"He's not here?" says Yuyuko. "Now isn't that strange~"

The ghost princess gives Youmu an enigmatic smile as she speaks those words. She licks her lips as she waits for the half-ghost to react. Yuyuko seems to be enjoying this, for some reason.

But this half-ghost hasn't the time for these foolish games.

"Very well," says Youmu. "We are going to search for Vincent together."

The half-ghost sneers at Yuyuko coldly.

"No one eats until we find him," she adds.

"W-what? Wait, are you serious? Y-you can't do that!" cries Yuyuko.

She grabs Yuyuko's wrist and pulls her closer. The ghost princess gasps slightly in surprise. Her deep maroon eyes meet Youmu's icy blue gaze.

"Lady Yuyuko," says Youmu. "You know something. I can feel it."

"Err... I haven't a clue to what you are talking about~" returns Yuyuko.

Youmu tightens her grip slightly as she takes a few careful breaths before speaking.

"Where is he?" she asks sternly.

"I-I said that I don't know," replies the ghost princess. "S-stop it! Don't look at me like that!"

"Please," whispers Youmu.

"..."

Yuyuko sighs heavily as she gently pulls away from the half ghost. She straightens up her kimono carefully before she speaks.

"Ara~ I didn't expect you to worry about him this much," she says.

Youmu feels herself blushing, but she stays silent.

"Vincent is fine," Yuyuko continues. "At least, he should be. Humans like that don't die very easily."

"Where is he?" repeats Youmu.

A moment of silence passes between the two.

"I don't know exactly," replies the princess of ghosts. "But wherever he is, I'm sure that he is being useful to Gensokyo. A hero must go to where he is needed, after all."

Yuyuko pauses for a moment, as if remembering some distant memory.

"In fact, he sort of reminds me of -"

Suddenly, she shakes her head.

"Never mind," says Yuyuko, a fresh smile upon her face. "You don't have to worry about him right now. So let's go back and have breakfast~"

The ghost princess starts walking back to the dining room before Youmu can reply. The half-ghost opens her mouth to protest, but then closes it. She understands that Yuyuko won't say anything more than this. The conversation is already over.
