*glug* *glug* *glug* “aahhhh…”
The taste of this sake is always better than before…
I wiped off the remaining liquid of my mouth, and put down my glass of sake and stood up. I had the feeling that I would soon black out.
I looked around one last time. A lot of youkai that once were our enemies, now partying under the trees with thousands of sakura falling to the ground.
I saw Reimu, drunk already, not worrying that she would sweep every petal for it is the responsibility of a Shrine Maiden to keep her Shrine tidy.
The Prismriver Sisters Ensemble, Lunasa the violinist, Merlin the trumpeter and Lyrica the pianist were enjoying their live performance to everyone.
The two Goddesses of the Moriya Shrine are also here, Kanako and Suwako, and their Shrine Maiden Sanae is already walking towards Reimu with her shrine’s own sake.
“I still can’t get used to this feeling…” I said right after a hiccup.
“What do you mean by *that* feeling, Marisa?”
I saw a familiar blond girl when I turned my head around, and it seemed that she is not drunk yet.
“This *hiccup* strange feeling I only feel when celebrating Flower-Viewing after an incident…”, I answered. “I mean, in every incident that is solved here in Gensokyo, there is always a flower-viewing like this, right, Alice?”
The puppeteer nodded. She raised her hands, and saw that she was controlling her dolls from afar.
I looked at the direction of the strings that were connected to her hands, and saw her small dolls fighting an equally small ice fairy.
“You’ll get used to this soon, Marisa,” Alice said in a bored expression.
“Well, you won’t get used to these *hiccup* flower-viewings either, Alice,” I replied.
Alice faced up the sky, and soon closed her eyes.
“What do you mean by that? I am already used to these occasi—glub!”
I plugged a saucer over her mouth while she was talking. Her eyes were closed so I took this chance.
“You won’t get used to these feeling if you don’t get drunk!,” I chuckled as Alice tried to swallow the sake that I put in her mouth. “Flower-Viewing is *hiccup* not flower-viewing without getting drunk!”
“Why you little human witch…”
Alice stood up and called her dolls back. I saw her face getting bright red slowly, means she must be getting drunk a little.
Cirno also came to my aid.
In the count of three, the two sides of the Spellcard battle pounced at each other.
