五十四 (Text/Voice Post, Japanese)

[You can just hear the heavy tone of sarcasm in his voice.]

Aah... It got away again. What a shame.

Moa-san, if that youkai ever appears before you again, then just let Kantarou or I know. We'll take care of it.

As for everyone else... Keukegen escaped. The only ones who need to worry about it now are the ones with long, dark hair.

But it probably won't be seen for awhile. It tends to keep out of sight, for the most part.

[That being said, he switches back to voice mode.]

It has been awhile since Watanuki-kun has been heard from again. I wonder if ...Hmph.

I've been curious about something. Who else in this city possesses a powerful sixth sense? Not that it matters much here. Yuurei seem to appear to anyone they're willing to show themselves to.

I suppose I would count?

...once it was off of my head, it was kind of cute.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

I fear for my hair now.

[kan_chyan]

I thought I would catch him this time, I really did. It's so not fair!

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

In which sense?

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

There are plenty of things to be afraid of, and many of them are worse than youkai.

But that annoying hairball isn't one of them.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

At least you're not being the bait this time.

I wouldn't worry about it. I don't think we'll be hearing from Keukegen again for awhile.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

And what if you did catch him?

What would you do then?

[kan_chyan]

Be friends of course!

[sukimahag.livejournal.com]

What sort of youkai is this exactly?

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

I should hope not.

[witchoftheweek.livejournal.com]

In terms of a "sixth sense". As a magical being, I can sense magic.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I see.

Hm. You're a youkai too, aren't you? Are you able to see yuurei and youkai that most humans can't with the naked eye?

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

If I'm wrong, then I'm sure you'll be the first to know.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

What makes you think it would want to be friends with you?

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

One covered in hair. It's shy and doesn't usually appear in front of people very often, preferring ones with long, dark hair.

It's harmless.

[witchoftheweek.livejournal.com]

I am, and I should be able to. Admittedly, the nature of Gensokyo, the place I arrived from, allows such things to be visible even to humans, but...

[kan_chyan]

I'm sure it will once it gets to know me.

[sukimahag.livejournal.com]

A very boring creature, why bother capturing it?

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

I feel so secure in that.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

But...?

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure if I would.

Heh.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

[Sigh] You don't really think these things through, do you?

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

I could care less.

Kantarou is the one who has it in his head to capture it so that he can try to make friends with a rare youkai.

[sukimahag.livejournal.com]

I can tell why it's rare. That's a noble intent though~

[kan_chyan]

What's there to think through? As long as I'm confidant things will work out, no reason not to wing it.

[7th-warrant.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

[witchoftheweek.livejournal.com]

The nature of parallel worlds may mean that even the most basic of concepts may not apply. I would have to actually go to your world to know for sure if I can detect the youkai from there.

[onikui-haruka.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...

[witchoftheweek.livejournal.com]

I am probably just overthinking this to be honest. I never had much need to see the unseeable, unless it was in a book.
