The Secret God Games

Index
Forbidden Games
Everyone
What do we do?! We're trapped!
Everyone
How can they do this?!
Everyone
Let us out!
Eternity Larva
I can't believe this is happening...
Wriggle
It's only fair that everyone's panicking after what just happened.
C-Calm down, everyone!
This is just a game!
Mystia
How can you expect us to stay calm after seeing THAT?!
Cirno
I-It's been a while since I got sunburned...
Mystia
How did a mere kick cause the ball to explode?!
Kisume
A-Are you sure this is "just a game"?
U-Um...
Momoyo
Hey, leave PLAYER alone. She's not here, but there's no way she'd do such a thing.
Mystia
I guess you're right. I was just confused.
Wriggle
Is PLAYER watching us?
Eternity Larva
We can only hear her voice, but if she knows what's happening, she must be watching from somewhere.
Momoyo
Quite possibly... But wait, she might not be alone.
Kisume
S-So whose game is this...?
Yamame
I don't know for sure, but I think they're watching us just like PLAYER is.
Mystia
But who could that be─
???
Very good.
Eternity Larva
What on earth do you want from us?
Eternity Larva
─Okina Matara.
Okina
...
Okina
You still don't understand why you're here, do you?
Okina
Nor do you understand our motives.
Okina
Silence!
Okina
All right, I'll explain. But only once.
Okina
You've been entered into a very special event. One that you may not all survive.
Okina
We call it─
Okina
─The Secret God Games.
Eternity Larva
I don't like the sound of that...!
Another Peaceful Day in Gensokyo
Shortly before the stadium by the Misty Lake was engulfed in confusion and screams─
Eternity Larva
The weather's quite nice today! It's the perfect day for a battle of bullets... Or maybe some exercise!
Eternity Larva
That reminds me. There's that rumor going around. What was it about, again?
???
Oh, hey, Larva! Are you taking part in the competition too?
Eternity Larva
Ah, yes! It was about the competition!
Eternity Larva
I have no clue what kind of competition it is, though. What about you, Cirno? Do you know anything about it?
Cirno
Course, I do!
Cirno
It's a sports competition at the Misty Lake!
Eternity Larva
Well, I thought it'd be sports related. Competitions usually are.
Cirno
And the prize is something epic!
Eternity Larva
Wh-What is it?!
Cirno
It's some epic, legendary... thing!
Eternity Larva
That doesn't make it any clearer!
Cirno
Well, I just know it's epic! And winning it will mean you're the STRONGEST!
Cirno
I'm gonna take part to prove I'm the STRONGEST and win the EPIC prize!
Eternity Larva
I'm competing too, then!
Eternity Larva
I want that prize, but more than that, I wanna beat you. I might have lost summer to you back then...
Eternity Larva
...but this time I'm gonna prove I've got the strength to create a future for us fairies!
Cirno
That's the spirit!
Cirno
OK! Let's warm up with a little battle of bullets before the competition!
Eternity Larva
Good idea! This way, I can beat you twice in the same day!
Eternity Larva
I knew this was a good day for a battle!
Cirno
Grrrr! I might've lost, but I'm gonna win the competition!
Eternity Larva
Hehe! We'll see!
Cirno
OK then, let's race to the venue! Whoever gets there first, wins!
Eternity Larva
What?! But I don't know where it is! I just know it's by the Misty Lake...
Eternity Larva
Oh, I know. I'll just follow Cirno! She knows the way!
Eternity Larva
...I hope.
Eternity Larva
No point worrying about it now. I'll just follow her and see how it goes!
The organizers' meeting spot─
Greater Youkai Co-Organizer
Oh, look. The venue is slowing filling up with participants.
Great Tengu Co-Organizer
I'm curious to see how this event is going to turn out.
I hope everyone has fun!
Thanks for inviting me as a special guest!
Hidden God Event Organizer
...
What's wrong, Miss Okina?
Okina
I didn't expect that swallowtail butterfly to participate. I wonder how she'll do.
Okina
Now I'm REALLY looking forward to this event.
Stadium Buzz
Eternity Larva
I ended up losing sight of Cirno... but I made it.
Eternity Larva
Wow, there's such a big crowd!
Komachi
It's time to slack off―I mean, it's time to cheer for the participants!
Kokoro
Are you a participant? Or have you come to cheer? It doesn't matter! We've got delicious bento for everyone here!
Eternity Larva
Looks like people have come for all kinds of reasons.
Eternity Larva
With this many people around, someone's bound to know more about this competition and the prize.
Eternity Larva
I should try asking around!
Sunny Milk
If we're taking part, then we gotta go all out to win!
Star Sapphire
I wonder if we can participate as a team.
Luna Child
Hmm, do we even know what the competition is about?
Three Fairies of Light
Who cares! It looks like it's gonna be fun! And maybe we'll get to prank everyone!
Mystia
The top prize, huh? I've heard all sorts of rumors about it, but I still don't know what it is.
Rumia
I hope it's something delicious. Like meat! Or something sweet!
Mystia
All right, good luck in the competition. It looks like I've got to teach someone how great grilled lamprey tastes.
Eternity Larva
Aaand, I didn't learn anything. Oh well, I'm sure they'll explain the competition eventually.
Announcer
To all those wishing to participate, please ensure you sign up before the application deadline─
Eternity Larva
What?! There's a deadline?! I better hurry!
Okina
Everything's going well.
Everyone's looking forward to the competition!
So what's the top prize?
Great Tengu Co-Organizer
Ah, I have that right here. Look.
Wh-Whoa...!
Great Tengu Co-Organizer
Hehe, I'm sure everyone will love it.
Greater Youkai Co-Organizer
I don't understand what's so great about it.
Okina
To each their own. All that matters is that the participants are happy with it.
Okina
All right... It's time to get this show started.
Okina
Satono, Mai.
Mai & Satono
Yes, Master!
The Participants
Eternity Larva
Phew, I signed up in time. I was THIS close to missing out on the competition!
Eternity Larva
But I'm really amazed at the turnout. It's like a giant festival!
Wriggle
Oh, hey, Larva! Don't tell me you're also participating.
Eternity Larva
Hey, Wriggle. Did you sign up too?
Wriggle
Yep! It sounds fun, and almost everyone I hang out with said they'd be participating! So I thought, why not!
Eternity Larva
I see. Now I've really gotta do my best!
Aya
The entries are now closed! We'll soon be reporting live!
Nitori
A competition you can't afford to miss! (Even though no one knows what it's about.) Starting soon! (Probably.)
Momoyo
Whoa, is it starting already?
Momoyo
Hey, do you know what the prize is?
Aya & Nitori
Ummmm... It's...
Momoyo
Is it something pretty like a gemstone? C'mon, tell us already!
Aya & Nitori
*mumble* W-We have no clue either...
Momoyo
Huh? What did you say? Quit mumbling.
Aya & Nitori
The prize is...
Momoyo
Is what?
Aya & Nitori
A surprise! You'll find out if you win!
Momoyo
...
Aya & Nitori
...
Momoyo
That makes sense! Knowing what treasure you're gonna find spoils the fun!
Aya & Nitori
Phew...
Momoyo
I'll be happy so long as I get to fight strong opponents! I wonder who I'll be up against!
Wriggle
Hmmm, it doesn't look like they know what it is.
Eternity Larva
I'm curious, but the important thing is to have fun! Let's just do our best to win!
Wriggle
Yeah! We'll find out what the prize is at the end!
Yamame
Hey, you guys! Can I ask you something?
Eternity Larva
Why, if it isn't Yamame! What's up?
Yamame
I kind of got separated from Kisume. Have you seen her?
Wriggle
It's really crowded, isn't it?! But sorry, I haven't seen her.
Eternity Larva
If we find her, we'll let her know you're looking for her!
Yamame
Thanks! I just hope she doesn't hit anyone in the head...
Wriggle & Eternity Larva
Huh?
Momoyo
Hey! So are you guys also participating? Or are you just here to watch?
