Princess Joon the Chivalrous Phantom Thief

Index
Bye-Bye Liberty - Gensokyo!
Yukari
Ah... another day with such nice weather.
Yukari
I'd love to spend such a beautiful day in peace, out on the engawa, but...
Hecatia
Hey! C'mon! Stop wasting time! Show me that thing!
Yukari
...it seems I can't even enjoy a cup of tea in peace.
Hecatia
Sorry to bother you by just showing up here, but I wanna see it with my own eyes.
Yukari
It's OK. I knew this would happen when I sent you the message about it.
Yukari
But... I didn't think you would show up only ten seconds after receiving it...
Hecatia
Quick! Calm! Clever! That's my motto!
Yukari
Do "calm" and "clever" fall under the domain of your other two bodies? Anyway, let's get to the point.
Yukari
This is the tiny swap boxーa Simulation Shikigami I once put together to simulate the optimal way to manage Gensokyo...
Yukari
...in a unique environment. And this is the main part required to operate the tiny swap box.
Yukari
And this is the new part I've prepared...
Yukari
It's an expansion for the main part that I've created using your idea. I call it the Can-Do System.
Hecatia
There it is! This is it, isn't it?!
Yukari
It's a masterpiece created using the kappa's scientific expertise, Mister Rinnosuke's knowledge, and my skills.
Yukari
Attaching this to the main part makes it possible to freely modify the virtual world inside the tiny swap box.
Yukari
You remember how you caused a huge commotion by interfering with the world I created?
Yukari
This Can-Do System is an exceptional item that makes it easier and grants more freedom for anyone to do that.
Hecatia
B-Brilliant! Can I like use it right now?!
Yukari
You can turn it on. But I only just finished making it, so we still need to test if it works.
Hecatia
I'll do it! I'll test it!
Hecatia
I just gotta attach the Can-Do System to the main part and then put the tiny swap box in, yeah?
Yukari
That should do it. But are you sure? I think we should proceed with caution...
Hecatia
Switch on! Blip blip beep beep!
Yukari
She's not even listening...
Yukari
Well, I was going to conduct a test anyway, so I suppose this should be fine.
Yukari
At first, I was reluctant to modify my creation, but in the end, my curiosity got the better of me...
Hecatia
This will be like part two of the game I created with too much free time on my hands and part two of your experiment...
Hecatia
...to simulate the optimal way to manage Gensokyo. Everyone wins! It's two birds with one stone!
Yukari
Since I'm collecting data, it makes more sense to collect it from a number of creators rather than just myself.
Hecatia
OK then, without any further ado...! It's time to create a fun Gensokyo!
Yukari
Oh, have you already decided what kind of Gensokyo you want to create?
Hecatia
Of course! I've been waiting for this moment! Ideas just kept popping up in my head.
Yukari
Oh, really? What kind of ideas?
Hecatia
That's a secretーor so I'd like to say. But since you've helped me so much, I'll tell you the title! But nothing more.
Yukari
Just the title? I didn't expect you to be such a cheapskate.
Hecatia
Keeping the audience intrigued until the very end... isn't that what sells?
Hecatia
I'm making an exception by telling you the title, 'kay? So you better remember it. The title for this Gensokyo is...
Hecatia
The Chivalrous Phantom Thief Princess!
From Gensokyo with Love
Reimu
Mmmmm! Another day with such nice weather.
Reimu
I'd love to quickly clean the grounds and then spend such a beautiful day in peace, out on the engawa.
Aunn
Taking a nap while basking in the sun also sounds good.
Aunn
Oh, no! But I can't be taking naps! Who knows when an intruder might appear!
Reimu
No intruders are going to show up here... There probably won't be any worshipers either...
*yawn*... Good morning, Reimu, Aunn.
Aunn
Good morning!
Reimu
Good morning. You still look sleepy.
Yes, I was feeling a bit apprehensive last night...
Reimu
And so you didn't get much sleep, huh? Your intuition is usually pretty good, so I'm a bit worried now.
Aunn
Don't tell me an intruder is really going to show up?!
Reimu
Nah, that's obviously not―
Hecatia
Biiiiiiingooo!
Reimu & Aunn
What?!
Hecatia
Sorry to intrude out of the blue, but I've got something interesting to tell you...
Reimu
If you're here for a fight, then I don't need to hold back! I'll take you out before you get a chance to defend yourself!
Aunn
Grrrrrrrr!
Hecatia
Huh?! Wait! Stop! Stop! I haven't come with any evil intentions today!
Reimu
You're just saying that. I'm sure you're plotting something again.
Hecatia
Mean...! You're so mean! How can you not even listen to what I have to say...? *peek*
Reimu
Yeah, yeah. If you're looking for the offering box, it's that way.
Hecatia
I didn't come here to look at an empty offering box. That's not my target.
Reimu
Target...?
Hecatia
She is the reason why I'm here!
Reimu
You're here for PLAYER?
Hecatia
Yeah, I wanted to ask her to help me... by being the first test subject in the virtual Gensokyo I created.
Aunn
A virtual... Gensokyo?
Reimu
That thing Yukari created a while back? Has she handed it over to you now?
Hecatia
Hm, you could say that. That's pretty much what happened. Also, I have a valid reason for choosing PLAYER.
Hecatia
She has seen all sorts of commotion and festivities in her time here, which has given her ample exposure and experience.
Hecatia
I'm sure she'll give valuable assessments from a third-person perspective. She seems to excel at doing that.
Reimu
I get what you're saying, but I'm against it.
Hecatia
Huh?! Why?! What is it that you don't like about this?
Reimu
It sounds dangerous. There's no way I'd send PLAYER to help with something like that.
Aunn
Once a bad guy, always a bad guy...
Hecatia
Naive! You guys are so naive!
Aunn
Eep?!
Hecatia
If this project is successful, it will be the greatest innovation Gensokyo has ever seen!
Hecatia
Besides, one should be prepared to take some risks in order to take the initiative in creating a virtual Gensokyo!
Reimu
Innovation?
Aunn
Initiative?
Hecatia
A predicament is an opportunity in disguise! Girls, be ambitious! Where there's a will, there's a way!
Reimu
My head hurts for some reason...
Hecatia
Now's my chance! I'll be borrowing her!
Huuuuh?!
Reimu
Huh...? Hey! Wait!
Hecatia
All right! Now let me take my first subject to the Gensokyo I createdーThe Chivalrous Phantom Thief Princess!
Is this... the Human Village?
Hecatia
You're half correct! But half wrong.
Hecatia
A new outfit to match the new mood! I've transformed into the goddess who'll guide you through this virtual world!
Those clothes are really cute.
Is this the virtual world? It looks just like the real world...
Hecatia
I know, right?! I'm very proud of it!
Hecatia
This is a virtual world based on the real Gensokyo that I modified by making changes to the history and setting.
Hecatia
The inhabitants of this world are virtual copies with the same personalities but with slightly altered backgrounds.
I think I kind of get it.
Oh. I don't get it at all.
Hecatia
It's kinda similar to a parallel world. Well, you'll understand soon enough. Also, I have something important to tell you.
Hecatia
You can't let the inhabitants of this world know that this is a virtual world. And we must also act like we are from here.
Hecatia
If they find out who we are, it might cause a lot of confusion. In the worst case, it might even cause an unexpected bug.
Hecatia
But don't worry. If there's any danger, I'll rescue you immediately and take you back to the real world.
Hecatia
Even if I'm not there myself, I'll always be observing. So chill 'cause you're in safe hands!
So I suppose I can relax for now?
Wow, it's really reassuring to have you on my side!
Hecatia
Good! It's always nice to be positive! It's making me happy too.
Hecatia
Oh, and the people of this world don't know who you are. Just don't forget about that, 'kay?
G-Got it!
Hecatia
It's finally time for the testーthe beginning of a tale! A world coming to life from scratch... Enjoy it to the max!
Hecatia
Oops! I first need to introduce you to some people. I'll take you to them―
???
HEY! You shady people! Hold it right there!
Cirno
As long as I still draw death, I'll sniff out every shady person out there!
Daiyousei
Um, Cirno... It's breath, not death.
Hecatia
Uh oh, they've found us.
Cirno
I'm the Chief of the Justice Police Force that protects Gensokyo! Cirno, the STRONGEST police officer!
Daiyousei
And I'm the Assistant Chief! Teehee!
Cirno
You there! Who are you? I haven't seen you around here! You're very shady!
Daiyousei
Is a new person shady by default?
Cirno
Hmph. The strongest police officer can spot a criminal just by looking. I'm a pro at suspense and thriller things.
Daiyousei
Wow, Cirno! You're so cool!
Hecatia
Um, Police Officer... we're in a hurry here.
Cirno
HAH! I'm not gonna fall for that trick! Trying to run just proves that you've got something to hide!
Cirno
Quietly agree to my investigation battle!
Hecatia
Guess we gotta do this. 'Kay, we'll go along with your battle.
Daiyousei & Cirno
Nooooo! They got us!
Hecatia
Well, that's that. Now let's get a move on. The story hasn't even begun yet!
First Contact
Hecatia
We're here! It's kinda cramped, but woot, we're in!
Joon
Geez, sorry for not having a bigger place. But this is still our special hideout, you know?
Yachie
She's right that there's not much room, though. It's a real struggle to fit my tail in here.
Yamame
It really is cramped with everyone here. Even the depths of the Underworld might be more comfortable than this.
Shion
Home is where you make it. I'm fine with any place. As long as it keeps the rain out, it's good enough.
Joon
I don't care if it's true! I don't want anyone badmouthing our hideout! And first of all―huh?! She vanished?!
Hecatia
You all are still as inattentive as usual. You should learn from PLAYER.
Miss Hecatia is in a strange box!
Sorry... I didn't notice either...
Joon
That's because our boss is the elusive kind. She usually gives us instructions through this strange box.
Joon
But wait... who are you?
Hecatia
Now, now. I'll explain everything. But first, let me explain the situation to PLAYER.
Hecatia
There's a fierce competition in this Gensokyo between phantom thieves vying to be the best and the strongest!
Hecatia
The ones present here are members of a phantom thief gang operating in Gensokyo called the Joon Phantom Thieves.
Joon
She's our boss, and this room is our base―wait, why are you telling an outsider?! And why am I doing the same?!
Hecatia
You don't need to worry about that! I'm getting PLAYER to join you all!
What?! This is the first I'm hearing of this!
Hecatia
Yeah, I just told you. You'll be the tactical assistant to this task force. I want you to work with them for a while.
Yachie
You're assigning the post of tactical assistant to a rookie? Are you sure this is going to work?
Yamame
I don't know... I can't help but feel kind of worried about this decision, even if it's an order from the boss.
Joon
Are we really going to be OK with this kid as the tactical assistant?
Hecatia
I totally get why you guys are worried. That's why I've come prepared... Whoop!
Yamame
She got out of the box?!
Yachie
Whoa, I didn't know she could do that...!
Hecatia
A phantom thief shouldn't be surprised by such things. Anyway, back to proving the rookie's abilities...
Hecatia
I have arranged for the perfect opponents... inside this closet.
Joon
Argh! Why are phantoms coming out of the closet?!
Yachie
And in such large numbers...!
Hecatia
I caught some prankster phantoms from the Human Village. Go on... work with PLAYER to punish them!
Yamame
Well, in that case, we'll leave the strategy and instructions to you, Newbie!
Shion
Let's do this, everyone!
Joon
Aaaand it's done!
Yamame
Our teamwork was so much more on point this time!
Yachie
Yes, her instructions were spot on. Thanks to that, I could perform better than I usually do.
Shion
Wow! Amazing!
Hecatia
Everyone seems to be satisfied with PLAYER's abilities. So now you should have no problem welcoming her.
Joon
Sorry for being stand-offish earlier. Let's work as a team from here on out.
Yachie
Those were some impressive tactics. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Yamame
With a rookie this awesome, I need to step up my game!
I-I look forward to working with you too...
They've already decided that I'll be working with them...
Burn, Phantom Thieves!
Hecatia
Now that we've agreed that PLAYER will be joining us let's introduce ourselves and explain our activities.
Yachie
Yes, she's a part of the team now. We should share what information we have.
Yamame
You can't trust people you don't know. So introductions sound good.
Hecatia
OK, let's start... is what I'd like to say, but before that... we gotta show her "that," yeah?
Joon
Ah! Yes! It won't feel right without "that"!
Yachie
We're phantom thieves. Let's show her what that looks like.
Shion
No looking away! Focus, OK?
Joon
OK then, everyone! Let's go!
Yachie & Yamame
Yeah!
Joon
Virtual change! Princess Thief!
