The long severe winter came to an end, and Gensokyo's season of awakening arrived. The cherry blossoms that finally began to bloom among the faintly lingering snow would likely serve as an appropriate companion for a great banquet even the next day. The Hakurei Shrine's shrine maiden, Hakurei Reimu, would in short order be worrying about the thought of those nefarious people causing an uproar on the Shrine Grounds, while the coming warm spring and the dancing cherry blossoms brought excitement.

In the early dawn of the next day, a meteorite fell from the sky into Gensokyo, setting fire to the forest and the cherry trees.

Reimu: Of course I wished for a warm spring of dancing cherry blossoms, but I think this is a little bit much. Marisa: Ame no Kagaseo* is really going all out this time, don't you think? [When did you think it was coming?] Kirisame Marisa pointed at the sky, which was growing light as she spoke.

[Normally, at the beginning of the year Reimu would have borrowed the power of Amaterasu to exorcise Ame no Kagaseo. On that night, the morning star was shining brilliantly, to the point it looked as if it was noon.] And so, overcoming the sun with the darkness of night - it was an omen that meant the power of the Youkai would increase.


The place where the devil lives, the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

At the same time, the residents of the world of the night went out with great joy to welcome the event.

Remilia: This time! This time it's the Morning Star's* victory! Patchy: This time the age of darkness has come, huh? -cough cough- Sakuya: I wonder. Last time it was just premature joy because of a group of fools .

In contrast to her two masters who were forgetting themselves in joy, the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Izayoi Sakuya, watched the evil star with an air of composure, continuing to watch skeptically until the end. That was because, due to a prank carried out by Marisa and the Fairies, the same kind of thing had happened in years past. At that time, putting Remilia back into a good mood, who had been disappointed upon learning the truth, had been quite the hardship.

Remilia: It's fine, this time a meteor fell as well, right? This is something a mere human wouldn't be able to pull off.

The unexpectedly composed master gave an order to Sakuya, who was impressed with her words. Since she couldn't go out under the sunlight, Sakuya would go in her place to determine the true nature of this unusual phenomenon. And also, to stop the Hakurei Shrine Maiden and her friends from taking back the power of the Daytime and the Sun.

The Shrine Maiden of the Sun, the Witch of the Stars, and the Maid of the Full Moon. As if in competition, the three humans took off to the forest where the Meteorite had fallen.

The World of Darkness was filled with the light of the stars. That light dispels the darkness before your eyes, but at the same time gives birth to new shadows in the distance. That is the chaos of Yin and Yang, the indivisible pair. In a place with light, there is darkness. Even in a world of darkness, the light is sure to come...

"She" knew that.
