Fate in Flux
(Huh...?)
(Wasn't I just talking with Miss Yukari...?)
(Where am I?)
A Voice Within
You are on a corridor connecting the earth and the moon―Kaian Passageway No. 4.
A Voice Within
Welcome, PLAYER. I am the ruler of dreams and the dream-bestowing youkai. I live in the Dream World.
A Voice Within
I have called you here to fulfill an objective. To wit, I want to make use of your abilities.
A Voice Within
You have borne witness to the Lost Word Incident... But your understanding hasn't even scratched the surface of it.
A Voice Within
The gap youkai appears to be favorable toward you, but even she has yet to piece it together.
A Voice Within
So let me enlighten you. For it is also my desire that the Lost Word Incident be resolved.
A Voice Within
You probably think that the Lost Word Incidents infest parallel worlds, but I would say they infest dreams...
A Voice Within
Dreams are arrays formed from the fragments of memories pushed back into subconsciousness.
A Voice Within
Conversely, memories are a record of cognition, which the Lost Word is working to destroy.
A Voice Within
Cognition of the missing word changes abnormally once it falls into oblivion―the destruction of dreams.
But aren't dreams and reality two different things?
A Voice Within
...You are quick on the uptake. I suppose you believe you're inside a dream right now?
A Voice Within
Rejection of that sensation is the answer to your question. The boundary between dreams and reality is unclear.
A Voice Within
You know that a dream is a dream only after waking up. But for a dream within a dream, waking up once will not suffice.
A Voice Within
Well then. It seems like your first awakening is near.
A Voice Within
I hope that the next time we meet, it will be in a more peaceful dream.
Wait! Tell me more about―
Another Voice
Watch out!
Reisen
Ow, that really... doesn't hurt? Huh.
Reisen
Thank heavens I was wearing a helmet! ...Ah! Never mind that! Who are you?!
My name is PLAYER...!
Reisen
Miss PLAYER, then? My name is Reisen. I'm a moon rabbit.
Reisen
Judging by your appearance, you're a human... from earth? What are you doing here in space?
Reisen
...No! That's not what I should be concerned about!
Reisen
Some kind of human-ish dream soul things were chasing me! I was safe during my trip to Earth though...
Reisen
But my air defense barrier device broke on my way back to the moon. And those things came out of nowhere...!
Reisen
They probably appeared because of the incident!
Is an incident occurring here?!
Reisen
You don't know?! I thought EVERYONE knew that the moon is falling toward earth!
The moon's falling? Is the world being folded?
Reisen
Yes. That's exactly how the Sage of Gensokyo put it. So you do know!
Reisen
Anyway, I was being chased by those dream souls or whatever, and just as they cornered me...
Reisen
I held the sample I received from the Sage of Gensokyo and silently called for help.
Reisen
And just as I did, you appeared right in front of me. I thought you were space debris at first!
(Is this the past of Gensokyo Isle...?)
Reisen
Yikes! This isn't the time and place to be chitchatting! Those strange dream souls are catching up to us!
Reisen
So, um, Miss PLAYER...
Reisen
Could you assist me in a battle of bullets?!
I'm sorry! I can't shoot bullets...
Reisen
WHAAAAAT?! How come you're still alive?! This is crazy...!
Reisen
Oh, we don't have time for this! Urk... Can I really fight and protect you at the same time...?!
I can help you in another way.
Reisen
A notebook...? What do you use it for? What can it do?
I can use it to borrow some power from my friends.
Reisen
What do you... Oh no! We're in range already!
Reisen
For now, let's fly at full speed toward the moon. I will deal with the ones that come after us...!
Reisen
So, Miss PLAYER, please take care of the ones coming at us from the front!
All right!
A Voice Within
Yes, it is just as you think. You are now in the linear past of that world.
A Voice Within
Simple parallel worlds each have their independent direct pasts, but it might be difficult to explain.
A Voice Within
However, in the Dream World, time does not matter.
