“What? It was only a sneeze.”

For years, Marisa Kirisame was Gensōkyō’s most notable ‘ordinary’ human magician, living within the Forest of Magic. With her constant, almost persistent involvement in countless incidents across Gensōkyō, she cemented herself as one of the greatest incident resolvers. A novel title she almost coined herself.

With her friendly rivalry with Reimu silently blossoming into something deeper, and her collection of ‘borrowed’ material growing ever more impressive, Marisa felt as if though her life had finally reached a high. A peak.

But Marisa was a daring girl. Blindly dancing and dashing along the precipice of humanity without much thought. As her exploits with magic continued, she began unconsciously astral-projecting. Began seeing things humans shouldn’t be able to see. Had this gone unchecked, Marisa would have continued wandering as a dream soul, with her physical body slowly vanishing... Or becoming possessed, and turning into a yōkai.

How fortune it is, then, that this fate was averted.

...Right?

Hey, I told you his room had some stuff! Look, he even left behind all of his unfinished projects!
...Don’t touch those.
Why not? It’s not like he’s coming back any time soon!
To utter such vitriol in his quarters... Have you no shame, Nicolina?
Wha— Why did you even come if you’re just going to chastise me for lashing out at Father? The deadbeat left us in charge of this whole thing, and left us to suffer!
... Stop. Bickering won’t do us any good. Curiambro, turn it on.
Ah. This...?

Ooh, it works. Even after all this time...
Even better! Hey, I got an idea. We can use some of his old, unfinished work, and do it ourselves!
...What.
Yeah, yeah! And we’ll do it our way, too! Show Father we’re better than him at his own game. That’ll really spite him when he comes back. Here, look at this one, it’s almost complete! Just needs an image and intro.
But, Nicolina, you can hardly write, who will finish the written port—... Oh, no, you wouldn’t...
Whatever. Do what you want. I got what we came here for.
Hah! Alright, celebrity status, here we come! Let me scroll my Twitter for a bit for some fresh material, and we’ll be done in no time. Ain’t that right, Priest~?
