CHAPTER 5

Makochi was too good for you. (2.5k words)

content warning: female reader, a bit angsty, violence

After having breakfast at Sakura's apartment, the Furin students went on their way to school. It was decided that you would stay with Kotoha while waiting for the first years to accompany you around town, saying that it's not safe to go alone in this situation.

"For real? That guy is wack in the head, good on you for escaping." Kotoha exclaims. Other than some elderly having their breakfast, it was just the two girls inside the cafe. From an outsiders perspective, it almost seemed like the two of you knew each other since birth from how loud you both were.

"But... it's not like I feel better now that you guys are involved in my problem," You sigh, feeling yourself open up to the brunette.

Kotoha gently puts down the cup she's been drying and puts her hand on your shoulder. She's dealt with these situations too frequently, but it's not like she's one to shy away from helping people "Hey, don't say that. Just because we haven't known each other for a long time doesn't mean you can't rely on others, we're more than happy to help you."

You just look at her silently, not knowing how to respond. The Mikos back at the shrine were kind and made great company, but not so much that you'd consider them friends. You were only there to protect them, humor their small talk during the many trips to the market, and maybe get to know a bit more about them, but not about you. The priest and Hayami were adamant on not letting you spend too much time with them. Kotoha who you've just met today on the other hand, was crossing a boundary you were unfamiliar with. Sakura must've felt the same way...

"Sorry...if I come across too touchy. It's a silly habit," she says with a warm smile. "Sakura was the same when he first arrived, and now look at him, hanging out with friends and all. It's a step forward to make him feel that he belongs, and hopefully...you can entrust this town and its citizens of your burdens."

Her words were simple, yet comforting. You were still conflicted, whether to overhaul these feelings of doubt on your own or entrust yourself to the people of Makochi. You went silent for a while, but Kotoha knew better than to probe. She patiently waits for your response.

"I... don't know what I did to deserve this kind of treatment, but thank you...for offering your aid."

Kotoha smiles and taps your shoulder, prompting you to look at her. "To get your feelings across much better, it's good to look at the person's eyes."

You look at Kotoha as per her advice and muster your courage to say, "Thank you."

"That's the spirit! So, how's the sandwich and coffee?" You're surprised at how good of a conversationist Kotoha is, able to lift your mood in just mere seconds. She's a good person...I can trust her.

Your plate had only half a chunk of the sandwich left, the warm coffee at least a thirds of the cup. "It's amazing! I've never had this kind of food back at the shrine."

Now Kotoha's more motivated to spoil you with all the city has to offer. "There's tons of places you can check out here in Makochi! Obviously my cafe is tons better but I'd love to see you try out everything." She starts going on a tangent, mentioning the Tsubaki person again and taking you shopping this coming weekend. It made you feel giddy and excited, but part of you was worried you'll attract unwanted attention. Never would you want Kotoha or anyone really to be in harm's way.

"That all sounds exciting. But maybe after my whole fiasco is settled...I don't want to break the peaceful environment here."

Kotoha visibly tenses at your statement, "Give Makochi a day or two, you'll have the full experience by then—"

Cueu a loud thud from the window.

Kotoha looks at the source of noise and just sighs, "That's a new record."

You see a crowd forming right outside the cafe, circling the lone student from Furin. Kotoha whips out her phone and starts dialing someone.

"I'll call the guys over—"

"Do you have a broomstick or anything similar, Kotoha?" She stares at you, but hands you a broomstick anyways. "I'll make sure to return it!"

You step out of the cafe, approaching the bruised student with the broomstick in hand. He coughs out blood and you irk, "Can you stand?"

He shakes his head and points at the large group of men, about ten or so.

"Oh, so yer the girl that took out our men."

"Ah, yeah...I already apologized though." You unapologetically say, and this irked some of the men. Your mentor would've done the same either, and he had the patience of a saint.

One of the tallest in the group comes forward and stares you down, hunching to meet your eye, "We were punished by our boss thanks to them embarassing us."

You stare back, "And why did you involve someone innocent? You're even worse than scum." Never did your words carry so much poison.

Sojiro would've been so proud of you right now.

The man goes for a punch, but you immediately dodge and go behind his figure, raising your broomstick and hitting swiftly at his nape. His body falls near the injured Furin student who looks up at you with amazement. You crouch down to his level, taking a good look at where he was hurt. Bruises on his head, cheeks swelling, and his dirtied uniform most likely hid even more gashes.

