[L?] A New Chapter Begins
Yukari
Hello there, PLAYER.
Yukari
Is this the first time I've met this you? Or have you visited me before?
I've visited before!
I'm not sure. So, uhh... nice to meet you!
Choice Selected: "I've visited before!"
Yukari
Well then, there's no need for me to introduce myself. Although...
Yukari
Was the me you met before in this world or another?
Yukari
Teehee. It doesn't matter either way... for now.
Continue onto main branch.
Choice Selected: "I'm not sure. So, uhh... nice to meet you!"
Yukari
Oh, is that right? It seems I'd better introduce myself then.
Yukari
I'm Yukari Yakumo. We may or may not have met before in some other place, but...
Yukari
Teehee. It doesn't matter either way... for now.
Main Branch
Yukari
Once again, I'll be guiding you through our ongoing story.
Yukari
But revisiting the same settings would be no fun, so let's skip a chapter or two.
Yukari
We'll be looking in on two parallel worlds. In the first, social clubs have become extremely popular.
Yukari
There are fancy clubs all over Gensokyo that serve as places to eat, drink, and unwind. Sounds wonderful, don't you think?
Yukari
And the second world receives lots of visitors from other worlds.
Yukari
Even after skipping ahead, this world isn't so different from others you might have seen before...
Yukari
Including what happens when visitors arrive.
Yukari
But who will appear in our story today? And what type of medium incident will they cause?
Yukari
Oh, and of course, these special Seal Crystals will also play a role.
Yukari
But when will they appear? And in which world?
Yukari
Right, I think it's time to get started.
Yukari
Be sure to enjoy the interworld festival.
[L2.2] A Cool Place
Somewhere in the L2.2 Universe...
Nitori
I can't believe how hot it is. Summer's only just started... Let's find somewhere to relax.
Takane
I know! Why don't we go to Old Desire?
Nitori
Whoa, nice idea! Let's go!
Takane & Nitori
Finally, we're out of the sun!
Seiga
Welcome to Old Desire!
Yoshika
You've come at the perfect time. We just updated our menu!
Letty
We should bring our guests some ice water.
Letty
PLAYER, do you mind?
No problem!
Here you go!
Take your time and relax!
Takane & Nitori
*gulp* *gulp* This is just what I needed!
Takane
Hmm... I think there's fresh lemon juice in here. I could drink a bucket of this.
Sagume
[We've also prepared some chocolates for you.]
Takane
Things just keep getting better!
Nitori
Good job suggesting this place, Takane. I can see why it's so popular!
Sagume
[Thank you for your kind words.]
Takane
By the way, Miss Seiga, I've actually been working on a new beverage...
Nitori
Hey, quit trying to pitch your drink to her before I get the chance to pitch mine!
Clownpiece
Forget about pitches and try some of this!
Koishi
It's our delectable new jello!
Takane
Whoa, it sure looks tasty!
Nitori
*nom* *nom* Yum! How'd you make this stuff?
Koishi
We didn't. We found it.
Takane & Nitori
Huh?
Clownpiece
Hey, Koishi, don't you think these two would be perfect for you-know-what?
Koishi
You're right! They say kappa and yamawaro are good with their hands. What do you say, you two? Wanna play?
Nitori
Umm... Mind explaining what you're talking about first?
Clownpiece
Feast your eyes...
Koishi & Clownpiece
...on this!
Takane
Is that a pinball machine?
Nitori
It looks pretty legit... which worries me for some reason.
Sagume
[I'm very sorry, but please try to enjoy yourselves.]
Takane
What are you sorry about?
Koishi
Nothing! Forget about her!
Clownpiece
Yeah, what Koishi said! Now get ready...
Clownpiece
For our... pinball machine... tournament!
Takane
Hold up, I feel like I didn't quite catch all of that.
Nitori
Can you say that again?
Koishi
Fine. Get ready...
Koishi & Clownpiece
For our broken pinball machine fixing tournament!
Takane & Nitori
The machine's broken?!
Takane & Nitori
And we gotta fix it?!
[L2.2] Time to Brainstorm
A few days earlier, in Seiga Kaku's Senkai, a.k.a. Club Old Desire...
Seiga
This simply won't do!
Junko
What's the matter?
Seiga
It doesn't matter how popular our social club is. If we don't put on any events, people will stop coming.
Junko
In that case, let's ask for suggestions.
Junko
Everyone working here is pretty unique, so I'm sure there'll be at least one or two good ideas.
Seiga
You're right. What good is it having staff members if I don't ask for their input from time to time?!
Seiga
Yoshika, will you go and get everyone?
Yoshika
You got it!
Okina
You want to put on an event, huh? Anyone got any ideas?
Flandre
How about something destructive?
Yuuma
Please don't look at me when you say stuff like that.
Flandre
Hmph.
Yuuma
Tch... Hey, Yachie.
Yuuma
Surely YOU have some good ideas, right?
Yachie
Not particularly. All I can think of is sabotaging our rival social clubs.
Yuuma
Typical. But we can't do anything that'll cause trouble for Seiga.
Saki
Physical training is the solution to every problem, and muscles never let you down!
Saki
C'mon, let's run to the top of the Youkai Mountain with all our guests!
Yuuma
As fun as that sounds, this is a social club, not a running club.
Yachie
This is why we call you a muscle head...
Saki
What?! I can't believe you're making fun of training!
Saki
Go on then, Yuuma, what ideas have you got?
Yuuma
Hehehe. Isn't it obvious?
Yuuma
A 24-hour hell-fire spicy food eating contest!
Saki
You just wanna eat spicy food, don't you?
Yachie
I don't know about hell-fire, but it sure sounds like hell for whoever has to make the food.
Satori
Seems like no one has any good ideas.
Seiga
What about you guys?
Keine
Hmm, how about a big study session?
Keine
Social clubs are about getting to know people and their background―i.e., their history.
Keine
Get ready for the very first Temple School History Class Roadshow!
Sanae
You can count Moriya Shrine in! I'm sure I can help you out with a miracle or two!
Sanae
I'll even show people how I cause them! It's all about clenching your fists, then opening them at just the right time!
Keine & Sanae
What do you think, Seiga?! What do you think, Miss Seiga?!
Saki, Yachie & Yuuma
Do you like our ideas?!
Seiga
Nope!
Seiga
But it's OK. All we need...
Seiga
...is a battle of bullets to get our heads into gear!
Sanae
That battle was fun, but I still don't have any new ideas!
Letty
What's up, PLAYER?
I found something in the back of the club!
A big pinball machine!
Yoshika
Oh yeah, I remember that thing!
Seiga
It's perfect!
Seiga
A social club where you can play pinball sounds like so much fun!
Koishi
It sure does!
Seiga
Summer's just started, so we should serve ice-cold drinks, too.
Letty
Leave the ice-cold part to me.
Koishi
Yum!
Seiga
Right, let's get everything ready!
Everyone
OK!
[L2.2] New Hire
Letty
Can you bring me that can?
Koishi
Sure!
Seiga
It'd be nice if there were some prizes, too. I wonder what we could use.
Koishi
How about this?!
Seiga
Oh, is that jello? It looks delicious...
Seiga
...Wait, when did you get here?!
Koishi
You finally noticed me!
Satori
Koishi? Why are you at Old Desire?!
Koishi
Hi, Satori!
Koishi
I was playing that game where you can only step on shadows...
Koishi
And I ended up here!
Satori
So it was pure chance?!
Satori
Sorry about this, Seiga. I'll take her right home...
Seiga
No you won't. She's hired!
Satori
What?!
Koishi
Yay! Does that mean I get to work here?
Seiga
It does. It's my way of saying thank you for bringing us that scrumptious jello.
Seiga
And, Satori, having your adorable sister close by will let you keep an eye on her, no?
Satori
I guess... But are you sure about this?
Seiga
I understand your concern but there's no need to worry.
Koishi
Yay! I get to work with Satori!
Yachie
Where did you get that jello anyway?
Koishi
I found it on my way here!
Yachie
What?!
Yuuma
*nom* *nom*
Yachie
Well?
Yuuma
I like it.
Yachie
That's not what I meant.
Yuuma
It's not gone off if that's what you're asking. It's just delicious orange-flavored jello.
Yachie
Phew.
Koishi
Oh, that reminds me...
Koishi
I brought some guests who were standing around outside!
Seiga
You did?! But we haven't finished getting ready yet!
Keine
This is unfortunate.
Sanae
Wh-What should we do?!
Seiga
Let's buy some time with a Bullet Battle Surprise (which I just made up)... on the house!
Yoshika
Just wait a lil' longer, OK?
Junko
We were kinda rough with those guests, but they didn't seem to mind.
Letty
So what should we call this jello?
Satori
You're right, it needs a name if we want people to remember it.
Seiga
How about Citrus-Flavored Jindan Jello, after the golden elixir of immortality?
Keine
I could've guessed you'd say something like that.
