Eirin looked busy as she went over some paperwork at her desk, but she always seemed busy. She could be sitting on a coach staring at a wall for all Reisen knew she could be inventing another cure for cancer in her head to pass the time. Still, Eirin did tell her to report to her when she was finished for the day. "Master Eirin? I'm here with my report"

Eirin turned to her, those dull silver eyes staring at her with as much interest as she cared to muster "Good. Tell me what you’ve learned”

“As you requested, I took note of all the women in the village that needed medicine to help with their pregnancy. I couldn’t ask questions to avoid arousing suspicion, but I noted what I could. You were right, I think many of them were too nervous to come to us, but I told them to check in to Eientei so we should get a better grasp of all the numbers shortly”

“Good. Anything else to report?”

“Yes. I contacted workers in the village to see able getting their help for the expanded ward. They should be able to build and supply it within the timeframe we have if the rabbits work with them. The kappa also said they should be able to deliver the machinery you requested. We should have the most necessary equipment within a few months, and everything to fully monitor fetal development in the months following. They did ask for increased wages because they thought it was too big a job to drop in their lap. All invoices should be sent to us within a few days”

“Getting everything functional in time is our top priority, We should make sure the kappa don’t lose focus like they tend to do. We can always use future waves to fully monitor the earlier stages of development. As long as everything is on track for the inevitable rush of births it is fine” Eirin said.

Considering all the kappa that came in her lately, they better not slack off with this job, Reisen thought. “I also talked to Tewi about all the rabbits making visits to that place. We talked about how too many pregnancies could affect production around here. Of course she refused to tell them to stop, but she did at least say she would ask them to space out the visits so they wouldn’t all come on a day he managed to be, er, active down there”

“I suppose that is the best we can ask for from someone like here. Is that all Reisen?” Even without her voice changing or even any facial movement, it seemed like she was scrutinizing Reisen.


She could just tell her how Tewi seemed to want to bring Anon into her family, how she heard the rabbits fret and worry over the future of their little ones, or how they talked about baby names among themselves. There was no doubt that they’d want to pull in Anon closer to them. But what if she told Eirin? Eirin was clearly wrapped up in the HSE and would make moves to keep it running smoothly for her own reasons, scientific curiosity or not. This meant she’d squash any plans they had on tugging Anon away from that place. She’d keep things under wraps, not just for the rabbits but for every pregnant woman. It did make sense, if the truth came out the potential fallout could rock Gensokyo.

But a new doubt came into her mind. Would an entire generation of children not knowing how their father is and never being able to connect with him be better then them knowing their father was a Hakurei turned whore? What would they think of their mothers then? Anon wouldn’t take it well. He couldn’t be there for all of them, and he had no idea he had any more children at all. This was a damned mess she found herself in.

“Well?” Eirin said, her eyes unchanged, but Eirin knew to not judge what the doctor was thinking by something as simple as that.


“Oh nothing, just a bit tired” Reisen responded, eager to end this conversation.

“Get some rest then. Tomorrow you’ll be doing another check-up on Anon. The staff told me that things got too rowdy today and they want someone to see if everything is fine. I already give them enough stock to fix all issues they might come across, but it can’t help to make sure to get a better gauge of their needs over there. If that is all for now, you can leave, Reisen. Thank you for your work”

Reisen had so many things she wanted to say, but she gave a slight bow and turned to go to her room. The ache in her heart was back, stronger now. How could Eirin be so casual about this? She had to see how unhealthy it was for Anon to suffer like this, but she ignored it and treated it like any other day. Eirin must be in this deeper then she thought. Reisen reached her room and prepared for her bath, suddenly not looking forward to it knowing what would await her in the morning.