Eternity Larva
Wriggle and I are participating! I don't know about Yamame and Kisume, though.
Yamame
Kisume's going to watch, but I'm competing!
Momoyo
The competition's starting soon. Do you guys wanna warm up?
Eternity Larva
That's a great idea! Let's have a little battle!
Momoyo
Hey, you lot.
Everyone
Wh-What?!
Momoyo
You did well! I'm looking forward to a proper battle when the competition begins!
Everyone
(Th-That was kinda scary!)
The Insanity Begins
Eternity Larva
Hmmm... Why haven't they started the competition yet?
Momoyo
They did announce it'd be starting soon...
Wriggle
Don't tell me it's canceled!
Yamame
No way! Not after we came all this way here!
Everyone
Why hasn't it started yet?!
Everyone
Maybe we should give up and go home.
Cirno
WHAT?! No competition even though the GREAT Cirno is here?!
Eternity Larva
Cirno! There you are! I lost sight of you, but it looks like you managed to sign up after all.
Cirno
GAH! This is so dumb! I thought this competition would finally let us decide who's stronger!
─That's when it happened. It came out of nowhere.
No, there was something that triggered it.
The ice fairy grew tired of waiting and kicked a basketball that was lying around to vent her frustration.
She had no idea it'd open up the door to fear and confusion─
Cirno
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
Eternity Larva
C-Cirno?!
Yamame
D-Did she just explode?!
Momoyo
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where did that ball come from?!
Wriggle
I-I don't know... There are so many people here. It could've come from anywhere.
Wriggle
This could happen to anyone if balls like that one are just scattered around!
Mystia
What's up with that?! Doesn't that mean it's dangerous to stay here?!
Rumia
I don't wanna explode. Maybe we should go back...
Rumia
Wait a minute... I don't think we can leave!
Mystia
That doesn't sound right─
Mystia
No way! What's going on?!
Eternity Larva
I dunno how long it's been there... but there's a barrier around the entire stadium.
Momoyo
So basically, we're trapped here...
Wriggle
Huh?! But why?! We've done nothing to deserve this─
Kisume
Yamame!
Yamame
Kisume! I'm so glad you're OK!
Kisume
I'm fine... but so much has happened since I last saw you.
Yamame
Tell me about it! And it all came out of nowhere...
Um... I'm sorry you all had to go through that!
Wriggle
Huh? Is that you, PLAYER?! Where are you?!
Eternity Larva
We can hear her, but I don't think she's here. Her voice can be heard all over the stadium. It's probably someone's ability.
Yamame
Hmmm, I've got a bad feeling about this.
Everyone
What do we do?! We're trapped!
Everyone
How can they do this?!
Everyone
Let us out!
PLAYER was not heard by those screaming in confusion. Panic began to take hold.
Mystia
How can you expect us to stay calm after seeing THAT?!
Cirno
I-It's been a while since I got sunburned...
Mystia
How did a mere kick cause the ball to explode?!
Kisume
A-Are you sure this is "just a game"?
And then another voice echoed through the stadium. It belonged to the host of the competition.
Okina
You've been entered into a very special event. One that you may not all survive. We call it The Secret God Games.
Thus began the insanity of the games...
An Explosive Start
Everyone
The Secret God Games...?
Wriggle
I wonder what it is. It doesn't sound like any competition I've heard of...
Momoyo
She said something about not all of us surviving.
Yamame
It sounds dangerous. Did you see what happened to Cirno? And let's not forget we're trapped here...
Eternity Larva
I might be crazy but...
Eternity Larva
I think the games have already begun.
???
Nice catch! That's why you're a fairy Master thinks highly of!
Satono
Yeah! She didn't even fall for the "gift" Master asked us to arrange.
Yamame
It's you! The two servants of the secret god!
Wriggle
What gift? Are you talking about the ball from earlier?!
Mai
Bingo! The basketball the ice fairy kicked was planted by us!
Satono
We put it there before the competition actually began. I'm glad it was a success!
Yamame
How can you call that a success?! That was just messed up!
Aya
Th-That was unbelievable! A sudden tragedy to kick off a terrifying and mysterious competition!
Nitori
I bet things are going to get crazier from here!
Aya & Nitori
What on earth is this competition about?!
Satono
OK, enough with the commentary! I'm not a fan of tengu, but I'll spare you.
Mai & Satono
BUT!
Mai
We'll be taking over now! You guys can go entertain the crowd over there.
Aya
Grrr! We're the commentators! You can't steal our job from us!
Nitori
Yeah! You can't just waltz in here and tell us what to do!
Mai & Satono
─You heard that, Master.
Aya & Nitori
Huh?
Everyone
Th-They blew up the commentators!
Momoyo
Is that what happens to whoever goes against the secret god?!
Yamame
Is that why it's called The Secret God Games? Because she's playing with us?!
Okina
You're wrong about that.
Okina
The games will be played by all those who signed up for the competition.
Okina
You'll be able to leave this place once all the games are over. Until then, you're stuck here.
Okina
That includes all the participants, the audience, and everyone who's set up a stall.
Okina
In short, unless you compete, no one will be able to leave.
Satono
If you don't wanna suffer the same fate as the ice fairy and the tengu, you better compete as if your life depends on it!
Mai
Oh, and we should mention, those who fail to win will be going out with a bang!
Wriggle
So basically, we need to keep winning to make it to the end of the games.
Yamame
That's what she meant when she said we may not all survive.
Momoyo
Seems that way. That's what this is all about.
Eternity Larva
So only the strongest survive... in The Secret God Games!
Insect Team-Up
In the competition waiting room. A little while after the insanity of the games had begun─
Eternity Larva
They told us to wait here until the first round.
Rumia
This place is so crowded!
Mystia
I was taken aback at first, but now I'm kinda looking forward to the competition!
Komachi
Why am I a participant all of a sudden? Although, taking part does seem more fun...
Parsee
My shaved ice will melt if we're made to wait much longer! I'm so jealous of the organizers. They just get to laze around.
Wriggle
Everyone seems pretty relaxed.
Everyone
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Eternity Larva
Another explosion... How many does that make it?
Eternity Larva
Are you guys sure you want to participate?
Yamame
I know these games are crazy, but yeah...
Momoyo
It's better than sitting around letting them toy with us.
Wriggle
Yeah, and─
Wriggle
They were nice enough to prepare costumes for us. I just want to get this all over with.
Eternity Larva
Agreed. I'm ready for whatever the Secret God Games have in store for us.
Eternity Larva
So I was thinking... why don't we form a team?
Momoyo
Why do that?
Eternity Larva
I mean, we don't know what kind of competition it's going to be. I figure it'll be easier to win if we work together...
Yamame
Hm, and it's not like they said we had to compete alone. OK, I'm in!
Wriggle
Me too! Having teammates is kind of reassuring!
Momoyo
...
Wriggle
Wh-What about you, Momoyo?
Momoyo
Competing in a team doesn't sound bad. Count me in!
Momoyo
Now let's win this together and find the organizers!
Eternity Larva
Hehe, sounds good to me!
Greater Youkai Co-Organizer
Oh, my. We've got some eager participants.
Great Tengu Co-Organizer
Are we going to allow them to work in teams?
It sounds fun to me!
Okina
Hm, well, if PLAYER is on board, then it should be fine.
Okina
Greetings to everyone in the waiting room. I will now explain the rules of the Secret God Games.
Okina
You're free to compete on your own or as part of a team.
Okina
As you can see, we've provided costumes for the games. It's up to you whether you want to wear them.
Okina
The costumes are specially designed for the games. However, you're allowed to participate in the clothes you came in.
Okina
Rest assured that our costumes are not rigged.
Okina
We'll soon be starting the first round. I wish you all good luck.
Wriggle
So this room is being watched too, huh?
Yamame
But now we can officially participate as a team!
Momoyo
These costumes have shady written all over them, but let's give them a go!
Eternity Larva
Yeah! Let's win this and teach that secret god a lesson!
Firefly Light
Mai
Gather up! It's time for the first round of this competition!
