命名決闘法案	Spell Naming Law
妖怪同士の決闘は小さな幻想郷の崩壊の恐れがある。	With each fight between youkai, there is the fear of collapse of the small land of Gensokyo.
だが、決闘の無い生活は妖怪の力を失ってしまう。	However, if youkai are unable to fight, their power will gradually vanish.
そこで次の契約で決闘を許可したい。	Therefore, I propose the following contract for the allowance for duels.
理念	Concepts
一つ、妖怪が異変を起こし易くする。	That youkai can easily cause disasters.
一つ、人間が異変を解決し易くする。	That humans can easily resolve disasters.
一つ、完全な実力主義を否定する。	That use of one's full abilities is to be denied.
一つ、美しさと思念に勝る物は無し。	That there are no things superior to beauty and thought.
法案	Law
・決闘の美しさに名前と意味を持たせる。	- Each spell shall be given a beautiful and meaningful name.
・開始前に命名決闘の回数を提示する。	- The number of named spells to be used shall be announced beforehand.
体力に任せて攻撃を繰り返してはいけない。	Attacks relying on physical strength are not to be repeated.
・意味の無い攻撃はしてはいけない。	- Do not attack without reason.
意味がそのまま力となる。	Reason becomes its own power.
・命名決闘で敗れた場合は、余力があっても負けを認める。	- If all your named spells are defeated, you are defeated, regardless of your remaining strength.
勝っても人間を殺さない。	If victorious against a human, you may not kill them.
・決闘の命名を契約書と同じ形式で紙に記す。	- The name of the spell shall be recorded on paper in the same form as this contract.
それにより上記規則は絶対となる。	As a result, all of the aforementioned regulations become absolute.
この紙をスペルカードと呼ぶ。	This paper will be called the "spell card".
具体的な決闘方法は後日、巫女と話し合う。	A concrete method of dueling may be discussed later with the shrine maiden.

スペルカードルールの原案。	Draft of the Spell Card Rules.
巫女が決めたルールであるはずだが、	Although the shrine maiden decided on these rules,
この原案は妖怪同士の契約書と同じ紙に書かれている。	the original draft is written on the same paper as the youkai's contract.
巫女にルールを提案した妖怪が居るのか？	Did a youkai propose these rules to the shrine maiden?
これは誰が書いたのだろう。	I wonder who could have written them.
