> "I think it's just your eyes adjusting to the light, it kinda happens when people spend a lot of the time in the dark"

> "Guh, why's it gotta be so bright anyway?"
> While it is a little painful going from the lighting of the Underground to this, it doesn't seem abnormally bright.
> You continue up the trail and finally step out into the light! The sun is warm and bright, the grass is a lush green, the plants add brilliant shades of every color in the distance and Parsee is not enjoying any of it.
> "How can you live in this!?" she shrieks.

> You are standing before an enormous cave providing the entrance to the Underground somewhere in the Northeast section of Gensokyo. You are currently facing Southwest. Directly before you is a massive meadow full of bright flowers, while to your right-ish is Youkai Mountain. The air feels suspiciously cool coming from an area before the mountain.

> "It's been a while, Patchy usually comes down to visit. And even if I've been up here before it's still going to be bright!"

> You remember the map at the GDC headquarters suggesting that it was near the Misty Lake, somewhere off the Eastern side of Youkai Mountain.

> "It's more colorful than Underground, but you should really do something about this sun thing. It's just too damn bright."
> Despite some casual suggestions on your part, Parsee refuses to ease her grip on your arm. At least you can still feel your fingers for now.
> Tromping through the grass, it eventually recedes to dirt as you enter the Youkai Forest. Unlike the Forest of Magic, Youkai Forest isn't suffocating with trees, there are large expanses between trees. It hardly seems fair to classify both as forests.
> The marked trail becomes wider and more of a suggestion before disappearing altogether. You stop and look around, shushing Parsees's babbling about the certain dangers sunlight must cause.
> Soon you can hear faint sounds of splashing and what sounds like children laughing.

> Parsee nods and returns to her previous clinging position.
> You make a note of where the sound is coming from, as it is quite faint, and set off in that direction.
> The forest doesn't change along your trek, but the splashing grows louder. You manage to avoid any clearings but eventually arrive at the edge of the forest.
> What greets you is an immense lake teeming with fairies. Dressed in all sorts of clothes with hair of every color and style, you can see them flying over the lake, sitting in the waters edge, eating, playing, fighting, chasing each other through the air, just about everything you can think of.
> Parsee releases you entirely and stares with a "wooooooooow." It's certainly impressive to see that many fairies at once.
> You don't think they've seen you yet. At the far edge of the lake you can see a large structure.

> It is quite a sight! One fairy in particular catches you attention: a fairy in a blue dress bombing through the air shooting icicles with reckless abandon.
> You turn your attention back to the structure. It's on the far side of the lake from you, and you can barely see it but for the distance and the throng of fairies.

> "Yeah, they're like oni without being drunk."
> By staying on the outskirts of the forest, you should be able to go around the right side of the lake and keep out of the fairies' way. However, the forest is very thin, so you could be seen fairly easily. The forest to the left would be longer, but the cover would be thicker.
> Parsee continues watching the fairies with great interest.

> Rather than make a decision, you decide to watch them a little longer. The blue ice fairy has taken a liking to shooting ice at one fairy in particular: a small one with green hair pulled to the side. She was also blessed with a loud voice.
> "Cirno! Stop it! That's not fair!"
> The one you now presume to be Cirno just cackles with laughter. You decide that now would be a good time to leave.
> "Huh? We're going that way? Why?" Parsee follows you, confused, but no longer holding your arm.

> To the left! Leaving behind the fairies as the tree cover thickens, you and Parsee start to wind around the lake. The sounds of merriment continue, but vision is impeded.
> As you walk you come across a green-haired youkai wearing a cape, crouching with it's back to you, apparently engrossed in the dirt.
