In the Hakurei Shrine Kusa can be seen laying down without moving and doesn't want to move a single inch
Reimu: Marisa... why is Kusa very exhausted?
Marisa: She probably overheated and wants to drink some water but she can't be bothered to stand up so she decided to absorb some moisture from the air
Reimu: that's kind of a lengthy explanation normally you would just say 'she is just lazy'
Reimu: did something happen?
Marisa: N-Not at all...
Reimu looks at Marisa very intently and Marisa is trying her best to smile naturally but ends up smiling awkwardly
Reimu: I see...
Reimu walks away getting drinkable water for Kusa
Marisa: *phew* good thing she believed in me
Reimu grabs a wooden pitcher that is full of water and a wooden cup
Reimu: here Kusa drink some water
Kusa lethargically gets up and drinks the water
Kusa: More...
Reimu keeps refilling the cup until the pitcher is emptied and now Kusa is back at her optimised state
Kusa: thank you Reimu!!!
Reimu: it's not a problem at all, still how did you end up in that state?
Kusa: you could say that I either overestimate the amount of water that my body contains or underestimate someone's thirst
Reimu: hmm?
Kusa: just plain dehydration, this is my first time I got dehydration heck I didn't think I will be dehydrated
Reimu: I see... please take care of yourself more
Kusa: I will!
Kusa: don't think I will not deal with you Marisa so don't smile as nothing happened
Marisa scratches her head and looked guilty
Reimu finally pieced the fragments on the puzzle looked at Marisa with a weird look
Marisa seeing that can only laugh wryly

Mamizhou can be seen walking in the grasslands
Kusa: Surprise
When Kusa suddenly appears behind her and said that in her lowest voice possible
Mami: Ahh!!!
Kusa laughs seeing Mamizhou get surprised and dissapears
Mami: what just happened?

Yuuka is doing her everyday routine, walking around in flower fields and admiring them
When she saw an odd flower sticking in the field she tried to uproot it
Kusa: surprise-
Kusa got hit by Yuuka and got blew away
Yuuka: ah... It's just you Kusa
Kusa recovered instantly
Kusa: don't hit someone when they are trying to surprise you!!!
Yuuka: it isn't my fault that you are getting hit for being creepy...
Yuuka: are you that freedom to see me?
Kusa: aw... I'm busy too but I have time to spare to annoy- I mean to surprise you
Yuuka: I don't need it
Kusa: don't be a shy~
Yuuka: not at all
Kusa: well... I will keep accompanying you for a little bit
Yuuka: do what you like
Kusa: of course, this is what I like
It seemed Yuuka's mood become a bit uplifted when Kusa is around
But of course, some snarky remarks still happened until to the point of fighting but overall it's not bad
Kusa: Is that all you can do now?!!
Yuuka: of course not!
A giant beam has released from the both of them and fighting for dominance
--------------------------------------------------------------
When Mamizhou is going back toward the Temple
Kusa: Hello!!!
Mami: Uwaah!!!
Kusa: don't be so overdramatic
Mami: It isn't overdramatic!!! You can kill someone if you suddenly appear in nowhere!
Kusa: Really?!
Mami: yes
Kusa: I guess... I should be careful more
Mami: eh? Did you agree easily?
Kusa: I mean... I don't want to accidentally kill someone even the chances are really low
Kusa: Just because it's low doesn't mean it's impossible
Mami: I misjudged you
Kusa: Is that so?
Mami: yeah... I thought you are just a very chaotic bright person but in Actuality, you are chaotic and bright but also gentle and caring
Kusa: maybe... but I'm here to talk with you more
Mami: ohhh? You are interested in me?
Kusa: Yes! Especially you are in the outside world I want to hear from your perspective what it feels like
Mami: I guess I am free to talk to you
Kusa: thanks for letting me borrow your time
Mami: no problem at all I'm also curious about the very popular grass in Gensokyo
Kusa: hehe~

Inside Aya's house, her plant is suddenly glowing a greenish light
Aya: Hmm?
Kusa appears near the plant and the plant glows dimmed until it returns to its initial state
Aya: Kusa?
Kusa: of course It is I
Aya: That's new giving someone a heads up that you are coming unlike in the past where you just appeared out of nowhere
Kusa: well I changed somewhat
Kusa: By the way is the person who is engrossed with the paper your henchman?
Aya: Nope
Aya: she is Hatate Himekaidou a rival of some sort
It's A tengu with brown eyes and long brown hair in pigtails with purple ribbons. She wears a white shirt with purple trim on the collar and a thin black tie, a black band around one arm, a purple tokin, a skirt in black/purple checker pattern with a floral pattern on the purple, a small brown pouch on her hip, thigh-high black socks (which are rolled down just below her knees), and red geta sandals with burgundy-purple straps. She carries a camera, looking like a modern cell phone, with a yellow/dark yellow checker pattern, a heart on it, and a brush hanging from it like a charm.

Kusa: Rival, Business?
Aya: Yes!, unlike me she doesn't like to go outside to gather articles unlike me
Kusa: ehh... so it's her ability of some sort?
Aya: Yes, although I don't mind having someone accompanying me when I'm doing my work it's kind of hard these days finding you
Kusa: I can't blame you I always appear from one spot to another so it's really hard to keep track of me
Aya: I guess...
Kusa: But don't misunderstand I will keep appearing and annoy you
Aya: hahaha~ I'm immune to your antics Kusa!
Hatate: Um... can you tone it down
Aya: sorry... wait! This is my house!!!
Hatate: so?
Aya: you!!!
Kusa looks at the two that are going to start fighting and looks out to the windows
Kusa: I guess days like this will be treasured... because problems will arise
Kusa: I hope those problems are easy to solve
Kusa sighs In amusement
Kusa: I'll do what I can do to stop it but I want to be a spectator
Kusa: as long it won't destroy the world then I'll take it easy
The two are still going
Kusa: who wants some snacks I will make it
Aya|Hatate: Me!!!
