It's important for Megumu to regularly both bully and meta-bully her subordinates so they never forget their place.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* “Who the hell?” *KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* The rapping on her door continued. Taking her bedside-spell card with her, Aya crawled out of bed, neglecting to change out of her sleepwear, and ambled over to the door. She was going to blast whoever was bothering her off the mountain, which should give her enough time to finish her rest. Opening the door, all she saw was a flash of blue before suddenly being embraced. The tengu grappling her stood a head taller and had a strong grip. It was a good thing Aya was slow to the draw, since assaulting her daitengu would be a horrible start to the day.

“There’s my little best-seller!” Megumu wasn’t a bad boss: Strict, demanding, greedy, ambitious and cunning, sure; most tengu were. She was also protective of her subordinates, whether they were a reporter with a genuine problem or her kudagitsune feeding her another lie. She just didn’t usually do it in such a smothering way.

“Iizunamaru-sama?! What are you doing here?” The daitengu sounded happy, but Aya wasn’t sure if it was genuine or a ploy to lower her guard before another scolding. Did she mess up some of her manuscripts?

Letting herself in, Megumu raided Aya’s kitchen for tea leaves, a kettle and all her favorite additives. “I just wanted to see if you heard the latest rumors about the HSE. Seeing as Bunbunmaru has been giving it glowing reviews, I think it’d be in your best interest to get ahead of the flock. It would be a shame to lose such a coveted reputation to someone else~.” Visiting her reporters and encouraging them to compete with each other over a new scoop was one of Megumu’s common tactics to boost productivity. She’d probably visited a hundred crows before Aya and would visit a hundred more before the end of the day, not counting memos or her attendants.

“I’ve been too busy studying the attractions to notice. What’s going on?” It wasn’t a lie: Aya had been thinking about Anon a lot lately.

“Just like that? Well, never say I didn’t do anything for you: Rumor has it that someone from the Moriya Shrine has been visiting the HSE. Someone tall and hooded, coming from the mountain with an overwhelming prescence at night. Could you imagine what would happen if this came to light after everything that green shrine maiden’s been preaching? Her own goddess, falling to carnal sin! It practically writes itself!” The kettle started to whistle as Aya processed this information. Kanako was part of Okina’s alliance, right? There was something strange about this: Either Ran or Megumu wasn’t telling the whole story. Both of them were under Yukari’s thumb, but one had a worse track record with manipulating her allies.

“It’s a basic investigation: Trail the Moriyan, snap a picture of them entering the brothel and just like that we’re selling out! Yukari’s gonna owe me big time for this!” With her command heard, the daitengu left Aya behind in her juban, tea brewed but never poured. Pouring a small cup for herself, Aya took a sip before spitting it out. Bleh, too sweet.

Freshening herself up after her surprise meeting, Aya had to tell Momiji to do some dirty work in investigating the rumor itself. Before that, she’d head up to the Moriya Shrine to ask Kanako directly. They were part of the same alliance, so she’d surely tell Aya if she was meeting Ran for a secret meeting or something. It definitely wasn’t a powerful goddess exploiting Anon for his body. Surely.

Heading out the door, a tingle shot from Aya’s spine to her brain. The magic was Okina’s, and it popped an idea into her brain: Sometime, she’d have to attend a meeting with Anon’s Frens. Jeez, they used Chen’s name after all? And “Sometime?” Well, it wasn’t like she was doing something actually important today. When it happened, it happened. With a carefree mind, Aya ascended the Youkai Mountain, taking a neat shot of a kappa with her skirt rolled up near a tree. Business was business.

Whenever you do your Anon’s Frens, go ahead. I’ll probably write more later today, but it won’t clash with letting the meeting happen if it comes out sooner. Pls no bully too hard, she is a simple, honest reporter.

Virgin goddess subplot will involve no(?) bullying!

Sorry, I don't associate with unimportant beta tengu trash.
