The Hakurei Shrine showered in cherry petals, the Youkai Mountain in the middle of Autumn, snowing in the Forest of Magic; the seasons are all over the place in the supposed Midsummer. Due to some strange force, fairies gained unfathomable strength and are going berserk. Under the undeniable incident, the girls set out to investigate and find the perpetrator behind it.
