Lossy's Journal

Eirin

Sorry for calling you here out of the blue, PLAYER. I need your help.

Eirin

Eientei has been seeing a lot of patients of late, and as a doctor, I cannot turn a blind eye to this.

Eirin

I want to spread awareness about staying healthy during summer. So I've decided to create a promotional film.

I think that's a really great idea!

Eirin

I'm glad to hear that. And so I was hoping you could help me film it.

Eirin

This is the camera I purchased from the kappa. I want you to use this and be the camerawoman. Can you do that?

You can count on me!

Eirin

Hehe. That's very reassuring. Now, let me introduce you to everyone who will be working on the film with us.

Eirin

Come on in.

Mysterious Shadow

Teehee. Did someone call for the Nocturnal Devil of Scarlet? The Scarlet Devil, born from the darkness of night...!

Remilia

The Eternally Young Scarlet Moon has arrived! It's me, Remilia Scarlet!

Huh?! Remilia?!

Remilia

Good. Very good, PLAYER. That is exactly the kind of reaction I was looking for.

I was so sure it would be Reisen...

Eirin

That would have been the simplest way to go, but...

Eirin

As I mentioned earlier, the summer flu has been going around. So I've sent Udonge out to sell medicine.

Remilia

You don't need to worry. The great Remilia is here to help, so victory will undoubtedly be ours!

Eirin

It's not like we're fighting against something...

It's rare to see Remilia help someone like this.

Remilia

Well, honestly, helping other people isn't really my cup of tea. But I can make an exception for "that."

Remilia

I hope you haven't forgotten about my payment.

Eirin

Of course, not. You've been asking me for it for such a long time... I have plenty of "that" waiting for you when we finish.

Remilia

Hehehe... HA HA HA! I'll help out as much as you want if it means I'll receive "that"!

Eirin

Heehee. That'll be great.

I'll just pretend like I didn't hear any of that.

Eirin

OK, we now have our camerawoman, and all the actresses are here... But we need to do something about our clothes.

Remilia

Oh, why? Do you not like my dress?

Eirin

I think it's lovely. But is it suitable for a medical environment? I don't think so...

Eirin

And that's why I ordered some wonderful costumes from Kourindou! Let's change into them.

Remilia

Hmm, costumes from that store... I suppose the quality will be good then.

Remilia

All right, I'll go put this on.

I wonder what the costumes look like!

Eirin

Yes, this is good! The size is perfect. I wouldn't expect anything less from the owner of Kourindou.

Remilia

Who would've thought that a vampire like me would dress as a nurse...?

This outfit enhances your skilled doctor aura, Miss Eirin!

You look like an angel of health care, Remilia!

Eirin

Y-You think so? I don't think it's all that different from my everyday clothing, though...

Remilia

It's a little embarrassing to have you stare at me like that... I won't be able to relax until I get used to it.

Eirin

But we don't have time to waste. We'll start filming immediately after we finish the afternoon medical checkups.

Remilia

That sounds like a pretty tough schedule. But I'm sure it won't be a problem.

Remilia

Because there aren't any patients that this Angel... I mean, this Devil of Health Care can't cure!

Aaaah! Don't swing the IV stand around!

Remilia

Heehee. Flan also seems to be excited.

Your Flandre doll is going to get dizzy!

Eirin

I'd prefer it if my helpers weren't responsible for increasing the number of patients. But I appreciate the enthusiasm.

Remilia

No one can stop me now! Come on! Let's give this our all!

Narration

A loooooong, long time ago, there were two girls who were the best of friends.

Kaguya

Hey! Come on! Let's go out and play!

Tewi

Yay, OK. What do you want to play?

Kaguya

I'm thinking we could dig lots of pitfall traps around Mokou's place! Pits so deep they reach the Palace of the Earth Spirits!

Tewi

Whoooa! That sounds really fun!

Narration

The girls always played together and lived a happy life, but...

Tewi

Phew, I'm tired from all that digging. Now there are more holes here than on the surface of the moon!

Kaguya

I'm tired too. Let's go inside and have some snacks to freshen up.

Tewi

Ah, wait! You need to properly wash your hands and gargle after playing outside!

Kaguya

Huh? That's too much work, so I'll pass. Let's quickly go inside and eat some manju.

Tewi

No, but... Umm, I'll join you after properly washing my hands and gargling.

Kaguya

Gosh, you're such a worrywart. You better hurry, or I'll eat your share too.

Narration

One of the girls really disliked washing her hands and gargling. She always ate her snacks without washing her dirty hands.

Kaguya

Ow... Aaaah... It hurts so much!

Tewi

Hang in there, Kaguya!

Kaguya

I can't believe I caught a cold...

Tewi

Don't die! You promised that we'd dig pitfall traps together!

Kaguya

If I knew this would happen... I would have washed my hands and gargled properly... *collapse*

Tewi

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Narration

And this was how the little girl finally realized her mistake after falling prey to illness...

Kaguya

Wait a minute! Stop!

Kaguya

Stop! I said stop! Stop shooting! Right now!

Eirin

What's wrong all of a sudden? You were performing with such enthusiasm just a second ago.

Kaguya

I so was not! You said I would get to play the role of a terminally ill patient, but I died with no build-up whatsoever!

P-Please calm down. We're still shooting...

Eirin

I'll listen to your complaints later. Let's just finish this first.

Kaguya

F-Fine. I'll watch till the end...

Eirin

All right, let's resume shooting.

Remilia

Oh, no! This is terrible! So this is what happens when you don't wash your hands and gargle properly!

Eirin

Yes, that's right! It's very important to develop a habit of washing your hands and gargling.

Remilia

Does that mean we can stay healthy if we do that every day?

Eirin

No, unfortunately, that's not how it works. But if you don't do it properly, you'll be more susceptible to falling sick.

Eirin

Gargling keeps the oral cavity clean, but it can't destroy viruses or pathogens.

Eirin

And gargling doesn't just clean by physically washing your mouth―it also helps reactivate any dried ciliated cells...

Remilia

Hm? What?

Eirin

Ciliated cells are present deep inside the throat... *ramble* *ramble* *ramble*

Kaguya

Aw, come on! Cut! CUUUUT!

Kaguya

It's getting even worse! You're blathering on too much! That explanation is too lengthy!

Eirin

I thought it was a satisfactory explanation...

Kaguya

As if! Tewi! Please tell her I'm right!

Tewi

Hmm. I do think the script is a little problematic... but I don't really care as long as I get to be in the spotlight.

Tewi

I've practiced a lot for this shoot. Like a celebrity would!

Yes. You performed very well!

Tewi

Right?! So, Princess, can you please stop complaining and let the shoot continue?

Kaguya

Argh, shut up! If you really want to continue shooting, then at least switch my role with Tewi's!

Tewi

Yikes! I think I should probably get out of here! Bye!

Kaguya

Hey! Wait! I won't let you get away!

Eirin

We're not done shooting... Gosh, those two never change.

Eirin

But what's wrong with my script?

Remilia

First off, I think that explanation was too long. Maybe you should keep it simple and only explain the important parts.

Maybe just encourage washing hands and gargling?

Eirin

That's no good! Washing hands and gargling may seem simple, but there is actually quite a lot to them!

Remilia

She seems to be triggered...

Eirin

Heehee. I know. This is a good opportunity, so I'll show you the correct way to wash your hands and gargle!

Eirin

Come on! Let's have a battle of bullets!

Why do we need to battle?!

Eirin

A simple explanation might not suffice, so I'll explain it through something we're all familiar with―a battle of bullets.

Remilia

I don't mind battling you, but will that really help us understand how to wash our hands and gargle correctly?

Eirin

Of course, it will. And to begin with, washing hands and gargling are, *ramble* *ramble* *ramble*

Remilia

Let's begin! I want to start the battle right this instant!

Remilia

If you win, I'll listen to your boring explanation!

Eirin

I wasn't done talking... Why won't you listen to my explanations?

Remilia

I'd listen if your explanations were more to the point. Sum it up in two lines or less.

Eirin

OK. You must wash your hands properly with soap to disinfect them, and you must gargle several times, not just once.

Eirin

If nothing else, you should remember these two things.

Remilia

Oh, now that was very easy to understand! You should've just explained it like that, to begin with.

I now understand how to wash my hands and gargle!

Eirin

Explaining things to others is difficult, isn't it? I'll try to keep things more simple from now on.

Remilia

I now understand how to wash my hands and gargle properly. And I also understand the importance behind them.

Remilia

So let's try it out.

Luckily, there's a washbasin right here.

Remilia

OK, so first you must wet your hands with water. Then use soap to scrub them...

Remilia

It's important to wash between the fingers too, and not just the palms... Oh dear, my long nails are making this difficult.

Eirin

Bacteria can easily accumulate under the nails. Don't forget to keep them clean.

Remilia

OK, I've finished washing my hands. Now let me try gargling.

Here, use this cup.

Remilia

Why, thank you. *gargle* *gargle* *gargle* *spit*!

Remilia

*gargle* *gargle *gargle* *spit* *gargle* *gargle* *spit*! Is this enough?

Eirin

Excellent! If you wash your hands and gargle like you just did, you're good to go!

Remilia

I thought it'd be troublesome, but it wasn't. I feel refreshed like I've gone for a nighttime walk under a full scarlet moon.

Remilia

We need to get many more people to experience this invigorating feeling.

Eirin

It's quite a surprise to hear you say that. Hehe. It makes me really happy.

Kaguya

Eiiiiiiriiiiiiiiin...

Tewi

*sob*...

Eirin

Oh, it looks like our two actresses have returned...

Kaguya

*sob* I'm so cold... and I feel really sick...

Tewi

My head is spinning... and my throat hurts...

Remilia

They don't look too good.

They seem to be sick.

Eirin

What a realistic performance! I'm glad to see that the princess has changed her mind!

Remilia

Huh?! No, it really doesn't look like a performance...

Eirin

They've even changed their complexion to look like they're sick. This will make for a very realistic promotional film!

I don't think they're acting...

Eirin

Everyone seems to be ready, so shall we resume filming? I'll overlook how we now have two patients instead of just one.

Kaguya

*shiver* *shiver* *shiver*

Tewi

*quiver* *quiver* *quiver*

Remilia

Is it really OK to start filming like this?

Eirin

Come on! Roll camera!

Eirin

Let's do our best to match the enthusiasm of our actors! Let's start from the washing hands and gargling scene!

Kaguya

Aaaaaah... help...

Tewi

It hurts...

Remilia

Eirin doesn't seem to be listening... Just hang in there a little while longer! We'll get this over with soon!

Kaguya

Eirin, please... help us already...

Tewi

I can't take it anymore... *collapse*

Eirin

D-Don't tell me they're really sick?! What have I done?! How could I have made such a mistake?!

Hurry! We need to help them!

Remilia

Can't you make some medicine for them?

Eirin

Yes, I'll do that right away. Let me just mix the ingredients...

Eirin

And voila! The medicine for your symptoms is ready!

Remilia

Wow! You made it in such a short time! Impressive!

Take your medicine! Quickly!

Kaguya

It looks bitter, but I guess I have no choice... *gulp* *gulp* *gulp*

Tewi

Yuck, it's so bitter... *gulp* *gulp* *gulp*

Remilia

How do you feel?

Kaguya

I'm all better!

Tewi

I'm full of energy!

Remilia

That was fast!

Eirin

Of course! It's my medicine, after all.

Kaguya

Thank you, Eirin. You saved me.

Tewi

I've realized the value of maintaining good health... I'll make sure I wash my hands and gargle properly henceforth!

Kaguya

I agree. I don't want to feel that sick ever again.