A Voice Within
Inside the dream, the past will appear before you many times, so that you can redo what has already been done.
A Voice Within
And it will keep appearing until you succeed...
From the Earth to the Moon
Reisen
Miss PLAYER! Wh-What was that...?
Reisen
I feel like I saw someone familiar fighting with us... But they vanished as soon as the battle of bullets ended!
The journal gives me this ability... Apparently.
Reisen
Oh? It's similar to how Lady Yorihime summons the power of the gods. You just borrow their power temporarily.
Oh, Reimu said something like that too.
Reimu
I only meant to ask for advice, but PLAYER... is this necromancy?! It resembles an itako medium technique.
Reimu
Or rather, sorcery allowing one to call on spirits of ancestors. And also Yukari's shikigami and my god summoning...
Marisa
Wow, you've got Reimu completely bewildered. To be honest, it was a total shocker for me too!
Marisa
I had my eyes on you the whole time. At first, I thought it was summoning magic, but it was more like a doppelganger.
Meiling
Frankly, I'm flabbergasted. They looked just like the real thing during the battle.
Reimu
Hm... At the very least, the bond re-sealed in your journal must have something to do with this.
Reimu
...Oh, sorry, PLAYER! You're probably the most confused out of all of us!
Marisa
Yeah, let's stop the interrogation. Instead, I want you to show me those abilities of yours up close.
Marisa
All righty, into the Scarlet Devil Mansion we go.
Meiling
So you won't change your mind...
Reisen
Oh, so you're friends with Miss Reimu! I see, I'm finally starting to get the picture.
Reisen
You don't seem to be the Sage of Gensokyo's onmyouji diviner, so you must be her shikigami user!
(I guess that's true...in a sense.)
Reisen
I know this is because of the big incident occurring, but I'm still grateful she's being this cooperative.
Reisen
Anyway, it looks like we'll be able to reach the moon safely. What a relief.
What's happening there at the moment?
Reisen
Well... The moon has a large military arsenal, so it'll be hard to explain it all now.
Reisen
You could say that we're trying to deal with the situation by using all of the military force at our disposal.
Reisen
Normally, the moon emissaries and the Eagle Ravi aren't involved in such missions, but they're working together now.
Reisen
Lady Toyohime, Lady Yorihime, and Lady Sagume have taken command. Honestly, I think they're invincible!
Reisen
I heard that Miss Reimu came here from Earth and flew right to the front. The moon troops are backing her up.
Reisen
It's an emergency situation, so it doesn't matter whether you're from the earth or the moon.
Reisen
The scale of the incident and the threat it poses make it an unprecedented crisis. But I'm sure it will be resolved soon!
(Will the result change if we can avert this crisis...?)
Reisen
That's why there's nothing to worry about! Safety comes first, so let's reduce our speed!
I actually think we should hurry up!
Reisen
But...
Reisen
...You're right! I want to set foot on solid ground! Let's pick up the pace!
Reisen
Be on your guard though! Make sure you keep an eye out for hostiles in front!
From Columbia to the Eagle
Reisen
We're here! Welcome to the far side of the moon! This is the Sea of Tranquility.
Reisen
...That said, it's way too silent here. Guard troops should be patrolling this area...
(The far side of the moon...!)
Reisen
Now that we're here, I think it's a good idea to head straight back to the Operations Division.
Reisen
It's in the Lunar Capital.
Reisen
As I mentioned earlier, there are several units on the moon. Depending on the objective, they work alone or in teams.
Reisen
There are some nasty creatures that attack us occasionally, but the army's tasks are basically training and patrolling.
Reisen
At least, it was so in my case. I'm somewhat afraid of fighting, so I've been avoiding it, hehe.
Reisen
But this incident is different. The feeling of tension was running throughout us moon rabbits as well.
Reisen
I don't think anyone would even think of banding together and skiving off.
Reisen
But as far as I can tell...
