Man, I love this guy's Okuu. So cool and badass, yet extremely childish. And what was the point of throwing her floppy disk away? Trying to make a cool exit?
And finally, Iku comes in. After all the hijinks Tenshi's been up to, you'd think she'd have come sooner.
She dropped it because Cirno accidentally hit her while sitting up. I agree this is quite entertaining. I like how he used the floppy disk as a plot device to explain Okuu's sudden rise in competence.
Amazing how these seemingly disconected comics actually form a story. Tenshi started a church, with Cirno as follower (because the celestial overpowered the faerie way back in post #613068).
I'm interested on seeing how this story develops, even if 90% of this interest is checking if the huge negative karma Tenshi is gathering will return to bite her in the ass.
Raigeki said: oh how badly Tenshi will fall one day.
Would be interesting to see that, but her escaping such karma seems to be a running joke with this artist so I wouldn't hold my breath.
More importantly, I'll be calling down the rain right now.Place the core of the flowing atmosphere above this land!If anything, it's that cloud!
Why is it coiled up over there and not coming here!?
...Heave ho.Say, Okuu.
You're good with heat, right?All of them, at once...- OkuuThud!Aah... why...
How could this be happening...!?However, it'll be bad if it keeps being hot.
- OkuuNo. Have a look at the ground.
It's all dusty and dried up.
- OkuuThat's true.
I can see cracks too.
- CirnoThe rain which is necessary for the paddy fields... for the rice to grow has not been falling down recently.
- OkuuBut what's with this current state!?
Is there no god in this plagued land?!Anraya, hondaraAnraya, hondaraO gods that dwell in heaven.I'm fine putting up with this act...
...but I can't guarantee to call the rain down.Gods in heaven!No worry, no problem!
No nothing!
That's life, it's all right!Lyrics for "Wonderful Opportunity" by B'Z, the biggest rock act in Japan. Refer to this linkAnuttara samyak sambodhi!
Anuttara samyak sambodhi!However...
It's a religion's duty to do this in order to relieve them...
But in actuality, they're only looking for the benefits.Oooooh!Nuah! O gods of the clouds, hear my plea and...
- TenshiGod of the clouds!It's useless after all.
Ah, speaking of which...
It's that snake and frog at the Moriya Shrine!
Are they playing a trick on me!?I wonder if Tenshi-san will be all right.
- OkuuBut will it be all right?
Won't it stand out?
- OkuuThis is... rather hard to control...
If the fire power is not enough, they'll remain as ice...And if it's too strong, they'll evaporate...
Plus, even if they become only liquid, it'll be meaningless if it's hot water...H-Hoppy?
What's that?That's right!Master! You've just been giving us fireworks since the beginning, but we won't be deceived!We won't accept such a sun-shower!It seems to have gotten a little misty, but what we want is rain!What he said!Hmm, if that's how it is, if only that... umm, that messenger from the Dragon Palace...
What was her name again? I'm sure she's from the Nagae family...- TenshiIf I'm right, ... yes, that's Nagae Iku... the messenger of the Dragon Palace...- Okuu...No, she's the servant of the ruler.
And I... I've decided to do this by myself...
I can't stay in my parents' shadows forever...
- TenshiAah!Ah, ah, true enough.Look... Hasn't it been good weather these days?Eh? Why?
Will everyone melt too?
- CirnoWas it a lie when you said that we wouldn't have any problems with water and our harvests would be plentiful!?Yeah!Hold it right there!
- TenshiDom!
Dom!Dom!
Dom!Hinanawi Tenshi's MiracleTitle from PixivYou tricked us!
What happened to that promise from before!?
If this goes on, we'll have a bad harvest this year!We'll starve to death at this rate!Umm...Well...Hurry up and call down the rain!What's going on, Okuu?
Why is everyone angry?Why on earth would you call down rocks on the field!?Yup. It's been very good.There aren't any problems with water for those gathered at the Moriya Shrine!That's wrong.
This place is the Hakurei Shrine.If you go to that accursed Moriya Shrine...
...won't you end up in bones?Can you really do it?We're going to pay homage to the Moriya Shrine right now!If you're not going to give us any answers...
All right, let's go, everyone!Ah? This place wasn't the Moriya Shrine?Guide me to the field.We worship thee with our faithful hearts.
Help the people of this land.
Grant thine blessed rain onto this land that thirsts for water.Anraya, hondaraDom!
Dom!Ah! Okuu!
I got a good idea!Eh?Listen!
