Otherworldly Escapade

Defragmentation

Back at Eientei

Kaguya is staring at the night sky. To be exact she's looking at the moon. A gentle breeze washes over her as she continued to stare at the serene night sky.

"Reminiscing about the past, princess?" Eirin said.

Kaguya turns her attention to her and replied. "Yes, I do wonder what will be the outcome if she's not there..."

Eirin went silent for moment before answering. "Then the original plan would have happened. Either way, the result would be the same." She paused as she too took a quick look at the night sky. "Though, the experiences she gave you won't be the same without her. That is according to my calculations. Am I right?"

Kaguya smiled at her and nods. "I already miss those times. I'm glad that I continued believing that we'll meet again."

Eirin seems to want to say more but she seems to be hesitating. Kaguya notices this and as if she read her mind.

"There's more you want to tell, right? And it is about her."

Eirin just nods to her and Kaguya asks her to spill it, to which she oblige.

"This was mentioned to me a while back by the Watatsuki sisters. They are quite eager to share all of their experiences to me. One of them is an encounter they very much explained to me in detail. Especially, the younger one. I could sense her irritation and agitation as she recounted that event and I'm sure that the person she is talking about is none other than our friend who helped us."

Hearing this Kaguya calmly replied. "So you mean to say that she's on the moon at that time?"

"Yes, and is seen working with that gap yokai. If I were to connect it back then. She must have done something to enlist her help. Let alone from what we saw today, made sure to indebted her. That yokai is very cunning indeed. She was there, I'm sure of it." Eirin said as she made a deduction.

"That's not all what you want to say, right?" Kaguya said with a worried tone as she's starting to get the picture.

"Mmh, I can see Toyohime just shrugging it off but for Yorihime who was humiliated when they fought. Once, she heard of the news then I can assure that she'll be the first one to arrive here just to get even." Her expression changed to a serious one as a strong wind blows through them.

"...ah, it is her after all. She must have exploited a weakness or something. Knowing her, she does not try to reveal everything on her hands right away." Kaguya said seemingly taking a side.

"And that is exactly what happened. I doubt the same trick would work. Remember those people who went to the moon that Yorihime easily defeated? See how she does not waste a single time to take care of them. She's not the same one that Rain once fought. Certainly that duel opened up her eyes to become more stronger. If they were to crosspaths now, I doubt it would end well." Eirin's words are like that of a warning and a foreshadowing of a possible event that could cause a great trouble for both sides.

"Just like us who keeps a secret. I know for sure that she's a good person. I believe that she'll get through this. She's a stubborn person that can almost survive anything. I'm sure she'll think of it as just another day of annoyance especially if it is a Lunarian with that attitude. Kaguya smiled, this time taking her first friend's side with confidence.

"Speaking like a true Earth dweller, princess." Eirin too gave a soft smile. If it weren't for Rain then her hands would have been the one that was stained. She'll do anything to atone for the things that have happened to Kaguya. Hence, why she is here with the former princess of the moon. That is why she is thankful that person was there at that time. She could only hope that her predictions are wrong.