Wh-What?! Mysterious light has engulfed everyone!
Joon
I'm the red flash in the night! The elusive egoist! The most disastrous phantom thief―Princess Joon!
Yachie
From the depths of Hell, I come to vanquish evil! Kiketsu Family, Yachie Kicchou―Armed and ready!
Yamame
No mercy! I'm the Hell spider guardian of Gensokyo's love! The Envoy From the Underworld, Yamame Kurodani!
Phantom Thieves
Together we are―
Joon
Aaaaaaaah?!
Yachie
Whooooooa?!
Yamame
Eeeeeeeeeeh?!
Hecatia
Really? Is that what being a phantom thief looks like? You guys have successfully made a total fool of yourselves.
Shion
It's impossible for all three of you to effectively perform a signature pose in such a confined area...
Joon
Gah, that pose failed so bad... All because the two of you bumped into me!
Yamame
It's not my fault! It's all because Yachie's tail hit me!
Yachie
Look who's talking! It was your arms that hit my shoulder, causing me to lose balance...
Hecatia
OK, OK, no fighting. Teamwork is of utmost importance for a phantom thief gang.
Shion
The first half was great. You can practice the signature pose next time.
Why is Shion the only one not a part of this?
Joon
Shion's role is different from our task force. She's a support member. She helps the team with things behind the scenes.
Joon
She's never on the field with us, but she's very crucial to the gang, as well as to me.
Shion
Joon... Thank you.
Yamame
It's so heartwarming to see sisters get along. And she's right... we also rely on Shion.
Yachie
Yes, everyone needs to work together to complete missions. We can learn a lot from Shion and Joon's relationship.
Joon
E-Enough about that! Now I'll tell you about our Joon Phantom Thief Gang!
Joon
Ahem...
Joon
What's our biggest goal?!
Joon Phantom Thieves
To be the best phantom thieves in all of Gensokyo!
Joon
What do we believe in?!
Joon Phantom Thieves
Don't oppress the poor! Don't rob the poor! Help the poor!
Such cool phantom thieves!
This cancels out the fail from earlier.
Yamame
Th-This is kind of embarrassing... But we're not fully qualified to be phantom thieves.
Yachie
We still haven't managed to clear even a single mission given to us by the boss...
Joon
And that's why we've been living like this. And by that, I mean... Shion... bring that out.
Shion
Yes. Here... have some tea, Newbie.
Why does this tea not have any flavor?!
Um... this is just hot water!
Yamame
I don't even remember how many times we've reused the same tea leaves.
Yachie
You can't really call it tea at this point. It's practically just hot water.
Joon
That's why we're going to complete a bunch of missions! To say goodbye to this destitute lifestyle!
Joon
Lately, it feels like my sister is gradually withering away! I need to feed her food that is actually nourishing!
Shion
I'm famished! I'm getting tired of eating grass...
Hecatia
Precisely because you are in such a predicament, the addition of a new member should make a huge difference.
Hecatia
And so I've prepared a special mission just for you guys! Complete this, and you'll get rid of this poverty for sure!
Joon Phantom Thieves
Whoa!
Hecatia
Now, let me tell you about this mission! It's a super-duper difficult mission! Every single one of you must work together.
Hecatia
Bring me the famous painting, The Scarlet Moon Banquet, from the corrupt blood-sucking nobles!
Memories of the Start
Yamame
It's finally time to start the mission. Aah, I'm getting nervous...!
Joon
Tonight is the night when we will finally complete a mission! We need to show Boss what we're capable of!
Yachie
This time we have a new and reassuring team member with us. I'm sure it'll go well.
Joon
But, the security is still tight, so we need to wait until it eases up. Do you have any questions in the meanwhile?
I want to know more about you all.
Why did you decide to become phantom thieves?
Yachie
Yes, we are going to be working together, so you should know why and how we decided to become phantom thieves.
Yamame
OK, then I'll go first. I originally used to live in the depths of the Underworld.
Yamame
I've wanted to know what it's like on the surface for ages. I always wanted to visit someday.
Yamame
And then suddenly, one day, Boss came to the Underworld. She asked me if I wanted to be a hero with a super cool outfit.
Yamame
She said that she needed my help. And that's how I became a phantom thief.
Joon
Yamame can freely manipulate and move around with the webs she creates. She's the head of construction in our gang.
Yachie
Her stellar support is of great help not only while stealing but also during battles.
Yachie
OK, I'll go next. I used to be the head of a self-governing organization in the Animal Realm.
Yachie
The organization gradually lost all its funds trying to fiercely resist a hostile self-proclaimed vigilante group.
Yachie
That's when that goddess reached out to me. I decided to help the phantom thief gang to solve our financial problems.
Yamame
Yachie is smart, so she's the brains of our gang. She uses her otter spirits to make all sorts of plans.
Joon
She sometimes stops at nothing to achieve her goals... But that is also part of what makes her a very reliable member!
Yachie
I'm not used to hearing so much praise. But I plan on doing everything I can for our gang.
Yamame
She shoots out smoke screens and destroys walls with that weapon of hers. Yachie's tactics are extensive and cool!
Joon
Well, if Yachie's introduction is done, it's my turn at last! That's right! I'm the leader of this phantom thief gang!
Joon
I've lived with my sister my whole life. We've always been financially poor... and we were reaching our limit.
Joon
That's when we got scouted and formed the Joon Phantom Thief Gang. Our financial problems haven't changed though...
Joon
Boss was fine with any kind of team, but I came up with something like a policy for the gang.
Joon
And that was, "Don't oppress the poor. Don't rob the poor. Help the poor."
Joon
That's why we limit who we target. We never steal from anyone who isn't evil, wealthy, or powerful.
Yachie
We are all blessed with power. And with great power comes great responsibility.
Yamame
We'll hold to that, even if it means going against Boss's orders. We will never steal from the poor.
Joon
That's how the assembled members got a chance. That's why we need to aim to be the best phantom thieves in Gensokyo!
Joon
We all have our different reasons and motives for being here, but each one of us is serious about being a phantom thief.
I don't have much to offer, but I'll do my best!
I think you guys make a wonderful team!
Yachie
Thank you.
Yamame
All right, time to get moving. The security also seems to be getting lax.
Joon
Looks like there's only one gatekeeper.
Meiling
*yawn* It's such a beautiful moonlit night.
Yachie
The target seems to have their guard down. This is our chance to attack.
Joon
All right! Commence mission! Joon Phantom Thieves! Attack!
Joon Phantom Thieves
Yeah!
Meiling
Huh?! Wh-What's going on?!
Meiling
Aaaaaah! I've been wrapped up in something and can't move anymore...! Is this... spider silk?!
Yamame
Ahahaha... sorry. It should come off on its own after a while.
Yachie
Let's sneak into the mansion before anyone notices.
Joon
All right. Now the real test begins!
Fairy Tactics
Yachie
We managed to sneak into the mansion, but this is where it gets tricky.
Yamame
The painting is in the innermost treasure room on the top floor. It shows a noble banquet with a scarlet moon backdrop.
Joon
The Scarlet Moon Banquet is apparently a masterpiece painted by a famous vampire long ago... Our mission is to steal it.
Yachie
According to the data, a magician has set traps inside the mansion to combat phantom―Watch out!
Joon
I-Icicles are falling from the ceiling?!
Yamame
Phew... is everyone OK? I somehow managed to handle it with my arms and strings. I'm good at detecting objects in motion.
Yamame
Proceeding recklessly is dangerous. We must proceed with caution like a spider aware of its surroundingsーWhoa?!
Yachie
Are those... countless rotating blades...? That's dangerous. At first glance, it looks like they're moving randomly, but...
Yachie
...if you look closely, there's a pattern. The blades seem to be linked. So if we break just one...!
Joon
Amazing! They all stopped!
Yamame
Good job, Yachie! Now we can proceed further!
Joon
Great! Let's keep pushing forward! I won't fall for any traps so easily... GAH!
Joon
Ouch! What's wrong with this mansion?!
Yachie
Flames are coming out of the floor... It's bold to use traps that could start a fire. But they might work in the Animal Realm.
Yamame
This is not the time to be taking things lightly! Say what you want, but they've gone too far with this!
Joon
I was afraid my costume would get burnt. But I've figured out how this trap works.
Joon
The flames are triggered by floor switches. Yamame, can you attach your strings to the ceiling?
Yamame
Oh! I see what you mean! That's easy! I'll just attach the strings like this...
Joon
*pant* *pant*... I thought I was going to die.
Yachie
*huff* *huff* Why are all these traps so lethal?
Yamame
Aha... Ahahaha... I feel like I'm seeing the real Hell again.
Joon
But it was worth it. I can finally see what looks like the innermost room.
Yachie
Now we just need to cross this corridor. Don't let your guard down. There might be traps, so let's proceed with caution.
???
HA HA HA HA! Sorry, but we won't allow that!
Yamame
That voice?! Who's there?!
???
Who's there, you ask?! Then let me give you a straightforward answer!
???
We steal the treasures of the world! We snatch the treasures of the world!
???
With elegance and splendor, we steal! We're the cute and pretty phantom thieves!
Sunny Milk
Sunny Milk!
Star Sapphire
Star Sapphire!
Luna Child
Luna Child!
Phantom Thieves of Light
We're the Phantom Thieves of Light!
Joon
Th-Their intro was so cool!
Their pose was also perfect...! Impeccable...!
Your intro was as good as theirs, Joon!
Sunny Milk
Teehee. You're a bit late. We snuck into the Scarlet Devil Mansion before you guys.
Star Sapphire
We even brilliantly cleared all the traps making full use of our abilities and brains! And... stole the painting you were after!
Luna Child
All your efforts were in vain! It's a hands-down victory for the Phantom Thieves of Light!
Yamame
Running into our rivals while on the job... and to have the same target on top of that...!
Yachie
Luck is definitely not on our side...
Joon
Did we fail the mission again...?
Sunny Milk
So yeah, go home now. You won't gain anything from going any further―
Yamame
If it has been stolen, then we just need to steal it back!
Sunny Milk
Huh?
Joon
She's right! We're phantom thieves! We steal what we want!
Luna Child
W-Wait a second! You don't need to be so violent...!
Yachie
If you're phantom thieves, you should know that when you steal something, it can be stolen from you in turn.
Star Sapphire
Um...?
Joon Phantom Thieves
Hand over the painting!
Phantom Thieves of Light
Eeeep!
Phantom Thieves of Light
*sob*
Joon
The victory is ours! Now spill it! Where have you hidden the painting?!
Yachie
Wait a minute. I don't think they have it.
Yamame
Huh? Why do you say that?
Yachie
If they had the painting, they would have fled long ago. It looks like they were just stalling for some reason.
Phantom Thieves of Light
*gulp*
Sunny Milk
*sigh* All right... we lost so we'll tell you everything.
Luna Child
You were right. We haven't stolen the painting yet.
Star Sapphire
And it's because of that brutal trap.
Joon Phantom Thieves
There are more traps?!
Loot or Ceiling?
Joon
How many traps do you think we've suffered so far? What's one or two more?
Yamame
Yeah! We're not going to get cold feet now after all that.
Yamame
The painting is in the room at the end of this corridor, isn't it? I'll go get it right aw―Owowowow!
Joon
Yamame!
Yachie
Oh, no...! Be careful! It's not visible until you look closely. But there's a laser trap!
Yamame
Ow, ow, ow... that stung bad.
Sunny Milk
We told you there's a horrible trap ahead!
Star Sapphire
We tried to pass through it several times, but it was useless.
Luna Child
We even used our abilities to erase our presence and sound. It still didn't work. We don't know what else to do...
Yachie
There are so many laser beams here... Not only are they moving in all directions, but they're also random.
Joon
Can't we break it like we did with the rotating blades?
Yachie
It's not impossible, but the sources for each laser are cleverly hidden. It will probably take a lot of time to break the trap.
Yamame
The laser beams even extend to the ceiling, so I can't use my strings to get past it from above either.
Yachie
Maybe we should give up.
Joon
Huh?!
Yamame
What's this you're saying all of a sudden?!
Yachie
It's impossible to get past this trap head-on. So what's the point in staying here?
Joon
What?! Are you seriously going back?!
Yamame
Wait!
Sunny Milk
What's with them? They gave up already.
Star Sapphire
How pathetic. Then we'll steal the painting.
Luna Child
If we go at it a gazillion times, it has to work eventually!
Phantom Thieves of Light
Let's do this! Owowowowow!
Joon
Yachie, wait! Why are you giving up after coming this far?!
Yamame
I misjudged you! I thought you were better than this!
Yachie
These are the stairs to go down, right?
