< Fujiwara no Mokou | Back to Title of Contents | Hakurei Shrine > Human Village Threat level: Low Encounterable youkai: Were-beasts, Fairies, Ghosts, etc. The place where most of the humans in Gensokyo live. Although many youkai also visit the village to shop, they are rarely violent, so it is a relatively relaxed place (*1). Everything necessary for human life is supplied here. Moreover, as there are humans who work as youkai exterminators in the village, it is possible to lead a safe life here. As for why there are no attacks on the human village, the truth is that it is protected by wise youkai (*2). As long as the humans don't leave the village, they won't meet any harm. Even if you were to meet a youkai in the village, you should greet them respectfully as if they were your elder (*3). Moreover, many stores are kept open late at night, but that is when they are for the exclusive use of youkai. Since many youkai are active at night, such stores are quite prosperous. It is said that youkai are good customers. It is also a common occurrence for humans and youkai to enjoy meals together, particularly in places that serve alcohol. 1: Of course, the Hieda family lives here as well. 2: If the humans of Gensokyo perished, the youkai would also be troubled. 3: There is a high probability that they are far older than you. < Fujiwara no Mokou | Back to Title of Contents | Hakurei Shrine >
