News on Gensokyo spread even faster than before, Vạn Thư absolutely hate it when her supposed retirement time ended up as a big magnet for attention from other

Vạn Thư: I guess I have to pack up my stuff and move elsewhere…

Vạn Thư looked at her bag as she began to pack up everything. She was so fed up with people forcing her out of her retirement that she wanted to return to Hakoniwa and find a solitude place to live.

Yukari: You won't be able to leave this place.

Yukari said the ugly truth while keeping a distance against her from her gap. Vạn Thư crossed her hand in an annoyed look.

Vạn Thư: What is your real purpose again? Why did you let me taste that water from the Fountain of Miracle?

Yukari: Because deep inside you wished to become powerful. Obviously you kept a map about the Fountain of Miracle for that exact purpose right?

Vạn Thư: It was for plan B if I needed to fight off a dangerous threat again! It had nothing to do with me trying to regain power!

Vạn Thư shouted in anger as she realized Yukari misinterpreted her intention. But then…she went into a full fury!

Yukari: Hmm?

Vạn Thư: Alright! Alright! I wanted power! So what? Can't you all just leave me alone!?

Yukari: I afraid none of us Yokai in Gensokyo would let you have it your way.

Vạn Thư sat down with a tired face

Vạn Thư: All I wished was a peaceful retirement…

She gave out a long sigh as she looked at her hand in sorrow

Vạn Thư: None of you would understand how much I got sick of having magical power. I lost my peaceful life because of it. I should have been withering away into dust instead of using that Scroll of Immortality!

Vạn Thư slammed her fist down to the floor in anger, tears was dropping from her cheek

Vạn Thư: ANSWER ME, GAP YOKAI! CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?

She roared at the empty room as Yukari already disappeared behind the boundary. Yukari knew she can't help Vạn Thư at this moment aside letting her calm down for a while.

Eventually she did, yet her attitude was grumpy for the whole day and it carried to Geidontei too.

Miyoi: What happened? You don't even brush your own hair!

Vạn Thư: What if I told you none of you ever wanted me to retire?

Miyoi: But I never want to force you out of retirement!

Miyoi showed her disbelief as she looked at her friend

Miyoi: I heard that Yukari wasn't a trustworthy person to begin with. Why did you have to believe in her words?

Vạn Thư: Maybe she was speaking the truth…

Miyoi: She isn't! Didn't you tell me that she put those drops of the Fountain onto you? She is manipulating you in order to make you believe you can't retire peacefully!

Vạn Thư: And she succeeded…

Vạn Thư made a drunken hiccup as she surrender herself to her situation

Miyoi: …

Miyoi suddenly dragged Vạn Thư away, Miyoi's strength is surprisingly strong as she is a Yokai while Vạn Thư is just a human librarian

Vạn Thư: Where are you dragging me into?

Miyoi: To the person who could fix this issue!

At the Hakurei Shrine

Reimu: I already knew Yukari did it.

Vạn Thư: Then why didn't you stop her!?

Reimu: She told me after she did it. There was no way to stop Yukari for thing like this.

Vạn Thư: Geez…what should I do now? ...

Reimu: Accept who you are

Vạn Thư: Not again!

Reimu: But that is exactly how you should be! Just look around you, everyone sooner or later would know about your true identity as you came from Hakoniwa. Also, everyone in this place already learned how to co-exist peacefully in Gensokyo.

You can't escape from your fate, Vạn Thư. No matter how much you wanted to force your narrative into other it won't work forever.

Vạn Thư: But what is the point of fighting if I already run out of power?

Reimu: Yukari is holding every last drops of the Fountain of Miracle. Your power could be restored beyond your current status. All it takes was to make your decision whether if you should accept your retirement or not.

Reimu decided to leave as she wanted to let Vạn Thư have her lonely time thinking about her decision

That night at the Human Village

Vạn Thư was sitting inside her room looking at the night sky in a deep though

Vạn Thư: Hakoniwa won't need my power anymore…but would Gensokyo need my power?
