"So, what are these recent incidents that you mentioned? Anything I should know?", Anon asks.

Marisa laughs loudly.

"Don't worry about it! It's just the usual: youkai attacks, mysterious disappearances, strange phenomena. There's nothing especially new happening ~ze."

Alice looks concerned.

"Well, Reimu thinks otherwise. She is especially suspicious, because this isn't like any of the other incidents."

"Other incidents?" asks Anon.

Alice simply nods as she explains.

"Incidents in Gensokyo are usually started by powerful beings. As such, the effect of these incidents becomes dead obvious within a short time. Once, we had a thick red mist cover the surface of Gensokyo, blocking out the sun. Another time, we had to deal someone who created a false moon. The incidents vary in form, but they tend to catch everyone's attention."

"And that's why I say that the lazy miko is just bored!," Marisa interrupts. "Recently, all we have are isolated cases all over Gensokyo. There isn't anything to worry about, ~ze!"

Alice frowns, but continues.

"Like she said, we have had several minor cases. There have been numerous youkai attacks around the Human Village lately. I've heard that even peaceful youkai are being attacked. There has also been an increase in the activity of evil spirits. Rumors say that they have started attacking in large, organized swarms, rather than individually. And of course, the mysterious disappearances; while humans going missing is common, we heard of a few elder youkai vanishing as well."

Marisa waves her hand dismissively. "They're probably just sneaking around, causing mischief as usual," she says.

"How about newcomers? Has anyone else from the Outside arrived?" Anon asks.

Both girls pause to think.

"I haven't heard of anyone really unusual arrive lately," Alice says.

"Outsiders aren't that rare though, I wouldn't be surprised if there would be a few more like you who arrived in the last couple of months," Marisa adds.

"I see," Anon manages. He is disappointed that there aren't any obvious leads.

For a moment, all three are silent, each deep into their own thoughts.

"I believe that the only incident we need to worry about is what happens if we leave our guest alone with Alice tonight, ~ze"
