Memory: ✿ divine spirits congregating at Myourenji...? (events of Ten Desires) Received: Day 146 (Lilith's contagion game) The Thing: ( with names mysteriously obscured ) It's springtime at last, a full seven years after some mysterious incident perpetuated by Yuyuko herself. Beings suggested to be divine spirits are gathering at various locations in Gensokyo, most prominently the Myouren Temple and its cemetery, a faction of Buddhist youkai who've recently settled down.
Things start to get a little worrisome when these divine spirits begin forming in the bodies of existing ghosts and then disappearing--Youmu and (presumably) Yuyuko included. Reimu, Marisa, Sanae, and Youmu all head out to investigate, most of them immediately suspecting Yuyuko for it being the anniversary of the Spring Incident and spirits being directly in her domain. However, it's actually not her meddling for once. She knows exactly what's going on, though, and makes each of the girls duel her first to get information out of her, then not-so-subtly pointing them in the direction of the Myouren Temple cemetery. Her comment in Youmu's scenario is the most telling:
"I doubt that some troublesome individual is about to make a return, or that there's any secrets or anything in, say, the cemetery behind the temple..."
Indeed, someone troublesome was returning--the Taoist saint Toyosatomimi no Miko, whose mausoleum was located directly underneath the Myouren Temple. How coincidental. For the past 1400 years, she'd been comatose after a shifty attempt at immortality, and now she was waking up. The spirits were, in fact, not divine spirits at all, but a low-class subspecies referred to as greedy spirits, or vulgar spirits, vengeful souls born from one's desires. Due to Miko's abilities to hear the desires of humans, the vulgar spirits flocked to her to witness her resurrection.
Yuyuko is not present for the entire fight, but she manages to find out what went down, as per usual.
Gleamed from it: ❀ am i a mom did i just give birth to evil spirits ❀ hi again moe gardener/maid (and friends) ❀ the witch who fought me and moe gardener/maid during the moon incident is back, hello again ❀ i started an incident like this??? oh boy i hope it was fun ❀ the moon incident from her previous shards took place in the same year as the mysterious spring incident, so she can conclude that it's been 7 years since those set of shards ❀ she figured out/snooped out the cause of the incident all by herself before the protagonists even confronted her, what a shifty jackass ❀ evidently Buddhism vs. Taoism is A Thing here, they really seem to dislike each other
