...Even through we beat that person, the winter didn't stop.
Indeed. She did say that she was only strengthened by winter after all.
Well that goes without saying. The two of us are gods, but that doesn't mean we can call forth autumn.
But we can hold onto it at least. Just look at my sweet potatoes!
Oh, looks like you two are back to normal.
That last danmaku battle let us vent. I think now we can finally face the cold truth of winter.
I suppose this is shock treatment.
Eh, if it made them feel better then it's fine.
...
Is something wrong, Cirno?
Weeell, that last enemy also had the power to make things cold, so I was thinking I should have made her my underling.
I don't think I'd be able to stand the cold if that ever happened. Actually, now that I think about it, beating that girl didn't make the temperature go up at all.
Isn't that because Cirno is still here?
Grrr... Everyone's been so mean lately, even though I made you ice last summer.
Well, seasonal electrical appliances aren't very useful offseason.
Anyways, in the end that person was a bust. Pretty strange.
We're still just starting out after all. Let's pull ourselves together an-
Wait.
!?
Sh-she's heeeere! Winter is here!
Could you not make so much of a fuss? It gets tedious after a while.
...Don't tell me you were following us.
If you want another round, I'm game.
No, I'm not in the mood for that.
Then why would you go out of your way to follow us?
I would like to go with you to investigate this incident.
Huh!? That came out of nowhere.
Your group is trying to put an end to this winter, right? I'll lend a hand.
Hold on a second here, aren't you a winter youkai? And you're talking about voluntarily ending winter?
Winter is enjoyable, but even it can wear out its welcome. I'd rather spring come at this point.
You think we'll believe that from a youkai whose whole thing is spreading cold around?
I'm also interested in who the mastermind behind this incident is. Is that a good enough reason?
What a cool person...
I think that if you're offering us your strength, we have no reason to reject you. So how about it, Reimu?
I don't really care, so just do whatever you want.
I was thinking we didn't have enough people for an incident like this anyways. So, as a winter youkai, do you have any hunches on who the mastermind might be?
Not at all. If I did, I wouldn't have even come here.
Yeah, that figures. We're never that lucky.
Still, I do know one thing. This winter has been distorted.
...If that's the case, then this is definitely too dangerous a matter to leave alone.
This unending winter has been sapping my energy. It's not as blatant as that scarlet mist, but it just keeps creeping and creeping up on you in a way that's quite unsettling.
Yup. That's why we gotta resolve this incident as fast as we can.
Before Gensokyo is buried in a deadly snow.
