Strange Treasure Hunter Lopes around the Night |

Pipe, spinning top and snapping turtle... Why did she steal the funny stuff? |
|
At the dawn on X/X, an accident became clear by the report of a victim; a human sneaked out of nowhere and collected just funny things. |
|
The criminal snuck into the victim's house and tried to steal a tool called Bagualu, which is her precious object. Unfortunately, the victim hadn't fallen asleep yet, so the crime was out. |
|
The criminal was Izayoi Sakuya (human), the chief maid of Scarlet Devil Mansion which stands on the edge of a lake. |
|
When the victim inquired her, she had several funny things, so the victim felt suspicious and followed her to Scarlet Devil Mansion. The criminal made the excuse below. |
|
"These items are for the spell to go to the Moon. My Lady insisted that she wanted to go there before dawn, so I collected the materials required for it. I would return anything back to you when the sun rises." |
|
The day this accident happened, occured a big incident that extended the length of the night so that it was longer than usual; it made several accidents happen over and over again. The criminal's excuse seemed to be a bit unnatural because of her confusion. |
|
"A pipe is a substitute for a rocket; a spinning top is for a gyroscope. The blood of a snapping turtle works as a liquid fuel and it looks like one, doesn't it? Of course, Bagualu is a rocket engine... Still, I really have no idea what Armstrong meant." |
|
The criminal is a good reputable maid among the humans in Gensokyo, so her unnatural behavior was beyond conspicuous that day. Yet, she has a habit of gathering funny things like a flower of a bamboo, blue diamond, etc. I think it made her commit this strange accident. |
|
The victim, Kirisame Marisa (human), made her comment about this accident. |
|
"She's the irritable person; she took my things intentionally. Even though she said she would return them to me, I believe it's false." |
|
This time, the Bagualu was returned back to her safely, so the victim wouldn't investigate again. The criminal maid and the residents of Scarlet Devil Mansion also declined to comment. That's why their motivation and purpose ended up to be uncertain. |

Ah, may I have your name please? |

Please don't ignore me. I suppose you're involved not only in this accident but the Imperishable Night incident that day. |

Hmm. I stop time, but not the night. |
