"Reimu and her yukkuris are speaking! Listen up easy!"
"Listen up easy!" x 31

A little farming village near the forest on the foothills of a
mountain. Being the middle of summer, it is a very busy time for the
farmers. And in the middle of their work, suddenly a loud voice
called out to them, making it impossible to not follow the voice. The
villagers stopped the farm work on their hand, and their gazes focused
on the source of the loud cry.

"Take it easy!!!" x 32

There's a group of over 30 yukkuris gathered here.

In a farming village near the edge of the forest, this is already a
very common scene.

The villagers sighed.

--------------------

"Everyone!! Listen up easy to what Reimu has to say!"

That morning in the mountains, the yukkuri clan gathered in the
forest, close to the territory of mister-humans. The plan was
suggested by the elder Reimu.

"Reimu's... little ones! Do little ones want to eat the mister
vegetables?"
"Mukyuu? The mister vegetables that are hogged by all the mister
humans?"
"That's right!! Those 'mister vegetables'!"
"Chen gets it~ Mister vegetables can really take it easy!"
"Reimu... and her little ones want take it easy too! So everyone,
let's go to mister human's place!"
"Then Marisa will go easy as well!! If we're going to haul back mister
vegetables, then it's better that Marisa brings back a lot!"
"Understood easy!!!" x 30

Regardless, if they're going to go then everyone should come along.

They will take the mister vegetables from the mister humans, and if
they don't bring back the mister vegetables then they can't take it
easy.

Marisa had suggested that in this case, it is better to bring
everybody along so that they can bring back a lot of mister
vegetables. The group that is gathered here is the hunter's core
group. They are considered the heart of the clan.

Upon deciding what to do, the group went to prepare to go over to
mister human's village that very same day. In any case, there are no
other yukkuris in the group that have remotely considered the
possibility of whether or not the humans will give up their share of
mister vegetables.

"Mukyuuun~~ Marisa, Patchouli has finished making mister lunch box~"
"Daddy, chake id eajy!"
"Yun~ Little one. Look forward to tonight's mister dinner~ "

Even if you discount the mothers that took care of the little ones...
The expedition party, around 30 yukkuris, is about 1/10th of the whole
clan's size. There was no further planning from the yukkuris for the
expeditions... well, that's yukkuris for you. The atmosphere was very
relaxed, and it seems like they were taking it easy. There's sounds
of yukkuris humming care-freely in the air, as if they were going on a
nice field trip as opposed to an expedition.

"Marisa will..."
"What's wrong? Marisa."
"Marisa's little one is growing right now, little one needs lots of
nutrition. Marisa wants lots of mister vegetables..."
"Don't worry! The little ones in the clan will for sure be able to eat
to their hearts content!"
"Understood easy, ze!"

.... But in reality, there is absolutely no need for these yukkuris to
go on an expedition to the far away mister human's place for their
mister vegetables.

The Elder Reimu that planned the expedition force had heard a rumor by
chance, a rumor spread by the yukkuris in the forest. The rumor had
said that the mister vegetables from mister humans were very easy, and
that the selfish mister humans had special very easy places that they
were hogging all to themselves. On top of that, those mister
vegetables were supposedly extremely tasty compared to the produce of
the mountain. A very, very easy food that can let the yukkuris really
take it easy.

A rumor from the yukkuri clan from the other side of the mountain, a
rumor that had not took it easy and started like a wildfire.

Taking it easy for the sake of taking it easy...
Mister humans too, want to take it easy more...
Reimu just wants to munch-munch on mister vegetables...

Of course, the farmers cannot understand that logic and explanation at
all, so they were confused and annoyed at the yukkuris.

With that reason behind their trip, the elder Reimu led the yukkuris
to the small farming village at the foot of the mountain.

"Give Reimu and her yukkuris some mister vegetables easy!! Reimu wants
to take it easy too!"
"Give it up easy!" x 31

The products of the forest belong to everybody in the forest. This is
common knowledge amongst all the yukkuris in the forest, set even
before elder Reimu's time. This request is not an unreasonable one in
their eyes.

But the only one that had some hesitation was the elder Reimu. Reimu,
having led a longer life and experienced more things, had at least
thought about some consequences.

" (....Reimu shouldn't even have to ask... mister humans shouldn't
have hogged all of it in the first place...)"

The whole purpose of the expedition was to bring back mister
vegetables no matter what. Even if there were no plans to fight the
mister humans, there was a thought that they would need an
intimidation factor when the expedition force goes to negotiate with
mister humans.

