Shit, shit shit!
Night time, in the outskirt of the Human Village, a person is running away. Running away from the village that he had live for all his life. The reason for this is because someone is after his life. Someone of a high profile. The man kept running in the night, ignoring the ideas of youkai could potentially attacked him. Honestly, between that person and youkais, he rather be eaten by youkais. During his run, he's carrying a book with him. A book that is thick, brown in colour with golden frames on its edges. However, the writing of the book is unintelligible. He found the books on his walk back from the fields. He brought it home, trying to read it at first but unable to do so. But then, after a good night sleep, he could read it. A book about how to get people to listen to you. Skeptical, but still, curios. Thus, he used it on the people around the village and to his surprise, it works… It actually works! People now started to listen to him. Not to mention, they follow his orders. Obviously, he only uses his power for good, but that person. That person! She comes and ruin it all!
Now, how long has he been running? Who knows? But he is getting tired. He needs rest. The power of his could 'influence' him to run forever, but it could ruin someone if they don't have the strength for it. He slows down and found a nice tree to sit down on. He's now at the edge of the Magic of Forest, the home of the runaway daughter of the Kirisame shop. How ironic. Running away from that person, he came closer to the home of the person who tried to kill him. And how funny, because behind him, he could hear steps coming closer and closer. He knows who that was, but he wishes it wasn't. After all, only one person who is currently following him.
"Finally, has the tainted ready to face his crimes?" the person behind him said. Great. It is the person who was chasing him. The one that lives on the shrine. The one that allegedly solves 'incident'. The one that comes up with plans to monetize her shrine. And lest to forget, her moniker, given to her, from some youkais (that he overheard from): the Red Slasher. He turn around, ready to meet eye to eye with the person. And it is indeed her, the last person that he wanted to see,
Hakurei Reimu.
Illuminated by the moonlight, Hakurei Reimu, the miko of the Hakurei Shrine. Her brown-black hair, swaying by the night wind, her iconic bow follow suit, her red white miko uniform that made her easily recognizable, her face - usually apathetic, only when she fulfils her desires, smile as an innocent child- turned to a scowl. A face that she usually uses during work. She holds her gohei on her right hand.
"Before I lay down your punishment, as the Hakurei Miko, anything you would like to say?" she points the gohei at the man.
"V2Etd2FpdCwgUmVpbXUhIFRoLXRoaXMgaXMgYSBtaXN1bmRlcnN0YW5kaW5nLiBMZXTigJlzIHRhbGsgdGhpcyBvdXQh" the man said, he puts his hands in front of him.
"Ah, youkai language already, huh? Either this has been going on for long, or your transformation is faster than I thought," she sighs, "Sadly for you, I don't know a thing what you just said to me, but I know you can understand me. So, let me tell you the crimes that you have committed," Reimu takes a step forward.
"Firstly, the usage of power. I have reports coming in from a certain old hag that someone is controlling the people on the village. At first, I thought she was being sarcastic but I know, she wouldn't lie to me when it comes to the balance of Gensokyo." One step.

"The way you use of that power is criminal. Taking things from others, ordering them to do things going past their limits. Some are to the point of death right now, adhering to your command. Luckily, the doctor from Eientei is skilled at what she does," another step, "Secondly. By using that power, slowly, it's eating you up. The biggest sins that a human can do in front of a Hakurei is not stealing, nor kill, nor rape: it's to remove their humanity, and follows the way of youkais. In any other crimes, there is still ways for you to repent while still retaining your humanity, the Yama would still be able to forgive you, but if you had taint yourself, it is done. No turning back," step.

"Lastly, the most egregious crimes of them all," she grips her gohei tighter, her body is directly in front of the man, "You interrupted my meal time!" as she said that, a growl could be heard from her stomach, even under the moonlight, the man could see a blush spreading on her face.

"I already cooked the rice but I haven't been able to cook the dishes yet, because of you! There's no way that I'm going to eat only rice-meal, again! How would you make up for this!" as to hide her embarrassment, Reimu quickly said, "It doesn't matter, this will all end soon. So, howl your last words, before I send you to the Yama below."

"RnVydGhlcm1vcmUsIGl04oCZcyB5b3VyIGZhdWx0IQ==" the man-turned-youkai points to Reimu, "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"
"Even to the end, you can only bark and howls in their language," Reimu has a dejected look on her face, "I see there's no point in this anymore," she took a deep breath and raised her gohei high, "I hope that the Yama would give you the punishment that you deserve," she slams it down, but before she does so, Reimu utters under her breath,
I'm sorry
and with a smack, the youkai is gone.
Now, only Reimu remains. The youkai from before is nowhere to be seen. From an outsider's view, this looks like only Reimu has been here alone all this time. No trace of the purification can be seen.
"Now then, I heard from Yukari that the guy was carrying something but," Reimu stretches her body, another growl coming in from her stomach, "I'm too tired for that. I'll search for it later. Now then," she searches inside her outfit and takes out her money pouch. She opens it to take a look at the amount that she has right now, "Not much… huh," she sighs, "Because of that guy, I have to go and eat out today. There's no way I'm eating only rice again!" she grips the bag, "Goodbye, shrine funds…" with heavy steps, Reimu makes her way back to the Human Village, finding any store –that is cheap- that is open late at night.