Reisen
...what's happening right now has no precedent.
Isn't there any way to make contact?
Reisen
Well... moon rabbits can normally contact each other across long distances by using telepathy.
Reisen
But the noise has been terrible lately. Probably because of the incident. It still works over short distances though.
Reisen
That's why I know that my comrades aren't anywhere nearby.
Then we've got to hurry to the Lunar Capital!
Reisen
Yes. We need to find out what's going on!
Reisen
I'd really like to believe that we're worrying over nothing and everyone's just slacking off...
Reisen
It's a fair distance from here to the capital. If we move quickly, we should get there...
Reisen
Hold on! I feel someone's presence!
I hope it's a moon rabbit comrade of yours...
Reisen
I'd have reached them telepathically by now in that case... I'll take a look through my scope!
Reisen
...
Reisen
.........
Reisen
...!
Did you see something?!
Reisen
I did. It's no wonder...
Reisen
This detector includes a certain tree's properties. It's been showing suspicious values since we landed on the moon.
Reisen
It detects impurities. There are hardly any impurities on the moon, so these values should never be displayed.
Reisen
That's why I thought it was an error... But now I know the detector was right.
Reisen
There are fairies here!
Reisen
And a big swarm of them, at that!
The Absolutely Still City
So this is the Lunar Capital? It's awfully silent here.
Reisen
This is a castle town district, but you're right―it's too quiet. I'm not getting anything telepathically either.
Reisen
I can't sense even a single presence.
At least there seem to be no fairies.
Reisen
They may have invaded this place already, but there's no way Lord Tsukuyomi and the others would have lost.
Reisen
But it's also true that there's absolutely no one here. What in the world should we do now...?
Reisen
...No, there's no time to get upset! We're already on the battlefield!
Reisen
There aren't any fairies now, but they may come here soon. And the Lunarians may be hiding somewhere too.
Reisen
*huff*
Reisen
HELLOOOO! IS A-NY-ONE HEEEEEEERE?
Reisen
I knew it... My voice is too weak.
HELLO! CAN ANYBODY HEAR MEEEE?!
Reisen
Wha?!
Reisen
Pfffft...! Ahahaha!
Reisen
Your voice is even weaker than mine! Look! You have to push it out of your stomach!
Oh really?!
All right... IS A-NY-BO-DY HERE?!
Reisen
Hmm, that was a bit better... But still not good enough!
Reisen
This place served as a base for us moon rabbit soldiers. It should be good enough for a little break.
The moon's architecture is very unique.
Reisen
Well, I guess it is from an earthling's point of view.
Reisen
You came quite a distance to help, so I should at least treat you to a cup of tea.
Reisen
I'll take a look inside.
The Lunar Capital, Lunarians, and moon rabbits...
The incident is already closing in...
But why was I summoned here now?
Reisen
I found tea in some spare rations. It should relieve our fatigue a bit.
Thank you, Reisen!
Reisen
But what should we do next? We've combed the area, but we still haven't found a single soul.
Reisen
There wasn't even a guard at the castle gate. The city seems completely deserted.
Maybe the Operations Division moved?
Reisen
Maybe. I can think of a few places they might have gone, but I don't know where to check since I can't contact anyone.
Reisen
If only I could use telepathy...
Maybe someone will come to our rescue?
Reisen
Rescue? ...Oh, right! The other moon rabbits can't use telepathy right now either.
Reisen
That means somebody will come looking for the moon rabbits who stayed here after the evacuation... Probably!
They'll be looking for their messenger to earth too.
Reisen
Guess it'd be better to stay put for the moment!
Reisen
And I'm exhausted after going to the earth and back. I used an improved Lunar Veil and Miss Doremy's passageway...
Reisen
But I had problems with my air defense barrier device. I'd have been in serious trouble if you hadn't appeared.
What was your mission on earth?
Reisen
Nothing too difficult.