In any case, these are all the fully grown adult yukkuris that Reimu
had remembered to bring. With this, there will be an unsaid pressure
behind the words of negotiation, and Reimu and her yukkuris would be
at an advantage for the sake of this "diplomatic" visit. Maybe Reimu
would be a wonderful emissary.

"....."

The villagers, giving the yukkuris a dirty look, took 10 young men and
walked into a small warehouse.

"Yu-Yun!! That's where the mister vegetables are!? Easy!"
"Now the little ones would be able to munch-munch a lot!"
"Mister humans could really take it easy!"

Mister humans, having not said a word yet, seemed to have at least
come to terms with the negotiations. The yukkuris, very satisfied
with the completion of their objective, were content. Elder Reimu,
her thoughts filled with the happy faces of her family, the clan's
little ones and the satisfaction she herself would surely feel after
eating the easy mister vegetables... began to think about their easy
future.

"(Yufufu. Now Reimu and everyone would be able to take it easy more.
It's a good thing Reimu and her yukkuris left the forest to come all
the way out here.)"

But, the people who exited the barn were not holding mister
vegetables.

The 10 men who have came out from the warehouse were holding big
wooden drainage boards that were mostly used in the flooring of
bathhouses. They took the boards and covered up the escape route
behind the yukkuri expedition group while the yukkuris wondered what
was going on. All of a sudden, the forest yukkuris realized that the
road that they would take to get back to their easy place was blocked
off by a wall of wooden boards.

And then, taking the remaining half of the boards, the villagers
blocked off the farm that was opposite of the wall. The villagers
over here have picked up something. Sticks the thickness of arms,
sticks that have small rubber grips that resembled clubs or baseball
bats. The forest yukkuris, looking at the faces of the villagers
holding said clubs, noticed a very subtle change in the air around
them.

... the eyes of mister humans looked like the eyes of a dead
yukkuri...

"Take it ea-"

Splat!

Marisa, unable to stand the silence between the yukkuris and the
villagers, spoke up. Just as soon as she did, the stick was swung
down hard on top of her head.

Elder Reimu, looking at the destroyed figure of Marisa before her
eyes, couldn't understand what was happening. Bathed in the shattered
bean paste of Marisa, she wanted to understand what was going on
behind this uneasy situation, but her head was blank. There were no
thoughts going through her paste brain on what she should do in this
situation.

It's not just Elder Reimu. All the other forest yukkuris froze, and
five, ten seconds passed before someone moved, and one voice spoke up.

The Chen sitting next to the broken Marisa was picked up by a
villager.

"Tell me where your easy place is."
"C... Chen doesn't [*Splat*] .... Bi...?"

Seemingly noticing the uneasy situation before them, the yukkuris were
about to reject this treatment when the villager slammed Chen into the
ground with the force of both of his hands.

"C....don....get...."

Chen, smashed into the floor and landing foot first, splattered open
on the bottom, her feet shattered into small pieces and her filling
covering the ground. Her two eyes have popped out and flew towards
god knows where. She twitched, but no matter how you look at it, it's
a fatal wound.

The forest yukkuris looked at what the fate of Chen, and they slowly
understood. But, stunned by the turn of events, none of them were
able to speak up. Then, the Alice that was next to Chen was picked up
by the very same villager.

"Want to tell me?"

"T.. .That's not city- [*Splat*].... Bya....."

Before Alice could finish her sentence, she was thrown to the ground
and landed on the back of her head.

"C...ountry....bu...mpkin..."

Alice's eyes popped out like Chen's. A fatal wound. The only
difference between the shattered parts of Chen and Alice were from
their landing vantage point. Alice's back of her head was shattered,
as opposed to the foot on Chen.

The villagers didn't hesitate. There was no participation in the
negotiation. Nobody cared about the suggestions or the thoughts from
the forest Yukkuris in the first place.

And then, next to Alice, it's Elder Reimu's turn.

"Now you. Want to tell me?"
"Yu...gi...."

And then, Elder Reimu, who hasn't spoken up until now, cried out in a
loud tearful voice when the man lifted Reimu above his head, ready to
slam her into the ground.

"YUUUUUAAA!?!? REIMU DOESN'T WANT TO FALLLL!!!"

The response that the villagers had hoped for.

The villager passed Elder Reimu to another man that was standing
behind him. And then he turned around to ask the rest of the forest
yukkuris one last question.

"Now. Any other yukkuris that want to tell us?"

