Prologue

In a far eastern land, there was a generally quiet shrine in the mountains. The Hakurei Shrine's shrine maiden, Reimu Hakurei was also generally bored.

Reimu: "Ah, man, I wonder if there's any work (something fun) around."

And so, because of her careless words, a large amount of ghosts and such suddenly came barging into the shrine. You reap what you sow.

Reimu: "Eeek! What the heck is this!?"

Reimu quickly got down to business and began her evil spirit extermination.

Reimu: "Hmm... At this rate, the shrine will be ruined *again*. Looks like there's no other choice. I'll find the source of this and crush it!"

Somehow, (and you musn't make fun of the shrine maiden's "somehow" method) Reimu felt that the lake in the mountains behind the shrine was suspicious, and so she promptly headed towards the mountains. (Though I get the feeling that in times like this, it's precisely because she left the shrine empty that it gets ruined...)

Reimu: "This place is definitely suspicious. There are tons of evil spirits here."

Reimu: "I'm getting excited. I finally have some work (evil spirit extermination) again!!

-- Meanwhile.

Marisa: "Hmm... What the heck is this magic power?"

The possessor of a large capacity of fierce magic power, Marisa Kirisame, was suddenly tempted by a vast magical force. Marisa, intent on making this power her own, headed towards the source.

Marisa: "This is lovely! Where's this crazy amount of magic power coming from?"

Marisa made her way towards the lake without Reimu knowing. Well, that's what she had intended...

And so, the two went to the lake for separate reasons... hmmm.

Character Backgrounds

Shrine Maiden who Protects Dream and Tradition - Reimu Hakurei

A shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine, who has the natural-born spiritual power and lacks training. She exterminates youkai by attacking with amulets, firing her spiritual power called Spiritual Attack and releasing the power of Yin-Yang Orb.

She's an optimist. She faces some strange incidents, but still she enjoys them. As usual, she (somehow) fights riding on the turtle.

This time, she feels somewhat suspicious, yet she's excited about the incident.

A Being made of Magic and Red Dream - Marisa Kirisame

She's an ordinary girl, even though she's a magician. Her personality is somewhat self-confident, but she has enough power to support her confidence too.

She's very intelligent, and is looking for power, but is still a child. What she does in her daily life is unknown.

She looks even younger than Reimu, but their ages are very close.

I think they both are a bit off from average...
