Very early in the morning, even before the sun is even up, Meiling gets up from bed, wearing a white sleeping robe that reached to her waist. She heads to Patchouli's library, calling for Patchouli the moment she opens the door. "Lady Patchouli~. Are you here?" Nobody answers, so Meiling decides enter anyway. After walking around for a few minutes, Meiling stops, sighs and says "this place is so big. Maybe I should wait until later. I doubt I'll be able to find the book I need by myself." From behind her, a calm voice says "ah, the gate guard. What brings you here so early?" Meiling yelps, raising her hands up in the air, then turns around to face Patchouli, trembling as she did. She chuckles nervously and says "heh heh, lady Patchouli. S-sorry to bother you so early, but I need to find a book that might help me with my Qi training." Patchouli stares at Meiling seemingly uninterested, then says "alright. Let me look for a special book on the subject." She raises her hand, pointing her finger up and shouts "Anilo X 8, Mari KY 7!" Two large creatures with white eyes, one looking like Ail, the other like Marisa, come quickly after their master calls. Patchouli then says "bring me the book on Qi training, simplified" Both creatures dash toward a same goal, then Patchouli notice's Meiling's surprise and says "golems. They are helping us quite a lot in keeping this library in order." Meiling sweats and chuckles nervously while scratching her cheek as she continues to stand, facing Patchouli. Moments later, both golems return, both holding on to one book titled "Chinese Martial Arts for Fools". They place the book in front of Patchouli, who says "there you go, Meiling. Please keep the book in this room. If you take it outside, you might damage it." Meiling chuckles then asks "for fools?" Patchouli calmly says "don't judge a book by it's cover. I just though a simpler book might aid you more." Meiling sighs, then smiles and says "right. Big words are confusing anyway."
After Meiling is done reading the book, she looks out the window and realizes the sun is up. Koakuma offers her and Patchouli some tea, but Meiling declines the offer, saying "oh don't mind me, please. I'm done already." Patchouli calmly asks "did it help?" Meiling takes a deep breath and says "yes. Thank you for your help, lady Patchouli." then bows to Patchouli. She bends down, revealing her panties. The two golems notice and stare. Patchouli worries and says "p-please, stop that. Just stand up straight." Meiling straightens out, smiles and says "oh my. Sorry about that." She takes a step back, and slips on a conveniently placed banana peel, slipping and spinning in the air, falling on her back, her legs up in the air, making her robe slip don just before her chest is revealed. Patchouli panics and shouts "Koa!!! Blind them!" Koakuma hurries to blind-fold the golems, but after she does, their eyes glow green. Koakuma whimpers, bites her nails, then says "they turn one their x-rays!" Patchouli shouts desperately "Meiling, GET UP!" Meiling sits on the floor, crossing her legs, still revealing her panties. She giggles and says "wow, that was dangerous. I could have gotten hurt!" Patchouli gets up from her chair, clenches her fist and shouts "too much SEX APPEAL~!" Meiling looks at her confused and a little nervous and asks "w-what? What is it!?" Patchouli shouts "TAKE COVER~!" and jumps under her desk. Koakuma flies away from the large golems, screaming as she finds a place to hide. Meiling is unaware of what's going on. She looks at the golems and notices both their heads are shaking violently. She asks "what's going on?" and then a loud explosion. After the thick black smoke clears, Meiling continues to sit on the floor completely stained in black sooth. Patchouli gets out from under her desk and calmly says "they were such good help." Koakuma comes out of hiding and stands next to her mistress and says "I guess without the lust in them, they couldn't handle the sex appeal overdose." Patchouli sighs and says "well, let's start cleaning here." Meiling looks down apologetic and says "ok. I'll help-" but before she could continue, Patchouli says "no! You are in vacation time! Just go clean yourself up. We'll handle the rest." Looking a bit confused, Meiling stares at Patchouli, who says "I mean it..." Meiling bows, then exits the library. Koakuma asks "lady Patchouli? Why didn't you let her help?" Patchouli looks toward the door and says "I feel sorry for her." Koakuma looks at her mistress confused, but decides not to ask more.