Joon
Where are you going?! That's not even the way to the exit!
Yamame
Why did you only go down one floor? What exactly are you planning...?
Yachie
It should be around here.
Joon
OK, that's enough! Explain yourself already! What are you trying to do?
Yachie
Sorry, I didn't want those fairies to hear, so I just brought you all here without saying anything.
Yachie
I figured out a way to get past that laser trap.
Yamame
Oh! Now it makes sense! But what do you plan on doing from here?
Yachie
Do you know where we are right now? We're just below the front of the door to the treasure room beyond the laser trap.
Yachie
That means... we just need to break through the ceiling...!
Joon
We can go to the upper floor from here and enter the room! If there's no path, make your own! Brilliant use of brains!
That's some clever play!
Or should I call it a power play...?
Yamame
So, it's my turn now! Everyone, hold on to me!
Yachie
We're in front of the treasure room just as planned.
Phantom Thieves of Light
*stunned*
Yamame
Ahahahaha! Those fairies are dumbfounded!
Joon
This is no time to be laughing. The security might have been alerted by all that noise we made to get here.
Yachie
Let's hurry and steal the painting we came for.
Joon
Time to find the paintーit's right there! Isn't that picture openly displayed right in the middle of the room our target?!
Yachie
It has the scarlet moon and the noble banquet. There's even something that looks like the artist's signature on the back.
Yamame
It's exactly as Boss described it! Woohoo! Now we can complete our mission!
Joon
We found what we were looking for, so let's head back. Now I can finally feed some delicious food to my sister―
???
That's as far as you go!
Joon Phantom Thieves
Huh?!
Sakuya
You thieves! We finally found you!
Koakuma
You not only dared to enter with the intention of stealing, but you also wrecked the mansion! Unforgivable!
Sakuya
Little devils! Get those scoundrels!
Joon
Grr... looks like we can't escape this fight!
Koakuma
Milady, for... give... me... *collapse*
Joon Phantom Thieves
We did it somehow...!
Sakuya
Heehee, not bad. But it's not over yet.
Free Battle: 1st Treasure
Sakuya
Come on, I'm your next opponent. You might have dodged the traps, but how about my knives?
Yamame
By the way, where did the Phantom Thieves of Light go? It doesn't look like they battled.
Joon
They can conceal themselves, so they must have sneakily run away...! Those good-for-nothing fairies!
Sakuya
What are you lot mumbling about? If you're begging for your lives, then you should speak up.
Sakuya
How did I lose?
Yachie
We came here for the painting. So stop resisting, and we'll leave quietly.
Sakuya
Oh? Are you sure you have the time to be smack talking? The advantage is still on our side.
Joon
Huh? What do you mean―?
???
Thou needest not hold them back any longer, Sakuya. We'll deal with them now. Go rest.
???
KYAHAHAHAHA! These thieves art dressed all comical!
Elusiveness of the Scarlet Mist
Flandre
Oh, my! Behold sister! The thieves art looking at us in utter confusion!
Remilia
They art in front of nobles like us after all. 'Tis no surprise that they're entranced and dumbfounded by our magnificence.
Yachie
It's the mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion... the vampire sisters...!
Yamame
The big shots are here at last!
But there's something strange about the way they speak!
(Is this what Miss Hecatia thinks corrupt nobles are like?)
Joon
I'll punish the evil aristocrats myself as we clear the mission!
Remilia
How insolent of thee to calleth us evil aristocrats. What art thee but petty thieves who have snuck into my mansion?
Flandre
Yes! How dareth lowly scoundrels spout such conceit!
Yamame
Sorry to disappoint, but we're not your everyday thieves.
Remilia
I understand you not. Then who might thee be? I order thee to introduceth thyself!
Joon
All right. We'll tell you. Open your ears wide and listen up!
Joon
I'm the red flash in the night! The elusive egoist! The most disastrous phantom thief―Princess Joon!
Yachie
From the depths of Hell, I come to vanquish evil! Kiketsu Family, Yachie Kicchou―Armed and ready!
Yamame
No mercy! I'm the Hell spider guardian of Gensokyo's love! The Envoy From the Underworld, Yamame Kurodani!
Joon Phantom Thieves
Don't oppress the poor! Don't rob the poor! Help the poor! Together we are―
Joon Phantom Thieves
The Joon Phantom Thieves!
Flandre
KYAHAHAHAHA! Amazing! Just amaaaaazing!
Remilia
But dost thou not realizeth thy break-in hast been in vain?
Remilia
I know not what thou art after, but tonight shall beest the endeth of thee.
Joon
We won't perish. Not until we punish evil-doers like yourself!
Yamame
You've done a lot of bad things to fill your own pockets, haven't you? We will never forgive people like you!
Remilia
'Tis obvious that plebeians ought to serveth the noble. Rather, they should be grateful for the opportunity to serveth us.
Flandre
We'll hire thee with two days off a week! Six hours of work a day! Free lodgings and three meals with a nap!
Remilia
Hehehe... I can give a raise only twice a year. 'Tis reasonable for plebeians.
Yachie
H-How despicable!
Huh? Is it really?
Joon
There's no way we'll lose to evil-doers like you!
Yamame
We'll punish you with a battle of bullets!
Remilia
As thee wish! I'll make thee regret the moment thee hath decided to challenge us!
Corrupt Blood-Sucking Nobles
We... lost...!
Joon
Yes! Now let's take the painting and dash!
Yachie
The mission only ends once we get back to the hideout. Don't let your guard down.
Yamame
Skedaddle!
Remilia
To think that we lost! 'Tis not possible! 'Tis impossible!
Flandre
But sister... wherefore didst those thieves stealeth such a thing?
Remilia
Like I'd know wherefore! I fail to comprehend the workings of a plebeian's mind!
Devil Painting's Nightmare Premonition
Hecatia
It's a shame, but this mission was a total fiasco. It's punishment time for you guys.
Joon Phantom Thieves
S-Say what?!
Yamame
Wh-What do you mean, Boss?! We stole the painting just like you asked us to!
Hecatia
Yeah, you did steal a painting... but this isn't the Scarlet Moon Banquet that I asked you to get.
Joon
H-How is that possible?! Look! There's clearly a scarlet moon in the painting!
Hecatia
That's not a moon. It's just a large circle-like thing. You can even see a white one right next to it.
Yachie
But look! They're clearly having a banquet...!
Hecatia
How does that look like a banquet? It just looks like people enjoying a picnic while sightseeing.
Yamame
But... but look! There's even an elaborate signature on the back!
Hecatia
Hm... It's difficult to read because of the scrawled handwriting, but... it says Remilia Scarlet here.
We should have checked for other similar paintings...
Well, it was too dark to see anything clearly...
Hecatia
As you can see, Remilia is the one who painted this. It's probably a painting of one of her memories.
Joon
B-But... we were sooooo close this time. Maybe not all, but you could give us some of the reward...
Hecatia
Like really? Nuh-uh, you get no reward. That's your punishment.
Joon
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Yamame
*sob*
Yachie
N-No way...!
Hecatia
It's a pain, but I'll return this painting later. There's no point keeping it here.
Joon
*sob* I thought we had finally cleared our first mission...!
Shion
Joon... I know it's frustrating, but it's OK. Let's work harder on the next mission.
Joon
I'm sorry, Shion. I thought we would get rewarded this time... but now you have to bear the hunger some more...
Shion
It's OK, don't worry about it. I'm fine!
Joon
But, Shion... haven't you lost more weight?
Shion
Have I? Not that I can tell...
Joon
Argh... this is bad! We need to clear a mission as soon as possible!
Yachie
Yes. Now let's use this frustration as a springboard for our next mission!
Yamame
We won't commit such a blunder ever again!
Hecatia
Good, good. That's the spirit! And that's exactly why it's worth looking forward to... Hehehe.
By the way, why were the vampires speaking weird?
Hecatia
Ah, yes. They were acting different from the ones you know, yeah? That's 'cause I've modified those two in this world.
Hecatia
It'd be boring to just keep changing roles as I did with the fairies. So if you notice such changes, don't mind it much.
Hecatia
But more importantly, Joon Phantom Thieves! I have your next mission!
Joon Phantom Thieves
A mission?!
Hecatia
Ah, but before that... I need to get back in the box.
Yamame
You're going to go in there again? Isn't it hot inside?
Hecatia
You could think of it as a new kind of Hell. It's that hot!
Yachie
Then can't you just not go in...?
Hecatia
I could, but for some reason, I feel like I gotta do this... And besides, it brings the mood up and keeps it exciting.
Hecatia
OK, so now for your next mission!
Joon Phantom Thieves
*gulp*...
Hecatia
For your next mission... I want you to bring me the Yorishiro of the War God from Moriya Shrine!
Plastic Model Collection
Marisa
"Phantom Thief Notice: Tomorrow morning, we will come to take the Yorishiro of the War God dedicated to Moriya Shrine."
Marisa
That's some over-the-top notice.
Alice
Why didn't you inform the police after receiving such a notice? It'd be wise to have professionals secure this place.
Sanae
We did. But apparently, phantom thieves have been causing trouble nonstop. I was told that they have their hands full...
Patchouli
Speaking of which, the Scarlet Devil Mansion also... Ah, but well, I suppose it's too late to be talking about that now.
Marisa
Those phantom thieves already stole Sanae's precious Yorishiro thing...
Sanae
*sob* They stole my precious treasure!
Alice
Don't worry, Sanae. We'll get your treasure back for you.
Patchouli
I sealed all the exits before the thieves could escape. It's only a matter of time before the criminals are caught.
Marisa
Exactly! Now leave the rest to usーThe Three Witch Detectives!
Joon
Oh no. Detectives are here... Just when we were about to escape...
Yachie
Good thing we brought these normal clothes along just in case.
Yamame
But there's still a chance they'll catch us, right?
Yachie
Not really. The chances of us getting caught are very low. And that's because Moriya Shrine has a lot of visitors today.
Joon
Much more than usual. And that was precisely our strategy this time!
Hecatia
For your next mission... I want you to bring me the Yorishiro of the War God from Moriya Shrine!
Yachie
Yorishiro of the War God...?
Joon
What's that? I've never heard of such a thing.
Hecatia
It's just a name I've given it. That's not what it's officially called. But still, I'm certain that it's worth quite a lot.
Yamame
So... what is it exactly?
Hecatia
Apparently, it's an exquisite doll of an armored warrior. It is the size of around two to three fists put together.
Hecatia
Its defining features are its sword that sparkles like glass and its slim and smooth full-body armor that even covers its face.
Strangely, I can picture something like it...!
It doesn't ring a bell at all...
Joon
It doesn't matter what it is. Our target is set. Let's come up with a strategy first!
Yachie
I have a plan I'd like to suggest.
Yamame
What is it? Let us hear it!
Yachie
First, we'll send them a notice. And then we'll spread rumors all over Gensokyo about it.
Shion
Huh? Won't that increase our risk of getting caught...?
Yachie
It'll increase the security, but it'll also bring in many onlookers. Including the worshipers, that'll add up to a lot of people.
Yachie
The name of the target was made up by our boss. So even with a notice, no one will know what we're trying to steal.
Yachie
Their best bet would be to keep an eye out for any suspicious people. But it's impossible to watch everyone in a crowd.
Joon
And we'll use that opportunity to steal the target! Sounds good! Let's go with that!
Yamame
Well, we successfully managed to steal the Yorishiro from Sanae's room! It was actually pretty dangerous though...
Yamame
I didn't think Sanae would return to her room... Luckily, we avoided detection by clinging to the ceiling just in time.
Joon
We also didn't expect Sanae to figure out what the target was... Gah! Why can't things just go smoothly for once?!
Yachie
Quiet. They might suspect us if we attract too much attention. Let's just stay low until things calm down.
Sanae
*sob*My 1/144 Hyper Grade... I saved for months just to be able to buy it! And it was a limited edition too...!
Suwako
There, there... Stop crying already, Sanae.
Kanako
We'll buy you another doll, OK?
Kanako
You know... there's that kokeshi shop in the village―
Sanae
Ｗaaaaaaaaah!
Marisa
You don't need to cry anymore, Sanae! There's always only one mystery! Truth solved!
Sanae
Isn't it, "There is always only one truth! Case closed!"?
Marisa
Shh! I'm getting to the good part! So basically... the phantom thieves who stole Sanae's precious doll are among us!
Alice
Well, that's obvious.
Patchouli
The whole point is that we don't know who they are.
Marisa
Ah... I was just having a little fun. But I really have figured out who the criminals are.
Sanae
Who are they?! Tell me, Majime!