Around 10 yukkuris that answered "want to talk" went up to the man,
and rubbed up against the villager's foot. They survived. And the
rest of the yukkuris...

"YU! [*bonk*] Yu! [*bonk*] .... Mister wall!!! Please moveee!!!!"

Ramming against the wall uselessly.

"Yuuuuuaaaaaaa...... Get away easy..... go away easy...."

And then, trying to escape from the villagers with the threat of death
looming behind them.

"YUUUUU!!! Everyone!!! Marisa will protect everyone!!! PUFF!!!"

A puff-puff that took all of Marisa's strength, trying to scare away
mister humans. Of course, this is a useless gesture.

Splat! Splat! Splat!
Splatsplatsplatsplatsplatsplatsplatsplatsplatsplat

Slowly beaten by bats and clubs, pummeled into the ground until she no
longer felt the hits. Completely smashed into pieces.

=====================

A little while after, in the yukkuri's easy place...

"Munch~ Munch~ Happiness~"
"Little one, such a messy eater... lick-lick"
"Yun~ Refreshed! Id tickles eajy!"

The parent yukkuris and the koyukkuris that had just finished lunch,
taking it easy in their nest.

This newly formed clan was formed back in early Spring by about 10
yukkuris. After that, because of the signature yukkuri move of
"refreshing + have lots of cute little ones", there are now about 80
fully grown adult yukkuris. If you count little koyukkuris then there
are about 300 yukkuris. A medium sized clan that will for sure
continue to balloon in size.

If they continued giving birth to koyukkuris at the pace they were
going now, then the size of the clan will also continue growing.

"T... The eajy place... is here..."
"..... hm."

The 10 villagers had brought their own clubs and shovels used in
industrial work, following the Elder Reimu to their easy place. Their
faces frowned in disgust as they saw the easy place.

As far as the eye can see, a big empty space. But, near the bottom of
the large trees that grew in the forest, there are little holes that
served as entrances to a yukkuri house. All of the holes have been
covered up by messily piled together sticks and little rocks. The
rocks and sticks that block the entrance is called the "boundary". In
this forest, besides yukkuris, no other animals will create this sort
of contraption. Because of the lack of trees in the area, there are
also slanted corridors dug into the bottom of large rocks as well.

At a glance, there's at least 50 nests in the area, possibly more.

If they didn't come at noontime, there will be other yukkuris that are
out walking about and they will be spared. If you take into account
of the time you need to chase down startled yukkuris, there are
concerns on whether they will be able to return to the village by
sundown.

So the villagers began their work quietly.

"Yu~n. Daddy hasn't came back yet, je."
"Mukyu-mukyu. It's still afternoon out, little one. Wait easy."
"Mukyunnn. Badchouli also looksh forward to mishder vegedables~"

At the bottom of this particular tree is a family of Patchouli that is
waiting easy. The pair of koyukkuris waited eagerly for Marisa to
come back. There is ko-Marisa and ko-Patchouli, and there are five
other baby koyukkuris that were born just a few days ago as well.

"Snore-snore-.... Mukyuri...."
"Yubi~~ Yubi~~~"
"Mukyukyu~ Little shishders are daging id eajy. Big shisder also dage
id eajy~"
"Yun~ Undershdood eajy~"

The baby yukkuris eat, then sleep. A very easy job to grow up easy.
On top of that, the sleeping faces of their little sisters were a very
easy existence for the big sis koyukkuris. ko-Patchouli, looking at
her little sister's faces after eating lunch, rubbed up against them
and fell asleep, eagerly awaiting the mister vegetables for dinner.

"(Mukyunn. Patchouli and Marisa's little ones. What easy little
ones.)"

Crack. Crack.

Then, mother Patchouli heard some footsteps coming from outside.

"Mukyu? Marisa?"

Looking back to see whether it was Marisa that came back...

Stab!

A tick stick pierced through the "boundary" and flew straight into the
house, piercing through mother Patchouli's right eye.

Not slowing down at all after penetrating Patchouli's right eye, it
went straight through until it stopped after piercing through the
small mound of food stores.

"Mu....kyu?"
"M... Mommy?"

And then, just like how it pierced the house, the stick was withdrawn
with the same force. Mother Patchouli fell forward with the force of
the withdrawal, her remaining left eye staring at the ground, her body
shivering and shaking. The ko-Patchouli and the baby yukkuris, waking
up from the sudden noise that echoed through their easy place, were
shocked to see their mother in the state that she was in.

