> "I that thing went kablooey, they wouldn't be a Gensokyo to have an incident." Hatate said.

> "All I know, is someone left me a letter. I don't often leave my office and house, but the person who left the letter did it while I was using my Spirit Projection."

> "Fine, but I dount you can get anything from it. You can't keep it, it's evidence." Hatate says, pulling the letter from the draw.

> You read it:

Yo Sunny

Can you just mkae the big mas of nuclear energy up there go? Take a holiay or somethng? I kinda would like it if it vanihs so I can show myself up there and everyone will love me for it! I'm bored...

>"Wow, even I can barely read it, and I used to be pretty bad at writing. But apparently the person who wrote it wanted to take a vacation or something, and the reactor was keeping them from doing so."
>Who do we know who writes like this aside from Cirno?
>Who do we know is tied to the reactor in any way?

> No-one. In fact, this is worse than Cirno.

> The Kappa, Rika, and Utusho.

>"Okay, so we know that since the kappa are way smart, they wouldn't write like this. So it's gotta be either Rika or Utsuho, maybe. And Rika's been missing for a while, so it couldn't have been her. So that only leaves one person, Utsuho. I'll see about asking her, would you be able to make a copy of this so I can check? It'd be pretty nice to touch base with Yuugi and everyone down below again too."

> "Utusho... hmmm... well, we Tengu don't deal with the underground. Nor do the Kappa. You see, that's where the Oni live, and they used to rule over the Kappa and Tengu, so we don't like going down there. That and Crow Tengu like me HATE being underground." Hatate says.

> Hatate snaps the letter with her camera, and then a copy forms from the screen. "Done."

> "Yeah, do get into a fight with an Oni and not come back." Hatate sneers. Despite her co-operation, she isn't fond of you still.

> "Get an infection from Yamane then." Hatate says.

> You decide to head for the underground. It takes a while, since the blowhole is pretty far away, but you get there in good time, and begin to descend.

> "H-Hello again." you hear, seeing a floating bucket with a tuft of green hair and a pair of eyes sticking out.

> You know her name, although you can't recall if she told you or if someone else did or if it was from the Bunbunmaru. She's Kisume.

>"But where's my manners? I didn't even introduce myself! The name's Rumia."

> Kisume watches quietly, muttering "Scary..."

> After you introduce yourself, she pulls out a slightly aged copy of the Bunbunmaru from her bucket.

> "I know who you are..." she says, pointing to the picture of your true form fighting Shinki.

> She pulls out another issue, even older, back from the Scarlet Mist Incident, showing a not very glorified picture of you getting being up by Reimu.

> "I keep back issues in bucketspace." Kisume says quietly.

> You reach the bridge, and notice Parsee isn't there, as a result, you go onto the Ancient City.

> You can see Satori's Palace, but you hear a hearty voice cry.

> "Long time no see! You sure grew up!"

Yuugi Hoshiguma
The one who makes mountains tremble

> You see Yuugi standing on a roof with her sake bowl.

> Yuugi laughs heartily.

> "A fish?! Fish can't even drink like Oni!"

> "Anyway, I can feel you're a lot stronger. I can control supernatural, and you feel a lot more supernatural than before. So, if you wanna keep on in this city, I wanna check something."

> Yuugi spreads out her arms.

> "Gimme your best shot. Hit me as hard as you can. Not danmaku, physically. I wanna see how strong you are now. I saw your power when you were unsealed."

> "If you're too scared to take a free shot on a Deva, then you shouldn't be down here after all. I'll even tell ya why Parsee wasn't on the bridge if you impress me."

> "Oh, you learnt some martial art skills? Unexpected." You hear Yuugi say.

> Then you punch Yuugi in the gut as hard as you can. She dosen't flinch or spill a drop, but you do hear her breathe out on impact a little.

> Yuugi breaks into a grin.

> "Yeah, that's enough to knock most people on their rears. Of course, I'm not exactly possible to knock around except by my Deva buddies. There's only three who can give me a run in a fistfight after all!"