Koishi
Eww, medicine's yucky!
Seiga
I thought it was a good fit for Old Desire...
Okina
Hm, a name for the jello, huh?
Oh, Miss Okina.
Do you have any ideas?
Okina
Not yet, but if you let me try some jello, I might come up with something.
Flandre
No fair. I wanna try some, too!
Okina
Hmm... So it's orange-flavored.
Okina
No... it's TACHIBANA orange-flavored.
Yoshika
Is there a difference?
Okina
How about tachibana jello?
Seiga
I like it. It's short and sweet!
Seiga
Oh, perfect timing.
Okina
I know you two. You're...
Seiga
Our new staff members!
[L^2] Salvation & Punishment
Meanwhile, in the L^2 Universe's Garden of the Sun...
Byakuren
We don't wish to reject your wishes or ambitions, nor your love of the people, God of Eternal Night.
Byakuren
Or rather, Eternity Larva.
Eternity Larva
Huh. Then allow me to ask you this...
Eternity Larva
Why are you standing in my way?
Byakuren
Because we've come to stop you.
Byakuren
What you're doing will only bring joy to the people of this world for a brief moment.
Byakuren
It won't lead any of them to true salvation.
Eternity Larva
I don't need you to tell me that. But in every era, the people need someone to save them and guide them to happiness.
Eternity Larva
And in this era, that someone is me.
Eternity Larva
This time I'll succeed.
Eternity Larva
Back then, I tried to save them just as Lady Taishi did.
Eternity Larva
And if it wasn't for Uzumasa....!
Eternity Larva
This time, I'll save them all.
Eternity Larva
That's why I was summoned to this world. I won't stray from the path again. I won't fail.
Eternity Larva
Tachibana oranges will give hope to the people, just like the Insect Festivals did back then.
Eternity Larva
It's the duty of those who lead to provide for those who follow!
Byakuren
It seems there's no way we can get through to you.
Byakuren
You leave us no choice...
Byakuren
Namusan!
(They don't want to fight...)
(I have to stop them somehow...!)
???
This is starting to get interesting.
Nue
I gotta say, I never thought my little prank would lead to this.
Nue
Now, where to next?
Yoshika
Uzumasa... I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before.
Yoshika
Hmm, I dunno... but I can remember the poem!
Yoshika
"The eternal god is a god amongst gods..."
Yoshika
"...but she will suffer Uzumasa all the same."
[L^2] A Familiar Face?
In the Garden of the Sun, a few days before the confrontation with Eternity Larva...
Eternity Larva
Hmm... The season's the same, but the scenery is different. This really isn't my world.
Eternity Larva
To think I'd end up in a parallel world... What happened?
Eternity Larva
I was eating a tachibana orange and thinking back on a time gone by...
Eternity Larva
...when I spotted a red Seal Crystal on the ground.
Eternity Larva
Not thinking anything of it, I decided to leave it be... but next thing I knew, I was here.
Eternity Larva
I gotta figure this out―
???
Ahh! Sorry!
Eternity Larva
Wait, I know that voice.
Luna Child
I can't believe I tripped and ruined our prank!
Are you OK, Luna?
We can try it again later!
Luna Child
You're right. Thanks, PLAYER.
Star Sapphire
The youkai are still after us! Quick, let's try and lose 'em!
Sunny Milk
Won't they give it a rest?! All we did was try and pull one little prank!
Eternity Larva
That's Sunny and the gang! I used to play with them all the time.
Eternity Larva
It doesn't look like they can stop to chat, though.
Eternity Larva
I guess I better give them a hand!
Eternity Larva
Good. It looks like none of you are hurt.
Star Sapphire
Thanks to you that is.
Eternity Larva
(They don't recognize me, huh?)
Sunny Milk
Hold up. You're Larva!
Eternity Larva
Oh.
Star Sapphire
You seem a little more grown up than usual. I love your outfit, though!
Luna Child
Agreed. She's even talking more like a grown up.
(That's Larva?! I-I mean Miss Larva?!)
(She looks kinda surprised, too...)
Eternity Larva
(I guess fairies recognize each other regardless of appearance...)
Eternity Larva
(Like souls and memories from past lives.)
Sunny Milk
Hey, Larva, wanna play with us?! PLAYER's hanging out with us today!
Star Sapphire
Wait, didn't PLAYER say she had to leave soon?
Yeah. But I'll come and play with you again sometime!
Luna Child
Sounds good!
Sunny Milk
All right, Larva, what do you wanna play―
Sunny Milk
All that running away has made me hungry...
Eternity Larva
Well then, you're in luck.
Fairies of Light
That was yummy! Thanks, Larva!
Eternity Larva
I'm glad you liked my tachibanas.
Eternity Larva
Now, I apologize, but I have to start gathering some information if I ever hope to get back to my world.
Eternity Larva
The blue and red Seal Crystals are supposedly connected, so first, I'll try to find someone who's used a blue one.
Luna Child
...A blue Seal Crystal, huh?
Star Sapphire
You mean like the one we all used the other day to make a wish?!
Eternity Larva
Possibly...
Eternity Larva
W-Wait, what?!
[L^2] Swimsuit Monk
Somewhere else in the L^2 Universe...
???
Seeeiga! Where are youuuu?!
Yoshika
Hrmmm, I think I'm lost.
Yoshika
Hold up...
Yoshika
Where am I?!
Yoshika
No one from the Divine Spirit Mausoleum is around. There's no one at all, actually. But it's OK...
Yoshika
Wait, no it's not! Oh well, guess I'll just look for Seiga!
Meanwhile, after PLAYER left Eternity Larva and the Fairies of Light...
???
Hello, Miss PLAYER. What are you doing here?
Hi, Miss Byakuren!
I was just doing some shopping. What about you?
Byakuren
I was asked to teach sutra copying in the village, so that's where I'm headed.
Oh, really? Good luck!
Byakuren
Thank you. Be careful on your way home.
That path I took led me to Myouren Temple!
Seems like Miss Byakuren's not back yet...
Maybe I should go to her next sutra copying class.
Shou
What happened, Hijiri?!
Th-That sounds like Miss Shou! I better go check it out!
Ichirin
I thought you were back a bit early, but...
Myouren Temple Members
What are you wearing?!
Byakuren?
What do you mean? This is what I always wear. In fact...
Byakuren?
Why aren't any of you wearing swimsuits?!
Byakuren?
And why isn't the main hall underwater?! Have any of you seen Joon? She was with me a minute ago...
Byakuren?
Wait... Where's the sea?!
Byakuren?
Am I dreaming right now?
Byakuren?
No...
Byakuren?
This is some kind of test. Either that or something terrible has happened to Myouren Temple and everyone in it!
Minamitsu
Umm, Hijiri... Are you OK?
Nazrin
Seems like everything we say is going in one ear and out the other...
Byakuren?
Looks like I have no choice.
Byakuren?
I have to blast everything away with my Magic Lotus Glove!
Shou
Hijiri, snap out of it!
Byakuren?
There's nothing to snap out of. Oh, and Kogasa?
Kogasa
Umm, yeah?
Byakuren?
What's up with you?
Kogasa
What do you mean?
Byakuren?
What do you mean what do I mean?! Why aren't you playing baseball?!
Kogasa
S-Since when did I play baseball?!
Byakuren?
I can't believe you'd give up something you were so passionate about...
Byakuren?
Don't worry, I'll knock some sense into you!
Kogasa
Eeeep!
Byakuren?
I see. So this is a parallel world.
Byakuren?
I suppose it's only natural things are different here.
Byakuren?
I'm just glad you're all safe.
Shou
Hijiri... (We're safe, but after all the water you shot at us, we're soaking wet.)
Byakuren
Well, I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Byakuren Hijiri, a Buddhist monk from the world of eternal summer.
Byakuren
It's about time I started looking for a way home. Miss PLAYER, will you help me?
Byakuren
I'd appreciate it if you'd show me around this parallel world...
Byakuren
Even if it's just for a little while.
Me?
O-OK!
Byakuren
Thank you so much!
Byakuren
All right then, it was nice meeting you all, but I better get going!
Kyouko
She's a lot more... free-spirited than our world's Lady Hijiri, huh?
Kogasa
Maybe I SHOULD take up baseball...
???
Huh. That's Hijiri.
???
I've never seen her wearing anything like that, though.
???
Maybe she came from a parallel world...
???
Just like me.
Nue
I'd better make the most of my time in this world.
Nue
Hehe. Time to scare some humans.
[L^2] An Odd Chase
A little while earlier, after PLAYER left Eternity Larva and the Fairies of Light...
Eternity Larva
So what wish did you make to the Seal Crystal?
Sunny Milk
To play lots!
Star Sapphire
To eat yummy snacks!
Luna Child
To get good scores on our tests!
Eternity Larva
Y-You wished for all that?!
Eternity Larva
And more importantly, why did those wishes summon me to this world?!
Luna Child
Huh? Are you from another world?
