Good grief. To think the day would come when Reimu would call me selfish. I must be getting old.

...But I never imagined she'd be able to use them so well. I should adjust this barrier a bit more, just in case...

Found you~!

Oh, Yuyuko. This isn't the dining hall, you know.

I know~, I just came to see her new gear.

So this is it, huh? They're lovely.

Since I was making them from scratch, I wanted them to be as high quality as possible. I even worked with Ran to come up with the design for the clothes.

She's really important to you, isn't she? That must be why you're keeping her locked away in this fancy new cage of dresses and weapons.

...Oh, so you noticed, Yuyuko?

Of course I noticed~. Using that equipment is like threading the eye of a needle, right? It's so hard to use that when she fails to do the things you don't need her to, she'll think it's perfectly natural... Both the training and the new gear were all planned with that in mind, right?

You see through me so easily that I'm not sure why I even bother trying to keep it a secret.

The new equipment has a two-layered spell applied to it. On one hand, it optimizes her power for maximum output. At the same time though, it prevents her from tapping into her original powers.

So you don't want her to get serious?

It would be a problem for me if she were too effective. If she unleashed her real power, it would destroy the current balance of Gensokyo.

And you didn't think you had to worry about that yet, but her Danmaku Barrier surpassed your calculations~.

Everything I do is for her, and by extension, Gensokyo...

As the Hakurei shrine maiden, Reimu must continue to be Gensokyo's barrier.
