Plot

The annual Hakurei Shrine Grand Festival is coming up, and Reimu Hakurei and company are preparing the food for the festival, and orders Marisa Kirisame to protect the food from damage and thievery by youkai until the festival. While Marisa is guarding the food, she and Alice Margatroid run a pest control business to help fend off enemies.

The next day, Aya Shameimaru informs Reimu that a gigantic rabbit youkai from Makai attempted to eat the food and steal money from the donation box outside the shrine. Reimu suggests that it could've been Remilia Scarlet or Reisen Udongein Inaba, but Aya tells Reimu that it was an unidentified individual, as seen in an issue of the Bunbunmaru Newspaper.

Later, at the Youkai Mountain, Sanae Kochiya hears of this and suggests murdering the youkai. However, Yukari Yakumo persuades the rest of Gensoukyou to continue with the anti-youkai businesses, and against the threat.
