-To say that Reimu jumped was an understatement. He practically leaped back, falling right on his ass. Which, really, was just stupid and embarrassing because, duh, of COURSE she wasn't normal. She was at the school. Hell, they had students who could do shit like that. But still, if it was shock she was aiming for, it worked.-

[ At first, her own surprise is apparent. If someone fell on their rear so suddenly, wouldn't that be the natural response?

But there is just something about that face of his...

No. Her luck couldn't be this good. ]

[ Just like that, the expression is gone, replaced with an amused one as she crouches down and peers at the boy. ] See what I mean?

[musou_tensei]

Don't talk like this wasn't your fault, sneaking around like that.

[impersonal_space]

[ Feisty. Her look shows disapproval, but that isn't the case. ] Yet I was in plain sight before.

[musou_tensei]

And it was obvious I wasn't in the mood to help a lost old lady.

[ Yukari rises up out of the crouch and... did something kick Reimu's behind just then? Couldn't have been her! Though hr feet are rather well-hidden by that skirt. ] You poor thing. Did you land so hard you shook your eyes loose? If you tell me what room to look for, I can escort you to the nurse's station.

[musou_tensei]

Ow! Hey! The hell are you doing?!

[impersonal_space]

I am waiting on a capable young man to rise up and show me the sights, of course.

[musou_tensei]

That sounds perverted. Do I need to get a teacher, or should I just kick your ass?

[impersonal_space]

How you interpret that is up to you. [ She shifts the umbrella from one shoulder to the other. ] What if you had just threatened a teacher with that kind of talk? I wonder just what they allow students here to get away with. [ Kids these days... ]

[musou_tensei]

If you're asking me to believe you're a teacher, you've got another thing coming.

[impersonal_space]

What other possibility would there be?

[musou_tensei]

You'd be surprised the sorts we get.

[impersonal_space]

Hmm, perhaps I would be.

[ A smile. ] None of that changes the truth that I am now employed here as a teacher. It's as obvious as your continuing to just sit there while I remain a fish out of water.

[musou_tensei]

Isn't that unfortunate.

Of course, if you'd be so kind as to make a donation to this lowly priest, maybe I'd reconsider.

[impersonal_space]

It is dreadful.

[ She tapped a finger to her lip. ] I will need to know what cause I am donating to, as I am not in the business of giving hand-outs.

[musou_tensei]

The Hakurei Shrine. I happen to be the kannushi, estranged from my shrine in the name of doing what is expected of me. You interrupted that with your meddling, so it's only fair you give a donation.

[impersonal_space]

[ A faint smirk. ] You are so humble in your role, as well. As if my meddling had any effect on your presence here. [ She doesn't just mean her immediate interference, either. The words had, as they often do, several meanings ... and the edge of one such meaning was quite sharp. ]

As I am without a stipend as of yet, perhaps you can be a dear and put it on my tab?

[musou_tensei]

-... This woman was a strange one. And he couldn't help the oddly... nostalgic feeling coming over him when she said that. Did he know this woman?-

Alright, fine. Just try not to get lost.

[impersonal_space]

Of course not. [ She gives her umbrella a twirl. ] I have got my eye on you, after all~.