DAY 2:
Meiling heads out the door, wearing her usual gate guard outfit. Just as she heads outside she bumps into Sakuya, who comes in with a few groceries. "Oh, good morning, lady Sakuya!" cheerfully says Meiling. Sakuya looks a little surprised at first, then asks "Meiling? Aren't you on vacation still?" Meiling giggles and says "oh, this? Lady Patchouli let me read a very helpful book, so I decided to train today. Umm..." As Meiling looks toward the gate curiously, Sakuya replies "oh, I see. Well, don't forget to enjoy yourself as much as you can, ok? Er, what are you looking at?" Meiling startles a bit, places her arms behind her head and says "oh, heh heh, sorry lady Sakuya. I was just wondering who's my replacement today." Sakuya smiles and says "we hired the little nekomata from the Yakumo." Meiling gets surprised, but Sakuya continues saying "she's been working diligently since she arrived. She's already stopped quite a few would-be intruders. She's so modest too. She says some masked person has been stopping the intruders for her." Meiling smiles and says "aww~ that's so cute. She's a really good girl after all." While Sakuya and Meiling talk to each other, Chen pops her head from the gate and sighs. Rinnosuke gets close to her and says "hi!", but the moment Chen turns around, Ran, who is dressed in tight black clothes, yet still revealing her tails, and wearing a simple black mask that only covers her eyes, swoops down, kicks Rinnosuke away from Chen, flips her thumb up, then continues beating Rinnosuke to a pulp. While this happens, Chen waves her arms desperately, trying to get Sakuya's or Meiling's attention, but the two of them continue talking with each other. After the masked Ran finishes with Rinnosuke, she zips away, hiding behind a tree. Chen curls her tails between her legs and sighs.
Meiling waves to Sakuya while saying "well, I better go now. I want to try out those moves." Sakuya replies "alright. Oh, if you see the little sister, could you tell her to come home early today?" Meiling turns her neck and says "will do! Bye" then turns around again to face Chen. Before she leaves she says "oh, hello. You must be Chen, right?" Chen nervously nods and says "I-I hope to be helpful to you, just like Ran-sama asked me to." Meiling smiles and giggles, then says "of course you will. The head-maid already told me you are doing a great job!" Chen says "oh... yeah. Err... is it ok if I get help?" Meiling pats her head gently and says "there is no shame in getting some help sometimes!" Chen's ears perk up and smiles at Meiling as she retreats her hand away. Meiling smiles, flips her thumb, then flies away, saying "I'll see you later~!" Chen smiles, then notices a few youkai heading her way. She prepares herself to defend the gate, but long before the youkai could reach her, Masked Ran swoops down from a tree, beats the youkai up, then hides back above the trees. Chen sighs and says "why does that masked person keep helping me? I'm gonna get bored."
Meiling stands in an open field surrounded by rocks, between the Human Village, and the Youkai Forest and is just about to start her meditation, when a familiar giggle distracts her. She looks toward the road and notices three humans headed to the forest, probably looking for tea-leaves or lumber, however looking on ahead she notices a familiar pair of prism-shard wings on a tree. She gets up and gets closer, but doesn't interfere. The humans share some casual conversation as they enter the forest, but all are surrounded by pitch-black darkness. The three human males panic. One of them shouts "what's going one here!?" Flandre giggles along with Agava and Rumia. The human shouts "sh--show yourselves, you cowards!" Flandre, whose eyes glow bright red, reveals herself to them and says "hello... do you want to play with me?" She smiles at them widely, then another of the humans shouts "shit! It's a VAMPIRE~!" They try to run, but quickly realize they are surrounded by three more of the same girl. Flandre had used her "4 of a Kind" spell, and now smiles as one of her gets closer and asks "do you want to play?" The human puts up a brave face, but cracks as he says "y-you d-d-don't scare us!" From the left, Rumia asks "is that so~? Well, you heard the brave humans. Let's go back" Flandre quickly cancels her spell, looks at them with a smile, giggles and says "ok, you pass. You may leave now." The humans look at her confused as she and Rumia walk away. They three humans look at each other, but are quickly startled by a girl's screaming. They rush toward the tree at the entrance of the forest and spot Agava, who lies on the ground and says "please, that youkai bit me... please help me!" She looks on at them with sad eyes, making the man blush as he helps her up. He tries to pull her up, but she resists, so he says "please, lady, if you want me to help, you have to-" As he pulls her hand, her entire arm comes off. She gasps and says "oh my, what a strong man. You pulled my arm off." The human turns pale, drops her arm, then slowly backs away. Agava floats up and says "what. Never had a sexy arm in your hands before? Then what a bout a sexy HEAD!?" She pulls of her head and tosses it at them, cackling like a maniac. The humans are frozen where they stand as Agava's cackling head rolls toward them, so Rumia and Flandre swoop down from the trees, shouting "I'm gonna EAT YOU~!" All three humans scream like girls as they run away back to the village, leaving the three youkai girls laughing off their sides while rolling on the ground.
