I see Ao considers Eirin an immortal as well. Most people do, though it's implied that Eirin never drank the Elixir.

According to Eirin's profile on touhouwiki, it is pretty much the other way.

No, in Imperishable Night Eirin does pretty much confirm that she is a Hourai, but in Cage in Lunatic Runagate (or what was that novelization's title again...) she strongly implies that the Hourai Elixir is something any lunarian can make and Eirin herself never drank it.

If they had access to the princesses power maybe...

Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth shows that she is Eirin is capable of dying when Kaguya almost strangled her with a leek, and the former says that she glimpsed the other world. Also, didn't she go to Hakugyokurou in the Ghost Team's ending? Immortals cannot go there, hence Kaguya not being present in that ending while Eirin did.

Inaba x Inaba is barely canon and most of it is just gag crap.

I'm with Reisen, Eirin... wth are you talking about?

I get that it deals with Flandre's inability to see their "eye" because of their immortality, but damn... the way Eirin's putting it, just makes my mind go like Reisen's: "???????".

When Flandre noticed that she could destroy anything and everything, her mind first broke under this stress, and then she finally "accepted" this as a fact and started acting more normal. The hourai immortals challenge her basic understanding of the world.

This is a rather cool take. I hope Aozora does more stories about Flandre and the immortals.

...ohhhh, now I get it. She's so bothered because she has to rethink her entire idea on life, as far as she knows it, when she seems them... basically. Right?

Yeah, ok, that makes sense.
