The Reinterpretation of Scarlet Devil - Chapter Two


Let me introduce Marisa Kirisame. Here we have a girl who’s almost my age, but both looks and acts six years younger. To look at her is to think, Why isn’t this girl in school?

This is unacceptable, because she’s a lot prettier than me. She has messy blonde hair gathered in a thick braid, tied with a bow and hanging over her chest. Her eyes are a shade of brown so light that they’re golden. She wears clothes that would only make sense on a woman twice her age. A black dress covered in a white apron. A white blouse done up with a black button-up vest. And to top it off, a ridiculously huge, wide-brimmed black hat with white under-lining and a huge white bow on the front.

All together, she looks like a girl dressing up as a witch for a costume party. The difficulty is that Marisa actually is a witch. A female magician, and a strong one.

And that’s not all. I’m not sure if it’s a speech impediment or an accent, but she talks as if she has no concept of plurals. I never hear from her, Hello Reimu. How are you doing today? Instead I get, Hiya, Reimus! How’s ya hangins and bangins? Gots any more of that mint teas? Good stuffs!

The closest I can get to her speech is putting an s at the end of her words. But that’s not quite how she sounds. It’s more like she says zeh as a whispered syllable after everything. I came-zeh over so you could have the benefits-zeh of my company-zeh! Least you can do-zeh, make some cakes and treat-zeh me like a good hostess-zehs!

See how annoying that is? And you only have to read it. You can’t imagine how it grates my ears to hear the girl talk for longer than three zeh’s at a time. I’ll try to spare you the horror. Most of it.
