Happy New Year! I'll be slicing through the cyber garden with my beams this year as well!
Introduction
Happy New Year! This is Youmu Konpaku, cyber gardener on duty again this year. It's been ages since I've had a proper New Year's. Ever since you took over communications, traveling between worlds has been a lot smoother. Right, Reisen? Wh-What? You think I'm overly excited? I'm not! I'm just investigating this endless New Year world because it's my first assignment of the year as a gardener! ...Reisen? Are you even listening?!
Purple Heart
Uh-oh... My beams are acting up again... Wh-Whoaaa!
Blue Heart
As an official Ys gardener, I'll make sure the cyber garden stays in perfect shape this year too!
Green Heart
Well, I suppose this counts as part of my sword training. With all this interworld interaction, I might stumble upon a whole new fighting style!
Orange Heart
In this New Year's world, it's New Year's all year round! So let's save the serious talk for another time. It doesn't really suit the holiday spirit!
Pink Heart
Lady Yuyuko keeps filming me while I'm trying to focus on my work, then posts the videos somewhere online! She just says, "It's New Year's, and you're cute, so it's fine!" Am I cute, though? ...You think I am? *blushes*
Winter
New Year's is here! The fun and festive season is here, and I'm all set to start work on my new zodiac topiary... or should I say, zootopiary! Wait... are you cold? Let me turn on my beams for you!
Login
If you ask me, Reisen's the one getting all excited just because we're in a world where New Year's never ends. She's been going on about New Year's sales and how Cyber Eientei needs all sorts of stuff! To be honest, Cyber Hakugyokurou's in the same boat.
Enhancement
I sharpened my beam blades with the beam whetstone! Now I'm all set for the year!
Return
I think I've sharpened my beams more than enough for the year's first mission!
Home 1
Lately, I've been really into topiary! I was thinking of trimming the garden trees into the shape of this year's zodiac animal. ...Wait, what is this year's zodiac again? Heh heh.
Home 2
So you're saying trimming trees in the cyber garden is basically 3D modeling? Wait... what's 3D modeling? It sounds kind of fun!
Home 3
This right here is what you get when you enhance the Roukanken and Hakurouken with force beams and some kind of carbon-like material! Look, I can even combine them into a giant pair of scissors! Pretty cool, right?
Reaction 1
A long time ago, there was supposedly a paradise called "Ys" somewhere.
Reaction 2
Apparently, that's where our organization got its name.
Reaction 3
Wow, you sure like to nap... even on New Year's! And on my lap, no less! Well... I guess I don't mind. *pats head*
Task
A task? I don't know... I just don't think it's going to work out!
Task Complete
You completed the task? Good for you!
Mail
There's a New Year's greeting card in the mail! ...Oh, wait, never mind. It's just a regular letter.
Errand Finished
Oh, someone's back. I wonder if they found a beam whetstone!
Start of Battle
Happy New Yeaaar! Hehe!
Mid-Wave
I'm making you all my first whetstones of the year!
Victory
Lady Yuyuko! How about a topiary shaped like sushi? It's perfect for New Year's, don't you think?
Defeat
Hey, it's New Year's! We're allowed to have some fun!

