The only problem with that is that Simurgh doesn't see things real-time, so by improving our immunity we become more and more invisible to her.

And if she cannot percieve us, how can she hug us?

she does have eyes you know. its just that her range of vision is vastly inferior to her pre/post-cog abilitys, so it tends not to fact into her plans.
even if we were 100% immune, as long as we were right in front of her, she could still hug us.

Reread the Doctor Mother interlude. The eyes are cosmetic, Simurgh's only senses are its pre- and postcog abilities. It guides itself through the actions it foresees it will take, and present is explicitly mentioned as weak spot.

That said, as Scion shows you need a lot more precog immunity for Simurgh to not be able to mess with you. Like Fortuna on mountain of body parts, it can just look at itself.
 
Here's why the Simurgh was surprised.

Ziz: "Aah, a nice chance to lay back and get some sun..."
Okuu: "Hi!" *Simurgh jumps in surprise*
Z: "Wait, who are you? I didn't have any appointments scheduled today!" *Goes to check book*
O: *Boop*
Z: "...Oh, there you are. I don't know why I didn't see you in my schedule book before. Okay, and then next Thursday, too?"
O: "Friend!"
Z: "Alright then... I guess vacation can wait an hour. Want to hear a song, little birdy?"
O: "Song!" *makes adorable happy face*

It's less you surprised the Simurgh because she can't see you at all, and more you surprised the Simurgh because she didn't know you existed or would show up all of a sudden.

She can see you, and your general future. But whereas she can plot years in advance for other people, you start to get a little 'blurry' after a while. She can still see the general idea, but not exact details, nor how variation of those details could change actions further down the line.
 
It's stated in canon that you can spend a short amount of time near Ziz when she starts singing without being considered a Simurgh bomb. Since all we did was poke her once and then run away, I doubt we exceeded that threshold. I'd like to let us at least have a chance to stay along with the humans.

We should try to get to at least half the glory we are in canon.

10 : Green Crow Needs Food Badly
Well, your wings are starting to get tired and your new headache is really starting to bug you. Time to head back, and maybe take a nap for a bit…

"Bye, Oshiro! See you soon!" Waving farewell to your new friend, you start flying back to your (hopefully temporary) home for a nice nap.

...Now which direction did you come from?

***

You wake in the night to a terrible noise.

It is quite possibly the most dreaded noise that you have ever heard in your entire life. And it's accompanied by a feeling in your gut that's just as terrible. And you know what they mean.

You're really hungry…

"Unyuu…" Rin isn't here to make you any food, and you don't see any around. Looks like you'll have to go looking for some…

But where are you going to get food in the middle of the night?

[ ] Well, people have food, right? Go to the city!
-[ ] ???

[ ] Surely there must be something to eat around here…

[ ] ???

Hurray for short updates!

I really should have written this yesterday or the day before, since it's so short, but…

Anywho, short update to pick a direction. Meanwhile, I have to ponder whether or not to write the scene with Dragon and Legend freaking out.

Wait no, Sin is smarter than me

But Okuu is a youkai.
Besides, lets find out if eating people gives us more power.

I really hope we stumble upon a crime scene just as the local Wards arrive and before they can say anything start eating the corpses. That or we break into a mortuary.
 
Choices, Choices. Biigoh or Sinsystems...

Fuck it, decide for me, spare change.

Meiling vs Leviathan
Alexandria panted as she struggled to keep Leviathan away from Kyushu. While she possessed nigh infinite endurance and durability, it wasn't perfect.

Every breath she took reminded her of this fact.

Every hit by Leviathan that she took, which drove the air in her lungs out reminded her of this fact.

She needed to breath and it was clear that the Endbringer KNEW this.

She charged Leviathan once more as she recovered from the hit, the short swords created by Hero were pointed straight at Leviathan as she arrowed in on him. Her speed was enough to create a wavefront where the pressure from the air collected before her created a pocket around her where there was no water.

The only sound that filled her ears was the beating of her heart.

She sliced past the reptile-like Endbringer, the sound of metal screech upon stone filled the air, as Hero's blades bit deep... it was a risk that he had noted... that it was possible that Leviathan might have bones that were dense enough that his blades wouldn't pierce them.

As she continued on her flight trajectory, she found herself arcing up and back... the breath driven from her lungs once more as a dull ache filled her stomach from a tail strike.

There was a flash of green and red hair as someone smiled down at her warmly, having caught her. "Don't worry... I will deal with him."

There was a flare of rainbow hues from that unknown cape as she placed Alexandria on the roof where they had landed.

Shimmering with the rainbow radiance, the green clad cape who was dressed like a stereotypical chinese from a martial arts movie before the rise of the CUI leaped at Leviathan with a flying leap kick.

That day, Kyushu did not sink as the actions of the mystery cape codenamed "CHINA" by the protectorate drove away the Endbringer by herself.

You should definitely do the dragon/legend interlude.​
