One day, Reimu and Marisa were taking a stroll through the forest when they came across a peculiar sight. A group of yukkuris were taking turns headbutting something hanging from a tree branch. Upon inspection, it was the grossly disfigured body of a girl. Her stomach was missing and her flesh was still warm. It looked like a brutal murder. Braving the scene, Marisa began to rifle through the girl’s pockets, always on the hunt for precious things. However, instead of any money or jewelry, all she found was a small book.
“A diary? How lame,” lamented the witch, as she tossed it to the ground.
“Hold on, this may give us a clue as to how she died,” said Reimu, opening the book.
“Read it to me, ze! My eyes are still messed up from when I looked into that laser.”
They leaned against a tree upwind from the body. Reimu cracked open the book and began to read as Marisa laid her head in the miko’s lap.
May 1 – Something terrible happened today. I was out playing with my yukkureimu, and while we were wrestling, I accidentally tore her ribbon off. She wouldn’t stop crying, no matter what I did. The other yukkuri gave me strange looks as we walked home. Now my yukkureimu just pouts in a corner.
May 2 – I woke up today to find a group of yukkuri outside my door. I didn’t want them to destroy father’s crops, so I killed them all. My yukkureimu wanted to go near them, but I don’t want her to eat dead things. Afterward, she pouted in a corner for the rest of the day. She still won’t talk to me.
May 3 – Another sizeable group of yukkuri awaited me again this morning. They said I stole Reimu’s ribbon and that I’ll be sorry. Ha, what can they do? I killed them all again. They make great fertilizer.
May 4 – Last night, a large number of yukkuri gathered outside the house. They kept us awake with their cacophony. Father killed them all with the tractor.
May 5 – In the morning, a yukkumarisa burst through the window and landed in my bed. Claiming to be taking revenge for Reimu’s lost ribbon, she tried to bite me. I didn’t want to squash her and ruin my bed, so I went to take her outside. Before I could get up, yukkuri began streaming through the window. They piled on top of my body, smothering me. I couldn’t even move or breathe under the hot, living mass. Suddenly, an earthquake struck. After it was over, they released some kind of sticky liquid all over me. It got in my mouth and nose and tasted awful. My whole body was covered with it. The earthquake had the benefit of scattering them off my body, so while they yelled about how refreshed they were I began to kill them all with a sword I keep in my room. My room was a real mess afterward. I took a bath, but I still can’t get the smell of their excrement off of my skin.
May 8 – The yukkuris came again. This time, they swarmed like locusts and destroyed the family crops. That food was going to be the first big crop of the season, and now we can’t afford to replant. Father was furious. I know this is my fault. My parents shouldn’t be burdened with it. I packed up my things, grabbed my yukkureimu and left in the middle of the night. I’ll live in the mountains for a while until the yukkuri leave me alone. I found a little cave in the forest that’ll be perfect to live in. My yukkureimu still won’t talk to me.
May 9 – I successfully caught a deer to eat. It gave me a small stomachache. Maybe I didn’t cook it thoroughly. My yukkureimu ate a little bit of it. She still won’t talk to me. She doesn’t look so good.
May 10 – I ran into a yukkureimu while gathering berries. I killed it quickly. I hope the others don’t know I’m here. My stomachache lasted all day. I hope these mushrooms are safe to eat.
May 11 – I woke up in the middle of the night to some rustling noise. A yukkumarisa was stealing some of my food. I skewered it and threw it on the fire. It screamed in horror. My yukkureimu tried to take its hat but I don’t want her playing with dead things.
May 12 – My stomachache got worse. I hope that fruit was ripe enough. I killed a small yukkuri family today. I hope they don’t start invading this area, too.
May 13 – I couldn’t sleep a wink. My stomachache is killing me and my stomach is visibly distended. Perhaps I should go home.
May 14 – My yukkureimu died today. I buried her. My stomachache has gotten so bad I need a walking stick now.
May 15 – My stomach has grown so large I can no longer walk. I can only hope I have enough food to last me until someone finds me.
May 16 – My stomach began talking. Or rather, what’s in my stomach began talking. I can hear it say “take it easy” and “let me out, it’s dark in here.” Those bastard heads must’ve impregnated me during that earthquake. Every time it headbutts my uterus it hurts so bad I start convulsing. I think it’s sleeping now. If it grows any larger, it’ll kill me.
May 17 – I was awoken by a yukkumarisa talking to the one in my stomach. “Give birth easy, lady!” it said. If I could get up, I would’ve killed it.
May 18 – I ran out of food. I only have one thing left to do. I gathered up my sword and some rope. Mustering the last of my strength, I dragged myself along the forest floor toward a tall tree. Along the way, yukkuri heckled me. I had to cut that thing out of me. Leaning against the tree, I sliced through my grossly enlarged stomach. The mass of flesh and muscle fell with a plop on the forest floor. I stomped on the small yukkuri that emerged from my body. It had my face and hair, with a Reimu ribbon. I’ve lost too much blood, and I can’t make it to town. I’m going to hang myself now. If you ever find this diary, heed my warning: never take off a yukkuri’s accessory! Only tragedy will befall you!
I love you, mom and dad. I’m sorry.
“Well, that’s all she wrote,” said Reimu. “Ah, Marisa, where did you go?”
“This is so fun, ze!” said the witch, as she flicked off the hats of a group of yukkumarisa. “They get so pissed!”
“Geez, weren’t you listening at all? Oh well, at least I can give that girl a proper burial.”
Turning back toward the corpse, Reimu heard a wet crunching sound. Rumia had already found the body and was feasting on the bone marrow.
“This shit’s good!” said the darkness youkai. She had already eaten the all the yukkuri.
“Oh well. Let’s go home, Marisa.”