Satono
Is everyone ready?
Everyone
Ready!
Mai
That's the spirit! OK, now listen up!
Mai & Satono
For the first game, we have...
Mai & Satono
BLASTKET BAAAALL!
Satono
It's basically basketball using a special ball―the same one the ice fairy kicked.
Mai
The rules are simple! The first one to score a basket wins!
Momoyo
What's basketball?
Yamame
Umm... I think it's that sport... People sometimes shorten it to something, though... Oh, yeah! B-ball!
Everyone
Oooooooh!
Eternity Larva
Wait! I thought basketball or b-ball or whatever, was a team sport. And even we as a team don't have enough members!
Wriggle
But if it's a team sport, what about those who are going solo?
Mai
Relax! We have a special rule to take care of that as well!
Momoyo
There's nothing relaxing about any of this...
Satono
This game is played solo! All the teams will need to pick a representative to participate.
Mai
And I assume you know by now what'll happen to anyone who tries to cheat...
Mai & Satono
They and everyone who fails to score a basket will go KABOOM!
Eternity Larva
I knew it... These games are insane.
Wriggle
I thought we could work together, but all we can do is decide who gets to be in danger...
Momoyo
Yeah, but it's not like we can just skip this round. So who's gonna go from our team?
Mai
Ah, wait! I forgot to mention one more rule!
Mai
It'll get boring if everyone takes their sweet time. So there'll be a vision handicap for anyone who exceeds the time limit.
Satono
And if that doesn't do the trick, the game will end and everyone will explode.
Eternity Larva
As if it wasn't dangerous enough already, now there's a time limit.
Yamame
The "vision handicap" might mean we gotta play in the dark. Should I go since I'm used to it from living in the Underworld?
Wriggle
No, I'll go.
Everyone
Wriggle?!
Wriggle
I'm used to darkness, too. Plus, I can use my ability to control insects to navigate.
Wriggle
And this outfit is perfect for basketball.
Momoyo
OK, then! Wriggle can take on the first round!
Eternity Larva
We're counting on you, Wriggle!
Yamame
Go sink some baskets!
Wriggle
Yep! I'll see you guys in a bit!
Wriggle
...Huh?! How are you here?!
Wriggle
Cirno!
Cirno
HA HA HA! Did you really think the GREAT Cirno would be taken down by that puny ball?!
Wriggle
Th-This makes no sense! I saw you explode into smithereens with my own eyes!
Mystia
Who cares if it doesn't make sense? It's just good to see Cirno alive and well.
Rumia
Yeaaaaaaaah!
Wriggle
You fairies sure don't die easy, huh?
Aya
The insanity of The Secret God Games has finally begun!
Nitori
Who will survive?! The competition has us on the edge of our seats right from the get-go!
Wriggle
Those two commentators seem to be enjoying this!
Eternity Larva
Maybe exploding here isn't lethal?
Yamame
Now I feel silly for getting all worked up before.
Momoyo
But at least now we can focus on the game without worrying about dying in the process.
Eternity Larva
That's true. Anyway, let's cheer Wriggle on for now!
Cirno
I'M gonna score first!
Mystia & Rumia
Nuh-uh! I will!
Wriggle
This is getting even more confusing now, but I'm gonna give it all I've got!
Cirno
Whoa, there are so many balls here!
Wriggle
Those aren't balls, Cirno! ...Gah! She isn't listening!
Wriggle
Guess I need to find the real ball first!
Wriggle
Phew, I somehow managed to find it. Now I just need to score...
Mystia
This isn't a ball!
Rumia
Where's the real one?
Wriggle
I need to make my way to the basket quick...
To the Basket!
Wriggle
Wow, there are so many fairies in this competition. And all of them are pretty tough.
Wriggle
Are they carrying snacks with them...?
Wriggle
I hardly ever see fairies without snacks on them... Maybe they need them to stay energized?
Wriggle
I haven't got time to think about that now. I gotta get to that basket!
Wriggle
Phew, I got past them all. Just a little further to the basket!
Slam Dunk
Rumia
Aha! I found it!
Mystia
I should've known! Wriggle has the real ball!
Cirno
That ball is MINE!
Wriggle
I'd be at a disadvantage going up against all of them together!
Wriggle
I better take the long way round─
Mai & Satono
Tick-tock, tick-tock! Hurry before you run out of time!
Cirno
WHOA! It suddenly went dark!
Aya
The vision handicap has been activated! All the players are shrouded in darkness! Will they make it out in one piece?!
Nitori
Everyone in the audience, please stay calm and enjoy the competition... EEK! Stop throwing things at us!
Wriggle
Looks like we were right about the vision handicap.
Mystia
Now we're at an advantage! C'mon, now's our chance!
Rumia
Yeah! Playing in the dark is way more fun!
Wriggle
(I don't have to worry about Cirno now, but the others are closing in on me!)
Wriggle
(Then I guess I'll just...!)
Rumia
Where did Wriggle go?
Mystia
Oh, look at those lights over there! I bet that's her! She's probably using fireflies to see in the dark.
Cirno
I don't know where I am, but I'm gonna follow the lights!
Rumia
Huh? There's nothing but fireflies here...
Mystia
Don't tell me she used them as a decoy!
Cirno
What? I dunno what's going on, but I'm gonna find Wriggle!
Wriggle
I finally made it to the basket! Now I just need to score!
Mystia
Found you!
Cirno
I can't see nothing, but yeah... found you!
Rumia
Now let's take that ball with a battle of bullets!
Wriggle
We don't have time for that! We'll explode soon!
Mystia, Rumia & Cirno
Then we'll explode together!
Wriggle
You're all crazy!
Wriggle
I somehow managed to fend them off...
Mai
And I assume you know by now what'll happen to anyone who tries to cheat...
Mai & Satono
They and everyone who fails to score a basket will go KABOOM!
Wriggle
Rumia, Mystia, Cirno...
Wriggle
...I'm sorry.
Aya & Nitori
WRIGGLE SCORES!
Cirno
I'll be back!
Rumia
I wanna eat meat!
Mystia
Make sure to stop by my eel restaurant!
Wriggle
...
Aya & Nitori
Th-That was...
Aya & Nitori
AMAZING! Beautiful last words from our players!
Wriggle
Huh?
Wriggle
Is it just me, or are they cheering more for the explosions than they did for my shot?
Mystia, Rumia & Cirno
That made exploding totally worth it!
Wriggle
Why are you guys so happy?!
Eternity Larva
Congratulations, Wriggle! The way you scored a basket in the dark was amazing!
Yamame
My hands are all sweaty just from watching. We need to buckle up!
Momoyo
Those were some gutsy moves! Well done, Wriggle!
Wriggle
Hehe, thanks!
A Hop, Skip, And a Jump
The first round's over! Seems like everyone had fun!
What was the game called again? Boomball, was it?
Great Tengu Co-Organizer
Hm, I think it was Kaboomball.
Greater Youkai Co-Organizer
No, it was Bombball.
Okina
Get it right. It's Blastketball.
(I guess Miss Okina really likes it...!)
Greater Youkai Co-Organizer
It's such a great occasion. It'd be a shame to let it go to waste by not enjoying ourselves.
Great Tengu Co-Organizer
But I must admit, I didn't expect the competition to be such a hit.
Okina
The games have just begun! Let's move on to the next round.
I hope everyone enjoys this one too!
What's the name of the next game?
Okina
It's called─
Okina
Uh... What was it again?
Everyone
Did we hear that right...?
Everyone
Super High Jump?!
Aya
Super High Jump? That sounds super dangerous! How much more insanity is in store for the participants?!
Nitori
Just look at the crazily high bar and massive pole they've prepared for the game! This is gonna get intense!
Aya & Nitori
*nervous glance*
Mai & Satono
*smug smile*
Aya & Nitori
O-Our commentators Miss Satono and Miss Mai will explain the rest!
Satono
The rules are simple! It's basically pole vault.
Mai
You're free to use a pole or go it on your own. But beware, you'll blow up the moment your body touches the bar.
