Fantastic Intervention in Salvation (Touhou x PMMM)

Reader mode
[X] You should accept, but insist that only one of you should go. This would be less risky than both of you at once, and would free up the other to do something at the same time.

We should see what we can learn as it seems a good opporunity, but we need one of us at least to get some supplies together.
 
//PSA: Edited the "only one of you goes" option because I forgot to make the distinction as to who. Please edit/adjust your votes/votes in progress accordingly.

//Apologies for the inconvenience.
 
[X] You should accept her offer. While there is a risk of accidental exposure, you're not sure if you'll get another opportunity like this anytime soon.

Its not like our ability to fight witches is going to be secret for long

I do agree we aren't keeping thing under wraps for long, but we should split up to cover more ground. Leaving Youmu with Mami is fine, she's stronger then her, so if Mami gets in trouble or makes trouble for hee, she can take care of it. Giving Satori an opportunity to poke around town more and see what we can learn independently.

    "I think we should accept, we're not sure when we'll get an opportunity like this again, after all." you say, "Though I think only one of us should go. That way one of us can do something else at the same time."

    "Makes sense..." Youmu nods, "So what do you want me to do while you're doing that?"

    "Who said I was the one going?"

    "I.... W-Wait, why am I going!?" she blinks.

    "You're less likely to be exposed, considering your other half isn't directly attached to you." you explain, "Not only that, but you also have physical weapons unlike me, meaning you can actually afford to defend yourself without consequence if things go bad."

    "A-Ah... I guess that makes sense..."

    "Relax, I'm sure you'll be fine... Now why don't we tell our host about our decision? We wouldn't want to keep her waiting."

    "R-Right..."

    You make your way back into the other room, where Mami and Kyubey are patiently waiting. Managing a small smile, you approach them.

    "Alright, we have good news and bad news." you say, "The good news is that we accept your offer. Unfortunately, it seems like only one of us will be able to make it. Would that be okay?"

    "It should be fine." Mami frowns slightly, "It would've been nice to have both of you along, but I understand if you have other plans."

    "I'm sure Youmu here can fill me in on what I miss out on." you say, "Anyway, is there a time and place where she should meet you?"

    "Well, I have school tomorrow, so I won't be available until the afternoon." she says, "...The two of you know where the mall is, right?"

    "Of course, we passed it when we were exploring the town."

    "Ah, then how about in front of the mall at 4:00?" she suggests.

    "That seems fine." Youmu nods.

    "Good. I'll meet up with you then."

    "I'll look forward to it."

    Mami smiles and nods, before glancing at you, "So, was there anything else you wanted to talk about while you're here?"

    [] Yes (Write-in)
    [] No.

    • If we didn't want to talk more earlier, why would we want to talk more now? It's not like anything's changed, I think?

    Unless I'm missing something, but...
     
    [X] No. We will be on our way.

    Nothing else to do for now. Let's get back to the bar and wait for tomorrow.

    • //Apologies for the delay, had some IRL stuff eating into writing time. Also just a heads up updates might be irregular during December since I still have IRL stuff as well as a planned visit to family during the last couple weeks of the month.

    //Also sorry if the beginning of this seems a little abrupt, couldn't find a good way to transition the scene without running into writer's block. Ehe... Friendly reminder that your QM isn't perfect...
    [X] No.
    ----------------------------

    "No, I think that will be all." you say, "Anyway, thank you for your hospitality, Miss Tomoe."

    ***​

    After saying your goodbyes and assuring Mami that Youmu would show up at the appointed time and place tomorrow, you depart from the Tomoe residence and begin making your way back to your base of operations. It's honestly good that you're doing so, since you'd rather get out of this coat and relax for the remainder of the evening. Not to mention that, judging by her occasional fidgeting, Youmu's getting closer to her limit as well.

    "So, what do you make of Miss Tomoe?" you attempt to initiate small talk as you travel.

    "She seems nice." Youmu replies, "Not sure about Kyubey, though. I mean that offer is interesting but Lady Yukari did say to be cautious about it. Plus there was the whole thing about Tomoe not knowing about certain information."

    "Indeed." you nod, "I have a feeling that it wasn't telling us everything back there. I really do wish I could've gotten a reading, but doing so would've exposed my nature and lead to unnecessary questions."

    "Yeah..." Youmu goes silent for a moment, "So is there anything in particular you want me to ask about or look out for tomorrow?"

    "You're concerned about that now?" you raise an eyebrow, "We quite a bit of time before we should worry about that..."

    "I know, b-but it's better to plan ahead right?"

    "I suppose, but in this case it doesn't seem necessary. Besides, I'm not entirely sure myself at the moment, I'll likely have something in the morning, though."

    "Ah..."

    ***​

    The remainder of the trip is rather uneventful. Thankfully even with it getting dark out you don't end up lost and return to your current base of operations with no incident. As soon as you close the door behind you, you immediately take off your coat and toss it to the side, before collapsing onto the closest seat and massaging your aching cords. Glancing over at Youmu, you notice her sitting some distance away, closer to the last remaining beams of light filtering through the wooden slats on the windows and gently kneading her phantom half along its length.

    The two of you sit there in silence for a while as your aching fades away, your third eye peering unobstructed into Youmu's thoughts as she attempts to convince herself that despite the place getting darker that only you're here with her and that there were certainly not any ghosts or strange snowflake creatures in the building anymore... and gradually failing...

    You sigh and allow yourself to lean back, thinking about how you should spend your time before night falls completely...

    [] Study the trinket again.
    [] Talk to Youmu...
    -[] ...about the day's events.
    -[] ...about her fears.
    -[] ...about herself.
    -[] ...about tomorrow's plans.
    -[] ...other? (Write-in)
    [] Just relax for now and sleep when ready. (Will advance to the next day immediately.)
    [] Something else? (Write-in)
