Finally, the trip gets moving along faster, with Mokou still taking the lead through the gargantuan Bamboo Forest of the Lost, and you in front of Kagerou in the line, holding your relaxed Kedama. The fluffy white creature was basically almost asleep in your hands.
At the pace you're able to walk, with the others keeping around the same speed out of courtesy, you know this trek may take a bit after all.
"<span class="mu-i">So... So you're really an Outsider, and have never been to Gensokyo before! I've really wondered just how different Outsider humans like you are from the humans here in Gensokyo, like the ones who live in the village, or Mokou herself. We never really get to learn much about Outsiders before they're gone.</span>"
You blinked at that, looking right into the back of Mokou's impressive hair length. "Ah... Sorry, I didn't realize you were human too."
"<span class="mu-i">Don't think much about it, you're not the first.</span>"
"What's... what's your deal anyway? You're making, like... fire from the palms of your hands! How do you do that?!"
<span class="mu-i">"I've picked up a few tricks over my life, is all."</span>
<span class="mu-i">"Mokou won't open up about it right away, but she's completely invincible, and an immortal human who can never die!"</span> Kagerou informed you.
"I-Immortal...?!"
The fiery girl in red pants rolled her eyes as she walked on. <span class="mu-i">"It's true. I've been alive well over a millennium at this point."</span>
That sounds, on equal terms to you, incredible, but also disturbing in a way. You happened to count yourself in the batch of people who didn't look at immortality as 'all that'. Not being able to die, sounded pretty scary to be honest. You silently wondered if this meant she was going to be alive forever, even after the sun blows up in billions of years...
Might not be the most comfortable topic to explore right now, however, so you keep silent until Kagerou tapped your shoulder.
<span class="mu-i">"So, what's life like for you back in the Outside World? Tell me something interesting, I'm really eager to hear it!"</span>
You should make some friendly conversation until you get to this 'Eientei'. But about what? You weren't sure what topics these... fantastical people might like to hear. You guess you can tell them anything really.
>What will you talk about concerning the Outside World?