Pointing the broomstick at them, you face the group of men and yell, "You're all cowards for ganging up on a student. Apologize to him!"

They all charge towards you, yelling profanities that your ears blocked. You have no time to hear their idiocy, the task at hand is to quickly dispose of them without making a mess.

Unbeknownst to you, the Furin student had the energy to whip out his phone and record footage of the fight, sending the video to the Class 1-1 group chat.

Kakiuchi

Sent a video.

Happening rn at pothos!

Kotoha and the elderly patrons of Cafe Pothos watch from inside as you single out opponents with flawless footwork and quick strikes to the neck, rendering opponents still after being hit. "That little lady is quite the fighter," the old man says, watching with glee.

So this is what Umemiya and Hiragi meant, Kotoha thinks.

The Furin student sees his phone get bombarded by messages from the group chat just seconds later.

Kiryu

Lol (F/n) get their asses!!

Nirei

WHAT'S HAPPENING??!??!??

WHY IS (F/N) FIGHTING??!?!!?!!!

Tsugeura

SHE'S A BEAST HOLY CRAP

Anzai

DAMN?????

Suo

We'll be there as soon as we can

Not even a minute passed, all men were down and unconscious around you. You stretch after the tiresome workout, and wonder why your hand felt lighter than earlier.

The broomstick is now in half.

Sweating bullets, you refuse to look back at Kotoha and the Furin student who were calling out your name.

"(F/n)! Are you injured?" She says worriedly, inspecting your body for any signs of bruising. She found none thankfully, making her sigh of relief. "Thank you, for protecting us."

You refuse to look her in the eye but at the now two pieces of wooden sticks in your hand. Kotoha notices this and laughs, "Don't worry about that! It's just a broom."

"T-thank you!" The student says from his seat, "Please let me know how I can repay you!"

Your eyes light up from hearing it, "You don't have to really...but a broom would be nice."

"YOU BRAT!!!!!!" A familiar voice shouts from afar.

You suddenly gain the courage to face Kotoha and give her a pitiful look, mouthing the words please cover for me.

Sakura stomps and grabs both your shoulders and shakes you back and forth, "How hard is it to stay still?! You had us worried sick!!!!"

"Now, now, the deed's already been done. Not much we can do now," Suo says, looking at the pile of bodies. "You sure did a number on them (F/n), very impressive!"

Kotoha rips you away from Sakura's grasp, hugging your figure, "Can you go easy on her? (F/n) literally just saved us."

"It's my fault! Please don't get angry at her," the injured Kakiuchi who Nirei helped stand up says to his classmates. "I was on my way to school when they asked me about a girl who beat up the guys at the red light district. I was no match for them..."

So it really was your fault he got injured.

Sakura clicks his tongue and looks at his classmate sternly, "You could've called us! We swore to help each other out, didn't we!?"

Everyone looks at their grade captain who became embarrassed upon noticing he attracted the eyes of everyone, "All I'm saying is...don't do everything on your own, a-alright! We're a class for a reason!"

"And you!" Sakura points at your figure, hiding behind Kotoha, "From now on, someone's gonna look after you!"

Stepping away from Kotoha, you glare at Sakura dead in the eyes, "I refuse."

"What did you say?" Sakura huffs, looming over your figure, showing signs of annoyance.

"I said I refuse! Didn't you see how someone got injured because of me? Do you think I'd want any more of you to get hurt because of me?!"

He backs off, eyes wide and stunned. Kotoha stood her ground beside you, but she was clearly shaken by the sudden shift in you. Looking at Kotoha made you regret your words. It's like her words didn't get through you at all...

If you can't trust yourself, who will?

"You've all done enough to help me, but I'll have to do things on my own from now on. Please tend to his injuries well."

They all watch as you walk away.

❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋

"OUCH!" Umemiya yelps as he holds up his pricked finger. Sugishita rushes to his side, band aid in hand.

"Thank you, Sugishita!"

"You seem... bothered," Sugishita mutters while tending to his upperclassman's small injury. Umemiya smiles, proud to know how perceptive his little brothers were.

