The Myouren Temple.
|
|
An omnivorous religious facility that accepted humans and youkai alike without discrimination.
|
|
It seems that its inhabitants were the first to notice the true nature of the black water.
|
|
Ichirin "Really? A sheep in a place as untouchable
as the Hell of Blood Pools? You can't be serious!"
|
|
Minamitsu "I'm absolutely serious! I can only see her as being nothing short of insane.
She was laughing and swimming in that blood lake!
A truly perverted pervert."
|
|
Ichirin "Woah, that's disgusting!
You really had to fight against such a person?
Ewww, cooties! Cooties!"
|
|
Minamitsu "Stop thaaat...
I wouldn't have gone had she not ordered me to, you know.
This is power harassment!"
|
|
Ichirin "Oh, I wonder if it's okay to say that.
I think I'll tell her~"
|
|
Minamitsu "Stooop..."
|
|
??? "My dears? Pardon me for interrupting,
but could I talk to you for a minute?"
|
|
Minamitsu "Ah, Lady Hijiri!"
|
|
Minamitsu "I did as I was told and quelled the Hell of Blood Pools.
I also think I've done a good job of dealing with the unexpected sheep youkai."
|
|
Byakuren "The sheep youkai... the taotie.
It seems that she's no ordinary being.
That she's a big shot in the Animal Realm with many subordinates."
|
|
Ichirin "Eh?"
|
|
Minamitsu "It didn't look like that to me..."
|
|
Byakuren "The word in the Animal Realm is that she's just making herself seem small.
That in truth, she's a monster among monsters that swallows everything she can get her hands on."
|
|
Byakuren "Honestly, it's rumored that even in the Animal Realm,
there's no one who could challenge her to a fight."
|
|
Hijiri "Fortunately, she doesn't seem to be belligerent, which is a relief.
Now, I'd like to hear more about your battle with her."
|
|
The black water...the oil's gushing up had temporarily subsided.
This is because the Former Hell of Blood Pools was placed
into a dormant state by Byakuren's incantation.
|
|
But the appearance of Toutetsu had disturbed the hearts of Byakuren and the others.
|
|
Whether one believed in the stories told by Minamitsu Murasa,
or the rumors surrounding Yuuma Toutetsu, preparing for the worst is a must.
|
|
Toutetsu had been working to prevent any more oil leakages in an effort
to monopolize the oil deposit, which made her seem convenient in the eyes of Gensokyo.
|
|
However, one can't help but think that the vindictiveness of
the Hell of Blood Pools has run so out of control that oil is still leaking out.
