Story & context
When it happened, it was just the same old, same old. I remember Marisa looking proud of herself as she held it, hot off the presses. She was like, "It's a new invention created by the magician trio representing Gensokyo! It's for a portable game console that you operate using Spirit Power! At the time I thought, wow, she must be really bored...and maybe she was. But when I turned it on, a wondrous scene unfolded before my eyes.