He looks up at the sky, breathing in the fresh air brought by the downpour from yesterday. Umemiya recalls a day like this in his childhood, and he'd been thinking about it while tending to his seedlings. "Ah, I just remembered something. That girl, I knew she was familiar."

Sugishita has heard of the commotion you caused yesterday, but partly because Umemiya couldn't stop discussing it in private with Hiragi earlier. The boy was never one to pry, but seeing Umemiya this bothered him was a matter on its own. It must be very important.

Umemiya's phone ringing suddenly broke the two's trance. He was greeted with Sakura's handle. Must be really urgent if Sakura of all people was calling.

"Sakura! What's the matter?"

He waits for the boy to respond, prompting Umemiya to randomly say Sakura's name to check if it's him or if the call was a mistake.

He gave Sakura a few more seconds, and he finally heard him spoke through the phone.

"(F/n)...she left."

❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋❋

You ended up walking at a park, people going by their day and spending time with their loved ones. Must be nice...

It was a fair weather compared to the last few days, so most families decided to make the most out of the opportunity for recreation. You hear a little girl cry, pointing at her balloon stuck on a tree while her mom calms her down. You didn't want to overstep, but the little girl was adamant on having her balloon and didn't want her mom to buy a new one.

Without hesitation, you climb and found yourself reaching for the balloon.

"Ah! Thank you, big sis!" The little girl says, her mother thanking you as well. Just as you are about to leave them, the little girl tells you to stay still and wait for her to come back.

"Big sis!" The little girl runs up to you and hands you an ice cream cone, "Thanks for getting my balloon back!"

The act of generosity surprised you, wanting to decline her offer and let her have the ice cream instead. "This is yours! Please take it, it has one of my favorite flavors!"

You watch as they walk off hand in hand. The ice cream in your hand had three scoops and looked a lot like the ones advertised in magazines. It was very delicious, like the little girl just said. The fact that someone else gave it to you out of gratitude added more to its value than just being a mere dessert.

This town was peaceful, with kind citizens inhabiting it.

You're just here to ruin it.

You kept walking around the park until you reached a fountain with a statue of a couple and their baby, peacefully sitting by the fountain's ledge. As soon as you find what Hayami and Sojiro entrusted you with, you'll be sure to be out of Makochi's borders.

Taking the time to rest before you make your move, the statue strikes you as odd now that you've paid attention.

A plaque beneath had a quote etched:

Where joy grows deep, sorrow must deepen; the greater one's pleasures, the greater the pain.

"That's...a quote from Kusamakura," you recall. Hayami and Sojiro often quoted this and told you of its meaning as a child.

"Oh...Our little ghost is quite the bookworm!" A familiar voice happily says out loud.

Turning your head to confirm your assumption, you see locks of swept white hair and large grey irises. "Ume...miya?"

"I'm glad you remember my name!" He points at the seat next to you with a grin, "Do you mind if I take a seat?"

You scooch over, making room for his large figure. He seemed very relaxed, contrasting your anxious self.

"So, how's Makochi so far?" He asks, looking at the citizens of the town who seemed aware of his presence as well, often waving when passing by.

"It's...cozy. The people here are nice to each other, almost like everyone's family."

The man lets out a satisfied hum, "And you're a part of it."

You let out a weak laugh, looking at Umemiya with a pitiful smile, "I've been here for a few days, and I'll take my leave after I finish my task. You can all pretend like I've never been here."

"Just like a ghost."

Umemiya frowns at your choice of words, almost thinking of lecturing you on the spot. He lets out a sigh, "I've heard about what happened earlier...I know it's hard to see someone get hurt, but you don't have to shoulder all the blame. Bofurin exists to protect everyone in Makochi, and that includes you."

"You guys are too kind...to a sickening and persistent degree if I might add," you scoff.

"If it gets you to feel welcome and accustomed here, then by all means, I'll become the most annoying person you're gonna know," Umemiya says, almost too seriously. "I'm here sitting next to you for a reason."

Curious about the sudden change in Umemiya's tone, you see him look sternly at the fountain statue. You've only seen him this morning, but you can tell this was not his usual demeanor.

Umemiya pauses for a moment, seemingly racking his thoughts before speaking, "Care to lend an ear for me, (F/n)?"

"Kagome don't."

"But I can save you, I know I can. Just hold still, I just have to heal you enough so you'll be fine when the sun rises."

