Leisurely Shrine Maiden of Paradise
The usual outfit of Reimu from the world delirious with eternal summer. The beach ball is a Misumaru creation.

Kouraku-biyori (a Touhou LW original) refers to weather that is suitable for going outside to play or a day with clear skies. This is a perfect temperament for the carefree shrine maiden from the world of eternal summer. The laws of Phases and Essences completely fell apart, leaving only a desire to play all the time in this Gensokyo of eternal summer! Reimu doesn't mind the sunshine! (Strong against Sun Essence.) No one can beat her in water sports! (Strong against Water Phase.) And she has plans to counter Marisa! (Strong against Star Essence.) But she doesn't like it when it's too hot. (Weak to Fire Phase.) Why does she make such elaborate plans to beat Marisa? Is she that worried about losing to her?
The ability of Reimu Hakurei from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). This ability isn't all that different from the abilities of Reimus from other worlds. The only difference is that she exclusively uses her ability to play because this world is so fun... No, maybe that isn't any different from the Reimu of our world. "I can't believe the shrine sank below the water in my generation." Generations of Hakurei shrine maidens have protected Gensokyo. Even in this world, that historical fact remains unchanged. However, there is a peculiar discrepancy between this universe and the others, namely that the successive generations of Hakurei shrine maidens have also inherited the title of Beach Shrine Maiden. The Beach Shrine Maiden is a shrine maiden of the beach and the ocean. They live with the beach and on the beach, and they spend their days in peace while being vaguely aware of rising sea level... until that fateful day finally arrived during Reimu's generation. She thought about moving the shrine but never did. That is why the Hakurei Shrine is currently sleeping at the bottom of the sea to the east. "I can't believe you face the rising sun and put your hands together in prayer every morning. You really are devout, aren't you?" "Are you really questioning whether a shrine maiden is devout or not?" "Nah, I was just trying to say that being all quiet and serious doesn't suit you." "Oh, is that how I look? Well, I guess you do have a point." When Reimu thought about her actions, she realized that she couldn't explain why she prayed to her god. But she also concluded that not knowing how to explain it doesn't give her a reason not to pray. "...All right, Marisa." Reimu opened her eyes and looked at the girl beside her. "What competition should we have today?"
The Spread Shot of Reimu Hakurei from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She goes all out and strikes her Yin-Yang Beach Ball toward her opponent. Reimu is, of course, also skilled at attacks that don't involve kicking, so she devised this technique as a counter to youkai and Marisa. It is incredibly difficult to judge the trajectory and speed of the ball from Reimu's nonchalant setup. Don't underestimate this eastern shrine maiden!
The Focus Shot of Reimu Hakurei from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She kicks her Yin-Yang Beach Ball toward her opponent with all her might. Reimu is famous for her kicks and her Yin-Yang Orbs. Apparently, a game where you kick a mysterious toy around, similar to the ancient Japanese game of kemari, was all the rage for a time in Gensokyo. And it seems that the Reimu of this Gensokyo still enjoys it.
A Spell Card of Reimu Hakurei from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She attacks with Yin-Yang Beach Balls embued with water temperament. If this world's history was the same as our world's, this attack would probably be called "Treasure Sign: Dancing Yin-Yang Orbs." Perhaps this Reimu plans to use this technique for beach sports. But what kind of sport involves manipulating balls like this? This should be labeled as a cheat technique...
A Spell Card of Reimu Hakurei from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). She kicks a giant, airborne Yin-Yang Beach Ball embued with water temperament down to the ground. If this world's history was the same as our world's, this attack would probably be called "Treasure: Yin-Yang Asukai." This was supposed to be a technique related to the ancient Japanese game of kemari... but she obviously performs a bicycle kick. You shouldn't really use such an advanced technique in a game between children, but this is normal for Reimu because she never pulls any punches.
The Last Word of Reimu Hakurei from the world delirious with eternal summer (a Touhou LW original). No one can beat Reimu at beach games and sports when she uses this attack. The "seaside" in the name indicates that this Spell Card lies on the boundary between the land and the sea. It is common knowledge that Japan is surrounded by a colossal barrier known as the sea. Perhaps this Gensokyo is a miniature version of Japan. Or maybe the similarities are just a coincidence. The Beach Shrine Maiden pays no heed to such things as she once again faces the east and puts her hands together in prayer.
A certain god made the beach ball she uses to play volleyball. It has the exact same functionality as the real thing.
You should be careful when playing kemari with Reimu. Whatever you do, don't try to receive the ball if she kicks it right at you.
It's the Beach Shrine Maiden's job to come up with new rules for games. If you decide on the rules without consulting her, it will be treated as an incident!
