yuuka "I've been teaching Botany, a topic on which I am {sc}incredibly{/sc} overqualified for, to idiots younger than you, but still very much similar to you."
narrator "{i}A few nervous chuckles break throughout the auditorium.{/i}"
yuuka "But enough of the customary good-natured teasing, I am here because Professor Okazaki is returning today."
yuuka "As is stated in the faculty handbook she wrote and doodled over, because clearly not even she could have handwriting THAT horrendous,"
yuuka "I must give a presentation to report to the faculty and administration exactly what I did as subsitute for Professor Okazaki."
yuuka "This is that presentation: a postmortem to my short time here, a retrospective of sorts."
yuuka "You might also be wondering why I've invited select students to attend this presentation."
yuuka "I will be getting to that, please do not leave your seats throughout this presentation. This will be brief."
yuuka "This used to be a field of red buckwheat flowers, growing ever so softly towards the sky blue."

reimu "Well that's... I guess I'm ambidextrous?"
narrator "Marisa then broke out into laughter, unfazed by Alice's glance, and Reimu's melting glare."

yuuka "I've not done those since this morning. You know how routines get."

yuuka "You?"

marisa "Great times."
reimu "Right, anyways we're just here to find her. There've been noise complaints from the Human Village about what they're getting up to here."
marisa "Plus, all of the students? They're not from the village. They didn't even know about Reimu! We're thinking this is a major breach of the barrier."

narrator "Marisa chuckled."
marisa "Yuuka, who do you think you were substituting for?"

alice "You can just sit tight for a week and Yumemi will walk right up to you."
yuuka "I could lay a trap."
alice "Exactly."
yuuka "A tempting offer, but I don't think I'll need any tricks to deal with her."

yuuka "I talk with Medicine."
alice "She barely counts as an exception."
alice "Look, this is the first time I've seen you talk with humans without it being some kind of underlying threat. This could be good for you."