After witnessing this, Meiling sighs and thinks to herself "I hope they don't start a youkai hunt thanks to these three." She walks toward the three laughing girls, loudly clears her throat, getting their attention, then says "that was a really nice trick you pulled, but you should be a little more careful." Flandre gasps and exclaims "b-big sister!" Agava asks "hey~, why don't you call ME big sister!?" Rumia smiles and says "because she is your senior" Agava strikes Rumia on the head with her fist and says "I'm older!" Rumia pouts and asks "is that so~?" Meiling sighs and says "little sister, Sakuya asked that you come home ear... Flan?" Flandre looks at Meiling as though ready to cry. Meiling kneels down and says "little sis, you're still not on about that, are you? I already told you that it's not your fault." Flandre sniffles and says "but I bit you, and you got sick because of me, and now..." Meiling grabs Flandre and embraces her, then says "I already said I forgive you. I also told you it wasn't your fault. When are you going to accept that?" Flandre thinks "after I dealt with big-- with Ail." but says "I... I think I can accept that then." Meiling smiles and rubs Flandre's head, then realizes something and asks "hey Flan? Are you ok being under the sun like this?" Flandre smiles and says "it's ok. It's not hurting me... although I do feel a little tired when under it too much, but thanks to Rumia, I can stay out a little longer." Meiling smiles, then Agava asks "oh, what are you doing all the way out here, miss gate guard?" Meiling stands up and says "oh yes, I came here to train today. See if I can recover myself." Agava lowers her head a little and says "oh... err, need some help?" Meiling smiles and says "I wouldn't mind some company." Agava, Rumia and Flandre all smile with Meiling for a while before going back to the rocky area.
After an hour of meditation, followed by three hours of training, Meiling decides it's time to try out her powers. "Alright. Stand back, you three. I'm going to try that rock over there." says Meiling as she heads toward a tall jagged rock. Rumia, Agava and Flandre look on expectantly, wondering what Meiling was going to try and do. Meiling breaths deeply as she moves her arms in an elegant manner, placing her hands together and lifting her left leg and standing on the tip of her right foot. She jumps toward the large rock, but she spots something in the sky, so she aborts her attack, bounces off the rock, spring up as high as she can, and catches Marisa, who comes flying backward at incredible speeds, however, the speed in which Marisa was flying caused herself and Meiling to travel back a little more, before Meiling manages to stop her completely. After the dust clears, Flandre, followed by Agava and Rumia, reach Meiling, worriedly shouting "Meiling? Meiling, are you ok, big sister!?" Meiling smiles and waves her hand at them with Marisa in her arms.
Marisa sits beside Meiling, Flandre, Agava and Rumia, telling them her story. "...so I just smiled and told her I was heading in and out quickly, then I patted her head. I don't even remember what happened after that. All I remember is seeing someone in black blasting me to next week, and then I landed here." Marisa looks around suspiciously and asks "and what are you four doing here anyway, ze?" Meiling smiles and says "I'm training to recover my strength and abilities. In fact..." Meiling gets up off the rocks and stands next to the tall rock she was aiming at before and says "I was just about to try knocking this rock down." Marisa watches curiously as Meiling breathes, waves her arms, joins her hands, lifts her leg, then jumps toward the rock. Her leg gets surrounded by a colorful energy as she closes in on the rock and upon impacting the large rock Meiling twirls, spinning in the air and turning the large rock into rubble. Meiling drops to the ground, exhales, then grabs her leg and rolls on the ground, shouting "ow, ow, ow, ow! Ooh, that hurt!" Marisa rushes to Meiling, kneels beside her, lifts her pants a little and sees a small bruise on her leg. She looks at Meiling and says "Daze~! Maybe you need to start smaller." Meiling chuckles and says "good idea." A few moments later, Flandre, Agava and Rumia come carrying a dried old tree with them and place it where the rock was before. Meiling smile and says "wow, thanks! But, where did you get this?" Flandre smirks and says "heh he~, we found it." At the Moriya shrine, Suwako sits by the shrine's gate, looking at the communication orb, when Kanako comes and says "hey, Suwako. You're not digging under trees again, right?" Suwako looks at her curiously, then watches as Flandre, Rumia and Agava pull off another tree. She points behind Kanako, who says "what? Me? Are you nuts? I can't do that! Eh? Oh, behind me!" By the time Kanako turns around, the three girls are already gone with the tree. Kanako turns to Suwako and says "that's it. No sake for you tonight." Suwako's eyes fill with tears as she lets out a pathetic "aauuu~". Kanako sighs and says "alright, alright. Three cups and that's it, alright?" Suwako smiles and nods, then continues to look at the orb with the frog image in the center.
