Story

Every day in Gensokyo was more noisy than expected.

Any mysterious visitor would be confused with a ghost of summertime.

All of that equates to just a normal summer.

The outskirts were enveloped in scarlet illusion.

The sharp-witted girl, relying on her senses, set off in the direction of the lake.

The girl set off as if there might just be something valuable to find.

Or, rather, she actually went looking for it.

The lake was entirely covered by the mysterious mist.

This mysterious energy was so strong that a normal human would only survive for about 30 minutes, but less ordinary humans too would have about thirty minutes.

The center of the mist barely receives any light during the day, and filters out moonlight as well.

From within the mist, a full moon looks hazy and several times larger.

If we suppose the mist is the work of a human, one could say that the human must have eaten belladonna flower.

In the very center of it all is an island, rejected by mankind simply because they could not live there. On that island is a mansion; one of few windows.

Inside the mansion that knows neither day nor night, "she" was there.
