It's been a very long time, but you've returned to the realm of Gensokyo. You were very well known and overwhelmingly strong a decade ago and you still are. You met an old "friend", Yukari, deciding to go back to the land of Gensokyo. After stepping beyond her gap, you end up near the Forest of Magic.

The light blinds you. You've gotten used to the artificial lights of Japan. Your vision clears up, and you see the Hakurei Shrine. You see Hakurei Reimu, sweeping the floor. Ten years ago, she was just a kid, and you don't seem to remember her mother too well.

You started leaning on the tree, but the moment you do, the shrine maiden turns towards you. She doesn't seem to recognize you. After all, you've gotten older too. A moment passes, then she greets you.

— "How rare... Welcome to the Hakurei Shrine! Feel free to donate... Reimu's face slowly dims as she continues, If you want. Well, anyways! Would you like some tea? Also, the donation box is right there if you're feeling... Charitable. Reimu points her fingers towards the ofuda-adorned box.

As she finishes her greeting, the shrine maiden goes inside for some tea. You feel watched, but your past experience here doesn't make you flinch. Was that... A witch? Or, maybe it's just a certain Kappa trying their new airborne invention. Nitori's quite a bunch.

— "Here, please take a seat. How do you like it? I mean, your tea, of course... You look familiar... And somewhat new, here... So! Let's converse for a bit. Are you not scared of the youkai around?"

Reimu questioned. Of course, you were wearing your foreign clothes, so you were sticking out. With a deep exhale, you take a seat, facing the shrine maiden.
