[X] Go back with Alice to Eientei

---

"Let's go back," says Grimnír. "It will be good to see Marisa again."

"Great!" cries Alice. "Patchouli, do you mind if we take our leave."

"Don't forget to return the books," replies the pink and purple wizard.

With one last wave, the two of them set off for the exit. The hallways of the mansion are still quite empty when they walk by. And when they leave through the front door, the cluster of fairy maids is quite some distance away. Seems like they finished working on the nearer part of the mansion.

Strangely enough, he doesn't see any sign of Meiling. Even the gate looks abandoned.

"Leaving already?" says someone from behind.

"Ah!" says Alice. "Your name was Grey, was it?"

"I'm pleased that you remembered my name," replies the butler.

"W-well, it's not everyday that I meet someone as... interesting as you."

"You must be lucky then," says Grey, "To have met someone like Mr. Grimnír. I would imagine that the ability to use magic would be very useful here."

"I don't think that I was that lucky," replies Grimnír.

"How so?" asks the butler.

"I seem to attract... trouble," he replies.

"Trouble is nothing special," says Grey, "Especially around Gensokyo. Just be thankful that you haven't ended up dead yet."

The butler then clears his throat.

"I know that I am," whispers Grey.

...

The flight back to Eientei is mostly uneventful. As the afternoon approaches its end, he spots several travellers, human and youkai alike, heading back to their homes. The activity around the Human Village itself is especially noticeable. But he doesn't pay attention to it much.

Alice is strangely silent as they travel. She looks a little distracted, but she looks calm enough, so he decides not to disturb her. Grimnír yawns as they go on. He finds himself starting to daydream as they fly. They should arrive at Eientei soon, assuming they don't bump into trouble.