Eirin

I'm happy you've learned the importance of washing your hands and gargling, but how did you get sick so suddenly?

Remilia

You were both fit as fiddles earlier...

Kaguya

Well... uh...

Tewi

The princess was chasing after me, and then...

Eirin

Wait a minute! Where did all these zombie fairies come from?!

Remilia

We're completely surrounded. I guess that leaves us no choice but to fight them.

Eirin

OK. We'll listen to what the princess and Tewi have to say once we're done.

Remilia

There are so many of them. This is going to be troublesome.

Eirin

Yes, they have us severely outnumbered. But where did they all come from?

Remilia

By the way, did you know that zombie fairies are just ordinary fairies cosplaying as zombies?

Eirin

Really? I never knew that.

Remilia

Well, it doesn't really matter if they're alive or dead since I'm not going to go easy on them either way!

Remilia

We've taken care of most of them.

Eirin

Now we can hear what the princess and Tewi have to say.

Remilia

Yes, let's... *sneeze*

Remilia

I feel kind of cold... Let's wash our hands and gargle properly first.

Eirin

We managed to get rid of the zombie fairies. Now, let's hear what you have to say.

Kaguya

Um... I think it happened when I finally caught up to Tewi after chasing her...

Tewi

EEP!

Kaguya

Heh heh heh. I finally managed to catch you. Now you will switch roles with me.

Tewi

*sob* But I practiced so much...

Kaguya

Why are you so enthusiastic about your role...? Oh?

Kaguya

I've been seeing these zombie fairies everywhere today. They keep fluttering here and there.

Tewi

*slowly sneaks away*...

Kaguya

There's something very fishy going on here. Why are there so many? And where did they all come from?

Tewi

Just a little bit further...

Kaguya

What?! When did you?! Grrr! Stop running away!

Tewi

Argh! She noticed already?!

Kaguya

Hey, stop! You can't escape!

Tewi

Eeeeeeeeep!

Kaguya

I'm going to catch you once again and... huh?! What's that?!

Kaguya

A swarm of zombie fairies?! There are so many that I can't even go through or around them!

Tewi

They've also blocked off my escape route...!

Kaguya

Argh! This is so annoying! I guess I'll just have to blow them away with a Spell Card... ah... ah... ACHOO!

Kaguya

Ugh... what was that all of a sudden...? I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine...

Tewi

My head... kind of hurts... Owwww!

Kaguya

This is no time to be running and chasing! We need to hurry and get back to Eirin...!

Tewi

Aaah... I'm starting to feel weaker by the second... Save me, Princess...!

Kaguya

Hang in there, Tewi! I'm sure Eirin can help us!

Kaguya

...That's what I believed, but when we came back here, you thought we were acting and forced us to battle instead.

Eirin

Urk...!

Kaguya

Hehe, I'm just kidding. Don't worry about it. Rather, I want to thank you for treating us.

Tewi

Speak for yourself! I'm still holding a grudge! I demand double dessert tonightー

Eirin

Should I also give you an injection, just in case?

Tewi

No, I won't demand anything, so please spare me the injection...!

Remilia

It's amazing how fast your behavior can change...

Kaguya

I've learned my lesson. I don't want to catch a cold ever again, so I'll try to always wash my hands and gargle properly.

Tewi

It's a bit of a pain, but it's way better than falling ill. I think I've learned the importance of washing hands and gargling.

Kaguya

So we'll go wash our hands and gargle right now. Can you wait to resume the shoot until after we're done?

Eirin

Sure, I don't mind.

Remilia

And they both left...

Um, I'm worried about something they said...

Remilia

You're talking about the sudden appearance of the zombie fairies, right? I'm also confused about that.

Eirin

Zombie fairies are just fairies cosplaying as zombies, right? It's highly unusual to see them in such large numbers...

Eirin

Perhaps there's an imbalance in nature. Maybe that triggered the fairies and caused them to fly all over the place.

Remilia

That makes sense. An increase in the number of fairies would lead to an increase in fairies cosplaying as zombies.

Remilia

We should've caught at least one of the fairies we defeated earlier. That might've given us some more information.

Perhaps we can find some more around here?

Eirin

Maybe... I'll go look for some zombie fairies...

???

AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Eirin

Huh? What was that scream?

???

HELP MEEEEEEE!

That voice sounds very familiar!

Remilia

It came from somewhere over there!

Eirin

It sounds like an emergency. Let's go help right away!

Remilia

*sigh* I guess there's no other option. I'll take the lead! Everyone, follow me!

Eirin

The scream came from around here, but this place is swamped with zombie fairies, and I can't see past them all.

Remilia

If only they'd scream again, then we'd be able to get a more accurate sense of their location...!

???

AAAAAAH! STOOOOOOOOOP IT! THAT TICKLEEEEEEEEES!

That scream... sounded really close!

Eirin

Look... I think it's coming from over there...

Yoshika

SOMEBODY! PLEASE HEEEEELP!

Remilia

Isn't she... that jiang shi girl? Why are the zombie fairies attacking her?

Eirin

I don't know, but she might be in danger with so many fairies attacking her at once.

We need to help her right away!

Eirin

You're right. Um, Miss Jiang Shi? Please hang on a little while longer. We're here to help you.

Yoshika

Phew! Finally, help is―Uaaah! Stop pulling meeeeee!

Remilia

We said we'd help, but there are too many fairies here. Especially around the one we're trying to help...

Eirin

That's true. Then I guess "that" is our only option!

Yoshika

Do whatever you have to, but please help me already!

Eirin

All right! Prepare for a battle of bullets then!

Yoshika

Huh?! A battle of bullets?!

Remilia

Heehee... I was waiting for this! I don't know anything about medicine, but I sure am good at battle of bullets therapy!

Eirin

OK then, let's start treating this problem with a dose of bullets.

Yoshika

Stooop! Don't grab me like that! Stay away! AAAAAH!

Remilia

Gosh! Stop struggling! We can't target the fairies if you keep going wild!

Eirin

It's not uncommon for patients to struggle during a procedure.

Remilia

What should we do?

Eirin

Nothing. We'll just continue with the procedure as planned. This might sting a bit, so please bear with it.

Yoshika

No way! Making it sound like an injection doesn't make it any better!

Remilia

I see it's time for my Gungnir Injection! Here comes the thick needle!

Yoshika

NOOOOOOO!

Yoshika

*huff* *huff*...

Eirin

Procedure complete. We managed to get rid of the zombie fairies.

Are you OK, Yoshika?

Yoshika

I somehow survived, thanks to you guys. The injection was scary, but I'm grateful!

Remilia

I see you've finally calmed down. It took a while because you were struggling so much.

Eirin

It must have been scary, so you can't really blame her for struggling. But how did you end up in that situation?

Yoshika

I was running an errand for Seiga when I saw zombie fairies around here for some reason.

Yoshika

I'm a zombie myself, so I thought I should go greet them. But the moment I got closer...

Remilia

Well, fairies do love pranks. They probably just tried to surprise you when you carelessly approached them.

Yoshika

Grrrr...! I trusted them, and they betrayed me! This is unforgivable! I'll show them the next time we meet!

By the way, are you feeling all right, Yoshika?

Yoshika

Huh? I've never felt better! My joints are also much less stiff than usual!

Remilia

I've never heard someone use the stiffness of their joints to judge how fit they feel...

Eirin

The princess and Tewi fell sick after running into the zombie fairies. So it wouldn't be strange if you got sick too, but...

Remilia

She's a jiang shi, so maybe she just can't tell if she's sick or not?

Yoshika

Grrr! Don't make fun of me! As you can see, I'm in perfect shape today!

Remilia

Wow, I can't believe you were screaming just a while ago. Your arms can really bend at unbelievable angles!

Yoshika

Look! Isn't this impressive?! I can even bend them some more... Ah!

Remilia

Whoa?! Are you sure it's safe to bend them like that?!

Yoshika

It doesn't hurt at all... Hahaha.

Eirin

Is there really no connection between the zombie fairies and people falling sick...? No, we can't assume that just yet.

Eirin

I think we need to gather more information.

Eirin

Oh, wow. There are still so many zombie fairies around. No, really... where are they all coming from?

Remilia

If they keep multiplying so fast... then they'll soon flood all of Gensokyo.

Yoshika

Grrr! I haven't forgotten what you guys did to me earlier! It's time for payback! I'll eat you up! *CHOMP*

Remilia

Huh?! Is she serious?!

Yoshika

*chomp* *chomp* Huh?! They're yummy! I'll have another!

Eirin

I don't think this problem can be solved like that...

Eirin

I think the zombie fairies ran off in a panic because you started biting them...

Yoshika

Hmph... I haven't finished taking my revenge yet!

Eirin

Hey, would you be willing to accompany us? I feel like we might be able to sort things out with your help.

Yoshika

I don't really get what's going on, but if you're in trouble, I'll help you!

Yoshika

I put on these clothes like you asked me to. Does it look OK?

Eirin

It's perfect! You look good in them.

You look fresh in that outfit, Yoshika.

Remilia

It's odd to use the word "fresh" to describe a jiang shi. But I have to admit that she does look adorable in it.

Yoshika

F-Flattery will get you nowhere!

Whoa! Why do you have a chainsaw?!

Yoshika

AAAAH! I can't stop it! Get out of the way!

Remilia

Eep! Th-That's dangerous! You almost turned me into a half vampire!

Don't you mean half a vampire?!

Remilia

Why did you give her such a dangerous thing?! I've never heard of a nurse with a chainsaw!

Eirin

Chainsaws were actually used for surgeries in the past. Sometimes you have to get rough to save a patient's life.

Yoshika

Oh! I was wondering why you made me change clothes. So it's for medical reasons!

Eirin

Yes, that's right. We're going to start making house calls.

Yoshika

What's a house call?

Eirin

We don't know why, but there's been a surge in the number of zombie fairies. And it seems they have caused people to fall ill.

Eirin

That's why I think we should go around Gensokyo to see if there are any other zombie fairy victims.

Remilia

Going around treating victims might even help us find the root cause of the problem.

Yoshika

Oh, so that's why we're dressed as nurses. OK! I understand now!

But weren't you running an errand, Yoshika?

Yoshika

Yeah, but Seiga said it wasn't urgent... And I also kinda feel like this is more important.

Yoshika

Don't hesitate to ask if you need my help! Besides, I need to get back at those zombie faires for what they did!

Eirin

I see you're still holding a grudge... But I suppose it only makes sense after everything they put you through.

Yoshika

I'm OK with helping you guys... but I still can't get used to these clothes...

Eirin

Hmmm... then how about we have a battle of bullets?

Remilia

Where did that come from?!

Eirin

Moving around in clothes is the best way to test them out, so a battle of bullets will help your body get used to the clothing.

Yoshika

Yeah! That makes sense. OK! Bring it on!

Eirin

It's decided then. Let's begin the battle of bullets!

Eirin

Good job. You move well in your nurse uniform. You even handled the chainsaw like a professional!

Remilia

How is handling a chainsaw like a pro of any use... or well, maybe it is to you.

Yoshika

You were right. I don't feel self-conscious anymore after all that moving around. Now I can go anywhere in this costume!

OK, let's head out if everyone is good to go.

Eirin

I'm sure there are others in trouble because of the zombie fairies. Let's hurry and go help them!

Remilia

That's fine and all, but where do you propose we go first? I hope you realize that zombie fairies are all over Gensokyo.

Eirin

Of course, our first destination has to be―

???

Hey! I finally found you!

Eirin

Hm? Who's that...?

Tojiko

So this is where you are. I've been looking everywhere for you.