Eternity Larva
Yep...
Sunny Milk
Neat. I didn't realize!
Luna Child
Larva's Larva, after all!
Star Sapphire
Time to play!
Eternity Larva
Hmm...
Eternity Larva
(Should I get them to study?)
Eternity Larva
(I was the tutor of a prince back in the day. Maybe I can help them with their test scores. Then again...)
Eternity Larva
Fine, let's play for a while!
A few days later...
Star Sapphire
Hey, Larva! Is that the snack you made us yesterday?
Sunny Milk
You mean the orange jello?!
Eternity Larva
It's TACHIBANA jello.
Luna Child
Who knew tachibanas made such good jello! I love this stuff.
Eternity Larva
Oh yeah? In that case, I'm glad I made it.
Eternity Larva
All right, eat up, and then we can start studying again. I'll help you with anything you don't understand.
Fairies of Light
OK!
Star Sapphire
Hehe, Larva's like a real teacher!
Luna Child
And a good one at that!
Sunny Milk
Maybe we'll finally be able to get perfect test scores!
Eternity Larva
A teacher, huh?
Meanwhile, with PLAYER and the swimsuit-wearing Byakuren...
Byakuren
I know I need a big red Seal Crystal to get home...
Byakuren
But this Gensokyo's just so much fun! I don't think I ever want to leave.
(I'm glad she's enjoying herself...)
(But I think she's getting a bit carried away!)
Byakuren
Today, I want to visit the beach house... I mean, tea house.
Byakuren
Tell me you saw that, too...
I think so, yeah...
Byakuren
Let's chase after them.
Byakuren
So we were chasing tsukumogami all along, huh? But why on earth―
???
Hey, hands off!
Mike
Those sweets are mine! They've only just been delivered.
Mike
Wait, what's happening here?!
Byakuren
They've taken on different appearances. It's almost as if...
Byakuren
Haha, let's leave them to this world's me.
Nue
Mhmm... That maneki-neko's sweets sure are tasty.
Nue
But I'm kinda bored. If only there was a fun prank I could play...
Studious Fairy
Sunny and the others have been doing great on their tests recently! I wonder what their secret is.
Sweet-Loving Fairy
And their study snacks looked super yummy!
Studious Fairy
You mean the jello? They actually gave me some!
Sweet-Loving Fairy
Jealous!
Studious Fairy
I reckon with this, I'll get a ton smarter AND luckier!
Sweet-Loving Fairy
Get outta here! But still, I wouldn't mind trying some!
Nue
Huh. Seems like the fairies are all going crazy over this jello.
Nue
That gives me an idea for a prank...
[L2.2] Playing Pinball
Deep in the L2.2 Universe's Bamboo Forest of the Lost, at Eientei...
Reisen
Here, have some tea.
Sagume
[Thank you.]
Kaguya
Wow, that looks delicious!
Kaguya
So, what brings you to Eientei, Sagume?
Kaguya
Did you come to talk to Eirin again?
Sagume
[I did.]
Sagume
[You see, recently, I've been having some trouble communicating with people...]
Eirin
Sagume, I know you've just arrived, but there's a medical emergency in the village. I won't be long.
Reisen
But Master, didn't you say you were going to help out at the social club soon?
Eirin
Oh no, you're right.
Kaguya
What if Sagume went in your place?
Sagume
[Me?!]
Eirin
That's a wonderful idea. What do you say, Sagume? If it's all right with you, I'll let Seiga know.
Kaguya
It seems like you're pretty stressed out. Maybe this will help you relax.
Kaguya
And who knows, you might find a way to solve your communication issues.
Sagume
[Well, if you say so...]
Seiga
This was originally Eirin's outfit, but Mister Rinnosuke did a splendid job adjusting it for you!
Sagume
[It's really comfy. This must be some high-quality silk.]
Sagume
[By the way, what are those glasses filled with? It looks sweet...]
Seiga
Try some if you like.
Sagume
*munch*
Sagume
It's delicious.
Koishi
Me and Satori are working together! But is it just me, or does my outfit look more like Flan's?!
Flandre
Oh, yeah! I wonder why...
Koishi
Me too!
Clownpiece
Wh-Whoa... This outfit's so pretty! I wanna show Lady Hecatia!
Junko
Teehee. It suits you, Clownpiece.
Clownpiece
Hehehe, thanks for asking me to help out, Lady Junko!
Junko
I'm glad you came. Let's do all we can to liven up the social club.
Clownpiece
I know! I'll just go wild like I always do!
Junko
My, I'd heard a Lunar Sage would be coming, but I didn't think...
Sagume
[What are YOU doing here?!]
Junko
Relax. I simply came to enjoy the social club.
Sagume
[Oh... Well then, make yourself comfortable.]
Junko
Gladly. Teehee.
Seiga
OK, what do you say we start getting ready for opening time?
Seiga
First up...
Koishi
Hey, PLAYER! Whatcha got there?
It's a steel ball.
You use it to play the pinball machine!
Koishi
No way! I wanna play!
Clownpiece
Your name's Koishi, right? Whaddya say we play together?!
Koishi & Clownpiece
Can we go and set up the pinball machine?
Seiga
Sure... But be careful. It's rather heavy.
Koishi & Clownpiece
OK!
Clownpiece
So this is a pinball machine!
Koishi
How do you play?
Clownpiece
You put the ball in... then I'm guessing you pull this lever.
Koishi
It worked!
Koishi
Whoa! The ball's flying all over!
Clownpiece
Wow! It's like a shooting star!
Clownpiece
Do you see something sparkling in the corner there?
Koishi
Yeah... It's so big. And so blue!
Koishi
Wait!
Koishi
I have an idea!
[L2.2] Broken Already
Seiga
That's it, Miss Sagume! I knew you'd be good at this.
Sagume
[I'll do all I can to earn this outfit.]
Seiga
I couldn't ask for anything more.
Sagume
[How are you getting on, PLAYER?]
Great!
Opening prep is super fun!
Seiga
You're always such a big help. I can't thank you enough.
Sagume
[I wonder how Koishi and the Hell fairy are getting on.]
Seiga
Hmm, now that you mention it, they've been gone quite a while.
Sagume
[They both seem a little careless. I'd be surprised if things were going well.]
Seiga
You're right... That pinball machine is really heavy.
Seiga
Miss Sagume, Miss PLAYER, would you go and check in on them?
Koishi & Clownpiece
It's broken!
Sagume
[Sounds about right.]
Wh-What happened?!
Koishi
Weeell, Piece found this big blue shiny thing.
Clownpiece
It was so big I could barely even pick it up. But it was super pretty.
Koishi
I said she should try putting it into the pinball machine!
Clownpiece
So I did!
Sagume
[Let me guess, that's what broke the machine...]
Koishi & Clownpiece
How'd you know?!
Clownpiece
Anyway, it's fine. We just have to fix it!
Koishi
Hitting it real hard should do the trick!
Sagume
S-Stop! [Hitting it won't help!]
Clownpiece
Sounds like you were wrong, Koishi.
Koishi
That's a bummer.
Clownpiece
If hitting it is no good...
Koishi
...How about firing bullets at it?!
Clownpiece
Yeah, super powerful bullets!
Sagume
[At this rate, there'll be nothing left to fix! C'mon, PLAYER, we better stop them!]
Clownpiece
Bullets didn't work, huh?
Koishi
Can you fix it, Sagume?
Sagume
[It's certainly a lot simpler than Lunar technology... but it could still take a few days.]
Clownpiece
A few days? But the club's about to open!
Koishi
Wh-What do we do?!
Seiga
Are you still setting up the pinball machine? ...Oh my.
Koishi & Clownpiece
We're soooorry.
Clownpiece
You won't believe what happened...
Seiga
I see. That's all rather unfortunate.
Seiga
It's clear you both tried your best. I'm not upset with you.
Koishi
But what about our guests? They won't get to play pinball now.
Seiga
Teehee. Don't worry.
Seiga
I have an idea.
[L^2] Cascading Rumors
Eternity Larva
Hmm, it's been a few days. Seems like there's no time limit to me being here.
Eternity Larva
How am I gonna get back home―
Sunny Milk
Larva!
Star Sapphire
Loads of people told us they wanna eat more of that jello!
Luna Child
Your tachibana jello is a huge hit.
Eternity Larva
Oh, yeah? That's nice.
Eternity Larva
I think I'll go and give it to everyone myself today.
Eternity Larva
(That way I can gather info on this world and search for a way back home.)
Sunny Milk
OK, we'll tell you where to find them!
Star Sapphire
Just call for us if you need any help!
Eternity Larva
Thanks. I will.
Eternity Larva
Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone. I brought more than enough jello to go around, so eat as much as you like.
Happy Fairy
I've heard about this stuff! It's meant to be super yummy!
Gossipy Fairy
Eating this makes you smarter, right?
Knowledgeable Fairy
No, no. I heard eating it brings you good fortune!
Eternity Larva
Huh?