86.
It's the morning shift. You could almost believe that the room is in an hospital, as it's certainly clean enough, and the workers are dressed in a way not unlike hospital workers. The conveyor belt speaks otherwise though, and indeed the purpose of this place is quite different. A box of yukkuris has been brought in from the breeding unit, and the workers are busy affixing each yukkuri in a small stainless steel frame or cage, just large enough for the adult yukkuris to be squeezed into. Metal prongs extending inwards ensure that the mouths of the thus immobilized yukkuris are kept wide open, and at the back there are mounting points, with which they are then fixed to the conveyor belt.
Every now and then, the conveyor belt moves, sending a few yukkuris through a heavy, automated door, decorated with a big radiation warning sign. The yukkuris go through a double airlock, and into the main hall of the facility. The air is filled with the hum of machinery, frantic gurgling sounds, and screams of "Yu!" in every nuance from utter terror to deepest despair. Long shelves run along the hall, filled with stations consisting of a metal bar extending out over a large funnel, with a mounting claw to hold a yukkuri cage at it's end turned upwards. A pipe extends downwards towards this, with an propeller-like impeller at the end. Placed above, able to overlook a half-dozen stations each, are slightly larger cages, allowing for some very limited movement. In these we have "companion yukkuris", to keep those stuck in the frames below from being lonely. These are responsible for the cries of "Yu!", as those in the frames cannot make much noise, their mouths permanently stuck at wide open. Robot arms with big, steel syringes stab into these yukkuris every now and then, injecting a mixture of ground up yukkuris or syrup and water to keep them from dying from thirst or hunger.
Automated machinery, box-like robots with a single arm on top driving around on predetermined paths pick up our fresh yukkuris and drive them to the stations where they'll be used. Other robots drive around and remove old, dead or dying yukkuris, making space for the new ones. After a fresh yukkuri has been placed in a station, the pipe from above is lowered into their mouths, and the impeller starts spinning. The pain is most likely quite horrendous, as the blades constantly shred and mix the inside of the yukkuri, but with the mouth thus blocked, the muffled,, gurgling nosies, the tears, and how it's eyes pop wide open, bloodshot, and frantically shaking, are all the clues we will get to it's mental state. Then through the pipe a mixture is slowly injected, made up from corn syrup, ground-up yukkuris, water, and liquefied or powdered nuclear waste. As the impeller spreads this through the yukkuri, the sweets nourish it, the water keeps it from dehydration, and the waste is there for the yukkuris metabolism to process into harmless bean paste. Excess bean paste spills from the yukkuris mouth, into the funnel, from which it is pumped into a new yukkuri, over and over again, until geiger counters shows that all the radioactive materials have been destroyed, at which point it will be used as yukkuri food, either in the main hall, or in the breeding unit.
All of this also means that in addition to the impeller, the yukkuris will have to suffer through radiation poisoning as well, and perhaps normal poisoning too. After 24 hours most are too weak to process any more, the radiation levels in the overflow increase, and a robot comes to remove it, to be replaced by another one. These dead yukkuris will themselves be radioactive waste (though they will have processed far more before they expired), so they are taken to another machine, which removes the metal frame, and dumps the yukkuri into grinder, so that the remains of it can be sent back into the system. The cage is then sent into another room, where another automated machine cleans it extremely carefully, so that it can be re-used. Every now and then, a companion yukkuri will also succumb to mental collapse and the radiation, so these are removed and replaced in much the same manner as well.

It's Anon's vacation, so he decides to take it easy in his garden. There, he finds a family of 10 kids and one mother Yukkureimu. The mother is stuck in a crack in the fence around his vegetable patch, and asks him for help. "Reimu was trying to go inside her new house, but I got stuck!" He says he'll help, if it answers truthfully. He asks whose house this is, and when it answers as expected, he rips some skin off. The kids tell him to go away easy, but then change their mind, as only he can help the mother. The second time, it answers correctly "Dis is mizder's hwome, zo bleaze led me oud!!!" He does, but puts it in a transparent box right away. He said he'd get it out, not that he'd let it go. He tells the kids that he put it there to heal up from its bruises, and they buy it. "Get well easy!" they say, going inside the house. It screams. Anon takes the kids to a room with another Reimu. It can't give birth to normal kids, only defects, so it's given up on "getting refreshed" and having kids. Thus, when it sees these kids, it declares itself their mother. Anon supports that. Kids: "Our mommie is getting well easy outside...but our mommie is here? Huh?" Eventually, Fakemom wins over them.
They get to like that room, especially the seesaw in it. It's like they're flying in the sky. Anon then feeds them, takes the box with Realmom and puts it in the living room, in front of a TV that shows the new family taking it easy. Realmom falls into despair, screaming at the kids that will never hear it. After a week, its face has swollen up with tears and sweat. Anon takes it (still in the box) and puts it in the room with the new family. The kids recognize Realmom, and denounce Fakemom. Fakemom is furious, and starts tackling the box, insisting it's their mom. The kids swat it away, and it lies there, lamenting. Anon then takes the kids and puts them in an extra large seesaw, located in a large fish tank. At first they were asking him to take their mother out, but eventually they give into the temptation of their favorite toy. Anon then starts filling the tank with water, until it reaches the lower part of the seesaw, so that the kids on the bottom will get soaked.
They start getting tired, and ask him to get them out, while gradually grasping the situation. Anon says that there's a way to make both parts of the seesaw stay out of the water, but Realmom has to think of it. The kids are screaming out of fatigue and fear. It can't, and the kids eventually get exhausted and fall into the water, blaming Realmom for being too stupid and not letting them take it easy. Realmom screams. Fakemom jeers, saying "This is what you get for saying I'm not your mom! Repent easy on the other side!" Anon, without a word, lets Realmom out of the box. It faces the yukkuri that's making fun of its dead kids.

Dosumarisa (dosu- is a term for huge yukkuris) is the wise and strong leader of its herd. With its childhod friends Mukyu and Alice, it teaches other yukkuris how to gather food, and to not invade humans' homes. Today, it's begging a human not to kill the family that ate food from his stock, and offers some of the herd's food as compensation. Apparently, it's the fifth time this year; yukkuris don't learn. If it happens again, they won't have enough for the winter. The next day, it hears that it's happened again. Grumbling, it heads towards the village, but gets caught in a trap set by the other yukkuris. They accuse it of taking away theyr food. "If you hadn't done that, we'd be able to take it easy!!!" (This shows exactly how smart yukkuris are.) They then bring its childhood friends in front of it, and get an Alice rapesquad to brutally rape and eat them. Dosumarisa can't believe or understand what's happening, but it's furious like never before. It breaks the trap, and crushes/eats/rips apart the whole herd. It then decides to lead a solitary life, free from stupid yukkuris.

A family of ten babies, six kids and two parents is taking it easy in a field. A Marisa wearing a badge on its hair approaches them and asks to take it easy with them. They accept, and ask about the badge. It says it took it from humans, which makes them admire it. At night, they want to go home, and invite Badgerisa with them. In return, it leads them to another place, which contains a lot of food. They enjoy it a lot, but then a group of six Alices comes in, and starts assaulting everything in sight. Fatherisa starts enjoying it a lot, as opposed to the babies that are getting crushed and dehydrated. Motherisa gets away, and Badgerisa lures one of the Alices to a cliff with promises of getting refreshed, steals its hairpiece, and pushes it off. It then takes three of the kids, and takes them, along with Motherisa, to a safe cave. The next day, it goes back to the nest, where Fatherisa and the Alices are sleeping. (No kids or babies are left.)
The Alice it pushed off the cliff yesterday comes in, and as soon as the rest of the Alices see it, they attack it. (It has no accessory.) After they're done, Badgerisa takes some of its paste, lures another Alice into another room, and spits the paste on it. The other Alices think it killed one of their own, and kill it (the Alice). Badgerisa has no further plans, but then a pair of seemingly intelligent yukkuris comes in; a Flandre and a Yukarin. The Flandre kills the Alices and Fatherisa, and the Yukarin talks to Badgerisa. "You've always been smarter than other yukkuris, right? I live in a research facility on that mountain over there. You're welcome to come and live there." They leave, and Badgerisa thinks.