Back at the rocky clearing, it's already late noon and Meiling has progressed from tree branches, to the entire tree, and now the rocks, breaking them with her bare hands. Marisa wakes up after her boredom nap and sees Meiling turning large boulders into rubble with her hands. She smiles and says "well well, it seems you have improved a lot in just a few hours, zei~!" Meiling swipes the sweat off her forehead, smiles and says "*phew* thanks. I think I'm back to my full power... if not better than before." Marisa smirks and asks "oh really? Wanna test your strength?" Meiling smirks back and says "sure, why not? Just don't hold back, 'cause I sure won't." Marisa stands a few feet away and says "you're on." Excited, Flandre watches as the two of them square off. Agava sits to her left, while Rumia sits to her side. She looks at both and says "look, look, a fight! This is going to be FUN! GO BIG SISTER!" Both Meiling and Marisa smile and wave at her, then stare at each other, ready for a fight. Marisa smirks says "two spell cards each." Meiling smiles, then nods and says "that should be plenty."
Marisa starts the battle off by launching herself toward Meiling with her broom very suddenly. Meiling blocks just in time, avoiding a full-on collision, then counters with a kick that sends out a wave of rotating colorful energy that misses Marisa by a hair. Marisa rubs her cheek with her thumb and says "this should be interesting, ze!" She pulls out a spell card and shouts "Star Sign - Dragon Meteor!" She jumps in the air and points her Hakkero, but doesn't fire yet. Meiling looks at her and wonders what she's up to. In an instant, a large and colorful beam strikes Meiling hard. Flandre, Agava, Rumia, and now Koishi, who joined in to watch, all sit eating dried beans, dumplings and some sunflower seeds, all saying "ooh~~!" as Marisa's laser continues to brighten up the darkening day. After the beam is done, Meiling stands in the middle of it all, having managed to block some of the damage. She breathes heavily, pulls out a spell card and says "my turn." She jumps up high and shouts "Colorful Sign - Extreme Colorful Typhoon!" She spins around shooting various colorful and small crystal-shaped danmaku bullets, all spreading out randomly. Marisa has a very rough time dodging the shots, having to even flip around on the ground. Koishi pulls out a large white cake while saying "ooh, black and white is having some trouble there." Flandre takes a big gulp of some red liquid in a cup and says "I've done worse to her." Marisa manages to find a safe spot and fires a wide blue laser at Meiling, knocking her out from the air. Meiling gets up, rubbing her head, then rushes to Marisa, trying to land an energy-covered punch, but Marisa ducks and jumps up with her broom in hand, striking Meiling under her chin, then backing away. Meiling rubs her face and says "that hurt. Fine, take this!" Meiling opens her arms wide and crashes them together, generating a large blue orb that tracks Marisa as she tries to avoid it, but is struck at the back, hard. Marisa growls and says "fine, have it your way!" She pulls out her Hakkero and shouts "Perverse Love - Easy-Harvest Master Spark!" A thin beam heads toward Meiling, who quickly finds a large rock and kicks it toward Marisa, who loses concentration, giving Meiling the chance to get close, however she continues her attack after quickly recovering. Meiling has very little time as the small beam quickly expands, so as soon as she is in range she shouts "Chi Sign - Heaven and Earth Dragon Kick!" She strikes the ground hard with her foot, causing Marisa to fly on to the air, then unleashes an energy-filled kick, however Marisa's attack doesn't stop and when both energies collide, a massive explosion rattles half of Gensokyo. Even at the SDM, the tremors of the impact can be felt.
