After weeks of peace, Gensokyo was turning back into a thriving civilisation, without of help of the Outside World to make things worse.

Sanae Kochiya was standing on a flat area of a mountain, looking out at the place. Yukari approached her.

"How are you enjoying Gensokyo?"

"Very much. This land is beautiful. Especially the flowers."

"Well, you do your best to get along."

They both looked out and admired the flowers, which were blooming.

"You know, the spirits of the deceased in the Outside World can possess these flowers, which causes them to bloom as they are." Yukari said.

"There's that many?"

"Yes, there was a great calamity, and a war broke out between them. Their ways are less civilised than us."

They looked out again.

"Do you ever think of going back to the outside world again?"

"No. I am a resident of Gensokyo now."

"Very well."

Back at the mansion, everyone was outside at dark, enjoying the flowers. Sakuya was preparing tea for Remilia and Patchouli. Flandre and Meiling were running around the garden.

Aya was secretly watching them, trying to get an incident to write about.

"The gatekeeper slacked off again?"

"Let her have her fun. Let Flan have fun as well."

Flandre and Meiling continued running around playfully.

Aya was still watching them.

"Ha! Another Scarlet Mist Incident! That'll be sure to..."

Time froze. It then unfroze with several dozen silver daggers around her.

She screamed.

"What was that?" Remilia asked.

"I believe it was an insect." Sakuya replied.

"Is that so..."