A Remirya has found a family of yukkuris, and is quite happy. However, before it can eat them, it's captured by the Flandre/Yukarin pair from the previous story. They take it to the research facility (where Bagderisa ended up living), where the boss puts it on a bed-like instrument, which stretches its limbs. He then feeds it with a tube until it's ready to burst, and leaves it for the night. The next day, he teaches it pronunciation, with pudding as the reward for correct words. Until it manages to say "Sakuya" correctly (Shakuya, Zaguya), he takes one of the three cups as punishment. He then tells it to say "pudding", but it keeps saying "purin" and "puddin'" so he decides not to feed it today. He leaves the Flandre/Yukarin pair to teach it some words, and goes to sleep. The next day, it manages to speak correctly. He takes it out to the cafeteria, and offers it a plate of food. It tries to throw the vegetables away, but he stabs a fork into its hand, and forces it to eat it all.
He then gives it pudding, and locks it in the room again. It keeps bashing the door with its squishy hands for a few hours ("I wanna ged oud!!! Uuu!") but eventually gives up and cries itself to sleep. After a few weeks, its training is coming to an end, and the boss tells Flandre that it's time for the test. Flandre grumbles, but goes to the Remirya's room and rapes it. For a few days, the boss only makes it perform mental tasks such as studying. When the baby is born, we learn that Remiryas forget everything they were taught when they give birth. The boss offers it a cart with food, and a smaller one with pudding. "Zduuupid!!! Remirya'z gonna ead the puddin'!!!" It tries to, but the cart falls over (it had wheels). The boss then shows it that the cart crushed its baby. "It died because you were stupid." "Babyyyyyy!!! Babyyyyyy!!! My babyyyyyyyy!!!" The then says that if Remirya gets smart, the baby might come back, and leaves it alone. Filled with regret, Remirya understands what it did, and promises it'll get smarter. The baby then regenerates. Remirya is ecstatic, and promises it'll get smart so it can protect its only baby.
The next day, it resumes it flight practice with Flandre. After a few days, they get called to the village. A pair of huge Alices are harassing the villagers, and they're going to kill one while the Remirya/Flandre pair eliminates the other one along with the small ones. The other one never comes to the village, so it's probably pregnant. The boss gives them a capsule with sulfuric acid, and sends them on their way. They encounter the huge Alice, and Remirya goes on ahead. The huge one knocks it around, and it screams, but it eventually stops and asks the Dosualice, with a keikaku doori smile: "Do you know what a hawk is?" It turns out Flandre had flown as high as it could, and performed a dive attack *into* the Dosualice at full speed. Once inside, it starts spinning with its wings spread, mixing the Dosualice's insides. It then gets out, and tells Remirya to get in and eat. It does, and is thrilled by the taste of the babies. In the meantime, Flandre has given itself to bloodlust and is impaling yukkuris with branches on which other koyukkuris are impaled. It's having fun.
They then burn the remaining filling of the Dosualice with the acid, and take the skin back to the village. They all go home. A week later, it's time for Remirya's real mission. Sakuya comes to the market, leaving its Remirya to prowl on the merchants once again. In a flash, Flandre impales it through its back and grabs its jaw...from behind, and takes it to the facility, while Remirya (smart) assumes its place. When Sakuya comes back, "Ojousama, have you grown bigger?" "I, uh...Rebirya's grown bigger~!!!" Its job is to impersonate that Remirya for a while. Meanwhile, the boss is talking with the Remirya's kid.
-Now, let's hope it comes back.
-What are you talking about? Of course Mama will come back.
-What makes you say that?
-Don't you know, Professor?

Anon is sneaking, MGS-style, around a cave inhabited by hundreds of giant and small yukkuris. He finds the nursery room, but there are three huge yukkuris inside, admiring the babies. he distracts them with a half-dead Reimu, and shoots them. He then starts killing the other babies. There's hundreds of them, and they all gather in a corner, shivering. After killing half of them, he hears the leader Marisa coming with its three special guards/friends. He plants some explosive and causes a cave-in, killing all the babies and the three guards. Boossrisa swears revenge. The next day, about two hundred huge yukkuris and even more regular ones set off to attack the village, oblivious to the fact that they're getting picked off by cannons. When they reach the village, they're greeted by machine guns and tanks, which decimate them.
They retreat, and start throwing rocks with their mouths. They manage to break the machine gun on one of the tanks, but the rest keep aninhilating them, with the shells going through the huge ones and blowing up the small ones behind. Bossrisa doesn't really get what's going on, and when it decides to charge, it's shocked by the mountains of bean paste and skin. Nevertheless, it orders the survivors to commence one more rock-throwing attack. They're all shot by the tanks. With no chance of victory, Bossrisa runs away, ignoring its friends getting blown up one after another right beside it. Eventually, it gets away, and it's implied that the reason it was allowed to was that it was created by the factory.

Day 365
"It's been one year since they appeared. I've gone everywhere, looked everywhere, tried everything, but it seems that it's finally happened.
I'm the only one left.
I still don't know what they are. They just came, and began to.... replace? Transform? I don't even know what they did- it always happened out of my sight, except for that one time... All I do know is that those things just spread, attracted to the people they resembled, and then, unnoticed by anyone but me, the people I knew... were pushed aside.
All I have left is this journal, and my experiments. Maybe I can find a way to reverse whatever happened.
Take transmutation magic. It can change forms, so I'm assuming it was used to cause this. Easy to disspell, under ordinary circumstances.
Maybe I'm going about it the wrong way. I should rest a bit, clear my head. It's so hard to think. Take a break.
Yeah, I'll just take it easy for a day.
Take it easy.
Take it easy.Take it easy.Take it easy.Take it easy.Take it easy.Take it easyTake it easyTake it easyTake it easyTake it easyTakeiteasyTakeiteasytakeiteasy"

The Dosumarisa, leader of its herd, has seen that they're short on food, and won't be able to survive the winter. So, it sends emissaries to the village, to ask if they can work for the humans in exchange for food. They accept. Dosumarisa polishes its hat, takes all the yukkuris that can work, goes to the village square, and proudly announces "WILL WORK 4 FUD". They humans and Koakuma greet them. "Ok, lol, why don't your friends get on that cart, and we'll take you to the place we have in mind." After all the small ones get in, with only the Dosumarisa left outside, they reveal that they're going to sell them to the factory, (insert screams of horror here) with the exception of the Dosumarisa, which is for Koakuma's provate bullying use. She blasts a hole in its chin, puts her hand inside, and fires some danmaku inside its body. She then takes off the ribbons it was wearing (remember, more precious than its life) and sets them on fire. Enraged, it tries to counterattack, but she levitates it and pummels it with more danmaku. Its last words are "Bud Mwariza hazn'd done anythin bad!!!" "Oh, but you have. Your existence itself is bad."
So yeah, it's established that Koakuma hates yukkuris.