Chatty Fairy
Last time I ate it, I found my lost hairbrush! It must've been because of the jello!
Excited Fairy
I had to go out on a rainy day, but as soon as I ate some of this, the rain stopped!
Fairies
Wow!
Eternity Larva
(The rumors started after those three's test scores went up, but it sounds like they've gotten a little out of control.)
Eternity Larva
(And where did all this "good fortune" stuff come from?)
Eternity Larva
(The rain and the hairbrush were obviously just coincidences. People just like to find meaning where there isn't any.)
Eternity Larva
Right. They have to be coincidences. If they weren't, it'd almost be like...
Eternity Larva
More and more people want to try my tachibana jello.
Eternity Larva
The rumors kept evolving, and now there are whispers that eating it brings happiness.
Eternity Larva
I didn't confirm any of the rumors, but for all I know, they could be true.
Eternity Larva
And if they are...
Eternity Larva
Then, this time...
Faded Memory
Don't put your faith in Ooube no Oo!
Eternity Larva
Yes, this time...
Faded Memory
Her Insect Festivals are heresy!
Eternity Larva
This time...
Eternity Larva
I'll lead the people to happiness!
[L^2] Yoshika All Alone
Happy Girl
Listen to this! I ate some tachibana jello, and the next morning...
Happy Girl
A plate I'd broken fixed itself! My mom would've been so mad if she found it.
Hunched Old Lady
Thanks to that jello, I'm fit as a fiddle. I feel half my age!
Chatty Girl
After I ate some jello―
???
Hehe, it's all going according to plan.
Nue
All it took to get the youkai and humans worked up was disguising a bunch of random objects.
Nue
One of them even said she feels younger! As if jello has that kind of power.
Nue
OK, now they've whipped themselves into a frenzy, it's time to take things up a notch...
Nue
...with an unidentifiable fear.
Byakuren
Hmm, how strange...
Byakuren
Have you noticed that jello everyone seems to be eating? I wonder if it's the latest trend.
Byakuren
If I remember correctly, it's some kind of citrus jello made with konjac. I'd love to try some.
Umm, Miss Byakuren?
About that jello...
Byakuren
What is it?
Byakuren
...OK, tell me everything you know.
Byakuren
I see. So there are rumors going around that eating it brings you happiness.
Byakuren
But I don't feel any power coming from it. Not enough to bring happiness, at least.
Byakuren
Either there's something special about it... or someone out there is benefiting from those rumors.
Young Villager
Heeeelp!
D-Did you hear that?!
Byakuren
Let's go check it out!
Yoshika
I can't find Seiga anywhere. Being alone sucks.
Yoshika
Which is why I've chosen you to be my fellow jiang shi! Whaddya say?!
Young Villager
S-Stooooop!
Yoshika
Ahhhhh!
Byakuren
I blasted her away from the villager with my Magic Lotus Glove! Let's find a way to calm her down!
Yoshika
Aargh, you got me!
Byakuren
You there, are you all right?
Young Villager
I-I'm fine! Boy, I'm sure glad I ate that tachibana jello!
Young Villager
Who knows what would've happened otherwise... I better go get some more!
Byakuren
It seems the situation is worse than I thought. We need to get to the bottom of this.
Byakuren
Oh, and...
Byakuren
We'd better look after this one, too.
Meanwhile, with this world's Byakuren...
Byakuren
You've all been acting rather strange lately. Is something the matter?
Myouren Temple Members
...
Byakuren
No one has anything to say, huh? That settles it, then. Something's definitely not right.
Kogasa
Umm...
Myouren Temple Members
Are you our world's Lady Hijiri?!
Byakuren
OK, now I'm confused...
[L^2] Spoonful of Happiness
Byakuren
I see... So you're from a parallel world, too, Miss Yoshika.
Yoshika
Hmm... I think so, yeah.
Yoshika
Anyway, are you guys just going around helping people or what?
Byakuren
Something like that. Let me explain...
Yoshika
I'll help you out if you want! Just give me a hand finding Seiga!
Thanks! I'm sure you can't wait to see her again!
(Is her world's Miss Seiga here somewhere, too...?)
Byakuren
We tried, but it seems useful information is pretty hard to come by.
Yoshika
All anyone will tell us is that the jello is super yummy and brings you happiness.
Yeah. They even gave us some to try!
Yoshika
Guess it's time to take our first bite!
Yoshika
Whoa...
Yoshika
This stuff tastes amazing!
Byakuren
Teehee. I'm saving mine for later.
Byakuren
It seems like nothing unusual happens after eating it, though.
Byakuren
Perhaps they try to find happiness in jello because of the rumors and the desires of everyone who eats it.
Byakuren
It's almost like they believe their happiness won't last unless they keep coming back for more.
???
Whoa! Is that tachibana jello?!
Minoriko
Will you give us some? We can't find the swallowtail butterfly fairy anywhere.
Byakuren
What's jello got to do with a butterfly fairy?
Shizuha
They say she gives people jello... But I guess the rumors weren't true.
???
Wait, have you got jello?!
Eika
Give us some! Pleeeease!
Rumia
I'm so hungry! Ahhh, I can't take this anymore!
Eika
Eeep! I'm not jello!
Tsukasa
Lady Iizunamaru, if we create a similar product, we might be able to make a killing.
Megumu
Perhaps, but a better business strategy would be to put our own spin on it.
Chimata
Stop! There's more to business than simply chasing profits.
Chimata
I won't allow you to disrupt the market any further!
Yoshika
This is getting out of hand!
Byakuren
I wanted to ask them a few questions... but it looks like that's not an option.
Byakuren
Everyone, please calm down!
Byakuren
Phew. We managed to calm them down.
Yoshika
They're all soaking wet. Although, I guess summer's here, so maybe that's not such a bad thing.
Byakuren
Yes, I'm sure they're very grateful. Plus, they gave us some useful information.
Byakuren
It seems a swallowtail butterfly fairy is giving out the jello...
Byakuren
And apparently, she's hiding somewhere in the Garden of the Sun.
Byakuren
We're one step closer to getting to the bottom of this. Now, let's head to the Garden of the Sun―
Before we go, there's something I want to talk about!
Yoshika
What's up?
Byakuren
So you think the fact that everyone is going crazy for this jello and believing it'll bring them happiness...
Byakuren
...is a medium incident caused by the arrival of visitors from another world?
Yoshika
Visitors from another world... Does that mean us?
Hmm, I don't think so!
Byakuren
That means there might be more people like us around. Like that swallowtail butterfly fairy. Or even...
Byakuren
Never mind. For now, let's just get to the Garden of the Sun.
[L2.2] Guests Aplenty
The L2.2 Universe, in Seiga Kaku's Senkai, a.k.a. Club Old Desire...
Seiga
Old Desire's open for business!
Koishi
Too bad we can't play pinball, huh?
Clownpiece
Yeah, but I suppose we're the ones who broke it...
Sagume
[Just having the machine on display is rather nice, don't you think?]
Sagume
[And we can put the jello on the menu instead of giving it out as prizes.]
Seiga
It's going to be a busy day, but I'm sure we'll pull through! Oh, and good luck to our new staff members!
Clownpiece
You can count on us!
Koishi
C'mon, everyone, let's do this!
I'm here to help, too!
Sagume
[Thanks, PLAYER.]
Grassroots Youkai Network
Hello.
Sagume
[Welcome.]
Sagume
[It's hot outside today, isn't it? Please enjoy a cold beverage.]
Wakasagihime
That's just what we needed! Thanks!
Clownpiece
Hey, are you guys any good at games?
Kagerou
I'm not sure how good I am, but I like them a lot.
Koishi
Awesome! You can play with us, then!
Sekibanki
Whoa, this thing's huge. Is it really OK for us to use it?
Koishi
Of course! We just have to fix it first!
Kagerou
You mean it's broken?
Clownpiece
Yeah, but if you fix it for us, we'll let you play as much as you want!
Sagume
[An event where guests try to fix the pinball machine...]
Sagume
[I'm not so sure about this.]
Yuuma
Hey, your name was Betty or something, right? Can you grab me some ramen ingredients from the fridge?
Letty
It's Letty. And try not to eat the customer's food again, OK?
Yuuma
Hehehe. I know, I know.
Shinmyoumaru
This is the place, Seija! Something smells really good in here!
Seija
It looks like they have lots of games to play, too.
Seija
What do you say we eat our fill, then make our way home?!
Saki
'Sup!
Saki
You guys wanna go for a run up the Youkai Mountain?
Seija
You're really suggesting we leave already? We only just got here...
Seija
This is some "top-notch" service!
Daiyousei
Wow...!
Cirno
Is that you, Piece?! I didn't know you were working at Old Desire!
Clownpiece
Pretty cool, right?!
Daiyousei
Totally! Your outfit's so pretty. It reminds me of a starry sky!
Cirno
No fair! How come you get an outfit like that?!
