"Eh... some questions are probably better left unanswered," said Beats, doing his best to avoid eye-contact with Komachi. "Tell me." Komachi took on a sterner tone. "I'd rather not." "TELL ME." "I *said*, I'd rather-" "TELL ME OR I'LL TAKE YOU TO THE HELL OF BLAZING FIRES *THIS INSTANT*!" Beats paused, seemingly unfazed by the psychopomp's ire. "...Wouldn't that be going against the Yama's ruling?" he pointed out. "Yes, but I'm so far into her black books that I might as well do whatever I please." Komachi was all but crying at this point. "Well then you know why I don't want to tell you what she said about you - even if the defendant can't be convicted out of their own mouth I sure don't want to give a person with a scythe a reason to be angry at me." Komachi sighed and slumped down in her boat. "I know, I just... I hoped that she might have at least *one* good thing to say about me." Beats winced at his own honesty, but it had to be said. "Although, to be perfectly frank, you do kinda bring it down on your own head. Like the Sword of Damocles or something." "Dharma-what?" "Never mind. Look: if you're so tired of suffering misfortune-" (Beats did a quick check over his shoulder to make sure nothing was rapidly spinning towards him; the coast was clear so he moved on.) "-as a result of slacking off, surely the simple answer is to slack off *less*?" "I know, but..." Komachi glared at the waters of the Sanzu as though they were the sole cause for her misery. "I know it's a stupid idea, but I thought it might help Shiki-sama be less... well..." This time it was Komachi's turn to look over her shoulder. "...you know... if she took the stick out... people might like her more, right?" Beats tacitly acknowledged this, but not too strongly. There was no way to tell whether the Yama might actually be listening. "So you thought bringing her fewer souls might teach the Yama the virtues of slacking off and she'd learn to be more easygoing?" "Exactly!" Komachi jumped up in excitement almost causing the whole boat to capsize. Once equilibrium had been restored, Komachi continued: "But the fewer souls I bring in, the MORE stressed she gets! It makes no sense! What kind of person feels more at peace when they're stressed?!" Beats shrugged. "She's just that kind of person, Komachi: she feels happier when she's got her hands full. Maybe she just likes feeling useful, I don't know? Either way, it would seem that changing her nature is a futile effort. Perhaps it would be of more benefit for you to try and look at things from *her* perspective?" "What, and learn the joys of lecturing people whenever I have free time? No thanks. I've got a pretty good reputation amongst the people of Gensoukyo and I don't intend to lose it." Beats frowned. "Do you? Popular opinion seems to be that you're a lazy slacker." Komachi hefted her scythe, the glint in her eye scarily close to the glint of sunlight off the edge of the blade. Beats suddenly wished he'd paid more attention in swimming class. But then Komachi's shoulders sagged. "I guess you're right. But at least understand that I slack off with good intentions!" "Well you know what they say about good intentions." "What?" "You mean you don't know?" "Is this that Dharma thing again?" "Forget about that. They say that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions." "No it isn't. In fact, it isn't paved at all." "I know, but - never mind. The point is, good intentions can sometimes be used to rationalise unwise actions. Do we agree on this?" "I suppose..." Komachi pouted and crossed her arms like a berated kid. "Right. In that case, it's best to try a different approach and rationalise your actions based on the results rather than your intentions. So, what do you think you should do?" "..Bring in... more souls... I guess..." said Komachi grudgingly, looking sideways. "Right! So if you just drop me off at the courthouse, I'll wait there for the first load." Beats blinked. "Oh, by the way - the Yama said that I could wear whatever I wanted as long as it was professional, but I got kinda blown up before I could find a suit. I don't suppose there's a change of clothes at the courthouse, is there?" "Only Shiki-sama's outfit." "So I'm stuck looking like a loli for the next three days." "Looks like it," said Komachi, not even *trying* to disguise her amusement. "Right. May I be permitted a short yet violent exclamation?" "Knock yourself out." "FAHK!" "Feeling better?" "Not by much, but it'll do for now. Oh look, we've reached the other shore just as the conversation is drawing to a close! Isn't that convenient?" "It's said that the Sanzu has high levels of narrative awareness, being the River of Death and all..."
I liked it by DQ Syphonic Suite songs, and that few seconds of a Chrono Trigger OST.... nothing more...your little story about enma`s vacation is.. weird and hard to understand at all... at least you tried... xD good for you that you know some few about Koichi Sugiyama...
That's because beats got sick of Touhou and fed up with its fanbase pestering him and removed all of his Touhou illustrations and removed the ability to comment on his Touhou videos, replacing the description on all the Touhou/Walfas videos with "This video is an overrated pile of crap. Don't ever talk to me about it".
This got a few layers of meta real fast
Rip.
Can we have part 2 for 200 please?
Yatsuhashi Daichi
I would support that but eh, it's been way too long so is probably forgotten.
There was plenty of opportunity and stuff
Hleghe true