This story has a Fatherisa as the protagonist. It tells us that it regrets having looked away from its family, and having told them a small lie. This Fatherisa was very good at finding food, and its kids thought it could do anything. It really loved them, but it loved its wife Mothereimu more. One day, it boasted to them that it can even beat two Remiryas together. This is the little lie. One day, it goes out to get food, catching several bugs, but sees three Remiryas on the way home. It stays back so they don't spot it, but eventually thinks "wait if they're taking this path it means oh no OH NO THIS IS THE WAY HOME" It chooses to wait, and formulate a strategy; if it rushed them it'd get killed. After half an hour, it arrives at its nest, and sees the Remiryas stretching open one of its kids' mouth. Mothereimu asks "Why aa you doin jis!!?" "Begauze we herrd that if we bully you, you ged taztier!!! So we gon' bully you!!!" They're all shocked, as they didn't know that. The Remiryas start stretching another kid's mouth, and Mothereimu exclaims that it'll do anything as long as they stop. "Anythiiiiing?" They then cram the kid in its mouth.
"We gon' play punchity-punch!!! If the kid'z alive when we finish, you win!!! Bud if the kid diez, we win!!!" They start punching it, making them both suffer. Eventually, the mother spits out the child, and the Remiryas get angry. They proceed to stuff three more children in its mouth, and resume their game. The kids get their paste squeezed out. At that point, Fatherisa decides to act, but the kids see it, thus destroying its chances of a sneak attack. Two of the Remiryas go after it, ending up near a cliff. It opens its mouth to beg for its life, but it ends up spitting out two of the caterpillars it had in its mouth, which end up in one of the Remiryas' eyes. It starts screaming, and ends up falling off the cliff, having forgotten it can fly, taking the other one with it. Fatherisa then rushes back to the cave, where not a single child has survived. It is, however, overjoyed to see its wife alive. It expects praise, but Mothereimu is pissed. "I don't have any kids now!!! You could have sacrificed yourself to save them!!!" But I love you, not these stupid kids... "I hate you!!! Go away!!!" After the final burst of anger, Marisa refuses to believe that Mothereimu is its wife, as it would never say that. It then proceeds to stomp its wounded wife's bean paste out. Then the third Remirya appears.
95.
A Yukkurisa is running away from a Remirya. It has just eaten its friends, and it's the last one. The Remirya is steadily closing in, but eventually, they both trip over a tree root. The Marisa smashes its face against the trunk, but the Remirya falls hard and breaks al four of its limbs. Marisa seizes the chance, and stomps the Remirya to death while screaming about revenge for its friends. After it's done, its celebration is cut short by the fact that its hat is tattered, and no longer fit to wear. It falls into despair, until it notices that the Remirya's hat is intact. It puts it on, and heads home to brag to its family. On the way, it meets an Alice that's usually stalking it. Today, however, the Alice says "Take it easy there, okay!!? Don't come here, okay!!?" Perplexed, it goes home, where its family shows the same reaction, and flees the scene. Confused and ready to cry, it chooses to stay in the nest, waiting for its family to return. It eats some food, and cries itself to sleep. The next morning, it hears the voice of its mother. It goes out to check, but it sees that the rest of the herd is with it. All of them, more than a hundred, gang up on the evil Remirya that invaded their nests, with the mother dealing the final blow. After they're done, the mother wonders why its eldest kid hasn't returned yet. Suddenly, upon staring at the corpse they just smashed, it wonders. Do Remiryas have bean paste inside? Do Remiryas have blond hair? It then sees the ribbon it had once given its child, and understands the horrible truth. The other kids ask it what's wrong, but instead of crying and screaming, it has chosen another option: to shut its brain down, permanently.
96. "Mwommy Eirin! Mwommy Eirin!"
A family of yukkuris bounced around wildly as she entered. A bag of food in hand, a warm smile on her face. They had been living there for weeks now, so they all considered her as their mommy, despite their biological mother being in the room as well.
"Hello, Reimu! I see you're taking care of your babies. Do you want some more food?"
As if that needed to be asked, "Yugu! Put it down easy!"
Still beaming a smile, Eirin poured out a bag of yukkuri food into a large bowl in the corner. There was enough room for the small family to all assemble around the bowl, but they spared no time in claiming their place. A quick headcount(rimshot king) revealed the family was growing very quickly- three more than last week. Several of the young yukkureimus had already grown ribbons, signifying adulthood.
Eirin silently grabbed one of the new teenagers and left the room, closing the door behind her. The creature still had some crumbs around it's mouth, and seemed somewhat stunned that it was being kidnapped in the middle of eating. Eirin covered it's eyes as she whisked it past the numerous glass terrariums and observation windows that filled her laboratory.
"Wow! It got dark all of a sudden! Where are you, mommy Eirin?"
"I'm here, little one." She was in no real hurry to get to the end of the hallway, but a panicking yukkuri was harder to work with. "Stay calm for me, okay?"
There at last. The door was already open, she had just left to get a subject. The room was well-lit, but there was not much to see. In the middle of the room was a square metal table, with a small trolley full of tools and a foreign black box sitting on the edge.
"Sit here and try not to move, okay?" She had set it down on the table, "This might hurt a bit, but stay with me."
"Mommy Eirin, what are you doing? What do you mean it will hurt? I want to take it easy!" It wanted to protest, but it was obedient to Eirin and didn't move.
She had already rigged up the black box with a pair of strange two-sided cables with clamps on each end. A "car battery" and "jumper cables" as Rinnosuke had said, and it was within his ability to tell what they were for;
Electricity.
"Mommy, those look sharp. What are you doing with them? I want to t-UuuUUUUuuuUuuUUUU!"
Eirin already had her notepad out and was scribbling like mad. Yukkureimu had gone completely rigid. Tiny bolts of electricity wove around the clamps and arced to the table. After twelve seconds, the interesting parts started. Yukkureimu seemed to be slowly melting.
Another five seconds, yukkureimu stopped trying to scream. Another three, her eyes melted. Another two, her hair was gone. Faster than it started, everything stopped. Eirin carefully leaned in to examine what she presumed to be a body.
It certainly seemed dead. The accessories were more or less intact, unlike melting in water. The only thing that indicated it was alive was a low vibration, almost a ripple across it's now fluid body. Eirin quietly pulled off of the jumper cables and poked it with a scalpel. Much to her surprise, the scalpel was sucked out of her hand!
It began to slowly pull itself back together and reform. The skin began to turn transparent, the bean paste within it was gone but the scalpel was stuck within it, suspended in some gel. The accessories were likewise sucked into the center. The creature, when it began to calm down, was no larger than a computer monitor. It spent the next few days in a glass box, under observation. Eirin recorded her findings, few as they were, before dumping the horror into the sewers like she did with all of the experiments in the end.
She didn't know what horror she had unleashed upon the underdark. She didn't think it would reproduce or grow. It took hundreds of years for that one experiment to produce enough offspring and cause enough trouble to gain a name.
The gelatinous cube.