Clownpiece
All the staff members get one. I better get back to work. See ya!
Cirno
That settles it. I gotta work here too someday!
Yachie
Someday, huh?
Yachie
How wonderfully non-committal.
Yachie
You fairies don't realize, but that laidback approach of yours is what stops you from gaining respect in Gensokyo.
Cirno
For real?!
Daiyousei
Wh-What should we do?
Yachie
Don't worry. I'll teach you how to be as quick-witted and decisive as someone from the Animal Realm!
Sanae
S-Stop!
Keine
H-How about you all have some sweets? I'm sure we have some you'll like.
Yuuma
Here you go. One ramen with extra fried tofu... Oh, it's you, Ran.
Ran
I didn't think I'd see you here. Looks like you're doing a good job, though.
Yuuma
Meh, I do my best.
Yuuma
So c'mon, what do you think of my ramen?
Ran
It's not bad. Not bad at all...
Flandre
You two look like you're getting along well! Are you friends?
Ran
Hmm, it's kinda hard to say...
Yuuma
We are and we aren't, if you know what I mean.
Flandre
Sooo... you're enemies? That means I gotta destroy you both, right?
Junko
Shouldn't we stop her?
Satori
It'll be fine.
Okina
How do you think the others are doing?
Koishi
So? Do you think you can fix it? *munch* *munch*
Clownpiece
C'mon, I wanna play pinball already. *chew* *chew*
Kagerou
Maybe it's just about connecting the right wires...
Sekibanki
Why are you standing there eating sweets while you make your guests repair the pinball machine YOU broke?!
Koishi
*chew* *chew*
Clownpiece
*munch* *munch*
Meanwhile...
Saki
C'mon, we're not done yet! We gotta make it all the way to the top!
Seija & Shinmyoumaru
Please! No more running!
[L2.2] Sagume's Cool Plan
Seiga
I wonder how everyone's doing...
Sagume
[Are you worried?]
Seiga
Of course I am!
Sagume
[Well, you shouldn't be. I'm already on it.]
Seiga
You are?
Sagume
[Yes. And...]
Ran
Surely you're partly responsible for all this, no?
Yuuma
Letting 'em treat this place like the Animal Realm was never gonna go well.
Flandre
Maybe if I destroy them all, they'll behave!
Yuuma
Whoa, hold up.
Ran
Why are you two here anyway?
Flandre
Okina asked me to come. What about you, Yuuma?
Yuuma
She asked me to come, too. She said things were bound to get interesting.
Ran
Miss Okina!
Yuuma & Flandre
Okinaaa!
Okina
Why are you blaming me?!
Okina
PLAYER, talk some sense into them.
M-Me?!
Sagume
[Don't worry. Let's handle this together.]
Flandre
That was fun!
Yuuma
You were never big on holding back, were you, Flandre?
Flandre
That battle made me super hungry.
Sagume
[Here, eat this.]
Flandre
Wow, thanks!
Okina
Well, it looks like that's settled.
Yuuma
Hehehe. It must be boring always standing on the sidelines like that.
Yuuma
Maybe you should try joining in the fun!
Flandre
Yeah! You wanna play with us, don't you, Okina?!
Okina
Hahaha. All right, that's enough.
Sagume
[...I think she can handle it from here.]
Keine
OK, now that's over, let's get back to business!
Letty
Please enjoy some refreshing jello.
Junko
Don't eat it all in one go.
Sekibanki
Whoa...
Grassroots Youkai Network
It's cold and yummy.
Kagerou
By the way, I don't think we'll be able to fix the pinball machine...
Koishi & Clownpiece
Aww...
Sekibanki
We're sorry.
Satori
Let's give some jello to those guests next.
Seija
I sure needed this.
Shinmyoumaru
It's so citrusy and delicious! Can I have some more?!
Seiga
W-Wait a minute...!
Sagume
[Teehee. It seems you've caught on to my plan.]
Sagume
[I get Letty to cool the jello and Satori to read the guests' minds so I can be the best server there is!]
Sagume
[This way, we can help all our guests relax to the fullest. I call it...]
Sagume
[The Plan to Help Guests Relax by Serving Them Tachibana Jello at the Perfect Time!]
Seiga
That's amazing! (Except for the name, of course.)
Keine
Let's keep this up and serve all our guests.
Letty
Oh no! We're running low on jello.
Sagume
[That wasn't part of the plan...]
Seiga
Hmm, I guess we should've stocked up before opening for the day.
Oh no, more guests! ...C-Come in!
Takane & Nitori
Finally, we're out of the sun!
[L^2] God of Eternal Night
Meanwhile, somewhere far from the Human Village, in a place even more obsessed with tachibana jello...
Eternity Larva
Sorry for the wait. Here's your tachibana jello.
Fairies
Thanks! Now we can all be happy!
Eternity Larva
(Good. Everyone's smiling. This time, I'll be the one to lead them to happiness.)
Youkai Dancer
Make sure to watch my dance performance today!
Youkai Cook
Look, I made some snacks for you!
Distant Memory
Lady Ooube no Oo, I'm ready for tonight's dance performance. Make sure you watch it!
Distant Memory
I've prepared some snacks for you. Eat as much as you like!
Eternity Larva
...Sorry, but I'll have to decline.
Cirno
Thanks for today's jello!
Daiyousei
Here, this is for you! Give us lots more jello tomorrow too, please!
Eternity Larva
Is this some kind of fruit? It's a strange color...
Daiyousei
It's pretty, right? Cirno found it in the forest.
Cirno
Yeah, it's Dai's treasure!
Eternity Larva
Treasure, huh?
Eternity Larva
I can't accept something so precious.
Nemuno
How 'bout you take me chef's knife instead, then?! It's nice an' sharp, so you can enshrine it at your place!
Eternity Larva
N-No, I can't accept that either.
Nemuno
Hmm... In that case, I'll prep you some nice fresh veggies next time I see ya!
Cirno
Let's go find some even better treasure to give her!
Daiyousei
Good idea, Cirno!
Daiyousei
After all, she's the God of Eternal Night.
Eternity Larva
...!
Eternity Larva
The God of Eternal Night, huh?
Eternity Larva
People are so desperate for jello and happiness that they're offering me things. This is almost like...
Eternity Larva
No, I mustn't have doubts. This time, I WILL succeed!
Eternity Larva
I'm the God of Eternal Night―the one who will lead the people to eternal happiness with tachibanas!
???
...It seems the information we gathered was true.
Byakuren
The people are going crazy over happiness-bringing jello, and there's a swallowtail butterfly fairy giving it to them.
Yoshika
You're the one behind this!
Eternity Larva
A Buddhist priest, Seiga's plaything, and a child. What are you doing here?
You have to stop giving out that jello, Miss Larva!
All the villagers are acting strange because of it!
Eternity Larva
The villagers, you say?
Yoshika
That's right. Which is why you need to stop right now―
Eternity Larva
Hahaha.
Eternity Larva
Mwahaha!
Eternity Larva
So word has begun to spread throughout Gensokyo!
Eternity Larva
My, my, what wonderful news. Fear not, I'll lead them all to happiness!
Byakuren
Please, can we talk about this for a moment?
Eternity Larva
You want to talk, heh? Fine. But only because I'm in such a good mood!
Yoshika
Are you sure about this? A battle of bullets might be our best bet.
Byakuren
Conflict won't resolve this. If we talk to her, we might find another way...
Byakuren
Another way forward on the path to salvation.
Eternity Larva
...
[L^2] Namusan!
Byakuren
There are some who have been comforted by what you're doing. Of that, there's no doubt.
Byakuren
But you're taking things too far. Soon, all will be beset by the three poisons―ignorance, attachment, and aversion.
Eternity Larva
...
Byakuren
We don't wish to reject your wishes or ambitions, nor your love of the people, God of Eternal Night.
Byakuren
Or rather, Eternity Larva.
Eternity Larva
Huh. Then allow me to ask you this...
Eternity Larva
Why are you standing in my way?
Byakuren
Because we've come to stop you.
Byakuren
Your love of the people will plunge you into an eternity of despair and stagnation. Besides...
Byakuren
What you're doing will only bring joy to the people of this world for a brief moment.
Byakuren
It won't lead any of them to true salvation.
Eternity Larva
How can you be so sure? You and Uzumasa both!
Yoshika
Uzumasa?
Eternity Larva
Back then, I tried to save them just as Lady Taishi did.
Eternity Larva
And if it wasn't for Uzumasa....!
Eternity Larva
This time, I'll save them all.
Eternity Larva
That's why I was summoned to this world. I won't stray from the path again. I won't fail.
Eternity Larva
Tachibana oranges will give hope to the people, just like the Insect Festivals did back then.
Eternity Larva
It's the duty of those who lead to provide for those who follow!
Byakuren
Even if those tachibanas are the Food of the Dead―
Byakuren
―fruits of eternity that prevent one's return from the afterlife?
Eternity Larva
...!
