“Hakurei Shrine Experience.” This is very difficult to say while keeping a straight face. I wonder who can, because indeed it is hard.

“Hakurei,” you say, while grinning like Seiga did. “Hakurei” is its name. But then, thinking of “Hakurei,” you think about the broken Hakurei marriage vows that underpin its foundation. You think about the intrinsic mockery of the Hakurei name it presents. You think about how its very existence threatens the balance of Gensokyo.

Bun then, the funniest is coming: “Shrine.” Yes, now, you cannot contain your laughter. A “Shrine” it is called despite being a brothel staffed by and catering primarily to youkai, an establishment so morally bankrupt it’s invented entire new vice industries by itself and requires controlling the entire media to maintain public support. A monument to short sighted greed and lust yet still calling itself a “Shrine.”

And now, here is the end of the fun: “Experience.” Now you’ve fallen on the ground, laughing so hard that you cannot breathe. An “Experience” founded chiefly on being able to ignore the emptiness in Anon’s eyes, full of smalltime youkai all fighting for Anon among themselves, giving strange names to their positions, full of first-wives and sister-wives. An “Experience” that will self-destruct before Spring begins while Taoists and Buddhists divide Anon’s illegitimate children among themselves.
