I frowned slightly. "What do you mean by that?"

  Akyuu adjusted her posture, folding her hands neatly in her p. "I am the Child of Miare," she began, her tone calm but firm. "My duty is to record the history of Gensokyo, to ensure that the knowledge of this nd and its people is never lost."

  I nodded slowly, recalling that Keine had mentioned something like that before. "So... you want to write about me?"

  "Exactly," Akyuu confirmed. "You may not realize it, but you've already made a name for yourself. A magician who arrived from the outside world, fought the Scarlet Devil, and possesses a unique power. That is more than enough to warrant a record in Gensokyo's chronicles."

  I leaned back slightly, considering her words. "And what happens if I refuse?"

  She smiled. "Nothing, really. But people will continue to talk about you, and the stories will grow wilder with time. If I record the truth now, it will keep the facts straight."

  I sighed. "Let me guess—if I don't tell you my story, you'll just end up using the nonsense from the Bunbunmaru Newspaper?"

  Akyuu gave a knowing chuckle. "Aya's reports do make for entertaining reading, but I prefer accuracy."

  I groaned. "Great... So, what exactly do you want to know?"

  She picked up a brush and prepared her parchment. "Everything."

  I fell into thought, wondering if I should really tell her everything. If people knew about my ability, wouldn't that make it useless?

  ...Well, forget it. I didn't really care about my ability being exposed. As long as I didn't reveal exactly how it worked—especially the part about needing someone to disbelieve my lies—it wouldn't matter.

  I exhaled and looked at Akyuu, who patiently waited, brush poised over her parchment.

  "Alright," I said. "I'll tell you my story."

  Akyuu nodded, ready to record. "Let's start with your name."

  "Mirage Carl," I answered.

  She wrote it down neatly, then looked up. "And your title? Most people in Gensokyo have one."

  I smirked. "I guess 'The Trickster Magician' would work."

  Akyuu nodded in approval and continued writing. "Now, tell me... how did you come to Gensokyo?"

  I took a deep breath and began to tell my story, as Akyuu recorded every detail in Gensokyo Chronicle —the history of Gensokyo, written by the Child of Miare.
