The morning passed, and so we go on with our paths after woke up, I say my goodbyes to Usami and went to try and figure everything, well still I am in a place I barely know about, but with the cube, I think I have a small possibility of actually figuring things out. so my first hint of the moment, the east of Japan… This oughta be good.

3 Months Later…

After narrowing my choices down to somewhere in the Ibaraki prefecture, I think I have nailed down where the main entry would be. In my meantime I had time to find some realms in Japan, know some of the beautiful culture, refine my knowledge of the Japanese language, and most importantly: gear up for the unknown. I managed to find a realm that brought me back to mainland Asia in which I took paths to my secret stash in Chagda, Russia. I took my most important tools such as my weapons and misc tools I had laying around, such examples would be:

My Sako Varmint Rifle, Finnish Perfection molded into a 5 round 308 bolt action rifle. Made of the finest wood and stainless steel, the first rifle I learned to fire in my starting guerrilla days.

My 9mm MAC-10, apparently some PMCs in Europe go for all the trouble of importing weapons just for purely aesthetic means and to flex, too bad the guy that I looted this did not take on account the superiority of long range encounters, but the weapon is all you could ask, small package bullet hose.

My Korth Nighthawk NXR 44 mag revolver, same example of the previous weapon, but this is very nuts. Who in their right mind would bring an eight thousand dollar weapon to the shitshow that is war, because thank you whoever did that, this gun is very elegant and excellent working. Maybe in another life I would've bought it.

and last but not least… My Infinite space ammo can. I've said before that sometimes I encounter realms that have no other doors connected to each other aside from the entry one, I forgot to say that some realms doors can manifest in some weird way possible. This ammo I found at an antique store has a realm to who knows where, but has an Ridiculous amount of space, almost infinite, and to enter, the entry shrinks you down as you enter the box. I thought this would be something out of sense, but if you really think about it, an ammo box opening its lid and closing via its latches… is kind of a door. This is where I store my loot and spoils, very convenient to carry around.

As I think of everything I have to make sure I am well prepared, I find myself following a trail somewhere in a forest in the prefecture with the cube in hand, glowing strongly as I point it in certain directions, letting me know I am going the hopefully right way. I keep walking and walking and walking when all of a sudden… the cube stops glowing.

I shake the cube hopelessly to try to make it work, but then I am hit with the realization, I look up to the forest, and there it was, the same shrine as before. I am back to this "Gensokyo" place. If I'm not wrong, this is the shrine where that "Reimu" priestess lives, and again, the place was empty.

It has been three months since I have appeared here, so it's very probable that the girl had already forgotten about me. but I couldn't give myself the luxury to knock on the door after nabbing Usami right in front of her eyes.

I just walk past the right side of the shrine, walking between the shrine and the shed, when I hear noises coming from the shed. I didn't realize that the door to the shed was open, I looked to my right and there she was.

The priestess was facing backwards to me and she was bowing down into a chest looking for something, she was looking for something deep in these because she then angled herself down even further, unknowingly presenting her behind to me. Her dress jumped towards her showing her underwear, she was wearing traditional bloomers up to the upper part of the thighs, revealing her moderately sized thighs and defined legs. I felt very surprised and in trance, looking at her for long 3 seconds, but my senses and chivalry sobered me up as I eep in surprise and try to look away in respect, but I turned away too hard, flinging myself to the wall of the shrine behind me that I knock myself in the "snout" with it.

Naturally the priestess heard me exclaim and donk myself into the wall, so she gets up from the chest and turns around to look at me, still rubbing my "snout".

"YOU!" She exclaims

"ugh… ahh…umm…oh shit…" I said to myself.

She then lounges towards me, tackling me to the ground and pinning me by placing her legs on my stomach and her forearm onto my neck. I could've shoved her aside but that lock with her forearm choking me made me place my hands to her forearm in an attempt to break the lock.

She then pulls out 3 big needles out of her dress and places them between her fingers.

"You got a lot of nerve showing yourself again, you are lucky Usami forgave you for what you did, but I won't" she says as she moves the needles closer to my lower jaw.

"w…w-wait! I come in peace, I haven't hurt her or nothing, please! I'm not your enemy!" I plead to the priestess.

"nonsense, I have let youkai push me around for a long time, but you are the last straw" she says in a very tone as she is pushing the needles towards me.

"Reimu, was it?!" I exclaim as a last resort to get her to stop, my idea works as she halts what she is doing, looking at me with a face of surprise.

"please, I truly am not your enemy" I say to her, "I know things may look very confusing but I have come to Gensokyo looking for answers"

Reimu is looking at me, not saying a word.

"please, I am as confused as you are…" I plead one last time.

"Fine" she responds as she lets go of the lock. "here are the rules''

As she said that she throws some sort of paper towards me at high speed, the paper then locks in both of my hands and pulses a glow once, I try to get it off me but as soon as the glow stopped my energy seemingly disappeared of my body as I try to jank my hands away from each other. I was cuffed.

"You are not here to ask, I am going to ask the questions here, and after we're done, we are gonna take a little visit to the hag to figure what she'll do with your smokey ass, are we clear?"

If that Bitch calls me "Smokey" one more time… fuck, I really cant make things worse now, I got so far to fail now.

"I see no objection" I disgruntledly responded back.