Flandre runs toward the two battlers, giggling, smiling and shouting "Meiling~! Marisa~! that was AMAZING! Eh?" When she gets close enough to them, she realizes both have knocked each other out. Hina Kagiyama flies, spinning above them and as she passes by she says "oh, how unfortunate." then continues her way. Agava watches curiously as the curse goddess flies away spinning. Koishi and Rumia take the very last bite of cake, then head toward Meiling and Marisa. After 30 minutes, both wake up. Flandre hugs Meiling, then Marisa and says "that was AMAZING! You two battled incredibly, Marisa, you and I have to play like that too!" Marisa weakly chuckles and says "sure... just not right now." Flandre smiles and says "ok. Oh, big sister, it's time to go back home, right?" Meiling rubs her head as she slowly gets back up and says "yeah, I guess so." She extends her hand to Marisa, who gladly accepts it, pulls her up, gives her a hug and says "thanks Marisa. Thanks to you, I know my training was a success!" Marisa blushes and says "ok, ok... Just stop this. People might get the wrong impression, daze~!" Meiling stops hugging her and says "sure, heheh, sorry about that." Koishi smiles and says "that was fun, but I better get home now. Sis will be worried." then skips away, humming a song to herself. Marisa says "suddenly, I want to eat rice soup... See ya later, ze!" She hops on her broom and flies away in a hurry. Flandre watches as Marisa leaves and says "I hope Sakuya made pasta with red sauce... yumm~!"
After arriving to the mansion's gates at night, Flandre immediately heads inside, shouting "I'm ho~me!" as she enters the doors. Agava and Rumia head toward the Misty Lake; Meiling asks "aren't you coming with us?" Agava says "no, no, we like hunting for our food, right Rumia?" Rumia smiles and says "is that so~!?" then jumps up and down and says "meaty bat ready for me~!" then rushes away, Agava trailing behind, shouting "HEY~! Leave some for me too, you hog!" Meiling smiles and chuckles, then looks at Chen comes out of the mansion with her pay in hand. She happily skips toward Meiling and says "yippee, I got payed!" Meiling smiles and says "oh. You did a good job?" Chen nods, then Meiling pats her on the head, making her wiggle her ears and wave her tails around. Meiling asks "so are you coming back tomorrow?" Chen, sounding a little disappointed says "no. Ran-sama won't have it. She says it could get dangerous. Oh, there's Ran-sama. Sorry miss Meiling. I have to go no! Bye~!" Meiling waves at her and says "bye~!" as Chen reaches Ran, excitedly saying "Ran-sama, Ran-sama, look, I got payed!" A little winded, Ran says "oh my, Chen. That means you did a good job, huh?" Chen says "yeah... but there was this jerk in a mask and wouldn't let me do much, so i got a little bored!" Ran twitches and asks "oh... really?" Meiling watches with a smile as they leave, then notices Rinnosuke, full of bruises and bumps on the ground. He mumbles something, but she is unable to understand, so she stands him up and asks "what did you say, sir?" Rinnosuke shouts "HERE!" and angrily hands her a letter, then, as he leaves, he shouts "it's for someone called Meiling, YOU give it to her. Gate guards *grumble grumble* idiots! *grumble grumble* ...one single letter!" Meiling watches with curiosity as he leaves, then opens her letter.
"It's a letter from Makai?" she asks herself. The letter reads "Dear miss Hong, we are sorry to inform you that the Makai tour had to be postponed for two days due to "technical difficulties" We hope this does not hinder you in any way and offer our sincerest apology. We hope to see you soon, The Makai Vacationing Tours." Meiling looks at the letter curiously and says "I see... this was addressed for delivery yesterday... Oh well!" She smiles and says "Good thing I saved this part of my vacation for last! Ahh..." Her stomach grumbles loudly. "I'm hungry. I wonder what's for dinner tonight?" Beaten up, smiling, and humming to herself, Meiling enters the mansion, hoping today's dinner is a special one. From the windows above, Sakuya watches sadly, as Meiling enters the mansion. Remilia stands beside her and startles her when she says "don't worry. She'll be ready. You'll see." Sakuya smiles and says "my lady. *sigh* I hope you're right." Remilia, as if teasing her, says "ooh~ you gonna cry?" Sakuya turns away from her mistress to look at the night sky and says "right now... I think I could, my lady." Remilia stays quiet for a moment, then says "you are worrying too much, Sakuya. Come on, let's have a nice dinner now." Sakuya turns to her mistress, bows and says "as you wish, my lady."
