Kasen put her elbows on the table, and rested her head on them. A resigned expression drifted onto her face, “Again, I have no real excuse… I saw as she grew jealous again, possessive of Anon-san and started isolating everyone from you and your father. I could’ve tried harder; I could’ve kept going over despite the rage in her eyes… but I knew that she’d just take it out on your father after… No, she would’ve hurt him anyway. I should’ve just weathered her anger, but I didn’t. For that Hana-san, I’m sorry for failing you.”

Hana knew she was genuine; she knew that the past should be just that: The past. Still, it did hurt, and nothing could change that, yet Hana did want to move forward. She didn’t want to become her mother; she didn’t want to fall into the rage and desperation she saw all around her growing up.

Hana crept her hand across the smooth surface of the small table, hesitated once she saw Kasen’s gaze fall upon her timid hand, then continued as she uttered with a slight blush creeping across her face, “I know that things aren’t the best and all… but I want us to be friends! Father would always talk about how he trusted you and you were a good person, so…”

A strange look ghosted over Kasen’s face, that guilt lurked, and something deeper, just behind her eyes despite the smile that lifted the ends of her lips. Kasen nodded, “You’re right, things aren’t the best but…” her real hand grasped Hana’s firmly, it’s warmth and underlying strength felt reassuring, “I want to get to know you properly, and when this is all over, I’d love to make up for lost time”


After that little conversation, Kasen seemed better. She told Hana to feel free to explore around while she freshened up. It was with a slight tone of embarrassment in her voice that she admitted that she wasn’t expecting guests and didn’t bother looking as proper as she should. So, like a weight was lifted from her shoulders Hana walked around the dojo on a whim.

The dojo itself was rather spartan outside of the living area, the hallways lacked much in the terms of artistry. Especially when compared to the trendier designs you’d find on the paper and wooden walls in some of the richer establishments. Compared to what Hana saw when she visited the spice merchants’ trade hall last time they contracted her to exorcise a still forming youkai that turned their spices to ash, the building was much less artistically inclined.

That said, despite the plain halls and bare wooden flooring the scale was hard to beat, the number of rooms and the scale of the dojo itself that made up the heart of the building was nothing to sneeze at. Though she wasn’t a good judge, the construction itself seemed a reflection of Kasen as well, there was never a squeaky floorboard or out of place panel to be seen.

Before Hana knew it, she was in the upper level of the dojo and Kasen was still no where to be seen, it’d only been around 10~ minutes if Hana was any judge. So, she wondered onwards, the second level was much like the first in many ways. Though if there was one difference, it was that the rooms that had their doors open were much more well-furnished. Hana realized with a bit of subdued interest that these must have been the guest rooms, judging by how each one was decorated with a different theme this must have been a hobby of hers.

Finally, she found herself at the end of the hallway, past many different rooms whose purposes were unclear considering hermits didn’t exactly take many guests. At the end of this hallway, there was one room that stood out, the sliding doors were wider than the others… and there was a bright pink doormat with the words, ‘a clean mind keeps their feet clean!’ laying outside them.

It was as Hana was wiping her feet that she realized that this must have been Kasen’s personal room, its decorations were certainly more… bold. The other rooms were traditional to put it nicely, archaic to it another way. Their ‘themes’ and decorations were carefully decided, well organized and tasteful, but also seemed like the way a granny would organize things. It reminded her the backroom that the granny at the bathhouse maintained when she showed off her collection of old scrolls and trinkets said to predate the barrier.

Kasen’s main room was a different beast entirely. She didn’t know what compelled her to enter, after wiping her feet, of course, but here she was. The room itself was… different, yes it had a traditional feel to things, the desk in the corner felt normal enough as well as the wardrobe and mirror that hung next to it. That was about the end of that though, in a corner of the room was a recliner similar to the one father had when she was young, was it also Kappa made? Along with that their other oddities. That wasn’t to speak of the haphazard placement of posters and other memories on the walls.

>I don't expect she get anything more than 1 or 2 chapter cameo in some manga.
I think not even that. in Miyoi's manga they barely make indirect reference to her. while the trio of Aya, Mamizou, and Suika are given a lot of stage time, even though the three of them have appeared a lot in the other manga.

>What is this?
Era games are a group of (usually) Japanese-developed text porn games.
They're not exclusively related to the Touhou franchise, but it's one of the series with most era games.

>Games usually discussed here
eraTohoTW - Comfy Touhou dating simulator with timestop shenanigans.
eraTohoK - Tactical game about conquering Gensokyo through any (absolutely any) means.
eraMegaten - Dungeon crawler based on the Shin Megami Tensei series, with tons of characters from other series (Fate, Touhou, Madoka, etc) included.

>How to play?
Run anchor.exe, japanese locale is advised so you don't run into untranslated text.
If you wish to manually update, delete old files aside the sav and dat folders to avoid any bugs.

>How can I help?
Read https://wiki.eragames.rip/index.php/Contributing for starters.
You could try your hand at translating dialogue, there's guides currently in TW folder (in #Translation) on what to do, not sure if it that folder exists in other games.

Another guide is:
1) Download an IDE. VS Code, for example.
1a) If using VS Code, install the EraBasic addon
2) Select UTF8 encoding
3) Open the ERB files and edit them
That way you can now edit files without much trouble.
The path for files to edit is usually the ERB folder:
K: ERB/口上
TW: ERB\口上・メッセージ関連\個人口上

You can also report bugs or typos when you see them.
If you'd like to either edit or add your own portraits for 2hus, the files are located within the 'resource' folder as webp. You can use paint.net to edit them.