Marisa
Who's Majime...? Sorry. I mean... the thieves who stole Sanae's doll are...!
Joon Phantom Thieves
*gulp*
Marisa
Joon Yorigami and her gang!
Joon Phantom Thieves
Wh-What?!
Marisa
You guys were pretty good, but not better than us! C'mon! Admit it!
Yamame
How did you figure out it was us?!
Joon
Shhh! Why did you have to say that?!
Yachie
Wait a minute. If you're going to accuse us, you better have some evidence.
Marisa
Heh... You want evidence? I have it right here!
Yachie
The notice...?
Marisa
That's right. Read the end part closely!
Yachie
"...to take the Yorishiro of the War God dedicated to Moriya Shrine." How is that evidence?
Marisa
A little below that.
Yachie
Uh... it says "from The Joon Phantom Thieves." ...From The Joon Phantom Thieves?!
Joon
Oh, no!
Sanae
You guys did it, didn't you?!
Kanako
You messed up the most important part. I hope you realize what a terrible crime it is to make Sanae cry.
Suwako
You better be prepared to face the punishment.
Yamame
Th-This is bad! This is bad! Wh-Wh-Wh-What do we do?!
Joon
D-D-D-Don't worry! I have a plan B exactly for a situation like this!
Yamame
That's reassuring! Now hurry and tell us about it!
Joon
Plan B is... to run! And then... run with all you've got!
Sanae
*sob* My Hypeeeeeer Graaaaaade!
Yamame
Everyone! Grab onto my string!
Patchouli
Oh, no! They broke through our defenses!
Alice
We can't let them get away! Let's go after them!
Goodbye Partners
Yachie
Why did you have to write our name on the notice?! That would obviously give it away!
Joon
B-But... I asked PLAYER about the format for notices, and so I thought that was the correct way of doing it.
I thought you'd know to skip the name part...
Maybe I didn't make it clear...
Yachie
At the very least, someone else should have properly checked the notice before sending it...!
Yamame
I-I had to deliver the notice as soon as possible, so I didn't have time to check it!
Joon
And even if they saw the name, we could have played dumb! But then Yamame had to go and admit to it!
Yamame
M-Maybe this whole plan to send the notice was flawed to begin with? Isn't that why the detectives were there?!
Yachie
What do you mean?! There were no objections to the plan when I brought it up!
Joon
What are we doing? This is no time to be fighting among ourselves! If we keep wasting time arguing like this―
Marisa
Hah! We finally caught up! We won't let you get away, Joon Phantom Thieves!
Alice
Just give up and surrender yourselves!
Joon
Eep?! They already caught up?!
Yamame
Wh-What do we do?! Do we fight them?!
Yachie
We can't afford to lose time. The people from Moriya Shrine will also catch up soon.
Joon
Then there's only one thing we can do! I'll hold them off. Yachie and Yamame, you two should escape at least!
Yamame
Huh?! We can't do that! If we're escaping, we should all escape together!
Yachie
No... I think we should do as she says. Yamame, use your strings and get the two of us out of here.
Yamame
Even you're saying that, Yachie?! Gah! A-All right!
Yachie
We'll come to rescue you! We promise!
Joon
Yes, we'll be waiting!
Marisa
Ah! Two of them are getting away!
Patchouli
Wait, Marisa. We first need to restrain these two who have stayed back.
Joon
Sorry for dragging you into this, PLAYER.
I'm sure Yachie and Yamame will get us out of this.
It's no big deal if it means I get to protect my friends.
Joon
Hehe, I feel the same way. Come on, let's buy as much time as we can...!
Joon
We'll make sure that Yachie and Yamame can escape safely!
Joon
Ahaha... *huff* Haha... facing three opponents at once sure is tough... *huff* I'm at my limit now...
Marisa
Yeah, right... You still managed to buy so much time... Will we even be able to catch up to the others now?
Alice
You have my respect, even though you're our enemy. But that doesn't change what's got to happen.
Patchouli
Quietly surrender now.
Prison of the Blast
Joon
Oh, no! I've made a terrible mistake!
Joon
I forgot to give Yachie and Yamame the Yorishiro of the War God! How could I make such a horrible blunder?!
That's not what we should be focusing on right now...
It happens... Everyone was in a hurry after all...
Joon
We worked so hard to steal it, and it just got taken away. And on top of that, we've been locked up in a dungeon...
Joon
All we can do is wait for Yachie and Yamame to come save us. But we'll still fail the mission without the doll...
Cirno
HAHAHA! Are you behaving yourselves, phantom thieves?!
Joon
Oh, look. It's the Chief and the Assistant Chief of the police force.
Daiyousei
So you really are a phantom thief. Cirno was right about you.
Joon
That self-proclaimed strongest police officer tries to arrest everyone. With that many guesses, one is bound to be right.
Cirno
Say whatever you want! You're already under arrest! By none other than me! Cirno the great!
Joon
You didn't do anything. The Three Witch Detectives are the ones who arrested us.
Joon
The strongest police officer can't do anything on her own, so I guess you'd get fired if you didn't steal the credit like this.
Cirno
Wh-What did you say?! Don't underestimate me! If I go all out, your runaway friends won't stand a chance!
Joon
Oh, really? I dare you to try! They will never be caught by the likes of you!
Cirno
Bring it on! But before that, I'll punish you!
Daiyousei
Whoa, calm down, Cirno! You can't resort to violent interrogations!
Cirno
Argh! Let go of me, Dai! I have to show them their place!
Joon
Hmph, you should've tried that before we got caught!
Joon, are you OK?
Don't tell me you're trying to...?
Joon
Yeah, I'm fine. Help should be on the way. But they won't be able to do much with those two around.
Yachie
Good call. I was wondering when would be a good time to enter.
Joon
Yachie! I didn't think you'd show up so soon!
Yachie
Our top priority right now is to get you out. Yamame is up top distracting the police.
Joon
Then we can't waste any more time. We must break out right now! Hurry! Get us out of here!
Yachie
OK, now step away from the bars. I'll be using this...
Joon
Huh?! Wait! Isn't that?! AAAAH!
Yachie
We didn't want to risk trying to steal the keys, so we had to find a workaround. Come on, let's go.
Joon
*sob* I have such reliable friends.
Joon
Ah, yes! The air above ground is the best!
Yachie
This is the escape route. Be careful not to get noticed by the police―
Cirno
Not so fast, phantom thieves! I knew you'd try to escape!
Joon
Cirno?! I thought Yamame was distracting the police!
Cirno
Hehe. Dai told me that you guys would try to escape during a commotion―No, I mean!
Cirno
It was MY gut! The great Cirno's gut feeling! Now, surrender!
Joon
OK, let's do this! This will be payback for earlier! Prepare yourself, Miss Strongest Police Officer!
Cirno
N-No way! How could I, the strongest police officer, lose twice?!
Joon
That's what you get for looking down on the Joon Phantom Thieves! The victory is ours!
Yachie
We're supposed to meet up with Yamame up ahead. Let's go to her before someone else shows up.
Joon
Ah! Look! It's Yamame―Huh? Why is she covered in wounds?!
Eternal Teamwork
Yamame
Great! I see you managed to escape unscathed! It's all thanks to my diversion, so be grateful.
Joon
Of course, we're grateful! But why are you wounded all over...?!
Yamame
I'm fine, I'm fine. It's not as bad as it looks. The otter spirits Yachie left with me helped a lot.
Joon
That's not what I'm asking! You didn't have to go to such extremes... even if it was to get us out!
Yamame
Hm? What are you on about?
Yachie
Joon... instead, answer my question first.
Joon
Huh?
Yachie
Why did you ask us to escape back when we were being chased by those witch detectives?
Joon
Well... that's because I wanted at least the two of you to be safe. And I was sure that you would come to rescue us.
Joon
I mean, I was the one who messed up the notice... so I was trying to take responsibility...
Yachie
So you do kind of understand... but not really.
Joon
What do you mean...?
I bet they both felt the same way you did.
You guys are more alike than you think.
Joon
Oh...
Yachie
Just as you put your life on the line to save us, we also wanted to rescue you, even if it meant risking our lives.
Yamame
Joon, you believed in us. And I wanted to prove you right. Is that not a good enough reason?
Joon
Yachie... Yamame...!
Yachie
And I think I'm also partly to blame for that notice. We are a team, so it's wrong to dump all the blame on one person.
Yamame
A team is built on trust. If one succeeds, the team succeeds. If one messes things up, it's the team's responsibility!
Yachie
We can hurl our opinions at each other exactly because we have that trust. We're slowly becoming a better team.
Joon
Yes, you're right. I won't say such thoughtless things anymore!
Joon
Thanks for coming to our rescue!
Yachie
You can thank us after we successfully escape from here. Someone will probably catch up to us soon.
Cirno
Hold it right there, Joon! I won't let you get away this time!
Joon
That Cirno doesn't give up, does she?
Cirno
Quiet! It's over now! There's no escape! You're completely surrounded!
Joon
Sorry but the Joon Yorigami you're seeing right now is not the same one you saw earlier.
Cirno
You're a... different Joon Yorigami? Then who are you?
Joon
All right! I'll tell you!
Joon
I'm the red flash in the night! The elusive egoist! The most disastrous phantom thief―Princess Joon!
Yachie
From the depths of Hell, I come to vanquish evil! Kiketsu Family, Yachie Kicchou―Armed and ready!
Yamame
No mercy! I'm the Hell spider guardian of Gensokyo's love! The Envoy From the Underworld, Yamame Kurodani!
Joon Phantom Thieves
Don't oppress the poor! Don't rob the poor! Help the poor! Together we are―
Joon Phantom Thieves
The Joon Phantom Thieves!
Joon
C'mon, everyone, let's show them what we're made of!
Joon
We broke through the blockade! Let's use this opportunity to flee!
Cirno
Grrrrr, not on my watch!
Yamame
Nope! You can't stop us now! We set up traps around here in advance!
Cirno
Whooooa?! Massive logs are flying our way?!
Daiyousei
She's launching them using her strings! Aaaaaaaah?! How many of them are there?!
Yamame
Come on, guys! Grab onto this string, and let's get out of here!
Cirno
Argh! This isn't over! I'll chase you to the ends of the earth!
Arrival of the Keiga Family
Hecatia
Welcome back! I knew you guys would all return in one piece!
Shion
Joon! You guys! Are you OK? You're not hurt, are you?!
Joon
Thanks for your concern, but we're in perfect shape. Well, except for Yamame... She got hurt a little...
Yamame
Don't worry about me. This is nothing!
Shion
You were being reckless again, weren't you...? Wait, I'll go get the first-aid kit―
Joon
Shion is still starving, but we failed the mission again, so we won't get the reward...
Yachie
We were so close this time. But we just fell at the final hurdle.
Yamame
Boss! Give us another mission! We won't fail this time!
Hecatia
Hehe, I knew you'd say that! So I've prepared another mission for you! Wait just a sec...
Yamame
Ah! She got back in that box...
Hecatia
Sorry for the wait.
Hecatia
Your new mission is to take back the Yorishiro of the War God from the police before they escort it back!
Yachie
You want us to steal back the Yorishiro?!
Hecatia
This is your chance to exact revenge on your fated opponents and also turn your failed mission into a victory!
Yamame
That's brilliant! I wanted to catch those guys off guard and get back at them!
Yachie
The police force is no match for us now!
Joon
I'm all fired up! Joon Phantom Thieves! Let's go get our revenge!
Joon Phantom Thieves
Yeah!
Shion
Good luck, you guys!
Hecatia
Hehe, I wonder how this mission will turn out! Hm? What is it, PLAYER? Why do you look so serious?
I was worried when we were locked in the dungeon...
I thought you'd take me back to the real world...
Hecatia
There wasn't any danger, so I thought it was all good. There are police here, but punishments don't exist.
Hecatia
Getting a little spanking would've been the worst thing that could've happened. That's how I've set it.
I shouldn't have asked. It might lessen the experience.
In that case, I can enjoy this world to the fullest!
Hecatia
Now you better hurry and catch up with the others, or you'll get left behind.
Joon
Ahー
(What are they all doing here in the middle of the road?)
Yachie
I didn't expect to meet you here...
???
That's my line, Kicchou! To think that coincidences like this can actually happen!
Yamame
Doesn't this person belong to the organization that's hostile to Yachie's...?
Saki
Yep! I'm Saki Kurokomaーthe head of the Keiga Family!
Joon
I don't think she was asking you... But whatever. What is the head of the Keiga Family doing here?
Saki
Well, actually, the police force asked me to escort the Yorishiro of the War God that's being targeted by phantom thieves!
Joon Phantom Thieves
What?!
