	「門前の小僧習わぬ経を読む」という諺は、人は環境によって善人にも悪人にもなるという意味ですが、響子が声に出す経は、ただのヤマビコなので心には何にも響いていません。ただ口から音が出ているだけです。ハイテンションでグイグイ来る系。	There exists a saying, "A shop-boy near the temple gate will recite sutras he's never been taught​", and it means that a person can turn out good or wicked depending on their circumstances, but the sutras that Kyouko utters are uttered with the voice of a Yamabiko, so nothing really affects her mind, since they're all just sounds coming out of her mouth. She's the enthusiastic, vigorous type.
	入道とは妖怪の名前でもありますが、仏道に入る事でもあります。入道は仏教とは切っても切れない妖怪です。一輪は「星蓮船」の時は大人しい格好をしていますが、「心綺楼」になると派手な袈裟を着て僧侶である事を隠そうともしません。というのも、みんな大きい姿の雲山の方にしか注目しないため、本人としても少しは目立とうとしているところがあると思います。まあ、僧侶は僧侶でももっと派手な奴が居るので目立ててないんですけどね。	"Nyuudou" is the name of a youkai, but it also refers to entering the path of Buddhism, so the Nyuudou is a youkai that is inseparable from Buddhism. Ichirin dressed in a docile manner when she first appeared in Undefined Fantastic Object, but by Hopeless Masquerade, she doesn't even attempt to hide her status as a monk as she goes around wearing a flashy kasaya. Because everyone usually pays more attention to the larger Unzan, I feel that Ichirin herself may have been trying to stand out a bit. Well...monks don't exactly stand out in the first place because there exist guys who are more showy than the monks, which includes other monks.
	雲山は最近見かけなくなった典型的なガンコ親父……を演じてますが性格は温厚で、どちらかというと好々爺です。それに気の小さいところもあり、一輪が居ないと人前に出ることができず、綿雲のフリをしてひなたぼっこしているみたいです。	Unzan resembles the stereotypical "pig-headed old man" character that hasn't been showing up much nowadays....Though, Unzan himself is pretty gentle, if rather old-fashioned. Also, he's rather timid, so he doesn't show up in public without Ichirin, and it seems he has a tendency to pretend he's a fleecy cloud as he basks in the sun.

	こういう組み合わせだったので今回は日常構図にしましたが一輪さんのザ・主人公！　感というか圧倒的ジャンプ感好きです。でも幻想郷屈指のいい人だと思っているので菩薩感もきちんと出るように……（笑）。響子ちゃんはとにかくもふもふ！　元気！　命蓮寺のアイドル！　響子ちゃんは、もふもふ！　仔犬みたいでかわいいんですよね……。一輪さんは雲山親父と一緒だとめっちゃかっこよくなるのが魅力ですよね。「心綺楼」以降のハイカラ美人ぶり、「星蓮船」でのきちんと感どっちも好きです。どんどんお酒飲んで欲しい。	Because I was dealing with that kind of combination here, I went with a "slice-of-life"-esque composition this time, but with Ichirin as the main character! I like the overwhelming "Shounen Jump" vibe this gives off! Though, I feel that she's one of the best people in Gensokyo, so I made sure to give her that "Bodhisattva" kind of impression too... (lol). Anyhow, Kyouko...she's so soft and fluffy!! And full of energy!! The Myouren Temple's idol!!! Kyouko is just sooo fluffyy!! She looks just like a cute little puppy... The appeal that lies within Ichirin is that she's so good-looking when she's with Old Man Unzan. I enjoyed her high-collared beauty in Hopeless Masquerade and the orderly impression she gave off in Undefined Fantastic Object.

	Personality 響子は「神霊廟」２面に初登場した山彦の妖怪。命蓮寺の境内で朝の掃除に励んでいたところ、主人公と遭遇した。	Personality Kyouko is a Yamabiko who first debuted as the stage 2 boss of Ten Desires. She encountered the heroines in the morning while sweeping the Myouren Temple grounds.
	もともとは妖怪の山に住んでいたが、幻想郷の中ですら「山彦は音の反射である」という噂が広まったことで、山で大声をあげる人が減ってしまい、結果として妖怪の山からも山彦たちがどんどん自然消滅していった。そんな夜を儚んだ響子は命蓮寺に出家し、今は修行の日々を送っている。	She originally lived on Youkai Mountain, but even in Gensokyo, the rumor that "Yamabiko (mountain echoes) are simply sounds waves being reflected back at you" began to spread, so less people were shouting into the mountains as a result, including Youkai Mountain, which in turn lead to the natural deaths of an increasing number of Yamabiko living on Youkai Mountain. Despairing at such an outcome that night, Kyouko came to the Myouren Temple and is now spending her days training there.
	一輪と雲山は「星蓮船」３面で初登場。法界に封じられていた聖白蓮を救うために、ほかの仲間たちととともに飛倉の破片を集めていた。異変後は命蓮寺で修行の日々を過ごしている。	Ichirin and Unzan first appeared in stage 3 of Undefined Fantastic Object. They, along with their comrades, were collecting the fragments of the Flying Storehouse in order to rescue Byakuren Hijiri, who was sealed in Hokkai. They continued to spend their days training at the Myouren Temple post-incident.
	一輪は元は人間だったが妖怪となった存在。人間のころ、暴れていた見越し入道を一泡吹かせよう出向いたのが、雲山との出会いのきっかけだ。見事に雲山を撃退した一輪と、その度胸に感服した雲山は以後コンビとして活動を始め、いつしか妖怪の仲間入りをしたという。	Ichirin was once a human, but became a youkai over time. Back when she was human, she heard of a rampant Mikoshi-nyuudo and sought to give him a scare, which led to her first encounter with Unzan. Ichirin, who had successfully defeated Unzan, and Unzan, who admired her courage, began working together as a duo and eventually got with a group of youkai.
