Separated at birth?
Children being separated at a young age; it is a sad but unfortunately common state of affairs. As often as not the children do not even remember having another sibling; especially should the separation occur young enough. Recent evidence gathered by yours truly has indicates that one such unknowing pair may be living in our very own forest of magic! One Marisa Kirisame and Alice Margatroid!
First, dearest reader, consider this. If I were to tell you about a blond magician that lived alone would you be able to guess which? No! Of course not! But the similarities don’t stop there! Both long lost sisters have highly become highly specialized in their preferred types of magic as a way to fill the sister shaped hole in their lives. Both sisters have an obsession with books in one form or another. Alice clings to that book of hers almost as though she’s expecting it to be ripped away from her before she can truly get to know it and Marisa constantly steals and acquires books as though she was searching for the one that was lost to her. Both of them seek or have sought the immortality that only status as a youkai magician can bring. Both are known for their anti-social tendencies.
Most telling of all is how impossible they become to tell apart if not for their distinct clothing and hairstyles. Just look at the front page photos, dear reader, and judge for yourself!
Dating: Yuuka and Yukari
Great news dearest reader! The rumors of the budding relationship between the sunflower youkai Yuuka Kazami and the gap youkai Yukari Yakamo are proving to be true!
The of them were spotted earlier this week on a romantic date in Yuuka’s famous sunflower field. With Yukari even going so far as to offer Yuuka a place on her lap.
This certainly marks the beginning of a grand romance.
Yuuka softens, spares human
Yuuka is well known for her staunch anti-human stance. The fact that she ranks among the most deadly of youkai in the minds of the human village is common knowledge. However it would seem that her courtship with Yukari has softened her view as she recently spared a human.
Recently the outside world human and ex-lover of Yuuka’s, Renko, was spotted joking around with the normally dangerous flower youkai.
When questioned about the nature of her relationship with her human ex-lover as well as her stance on humans in general Yuuka stated that she actually “quite likes humans” and that “[Renko] was her gardener”. She even went so far as to claim that her famous genocide comment was due to her being tired.
Yuuka did not elaborate on what exactly a flower youkai means by “Gardener”.
Yukari could not be reached for comment by press time.
Complaints of lack of orphan meat may put local food stand out of business
After a plethora of rumors surrounding her widely known food stand and it having a collection of exotic orphan meat burgers, Mystia Lorelei is starting to consider closing it down after receiving several complaints about her apparent lack of orphan meat burgers.
A reported several dozen customers of the grey and shaded variety had arrived at the stand and were disappointed that the rumors of Mystia’s supply of burgers made using the flesh of children whose parents were either missing or dead turned out to be false.
“I heard that she was selling it here and just had to check it out,” said one of the individuals. “Imagine my dismay when she tells me she not only didn’t have it, but NEVER had it.”
Complaints were common across the board. “I was just getting ready to build myself a meat dragon!” another of the grey people reported.
“Everybody knows that you just can’t use any type of meat when constructing one of those. Way to let the customer down, Mystia!” When asked about the matter, Mystia herself did not seem very surprised.
“This is why you never put any trust in those rumors!” she told reporters on the evening of the big rush.
“All they ever do for you is lead you to disappointment at best, and at worst you could put some poor girl’s livelihood as they know it in jeopardy…Now I have to sit back and rethink my career for a day or two.”
