“Excuse me Yui-niji-chan,” you ask softly, the unusual use of the word 'subordinate' earning you an odd look from your new friend, “but I believe I heard you say that Kiku-chan wants me, personally, to take an offering to Ryujin Owatatsumi, personally.”

Yui, holding a double handful of dry branches, looks at you dubiously. “No, I said that Kiku-sama wants you to take an offering to Ryujin Owatatsumi.” Her forthright declaration makes you relax a little.

“So I don't actually have to go to his palace or anything.” You're not quite sure you could have handled that.

“Oh, no, he's supposed to show up here. Or one of his servants, but it's really supposed to be him.” Toshida Ginka, the youkai-born Ama diver you made friends with, is alternating giving Yui disbelieving looks and staring at you.

[] Oh, that's all right – WAIT, NO IT ISN'T.
[] When, exactly, would that be, Yui-chan?
[] Ginka, would you mind if we met up later? I need to talk to my priestess....
[] Would you like to meet my family Ginka, because I need to talk to them.
[] You're just going to go sit under a tree for a few minutes, be right back.

[XX] Oh, that's all right – WAIT, NO IT ISN'T.
[XX] When, exactly, would that be, Yui-chan?
[XX] Would you like to meet my family Ginka, because I need to talk to them.

You close your eyes and take a deep breath. “So, if I understand right, I'm to take an offering made by my priestess, with assistance form her miko, and personally take it to meet the Dragon God of the sea, or his representative, so that they may receive it and bless the Ama divers and Mikimoto Pearl Island for the next year.” Yui nods nonchalantly as you open your eyes and go to one knee in front of her. “Yui-niji-chan, you DO know who Ryujin Owatatsumi is, don't you?”

She nods, though her expression of uncertainty stems more from your weird reaction to the seemingly simple act of giving a spiritual offering to the kami. Her eyes flick over to Ginka, but she otherwise doesn't react to your somewhat slow processing of this supposedly harmless duty. Then again, she's used to dealing with the Kami Dragons, so you might be overreacting.

Placing a hand on Yui-niji-chan's shoulder, you look into her glowing blue-green eyes. “Okay. I just wanted to make sure you understood that I – as in, the head of RYUU household, a child of a KAMI DRAGON – is supposed to take an offering directly to RYUJIN, the KAMI DRAGON of all the oceans.” Ginka swallows nervously, and looks at you kohai, her jaundiced complexion darking to a rather sickly green as she realizes the implications.

“Yeah, I know.” You blink rapidly at her aplomb. Can't take a compliment, but treats your introduction to your father, the god, as a casual, everyday occurrence. “I have to get these to Kiku-chan so she and Kiki-hime can make more of those weird things.”

“Nushi.”

“Yeah, those.”

“Um. When does this take place?”

“Oh, while you're diving with the Ama today. Kiku-san said you'd have to even if it wasn't allowed and such, because this is his shrine we're at.” Yui looks down at you guilelessly. “Is there anything else, aniki?” The familiar use of the word 'boss' snaps Ginka out of her astonishment and she looks at you and mouths the word in confusion.

“I'll explain later. Actually, if you would like, you can come with me and meet my family. You already know too much for your own good, so you may as well meet the rest of us.” Giving a wink to Ginka you smile, which relieves her worry quite a bit after the semi-threatening words. You take a deep breath. “Thank you, Yui-niji-chan.” You give her a kiss on the forehead and she blushes brick red, her tail flipping about wildly, which could be dangerous if you give her any more titles. Ginka smiles and watches yui leave, before turning to you with a thousand question in her eyes.

[] Um, yeah, about my name....

[X] Really, I have no idea why they call me that....

[XXX] So, did you want to meet my family....?

You stand up and run a hand trough your hair. “I'm sorry, I really had no idea she was going to ask me to do something like that.” Turning to face Ginka-san, you smile a little. “I don't think this stuff is going to cause you any trouble really, but it apparently happens all the time around people like me. Demigods, I mean, not dragonettes. Well, maybe around some dragonettes. Actually, I don't even know if that's true, so, I guess nevermind?”

The scarred girl giggles, and you relax as she seems to get a handle on the situation. “So, when ba-chan said, 'Oh, watatsumi,' she was really saying your name?” she asks curiously. Zunbera-ama, the head of the Ama divers here, did seem to know a lot more than she let on.

