8 Muenzuka, a place where the nameless deceased sleep.
|
|
10 Nothing resembling a gravestone can be seen. At best, scattered about are stones
that are small enough to be carried with both hands.
|
|
13 That's about all there is to it, so there are hardly any visitors who come to mourn.
|
|
17 Aya "Looks like the flowers aren't returning to normal.
|
|
19 If I could write an article about these flowers, it'd say..."
|
|
21 Aya "The flowers bloomed because the outside world's spirits increased too much...
|
|
23 And they aren't returning to normal~
|
|
25 --Wait, that's not interesting at all. Rejected!"
|
|
27 Though she claims to write the truth, her content is prioritized based on how interesting it is.
|
|
29 In particular, she loves trivial news about the ordinary lives of Gensokyo's inhabitants.
|
|
31 She also has no shortage of anger coming from those who've had odd, interesting articles written of them.
|
|
35 Komachi "Are you here to commit suicide-- Oh wait,
|
|
37 You're that tengu from before.
|
|
39 What's going on? Are you here to commit suicide again?"
|
|
42 Aya "Didn't I tell you from the start that I wasn't going to commit suicide?"
|
|
44 Aya "The flowers don't really seem to be returning to normal.
|
|
46 --Or so I thought, so I came to collect information about it."
|
|
49 Komachi "Uhh, well... good luck with that."
|
|
51 Komachi "Lately, the amount of new spirits coming in has decreased,
so I think the amount of flowers will also lower soon."
|
|
55 Aya "How are things going?
|
|
57 Isn't there something different happening?"
|
|
60 Komachi "Something different?
|
|
62 I'm busy every day, so I don't have any time to be causing an incident..."
|
|
65 Aya "I see...
|
|
67 By the way, on a different subject..."
|
|
69 Aya "The other day, a certain someone showed me the calculation tables to
compute the width of the Sanzu River."
|
|
73 Komachi "What?
|
|
75 That isn't something that can really be measured..."
|
|
78 Aya "I was shocked at how incredibly complicated it was.
|
|
80 And how the width of the river changes with whatever amount the ferry is paid..."
|
|
83 Komachi "It isn't even that simple."
|
|
85 Komachi "I've been ferry boating for a long time,
|
|
87 But on the way, there's a foggy place where you can't see what's in front or behind you.
|
|
89 Couple the length of that place along with how the river flows, and it's just unpredictable."
|
|
92 Aya "That's why I said that it's a complicated system."
|
|
94 While they were having their silly chat, Aya realized that the grim reaper was already slacking off
right before her eyes, but she didn't say anything.
|
|
97 There was no use in fretting, since the number of ghosts wouldn't go down anytime soon.
|
|
99 In this case, it was best if the work could be reliably done without any mistakes.
|
|
101 She finally realized that if there was no incident worth writing an article about, then there
is no need to force herself to write an article.
|
|
104 If there is no news, then naturally there's no need to issue a newspaper.
|
|
106 Incidents are things that are better off not happening.
|
|
108 Just like the Yama said, she certainly felt that she was increasing the number of
heinous incidents by taking up the number of incidents to write about as she did.
|
|
111 So then, what was the purpose of a newspaper?
|
|
113 She thought about it a little, and realized that it was like the wind.
|
|
115 Congratulations! Ending No.11