Reisen
Lady Yagokoro is on earth. With the moon falling, I was sent to seek her counsel on how to address this emergency.
Reisen
But the situation on earth is very unstable. Lady Yagokoro and the Sage of Gensokyo formed an unusual alliance...
Reisen
...But you already know this, right, PLAYER? That's why you're here!
Reisen
The Sage of Gensokyo gave me this mysterious cubic stone and a sealed letter also signed by Lady Yagokoro.
Reisen
It's addressed to the moon's command, so I guess I ought to deliver it to Lord Tsukuyomi.
Reisen
Ah!
Wh-What's wrong?
Reisen
Well... I got stressed out thinking about the letter from Lady Yagokoro to Lord Tsukuyomi.
Reisen
I only just realized that if I fail to deliver it, something terrible will happen. Probably.
That does sound like a lot of pressure...
Reisen
We have to calm down and wait for the right opportunity! For now, let's just drink our tea...
Reisen
Hmm...
Reisen
Chatting with you over a cup of tea like this reminds me of how things used to be before the incident.
Reisen
It's true that we moon rabbits are soldiers. But the troop's pretty lax and we're not used to being under pressure.
Reisen
So we'd always hang out with our comrades to enjoy some tea and snacks. That's what we did all day long.
Reisen
...Now I am fighting in order to regain those peaceful days.
Reisen
And it's not just me. Others are fighting for the same purpose.
Everyone has something to protect...
Reisen
Carrying the moon's destiny might be too much of a burden for us... But it's not like a moon rabbit to get so nervous!
Reisen
I just need to believe that I can do it!
Reisen
By the way, when did we start being so honest with each other?
Reisen
I can't recall... But I guess it doesn't matter!
...Are those bullets I'm hearing?!
Reisen
That might be the fairies! If so, this place isn't safe! PLAYER, let's get going!
Right!
Reisen
Here!
Reisen
Oh no! There are too many of them! Let's try to escape that way!
Reisen
It's no use! They've got us surrounded!
Reisen
...!
Reisen
(PLAYER is a key figure who came to our rescue! I'm the only one here, so I need to protect her!)
Reisen
All right! I'll create an opening! Once they part, make a run for it!
???
No! Our messenger to Earth can't sacrifice herself here!
Reisen
Reisen!
Reisen
Reisen! Were you looking for us?!
Reisen
Of course! Sorry I'm late.
Reisen
Thank you! Thank you so much!
Thank you for saving us...!
Reisen
It's too early to be thankful, earthling. Same goes for you, Reisen.
Reisen
The Lunar Capital is occupied by fairies. We had to abandon it to escape.
Reisen
We've got to move along the seashore to reach our destination.
Reisen
Could you perhaps mean...?
Reisen
Yeah. Our new Operations Division and Headquarters. Follow me.
Reisen
I'll hear you out on the way.
The Place Previously Called Tycho
Reisen
I can't see any fairies close by. Looks like we managed to scare them away.
Reisen
But why are there fairies this strong on the moon? Is this because of the incident?
Reisen
Well, to put it simply, the incident has been causing space compression. But that doesn't explain everything.
Reisen
The incident has nearly reached the side of the moon that you can't see from earth.
Reisen
That's why the moon is falling toward Earth, right? But why are there so many fairies here?
Reisen
Well... Although there are very few impurities on the moon, it's not like there are none whatsoever.
Reisen
Lunarians and moon rabbits aren't completely immortal. So birth and death―that is, impurities―still exist here.
Reisen
The incident compressed those impurities along with the space. They got denser, and voila! Fairies appeared.
Reisen
It would be no big deal if this happened on earth, but... it has a huge effect here.
Reisen
Wow, Reisen! How do you know all of this?!
Reisen
Haha. I'm just repeating what I've heard from Lady Toyohime.
Reisen
Lady Toyohime?! So she's all right?!
Reisen
Safe and sound. And so is Lady Yorihime. They're waiting for you at our destination.