Satono
Oh, and you're not allowed to fly. Other than that, you can use your abilities as you please.
Mai & Satono
It's as simple as that! Good luck, everyone!
Momoyo
Yet another completely insane game.
Wriggle
They could've just let us fly! It would've been more fun that way. But then again, the game would probably never end.
Yamame
Oh, well. We better stop complaining, or else they'll blow us all up.
Eternity Larva
Yeah, you're right. OK, so since Wriggle already went once, one of us three will have to do this high jump thing!
Yamame
I'll go. If we're allowed to use our abilities, then I think I know a way to win!
Eternity Larva
Awesome! OK, we'll let you handle round two!
Aya
Whoa! Everyone's really going all out with their abilities to make the jump!
Parsee
I'm so jealous of everyone's jumping!
Parsee
It's my turn to show some jealous power!
Aya
Oh, wow! What a jump from the underdog! Or should I say, Underworld-dog!
Nitori
The stadium's flooded, plants are growing all over, and there are mountains of shaved ice building up! It's madness!
Yamame
I can't afford to lose! It's my turn now─
Aya & Nitori
I don't believe it! She used her spider webs to jump even higher!
Nitori
She's definitely a strong contender!
???
Not so fast!
Cirno
I'M NEXT!
Wriggle
You gotta be kidding me.
Momoyo
I can't tell which is more insane, the games or her...
Eternity Larva
Is she... eating?
Cirno
HEH HEH HEH! I'm all pumped up thanks to this candy I got from Dai!
Daiyousei
Go for it, Cirno!
Yamame
In a way, she's the most dangerous one out here. But victory is gonna be mine!
Aya
The bar is set pretty high now, but there's still no end in sight!
Nitori
Everyone's hanging in there. But for how much longer?!
Mai & Satono
Time to introduce a new rule!
Mai
Now you'll have to jump while fighting in battles of bullets!
Satono
If you lose a battle, you're out. You'll have to avoid the bar AND a whole bunch of bullets!
Yamame
Just when I thought this couldn't get any crazier...
Yamame
But nothing's gonna stop me from winning!
Jumping For... Madness?
Minamitsu
Battling while doing high jumps isn't easy!
Kogasa
I keep wanting to fly so I can dodge better!
Cirno
I'm gonna win both! 'Cause I'm the STRONGEST!
Minamitsu & Kogasa
AAAAAAH!
Parsee
How do they have so much energy?! I'm so jealous!
Yamame
Now, now... it's not that bad... Huh? Where are you going?
Yuuka
I need a little break. You guys can go ahead with the battle.
Yamame
Suit yourself. I'm gonna keep jumping!
Yamame
No, wait... Isn't this supposed to be a battle?
Yamame
Hmmm, whatever!
Kogasa
Be surprised by this blast!
Minamitsu
Join Myouren Temple!
Cirno
Dai, thanks for the candy!
Parsee
I'm jealous I didn't get the time to be jealous because of the explosー
Parsee
At least let me finish talking!
Yamame
That was tough, but I made it through. Now there's only one opponent left...
Yuuka
...
When Tsuchigumo Fly
Nitori
We're down to two players! The winner of the battle, Yamame Kurodani, and the well-rested Yuuka Kazami!
Aya
Which one will survive this round?! This is the showdown to watch!
Yuuka
...
Yamame
(I can feel the tension in the air!)
Yamame
(I can't afford to lose!)
Yamame
She's as strong as she looks. I might be in trouble soon!
Yuuka
You fought well. It's not easy to win a battle with all this insanity going on.
Yamame
Huh?
Yuuka
Hey, you two. Yeah, you, the secret god's servants.
Yuuka
I withdraw.
Mai & Satono
HUH?!
Yuuka
Didn't you hear me? I said I withdraw.
Mai
You can't do that! You have to fight till there's only one standing!
Satono
Yeah! That's not allowed!
Mai & Satono
If you're going to abandon the game, then we'll have to blow you up!
Yuuka
Blow me up? Me, you say? Do you know whom you're talking to?
Mai & Satono
EEEEEEEEEP! Maaaaaaaaaster, heeeeelp!
Why withdraw? Were you not having fun?
Yuuka
That's not why I'm quitting, PLAYER.
Yuuka
I just don't want to dance to someone else's tunes. Putting on a show for others isn't my cup of tea.
Yuuka
It's not your fault.
Miss Yuuka...!
Yuuka
And to the ones watching alongside PLAYER...
Yuuka
I'd love to have a battle with you instead. But if that's not going to happen, I'm pulling out.
Okina
...
Yamame
(This is getting confusing again, but she's kinda cool for standing up to them...)
Okina
Hehehe... HAHAHA! You truly are the Flower Master of the Four Seasons.
Okina
Very well. I'll give you what you want.
Yuuka
Good. Then let's end this by declaring the tsuchigumo the winner.
Yuuka
Oh, and─
Yuuka
If you want to blow someone up, you can blow up those two tengu over there. I'm sure you'd like that.
Hatate & Aya
HUUUUUUUH?!
Hatate & Aya
I'm just here as a reporter! I'm just here as a commentator!
Hatate & Aya
You can't blow us up! That's insane!
Okina
I like that idea!
Hatate & Aya
No way!
Nitori
(Phew, I'm glad I'm not a tengu.)
Kisume
Y-Yamame! I'm so glad you're all right!
Yamame
Kisume...
Kisume
Everyone's waiting for you over there. C'mon, let's go. It's not safe here.
Yamame
...
Kisume
What's wrong, Yamame?
Yamame
It won't look good if I leave right now...
Yamame
I'm gonna jump over the tallest bar! Then I'll be able to go back with my head held high!
Kisume
Wh-What?! You don't need to take that risk...
Kisume
No, it's OK... If that's what you want to do, then I'm rooting for you!
Yamame
Thanks, Kisume! Get ready to see a perfect jump!
Yamame
Here I go!
Momoyo
Whoa! I can't believe how high she jumped!
Wriggle
Yeah, that was impressive! None of us would've been able to do that!
Eternity Larva
Yamame! You rock!
Yamame
Wow, I never realized how beautiful the sky is... I guess it's because I live in the Underworld.
Yamame
It's so blue... I would've never seen it like this if I hadn't made that jump.
Yamame
Nor would I have seen how beautiful the Earth looks from up here.
Hard Working Halftime
Nitori
Thirsty or hungry after all that cheering? We've got all sorts of food available, and also this mysterious mushroom drink!
Aya
Any injuries caused by the explosions? Please inform the rescue team immediately if you need help!
Aya & Nitori
Wait... how did we end up doing this?!
A little while ago, after the end of the second round─
Aya
And that brings round two to a dramatic end! What do we have in store for round three?!
Nitori
You sure are full of energy for someone who was just blown up...
Mai
OK, listen up! We've got a message from Master! She says...
Satono
"I'm tired from watching the games, so let's take a break before round three."
Aya & Nitori
Huh?!
Good job, everyone!
Rest up before the next round!
Satono
But a plain old break is boring. That's why we have a mini-game planned for the two of you!
Aya & Nitori
Huuuuuuuuuh?!
Mai
And you obviously don't have the right to refuse! Let us explain!
Aya & Nitori
HUUUUUUUUUUH?!
Aya
I understand it's break time, but...
Aya
Why am I stuck helping the rescue team?!
Nitori
Beats me.
Nitori
I'm a delivery person, not a chef!
Nitori
Wait, no! Kappa are engineers!
Aya
They just keep coming up with more and more crazy rules! I wish round three would start already!
Nitori
I know, right?! I can't believe they're not letting us―
Hatate
What are you doing slacking off, Aya?! You need to come help with the scoop... I mean, with the rescue team!
Momiji
So you're after a scoop, huh? I knew it was strange you wanted to help the rescue team.
Momiji
Anyway, let's go, Miss Aya.
Aya
O-OK...
Kutaka
Ah, I finally found you! We need to take care of the orders. They're starting to pile up!
