Chapter Thirty One: Who Spared the Rabbits? (December 10, 2015)

Summary: Looking back on the events of the last year, Reimu worries whether Gensokyo has the power to contend with the Outside World on equal terms, and is thankful that the Great Hakurei Barrier remains strong. The cause of the urban legend incident was neutralised, but the urban legends themselves haven't disappeared; according to Eirin they should fade away in time, but Reimu worries that it's too late and they've already "gotten into the roots".

Her musing is interrupted by the appearance of a rabbit, which is out at an unusual time of day. Marisa arrives to point out a locator mark inscribed on its claw, explaining that rabbits have started being sold as pets in the Human Village. Reimu is baffled by the idea of keeping rabbits as pets instead of just eating them, to which Kasen points out that they were quite popular back in the Meiji era. Suspecting kappa involvement due to the unusually high-tech locator devices, Reimu questions Nitori. She learns that while the kappa have plans to cash in on the rabbit boom, they're not responsible for it, and are as impressed by the technology as she is.

Kasen's own investigations lead her to the Bamboo Forest of the Lost, where she voices her disgust at Tewi Inaba for selling her own kind, especially when Tewi is old enough to remember how humans treated rabbits in the Meiji boom. Tewi takes Kasen aside and informs her that she is very aware of how the rabbit boom started and how quickly it ended, but wanted some of the younglings to experience the luxurious treatment that those rabbits received. When Kasen retorts that many rabbits were thrown away or killed, Tewi makes a disturbing expression and informs her that the majority of rabbit youkai were born from pets that were discarded back then - her people are "the rabbits who have seen heaven, and lived through hell". Snapping back to her usual cheerful smile, she ends up convincing Kasen to buy a rabbit herself. Back home, Kasen decides that Tewi is just as troublesome as her Lunarian tenants, but that in this case neither rabbits nor humans have done anything wrong.