Eirin

You're the ghost from the Divine Spirit Mausoleum... What's wrong? Why do you look so frantic?

Tojiko

Where do I begin? I urgently need a doctor's help, so I've come to see you.

Yoshika

That sounds serious. Why don't you tell us your problem in more detail?

Tojiko

OK, I'll tell you everything.

Tojiko

It happened just some ten minutes ago. I was heading toward Myouren Temple along with Lady Taishi and Futo...

Tojiko

It's completely dark now. But the night breeze is kind of cold, and it feels good.

Miko

Yes, now that you mention it... It's been extremely hot lately, but it's very cool tonight.

Futo

Verily. 'Tis surely a reward for mine consistent virtuous deeds.

Tojiko

Seriously? Didn't Lady Taishi just scold you for stealing her snacks?

Futo

I-I merely saved the taiyaki from going stale! The taiyaki beggedst me to consume it...

Miko

Futo. It seems I went too easy on you.

Futo

*sob* I'm sorry!

Tojiko

Argh, why are you always so...? Huh? What's that?

Miko

A lot of fairies have gathered here for some reason. And they are all wearing strange clothes.

Futo

I have heard tell of this. They art zombie fairies―fairies who masquerade as zombies or some such.

Tojiko

What are they doing here? They're kind of creepy...

Futo

I shall go investigate. And I might cause them a liiiiiiittle fright while I'm at it.

Tojiko

Hey! You shouldn't... *sigh* I was too slow.

Miko

Futo's love for pranks is quite troublesome. I'll scold her again later... Huh?

Futo

*sob* Lady Taishi...

Miko

Futo?! What's wrong? You don't look so good... What happened?

Futo

I suddenly feel so weak...

Miko

She looks pretty sick. Let's hurry to Myouren Temple so that Futo can rest.

Tojiko

She was fine just a moment ago... What happened all of a sudden?

Miko

Tojiko. Go to the Bamboo Forest of the Lost and bring the doctor here. I'll tend to Futo until you return.

Tojiko

All right. I'll go right away. Please take care of Futo while I'm gone.

Tojiko

So that's what happened... I'm sorry to rush you, but could you please come with me?

Yoshika

Zombie fairies in the Myouren Temple cemetery...? Could it be...? No, but...

Hm? Is something the matter, Yoshika?

Yoshika

N-No, it's nothing.

Eirin

Even more victims of the zombie fairies... The danger isn't local anymore. It has become a Gensokyo-wide disturbance.

Tojiko

Zombie fairies? Don't tell me they're responsible for this.

Eirin

We're pretty sure they are since we have already witnessed a similar case.

Remilia

We were planning to go around Gensokyo to warn everyone about them and treat anyone who has fallen ill.

Tojiko

Hmm, yes, everyone should be warned. Futo might not be the only one who is suffering.

Yoshika

That's why I'm also helping.

Right now, we could use all the help we can get.

Tojiko

OK, then I'll help too. But only if you'll allow me―I wouldn't want to get in the way.

Eirin

Of course, you're more than welcome to help. But are you sure that's OK?

Tojiko

I need to thank you for agreeing to help Futo. And if I can help those in need, then I'd be glad to contribute.

Yoshika

Yay! We have another helper!

Eirin

Thank you so much. Well then, I'll go get a matching costume for you. Could you change into it?

Tojiko

D-Do I also have to wear clothes like you all? I don't think it'll look good on me...

Remilia

We don't have any time to waste, so hurry up and change. Come on, we'll help you.

Yoshika

Time to change!

Tojiko

Huh?! W-Wait a minute! Wh-What?!

Remilia

And you're all ready!

Tojiko

I don't think this look is for me...

I'm surprised at how well it suits you!

Yoshika

Yay! Matching nurse outfits!

Tojiko

St-Stop! Y-You're making me blush!

Yoshika

AHAHAhaHAhaHAHAha!

What's with that equipment?!

Eirin

It's a medical device that I kept ready in case of emergencies. But it looks like she'll need some practice to use it properly.

Yoshika

AhahaHAHAhahaHAha!

Eirin

Let's have a battle so Tojiko can get used to the clothes and familiarize herself with how to use the equipment.

Tojiko

I'd appreciate that. A battle of bullets would help me get over my embarrassment as well.

Remilia

The outfit looks good on you. You don't need to feel so embarrassed.

Eirin

Heehee. These kinds of things aren't always logical.

Yoshika

AhahaHAhaHAHAHAHA! I'M TinGLInG ALL OvER!

Tojiko

Great! I think I've got the hang of it! Now I can help you all out without causing any problems.

Yoshika

Phew, it's finally over.

Eirin

OK, everything seems to be fine now, so let's head out. We'll start with Myouren Temple.

Tojiko

Thank you.

Yoshika

...I'm sure that I'm just overthinking it. There's no way that she...!

Kosuzu

Oh nooo... Doctor, where is the doctor? Where is Eientei's doctor...?

Eirin

It sounds like you're looking for me. What's wrong? Do you feel sick?

Kosuzu

The zombie fairies are everywhere... This is bad. The zombie fairies are...

Eirin

She seems to be delirious from a fever... And I don't think she can hear us.

Kosuzu

Oh, no... There are even zombie fairies over here! Leave me alone already!

Eirin

She also seems to have mistaken us for zombie fairies. We need to bring her back to her senses as soon as possible.

Kosuzu

Huh?! Wh-What was I thinking?! I-I'm so sorry!

Eirin

It's OK. Here, take this medicine. I mixed and prepared it according to your symptoms.

Kosuzu

Thank you!

Eirin

And take the appropriate measures if you sweat, or you might catch a cold.

Nemuno

Why are there so many weird folks out and about tonight? They keep comin' one after another. Ain't no end to it.

Yoshika

You look as pale as a jiang shi. You should go home if you're feeling sick.

Nemuno

I'm in the middle of collectin' ingredients. I ain't goin' home yet. Thanks for yer concern, but please dun disturb me.

Yoshika

I'm a nurse right now, so I can't allow you to do that. If you still refuse to go home, then I'll have to battle you!

Nemuno

I'm kinda sleepy after that battle... So I'm gonna head back and rest.

Yoshika

Yes, that would be best.

Eirin

And take this medicine with you. I'm sure you'll feel better after you drink this and get some sleep.

Nemuno

Thanks for all yer help.

Eirin

We ended up taking a little detour, but we're finally here at Myouren Temple.

Tojiko

Let's hurry and go to Lady Taishi. I'm sure she was around here somewhere...

Yoshika

Huh? There's no one here.

Remilia

Are you sure they're here? Perhaps Futo recovered, and they moved somewhere else.

Tojiko

That's not possible... Lady Taishi would never leave me behind...

I can feel some cold air coming from over there...

Eirin

And I think I sense a presence. There is someone deeper in this cemetery.

Tojiko

Lady Taishiiiii! Futooooo! I've brought the Eientei doctor with me!

Yoshika

Wait! Are those zombie fairies over there?!

Yoshika

They seem to be surrounding something in a circle. Could that be...?

Futo

Aaaaah... I feel so feverish. My head doth feel fuzzy...

Miko

Argh... I can't... I feel so tired... and weak...

Tojiko

Don't tell me that even Lady Taishi fell sick while I was away! Are the zombie fairies responsible for this too?!

Tojiko

Please hurry and help Lady Taishi! You can forget about Futo for now!

Yoshika

Whoa! Stop panicking. Just calm down first.

Futo

Grrrr... Tojiko... just thou wait till I get better...!

Miko

Tojiko, why can't you just be honest... I know that you're worried about Futo as well.

Tojiko

Um...! It's not like that... Anyway, please hurry and treat them!

Eirin

All right, but I need to examine them first. I need to check how badly their movements have been affected.

Eirin

If possible, I'd like to do that through a battle of bullets. It will help me find the cause of their poor physical condition.

Futo

Th-Thou wantest us to battle in this condition?! M-Medicine sure is complicated... Very well! I accept thy challenge!

Miko

Me too. I don't know how I'll fair in this condition, but if it's going to help me get better, then I can't exactly refuse.

Eirin

It will be hard but do your best. Well then, can I ask you to be their opponent, Tojiko?

Tojiko

Of course. I know their moves well, so I'll inform you immediately if I notice even the slightest change.

Eirin

Thank you. And please teach them about the importance of washing hands and gargling through your bullets, OK?

Tojiko

Leave it to me. I'll definitely bring them back to health. And I'll do anything to achieve that!

Futo

Wh-What's that scary-looking device?! Thou best not useth it on me...!

Tojiko

Come on! Prepare yourself, Futo!

Futo

*wheeze* *wheeze* I'm at my limit...! I can't even lift a single finger...

Miko

*huff* *huff* I can't believe I'm out of breath after such a simple battle...

Eirin

Hmmm, I see. So that's what it was.

Did you figure out the cause?

Eirin

Yes. Their symptoms make it obvious. I'm absolutely certain that they...

Eirin

...are suffering from summer fatigue.

Fatigued Duo

Huh?

Tojiko

S-Summer fatigue?! Can something as trivial as summer fatigue lead to their condition?!

Eirin

Summer fatigue is anything but trivial. Your health can begin to deteriorate from even the slightest stimulus.

Eirin

Let me give you an example. Did you perhaps consume lots of cold drinks and food to try and beat the summer heat?

Futo

Huh?! Come to think of it... we've only been drinking ramune soda lately...

Miko

We've also been asking the ice fairy to prepare snow cones for us. So yes, we have been consuming a lot of cold things.

Eirin

I knew it. It's not good to consume too many cold drinks or food. It will weaken your digestive system.

Tojiko

So summer fatigue was the reason... OK. Then how do we make them better?

Eirin

They need to eat something easy to digest for a while. Restoring their stamina and treating their stomach comes first.

Eirin

Just in case, I'll make some tonics to soothe your symptoms. I'll mix this with this, and... there! Tonics complete!

Futo

I'll drink anything as long as it maketh me healthy again! Couldst thou alloweth me to drink it now?!

Miko

First, the medical examination, and now this medicine... We owe you one. It looks like this will help us feel better.

Eirin

Just for the record, they are merely tonics, not medicine. So if they don't end up helping much... then hmm...

Eirin

I'll mix up some herbal medicine for you. Don't hesitate to let us know if you need it.

Futo

Thank you, but couldst thee giveth that medicine now? It will undoubtedly work better than the tonics.

Eirin

Perhaps I shouldn't be saying this as a pharmacist, but it's always better if you can recover without relying on medicine.

Miko

I think so too. Thank you once again. We are truly indebted to you.

Futo

Hmph. If only she would giveth me that medicine... Then I could enjoy cold drinks and food to mine own heart's content.

Tojiko

Oh? Then how about we have one more "shocking" battle?

Futo

EEP! Nay! Never again! I'll have cold things only once a week... so prithee forgiveth me!

Tojiko

Good grief. You never learn, do you? But well... I'm glad you're OK.

Futo

Aaaah! That doth feel good!

Miko

I feel much better after having the tonic. Now all I need is a little rest, and I should be right as rain.

Yoshika

Glad to hear it. But don't forget to stay away from the zombie fairies.

Tojiko

They really are everywhere, aren't they? I'm getting sick of seeing them already.

I wonder if everyone at Myouren Temple is OK.

Yoshika

I can't believe they let so many zombie fairies roam around freely. There might be even more fairies closer to the temple.

Remilia

That's quite possible. No one came to investigate all the noise we made, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were all sick.

Eirin

Let's quickly go and check on them. We also need to inform them about what's going on.

Miko

Oh, OK. Then Futo and I shall head to the Youkai Mountain.

