Touhou Ankoku ~ Rise of The Eternal Dread

One Thousand Years of Unsettled Match: The Oni Who Seeks Thrill!

Hakurei Shrine

"Haah, these stairs are so annoying. Wait till I can land perfectly." Rain huffed as she finally reached the top and rested at the torii gate.

The calm winds blow her hair and clothes as she went into the shrine.

"Hey, Reimu. I'm back! Got a big fish that you'll surely enjoy!" She said as she entered but there was no response.

"Huh? Did she go out?" She looks for her in other rooms but there's no sign of Reimu.

So Rain puts the basket at the kitchen and went outside again. This time to ask the guardian who is always here. Aunn Komano.

Aunn can be seen sitting just near the porch when Rain saw her.

"Hello Aunn, have you seen Reimu?" Rain asked her.

Aunn greeted her with a smile. "Ah, miss Rain. Miss Reimu is currently out in the moment." She said.

Rain did remember Reimu saying something that she'll be busy today.

"Did she said anything about where she is going?" Rain followed up a question.

"Well, she asked me to take care of the shrine while she is gone and that she'll be going to Sanzu River."

Rain have heard about that location. She knows that it is where the dead souls go and must cross to reach Higan.

"Eh? Why would she go there? If I recall correctly, the dead goes there but Reimu does not belong to that category." She puts a finger in her chin.

"I don't know but I think it is something related to her work." Aunn said.

Remembering the fish she brought back. Rain asked the guardian.

"You haven't eaten yet, right? Well, since we don't know when she'll be back. I guess, I could make a sashimi. I'll give you some after I made it. See you, Aunn. I'll call you in when the it is done." She cheerfully said and unintentionally pats Aunn's head.

Aunn didn't dislike that but also thanks her for the offer and continued her lookout.

Rain hums as she's preparing the fish to be made. She already removed the parts that needs to be removed the only thing she must do now is to cut it up into fine pieces. Currently she is wearing an apron to which the back of it has a ribbon style of tying.

"La~La~La~ Gonna make some sashimi for me and my buddies." She then unsheathes her sword and then placed a plate on the table. She then grabs the big fish and tosses it in the air and in a flash she displayed her sword skills and the fish is now finely cut into pieces as it landed gracefully on the plate. Who said that sword techniques are only for defending and attacking? Clearly not.

She then heard claps and looks forward. The four fairies that technically is their neighbor showed up. She didn't noticed them as she is occupied.

"Oooh! That was cool!" Sunny said as she tries to mimic the way Rain moved.

"Yahahah! What would you expect from a human that's strong?" Clownpiece laughs with a smug on her face.