Yachie
Hm, I see... Your skills are certainly perfect for the job of an escort.
Saki
That's right! It's an easy job with my unmatched leg strength! Be it phantom thieves or whoever! No one's faster than me!
Yachie
I can understand why they asked you, but what's your reason for accepting? You even had to come above ground for it...
Saki
Ah... Actually, the Keiga Family is struggling financially these days. So I've come away from home to earn a little...
Saki
But when the police told me about the phantom thieves, I was surprised to hear about someone I was familiar with.
Saki
And now I see that it really was you, Kicchou!
Yachie
Even if you figured out it was me, how did you know where I'd be? What made you come here?
Saki
Intuition... or more like a coincidence! I'm unfamiliar with the roads above ground, so I got lost, but I stumbled into you.
Yamame
I can't believe this... We can't be that unlucky!
Joon
Yeah... it's like we're cursed or something...
Saki
Well, whatever. I was able to bump into the suspects, thanks to that.
Saki
And now that we've met, I should greet you with a battle! Besides, if I catch you, it'll save me the trouble of escorting.
Saki
Not bad...! But this isn't how we'll settle this!
Saki
I'll protect the Yorishiro of the War God no matter what!
Yachie
*sigh* Now we have to deal with another troublesome character... But well, that doesn't change what we need to do.
Joon
Exactly. We'll complete the mission this time for sure. For all of us... and also for my sister!
Operation Steal the Treasure!
Daiyousei
We'll leave as soon as Miss Saki arrives! Everyone, please stay alert until then!
Cirno
Heh heh heh! Those Joon Phantom Thieves won't be able to do anything against our strict security!
Yachie
It looks like they haven't left yet. But I doubt they're going to sit still for much longer.
Joon
Things are definitely going to get troublesome once Saki arrives. We should force our way through while we still can.
Yamame
So what's the plan? How about I create a diversion with my strings first?
Marisa
It's not going to be that easy, y'know?
Joon Phantom Thieves
Eek?!
Alice
You're back for the Yorishiro of the War God after all, huh?
Patchouli
You did a wonderful job in breaking out of the dungeon. But this is as far as you go.
Yachie
The Three Witch Detectives?!
Joon
I should've known. Asking Saki to be the escort, setting up such tight security... Cirno isn't smart enough for all that!
Yamame
So the Three Witch Detectives were pulling the strings behind the scenes!
Marisa
You guys don't hold a patent on pulling strings, you know? And I was right in deducing that you would all come here!
Alice
I was the one who figured out when they would attack.
Patchouli
And I was the one who foresaw their hiding place.
Marisa
A-Ahem! Let's forget about the details! We just need to catch them!
Marisa
Hey, Cirno! The Joon Phantom Thieves are over here!
Cirno
What?! So they're finally here, are they?! Everyone! Follow me ーthe STRONGEST!
Yachie
This is bad. Our retreat is cut off...!
Cirno
HAHAHA! You're finally cornered, Joon Phantom Thieves! And ALL of this is thanks to MY deductions!
Joon
Isn't it thanks to the witch detectives? What am I doing?! This is no time for snide remarks...!
Yamame
If there's no way forward or back, we have to run to the side! Come on, everyone! Hurryー
Saki
Sorry I'm late. I finally made it...! What's this? The phantom thieves are here already?!
Yachie
*sigh* Such bad timing... This is exactly why I don't get along with the Keiga Family.
Daiyousei
You're late, Miss Saki.
Cirno
Where were you wasting time? Don't tell me you got lost.
Saki
S-Stop nagging! It's not my fault! I'm not used to being above ground. I'll do my job, so stop complaining!
Yamame
We're completely surrounded! Plans aren't gonna help us now!
Joon
Argh...! Escaping was never an option! The mission is to get the Yorishiro of the War God back! Right?!
Marisa
That's a dream that'll never come true as long as we're here. Forget about it and surrender already.
Yachie
We may make mistakes or even lose. But the one thing we'll never do is give up!
Joon
We're going to be the number one phantom thieves in Gensokyo! So we're going to give it our all to the end!
The Three Witch Detectives
Ack! They're stronger than before...?!
Yamame
That's thanks to our unmatched teamwork!
Marisa
W-We detectives are known for our intellect! So I'm not at all b-bitter about this loss!
Yamame
You guys were pretty amazing too! There were plenty of times when I thought we were going to lose!
Alice
It feels weird to be praised by the enemy... But maybe this is where our role ends.
Patchouli
We should leave the fights to the experts. You can take care of the rest.
Cirno
Leave it to us! And you! Stop being so full of yourself just because you defeated the detectives!
Joon
Battling so many of them head-on is gonna be really tough...!
Saki
Hold it! Not yet! Don't move yet!
Daiyousei
What do you mean? This is our chance to catch the phantom thieves...
Saki
If the whole police force moves in on them, there won't be anyone guarding the Yorishiro. So I'll deal with them...!
Yachie
You again...? Very well. We'll take you down once and for all this time.
Free Battle: 2nd Treasure
Saki
Your crimes end here, Joon Phantom Thieves! I lost earlier, but that won't happen again.
Saki
I'll prove to you that I'm the strongest animal spirit in the Animal Realm!
Saki
I lost! I lost twice on the same day to the same opponents... Grrr, I need to train more!
Yamame
It's too late now, but shouldn't you have escorted the Yorishiro of the War God while the police bought you some time?
Yamame
Then I wouldn't have been able to catch up even with my strings, and you would've successfully completed your job.
Saki
Why didn't I think of that...?!
Yachie
Too bad. You could've seen my bitterly disappointed face. But instead, I get to see you be miserable.
Saki
Aaargh! Just you wait, Kicchou! I'll settle this with you in the Animal Realm! You better prepare yourself!
Yachie
Oh, it's on! Now go back to the Animal Realm before me and wait for that day.
Free Battle: 3rd Treasure
Cirno
Not bad! You beat the one I called for help! But as long as the strongest police officer is here, evil shall not succeed!
Daiyousei
Um, the witch detectives called her for help... Well, whatever! I swear on my police badge that we will arrest you!
Daiyousei
*sob* We didn't stand a chance!
Cirno
Not yet! It's not over yet! There are many more police squads! If we attack all at once, I'm sure―
Joon
Forget it, Cirno. This is the end of the long rivalry that we had.
Cirno
Wh-What?! You're still acting tough under these circumstances?!
Joon
I'm not acting tough. We've already won.
Joon
The Joon Phantom Thieves have just started coming into their own!
Dropped War God
Joon
Let's go, everyone!
Cirno
It's pointless to resist! You're completely surrounded!
Joon
Are you sure about that?
Daiyousei
Huh...?!
Yachie
Your main force has come too far ahead. Look. Your formation has crumbled.
Yachie
All we need to do is focus our attacks where the line is thinnest...!
Joon
This is our chance! We're going to break through their net in a single push!
Yachie
Go, otter spirits! Don't let them regain their formation!
Cirno
What's happening?! Where did all these otter spirits come from?!
Yamame
The most important and precious Yorishiro of the War God is wide open! Now we can easily steal it!
Daiyousei
No way! She snuck through the gaps in our defenses by freely flying around with her strings and stole it in a blink of an eye!
Cirno
Dai... shouldn't you be too busy defending to report that in so much detail?
Yamame
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay! The Yorishiro of the War God is ours!
Joon
Well done, Yamame! Now we just need to open up our escape route!
Yachie
Let me take care of that! I'll use smoke bombs to block their vision!
Cirno
*cough* *cough* *cough*! Jooooooon! That's playing dirty!
Joon
Farewell, Cirno! This time around, it's a hands-down victory for us!
Daiyousei
We'll soon catch up―argh, I can't move...! It must be from the damage I took in the battle of bullets earlier!
Cirno
*sob* AAARGH! We lost MISERABLY!
Hecatia
Mission complete! Congratulations!
Hecatia
You finally did it! I'm so proud to be your boss!
Joon
At last we saw a mission through to the very end and cleared it!
Yachie
Why am I crying even though I'm so happy?
Yamame
It's still too early to be crying happy tears. We need to save it for the celebration party!
Shion
That's right. Let's go all out and celebrate together!
Hecatia
OK, now can you like show me the Yorishiro of the War God? I just want to make sure it's authentic.
Yamame
All right! It's right here in my pocket―Wait, what?
Joon
Come on, Yamame! Give it to the boss already!
Yamame
It's not here... There's a hole in my pocket...
Yachie
Huh...?
Yamame
It looks like... I dropped it... *sniff* while I was running away... UWAAAAAAAA!
Joon
Oh, no! Don't cry, Yamame! It's not your fault!
Yachie
That's right! We're also responsible for not helping you carry it! And you were the most active one in this mission!
One person's mistake is the team's mistake!
Your tattered outfit shows how hard you've worked!
Yamame
But... it was my fault...!
Shion
Don't cry. It's OK. We'll all give it our best once more.
Yamame
*sob* *sniff* Shion is looking thinner by the day...
Shion
I have it the easiest since I never leave the base. Don't worry about me so much... Ah, I feel dizzy... Oof...
Joon Phantom Thieves
Shiooooon...!
Hecatia
Hm... Welp, I guess I have no choice. I didn't want to intervene much, but oh well...
The Pursuit of Yorigami's Sister
Joon
Why do we keep failing every single time? Even after all the hard work we put in as a team...!
Shion
Joon... I'm fine now, so cheer up, OK?
Shion
Ah... *groan*
Joon
We need to do something soon, or it'll be too late...
Hecatia
OK! Enough of this gloomy mood! You don't have the time to be moping around here.
Yachie
But we failed the mission once again...
Hecatia
Then I'll give you a new mission as usual! I have a very special one for you this time.
Hecatia
Your mission is to steal the Autumn Harvest from the sisters who preside over the autumn foliage and bountiful harvests!
Hecatia
You can clear this light mission first to fill your empty stomachs and recharge your motivation.
Yamame
A light mission...? You mean it'll be easier than the missions you've given us so far?
Hecatia
Yes. What you need right now is, frankly, a taste of success! Who cares if it's easy! Just break free from your losing streak!
Joon Phantom Thieves
I see...!
I feel like there's more to it...
There has got to be a catch here...
Hecatia
Stop looking at it with such suspicion. It's true that the mission is light and easy.
Hecatia
It's a decision I've taken not as the boss but as the creator of this world. I want to secretly help you guys this time.
Hecatia
It's not a mission I had initially planned, but I've added in two easy-to-beat Aki sisters who have stashed some food away.
Hecatia
It's basically a staged mission that you can clear no problem. You'll get the Autumn Harvest and be freed from hunger.
Not the right thing to do as a boss but right as a goddess.
But what if there really is a catch here...?
Joon
Hey, PLAYER! We're having a strategy meeting. Come join us!
Yachie
We still have time until the mission starts. Let's look back on our mistakes and find ways to avoid repeating them.
Yamame
There's no room for mistakes this time. We need to get a proper understanding of what we're doing wrong.
Shion
You all seem to be motivated. Let me brew some tea for you guys.
Joon
Thanks, Shion.
Yachie
OK, then let me get right to the main issue. Frankly speaking, I think this is all because we don't have any luck.
Yamame
Yes, that's it! I was thinking the same thing! It's like we always get unlucky when we're just about to succeed!
Joon
Bad luck, huh? I suppose we can't just ignore it...
Joon
Sorry, you guys... but I think the reason behind our bad luck might be my sister's ability.
Joon
Shion is a poverty god. Completing missions and getting rewards are things that her ability can never allow.
Yachie
So that's why... That explains all the inexplicable things that have been happening so far.
Yamame
No matter how you look at it, we've been having unbelievable bad luck. So much so that I was more confused than sad.
Joon
Missions that we should've succeeded. Rewards that we should've got. All of it was probably ruined by Shion's ability...
Shion
...!
Joon
But please don't blame her! She's... To me, Shion is...!
Yamame
Even if that was true... we don't mind at all! Not in the slightest!
Joon
Huh?
Yachie
Even if she wasn't your beloved sister... she's still a precious friend to me.
Yamame
The bond between friends doesn't break because of such things. Isn't that right?
Joon
Thanks, you guys! Shion and I... we both have such wonderful friends!
Hm? Where's Shion? She hasn't returned yet.
Shion will be really happy to hear all of this!
Joon
Come to think of it, she should be back by now. It doesn't take this long to get hot water... I mean tea.
Joon
Shion's not in the kitchen! Even though the tea is ready...!
Yamame
Did she hear us talking earlier?!
Yachie
The fact that she left means that she definitely didn't hear the entire conversation.
Hecatia
Did she feel responsible and go to complete the mission on her own...? Hm... it sounds like something she'd do.
