■ 1. Incident
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
|
||
Another villain threatens to turn the land of dreams into a place of terror.
|
||
The barrier is disrupted. Unknown forces reach for control over the borders
|
||
themselves, throwing all of Gensokyo into chaos.

|
||
○ Kirisame Marisa
|
||
|
||
Because it’s a fan game after all.
|
||
|
||
Just at the beginning of spring, Marisa went to check the shop’s shelves,
|
||
only to notice that her cash box was as empty as the shop itself. Usually,
|
||
at least a few customers would show up eventually, but not that day.
|
||
|
||
She was really bored.
|
||
|
||
After a quick glance around the store, a brand new issue of the Bunbunmaru
|
||
Newspaper that was lying on the table caught her eyes. At least that one is
|
||
never late.
|
||
|
||
“News Exclusive: Border Broken?!”
|
||
|
||
Her eyes flashed in excitement as she read on.
|
||
|
||
“[…] large gathering of curious youkai […]”
|
||
|
||
“Okay, I’ll better check it out!”, she thought, happy about having found a
|
||
better pastime than looking after her depressingly empty shop.
|
||
|
||
“Time to spark some ass!”
|
||
|
||
|
||
○ Konpaku Youmu
|
||
|
||
Because Youmu is awesome.
|
||
|
||
A blossomless spring dawn in the Netherworld. Shattering noises cut through
|
||
the gardens of passed souls. Noises not even ghosts can enjoy.
|
||
This ending night was in fact nothing like a normal night. The entire
|
||
Netherworld was awake early, including Yuyuko-sama and of course a certain
|
||
half-phantom girl.
|
||
|
||
“I cannot sleep like this. Can the restless not have at least this kind of
|
||
rest? Something really needs to be done about this, or I will go insane.”
|
||
|
||
“Of course, Yuyuko-sama. I shall slash every little clangor in this world
|
||
until your sleep is left undisturbed!”
|
||
|
||
The fact that Hakugyokuro is closely connected to the border makes it
|
||
sensitive to changes of the border’s structure. Youmu was aware of that,
|
||
which led her to the decision to investigate this “border breaking” rumor
|
||
first.

■ 4. Bosses
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
|
||
○ Stage 1 Boss
|
||
Cirno
|
||
|
||
Clueless about the course of events, she still jumps into action with full
|
||
force. Her reckless courage may seem like foolishness to others, but she is
|
||
bound and determined to bend history in her favor.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
○ Stage 2 Boss
|
||
Kagiyama Hina
|
||
|
||
Hina was the first considerably strong youkai to show up at the place of
|
||
action, which is why she ended up as the inofficial overseer of the growing
|
||
crowd. Actually, the only thing she wanted was to maintain a bit of law and
|
||
order in her forest.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
○ Stage 3 Boss
|
||
Wriggle
|
||
|
||
When half-youkai like Wriggle gain a reasonable amount of power, it is only
|
||
natural for them to become a bit overconfident. Fortunately, that alone
|
||
wasn’t enough for her to become the final boss.
|
||
|
||
The story doesn’t take place underground after all.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
○ Stage 4 Boss
|
||
Kurumi
|
||
|
||
She is a friend of Elly’s… or at least her former kouhai. Some time ago,
|
||
Elly dragged her along when she left her mansion to set out on a longer
|
||
journey, and now they have returned. Still trying her best at keeping all
|
||
the curious youkai (and players) who are entering from the tunnel off
|
||
Elly’s back, she grew tired of being her bodyguard long ago.
|
||
|
||
Somehow they’ve really taken a liking to each other.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
○ Stage 5 Boss
|
||
Nagae Iku
|
||
|
||
She slipped through the guard right after the player. No one knows what
|
||
she is after, but there are two things she hates:
|
||
|
||
Being interrupted when she is in a hurry and always being suspected for
|
||
everything.
|
||
|
||
Both happening at the same time has made her lose her temper.
|
||
But that makes her seem even more suspicious, doesn't it?
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
○ Stage 6 Boss
|
||
Elly
|
||
|
||
She quit her task of guarding that mation in Lotus Land Story and obtained
|
||
a new power from the outside world: the power to manipulate relations
|
||
(i.e. she can do fancy maths). This enabled her to trick Gensokyo’s border*
|
||
and create herself a new place for research using her new powers.
|
||
|
||
On that high tower, she wants to research The Theory of Everything.
|
||
|
||
Maybe she didn’t even plan to use it to anyone’s harm. She certainly didn’t
|
||
expect the location she chose for her tower to cause that much trouble.
|
||
But that’s what scientists are like. Research comes first.
|
||
|
||
Her spellcards are based on physical phenomena, turning her experiments
|
||
into powerful weapons.
|
||
|
||
Fun Fact™: Taisei actually uses complex math for projectile positioning.
|
||
|
||
|
||
* It’s not like the border is an absolute barrier for youkai. It is not
|
||
uncommon for powerful youkai to pass through there without much trouble.
|
||
Some even visit the outside world regularly to hunt humans for food.
|
||
But Elly broke it at some place and made it lead to her own place
|
||
*somewhere inbetween*, which is unusual and shouldn’t be easily possible.
