Why

The world blurred around him

I could've sworn I got out undetected

He was being thrown around like a ragdoll

Am I gonna die?

He heard maniacal laughter

Is this how it ends?

And the last thing he before losing consciousness

"How about I show first-hand what happens when you into the Boundary with no protection?"

NO! ANYTHING BUT THAT!

His body failed him as he fell into the Cauldron, never to be seen again.


- 2021, May 16th -

- Unknown Location -

- Will the patient be alright?

- Don't worry, he will be fine. He just needs a little rest.

- Alright then...

Waking up, I opened my eyes to see someone leaving the room in what looks a like a traditional Japanese bedroom. The doors closed as a the lady who had stayed back turned to look at me and...

- Oh! It seems you are finally awake. Please rest a little bit more. You had taken substantial physical damage so please just stay put.

Her voice was a that of a mature woman, and it felt like it was coming from the mouth of a sage.

- O-Okay then. Where am I?

- You are in the Eientei, my current residence and which also houses my apothecary. My apprentice Reisen happened to find you outside the gate unconscious.

- I see... ah, my head hurts so bad...

- What happened to you? Did you get lost?

- I don't know... All I remember is falling down an endless abyss and... the rest is a blank to me. I only remember who I am...

- (So he's suffering from amnesia at the moment...)

The doors opened to show a... a girl with rabbit ears? No wait, they look buttoned so they must be fake...

- I brought what you asked for Eirin-sama!

- Eirin?

Eirin - That would be my name. I do believe some introductions are in order.

Eirin then motioned for the girl, who I assumed to be Reisen, to place the tea and what looks like medicine on the table and continued.

Eirin - I am Eirin Yagokoro, you may call me Eirin if you wish. I am a doctor here at the Eientei, and this is also where I work as a an apothecary, selling medicine and herbs.

Reisen - I am Reisen Udongein Inaba! I am Eirin-sama's apprentice. Hehe, don't mind the rabbit ears, and try not to look into my eyes please...

...I was confused. Why should I try not to look her in the eyes? Regardless...

- Somehow I remember who I am, so I might as well intorduce myself as well. I am Natsuki Shirogane.

To be continued...


Alright, for those wondering if this is gonna be another 'OC gets gapped' moment, I would like to say that this story in general is classified as a regular Story, not a crossover, while still containing some elements of a crossover but I decided against it since I will do the next arc in a different story. What this means is that Natsuki essentially accidentally entered Gensokyo in an unconventional manner instead of entering through the Hakurei Barrier or getting gapped into here. I will elaborate on the specifics in the story itself later on.

For now, I would like to affirm that this is not gonna be an overpowered OC that fuxes everything type of story, at least I hope it won't. I still don't know much about Touhou other than the mainline games and their stories. I also have been playing LostWord since launch, but have been taking a break due to how repetitive it can get and I have other things to be doing as well.

Please leave your reviews and suggestions and if you have any questions, I will answer as best as I can as well.

Natsuki signing off.