Reisen
What a relief!
That's a weight off your shoulders, isn't it, Reisen?
Reisen
Yes! If they're fine, there's still hope that the incident will be resolved, and that the moon will return to normal!
Reisen
...
Reisen
Let's hurry.
Reisen
We're heading to a place called Tycho. The word comes from the outside world. We're using it as a codename.
Reisen
If we continue along the shore, we should find our way there easily. Just need to pass through the Mare Nubium.
But the fairies' attacks are so much fiercer now!
Reisen
True... I wonder why.
Reisen
It's because the incident keeps closing in. The impurities are getting denser by the second.
Reisen
As such, the fairies are also getting stronger. So things will only become harder from now on.
Reisen
Can we get there by ourselves? With just the three of us?!
Reisen
Well...
Reisen
DUCK!
Reisen
*cough* *cough* PLAYER, are you OK?!
Yeah, somehow!
Reisen
That was one fast and powerful bullet! This sure isn't your average fairy!
Reisen
And it will only get worse...!
Reisen
Another one's coming! Dodge!
Reisen
Oh no... We're completely surrounded!
Reisen
And it's not just ten or twenty of them... I'm picking up fifty... no, about a hundred hostiles!
Just when and where have they come from?
Reisen
I think they've literally just appeared here. Looks like we're down on our luck.
Reisen
We need to create an opening or we're all done for!
Reisen
No, that won't work. Even if two of us sacrifice ourselves so that one can get away...
Reisen
There's just too much of a difference in power. We won't be able to break through.
Can we call for help?!
Reisen
I've been trying to! But our telepathy doesn't work over long distances.
Reisen
The continuous compression of space causes jamming of the telepathic wavelength and―
Reisen
...Huh?!
YOUR telepathy might've reached someone...!
???
Everybody, DOWN!
???
It's surprisingly stupid of you to forget to consider your own abilities, Reisen.
???
Still, you unconsciously adjusted your wavelength and sent a telepathic SOS signal. Well done.
Reisen
Ah! You two!
Seiran
Seiran of the Eagle Ravis coming to your rescue!
Ringo
Ringo of the same squad! Never fear―backup's here!
The Queen of the Moon
Ringo
...All right. We're here. This is code Tycho: the moon's current Headquarters and Operations Division.
Reisen
It's pretty... modest.
Seiran
Is everyone all right? Anyone hurt?
Reisen
That was close!
Reisen
A bit too close for comfort... PLAYER, are you all right?
Yeah. Thanks to Re―Miss Reisen's protection.
Reisen
Don't mention it. You were the one who took on the hostiles at the front.
Reisen
Fighting as a team means relying on each other for survival. We all share the results of the fight, so no need for thanks.
Ringo
Exactly! Your, um... technique? It was terrific! What kind of power is that?
Seiran
It was similar to Lady Yorihime's god summoning, but instead of a god, it was a spirit, and a familiar one at that.
Reisen
This is the power of the earth shikigami user. Right, PLAYER?
Seiran
With PLAYER, this battle is likely to take a turn for the better! ...But why were you only sent here now?
Ringo
First, let's take stock of things and report to the officers. They'll decide what to do with you after hearing us out.
Ah, about that...!
???
I see. A rare technique to call upon multiple spirits simultaneously. And it doesn't seem to be some kind of trick.
???
But is it true that a messenger from earth has arrived?
Reisen
Lady Toyohime! Lady Yorihime!
Toyohime
Welcome back. Especially you, Reisen. You did well on your mission.
Reisen
Thank you! I did have some problems with the barrier device on the way.
Yorihime
I see... The incident continuously disrupts space. No wonder the barrier generation equipment broke so easily.
Yorihime
Nevertheless, you managed to return.
Reisen
I might not have made it if I hadn't met PLAYER on the way.
Toyohime
You must've been in quite the pinch, then.
Toyohime
Miss... Pardon me, Lady PLAYER. Let me express my gratitude as the moon's representative.