Anon really hates Remiryas, and wants to bul-uh, study them. For this reason, he hangs out around the SDM. One day, he finds a family of them. Without hesitation, he grabs the mother's hat and parasol, and runs towards his house. Upon getting there, he throws the hat into a gutter. The Remirya jumps in and puts it on, and Anon slaps it in the butt to make it fall in. It starts complaining that its elegant clothes are dirty. He tells it to clean the gutter. When it refuses, he impales one of the kids on its parasol. He then smacks the Remirya around the head with a shovel. It eventually gives up, and starts shoveling the contents into a bucket. It gets tired quickly, but after Anon tears the limbs off one of the kids and smacks the mother with the shovel, it desperately continues working. After it's done cleaning the 100 meter long gutter, Anon says that he has one last job for it. He tears the kids apart and throws them into the gutter, and tells Remirya to shovel them into the bucket. He smacks it around with the shovel until it does so. After it's done, he gives it some kerosene to pour into the bucket, and then gives it a match. It screams when it realizes what it's done. "Ij hod!!! Yelb us!!!" He then gives it some pudding.
"Yaaay, pudding!!!"
"What about your babies!"
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
"Look, pudding."
"Yaaaay!!!"
After a while, he lets it return to the SDM, where Sakuya sees its shit-covered clothes and the Koremirya hat on the tip of its parasol.
"Ozeu-sama, those clothes..."
"Zdubid Zaguya!!! Deze are Rebirya-ozeusama'z elegand glothes!!!"
"And your parasol?"
"Rebirya'z barazol is zdrong!!! Id hurds when I hid you!!!"
"And your children?"
"Dey were dazdy!!! I was dired vrom walking, zo I ade a lod!!!"
Sakuya is shocked, Anon takes notes.

In the Hakurei shrine, Reimu, Marisa and Alice (human) and Reimu and Alice (yukkuri) are watching over their friend Yukkurisa, who inecplicably grew tendrils and fainted. When it wakes up, it smiles faintly at everyone, but screams and faints again when it sees the Alice. It turns out that it had been gangraped by a bunch of Alices. Normally, it would have died, but it was very robust due to its training with Marisa. Here, we're given a distinction; there are good and bad yukkuris of every kind. Good Alices are haughty but intelligent and loyal, whereas bad Alices form rape troupes. That night, yukkuri Alice asks Alice for permission to go out. It obviously wants revenge against the Alices that raped its friend. Alice offers to go with it, but it refuses. It goes to where Yukkurisa was raped, and finds the same Alices gangraping a Reimu. It's almost dried up, and the Alices have raped and squashed the newborns as well. Our Alice then approaches them, and rapes one of them until it splits open. Two more try to rape it, but it vibrates so hard that it splits them open as well. Soon, most of them were either dead or almost. It then goes back to Alice's home, where Alice had stayed up all night. It didn't want her to come along because yukkuri affairs should be solved between yukkuris, and because it didn't want her to see its ugly past. It was also a "bad Alice" in the past. Alices vibrate much faster than other yukkuris, and for that reason, their partner during mating often dies. When our Alice tried to mate with a yukkuri it loved, it ended up crushing it. After that, Alice ended up hating and cursing everything. The ones who saved it were Alice, who took it home, and Yukkureimu and Yukkurisa who became its friends. For those friends, it was willing to use that hated ability. Half a year later, this Alice had built a mausoleum from rocks, using the filling of bad yukkuris as mortar. That mausoleum became known as a paradise for good yukkuris.

For the last month, Cirno has been playing with a family of yukkuris. She brings them food, and they sing together.
Yukkuris, shorter than the roots!
The big one is the mother!
The small ones are the kids!
They always take it easy!
This time, however, when she leaves them at night, a group of men nearby start discussing about how much yukkuris can be sold for. The next day, Cirno couldn't find the yukkuris, no matter how much she searched. She went fishing and caught a lot of fish. She went to the marketplace and bought a lot of vegetables. She also bought some manjuu that looked just like the family. She thought they'd be overjoyed when they saw them. When she got there, she could only hear a faint voice. It was coming from her pocket. She took one of the manjuus out and placed it near her ear.
Yu.....sho......oots
Th.....ne....ther
...sm....ar....ds
...way....ke.....sy
And then the singing stopped.

-A Cirno was hopping on an icy lake, shouting "8! 8! 8!". A Yukkurisa that was passing by asked it what it was doing. "It's really fun!!!" "Really!!? Then Marisa will do it too!!!" Boing, boing. "Eight, cold, slippery, falling, help m-" Splash. The Cirno keeps bouncing, only now it's shouting "9! 9! 9!"
A family of Yukkurisas is eating.
-Mommy, mommy, I don't like locusts!!!
-Stop being fussy and eat your food!!!
-Mommy, mommy, I don't like big sis!!!
-Stop being fussy and eat your food!!!

A Remirya exits its nest insearch of food. It reaches a village, and sees a Mukyu in a garden. It flies toward it, but ends up impaling itself on a bamboo spear Anon, the owner, was holding. He then says he'll leave it there for the night as punishment, although there are Flandres in the area. It screams louder than before, and Anon says he'll let it go if it helps him with his work. He'll also let it stay there, and feed it. It immediately agrees. A while later, a bunch of Remiryas are in the SDM, doing their retarded dance. Sakuya brings them pudding and leaves. They devour it, throw the bowls away and start dancing again. However, one Remirya is eating something and exclaims "This is better than Sakuya's pudding!!!" The others are excited, and it offers to guide them to where it got this food. That place is, of course, the factory, where they're all "processed" (except the one that led them there). In another place, a single Patchouli is living in a cave. A group of Marisas comes in and claims the cave is now theirs. Patchouli just walks (?) out. They try to eat the food it had gathered, but it all turns out to be fake. Patchouli comes back and says "Take it easy, Marisa who can't tell between real and fake food!!!". The Marisas are pissed, and try to attack it, but they're caught in a net set by Anon. He takes them to the factory, and sells them. (He also takes the money for the Remiryas he sent there.) Upon returning home, he's greeted by a pair of Patchouli and Remirya, both of which have done their jobs. He says that today, they'll eat their favorite food, as much as they want. They both exclaim "Pudding!!!".

