The Beauty Within | Soul of Yokai Prelude

Question, How Many Fangirls Can One Man Have?

Nami was strolling through the Tengu Village, happily talking to the other Tengu and asking them questions of their lifestyles; their ways of eating, social norms and values, jobs, fashion, and whatnot.

Eventually, Nami soon saw a giant crowd of women surrounding Sakuya. Although most of the women seen were Tengu, there still were some that were other Yokai. 

"Sakuya! You're so handsome and cool!" One of the fangirls squeaked.

"Sakuya! I got you these flowers!" A fangirl was holding out some flowers that Nami didn't recognise, along with a piece of folded paper, "It comes with a letter, too!"

"Oh. Thanks." Sakuya soon the flowers in his arms with a strained smile.

Sakuya soon spotted Nami looking at the scene with raised eyebrows.

"Girls, it's been a real fun time with you but it's best I get going to—" Sakuya tried to move away from the girls.

"Wait! Don't go!" One of them pulled on Sakuya's ponytail.

"Hey!" Sakuya tugged on his ponytail, "Let go!"

"Come on! You never pay any attention to us!" Another fangirl whined, "Why can't you just stay with us?"

Nami soon walked toward Sakuya and his fangirls.

"Girls, girls. I'd appreciate it if I would be able to have Sakuya." Nami stated.

"Stay away from him! He's not yours!" A fangirl possessively snapped.

Sakuya glowered at the fangirl who stated that while Nami did a light giggle.

"I think you've misunderstood my intentions." Nami remarked.

"Then what do you want?!" Another fangirl snarled.

"There's a family meeting he has to attend to. Karasu's already there and he sent me to fetch Sakuya." Nami looked toward him, "Right?"

"Oh, yes! I'm so forgetful!" Sakuya replied, "I really have to get going!"

"Aww, you aren't forgetful." A fangirl reassured.

"But please, come back to us when you're done!" Another fangirl commented.

"Yeah, sure, whatever." Sakuya said.

"Come on, Sakuya. Let's get going to the Yukionna estate." Nami called out.

"Right. Of course." Sakuya walked over to Nami and handed her the flowers and note, "Could you hold this?"

"Sure, no problem."

Sakuya soon carried Nami bridal style and launched her and himself into the air.

"Thank you, Nami! I could just kiss you!" Sakuya exclaimed.

"What for? I was being serious." Nami responded.

Sakuya's eyes soon widened, "What?"

"I'm just teasing you!" Nami chuckled.

Sakuya sighed in relief and exasperation, "Geez, don't just say things like that."

"C'mon, it was cute!" Nami grinned, "Anyway, what's up with those girls? I didn't know you were such a lady killer."

"Ugh... Please don't mention it." Sakuya groaned, "They follow me around like baby ducks and squeal whenever I do something, it's so annoying."

"Then why do you talk to them?" Nami asked.

"There's not much choice in the matter." Sakuya answered, "Even if I did ignore them, they'd still act the same. Well, kind of. I'd get backlash from them which would lead to other issues. So I just beguile them enough to give them what they want but not enough that I'm devoting too much time to them. It's just how this works. Go ask Yukio, even he knows."
