Backstory

Sometime after the events Ten Desires, humans of the Human Village have appeared to lost hope due to the history of major incidents that at time threatened their way of life and seeing things as hopeless, decide to live in the moment and started partying and enjoying whatever goes on before them. The true cause however is a Menreiki (a being centered around various masks) named Hata no Kokoro who lost her mask of hope, throwing her balance of emotions out of control. She attempts to fix this by harvesting hope from the Human Village, causing the incident. Mamizou Futatsuiwa find her and feeling sympathy for her and puts together a plan to take advantage of those that would fight and use them to provide hope for her.

General Story

It appears all the scenarios occur at once but the order isn't exactly know besides ending with Miko/Futo's, Mamizou's then Kokoro's

Reimu's story

After a duel with Marisa, Reimu decides to resolve the incident and as she wins she starts to notice her massive popularity and how the villagers are reacting both being unusual. Reimu fights Kokoro, assuming she's out to abduct humans.

Marisa's story

After she duels with Reimu, she decides to do missionary work/popularity gathering with the fringe locations, where she encounters Koishi whose appearance mystifies her as Koishi with her nature can't exactly appeal to the audience. She fights Kokoro due to her wanting to steal Marias's hope.

Byakuren's story

After dealing with Futo's attempt to take the Temple's sign board, she decides to enter the fray herself to try restoring morale. She deals with Marisa (calling her an expendable character, much to Marisa's offense) and the other two big religious figures. She's caught off guard by Mamizou assuming Reimu's form but still wins. She goes to Kokoro hoping to help her.

Miko's story

Miko goes about challenging the other religious figures (Ichirin included) when she's confronted with herself (Mamizou in disguise), after winning over the Tanuki, she goes to see the core of the incident to find that the masks she made for Hata no Kawakatsu have become a youkai and after hearing her desire of the mask of hope, she decides to fight Kokoro to calm her down then apply the new mask she'd make.

Ichirin's story

Ichirin's guarding the temple when Marisa comes by wanting to avenge her loss to Byakuren by attacking her. After winning she decides to go investigate herself. She asks Reimu about where Byakuren went and gets the idea to help increase popularity. She goes to the ravine and underground where she fights Nitori and Kosihi. Interestingly enough Unzan can notice Koishi while Ichirin can't. Mamizou uses the form of Byakruen at first, something Ichirin takes great offense at. Mamizou seems to have called Unzan a youngster. Upon finding Kokoro, she decides fight her and resolve the incident.

Futo's story

It starts with encountering Marisa who mentions how Reimu lost to Miko, and after she deals with her, Futo decides to go out and find out what happened. She encounters Koishi, Ichirin, and Nitori (the last of which deciding to put her faith in shinto) and trying to find out what's happening. Mamizou assumes the form of Miko which she takes offense at and when she finds Kokoro, she gets pestered for the mask Miko's supposedly making.

Nitori's story

She's trying to run a stall by the temple when Byakuren confronts her over her pricing. They fight and after winning, Nitori finds herself getting into fights when all she wants to do is make money. She tries to convince Reimu into letting her open a stall there but she refuses, leading to a fight. Mamizou ends up surprised by Nitori appearing before her. When she finds Kokoro, she has the idea of trying to sell her some masks that might have some hope, provoking the final battle.

Koishi's story

Koishi simply wanders and getting into fights as she finds herself getting popular to the point where people notice her but she goes on wanting to see where things go. Mamizou directs her to Kokoro with hopes of helping her. Upon meeting Kokoro, Koishi reveals that the mask of hope fell into the underground and Koishi took it for herself and refuses to return it, causing the fight.
