It was a full moon tonight, and was the color of blood. Normally I wouldn't care so much but today I feel that something is going to happen, since I do have a sixth sense. Anyway, it was kinda creepy how the moon could become so bloody red and it feels a little eerie.That and how everyone get to stay inside the mansion but me. I sometimes wonder about my life which I seem to be wasting being a gatekeeper. Everybody torment me whenever I take a break, especially Sakuya. But then again, Scarlet Devil Manor would be invaded and destoryed over countless time if I wasn't here. Yes, I am the great gate guard Hong Meiling! Guardian of SDM, protector of the Scarlets,master of chinese martial arts and the bearer of the biggest breast in the entire mansion!
"Hahahahahaha!!!"
"I see you're slacking off again Meiling"
I turned and saw Sakuya.
"Wait, I wasn't slacking off! I was...err...I was..."
"Save it. I don't have time for this. Tonight is the night of the Hunters moon and I have an important mission." Sakuya told me.
Important mission? Important enough not to impale me with knifes? Wow that must be special.
"I see. Well, have fun then Sakuya!I'll do my best to guard the gate."
Sakuya came so close to my face I could practically smell her breath and everything she ate. She must have had another helping of garlic bread, about 3 slices (phew it stinks),2 cup of tea and some coffee. I felt like passing out but I knew if I do Sakuya would be all over me again.
"You better not slack off while I am gone, cause if I get back and if even one, just one, single living creature get in I will cut apart each and every limb on your body then I will throw you to the underworld myself. Understand?"She threatened with a cold whisper.
Normally I got use to her death threats but tonight's sound especially scary.
"Ye...Yes ma'am. Un...understood ma'am." I was able to reply.
"Good, now I have to go."
She walked about few second and stopped.
"Wait, I actually do have time to spare."
At that moment, I knew it was going to be another night of living hell.
After a few minutes (or seconds. I wasn't able to count since Sakuya stop time multiple time)of impaling and cutting me, Sakuya finally left. Mind you that it hurt a lot and I even felt like crying now. I always wondered what was her problem but I guess the most obvious is that she's jealous of my breast (did you know that Sakuya's breast score was five out of forty in the Ms.Gensokyo competition? I was able to score a total of thirty out of forty. I think the one who won it was some women by the name Eirin Yagokoro who was able to score a thirty-nine out of forty last time. It was surprising and I actually think she cheated but it didn't really matter to me that much. It was after that day that it seems Sakuya is going after me) I was able to recover in no time thanks to the power of my Chi (which is really useful in combat and self healing) and I was back to guarding the gate. It was an extremely boring job since hardly anyone ever comes near our mansion, and I don't blame them unless they want to die or is just very, very stupid.
"This is so boring it makes reading looks fun."
"That's because reading is fun..."I
turned around and saw Patchouli,which was pretty surprising since that girl never leaves her room.
"Patchy, you're outside? Wow, this is one weird night" I joked.
"Those who don't understand the events will never understand life"
"Wha...? I think...you got that phrase wrong"
"...Oh, you're right."
The thing about Patchouli is that how she would try to make up her own philosophic phrase but she seems to always get them mixed up. I think she should just stick with reading and magic or either that she should really start buying some fortune cookies.
"So why are you out here Patchy?"
"You haven't notice?"
"Uh, notice what?"
"The moon."
"Oh, yeah I know. It's blood red tonight. I do find it a bit eerie but it's pretty normal."
"To have a red moon is not natural, especially in august."
"What do you mean? There's always a red moon every few days on august"
"Tsk,tsk, you do not understand. It seems nobody have notice yet. This is august, the night of the corn moon."
"So? I don't get what you're saying. Where are you going with this?"
Patchouli sighed.
"Never mind. You just stand guard, I'm going to be going out for a while."
I was not sure what was happen but too see Patchouli go outside of her room tonight, there is definitely something weird going on. I want to investigate too, but if I leave something might happen to SDM. That and Sakuya would kill me. I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if I got a different job...
