> "Understandable. Hmm, well, one final shot in the dark; would you happen to know any good spots to visit for treasure hunters?'

>"Lots of good stuff on the moon, they say," she says. "Not that I'd know about that or would recommend a youkai drop in there."
>She pauses and frowns, sucking her lip against her teeth. "Now, I'm not one for wealth. Or rather, you can see my wealth right here, putting that grass to you. But, if you wanted to try you luck, you might want to visit the Lady of Kashima. She might have a sword for you. What you'd need to do to get it, who can say? You can find her palace out that way. Not sure where you'd call it."
>She gestures in a broad direction toward Gensokyo, and across the river of sake.

> "True."
> Look around for 'Miss Fujiwara'.

> Where did Sariel get off to, again?

> She went off to find miss Patchouli from what you remember, but wasn't given directions. [Link to post]

Aside from being a robot anime fan, I was rather similar to a blank page before I knew of Touhou, so Touhou pretty much shaped my personal tastes and interests. Touhou showed me that life as I have known it up until that point isn't just about giant robots fighting and saving the world. For the first time, I became interested in female characters, which eventually led to Touhou shaping my taste in female character design (I can't seem to like any other female character that isn't a Touhou character).

After learning Japanese and getting exposed more to the Japanese side of the Touhou community, I came into contact with lots of diehard fans of the series who have been following only Touhou for several years, even up to 10-20 years. I admire them a lot, and so I became even more attached to Touhou. I enjoy everything about it, the games, the print works, the fan works, the community with its annoying memes, everything.

I think I'm gonna stick with Touhou for a looooooooooooooooong time. It's been over 6 years now, and that number will definitely increase.

> "What do you think?"

> "I don't think we should let ourselves get distracted." Shinmyoumaru explains before remembering "Ah, weren't we going to ask if miss Yakumo stayed here last night?"
> Hearing this Keine answers "While we try and avoid disclosing our guest list, these are some exceptional circumstances. Last morning a two night reservation was made by Ran Yakumo and her apprentice Chen, however it was miss Yukari that showed up later that day to check in. I believe it was around lunch time that she arrived, went up to drop off her belongings and joined us for lunch, after which she returned to her room for an hour or two before stepping out."

> Recalling something "Ah, there's an important meeting I have to attend at the mayor's office on school supplies. If you excuse me, miss Fujiwara should fill in for the rest of the day." she steps out of the front desk and walks across the plaza towards Akyuu's estate.
