8 Nighttime at the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
|
|
10 The real moon had at last returned to Gensokyo.
|
|
12 As it turned out, the fake moon had been nothing more than a paper toy,
|
|
14 while the real moon had been obscured by the distortion of madness
|
|
16 Naturally, the human eye could not see past such an illusion
The light reflected from the moon had been polarized, it's wave-length
altered to the point that it was no longer in the visible spectrum.
After time, though, this would drive those humans affected by it insane.
|
|
20 The invisible and silent nocturnal creatures were at an advantage.
|
|
22 Highly sensitive humans were affected worst of all, and went mad.
To get to the root of the madness, the person who controlled it
would have to be found, somewhere in Gensokyo...
|
|
26 The tranquil light of the full moon shone down on Gensokyo.
The black lake shone white in the moonlight, while the forest
formed a wreath of darkness around it.
The light from the lake sprayed across the ruby-tinted Scarlet Mansion.
|
|
32 Sakuya "Going to the moon...
|
|
34 Is this meeting even necessary?
As a matter of fact, weren't they exiled?"
|
|
37 Sakuya "Ah, but after being away from home for centuries,
what do you talk about?
Whatever was in vogue in the capital of the Moon has long gone
out of style by now.
|
|
40 And do you even think they like Gensokyo's trends?"
|
|
42 Sakuya "What do we do...
Earthlings, humans and youkai, we have nothing in common.
|
|
44 and after this is all over, what do we do then?"
|
|
46 ???? "Sweet."
|
|
50 Remilia "These three Japanese food trays are nice."
|
|
52 Sakuya "Sweet, yet subtle."
|
|
55 Remilia "Truth is, humans have already been to the moon.
The era of devils like us has already come to an end."
|
|
59 Sakuya "But I'm not a devil, am I? What about me?"
|
|
63 Remilia "You've been here with us for such a long time that it hardly
seems fitting to still call you human."
|
|
66 Sakuya "Are you saying that you would like another human servant?
|
|
68 It takes a lot of training to bring someone up for this position..."
|
|
71 Remilia "Hmm..."
|
|
73 Remilia "I see.
|
|
75 Well, let's leave for the moon now."
|
|
78 Sakuya "Eh? A trip to the moon? What for?"
|
|
81 Remilia "Rabbit hunting."
|
|
84 Sakuya "As you said, that era came to an end long ago."
|
|
87 Remilia "Quickly, then, make the preparations.
|
|
89 Oh, are you coming as well, Patchy?"
|
|
93 Patchy "..... It's not as simple as that.
|
|
95 My expertise may prove necessary."
|
|
98 Sakuya "Ah, you may be right."
|
|
101 Remilia "Are we ready to go yet?
|
|
103 I want this house immaculate before we leave."
|
|
106 Sakuya "This uniform isn't just for show, I'll have you know."
|
|
109 Remilia "Well, what do we need?"
|
|
112 Patchy "To start with......
|
|
114 we'd need a lightweight yet durable rocket engine."
|
|
117 Sakuya "Such a different world..."
|
|
120 Patchy "That is, something able to transmute something else into pure
energy for the purpose of propulsion."
|
|
123 Remilia "This could take some time, I see."
|
|
126 Sakuya "Is this for real?"
|
|
129 Remilia "I've heard Marisa mention something like that before."
|
|
132 Patchy "Of course... there's always liquid fuel."
|
|
135 Remilia "Blood?"
|
|
138 Sakuya "Yes, blood."
|
|
141 Patchy "Blood."
|
|
143 Patchy "Using blood..."
|
|
145 Sakuya "Uh, how much do you think would be necessary for this?"
|
|
148 Patchy "For this, I would say roughly a thousand's worth."
|
|
151 Remilia "They sure have made a lot of progress in the outside world.
So, what do we need next?"
|
|
154 Patchy "Next, we need... Armstrong."
|
|
157 Remilia "Sakuya, can you take care of that one, please?"
|
|
160 Sakuya "How can I get something when I don't even know what it is?
A strong arm...?"
|
|
163 Remilia "Well, do you want to go to the moon tonight or not?"
|
|
166 The moon had driven them mad.
|
|
168 They had absolutely no chance of going to the moon,
yet they wouldn't let go of the idea.
|
|
171 It was just not meant to be.
The madness brought forth from the capital of the moon...
The eyes of ordinary people could not see it.
For the real moon was nothing but an invisible full moon to them.
|
|
176 Through the crimson madness of the full moon, the shape of
a rabbit could still be seen.
Sakuya simply decided that everyone else had lost their mind
from staring at the moon too long.
