Yorihime Quest

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> How close is the grenade?
> Is there any exit besides the one that the grenade possibly came from?
> Is our sword capable of easily cut walls? If so, do we think we can cut Eientei ones?
> This commands must not take any time.

>The grenade is under the tea table in the middle of the room. Which is right in front of you.
>When you first noticed the grenade, it was rolling in from the direction of the door that led to the corridor. It is the only exit in this room.
>The walls of Eientei are made of wood, so you should be able to cut them down.
>Your pondering of the above options took just a split second. That said, you should make your choice before the grenade blows.

[Tashi]

> Eirin is immortal... Our sister and us aren't.... Sorry, Master...
> Exiting the room via the corridor will take more time than getting away straight up from the grenade, so...
> Don't lose time and grab the arm of our sister. Assuming we have a wall back the couch we are sitting down, quickly turn and unsheathe our sword with the other hand that we aren't using to hold Toyohime, cutting the wall. Get away of the room as quickly as possible
> If there aren't any immediate wall back the couch, just jump the couch and run towards there. Cut the wall and get away as quickly as possible.
> Of course, everything always holding our sister.

> Of course, everything always holding our sister.

>You grab the arm of your sister with one hand.
>You then unsheathe your sword with the other hand and, with a single swing, cut down the wall behind the couch you were sitting on just now.
>"I'm sorry, Master..." You hear Toyohime apologizing to Lady Yagokoro as you drag her through the hole in the wall, out of the room and away from the grenade.
>"Just keep running! The soldiers are after y..." You hear Lady Yagokoro trying to tell you something as you and your sister makes your getaway.
>But that's when the grenade went off. The shockwave from the explosion knocked you and your sister onto the ground, and also cutting off whatever your master was going to tell you.

[Tashi]

> "LET'S GO!"
> Help our sister to get up and keep running.

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "LET'S GO!"
> Help our sister to get up and keep running.

>You help Toyohime get up and then continues running away from the now blown-up living room of Eientei.

>Immediately after the explosion, the sound of marching boots can be heard coming from the wreck.

[Tashi]

> What we did? Soldiers from where? The moon?!
> "Hey sis! It could be great if you can get out of here!"
> Are we near an exit?
> If we go outside at any moment, stop running and start flying... anywhere.

> What we did? Soldiers from where? The moon?!
> "Hey sis! It could be great if you can get out of here!"
> Are we near an exit?
> If we go outside at any moment, stop running and start flying... anywhere.

>You don't know what you did that would warrant being hunted by these...soldiers that Lady Yagokoro mentioned immediately before the explosion.

>"Not instantly! I need a moment to open a portal to the moon!" Toyohime answers quickly.

>You are already outside the grounds of Eientei.
>You and Toyohime quickly take to the air.
>As you take to the air and picked a random direction to fly toward, you catch a glimpse of these "soldiers" coming out of the smoldering wreck that was the living room.
>That's when you realized...these are not LDF soldiers...

[Tashi]

> Are they holding guns? If so, of what kind?
>> Are they pointing them at us?
>> If that's so, start moving strafing while still advancing.
> "Do you have any idea of this, sis? Are we wanted somewhere?"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> Are they holding guns? If so, of what kind?
>> Are they pointing them at us?
>> If that's so, start moving strafing while still advancing.
> "Do you have any idea of this, sis? Are we wanted somewhere?"

>Most of the soldiers are holding what looked like assault rifles. Some are holding pistols.
>They are aiming those guns at you.
>You begin strafing in midair to avoid being hit as the soldiers start firing at you.
>Toyohime has the same idea.
>"I have no idea..." Toyohime manages an answer while dodging fire. "I don't know who or what are after us and why..."
>You and your sister breaks through the canopy of the Bamboo Forest. The soldiers stop firing at you at this point, probably because you're out of range for their guns.

[Tashi]

> Remember all the people from Gensokyo we know, aside of the Eientei ones.
> "Master and the Princess were Lunarians before... and Reisen was as well... If this isn't happening anywhere else in this land, then that means this people are searching for the Lunarians."
> Frown.

> "Master and the Princess were Lunarians before... and Reisen was as well... If this isn't happening anywhere else in this land, then that means this people are searching for the Lunarians."
> Frown.

>You recall a list of people from Gensokyo whom you know about.
>Hakurei Reimu and Yakumo Yukari have already been covered in the introductory post.
>Kirisame Marisa - one of the members of the expedition that came with Reimu. A western witch who likes to use star magic, and maybe a bit too reliant on firepower and looking cool...
>Izayoi Sakuya - another member of the aforementioned expedition. She has the ability to manipulate the flow of time, and it is that very power that she came the closest to defeating you the last time. You couldn't outmuscle her, so you had to outsmart her instead.
>Remilia Scarlet - a noble vampire, and leader of the aforementioned expedition. She's so powerful she could've beaten you with raw power alone, but the tides turned when she got cocky.

