Eika Ebisu
Eika Ebisu's Fantasy Rebirth Story
(Looks like I lost all the enemies...)
Gotta give Eika her present, quick!
???
Hm? Did someone call my name?
Eika
Oh hey, PLAYER! Perfect timing!
Eikaaa! I've been looking all over for you!
Whaddya mean, perfect timing?
Eika
I just finished a test run of you-know-what! I didn't push it too far, but I actually pulled it off.
Eika
You told me ages ago that my ability to stack stones might have some incredible uses, remember?
Eika
Back then, I thought it was pointless. The little oni always knock my stacks down.
Eika
But when I gave it a shot...! I still don't get all the technical stuff, but progress is progress!
Eika
Turns out, I'm amazing!
So you've been training in secret!
I've always known you were amazing!
Eika
Teehee!
Eika
I've still got a long way to go, but lemme show you what I've been working on!
Eika
Oh, and while you're with me, you don't have to worry about enemies.
Eika
You'll see why soon enough!
Eika
Whoa! This outfit is... perfect!
I just know it's gonna look great on you!
Eika
Not to mention, this was the perfect time to give it to me! It totally caught me by surprise.
Eika
Thanks so much, PLAYER! And thank the sages of Gensokyo for me when you see 'em!
Eika
They must have realized what I'm made of. Honestly, that might be the best part.
Eika
OK, better put this away before it gets dirty.
Eika
Let's get back to the Ultra High-Speed, Ultra High-Precision Stone Stacking Game I showed you earlier.
Eika
I used to call it the Ultra Stone Game for short... but now I've changed it to Stone Computer!
Eika
You once told me that even without knowing hard math...
Eika
If you follow simple rules and stack stones precisely...
Eika
You can solve basically any equation, no matter how complicated it is. Right?
Th-That was kinda a long time ago... but yeah!
Eika
I'm definitely not good at math. Heck, who is?!
Eika
So I didn't get why you'd tell me all that stuff.
Eika
But then I realized that stone stacks can be just like an abacus! Not that I ever use one...
Eika
They can be kinda like that Tower of Hanoi game, too.
Eika
But you were right. I CAN use stones to solve equations.
Eika
I even ran some simulations to predict exactly when you'd show up here!
You did?! That's, like, SUPER advanced stuff!
Eika
It took a ton of stones, and I had to get all the kids to help. Even then, I only got the answer just before you arrived.
Eika
But I'll get faster with practice. Then I'll be able to calculate and predict all kinds of things.
Eika
The possibilities are endless!
Eika
It's actually gotten really fun. Even the little oni who knock my stacks down are kind of like... cache clearers?!
Eika
There's no shortage of stones around the Sanzu River or kids who love helping out.
Eika
And honestly, who doesn't love stacking stones?!
Eika
I'm doing exactly what you hoped I'd do, right?!
Yeah, but on a scale I never imagined!
Eika
Really?! Yay! I haven't felt this much self-confidence in ages!
Eika
I always thought my ability couldn't help others. But I guess it's not about what you got, it's about how you use it!
Eika
I still don't know what my Stone Computer can do, but still!
I have a feeling it's gonna help a LOT of people!
In the outside world, they use computers for everything.
Eika
They do?! You sure know a lot!
Eika
Especially considering you lost your memories. You musta been some kind of super genius back home!
Haha, I doubt it!
(Seriously, though, why DO I know all this stuff?)
Eika
I can't wait to help more people...
Eika
I've already found one great use for Stone Computer, though.
You have?!
Eika
Yep. I've been predicting enemy movement and bullet paths! Avoiding the enemies is a breeze now.
Eika
That's why I said you're safe with me.
Eika
Heh heh. Pretty cool, right?
It's like a radar... or a weather forecast machine!
You're... You're... AMAZING!
Eika
Heh heh. I'll use my amazing new powers to protect you.
Eika
I'll accompany you as far as I can. That should help a little.
Nuh-uh. It'll help a lot!
Eika
Well, this is just the beginning. From now on, call me Super Eika!
Eika
I'm a leveled-up fortune god armed with the power... of math!
Costume Presentation
Eika
I don't know how useful stone-stacking arithmetic is. We just enjoy stacking stones. If it provides you with a valuable answer... all the stillborns' work will have paid off. When this is over, let's have a serious battle for the champion's crown!