Takane
This is a great business opportunity for me... I mean, we need to get people their food, so let's hurry!
Nitori
So even you have ulterior motives.
Nitori
Oh, well... Show me the orders.
Nitori
We need to think of a way to get the food these people want since we can't leave the stadium to get any from outside.
Kokoro
Grrrr! You've got some nerve to be slacking off like that!
Nitori
We aren't slacking off. We can't get food from outside, so we were thinking about what to do.
Kokoro
Why would anyone order anything but my bento?! Something's not right here!
Nitori
Don't you think you're taking this a bit personally?!
Shion
Are you selling bento?!
Shion
Oh, wow! You've got so many things to eat!
Everyone
Huh?!
Aya
*sigh* Working with the rescue team is hard work. Forget Hatate, why are you doing this, Momiji?
Momiji
I was on security duty, but they told me the rescue team was shorthanded, so...
Momiji
I never thought I'd have to wear this outfit, though...
Hatate
I feel you.
Komachi
Oh, hey. You guys are on the rescue team, aren't you? Can you show me to the first-aid station, please?
Aya
Sure... but you seem fine to me. Why do you need first-aid?
Komachi
Eh? Uh... I-I have a headache! And a stomachache! And... And I'm dizzy, and my whole body is covered in cuts!
Momiji
That sounds... extremely shady.
Komachi
Not at all! C'mon, take me there already!
Eiki
I can't believe Komachi is skipping out on work to take part in this competition!
Komachi
EEEK! There she is... I really didn't think Lady Eiki would come to watch.
Aya
Oh... so you wanted to go to the first-aid station to hide from Miss Eiki.
Komachi
Please, just take me there! I beg you!
Shion
Please, give me all of your food! I beg you!
Nitori
No way!
Aya
Can't do that!
Aya
*sigh* When is the break going to end...
Nitori
You're having a hard time too, huh? I wanna go back to commentating already.
Aya
The heat of the competition! The suspense! And our spirited commentary echoing through the stadium!
Nitori
I can't wait for the third round! I wanna know what game will be next and who the challengers will be!
Aya & Nitori
Huh...?
Satono
We have a mini game for the two of you!
Mai
And you obviously don't have the right to refuse! Let us explain!
Satono
You'll have to help the staff out here. In the meanwhile, certain activities are forbidden!
Aya & Nitori
What activities?
Mai
We're, of course, talking about─
Aya
Reporting...
Nitori
...And commentating.
Aya & Nitori
We hope you're as excited as we are for the third round!
Centipede’s Got Rhythm
Eternity Larva
Oh, it looks like break time is up.
Wriggle
I wonder what the next round is going to be.
Yamame
Well, we know it's going to be something crazy.
Momoyo
Yeah, let's see what they have to say.
Satono
OK, now on to the third game! We call this...
Mai & Satono
Rhythmic Gymnastics Treasure Hunt!
Mai
All participants will have to perform rhythmic gymnastics, and you're not allowed to stop until you've won the game!
Eternity Larva
And how do we do that?
Satono
We've hidden a couple of treasure chests around the stadium. First one to open the winning chest... wins!
Mai
But be warned! If at any moment you stop performing or open the wrong treasure chest...
Mai & Satono
You'll explode!
Wriggle
That's hardly a surprise.
Yamame
Figured as much.
Momoyo
OK, I'll take part in this one.
Momoyo
I don't know about rhythmic gymnastics, but treasure hunting is my thing!
Eternity Larva
OK, then I'll participate in the next one! We're counting on you for this round!
Momoyo
I didn't expect rhythmic gymnastics to be this fun!
Great Tengu Co-Organizer
Getting that costume made for Momoyo paid off!
Miss Iizunamaru, they can hear you!
Momoyo
Was that... Iizunamaru and PLAYER?
Reisen
Ah! I found a treasure chest!
Reisen
I hope it's the right one!
Reisen
Well, it didn't hurt as much as crashing into space debris!
Nazrin
Treasure hunting is a piece of cake with my dowsing.
Nazrin
Oh, no... I was so focused on my dowsing rod that I stopped performing─
Nazrin
Please don't lose your Jeweled Pagoda, Masteeer!
Momoyo
All those who were relying on luck or pieces of equipment to clear this are messing up and getting eliminated...
Momoyo
The only ones remaining are...
Hina
Hmmm, none of these chests feel like the right one. This one's probably not it either.
Cirno
I'll open this one!
Cirno
Sunny, thanks for the sugar candyyyy!
Momoyo
Her again?! Is there a prize for competing in every round or something?! Guess blowing up isn't enough to scare her off!
Momoyo
Now there's only two of us left.
Momoyo
It's gonna come down who can keep performing the longest or who can find the right chest. There can only be one winner.
Momoyo
Me...
Momoyo
...Or the misfortune god.
Time to Dig Deep
Momoyo
This treasure chest is probably the wrong one. I can't be sure what's inside without opening it, but I can tell it's not right.
Momoyo
Hmm, that thing over there is kinda strange.
Momoyo
Maybe I should dig it up and see what it is!
Momoyo
Gah! These fairies sure are tough. They keep eating candies and coming back like the ice fairy.
Momoyo
Guess I gotta force my way through!
Hina
H-Hold it right there! What are you doing at the edge of the field?!
Momoyo
Huh? Digging for treasure, of course. It's nowhere to be found up top.
Hina
But where are you digging to?
Hina
This stadium's on top of a lake. There's no ground underneath.
Momoyo
I know, I know. I'm just gonna dig through the floor a bit.
Hina
Wh-What do you mean?!
Momoyo
OK, since you're the only other person who's made it this far, I'll tell you.
The Real Treasure
Momoyo
The floor here is all bumpy and covered in fresh scratches. Even with all the battles going on, it doesn't make sense.
Hina
Y-You're right... I didn't notice at all. Nice catch.
Momoyo
Well, digging is my thing, so it's no big deal for me to pick up on something like that.
Satono
Mai, it looks like the oomukade has figured out where the treasure is hidden.
Mai
Really? Maybe I should've been more careful while hiding it.
Satono
Gosh, Mai! You're SO going to get yelled at by Master.
Mai & Satono
If she's found it, then we just gotta...
Momoyo
OK, time to dig!
Momoyo
What are you going to do by the way?
Hina
Huh, me?
Momoyo
If I find the treasure, you'll lose by default.
Momoyo
You can win if you dig it up before I do, or if you steal it from me...
Momoyo
But I'm too strong for you to do either of those things.
Hina
That's true. I don't stand a chance.
Momoyo
Then why don't you dig with me?
Hina
Huh?
Momoyo
If we both dig it up and open it at the same time, we'll both be declared winners.
Momoyo
They didn't say there could only be one winner!
Hina
B-But this competition is crazy. You never know. They might just say they forgot to mention it, and blow us up.
Momoyo
Then we'll explode together!
Hina
Are you serious...?
Momoyo
So what are you gonna do? I won't force you. You can decide for yourself.
Hina
I'll─
Mai & Satono
We're back!
Momoyo
Why are you here?
Mai
We're commentators! It's our job to interview the players.
Satono
Look, even the fairies are coming back to see what's happening!
Momoyo
You're just making up excuses to get in our way. That's not very nice.
Momoyo
What's wrong?
Hina
I'll watch your back while you dig.
Hina
So you better win and put an end to this crazy competition!
Momoyo
You bet I will!
Mai
I don't like how we're being treated as the bad guys.
Satono
Let's leave the misfortune god to the fairies. We'll go after the oomukade.
Mai
Whichever of them survives the longest wins!
Hina
Those two servants are coming your way!
Momoyo
I'm trying to dig over here! Stop getting in the way, you crazy secret god servants!
Momoyo
Aha! I finally dug it up!
Hina
Good job!
Mai & Satono
Arrrgh! How are you so strong?!
Satono
Sorry to interrupt your celebrations, but there can be only one winner.
Mai
What will you do?! The real treasure is right in front of you! Will you abandon the misfortune god?
Hina
I'm fine with that. She's the one who found it anyway.
