Every time a widespread supernatural incident involving youkai occurs in Gensokyo, shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei usually solves the dire situation by confronting the perpetrator. However, cases targeting specific people where culprits hide their identities are usually too delicate for the youkai exterminator to handle.
