8The Netherworld. A place where humans live after death, waiting for the next life.
|
|
|
10Gensokyo was still in full bloom, but in Netherworld the season of the cherry blossoms had already passed.
|
|
|
12Preparations for summer have already begun.
|
|
|
14The feeling of vitality in this current incident had not reached the Netherworld.
|
|
|
17Yuyuko "Youmu, are you pretending to be cleaning~?"
|
|
|
20Youmu "Ah, Lady Yuyuko.
|
|
|
22I'm not pretending. I really am cleaning."
|
|
|
24Yuyuko "I heard about you. That Gensokyo was filled with flowers and you went in
|
|
|
26and tried to keep it all to yourself as a secret from me?"
|
|
|
28Youmu "I don't understand what you mean by trying to keep it all to myself.
You were the one who told me about it in the first place."
|
|
|
31Youmu "But, I am certain that the flowers in Gensokyo...
|
|
|
33Have been caused by an incident.
|
|
|
35It's just the situation was already something that couldn't be helped."
|
|
|
37Youmu "If you're going flower viewing, then by all means, let's go together."
|
|
|
39Yuyuko "I'll go myself~."
|
|
|
41Youmu "No, you mustn't."
|
|
|
43Yuyuko "Ah yes, I heard another thing.
|
|
|
45Youmu... You got scolded by the Yama, didn't you?"
|
|
|
48Youmu "How did you know about that?"
|
|
|
50Yuyuko "I heard directly from her."
|
|
|
52Youmu "Oh. Well, she did tell me not to cut down so many phantoms..."
|
|
|
54Yuyuko "Well besides that,
|
|
|
56She was pushing me to teach you more."
|
|
|
58Youmu "Huh? W-what kind of teaching?"
|
|
|
60Yuyuko "More, uhh... It's easier said than done...
|
|
|
62I've never really taught you anything either...
|
|
|
64Well first of all, let's start with teaching you how to pour some delicious tea."
|
|
|
66Youmu "Did the Yama really tell you to do something like this...?"
|
|
|
68Yuyuko "I've got to teach you how to keep an open mind.
|
|
|
70After all, even if I talk to you what the Netherworld is or what a phantom is,
|
|
|
72you wouldn't completely understand, would you?"
|
|
|
74Youmu "No, I don't think I would."
|
|
|
76Yuyuko "However, do try to remember what you've known so far."
|
|
|
78Youmu "Huh?"
|
|
|
80Yuyuko "About how you wouldn't cut down the phantoms in Gensokyo with your sword."
|
|
|
82Youmu "What? Oh that..."
|
|
|
84Yuyuko "After all, wouldn't that be a waste of your sword?"
|
|
|
86Youmu "Well, it wouldn't reduce my sword...
|
|
|
88But I will at least remember that very well."
|
|
|
91The Netherworld is a place for souls to stay temporarily when they can't reach nirvana.
|
|
|
93Souls which can't achieve this peaceful death are those who have left behind regrets or doubts.
|
|
|
95The Yama decides what world a soul goes in its afterlife, according to the weight of its sins.
|
|
|
97Whether it goes to hell, heaven, or the Netherworld...
|
|
|
99Youmu would abruptly cut off all of that from souls. That is, she'd bring them to nirvana.
|
|
|
101In other words, if a ghost were to be cut down by her sword,
before it gets judged by the Yama, then even one that embraces sin could end up in heaven.
|
|
|
104That is why she was told that it'd be better to not cut down the phantoms still in world of living.
|
|
|
106The Yama said that the flowers were phantoms from the outside world.
|
|
|
108The mistress had been told to make sure the phantoms would not be cut down, which meant...
|
|
|
110Youmu had gotten the message telling her to leave this flower incident alone.
|
|
|
112The flowers of Gensokyo still continued to bloom.
|
|
|
114She stopped trying to return the flowers to normal and believed that she could freely go
flower viewing with the mistress. This time, as a being of the Netherworld...
|

|
117Congratulations! Ending No.4
