[x] Silly Symphony - The Big Bad Wolf

[x] Shirley Temple’s Storybook: The Little Mermaid

A rather fitting title since Wakasagihime is here. Didn’t actually realize that the story was more than an animated movie, but I guess that’s always the case for movies.

“Nitori,” I flag the girl from around the corner, holding out the tape, “here.”

She inspects it closely, drawing a finger over the etchings.“Ah, yeah, I can see that,” Nitori replies, nodding in understanding. “Although, are you sure you wanna go with this? I thought it was pretty melodramatic.”

I look down at the record, and then over by Ran as I mutter, “Is it? I can’t say I really remember that.”

Never watched Shirley Temple before. It’s always been a novelty on my mother’s shelves, but a younger me thought it was something too girly to venture. Guess I’ll have to find out if it’s the pre-modern chic-flick.

“What’s the title?” Cirno nudges into the conversation, tilting the etched label towards her as I hand off the film. “Oh? I can’t read this…”

“You can’t?”

“Well obviously she can’t, it’s not like there’re that many people that can read English, genius,” Nitori scolds me. She picks up a set of notes from one of the lower shelves and looks it over, checking between them and the film. “Shirley Temple’s Storybook: The Little Mermaid. Actually remembered this one off hand.”

I realize the immediate issue with this, “Wait, if the movie’s title is in English is the movie also in English?”

Nitori glances up from the notes, thinking through the question before answering, “… No? I don’t like questioning those kinds of things. Too much of a headache. It was too bad, too, since one of the kappa is really into translating foreign languages.”

I suppose they’d need that sort of talent with the amount of foreign writings that could come into Gensokyo. Especially engineering related. Though I wonder just how much useless engineering writings have been forgotten over the decades? Does the barrier care for Sturgeon’s Law?

“Kappa,” Ran speaks, “how many of these records are of foreign make that you have found?”

The kappa in question

Kinda saw this coming after speed watching the little mermaid video linked earlier. Not sure what the other option's outcome would be though.

I was thinking of making a write-in for Hitchcock movie but decided against it.

[X]Grill Kokoro for more information. Because of her fondness for Mamizou, there was little reason to trust her at the moment.

[X]Take Kokoro with them to look for Mamizou and Nue. She'd open up more if they at least pretended to help her.

[x] No need to make her do something she’s not comfortable with. If I have to nix the idea then so be it.

Honestly, being given the choice NOT to do it when Wakasagihime clearly isn't too comfortable to do so just makes it rather clear to not do it. Besides, we already kinda messed up with Kogasa and it's a lesson to take to heart.

A double update?! No, a new thread! It it time for us to leave behind the chapters of the rainbow warrior and the forgotten umbrella. Let us remember them as we go into the next chapter's journey with the mermaid.

This chapter was a pain to write because I didn't want the story to go here and where it will next chapter.

Reimu slept better than she expected to. Maybe the ceiling of vines, leaves, and flowers had helped. Whatever those glowing blue lights were had also disappeared. She stepped out of her plush mushroom bed and cringed at the touch of the cold moss floor. She sat there adapting to it before she stood up properly and moved to leave the room.

She found Chen in the main sitting room, drawing something. The cat turned to her and said, “Hi, Reimu!”

“Good morning, Chen.”

“Good morning!” the cat spoke again. Then she pushed herself up, grabbed her paper, and presented it to the shrine maiden, face beaming proudly all the while.

Reimu was no stranger to situations like this, thanks to Keine dragging her to the temple school, but usually, the kids would show her a picture of something resembling an animal or how much their characters had improved. “Oh…! This is… really good! Good job, Chen!”

“Sanskrit!” the cat said smugly, rolling back and forth on her feet.

The human nodded slowly. “…Wow! That’s… impressive!” She handed the paper back to the youkai. “I’ll let you get back to that then.” Chen’s smile somehow widened even further before she brought it back to the table. Reimu moved into the kitchen and sat down at the high table sitting in the middle.

Ran set down a cup of tea, a bowl of rice, and a plate of eggs in front of the shrine maiden, saying, “Good morning. It is currently 10:13:28 AM.”

“Huh?”

“The time,” the shikigami spoke as if it explained anything. She put her hands in her sleeves before continuing. “Was the quality of your sleep adequate?”

“I guess. I think that room you gave me is better suited for Marisa, though.”

“I agree, but I have no say in the interior decorating beyond, ‘get rid of everything that proves too much of a hassle to bother keeping.’”

“Like what?”

“It depends. It could be something dangerous, hard to clean… Stuff l

Ran should be amazing at bowling though. Even aside from the shikigami calculation but, Chen’s a living, whirling bowling ball! :p

I’m looking forwards to Reimu’s plan backfiring. Her incident instincts might always be right, but I’m pretty sure these aren’t!

This isn't WaHH Reimu so there's a non-zero chance of it going well. A very low chance