Little Reimu had always desired a younger sister
Her poor frail mother could only endure growing a single koyukkuri stalk.
Little Reimu has always been alone. She oh so desired a little sister to share her love and company with.
Days often passed where little Reimu glanced enviously at other yukkuri families and their many cute little yukkuris.
It is not surprising that when Little Reimu saw another stalk growing out of her mother, her heart was filled with joy.
With this, I finally have my own sister, Little Reimu thought to herself.
I will enjoy many cute moments with her.
We will take it easy together.
Little Reimu called out to her stem sister everyday. She so desired the loving touch of her little sister.
However... it was a short lived sweet dream.
Fate had it that her frail mother would experience a sudden deterioration in her health one day.
Things reached the inevitable conclusion and so, without any kind of preparation to care for her, lil' sis Reimu fell into this world prematurely...
lil' sis Reimu crashed into the soil. Her skin was loose, and her movements without any real merit. lil' sis Reimu could not walk. She could only shake around, endlessly wobbling around in one place.
Furthermore, what met the eyes of Little Reimu wasn't a curious googly eyed glance from her newborn little sister. What met her was an empty and hollow stare, glancing endlessly towards the sky.
Furthermore, what came out of lil' sis' mouth wasn't a spoiled tone of a yukkuri demanding to take it easy. What Little Reimu heard was something that couldn't have been anything other than a broken cry of an animal.
What Little Reimu expected in her dreams violently crashed with this terrifying image.
Little Reimu slowly came to a painful understanding.
This child sister of hers.. can never take it easy.
Little Reimu also came into a realization that things would change for her too.
Day after day, Little Reimu fed her sister mouth to mouth
Day after day, Little Reimu had to bear the constantly broken record wailing of her little sister
Day after day, and even now... Little Reimu still cries silently.
The End.

Anon has trained a Reimu-Marisa pair, and keeps them at home. One day, he finds an Alice stuck in a box on the side of the road, with a sign on the box saying "please take care of me". It says that if he lets it out, she'll allow him to take it easy. He decides to experiment with it. He takes it to the Eientei to get Eirin to neuter it (a process involving plunging her fingers into its cheeks and putting some sort of cream in the wounds). He then takes it home, and the Reimu-Marisa pair are horrified. (Normally, when Alices rape another yukkuri, they do so until it rots away. Also, the misconception that yukkuris raped by Alices only give birth to Koalices is due to the fact that Alices eat/rape/both any non-Alice babies.)To show them that it's harmless, Anon lets it rape the Reimu. In the end, they both get refreshed, even though Reimu was horrified at first. Alice is quite perplexed; why are my babies not getting born? (It wanted to rape them.) Long story short, over the course of two weeks, it starts enjoying "refreshing" less and less, and becomes obsessed with making babies.
Needless to say, its continuous failures, despite getting refreshed all day, even in threesomes, are making a mess of its psychology. In the end, it can't even get refreshed, and spends the latter week unable to do either. It eventually snaps, and starts raging around, spouting unintelligible words. The other two yukkuris, who now consider it a tool for refreshing, decide to do something new, and rape it. (Until now, Alice was always on top.) In the end, Alice actually gets refreshed, and sprouts a twig. (It can't make other yukkuris pregnant, but it can get pregnant itself.) It immediately destroys the twig, and drops into a catatonic state. Anon keeps it alive by stuffing grass into its mouth.
For the curious, this is what yukkuri sex sounds like:
"haa haa...I'm gonna get refreshed...I'm getting refreshed...NHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...Refreshed~"

Marisa has just finished gathering mushrooms from the FoM, and chances upon a Yukkureimu with four kids. A perfect opportunity to test these mushrooms. She invites them home, and feeds them the mushrooms. She leaves them in the room, and goes back to check on them an hour later. They are obviously unable to take it easy. Marisa begins taking notes of which ate which mushroom, and what the effects are. One of them is paralyzed, another is blinded, another is having a weird hallucination involving an Alice and "I don't need any more babies!!!", and the fourth has fallen into a vegetative state. The mother states that they can't take it easy like this, and Marisa tells it to take its kids into its mouth and go home. It does.
-I han'h hahe ih eahy lihe his!!!
-Then why don' you try jumping?
-Ohay, yhu--------KU!!?
-What?
-...Miss, did you know that this would happen?
-What?
-My babies...in my mouth...crushed...ALL OF THEM!!!
Marisa only said that the mother would take it easy.

Anon is returning home from work, dressed in a factory worker's coat so that yukkuris stay away from him. One Yukkureimu, however, bumps into him and screams some unintelligible things about him taking it in exchange for its children. He takes it home, and it eventually explains that its children can't take it easy, so it was planning to give itself to a factory worker in exchange for help from them. Anon is not from the factory, but he's touched, so they go to their nest to see what's wrong. He finds that the koyukkuris are abnormally warm, and recalls that Eirin had said that yukkuri illnesses exist as well, and the yukkurienza is a particularily dangerous one. He takes them all home, and tells the mother to gather a lot of food for them. (Until now, they mostly threw it up.) Anon notes that the eldest sister isn't too badly affected, and it turns out that it had been through the disease when it was young. Anon tells the mother that inside the eldest, there's a medicine that can cure the others. The mother protests, but the eldest offers itself for its siblings. Anon scoops out some of its bean paste (it somehow tolerates the pain), and feeds it to the others. After a few days of repeating this, one of the koyukkuris is finally able to take it easy. The mother and the eldest are ecstatic. They keep up the treatment until all of them are okay. After this, however, the mother succumbs. The children are saddened, but afterwards, some decide to leave on their own, and some decide to stay with Anon, including the eldest, which says "If any other yukkuris get sick, use my bean paste to help them." Anon is now selling medicine for yukkurienza.

A family of Alices, a parent and 8 kids, invades a femanon's house. She catches them all, ignoring the insults of "country bumpkin", and says that she'll release them if they can pass a test. She puts an candle in the mouth of one of the kids, and lights it. It claims that since it's from a city sect, such a test is easy, but when the first drop of hot wax hits it, it drops the candle, screaming in pain. The mother then accuses it of not being from a city sect, and a disgrace to its family, and squashes it. This goes on with four more kids, at which point Femanon suggests that since the mother is the most city sect of them all, it should be able to pass the test. It protests, but it has no say on the matter. The candle is almost completely melted, so it ends up setting its hair on fire. It screams and bounces around. Femanon takes it out, and it begs its kids for help, but they claim that since it's not city sect enough, it doesn't deserve to live, like their sisters. It burns away, and Femanon eats the remaining three.

