Touhou Reiiden: Highly Responsive to Prayers
Once upon a time, there was a place called Gensoukyou.

Two races ruled Gensoukyou: humanoids and youkai.

One day, a war broke out between the two races.

After a long battle, the humanoids were unsuccessful, as the youkai took over Gensoukyou.

Gensoukyou, 1686 AD

During the war, a shrine known as the Hakurei Shrine was destroyed.

In there, a girl named Reimu Hakurei must stop the war once and for all.

She quickly ascends into the Netherworld to punish the culprit.

Legends say that those who enter the Netherworld can't come back until they defeat its ruler.

Touhou 2: The Story of Eastern Wonderland
Gensoukyou, 1687 AD

A year has passed since Reimu's triumphant battle with Asriel and Konngara.

As of today, Reimu is enjoying her time at the shrine.

When suddenly, a group of youkai come to the shrine, uninvited.

Unable to shoo off the youkai, Reimu gets her koopa troopa Genjii to help with this.

Using two of her yin-yang orbs, she and Genjii take off for adventure.

However, Reimu's seal on Mima has worn off, and Mima has been freed from her prison Reimu laid on her.
