It was a calm and pleasant afternoon in Gensokyo.



Reimu, with energy-saving mode on for reducing food consumption,



was enjoying her daydreaming of striking it rich.



Suddenly,



a strong shock woke her up.



But the shock was as nothing compared to getting rich,



So our red-and-white miko chose to continue dreaming...



...until the familiar scarlet mist appeared again.



She couldn't bear it anymore.



You really shouldn't insult a miko who considers money as everything.



"Today I will surely knock her socks off, literally."



The angry miko set out again.

Reimu: Ahhh...such a nice sleep



It is always satisfying to take a nap after such a rarely fulfilling meal.



Um? Wait...why was I sleeping in the front yard?



I remembered to put away my clothes and with my quilt covered...



Did I sleepwalk?



Hm? Is that... the scarlet mist...?



The same incident again?... I really shouldn't spare my rod and spoil her.



Just take it as exercise... Finish it quickly and end this mess.




Reimu: Why are you here?



Flandre(?): Ahh?? Human?



Why did you react like that? Although not so familiar, we have met for some times, right?



I, I don't know who you are...(trembling)



Well, never mind if you know who I am or not.



But it is too dangerous for someone like you to be wandering outdoors.



Though quite bothering, it is better to imprison you.



Hu...Human...are you going to imprison me into a jar?



No...Please don't...!!



Defeated...so easily?



Is she so weak now, or I am too powerful?



Hey, wake up... later your butt will catch fire when the sun comes out.



...well, I'll just call her guardian to take her back later.





Marisa: Reimu!!



Reimu: Marisa? How come you are staying here?



I don't know either!



I was just napping after lunch as usual, when I woke up I was tied here!



After a nap...right?



Be careful, Reimu! This scarlet mist seems not the usual one!



I see. It seems that not only the mist is unusual.



Let me go with you!

Patchouli(?): This body is light, and fulfilled with magic. So comfortable~



Reimu: Once again, her mind seems not to match her body.



Hm? Who are you? Ah, smells like human.



Same as the girl I just met before, with a complete unmatched mind and body.



But from the veil of darkness and such a simple mind,



I have somehow understood... Anyway, just beat her up first.



What an arrogant human! I'll eat you right away!





AHHHH~How could a human being be so powerful!... Don't eat me!



One body with another soul. I totally understood.



Hey, Rumia.



Hm? Why do you know my name?



When did you find you are in another body?



Emmm... not so long before.



I was just wandering and singing as usual, and then I was unconscious. After i woke up I became like this.



The origin of the incident is still that place.




Remilia(?): HAHAHAHA! With this power---



Reimu: That is... no, that also should be someone else.



How dare you come into atai's funfair, human!



So it's you...there's nothing to worry about now.



Such a human dare looking down on atai!?



Didn't you see I have got this INCREDIBLE BODY now! This is the REAL STRONGEST BODY!



The only place you can be so arrogant is in this mist.




Remilia·⑨: Atai...atai have been lost? ! Even with this strongest body!



Reimu: Hey you, when did you turn into this style?



Atai? Atai seem to hear a noise when napping...



Noise... right?



And then I woke up in a luxurious room, with body changed.



I ran away like this.



I got it. At least again I confirmed that the problem is in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. I should hurry up.



And you, find a place where cannot be exposed to sunlight. Stay there and don't get out.



That body will instantly turn into ash under the sunlight.



I, is that so? You must be kidding!



You better listen to me.

Patchouli(?): This body is light, and fulfilled with magic. So comfortable~



Marisa: Patchouli? !...Hey! Over here!



Hm? Who are you? Ah, smells like human.



You can't even remember me? I am...



Reimu: Once again, her mind seems not match her body.



Really?



Same as the girl I just met before, a complete unmatched mind and body.



So this one in front is...



But from the veil of darkness generated from her and such a simple mind and behavior,



Can you somehow understand something?



My head cannot process these!



