Episode 10

Realization ~ Eternal Devotion Arc

Any moment now, I practically expected Reimu to get rid of me, but she didn't. I asked Lady Yukari to try to adapt to my new life and wander around. At first, she didn't want to do it, but she changed her mind, and authorized me nonetheless.

I don't know what to do, I thought I could formally introduce myself to everyone who came to the event. One of them was nothing more and nothing less than Yuuka Kazami, a youkai who likes to fight, and has the power to prove it.


[Yuuka] “So you are Yukari's latest shikigami?”

[Izuru] “That's right, no matter how strange it seems” “My name is Izuru Yakumo, and yours?”

[Yuuka] “Yuuka Kazami, also known as the 'Sleeping Terror' for a long time”

[Izuru] “So what I heard about you is true...” “Nice to meet you”

[Yuuka] “I suppose so” “You wouldn't stand a chance”

[Izuru] “I'm not adept at combat, unlike you, Miss Yuuka”

[Yuuka] “I figured.” “Well, I will be returning to my mansion now, it's around the Garden of the Sun, if you're curious”

[Izuru] “See you sometime”

[Yuuka] “See you”


I decided to keep walking around the shrine, so I went to greet Reimu and Marisa, who were together.

Then, I met the people of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, who came because the owner, Remilia Scarlet, was bored. She was with her maid, Sakuya Izayoi, as always.

Neither were in the mood to talk, though...

I returned to the place where I was located (central point of the shrine) and jumped towards the sky, near the Moon.


[Izuru] “I did it, I finally did it, who knows, maybe I'll keep my job at this shrine, which I enjoy as much as obeying Lady Yukari.” “I would have to find a way to hide my wings, so as not to destroy anything by accident.” “I really am an exceptional case, although I could easily possess another youkai to be a shikigami as such, like Ran, I can do quite well without that”


A little later, I returned to the place where Lady Yukari was located, it seems that she was distracted with some other matter.


[Izuru] “It's finished”

[Yukari] “That's it? If you say so...”

[Izuru] “I'm falling asleep, can we go home?”

[Yukari] “It's okay, I feel tired too”

[Izuru] “Please, can I take you, Ran, and Chen this time?”

[Yukari] “You are so impulsive...”

[Ran] “Okay!”

[Chen] ”?”


I took flight, I carried them on my back, which might have been a problem the first time, however, I felt fine.


[Izuru] “We are leaving now! Goodbye everybody!”


Everyone waved as we left for the Yakumo residence, and disappeared into the horizon.