“Well, not really. My father's name, but that's not my name. It's Ryuu, which is pretty generic, but it's the only name I've had. And no, I have no idea why all my my servants – they're not really – call me aniki. And I didn't know Ryujin was my father at first.” You sigh and look up, rubbing one horn. “My life became pretty complicated awfully quickly. I keep stumbling into new, weird coincidences and setups that I had no idea about. It's a really, really long story. Still, I have a wonderful family, and I sometimes get to meet new friends.” You shrug, holding out your hands. “So, would you like to meet my family? I mean, the ones here, not Ryujin Owatatsumi.”

That makes her give a nervous little laugh. “I'm a really small turtle, I don't think I could handle meeting one of the Great Kami. But, yes, I'd like to meet your family. Your kohai seemed pretty interesting, if a little nervous. She's really sweet though.” And the best part of Toshida Ginka saying that is that you get no hostility, no threat, no twinge of suspicion about her motives at all. She really is just some youkai-born girl working as an Ama diver and enjoying living and working at Mikimoto Pearl Island.

You would have liked a life like this, maybe.

“Actually, she tastes a little like lightning charged air, but that's my opinion. I'll have to ask her girlfriend. Mind you, she is really sweet, too. Yui, not her girlfriend; her girlfriend is the strong, silent type. Come to think of it, they're all very sweet in their own ways, my family is. Though Kiku-chan – that's my....ah, our....anyways, she's the priestess – she can be really hot tempered at times.” You smile and shrug once more as you make your way back out to the walkway.

Ginka is looking a little stunned at your casual discussion of your friends' sexual preferences. A grin seems to reassure her. “I have a kind of Taoist take on things like that. Whatever, whoever, whyever, as long as everyone is happy, I don't care that much. Besides, Yui-chan doesn't really see things the way anyone else does, I think. I'm not sure if that's because I killed her after we first met or because she was like that before.” Ginka is looking at you aghast. “Oh, she got better – obviously, I mean, I couldn't just kill some cute oni-chick just because she insulted me.”

It takes Ginka a moment to process all that, but after that moment, she smiles faintly. “It sounds like you have a very close relationship to everyone in your household, Aoi-san.”

“Aoi is fine.”

“Oh...then....I guess you can just call me Ginka.” You smile and she blushes a little. “Anyways....it seems like you really are close to the people you work and live with.”

“Well....it's a little like you and the Ama, really. You're more of a family than you are a working crew, really. Zunbera-ama seems like family, not your chief. And the other women treat you like a sister, don't they?” The idea seems to give her pause, and she nods slowly. “I know it's hard being youkai-born. I've known....well, a number of them. It's hard on them, no matter where they are. I'm just really glad you found a family in your fellow divers.”

A sidelong glance lets you know she's eying you speculatively, unsure of how you pieced together that much of her life so quickly. The sheepish grin that crosses your lips is unfamiliar, but not fake at all. “Sorry, I just look at things and they make a certain kind of sense. It's what Water dragonettes do.” You decide to leave out the deadly part. Besides, you suspect that Ginka could be pretty dangerous, if she chose to be.

“Zunbera-bachan helped me get this job, actually. She's been looking out for me since I was young. My mother was poor, but we did all right. She lived next door, and watched over me when my mother worked late. Sometimes she would make strings of pearls, and told me stories of the ocean, and the spirits and kami in them.” Approaching the temple, you give Ginka a nod to show you understand. Outside the temple are several people giving out fliers, including a miko-outfitted Kiki-hime. The tight obi really does nice things for her figure. “Anyways, she asked if I would like to learn how to be a pearl diver, and my mother allowed it....so that's really most of my life story.”

[] That sounds really nice, to be honest.

[XXX] You didn't have any problems with your nature?
[XXX] You're very lucky, in my opinion.
[XXX] ….that sounds lovely....you should probably move in a month or so.
[XX] That sounds really nice, to be honest.

You glance at her, as she tells you a little of her past, and you find yourself imagining it rather vividly – not through any magic or power, but just through the power of your own mind. “You're youkai nature didn't cause you any problems?”

Ginka starts to shake her head but then hesitates, a slight sigh escaping her lips. “Well, there was the usual coming of age issues....I did go to Celestial High, for a while, but there really wasn't much for me there, and I was never anyone important. But mostly, what little trouble my nature did give me was very mild, outside of The Insult.” You know exactly what she means by 'The Insult'. It got Yui-niji-chan killed. “Really, I have had a very dull life.”

