Somewhere in the distance, far from the bamboo forest, one was sitting down with closed eyes. The breeze was refreshing and she decided to enjoy it for the time being. Of course, she had many ideas of what to do today but none of them seemed to grab her interest for now, it truly was laziness.

???: Hey, are you just going to sit there all day?

???: ...Just when I thought I could get a moment to relax.

The one on the floor groaned and reluctantly opened her eyes to greet the newcomer with a glare. Unfazed by her reaction, the second person stepped inside with her usual grin and sat down near the table.

???: Is that how you greet a guest Reimu, you sure are heartless.

Reimu: Says the one who always bring chaos, leave.

The shrine maiden in red sighed at the past catastrophes that occurred, a pain in the ass for her to deal with. Silently watching those painful memories once more, she recovered her annoyed glare from earlier. Not changing her attitude, she turned around and faced the wall.

Reimu: I'll leave... in 5 hours.

???: Come on, I found something interesting this time, I promise!

Reimu: Then go on your own, I need some sleep.

She slowly rolled around the floor and stared at the ceiling, ignoring the other person inside the room with her. Getting a little upset at her stubbornness, she slammed down her right hand on the table.

???: Plus, isn't it your duty to make sure youkais don't cause any trouble, this is clearly suspicious!

Reimu: ...What is it this time? It's probably not much anyway.

She moved to a sitting position and glanced at the paper left on the table. It was black with letters written on it with a golden color.

Reimu: What are you really aiming for Marisa?

She asked the witch who suddenly asked for her assistance for something that she didn't want to do. She shook her head and her blond hair fluttered in the air to accompany her movement.

Marisa: Nothing, I say that we should do what we usually do.

Reimu: ...

She grabbed what the girl in front of her left and began reading with a lack of passion, emotionless even.


"Marisa Kirisame, the witch in name and a demon deep inside. The one with the eyes of a true veteran when it comes to knowledge beyond your comprehension and a selfishness that many despise, unable to depart from your stolen possessions. The one wicked who tries to play the innocent card, sinner of knowledge.

You have received an opportunity to expand your desire to acquire the unknown. Your search for books will never be completed inside this small bubble known as Gensokyo and thus have been chosen to have the chance to gain anything. All can be given but all can be taken away from you.

Indeed, complete the test waiting for you in the caverns underground, go find a door into walls under the earth and receive what you desire or lose and become that very thing that people will desire. The outcome is in your hands, kill the opponents facing you and reach for the end.

...They may try to beg for their lives, they may try to make you feel sentimental and convince you that they are victims but none of them are human, kill them with no hesitation and show them that you truly deserve your reward. After all, you cannot get your reward if they remain alive."
