8At a hidden border in a mountain recess, isolated from the human village.

10Over at the Hakurei Shrine, the cherry blossoms bloomed as always in springtime.

12In the end however, the flowers throughout Gensokyo still continued to bloom.

16Reimu "Ugh... It's no use, no matter how much I sweep and sweep.

18It's nice to have cherry blossoms blooming and all, but it'd be nicer if they didn't drop their petals..."

21Reimu "Not to mention, it feels like the sides of my shoulders have gotten lighter somehow.

23I wonder if they've been possessed by something...

25Nah it can't be, I'm a shrine maiden."

27Reimu "It's no use. I'm done cleaning.

29I think I'll start a one-man flower viewing party."

33Shiki "Hey!

35Don't slack off on your own job too.

37It looks like you can't say anything about Komachi anymore."

39Komachi "You said you wouldn't slack off this much."

42Reimu "What are you talking about? I can't even take a break, just because all these flowers happen to be blooming?

45And on top of that, what about your own job?

47The flowers haven't even returned to normal yet."

50Shiki "The cherry blossoms are blooming. We're taking a break.

52Also, the number of phantoms coming from the outside world have dropped off.

54After this, we'll ferry the accumulated phantoms little by little, like usual.

56That is, if Komachi doesn't slack off."

58Komachi "Like I told you, the workload was too much to handle! I was trying to keep to my own pace."

61Shiki "Oh look, it's Komachi. What are you doing here? Are you loafing around or something?"

(Literally "selling oil" (油を売っている))

63Komachi "...But Lady Shiki said we're taking a break..."

66Reimu "And why do you think all these phantoms suddenly increased in the first place?

68Not to mention, these aren't just ordinary souls, right?"

71Komachi "These phantoms are...

73Souls that haven't even realized that they're dead yet.

75They're nameless ghosts that held onto their attachment to life even after death.

77It seems that something big might have happened in the outside world."

80Reimu "Yes.

82I don't know what happened in the outside world, but if there are this many souls...

84I'm certain that a large number of humans, if not all, have unexpectedly died.

86Like from a large earthquake, or a large volcanic eruption, or a large tsunami..."

89Shiki "Or from a war.

(The cycle lasts 60 years and this game was released a bit after the 60th anniversary of the nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so she's probably referencing the previous cycle.)

91In any case, things have calmed down, so as the phantoms decrease as time passes on,

93the flowers will return to normal."

97Reimu "Now if only the cherry blossoms wouldn't drop as many petals..."

100Shiki "By the way, are you planning on doing a few good deeds?"

103Reimu "Hmm? Oh. You said I wouldn't even be able to go to hell, so maybe at least once."

106Shiki "Yes, it's very important to have constant dedication."

109Reimu "Such as showing restraint when eating sweets,

111Or try to stop wasting used tea leaves as much as possible,

113Or if a rice cracker gets damp, be sure to toast it first before you eat it."

116Komachi "Yeah, a shrine maiden's good deeds are something along the lines of that."

118Shiki "Well, I suppose that's fine.

120But first, you should start by acknowledging the sins of your actions.

122A living creature is in sin for as long as he lives.

124After that, the way you faced your sins in life becomes crucial."

126Komachi "If you forget what you've been taught once you die...

128You'll end up bothering Lady Shiki to where she'll smack you into the Sanzu River, so be sure to stay as you are now."

131Shiki "Oh look, it's Komachi. Whatever happened to your job? Aren't the cherry blossoms still in full bloom?"

135Reimu "Yes, when are things going to get back to normal?"

138Komachi "Gimmie a break..."

141The grim reaper of the Sanzu River and the Yama were unable

   to return Gensokyo's flowers back to normal.  In the end,
the flowers of Gensokyo continued to bloom.

144However, the shrine maiden was no longer impatient.

146Ultimately, the abnormal flowers will decrease as the phantoms cross the Sanzu River.

148The sunflowers bloomed by humans with cheerful personalities,

150The red spider lilies bloomed by humans with sad personalities,

152And the violet cherry blossoms bloomed by those who committed acts of sin...

154...will all surely return to normal before summer arrives.

156If the outside world returns to normal, the amount of nameless phantoms will naturally decrease.

158The afterlife of fantasy, seen by the outsider humans, was becoming the regular life.

(Or more literally, Higan becoming Shigan.)