Kiki-hime catches sight of you as she is handing out a flier, and while she doesn't pause in her work, she turns a brilliant smile upon you, and for a moment you're basking in the noon-day sun, swimming in the darkest ocean depths, and in bed with all your loved ones nearby, all at the same time. You smile back and give her a little wave, and her sky blue eyes crinkle at the edges in humor. You have to tear your eyes away, because she looks positively gorgeous in the white and red, her soft fuchsia hair pinned up and knotted, those sky blue eyes big enough to drown in....

You shake your head and look at Ginka. “I think you were very lucky, to have a life like that.” Ginka looks at you, startled. “It seems....it IS, I think, very wonderful, to have a plain life when there is so much that could be happening in it instead. Your life might seem quiet and boring to you, but really, it's a good life. 'An interesting life' really is the curse they say it is.”

You slow and glance at Ginka seriously. “I would move your mother to a nice, pleasant cottage high in the mountains, away from the big cities and the oceanside.”

Before she can respond, you reach Kiki-hime and step to one side. Kiki-hime looks at Ginka and smiles brightly. “Hello....” Ginka looks at Kiki-hime, and once she takes in the miko's uniform, her eyes dart to each hand....and focus on the ring your wife wears, pure white jade, transformed by Amaterasu-Omikami from black jade. The mate to your red jade ring. She bows deeply, surprising Kiki-hime who then looks at you, bemused.

“Ginka-san, this is Kiki-san. You might remember her from school, or a number of billboards....” Kiki has the grace to blush faintly. Another life for her too.

Standing up, Ginka hesitates, and then just tries to say it outright: “Kumatori Kiki....is your....” Ginka is looking at you in a bit of shock, and you nod.

“I warned you it was a long story, and complicated!”

“Toshida Ginka....you were in class 3-C. I remember; your hair is much shorter now....” Kiki smiles and bows to Ginka, who bows back, embarrassed. “I see that you've been troubling more innocent girls....” she starts, turning to you as you murmur through the void to her. “....Aoi-chan.” Her smile becomes arch and she flutters her eyelashes. “You haven't charmed her have you, Aoi?”

You reach over and link your pinky with Kiki's. “No, hime-chan, I haven't done a single untoward thing at all to her, or anyone else. She's an Ama diver, and introduced me to the others.”

Kiki-hime's eyes widen and she can barely contain her excitement. “Really? So, you'll be taking my husband diving?” Even you're a bit taken aback by her boldness.

Ginka, who is blushing brightly, smiles and bows her head. “I'm flattered you remember a quiet turtle with no special talents, Kumatori-sama....”

“Nonsense, I remember your tests were always above average grades!” Kiki admonishes your new friend gently. “And it's just Kiki, here. I'm just another miko helping the priestess today!”

Ginka smiles and bows slightly, which prompts Kiki to bow back. “I'm....I'm really honored, Kiki-san. Your Aoi moves in highly regarded circles, it seems....” She's both flustered and embarrassed, but also somewhat in awe. “When Aoi-san said she wished me to meet her family, I didn't expect quite such an amazing one.”

Kiki giggles. “Oh, I'm the least amazing person in this family....” She laughs gently at Ginka's expression and touches her hand as she releases yours. “It is good to see you doing so well, Ginka-san.” Ginka nods and blushes as you walk her up the steps to the cleansing fountain, giving your wife another wink, as she smiles brightly back.

Despite the fact you're not really a miko, you still perform the cleaning rite with perfect precision and care; almost every spirit-child has to learn it. You assist Ginka with hers as well, and she seems a little awestruck still.

[] It's not quite as bad as all that, Ginka, really!

“I really do keep forgetting that out in the real world, Kiki-hime was someone important. I mean, being hired as her bodyguard was an interesting idea, but I grew up....kind of isolated from the world that the rest of you grew up in.” Ginka looks at you, her eyes once more filled with questions. “I am her bodyguard still, yes, and I'd give my life for hers, if it came down to that.” Except she made sure you couldn't do that, on a technicality. “Despite that, we're really and truly working for the priestess in the temple, and we really are on a sort of pilgrimage.”

One day as a miko isn't going to give anyone enough time to mobilize, especially in as isolated and unusual a venue as Mikimoto Pearl Island. Only an idiot would dare try and attack anyone here.

