Plot
Plot
A series of false rumours spread around the Human Village, rumours of odd creatures and strange events. Unlike the Youkai, however, the nature of these rumours is foreign and unsettling, scaring the human children (although most of adults regard it is as simple child's play). But when Reimu, the Shrine Maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, started to notice the rumors, she concluded that it must be the work of a higher power. With that, she and the others decided to investigate this new incident and find the culprit behind the rumors.
