#0@0 The Hakurei Shrine.
|
|
#0@1 The shrine that stood on the eastern border of Gensokyo.
|
|
#0@2 The shrine trees stained crimson later than the mountain's.
|
|
#0@3 Once the leaves turned, there was only one thing to do.
|
|
|
Aya
|
#0@4 "It's nice to watch the leaves down here sometimes."
|
Reimu
|
#0@5 "Don't you come down here all the time?"
|
Nitori
|
#0@6 "We finally got invited to a human's party!
|
|
#0@7 Better enjoy it, since it doesn't happen much."
|
Aya
|
#0@8 "Come to think of it, what's the party for?"
|
|
|
Reimu
|
#0@9 "Because the leaves are so beautiful.
|
|
#0@10 And, I want you, the youkai of the mountain, to get along
|
|
#0@11 with the new god of the mountain."
|
|
|
Reimu
|
#0@12 "These gods aren't bad gods.
|
|
#0@13 So, I just hope we can all avoid fighting."
|
Sanae
|
#0@14 "I'm absolutely not a bad god."
|
Kanako
|
#0@15 "Neither am I."
|
Aya
|
#0@16 "Well, that's not suspicious at all."
|
|
|
Kanako
|
#0@17 "I'd like to help revive faith toward all things.
|
|
#0@18 Faith is a reverence toward existence,
|
|
#0@19 a fear of retribution for one's actions,
|
|
#0@20 and something that enriches one's life; both the mind and the body."
|
|
|
Kanako
|
#0@21 "...But, it doesn't really have to be that formal."
|
Aya
|
#0@22 "!?"
|
Kanako
|
#0@23 "There's no difference between faith and the ability
to share a nice drink together like this.
|
|
#0@24 Cause people sometimes use saké as shrine offerings."
|
|
|
Reimu
|
#0@25 "Well, she's quite a frank god, isn't she?
Why not invite her over for drinks some time?"
|
Aya
|
#0@26 "...Ahaha, you're asking a tengu to invite her drinking?
|
|
#0@27 We would have anyway. We could even outdrink gods...
|
|
#0@28 Hm, maybe we should invite you over every day."
|
|
|
Kanako
|
#0@29 "So strong; ah, but so am I, like a woman possessed."
|
Sanae
|
#0@30 "I-If I have even a little..."
|
Aya
|
#0@31 "How much is little? 3 pints? Maybe 4 gallons?" (She uses the units 一升 (one shō) and 一斗 (one to), which roughly correspond to these amounts.)
|
Nitori
|
#0@32 "I'd better go prepare a lot of cucumbers with miso paste. (Specifically, もろきゅう (morokyu).)
|
|
#0@33 I've also been making pickles lately, they're great with saké."
|
|
|
|
#0@34 Somehow, the mountain youkai had great alcohol tolerance.
|
|
#0@35 Perhaps the many strong personalities on the mountain drove
off the weaker youkai. Or perhaps—
|
|
#0@36 Alcohol was the lubricant that made the highly civilized
world of the the tengu and kappa livable.
|
|
|
|
#0@37 In any case, let us spare a thought for Sanae, the one
human in this big mix.

#0@39 <c$Congratulations, all clear! Just as I'd expected!$>