Anyway, take her down first!



I am just hungry at this time! I'll take you as snack then!



AHHHH~How could human beings be so powerful!... Don't eat me!



Although with Patchouli's body, the mind is obviously that baka.



One body with another soul. It should be that case.



Hey, Rumia.



Patchouli·Rumia: Hm? Are you calling me?



She is really responding?



When did you find you are in another body?



Emmm... not so long before.



I was just wandering and singing as usual, and then I was unconscious. After i woke up I became like this.



Did the mist also occur at that time?



Seems to be. When I woke up I was in a big red house, and the body was also not mine.



But this body is so light and comfortable, and filled with magic power. I feel so much fun...



The origin of the incident is still that place.



But isn't Patchouli's body rather weak? She may suffer from asthma even from walking several steps...



That weakness comes from mindset.



Remember when Oni and Celestials came? She could still fight back.



What you said actually makes some sense.



Remilia(?): HAHAHAHA! With this power---



Reimu: That is... no, that also should be someone else.



How dare you come into atai's funfair, human!



Atai? With this pet phrase it is 100Billion% that baka.



Yeah, so there's nothing to worry about now.



Remilia·⑨: Such human beings dare looking down on atai!?



Didn't you see I have got this INCREDIBLE BODY now! This is the REAL STRONGEST BODY!



Your body would instantly become ash without this mist.




Atai...atai have been lost? ! Even with this strongest body!



With such a ⑨'s soul, even the strongest body would perform like this.



Hey you, when did you turn into this style?



Atai? Atai seem to hear a noise when napping...



And then I woke up in a luxurious room, with body changed.



I ran away like this.



The Scarlets would all be mourning now should the mist didn't exist.



At least again we confirmed that the problem is in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Let's hurry up.



Hey you, find a place where cannot be exposed to sunlight.



W, why?!



That body belongs to a vampire. It will turn into ash when exposed to the sun.



Find a hideout from sunlight before everything comes back to normal.



Is that so... until when should I be hiding?



Not for so long. But before that, do not come out.

Daiyousei(?): HAHAHAHA!! I am so happy now!!!!



Finally I am able to be wandering outside now!!!



...With such strong power...



I definitely should not let her go.



Dai·Flandre: Who is that? Are you going to play with me together?



Actually no. I am the one who is to take you back before you cause any catastrophe.



NO!!!! I have JUST got this body which doesn't fear sunlight, along with water!!!



If you dare stop me...I will tear you up!!





All right, now can you behave yourself and go back, the younger sister of Scarlet?



NO! I haven't had it enough!!



I have no idea on how to deal with this.



Maybe just knock her out first and let her guardian take her back later.




Koakuma(?): Halt! You cannot move forward!



...Ah! It's you!



Since you know me, you should know the consequence of blocking my way, don't you?



Still, no trespassing! The only way to pass under my eyes is to defeat me!



Geez, it is so bothering to deal with such a one-track mind. I really should make a detour before.




Aku·Meiling: Whoa---- still I have been defeated. What a professional youkai exterminator.



I have tried my best. It should be okay then.



By the way, what on earth is happening in the Scarlet Devil Mansion?



I am not sure either, but it happened all of a sudden----



We all seem to become inside others' bodies.



Now I will go inside. You'll not trouble me again, right?



Quickly go and deal with it. Current body feels so uncomfortable for me.

HAHAHAHA!! I am so happy now!!!!



Finally I am able to be wandering outside freely now!!!



...With such strong power... No one should be more familiar with it than you.



Yeah, it should be nobody else but her.



Flan? Is that you?



Marisa? Is Marisa there? Are you going to play with me?



Look! Now my body doesn't fear moving water and sunlight anymore!



What makes you come up here? Where is Remilia?



Sister has become an idiot now, and the magician is also gone~



So I just walked away through the front gate!



Looks like the Scarlet Devil Mansion is really in chaos currently.



