Autumn is the season of the year when the leafs cover the grounds with the colors of the evening...
Autumn is the season when the nature prepares for the cold winter...
Autumn is the season when a new god came to Gensokyo...

Hakurei Shrine
A calm morning in the Hakurei Shrine. At the entrance of the shrine, it can be seen the shrine maiden examining the donation box...
Name: Reimu Hakurei
Occupation: Shrine Maiden
Title: "Wonderful Laziest Shrine Maiden"
Reimu: --*sigh* Like always...nothing. I wonder why nobody comes to give some donations to the shrine.--
?????: --Maybe is because the shrine doesn't do anything for them.--
Suddenly, a girl with blond hair appears without previous warning
?????: --Don't feel bad, I'll make a donation.--
Name: Marisa Kirisame
Occupation: Witch
Title: "Ordinary thief-witch"
After that, the witch look in one of her pockets and take out something, throwing it into the box and making something like a prayer.
Surprised, the red-white maiden opens the box...
Reimu: --It's supposed that you must throw money, not garbage.--
Marisa: --That's not garbage.--
Reimu: --It's a stone, is garbage.--
Marisa: --It's a "Paperweight".--
Reimu: --"Paper-What"?--
Marisa: --That's what Kourin said, a paperweight.--
Reimu: --...Anyway, don't throw garbage in the box.--
Disappointed, the maiden take out the stone and throw it afar.
The maiden and the witch, with no many duties, decide to take a break and talk about whatever, until an unknown figure appears at the Shinto Gate.

Hakurei Shrine
Wearing oddly clothes, that person looks like it wasn't from Gensokyo (anyway, no one looks like is from Gensokyo), approaching little by little, is the figure of a woman what can be seen; at the time she arrives, the two girls that were "resting" realize the presence of the uncommonly visitor.
Marisa: --Hey; look, look!--
Reimu: --At last!--
Marisa: --Eh? Is coming here...--
After finishing a prayer in front of the donation box, the woman walks placidly in the direction of the shrine maiden.
?????: --I can see that you are the maiden of this shrine, is not it?--
Reimu: --Yes, I am.--
?????: --...--
Reimu: --?--
?????: --Now I understand why no one comes here.--
Reimu: --...Well, you came, so now you can't say that "no one" comes here.--
?????: --Compared to the Moriya Shrine, "no one" comes here.--
Marisa: --Moriya Shrine...So, there's another shrine?--
?????: --Yes, at the top of the Youkai Mountain, it is found the Moriya Shrine.--
Reimu: --And you are the maiden of that shrine?--
?????: --Oh no, no. I am the "goddess" of the shrine, my name is Kanako Yasaka.--
Reimu: --!--
Marisa: --!--
Kanako: --I came here to tell you that this shrine must disappear.--
Reimu: --And...Why?--
Kanako: --Why? Look at that old shrine, it is so old that the most minimum earthquake would make it fall down. Also "nobody", hear me, "nobody" come to this shrine; is logical that this shrine must disappear!--
Reimu: --Oh, and what are you going to do now?--
Kanako: --Right now, return and take a nap. You are warned maiden, Moriya Shrine is going to be the only shrine in all Gensokyo!--
After that, the "goddess" leaves having left the doubt of who she is and why she wants the Hakurei Shrine to close its doors.
Marisa: --Aren't you going to do something?--
Reimu: --Maybe.--
Maybe: --Maybe?--
Reimu: --Yeah maybe. Right now is the time to gather the donations.--
Marisa: --...I thought that moment was in the night.--
Reimu: --Yeah, that's too...
...
...
...This...--
Marisa: --What? What?--
Reimu: --Isn't this, one of those "Paperweight"?--
Marisa: --...No, that's a stone.--
September 12, 17:43
Youkai Mountain
Youkai Mountain, home of the Kappa and Tengu, and new home for a new shrine.
Reimu: --So, this is it...--
After a long trip, the lazy maiden arrives to the entrance of the shrine. By moments she felt intimidated only by seeing the facade of a "Pretty Shrine".
