As you pass the frame of the Backdoor leading to the Hakurei Shrine... you suddenly plummet down into some wooden boxes!
"WOAH!"
You crashed into them. The Backdoor was a bit deceiving, as it showed you the exterior of the Shrine, only to end up throwing you into one of the buildings! Damn that... that...
Wait, what was her name again? The secret god, the one you literally just met. How is her name escaping you right now? You... you just had it...
"Don't tell me..."
She messed with your memories, somehow. That's the only thing you could chalk it up to right now. Had to be, you don't just have a name on your tongue one minute and then lose it the next all too suddenly like that. This god wasn't playing around, she has erased her name from your mind, or maybe you weren't able to take that memory of her name with you outside her realm.
Whatever the case, you pick yourself up and grunt as you push the double doors of the building you ended up in open to go outside.
And instantly, a wand is leveled at your face.
<span class="mu-i">"Alright, what's the big idea?! Breaking into my storage isn't something I'm gonna forgive easil-... h-huh?"</span>
"Nice to see you too, Reimu." You nonchalantly say, using the tip of your finger to move the confused Miko's gohei out of your face.
<span class="mu-i">"Y-You?! You're back?! But I thought I sent you home! How can you be back so soon?!"</span> She questioned.
"Well, first off... how... long has that festival been over with?"
<span class="mu-i">"Mm...? You mean... the festival we threw after sending you back? It's been almost several days since then."</span>
Your suspicion was correct, time IS convoluted here. Something was really amiss with that.
"Long story, or short story?"
<span class="mu-i">"Short,"</span> She grumbled with a huff; <span class="mu-i">"-it's been a long day and I just want to sit back and drink sake."</span>
"The secret god came to me again, and offered to let me visit. Uhm... it's real fuzzy, but if what she wanted me to believe was right, the reason I was taken is because she wanted my help with something."
She raised an eyebrow at you, as if really wondering, 'that's it?'.
Reimu sighed.
<span class="mu-i">"Well, I guess I'll have to tell Reisen that whenever she gets back. She and Marisa have been hard at work trying to track down this secret god again. I've been busy asking around, but not much turns up."</span>
"Where are they now?"
<span class="mu-i">"Not in a place humans like you can survive in. Last I remember, they took off a day or two ago to find the way to the Dream World so they could pass into it physically. Me? I'm waiting to hear back from a contact of mine who runs the Kourindou store down from the Village to see what he knows."</span>
Oh, a 'he'. How rare.
