help too...

--------------------------------------------------------------

Kusa is stirring up to be awake and what greeted her is the warm light from the evening sun

Kusa is being hugged by Reimu, Marisa, and Mokou but instead of being surprised she just indulges the warmth she felt

--------------------------------------------------------------

Kusa is playing with the fairies in the Misty lake with the Reimu, Mokou, Marisa with some fairies, and Hime as a judge

Kusa slides and prevents the ball from sinking into the water and bounces it to the side of a kelp net

Cirno slides into the water with her ice and jumps to spike the ball towards near Daiyousei

Daiyousei blocks it making the ball fly upwards

Marisa jumps and hits the ball hard next to Luna

But Mokou appeared and returns the ball with much more power

Kusa attacks the ball making it change direction and hit the area next to a green fairy making a huge splash making the opposite team get wet

Hime: team KMMS 1 - RMCL 0

[Kusa, Marisa, Milky, Sapphire, Red fairy, Blue Fairy

Reimu, Mokou, Cirno, Luna, Green fairy, yellow Fairy]

Reimu serve this time and she performed a spike toward Milky

Milky tries to block it but it bounced off in another direction and Sapphire saved it and pass it towards Marisa who is near the net

Marisa tried to do a spike but what greet her is Mokou's defense so she decided to do a normal hit making the ball curve towards the opposite court

Cirno catches up to it and returns it back

Sapphire bounced it back

Luna bounced it towards Mokou who quickly hit it towards the Milky who caught off guard

Hime: KMMS 1 - RMCL 1

Marisa is the one that serve this time and she made sure to add some flavors to it making the ball fly like a meteor

Reimu blocked it and the ball flew high up

Mokou used her fire to make her jump higher and punch the ball making it covered in flames heading towards Kusa

Kusa: eh?!!

Kusa blocks it with her natural immunity to fire and returns it toward the farthermost point of the ring

Cirno slides quickly and used her ice power making the ball bounce outside of the bounds

Hime: KMMS 2 - RMCL 1

Cirno: why?!!

Hime: you shouldn't make the ball go outside of the court or else the enemy will get the point

Mokou: I guess we should be serious

Reimu: Yeah... Kusa and Marisa are doing very good despite being at a disadvantage

Mokou releases her fiery aura, Cirno releases her chilly aura and Reimu Released her divine aura

Marisa and Kusa looked at each other and released their aura Kusa's yellow-green and Marisa whose aura is yellow is shining in the court

Hime: what is this?! A fight?

The main participants don't care anymore they will do anything to prevent the others to settle a score

In the end, they caused a giant splash making the entire fish community have a trauma including Hime

KMMS 5 - RMCL 2

They have to stop because the night has already have come
