The time came that I had to explain myself about me coming to Gensokyo. What's not so bad is that I'm sharing it with my only Gensokyan friend, Alice. I told her to shut the curtains so if either Reimu or anyone else involved in the search for the contraband (a.k.a. me!) couldn't immediately see me inside Alice's house. I had to tell her about how I came to finding out about Gensokyo and how wonderful I thought it would be to come here. I told her about dashing through one of Yukari's "gaps" through space to reach here and how I ran from Reimu, Ran, and Chen in an opportunistic panic and stumbled upon her doorstep. The rest is recent history. Thankfully, she was calm enough to understand and be reasonable, so I had to tell her that there's probably no other place to hide for me, so I had to tell her that I would probably have to stay at her place until things clear up for me and my name in Gensokyo.

Alice: "So you'll have to stay here until you can either find somewhere else safe for you or clear your name?"
Reinhardt: "Not exactly what you hoped? I know, I'm sorry if it's any trouble for you."
Alice: "No, no... um, it's fine, really. I don't mind too much for you here. I actually think it's nice to have company, but I know a friend who lives in a big mansion who says she can hide you there if you're willing to do a task for her."
Reinhardt: "Sure, I'm up for it. Who is this friend of yours? Don't worry, I'll make sure to visit you as much as I can." Alice blushed a bit.
Alice: "Well, her name is Patchouli Knowledge and she asked the mistress of the mansion, Remilia Scarlet, if it was okay to house a hidden contraband if he retrieved a list of missing books from Marisa's house. Here's a list of the important things that Marisa stole from her library. You could probably tell by now that Marisa tends to steal books." Okay, the whole illegal contraband thing is starting to bug me a bit. It sounds like I've been convicted of murder or something, but from the sound of who my future hostess will be, it's most likely a trap, set by Yukari and her goons. I find it appropriate to call them that since that's what they are and I don't feel like naming off the list of Reinhardt hunters out there.

Reinhardt: "That doesn't sound too bad. I think I can be the man for the job. I already retrieved your things from that witch's cluttered shack of hers."
Alice: "Hey, she may be a thief and everything, but she's still a human like you are. She's also my friend."
Reinhardt: "Sorry, but you'd think that friends wouldn't steal from other friends' belongings. No offense or anything. I just have strong beliefs in order."
Alice: "Yeah, I guess you're right. I guess a few people could learn a thing or two from you."
Reinhardt: "Well, I think I'll start on that task tomorrow. You can ask Marisa to go with you somewhere while I raid her house of stolen goodies."
Alice: "Perfect, we can go to the market together to restock on groceries and look at the flowers that bloom in Summer. Well, good night and good luck with clearing your name, Reinhardt."
Reinhardt: "Good night, Alice. Maybe you can teach Marisa about how thievery should never exist in friendship. Oh, also, after I retrieve the list of items and books from Marisa's house, I'll head straight to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to return them and continue hiding until I can reason with my hunters."
Alice: "Okay, I guess that's fine. Wait, how do you know about Remilia's mansion already?"
Reinhardt: "Information gets around to me quickly, so I would know a few things about this place already. Good night, Alice."
Alice: "Hm, well good night, then."

It's hard being a man being hunted down, especially in a place where everyone is more powerful than you are. even more so when people have ways of tricking you, but I am already expecting the unexpected so they will have another thing coming. I shall prepare for a long day and night tomorrow and the night will be even longer than the day, despite being Summer. Lord, watch over me as I am walking through the valley of the shadow of death and so that I may come out of this with You at my side. In Your Holy and Righteous name, Jesus, Amen.
