Shinmyoumaru Sukuna
Shinmyoumaru Sukuna's Fantasy Rebirth Story
...Shinmyoumaru.
Shinmyoumaru
PLAYER. You made it.
Shinmyoumaru
I'm sure it wasn't easy getting here with the Lost Word Incident going on. You should rest for a while.
You seem a little different. Is everything all right?
Shinmyoumaru
Yeah, it's fine. Don't worry about me.
Shinmyoumaru
At times like these, everyone's gotta stay focused. That even includes us inchlings.
Shinmyoumaru
We're the best tricksters in Gensokyo, but when the time comes, we do our part as knowledgeable strategists.
Shinmyoumaru
We're small and weak, which means we know all about survival tactics. I heard my ancient ancestor did, too.
Shinmyoumaru
Right now, I'm devising a plan to stop the Lost Word Incident.
Really?! You always act like even more of a kid than me!
Shinmyoumaru
Hey!
Shinmyoumaru
I know I seem like an air-headed gal, but I'm actually a super smart genius.
Shinmyoumaru
We're not that different, me and you!
I-I guess!
Shinmyoumaru
Us girls grow up fast. A flower bud one day can bloom the next.
Shinmyoumaru
Which is why you gotta watch me closely. And not just 'cause I'm small!
R-Right, that makes sense...!
Shinmyoumaru
Don't forget, I'm a noble inchling princess, the descendant of a great hero!
Shinmyoumaru
When you think about it, I'm kinda perfect. Super cute, too.
I definitely agree with that last part!
Shinmyoumaru
Even though I'm cute, you don't try to kidnap me, which means I can trust you.
Shinmyoumaru
Some humans try to kidnap cute things, you know? You should be careful, too.
I should? ...OK, I will be.
Shinmyoumaru
Right then...
Shinmyoumaru
Let's get this super cute, super small meeting started.
Shinmyoumaru
...I've been researching my ancestor to help us win this fight. My ancestor from the age of the gods, that is.
Shinmyoumaru
And I've found an important phrase.
Shinmyoumaru
"Tokoyo no Kuni."
That's the place you go after you die... right?
Shinmyoumaru
It can be thought of in that way, but the Tokoyo no Kuni I'm talking about is the birthplace of my ancestor.
Shinmyoumaru
It lies far beyond the sea. So far that it's practically another world.
It sounds a bit like the legend of the Dragon Palace.
Shinmyoumaru
It's also similar to the Land of the Oni, where I... where all of us inchlings were imprisoned.
Shinmyoumaru
But I don't know how deeply they're connected yet.
Shinmyoumaru
All I know is that long ago, in a time when myth and reality were one and the same...
Shinmyoumaru
...people believed there was another world beyond the sea. Remind you of anywhere?
Yeah... Gensokyo!
Shinmyoumaru
That's right!
Shinmyoumaru
A distant land people used to believe existed but can no longer be found.
Shinmyoumaru
My ancestor left that place and came to the land that became Japan. Then, they traveled all around it with Lord Daikoku.
Shinmyoumaru
But when their task was done, they were sent back across the sea to Tokoyo no Kuni.
What's this got to do with resolving the incident?
Shinmyoumaru
The Lost Word Incident came here from another world, right?
That's what everyone seems to think.
...Oh, I see.
Shinmyoumaru
Whether we return it to where it came from, request help from people in other worlds―
Shinmyoumaru
―or, if it comes to it, leave this world behind entirely...
Shinmyoumaru
My ancestor's power will surely come in handy.
You can use Sukunabikona's power?!
Shinmyoumaru
Of course not! That'd make me some kinda super powerful god!
R-Right. I thought so...!
Shinmyoumaru
But...
Shinmyoumaru
If I use the power of the Miracle Mallet once more...
Shinmyoumaru
I might be able to do what my ancestor did.
Shinmyoumaru
I know it's risky, but I'm ready to―
No! You can't!
This time, the recoil from the magic retrieval effect―
―will make you disappear for sure.
Using the mallet is out of the question!
Shinmyoumaru
*gasp*
Shinmyoumaru
Y-You're right! Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking.
Just wait. I'll find another way to resolve the incident!
Shinmyoumaru
OK. Thank you, PLAYER. I really mean that.
I was asked to give you this.
It's from a mysterious god.
Shinmyoumaru
...
Shinmyoumaru
A mysterious god?
Shinmyoumaru
...
Shinmyoumaru
...
Shinmyoumaru
Hrmm!
Wh-What's wrong? Is it too big?
Shinmyoumaru
N-No, it's nothing like that!
Shinmyoumaru
Thanks, PLAYER. Thank the god for me, too, would you?
Shinmyoumaru
And tell her... I've received her message loud and clear.
Message? ...OK, I'll tell her.
Shinmyoumaru
While you're here, you should talk to Seija. She's outside keeping watch... and thinking of ways to beat the incident.
Good idea. I'll go find her.
Shinmyoumaru
Great. And remember to be careful out there.
Shinmyoumaru
I'm sorry, PLAYER.
Shinmyoumaru
It seems like...
Shinmyoumaru
I love Gensokyo a little too much.
Costume Presentation
Shinmyoumaru
I heard there's a god who can create youkai in Gensokyo. They remind me of Lord Daikoku and my ancestor. This means a descendant of inchlings is just the right person to accompany you! C'mon, put me in your pocket. Let's go see them!