"M... Mommy? Rub-rub... rub-rub... dage id eaj-"

The eldest ko-Marisa moved towards the mother Patchouli that lost her
right eye and began to rub-rub, speaking up with her little voice.

Stab!

Above Marisa's head, a second strike pierced through the room.

"Yu.... Misder hat.... Marisa's...?"

The mound of collected food again stopped the stick. Ko-Marisa's
ripped hat dropped to the floor sadly, along with the golden hair and
the curl of skin that carried with it a heap of bean paste...

"Y....YUBIIII!?! Big sis's head disappeared!!!!!!!" x 5
"M...ri....sa wan....it...."
"MUKYUUUUU!!! MARISHAAA!!! Yugu-"

Marisa's little family was not allowed to cry.

Stab.

"Bi....!?!? Yubi-"

Stab. Stab.

"....!!!... !?...."

Stab. Stab. Stab...

Never resting, the stick punched holes in the mother Patchouli's body
along with the koyukkuris and baby yukkuris, as if life itself was
forbidden in this little easy place.

"... Family.... Marisha... will... protect..."

In the rain of stabs by the stick, little ko-Marisa had somehow
survived. The mother Patchouli with her big body, the koyukkuris and
her little sisters that were unlucky enough to be hit directly were
immediately killed. Only ko-Marisa's head was shaved away, but she
was in a critical state. Two unharmed baby Marisa and one baby
Patchouli dragged her into the bed with all their strength.

"Yupi.... Big Shishder, we will led big shish dage id eajy."
"W...wait eajy..."

Will... protect...

"Yun. Dage id eajy." x3
"Yu... will bring... big shish... choo an eajy place... wait eajy..."

But, the terrified little baby yukkuris started dragging the bed out,
the words that their big sister desperately tried to get them to
listen to fell on deaf ears. And then the baby yukkuris saw two large
poles near the entrance to their house.

"Y... Yu? Rub, rub."

The baby yukkuri have never been outside of their nest even once.
However, they have looked out many times, and these two big poles were
not part of their memory.

Of course, that's the villager's foot.

"Yun? Yugu-"

And the instant when the three baby yukkuris looked up, a giant flat
piece of metal fell upon them.

Splat.

"Eaj... waid.... id's dange.....yu?"

The three little sisters that had used all their combined strength
saving their big sister just minutes ago. The three little sisters
that used all their energy to help their big sister, their accessories
and bean pastes were stuck to a shovel.

And then ko-Marisa, as if her heart died, broke down and fell into a
sleep that she never woke up from again, a drop of tear falling from
her eyes.

Three minutes after that, the easy place that was once the home of
Patchouli and her family was filled up with dirt, buried by the shovel
that took the lives of the three little baby yukkuris. The two baby
yukkuris that had lost their accessories, the ko-Patchouli that had
received a fatal gouge on her tummy and is on the verge of death
couldn't even scream as they were buried.

They will become nutrients for the tree.

====================

That Patchouli's mate, Marisa, might be more fortunate in comparison.
The very first Marisa that tried to talk to the villagers, destroyed
in one clean hit without ever realizing what was going on. The very
first Marisa that had lost her life. Because up until the end, Marisa
had worked for the sake of her family, for the clan, as part of the
expedition force, and took it easy without seeing anything besides her
goal.

Compared to the Elder Reimu that had survived, Marisa will never feel
the incomprehensible pain that they will go through.

"Hmph."

The two villagers that had brought Elder Reimu along stood silently,
staring at the large rock formation that was surrounded by plant
growth. In the space between the big rocks, one can see the entrance
to some sort of house. Of course, the entrance were covered by sticks
and pebbles, and there were no doubts at all. It's a yukkuri-house.

".... eajy...ajy"
"...mu.... misder vege.... eajy..."

In the house, it seems like the family is completely unaware of the
sounds coming from outside. They never noticed the danger outside
either.

Elder Reimu couldn't take it easy at all.

"Yuuuaaa!!! Stop it!!! Let Reimu take it easy!! Let Reimu's honey and
little ones take it easy!!!"

The villagers noticed this commotion, and understood why Reimu was
making a big stink. The wriggling Reimu was dumped into a cage face
down, her mouth stuffed and gagged.

The villagers were used to the yukkuris' methods anyway.

Yukkuris are weak to Rain.

If they dig a shallow hole on a flat floor, on a rainy day the family
of yukkuris will be completely decimated. That's why they will dig
holes near areas where the vegetation is rich. Of course, the houses
built like this will not have a very thick top. The villagers walked
behind the entrance for about half a meter, knocking on the floor all
the while. After they have confirmed that there is a hollow point...

