> "I know! That kleptomaniac!" Meiling says.

> She then opens the gate, and mentions to follow, you do this, and, after a walk through the garden [With no apple trees], you enter the mansion itself, which is very... scarlet when it comes to the flooring, with suits of armor, no windows, and fairies dressed as maids flying around. It also looks larger from the inside.

> "Mistress doesn't come out that often, part of the parcel of being a vampire." Meling says before stopping outside stupid larger double doors.

> "The library is in here. Wait here please so the owner doesn't think you are an intruder and unleash elemental magic on you." Meiling says, before knocking, and then opening the door and sticking her head in.

> "Yo, Patchy! You alive in there! Someone wants to look for information in a book! Not steal anything. An actual visitor to the library!"

> A few moments pass, before you hear a weak voice.

> "We get visitors?"

> "Well, I guess we do." Meiling answers.

> "Koakuma's on her way... *cough* muyku~ I'm not feeling too good today..." the voice replies.

> "Yeah, sorry about that, the librarian's a sickly girl who suffers from Asthma, Anemia and possibly other things. " Meiling says.

> A demon shows up on the other side of the door. This isn't a new thing for you, you've seen demons before, far stronger ones too, from other Dream Realms. You guess this demon is summoned by the librarian.

> "So... what are you looking for? No-one except Lady Patchouli knows the Library better than me." the demon says.

> Koakuma looks a little confused for a few moments, and then nods.

> "I'm afraid I don't consult the books on Heaven much myself, as a Demon. Books on that matter are toxic to me. I know where you can find the 'Heaven' section, however... I just can't touch any holy books, or get too close to them." Koakuma says. "I recall Patchouli researching from those books a few years ago when someone from Bhava-Agra caused problems, however. She mentioned Youkai Mountain."

> The Devil starts flying off into the gigantic library, mentioning for you to follow. You note Meiling has gone back to the gate.

> "If you're attempting to claim you're a Shikigami, you don't fool me. Shinigami know how to get into Heaven, they frequently go there to try and reap the Celestials, to no avail." Koakuma says.

> "Anyway, there are several books here on Heaven, specifically, Bhava-Agra. I can't risk getting any closer to these, I'll be waiting here. Away from those books." the devil says.

>Well, let's head for the books, and look for the ones on Bhava-Agra.

(Also, it's Shinigami.)

(Shinigami, Shikigami, one letter, totally different meaning D:)

> "Well, I do read a large amount of these books. It's not easy to trick me." Koakuma says.

> You look on the bookshelf, and, after a short while, you find a book titled 'Tenkai, Realm of those who cheat death itself, there are other books that mention 'Heaven', but this one specifically mentions 'Tenkai', the Celestial Realm.

> "Who's your boss?" Koakuma asks innocently.

> As you read, you find a chapter titled 'Accessing Tenkai from the outside'. Reading it, summarized, brings this up:

'To enter Tenkai without becoming a Celestial yourself requires you to get the attention of a bored Celestial or other Heavenly resident, such as an Angel, or Dragon Envoy, and be invited there. The only place where you can be invited from is the very peak of Youkai Mountain, and you must have the intention of going there for a clear reason, or else the Celestials will not notice you. Even then, it is down to chance.

It is notable that one of the youngest Celestials, a few years ago, caused chaos within Gensokyo and it's weather, while openly inviting anyone who wanted to try and stop her, due to her boredom. If one wishes to visit Tenkai, attempting to get the attention of this Celestial, Tenshi Hinanawi, is your best option.

Of course, Shinigami can enter Tenkai uninvited, from Higan.'

> You note a footnote mentioning the page was last 'updated' a couple of years ago. You guess this is a magical book that updates itself if things change, or new things are learnt. These types of books are hardly uncommon in Gensokyo.

>Then sigh. "Well, hopefully I can get the attention of that celestial, since I'd have to go through Higan if I wanted to get there the other way. And me'n'Higan aren't on the best of terms since I flew the coop."

> "So you used to live in Higan? Yet you are clearly not a Shinigami. Interesting."

> "Patchouli? Patchouli? Is there a visitor here that you and China neglected to inform me about?" a voice rings over the library. "Sakuya just told me you let someone enter a short time ago."

> "Oh, that'll be the Mistress. She dosen't sound angry, she's probobly just bored and curious." Koakuma says.