Miko

We'll spread the word about the zombie fairies and also share what you taught us about washing hands and gargling.

Eirin

That would be a great help since we're pretty short on hands.

Miko

Tojiko, you should go with them. Make sure you stay with them and help them to the end.

Tojiko

All right. They helped save you, Lady Taishi... so I'll help them and return the favor.

Eirin

We're happy to have an outstanding nurse like yourself on the team. I look forward to working with you.

Tojiko

I can no longer ignore the damage caused by the zombie fairies, so I'll make sure we find the root cause behind this...

Futo

Hmmm... It just dawned on me that mayhaps Myouren Temple is behind all of this...

Yoshika

Huh?! Why do you think that?

Futo

Zombies emerge from cemeteries, no? And look, there art so many zombie fairies hither.

Futo

I wager that Byakuren digs up graves at night to unleash the zombie fairies...

Remilia

But zombie fairies aren't actually zombies...

Futo

L-Lady Taishi, let's leave this instant. I sense that something bad shall befall us if we don't... *shudder*

Tojiko

What's wrong, Futo? Why are you trembling? Don't tell me you're afraid...

Futo

Q-Quiet! Thou art speaking nonsense! I fear only Lady Taishi's rebuke!

Miko

Oh, really...?

Futo

C-Come! Let's hurry to the Youkai Mountain! Tojiko, thee better doeth thy utmost too!

They left in a hurry...

Remilia

Regardless of their motives, I appreciate their prompt action. Now, let's go to Myouren Temple right away.

Yoshika

Is Myouren Temple behind this..? No... I'm sure this is because of... But I...

Eirin

I was worried about what might have happened to everyone at Myouren Temple, and it seems I wasn't worried for nothing.

Byakuren

Aaaah... I feel so sick.

Minamitsu

*sniff*... *sniff* *sniff* My runny nose just won't stop... this is agonizing.

Shou

*huff* *huff* My fever won't break. I'm still sweating... And my throat hurts.

Ichirin

Oh, dear. How did all three of you fall sick at the same time...?

Kyouko

You were all so fit and energetic just a while ago... We need to go and get a doctor right now!

Eirin

A doctor is already here. May I take a look at them?

Ichirin

You're the doctor from Eientei...! Nice timing! Please help them!

Kyouko

Phew. Now they will get better...

Are the two of you all right?

Ichirin

Yes, Hijiri, Shou, and Minamitsu are the only ones who are sick. We're perfectly fine.

Tojiko

Why didn't Kyouko and Ichirin get sick too...? No, I suppose we can worry about that later.

Eirin

First, we need to conduct the usual battle of bullets medical examination.

Yoshika

OK! I'll help too!

Eirin

Thank you. Let's begin the examination!

Eirin

Watching the battle has helped me narrow down the cause of their symptoms.

Eirin

The reason you all fell ill... is surprisingly simple! You caught the summer flu!

Byakuren

S-Summer flu?! No way. I can't fall prey to the summer flu. I follow a strict morning routine to train my body and soul.

Byakuren

I use a dry towel to perform kanpu masatsu and meditate under a waterfall every day. I couldn't possibly catch a cold...

Shou

And we've also been following the same routine as her... How did we all end up catching a cold?

Eirin

I'm impressed by your determination, but overdoing those activities can have the opposite effect.

Ichirin

But Kyouko and I also follow the same practice. So why are we still healthy?

Eirin

Did you two consume something different? Maybe something high in nutritional value, or perhaps something sweet?

Kyouko

Something sweet... Ah, yes. Come to think of it, Ichirin and I did have some sweet mizuame...

Ichirin

AH! That was meant to be a secret...!

Minamitsu

Not the mizuame that Hijiri was looking forward to?! The ultra-limited, high-end mizuame from the one-day special?!

Shou

I even warned you not to eat any because once you have a taste, you won't be able to stop...

Byakuren

Eh... hehe... hehehe. The two of you have some serious explaining to do later.

Kyouko & Ichirin

Eeeeeeeeep!

Eirin

Anyway... I recommend eating mizuame with Chinese quince. It will help prevent colds, and it's also good for your skin.

Byakuren

Good for your skin?! In that case, we need a whole jar of mizuame... no, a whole barrel this instant...!

Eirin

But remember! Anything in excess is bad. Make sure you follow your morning routine and eat mizuame in moderation.

Girls With Big Appetites

OK...

Byakuren

Thanks to your tonic, I'm slowly starting to feel a bit better.

Shou

Thank you for helping us out. We owe you one.

Eirin

I was just doing my job as a doctor. By the way, there's something I want to ask you.

Byakuren

Ask away. I only hope that we can provide you with the answers you seek...

Eirin

Actually, there has been a rapid increase in the number of zombie fairies lately, which seems to be causing a problem.

Minamitsu

Zombie fairies? Come to think of it... I have seen quite a few recently...

Ichirin

They've even been showing up here at the temple every day.

Kyouko

They've been a real bother. As soon as I sweep one outside the temple while I clean, a new one appears to take its place.

Eirin

Hmm, so you also don't know anything about these zombie fairies.

Byakuren

Yes, unfortunately, we don't. I'm really sorry that we can't help you in this matter...

Remilia

Hmmm... I wonder if they are all right...

Is something bothering you?

Remilia

I was just thinking about my Scarlet Devil Mansion. I'm worried that the situation there might be the same as here.

Remilia

Listen. I know I said I'd help you, but can we go check on my mansion?

Eirin

Sure, I don't mind. It's possible that they still haven't heard about what's going on.

Tojiko

Many fairies live in that area, so it's highly likely that there will also be lots of zombie fairies there.

Yoshika

I'll drive away each and every one of them!

Remilia

Hehe, how reliable. In that case, I request that we make the Scarlet Devil Mansion our next destination.

I hope everyone at the mansion is fine.

Remilia

They might not look like it, but they are all pretty strong. They might even be enjoying this.

Eirin

All right then, we're going to head off to the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Byakuren

Oh... I'm sorry that we couldn't even show you our hospitality. But I shall pray for your safety. It's the least I can do.

Eirin

Thank you, and take care of yourself. There are still quite a few zombie fairies over in the cemetery.

Yoshika

Zombie fairies in the cemetery... Are my suspicions correct? But if they are, then what should I do...?

Hm? Did you say something, Yoshika?

Yoshika

N-No, it's nothing. C'mon, let's hurry to the Scarlet Devil Mansion!

Hina

Argh... No matter where I go, there are zombie fairies everywhere. And there's misfortune everywhere too.

Hina

I want to collect the misfortune... but I haven't been feeling too well for some reason.

Tojiko

I heard that. If you're feeling unwell, you should stop exerting yourself and rest.

Hina

I can't afford to rest. I have to collect the misfortune... Owww, my head hurts...

Tojiko

I guess you leave me no choice. Let's have a battle of bullets, and if you lose, you must rest.

Hina

I can't keep going after all. I feel so weak.

Tojiko

Now do you understand? If you don't rest when you're tired, you'll just end up being less efficient.

Eirin

I've prepared a tonic to ease your fatigue. Here, drink this and go take a nap.

Hina

I think that'd be best. I will take you up on your kind offer.

Rumia

Aaaaah... It hurts. It hurts so much. It feels like my tummy is going to explode.

Remilia

Oh, my. That sounds painful. Since it's you we're talking about―it's probably because of food poisoning or overeating.

Rumia

I ate a lot 'cause there's so much delicious food everywhere. There's still a lot left, so I can eat even more, riiiiight?!

Remilia

Are you talking about the zombie fairies? Then it's no wonder that your stomach hurts.

Remilia

I wouldn't care if it was any other day, but right now, I'm a nurse. So I'll stop you with a battle of bullets.

Remilia

Stop eating such things. Even the jiang shi didn't do anything more than bite them.

Eirin

If you upset your stomach, you won't be able to eat delicious food. Drink this medicine and rest until it stops hurting.

Rumia

OK! I'll eat a whooooole lot more of them after my tummy is healed!

Remilia

I think she missed the point...

Remilia

Ah... home sweet home. Somehow, I feel calmer here.

Eirin

This is not the time to get sentimental. We first need to check that everyone in the mansion is all right.

Yoshika

We haven't come across anyone yet... Does that mean that they have also fallen ill?

Yeah, Meiling wasn't at the gate.

Remilia

It's Meiling. She's probably taking a nap somewhere. Nothing new about that.

Tojiko

That doesn't really speak well for her as a gatekeeper... But it also sounds like you sanction her naps...

Patchouli

*wheeze* *huff* *wheeze*... *wheeze*...

Remilia

Oh, no! Patchy?! Don't tell me you're sick too!

Patchouli

Huh? Oh, Remi. Welcome back. What's with your outfit?

Remilia

Heehee, right now, the Scarlet Devil is the Devil of Health Care... Wait, no! This isn't the time for that!

Remilia

Why do you look so pale? Don't tell me that the zombie fairies got you...

Patchouli

Zombie fairies? What are you talking about? And I always look like this.

So you're not sick?

Patchouli

No, I'm as fit as ever. And yet Meiling and Koakuma won't stop chasing me...!

Meiling

Lady Patchouli! We finally found you! You won't get away now!

Koakuma

Please just give up! We're doing this for your own good!

Patchouli

Urk! They've already caught up!

Remilia

Oh, so you're being chased by these two. Meiling, Koakuma, why are you chasing Patchy?

Meiling

M-Milady?! Um, we have a very valid reason for this...

Koakuma

We felt that Lady Patchouli, who never goes outside, might be in danger of catching the flu that's been going around lately.

Meiling

So we asked her to join us for some exercise, but she refused and ran away...

Tojiko

Oh, so that's why you're out of breath.

Patchouli

They should mind their own business! I'm healthy! I won't get sick!

Remilia

Now, now. Calm down. They're just worried about you.

Patchouli

Wh-What's with that sinister smile of yours, Remi?!

It's that face she makes when she's up to something.

Remilia

I'm also veeeery worried about my best friend. I don't want you to fall sick...

Remilia

That's why we're going to have a battle of bullets so I can check whether you're really fit and healthy!

Patchouli

What did you say?!

Remilia

Teehee, so you better prepare yourself, Patchy.

Patchouli

Grrrr...! Fine! Meiling! Koakuma! You two are also going to participate in this battle!

Meiling

Huh?! Why us?!

Patchouli

Isn't that obvious?! You two wanted me to exercise, to begin with. So if I'm being forced to exercise, then you have to help.

Koakuma

Wow, she just went and dragged us into this.

Remilia

I hope you're ready. I'm going to start the battle now!

Remilia

Sorry for the trouble, but I'd like you to examine her.

Eirin

No problem. I was going to do that anyway. There's something not right about her complexion.

Remilia

Great. I'll fight a fierce battle to make your examination easier.

Patchouli

Ahhh... I give up...

Yoshika

That was fast...

Eirin

This is the result of a lack of physical exercise... coupled with a deficiency in vitamin D.

Meiling

I can understand that she needs exercise, but even vitamin D?

Eirin

People tend to be deficient in vitamin D when they don't go out in the sunlight, like when they always stay inside.

Patchouli

Urk...! I suppose it's true that I haven't gone outside even once in the last couple of weeks...

Remilia

I'm amazed that you can just shut yourself up in a dark room without getting any sunlight. I'm supposed to be the vampire.

Remilia

Oh, well. I guess I'll just have to apply the super sunscreen all over me and go on walks with you.

Patchouli

Remi...

Remilia

But it's your job to wake me up in the morning. I'm not a morning vampire...

Patchouli

*giggle*... OK. Going out on a walk with you once in a while doesn't sound so bad.