"Daddy!! Weimu wantsh choo hurry up and munch-munch!!"
"Hurry up and bring back mishder vegetables!"
"Little one!! Daddy is working hard for the sake of the clan!! Wait
easy!"
"YUUBIIIIIII!?!!? WHY WOULD JOO SHAY DHATTTT!!!?!?" x 8
"Yunn. Mawisha wanted choo go too..."
"Yufufu, it's ok. Little one, daddy is the leader of the clan. Daddy
will bring everyone to mister human's place some day."
"Undershdood eajy!!"

In this house, Elder Reimu's other half: mother Marisa, 8 energetic
baby yukkuris and the little Ko-Marisa that bore the hopes and dreams
of the clan as the possible future leader. The proud little one of
Elder Reimu, a suitable leader, taking it easy with her family.

Even the interior decorating were befitting of the leader of a clan.
The bed was made up of many smooth round rocks ferried over from the
river, lined with layers of dry fluffy grass. There are a bunch of
clean flat rocks that were used as tables, and the house even had a
small room next to the storage area (called the kitchen place), rooms
that would normally be absent in a yukkuri house.

This comfortable house is probably the only one of its kind in the
whole forest, and there are no others like it in the whole entire
clan. Also, the dry fluffy bed is specially made out of fragrant
grasses for the koyukkuris, and the grass is normally used by birds to
line their nest. The baby yukkuris can dig themselves into the warm
fluffy nest and sleep soundly, sort of like chicken eggs being nestled
closely together in a hen's nest.

"Yubibibi... eajy..."
"(Yufufufu. What an easy sleep-sleep. Little ones, take it easy.)"

Thinking that thought, mother Marisa looked at her little baby
yukkuris's sleeping faces as if they were little angels. Like high
quality eggs packaged carefully by hand, it seemed as if the bright
future of the clan shone through these baby yukkuris.

Bonk. Bonk.

And then from the ceiling, a weird noise echoed through the house.

A familiar noise that everybody knows. The sound of the Elder Reimu
returning, the support pillar of the family hopping over the house.

"Yun!! Reimu's back!"
"Yu-waiii! Dage id-" x 9

Crash!!

At that instance, the shovel penetrated the ceiling of the house.
Mother Marisa, her head covered by the falling dirt and coughing like
crazy, felt a strange cold object that was pressing against her right
cheek.

And then, when she turned to look on the right, she saw that a giant
metal board had sliced her cheek wide open. But compared to that,
there's an even more un-easy scene before her.

The shovel that had pierced through had landed squarely in the middle
of the baby yukkuris' bed. The dirt sluiced off the crumbling
ceiling, falling on the bed that the baby yukkuris were sleeping in.

"Little... ones...?"

The shovel was yanked out of the ground forcefully, and there was the
sleeping faces of two baby Reimus, looking as if they had undergone
the "Now, please eat up!" self-splitting procedure, split cleanly down
the middle.

"Y... Yu... Yu... YUUUUAAAAA?!?!! Little one!!! Don't do 'now, please
eat up!'!?!? Little ones can't take it easy then?!?!"

Crash!!

Before the mother's eye, the shove once again stabbed through the
ceiling. This second time, the ceiling that was pierced by the plus-
shaped hole completely collapsed, the raging torrent of dirt and rocks
toppling directly onto the bed of the baby yukkuris.

"YUUAAAAAA!!!?!? WHYYYY!!! WHYYYY!?!?"

Mother Marisa didn't notice the reason why. In comparison to that,
there were more important things before her eyes.

"Little one, mommy won't take it easy and will save little ones!!!
Wait easy!!!"

The scene before mother Marisa's eyes was a collapsed ceiling that had
buried the baby yukkuris alive, their wounded bodies wiggling and
moving painfully, but visibly in the dirt. It's hard to say whether
any were killed by the weight of the falling dirt, but the only thing
to do right now is to try to save everyone. Not using her teeth in
fear of hurting the koyukkuris, mother Marisa used her tongue to
carefully shovel apart the dirt.

Splat!!!

And then her eyes were filled with the image of a man's foot stepping
through the dirt.

"Saving eas..... Yu?"

When the foot lifted, the only thing left was a big footprint and
nothing else. Before mother Marisa, there was nothing that moved.

"Y... YU YUUUUU!?!?? Liddle ones....?"