As you ladle the water over her hands and wrists, you notice it beads up instantly and flows off her skin immediately. You neglect to mention this fact, attributing it to her youkai nature as a kappa's child. “You're a very strange person, Aoi-chan,” she murmurs softly, and you smile as she sips the water to rinse her mouth and spit away from the pool to the drainage grate nearby. “I don't mean like, bad strange,” she murmurs, not trying to recover a faux pas as much as try and find the correct wording. “More like....like the kind of strange that makes you wonder at the real depths of the world.”

“Well, if it makes you feel better, despite Kiki-hime's claim most of the rest of my family is a little more ordinary than she and I are.” A grimace pulls at your lips. “Which isn't really saying all that much now that I think about it.” that brings soft laughter from her, and you smile, setting the dipper back in place before opening the temple doors for her. The temple is well through the shoji screens at the sides, now that the shutters are pulled back to let the sunlight filter through the clean white rice-paper walls. Kiku is near the statues of Ryujin and the Tatsumi dragons that occupy the main wall of the temple in brass, incense flowing around them. Inau-kun and Yuuhi-chan are working on tying shavings of willow bark onto the many branches Yui-chan brought them, under Kiku's watchful golden eyes as she murmurs prayers. Yui-chan is carefully feeding Akari-chan what appears to be a kind of won-ton soup, while Akari is actually sitting up, and looks better than she has in some time.

As all eyes turn on you, Ginka takes a startled step back, the powerful presence of Inau-kun and the aura of potency Kiku-chan presents affecting even you. This is somewhat mitigated by the fact that Yuuhi-chan's tongue is poking out of the corner of her mouth, as she carefully ties the willow-bark curls to the branch she has held between her slippered feet. Yui smiles at your new friend, while Akari blinks sleepily at you and Ginka....

Who is really in more than a bit of shock.

Poor girl.

“Well, Kiki-hime really was teasing, but sometimes I forget what an unusual group of people I fell in with,” you admit. A demigod, a Fire dragonette priestess easily six times Ginka's age, an enlightened nogitsune-child, an oni-chick literally stolen from heaven, and a Stone dragonette blessed by the literal god of oni.

You knew your life was abnormal, but Ginka's awestruck reaction really is bringing home exactly HOW abnormal your life is – and she hasn't even met the Chinese dragon or your sister the professional seer.

Yes, you really could have enjoyed a slightly more normal life....

If your life was slightly more normal Ryukusa, we wouldn't be having a quest starring you.

Thank you all for reading and playing.

I hope to continue on Wednesday at 9:00 am PST, and look forward to a nice long session that day after proper sleep and rest.

I am doing somewhat better, but it may be some time before I'm healed up to normal. My holidays were quiet and worthwhile, and I hope that everyone else had pleasant holidays, if not great ones.

Ahh-! It's still the 28th over here! I guess I'll get the chance to join in the quest tomorrow for the first time!

>>44431922
That would be the 30th, day after tomorrow - it's the 28th here too.

Question for XS! What height/sexuality is the landlord?

Asking the important things here.

>>44431883
Thank you, XS. They were pleasant enough.

>>44431883
It's good to know you're feeling at least a bit better, XS!

Thanks for running!

Whichever ones it decides to be. It is, after all, the fuzzy toad beast of Black N'Kai.

>That pic
That's... that's not actually from a manga, is it? You changed the text right? Because of you didn't then you better give me the goddamned source.

Actually, can you give me the source anyway? More dragongirls are always welcome.

That's pretty fuzzy.

Thanks for running!

>>44432078
I changed the text, but it's from Kobayashi-san chi no Maid Dragon, and it's all about a girl need Kobayashi and how she managed to get a dragon as her maid.

>>44432107
Thank you, kind anon.

>>44432053
May I ask what would have happened if we had chosen a swearing option for Yui?

>>44431883
Was a fun thread.

Thanks, XS!

I'll have to look into this.

I did promise Ryukusa in a miad uniform....

I would heartily recommend it. It's pretty much almost slice of life dragon ridiculousness.

>>44432053
>>44432164
I meant when we were playing as her, sorry if I was unclear.

>>44432164
Ah.

Well, she would have tried swearing.

Which, as you have seen, she is really terrible at.

Most likely it would have resulted in headpats and someone telling someone else to download an Urban Dictionary section on curse words.