Eirin

You'll feel better in no time once you take a walk in the sunlight. I just hope that you can make it a routine...

Patchouli

Well, that's not going to happen. Remi is the kind of vampire who gets bored very easily.

Remilia

Ugh! You just had to say that, didn't you?!

Eirin

OK, let's go look for new patients now that we've sorted out the problem at the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

So, where are we headed next...?

Eirin

The Youkai Mountain is already being taken care of... and Udonge should be taking a look around the human village...

What do you think, Yoshika, Tojiko...? Huh?

Eirin

Oh? I don't see them around. Where did they go?

Remilia

Weren't they right behind us just a second ago? I didn't even notice that they had left.

Eirin

Well, this isn't good. Right now, we need as much help as we can get...

???

Oh, what a surprise to see you all here...

Eirin

Huh? Is that really you...?!

Eiki

It's been a while, immortal Lunarian. Oh, the Scarlet Devil Mansion's vampire and PLAYER are here too...

Long time no see!

Eirin

Oh, now I get it. Yoshika and Tojiko disappeared because she was near.

Eiki

Hm? Did you say something?

Eirin

No, I was just thinking out loud. Anyway, what is one of the Yama doing here in Gensokyo?

Remilia

My close friend just stopped being a recluse, so I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't take me to the other world so soon.

Eiki

There seems to be a misunderstanding here. I haven't come to spirit someone away.

Eiki

There has been a minor problem in Higan, so I've come to Gensokyo to investigate.

What problem?

Eiki

Well, it's just that...

Komachi

Hmmm... where did they go? They were right here just a moment ago...

Komachi

*sigh* I'm going to get scolded by Lady Eiki at this rate. Maybe I should just run away while I still have the chance...

Eiki

Oh? Are you going to slack off again?

Komachi

Ahahaha, what a thing to say. I'd never do that. I was just thinking of taking a nap... Wait, what?! Lady Eiki?!

Eiki

I was wondering what was taking you so long to bring me the souls... So is this where you've been loafing around?

Komachi

N-No, you're misunderstanding, Lady Eiki! I was working diligently!

Komachi

But some of the souls that I brought along... suddenly vanished away somewhere!

Eiki

The souls did? That's impossible... is what I'd like to say, but I can see that you're not lying.

Komachi

I'm not! It really was all of a sudden! They just disappeared! I looked away for only a moment, and then they were gone!

Eiki

Maybe you shouldn't have taken your eyes off them... Oh? Komachi, what happened to the rest of the souls?

Komachi

What do you mean...? Oh, no! The number of souls has reduced again?!

Eiki

They vanished while we were talking. I didn't sense anyone around, so does that mean they chose to disappear...?

Komachi

But there are still some souls remaining. Is there any common link between the ones that disappeared...? Ah!

Eiki

Did you figure something out?

Komachi

Yes, Lady Eiki! I figured out the common link between the souls that disappeared! They all loved extremely spicy food!

Eiki

What?

Komachi

The souls were happily talking about it all the way here! They were discussing who likes red peppers and habanero!

Komachi

Maybe the souls who like spicy food all came to Higan at once for some reason and then disappeared together!

Eiki

And? Even if we assume that the souls who disappeared all liked spicy food, how does that help us find them?

Komachi

Um, I guess it doesn't... Aha... haha... hahahaha.

Eiki

Anyway, none of this is normal. I'm going to go to Gensokyo to look for them...

Komachi

I'll keep looking around here!

Eiki

OK, I'm counting on you. Please don't sleep on the job again.

Eiki

And that's why I've come to Gensokyo. But I didn't expect to find this place flooded with so many zombie fairies...

Eiki

Clearly, some conspiracy is at work. That's why I've decided to investigate this personally.

Eirin

I now understand your situation. We are also quite troubled by the swarms of zombie fairies.

Remilia

People have been falling ill because of them. We've been going around giving a helping hand to anyone who needs it.

Eiki

What a wonderful deed. All right then, I'll leave taking care of the victims to you.

Eiki

I need to get back to my investigation. Let me know if you come across any phantoms or vengeful spirits.

Eirin

OK, I'll let you know. I'm sure you also have it tough, but I wish you the best of luck.

Eiki

Thank you. See you later.

What's going on in Gensokyo?

Eirin

There are a lot of mysteries, but our duty remains the same. We need to save as many patients as possible. That's all.

Remilia

Let's get to it then... is what I'd like to say, but Yoshika and Tojiko haven't returned yet.

Eirin

Yes, let's go look for them first.

Tojiko

Phew, I think we should be safe here. The Yama would've spotted us if we had stayed just a moment longer.

Yoshika

Why are we hiding from the Yama? We haven't done anything wrong.

Tojiko

That's not how the Yama see it, though.

Tojiko

Ghosts like me and even jiang shi like you... our existence is illegal, in a sense.

Yoshika

Oh, 'cause we've already died once, right?

Tojiko

Shinigami and the Yama will never allow such beings to exist. That's why even Seiga was targeted in the past.

Yoshika

Yeah, that did happen, didn't it? So is that why we're hiding?

Tojiko

Yes. I hope the Yama goes away quickly... Let's just watch from a distance for now.

Tojiko

From what the Yama said, it seems like she isn't here for us. That's good, but the disappearance of souls is concerning.

Yoshika

Why is she so worried just because some souls went missing? Being the Yama sounds like such a pain.

Tojiko

The Yama distinctly judges everything as right or wrong. She probably can't overlook even a single missing phantom.

Tojiko

Hmm, I wonder if the disappearance of phantoms from Higan is related to the zombie fairy ruckus...

Yoshika

Huh?!

Tojiko

Gensokyo is seeing an increase in zombie fairies since around the same time as the phantoms disappeared from Higan.

Tojiko

Don't you think that's a bit suspicious?

Yoshika

Hmmm...

Tojiko

But it's just a matter of time until everything is resolved now that the Yama is here. I've heard that she is quite resourceful.

Yoshika

Umm, what if... she can't find the phantoms? What will happen then?

Tojiko

Hm? I don't know... maybe she will go after the one who abducted the souls?

Tojiko

Rumor has it that the Yama is pretty scary. I'm sure the culprit will be severely reprimanded.

Yoshika

Oh... so they'll get in trouble...? Then, I'm sure...

Tojiko

What's wrong? You've been acting kind of weird.

Yoshika

What should I do if someone important to me is doing something wrong? Should I... stop them?

Yoshika

But I don't want them to hate me. I don't want to lose my dearest friend...

Tojiko

Hmm... I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I think we should go back to the others first.

Tojiko

We're all friends. If something is bothering you, we can surely talk it out to find a solution.

Yoshika

What should I do...?

Tojiko

Hey! We're here! Sorry we went into hiding!

Eirin

Ah, I knew you hadn't gone far. You were hiding from the Yama, weren't you?

Tojiko

Yes. It's not easy being a ghost. There are some perks, though...

Yoshika

...

Is Yohsika OK? She seems upset.

Remilia

She looked much more energetic earlier. Did something happen while you were hiding?

Tojiko

I don't really understand it myself. We were talking about the Yama, and then she suddenly got depressed...

Tojiko

She didn't tell me much, but I think something is bothering her.

Yoshika

Hm... But, I...

Eirin

Is that so? If you don't mind telling us, we might be able to help you...

Yoshika

I... I don't want to talk about it. If I do, it'll be my fault that my precious friend... my dear friend...

Your dear friend? Are you talking about...?

Yoshika

That's why you all have to stop investigating the zombie fairies!

Eirin

What? What are you saying all of a sudden?

Remilia

If it's a joke, it's a really bad one.

Yoshika

I'm serious! I challenge you all to a battle of bullets!

Eirin

Are you seriously trying to stop us? Don't tell me you know something important about the disturbance.

Yoshika

Enough! Battle me already! If I win, you have to stop investigating!

Eirin

It looks like I guessed it right. You have figured out some secret, and you're trying to hide it from us.

Yoshika

That's...!

Eirin

Sorry, but we can't accept your challenge. We have to uncover the truth no matter what.

Yoshika

Th-Then! I'll tell you everything I know if you win! So please fight me!

Tojiko

What should we do...? I'm more concerned about her than the disturbance right now.

We need to help Yoshika! She's too stressed!

Eirin

Yes, and it'll be a problem if we lose our helpful nurse. We need to win this battle and convince her to let us help.

Remilia

Let me just remind you that you can't choose to go back on your word and keep things to yourself after you lose.

Yoshika

I don't tell lies! You better keep your promise too!

Eirin

We will. Come on. Let's begin.

Tojiko

Hah! How about that?!

Yoshika

*sob* I lost... My body feels so numb, and I can't move properly.

Remilia

You had no chance of beating us with your mind and bullets so full of doubts. Now, tell us everything you know.

Eirin

It might be painful for you to tell us the truth, but please be strong and tell us everything.

Yoshika

OK. Let's go somewhere first. Follow me. I'll tell you everything there.

Eirin

All right.

I hope she's feeling OK.

Eirin

Let's have faith in her. I'm sure that will lead us to all the answers.

Eirin

Why did you take us back to Myouren Temple...? Does this place hold some kind of secret?

Remilia

Why have you brought us all the way here...? Can't you just tell us already?

Tojiko

We're ready for whatever you have to say. So please tell us everything you know.

Yoshika

...

Please, Yoshika!

Yoshika

Those zombie fairies... I'm sure they were created by someone.

Remilia

Someone created the zombie fairies? Who would do such a thing? And why?

Tojiko

Hmm, that would explain why there are so many zombie fairies. Someone must be creating them.

Eirin

Yoshika, when did you realize this?

Yoshika

I started feeling that something was off when I heard that lots of zombie fairies had appeared in Myouren Temple.

Yoshika

Zombie fairies aren't real zombies. And yet so many of them appeared at the cemetery... That means...

Remilia

Are you saying that someone created zombies in the cemetery? But who would do such a thing...?

Yoshika

That's...

Eirin

You know who, don't you? That's why you challenged us to a battle and asked us to stop our investigation.

Yoshika

Urk?!

Eirin

Otherwise, you wouldn't be so desperate. I can see so much pain in your expression...

Eirin

You were so conflicted and honestly concerned. That's why you chose to fight us for your friend.

Eirin

The person you're trying to protect and cover for... the friend you don't want to hurt...

There's only one such person!

Yoshika

Ha... haha... I suck at hiding things, don't I?

Yoshika

Yes. I think the one creating the zombie fairies is probably... Seiga.

Yoshika

I had my suspicions, but I wasn't sure. I wished it wasn't true.

Yoshika

But then I heard that the zombie fairies might be related to the phantoms disappearing from Higan...

Yoshika

If that's really true, and if Seiga is the culprit, then she'll surely be caught by the Yama...

Tojiko

Did you think that the Yama would take her away? Oh, so that's why you were saying all that back then...

Remilia

But is Seiga really the culprit?

Yoshika

Seiga is the only one in Gensokyo who can create zombies. That's why I'm sure the zombie fairies were also her doing...!

Eirin

Unfortunately, that's highly likely.

Yoshika

At this rate, Seiga will be caught by the Yama. I don't want that! Please help me!

Yoshika

I know I'm asking for a lot, especially after I tried to hide this from you all! But I still want to save her!

Of course! You can count on us!

Eirin

Just to be sure, but you want us to stop Seiga, correct?

Yoshika

Yes. We need to stop her and make her apologize to everyone who has suffered because of her actions!

Remilia

Then we have no reason not to help you. We have to make her pay for the ruckus she has created.

Tojiko

We've come this far together, and it's only natural to help a friend in trouble.

Eirin

Then it's decided. We'll all go to stop Seiga together.

