Touhou VividDaybreak - Ibara Kasen
Ibara Kasen for Fanfic entry.
So... Why the Bandages?
Ever heard about those mummified Hermits? well, Kasen Tried, and Failed. it's very likely that She lost many part of her body because of it. her newest title is "The 2nd Coming of Wicked Hermit". (no gundam reference, i swear)
Kasen: Let me properly introduce my self then,
My name is Ibara Kasen, and i look up every single one of you, your bloodline are everything good in this land.
i have lived for a long time, but you, the Hakurei, all take it to a whole new level. you make me honored to even walk on the same ground as you do. i was a Hermit on a secluded forest once, but i'm in a better place now. just hit me with a request and i'll try not to disappoint you.
Otoha: i see.... Tell me something i never knew then.
Kasen: Your Great Grandfather Marrying a Shinigami.
Otoha: alright. i'm confused and impressed...
Kasen: (chuckles) Being a Hermit isn't all about Cheating Deaths, Mr. Hakurei...
