Watatsuki no Toyohime
Watatsuki no Toyohime's Fantasy Rebirth Story
Toyohime
*sigh* Today was yet another day full of meetings.
Toyohime
The rabbits must be undergoing Yorihime's intensive training right now. Poor things. I'll bring them some peaches later.
???
That's a good idea. I vote for it too.
Toyohime
I know, right? Those little ones love having fun. It'll be great.
???
May I have one of those peaches too?
Toyohime
Yes, of course. Please have one...
Toyohime
Wait...
Yuyuko
THANKS!
Toyohime
EEP?!
Toyohime
Y-You...!
Toyohime
You're that ghost girl from Earth... Yuyuko Saigyouji!
Yuyuko
That's right. And I'm not alone. PLAYER is with me.
Hello, Miss Toyohime. I hope we're not intruding.
Toyohime
Oh, hello PLAYER. Welcome to the Watatsuki residence... or so I'd like to say...
Toyohime
But, well, there's no problem with a ghost, who carries no impurities, roaming around the Lunar Capital... No, there is.
Toyohime
If you're going to be wandering around with PLAYER, then, of course, I can't overlook it.
Toyohime
What are you doing here?
Yuyuko
Ah, no. You're misunderstanding, Moon Princess.
Yuyuko
I've come instead of Yukari Yakumo. That's the reason why PLAYER is with me.
Toyohime
Yukari Yakumo...! Oh! So that's why you're with PLAYER...! It makes sense now!
Toyohime
But why all of a sudden?
Yuyuko
It's not sudden at all.
Yuyuko
You just returned from an important meeting, correct?
Yuyuko
And that...
Yuyuko
...was a really important meeting attended even by the likes of Tsukuyomi, wasn't it?
Toyohime
...!
Toyohime
I suppose Yukari Yakumo would do something like that. It's only natural for her to want to know about such things.
Yuyuko
Exactly.
Yuyuko
Now, why don't we have a little chat while enjoying some of those peaches?
Toyohime
Very well. But before that...
Toyohime
I want PLAYER to wear this Impurity Inhibitor Ver. 2.
Toyohime
I'm quite proud of this invention.
Ah... O-OK!
Toyohime
...So that's what we talked about.
Toyohime
It's just the beginning of what might be a long, long meeting.
Toyohime
For now, it's all been just getting acquainted with the attendees and confirming the aim of the meeting.
Yuyuko
But the leader of the Lunarians, who could be called the Moon Emperorć¼Tsukuyomi, has already made an appearance, right?
Toyohime
Yes, it is true that Lord Tsukuyomi is our ruler. He is the one who created and has continued to maintain the Lunar Capital.
Toyohime
But we Lunarians do not all stand united...
Toyohime
Unlike on Earth, there are no unnecessary confrontations on the moon... or rather, there are none made public.
Yuyuko
And I'm sure we'll run out of time if we delve into the details, correct?
Toyohime
Oh, yes. You got that right.
Toyohime
Anyway, the position of moon emissary that my sister and I hold is very useful for knowing what happens on Earth.
Toyohime
Due to certain events, the other sages, namely Miss Sagume, are now as familiar with what happens on Earth as we are.
Yuyuko
Ah, you mean that time when the Lunar Capital was cornered into the Dream World, which even got Gensokyo involved?
Toyohime
Yes... Those who know the Earth well have been sensitive to this situation ever since the beginning.
Toyohime
I don't see Gensokyo as someone else's problem. Lady Yagokoro lives there, so I can't just turn a blind eye to it.
Toyohime
Besides, we once considered making Gensokyo our new capital, so I obviously care about what happens down there.
Toyohime
Our political opponents ridiculed us by labeling us as the "pro-earth" or "pro-Gensokyo" group because of that.
Toyohime
And that's why they are trying to get Lord Tsukuyomi to side with their way of thinking.
Toyohime
...Or they were until a short while ago. Things have completely changed now.
Toyohime
And that's because the Seal Crystals have started appearing even in the Lunar Capital.
Yuyuko
Yes, I heard about that.
Toyohime
Of course, the decision was nowhere near being unanimous. But it was enough for our side to be well in the majority.
Toyohime
Lord Tsukuyomi also intends to let us do as we see fit.
Toyohime
And at least for now, we've been officially ordered to work closely with Lady Yagokoro.
Yuyuko
You, your sister, and Sagume were the ones who received the orders, correct?
Toyohime
Yes, that's right. And at the same time, those orders also indicate how dire an emergency this is.
Toyohime
I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried about what might happen next.
Yuyuko
I feel the same way.
Yuyuko
But you could say that overcoming this situation is a matter of pride for the humans and youkai living on Earth.
Toyohime
The Earth is an impure world where life and death are a repetitive cycle.
Toyohime
But striving to find a way to survive at any cost, no matter how dirty, is a type of pure universal principle, isn't it?
Toyohime
Don't tell me you've come here today to convey that to me...?
Yuyuko
Perhaps, perhaps not. I doubt Yukari Yakumo thought that far.
Yuyuko
But maybe she hoped that sending us here would help all of you noble Lunarians.
Yuyuko
That is what this present... from Yukari says.
Toyohime
Wh-What's this...?
Yuyuko
It's payback in a sense.
Yuyuko
We might've won, but we also kind of lost during our war back then...
Yuyuko
That dress is woven using the same principle as your cord of instants.
Yuyuko
Yukari Yakumo is just a youkai from Earth, and this is only a tiny aspect of her ability.
Yuyuko
I don't think you need any more explanation, do you?
Toyohime
Heehee... You sure say some interesting things.
Toyohime
But this dress seems like it's designed to match Lady Yagokoro's. I see she has put a lot of thought into it.
I thought a dress like this would look really good on you.
Toyohime
Heehee. Thank you, PLAYER, Yuyuko... Please also convey my thanks to Yukari Yakumo.
Yuyuko
Don't worry, I'll do that without fail.
Miss Yuyuko, will we leave now that our work is done?
Yuyuko
Yes, Yukari's work is certainly over, but...
Toyohime
Hm? Is there something else you need?
Yuyuko
Um, well...
Yuyuko
Can I have some more of those peaches?
Costume Presentation
Watatsuki no Toyohime
In the past, Lady Yagokoro chose friendship and left her life in the Lunar Capital. It would take eons for one such as me to comprehend her immeasurable genius... but now I think I understand why she did it. Since I also have such a friend now.
