There once was a man from Nantucket.

Yaay~

>>5286169
Why is marisa looking at reimus boobs and not her face?

>>5286188
Wouldn't you?

>>5286191
Darn... you got me there.

>>5286191
Reimu has boobs?

Odd feeling this is about to get real sad.

im v4 Yukari

what the fuck is this? I thought she was going to die in danmaku battle or something...

>>5286272
>>5286259
Why is Gensokyo's medical technology so advanced?

>>5286283
It's its medical knowledge that's surprising. The IV device could have easily fallen in and/or been a neat coat rack in Kourindou.

Rest in peace, Reimu...

Isn't the first sip of the hourai elixir supposed to cure any disease? why didn't erin just give her that.

>>5286374
see
>>5286366

>>5286379
She's dead? reimu has become a zombie? remi turned her? what?

>>5286374
Because things must remain natural... if someone must die, for natural reasons, it's better like that.

Something like that. I can't explain it right but...

>>5286371
inb4 zombie reimu

>>5286387
In a world of immortals you'd think that dieing was the unnatural thing.

>>5286374
She can't just go giving out the Hourai Elixir all willy-nilly, that's serious shit.

Also, with a dead serious face I can say that Reimu literally has AIDS.

just when i gave up all hope of yuri

>>5286374
Two reasons.
One, it's the forbidden medicine. She'll never make it again.
Two, the Hourai Elixir makes one unable to become ill. Nobody said anything about a cure. It only makes the person to be incapable of becoming further subdued by disease. Curing them may be a different thing entirely.

>>5286398
Marisa's face is awesome there.

>new moon

>>5286403
You'd assume it would cure them in retrospect as well, otherwise a sick person who takes 3 sips would end up as eternally sick never being able to recover or die.

>>5286397
There's hope yet.
>>5286412

>>5286419

I'd believe it. Look at it this way. The disease which feeds upon her body also fees upon the Hourai Elixir. If she'll drink it, why wouldn't they?

>>5286428
cause the disease would be considered an alien presence? by that reasoning drinking kaguya's blood would make you immortal as well.

This doujin is awesome purely for having Aya and Yuuka wax rhetoric on Reimu.

>>5286440

nobody said it wouldn't.
A sure thing is that it's in the liver. There may be a small amount in her blood, or the fact that she's had it inside her for over a thousand years despite being blown up by Mokou may mean her body may actually produce some.

I like how all the immortals get together and have a little party whenever somebody dies

>>5286453
From what it looks like, it's just seeing who becomes the new Hakurei Shrine maiden.

>>5286450
If that were true erin might as well keep making the elixir cause kaguya is a living supply. kind of contradictory no?

>>5286440
I'd drink Kaguya's blood.

>>5286465
Reimu just went Ayanami on us.

>>5286459
I wouldn't think Eirin does that. But it's for sure that anyone who consumes the Hourai Elixir act as a supply to anyone who can drink it.
No one must drink it though. Immortality is a scary thing. It's the sort of thing where you'd be fed up with it, and want to kill yourself to get life over with but can't. You'd end up yelling at yourself "Why can't I die?!", before succumbing to not even thinking anymore due to all the years and years of living....

I don't get it.

Reading this while listening to bad apple made me go bawwwwwwwwww

Great story sir

>>5286483
A passionate yuri session with someone you really care about can cure anything

Demour402 is such a good circle.
They have my respect, and I hope they will keep on making good doujins like this.

Very enjoyable story.

>>5286481
If immortality is scary or not is irrelevant. The point is that erin said she would no longer make the elixir because it is forbidden, but the fact that kaguya herself is a living (and immortal) supply of the elixir kind of makes what erin is doing rather pointless. Anyone who wanted it could just take kaguya's blood instead.

>>5286500
or liver

I'd rather have Mokou's, though...

>>5286507
Whatever, anyone who drank the elixir previously would work.

>>5286465
So, uh.

What exactly happened?

eternity is relentless

>>5286516
I wish more doujin artists made Mokou's Phoenix wings like this, instead of out of fire or an extention of her body. It's more canonical, and looks alot cooler

mf where

>>5286393
But you should know that there's not 'inmortal' thing, not even in fantasy. I though we already learned that lesson. Things have a lifetime. Even if you leave a computer in a clean room, with the greatest environment for it, and you don't touch it in 100 years, when you turn it on after 100 years you will see it don't work (technically because the ROMs have already been erased by the pass of the time, etimologically because it died).

I think we already learned the lesson, /jp/.

>>5286515
Deep breath, well basically the mikos of the hakurei shrine are tasked with guarding the borders of the two worlds. But since they are human they will eventually die, but the shrine will always need a guardian of sorts, so when one miko dies their power simply passes onto another person who becomes the new miko.
The new miko is essentialy a different person but that miko will always be "reimu" as her power is always passed down to the next miko. The personality and memories may differ but it is still "reimu".

It is kind of like what roa did in tsukihime, or even what rei from eva was like.

>>5286530
I think you need to go look up the meaning of the word immortal. The point is that immortality defies that form of reasoning, if it is achievable in real life or not is another matter but in a setting where there is such a thing as immortality then it is possible.

>>5286531
Not really though, Reimu's innate ability to float over is her own. It's just a power/duty that is passed down. Family business, as it were.

It's not like you could be walking on a street one moment and suddenly find yourself as a teenage shrine maiden wearing a bow and a frilly dress and sweeping the shrine since the mikottitude passed to you when the former miko died.

ok, this one lost me. what the fuck happened?

>>5286544

Look, this guy was inmortal too.

>>5286554
>It's not like you could be walking on a street one moment and suddenly find yourself as a teenage shrine maiden wearing a bow and a frilly dress and sweeping the shrine
;_;

>>5286554
Then how did she live?