That's an useful choice !!
So, Yamas can judge computers *w* ?
Still one of my favorite skits....
The Fire has been defeated.
Good work really, I like it.
I just wanted to give her a hug
Speaking of witch (surprised she didn't steal anything)
Don't worry Komachi, I'm sure she'll forgive you; After all, you're very important to her. She just won't admit it.
This video was why I subscribed in the first place. I loved the 4:59 part, simply amusing :D
Please continue this, it's hilarious.
I loved this. Ever since Skikieki looked at the computer, I knew it was going to get messed up. (because it actually did)
*playlist*
I didn't even notice that typo until I read the description. =D
Ah, this was just like my own vacations: it went nowhere.
2:49 I can't stop seeing this part...
Loved the part when Komachi made googly-eyes at beats XD
"What will you do?
Tell the truth
Lie
To be continued"
Please tell me you really do intend to continue this eventually...
why isn't there a part two. i think this will make a good story. and i want to give poor komachi a hug at the end.
you know I love you used beats in this, if you made this voiced skits that would've been awesome ^^
5:25 they're not really in need, but whatever.
I would personally recommend a "alright fine but you're not sending me to hell when I die"
lol, random Marisa. Can't wait til the next part.
@GinchanSalin Nothing really important though; Just says "assignments..."
Biochem Oxidate out the Flaking....
1:55 Laziness, right. XD Poor Ko though, she done got her feelings hurt from that statement. Edit: 2:50 And one for the honkabaroos.

Actually Komachi call Enma Eiki-sama.
Please make a part 2
I liked it by DQ Syphonic Suite songs, and that few seconds of a Chrono Trigger OST.... nothing more...your little story about enma`s vacation is.. weird and hard to understand at all... at least you tried... xD good for you that you know some few about Koichi Sugiyama...

"Suspense! Will Komachi regain the love I mean trust of her employee?" I'd like to find out ^^. Would be great if you'd continue this one.
1:53 Something awoke in me in that moment.
SHEEET YOUL NEVER RETURN

This should be continued, as the option suggested.

"You and your... *pingas* laziness"
Awesome.
I would've taken the job without any convincing... I THINK I can judge... Maybe...

8:36
looks like marisa stole beats sppech bubble...
lol marisa at 8:36 XD
If you see this uploader, I want to say the link provided in the discription no longer works
That's because beats got sick of Touhou and fed up with its fanbase pestering him and removed all of his Touhou illustrations and removed the ability to comment on his Touhou videos, replacing the description on all the Touhou/Walfas videos with "This video is an overrated pile of crap. Don't ever talk to me about it".
what a dumbass
I LOLED I LOLED I LOLED BOY DID I LOL XD
that was awesome :D
what did Marisa steal at 6:36 ?
3:18 and this as well...
Need......Part.......TWO!!!!!!!!! xD
There's was one but I think it got deleted or made private.
tsssk... screw that kind of people. If your videos have fans then DON'T delete it, dumbass -_-
Oh god. I saw 5:00, and I literally had to clamp my own mouth shut so I wouldn't wake people up.
Where do you come up with this stuff? xD
I want part 2 man
As Enma-sama told me,NO.
Enma-sama! I'm sooo sorry, I had no Idea!! *Puppydogeyes* Would you forgive me? Pleeeeease!!!
Does anyone else find Beats' death ironic?
Is there a part 2? :3
the last part of the video, is it even interactive?
I thought here name was Eiki Kiki? O.o
Her full name is Eiki Shiki Yamaxanadu
1:54
Is that your youtube character icon? at 5:00
2:22 that text is pretty illegible, it's small and has a bad background
Will this be continued?
I love this video!
LOL 2:23 MOUSE
who was that at 5:00.
no
So when did beast0me give you permission to use his character in this
Sometime before he got angry over the fans of his tough videos I'd assume.
Also, the DA link no longer exists.
'Enma' means 'Yama'?
Even in you transition FOE! (bad)
5:00