Joon
This is so not funny! We can't let Shion do something so reckless all by herself! Come on, everyone! Let's go after her!
Yachie
OK, so we're here on the Youkai Mountain, but I still can't see any sign of Shion.
Joon
We need to track her down before she reaches the Aki sisters.
Mamizou
Ooh, ooh, ooh... What are y'all doing in such a place?
Mamizou
This territory belongs to the Futatsuiwa Badaboom Phantom Thieves. Leave all yer belongings behind if ya wanna pass.
(Has Miss Mamizou's character also been modified...?)
Yamame
Huh? Are you confusing phantom thieves for bandits? We're in a hurry, so we won't go easy on you if you stand in our way!
Mamizou
Ow, ow, ouch... Y'all are strong. I admit complete defeat. Do as ya please with me!
Joon
Well, then step aside. We need to find my sister.
Mamizou
Yer sister? Ah, yes. There was someone else who passed by me earlier.
Mamizou
We tried to attack her, but for some reason, we all just fell over. We couldn't even chase after her.
Joon
Who cares―No, wait, that's definitely Shion's ability. If she has gone ahead, then we need to hurry!
Yachie
We'll let you go, but you owe compensation for attacking us. Kiketsu Family will be sending you a bill, so you better pay up.
Mamizou
Oof!
Free Battle: 4th Treasure
Yamame
Why are there so many fairies around here all of a sudden? And they're even chasing after us.
Yachie
That's because they like pranks. They probably just heard the commotion from earlier and have come to play.
Joon
Gosh, does it look like we have the time for that?! Let's get rid of them once and for all.
Joon
I'm not going to let it slide as just a prank if you mess with us now!
Yamame
Wow, they scattered off so quickly. Why did they even come in the first place?
Yachie
They can't stop with their pranks even when they know they should. Such is the nature of fairies.
Joon
We wasted a lot of time because there were so many of them. Come on, we need to hurry and catch up with Shion!
Hidden Strongest Sisters
Joon
The Aki sisters were supposed to be around here, which means Shion should also be close by―Ah!
Shion
*groan*
Joon
Shion?! Why do you look so beat up...?!
Yamame
Quick! We need to help her! It'll be bad if she's wounded!
Yachie
Wait! There's someone behind Shion...!
Shizuha
Oh? It looks like we have more visitors.
Minoriko
They keep coming one after another. It's such a busy day today.
Joon
The Aki sisters... How dare you do that to my sister! I won't forgive you for this! Prepare yourselves!
Yachie
We don't know if they're responsible for Shion's condition yet, but they're definitely suspicious. And either way...
Yamame
...We need to deal with them to complete the mission! And we can also avenge Shion at the same time!
Shizuha
Oh? It looks... like we have more visitors.
Minoriko
They keep coming... one after another. It's such a busy day today.
Yachie
What's wrong...? Why are they acting so strange?
Joon
Who cares! I will make you feel the same pain my sister has gone through!
Aki Sisters
...
Yamame
Surprise explosion! We're phantom thieves, so you can't call it cowardly!
Yachie
I'm not so sure about that... But well, I never intended to fight in a fair duel.
Joon
No hard feelings, OK?! Now, let's get Shion and the Autumn Harvest and leave so we can complete the mission―
Shizuha
...
Minoriko
...
Joon
Huh?! It didn't work at all!
Yachie
It was a direct hit! They can't possibly be unharmed after that attack...!
Shizuha
Oh, Oh, OhOhOhOhOhOhOhOh! It lookslookslookslookslookslookslookslookslookslooks!
Minoriko
They, they, they, theytheytheythey! keepkeepkeepkeepkeepkeep comingcomingcomingcoming!
Yamame
Eek! What's happening?! This is beyond strange!
Hecatia
What the hell is this...? Joon's surprise attack landed perfectly.
Hecatia
I made it so the Aki sisters couldn't withstand an attack like that. They're not even capable of battling in the first place.
Hecatia
This means there's only one other explanation... And if that has happened... then this might end very badly...
Shizuha
Oh, OhOhOhOhOhOhOhOh! It lookslookslookslookslookslooks... Likelikelikelikelikelikelikelike...!
Minoriko
Oneafteranotheranotheranotheranotheranother! Such a busy day todaydaydaydaydaydaydaydayday!
Joon
They're not making any sense, but they're cunningly shooting out bullets! It's clear they want a fight!
Yachie
We didn't have to take them down, but they're getting in our way. If a battle is what they want, then we'll give them that.
Yamame
Don't underestimate our teamwork!
Joon
Just hold on, Shion! We'll defeat these two, and then I'll get you something delicious to eat!
Joon
*huff* *huff*...! That boss of ours! She lied to us...! How is this an easy mission?!
Yamame
How are they so strong even after being outnumbered by us...?!
Yachie
There's something wrong here... This is completely different from the way the Aki sisters usually battle―
Shizuha
Oh? It looks like...
Toyohime
...we have more visitors.
Minoriko
They keep coming one after another...
Yorihime
It's such a busy day today.
Joon Phantom Thieves
Wh-What...?! Whaaaaaaaaaat's going on...?!
The Sisters' Unlucky Day
Yorihime
...
Toyohime
...
Joon
Ahaha... This is a pretty bad joke. The opponents we've been fighting have suddenly turned into different people...
Yachie
And it looks like it's not just their appearance that has changed... I sense tremendous power from them...!
Yorihime
Hyaa!
Toyohime
Hmpf!
Yamame
Whoa?! Their attacks are too intense! And they're expressionless the whole time!
Joon
If they keep up with their crazy attacks, Shion might get hurt...! We need to stop them right now!
Yachie
How about this?!
Yamame
I won't just stand here and lose!
Toyohime
...
Yorihime
...
Yachie's missile got blown away?!
Yamame's strings got shredded to pieces?!
Joon
This is ridiculous! Argh! Give me a break already!
Hecatia
Uh oh... Things took a turn for the worse after all... The Aki sisters turned into the Watatsuki sisters of all things...
Hecatia
Did something go wrong 'cause I fiddled with the settings? An unintentional irregularity... It's one of those bug things!
Hecatia
A goddess of Otherworlds can't watch from the sidelines. I'm worried about PLAYER with those two opponents.
Hecatia
I guess I have no other option. I need to go to the Youkai Mountain―Eh? What's this?
Yamame
It's like our attacks aren't working at all...!
Yachie
Is this it for us...?
Joon
Is this where we...?!
The future number one phantom thieves never give up!
Joon
Yeah... PLAYER is right! We can't give up now!
Yachie
I'm so ashamed. I was the one who said that we would never give up, wasn't I?
Yamame
We'll save Shion and complete the mission too! We'll accomplish both and get closer to our dreams!
Joon
Shion...! Please give us the power to fight...! Just a little will do, so please...!
Shion
OK... Joon... you guys... make sure you win...!
Toyohime
Hmph!
Yachie
Oh, no! I can't dodge from this position!
Toyohime
Aaaaaaah?!
Yachie
Huh? The bullets... missed?
Joon
It looked like the dirt kicked up from her bullets went into her eye... Did she just self-destruct?
Yorihime
Hyaa!
Yamame
The younger sister is relentless! She's coming at us with full-on murderous intent!
Yorihime
Hyaa?!
Yamame
Eh? She stepped on some nuts on the ground... and tripped?
Toyohime
Grrr?!
Yorihime
Grrrrrr?!
Joon
Don't let your guard down! They are recovering quickly! They're going to attack again―
Watatsuki Sisters
AAAAAAAAAH!
Joon
Huh...? Th-They fell into a pit trap...?
Yachie
Why is there a pit trap here...? Well, that was lucky. It's like...
This bad luck feels familiar...
Is luck on our side...?
Joon
Don't tell me this is the effect of Shion's ability? She fainted, but her powers are still working on the Watatsuki sisters!
Yamame
That's it! This kind of bad luck has got to be it!
Yachie
We're already used to it. But can the two of you withstand being hit by the surging waves of bad luck for the first time?
Watatsuki Sisters
*groan*...!
Joon
Shion gave us this chance! So I'm not gonna pass it up! C'mon, everyone! Let's muster up all the energy we have!
Watatsuki Sisters
Oof...
Yamame
This is the result of the Joon Phantom Thieves' teamwork!
Yachie
Now that all our powers have aligned, there's no one who can take us down!
Joon
Shion! Are you OK? Are you hurt?
Shion
*groan* Joon...? I...
Joon
You were beaten by the Aki sisters, weren't you? Don't strain yourself to get up.
Shion
No, Joon... I... I fainted because...
Joon
Don't tell me we didn't get all the enemies?!
Shion
When I got here... I was starving... and I reached my limit... Hehe, do you have anything to eat?
Virtual Observation Records of the East
Joon
So basically... you fainted due to hunger...? Like, really?! I was seriously worried about you for nothing!
Joon Phantom Thieves
Ahahahahahaha!
Shion
Come on... don't laugh...
Hecatia
Sorry to intrude on your fun.
Joon
Boss?!
Hecatia
I saw your impressive performance! Good job, everyone! You've successfully completed the mission!
Yamame
YAY! We did it! We really did it this time...!
Joon
Our first completed mission!
Yachie
We waited a long time for it, but this sense of accomplishment truly feels amazing...!
Hecatia
And don't worry, I have your reward! But there's still one thing you need to do, you know?
Joon
Of course! I want to celebrate without any regrets. So I need to take responsibility.
Shion
Joon...?
Joon
I'm sorry, Shion. You felt bad after you heard us talking and then went all the way out here by yourself―
Shion
W-Wait! I'm the one who should be apologizing! You all kept failing because I exist...
Shion
I thought I had to make amends, but I just ended up being a nuisance. No matter what I do, I'm always a burden...
Yamame
So we were right about why Shion ran off... Looks like she heard only half of what we said.
Yachie
Yeah, and that's exactly why we need to say it once more.
Joon
Gosh... please listen to the end this time, OK?!
Shion
Huh?
Yamame
We don't mind at all! Not in the slightest! The bond between friends doesn't break because of such things!
Yachie
Even if you weren't Joon's beloved sister... you're still a precious friend to me. You don't owe us anything.
None of us has ever seen you as a burden!
Joon
Shion, you and I both have such wonderful friends. You get it now, right? So there's no need to cry!
Shion
You guys...
Yamame
What's this...? Joon, Yachie... are the two of you blushing?
Joon
Sh-Shut up!
Yachie
It's just a little difficult to put such things into words when the person is right in front of you...
Joon
Speaking of nuisance, this whole situation is a nuisance! OK! Enough of this topic!
Shion
*sniffle*... Hehe. Thanks, you guys.
Hecatia
*sniffle*... It really is a nuisance of a story! Don't do that... Gah, my vision is all blurry from my eyes being wet!
Joon
Boss... why are you weeping more than Shion...?
Hecatia
You all are like my kids... Do I need a reason to be happy about how much progress you guys have made...?!
Yamame
O-OK, we get it. Just calm down!
Yachie
R-Rather, let's talk about the reward! I think it would be a good idea for all of us to celebrate together!
Hecatia
Nah... you guys don't need the reward anymore.
Joon Phantom Thieves
Huh...?
Hecatia
You already got a treasure without even having to steal. Yes! That fire burning bright in your hearts right now...
Hecatia
...is the greatest treasure you could ever have. You got it from doing something for a person you care about!
Joon Phantom Thieves
...
Hecatia
It's the greatest treasure... easure... sure... ure...!
Joon
Yeah, OK! Now quickly hand over our reward!
Yachie
Now that's our boss. Trying to get away with not handing over the good stuff. But did you really think we'd let it go?
Yamame
It was such a nice mood, and you ruined it! You useless goddess!
Shion
I'm so hungry! Get me something to eat already!
Hecatia
H-Huh?! Did I do something wrong? Where did I go wrong?!
Yachie
*sigh* I'm so tired after the fierce battle, and now this... You said it would be easy. Was that also to test us?
Yamame
The sisters changed into other sisters midway, and the target was weird. And not just that, the sisters were super strong.
Hecatia
*gulp*! Um... that was...
*stare*
It's called karma.
Hecatia
C-C'mon now! Who cares about all that?!
Hecatia
I've arranged for your reward! The tastes of autumn are waiting for you! I prepared a magnificent celebration!
Joon Phantom Thieves
A feast?!
Hecatia
C'mon, hurry and get back to the base! I'll quickly wind things up here and join you.
Joon Phantom Thieves
Yeah!
Joon
What're you doing, PLAYER?! Come on! Everyone will eat up your share if you're slow!