"Can't let you do that. You'll be too weak. Need to run now, before Tsubaki and Naraku break through Tessaiga's shield."

"Inuyasha, do you think so little of me, that I could leave now when you need me most?"

"Always need you. But that's why I need to let you go. Because you - you were my new dream."

"And you were mine."

A Tangled AU, where Inuyasha is a feudal mercenary, and Kagome is a powerful miko, kidnapped as a small child from her loving parents by Naraku, a warlord who wants to keep her healing spiritual powers for himself.

why ayaka’s role in inazuma matters

this is only in terms of the narrative of the chapter, not in her literal involvement in the storyline, but there’s a reason why she‘s the featured character in the Teyvat chapter trailer.

you can consider her an abstract parallel of Ei’s own role, she‘s the character who gives you insight into Ei’s motivations and basically what’s upholding the narrative of the chapter.

in Ayaka’s story quest, we learn about her fantasies of a regular life and how isolated she feels because of her noble position in society. people admire her and respect her from a distance, but they don’t allow themselves to get close. she‘s split between her loyalty towards her remaining family, her brother Ayato, and her own (rightfully) selfish desires.

in the quest she finds out that her mother also hid similar desires under the imaginary identity of “Tsubaki”, and never got to fulfill something as simple as attending a festival, which Ayaka decides to do herself alongside the traveler.

as this really cool analysis puts it, traveler acts as the embodiment of Ayaka’s own “Tsubaki”: they’re adventurous, unbounded by responsibilities, free. yet when Ayaka asks them, traveler chooses their sibling as the priority, something she knows she herself has to do as well.

the Farewell Dance she performs is for the desires she has to give up in order to fulfill her duty, both of filial piety and towards Inazuma as a noble part of the political class. she goes back alone afterwards, at peace with her choice.

power comes with duty, and duty comes with a sacrifice of desires.

Ayato was in a similar position when he took over the clan: he never felt genuine loyalty towards the Raiden Shogun, instead, he thought his family should only look out for themselves. however, his family was saved by Yae Miko during the Raiden Gokaden disaster, and she asked for absolute loyalty towards the archon in return, a vow Ayato himself upholds as the current clan leader to honor his family.

both Ayaka and Ayato fulfill their duty through artificial personas, a side of themselves they carefully crafted to show to the public (and the other members of the Tri Comission). Yae Miko does the same to different degrees, sometimes preseting herself as a terrifying yokai that will eat her employees at Yae publishing house if they fail to meet a deadline, sometimes as cold and distant to the shrine maidens and the people who seek her help; but she says they’re all parts of herself.

Ayaka’s Shirasagi Himegimi identity is thus a smaller projection of the allegory of Ei’s Raiden Shogun puppet: to rule, one must abandon personal desires and separate themselves from the role.

Ei’s motivations aren’t based on a personal goal, nor are they a dogmatic pursuit of an ideal; she‘s fulfilling a duty.

“character details”, the first section in a playable character’s profile, usually introduces the character —who they are, what they do, their personality, etc— but Ei’s says nothing about her as an individual. instead, it describes the identity of the people of Inazuma and their worldview in relation to their archon, an entity that comes across more as an idealized concept of a god, almost mythical in nature.

it specifically compares the figure of their archon to natural phenomena, a primordial and permanent fact of life, and specifically to things that are necessary for survival like rain or the sea.

this figure is not Ei, and it was never Makoto either. “Raiden Shogun” is only a role they fulfill, a collective set of expectations and ideals that has taken the title of Inazuma’s god. the people of Inazuma didn’t even know Makoto existed, let alone that she died, but their beliefs of what and who their archon is remains the same whether those behind it change or not.

everything that the Inazuma people believe the Almighty Raiden Shogun to be, is what Makoto and Ei tried to be for them.

the character in question is named “Raiden Shogun”, after all, not "Raiden Ei", so naturally the character details in her profile describe this figure, and not Ei herself.

the figure of the Almighty Raiden Shogun is, in this way, a duty shaped by the beliefs of the people of Inazuma. And Ei defines herself through this duty.

in Ei's second story quest, we meet the memory of some soldiers who fought against the abyssal creatures during Ei and Makoto's absence. They trust their archon will come back to aid them, and the mere sight of her before them is a reassurance that the nation will be saved.

as long as their Almighty Raiden Shogun is by their side, the people have hope for a better future.

