[X] Talk to Yukari

---

Grimnír quickly thanks Reisen for her concern. He takes a moment to rub the dust off his robe before facing the others. After giving Patchouli a tiny nod back, he turns toward Yukari. She smiles back at him with the smallest hint of mischief in her eyes.

"So you must be the Grey Wizard," she says. "A pleasure to finally meet you in person~"

"I suppose it was inevitable," he replies. "The youkai master of boundaries seems to be fond of poking into other people's business, after all."

Yukari covers her mouth to hide a chuckle.

"Can't say that I don't enjoy it," she says. "But I find it strange that you would say such a thing."

"Why would it be strange?"

The gap youkai slowly stands up and walks a few steps closer. Then, with a surprisingly refreshing and honest smile upon her face, she says something unusual.

"Because today, you are my business."

"... W-what?"

"I have to thank you for saving me, after all..."

Grimnír feels himself blush at her words. She sounds sincerely happy, and he can't detect any sign that she is lying. But more than that, he can't help but stare at her. The way she is smiling at him right now, the youkai girl looks a little... no, she looks very cute. Definitely.

"Well..." he says as he scratches his head. "If it was just that, don't worry about it. We're friends, right? It was the least I could -"

Suddenly, Yukari steps forward and gently plants a kiss on his cheek. Unsure of how to react, he just stands still, frozen. Then, she moves even closer to whisper something into his ear.

"I missed you too~"

"..."

Then, the gap youkai steps back and returns to her seat, acting as if nothing had happened. A couple of seconds later, Grimnír recovers and clears his throat loudly. He takes a glance at the others, still feeling a bit embarrassed. Patchouli has a neutral expression upon her face, though he finds it strange that she is actually looking straight at him instead of her book. He can't make out her reaction. Reisen, on the other hand, looks nervous as she sways from side to side. She takes passing glances at him and Yukari, but says nothing. As for the two horned girls... they seem to have completely disappeared.

"I thought you came here for this meeting," says Patchouli as she turns back to her book.

"Ah, I guess I came for that too," replies Yukari half-heartedly.

"... hey Reisen," he says. "Where did the horned girls go?"

"Eh? S-sorry! I wasn't really paying attention to Suika..."

Reisen gives him a bow that looked far too formal for just an apology.

"Don't mind that Oni," says Yukari. "She'll show up when she feels like it... like right about now."

Suddenly, someone pulls at his robe from behind. He turns around to see the horned girl from before (the larger one; the tiny version is nowhere in sight). From this close, he can see that she is actually quite short, like a child. In her other hand is a gourd that smells strongly of alcohol. Wait... is this girl even old enough to drink? She grins brightly at him, her cheeks slightly pink.

"You're her friend, right?" she asks.

"Huh?"

"You must be pretty strong, then! Why don't we have a little contest?"

A contest? What is this girl talking about? He turns to the others, half-hoping that someone would explain, but everyone says silent. Yukari smiles far too cheerfully, and he can sense a little malice back there somewhere. Patchouli just continues reading, as is her custom. Reisen, for some reason, looks absolutely terrified and unable to move.

"Er..."