Eternity Larva
With me in this form, you can call them whatever you want!
Miss Larva, please listen to us!
We want to help you!
Eternity Larva
Enough talk!
Byakuren
It seems our words will never get through to you.
Byakuren
Miss Yoshika. Get yourself and PLAYER out of here.
Byakuren
It's not safe for you to stay.
Yoshika
G-Got it. C'mon, PLAYER, follow me!
Eternity Larva
You fool.
Eternity Larva
You can't stop me. Getting in my way only delays the inevitable!
Byakuren
I'll rid you of your ill will.
Byakuren
Namusan!
Nue
This is starting to get interesting. I gotta say, I never thought my little prank would lead to this.
Nue
Now, where to next?
Yoshika
Uzumasa... I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before.
Yoshika
Hmm, I dunno... but I can remember the poem!
Yoshika
"The eternal god is a god amongst gods..."
Yoshika
"...but she will suffer Uzumasa all the same."
Eternity Larva
That poem...!
Eternity Larva
How dare you...
Eternity Larva
How dare you utter her name!
Eternity Larva
I lost...
Eternity Larva
I failed again.
Eternity Larva
Just like before...
Eternity Larva
I've failed as a teacher of Lady Taishi.
Eternity Larva
I spread word of the Insect Festivals to save the people. But they didn't turn out the way I had hoped.
Eternity Larva
And so Uzumasa...
Eternity Larva
Uzumasa punished me.
Eternity Larva
All I've managed to do is repeat my mistakes.
Byakuren
Your plan failed because of the confusion in people's hearts. Those who got a taste of happiness were led astray.
Yoshika
When you eat something yummy, you always want more!
Eternity Larva
I don't know what to say...
You're not the only one to blame, Miss Larva.
Besides, this might all just be a medium incident!
Eternity Larva
A medium incident? What's that?
Eternity Larva
Hmm, so you're saying my arrival in this world caused a medium incident?
Eternity Larva
And that if I return home, everyone will go back to normal?
Byakuren
We believe so. We should work together to find a big red Seal Crystal.
Yoshika
Oh, and you gotta stop giving people jello!
Eternity Larva
Fine. Let's begin our search.
???
Huh... Are you really OK with that?
Byakuren
You...!
[L^2] Led Astray
Byakuren
I thought it was this world's you who made the objects in the village take on different appearances...
Byakuren
I had started to doubt my initial assessment, and it seems I was right to do so.
Byakuren
You're not from this world, are you, Nue?
Nue
No, but it seems neither are you. Not that I'm surprised.
Nue
More importantly...
Nue
Are you really going to stop giving people jello?
Nue
Everyone says it's delicious, and they seem to think it's bringing them happiness.
Eternity Larva
Tachibana jello is leading people astray. It wouldn't be right to continue providing it.
Nue
If you say so. But is it really safe to stop?
Nue
The people might take up arms against you.
Eternity Larva
What?!
Yoshika
Th-That couldn't happen, could it?!
Byakuren
There's no way to see the future, but even if that did happen, I'm sure we could resolve everything peacefully.
Nue
Everyone's grateful, you know? Some found lost belongings, and others reclaimed their youth.
Eternity Larva
Is that true...?
Nue
Of course. That's why you need to keep giving them jello. So they can find happiness.
Eternity Larva
Happiness...
Eternity Larva
(I thought I'd failed again, but perhaps giving up is the only true failure.)
Eternity Larva
(Abandoning the people may be the worst mistake I could make.)
Nue
Hey, you wanna do something fun?
Nue
Like bringing happiness to other worlds besides this one.
Byakuren
N-No!
Nue
Yes. All you need is a big red Seal Crystal.
Nue
You can use one to travel back home... or to entirely different worlds.
Nue
So why not make a few stops on the way?
Eternity Larva
Every world in every era yearns for salvation.
Eternity Larva
And I have to give it to them. This time I won't fail!
Nue
That's the spirit. Come with me, and we can search for a crystal together!
Byakuren
Wait!
Yoshika
Oh no! They're gone!
Quick, we gotta go after them!
Byakuren
If they get their hands on one of those crystals, it'll be too late!
[L2.2] Jello for All
The L2.2 Universe, in Seiga Kaku's Senkai, a.k.a. Club Old Desire...
Nitori
Phew. It wasn't easy, but there's nothing I can't fix! That was actually kinda fun!
Takane
Hehehe. You did fine I guess, but you'd have been lost without me!
Koishi
Seiga, look, look!
Clownpiece
The pinball machine's fixed!
Seiga
Really?! You kappa and yamawaro really are something!
Seiga
I'm glad it's working again, but...
Seiga
The guests only seem interested in tachibana jello!
Koishi
We're running out, right?
Seiga
Yes, and I don't quite know what to do about it...
Clownpiece
You got nothing to worry about!
Koishi
The pinball machine gives out jello when you play!
Seiga
Why?!
Sagume
[It seems to have an infinite supply.]
Takane
Wait... This thing doesn't have a way to produce jello.
Nitori
Well don't look at me. I didn't put any in there!
Koishi
Satori, look! There's so much jello coming out!
Satori
How?! Is that stuff even safe to eat?
Koishi
Yep, and it's super yummy!
Satori
I guess that's all right then...
Nitori
It's definitely fixed. Guess it's time to discuss our payment.
Koishi
You got to play with us. Isn't that enough?
Clownpiece
Yeah. You kept saying how much fun you were having!
Nitori
Let's not kid around here, girls. These kappa engineering skills don't come cheap.
Takane
We deserve to be paid for our hard work!
Koishi
That was Old Desire's special Bullet Battle Surprise. Happy now?
Clownpiece
Yay, that was fun!
Takane & Nitori
Phew...
Sagume
[I suggest you take a seat on our delightful sofas to recover from the battle.]
Sekibanki
So this is how you're supposed to play pinball!
Kagerou
It's my turn next!
Wakasagihime
Look! The machine lights up when you score points!
Sanae
This sure takes me back. I remember playing pinball when I was a kid.
Yachie
Can I play next?
Yachie
This is a lot of fun. Nitori and Takane fixed it, right?
Saki
Yep. They did a great job.
Junko
So this machine tests your luck AND your skill. How interesting.
Cirno
I wanna play, too!
Daiyousei
Good luck, Cirno!
Flandre
Me too, me too! I love this kinda stuff!
Seiga
Everyone's really getting into pinball! Thanks, you two!
Nitori
O-Oh, uhh...
Takane & Nitori
It was nothing!
Seiga
I have to disagree with you there.
Seiga
It'll be closing time soon, so let's all enjoy ourselves while we can!
[L2.2] Social Club Fun
Yuuma
Hey, newbies. Mind serving these for me?
Clownpiece
We're super good at serving guests now!
Koishi
Skipping makes it way faster!
Clownpiece
W-Whoa... These shoes make it kinda hard to keep my balance.
Sagume
(I'm in heels. If she bumps into me, I'm definitely going down!)
Koishi
Yikes.
Koishi, Clownpiece & Sagume
Ahh!
Saki
Huh?
Saki
Check it out. There's not a drop on me.
Koishi
Wow! You're like a gymnast or something!
Clownpiece
That was so cool!
Saki
Training makes this kinda stuff a breeze!
Sagume
[Maybe introducing training to the social club isn't such a bad idea after all...]
Yachie
Don't you wanna try pinball, Ran? I'm sure you'd be good at it.
Ran
Hmm, I guess I could give it a go.
Keine
Right, I'm next...
Keine
This is awesome! I'd love to let my students play sometime.
Koishi
I wanna play! I'm going for the top score.
Clownpiece
You won't do better than me, Koishi!
Koishi
You're on, Piece!
Sagume
[It's so nice to see everyone having fun.]
Satori
That's true...
Satori
But I can't help but feel they're ignoring the guests.
Flandre
I wanna play pinball too!
Satori
Oh well. I suppose I'll see to them.
I'll help!
Seiga
Sorry, everyone.
Seiga
I know you're all having fun, but it's closing time!
Yoshika
Come again soon!
Koishi
Did all the guests leave? Now we can play pinball together, right, Satori?!
Satori
Fine, but just one game. Then we're going home.
Clownpiece
Lady Junko, look, look! I won all this jello!
Junko
Not bad. Maybe I'll play one more time...
Keine
Letty, will you put this jello in the fridge for me?
Letty
Sure... But it's almost full, you know?
Keine
For real? But there's still so much jello...
Seiga
We can just eat whatever there isn't room for.
Yoshika
Great idea!
Yuuma
Can we start eating already?
Yachie
Looks like it. And there's more than enough to stuff ourselves stupid.
Saki
I can't believe how much there is...
Sagume
[A pinball machine that gives out unlimited jello... How on earth does it work?]
Sagume
(Let me take a look...)
Sagume
...Huh?!
[L2.2] Seal Crystal Surprise
Sagume
[Why is there a big blue Seal Crystal inside the pinball machine?!]
