Otherworldly Escapade

The Girl in the Shadows of History

A/N: This chapter will contain a lot of hints and information. As always some of the hints are present in the past chapters. Though a reminder that some of characters are a bit unreliable in their information. So it is up to you who to trust on their take. They maybe are correct or incorrect perhaps even half-right. Anyways, thank you for reading and maybe you can piece together the clues about what's to unfold in the upcoming chapters.

Hakurei Shrine

This place is nice and quiet. One can enjoy the serene atmosphere and have a nice cup of tea by the porch of the shrine. All while enjoying the view the shrine has to offer. Indeed this is the best place for such people.

Reimu said that no trouble will come to Rain if she just stay here. Hence, why she was grounded in the first place.

'No trouble, my foot!' Rain mentally said as she and the two sudden visitors sat at the table.

The silence between them is quite awkward as only the sound of the sipping of the tea could be heard.

"Ah, this tea is great. It beats the one served at Hell. Really perfect for those who are working. Hmm... maybe I should call in my other two selves so they too can enjoy such a tea?" The woman with the modern appearance said as she contemplates but eventually decided not too as seeing how it would be too crowded.

'She's way too hard to read. Just who are these people?' Rain said as she takes a sip of her own tea.

"Ah, my bad. If the rumors are true then you don't remember me at all. Makes me kind of sad that you don't. Oh well, at least this time we're having a proper introduction. So allow me to introduce my name. I'm Hecatia Lapislazuli, I handle the Hells of the moon, earth, and otherworlds. In other words, I'm its goddess."

Hecatia Lapislazuli [Goddess of Hell]

A somehow eccentric god who governs many Hells. Despite her appearance and personality, she is but a different level and capable of unique schemes.

"Well, over here is my friend. Junko. She's a little salty about our plan not working out as intended but she'll get over soon." Hecatia gave a smirking smile.

"Ugh... that's not how friends introduce each other." The one called Junko remarked. "As she has said, I'm Junko. I'm just being dragged here by her and to satisfy my own curiosity. I'm a being capable of ending you if I will it." Though that may sound a like a threat this is her way of introducing herself.

Junko [Sagacious Spirit]

A somewhat divine spirit that is capable of purifying anything. She's not the type to beat around but instead goes straight to the point. It is said that she is fueled by her own pure fury that she can be ruthless at times.

Looks like Reimu was half-right about what she said that Rain would meet.

So the pressure that Rain was feeling was because these two are apparently beings that pose immense threat. She made the right decision to humor them instead of fight now, talk later.

"There's no need to introduce yourself, miss Rain. After all, we have but met and I already told Junko about you. Hence, why we are here." Hecatia said, her eyes remaining locked with Rain.

"Perhaps if we have her on board at that time maybe things would have turned out different." She added as she referenced the past incident where the Lunarians are involved.

"Excuse me, but you keep telling me about how I know you...how exactly if you could tell me." Rain said with a polite tone. If what is Hecatia saying is true then it is best to not rub on her the wrong way.
