[Oh, she didn't mind talking about her world. Talking about her world by proxy meant talking about herself, and that was her favoritest topic in the whole wide world, because she was definitely a big deal in her own eyes. So it was easy to get her maneuvered away from the uncomfortable topic of Midgard to the weird reality of Gensokyo.
She put in an order for Nabeyaki before letting Tifa order afterwards, idly looking up.]
So, I'm from heaven actually. Didn't die. My family used to serve a group of monks at a temple and monastery who attained enlightenment. When they went to heaven, we got pulled along in honor of the service. The monastery was pretty remote.
And even afterwards, all spiritual beings either stay in heaven or hell, or come down to very remote places. Most of the youkai of my world live in the valley of Gensokyo or beneath it. There's just one human village. The rest of the world stopped believing in them, and that got ... dangerous for everyone. So the valley's behind a barrier. The rest of the world stays out, they stay in.
So... it's smaller, but there's youkai everywhere just like here.
