-baking, first time baking you pervs, bet i got some of ya.

------------------------------------------------------

Sitting before them was the maiden who identified herself as Reimu, sipping calmly on a cup of tea and sitting in front of Yuuka who also had her own cup. Y/N sat separately from them with Sunny on his lap, looking into his pan-hat and making sure it was fine.

Reimu, after finishing part of her tea, put down the cup and let out a sigh of relief. "So, if what you're telling me is correct, he is the cause for these strange plants appearing everywhere...why?" She wondered directing her gaze not to the outsider but to the flower maiden in front of her.

"He says he came from the real world, beyond the Hakurei Barrier and probably from the future." Answered Yuuka, keeping her eyes closed and taking her time to finish her tea.

The red maiden finally turned to him, examining his body to find any irregularities, it was unusual for any human to go through the barrier at will after all.

"...he doesn't seem dangerous, at least. I'll let him stay here under one simple condition." Y/N tilted his head in curiosity, she seemed like a big shot in Gensokyo so getting her approval was overall a priority, same thing that he recognized just by the fact they had to talk it out with her first. "My only condition is that you retrieve all of your plants, there are a lot scattered around- and no i did not lay a finger on them, they didn't attack me first so i didn't fight them."

A sigh of relief escaped the gardener's lips, still he was confused by the fact there were more plants around than the ones he brought with him, asking her with confusion. "I didn't bring too many plants...how many did you see out there?" "About fifty or so, stopped counting after the seventeenth fighting choy." The answer was almost immediate as if she was already expecting him to ask that.

"Thank you for understanding Reimu, so...can we leave now?" Yuuka got up from her seat with her parasol in hand, looking into Reimu's eyes with a calm smile, to which the priestess answered with a sigh. "Seeing as none of you are the cause of this incident nor is it causing any harm, you can leave." With a small bow from both of the guests, they left Reimu's temple and got on their way down the stairs.

The sunflower on Y/N's shoulder did a small noise to communicate with her owner, earning a nod from him that didn't come without his usual smile. "It was a tense atmosphere, i agree! I almost couldn't breathe in there! How do you handle a conversation with someone as serious as her?" His question was directed to the flower maiden, who let out a small chuckle as a response before speaking up. "You just get used to it after you're blamed for many incidents relating flowers, or just when people blame you for random things, then you have to deal with her."

Y/N remembered what she told him about, how people in the village feared Yuuka for the tales told about her, for her existence within the flower garden, a sad and lonesome place for a girl so kind as her. He knew she wasn't like that at least, she was much more than meets the eye. "...i've decided, dinner's on me tonight! I'll tell Penny to come pick us up!" "Wasn't it broken? How will-?"

Before Yuuka could finish her sentence, the blasting noise of music approaching them could be heard coming from the horizon, the flying van fell right infront of them all ready and repaired, for whatever reason.

"How did you fix it in so little time?" Asked Yuuka confused for the matter, just some hours ago it wasn't that...clean. "I left the Bonk Choys to fix it and Sunny left some sunflowers on charge, i did the hard part and they did the easy part!" He laughed not the slightest bit ashamed or fearful of his choice to leave it to them. "Then who's driving it?"
