妖怪の山 Youkai Mountain
危険度: 高 Threat level: High
遭遇する妖怪:天狗、河童他 Encounterable youkai: Tengu, kappa etc.
人間より昔からこの地に棲み着いている妖怪が多く棲む場所が、妖怪の山だ。 A place where a great number of youkai settled in long before the time of man, Youkai Mountain.
通常、山とだけ言った場合はこの妖怪の山の事を指す。 Ordinarily, if someone just says "the mountain", they're referring to Youkai Mountain.
ここに棲む妖怪達は、人間や麓の妖怪とは別の社会を築いており、幻想郷のパワーバランスの一角を担っている。 The youkai living here have developed their own distinct society, separate from the humans and the youkai living in the foothills, upholding one corner of Gensokyo's power balance.
特に天狗や河童は外の世界に匹敵するか、それ以上の技術力を持っている(*14)為、この山に攻め入る妖怪は居ない。 In particular, the tengu and kappa on the mountain have developed technology (*14) comparable to or greater than the outside world's. As such, there are no youkai that would invade this mountain.
山の妖怪は幻想郷のどの種族よりも陽気で仲間意識も高く、高度な技術と相まって近未来的で豊かな生活を送っていると言う。 The mountain youkai's camaraderie is stronger than that of any other group in Gensokyo, and with advanced technology, their daily life is futuristic and bountiful.
ただ、その仲間意識の高さから、余所者に対する風当たりは強い。 However, because of that strong internal cohesion, their resistance towards outsiders can be quite formidable.
特に山の侵入者に対しては、相手が何であれ全力で追い返されてしまう。 They are especially merciless towards trespassers, and will chase them away with all their might no matter who they may be.
その為、山の実情は殆ど謎のままである。 Because of this, the actual state of affairs on the mountain is mostly a mystery.
噂では、山の内部に大きな空洞があり、外の世界さながらの未来楽園を築いているとも言われている(*15)。 Rumors say that within the mountain exists a large hollow cavity where a futuristic utopia just like the outside world is being built (*15).
そこには一日中太陽の光が届き、自動化された工場で生活に必要な道具を生み出し、妖怪達はお酒を飲みながら新聞を読んでその内容で語り合い、楽しく暮らしているという。 In that place, the sun's light shines all day long, an automated factory produces the necessary items to meet the needs of everyday life, and the youkai drink sake while reading the newspaper and discussing the news, living blissfully.
その空洞の中には、禁じられている筈の結界に穴を開ける行為を行い、外の世界と繋がっている所があるから、他の妖怪や人間を寄せ付けない、とさえ言われているが……。 Within this hollow cavity, the forbidden act of opening a hole that connects to the outside world through the boundary is perpetrated, so other youkai and humans are not allowed to enter. At least, that is what they say...
*14 天狗は写真、印刷、出版の技術。河童は鉄鋼や建築、道具の作成などの技術を持つ。 14: The tengu's technology includes photography, printing and publication. The kappa work with iron and steel and also are skilled in crafting tools.
*15 天狗の新聞を読むとまんざらでも無いと言った感じ。 15: If one reads the tengu's newspaper, one gets the feeling that this rumor isn't entirely baseless.