Yachie
Our phantom thief gang finally took shape after you joined us. I'm a little late in saying this, but I'd like to thank you!
Yamame
Hehe. I was doubtful about you at first. So I was surprised to see how reliable you are!
Shion
We made progress all because you were here with us. I'm really grateful to you, PLAYER.
Shion
Joon is too. She won't say it, but she really appreciates it. Hehe, she's like that. She's never honest with people she likes.
I'm glad to be a part of your gang too!
Joon
What are you guys doing?! I'm really going to leave you behind!
Shion
OK! We're coming!
Hecatia
Oh, PLAYER, can you please stay behind? There's something I need to tell you.
Sounds important...
But what about the party?!
Hecatia
I'm sorry... I gotta send you back to the real world.
Hecatia
I need to urgently fix the bug from earlier and conduct an overall check to see if it has adversely affected this world.
Hecatia
It can't be done from inside this world. And I can't leave you alone in a world that might be dangerous.
Hecatia
I'm really sorry. I didn't mean for it to happen, but my carelessness caused this...
It's OK... It can't be helped.
Please try your best to keep this world safe.
Hecatia
Thank you, PLAYER. You're a really good kid.
Hecatia
I'm baaaaaaaack!
Yukari
Stop being so chipper when you say that... *sigh* You even took PLAYER with you.
Hecatia
Whoa?! Yukari?!
Yukari
Reimu told me about what you did. So I've been waiting for PLAYER to return.
Hecatia
My, my, am I really that untrustworthy? I'm a teeny-tiny bit shocked. *sob* *sob*!
Yukari
Oh please...
Hecatia
Hehe! But before we talk about that, I want some advice on the sales strategy for The Chivalrous Phantom Thief Princess.
Yukari
Huh? Sales strategy?
Hecatia
I think this will be a great hit in Gensokyo! So pretty please! Help me with the production line!
Yukari
You never said anything about selling it!
Hecatia
You serious?! You don't wanna release such a masterpiece to the world?! I'm sure you'll agree if you try it!
Yukari
Sorry, but my mind is made up. I'm confiscating The Chivalrous Phantom Thief Princess.
Hecatia
How mean! Do you know how hard I worked on this?! C'mon! Give it back! I want it, I want it, I waaaaaaant it!
Yukari
Can you stop clinging to me?! Hey, stop that...! Your chains...! Stop. It's dangerous!
I wonder if Miss Hecatia was trying to cheer me up?
Oh, well... They both get along, so I guess they'll be fine.
Reimu
Oh, PLAYER... you're back already? It must have been rough being dragged into that weird world―
Reimu
―Wait, why do you look so serious? Did something happen there?
No, nothing. I just thought it'd be nice to see them again.
Return Game
Yukari
Hmmm... What a dilemma.
Ran
Oh, Lady Yukari. What are you groaning about?
Yukari
It's about this thing Hecatia made. I was just thinking how it would be a waste to erase all the data.
Ran
Oh, I see. You're talking about that tiny swap box that contains the virtual Gensokyo.
Yukari
Yes, I'm really curious about what's inside. But I'd feel weird playing it myself after confiscating it from Hecatia.
Ran
Hm, I get what you mean. Then why don't you just ask PLAYER about it?
Yukari
PLAYER?
Ran
Talking to someone who has experienced the world inside might help you understand it more.
Yukari
That's a great idea! OK, then I'll go ask her!
Ran
Take care―and she's gone. I doubt someone like Lady Yukari will be satisfied by just listening to stories about that world.
Ran
Sorry, PLAYER. Lady Yukari might cause you some trouble, but please take care of it...!
Yukari
And so... will you tell me?
What "And so"?! Can you please explain better?
Yukari
Gosh, you're so slow to catch on. I'm obviously talking about this.
Reimu
*sigh* That again? Can you please not get PLAYER involved in any of your nuisances?
Yukari
*sniff* So mean! When have I ever been a nuisance to any of you?!
Reimu
...
Yukari
Ahem. Let's forget the past. The present is more important than the past. And the future even more so.
Yukari
Come on, PLAYER. Please tell me. I really want to know what's inside.
It was so much fun that it felt like it all went by in a flash!
It was full of thrills and excitement!
Yukari
Wow, I didn't know you liked it so much. Now I'm even more curious about what's inside... Hmmmmmmmmm...
Yukari
I want to play it, but what will Hecatia say...? Ah! Wait a minute! I have an idea!
Reimu
I don't like the sound of that...
Yukari
Hey, listen PLAYER. Don't you want to go back to that world once more?
Reimu
Yukari?! Don't tell me you're―
Yukari
I will fulfill your wish. And in return, you can teach me how to enjoy that world, OK?
Huh?!
Yukari
And so...! I'm the new rookie who will join The Joon Phantom Thieves today! Along with PLAYER!
Joon Phantom Thieves
Nice to meet you!
Again... What "And so"?! You need to explain better!
Yukari
Calm down. You've already experienced this, right? But then again, this world is slightly different from the one you cleared.
Yukari
Everything has been reset, so these girls don't know who you are.
Yukari
You better not say or do anything suspicious―Oh, Hecatia must've already explained all of this, right?
Yukari
By the way, the Hecatia in that box is the one native to this world. So, of course, she can't make changes to this world.
Yukari
In other words, Hecatia will not intervene at all this time. It's just you and me. So let's explore this world together.
Why did you bring me with you?
Yukari
Well, that's because even I want to enjoy―No! Um, I mean, weren't you the one who said you wanted to come back?
Yukari
Let's just pretend that is what happened. Else it would be a pain when Hecatia finds out. Will you help me?
I guess it'll be fun playing phantom thief with everyone.
You always help me, so I'd like to return the favor.
Yukari
Thank you, PLAYER! Everyone should have true friends like you!
Yukari
As thanks, I'll give you a muuuuch more thrilling and enjoyable experience compared to your last visit!
Yukari
Heehee. Different versions are part of what makes games fun, right?
Phantom Thief Association
Shizuha
*sigh* I can hardly wait for autumn. We'll be able to laze around even more then.
Minoriko
But Shizuha, we've already gathered so many flavors of autumn. We can while away the rest of the year again.
Shizuha
Indeed. Working is for fools. We can live comfortably if we use our powers, so why would we ever work?
???
That's enough! You lazy, self-indulgent, autumn-devouring sisters!
Minoriko
How dare you?! Who are you to call us lazy?!
Shizuha
Yeah! We're just having our fill of autumn without working!
???
That's what it means to be lazy... But whatever! I'll tell you who we are!
Joon
I'm the red flash in the night! The elusive egoist! The most disastrous phantom thief―Princess Joon!
Yachie
From the depths of Hell, I come to vanquish evil! Kiketsu Family, Yachie Kicchou―Armed and ready!
Yamame
No mercy! I'm the Hell spider guardian of Gensokyo's love! The Envoy From the Underworld, Yamame Kurodani!
Joon Phantom Thieves
We're the Joon Phantom Thieves!
You guys nailed it once again!
We're finally on the last mission...!
Minoriko
Did you say the Joon Phantom Thieves?! The gang everyone around town is talking about lately?!
Shizuha
The ones who are known for almost succeeding in their heists only to always fail at the very last moment?!
Joon
Sh-Shut up! Anyway! We'll be taking the flavors of autumn you've stockpiled!
Yachie
This is a good opportunity for you to improve and stop slacking. It'll act as a cure for your laziness.
Yamame
So prepare yourselves! It's easy to gain weight in autumn, so you'll regret it if you don't get some exercise!
Minoriko
Th-That's true! I've been eating a lot lately―Wait, no! We're not going to let you steal our flavors of autumn so easily!
Shizuha
If you want them, you'll have to go through us first!
This was when they turned into the Watatsuki sisters...
Phew, they're still just slightly disappointing Aki sisters!
Joon
Come on! Let's do this like we always do! Joon Phantom Thieves, attack!
Joon Phantom Thieves
Yeah!
Aki Sisters
Au... tumn...
Yachie
And now the mission is complete.
Joon
We finally managed to succeed in a mission! Now I can finally feed delicious food to Shion...!
Yamame
We've taken the flavors of autumn, so now all we have to do is report to Boss. Let's make sure we don't lose them this time.
Great, it looks like it will all end well.
It'll be over after this...
Joon
Why do you look so lost, PLAYER? Come on, we're going back to the base where Shion is waiting for us.
Joon
Ah, I can't wait to get the reward!
Hecatia
Congratulations! You guys finally did it! You really completed the mission!
Shion
Congrats, Joon. Congrats, everyone. You guys really did well!
Joon
Hehe, rather, we should apologize for failing so much. You've only seen tough times because of us.
Yachie
But those days are over now. We've finally taken a big step forward.
Yamame
Boss! Please hurry and give us our reward now! We're starving!
Hecatia
Of course! I've already asked Yukari to cook the flavors of autumn you guys retrieved!
I'm looking forward to the food prepared by Miss Yukari!
I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this...
Joon
Let's go help her. We stole the food together, now let's cook it together―
Joon
Huuuuuuuh?!
Yamame
Wh-What's wrong, Joon? What's in the kitchen―Eeeeeeh?!
Yachie
Why are you guys yelling―Whaaaaaat?!
Shion
I-I don't believe this...? Where are the flavors of autumn we brought to the kitchen...?! They're all gone!
Hecatia
And where's Yukari? I don't see her either. Don't tell me she...
???
Heehee... It took you long enough to notice.
Yachie
That voice?! It came from outside!
Yamame
Let's go see!
Yukari
Finally! There you are! The Joon Phantom Thieves!
Joon
I knew it! That was your voice, Yukari! Don't tell me you're the one who took the flavors of autumn...
Yukari
Yes, I did it. I've been waiting for this very moment all along. I pretended to be on your side just so I could steal your reward.
You rewrote the ending to this?! That's so mean!
You rewrote the ending to this?! It's kind of... exciting!
Yachie
How could you steal our reward? Who are you?!
Yukari
Good question! Let me tell you who I am―or rather who we are!
Yamame
You're not alone?!
Yukari
Let me introduce you all! Come on out!
Byakuren
A monk by day and a biker by night. I'm the phantom thief magician who operates in secret! Byakuren Hijiri!
Nitori
Camouflage! Infiltration! Diversion! Covert operations are my forte! I'm the phantom thief engineer, Nitori Kawashiro!
Saki
Stealing everything with unmatched leg strength and burning with speed...! I'm the pegasus phantom thief, Saki Kurokoma!
Yukari
And last but not leastーme! Pulling all the strings behind the scenes! The Mastermind Phantom Thief, Yukari Yakumo!
Phantasm
Together the four of us areーThe Phantom Thief Association: Phantasm!
Joon Phantom Thieves
S-Say what?!
Otters vs. Wolves
Shion
The Phantom Thief Association: Phantasm... I've heard of them. They're a gang full of elite phantom thieves.
Yamame
They're pretty much the number one gang in Gensokyo. Their unidentified leader is rumored to be the strongest thief!
Yachie
She's the best there is. With beauty, wisdom, and valor, she's the creme de la creme of phantom thieves!
Joon
To think that Yukari was that legendary phantom thief...!
Yukari
D-Did I maybe go overboard with this backstory? This is pretty embarrassing.
It looks like anything goes now...
No one else could come up with such a detailed story!
Yukari
Ahem, what am I blushing for...? Let's get to the point!
Yukari
Joon Phantom Thieves! This is our challenge to you!
Yukari
We have taken the reward that you stole. So if you want it back, you'll have to beat us in a fight!
Yukari
If you can do that, I'll return all the flavors of autumn. And I'll even throw in a little something extra.
Joon
All right, bring it on! It's an honor to be challenged by the legendary phantom thief.
Yachie
Yeah, if we can beat you, we'll instantly be closer to our dream of becoming the best phantom thieves in Gensokyo.
Yamame
The flavors of autumn will taste even more delicious after we become the number one gang in Gensokyo!
Shion
I agree. Let's win for sure and have a delicious meal together!
Yukari
I'm glad to see that you're motivated. Well then, let's begin the match!
Yukari
Your first opponents will be... Byakuren and Saki! I'll leave this to the two of you!
Byakuren
Heehee, please go easy on me.
Saki
I lost before as an escort, but I won't lose as a phantom thief!
Yukari
The theme of the match is to steal hearts! There's more than one target, so the team that collects the most hearts wins!
Yamame
Steal hearts? Is it even possible to do such a thing?
Yukari
Doing the impossible is exactly what makes a top-notch phantom thief. Now, let's introduce the targets.
Saki
The targets are the wolf spirits I lead. And the targets from your side will be...
Yachie
Oh, I get it. The targets from our side will be the otter spirits I command...
