#0@0 The Moriya Shrine, up on the mountain.
|
|
#0@1 Cherry blossoms were blooming at its foot, but the mountain tops were still cold and covered
|
|
#0@2 with traces of snow. Few humans ever came this far, even when there wasn't snow.
|
|
|
Kanako
|
#0@3 "It looks like it was pretty rough.
|
|
#0@4 Youkai hunting is a tough job."
|
Sanae
|
#0@5 "Yes, it really was.
|
|
#0@6 I started chasing a ship, but before I knew it I'd been
brought to a world I couldn't escape from."
|
|
|
Sanae
|
#0@7 "So, I asked a human there for help and made it home somehow."
|
Kanako
|
#0@8 "Hmmm.
|
|
#0@9 So, this is in return for that favor, then?"
|
|
|
Kanako
|
#0@10 " ‘Help Wanted Building Myouren Temple,
Now Seeking Wood & Clay Workers’ "
|
Sanae
|
#0@11 "Well, uh, she said she wanted to build a temple, so I thought
it would be nice to help her out.
|
|
#0@12 Look, they need people of your and Lady Suwako's talents."
|
|
|
Kanako
|
#0@13 "It's just a lot to ask in return for a ride on a ship."
|
Sanae
|
#0@14 "But, I didn't have any way to get home.
|
Kanako
|
#0@15 "Well, anyway... Ah, what was her name again?"
|
Sanae
|
#0@16 "Byakuren. Byakuren Hijiri."
|
Kanako
|
#0@17 "How suspicious."
|
|
|
Kanako
|
#0@18 "You said she was sealed underground for a long time, but
the first thing she wants to do is build a temple?"
|
Sanae
|
#0@19 "Hm, that's a good point.
|
|
#0@20 I was worried about how to get home from Makai, so I forgot."
|
|
|
Kanako
|
#0@21 "No matter, why don't we help her out, anyway?
|
|
#0@22 That will let us size up this Byakuren person."
|
Sanae
|
#0@23 "Oh, thank you!"
|
Kanako
|
#0@24 "You're gonna help out, too."
|
Sanae
|
#0@25 "Well, uh, I'm not that good at manual labor..."
|
|
|
|
#0@26 And so the Myouren Temple was built by Kanako and Suwako.
|
|
#0@27 It was completed in a flash. Suwako made the earth flat,
brought down the ship, and it was finished.
|
|
#0@28 Kanako gazed intently at Byakuren and the youkai around her.
|
|
|
|
#0@29 Byakuren was revered by the youkai.
|
|
#0@30 Kanako thought it was odd that a monk that'd build a temple
like this would be so revered by youkai.
|
|
#0@31 Byakuren always dealt frankly and truthfully with youkai and humans.
|
|
|
|
#0@32 She turned to the doubt-filled Kanako and thanked her profusely.
|
|
#0@33 "You're the god of the mountain, right? I could tell just by looking at you."
|
|
#0@34 So saying, she began explaining her circumstances.
|
|
|
|
#0@35 Where she was born,
|
|
#0@36 the sort of life she'd lived,
|
|
#0@37 and why she'd been sealed away.
|
|
#0@38 Kanako didn't sense a shred of falsehood in her story.
|
|
|
|
#0@39 "This monk is certainly no ordinary person."
|
|
#0@40 Kanako was even more convinced they'd need to exercise caution.
|
|
#0@41
|
|
#0@41 <c$Ending No.05 — Byakuren is really a nice person.$>
|
|
#0@42 <c$Congratulations, all clear! Just as I'd expected!$>
