The Hakurei Shrine.
|
|
A historically lawful shrine within Gensokyo.

|
Reimu "What? What are you doing here!?"
|
|
Toutetsu "Keh-heh-heh, please bear no ill will towards me.
I had simply come here to speak of distribution of the petroleum resources again."
|
|
Reimu "Eh?! Distribution?"
|
|
Toutetsu "I had thought of trying to monopolize the oil, while
ignoring what everyone on the surface would say."
|
|
Toutetsu "I was unaware that there was someone this strong above ground."
|
|
Toutetsu "I had decided that it would be better to form a cooperative relationship.
I wish to form an alliance, if that's possible."
|
|
Reimu "Alliance? As in, the Gouyoku Alliance?"
|
|
Toutetsu "Keh-heh-heh, but of course.
If this is realized, then I shall dominate the Animal Realm!"
|
|
Reimu "*sigh*
Nobody on the surface wants anything to do with the Animal Realm."
|
|
Toutetsu "By the way, where is she?
That splendid vampire who had destroyed my infinite stomach..."
|
|
The Scarlet Devil Mansion.
|
|
A luxurious but dim Western-style building.
|
|
Okina "I must thank you for your efforts in subjugating Toutetsu."
|
|
Flandre "But she is still breathing. I destroyed her, didn't I?
|
|
Okina "No no, you absolutely did destroy her.
As a result, the Toutetsu above ground is a completely different individual."
|
|
Flandre "Eh?"
|
|
Okina "The 'Toutetsu' you fought was little more than a lump of greed."
|
|
Okina "The person you had defeated was someone who had absorbed
the malicious intents within the Hell of Blood Pools."
|
|
Okina "Now, she has simply become a talking taotie that absorbed the greed of the surface."
|
|
Okina "Thank you, for destroying the taotie that no-one else could."
|
|
Flandre "Hmm...Well, I'm not sure I understood all that, but it sounds like good news!"
|
|
Okina "I see..."
|
|
Flandre "Well, if I see Toutetsu again,
then surely it wouldn't be a crime to destroy her with all my might, yeah?"
|
|
Okina " *chuckle* That's correct.
Do call me again if you wish to do so.
Now then, I have another matter I must attend to, so I'll be off..."
|
|
Yuuma Toutetsu had spoken with the humans on the surface and the demons in Former Hell,
and became one of the individuals managing the Hell of Blood Pools.
|
|
And Okina Matara had become its co-manager on behalf of the surface world.
|
|
Toutetsu had later learned that oil spills were a serious problem on the surface world.
|
|
The petroleum leaks were set up by Okina in order
to make Toutetsu a common enemy above ground.
|
|
After everything had settled, everyone had danced
to Okina's script of putting the oil under her control.
|
|
But for those who knew of the hopeless future surrounding petroleum,
Okina having taken control of it was seen as a good thing.
|
|
That is because Okina is a secret god who makes everything hidden.
Therefore, petroleum was once again hidden at the bottom of the earth.
|
|
Along with a disturbing element known as "Toutetsu"...
