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 one should reflect madness.
|
|
16 Normally, humans can't see such madness. However, the light reflected
from the moon was made out of madness-inducing wavelengths, with minimal
interference wavelengths. Pure madness sometimes is seen even by humans.
|
|
20 It is said that's why ghosts are seen only during night.
|
|
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 white of the lake was blacker than black, while the green of the forest
was darker than darkness. Only the mansion's red color became a more deeper shade.

32 <l$Sakuya:$12345678> "Going to the moon...
|
|
34 <l$$12345678"> Is this meeting even necessary?
<l$$12345678"> As a matter of fact, weren't they exiled?"
|
|
37 <l$Sakuya:$12345678> "Ah, but they were away for centuries. Is the Lunar
<l$$12345678"> Capital really so bad?
|
|
40 <l$$12345678"> Or maybe it's just that Gensokyo is so nice?"
|
|
42 <l$Sakuya:$12345678> "Well, whatever the case, it's not because of us, Earthlings and youkai.
|
|
44 <l$$12345678"> It's not like they can escape from here."
|
|
46 <l$????:$12345678> "How naive."
|
|
50 <l$Remilia:$12345678> "So naive and sweet, like the wasanbon sugar." (Wasanbon (和三盆) is a type of Japanese sugarcane sugar.)
|
|
52 <l$Sakuya:$12345678> "I am trying to control that."
|
|
55 <l$Remilia:$12345678> "Truth is, humans have already been to the moon.
<l$$12345678"> If we just laze around, they'll leave us behind in the dust."
|
|
59 <l$Sakuya:$12345678> "But I'm not a devil, am I? Also, really?"
|
|
63 <l$Remilia:$12345678> "Supposedly somebody from the outside world has already landed on the moon."
|
|
66 <l$Sakuya:$12345678> "Who would talk about something so suspicious?
|
|
68 <l$$12345678"> Wait, I can probably figure it out without you saying."
|
|
71 <l$Remilia:$12345678> "Hmm..."
|
|
73 <l$Remilia:$12345678> "Well then.
|
|
75 <l$$12345678"> Let's leave for the moon now."
|
|
78 <l$Sakuya:$12345678> "Eh? A trip to the moon? What for?"
|
|
81 <l$Remilia:$12345678> "Rabbit hunting."
|
|
84 <l$Sakuya:$12345678> "You said to not be behind the humans, but you
<l$$12345678"> also want to do something old fashioned."
|
|
87 <l$Remilia:$12345678> "Quickly, then, make the preparations.
|
|
89 <l$$12345678"> Wait, how do we even get there? Patchy?"
|
|
93 <l$Patchy:$12345678> "..... It's not that simple.
|
|
95 <l$$12345678"> We'll need a lot of things for this type of magic."
|
|
98 <l$Sakuya:$12345678> "Ah, you're serious about this."
|
|
101 <l$Remilia:$12345678> "If we need materials, we should be able to do it quickly, no?
|
|
103 <l$$12345678"> After all, we have somebody very talented."
|
|
106 <l$Sakuya:$12345678> "Let's learn how to say 'maid' properly."
|
|
109 <l$Remilia:$12345678> "Well, what do we need?"
|
|
112 <l$Patchy:$12345678> "To start with......
|
|
114 <l$$12345678"> we'd need a lightweight yet durable rocket engine."
|
|
117 <l$Sakuya:$12345678> "Such a different world..."
|
|
120 <l$Patchy:$12345678> "To put it simply, something that releases energy
<l$$12345678"> in a straight line."
|
|
123 <l$Remilia:$12345678> "That does ring a bell."
|
|
126 <l$Sakuya:$12345678> "So it's that for real?"
|
|
129 <l$Remilia:$12345678> "I've heard Marisa mention something like that before."
|
|
132 <l$Patchy:$12345678> "Of course... we also need liquid fuel."
|
|
135 <l$Remilia:$12345678> "Blood?"
|
|
138 <l$Sakuya:$12345678> "Yes, blood."
|
|
141 <l$Patchy:$12345678> "Blood."
|
|
143 <l$Patchy:$12345678> "Using blood..."
|
|
145 <l$Sakuya:$12345678> "Uh, how many things do you think would be necessary for this?"
|
|
148 <l$Patchy:$12345678> "For this, given the book, something like a thousand."
|
|
151 <l$Remilia:$12345678> "They sure have made a lot of progress with the magic in the outside world.
<l$$12345678"> So, what do we need next?"
|
|
154 <l$Patchy:$12345678> "Next, we need... Armstrong."
|
|
157 <l$Remilia:$12345678> "Sakuya, can you take care of that one, please?"
|
|
160 <l$Sakuya:$12345678> "How can I get something when I don't even know what it is?
<l$$12345678"> A strong arm...?"
|
|
163 <l$Remilia:$12345678> "Well, do you want to go to the moon tonight or not?"
|
|
166 The moon had driven them mad.
|
|
168 The devils did not seriously think that
the humans have genuinely landed on the moon.
|
|
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 full moon was not visible to them.
|
|
176 Sakuya thought she saw a rabbit with crimson eyes of madness in the moon.
Perhaps she just stared so much at it, that it hurt her eyes.

179 Good Ending No. 3
Thanks for playing! (The trial of guts lies ahead...)