Yoshika

You guys... Thank you!

Yoshika

Seiga is somewhere in this cemetery. We need to hurry and find her!

Tojiko

By the way, why is Seiga here in this cemetery?

Yoshika

She once told me that she sometimes looks for materials here. Apparently, this place is full of fresh and lively materials!

Eirin

I suppose fresh materials are also important when making zombies.

Yoshika

She said I'm the best zombie out of all the ones she's made so far! I'm Seiga's masterpiece!

Remilia

You must have been extremely fresh then.

Tojiko

It's almost impossible to look for her with so many zombie fairies around. Let's get rid of them first.

Eirin

The further into the cemetery we go, the more zombie fairies we find. Seiga must be making them here after all.

Tojiko

It looks like we're going to have to fight a lot more zombie fairies.

Remilia

But we were able to get rid of quite a lot of them with that last battle, so we should be able to find Seiga if we keep this up.

Tojiko

We can't let her create any more zombie fairies.

Yoshika

Yeah. Just wait for us, Seiga. We'll stop you no matter what!

Tojiko

It looks like it was a good idea to keep going in the direction that the zombie fairies were coming from.

Remilia

Look over there...!

Seiga

Heehee... Another one. And one more. Arise, my new zombie fairies.

Seiga

Now go spread across Gensokyo, and make sure you fulfill the mission I have given you.

Seiga

Awww, my zombie fairies are so adorable. As long as you exist, I...

Tojiko

It's good that we finally found her, but what on earth is she doing...?

She's sprinkling some powder-like substance...

Eirin

We can ask her about the details directly. But by the looks of it, she really is the culprit...

Yoshika

Seiga! Please stop already!

Tojiko

Hey! Don't rush ahead on your own!

Eirin

Let's go after her!

Seiga

Yoshika?! Why are you here?! I made sure to send you on an errand to keep you away...!

Eirin

We'll be asking the questions. What have you been doing here?

Seiga

Can't you see? I've been creating zombie fairies using this special powder.

Yoshika

I knew it. But I was hoping I'd be wrong...

Tojiko

So you are the one behind this disturbance.

I can't believe that Seiga is actually the culprit...

Seiga

Disturbance? Culprit? Why are you all acting like I'm a villain?

Yoshika

Seiga, please stop this already. I don't want to see you get in trouble.

Seiga

What are you talking about? What have I done to get in trouble?

Yoshika

You've created so many zombie fairies! And because of that, everyone is...!

Seiga

There's nothing wrong with creating zombie fairies! And anyway, I've done all this for you...!

Yoshika

Why are you saying such things?! I just wanted you to...!

Seiga

I was only thinking about you... and yet here you are accusing me...!

Eirin

Wait a minute. It sounds like you two are talking about different things.

Remilia

Yes, it's like we're missing something. Maybe there's a misunderstanding of some sort?

Tojiko

Maybe the two of you should talk it out. I'm sure it will make sense then. So stop fighting and listen to each other.

Seiga

Yes, I don't want to argue with Yoshika. Let's talk it out.

Yoshika

I don't want to fight with you, either. I want to discuss this properly with you.

Tojiko

Then why don't you have a battle of bullets? It will take the weight off your shoulders and calm you down.

Seiga

All right. Are you OK with that, Yoshika?

Yoshika

Yeah. I'm gonna have a battle with Seiga...! You better not think that I'll go easy on you!

Seiga

That's my line. Don't start crying after you lose, OK?

Yoshika

Let's go, Seiga! I'll send my thoughts and feelings to you through this battle!

Yoshika

Arrrgh...?!

Seiga

Haaaa!

Yoshika

I'm gonna lose at this rate...! I can't let that happen!

Seiga

No... it's over. I lose this battle.

Yoshika

Seiga?! Why...?

Seiga

You're so silly. I couldn't possibly go all out with you as my opponent.

Eirin

So that's why you surrendered even though you had the advantage.

Seiga

But I still don't understand! I'm doing this for you, Yoshika, so why are you getting in my way?!

Yoshika

Seiga, I'm the one who doesn't understand. How could creating zombie fairies benefit me?

Seiga

That's...

Tojiko

This discussion will never end unless you tell us that. So please explain it to us.

Please, Seiga!

Seiga

OK, fine... I wanted to make undead friends for Yoshika.

Yoshika

Undead friends for me?!

Yoshika

You wanted me to have undead friends...?

Seiga

Yes. I've been creating zombie fairies for that sole purpose.

Yoshika

But why? I already have lots of friends.

Yoshika

You even made that social club for me where I met lots of nice people.

Seiga

Yes, I know you have many friends. But they are all living beings... they are different from you.

Seiga

They will die someday...! And then I'm sure you will feel lonely!

Seiga

I'm creating undying zombie friends for you, so you'll learn more about friendship and become even more perfect!

Eirin

Oh, so is that why the zombie fairies were all over Yoshika in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost...?

Seiga

I don't know about that, but I did give an order to all the zombie fairies I created.

Seiga

I asked them to be good friends with Yoshika and play with her...

Remilia

So basically, the zombie fairies were trying to play with her...?

We thought they were attacking Yoshika...

Eirin

And then Yoshika went and bit them... so they stopped trying to approach her.

Seiga

I'm glad to hear that the zombie fairies tried their best. But, unfortunately, it sounds like they didn't succeed.

Yoshika

Friends are important, and I'd love to have more, but the most important person to me is you, Seiga!

Seiga

And you are the most important person to me, Yoshika! But! But... you know, right?

Seiga

I can't be by your side forever. And when I'm gone, you'll need undying friends.

Yoshika

But...!

Tojiko

Um... Sorry to interrupt, but what you're basically saying is that Yoshika needs an undying friend, right...?

Tojiko

Well... I'm here for that. Although, it's a bit weird to call a ghost "undying."

Yoshika

Tojiko...!

Seiga

Really?! Wow... Isn't that great, Yoshika? And here come the tears...

Yoshika

Yeah...! I'll be your friend too!

Yoshika

Ah... But Seiga will probably get scolded for everything that she's done...

Seiga

Huh?! Wait a minute! What are you talking about? What have I done to anyone to deserve a scolding?

Yoshika

Because if you're the culprit, the Yama will...!

Seiga

How does the Yama fit into any of this...? But I'm not afraid of her. I've successfully escaped her judgment all this time.

Yoshika

Y-You can't do that! If you've done something wrong, you need to be honest about it and apologize!

Seiga

Forget about what's right and wrong for the moment, and tell me why I need to apologize. What did I do to the Yama?

Remilia

I feel like we're still not on the same page...

Tojiko

Maybe there is still a mystery that we have to solve...

Eirin

Sorry, but I'm going to cut into this conversation. Seiga, you have been creating zombie fairies, correct?

Seiga

Yes, so Yoshika can have friends.

Eirin

So did you capture phantoms and vengeful spirits from Higan to do that?

Seiga

...What? I haven't done any such thing. I don't need phantoms to create zombies in the first place.

Yoshika

D-D-Does that mean Seiga isn't the culprit?!

Seiga

Oh... So that's what's going on. I think I now understand why you have all been calling me a culprit.

Seiga

Phantoms have mysteriously gone missing from Higan.

Seiga

And at the same time, I happened to create zombie fairies.

Seiga

Well, I can see how you assumed that I must be the culprit.

Tojiko

Yes, exactly. But judging from the way you're reacting, it looks like we were wrong.

We're sorry for suspecting you.

Seiga

Well, I'm just glad that your suspicions have cleared up. Because I was really just making zombies.

Yoshika

S-Sorry, Seiga. I was sure that you were also behind the disappearance of the phantoms from Higan...

Remilia

Wait a minute!

Remilia

Sure, we've cleared up the Higan misunderstanding, but you better not try to get away with the zombie fairies thing!

Tojiko

Yes, you caused a lot of trouble for everyone. You should seriously reflect on your actions.

Seiga

I caused trouble for everyone? How so?

Tojiko

People have fallen ill after coming in contact with the zombie fairies. And there are quite a lot of victims.

Seiga

What...?! How did that happen?!

Eirin

About that... There is something that has been bothering me.

What is it?

Eirin

Seiga, what is that strange powder you've been using?!

Seiga

Strange powder...? You mean this powder that I've been using to create zombie fairies?

Eirin

Yes. You say that you've been using that powder to convert normal fairies into zombie fairies.

Eirin

But I've never seen nor heard of any powder that could do such a thing.

Seiga

But I have a powder that does exactly that right here. And as you can see, it obviously works...

Eirin

Sorry, but we don't have the time to discuss this. I'm going to borrow that powder for a second.

Seiga

Hey! Don't snatch―

Eirin

This fragrance...! Is this what I think it is?! Gah! There's no time for second-guessing...!

Remilia

Wait! Why did you dip your finger in it? What are you doing?! Isn't it risky to touch it directly like that?!

Eirin

*lick*

Tojiko

Huh...? She didn't just do that... did she?

She licked it?!

Eirin

Argh?!

Yoshika

O-Oh, no! If we don't do something, Eirin will turn into a zombie...!

Seiga

No! This looks like something else!

Eirin

Th-This is...

Tojiko

What is it...?

Eirin

This is just a spice.

Nurses

Huh...?

Eirin

This is just a spice. It definitely doesn't have any power to turn someone into a zombie.

Seiga

What...?! But then how...?

Marisa

Ah! There you are! I've been looking all over for you!

Yoshika

Oh, look! It's Marisa. What brings you here?

Eirin

I'm sorry, but we are already busy with something here.

Marisa

Actually, I'm here because of the zombie fairies―

Seiga

Marisa! What is the meaning of this? I thought that powder created zombies!

Eirin

Wait, what?! Are you telling me that you got the powder from Marisa?!

Marisa

Whoa! Stop! Stooooop! I'll explain everything, so please just calm down!

Remilia

You better not tell us that you're the one who made that powder.

Marisa

I didn't make it, but yes, I'm the provider... Um... I don't know where to start... It's a long story...

Tojiko

How irritating! We don't have time, so just get straight to the point! And you better not lie about anything!

Marisa

Ah... haha... ha... Um, that powder is fake. I was just pulling Seiga's leg...

Seiga

Wh-What...?!

Seiga

I can't believe you completely fooled me... And I even had an argument with Yoshika because of that...

Marisa

I-I didn't think you'd actually believe me... I even put on a show...

A show?

Marisa

I got a hold of some fairies that were passing by and sprinkled this powder on them. And since fairies are up for anything...

Remilia

They changed into zombie costumes?!

Marisa

Amusing, right? But I didn't think anyone would actually take it seriously after seeing that...

Seiga

It takes a lot of time and effort to make zombies... That's why I was truly happy to hear about Marisa's powder...

Seiga

I actually believed... that I could use it to efficiently create lots of zombie friends for Yoshika...

Marisa

Um... S-Sorry. I really am! I didn't mean any harm by it...

Yoshika

It's OK, Seiga! Cheer up!

Seiga

Yoshika...?

Yoshika

I'm happy that you're concerned about me ending up alone! But I'll do my best to make sure that doesn't happen!

Yoshika

You taught me how to make friends through the social club, Seiga! I've learned so, so much from you!

Yoshika

And even now, it's thanks to you that I was able to become friends with Tojiko!

Tojiko

I-It's kind of embarrassing when you put it like that...!

Yoshika

Even if there comes a time when I feel lonely, I'll just go look for more friends with Tojiko!

Yoshika

Awesome friends like I have now! I'll make so many friends that you'll be able to see that I'm not lonely from up above!

Yoshika

If you do anything more for me, I won't be able to repay you! That's why now I'll do my best to make you happy!