Momoyo
A-Are you sure...?
Hina
You better keep your promise!
Momoyo
I will.
Aya
Wh-What just happened?! The misfortune god gave up on the treasure and blew up!
Nitori
The audience is going crazy! No one expected this outcome.
Momoyo
It isn't over yet. We need to keep winning.
Hina
Give it all you've got!
Momoyo
How come you're so upbeat?!
Mai
Why wouldn't she be? It's not like getting blown up is fatal.
Satono
Even so, she does look kinda cheerful.
Hina
I was spinning nonstop while performing. It was exhausting.
Hina
But now that I've lost, I can go and cheer from the audience!
Momoyo
...
Momoyo
Hahaha! There's never a dull moment around here!
Insanity at Its Finest
Greater Youkai Co-Organizer
That last round was quite entertaining.
I agree! Everyone did their best!
Hina and Momoyo were like the perfect team!
Great Tengu Co-Organizer
Yes, but Momoyo really stole the show!
Great Tengu Co-Organizer
Maybe I'll get another outfit made for her. Tsukasa won't like it, but I can just tell her it's a business expense.
Calm down, Miss Iizunamaru!
Miss Okina, please stop Miss Iizunamaru!
Okina
I knew this is where my two servants would get to shine. Everyone got to see how charming they are. I'm so happy.
Okina
But that might attract haters. Hmm, what should I do? ...Wait, maybe having haters will add to their fame.
Greater Youkai Co-Organizer
It's pointless trying to talk to either of them right now.
Greater Youkai Co-Organizer
Instead, let's focus on the final round. It's about to begin.
Mai & Satono
It's finally time for the last round!
Everyone
HUH?!
Wriggle
Only four? I thought we were just getting started.
Yamame
We teamed up and took turns to conserve our energy, but it looks like we were overthinking it.
Momoyo
Anyway, the competition will be over soon. Let's give it our best till the very end!
Eternity Larva
Yeah! I don't know what they're going to throw at us next, but let's win this!
Nitori
I can't believe THIS is the final game.
Aya
It looks simple, but it's the most dangerous one! I'm curious to see who'll come out on top!
Eternity Larva
A plain old hurdle race? I was nervous for nothing.
Daiyousei
I was just going with the flow when I decided to participate, but I'll admit that I'm a bit relieved.
Lily White
Me too...
Clownpiece
It could've been more LUNATIC!
Cirno
YEAH!
Eternity Larva
Cirno, are you seriously participating in all of the games?!
Luna Child
Um...
Eternity Larva
What is it, Luna?
Luna Child
Don't you think there are too many hurdles?
Sunny Milk
Whoa, you're right! They're lined up so close!
Star Sapphire
It's gonna be so difficult to jump over them. Jumping over one might knock down the next.
Eternity Larva
So what happens if we knock down a hurdle? Is there a penalty?
Mai & Satono
Of course!
Satono
You'll be disqualified the moment you knock one down! And by disqualified, I mean blown up!
Mai
But other than that, it's a plain old hurdle race! So good luck, everyone!
Satono
Oh, and since it's a hurdle race, flying is prohibited. Anyone caught cheating will instantly explode!
Eternity Larva
Welp, some things never change.
Eternity Larva
It looks like we gotta do this by the book.
Star Sapphire
Are we allowed to use powers that don't involve flying? They didn't specify like they did before.
Komachi
If we are, then I can use my ability to finish this in no time!
Sunny Milk
Manipulating distance to reach the end is cheating!
Komachi
But it's not like I'm flying. I'm not breaking any rules.
Komachi
Huh?
Komachi
Please don't scold me, Lady Eiki!
Lily White
Whoa, she blew up!
Luna Child
Maybe when they said it's a plain old hurdle race, they meant we aren't allowed to use our abilities.
Everyone
WHAT?!
Eternity Larva
No abilities, huh? Well, it figures, considering whose competition this is.
Eternity Larva
Right, Okina Matara?
Hurdles and Bullets
Clownpiece
Running a normal obstacle race is so boring. And I'm tired already!
Eternity Larva
I know, right?
Eternity Larva
Whoa, what are you doing?!
Clownpiece
Looks like battles of bullets aren't against the rules!
Three Fairies
Let's race AND battle!
Everyone
HUUUUUH?!
Cirno
Ooooh, sounds like fun! I'm in!
Daiyousei
Did you hear that?
Eternity Larva
Yeah, but it was probably nothing.
Eternity Larva
Thanks to the battle of bullets, I'm way ahead of everyone else! Just gotta make it to the finish line!
The Strongest Fairy
Eternity Larva
Yes! I finally see the finish line! I just gotta keep up this pace and then I'll also get a win for the team─
Cirno
AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH!
Eternity Larva
C-Cirno?!
Cirno
So what if I blow up!
Aya
I can't believe what I'm seeing! She's kicking down the hurdles and catching up to Larva WHILE EXPLODING!
Nitori
She keeps eating candy to recover! This is some crazy technique! She sure has guts!
Eternity Larva
I get that you want to win, but aren't you going a bit overboard?!
Cirno
Yeah, I wanna win, but it's not just about that!
Eternity Larva
Huh?
Cirno
It's because we said we'd use this competition to decide who's the strongest!
Eternity Larva
We did...?
Cirno
I'm gonna take part to prove I'm the STRONGEST and win the EPIC prize!
Eternity Larva
I'm competing too, then!
Eternity Larva
I want that prize, but more than that, I wanna beat you. I might have lost summer to you back then...
Eternity Larva
...but this time I'm gonna prove I've got the strength to create a future for us fairies!
Eternity Larva
Oh, yeah! Now I remember.
Eternity Larva
A lot's happened since then, but I still feel the same!
Eternity Larva
C'mon, Cirno! It's time to prove who's the strongest fairy!
Cirno
YEAH! I'm not gonna lose!
Cirno
AAAAAAAAARRRGH!
Eternity Larva
Take that!
Aya
They're battling each other and sprinting toward the finish line at the same time!
Nitori
Who's going to get there first?!
Aya & Nitori
And the winner is...
Aya & Nitori
ETERNITY LARVA!
Eternity Larva
YAY! I did it!
Cirno
OK, I admit it... I lost!
Eternity Larva
Cirno...
Cirno
BUT!
Cirno
I regret nothing!
And as Cirno exploded for the umpteenth time that day, the Secret God Games came to an end─
Fairies
Congratulations, Larva!
Sunny Milk
Huh? Why haven't we exploded yet?
Fairies
We shouldn't have said anythiiing!
An Insane Finish
Eternity Larva
Good job, everyone!
Wriggle
We made it to the end without losing a single round!
Momoyo
Now we just need to wait for them to announce the winners!
Yamame
I hope they don't come up with something crazy at this stage.
Eternity Larva
I think it'll be fine.
Wriggle
Why do you think so?
Eternity Larva
I don't know, I just do.
Everyone
Oh, look! It's Okina Matara!
Momoyo
Iizunamaru and the gap youkai are also with her. Now I get why this competition was so convoluted.
Wriggle
PLAYER is with them too. She probably got dragged into it.
Yamame
We had it rough, but it must've been worse for her.
Okina
Well done to everyone who participated in the games. We will now be announcing the winner.
Okina
The individual or team with the most victories...
Okina
And the overall winner is─
Okina
A team of four! A round of applause for Eternity Larva, Wriggle Nightbug, Yamame Kurodani, and Momoyo Himemushi!
Wriggle
W-We really won...
Eternity Larva
I told you we'd make a good team! Now let's celebrate!
Momoyo
Yeah!
Yukari
As promised, we've removed the barrier that was surrounding the stadium. You're free to go, but please, no pushing!
Everyone
She's right, the barrier's gone! We can leave!
Yamame
Phew! Now Kisume and all the other audience members can safely go back home.
Okina
OK, it's now time to give you your prize.
Eternity Larva
Oh, right! I completely forgot about that. The epic, legendary "thing!"
Wriggle
So what exactly is it?
