Touhou Lyrics: The Positive and The Negative

(SPEAKING, FEMALE)

Come around everyone, i have a story to tell

This is a story that will last a lifetime

A story of a maiden named Reimu Hakurei

And the beginning of her tale in the world of Gensokyo

Now is she ready for the story of Eastern Wonderland

(FEMALE)

Every day and every night the prayers get more responsive

Would you take a dimesional dream over the lotus land

Is this the mystic square or is it the psuedo paradise

Fighting the Devil you'll never have time to look at the blossoms

(MALE)

Spend too much time flower viewing and youll end up missing power

The night is eternal when you shoot at the faithful land

In the subterranean world the wars are unidentified

Spoil the desires of a rhapsody or a masquerade

(BOTH)

This is our hisou, our ibun, and our deal

Its impossible, and legendary, and it will leave our legacy

The common flowers shine as bright as the four seasons, leaving but a creature of a violet market with an curious hermit, a forbidden sinner, and a detective lotus grimore

Perfect Memento in Strict Sense: Pages 112-116 - Heroic Legends: Reimu Hakurei

Shrine Maiden of Paradise

Reimu Hakurei

Occupation: Shrine Maiden

Ability: Flying in the air

Residence: Hakurei Shrine

The current shrine maiden at the Hakurei Shrine, which lies on the border of Gensokyo.

The Hakurei Shrine exists to watch over the Great Barrier necessary to the present Gensokyo, and the Hakurei shrine maidens resolve incidents for a living, generation after generation (*1).

Out of the generations of shrine maidens, her sense of danger is the most lacking and she has meager training, yet her power is considerable.

She's exterminated multitudes of youkai with her keen intuition and her natural good luck.

Personality

She's unusually easygoing and lacks any sense of danger. She treats everyone in the same uninterested manner, neither kindly nor harshly.

Perhaps as a result of that, strong personalities tend to like her, while weak youkai fear her.

However, her opinion regarding youkai is that exterminating them on sight is her job.

Ability

She has the power to defy gravity and fly freely through the sky.

Nothing can tie her down.

In addition, she has abilities as the Hakurei shrine maiden.

The Hakurei shrine maidens manage the Great Hakurei Barrier and watch over Gensokyo.

If the Great Barrier were destroyed, either from inside or out, Gensokyo would likely not fare well.

Gensokyo relies on the Hakurei Shrine and its shrine maidens to preserve the form it exists as today.

As a result, no youkai oppose them.

Due to her easygoing appearance, it's impossible to tell whether she realizes this or not, but the Hakurei shrine maidens really do have all of Gensokyo under their thumbs.

Spell Card Rules

Without a way for any youkai to defeat the Hakurei shrine maiden, many youkai felt that their meaning to exist had disappeared, but by taking some ground-breaking measures she solved this problem.

That is, the introduction of the spell card rules.

The spell card rules are dueling rules that allow both parties to show off their skills in a beautiful competition.

The major points are:

*Spell cards are techniques specially-named by the individual, and they must be declared upon use.

*The number of each party's spell cards must be determined in advance of a duel.

*The first party to have all of their spell cards beaten must admit defeat.

*The victor is entitled only to what was agreed upon before the duel. If they're not interested in what their opponent has to offer, they can refuse a duel.

*Winners should generally allow losers a rematch.

*Always prepare for the unexpected.

Following these rules allows for duels that feel almost like sport.

With the introduction of these rules, it became possible for even relatively weak humans to challenge youkai.

At the same time, it became possible for youkai to freely defeat the shrine maiden without worrying about the consequences.

Everyday Life

When an incident is not occurring, she is a very ordinary human (*2).

She lazes about the rarely-visited shrine, pretends to clean it, and drinks tea.

She's often seen going out to shop in the human village.

If she catches sight of a youkai on the way, she will surely teach them a lesson.

In this way, she's different from a usual human.

Job

She is a specialist in incident resolution.

When an incident occurs (*3), her usual carefree attitude vanishes, and she immediately investigates to resolve whatever matter is at hand.

Although the Hakurei shrine maiden was initially the only one who resolved incidents, these days, there are many imitators who go out to resolve incidents as well.

The Hakurei Shrine seen from the Outside World

Since the Hakurei Shrine stands on the boundary of Gensokyo from the outside world, one can go to the shrine from either world.

But it normally isn't possible to pass between the two worlds.

People from Gensokyo can go only to Gensokyo's Hakurei Shrine, and people from the outside world can go only to the outside world's Hakurei Shrine.

It's said that the Hakurei Shrine seen from outside is a desolate, uninhabited shrine which no one visits.

Before the Great Boundary was created, the shrine was not as empty as it is now, but it was also not built up to the same scale as the Gensokyo one.

It's said that the Hakurei Shrine in the outside world has mostly been abandoned since the boundary was created.

Incident Resolution Cases

Scarlet Mist Incident

The incident when all of Gensokyo was covered by a red mist, and the light of the day could not reach the ground.

