――博麗神社。 人里離れた辺境の地に建つ神社である。

神社の巫女、博麗霊夢は困っていた。
お祓い棒が言う事を聞かないのだ。

——The Hakurei Shrine. A shrine that stood on a plot of land far away from the Human Village.

The shrine maiden, Reimu Hakurei, was troubled.
Her purification rod wasn't listening to her.

勝手に動き出すお祓い棒。

そう、これは付喪神化したという事ではないだろうか?
だとすれば彼女の敵に当たるのではないか?

The purification rod had started moving on its own.

Ah, this must be because it's turned into a tsukumogami, right?
So that means it's an enemy of hers, isn't it?

しかし彼女は動き出さない。

何故なら、勝手に動いてくれる道具が便利だったからだ。

However, she didn't take action.

Why? Because a tool that moved on its own was convenient for her.

後ろめたさの所為か、その事を誰にも言えずにいた。

そんな時に限って、不測の事態は起こるものである。

Possibly because of her guilty conscience, she didn't mention this to anybody.

It was right at this time that an unexpected situation occurred.

――魔法の森。 一年中ジメジメしている森である。

その中で比較的乾燥した空間があった。
魔法使い、霧雨魔理沙の家だ。

——The Forest of Magic. A forest that was wet and humid throughout the year.

Within it, there was a place that was relatively dry:
The house of Marisa Kirisame, a magician.

どうやら勝手に辺りの湿気を払って乾燥させているのは、

彼女の自慢の道具、ミニ八卦炉のようだ。

It seemed that her prized possession, the Mini-Hakkero,

was somehow driving away the moisture and drying the surrounding area.

火を噴く道具であるミニ八卦炉は湿気を嫌う。

それが自らの意思で勝手に動いているようだった。

Her flame-spouting Mini-Hakkero was averse to moisture.

It seemed to be acting out of its own will.

彼女は勝手に動き出した道具にどう接して良いのか悩んでいた。

如何にしてこの妖器の火で妖怪を炙れるのかと……。

She was troubled by how to handle a tool that had begun moving on its own.

How could she go about roasting some youkai with this bewitched weapon's fire...?

――紅魔館。 湖の畔にある悪魔の棲む洋館である。

メイド長である十六夜咲夜は、吸血鬼から命令を受けていた。
「霧の湖で妖怪が暴れているから何とかしろ」との事だった。

——The Scarlet Devil Mansion. A mansion on the shore of a lake, where a devil lived.

The head maid, Sakuya Izayoi, had received orders from the resident vampire.
"There's some youkai rampaging in the Misty Lake, so go do something," she said.

普段ならそんな事を言わない吸血鬼だったのだが、何やら裏が ありそうだったので深くは聞かず、出撃した。 The vampire didn't ordinarily say things like that, but it seemed there was something else going on underneath, and Sakuya set off without listening too closely.
何故そう思ったのか。

最近不思議な剣を見つけたからだった。
それは勝手に動き出す不思議な剣だった。
暴れる妖怪と不思議な剣。 無関係なはずがない。

Why did she think that?

It was because she had recently found a mysterious sword.
That very sword had started to move on its own.
Rampaging youkai, and her mysterious sword. They couldn't be unrelated.

何故ならその剣を手に取ると、彼女も暴れたくなったからだ。 As for why that was: when she grasped the sword, she too felt like rampaging.
――暴れる妖怪騒ぎはあちこちで起こっていた。

勝手に動き出す道具も散見される。
一体何が起こっているのだろうか。
霊夢達にも、暴れている妖怪達にも判らない。

——The rampaging youkai were causing riots in many places.

Tools that moved of their own accord had been found here and there, too.
What on earth was happening?
Neither Reimu and company, nor the rampaging youkai, had any idea.

次第に不安の雲が空を覆い始めていた。

強い風に軋む巨大建造物の音。
幻想郷に不協和音が鳴り響いた。

Clouds of unease were gradually beginning to cover the sky.

The sound of a huge building, creaking in the strong wind.
Discord echoed across Gensokyo.
