"This one maybe?"

She picked up another odd looking mushroom. To be completely frank, Marisa Kirisame had no idea if what she was picking up would be useful or not, but then again, most of her works were mostly made by trial and error. She wished she had the books in which she had wrote down the specifics of most of her potions, but she suspected the reagents here would be vastly different from what she had living in the Magic Forest.

When she first came here, she had no idea what to expect, since this was the first taste of the Outside she had ever experienced for any significant amount of time. Marisa was ecstatic about it, and would have rushed around and then bragged about it to Reimu, but she had no real idea how to get back to Gensokyo, or even how she passed through the barrier to get here in the first place.

"This should be enough." She stretched out, then sighed. "Its a good thing there's at least some mushroom I recognize here."

There was a town a flying distance away, but since she was rather unfamiliar with their culture, she had decided to make a makeshift shelter in this forest for the moment. Plus that huge tree reminded her of that creepy barren cherry blossom tree in the Netherworld. Making a shelter was easy enough; she had simply found a hollow fallen tree and cleaned out the interior enough for her to live in.

Done collecting the mushrooms, she got on her broomstick, careful not to spill the mushrooms from her overstuffed apron, and started her way back to the shelter. Perhaps she would check out the city later on in the night.