This incident was caused by Remilia Scarlet.

She disliked the light of the sun, and covered Gensokyo in mist.

At this time, it's said that Reimu went to the Scarlet Devil Mansion alone, and resolved it quite forcefully.

Once the perpetrator came to light, the Scarlet Devil Mansion instantly became infamous.

Spring Snow Incident

The incident when it continued snowing even after winter ended and spring came, and the flowers did not bloom.

The details of this incident are not widely known.

She heard that the perpetrator was in the Netherworld, then taught her a lesson and resolved things, somehow.

Although no relationship between the Netherworld and the long winter has been proven, it's true that she noticed something most people didn't, saying "Didn't you see that cherry petals were blowing from the Netherworld?"

Eternal Night Incident

In this incident, night lasted for an extended period of time, and dawn did not come for a while.

Although she claims that she also solved this incident, if one asks her about the cause or the perpetrator, she'll only respond with ambiguous answers.

It's an incident with many mysteries and no records of the details.

The Great Barrier Incident of Sixty Years

The Great Barrier is composed of many smaller boundaries, both illusionary and not, but every sixty years it undergoes a period of weakening.

Recently, the second period of this cycle occurred, and a number of smaller incidents sprang up around Gensokyo.

This is the sort of incident that would resolve itself somehow if left alone, but it seems that she was ignorant of this fact and set out to solve it as usual.

The Vampire Incident

Originally, attacking humans was the point of the youkai's existence, but since the erection of the Great Barrier it's become difficult for them to do so, and they've had to find sources of food outside their normal choices. Consequently, the collective willpower of the youkai began to fall.

It was into this situation that a powerful youkai from outside, a vampire, appeared, and quickly amassed a great number of subordinates.

In the end, the vampire was defeated through the efforts of the most powerful youkai, and a settlement was reached through a contract that placed a number of prohibitions on the vampire's activities.

Some of the more willful youkai found these terms distasteful and entered into discussions with the Hakurei shrine maiden.

The shrine maiden, who was also tiring of an uneventful lifestyle, agreed to the youkai point of view that some battles were necessary.

The result of this were the spell card rules, which allowed duelists to seemingly stake their lives in individual combat (*4).

It's said that the raucous Scarlet Mist incident caused by that vampire was the first time the spell card rules were put to use.

Since then, various incidents have occurred with moderate frequency that have had no lasting effects.

The game ends once a victor is decided, although the shrine maiden likes to have rematches until she wins.

*1: Because they can't expect to survive on offerings.

*2: She may even be more easygoing than most people.

*3: "Incident" means a phenomenon that affects all of Gensokyo and is of unknown cause. Typically this is due to some youkai's whimsy or the doings of a newcomer.

*4: It appears various other rules were also considered, but as the beauty and volume of danmaku especially appealed to youkai and women, they aren't as popular.

"Miss Reimu, apparently there's a national criminal fairy by the name of Daiyousei who is tearing Old Hell from the inside, she already took Sensei and Miss Satori out, and using Cirno as a ragdoll, please help-"

Oh boy! She's so happy to see Chloe approaching her shrine. One of the few people in Gensokyo kind enough to visit just to say hello rather than just coming to tell her there's some sort of problem they need her to take care. She can't wait to hear what she has to say.

...

...

"Why is she named Big Fairy? Is she some sort of legend of the battlefield?"

#alchemistdetective #eternal flower maiden ~ reimu

[gensokyogarden]

"Hey guys I need to go on a business trip tomorrow. Don't worry I'm gonna ask my cousin to watch over the shrine while I'm gone, Yukari's delivering the letter to them right now. So be nice to them while I'm gone."

"Oh hey Chiyuri! How have you been? You look great!"

"But you gave me Ruukoto. Besides, you're a super scientist. Can't you just make a new one?"

Reimu hoped that they could solve this without conflict but the sudden burst of bullets implied otherwise. Her feet lifted from the ground as she shifted from one side to the other. The danmaku grazing by her as she did so.

"But Yumemi, I beat you as a child. Do you really want to find out what I can do now?"

#gatheringfantasies #eternal flower maiden ~ reimu

[gensokyogarden]

She carefully reads over the letter that had floated down the steps. Some kind of youkai shogun? What an unexpected occurrence. This was the first time an actual incident had appeared since she began the journey to understand her true heritage. Would she get the opportunity to demonstrate those abilities now?

"Oh man, I hope that I get to fight a dramatic battle throughout the castle where I drag them further and further from their throne."

#eternal flower maiden ~ reimu

[gensokyogarden]

"If we were Mortal Kombat characters I would be Liu Kang and Sanae would be Kung Lao."

#eternal flower maiden ~ reimu #Can't believe Sanae gets to be the best character like that

Reimu, honest question. Has your gohei been growing?

"It is not a nice question to ask a woman if she's gotten bigger."