Anon has caught a Remirya. Of course, he doesn't miss the opportunity to kick it around the house. When it starts demanding food, he gives it some vegetables. When it vehemently refuses, he cuts open its stomach and stuffs the vegetables inside. He then starts playing with it, and it suddenly grows happy. He does a piledriver on it, and it starts crying again. He keeps playing with it, and it smiles again. After having fun with this switch for a while, he goes to sleep. The next day, he rips off its arm and says that until it eats it all, he won't give it any pudding. It is, of course, quite horrified. He leaves it for the night. In the morning, it claims to have eaten it all, while obviously hiding the whole thing behind its back. Anon leaves it for another day. When he comes back, it's in tears, having eaten half and claiming that it's enough. He leaves it for another day. This time, it eats it all. He gives it some pudding as a prize. It devours it and demands more, but Anon notes that it's lunchtime. It agrees, so he tells it to eat its other arm. It freezes. Anon puts its hand into its mouth and kicks its jaw. What follows is an internal monologue about food, which culminates in "Remirya is food". From that point on, Remirya was never hungry; it always had itself to eat.
108.
A family of Yukkureimus appears in Anon's porch on a hot midsummer day. The kids find a bucket, and ask what it's for. Anon says that you can put water in it and cool yourself. The kids want to do it. But, don't you swell up and dissolve in water? "Stupid mister!!! Of course we don't!!!" Anon decides to see how things will progress. He puts them all in the bucket and fills it with water. The mother starts spitting water on the kids to cool them down, all the while staring victoriously at Anon because it thought it was right. After 10 minutes, it's still mumbling about what an idiot mister is, but its kids aren't taking it too easy. It tries to take one out, but it comes apart. They all scream. It tries to take a few more out, but they dissolve too. It screams that Anon did something to the water, and this wouldn't happen normally. Anon then suggests that they take a bath in the river. They agree, but upon entering the river, both the mother and the remaining kids start inflating. They finally realize the truth, and plead for help from the smart mister who knew that this would happen to them. It's too late, though, so he leaves them and goes home to eat dinner with his Yuchouli. It states that such idiots only wisen up if they are killed.

Mothereimu is furious. Three of its six kids, and its husband Marisa, were just killed by a human. The family plans to get revenge. Cut to a man crossing a rather fragile bridge. On the other end, the family is watching him. Upon confirming that he's the one they're looking for, the eldest sister charges towards him. Of course, as the bridge rocks sideways, it falls off with a scream. The mother panics, but tells the other kids to proceed slowly. At that moment, they notice a Remirya flying above them. It hasn't noticed them yet, so the mother tells them to be quiet. The youngest kid then shouts "OKAY MOMMIE, REIMU WILL BE QUIET". Smart. The Remirya then swoops toward them. The mother jumps on it and bites it, and they both end up falling off the bridge. The remaining three (yes, three. Either the author lost count, or I'm missing something.) kids, frozen, start arguing about whether they should return or throw the man off the bridge. Suddenly, the elder one is crushed. The man had heard them. He proceeds to kick away the older one, and eat the youngest. They both scream, but the koyukkuri is delicious. The last one tries to attack him, but he dodges and it falls off the bridge. On the way down, it apologizes to its family, and exclaims that it wanted to take it easier.

Parsee-types are a rather rare kind of yukkuri. They usually live alone as they are naturally envious of others. This yukkuri was particularly jealous. It had spent its entire life watching other yukkuris happily frolic and play with accessories in their hair. Parsee-types, of course, have bare heads. This Parsee had decided that it would have to resort to stealing another yukkuri's accessory.
Hiding behind a bush, the Parsee planned to attack the first yukkuri that came by. It didn't take long before the Parsee heard something.
"Uuuuuu~"
Looking through the bush, the Parsee spotted an oddly shaped blob scooting along the forest floor. "This is my chance!" the Parsee-type thought to itself. Jumping from behind the hiding place, the Parsee-type yelled its battle cry, "Steal it easy!"
But the Parsee-type had made a mistake; its would-be-victim was a Yuyuko-type. A hungry Yuyuko-type.
“Yuuuu~ So hungwy. Yuyuko needs food! You look yummy!”
With no time to spare, the Yuyuko-type opened its massive mouth and began to inhale the air around it with great force.
“Nooo~ I can’t steal it easy!” cried the Parsee-type.
-----
A few hours later, Anon was walking through the woods when he came upon a yukkuri.
“Hello mister. Yuyuko happy!” it announced before strolling along its merry way.
“That’s weird,” Anon though to himself,”I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Yuupi with pointy ears.
111.
Anon wants to eat cream puffs.
He catches an Alice, after it just finished raping an adult yukkuri and several infants, and takes it home. He already has a "tamed" sex slave Reimu, which even knows how to handle a vibrator. He puts it in a room and asks it if it wants a Marisa. "I-I never asked for one!!! But if you bring me one, I-I'll do it the favor of raping it!!!" He then says that he has no Marisas, but he'll refresh it himself. He shakes it for a while, makes it horny, and then leaves it in the box, screaming that it wants to get refreshed. The next day, he comes back and shakes it again. It continuously objects, but eventually gets refreshed, then proceeds to act like a complete tsundere about it. "How could I get refreshed with a human" etc. Anon teases it, and it pretends not to hear. The next day, he claims that he's deeply in love with it, at which it's thoroughy confused. He proceeds to refresh it more, and it eventually claims that it doesn't need Marisas anymore, as it has Mister. The fourth and final day, he gets his trained Reimu to torture a Marisa with a vibrator, and goes to prepare Alice.
He asks it if it prefers him or Marisas. It accepts, tsundereliciously, that it prefers Mister. Satisfied, he promises it a present, blindfolds it, and goes back to the other two. The Marisa is now screaming for release, and he promises that he'll let it get refreshed. He puts it behind the blindfolded Alice, and takes its blindfold off. The Marisa, of course, starts raping the Alice, which begs Anon for help. He states that there's no way he could love a yukkuri, and everything he said was a lie. Alice is utterly broken, and lets the Marisa have its way. After the first NHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Marisa tries to rape the Alice again, but Anon smashes it with a hammer. The Alice has now rotted away, and a twig with ten Alices and Marisas is sprouting from its head. He rips them off. "Schop iiit!!!" "Don'ch each us!!!" He eats the Alices ("Happiness!!!") and leaves the Marisas for dinner.

