Yorihime Quest

[Lt Colonel Summers]

>"That's terrible. What did they do with master Eirin?"

>"The soldiers blackmailed Master immediately after they took princess away..." Reisen says. "They demanded Master to assist them in bringing down the Lunar Kingdom..."

[Tashi]

> "... Reisen, do you know a place where we can trust someone?"
> Look around again. Any danger?

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "... Reisen, do you know a place where we can trust someone?"
> Look around again. Any danger?

>"The only place I can think of right now is the Hakurei Shrine..." Reisen says. "I was just going to get help from Reimu..."
>You look around for any signs of danger, as does Toyohime. You don't see any danger...
>But Reisen, on the other hand, seems to hear danger approaching, since her ears have suddenly straightened and stiffened up.
>"Get down!" Reisen tells you.

>Become prone and stealthy.

[Lt Colonel Summers]

>Geddan

>Become prone and stealthy.

//I was a bit confused at what you mean.

[Tashi]

> Get down with Reisen and our sister.

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> Get down with Reisen and our sister.

>The three of you get down on the ground.
>It soon became apparent what Reisen has heard: loud whirrings coming from above the forest canopy at a distance, and it is getting louder as whatever's causing it gets closer.

[Tashi]

> Look around again. Anything new?

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> Look around again. Anything new?

>You don't see anything new on the ground.
>You see that, causing the whirring sounds above the canopy of the Bamboo Forest, is a fleet of three aircrafts.
>They don't seem to have seen you, though. Otherwise, they would've already fired upon you instead of simply passing over you.
>"They...look like those flying things used by Earth's militaries..." Toyohime said with surprise in her tone. "What are they called...? Attack helicopters?"

[Tashi]

> Are they descending to land? Or are they at the same height?

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> Are they descending to land? Or are they at the same height?

>The helicopters aren't descending (because there's no room for them to land in the Bamboo Forest). They simply continued in their current trajectory without slowing down one bit.
>Soon, they disappeared off the distance, and the Bamboo Forest became silent again

[Tashi]

> "I... thought those were bombardment aircrafts..."
> Slowly get up with the other two.
> "You know what's in that direction, Rei? The one that they are going to?"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "I... thought those were bombardment aircrafts..."
> Slowly get up with the other two.
> "You know what's in that direction, Rei? The one that they are going to?"

>You slowly get up from the ground, as do Toyohime and Reisen.
>"That direction...it's the forward base from when you guys deployed the purification rover last year..." Reisen tells you. "The Foreign Military had sealed it off. Nobody but their own can get in..."

[Tashi]

> "Until now."
> Look at her.
> "Hakurei Shrine, you say? Are you sure we can trust that place?"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Until now."
> Look at her.
> "Hakurei Shrine, you say? Are you sure we can trust that place?"

>"I trust Reimu..." Reisen says. "I'm sure she'll see the Foreign Military's presence in Gensokyo as an Incident to be solved..."

[Tashi]

> "... Fine."
> Look at Toyohime.
> "Are you okay with this?"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "... Fine."
> Look at Toyohime.
> "Are you okay with this?"

>"'The enemy of my enemy is my friend', Master once told us..." Toyohime says. "Besides, that shrine maiden girl repelled the Fairy Invasion alongside Reisen. I think we owe her a favor."

[Tashi]

> "... I'll trust the well-being of Rei to her."
> Nod.
> "Can you guide me so I can take you there?"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "... I'll trust the well-being of Rei to her."
> Nod.
> "Can you guide me so I can take you there?"

>"I can. But we have to be careful, as the Foreign Military is all over Gensokyo." Reisen tells you.

[Tashi]

> "All... over...?"
> Blink.
> "Who else is involved in this?"

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "All... over...?"
> Blink.
> "Who else is involved in this?"

>"I don't know... The Foreign Military just showed up in Gensokyo without warning..." Reisen says. "Perhaps Reimu might know..."

[Tashi]

> "Then that shrine maiden is probably trying to engage them. Rei, tell me where is her shrine."

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Then that shrine maiden is probably trying to engage them. Rei, tell me where is her shrine."

//Oh darn, you posted while I was in the middle of correcting the previous post... But never mind, the added details aren't that significant, anyway...

>"The Hakurei Shrine is directly due north from the Bamboo Forest..." Reisen tells you.

[Tashi]

> "Alright..."
> Can we tell where the north is?

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Alright..."
> Can we tell where the north is?

>You can't.
>But you don't have to, because Reisen seems to know which direction to go.
>"That way..." Reisen says as she points at a direction.

[Tashi]

> "Okay. Hang in there."
> While still helping Reisen, and looking around of course, start heading to that direction. Make sure Toyohime follows us.

[Lt Colonel Summers]

> "Okay. Hang in there."
> While still helping Reisen, and looking around of course, start heading to that direction. Make sure Toyohime follows us.

>"I will..." Reisen answers you.
>You then head toward that direction while helping Reisen and looking around. Toyohime is also following you.

>The three of you exits the Bamboo Forest into a clearing in just a few minutes.
>Straight ahead, you see a Shinto shrine and its Torii gate situated on top of a small hill.
>To the west (your left), you see a small medieval Japanese village...with the same type of attack helicopters from earlier patrolling the airspace around it, and there's a lot of them.
>"There..." Reisen points at the Shinto shrine. "That's the Hakurei Shrine."

[Tashi]

> "It's like everything was taken under the militia..."
> Head to the Hakurei Shrine, but all the time with caution.
> "... Where's that shrine maiden?"
> Do we know about the economical problems of this shrine maiden?

>"What could these soldiers be planning, with all these...?" Toyohime wondered as she sees the air patrols around the village.
>The three of you approach the Hakurei Shrine with caution.
>"Reimu should be in the main building of the shrine..." Reisen says.
>If Hakurei Reimu does indeed have any economical problems, then you were not informed by anyone about it. Although it shouldn't matter to you.

>As you cautiously approaches the Hakurei Shrine, Reisen gesture at you and your sister to get down below the small trees to use them as cover. "Flying is risky, with all their air patrols..."

[Tashi]

> "True..."
> Descend and use trees to cover us while we keep advancing.
> "... They'll pay for what they did to Master..."