Yorihime
Whatever the reason, the truth is that you saved Reisen. I agree with my sister wholeheartedly. Thank you.
It was nothing! Please call me PLAYER!
Toyohime
Well... I also prefer to be less formal.
Yorihime
Then, I shall call you PLAYER, as per your wish.
Seiran & Ringo
(Who are you and what have you done with Lady Toyohime and Lady Yorihime?!)
Reisen
(Reisen's mission must've been really important.)
Toyohime
Yet, we are in your debt, and the situation has not changed. I have my concerns, but I will refrain from asking.
Yorihime
Indeed. I also fully trust the rabbits who have brought you to us.
Yorihime
There's no time to waste. Though it may be sudden, let me apprise you of―
My apologies, but I'm no messenger...!
Before I met Reisen, I... Well, it's complicated.
Reisen
Is that true, PLAYER?!
Toyohime
So you aren't Yukari Yakumo's messenger? Or anyone else's?
I'm not. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you earlier.
Yorihime
If that's the truth... Sister, this is incredible.
Toyohime
It is, indeed. It means taking back what I said earlier, but I'll have you answer a few questions, PLAYER.
Reisen
I must've jumped to conclusions...
No, I was too confused and didn't explain...
Toyohime
So, you say you are from a future where this great incident was resolved. The Lost Word Incident is your name for it.
Yorihime
But is time travel possible? ...Oh, you said you'd been brought here by the ruler of dreams, didn't you?
Toyohime
It must've been Miss Doremy. With her abilities, this isn't completely unfeasible. Be it in the future or in the past―
Toyohime
―hers is the world of consciousness. It's not exactly time travel, but the same events may be replayed over and over.
Yorihime
Even with that logical explanation, it just feels ominous. Because the Miss Doremy I know―
Yorihime
―went off to the front line to confront the incident and hasn't been seen since.
Reisen
What?!
Ringo
It's true. Seiran and I were fighting there too. We saw it with our own eyes.
Seiran
The situation here has changed a lot since you were dispatched on your mission.
Reisen
All the other Lunarians and rabbits are gone... except for Lady Sagume, who went to the other front line.
Reisen
So... what about Lord Tsukuyomi and Lady Chang'e?! Are the two of you in supreme command now?
???
You are not wrong. But you are not completely right either.
Reisen
You... It can't be...!
Junko
My name is Junko. A sagacious spirit and a sworn enemy of Lunarians. Now, however, we are fighting hand in hand.
Junko
Well, then, let us talk about the upcoming fight. Lunarians, moon rabbits... and you, knower of the future.
The Oracle
(So Miss Junko's barrier keeps this place fairly safe...)
Junko
The condensation of impurities caused by space compression is akin to purification, so I created an anti-cleansing barrier.
Junko
But this is only a temporary measure. The front line will soon reach this place and change it into a battleground.
Junko
...
Junko
...Hehe. In the world you've come from, it is unlikely for me to fight for the moon, is it not?
No, I just... think this is incredible.
Junko
I am barely able to believe it myself. However, many things change in the face of the inevitable.
Junko
I may have had some kind of realization when I lost Chang'e, but there's no way to word it without making it sound vulgar.
Junko
Purified flames of hatred still burn within me. That is exactly why I must confront this incident.
Junko
As Reisen informed you earlier...
Junko
Reimu came here while Reisen was out on her mission.
Junko
She tried her best, but she was unable to halt the advance of the incident. Lunarians were backing her up.
Junko
In short, they tried to use Reimu to solve the problem, but their attitude changed when she was engulfed.
(Reimu lost...? And right at the start?!)
Junko
I am not certain, but this might have been Tsukuyomi's intention.
Junko
The sages, the sinner Chang'e, and even Tsukuyomi stood against the front line. It all happened not too long ago.
Junko
Of course, how Lunarians feel is beyond my comprehension. What I do know is that they desire to protect the moon.
