8 Eientei, deep within the Bamboo Forest.
|
|
10 The rapid growth of bamboo makes a bamboo forest an ever-shifting landscape.
Even those experienced with their neck of the wood are oft to lose their way.
Deep, deep within such a forest, there lies a magnificent estate
that gleams in the moonlight.
|
|
14 Though it has stood there since long ago
and despite its considerable size,
those living in Gensokyo had gone unaware
of the mansion's existence.
|
|
17 Or maybe those who found it were hypnotized into
thinking it was a trick of the light.
|
|
21 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "Finding this old place was pretty fun, don'tcha think?"
|
|
24 <l$Alice:$12345678> "I swear, I never should have come with you."
|
|
27 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "Well, have fun getting lost trying to find your way back!"
|
|
30 <l$Alice:$12345678> "Alone, in *this* forest? You're not getting out."
|
|
33 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "Wow, seeing these ancient ruins, I feel like
<l$$12345678"> an archeologist at an excavation."
|
|
36 <l$Alice:$12345678> "So now we're grave robbers? Let's go home."
|
|
39 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "Same thing.
<l$$12345678"> Aren't you just so curious to see what might come out, though?"
|
|
44 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "Hold it right there!"
|
|
47 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "Look, someone came out."
|
|
50 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "Of course I did, I live here.
|
|
52 <l$$12345678"> What are you up to, sneaking around like this?"
|
|
55 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "I may not look it, but I have two sides.
|
|
57 <l$$12345678"> I'm a magician during the daytime and nighttime,
<l$$12345678"> but an archaeologist the rest of the time.
|
|
59 <l$$12345678"> And, I'm an archaeologist right now,
<l$$12345678"> so could you let us through here?"
|
|
62 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "...What? Why would I even need to
<l$$12345678"> let an archaeologist through??
|
|
64 <l$$12345678"> And if you're a magician by day and night,
<l$$12345678"> I don't get when exactly you're an archaeologist."
|
|
67 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "Archaeologist meaning grave robber here."
|
|
70 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "Grave robber?!"
|
|
72 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "This isn't a grave anyway! Go home!"
|
|
75 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "Then let me correct myself. We're just robbers."
|
|
78 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "Shoo! Shoo!"
|
|
81 <l$Alice:$12345678> "You shouldn't have said that, Marisa. Maybe something like
<l$$12345678"> 'We're here for our appointment' would have worked better."
|
|
85 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "It's fine, it's always like this."
|
|
88 <l$Alice:$12345678> "...No matter where, treated like this."
|
|
92 <l$Kaguya:$12345678> "Oh, we have guests?
<l$$12345678"> It's been ever so long since we've had company."
|
|
95 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "They're just thieves."
|
|
98 <l$Kaguya:$12345678> "Even thieves are a rarity here.
|
|
100 <l$$12345678"> Inaba, go fetch the four seasons tea and serve our guests."
|
|
103 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "You don't have to do all that."
|
|
106 <l$Alice:$12345678> "This thief is so self-important."
|
|
109 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "Are we really going to treat these people as if they're guests?"
|
|
112 <l$Kaguya:$12345678> "I've been in hiding for ages.
|
|
114 <l$$12345678"> But I never knew there were Earthlings
<l$$12345678"> that were as powerful as those on the Moon,
|
|
116 <l$$12345678"> So, I'd like to ask about Gensokyo."
|
|
119 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "It's a real nice place."
|
|
122 <l$Alice:$12345678> "Marisa, you just had to explain it briefly, hadn't you?"
|
|
125 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "This here's the person who swapped our moon for that fake one."
|
|
128 <l$Alice:$12345678> "Here youkai are rampant, in this carefree and pleasant place.
<l$$12345678"> Say, do you think we could continue this after we finish our tea?"
|
|
132 <l$Kaguya:$12345678> "Strange, isn't it?
|
|
134 <l$$12345678"> I *do* remember the Earth being populated by numerous youkai.
|
|
136 <l$$12345678"> However...
|
|
138 <l$$12345678"> I don't remember there being this many humans.
<l$$12345678"> When did the youkai stop feasting upon them?"
|
|
140 <l$Kaguya:$12345678> "It was such a constrained world..."
|
|
143 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "They didn't. Even now, can't tell who wants me for dinner."
|
|
146 <l$Alice:$12345678> "I'm not hungry enough to even consider eating
<l$$12345678"> a filthy human like you!"
|
|
149 <l$Kaguya:$12345678> "It's quite interesting how humans and youkai interact.
|
|
151 <l$$12345678"> This little evening chat has been fascinating indeed."
|
|
154 <l$Reisen:$12345678> "Please don't forget that they're thieves."
|
|
157 <l$Marisa:$12345678> "Archaeologists."
|
|
160 In fact, the waning moon wasn't the real one.
Now, the true full moon shines brightly upon Gensokyo,
bewitchingly restoring the land's power.
|
|
164 Kaguya and her entourage decided to stay in Gensokyo.
Within its protective barrier,
they were safe from any Lunarians pursuing her.
And with no need for a fake moon, the true moon was returned.
|
|
168 Those who came from the cosmos to Gensokyo were not outsiders.
instead, they were considered its inhabiants; Kaguya and the others
would quickly adapt to life in Gensokyo.
