"Intruder! Intruder! Intruder!"

Oh shit. If he doesn't do something quickly, this could turn ugly. After taking a moment to focus, he speaks to the tiny girl as calmly as he can.

"Intruder?" says Grimnír. "I think you're mistaken, little one."

"Eh?" mutters the horned girl. "Don't lie to me now! I jush hate liars!"

"I'm not lying!" he says. "I brought a couple of my friends here, two of whom were hurt, one quite badly. I have every legitimate reason to be here."

The tiny girl frowns at him in disbelief. She doesn't let go of his robe.

"Then there is more than one intruder!" she cries out.

"Wa-wait! Just hear me out! Eientei is a clinic right? Strangers who need medical attention visit this place all the time. Even if we don't live here, we do have legitimate business. So we aren't intruders."

"... legitimate?" says the tiny girl slowly.

She pauses to think hard about his words. He considers using this as a chance to escape, but decides against it. This time, he really doesn't have anything to hide, so he needs to end this misunderstanding immediately.

"Ah! I got it!" cries the horned girl.

Grimnír sighs in relief, thinking that his troubles are over. But before he can relax, the tiny girl stretches her arm and points at him knowingly.

"You... are the criminal!" she cries aloud.

"Wait... wha -"

Suddenly, he feels himself flying through the air. In the next moment, he crashes through the living room door and lands painfully on the floor, face-first. He lies still for a minute, waiting for the pain and shock to subside. Then, feeling that none of his bones are broken, he slowly gets up.

"Oh no! A-are you alright?"

"... noisy."

"Ah, so it was you after all. Nice of you to drop in~"

"W-w-wa happen? Who dun what?"

Grimnír takes a moment to look around. Rushing toward him from the other side of the room is Reisen. She looks really worried as she helps him up. To the right, he can see Patchouli observing him quietly from her seat. The magician gives him a tiny nod before turning back to her book. Sitting across from her is a person who could only be Yukari (normal-sized, he notes). The gap youkai gives him a cheerful and knowing smile as his eyes widen in surprise. Then, all the way in the back, is a larger version of the tiny girl he met outside. The horned girl sways back and forth, as if trying to reorient herself to her surroundings.

"Criminal!" cries someone from behind. "You are the criminal!"

He jumps in surprise as the tiny girl runs straight past him toward the larger version. It jumps up and down angrily in front of the large one, shouting "Criminal!" again and again. The larger one only looks at the tiny one with a glazed look. Then, she smiles.

"Ah~ Reimu~" she says sleepily.

Suddenly, she falls forward and grabs the tiny girl into her arms. The little one tries to struggle, but the large version just closes her eyes and hugs her even tighter.

"Are you sure that you are alright?" says Reisen. "Do you want to go to the clinic?"

"I'm fine..." he replies. "But what about them?"

He gestures toward the large and small horned girls.

"Don't mind it," says Yukari. "She is just being the usual~"

"Inappropriate... but interesting," comments Patchouli, glancing at their antics every so often.

Grimnír rubs his head as he tries to think.
