Hong Meiling's Fantasy Rebirth Story
Meiling
*snore*
Yukari
Wow. She's pretty good at sleeping while standing.
It's only noon!
Yukari
She doesn't look like she's waking up anytime soon. Dare I say she's wholly committed to her snoozing.
Meiling
Hahaha, Miss Sakuya. Even I can't eat that much.
Meiling
But you still made all this for me? You're making me blush, but I guess I do deserve it...
Meiling
*snore*
Yukari
I wonder what she's dreaming about.
She looks so happy.
Meiling
Huh...?!
Meiling
You're the shadow of Taisui Xingjun! You just never give up, do you?!
Meiling
But... *giggle*
Meiling
You will be nothing more than a stepping stone on my way to solidifying my legend as Gensokyo's best gatekeeper.
Meiling
Now, come and face me!
Meiling
*snore*
Yukari
She's awake, isn't she?
She is having so much fun.
Yukari
But this won't do. The plan was to surprise her when she woke up.
Yes, all we're doing is watching her sleep.
Yukari
So, how do we wake her?
Yukari
Let's try a few things and see what works!
Yukari
Oh no! Sakuya's here! Look at the gatekeeper sleeping on the job!
Oh, she's reacting...!
Meiling
...
Meiling
Hey, you prankster fairies! You shouldn't tease youkai! Miss Sakuya's not here!
Meiling
...
Meiling
*snore*
Sh-She's...!
Yukari
She saw through the lie in her sleep and scolded us!
Yukari
*huff* *huff*
Yukari
Haha... She's not waking up!
Now that I think about it... Is she ever awake?
Is this because today is so peaceful...?
Yukari
...
Yukari
She's left us with no choice. We have other business to attend to, so we cannot waste any more time here.
Yukari
We'll leave the costume with someone at the mansion.
Meiling
Stop right there.
Meiling
Do you have an entry ticket or an appointment?
Meiling
Great Youkai Sage, Yukari Yakumo.
Yukari
Teehee, we should have tried this from the beginning.
Yukari
Mysterious Gatekeeper of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Hong Meiling.
Meiling
This is my job, after all.
Yukari
...
Meiling
...
(The tension is too much...!)
Meiling
...Oh, sorry. I didn't see that Miss PLAYER was with you.
Yukari
...!
Meiling
What brings you here today, youkai sage?
Yukari
I'm only here to give you this.
Meiling
This is...!
Yukari
You're the Scarlet Devil Mansion's gatekeeper, and you manage its flower gardens.
Yukari
You're a master martial artist, and don't you also teach Tai Chi Chuan?
Meiling
...
Yukari
Go ahead, open it.
Meiling
...
Meiling
This is...!
Yukari
Even you have to give your body and mind a rest some time.
Yukari
When you do, look at that costume and remember...
Yukari
There will come a time when you will have to give your all to protect the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Yukari
...Maybe.
Meiling
...Hehe!
Meiling
Thank you!
Meiling
No matter the reason, it would be rude of me not to show my thanks after receiving clothes such as these.
I knew she'd like it!
Meiling
Hehe, of course, I do!
Yukari
And I'm glad that you accepted them. Shall we go, PLAYER?
Yes! See you later, Meiling!
Meiling
Please, let me say one more thing!
Meiling
I...
Meiling
I... don't take naps all that often!
Yukari
*sigh*
Yukari
...I won't tell Sakuya!
Costume Presentation
Hong Meiling
It's said that a skilled hawk hides its talons, and I think this applies to you. My qi flows better when I'm with you, so please rely on me, the best gatekeeper in Gensokyo. I'll be happy to help you out! ...But keep it a secret from Lady Remilia.