Reimu: --...*Stares*--
?????: --Good Day, can I help you?--
Reimu: --Ah!--
?????: --I, I'm sorry I didn't want to scare you, please forgive me.--
Reimu: --*Stares*--
?????: --...?...Is something wrong? I have something weird?
Reimu: --Eh? No! Is nothing, I was, only looking your clothes.--
?????: --Oh! That. I'm the maiden of this shrine, my name is Sanae Kotiya.
Name: Sanae Kotiya
Occupation: Wind Priestess/Shrine Maiden
Title: "Multipurpose Human of the Wind"
Sanae: --And I see that you're a maiden too, isn't it?--
Reimu: --Yeah, not so often you find a Shrine Maiden in Gensokyo.--
Sanae: --So, tell me, what can I do to help you?--
Reimu: --Oh that, yeah. You know, this morning a woman came to my shrine and
wanted to close it.--
Sanae: --Who would be the one that said that? It sounds like a very cruel person.--
Reimu: --She also said that her name was "Kanako Yasaka" and she's the goddess of this shrine.--
Sanae: --What? That's not true, everyone that come here to venerate the goddess, knows that her name is "Suwako Moriya"! That's why this is the "Moriya" Shrine.--
Reimu: --...Well, now that you mention it...you're right.--
Sanae: --Hey, tell me about your shr-Ah!--
The white-blue maiden accidentally slips...
Reimu: --Watch out!--
*Chick*
And falls...
Sanae: -- Ahhh, I fell! *sob* *sob*--
Reimu: --Take my hand.--
Sanae: --Thank you.--
Reimu: --You need to be more careful. Well I must go now.--
Sanae: --Come back whenever you want, maybe we can talk about something.--
Being more confused, the flying maiden decides to return to her shrine to go to bed.
September 12, 18:06
Moriya Shrine
Sanae: --...How was it?--
Kanako: --Better that I expected. You're a good actress, you know?--
Sanae: --Ha-ha! You make me blush!--
Kanako: --Tell me, you got the photograph?--
?????: --I promised you a photograph...and a photograph is what you got.--
Kanako: --Perfect; if what you tell me is the truth, this method is the most suitable for ruin that shrine maiden.--
?????: --For sure. That way, she'll look like the villain.--
Kanako: --Very well, let's begin the preparations.--
September 13, 0:22
Hakurei Shrine
That night...
?????: --Surround the shrine!--
Reimu: --!--
?????: --Now, go!--
Reimu: --What the..--
Some unknown subject entered the Hakurei Shrine giving no opportunity to the maiden to respond in time...
?????: --Stop Right There! Reimu Hakurei, you're under arrest!
Reimu: --What are you saying!? And what's the meaning of this! And how dare you to enter in my house, Komachi!--
Komachi: --Woah! Calm down, you know what they say: take it easy--
Name: Komachi Onozuka
Occupation: Shinigami
Title: "Ferryman of the Never-Ending River"
?????: --Please, excuse me Komachi, I will talk with her.--
Reimu: --...*gulp*...--
?????: --Hm?...What happened to your previous attitude?--
Reimu: --Well, it wasn't worthy of your presence, "Your honor".--
Name: Shikieiki Yamaxanadu
Occupation: Judge
Title: "Yama of the Paradise"
Shiki: --Reimu Hakurei, you have been accused by the next charges: To assault Sanae Kotiya in her own Shrine, insult the Goddess of the Shrine and finally, to have completely burned the Moriya Shrine.
Reimu: --What are you talking about? I didn't do anything of that!--
Shiki: --You will accompany us without resist; in the next days you will be judged to determine if you are innocent or not, depending of the results the Hakurei Shrine would be closed to the people and let the Moriya Shrine be the only one in Gensokyo. Is everything clear?--
Reimu: --This is insane! I can't allow you to come he...--
Komachi: --Answer the question!--
Shiki: --Please, do not make things more difficult, this place is surrounded by hundreds of agents, even the death cannot escape from us.--
Reimu: --...--
Shiki: --It is up to you, come with us or fight and lose.--
Reimu: --...Ok, I'll go with you.--
Shiki: --That is what I wanted to hear.--
And that's the way that the mystery of this autumn began, the season that make the leafs of the trees fall, not because they want it...it's because the wind makes them fall...