>You frown as you thought about the soldiers' possible objectives for going after you.
>You see one of the soldiers pulling out a radio and speaking through it. You can't hear what he's saying from this high, though.

[the old guy]

>What Shinto deities would be helpful in this situation?

[Tashi]

> Is the soldier looking at us?
> Look around for anyone.
> Stop advancing.

[Lt Colonel Summers]

>What Shinto deities would be helpful in this situation?

>None of them, unfortunately. Looks like you're on your own this time...

> Is the soldier looking at us?
> Look around for anyone.
> Stop advancing.

>That soldier is looking at you and your sister. As are the other soldiers.
>You and Toyohime fly around above the canopy of the Bamboo Forest, looking for signs of anyone.
>You stop after a while.

[Tashi]

> "Tch..."
> Keep looking around. Is there any "lost" soldier somewhere?
> "We need to interrogate some of them..."

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Tch..."
> Keep looking around. Is there any "lost" soldier somewhere?
> "We need to interrogate some of them..."

>You keep looking around.
>You did not find any soldier that seems to be alone.
>But you did find someone who seems to be lying face-down in the middle of the Bamboo Forest. This person definitely doesn't look like any one of those soldiers.

[Tashi]

> Are there any soldier near of that person?
> Can we determine if he/she's someone we know from here?
> "Sis, look..."
> Nudge subtly to the person, but don't point to it. We don't want the soldiers to notice.

>This person is all alone. The nearest group of soldiers being the ones you've just got away from, and you've flown so far away from their last position (Eientei) that you're sure you've completely ditched them (not that they have any way to giving chase).
>Judging by the long purple hair, white shirt, short pink skirt...and crumpled rabbit ears, this can only be one person you know.
>You subtly inform Toyohime of the person.
>Toyohime quickly recognizes who that person is. "Hey, that's Reisen...the original one..."

[Tashi]

> "...!"
> Head there cautiously.
> Grab the handle of our sword, just in case something happens or this is some kind of trap...

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "...!"
> Head there cautiously.
> Grab the handle of our sword, just in case something happens or this is some kind of trap...

>One hand tightly holding the hilt of your sword, you slowly and carefully approach the unconscious Reisen.

[Tashi]

> Look around for any danger.
>> If everything is okay, examine Reisen more closely. Is she hurt?
>> Gently shake our friend.
>> "Reisen...?"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> Look around for any danger.
>> If everything is okay, examine Reisen more closely. Is she hurt?
>> Gently shake our friend.
>> "Reisen...?"

>You look around for anything dangerous.
>Luckily, there are none.
>You examine Reisen closely. Her clothes is torn on several parts, and she has a few small cuts and bruises. But otherwise she's fine.
>You gently shake Reisen.
>"Mmmh...?" Reisen utters as she begins to wake up.
>When she opens her eyes and take a look at you and Toyohime, she let out a gasp in surprise.

[Tashi]

> Make a shushing motion.
> In a quiet and comforting tone: "Let's leave the greetings for other moment."
> Try to lift Reisen. If she doesn't resists because some wounds start to hurt, then have her arm go over our shoulders and our neck to help her.

>You made a shushing motion to Reisen and tells her to leave greetings for later.
>Reisen stands up with your help. She could stand up on her own, so no need to carry her by your shoulders.
>"Those...bastards..." Reisen mutters, with tears rolling down her cheeks. "They came all of a sudden...demanded the princess to come with them...blackmailed Master..."

[the old guy]

>Demanded Kaguya to come with them? Oh.....no.

>"Did they...take her?"

[Tashi]

> "Who are they, to begin with? They don't seem to be part of the LDF."

[Lt Colonel Summers]

>Demanded Kaguya to come with them? Oh.....no.

>"Did they...take her?"

>"Yes..." Reisen answers. "The princess refused to come with them at first, so they decided to just take her by force..."

> "Who are they, to begin with? They don't seem to be part of the LDF."

>"Th...the people of Gensokyo, with their limited knowledge, referred to the soldiers as the Foreign Military..." Reisen tells you. "Apparently, they came here in response to the Fairy Invasion of the Lunar Kingdom from last year..."

[Tashi]

> "Are they blaming the Princess for that?"
> Frown.
> "And even then... how did they managed to get her? She isn't weak to let some soldiers capture her so easily..."

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Are they blaming the Princess for that?"
> Frown.
> "And even then... how did they managed to get her? She isn't weak to let some soldiers capture her so easily..."

>"I think they're more concerned about what the Lunar Kingdom did in response to being invaded by fairies..." Reisen says. "From what I've overheard during their blackmailing Master, they considered the deployment of the purification rover on Earth an 'act of war'..."*¹
>Reisen then adds, "The soldiers weren't following the Spell Card Rules. They just pulled out a stun gun and took princess down quickly..."

//*¹referring to the "giant metallic spider" that purified everything in its wake in Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom.

[the old guy]

>"That's terrible. What did they do with master Eirin?"
