Eastern First-Winter Pavilion

“Huh? Kanna Zuki Sougetsu? You want to ask about her? I mean... even if you’re a total shut-in, you’d at least come out to buy things now and then, right? Just go find her at Hatsufuyuya.”

“‘It’d be inconvenient’... What’s inconvenient about that? She’s so cute and gentle, and even though she’s a youkai, she helps us out all the time. She’s not going to gobble you up.”

“Ah, you mean the shop staff and those youkai who look like trouble? Come on, they’re all on good terms with Sougetsu. How scary could they be? Besides, the shrine maiden and the magician go shopping there all the time. Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

“‘So it’s not a gang after all...’ I’m more curious about why you got that idea in the first place... Though, now that you mention it, I guess they do kind of seem like one. Still, Hatsufuyuya really is a great shop. I recommend it, no doubt about it.”

“When you get there, tell Sougetsu to pay me for the promotion, okay? Huh? She’ll pay.”

This is a Touhou Project fan work.

The story originally began as an Anko thread and was updated on a forum. It has been adapted into a novel and is being serialized on this platform. (So the story will unfold through randomly occurring episodic tales alongside the main plot about incidents.)

[Female protagonist + slice of life + slow-burn story + expanded and rewritten original storylines + some personal additions] (The author writes with respect for the original work and its characters.)

That’s all.