Sagume
...Oh.
Koishi
Weeell, Piece found this big blue shiny thing.
Clownpiece
It was so big I could barely even pick it up. But it was super pretty.
Koishi
I said she should try putting it into the pinball machine!
Sagume
[So THIS is what they were talking about!]
Sagume
[It broke... Or maybe it was just out of power.]
Koishi
What happened, Sagume?
Clownpiece
Is the pinball machine broken again?
Sagume
[Do you two remember seeing a Seal Crystal about yay big?]
Koishi
Uh-huh.
Clownpiece
A big Seal Crystal, huh? ...Is that the thing Lady Hecatia was talking about?!
Junko
It seems something rather unexpected was hiding inside the pinball machine.
Clownpiece
Do you mean the crystal?
Junko
Yes. Those big blue Seal Crystals are said to grant any and all wishes.
Clownpiece
No way! Are you telling us we had one the whole time?! We coulda wished for all kinds of stuff!
Clownpiece
I coulda asked it to make me super strong...
Junko
Yes, and it likely would've done just that.
Clownpiece
How wonderful...
Sagume
[But the Seal Crystal shattered.]
Sagume
[Which means it must have already fulfilled someone's wish.]
Koishi
That could've been ours.
Sagume
[What did you wish for?]
Clownpiece
Remember how Seiga was saying they were running out of jello?
Koishi
Of course you do!
Koishi
Well, we wished for lots and lots of it!
Clownpiece
We didn't think this was a real Seal Crystal, though!
Keine
So that's why so much jello kept coming out of the pinball machine, huh?
Okina
Well, the big blue Seal Crystal's gone now. Whatever will happen next?
Seiga
Hopefully nothing. What I wouldn't give for a trouble-free day...!
Sagume
[Working at the social club sure was tiring.]
Clownpiece
Yeah, but it was fun!
Koishi
Super fun!
Sagume
[That's good...]
Sagume
[I'm not sure I was very helpful, though.]
Koishi
What do you mean? Of course you were!
Clownpiece
Totally! Your plan to help the guests relax was amazing!
Sagume
[You really think so? Thanks.]
Koishi
Let's play together again sometime!
Clownpiece
Good idea. Maybe next time, me and Master will open up a social club of our own!
Clownpiece
We'll invite you all, so make sure you come along!
Koishi
For real?! I'll be there!
Sagume
[Me too.]
A social club run by Miss Hecatia?!
Sounds awesome!
Clownpiece
Get ready for some Hell-ishly good service!
Koishi
Yippee! I can't wait!
Sagume
Teehee. [Me neither.]
[L^2] Nue's Boredom
Yoshika
We can't find those two anywhere!
Byakuren
It seems we've completely lost them. It's already dark...
???
What's all this ruckus?
Miss Mamizou! Have you seen Miss Larva and Nue?
They might've looked a little different to normal!
Mamizou
You mean the ones from a different world? Yep, I saw 'em.
Byakuren & Yoshika
You did?!
Mamizou
They were headed for the village. I hope that Nue ain't tryna pull one of her pranks again.
Yoshika
Does she pull pranks a lot?
Mamizou
This world's Nue does, so I'm sure all of 'em do. I'll bet she's causing all kinds of trouble.
Mamizou
You lot were thinking the same thing, no?
Byakuren
Rumors of finding lost objects and the tsukumogami we saw in the village...
Byakuren
Today, I want to visit the beach house... I mean, tea house.
Byakuren
Tell me you saw that, too...
Byakuren
So we were chasing tsukumogami all along, huh? But why on earth―
Byakuren
They've taken on different appearances. It's almost as if...
Byakuren
So that was parallel world Nue's doing.
Byakuren
If it was this world's Nue, then this world's me would've surely stopped her by now.
Yoshika
I saw some strange things too. I guess now I know why.
Byakuren
We can't let her keep doing this. She's left us no choice.
Byakuren
We have to give her a lecturing she won't forget!
Yoshika
Hmm, I don't see them. Maybe they left already.
Nue
Oops, did I miss the mark?
Byakuren
Nue. Why are you so determined to cause trouble around here?
Nue
So you've figured it all out, heh? Nothing ever seems to get past you, Byakuren. Fine, I'll tell you why I'm doing this.
Nue
It's all because...
Nue
I was bored.
Yoshika
Huh?! If you're bored, just take a nap or something!
Nue
That's no fun. I don't wanna waste my time in this cool new world.
Nue
Speaking of fun...
Nue
Whaddya say we have some now?!
Nue
Not bad. Not bad at all. For your efforts, I'll let you in on a secret.
Nue
Something awesome is about to begin. If you wanna see what it is, follow me.
Yoshika
What's she talking about?
Byakuren
I don't know, but whatever it is, it can't be good.
Mamizou
I hope it doesn't rain tonight...
Nue
That's Mamizou! ...Oops, I didn't mean to say that so loud.
Mamizou
You must be Nue from a different world. You're pretty much the same no matter where you're from, though.
Mamizou
You don't seem as cheerful as usual. Something the matter?
Nue
You can tell, huh? I suppose we've known each other a long time.
Nue
Back in my world, I was starting to get pretty strong. People stopped wanting to face me.
Nue
You've heard about what the swallowtail butterfly fairy is doing, right?
Mamizou
Uh-huh. Everyone in the village is going wild thinking they can find happiness.
Nue
People have found lost items, and broken items are fixing themselves... But I'm the one doing all of that.
Mamizou
Yeah, I figured.
Nue
Haha, you did?!
Nue
I've been disguising random objects as things people want to find.
Nue
I was gonna keep on pranking everyone, then reveal myself when the time was right.
Nue
But after I found out more about the swallowtail butterfly fairy, I started sympathizing with her.
Nue
Persecution, banishment... That stuff's no fun.
Nue
O-Oops! Forget I said anything!
Nue
See ya!
Yoshika
Thanks for filling us in!
Mamizou
Don't mention it.
Byakuren
Right, we better―
Mamizou
Oh, and there's one more thing.
Mamizou
Those two aren't doing this with bad intentions, but be sure to stop 'em.
Byakuren
Understood. I swear to you that my Magic Lotus Glove won't miss.
Mamizou
Nue's fate is in your hands now...
[L^2] Butterfly Battle
Yoshika
...Hang on, we've already been here.
Yoshika
Chasing after them must've led us in circles!
Byakuren
Yes, and either we didn't realize earlier, or it's only just appeared...
Byakuren
But there's a big red Seal Crystal right there!
Eternity Larva
The fairies told me one was hiding here.
Nue
It was right under our noses all along. I suppose it was fun running around looking for it, though.
Eternity Larva
This must mean I'm the one who has to lead this world's people... no, the people of ALL worlds to happiness.
Eternity Larva
You there.
Eternity Larva
If you wish to stop me...
Eternity Larva
Then come at me with all you've got!
Byakuren
That's enough.
Yoshika
Give up already!
Eternity Larva
Thank you...
Yoshika
Huh?
Eternity Larva
When I first lost to you... I resolved never to lose again, and to see my plan through to the end.
Eternity Larva
But I was averting my eyes from the truth...
Eternity Larva
From the mistakes of the past.
Eternity Larva
There's nothing left for me to do but leave this world. That's the only way I can atone for what I've done.
Miss Larva...
Nue
*sigh* I was having some real fun back there, but I guess it's over now.
Nue
I think I'll go look for my next opponent.
Byakuren
And where exactly will you be going?
Nue
H-Hijiri...!
Byakuren
I think we should have a little chat.
Nue
I'd, uhh... rather not.
Byakuren
C'mon, don't be shy.
Nue
...
Nue
...
Nue
...I'm sorry.
Nue
I took my prank a little too far... Only a little, though.
Byakuren
It sounds like you want another talking to.
Nue
I said I'm sorry! I mean it!
Eternity Larva
OK, time for me to go home.
Yoshika
You're leaving already?
Eternity Larva
The medium incident won't end until I do. For the people's sake, the sooner I leave, the better.
Byakuren
How noble of you.
Byakuren
But before you go, there's one more thing you can do for the people of this world.
Eternity Larva
There is?
[L^2] Bittersweet Goodbye
Happiness-Seeking Youth
Look, it's the swallowtail butterfly fairy!
Disguised Bake-Danuki
Yippee! More jello!
Eternity Larva
...
Overly-Happy Woman
And more jello means more happiness!
Eternity Larva
(What I can do for the people of this world...)
Eternity Larva
(Is to tell them―)
Hidden Youkai
Jello, please! I haven't had any in two days!
Eternity Larva
(―the truth.)
The People
Tachibana jello, please!
Eternity Larva
Everyone, listen up. The truth is...
Eternity Larva
Tachibana jello doesn't bring happiness. It's just a sweet and delicious snack.
Eternity Larva
I wanted to lead you all to happiness... but all I managed to do was lead you astray.
Eternity Larva
I'm sorry.
