After leaving the underworld, the group traced back the route and arrived a house. Like the scarlet devil mansion, it was built in Victorian style. Unlike the mansion, it was more like a bungalow. There was also a table set neatly at the frontyard

A girl, wearing a blue dress with a red ribbon band in her hair, was preparing herself a cup of tea

Too bad her tea break was interrupted as she saw a group approaching her house. She stopped and decided to greet these......familiar faces.

???: well, if it isn't Marisa. I don't remember held a tea party today"
Marisa: "hey Alice, we just here for incident resolving purpose"
Alice: "Erm.....what do you mean?"
Marisa: "oh c'mon, those 'visitors'! Do you remember?"
Alice: "Oh, sorry. So that's how you call those figures?"
Reimu: "nope, they helped us with the name."
Alice: "So the shrine maiden and the Scarlet devil came along. And as well as the servant of Hakugyokurou."
Youmu: "Both Sakuya's and my mistress had discovered those unknown entities and retrieved them so I think it is best to come along."

The girl named Alice nodded, and sank into thoughts. As usual, her focus is on the 5 guest she hadn't seen before. She knew they don't belong here, and yet how they got along with the people of Gensokyo is the question.

Alice: "Those 5 interesting guest, I reckon they don't belong here right?"
Reimu: "we saw them defeat those creatures so we brought them with us. Besides, they knew them better than us."
Erika: "Are those miniatures floating around.....dolls?"
Alice: "hmm? *looked at the mini dolls and back to Erika* they are, indeed. And you seem interested, isn't it?"
Erika: "*pointed at Akito* no, he is. He've been staring at those like he's daydreaming."

Again, their eyes, except Alice's, glared at Akito.

Akito: "Why do you all make me like a criminal or sort..."
Alice: "Fufu, you five seems like an interesting bunch. By the way, may I have your names please?"
Akito: "I'm Akito Izuki, pleased to meet you."
KK: "I've lost my name long ago but call me KK. These 3 are my Allies: Ed, Erika and Rinko."
Alice: "How nice to see such polite and disciplined young ladies and gentlemen like you are. I'm Alice Margatroid, and I'm a magician just like marisa"
Ed: "so your specialised in?"
Alice: "dolls, just as you seen them."
