You ask about the border, and almost go into some kind of sillyness about the Hebrew God. Psh, Like he'd ever amount to anything. You do wonder if he is still outside the border, though. Given how barren it has to be outs- oh wait...
"The border isn't broken enough for people to willingly get in, But definitely enough for magic and items to cross over. Its almost caused a mess- The outside world mostly hasn't noticed, I mean, I've hardly met anyone who could even feel magic over there... But, Well....
Most mythical beings are here now, yes. But the humans are still outside. Magic isn't lost entirely- Outside, there has scarcely been more than three magic capable humans per generation. Most good magic users are incredibly old, having extended their life with magic, or just plain talented. I'd estimate there were maybe, a hundred, magic users left in the outside world before I was tossed in that knife. This is excluding mythic creatures like myself. We're probably just scarcer.
I was trapped in that knife around...ten years ago? At that point, the average level of magic had raised significantly, and given the large area of the planet, I suspect that was a lot of missing magic from here."
"She is right, That is around when flight became incapable. Approximately, 20% of the large amount of magic Gensokyo contains had leaked out. It stopped around 40%, so the extremely skilled can still use flight magic."
"Yeah well. People noticed. One of them in particular decided to experiment. So he caught me, stuffed me in a knife, and decided to see what happened when I disappeared. I don't know if he had a way to follow me, but I think he wants to fully unleash the magic supply outside the border. He mentioned something about 'Breaking' magic as well. On top of that, most users outside have started to go nuts on the new found power, and it could even cause an exponential increase in the amount of magic users outside. It could get seriously nasty."
"...That is nice, I suppose we'll have to make sure no more magic leaks out. I believe you've been speaking about a plan to return the Hakurei Border to power? This is just incentive to do it. The outside world can worry about their own problems."
> "Ah. Patchouli, do you think you can finish fixing the two contracts we have? I nearly forgot about them."
You ask about helping to fix the broken contract. "Of course, I'm interested in what could actually manifest with a broken contract, myself."
