I Wish to Live Peacefully

You Know Me as the Gardener

"I lose today....the next time, I will."

The master of emotion.

-Youmu's POV-

My name is Youmu Konpaku. A gardener and also a sword instructor of Hakugyokuro where I serve my lady, Yuyuko Saigyouji. A half-human and half-phantom is what my species called. So yeah, what make me different from other youkai or ghost that there is my phantom half that always right beside me. 

"Youmu! Youmu! Is the lunch ready yet?"

That was my lady, Yuyuko Saigyouji, a ghost that capable to manipulate the death. Well, she is very gluttonous and it can be tell by how much do I have to cook for her.

"In a minute milady!"

Well, it's a good thing that I have to do this routine everyday. It make me capable to make a big amount of food. Also thanks to Miss Izayoi for the tips, at least I can make some variants food to serve. Now, I need to get the ice cream that I store inside the fridge. But you know what? The ice cream is gone.

(Well, why the fridge is in Gensokyo? Ask Yukari and Nitori for that :'v)

"No ice cream? Well then, let just serve the mochi as the dessert."

Well, it's better than nothing at all. So I plated it and when to where my lady is. Waiting with her sparkling eyes at the dishes that I bring. Then, I put the last plate that has mochis as the dessert at the table. 

"No ice cream?" she asked me with a disappointed look.

"Unfortunately we run out of it."

"But Youmu, it's so hot today and ice cream is a good choice!" she whined.

"I remember that I bought a bucket size worth of ice cream yesterday. Lady Yuyuko, did you sneak to snacking it at night?" I asked her.

"Ara....I don't know what do you mean."

When I asked that question, she then use her fan to hide her low part of her facial and I know that she smiling behind it. Yup, those line marked that she did it. Oh Lady Yamaxanadu, please give me more strength to handle her more. 

"Please bear with it for now, Lady Yuyuko. After cleaning the plates I will go to refill it. And don't snacking again after lunch and dinner!"

Due to so much amount and gluttonous she is sometimes I have to take errands or hunting for food resources. But mostly the food can be get at the market which is resided on the Human Village. I think it already been repaired due to unknown flying keystones incident, which turned out it was due to Lady Yukari and Tenshi Hinanawi's duel. Well, the fun part is there's one human or an unknown who take her in, no, baby sitting her from what I heard from Lady Yukari when she visited here.

"Nuu....fine. Thanks for the meal." she said that and then looks like she's about to suck the meals.

"Lady Yuyuko, eat it slowly so you can savor the taste better." I scolded her.

"Fine, fine."

Well, time to eat the lunch with my lady. Oh, I hope that we have enough fund to buy the necessity. When I about to eat my first bite, a gap just opened. From it, a silhouette just come out from it and showing a nine fluffy tails. It's one of Lady Yukari's shikigami, Ran Yakumo while bringing a bottle of sake.

"Sorry to interrupt but I have task to do from my lady." she said it while sighing.

"No, please join us Ran. So, where's Yukari?" asked Lady Yuyuko.

"Uhm...my Lady just went to sleep after pulling all night just to do her usual." 

"Oh, what is she planning now?" 

"Well, she take interest on the Odd job. So one of her doing is make him baby sitting the celestial child." 

"One of her doing? So there's more?" I take interest on the topic while preparing another bowl of rice for Ran.

"You know my Lady very well and I think I took pity for the Odd job." Ran said.

Surprisingly, my Lady slowly eating her meals and not suck them like the usual. Well, she will do it when it came to binge eating competition though. I think she lost or tied with one of the taotie if I remember. What's her name? I think she is from clan of Toutetsu. You know what, she is more like an oil mafia due to incident that she caused back then. Even Hakurei shrine maiden almost unable to handle it and lucky it was the little sister of devil who finish it. I know that she was brought by Lady Okina who make a deal with her or has been manipulated as Lady Yukari believed. 

'Hm....the somen is really yummy today and it worth more when my Lady and Ms. Ran happily munched it.'

Well, now I have to buy some foods on the human village again. But you know what I afraid is? I hope Lady Yuyuko not snacking again. You cannot get fresh ingredients on Netherworld since that realm uncapable to make something live except for ghost or phantom. 

"Yup, now for the ice cream." I mumbled to myself while looking at the shopping list.

"C'mere you brat!"

I heard some man shouting and is that Tenshi Hinanawi running at me? That mean the man behind her is the Odd job.

"You will never catch me! Hahaha!" 

Yup, I get the vibe that I will get myself involved. Well, I see the Odd job suddenly take something out of his clothes. But what in the nine realms he just take out? A slipper.

"Oh no!"

He throw the slipper with a speed that make a certain Tenguu journalist in shame. It almost grazed my hair by an inch. Even I cannot do anything but idling like a statue. After taking two or three breathing, my senses came back.

"Sorry about that Miss...."

I realized the Odd job just talking to me. Eh.... what?

"Y-Y-Youmu Konpaku. Nice to meet you!" I said and still can't believed that I get stuttering. 

"My name is Y/N L/N the odd job. I'm sorry about what I did but I have to take this child to attend the school today. Please excuse me." he said it gently. 

I see that the slipper managed to knock out the celestial being. Just what in the world that slipper made of? Anyway, let's bring the groceries home now. But why do I get a feeling that Lady Yuyuko just snacking right now?

-Yuyuko's POV-

'Now I just alone right now. Ran just return to Mayohiga and Youmu still not back yet. I think I will eat some cold mochis on the fridge.'