A certain type of Yukkuri species are designed to survive in the harshest environments by spawning 2 types of Yukkuri. When they give birth, a lot of them are born herbivore, but a select few are born as fast-growing carnivores.
The herbivore types flourish in an enviroment where there is plenty to feast on.
However, when the community of this type of yukkuri go through a bad time where there is very little to eat, in order to preserve the race, the carnivore types begin feasting on the hervibore types until the community of yukkuri are able to find a new plentyful environment.
In this way they are able to better preserve their species for a longer duration of extreme conditions whereas other yukkuri communities might have died out.

Yuyukkuri's Dream Land
One day Yuyukkuri awoke to find that her precious Dreamcast was missing. She was very distraught because she could not take it easy without it. Her distraught made her very hungry, so she went over to the fridge to eat a snack easy. When she went to the fridge she found it empty and the only thing left was a note inside. It was from Yukkuri Tewi and it said that she borrowed Yuyukkuri's Dreamcast and all of her food while Yuyukkuri was sleeping easy, and that she felt that Yuyukkuri would not mind. So, being hungry and unable to take it easy, Yuyukkuri slowly headed over to Eientei to reclaim her precious Dreamcast.
Bosses
Saigyukkuri Ayakashi - After absorbing the bean paste of thousands of Yukkuris, the Saigyou Ayakashi began to take on a new character. Rather than enticing travelers to die underneath its blossoms, it now enticed them to take it easy underneath its pink flowers. It also grew a face. (Stage 1 Boss: A Whispy Woods clone)
Yukkureimu & Yukkurisa - It looks like these two Yukkuris just found a new home to take it easy in, and Yuyukkuri is invading their new space, so they'll chase her out easy with some green blocks they found lying around.(Lololo and Lalala boss clones, Stage 2 bosses)
Yukkuri Flandre - Remirya isn't around, so it looks like Yukkuri Flan will have to bully Yuyukkuri intead. Two forms, first normal Flan flying around and attacking by ramming, second form she gets her mutated body and attacks. (Stage 3 Boss, Kracko clone)
Yukkuri Tewi - After coming all the way back to Eientei slowly, Yukkuri Tewi isn't going to just give up the Dreamcast easy, so she'll just pound Yuyukkuri into sakura mochi easy and then keep the Dreamcast for herself. She'll attack and pound with a wooden hammer. (Final boss, King Dedede clone)
Ending
After filling her belly and retrieving her Dreamcast (Happiness!), Yuyukkuri puts it on top of her head and starts the long slow trip back to Hakugyokurou so she can take it easy after a long hard day. Credits roll, and at the end she drops the Dreamcast and it breaks.

I Yukkurisa had given birth to a koyukkuri recently. It's older sister, a Yukkureimu, showed it and it's mother a river nearby. "Pwetty waders" The Koyukkuri shouted! "Let's take it easy!" the reimu shouted to it's family.
I was walking up to them as the mother and the young one flipped their hats into the water. The Mother and Reimu held sticks into the hat, and the young koyukkuri sat in her own hat.
It was a cute sight, and I had to ruin it somehow.
"Take it easy!" I said to the Yukkurisa and her family.
"Take it Easy" they all shouted back.
They had foolishly let go of the sticks, and the hats began drifting down the river.
Like a foolish family, it started to chase after the two hats it let go. "Save her easy!" The young Reimu commanded to her mother. The mother grabbed one of the sticks in her mouth, and bounced towards the floating hats. I followed them.
Just like I had studied, a Yukkuri's accessory is important to the Yukkuri, and one with no accessory is doomed to be hated by all Yukkuri. Naturally, the mother was reaching for it's own hat. It missed.
"Take it easy, mother Marisa" I said to it. "I'll help!"
And so I did. I reached out and grabbed the Koyukkuri and it's own hat. As I placed her on dry land, the Hat the mother owned floated by me. it was much closer to the edge than the koyukkuri I grabbed, but I made no motion towards it.
The mother ignored her safe child and followed the hat all the way down to a cavern. The cliff edge prevented her from following on dry land. She lept into the river, but I caught her before she could drown herself.
"I saved bother of you! Now you can take it easy" I said, intentionally mocking the Marisa who's negligence caused her to lose what all Yukkuri consider the most important. Tears began streaming down it's face.
"Why did you stop me mister!? I can never take it easy now!"
The Yukkureimu began screaming at it's mother. Obscenities among the Yukkuri. without it's hat, it was a monster now. Screaming at it's own mother for a simple accident. An accident that never would have happened if the Reimu herself hadn't suggested something dangerous.
"Mwommie is scawwee!" The Koyukkurisa shouted. It hid behind it's Big Sister. And for good reason. The mother was starting to glare towards her.
"That hat! Marisa made that hat. Please give it to me easy!" It shouted. The desperation in it's voice startled even me. What a horrible creature, to ignore the needs of it's own children.
"You should not take what belongs to your children! You are a bad Yukkuri, and I should punish you!"
And so I did. Despite it's cries and wails, I tied it to a tree branch, and under where she hung, I dug a large hole. 1 Meter wide, three meters deep. Installed at the bottom was a spinning blade that would mash any Yukkuri that fell into it into paste. Crying, screaming paste.
It's actually kind of hilarious now, since I tied the rope so securely. Many Yukkuri now a days come to the tree just to try and tackle the Accessoryless Yukkuri. They bump into her of course, but with no hard surface on the other side, she just waves back and forth. And the Yukkuri that tried to tackle her? She falls straight into the pit.
I have to clean it out every once in a while, but it's still fun watching the little things scream "Drop dead easy" just before they do the very thing themselves.
115.
The Gyakutai Onii-sans go to the concert and start continuously shuffling the Yukkurismrivers's hats. They start complaining, but the Onii-sans point out that the audience wants to listen to their song. Eventually, their tones and melodies fall into chaos. Merupo trying to sing Lunasa's bass with a trumpet-like voice, Lyrica playing Merupo's solo with her instruments, and the audience is quite displeased. They then ask the Yukkurismrivers who they are.
-Who are you?
-Yu...I'm Ly, Lyrica!
-But you're wearing Lunasa's hat and playing Merupo's part.
-Y U U U U U ! ! ?
They keep asking without giving them time to think. The harmony is destroyed, and the audience is jeering.
-So, who are you, wearing Merupo's hat and singing like Lyrica?
-Yu!! Ly, Ly, ri...Lyripo? Merusa! U U U U U U ! ! !
-Lylylylylylyrica...isn't Lyrica? But? LYRICA IS SUPPOSED TO BE LYRICA!!!
-Mememememememmmmmlunyasasasasalyricakkkkkpopopo!
In the end, they are unable to get it, and suffer a complete identity breakdown.