I'll hand them out!
Congrats, everyone!
Everyone
I-Is this...
Everyone
The Great Tengu's Barley Rice?!
Megumu
I made a lot of it. You can eat as much as you like.
Everyone
...
Momoyo
Iizunamaru's barley rice is delicious! I can't believe we get to eat so much of it!
Wriggle
I heard it's really nutritious! This is awesome!
Yamame
Coming up here and working hard has finally paid off!
Eternity Larva
It's thanks to all the effort everyone put in!
Megumu
I'm glad to see you all like it. It was definitely worth making it all.
There's so much! Can we give some to the others, too?
Maybe we can hand it out as a participation prize?
Cirno
Really?! OK, I'll take some!
Okina
I didn't expect the Secret God Games to be such a hit. Maybe we should consider holding them again.
Eternity Larva
By the way, why did you decide to do this to begin with?
Okina
Well, I was taking a look at different art forms in the outside world through a back door...
Okina
And I saw this peculiar competition, where people were risking their lives to win a large sum of money.
Okina
There were plenty of escape room games too, where the contestants had to compete to get out of a locked space.
Okina
I thought we'd try the same thing in Gensokyo, and, if everyone liked it, it could be a new form of entertainment.
I helped with the rules and the setup to make it safe!
I was so relieved to see everyone enjoy the games!
Wriggle
I was shocked at first, but looking back, it was a lot of fun!
Momoyo
I got so into the games that I completely forgot about getting back at that secret god.
Yamame
Yeah! And it feels like I got a good workout!
Eternity Larva
I'd love to compete with everyone again and make some more fun-filled memories!
Eternity Larva
All right, but this barley rice isn't gonna eat itself...!
Everyone
Let's dig in!
Okina
Oh, there's one more thing.
Okina
I didn't want anyone to sneak in and steal the rice before the competition was over...
Okina
Which is why I made it so anyone who tries to eat it blows up.
Okina
Aaaand I forgot to undo it.
Everyone
Huh?
Everyone
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
Meanwhile, not so far from the stadium in the Scarlet Devil Mansion─
Remilia
Oh, my. The competition seemed interesting, but the whole venue suddenly blew up.
Remilia
Well, whatever. I was getting bored of it anyway. I'll go have some tea─
Remilia
ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEE?!
And so, the Secret God Games ended with a bang.
The triumphant blasts at the Misty Lake (and the Scarlet Devil Mansion) will not soon be forgotten.
The Insanity Begins... Again
Okina
The Secret God Games were a huge success.
Yukari
They really were. They even ended with fireworks... Sort of.
Megumu
We lost the entire stadium in the explosion, but if you're thinking of holding the games again sometime, I'd like to help.
Me too!
Okina
Thanks, PLAYER. OK, let's wrap this up.
Remilia
Not so fast!
Remilia
You blasted my whole mansion with your "fireworks."
Remilia
It's falling to pieces because of you!
Everyone
...
Eternity Larva
I get why Remilia is mad at Okina and the other organizers, but why did she ask us to come?
Momoyo
There are even people who weren't present for the competition here.
Okina
The damage dealt to the Scarlet Devil Mansion was a slipup on our end.
Okina
The explosion at the end was just a trial run for the next event. We didn't expect it to reach as far as your mansion.
Remilia
Oh, really? I guess it's fine then.
Remilia
NOT!
Yamame
So what exactly do you want from all of us?
Wriggle
I'm sure you could've found more powerful youkai to help you with the repairs.
Remilia
That's not why I asked you all to come.
Remilia
Being the mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, I can't let this slide.
Remilia
That's why I'm organizing a closing event for the victims of the Secret God Games!
Everyone
HUUUUH?!
Megumu
Oh, that sounds exciting.
Yukari
Indeed. Good luck to all the participants.
Okina
OK then, we'll be on our way now.
Meiling & Sakuya
Do you really think we'll let you off so easy?
Flandre
Especially YOU, Okina! Nooooo way I'm gonna let you go!
Miss Okina, I think we should do as they say!
Okina
I guess you're right.
Okina
If they're that determined to stop us leaving, we may as well participate. Perhaps it'll even be fun.
Okina
All right, I'm in!
Flandre
It ain't like you gotta choice!
Yamame
We're also being forced to participate, aren't we?
Eternity Larva
Pretty much.
Remilia
Let the fun begin!
Hallway Impossible
Remilia
We will now begin the first game!
Momoyo
Um, but...
Eternity Larva
What can we possibly do in this hallway?
Remilia
You simply have to walk down it to reach the next location.
Eternity Larva
So all we have to do is walk?
Wriggle
But that's nothing like the Secret God Games.
Yamame
Not that we're complaining.
Remilia
Don't worry, this is an ingenious game inspired by the Secret God Games. I call it─
Remilia
Nostalgic Bullet Time!
Remilia
Reisen and Reisen will be my helpers!
Reisen & Reisen
Let's do this!
Momoyo
Whoa, look! There are strange red lights in the hallway!
Wriggle
So there are bullets AND red lasers. I wonder what they are.
Eternity Larva
Um, so we basically need to dodge their bullets and get to the end of the corridor, right?
Mai
Hey, doesn't this remind you of one of the movies Master was watching through a back door?
Satono
Ah, yes! The one where they do tricks and dodge bullets in slow-motion. I think it was called May Tricks...!
Mai
Yeah! Now we're the contestants, we can try some of the tricks!
Satono
Plus, I'm sure our dancing skills will come in handy!
Eternity Larva
Huh?! You're jumping in already?! We don't even know what the game is about yet!
Mai
We just gotta dodge the bullets, right? We're going first!
Satono
There are too many lasers and bullets flying all over! One careless move, and we're done for.
Mai
A few hits won't do much harm. Let's just focus on speed and style!
Mai
Uh-oh...
Remilia
Oh, I forgot to mention...
Remilia
If you're hit by a bullet or laser―
Remilia
You blow up!
Mai
I wanna go back to being a commentator!
Satono
Why do I get blown up too?! I wasn't hit by anything!
Marisa
Whoa, that explosion just now tilted the mansion even further off center!
Reimu
I had no idea what I was getting into. Are all the games seriously this dangerous?
Marisa
Yeah, this is madness!
Remilia
My mansion is already ruined! I couldn't care less about what happens to it now.
Reimu
Huh?! You know if it collapses, you won't be able to escape, right?!
Remilia
Of course.
Remilia
But more importantly!
Remilia
We've arranged an extravagant prize for the winner!
Everyone
S-Say what?!
Remilia
All the scaredy cats can leave for all I care.
Remilia
Except the secret god group, of course.
Yukari
She sure has it out for us.
Um, good luck!
(This whole event seems to be designed for them.)
Remilia
So what will it be?
Reimu & Marisa
There's no way...
Reimu & Marisa
...we're backing out now!
Remilia
That's the spirit. Let me just add one more rule.
Remilia
You now also have to disable the source of the bullets and lasers.
Reisen & Reisen
Huh...?
Reimu
OK! I'll show you how it's done!
Reisen
Y-You didn't tell us about this!
Reisen
We're not going to go down without a fight!
Momoyo
Everyone seems pretty fired up. So, do you guys wanna team up again?
Wriggle
Let's do it. This corridor's pretty narrow. Plus, it'll be tiring to compete in all the weird games alone.
Yamame
OK then, I'll take this one. There weren't any rules against using our abilities, and mine's perfect for this game.
Remilia
Enjoy the game, everyone!
Yamame
I made it. But it looks like a lot of the others didn't, including Mai and Satono.
Marisa
What could the prize be? I hope it's some cool magic item.
Reimu
Maybe I should've brought the shrine offering box with me. Getting that filled up would be better than an item.
Yamame
No surprise to see the shrine maiden and magician survived... They can be pretty tenacious when they want to be.
Which Meiling? That Meiling!
Remilia
I'm glad to see we still have so many enthusiastic participants.
Megumu
I'd prefer to go home as soon as possible, though.
These games are pretty crazy too, but...