I'm going to make ice, see?
I'll be making a lot of icicles.Yup!
- CirnoI see.
So no one will find out even I've slipped in a ball of flames or two.
- OkuuOh well.
There won't be any progress even if I keep doing it today.
I've done a lot of things anyway, so it's time to go home!
What's impossible is impossible!
Tehe☆Unbeknownst to me...Eh?
What is this?
Why?We joined because we didn't need to worry about rain as long as we believed!U-Umm, since you all have requested it, I'll be calling down the rocks soon...It's been all good with me sending shots upwards and swinging towards the sky for a while now...
...but I look ridiculous here...I see...
If I melt the icicles you send down with heat, it'll be raining...
- OkuuIt's not like you said!
Hmm...It's raining......This is literally the bed of nails...One of the self-inflicting meditation methodsSend it down!What are... you saying?
Tenshi... is in trouble...
I can... at least do this...Hmm.
It's actually thanks to you, Cirno-san.Now, slant thine ears to the wishes of the spirits living on this land......This is no joke at all...!Also, just how many icicles will we need to make for it to resemble rainfall...?- OkuuHmm? The size of the ice is starting to get uneven.
Is Cirno-san tired as well...?Cirno-san!
- Okuu...Huhu.
That's right...
And Tenshi'll cry again...Eh?Eh?
Where am I... going?Eh... I don't know...
Huh? Okuu, where's the floppy?It seems like those two have lent some help...
But this is adding oil to the fire...
No, more like adding water to the oil...
I was expecting an evening shower, but that seems to be impossible too...Well, with these clouds, it should rain anytime now.
Now to think up an excuse... I mean, a concluding sermon for today...Bang!Ooh...But this will be the last time I will need to do so.As expected from Hinanawi-sama's supernatural power!Here, Okuu.Icicles... hmm, but we don't need ice right now.
We need rain... water...It's going to be okay.
Since Tenshi has been sending up a lot of fireworks for a while now.
- CirnoJust as I thought!
This is too much for you!But even so...
...you'll melt as well!
- OkuuEh?
Where are you going!?ClatterUmm...
"Everyone's effort is gathering up! The blessings will soon be upon us!"
...That should work. And now, for the conclusion...Heaven!
Why won't our voices reach thee!?It's a miracle...
Just as we wished!Eh?Eh?...The first daughter has found some good friends...What is so amazing?
Why is everyone happy about the falling rain?Just take it anyway.Okuu?What's wrong, Okuu?Are you... spacing out again?
Is it because of the ice?
- CirnoAhaha.
I'm all right.As always...
...I need to do my job...Okay.
- OkuuSo that's it... Fufu.
It sure is befitting to call her the one with the power to read the atmosphere.- OkuuAh!Eh? Hmm.Thank goodness it's really raining!
As expected from Tenshi!
She's amazing!I'm the goddess who governs over the pulses of earth and the thunder......Hinanawi Tenshi!They're also the ones that govern over the rain and wind...
...Even if I can only talk to them...
...I'll make them acknowledge it no matter how impossible it is...!Something like rain and wind...
...are beyond my control to begin with.I don't know this Testa OssanTesta-Ossan-Donaishitemanen. Seems to refer to a meme about a fraud Testarossa......We're not praying enough yet!
- TenshiHeat?
Yes, I can somewhat control it by using nuclear energy.
- OkuuThat seems to be likely...
I'm just controlling the balls of flames, but Cirno-san has been exerting her energy in a nonstop marathon...
Even for a fairy, this burden is...They've been evaporated for now.
It'll be dangerous if they remain as icicles.
Even so...
...while it was a good idea, I have to think up a different method...
- OkuuNow that I think about it, I was bestowed with this power...Cirno-san!
I'll be leaving for a bit...She's said to be able to manipulate the atmosphere.
This will be possible if I can ask for her... Huh?
Isn't it more like reading the atmosphere?
Well, she should be able make the rain fall.
Or else, I'll be in trouble.
If only I could call upon her...- TenshiOooh!
It's rain!
It's rainnn!That I haven't noticed this until now...
That I have misinterpreted my own power......I had the power to govern over even the thunder!Amazing!
As expected from Tenshi!I need to meet the goddesses of the Moriya Shrine......Hah, it seems like that's no longer necessary...- OkuuI see, so Cirno-san's vapor has joined with the available clouds...- OkuuStill, even if there are clouds, for it to rain is... Hmm?- Okuu
