8 At the Hakurei Shrine, a place that lies at the boundary between Gensokyo and the outside world.
|
|
10 The cherry blossoms of the shrine bloomed with a slightly red color.
|
|
12 However, cherry blossoms come in a variety of colors.
|
|
16 Reimu "Looks like the troublesome youkai is back again.
|
|
18 The cherry blossoms have gotten noisy now that you've come.
|
|
20 No matter how much I sweep, it's no use cleaning up these petals."
|
|
22 Yuuka "If you don't let the cherry blossom's petals fall, then the flowers won't return,
to normal any time soon, you know?"
|
|
25 Reimu "Wait, the flowers. The flowers!
|
|
27 These blooming of these unusual flowers is your doing, right?"
|
|
29 Yuuka "I thought you'd say that. You are simple-minded, after all...
|
|
31 But, that's not what your intuition is telling you."
|
|
33 Reimu "Well, I guess.
|
|
35 If it really were the case, I would've exterminated you long ago."
|
|
38 Reimu "But I can't seem to find any leads in this flower incident this time..."
|
|
40 Yuuka "Looks like your intuition was sluggish.
|
|
42 Seems like the usual guesstimating shrine maiden could only get this far..."
|
|
44 Reimu "What kind of rowdy way of calling someone is that?"
|
|
46 Yuuka "Weren't the ones being rowdy... the tengu?"
|
|
48 Reimu "Why?"
|
|
50 Yuuka "It's their ancient tradition."
|
|
52 Reimu "Well, whatever. Anyways, if the cherry blossoms continue to bloom on and their
petals continue to fall like this, won't the petals keep welling up indefinitely?
|
|
55 What's going on?"
|
|
57 Yuuka "It's just like I told you."
|
|
59 Yuuka "If you don't let the cherry blossoms drop their petals, the flowers won't return to normal.
|
|
61 There is a limit to the amount of humans coming from the outside world.
|
|
63 After that, things will naturally return to normal."
|
|
65 Reimu "How is the outside world related to all this?"
|
|
67 Reimu "Anyhow, I can't trust what you're saying.
|
|
69 I'm going to check this flower incident again tomorrow. Don't get in my way, okay?"
|
|
71 Yuuka "The Higan cherry blossoms at the Muenzuka were incredible."
|
|
73 Reimu "I'm not going flower viewing! I'm not going to a graveyard, either."
|
|
75 It was only natural that Reimu's intuition didn't work.
|
|
77 Somehow, this incident was neither caused by a youkai, nor was this something that was
caused by someone with a certain goal in mind.
|
|
80 Many of the souls had unconsciously bloomed the flowers.
|
|
82 Yes. This kind of unusual occurrence with the flowers comes every 60 years.
|
|
84 However, most people would often forget that. An incident without any sense of danger
would get completely forgotten after a year passes by.
|
|
87 What kind of flowers were blooming 60 years ago?
|
|
89 Were they flowers bloomed by a great earthquake? Were they flowers bloomed by a war?
|
|
91 In Gensokyo's point of view, any would have been fine.
|
|
93 In the soul's perspective, this was the illusory Higan.
|
|
95 However, there are also flowers that bloom only once every 60 years. They are the bamboo flowers.
|
|
97 The bamboo is a plant that is the symbol of this land. When those flowers bloom,
|
|
99 it is most likely the time they signal the occurrence of the flower incident.