But we cannot leave her wandering outdoors alone. We must take her down at this place.



That's right.



Okay, I will play danmaku game with you, Flan. But if you lose, you must listen to us and go home.



Great! But I won't lose anyway!




Okay, you have lost. As we said before, go back to Scarlet Devil Mansion with me.



NO! I have just tried so hard to take the chance of getting out! (Crying)



...I can't deal with this. It's on you.



Flan, listen to me,



It's pretty dangerous outside now. I'll play with you when we are back to the mansion, okay?



NO! I am not going!



Flan, if you go with me now, I will stay with you for all tonight, is that okay?



Really?! Can I go to bed cuddling Marisa tonight?!



Yes, you can.



OK! I will go with you! Let's go back home now!



Come, hold my hand~(Knocked Flan out(?))



...surely, someday you will go to hell for what you have done.




Halt! You cannot move forward!



...Ah! You again!



Since you know us, then get out of our way.



Judging from her pose and tone, it figures that it should be "that" person.



Whatever, no trespassing! As long as I am the gatekeeper,



the only way to pass under my eyes is to defeat me!



Does that mean, if not seen by you, anyone can slip in as they wish?



I have always been sneaking in like that.




Whoa---- still I have been defeated.



I have tried my best. It should be okay then.



You are troubling us just because you fear being scolded by Remilia, obviously.



It's not the matter of mistress, it is the matter of the chief maid...



By the way, what on earth is happening in the Scarlet Devil Mansion?



I am not sure either, but it happened all of a sudden----



We all seem to become inside others' bodies.



Was that after a "boom"?



Yeah, there seemed to be an explosion.



Now we will go inside. You'll not trouble us again, right?



Better to say that, I am hoping that you can get in and finish it quickly.



This body lacks exercise so much. Still my own one is better.

Damn, meeting the one-track-minded maid here.



Izayoi(?): Ah! That red-and-white miko! Don't come!



Looks like the one in that body isn't someone so powerful.




Awawawawa... Patchouli sama...



Thank goodness it is really not someone so strong in the body.



But is there anyone so weak like that in the Scarlet Devil Mansion?



Izayoi Koakuma: I, I am Koakuma!



Who is Koakuma then? Never heard of it.



(Crying)



But your weakness didn't cost my effort so much. Appreciate that.



It should be Remi's room ahead.

Damn, meeting the one-track-minded maid here.



God bless, the one in that body won't be troublesome.



Izayoi(?): Ah! It's you! Don't come!



Looks like the one in that body isn't someone so powerful.



Bingo DA★ZE~





Awawawawa... Patchouli sama...



Thank goodness it is really not someone so strong in the body. She didn't cost us so much effort.



But who is in her body actually? I completely have no idea.



I can't remember either. Is there someone like that in the Scarlet Devil Mansion?



Izayoi Koakuma: I, I am Koakuma!



Koakuma?



Who is that?



(Crying)



Seems that she's just someone who cannot be of any help.



Ahead is Remi's place. Let's go.

Still cannot find the red key after sweeping all of the library. It should not be in the library, so where is it on earth?
-----Housemaid Yousei

Hong Meiling(?): I have expected you are about to come here now.



The gatekeeper? No, the atmosphere is so different.



Is that the chief maid?



Hong·Sakuya: Nice sense, although your reaction was a little bit slow.



Can't you supervise your master to behave herself?



I also don't want to come here so frequently. It is pretty annoying.



The incident was nothing related to the mistress. She is more than a victim.



But for this scarlet mist, she can't escape the responsibility, can she?



...for this, she is really somehow in charge of.



But as a servant, it is an omission for me to let you go so easily.



At least, I will consume you a BOMB.



I think you are all only finding excuses for fighting.



Just simply let me go and all should have been handled right now.





Still as powerful as that. Now I can assure myself.



You are always like that, cannot settle things without a fight. Really a bunch of trouble.



After all... the mistress is a little bit out of control currently.



