Fujiwara no Mokou
Fujiwara no Mokou's Fantasy Rebirth Story
???
The rainbow river flows―
Yukari
―and merges to one.
???
It'll shine brighter―
Yukari
―with lightning drums.

Yukari

Mokou
Oh, it's you. And also PLAYER.
Wait, what was that just now?!
Yukari
It's about this.
Mokou
It's a ticket to the last day of the upcoming concert. And it's for a seat in the center of the front row.
Mokou
Maybe I shouldn't ask you this since I made the order, but how did you get it?
Yukari
Teehee. Don't mistake me for a scalper.
Yukari
Do not worry. Of course, I got it through legitimate routes.
Mokou
What?! Do you have a connection with them?!
Yukari
Not a direct connection. I have a connection with the backup dancers' master...
Yukari
...so I used my gap.
Mokou
Then that means this ticket is...! I knew something bad was going to happen when you came.
Yukari
No need to worry. The servants shouldn't have tried to get their master to sit in the front row.
Yukari
Besides, that god will stand at the back with her arms crossed even without a ticket. She acts like she is the producer.
Mokou
I see, so this ticket was going to be wasted. That's a luxury...!
Yukari
But I know the value of this ticket better than anyone else. That is why I couldn't give it to anyone other than Mokou.
Yukari
I had to eliminate even the possibility of someone being disguised as Mokou.
Mokou
Which is why we needed that secret password.
So much precaution!
Mokou
...Well, that's what it's all about.
Mokou
Music is an inseparable element of life.
Mokou
I've heard a fair amount of music in my long life. But this may be the first time music has felt so precious to me.
Mokou
Is it because the music is played by spirits and youkai who have lived a long time? No, I have a feeling it's not.
Mokou
As long as I like the music, I think I'd feel the same way even if it was played by humans who live less than a hundred years.
Mokou
It's strange. I think it's very strange.
Yukari
There are probably two factors.
Yukari
First, life is more concentrated for people whose life is finite. So what they create is also concentrated.
Yukari
Second, culture is passed down from human to human. They inherit legacies from musicians of the past.
Yukari
...Well, you probably still find it very strange even with those factors in mind.
Mokou
Don't you think it's strange?
Yukari
Of course, I do.
Yukari
That is why this world is filled with wonder. Everywhere you look is beautiful.
Yukari
Even I, a youkai, think so. It's not unreasonable for you as a human to feel the same way.
Mokou
A human, you say...
Mokou
I have lived too long and died too many times with a human mind. You might say that's what I am.
Mokou
I'm tired of asking myself questions about whether I'm human or not.
Mokou
I got tired of having thoughts like that. Even someone like me...
Mokou
...enjoys music.
Mokou
Hehe!
Yukari
You are laughing at it.
Mokou
Well, I can't help but laugh from my heart.
Mokou
Sound even resonates through water and stone. And the denser the medium, the faster and clearer the sound is.
Mokou
Then it's only natural that it would resonate with me, who's not as old as water or stone.
Yukari
Yes...
Yukari
...the Prismriver Ensemble is such a great band.
Mokou
I agree.
M-Me too!
Mokou
Oh, PLAYER, you understand too? The Prismrivers are awesome!
Mokou
Hey... Yukari.
Yukari
What is the matter, Mokou?
Mokou
I know what you're up to.
Mokou
You came to hear my answer, right?
Yukari
...
Mokou
I've heard about the situation, mainly from Kaguya and the others.
Mokou
And besides, I'm not interested in talking at length about things that aren't music-related.
Mokou
I already have enough information to give my answer.
Mokou
To protect Gensokyo―
Yukari
Wait. Let me hear your answer when the time comes.
Mokou
OK, I think you're right.
Yukari
...
Mokou
...
Yukari
I am sure you have already heard about this as well.
Yukari
This box contains proof of your resolve to take the oath.
Yukari
This proof is also a promise that I will come back one day to ask about your intentions.
Mokou
...
Mokou
...Wow!
Mokou
This...
Mokou
...is a bit―
Mokou
―too cute for me, isn't it?!
Yukari
We have tailored it just for you in every sense of the word.
Yukari
There is no too small, big, cute, nor plain.
Yukari
So there's no need to worry!
Mokou
Wait, since this costume is cute... Does that mean...?
Yukari
This costume is just as cute as Fujiwara no Mokou!
Mokou
You're making me blush like Fujiyama Volcano!
Mokou is beautiful, so I think it'll look good on you!
Mokou
...!
Mokou
*sigh* When did you two get so good at flattering?
Mokou
...Oh, but I always end up burning my clothes.
Mokou
It's a shame, but I can't wear it. I want to take good care of it since you gave it to me.
Yukari
We have great news! The costume is actually made out of materials extracted from a fire mouse skin robe replica!
It's the highest level of fireproof material!
Mokou
T-Th...
Yukari
What's that?
Mokou
...Thank you!
Mokou
This is great! I can wear it whenever I want!
You're welcome!
Costume Presentation
Fujiwara no Mokou
Even if you don't have your memories, you're still you. I like who you are now, which is why I want to help you resolve the incident. Being able to make me think this way is one of your powers—it's a valuable quality. I think you should be proud.
