Orochi-Yuugiri Halloween Scramble

Orochi-Yuugiri Halloween Scramble

NOTE: I was slightly confused on the part about the herbs, but the rest of it was self-explanatory

Part 1:

Yuugiri:
This is good...
This is how a festival should truly be like...
Faceless everywhere...unrestrained and wandering
Please let more of them come here!

Orochi:
Oh, Yuugiri
What are you excited about?

Yuugiri:
Ah, Orochi
I was just enjoying the festival until the Faceless appeared
Honestly, it was a little boring before
But right now, it feels like the best mood at the festival

Orochi:
No matter the place, you always seem to enjoy the sound of battle and the sight of blood
Yuugiri hasn't changed at all
Even from the time we were both Mikoto's retainers
You always seemed to be the happiest on the battlefield

Yuugiri:
Ah, that certainly is nostalgic
But today on the battlefield, I cannot be completely joyful
Ah...it was also on a festival like today that...

Orochi:
Do you mean....

Yuugiri:
Yes...On a day very much like now
It was the day that Mikoto departed from this world

Orochi:
That is true
It was a disgrace that day that we could not do anything
I still regret it to this day
My eyes still grow teary thinking of it
But we should follow the original intent of this festival and enjoy it
So we can get rid of these sad feelings

Yuugiri:
The original goal of the festival?
But these cannot bring joy forever
Festivals such as these are like dreams and only last for seconds or minutes
I cannot hope that this continues forever
It is only when I put myself into a battle
That my mood becomes much better...

Orochi:
Ah, I see...
So you constantly seek battle as a means of dispelling your grief...

Yuugiri:
By the way...
Orochi knows how to cast necromancy spells proficiently, correct?

Orochi:
What of it?

Yuugiri:
Could you use your power to summon the Faceless?
And make them come in infinite numbers?

Orochi:
D-do what?!

Yuugiri:
Ah, as I expected of Orochi
It was a rather unreasonable request.

Orochi:
No...
It's just that I could never do that
And if I did do that
I couldn't allow for our other friends to suffer as well

Yuugiri:
I would certainly hope so...
Fighting is something only I can find enjoyment in
I suppose I will have find another means of finding excitement
I sincerely apologize for making such a request

Orochi:
Well, I do pride myself on being a spellcaster
This has piqued my curiosity
This request should be something I should consider...

Part 2:

Orochi:
Hello, Yuugiri.
I tried to develop a spell like you asked
I'd like to run a quick test of it
But I'm not so sure what is going to happen

Yuugiri:
Huh?
But didn't you say that it would be dangerous for our other allies?

Orochi:
I did consider that factor
So I'll simply try to cast it without causing too much danger

Yuugiri:
Heh, can you now?
If you insist, please go ahead...

Orochi:
That's what I though I would hear
So now, let me cast it
(Casting noise)

Yuugiri:
........
Huh....?!
There is a Faceless horde in front of my eyes!
A number that I've never seen before!
Wow, they are all over the festival!

Orochi:
Hehe, I'm happy to hear that
My spell seems to be a success
After all, it is only an illusion
This is only visible to those who are casted under the spell
This will allow to fight as much as you want
Whenever you want.

Yuugiri:
Oh, thank you...
My body is trembling with excitement....

Orochi:
Well, it was only a small amount of the herb

Yuugiri:
! !
What happened?
T-they all vanished?

Orochi:
Now, there is a time limit to this illusion
We can begin producing this sometime after the war is over
If you return to the castle, there are a lot of herbs that can replicate the effect
With it, we can make this happen again

Yuugiri:
Thank you
For your consideration to help me
Would you like for me to gather herbs for you?

Orochi:
Giving me herbs is unnecessary
I'll do it for free

Yuugiri:
Oh my. Orochi usually likes to ask of me to gather herbs for her.
What brought about this turn of events?

Orochi:
As long as your mind is clear whenever you are in battle
I would be happy to help you

Yuugiri:
! !

Orochi:
Yuugiri, you have always been addicted to combat
Even without this spell
Even since Queen Mikoto passed away
Your urge to fight has become stronger...

Yuugiri:
Orochi...

Orochi:
There are a number of ways to get over this sadness
But if this spell will help your clear your mind
I would be happy to cooperate with you
As we are both servants of the Kingdom of Hoshido

Yuugiri:
Hehe
If there is anything you ever need, I will be the first to help you, Orochi
Thank you very much
I feel much happier now
So by all means, please ask me if you ever need anything

Orochi:
Of course
I also enjoy helping you as well

Yuugiri:
As do I. Let us continue the battle.
And let us dance and enjoy it
Come face us, Faceless, and know that we are coming for you
And do not deny us the joy of bringing death to you!
