is [https://youtu.be/3C9LnlN1v5g a game], not necessarily New Year, generally played by 2 people and usually overseen by one or two referees. The players sit on either side of a wooden block – "pillow" – with a target – "butterfly" placed on top and take turns throwing folding fans to knock the butterly off the pillow. A shot is scored differently depending on what position the fan and the butterfly are in after the fan is thrown.

A very demonly mission + bonus by Kі nо Shirayuki on 2022-12-21 07:59:10 UTC Writing Reply

After Inasuke's mission with Kaguya, all four mission together against a pair of bratty Sues.

Bonus: In case you missed it, here is my fill for Nova's December challenge, though set in Jan 2023.

Ah, the dynamics. : )

I looked up all the games/poem you referenced on Wikipedia to understand the context better. The one that didn't work out is Tōsenkyō, which it claims is a mountain, rather than a fan-throwing sport. Mind explaining what the fan version is a bit?

Huh. That's an interesting comparison you bring up between Kaguya and Vil. They are very similar, yet Inasuke idolizes the canon character while despising his own teammate. Inasuke calls Kaguya lazy, yet we know Kaguya puts an incredible amount of effort into his appearance and his ceremonial rituals, not to mention his gaming! I guess Inasuke just doesn't like the idea of Momoka being Kaguya's servant, like I initially didn't? I hope Momoka will get the opportunity to speak her mind and show Insuke she isn't a slave!

I'm curious to learn in future stories what Kaguya's untranslated dialogue was, and why his demeanor has changed so much because of this mission . . .

—doctorlit will read the other story soon(?)

His untranslated dialogues mean exactly what Momo translates it as, only formatted funnily; I didn't write them out to avoid redundancy 🤣

This is the start of a character arc, so stay tuned!

Sorry, I meant the one line Momoka missed: by doctorlit on 2023-01-02 04:16:40 UTC Reply

"So preoccupied with the fic's badness, she had forgotten to translate one more complaint from her master."

In my mind, there was something significant he pointed out here, which has now gone unnoticed by the rest of his team? Or maybe I'm ascribing too much importance here?

It was nice to have the agents not be so bothered by a badfic some of the time. But poor Ina just can't get a Vil mini.