Character Information
Temperament: Katen
Katen (a Touhou LW original) refers to a sky completely filled with flowers. This is an apt temperament for Youmu, the cyber gardener, from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations.
She has retained the same temperament. (Strong against Moon Essence.)
Ability/Backstory: Capable of handling sword techniques (Sealed - Celebration)
The ability of Youmu Konpaku (B3) from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). Her ability doesn't seem all that different from the B3 Universe Youmu's. That said, this world has far too many interworld travelers.
Youmu isn't good with complex concepts. They're too much for her to handle. This world's Youmu is no different.
Youmu finished her cyber-garden work and went New Year's sale shopping with Reisen. Explanation will therefore be provided in her absence. This Youmu comes from a world that is dominated by the Capital through total surveillance. So how could she travel between worlds? Because matters with the Capital have already been resolved in her world. Unfortunately, explaining how they were resolved, and what that resolution looked like, isn't so simple.
Youmu from worlds where matters were never resolved would not have left their world, and some Youmus would never cross over into this world even if matters in their worlds were resolved. On the other hand, since matters can be resolved in many different ways, the number of possible B3 Youmus who do arrive in this world is practically limitless. However, this raises a concern. Spacetime is finite, as is the matter within it. This implies that the information capacity tied to a single universe is limited. What would occur if all Youmus were to converge there all at once? Would competition arise over Youmu's ecumenical niche? Or would the universe collapse in an explosive failure?
Those scenarios may occur, but it won't happen right away. What happens immediately is far worse. Once a universe is crammed full of information, everything inside it stops moving, in space and in time. Just like a warehouse packed to the brim, where nothing can be rearranged. Would that universe be cold, or would it be hot? Either way, it marks an ending for that world. There would be no change at all, and everything would remain the same forever.
Such an outcome is, of course, unacceptable, which is why interworld travel needs proper traffic control. But how can a single universe be kept from becoming completely full? The solution is the consolidation of overlapping information. Similar Youmus share the majority of their destinies. Different Youmus still share a considerable portion of their destinies. Even entirely different Youmus share basic destiny patterns, like names, personalities, and core traits. If destinies are divided into information units and duplicates are merged, the universe's capacity as a gigantic storage device is no longer wasted. This is why individual destinies can diverge and converge, and it's how destinies can be sorted into Star Systems. However, this inevitably destabilizes the sense of self.
Each individual's destiny is their own. Each individual's perception is their own. Nevertheless, the framework of infinite parallel worlds rejects this as an entitlement. If the same photo exists in your storage and a stranger's storage, that data will be consolidated whether you want it to be or not. Youmu, who relies on such a frightening mechanism to travel between worlds, has at least learned to adapt to it, even if she does not fully understand it.
Shopping with Reisen was fun, and at the same time, tedious. Time and again, she watched Reisen examine similar outfits, fuss over the same things, and reach the same conclusion.
"Hmm... this one feels a bit too mature. It might suit my master, though."
"You said that already."
"This one's a little too flashy. Not really my style... but the Princess might like it."
"You're repeating yourself!"
"These are way too small overall. Well, I guess they'd fit Tewi just fine."
"You're like a broken record."
"...Shut it, Youmu. You're being annoying!"
Reisen's irritation faded almost as soon as it appeared. When she turned her gaze from the shop window toward Youmu, all she saw was a walking tower of cosmetic boxes. With outstanding balance and a unique intuition, Youmu was able to carry a load far exceeding her own height, even without a clear field of vision. The sight was laughable, but something Reisen was thankful for. She let out a small snort and quickly regained her smile. Needless to say, Youmu noticed none of this.

Youmu had to finish her chores before heading out to catch the New Year's sale with Reisen, which may or may not have been a date. The Cyber Hakugyokurou's cyber garden serves as Cyber Youmu's cyber workplace for her cyber job. It may sound confusing, but Hakugyokurou has been operating like this for a long time under the the Capital's rule. It's basically Hakugyokurou inside cyberspace. Youmu doesn't really understand it either.

Beam Pruning
The Focus Shot of Youmu Konpaku (B3), from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). She kicks off her New Year's gardening.
The cyber garden work of a cyber gardener mainly involves cyber-cutting cyber garden trees, such as cyber cherry blossoms, which is essentially data editing. However, within the ultimate UI known as cyberspace (arguably a VR space), this work can be done far more intuitively. Youmu believes she is merely trimming garden trees, but she's actually editing data at incredible speed. Perhaps this makes her a cog in some larger system... but of course, Youmu has no idea.

Leaving behind a smiling Lady Yuyuko, Youmu headed out with Reisen. She was certain that just about every kind of New Year's entertainment could be found in this world of endless New Year's celebrations. Events were being held everywhere, making it feel like some sort of amusement park. Youmu's excitement built as she looked around. She turned her eager gaze toward Reisen, only to find that she wasn't there. Reisen hadn't moved a single step beyond the shopping area near the entrance.

Youmu got slightly annoyed. She felt Reisen was being a little too selfish. They were there for work, but Reisen was treating it casually, thinking about shopping the entire time. To Reisen, though, the criticism felt unfair, since Youmu had been just as captivated by spinning tops and flying kites.

Spirit Power Dual Wave Blades - First Cut of the Year
The Last Word of Youmu Konpaku (B3), from the world delirious with New Year's celebrations (a Touhou LW original). She unleashes her cyber determination to try and resolve the big incident.
The New Year's games didn't feel fun to Youmu. The mood had soured. She figured Reisen must be upset, too, having her shopping cut short. Earlier, when they played hanetsuki, the shuttlecock came flying back at Youmu at bullet-like speed. As the victor, Reisen drew all over Youmu's face with ink. She said she wasn't angry, but Youmu didn't believe it. The conversation stalled, and the atmosphere grew increasingly awkward. Just as Youmu was about to suggest they head home, a familiar-sounding voice called out, offering to take a photo of the two of them. They agreed, and the photo was ready almost instantly. Their expressions were absolutely awful, but seeing it made them laugh. It was the first time they'd laughed together all day. Reisen chuckled and remarked that Youmu looked just like a sulking child when she made that face.
