Mentioned Characters: Reimu, Marisa, Nitori, Suika, Aunn, Miyoi

This Suika Ibuki hails from the world with too many Night Parades. She possesses the ability to manipulate density. It's said that when she senses a winter party in Gensokyo, she shows up with a sack of presents―whether she was invited or not! Her audacity is hardly a surprise given that she's an oni.

As the new year approached, a solemn wind breezed through Gensokyo. Suika Ibuki had arrived from the world with too many Night Parades and was on the hunt for a party. "I know just where to look." Murmuring to herself, Suika headed straight for Hakurei Shrine. In her world, parties were held there twice a week. But as she entered the shrine grounds with a shiver, all she found was snow. Not a person in sight. "Wahey? It's the end of the year, but there's no party." Just as Suika muttered her disappointment, she saw something moving out of the corner of her eye.

"Woof, woof! I won't let a little snow stop me from running Miss Reimu's errand!" "Hm? That's..." Suika transformed into mist and reappeared right in front of Aunn Komano, who was trotting through the snow. "Wahey! Where are you rushing off to?" "M-Miss Suika?! Um, Miss Reimu asked me to pick up a few things. I'm on my way out shopping." (Shopping, huh? I smell a party!) "All right, I'll help you. What's on the list?" "Oh, uhh... Actually―"

A Solemn New Year "So yeah, we're looking for something easy to snack on. Can you help us?" It was late into the night at Geidontei. Suika had dragged Aunn along and was now "asking" Miyoi Okunoda for help. Standing behind the counter, Miyoi furrowed her brow. "I can whip up some bar snacks, sure, but preparing a takeout set big enough for a party... That's gonna be tricky." "Wahey, c'mon! The me from this world's a regular here, right? Just think of it as doing a favor for your Suika's reputation!" "Even so..." "Having takeout trouble?" The door swung open, and Nitori's words cut through the air. Her large bag was stuffed with countless smaller ones.

"Aunn sure is taking her time." "You think? She only just left." In Hakurei Shrine's tatami room, Reimu and Marisa prepared for their New Year's feast while waiting for Aunn to return. "No way. It's been ages. If she isn't back soon―" Right on cue, thunderous footsteps echoed through the shrine. Marisa was about to make a joke about ironic timing when the door burst open. "Meeeerry Christmas!" Suika, inexplicably dressed as Santa, chased Aunn inside, who was whimpering like a puppy. Slung over Suika's shoulder was a sack full of snacks. A snack sack, if you will. "Wh-What are you doing here, Suika?!" cried Reimu. "Christmas is over!" "Nuh-uh. When I last checked, Christmas had only just begun!" Reimu's fury did little to dampen Suika's joy. The end of the year was close, but there was still plenty of fun to be had.