Junko
I felt bitter when I saw them defend this place. Only sages did anything to repel the attack I launched with Hecatia.
Junko
But what truly piques my interest now is the real reason behind your coming here... to the world of the past.
I don't know either...
Junko
Hm. Indeed, you probably do not. I can tell there is no point in asking you.
Junko
Assuming that what you have said is true, this great incident can be solved as long as we find the so-called Lost Word.
Junko
However, you are unable to determine what said missing word is right now. Is that correct?
Yes... The word just won't come out of my mouth...
Junko
Not naming something to bind it, but rather finding its name to retrieve it. Similar yet different from my power...
I'm sorry... I don't really understand it myself.
Junko
Of course you do not. If you did, there would be no missing word.
Junko
In any case, if you are not here to resolve the incident, why in the world did your Doremy send you here?
Junko
Or maybe... it was not Doremy. Either way, I now have a rough picture of the events.
What can you make out of this?
Junko
The answers are likely to be found in the letter carried by Reisen. ...That is also what you think, is it not?
Toyohime
Oh, I was hoping you wouldn't notice.
Yorihime
That's why I said we should go, but you just had to listen...!
Junko
Easy now. I was going to talk about our strategy for the final battle anyway. ...To you rabbits, too.
Ringo
The time has come, huh...? Well, we've made it this far, so I won't give up now.
Seiran
I want to hear what the strategy is first.
Reisen
And I'm here so I can pass this strategy down to earth. I'll be on my way as soon as you fill me in on the details.
Reisen
We had the cart come before the horse, but a-anyway, here's the message from earth!
Junko
A letter signed by the Sage of Gensokyo and the Brain of the Moon. And I am the first to open it, huh...
Junko
...Oh? What have we here?
Reisen
Wh-What does it say?
Junko
Pffft... Hahaha! How interesting! You truly amaze me, Sage of Gensokyo! And so do you, Brain of the Moon!
Reisen
Ugh! I want to know what's inside!
Junko
Hahaha! ...Oh, pardon me. I think you should all read it for yourselves.
Toyohime
O-Oh my...!
Junko
First, the Brain of the Moon addresses this letter to none other than me. Can you believe it? She predicted this.
Yorihime
Lady Yagokoro is incredible...!
Junko
And the Sage of Gensokyo... Yukari Yakumo. At a glance, they seem to be suggesting some magical measures...
Junko
"A theory that the incident is caused by a missing word." "A plan to summon one from a parallel world to resolve it."
Junko
Both theories converge on one point―PLAYER! Though they do not mention her name.
Junko
Meaning that PLAYER and Yukari are not yet acquainted.
Junko
Which is logical, as it may change in the future.
Junko
And you, PLAYER, came here... to prove it.
I can't believe Miss Yukari was able to forecast it all.
Junko
Yukari wrote many other intriguing things. About you coming from the future, for instance.
Junko
"This letter cannot be delivered to you conventionally, as the situation has deteriorated faster than expected..."
Junko
"The messenger may not be able to return to the moon. Thus, interference from outside this world is necessary."
Junko
"It will probably be myself from the future, or someone who possesses a roughly equivalent power and similar will."
Junko
"I need the information from the moon in order to change my hypothesis into a proper theory on how to overcome this."
Junko
"My future self, or one with powers, should know this. Thus, they must know how to address the situation in the past."
Toyohime
"So worry not. Gather as much information as possible and send it to earth." ...Hmm. Well, that is Yukari for you.
Yorihime
Or you could say, it's the tenacity of a Gensokyo bereft of Reimu.
Junko
This is the height of sophistry. I have never seen something so dubious. ...Which is exactly why its tenacity touched me.
Junko
Should we abandon the moon and descend to earth? Or should we stay here until the very end?
Junko
I was unable to decide, but there is no longer any reason to hesitate.
Junko
Our final battle will soon begin. We will contain the front line of the incident as long as we can...