Byakuren
That's correct. We'll be stealing the hearts of your otter spirits, and you will have to steal the hearts of our wolf spirits.
Saki
The side that steals the most hearts wins!
Joon
Sounds interesting! Those rules are fine with us!
Shion
But how are we meant to steal something like that...?
Yukari
Well, we suggested the rules so I guess we can go first and you can watch and learn.
Yachie
I'll have you know that my otter spirits aren't pushovers. Stealing their hearts will be harder than you think.
Saki
Hahaha! Let's see how long they'll last! That'll be a sight worth seeing! C'mon, bring out your otter spirits!
Yachie
You asked for it...
Saki
OK! Here they come. Let's get this started...! Everyone! ATTENTION!
Shion
Huh?! Why is she suddenly yelling at them?!
Saki
Stop being so slow! I'll knock you into shape! Let's turn that opportunistic nature into a warrior's spirit!
Yachie
A-Are you crazy? Otter spirits are not the same as wolf spirits.
Yachie
Look... they're frightened... you can forget about stealing their hearts like this...
Saki
Hmph! We'll see!
Yachie
...?!
Byakuren
Oh, my... you poor things! Stop being so rough with them.
Byakuren
It's OK. I won't hurt you. Come on... come to me.
Byakuren
You deserve a break sometimes. Hehe, I'll pet those who come to me.
Joon
What's this?! The otter spirits are running away from Saki...?!
Yachie
They're flocking around Byakuren. Hm, this is just like the tactic from the North Wind and the Sun story.
Yamame
No way! The North Wind and the Sun can't work together! That's cheating!
Yukari
The method matters not. What's important is the fact that they stole hearts! Now how will you do it?
Joon
How? We'll use the same strategy...
Yachie
That's not going to work because Kurokoma has strictly disciplined those wolf spirits.
Yamame
So they won't try to escape the harshness of the North Wind and go to the warmth of the Sun... Then what can we do?!
Saki
Hahaha! It's impossible to steal hearts from the Keiga Family! We aspire to have overwhelming strength and train every day!
Joon
Overwhelming strength...? Oh, that could work!
Yachie
Did you come up with a good strategy?
Joon
Yes. The wolf spirits adore strength, right? So if we defeat their leader, Saki...
Yachie
Hmmm, I see what you mean.
Saki
Huh? Wait a minute! It's a contest to steal hearts! Isn't it against the rules to hurt the opponent...?
Yamame
What do you mean? Your leader said it herself!
Shion
The method matters not!
Byakuren
Argh...! Why did you have to say such a thing?
Yukari
Ahahaha... sorry about that.
Joon
Now, prepare yourselves!
Byakuren & Saki
N-Namusaaaaan!
Byakuren & Saki
Oof...
Yamame
Look! All the wolf spirits are coming this way!
Shion
And there are so many more than the otter spirits we lost!
Joon
Would you look at that! That's one win for us now, right?
Yukari
Not bad. But the next round won't be so easy. You'll be facing me, the head of the gang!
Sweet Lost Night
Yukari
I don't lose to anyone. And I mean ANYONE. That's because I'm the most outstanding phantom thief in all of Gensokyo!
Good to see that you're having fun... Miss Yukari.
We won't lose either!
Nitori
You miraculously won the first round, but you don't stand a chance against the boss and me together!
Yamame
Yeah, right! We'll win again!
Yukari
You can smack talk all you want, but it won't hide the fact that you're already exhausted from the first round.
Joon
Well, that's...
Yukari
You're no match for us in that stateー
Hecatia
What do you mean? I'm still totally fit and fine! Even stealing the moon right now would be a walk in the park for me.
Yukari
Whoa?! Hecatia?!
Yamame
Boss?! Where were you all this time?!
Hecatia
I kinda got stuck while coming out of that box... It took me a while to get out of there.
Oh, right! She wasn't here this whole time!
Our reliable helper is here!
Hecatia
Listen up, Phantom Thief Association: Phantasm! How dare you steal my cute little gang's reward!
Hecatia
You will now have to face me! So get ready!
Shion
Wait a minute, Boss! Let me fight with you!
Joon
Shion?! What are you saying?!
Shion
I've always relied on Joon and the others until now. But I want to help... at least at a time like this!
Joon
Shion...
Hecatia
All right, Shion. You and I will be the dream team. Let's get everyone's reward back together!
Yukari
I wasn't expecting to face these two... But I don't suppose it matters. We won't lose no matter whom we're up against.
Yukari
OK, then let me explain the rules for the second half of this match. It's a dessert-making showdown!
Hecatia
Dessert-making...? How is that related to phantom thieves?
Nitori
Tut tut tut! How isn't it?! Making sweets is a beautiful art.
Yukari
Anyone can steal. A phantom thief, on the other hand, can fascinate people with their artistic plans and fine execution.
Yukari
It's like creating desserts by mastering recipes and techniques. This is a showdown of phantom thief artistic skill!
Yachie
That makes sense. Maybe there's some similarity between dessert-making and being a phantom thief after all.
Yukari
Your stolen reward will be used for this showdown. So the ingredients are flavors of autumn like chestnuts and peaches.
Yukari
The winners will get to enjoy the flavors of autumn. Well? Are you motivated now?
Shion
The flavors of autumn... *drool*
Joon
Shion! This is no time to be drooling!
Yukari
And as for the kitchen that we'll be using...
Yukari
I asked the oh-so-kind Scarlet Devil Mansion to lend their kitchen to us. And here are the judges for this showdown!
Remilia
A culinary showdown in mine own mansion is so very interesting! Go on and starteth forthwith!
Flandre
Kyahahaha! Feedeth me some delicious cake!
Yukari
The team that can please these judges the most will be the winner. Now let's begin this culinary showdown!
Hecatia
Desserts using the flavors of autumn, huh? Sounds simple, but it might actually be a much more complicated theme.
Shion
But fruits are delicious as is.
Hecatia
True, but we'll obviously lose if we serve them raw fruit.
Yukari
You seem to be worried. But we won't go easy on you. Nitori! Show them what you're capable of!
Nitori
Watch carefully! This is the power of kappa technology! Goooooo! Extendable arms!
Joon
Wh-What's that?! She's cooking with two metal arms?!
Yachie
Look! She's whipping cream, cutting fruits, and kneading dough all at once and with such speed and accuracy!
Yamame
I don't know if I'd be able to do the same if I used my arms... It's frustrating, but kappa technology is something else.
Hecatia
Hm... now I'm seriously worried. I mean, even if we make a cake on par with theirs, there's no guarantee we'll win...
Shion
Boss, I want you to do something for me. *whisper* *whisper*
Hecatia
Hmmm... I agree. Hehe, I think that's the best plan.
Joon
What are they whispering about?
Shion
OK, I'll start preparing it.
Yachie
They seem to have started making a normal cake...
Yamame
I hope they know what they're doing.
Let's believe in them!
I'm sure they'll win somehow!
Joon
You're right. I'm sure Shion will be fine. She's a beloved member of our gang, after all.
Yukari
Time's up! Cooking time is over!
Nitori
This is our masterpiece! The super perfect fruit cake! No matter what kind of cake you make, you can't beat this!
Remilia
It looks gorgeous! Excellent! Time to dig in! *nom* *nom* Th-This is incredibly delicious!
Flandre
Yummy...! Giveth me more!
Yukari
My, my, such impatient judges we have. This looks like a win for us even before the end of the tasting.
Hecatia
I wouldn't be so sure about that. We've also created the most sublime cake, after all.
Shion
Yes, I'd say we've outdone ourselves.
Yukari
This just looks like a very simple fruit tart. Hmmm, no matter how you look at it, the victory is ours.
Remilia
Hm... after partaking of that special cake, I think we need not even taste this one.
Flandre
And I'm so full already. But if I very much have to, I could take a bite―
Shion
No, it's OK. You don't need to force yourself to taste it. We're OK with losing this competition.
Yukari
Huh?! What do you mean?!
Shion
I made this cake for Joon and the others. I didn't do it for the competition.
Shion
Sorry, guys. I can't get back the reward that was taken from us, but please accept this as a reward for the mission instead.
Shion
Haha, but I guess this one cake won't be enough to compensate for all the efforts you guys put in...
Joon
No, not at all, Shion. This is the best reward ever. I couldn't be happier.
Yachie
I've never seen such a delicious-looking cake.
Yamame
Thank you, Shion! Thanks, Boss! We're the world's most fortunate phantom thieves!
Shion
Ehehe...
Hecatia
Getting all this appreciation like this is kinda embarrassing.
Yukari
Wh-Wh-Wh-Whaaaaaaaaaaat...?! This is unacceptable!
Yukari
This is my event! You can't just abandon it and do as you please!
Hecatia
Aren't you the one who forcibly dragged us into this? Stop bothering us now, or I'm not gonna let it slide.
Nitori
Um... Boss? Maybe we should stop now...
Yukari
*sob*... No! I cannot back down now! We're going to settle this with a battle of bullets!
Nitori
What?!
Yukari
How? How could I, the legendary phantom thief, lose?!
Hecatia
You didn't just lose the battle of bullets, y'know? I reckon you also lost the dessert-making competition.
Yukari
What?!
Farewell, Chivalrous Phantom Thieves
Yukari
What do you mean?! We won! No matter how you look at it.
Hecatia
Aw, geez. You still don't get it, do you? OK, then I'll explain why you lost.
Hecatia
Your cake was probably better looking and more delicious than ours.
Hecatia
But y'know what? That was all it was. Just a delicious and pretty-looking cake. Nothing more than a gimmick to win.
Yukari
Oh...
Shion
I'm not that great at cooking, but I put a lot of heart into this cake to make my friends happy.
Hecatia
The shape's a bit clumsy, and it's not baked to perfection, but she made this cake with love for her friends...
Joon Phantom Thieves
There's no other cake like it in the whole wide world! It's the best cake ever!
Hecatia
What would be a more suitable target for a phantom thief? A one-of-a-kind diamond or just some pretty imitation?
Yukari
Yes... you're right. That cake is worth much more than gold or jewels.
Yukari
I admit complete defeat. I'll return the rest of your reward that we stole.
Shion
Really?! Do I really get to eat as many autumn flavors as I want? Can we really have a lavish celebration for everyone?!
Joon
Calm down, Shion...
Yukari
Of course. And if you're OK with it, we'd also like to join you all in your celebration.
Hecatia
Well, we did have fun despite everything. 'Kay, then! Let's wipe the slate clean!
Yachie
Yeah, and I mean, we did defeat them in battles of bullets. So maybe I should show some mercy to Kurokoma.
Saki
Wh-What did you say?! Really, Kicchou?! Then fight me once more right here, right now!
Nitori
Now, now. We've worked everything out peacefully, so let's just take them up on their kind offer.
Byakuren
OK, then let me borrow this kitchen and make us something to eat. Fruits are not the only flavors of autumn, after all.
Yamame
I'll help too! I'm a pretty good chef! Even better than Nitori's arms!
Flandre
I haven't the faintest clue as to what's going on, but I assume everything is sorted now, yes?
Remilia
Then I'll order Sakuya and the others to prepare for the party! Tonight will be grand, flashy, and so incredibly magnificent!
Yukari
Wow, everyone has already forgotten about my competition. *sigh* And I wanted to finish with a sweeping victory.
But this is kind of nice.
The most important thing is that everyone's having fun!
Yukari
Heehee, you're right. Come, let's go help with the party preparations.
Yukari
Ah, I suppose I better say something to wrap up this story. Ahem...
Yukari
And then the Joon Phantom thieves and the Phantom Thief Association: Phantasm lived happily ever after.
Yukari
All's well that ends well.
Hecatia
No, it's not over yet!
Yukari
Eep! You scared me!
Hecatia
I saw everything, Yukari! I saw how you were having fun playing my Chivalrous Phantom Thief Princess!
Yukari
*sob*... I was just...
Hecatia
I can't believe you sneakily played a game that you confiscated! And you even went and changed the story!
Hecatia
But... it ended well, so it's all good, I guess. Maybe we can officially make it the alternate ending.
Yukari
Thank you. I won't fiddle with your world anymore.
Hecatia
Eh? Who said you couldn't? The whole point of this new tiny box is to allow anyone to freely make changes.
Hecatia
Listen... Why don't we work together next time... to create an even more interesting world?
Yukari
That's...! A brilliant idea!
*stare*
Yukari
A-Ahem. If it's a part of an experiment... I can give it some thought.
I'm witnessing the birth of the most ominous team!
I'm also looking forward to it.
Hecatia
Hehehe. I'm gonna give it my best to live up to your expectations!
