Guiding Reimu through the backdoors was a daunting task. Travel too quickly, and Aya would leave the miko behind in the constantly shifting maze. Travel too slow, and Aya’d be uncomfortably close to the aura of violence radiating from Reimu’s every pore. Yet, it was exhilarating. This might be the end of the nightmare! With Hana at risk, Reimu would have to fend off Yukari. Alice’s house was Mima’s territory, so the gap hag was out of her turf. And with Yuuka and Sanae on her side (at the very least, to protect Hana), the fight was a done-deal: The HSE’s mistress was toast! Sure, there was the sword in the Underground and all those kids, but Anon would finally be free and Yukari’s connections would crumble! She couldn’t wait to see the battle that would finally bring this incident to a close!

Just a few doors away from Alice’s home, a sharp pain in the tengu’s crotch stopped her dead in her tracks.

Reimu stopped just past her guide, clearly annoyed at the setback. “Come on, we don’t have any time to waste! Every second that bitch is with Hana is another I should’ve prevented!”

“J-Just give me a second! You can’t blame me for being nervous in this situation!” The pain started to fade. Maybe this was just a really early contraction and she still had another few hours before the real ones started. Focusing as hard as she could on her destination, Aya led Reimu through a couple more doors while gritting her teeth. When the second contraction came, it was enough to send the reporter to her knees.

Reimu tamped down her rage just enough to show concern for the tengu. “What’s going on with you?”

Ah, she’d be a fool to ignore it any longer. “Listen up, because I only have enough time to say this once: Keep heading straight and pass 3 doors, then take the crappy-looking one on the right. In half a minute, it’ll bring you straight to Alice’s porch. Now go!”

The Hakurei miko hesitated before a flash of recognition passed through her eyes. “Got it. Take care, Aya. I’ll see you after we’re both okay.” No further words were needed as Reimu left the reporter behind to take care of her own daughter. A door slammed shut in the distance while the tengu recovered her bearings. Aya sighed a breath of relief, trying not to focus on the fact she was stranded in the Land of the Backdoors while her body was betraying her. Fortunately, a set of footsteps was approaching her. Unfortunately, Aya recognized whom they belonged to.

“You know, it’s rude to to invite guests into someone else’s domain without their permission. It’s also quite rude to leave a mess around for them to clean up when they’re expecting guests of their own.” Okina held up one of Aya’s pipe bombs before chucking the metal tube behind her shoulder. The device let out a fiery cloud of splinters and hot metal scraps, barricaded a few feet behind the pair by an unseen force. “See? Now Satono has to clean all of that up while Mai is still trying to figure out the difference between the duds and the real deals. Your carelessness is cruelty to another.”

“I sincerely apologize and I won’t do it again. Now, could you give me a hand? I-”

“Give YOU a hand? You do realize how many favors you’ve been asking for recently, right? Even letting the Hakurei miko through my demesne is out of line, and now you need another boon?”

“Matarajin, I genuinely don’t have time to shoot the shit right now!” Business relations be damned, the last thing Aya needed tonight was Okina chewing her out while she was in labor.

The goddess asserted her presence, stepping forward and looking down on the crumpled tengu at her feet. “Neither do I! A good host must entertain her guests and handle unsavory characters, a task I’m burdened with simultaneously. Now, pick yourself up off the ground and— is that blood between your legs?”

“You JUST noticed?! Yes it is, oh wise and powerful ruler of the Backdoors, and I’m going to give birth right here in your ‘demesne’ unless you do something about it!”

Okina jumped back, a look of clear disgust on her face. “Augh! Ew! Deal with that with your own kind!” Summoning a plain doorframe, Okina forced the dimension-linking gateway to pass over the tengu, leaving only a red stain on the floor as proof of her existence.

Aya appeared in her own room, unceremoniously shot out of a window onto the floor. Still unprepared, the tengu opened the door into the rest of her home to start preparing towels and other home remedies. No way in hell she trusted Eirin. Stumbling into darkness, the lights flicked on by themselves, revealing balloons, gift boxes, a great big banner saying “CONGRATULATIONS”, and a horde of tengu. Of course Megumu was at the front of the crowd as they all yelled out “Surprise!”

Aya went down again. The simultaneous blows to her brain and uterus were too much.

Me too! I hope a beautiful baby crow tengu will come out of the egg soon!

Aya is a good mother!

Lots of effort and pain.
