Day 17 – Tea
After Byakuren took a sip of tea, a disgusted expression hung on her face.
“What’s wrong?” Miko asked.
“It’s bitter.”
“Really?” Miko drank some tea and looked pleased. “I think it’s sweet.”
Byakuren stared at her. “You don’t actually believe that, do you?”
Miko just smiled as she reached for the milk. While Miko poured milk into her cup, Byakuren added more tea into hers. “I thought you said it was bitter.”
“I didn’t say I hated it.”
They finished the rest of their tea in silence.
Day 5 - Rain
“I hope it rains soon,” Wakasagihime said. The sky was cloudy, but the fairies were still playing at the lake.
“I hope so too,” Kagerou replied. She sat under her umbrella by the lake’s shore.
Soon, they got their wish and the fairies dispersed. Except for the sound of raindrops, it was quiet.
Kagerou shifted closer to Wakasagihime, moving the umbrella over both of them. Wakasagihime didn’t need it, but she didn’t object. They watched as the rain made ripples.
Eventually, the rain would stop and the fairies would return. Until then, they were alone.
Everywhere she looked there was bamboo. She got dizzy trying to find where she came from. She understood why this was called the “Bamboo Forest of the Lost.” After a while she sat down and began to cry.
“Need help?” A woman in a red hakama extended her hand towards the crying girl. Despite the kind gesture, the woman had a stern face.
The girl wiped away her tears and held the woman’s hand. “Thank you,” she replied. She grabbed her bundle and followed the woman as they made their way out of the forest. The girl thought it was amazing that this woman knew exactly how to get out.
When they exited t

Like many homes in the Genbu Ravine, Nitori’s had the kappa essentials. Upon entering, there was the workshop, consisting of a workbench and empty space for large projects. To the workshop’s left was the supply closet. It contained everything a kappa needed to build, as well as some of her inventions. To the right was Nitori’s bedroom. All it had was a bed, a small table, and a wardrobe. In the back was the kitchen, always stocked with cucumbers, and the back door. In the ceiling, the electric lights would shine bright, helping the kappa work on her inventions late into the night.
That was not the case on this
Chapter 1
“Nazrin, I can’t find my spear!” Shou shouted as she ran toward Nazrin’s room. When she opened the door, she saw Nazrin playing a game with Minamitsu. Minamitsu lifted her head up to greet Shou, but Nazrin remained with her back to the door.
“C10,” Nazrin said. “Are you sure you don’t mean the pagoda?”
“Yeah, I have it right here,” Shou replied, patting herself. Each pat become harder and more frantic until she scurried out into the temple hallway.
“Hit,” Minamitsu said. She and Nazrin placed a red peg on their boards. “H7.”

Patrolling near the Lunar Capital, a moon rabbit - and soon, quite a few more in the vicinity - are down towards a mysterious, unaddressed letter brought to them. It seems that Kishin Sagume is meant to recieve it, so one of them goes ahead to deliver it to her. Without a word, she takes this unknown message and begins to read:
"Mysterious events have been occuring on earth. Lately, the lunar technology has been disassembled by earthlings and their success at applying it has been remarkable. I fear that in due time, the humans might not just be starting another invasion, but this time, they would also have powers that could let them succeed.

While Yumemi gets the lunarian machine inside her research chamber, Chiyuri leads Rika towards the sleeping rooms within the vessel, figuring she should be resting up for a while before actively joining in the disassembly and analysis of their finding. "Just give me a call if you need anything.", Chiyuri advises briefly before leaving the room, allowing Rika to recuperate for the time being.
Moments later, Rika finds herself floating in a strange, space-like environment. The lack of gravity, as well as the temperate warmth, keep Rika from suffering her wounds. "You've performed quite the interesting feats out there...", a voice calls out to

A lot of time, with a lot of incidents passed, with Noroiko impatiently waiting on a way for Rika to progress on the one hint they have gotten, staring with disbelief as Meira comes in to bring up news about ongoing incidents. "A massive drone was spotted within the area of the youkai mountain", she tells, only barely getting Rika's attention, "And it seems to be purging the area of mists and withering plants away. It is said that the lunarians are responsible for this machine." Rika perks up, walking to the hangar. "Are the shrine maiden and such dealing with it for now?", she asks, making a few adjustments to her Evil Eye Sigma. "It seems t

Eventually, the full moon rises above Gensokyo, Kurumi heading to her secluded spot to watch the moon's reflection again. The view on the capital is very clear on the days of this lunar phase, making Kurumi watch calmly as she waits for Noroiko to join her. She is rather excited about seeing the purple-haired lunarian doing a great job at fending off the invaders from the peculiar rocket.
When Noroiko wanted to come along, she was intercepted by her angel-winged friend, Matenshi. The two often spent time together hanging out in the in-between world of Genmukai, playing with each other or sharing their thoughts on events with Gensokyo. "Noroi