You possibly cannot take her down if you are not at your best.



What's the meaning?



You will know when you meet her.



She is not so far ahead, but when you meet her, DO NOT provoke or taunt her.



I cannot promise you that.



Well, what's next is all count on you.



I will deal with the aftermath. Please give it your best shot.

Hong Meiling(?): Again, those two uninvited rats.



With such a cold attitude it is definitely that chief maid.



Hong·Sakuya: Nice catch, for your instant sense.



If you don't wish us to come, then supervise your master to behave herself.



Yeah, don't trouble us every time. I am very busy as well.



When the mistress gets any thought of incidents,



no matter if it is for good or evil, I will 100% support her idea. That is a genuine servant.



I really don't know if I should call you an over-excellent or a completely hard-headed.



I see. So you are ready for a good pounding together, isn't it?



That depends on if you are really capable.





This combination of body and mind from two fighters is quite challenging.



Shall we pass by now?



However, the mistress is a little bit out of control currently. Be more careful.



It seems that the mistress herself is also the victim.



What's the meaning? Shot herself in the foot?



For this... you will understand when you meet her.



Anyway, no matter what reason, at least let her stop the scarlet mist first.



The mistress is going to make a fuss. Please give it your best shot.



I will take care of the aftermath. Assure yourselves.

Cirno(?): ...Ahhh...It's all over...



My life... all finished...



Remi? Are you there?



Ahhh...all screwed...



Remi??



Totally screwed now...such an awful looking...



No matter who you are... seeing this appearance... ALL GO DIE!!





Cirno·Remilia: WRAAAAAAAAAAA----------------------------------



Never known that you could cry so loudly. Please stop!



MY LIFE, IS ALL SCREWED!!!



What is going on actually? Can you say it clearly?



My own body has been taken out by an idiot!



What is more, that idiot is doing everything stupid with my body!



Everyone is watching the owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion behaving like that! I have no face to live on now!!!!!



But the scarlet mist was released by you, right?



Think about it! That idiot just took my body and ran away!



If exposed to the sunlight, my body will completely be destroyed!



So this time I released the mist only to protect myself!



I understand. What a poor mistress you are.



But the incident of the swap of body and soul seems not related to you.



In that case, won't it be all for nothing to do so?



Wait! Patche! Patche may know something!



The nerd in the library?



When it comes to her, I really haven't met her since the departure.



Does that mean...





Lumia(?): Finally, you have come here.



Who are you then?



Rumia·Knowledge: I am the nerd you have said before.



Now I got it. At last you are actually in this body.



That's it. You are the one who is behind the scene.



So, could you please STOP IT? Now the situation is completely in chaos.



Indeed, it is messier than I think and far away from my initial objective.



Initial objective?



I intended to perform the experiment of swapping bodies and trying different ones to cure my asthma.



However, the results proved that in fact the weakness doesn't come from the physical body. It is more related to spirit.



As you see, I am still as weak as usual. It is completely a waste of time. I give up.



So, can you stop this incident at once?



I have devoted so much to getting these outputs. Stopping it now sounds pitiful to me.



Do me a favor, perform a danmaku battle with me, and let me collect some data. Is that okay?



Well, I should have known that the pen is never mightier than the sword.



Come on, let's go. That body is not tough at all. Finishing you is like a piece of cake.



Hahaha! You underestimated this body! Her darkness could absorb your bullets----



And return with duplicated fire!



If collected all 3 keys:
(To EX stage->)


Mukyu!



It's all ended. Have you had enough now?



Stop the experiment and turn everything back to normal immediately.



Emm...okay. Anyway, I have collected enough amount of data currently.



I give, I give up!



All right, next...



Whoa! What? Why are you tying me up?!



Someone, anyone, HELP ME! >Δ<

(To ending 01->)

Cirno(?): ...Ahhh...It's all over...



My life... all finished...



Remi? Are you there?



Ahhh...all screwed...



