"so frightened that she covered her eyes with her braids" muh heart
I live alone, so I thought it might be interesting to let this little one stay and accompany me. So I placed her in the palm of my hand and went back indoors. The poor thing had no idea what was going on, and was so frightened that she covered her eyes with her braids and sat there shivering in my hand.
(The feeling of a koyukkuri shivering in my hand is pretty nice, hehe...)After cleaning her, I found a box and a few napkins. WIth these, I made her a house and a bed. Carefully picking up KoReimu by the ribbon, I placed her on the bed. The whole time, she flapped her braids frantically, trying to escape the grasp of the unknown 'giant' that had seized her.KoReimu's body was covered in dirt, so I took a cotton bud, dabbed a bit of water, and begin to clean her entire body. I know Yukkuri skin can be fragile, so I made sure to be careful while cleaning her.
While I was doing this, KoReimu kept saying "Yuyu..." without stopping.In the patch of grass next to my house, I found a koyukkuri Reimu. When she noticed me, she stared at me with eyes that were leaking tears. She seemed to be on the verge of crying, but perhaps because she had suffered a huge shock of some kind, remained silent.
