雪の降る冬の博麗神社。 |
Snow falls on the Hakurei Shrine in winter. It had been destroyed by an earthquake before, but now it's back to normal. |
そんなある日、博麗神社の巫女、博麗霊夢を驚かす出来事が起こった。 |
One day, something happened to surprise the Hakurei Shrine's shrine maiden, Reimu Hakurei. That was the sudden appearance of a white pillar shooting into the air - a geyser - near the shrine grounds. |
普段なら何か出来事が起こると彼女は解決に向かうのだが、その出来事は彼女を |
Normally, when something unusual happens, she goes to find out what happened and quickly bring the matter to a close, but this made her happy as much as it surprised her. After all, the geyser would melt the snow and become a hot spring that would ease the fatigue of both humans and youkai from nearby. |
魔理沙「……間欠泉って近寄って危なくないのか?」 |
Marisa " ... isn't it dangerous to get too close to a geyser?" |
霊夢 「神社にお客を呼べるチャンスなんだから、お客が多少危険でも良いのよ。 |
Reimu "It could attract visitors to the shrine, so who cares?" |
魔理沙「温泉目当てだけどな」 |
Marisa "Yeah, for the hot spring." |
しかし、霊夢の希望的観測は外れた。 |
However, Reimu's hopeful observations were off the mark. |
次々とわき出る異形の者達。地霊——地底に住む者達であった。 |
One by one a series of grotesque characters appeared. Earth spirits - denizens of the deep underground. |
慌てた彼女達は間欠泉をどうするべきか悩んだ結果、温泉を取る事にした。 |
Disturbed, the two girls wondered what to do about the geyser, so they decided to build a spa. In fact, the earth spirits were quiet and kept to themselves. Most of them were simply ghosts who had finally been relieved of their ties to this world and allowed to pass on. In Gensokyo, where youkai and ghosts ran rampant as a matter of course, the appearance of a few earth spirits didn't seem like such a big deal. |
しかし、その巫女の判断は妖怪達の不満を買った。 |
However, that decision by the shrine maiden bought the youkai's unhappiness. |
——紅魔館 |
—— The Scarlet Devil Manor |
しかし、彼女には周りに相談できる人物も殆どいない。 |
However, there was almost no-one she could consult with regarding this problem. Losing her temper with Reimu and company, she grudgingly decided to consult with the youkai who was said to have been in Gensokyo the longest. |
古い妖怪——八雲紫(やくもゆかり)は妖怪が地底界へ干渉する事は控えたいとしていた。 |
This old youkai, Yukari Yakumo, wanted the youkai to refrain from interfering in the affairs of the underground world. |
紫 『地底界には別の<仕組み>があるのだから、余り派手に動いてはいけない』 |
Yukari "The underground world has different arrangements, so we can't act too overtly." |
パチェ『人間達が動かないしこのままでは後手になってしまうけど、それでも良いのかしら』 |
Pache "Well, the humans aren't going to do anything. At this rate we'll lose our initiative; is that what you want?" |
紫 『そうねぇ……しょうがないわ、貴方達に<また>勝手に動かれたら面倒だしね』 |
Yukari "Hm, that's true ... I suppose I have no choice, I can't let you all just do whatever you want again." |
パチェ『またって何の話なのか……それは置いておいて、取り敢えず貴方が動いてくれる? |
Pache "What do you mean, again ... ? In any case, will you do something? You seem to know something about the underground." |
紫 『いいえ、私達は動きません。地底に潜るのは人間だけです。 |
Yukari "No, I can't do anything. Only humans can go to the underground. Besides, this might be a trap to draw us in." |
紫はそう言って霊夢達を送り出す事だけは約束し、妖怪は地上からサポート役にまわる様にした。 |
Yukari promised only to send Reimu to investigate, with youkai staying behind to act in a support role. |
——封印された妖怪達は、激しい間欠泉と共に目覚めた。 |
——The sealed youkai awoke together with the violent geyser. The memories of the earth began to awaken, and Gensokyo would probably regress into an older period from its history. |
地底の妖怪達は忌み嫌われた能力を持っていたが為に地底に落とされたのだ。 |
The youkai of the underground were cast into the depths because of their abominable powers. It couldn't be a fortuitous thing for humans or youkai if they were to appear again. |
ゆっくりと光る雪。 |
The snow, slowly shining. |
彼女はそこにいた。 |
She was there. |