Oh no. Perhaps this is the worst combination ever.



That mistress, happens to be in a stupid's body.



Do not be so reckless even at the beginning, will you?



YOU...! I will TEAR YOU APART RIGHT NOW!





Cirno·Remilia: WRAAAAAAAAAAA----------------------------------



Wait, can she actually cry out so loudly?



MY LIFE, ALL SCREWED!!!



What is going on actually?



My own body has been taken out by an idiot!



What is more, that idiot is doing everything stupid with my body!



Everyone is watching the owner of the Scarlet Devil Mansion behaving like that! I have no face to live on now!!!!!



So, the incident of the swap of body and soul is not related to you, is that correct?



But the scarlet mist was released by you, right?



Think about it! That idiot just took my body and ran away!



If exposed to the sunlight, my body will completely be destroyed!



So this time I released the mist only to protect myself!



...so that's the case. Don't worry, that idiot currently in your body has been defeated by us.



Obviously, if not controlled by yourself, it will perform like a noob.



Although I think you are a poor mistress now...



We still haven't found the real origin of this incident.



To be honest, currently I have somehow acknowledged something.



You have known who is the one behind the scene?



Think about it. Until we have reached here,



there is one person who should appear rather earlier, but hasn't shown her face.



You mean...





Rumia(?): This time... looks like the whole thing can't be hidden anymore.



Just as what I have thought of.



The mastermind is you, Patchouli.



Rumia·Patchouli: Long time no see, Marisa. Being seen with this style is somewhat embarrassing for me.



That's it. You are the one who is behind the scene.



So, could you please STOP IT? Now the situation is completely a mess.



Indeed, it is messier than I think and far away from my initial objective.



Initial objective?



I intended to perform the experiment of swapping bodies and trying different ones to cure my asthma.



However, the results proved that in fact the weakness doesn't come from the physical body. It is more related to spirit.



As you see, I am still as weak as usual. It is completely a waste of time. I give up.



So, can you stop this incident at once?



I don't think it would be that easy.



Yeah, I have already gone to all the trouble. Stopping it now sounds pitiful to me.



I still need some data to collect.



So, do me a favor, perform a danmaku battle with me.



I should have known that you will not be obedient.



Well, then come.



Do not underestimate this body! Her darkness could absorb your bullets----



And return with duplicated fire!

If collected all 3 keys:
(To EX stage->)


Mukyu!



Hahaha! Nailed it DA⭐ZE!



That's enough. Now can you end this frustrating experiment?



Emm...okay. Anyway, I have collected enough amount of data currently.



I give, I give up!



All right, next...



Whoa! What? Why are you tying me up?!



You have had enough. But in the following days, reflect on yourself, attentively!



Marisa! MARISA! Save me!



Hahahaha, when Reimu is irritated, even I cannot persuade her.



Someone, anyone, HELP ME! >Δ<

(To ending 02->)

Mukyu!


That's enough. Now can you end this frustrating experiment?



Whoa...still, I haven't lost.



I still have one final evaluation to perform!



The devouring darkness, cover me!



(Darkness gathered around Patchouli and covered everything)



Ah, freeze!



(Darkness gradually faded away)



Do not think I only pursue with my eyes.



You must have fled to the library! My ultra intuition has caught your trace!

(To extra stage->)


Flandre(?): You are pretty fast. I have just adapted to this body.



Ah----looks like you have turned into someone who is ultimately tough to deal with.



Flandre·Knowledge: Since the success of swapping bodies, I am always wondering,



as a magician, when my strongest mind is fused with the most powerful body of Flandre's---



how much combat effectiveness should it eventually be?



I have expected to enter Flan's body since the beginning,



but I sneezed during the critical moment, causing the magic to be out of control,



after taking so many detours, I am frustrated as well...



Don't perform such a dangerous experiment with such poor health!



I don't wanna die suddenly someday just because your weird experiments.



