>It's an average afternoon in Gensokyo, the Sun is high in the sky, the birds are singing their songs and the squirrels are looking for their nuts
>Reimu is cleaning the entrance of the shrine with a broom, waiting for Yukari and Marisa to drop by and have some tea
>Yukari arrives first at the correct time, bringing with her tea and many different sweet things to eat, as usual
>Marisa arrives second, five minutes late, bringing nothing with her, as usual
>They all sit on the ground at the usual spot, under the shadow of a tree
>Once all the sweets are laid out and the tea is ready, they start talking about what's on their minds
>"This song the birds are singing, it's quite beautiful, wouldn't you say?" says Yukari in her usual ladylike manner, with a soft smile on her face.
>"I stole this book from Alice the other day, thinking the cover was made of gold and I could sell it for a high price, but it turns out it's just brass. Man, I'm so disappointed!" says Marisa, slightly angry about this unfortunate turn of event
>Then suddenly and without warning, the birds, who had been happily singing since dawn, become silent, and their song is replaced by an odd and displeasing sound, not unlike that of a starving dog eating red meat for the first time in two weeks
>This noise, although sudden and out of place, isn't a surprise to Yukari and Marisa, who are by now very used to it
>They both look at the source of this noise, which is only a few centimeters away from them
>This source is Reimu, frenetically eating a slice of watermelon, completely oblivious to her surroundings
>"Mghaa, this watermelon's so good! It's the greatest thing ever!", she says, with what would be a smile on her face, if her mouth wasn't full. "Thank you for always bringing tasty stuff with you, Yukari!", she adds
>"Aaah, it's nothing. I'm glad you like it so much.", Yukari replies, with an embarrassment that is obvious to anyone who understands the true meaning of those words
