---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sagume Kishin, a celestial goddess hailing from the moon, becomes intrigued by Earth and decides to observe its wonders. She stumbles upon Utsuho Reiuji's nuclear power plant. Impressed by it's safety and quality, Sagume unwittingly utters words that trigger a catastrophic explosion within the plant.

Utsuho sees Sagume's involvement and, consumed by rage, attacks the once-peaceful Lunarian goddess. Aya Shameimaru, the sharp-eyed Tengu reporter, watches from a distance, her camera capturing every intense moment.

As Sagume engages in a fierce battle with Utsuho, Aya flutters at a safe distance. The goddess of misfortune, however, quickly senses the Tengu's presence and redirects attention toward her. Aya flees. Sagume, determined to maintain secrecy, pursues her.

The fate of Gensokyo hangs in the balance, waiting to unfold in the headlines of the Bunbunmaru newspaper. What happens when these formidable beings clash in the skies? Only time will tell.
