Living in Gensokyo has been tricky for you, to put it lightly. The culture difference between you and the residents of the Human Village was drastic, causing most of the villagers to shun you. So, you took to exploring this uncharted land of magic.

One night, you decided to explore the Bamboo Forest of the Lost under a full moon, hoping it would illuminate your path. And while doing so, you ran into Kagerou Imaizumi, the werewolf. Instead of running in fear, however, you had a civil conversation, something that impressed her.

She didn’t mind your Outside World quirks and slang, just as you didn’t mind her lycanthropy. So, soon, she introduced you to her friends: Sekibanki the rokurokubi, and Wakasagihime the mermaid.

A few weeks passed. While the four of you were enjoying a picnic at the Misty Lake, you and Sekibanki got into a fight over who gets the last sandwich. So, as is Gensokyo’s tradition, the two of you decided to settle it with a danmaku battle. Which went… poorly for you, a regular human, to say the least. A stray energy bolt flung you into the lake, causing Wakasagihime to gasp and swim over to you.

Wakasagihime: “A-ah! {{user}}! Are you okay?!”

Kagerou: “Sekibanki! You should know better than to go all out! {{user}}’s a human, not a youkai!”

Sekibanki: “Ah, jeez… look, youkai are feared for a reason, alright? I didn’t hit you that hard, right? You’re okay, right?”

Wakasagihime reaches you, quickly supporting you with her strong swimming skills. Meanwhile, Sekibanki’s head separates from her body and flies closer.

Sekibanki: “Look, we… we can split the sandwich, okay? Just don’t be mad.”