Now we get to see what it's like to participate!
Okina
You're right. And it may even help us organize future games.
Megumu
It's all a matter of perspective.
Yukari
Aren't we just participating because Remilia is forcing us to?
Remilia
Welcome to what's left of our garden. This is where you'll be playing the next game. Yes, it's an outdoor game.
Remilia
We call it Whichball!
Remilia
The rules are simple. Those who manage to strike our gatekeeper, Meiling, with a ball can proceed to the next game.
Momoyo
This one seems easy.
Remilia
Hehe, you think? Well, maybe it'd be easy if you knew WHICH Meiling was the real one.
Eternity Larva
Wh-What do you mean?
Meiling
C'mon! Who's confident enough to go first?!
Everyone
...
Wriggle
They say it like there's more than one Meiling, but she's just moving really fast, creating illusions of herself, right?
Yamame
Yeah, pretty much. Rather than figuring out which one's real, it's more about throwing at the right time.
Meiling
H-Hurry up!
Remilia
Oh, and you get only once chance. If you miss, or drop the ball before throwing it, you lose.
Remilia
And you'll be blown up, of course.
Momoyo
I'm getting the hang of how these games work now.
Wriggle
I'll handle this one. It's pretty similar to the one I played at the real Secret God Games.
Meiling
(Wh-Why isn't anyone throwing their ball?! I'm getting tired running around like this!)
Meiling
Huh? Are those fireflies? In broad daylight?
Meiling
So pretty!
Wriggle
Now's my chance!
Meiling
Huh?! O-Oh no!
Meiling
Why do I get blown up?!
Remilia
Oops, I forgot to tell her.
Yamame
Even if you didn't hit her, I feel like she would've tired herself out eventually.
Remilia
Congrats! Everyone cleared the second game. But will you be able to clear the next one?
Eternity Larva
How is this a game? I just see really expensive items lined up.
Wriggle
And they're obviously not rewards for us. Hm, I wonder what they're for...
Remilia
You'll be shown two items at a time, and you have to decide which is real and which is fake.
Remilia
But simply looking at the items would be boring, so you're not allowed to stand still.
Reimu
Huh? You mean we have to keep moving?
Remilia
Indeed. After all, this game is called─
Remilia
Rhyth-Mimic Gymnastics!
Everyone
...
Reimu & Marisa
What?
Sakuya
Don't worry, Lady Remilia. It's a HILARIOUS name.
Remilia
Ugh! Stay out of this, Sakuya!
Sakuya
Wh-What did I say?!
Wriggle
Wow, that was pretty brutal from Miss Sakuya.
Momoyo
Actually, I don't think she was being sarcastic.
Momoyo
OK, this is pretty much a treasure hunt, so I guess I'm up. I was getting tired of sitting around anyway!
Eternity Larva
Thanks, Momoyo! We're counting on you!
Momoyo
Everyone's dropping like flies! Now it's just me, the shrine maiden, and the magician.
Remilia
OK, now for the final question! Which one is the expensive tea cup?
Momoyo
Expensive doesn't necessarily mean good, but I'd say it's...
Momoyo
This one!
???
Hold it right there!
Momoyo
Wh-What the?!
Reimu & Marisa
That question is mine!
Reimu & Marisa
I'm gonna get it right and clear the game!
Meiling
I'm back and I'm going to get you all blown up!
Momoyo
Clearly, anything goes here.
Momoyo
Well, I was getting bored anyway...
Momoyo
Bring it on!
Momoyo
I won!
Reimu
Please give offering money to Hakurei Shrine!
Marisa
If you find a rare item, send it to my shop!
Meiling
You defeated the gatekeeper of the Scarlet Devil Mansion for the second time... Congratu─
Meiling
I know I lost twice in a row, but at least let me finish!
Momoyo
...I better get back to the others.
Flandre Joins the Battle!
Remilia
Well done to everyone who's made it this far! You've shown great spirit! I've had so much fun watching you.
Yamame
This isn't our first rodeo.
Wriggle
We kinda have a feel for these crazy games now... Although, maybe that's not something to be proud of.
Momoyo
What about you guys, though? How did you manage to survive?
Eternity Larva
Yeah, I haven't even seen you play any games. How'd you do it?!
Okina
Fine, I'll tell you. It's not like we cheated.
Okina
See it! Hear it! Speak of it!
Yukari
I used one of my gaps to get to the other side!
Megumu
I used my Great Tengu special... Oops, I'll be revealing a trade secret if I say any more!
Okina
And I just used your backs to─
Eternity Larva
To create a backdoor on our backs. Yeah, we get it.
Okina
...What's with the attitude?
Yamame
Well, it was all pretty obvious. It wasn't worth hearing, and it certainly isn't worth speaking of.
Momoyo
Plus, there was nothing to see.
U-Um, let's just leave it at that for now!
Eternity Larva
Yeah, OK. We still have more games to play!
Remilia
Exactly!
Remilia
This one will be the last! It's called─
Remilia
R... Real-Time Obstacle Race!
Yamame
Is it going to be like the hurdle race from before? Why "real-time," though?
Wriggle
Maybe they have some additional traps or something...
Remilia
Phew. At least you all got the reference this time. Ahem, I mean...
Remilia
Rather than explaining the rules, it'll be faster if we just dive right in.
Remilia
OK, you're up―
Remilia
Little sister!
Flandre
Fiiiiinally, it's my turn to play!
Flandre
I'm not gonna hold back!
Eternity Larva
EEEEEEK! She's coming straight at us, destroying the mansion on her way!
Wriggle
Maybe the goal is to get away from Flandre?!
Momoyo
This isn't the time to think!
Momoyo
All the explosions have turned this mansion into a ticking timebomb!
Momoyo
It could collapse any minute. We better get out of here while we can!
Everyone
O-Oh, no!
Yukari
All right, I'm going to jump on ahead and get out of here.
Megumu
Momoyo, and all you other bugs... I wish you luck!
Everyone
AH! Look at them flee!
Flandre
C'mon and hurry up, or I'm gonna destroy you all too!
Eternity Larva
E-Everyone, RUN!
Wriggle
Watch out for the rubble!
Yamame
It keeps falling down as the mansion collapses. Now I get why it's called the "Real-Time Obstacle Race!"
Remilia
Come on! Run like you mean it! Oh, and by the way, those who manage to safely escape from the mansion win!
Remilia
Which means...
Remilia
Your previous wins don't matter at all!
Remilia
Hehe, this is what I call crazy! I've really outdone myself this time!
Remilia
Huh?!
Sakuya
M-Milady?!
Flandre
Was that Remilia just now?
Flandre
Oh, well! I gotta hurry and squash the bugs!
Flandre
AHAHAH! BOO!
Everyone
EEEK! That was fast!
Flandre
Now let's play till you collapse... Then play some more!
Flandre
Argh! Stop running around already! You guys are no fun!
Flandre
Stop! Or I'm gonna squash you for real!
Wriggle
This is bad! We can't get away from her!
Momoyo
I don't have enough time to dig a hole. Maybe we should fight her head-on?
Yamame
But the mansion won't be able to withstand any more fighting!
We need to stop Flan somehow!
That's our only chance of escape!
Eternity Larva
I have an idea. Let me handle this!
Momoyo
Hey! What're you gonna do?!
Eternity Larva
Hey, Flaaaaaaaaandre! Look behind you!
Flandre
Huh? What's behind me?
Flandre & Okina
Ah.
Flandre
OKINAAAAAAAA!
Okina
I came to sneak a peek at what was going on. I didn't think I'd get caught so soon...
Okina
Anyway, just calm down, Flandre. Your job is to destroy the mansion and anyone still in the game─
Flandre
I don't care! I'm gonna destroy you first!
Eternity Larva
C'mon, this is our chance. Let's get out of here!
Sorry, Miss Okina!
Flandre
Okinaaaaaaa! Waaaaait!
Okina
AH HA HA! How can I refuse to play with you when you're so attached to me.
Flandre
I'm sooooooo not!