Seiga

Y-Yoshika...!

Yoshika

So please stop crying... Seiga... *sniff*...!

Seiga

Ah... I wonder if this is how parents feel when they see their child growing up...

Marisa

Um... So should I assume that you've forgiven me, or...?

Seiga

Yes, I forgive you. I was also partly at fault. And thanks to this, I was able to reaffirm what is most important to me.

I'm glad to see that the two of you have reconciled!

Marisa

Yeah! It's truly a happy ending!

Eirin

Not yet. There's still one mystery left unresolved. Why did the phantoms disappear from Higan?

Marisa

Hm? If you're looking for phantoms, I noticed that a bunch of them had gathered around the zombie fairies for some reason.

Eirin

Oh, when did they...? Wait! What on earth are they doing?! They're licking the zombie fairies?!

Tojiko

By the looks of it... I think they might've been doing that all along...

Eirin

I see... Now it all makes sense! I know why we got the chills whenever we got close to the zombie fairies!

Eirin

It's because the zombie fairies were always accompanied by phantoms!

Remilia

So the phantoms were responsible for the cold air around the zombie fairies, and everyone fell ill because of the cold.

Tojiko

That explains why people were falling sick! But why are the phantoms licking the zombie fairies?

Komachi

Ahaha. Well, that's because they loved spicy food when they were alive. The spice is probably nostalgic to them.

Eiki

So they were drawn to the scent of the spice, and that's why they left Higan? It looks like Komachi was right all along.

Eirin

Huh?! When did you two get here?!

Seiga, Yoshika & Tojiko

Eep?!

Eiki

Don't try to escape. Your time has finally come. Prepare yourself!

Seiga

Everything was going so well with Yoshika and me... So why did it have to turn out like this?!

Yoshika

I need to return the favor to Seiga! I will protect her! So please help me, my friend... I mean, my buddy!

Tojiko

Huh?! Ah, OK! But what's with that choice of words?

Komachi

Oh, no, we lost. What now, Lady Eiki? Do we quietly back down?

Eiki

Hmm, yes. She was just trying to help a friend, and it's not like she meant any harm.

Eiki

I shall make an exception and be lenient this time. But only this once.

Komachi

Wow, Lady Eiki, you're so generous! The greatest Yama of the Netherworld!

Eiki

All right, I shall now return to my post. Komachi, please bring all of the phantoms back with you.

Komachi

Whaaaaaaaat?! You want me to bring so many of them all by myself?!

Eiki

Of course! None of this would have happened, in the first place, if you had just done your job correctly!

Komachi

Oof!

Eirin

Phew. It was a long night... but we've finally returned to Eientei.

Remilia

It's good that everything worked out in the end. I was a bit worried when the Yama suddenly appeared...

Tojiko

There won't be any more zombie fairies. And now that the phantoms will return to Higan, fewer people will catch a cold.

Yoshika

Thanks to you all, the Yama also let Seiga off the hook. Thank you so much.

Eirin

You're welcome. We only did what any friend would do. Anyway, we now need to work together for... AAAAAH!

Yoshika

Why are you being so loud all of a sudden? I almost had a heart attack.

Tojiko

Yeah, my heart has completely stopped beating.

Remilia

Nope. I'm not going to comment this time...!

Eirin

This is no time for jokes! Oh, dear... What should we do...?

What's wrong?

Eirin

We haven't finished filming the promotional video! I completely forgot because of the zombie fairy disturbance.

Tojiko

Promotional video? What's that?

Remilia

We planned to help prevent summer flu and fatigue by creating a film that would spread awareness in Gensokyo.

Eirin

*sigh* We'll have to start over. I'll go ask the princess and Tewi to help once again...

Um... about that...

Tojiko

Hm? What is it, PLAYER?

I've actually been filming everything...

Eirin

What?! Are you serious?!

Yes, maybe you could use what I recorded.

Eirin

W-Well done, PLAYER! We'll be able to produce the finest promotional film with this footage!

Yoshika

Really?

Eirin

Yes. Just think about it. Don't you remember how we examined various patients while investigating the disturbance?

Tojiko

Oh, right. You also gave them instructions on how to better maintain their health. So if we use those parts skillfully...

Remilia

We'll have the most convincing promotional film based on real events.

Yoshika

Whoa, that's a great idea!

Eirin

It's all thanks to PLAYER. You really saved us!

No, it's thanks to everyone. Not just me!

Eirin

Yes, you're right. Heehee, we make a really good team.

Remilia

OK, I'm going to head off now that the promotional video has been filmed. Don't forget to send me my payment.

Tojiko

The deal was to stick together till we resolved the zombie fairy disturbance after all.

Yoshika

I'll also go back to Seiga. I need to finish that errand I left midway!

Eirin

No, you can't go back yet. I won't let you.

Nurses Who Want to Go Home

What?! Why?!

Eirin

A lot of sick patients have been waiting here at Eientei while we were out and about.

Eirin

I need to examine them now, but I can't take care of them all on my own.

So you mean...?

Eirin

You are all already dressed as nurses. And it won't do you any harm to stick around till the end.

Yoshika

Eh? But I'm so tired after running around all night. Let me rest already.

Remilia

I'd love to help, but I'm exhausted...

Tojiko

Oh, I know! I'll get Futo to help instead of me...!

Eirin

You are all going to help, AREN'T YOU?

Nurses

Of course...

C'mon! Let's do our best for this one last job!

Remilia

Argh! Fine! Bring on the patients! I'll deal with them!

Tojiko

We've already come this far, so I guess we can't back down now. All right! Let's see this through to the very end!

Yoshika

You helped me save Seiga, so I'll do everything in my power to help you too!

Eirin

Hehe, thanks, everyone. OK, let's begin the medical examinations!

Doctor & Nurses

Yeah!

Eirin

You must wash your hands properly with soap to disinfect them, and you must gargle several times, not just once.

Eirin

If nothing else, you should remember these two things.

Eirin

It's not good to consume too many cold drinks or food. It will weaken your digestive system.

Eirin

You need to eat something easy to digest for a while. Restoring your stamina and treating your stomach comes first.

Eirin

People tend to be deficient in vitamin D when they don't go out in the sunlight, like when they always stay inside.

Eirin

You'll feel better in no time once you take a walk in the sunlight.

Eirin

As you just saw, staying healthy isn't easy. If you don't take care of your health on a regular basis, you will fall sick.

Eirin

You sweat and physically exhaust yourself more in summer. This leaves the body weak and lowers your immunity.

Eirin

You must maintain a well-balanced diet and a regular sleep schedule, and remember to wash your hands and gargle.

Eirin

Washing your hands and gargling is important, but there isn't much point if you don't do it right.

Eirin

That's why we'll now teach you the correct way to wash your hands and gargle.

Remilia

Remilia Scarlet wiiiiith...!

Yoshika

Yoshika Miyako aaaaand...!

Tojiko

Soga no Tojiko present...!

Nurses

The wash your hands and gargle dance!

Remilia

First, turn on the tap to scrub your hands! Wet your hands all over, and use soap to make lots of foam!

Yoshika

Scrub your palms and then your fingers. Don't skip between your fingers, and don't forget the back of your hands!

Tojiko

Now use your fingertips to liiiigtly scratch each palm! This will get rid of the bacteria in your nails!

Remilia

Don't forget your wrists and the base of your thumbs. Make sure you don't miss a spot!

Yoshika

Once you're done, wash off the soap with water! And be sure to dry your hands with a towel!

Tojiko

Now let's try gargling next! First, fill a glass with water, and don't forget the mouthwash!

Remilia

Be careful not to use too much mouthwash. Gargling too much can damage the mucous membrane of your throat.

Yoshika

Then, when you're ready, put some water in your mouth and look up!

Nurses

*gargle* *gargle *gargle* *spit* And repeat! *gargle* *gargle* *gargle* *spit*

Tojiko

Make sure you wash your hands and gargle to stay healthy!

Remilia

It's YOUR health, so you're the one who needs to make an effort to stay healthy!

Yoshika

That's all for now! See ya!

Eirin

And that marks the end of our awareness-raising film... Ah, it turned out perfectly!

Remilia

Nonsense! What's with that dance at the end?! You never told me that you'd use it like that!

Tojiko

Oh no, seeing it like this is really embarrassing...

Seiga

There's nothing wrong with the film. Yoshika was so cute! And the others were... well, not bad...

The film properly explains how to wash hands!

Remilia

Y-You really think so? Either way, it's still embarrassing!

Yoshika

Seiga likes it, so I don't mind!

Tojiko

I hate it. I'm sure Lady Taishi and Futo will tease me if they ever see this...

Futo

AHAHAHAHAHA! 'Tis too late, Tojiko! I'm splitting my sides with laughter! 'Tis so comical that my stomach aches!

Tojiko

Futoooo! Why are you like this?! Stop laughing already!

Futo

Cease thy anger and showeth me thy dance once more. Go on! Shaketh thy body!

Tojiko

Really, Futo? You better be prepared for the consequences!

Eirin

Oh, dear. This was supposed to be a screening for everyone in Gensokyo. But it seems to be turning violent.

We need to calm everyone down!

Eirin

Oh, well. Maybe I should play the blooper reel next...

Nurses

Huh?!

Eirin

And start!

Eirin

Please organize the medicine shelf before we start the medical examinations. You can use this list to check what goes where.

Tojiko

Piece of cake. This won't take long.

Tojiko

Hm. This medicine goes over here... and this bottle is in the way.

Tojiko

Sorry, but could you please hold these bottles for a bit? I'll organize the shelves in the meantime.

Yoshika

OK! Give 'em to me!

Tojiko

This, and that one over there, and this other one... they're all in the way, so please take them all.

Yoshika

Huh?! So many?! Don't you know that my arms can't bend?!

Remilia

So I just have to arrange these medical books in alphabetical order on the bookshelf? Heehee, that's child's play for me.

Yoshika

Oh no! The bottles keep slipping and falling to the floor! Be careful not to step on them!

Remilia

Hm? Did you say something? AAAAAAH!

Remilia

OUCH!

Yoshika

A-Are you OK?! I'll help you... AAARGH!

Tojiko

Whoa?! What's going on?! The shelf is shaking, and all the bottles are...?!

Nurses

AAAAAAAAH?!

Eirin

My, my. How did this happen?

Remilia

Wh-What are you playing?! Stop it right now!

Tojiko

I can't let Lady Taishi see me in such a disgraceful state...!

Yoshika

Th-This is really embarrassing.

Seiga

You're so adorable, Yoshika. I want to keep watching.

Eirin

Heehee, are you sure about that? The bloopers don't only feature us, you know?

Seiga

Huh? Don't tell me you...

Eirin

OK, let's watch the next one.

Seiga

La lala lalaaaa. Some more powder and...

Seiga

Another zombie fairy is complete... AH-AH-ACHOO!

Seiga

Oh, dear. I can't stop sneezing... Achoo! ACHOO! Argh!

???

AAAAAAAAAHHHH!

Seiga

Stop playing a video of me sneezing! Th-This is outrageous!

Eirin

This scene was shot by coincidence, but it's so funny that I just had to play it.

Yoshika

I agree, but what was that at the end...?

Tojiko

Yeah, there was a mysterious scream at the end, and I think I saw something in the corner of the screen.

Eirin

I saw that too. Let's rewind and take a better look. I'll enlarge the corner portion...

???

Why are zombie fairies coming after me?! Stop it! Somebody help!

???

I was just trying to surprise them!

Kogasa

What?! How did you record this?! I thought nobody was watching!

Tojiko

It's not that bad. I don't see why you'd be embarrassed.

