8 The Hakurei Shrine, at the boundary of Gensokyo.
|
|
10 Most of the cherry blossoms have scattered, and it seems like spring has finally come to an end.
|
|
12 It has been a long spring, and it will become summer soon.
|
|
16 Reimu "Phew, first the cherry blossoms completely fall, and now it's getting hotter, isn't it?"
|
|
19 Marisa "Haven't you just been slacking off until now?
|
|
21 Are you really serious about cleaning up?"
|
|
24 Reimu "Ah, but did you not say it's important to take breaks?"
|
|
27 Marisa "At any rate, these flowers alone have been blooming so much,
it seems unbelievable."
|
|
31 Reimu "An incident that hurts nobody is quickly forgotten."
|
|
34 Marisa "I wonder about that..."
|
|
37 Reimu "To the point that though a flower blooms, nothing will remain once it scatters.
|
|
39 If nothing remains of them, then their memories will fade as well."
|
|
42 Marisa "That so? Seems like a memory still remains though."
|
|
46 Shiki "That's how memories are.
|
|
48 As things start to disappear, memories of them begin to disappear simultaneously."
|
|
51 Reimu "Ah, it's been awhile."
|
|
54 Marisa "Who're you again?"
|
|
57 Shiki "You could renew yourself and your memories in the purification of the sixtieth year.
|
|
59 Even memories must be purified occasionally, yes?"
|
|
62 Marisa "Occasionally, she says...
|
|
64 Sixty years is a long time, y'know. It would only come once in a lifetime."
|
|
67 Reimu "Oh, but you seem like you'll have a long life. It is just sixty more years."
|
|
70 Marisa "You say that like people are monsters."
|
|
73 Shiki "In the case of human history, sixty years is a full revolution.
|
|
75 Because of this, if you two live until sixty, your memories will
|
|
77 be purified, and you could be reborn.
|
|
79 But that's a story for when you make it to sixty."
|
|
82 Reimu "Well, that's fine.
|
|
84 By the time summer ends, I'll certainly have forgotten about this flower incident.
|
|
86 After all, if you don't solve an incident, you'll forget about it."
|
|
89 Marisa "That's for sure."
|
|
92 Shiki "I'm sure that after sixty years, you'll remember once again.
|
|
94 Anyway, make sure you continue to follow what I've taught you."
|
|
97 Reimu "Ehh, for another sixty years?"
|
|
100 Shiki "What are you saying? Follow them until you die, nay
even after you die."
|
|
104 Marisa "Lifelong training, huh? Guess Reimu's training was insufficient from the start.
|
|
106 I wonder if I should give this training a shot as well?"
|
|
108 Gensokyo's flowers have scattered, and the new green leaves have started towards a beautiful season.
|
|
110 The disorderly bloom of flowers seemed to only last an instant.
|
|
112 As for the event that occurs once in sixty years, it felt
as though all the youkai would do well to remember it...
|
|
115 ...but it seems it will be forgotten before summer ends due to the tranquillity.
|
|
117 Indeed, it was not expected that this event of sixty years be remembered.
|
|
119 There probably won't be a single memory of it left after another sixty years have passed.
|
|
121 Just as nature returns to its source after sixty years,
|
|
123 human memories return to their source every sixty years as well.
|
|
125 The curtain closes on history every sixty years,
|
|
127 and a new sixty years begins in its place.
|
|
129 If history can be said to repeat itself, then if you ask a youkai who has lived
for more than 60 years, how was it like 60 years ago, won't you know history's fate?
|
|
132 In the end, all that matters is how to begin facing those sixty years.
|

134 Congratulations! Ending No.14
