Kaguya Houraisan

Kaguya is an NPC and Rare Customer found in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost.

## Descriptions

### Bond Lv1

Rumor says she's the lunar princess and currently resides in Eientei. I really don't understand why she would give up living like as a princess and instead come to Gensokyo and live like a hermit.

### Bond Lv3

The lunar princess seems elegant, but somehow behaves with minimal moral standards... No wonder she's the master of that black rabbit (I'm talking about her heart)...

### Bond Lv5

Who knew that a noble princess also worries about jobs like us ordinary folks. You and I are not so different, Miss Kaguya. Since I'm a veteran when it comes to work experience, I should do my best to guide her and help her figure everything out!

## Tag Requests

* Japanese: *“I'm actually very interested in the Japanese concept of an "Ideal Woman".”*

## Spell Card

Turn back time and increase operation hours by 30 seconds.

*(Does not reopen the Izakaya past closing hours.)*

Fast forward time and decrease operation hours by 30 seconds. Will forcibly end operations if it reaches midnight.

## Tasks

As part of the main story (First discussed on March 13th, but starts on the 14th), you will be asked to settle a duel between Kaguya and Mokou. You do not have to actually do anything for this quest, but there are a few rewards you can collect from it: For the next two in-game days, they will reward you with 10 of each ingredient required for the dish the following morning. This is particularly useful as a source of Bamboo at a point in the game where it is not easy to get in large quantities.

There is also a unique achievement and picture in the album for each outcome. To get both, talk to Kaguya again after completing the main story; she will offer to restart this competition again. (You will not gain extra ingredients, however.) You will once again have three in-game days to sell the two cuisines. With this, you can restart the competition as many times as needed and get both outcomes in a single save.

## Bond Rewards

* Lv2: Steamed Egg & Bamboo Shoots recipe
* Lv3: Lunar Lover Biscuits recipe
* Lv4: Hourai Branch recipe
* Lv5: Visitor's Wafuku

## Strategies

Kaguya is difficult to please: all the cuisine tags she likes are either recipe-exclusive or require rare and difficult ingredients, and her drink preferences have little overlap. All this is to compensate for her insanely powerful spellcard: if you can get it, it is very, very useful.

* Cultural Heritage: Can be added via Lunar Herb, Bingdi Lotus, and Lotus Seed *(Lotus Seed is not recommended due to it also having Signature, a tag Kaguya dislikes)*. Shirayuki has this tag and Japanese.
* Japanese: Cannot be added via ingredients. Shirayuki has this tag and Cultural Heritage.
* Legendary and Wonderful: Available only on a handful of recipes, Fish Lotus Lamps has both. Can be added simultaneously with Udumbara.

As such, you can tick all of her preferences by making Shirayuki with an added Udumbara. At this point in the game, you should hopefully have Wriggle at Lv5, giving a consistent (if slow) stream of Udumbara, meaning you can likely fulfill most of Kaguya's requests. If need be and you have the currency for it, you can opt to intentionally aggravate Tewi and buy Udumbara or Lunar Herb from her punishment card for further supply.

Full Moon's Eve has Sake and Vintage: though highly expensive and very rare, Kaguya has the budget for it. Daiginjo also has both aforementioned tags and is cheaper. None of the other combinations are possible: as such, you should pick a drink that has Modern if it is specifically requested.

Kaguya is a **decently high priority character.** Her dishes are solid, though her cosmetic Lv5 reward means she requires little further attention after Lv4. However, due to the immense value of her spellcard (more time = more customers = more money), she is a blessing to have around, and as such increasing her bond level to Lv5 may still be a good idea, since max bond customers will always accept invitations.