Kogasa

It's worse than bad! It's so frustrating how the zombie fairies managed to surprise me...

Kogasa

And for such a thing to be seen by everyone on the big screen is just too embarrassing! It's unbearable!

It's OK. Don't worry about it.

Kogasa

How can I not?! I want to get better at surprising everyone! And why was this even recorded, to begin with?!

I think it just happened to be captured by the camera.

Kogasa

*sob*... Then I'll just have to surprise everyone with a battle and make them forget this scene!

Yoshika

C-Calm down! Violence won't solve anything!

Tojiko

Oh, wow. She's really angry. I doubt she'll back down so easily.

Eirin

I guess that leaves us no choice. We can't let her destroy the film, so let's battle her.

Kogasa

*sob* I lost. I wanted to make everyone forget everything with the battle of bullets...

Eirin

Your bullets by themselves lacked impact. If you want to surprise people, then we'll have to think of a better way.

Tojiko

That's a good idea. Let's think of a better way together. That will also help everyone forget about the video.

Kogasa

OK, I'll calm down, so please help me think of a strategy to surprise everyone later.

Tojiko

I know all about surprising people, so you can count on me!

I'll help too!

Kogasa

Thank you!

Kaguya

Things are getting interesting now. I wonder who we'll get to see in the next scene.

Eirin

Well, people haven't come here to watch this. But I suppose it's fine as long as you're happy.

Mokou

Hmmm...

Keine

What's wrong, Mokou? You've been groaning for a while now. Is something bothering you?

Mokou

No, I just got this vague feeling that something bad is gonna happen. I hope it's nothing...

Yoshika

I'm going to play the next blooper now.

Eirin

Please do. I'm sure the next one is about...

Mokou

It's strange that Kaguya didn't show up for our battle today. Maybe she got afraid and ran away.

Mokou

But I wonder who dug all these pits around my house. I am so going to find them and punish them.

Mokou

All this anger has made me hungry... Oh, right. I've got that bentou from Keine.

Mokou

Let me eat this... Urk?! It looks like it's gone a bit bad...

Mokou

Gah! I was so busy filling up the pits that I forgot about the bentou. It must have gone bad sitting in this summer heat.

Mokou

But well, it's not like I'll die, and Keine made this bentou for me, so I don't want to throw it away...

Mokou

And it's not like the taste has gone bad. It should be OK to eat... probably.

Mokou

Argh... my stomach feels weird... Ow ow ow... maybe the bentou was more spoiled than I thought.

Mokou

Aaaaaaaargh. But, I regret nothing...! The bentou was delicious, Keine...!

Mokou

S-Stop it! Why do you have a recording of this?!

Kaguya

Ahahahahahaha! You're too funny, Mokou! Aaah, my stomach also hurts from seeing this! Ahahaha!

Mokou

Shut up, Kaguya!

I didn't have any ill intentions... I just recorded it...

Mokou

"Just" recorded?! How could you record this? Keine has also come with me to this screening...!

Keine

Mokou! How many times do I have to tell you not to eat spoiled food?!

Mokou

I-I'm immortal, so it's OK! Besides, I can't simply throw away something I got from you!

Mokou

And spoiled or not! I don't like wasting food!

Keine

That attitude is praiseworthy, but it makes no sense to ruin your health because of it! Even the food wouldn't want that!

Mokou

Geez! Look what happened because of you guys! You better take responsibility for this!

What do you want us to do?

Mokou

Hmm, let's have a battle of bullets! If I win, you have to persuade Keine!

Mokou

Tsk, I lost.

Eirin

Have you calmed down now?

Mokou

Sorry, maybe I was just taking out my frustration on you for no reason. I'm sorry.

Mokou

Sorry to you too, Keine. I won't eat spoiled food anymore. And I'll do my best to eat the food I receive as soon as possible.

Keine

I'm sorry too. I was a bit harsh, and it was partly my fault for making a bentou without considering the summer heat...

Kaguya

But still... I can't believe you ate that spoiled food. You sure are a glutton.

Mokou

Yeah, whatever. Think what you want.

Kaguya

What's with that boring reaction? I'm teasing you, and that's all you have to say?

Mokou

I came here to watch a film on preventing colds 'cause Keine invited me. I don't have the time to fool around with you.

Kaguya

You had the time to play around with PLAYER and the others. So why won't you fight me?!

Mokou

Hey! Stop pulling me! Gah... fine.

They left...

Tojiko

But you sure are amazing, PLAYER. Your paparazzi skills can even put the tengu to shame.

Yoshika

I bet they'll come down from the Youkai Mountain to recruit you soon!

I kind of doubt that...

Remilia

You don't need to be so modest. I am now looking forward to what else is in store.

Yoshika

We still have more videos. I'll play them one after another!

Tojiko

I wonder whose blooper will be shown next...

Remilia

Heehee. I wonder who PLAYER's next victim will be.

Meiling

That's not nice, milady. Everyone feels embarrassed when their mistakes are made public.

Koakuma

You say that, but I bet you're also looking forward to this.

Meiling

Ahahaha, just a little.

Remilia

That's more like it! Now, play the next video!

Meiling

Zzz... zzz... *snore*... *mumble* *mumble* I can't eat any more... Ehehe.

Meiling

Huh?! Was that... a dream?! But it was such a realistic dream.

Meiling

I know! If I go back to sleep right away, I might get the same dream again! Time to sleep... Zzz... zzz...

Remilia

Now that I'm back at the mansion, I feel like having a little snack.

Remilia

Oh, look. Sakuya made a cake. How careless of her to leave it lying in the kitchen. Let me have a little bite...

Remilia

Oops, I ended up eating quite a lot... I-I'll just hide the rest of it in my room and finish it later...

Koakuma

Woohoo! I found it! I found the tea leaves that Lady Patchouli likes so much!

Koakuma

Lady Patchouli is sleeping because of all that exercise, so it's the perfect time to drink this tea in secret!

Koakuma

Aaaah... it smells so good. I'm so lucky that I get to drink such exquisite tea...

Current Victims

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

Tojiko

That's what you get for delighting in the misery of others.

Remilia

Wh-Wh-What's this?! Why do you have a recording of us like that?!

I swear it was just a coincidence!

Remilia

That's no excuse! It'll be bad if the angry Sakuya sees this...!

The Angry Sakuya

Why? What will happen if the angry Sakuya sees this?

Latest Victims

NOOOOOOOO!

Sakuya

The gatekeeper slacked off and slept, milady stole a cake, and Koakuma drank her master's tea without permission... Hehe.

Remilia

It's not how it looks, Sakuya! I can explain!

Meiling

It was a Manchu Han Imperial Feast?! I was having a Manchu Han Imperial Feast in the dream!

Koakuma

It was just one cup! I just had a little taste!

Sakuya

I have heard all of your excuses... And now it's time for some scolding!

Latest Victims

Eep?!

Remilia

PLAYER! This is all because of your recordings! So you better join us in getting scolded!

I don't think so...

Remilia

OK, then, let's have a battle of bullets! And if we win, you get scolded instead of us!

Eirin

You seem to be quite desperate, but that reasoning makes no sense.

Yoshika

You reap what you sow!

Tojiko

Good grief. I'm so appalled that I don't even feel like trying to defend you.

Koakuma, Meiling & Remilia

*sob*...

Sakuya

That's what you get for trying to push the blame on others. You need to reflect on your actions.

Remilia

*sob* You're right. You put so much effort into making that cake, and I just went and stole it. I'm sorry, Sakuya.

Meiling

I'm sorry for sleeping on the job despite being the gatekeeper.

Koakuma

And I'm sorry for taking my master's precious belongings without her permission. I'll make sure to ask her next time.

Sakuya

All right. If you're really sorry, I won't say anything further.

Meiling

Really?! You're so kind, Miss Sakuya! I'll treat you to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast to show my gratitude!

Sakuya

Meiling... you recuperated a bit too quickly. Perhaps you need some more scolding.

Meiling

Huh?! Wait, why are you getting your knives out...?! AAAAH! It's raining knives! But why?!

Meiling... I wish you luck...

Remilia

It's OK. That's how they usually play around. You don't need to worry about it.

Yoshika

That's what you call playing around?! She's so covered in knives that she looks like a hedgehog!

Tojiko

When she eventually turns into a ghost, I'll give her some advice as her senior.

Eirin

Playing more of these bloopers might not be the best idea. I think we should end it here.

Yoshika

That was our last video. There won't be any more casualties.

Tojiko

After watching the other blunders, our mistakes don't feel that bad anymore.

Remilia

I almost got badly burnt, though.

I'm sorry for all that.

Eirin

It's not your fault. In fact, you did very well.

Eirin

I'm really grateful. Thanks to you, we managed to make a good film and even show it to everyone in Gensokyo.

Marisa

H-Help me!

Eirin

*sigh* Just when I was saying something important... What is it, Marisa? Why are you shouting?

Marisa

Isn't that obvious?! I'm in a really tough spot right now!

Yoshika

A tough spot...? What's going on?

Marisa

It's about that thing I gave Seiga earlier... that spice that she thought was zombie-making powder.

Marisa

That spice is actually from Kourin's shop. He acquired it from somewhere.

If it's from Mister Rinnosuke's shop, then that means...

Yoshika

You stole it?

Marisa

Don't go around smearing my good name. I just borrowed it, OK?

Tojiko

So, what trouble are you in because of that spice you "borrowed"?

Marisa

Kourin said that he wanted to use that spice to recreate a dish he saw in a recipe book from the outside world.

Marisa

I took the spice while he was reading the recipe book, but... he noticed that it was missing.

Yoshika

Then can't you just give it back to him?

Marisa

I gave it all to Seiga! I didn't keep any for myself!

Eirin

And the phantoms have already licked up all the spice that she had...

Marisa

Exactly. So I apologized and told Kourin that I couldn't return it, but he was really looking forward to using it...

Marisa

His face looked even scarier than Kokoro's oni mask, and he started chasing after me...!

Rinnosuke

Marisa, are you here?

Marisa

Oh, no! He already sniffed me out!

Marisa

W-Well, I'll be off then! Don't tell him I was here...!

Rinnosuke

Found you. It's time for you to pay for your crimes.

Marisa

Eep! I already told you that I'm sorry!

Rinnosuke

Haha, I've heard you say that too many times already. This time, you need to be taught a lesson.

Eirin

My, my. Even Marisa doesn't stand a chance against him. Now, let's just hope that she changes her ways...

Eirin

OK, so now that the noisy ones have left... let's call it a night... ugh...

Are you all right?!

Eirin

I'm fine. I just felt a little lightheaded.

Yoshika

Didn't you stay up all night editing the footage? And then you've been examining patients since early this morning.

Eirin

Th-That's true, but...

Tojiko

Aren't you pushing yourself too much? You should rest.

Eirin

But there's a lot I need to do...

Remilia

Getting good rest is also an important part of your job.

Who will look after the patients if you fall ill?!

Eirin

Hehe, yes, you got me there. A doctor neglecting their health is no joke.

Eirin

All right then, I'll go rest.

Kaguya

Eiiiirriiiiiiiiiin! I got hurt! Can you please take a look?!

Mokou

Ow, ow, owwww... Sorry, but can you please take a look at me next?

Tojiko

Oh, right. They were having a battle of bullets. Gosh, they've got such bad timing.

Eirin

I appreciate your concern, everyone. But I can't rest yet.

No, you have to rest.

Eirin

Huh?!

This is exactly why you have nurses!

Nurses

Yeah!

Eirin

You guys... Hehe, I've really been blessed with such wonderful helpers.

Eirin

OK, everyone! I'm counting on you!