Anyway, the only way to perfectly solve this incident is to defeat you, isn't it?



No matter whether I win or lose in this final battle, it will be the evaluation result I expected.



So, I have been fooled since the beginning?



You quick-witted are so irritating.


If you defeated Patchouli normally:
(To ending 03->)

Easter egg ending:
(To ending 05->)

Mukyu!



Hahaha! Nailed it DA⭐ZE!



That's enough. Now can you end this frustrating experiment?



Whoa...still, I haven't lost.



I still have one final evaluation to perform!



The devouring darkness, cover me!



(Darkness gathered around Patchouli and covered everything)



Oh, no, she is running away!



She is still hiding any trump card?!



(Darkness gradually faded away)



Ah man, she has fled away. What should we do...



I can't see her now, but I can still feel her move...



It's the library! Let's go!


(To extra stage->)



Flandre(?): You are pretty fast. I have just adapted to this body.



Flan? Patchouli! What have you done to Flan?



Ah----looks like you have turned into someone who is ultimately tough to deal with.



Flandre·Knowledge: Since the success of swapping bodies, I am always wondering,



as a magician, when my strongest mind is fused with the most powerful body of Flandre's---



how much combat effectiveness should it eventually be?



I have expected to enter Flan's body since the beginning,



but I sneezed during the critical moment, causing the magic to be out of control,



after taking so many detours, I am frustrated as well...



Don't perform such a dangerous experiment with such poor health!



I don't wanna die suddenly someday just because your weird experiments.



That's too much, Patchouli! What will happen to Flan then?



She will be okay. When I fully experience her body, I will send it back.



So, the only way to perfectly solve this incident



is to completely knock out your so-called best combination, isn't it?



No matter whether I win or lose in this final battle, it will be the evaluation result I expected.



So from the consequence, does that mean we have been fooled since the beginning?



You quick-witted are so irritating.



Patchouli! Even I can't forgive you either this time!



Later you MUST reflect on yourself, attentively!


If you defeated Patchouli normally:
(To ending 04->)

Easter egg ending:
(To ending 06->)

(If completed with Marisa, then the ending will be with Marisa. Otherwise, it is Reimu only.)
After a series of farce-like fights, the two ringleaders were brought to justice.



It is said that they were suspended at the gate of Scarlet Devil Mansion for three whole days.



The residents of SDM delivered food and drink these days, but no one dared save them.



During this time, the scarlet mist faded away, and every soul had returned to its corresponding body.



Someone felt relief from the solution, while some were still not resigned.



And of course, there was someone who didn't recognize the occurrence and the ending of the incident at all.



Everything had returned to peace. And Hakurei Shrine had got back into the swing of things.



However, the miko/ the miko and the magician were feeling that, there was something important they forgot to do.



Ending 01 --Please explore the game more next time!



Ending 02 --This is still not the true end of the story!

After a series of farce-like fights, the true ringleader was brought to justice.



It is said that she was suspended at the gate of Scarlet Devil Mansion for seven whole days.



The residents of SDM delivered food and drink these days, but no one dared save her.

Everything had returned to peace. And Hakurei Shrine had got back into the swing of things.



(Reimu only)Although the incident was solved, one person really didn't appear from start to finish!



Ending 03 --Try again and find more interesting stuff!



(With Marisa)The incident was solved perfectly. Really hope that this time peace will last longer!



Ending 04 --Well done! Have a cup of tea and enjoy the scenery!

The power gathered by Patchouli was so much and finally out of control.



No surprise, the Scarlet Devil Mansion eventually collapsed.



There is no way to change it. This is the designated fate of the historical building, the Scarlet Devil Mansion.



After a series of farce-like fights, the ringleader was eventually brought to justice.



It is said that she was suspended at the gate of Scarlet Devil Mansion for half a month.



The residents of SDM delivered food and drink these days, but no one dared save her.

Ending 06 --You have perfectly completed this game! Try sharing it with your friends!