Junko
...and record all the information. Then, we will send it all to Gensokyo!
Yorihime & Toyohime
No objections here. I agree.
Seiran
Investigating and recording is our forte. Leave this to Ringo and me!
Ringo
The problem is how to send it to earth? Do we have a suitable medium?
Reisen
...Ah! I almost forgot! I received this in addition to the letter.
Toyohime
Wh-What... is it?
Yorihime
A crystal? Or maybe something manufactured?
Junko
Oh, I am astounded... This is a recording medium of the highest density.
Yorihime & Toyohime
...!
Junko
The Seal Crystal PLAYER told us about. At the very least, it may be used for our purpose.
I see...! I didn't know it could record things!
Junko
I do not know what else the Seal Crystal is capable of. So this is the ground for Yukari's hypothesis...
Toyohime
Let's set that Seal Crystal as the recipient of the information to be recorded.
Yorihime
And we should give it to Reisen, who will return to Earth. Reisen, see to it that Lady Yagokoro and the sage receive it.
Reisen
Roger!
Reisen
(Will they be able to analyze the data with earth's technology? Never mind, I should focus on my mission.)
Er, what should I―
Junko
You have played your part. You should be able to return to your world soon. You can accompany Reisen until then.
Junko
You should hurry and leave this place.
...Understood.
Seiran
We'll back you up till you get away from the moon!
Ringo
We'll guard the rear, so focus on what's in front of you!
Reisen
I will... stay here and fight beside the princesses!
Reisen
PLAYER... This is where our paths part. I hope we'll meet again someday in the future!
Me too. See you again... someday!
Toyohime
Leave the present to us.
Yorihime
In return, we entrust the future to you and those in Gensokyo.
Junko
The way Doremy opened will close soon. You and Reisen have to depart before it does.
Junko
Fly, messenger from the future!
Reisen
Let's go, PLAYER!
All Nightmares End
Yukari
Right before you passed out for a short while...
Yukari
I brought a red Seal Crystal. I mentioned that it was the one Reisen brought from the moon. Do you remember?
Now that you mention it...!
Yukari
I told you I needed you to go back to this world's past to help me make contact with the moon―
Yukari
―because this crystal containing the information from the moon wouldn't respond when anyone else touched it.
Yukari
I explained the situation up to this point and sent you there...
Yukari
But I never expected that dream eater to ruin everything and expose you to danger!
But it seemed like Miss Doremy had her reasons.
Yukari
Yes, she did. That's precisely why I'm concerned.
Yukari
I've already reported the outcome to the Yukari from your world. She will probably ask Doremy about that.
Yukari
The truth will eventually be revealed. You need not worry about a single thing.
Yukari
This test was supposed to be absolutely safe too...
Yukari
...Ah, I shouldn't say such things.
Yukari
I'm hoping for your cooperation in the future as well. Not just with me, but also with my other selves―
Yukari
―every time a red Seal Crystal is found.
Yukari
This isn't safe by any means. I daresay it's extremely dangerous.
Yukari
After all, it is possible for entities other than myself to interfere with journeys that begin with the Seal Crystal.
Yukari
Doremy isn't a real problem, but we can't rule out the possibility that the true culprit may interfere.
Yukari
Your life will be at risk. Still, can I count on your help?
(Of course I'll help you!)
(I have to if I want to go back home...!)
Yukari
You don't have to answer.
Yukari
Even if you refuse, I―WE will only come and ask you again.
Yukari
In any case, we discovered something new this time.
Yukari
The red Seal Crystals in the parallel worlds are capable of moving along the axis of time.
Yukari
To return from the place you were thrown to, you need to play your part, rather than resolve the whole incident.
Yukari
Just like you were the mysterious shikigami user this time.
Yukari
You cannot retrieve the Lost Word in the pasts you travel to.
Yukari
It won't hurt to keep this in mind. We'd better share it with the Yukari of your world.
