8 The bamboo forest of Eientei.
|
|
10 The bamboo in the forest grew quickly, causing it to constantly change.
Even one who knows it can get lost.
Past the bamboo maze, they stumbled upon a clearing,
wherein the moonlight shone down on a beautiful old estate.
|
|
14 The mansion was huge and ancient,
pretty much no one in Gensokyo knew of its existence.
|
|
17 Perhaps it was merely an illusionary deception?
|
|
21 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "Finding this old place was pretty fun, don'tcha think?"
|
|
24 <l$Alice:$12345678> "I swear, I never should have come with you."
|
|
27 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "Well, have fun getting lost trying to find your way back!"
|
|
30 <l$Alice:$12345678> "Alone, in *this* forest? You're not getting out."
|
|
33 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "Wow, seeing these ancient ruins, I feel like
<l$$12345678"> an archeologist at an excavation."
|
|
36 <l$Alice:$12345678> "So now we're grave robbers? Let's go home."
|
|
39 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "Let's go in.
<l$$12345678"> What fun do you expect to have out here?"
|
|
44 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "Whoa, hold it!"
|
|
47 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "Someone came out."
|
|
50 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "Of course I did, this is my home!
|
|
52 <l$$12345678"> What are you up to, sneaking in here like that?"
|
|
55 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "I just came to have a look. We're not going anywhere.
|
|
57 <l$$12345678"> I'm a witch most of the time, except when I'm an archeologist.
|
|
59 <l$$12345678"> I'm doing archeological work right now, so are
<l$$12345678"> you going to let us in or not?"
|
|
62 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "Hmph, even if you are an archeologist, I can't just let you in!
|
|
64 <l$$12345678"> Wait, if you're a witch, I don't see how you can be
<l$$12345678"> an archeologist too..."
|
|
67 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "Archeologist, grave robber, same thing."
|
|
70 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "Grave robber?!"
|
|
72 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "Go away! This isn't a tomb, anyway..."
|
|
75 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "Ah, correction, we're thieves."
|
|
78 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "Shut up."
|
|
81 <l$Alice:$12345678> "You shouldn't have said that, Marisa. Maybe something like
<l$$12345678"> 'We're here for our appointment' would have worked better."
|
|
85 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "It's fine, it's always like this."
|
|
88 <l$Alice:$12345678> "...No matter where, treated like this."
|
|
92 <l$Kaguya:$12345678> "Oh, we have guests?
<l$$12345678"> It's been ever so long since we've had company."
|
|
95 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "They're just thieves."
|
|
98 <l$Kaguya:$12345678> "Even thieves are a rarity here.
|
|
100 <l$$12345678"> Inaba, go fetch the four seasons tea and serve our guests."
|
|
103 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "You don't have to do all that."
|
|
106 <l$Alice:$12345678> "This thief is so self-important."
|
|
109 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "Are we really going to treat these people as if they're guests?"
|
|
112 <l$Kaguya:$12345678> "I've been in hiding for ages.
|
|
114 <l$$12345678"> But I never knew there were Earthlings
<l$$12345678"> that were as powerful as those on the Moon,
|
|
116 <l$$12345678"> So, I'd like to ask about Gensokyo."
|
|
119 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "It's a real nice place."
|
|
122 <l$Alice:$12345678> "Marisa, you just had to explain it briefly, hadn't you?"
|
|
125 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "This here's the person who swapped our moon for that fake one."
|
|
128 <l$Alice:$12345678> "Here youkai are rampant, in this carefree and pleasant place.
<l$$12345678"> Say, do you think we could continue this after we finish our tea?"
|
|
132 <l$Kaguya:$12345678> "Strange, isn't it?
|
|
134 <l$$12345678"> I *do* remember the Earth being populated by numerous youkai.
|
|
136 <l$$12345678"> However...
|
|
138 <l$$12345678"> I don't remember there being this many humans.
<l$$12345678"> When did the youkai stop feasting upon them?"
|
|
140 <l$Kaguya:$12345678> "It was such a constrained world..."
|
|
143 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "They didn't. Even now, can't tell who wants me for dinner."
|
|
146 <l$Alice:$12345678> "You're such a disgrace to your own race
<l$$12345678"> that I'd rather starve to death than eat you."
|
|
149 <l$Kaguya:$12345678> "It's quite interesting how humans and youkai interact.
|
|
151 <l$$12345678"> This little evening chat has been fascinating indeed."
|
|
154 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "Please don't forget that they're thieves."
|
|
157 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "I'm an archeologist!"
|
|
160 In fact, the waning moon wasn't the real one.
Now, the true full moon shines brightly upon Gensokyo,
bewitchingly restoring the land's power.
|
|
164 Kaguya and her entourage decided to stay in Gensokyo.
Within its protective barrier,
they were safe from any Lunarians pursuing her.
And with no need for a fake moon, the true moon was returned.
|
|
168 Those who came from the cosmos to Gensokyo were not outsiders.
instead, they were considered its inhabiants; Kaguya and the others
would quickly adapt to life in Gensokyo.
