野生の兎のリーダー格である妖怪兎が、因幡てゐだ。 Tewi Inaba is the youkai rabbit that acts as the leader of the wild rabbits.
健康に気を遣っているうちに、長生きする様になった兎である。 She is a rabbit who has managed to live a long life by taking good care of her health.
人語を解し、人間の姿を取る事が出来る。 She can assume human form and understand human speech.
この妖怪兎だが、別名幸運の素兎とも言われ、姿を見た者には幸せが訪れると言われている。 This youkai rabbit is also known as the Rabbit of Good Fortune, and it's said that those who see her will be blessed with good luck.
だが、すばしっこくて、さらに迷いの竹林に居ることが多いので、簡単には見つける事が出来ない。 However, not only is she very fleet-footed, but she spends much of her time in the Bamboo Forest, so it isn't very easy to find her.
性格は、非常に悪戯好きだが臆病な所もあり、狡賢い。 Her personality is quite mischievous, but has cowardly and cunning sides as well.
喜怒哀楽が激しく、妖精に近い性格を持つ。 She is extremely emotional, to the point that her personality is not unlike a fairy's.
普段は迷いの竹林のどこかにあると言われる、永遠亭で暮らしているという。 It is said she spends most of her time in the Bamboo Forest and lives at Eientei.
この妖怪兎だが、実は永遠亭が出来る前から存在していて、幻想郷の中でも最も長く生きている部類の妖怪だと言われている(*1)。 In fact, she has lived in the Bamboo Forest since before Eientei was built, and is said to be one of the longest-lived youkai in Gensokyo (*1).
目撃報告例 Eyewitness Reports
・この前、竹林でやっと妖怪兎を見ましたよ!これでオラにもささやかな幸せが訪れる (匿名) "I finally found that rabbit in the bamboo forest just now! I'm sure Lady Luck will be visiting me from now on..." (Anonymous)
幸運はそんなに長持ちしないので、きっと迷いの竹林で迷わず帰れたという幸運で終了では無いか。 Good fortune does not last very long, so you may have exhausted your share merely by making it back safely from the forest.
・ああ、兎肉は淡泊だからどんな味付けにも合うよ (香霖堂店主) "Ah, rabbit meat is plain so it goes well with any other side dish." (Owner of Kourindo)
兎肉は幻想郷では人気の高い食材の一つである(*2)。 Rabbit meat is just one kind of popular cuisine in Gensokyo (*2).
・兎を罠にかけても、中々妖怪兎は掛かっていないんだよね (匿名) "Even if I catch rabbits in my traps, there are never any youkai rabbits inside." (Anonymous)
流石に、妖怪兎となると智慧がある。 Of course, youkai rabbits are pretty intelligent.
対策 Countermeasures
幸運を授けてくれると、珍しく人間からの人気が高い妖怪兎だが、見つけようとすると一筋縄ではいかないだろう。 Due to her reputation as a bringer of good fortune, she is unusually popular among humans for a youkai, but finding her is not a simple matter.
迷いの竹林に居る事が、見つけにくさに拍車をかけている。 Her tendency to stay in the Bamboo Forest only compounds the problem.
この妖怪兎を見つけに竹林に入るのは無謀である。 Entering the forest to find this rabbit would certainly be reckless.
竹林での単調な風景と深い霧で方向感覚を狂わされ、さらに多くの妖怪が棲んでいる為、不用意に入ってはいけない。 The dense fog and monotonous scenery in the bamboo forest confuses your sense of direction, not to mention the many youkai living there, so it's unwise to enter it unprepared.
妖怪兎を見つけた時点で幸運であるとも言える。 One might say that it would be good fortune enough merely to find her at all.
元々幸運な人間にしか幸運は訪れないのかも知れない(*3)。 It may be that good fortune only visits those who were fortunate to begin with (*3).
ちなみに、四つ葉のクローバーで喩えると、四十葉のクローバー程度の幸運を貰えると言われている。 Incidentally, compared to a four-leaf clover, her good fortune is that of a forty-leaf clover.
*1 この幻想郷縁起の編纂が始まった時から、既に存在が確認取れている。 1: Her presence had already been confirmed at the time the Gensokyo Chronicle was first compiled.
*2 かくいう私も大好物。 2: It's a favorite of mine, as well.
*3 当たり前。 3: Of course.
