Cheat Items
I basically wanted to draw the items I used in the actual fights, but in the final stage I just ended up ramming through with Jizou+Mallet or only using Bomb+Mallet, so I had to change some parts...
The game of tag with the umbrella and the Wall-Passing Wicked Hermit in that brief panel was pretty fun.The new Shining Needle Sword
In this story, the Shining Needle Sword is a medium allowing one to use the Miracle Mallet's oni magic due to having sucked an oni's blood long ago. Seija stole the Sword alongside with the Mallet in order to use it. In order to go punish her, Shinmyoumaru replaced it with a brand new one. There's a reason for that: in ULiL, one of Ichirin's win quotes against Shinmyoumaru says "That needle was custom-made, right? In that case, you would have been better off getting a different weapon..."
That's where I got the idea of her getting a replica of the sword.Grassroots Youkai connections
DDC revealed the existence of the community called the Grassroots Youkai Network, but I personally think it's pretty widespread and connects a lot of Gensokyo's stray youkai. Excluding youkai in other organizations or stronger individuals - not counting the likes of a certain wolf - I think most of the weak and quiet youkai are members.
Also, even though Kyouko is actually a member of Myouren Temple, she was a weak stray youkai until just a few years ago, so she's still counted as a member.
I guess circulated fliers would be the main way of spreading information in an analogue society, huh?Shinmyoumaru stopping her attack
In the 8th Day, Scene 1 of ISC, Shinmyoumaru suddenly stops her attack with 30 seconds left on the clock. This was based on that behavior (a bug?).Gold Rush
The 13th Day's events of Seija stealing the Mallet, fighting Reimu and turning the danmaku into coins was based on "Danmaku Amanojaku ~ Gold Rush", a game shown at Digital Game Expo on November 16th, 2014. ＩIt had Seija using the Miracle Mallet (real) and the Substitute Jizou, so I imitated that part in the story, too.The Miracle Mallet Replica's ability
In the original game, the Mallet Replica's ability was just a simple "strike". However, if you use it as a support item, it strengthens your other item's effects. Because of that, I figured that its true cheat ability wasn't the strike itself, but still ability to connect with other items.The forgotten Seija
ISC had Seija make enemies of everyone around her, yet in WaHH she has no trouble blending in with other youkai as a crowd cameo. In the end, perhaps no one really worried about a weak youkai's rebellion and just forgot about it, or maybe this is just daily life in Gensokyo...
Based on that, in this story, she succeeded in her revolution but was then wiped from the memories of all Gensokyo. She then made a fresh start from square one and went off as a wanderer.Finally...
The points listed above include a lot of personal interpretation and my own ideas, so please realize that they definitely shouldn't be mixed up with the official setting. Again, if they clash with anyone else's interpretations, I have no intention of forcing them on anyone else, so just enjoy.