>>5286554
>Reimu's innate ability to float over is her own.

Isn't that because she draws power from the Border?

Enjoyable read, thanks op!

>>5286559
He wasn't, he was attempting to attain a form of immortality, there is a difference. Nero himself said what he wanted was to find out what awaited at the end of chaos. None of the characters in tsukihime had a true form of immortality, namely cause the story was based around the idea that everything eventually ends.
But that is a different setting however, like i said a setting where immortality is possible like in touhou, you will have immortals.

>>5286554
From the way i see it while they call it "power" it appears more then that. It would be more appropriate to call it a spirit, or simply duty like you said.
Like i said before, it's similar to what happened to roa and rei. It would be like if a house burnt down and you build another over that spot that was identical to the one that burnt down, it still would not be the same house but in every other regard it would be identical.

>>5286562
Lesbian sex is best cure?

reaction face detected

>>5286562
The disease wasn't deadly afterall? Bad dream end? Dunno, I wasn't really sure if she died and a new Reimu spawned or she didn't die. Doesn't really matter though. The point is just that the concept of Reimu is infinite, and as immortal as Yukari herself. Hakurei Reimu is a youkai almost, in a way.

To be honest, I would prefer a bad end. Something that makes you baaaaaw.

>>5286599
Your partially right, a good way of putting it would be that it's the concept of "reimu" that is immortal, not the person.

>>5286602
I like my happy ends thank you.

>>5286594
I repeat, there's no inmortality, not even in touhou. Touhou itself will end after a couple of years, as soon as you forget about it.

>>5286609
You are obviously failing to grasp the concept of a "setting".

>>5286609
Also, it is imMortality not inmortality, unless you are talking about something different.

>>5286609
Forget about Touhou? Surely you jest good sir.

>>5286609
Touhou will live forever in my heart, Anonymous. It's not like I just totally forgot about stuff I loved as a kid, so why would this be any different.

>>5286618
okay then, immortality. It does not exist.

>>5286627
>>5286620
Okay, don't forget about it, but you will die with it, so it will be forgotten anyway.

>>5286630
There will be immortal people within 50 years.

Well. Immune to aging, at least. That's almost the same thing if you live in a bubble.

>>5286630
In our known space/time continuum everything deteriorates at an atomic level, that is true.
Point is these settings are not part of our space/time/ continuum as they are fictional(?), hence it's possible there.

Think 4th dimension man.

>>5286633
Quit being so negative, God damn.

>>5286634
See >>5286530

>Even if you leave a computer in a clean room, with the greatest environment for it, and you don't touch it in 100 years, when you turn it on after 100 years you will see it don't work (technically because the ROMs have already been erased by the pass of the time, etimologically because it died).

You can extend your life a little bit, nothing else.

I am sorry, anons, you are already dead since the day you were a mere spermatozoid.

>>5286639
>Think 4th dimension man.

>>5286647
I was thinking more back to the future, but that works.

>>5286645
Humans aren't computers, bro. It's possible to kill aging and probably going to happen if we don't wipe ourselves out first.

>>5286652
Suspend, not kill.

>>5286645
no
we will extend our lives long enough to develop technology that would allows us to travel to a diffrent dimension/plane of existence where entropy does not exist.

>>5286634
>live in a bubble

I think about 99% of /jp/ has that covered.

>>5286652
Even if that were possible... are you thinking on what you say? I mean... think about it. Inmortality. You won't never die.

You will be condemned forevet to stay in this world, and see all your descendancy born and die, and you will see all the people you love die. And you know you will never scape of this prision.

Think about it, is that what you want?

>>5286664
Social bubble maybe..

>>5286574
How could she draw power from the border when it was a Hakurei shrine maiden who helped create it in the first place? The border doesn't generate energy.

>>5286664
In a social sense, sure, but in a physical sense, hell no. It takes a lot more than being a shutin to cut yourself off from pathogens.

>>5286672
You do know there's a difference between wanting something and questioning the possibility of something right?

And before you ask "why bother if you don't want it?", simple answer, curiosity.

No, the best part of this doujin is Yuka using a parasol at night.

>>5286672
What, you think I'd be the only person to get the treatments? Hell no. If a lowly NEET such as myself gets the immortality treatment, it's pretty safe to assume all my loved ones and poor people are getting them too.

We might get forcibly shipped off the planet when the population becomes unsustainable, though. Or killed in huge masses. Whichever is cheaper.

>>5286690
You can't be killed if your immortal, and if other people were made immortal as well it would mean i would be stuck with them for all eternity. That's just as bad IMO.

If something such inmortallity really exists, then... we'll meet again, in 200 years. And we will talk about this again.

If not... well... see you in hell!

>>5286672
No. I'm excited to see what will come after death. And there's a lot of other weird problems that come along with immortality.

But if we could stunt the physical effects of the aging process, that would be awesome. Maybe not live forever, but live a normal lifespan with the body of an 18 year old the whole time. I think that's worth pursuing.

>>5286698
True immortality is definitely impossible. Nothing is permanent.

>>5286704
So you can be immortal in hell but not here?

This thread is actually pretty interesting.

>>5286717
Something that existed before the creation of the universe could be truly immortal, if it were unbound by conventional physics.

>>5286738
That's cool. Too bad we cannot interact with it in any way.

This made my day. Thanks you op.

True ending

True end. This is how it really ends.

>>5286795
Marisa should say, "Is that so?"

rapeitshit plox

>>5286813

>>5286717
That's assuming there are no loopholes in the laws of physics, and currently we don't understand them well enough to say so.

>>5286455
at first i was all sad and i wished that reimu would live
but not like that
