東方紅魔郷 ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.

- 0 -

幻想郷は、予想以上に騒がしい日々をおくっていた。

謎の来訪者に、夏の亡霊も戸惑ってるかの様に見えた。

In Gensokyo, confused voices cried out unlike any time before.

Even the spirits of summer were at a loss at what to do about recent events.

そんな全てが普通な夏。

辺境は紅色の幻想に包まれた。

It was going to be the perfect typical summer.

And now Gensokyo was blanketed in scarlet red.

- 1 -

ここは東の国の人里離れた山の中。

博麗(はくれい)神社は、そんな辺境にあった。

In the eastern mountains far from the villages,

lies the Hakurei Shrine, isolated from civilization.

この山は、元々は人間は棲んでいない、今も多くは決して足を踏み入れない場所で、人々には幻想郷と呼ばれていた。

幻想郷は、今も相変わらず人間以外の生き物と、ほんの少しの人間が自由に闊歩していたのだった。

Ordinarily, no humans live on these mountains.

These days, not many people enter this land called Gensokyo.

Non-humans and a number of humans have been living freely in Gensokyo since the olden days.

人々は文明開化に盲信した、人間は生活から闇の部分を積極的に排除しようとしていた。

実はそれは、宵闇に棲む生き物にとっても、人間との干渉もなくお互いに気楽な環境だったのだった。

Humans outside Gensokyo believed in developing culture, and they removed darkness from their life for their comfort.

Actually, this was comfortable for beings that lived in the darkness as well, since now they never have to interact with humans.

そして、ある夏の日、音も無く、不穏な妖霧が幻想郷を包み始めたのである。

それは、まるで幻想郷が日の光を嫌っているように見えたのだった。

One summer day, a mysterious fog silently covered Gensokyo.

It was as if Gensokyo itself tried to hide from the light of the sun.

- 2 -

博麗神社の巫女、博麗霊夢(はくれいれいむ)はおおよそ平穏な日々を送っていた。

滅多に参拝客が訪れないこの神社は、退屈だったり退屈じゃなかったりして、楽しく暮らしているようである。

The shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine, Reimu Hakurei lives mostly peaceful days.

This shrine is sometimes boring, because visitors are very rare.

Still, she is enjoying her life.

そんな夏の日、霊夢は少しばかり退屈以外していた。

On that summer day, Reimu was a little bored.

 霊夢「もー、なんなのかしら、

    日が当たらないと天気が晴れないじゃない」

Reimu
"Mmm... What is happening?
Without sunshine, the sky's never going to be fine."

このままでは、霧は神社を越え、人里に下りていってしまう。

幻想郷が人々の生活に干渉してしまうことは、幻想郷も人の手によって排除されてしまうだろう。

If left alone, the fog will go beyond the shrine, and reach the cities on the outside.

If something affects those cities, then people from the outside would try to destroy Gensokyo.

 霊夢「こうなったら、原因を突き止めるのが巫女の仕事(なのか?)

    なんとなく、あっちの裏の湖が怪しいから、出かけてみよう!」

Reimu
"Then, investigating the cause is work for a shrine maiden (is it?).
I think the lake down there is suspicious. Let's go there!"

あたりは一面の妖霧。

勘の鋭い少女は、直感を頼りに湖の方向へ出発した。

The girl who has excellent intuition heads toward the lake.

- 3 -

数少ない森の住人である普通の少女、霧雨 魔理沙(きりさめまりさ)は、普通に空を飛んでいた。

One of the few human residents, ordinary girl Marisa Kirisame, was flying as she normally does.

いつのまにか、霧で湖の全体が見渡せなくなっていたことに気づくと、勘の普通な少女は、湖に浮かぶ島に何かがあるのでは?と思ったのだった。

By chance, she noticed that fog had hidden the entire lake from view.

The girl with normal intuition thought, "Something powerful is being cast at the island on the lake".

 魔理沙「普通、人間だって水のあるところに集落を造るしな」

Marisa
"Well, humans create villages near water so it must be some powerful humans."

化け物も水がないと生きてけないのだろうと、実に人間らしい考え方である。

Monsters need water too. She has such human-like thinking.

 魔理沙「そろそろ、あいつが動き出しそうだから、ちょっと見に行くか」

Marisa
"I should probably go and check it out. Let's go and see!"

少女は、何かめぼしい物が無いか探しに行くかのように出発した。

むしろ探しに行ったのだった。

The girl seems to be looking for something nice.

Or rather, searching for something to collect.

湖は、一面妖霧に包まれていた。

普通の人間は30分はもつ程度の妖気だったが、普通じゃない人もやはり30分程度はもつようだった。

All of the lake was covered by the mysterious fog.

A regular human would survive only 30 minutes in that fog, but an irregular human would also survive only 30 minutes.

妖霧の中心地は、昼は常にぼんやり明るく、夜は月明かりでぼんやり明るかった。

霧の中から見る満月はぼやけて数倍ににも膨れて見えるのだった。

The center of the fog is dim by day, and also by night from the moonlight.

The moon viewed from within the fog looked grand and hazy.

もしこの霧が人間の仕業だとすると、ベラドンナの花でもかじった人間であることは容易に想像できる。

If the fog was caused by a human, we could easily imagine that the human must have eaten belladonna.

中心地には島があり、そこには人気を嫌った、とてもじゃないけど人間の住めないようなところに、窓の少ない洋館が存在した。

At the center, there is an island where humans can hardly live at all.

There is a mansion which has few windows.

昼も夜も無い館に、「彼女」は、いた。

Within the mansion with neither day nor night, "She" is there.