After that, the shovel was stabbed through three or four more times,
each stroke stripping away Mother Marisa's layers of denial and hope
like the rapidly collapsing roof of the house. Marisa felt her body
and mind torn down like the ceiling.

Most of mother Marisa's body was buried in dirt as she stared blankly
at the shovel's work, one last scream snapped mother Marisa out of her
despairing trance.

"YUGYAAAA!!! Running away eajy!! Eajjjyyyy!!!!"

The one that watched the ceiling collapse, her mother getting sliced
apart and the roof burying her little sisters. The one that survived
and didn't speak up, the little Marisa.

Because the collapsed roof had formed a small slope, little Marisa had
made the decision that it is time to try to escape with all her
strength.

"Run... away.... little one.... even if... its just...."

Running. Running. Little Marisa ran.

The flurry of blows from the shovel had stopped some time ago,
seemingly opening up a passage for the little ko-Marisa.

"Marisa... Marisa is spesheul!! M.. Marisha will become the clan's
boss one day!! Eajy!!! Eajjjjjyyyy!!!"

And then, the only thing that the ko-Marisa saw as she reached above
ground was the human swinging his shovel like a golf club.

Splat!

The dry sound of a manju slamming against solid metal echoed in the
wide open space above ground.

Mother Marisa, looking up as the shovel began to stab downwards once
again, saw something that looked like the ko-Marisa's hat and some red
stuff that looked like bean paste stuck on flat surface.

Mother Marisa then fell silent, her heart dying in the process. After
that the shovel stabbed into mother Marisa two times, three times with
the pointy end first. On the fifth time mother Marisa took it easy
forever. On the 10th time, the parent-child family were completely
mixed in with the dirt around them.

Elder Reimu's family is treated equally with the rest of the clan
members, in the sense that they have all lost their futures.

================

Elder Reimu, in half a day, had lost her past, her future, and all her
"easiness". In the end, they didn't even get one leaf of this
"mister vegetable". Her clan, her treasured family were all taken
away from her. Of course, Elder Reimu's life is no exception.

The survivors along with Elder Reimu were killed in the same manner as
the initial sacrifices. Slammed into the ground, beaten to a pulp
with clubs and shovels. There could only be one result the moment
Elder Reimu decided to negotiate with mister humans.

"YUUUUUAAA!!? Reimu wants to dage it eajy some moreYUGU-"

Splat!...

Splat!! Splat! Splat! splatsplatsplatsplatsplat

================

".... phew."

The villagers sighed. Of course, that's understandable. Since the
start of spring, this is the fifth time that yukkuris have invaded the
village. It seems like they have to do this once a month. Still, the
extermination just keeps going and going...

On the other hand, if they just left the yukkuris alone, the damage
done to the crops would be terrible. If they hadn't agreed with the
terms of the negotiation this time around, the yukkuris would return
in the evening and at night, invading regardless of the time of the
day. Even if the farmlands are completely fenced off, they will dig
holes under the fence, or use their soft bodies to wiggle their way
through cracks. If you're talking the size of the koyukkuris, then it
is absolutely impossible to completely yukkuri-proof the area.

The only result that awaited the farmers was the hellish scene of the
damaged vegetables crops that they had worked so hard to grow.

.... They need to get to the root of the problem. Today, the
villagers also held their head down between their hands.

Translation notes:

This is the first part of a 2 parter. The illustration on OYP is
about part 2. I haven't read the 2nd story so I have no idea how it
ties in to this first one though. (or why there's a monstrously
strong man)

One thing people might not be too familiar with: The "Now, please eat
up!" split that was discussed a long time ago on 2ch and on OYP as a
last resort for the yukkuris for when they run out of food and death
is imminent. The parents will willfully split themselves up into
pieces so that the koyukkuris can eat them, and the cuts are
symmetrical. The shovel hit is suppose to emulate the clean cut, so
the mother was mistaken about the koyukkuris splitting themselves
up.

Example: http://bbs.shii.org/yukkuri/post/view/14730


Any questions and clarifications, as well as comments... please feel
free to post it up. I will start working on pt2 tomorrow.

I really hate Yukkuris.
It makes me feel really damn sad for the farmers in these sorts of
"invasion" stories. Usually the setting is of poor farmers before the
modern era, but even then the damn yukkuris are destroying their only
livelihood.

Please, continue, and thanks.

I want to read/see the damn buggers suffer.

It's part 1. The source is revealed in pt2, which is also what the
image in oyp is based off.