if they were ever to find out this symbol of hope was gone, how could they keep fighting? Ei herself felt her world crumble, anguished by the threat of what time would do to her nation, and she's an all powerful god.

she didn’t lock herself in the Plane of Euthymia to mourn the death of her sister or to avoid the reality of it, she did it to ensure Inazuma would never have to confront the death of their archon, like she had to do, and to protect them from the dangers of defying the Heavenly Principles indefinitely.

to uphold the belief of the Almighty Raiden Shogun, Ei gave up everything that made her an individual: her name, her physical body, her relationships, and the possibility to experience anything outside the Plane of Euthymia.

she gives up not just her desires, but everything that makes her a person. Ei is a ruler who has become her artificial persona, sacrificing her own sense of self.

which is why Yae Miko tells her:

Ei is not the idealized concept of a god her people believe their god to be, and condemning herself to eternal suffering isn’t worth preserving Inazuma’s physical permanence.

the change in the nation has to come both ways: ruling is a collaborative effort where both the ruler and the ruled need to intervene to make a better society, and if either party refrains from collaborating they will be stuck.

i think what this chapter explores successfully is precisely authority and power, and how they have to be handled to rule.

we know it’s a necessary means for survival and justice, least someone like Kujou Takayuki use it for their own interests; and we also witness Lady Hiragi in Ayato’s story quest create her own artificial persona to put order in her clan (at the same time desisting on her marriage to Kujou Kamaji). duty should also be left behind when it becomes a burden, like we saw Kazuha do with his clan when he started his life of wandering, or else it might turn into a fruitless pursuit, like the cursed sword from his story quest. characters must find the right balance.

Monthly Girls Nozaki-Kun Vol. 2 by Izumi Tsubaki

Character 3| Setting 3| Plot 2| Art 3.5| Enjoyment 5

Rating: 3.3

God, this volume was so funny. I just started laughing so hard at the gimmicks in this volume. Tsubaki is so good at making me absolutely cackle.

I loved how each different panel played off and really made a full joke. I loved Miko-rin's jokes the best. It was fun, cute, and I loved it.

me freshing up on Shinto religion and the figure of the miko during the sengoku era, and i find this:

Wandering Miko Aruki Miko (歩き巫女) are a historical variety of miko, or Shinto priestesses, from Japan. Wandering miko are characterised by their lack of allegiance to any particular shrine or temple, instead performing their religious duties in various locations over time.

which leads to

A miko would depart between the lunar new year and the fourth month, travel the country to work, then return by the next lunar new year's eve. Upon return, she would undergo kongori, a ritual of purification in cold water. During her pilgrimage, the head of each miko village, called Kakae-nushi or Boppoku, would recruit beautiful girls between the ages of 8 and 16 from across the country, either for an agreed number of years or as adopted daughters. These girls were brought back to Shinshu to be trained by a senior nonō for three to five years before becoming a full-fledged miko. 

miko during the sengoku period were said to have been forced into a state of mendicancy as the shrines and temples that provided them with a livelihood fell into bankruptcy. leading to the origin of the concept of a wandering miko, who would travel the country performing their religious duties in exchange for money. some sold their services as sex workers as well, which came to the association of wandering miko with sex work.

which leads me to the part of the manga where it is said that kikyo and tsubaki traveled together slaying demons. this probably relates to the concept of the wandering miko, meaning that they were already full-fledged miko back then. it is said about tsubaki that she was considered a "high class miko" which can only lead me to believe that it implies she would have to have been involved in sex work, offering her services to the shogun in the area. while kikyo chose to return to her home village and perform her duties there. while we cannot be certain that kikyo was or not involved in sex work as well, given her devotion to her sister, it's easy to imagine she would've wanted to return to her home village to look after kaede either ways.

do i think kikyo was also involved in sex work as a wandering miko? yes, at least once. despite how prideful we see kikyo could be, there was really no other option to make money sometimes during their travels, and the influence of tsubaki in her life could have made it look like the easiest solution.

as i said above, while kikyo has no delusions of grandeur and arrogance like tsubaki did, she was still an incredibly prideful and self-righteous woman when it came to her skills as a miko. her cold and detached nature didn't make it any easier to follow tsubaki's lead, and when she returned home and became the guardian of the shikon no tama, she knew she was destined for greater things.
