If people don't come to Reimu's shrine because of the youkai that reside there, why doesn't she just realize things and cut all ties with her non-human friends and never let them in? That way her shrine could be succesful and she would actually get paid when solving incidents instead of people not even knowing she did.

She should make her mother proud and care for the future of the Hakurei instead of having all that friendship crap.

Every non-human (except Marisa/Sakuya/Sanae) comes to her shrine frequently as a hangout place and there's constant parties even, so people ought to know where it's located, since it's the Human Village's shrine.

Thing is, it's close to the Youkai forest, not to mention the above mentioned youkai gathering, which scares off the villagers.

>> No.6929070 [DELETED]

You fail to realize that Reimu doesn't care much about it.

Not to mention that doing such a thing would not only cause a huge bad reputation (it's just wrong to do so being a Shrine Maiden) but also make Youkai who lost their place to roam around anywhere else.

Also, she has a good reputation with Youkai and is friends with all of them. No one holds grudge against others in Gensokyo after all.

She can't, she made an agreement when she settled the spellcard rules with the ''Vampire King''. Everything would be peaceful between the youkai and the humans, if they wanted to have a fight for kicks then they'd have to use danmaku instead, to which many agreed. However, the villagers still don't trust the youkais and are scared of them. Reimu still has the obligation to solve incidents though, whether they involve youkai or not.

Actually Reimu isn't as desperate for donations as she is in fanon, she does feel sorry for not having many donators though. Her main trait is being easygoing.

She may not look like it (much), but she actually cares for her friends.

Err, "Vampire King", no. What bs are you spreading?

Everybody who puts his name under a spellcard signs the contract. That's it. Most youkai agree to it since they want to fight Reimu, but still don't want to purge their existence by getting rid of the Hakurei border. Others are just scared that Reimu will exterminate them seriously.

Yukari should spread the handhelds that she keeps as shown in CoLA. That way everyone could solve the bored-girl-being-mischevious and stop them once and for all. If energy is an issue then just go to Nitori's to get Okuu powered batteries.

>>6929201
No, it's not written in PMiSS. You have confused two stories here so I will set it straight.

The story about the contract with the vampires happened when the vampires first set foot into Gensokyo. The vampires did what they want without restraint and the youkai of Gensokyo who lived in semi-peace for so long had grown weak. But the sage youkai managed to make a devils contract with the vampire race which forbid the vampires to harm humans as long as the sage youkai provide them with blood.

The second is the part about the spellcard rules. It's only one little page in PMiSS, so read it again. It's a completely differnt story.
The spellcard rules were introduced by Reimu herself.

Here:

They went on a rampage when they first appeared in Gensokyo, lost against powerful youkai, and a settlement was reached as they finally made a contract (*2).
They went on a rampage when they first appeared in Gensokyo, lost against powerful youkai, and a settlement was reached as they finally made a contract (*2).
The details of this contract are that the youkai will offer them humans from which to feed (*3); in return, the vampires will not attack humans living in Gensokyo.

2: A devil's contract is absolute, thus one can never betray it.
3: It's said they are outside humans whose deaths are of no consequence (suicides, etc.)
The spellcard rules were probably drafted by Yukari, or at least it's implied that way and then enforced by Reimu.

My bad, I pointed towards the wrong article, what I said was correct, however, this is the article I meant:

http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Perfect_Memento:_Reimu_Hakurei

>She was eventually able to disperse this rebellion by defeating the powerful vampire and establishing a contract of behavior prohibiting various actions. Some of the more willful youkai found these terms distasteful and entered into discussions with the Hakurei shrine maiden. The shrine maiden, who was also tiring of a peaceful daily life with no out-of-the-ordinary occurrences, agreed to the youkai point of view that some battles were necessary. The result of this were the spell card rules, which allowed duelists to (seemingly) stake their lives in individual combat (*4).
