The Human Village.
|
|
The festival atmosphere can no longer be seen,\.
and everyone is silently doing their jobs.
<balloon>
Although they seem busy,\. their overflowing excitement
can also be felt.
|
|
Marisa: "To think that just the other day there were only
noisy folks drinking at noon..."
|
|
Marisa: "Has it become lonely since they calmed down...\.
Or are they filled with energy from steadily living?"
|
|
Marisa: "Either way,\. for someone nonreligious like me
I have no clue what happened."
|
|
???: "Can I sit next to you?"
Marisa: "Ah?\. Who is it?"
|
|
Marisa: "...you!\. In a place like this...!"
Yuugi: "Not many spectators,\. is there a cease-fire today?"
|
|
Marisa: "Cease-fire?"\.
Yuugi: "Yeah,\. I've been coming to the surface every day to
watch the fights."
|
|
Marisa: "Oh,\. so you've been coming to watch.
I'm surprised the human villagers haven't been
raising a fuss."
|
|
Yuugi: "During the revelry of a festival it doesn't matter if
you're human or youkai,\. right?"\.
Marisa: "Well...\. maybe so."
|
|
Yuugi: "So,\. are there no fights today?\.
It's unpleasantly quiet..."
|
|
Marisa: "Eh,\. probably not.\.
It's become peaceful."
|
|
Kokoro's masks are made of emotion itself.\.
There are 66 of these masks.\.
If even one of them goes missing,\. her emotions go berserk.\.
|
|
The berserk emotions spread to those around her.\.
Their emotions endlessly overflow,\.
and eventually get used up.
|
|
As a result of Kokoro going berserk from losing the
mask of hope,\. the Human Village which had been caught in
a whirlpool of despair was now running out of emotions.
|
|
After that day,\. Kokoro made a temporary mask out of the hope
carried by Marisa.
|
|
More importantly,\. it kept her emotions balanced.\.
So the humans felt hope for the future and began to work
diligently.
|
|
However,\. what Marisa thought was this:\.
wasn't the world without hope brighter and more fun?
|
|
Don't humans with hope stop going on adventures...?\.
She thought.