Overly-Happy Woman
What?! You mean we've been tricked?!
Happiness-Seeking Youth
She's a liar!
Eternity Larva
Uh-oh...!
Eternity Larva
You...
Byakuren
You're all free to blame her, even persecute her if you choose.
Byakuren
But this fantasy of happiness will soon end. It's up to you if you want to let your anger distract you until then.
Byakuren
However, there's one thing you mustn't forget―
Byakuren
This fairy brought you comfort, if only for a moment. And she fulfilled your desires.
The People
...
???
Larva! There you are!
Sunny Milk
Will you make us some more of that jello? We could really go for some.
Luna Child
We told everyone how great it was and they all said they wanted to try it. You must've been real busy lately.
Star Sapphire
You can't really blame them. It's super delicious.
Sunny Milk
I know! After we've eaten, let's play together!
Eternity Larva
You guys...
Eternity Larva
Sounds like a plan!
Disguised Bake-Danuki
I guess I got a bit carried away with the whole jello thing...
Hidden Youkai
Those fairies just want jello as a snack... That's actually not a bad idea!
Eternity Larva
Please allow me to thank you. Without you, that situation would surely have gotten out of hand.
Byakuren
Don't mention it. After all, it was me who suggested you speak to the people before going home.
Byakuren
I must commend your bravery, though. It took real courage to stand up in front of them all like that.
Byakuren
Making mistakes and facing rejection are a part of life.
Byakuren
But belief is the path to salvation. That goes for the people, and for those who would lead them like us.
Eternity Larva
You're right. I was so focused on the past that I'd lost sight of the present...
Eternity Larva
As well as that which matters most.
Cirno
Dai! Something real strange just flew over that way!
Daiyousei
I saw it, too! It was all shiny, right? Let's go after it!
Nue
Aaaand they've forgotten all about the jello. Interests really do change like the winds.
Yoshika
What is that thing they're chasing?
Nue
Just some scrap of paper that was lying over there.
Yoshika
No way! ...Is this another one of your pranks?
Nue
You guessed it!
Yoshika
Whoa, it's so cool how you can do that!
Nue
In that case, why don't I show you something even cooler!
Eternity Larva
Are they... swallowtail butterflies?
Eternity Larva
Right...
Eternity Larva
The sky represents freedom... and shines with the light of hope.
Byakuren
All right, I think it's time we said goodbye.
I wish you could stay...!
Yoshika
Hey, I have an idea!
Yoshika
Before we go, why don't we all have some jello?!
Nue
Haha, you can't be serious?
Nue
Although, maybe that's not such a bad idea.
Byakuren
I know I could go for some jello.
Eternity Larva
You guys...
Eternity Larva
Yes, please try some. I hope you enjoy it.
Yoshika
Ready everyone?
It's jello time!
Eternity Larva
So what do you think, PLAYER?
It's super yummy!
It's super refreshing!
Eternity Larva
I'm glad you like it.
Eternity Larva
Mine's bittersweet...
Eternity Larva
Then again, maybe that's just my imagination.
[L?] A Tasty Twist
Yukari
Welcome back, PLAYER. Did you enjoy the festival?
Yukari
That's right. The star of this interworld festival was this...
Yukari
In both worlds, it was known as tachibana jello. Do you think that was a coincidence or not?
Yukari
In any case, it's the perfect snack for the start of summer.
Yukari
Would you like some?
Yes, please!
Yukari
Here you are.
Yukari
That reminds me...
Yukari
Who was it that used the big red Seal Crystal in the end?
Yukari
Teehee. Perhaps we should take a look the next time you visit.
Yukari
Oh, and before you go―
Yukari
Did you enjoy that jello?
It was tart but sweet! Like mandarin oranges!
It was super refreshing. I could eat a ton of it!
Yukari
I'm glad to hear it. I haven't eaten any myself, so I was awfully curious.
Yukari
By the way...
Yukari
Have you ever heard of the Food of the Dead?
[L2.2] New Arrivals
Seiga
Today's been such a slow day. There aren't even many staff members here.
Sagume
[A day like this isn't so bad once in a while. The few guests we have are able to take it nice and slow.]
Seiga
Hehe, you're right.
Seiga
But still, I'm glad you all came to help.
Seiga
We'll need to split into groups if we want to try making tachibana jello without closing the club.
Sagume
[Agreed. If there's anything I can do, just let me know.]
Seiga
Thanks, Miss Sagume.
Seiga
I still can't believe the pinball machine stopped giving out jello!
Sagume
(Doesn't that mean it's back to normal...?)
Yoshika & Co.
We're back!
Sagume
[Sounds like PLAYER and the others are back from the shop. Let's go and give them a hand.]
Seiga
...Who are those two?!
Yoshika
Someone to help us make jello and a Buddhist priest dressed for the beach!
Sagume
[Where did you find them?!]
Well, uhh...
We couldn't find all the ingredients in the village.
Koishi
Yeah! There were no tachibana oranges...
Koishi
So we went looking for some!
Sagume
[You mean you tried to find a tachibana tree?!]
Yoshika
Uh-huh. And while we were walking around...
Clownpiece
We ran into Byakuren and this kinda big Larva!
Seiga
She's way bigger than regular Eternity Larva!
Koishi
Oh, right. That's 'cause she's from a parallel world! Byakuren, too!
Seiga & Sagume
A p-parallel world?!
Clownpiece
Yep. And they brought tachibana jello with them! Pretty awesome, right?
Yoshika
They didn't recognize us at first, but they're super friendly! They even gave us tachibana oranges!
Koishi
We brought them here 'cause they need help!
Sagume
[I see...]
Seiga
I have more questions than I can count... but I suppose I'll start by asking what it is you need help with.
Byakuren
This place is so pretty! It's nothing like the beach house, but I totally dig it!
Eternity Larva
It's very fancy! I know, let's order a couple of drinks!
Seiga
Are you even listening to me?!
Sagume
[Wow. It sounds like you've been having a tough time...]
Eternity Larva
Yep. And now, we've ended up in this world...
Eternity Larva
...all thanks to THEIR wish.
Koishi & Clownpiece
Teehee.
Byakuren
Well, we were standing rather close to that big red Seal Crystal...
Byakuren
This was just a little mishap!
Sagume
(I'm not sure "little" is the right word...)
Sagume
[Well, Seiga said you could stay here until you figure out how to get home. I'll do what I can to help.]
Byakuren
Thank you so much. I just hope we can find some way to repay you...
Eternity Larva
Did you say... Seiga?
Eternity Larva
(She used to be one of Lady Taishi's teachers, just like me...)
Eternity Larva
...
Byakuren
Is everything all right, Miss Larva?
Eternity Larva
...I'm fine. Forget I said anything.
Clownpiece
Hey, Larva, let's play together!
Koishi
And you gotta show us how to make jello!
Eternity Larva
H-Hey. Quit pushing me!
Byakuren
Hehe, those two are full of life.
Sagume
[Just think of this as them welcoming Miss Eternity Larva to our club.]
Byakuren
Wait a second... I just thought of a way to repay your kindness!
Byakuren
I'm gonna work here!
Sagume
...Come again?
[L2.2] First Day on the Job
Yukari
Oh, hello there. Are you enjoying the interworld festival?
Yukari
It seems my lunchtime nap lasted a little longer than I'd planned, and I wasn't able to prepare―
Yukari
I mean, I was busy working on something top secret. I think it's time for me to head home, now.
Yukari
I look forward to seeing you again!
Yukari
(Hmm...)
Yukari
(The sweets and drinks here were scrumptious!)
Eternity Larva
Oops, I ended up getting carried away playing.
Eternity Larva
But at least I got to teach them how to make tachibana jello.
Eternity Larva
I think I've earned a little sit-down.
Keine
Sorry to disturb you, but do you mind if I sit here?
Keine
We're not as busy as usual, but the other tables are still packed with regulars.
Eternity Larva
Go right ahead.
Keine
Thanks.
Eternity Larva
Is that... your students' homework?
Keine
Uh-huh. On quiet days, I like to get some of my marking done.
Eternity Larva
Oh.
Keine
Hm?
Eternity Larva
It's nothing. It's just... that's Sunny and the others' homework, isn't it?
Eternity Larva
I kind of miss helping them study.
Keine
You used to help them study?
Eternity Larva
Uh-huh. It wasn't for long, but it felt great to be a teacher again.
Keine
Well, I'd love to discuss teaching styles with you. I hardly ever bump into a fellow educator.
Eternity Larva
Wow, that sounds like fun!
Meanwhile...
Byakuren
Hehe, I'm glad Miss Seiga allowed me to work here.
Sagume
[Y-Yep...]
Let's do our best, parallel-world Miss Byakuren!
Byakuren
You said it!
Sagume
(Oddly enough, her swimsuit fits with the club's theme...)
Sagume
(I suppose I'll try and be grateful she's helping out and let her enjoy her time here.)
Yoshika
Hey, I need a hand here!
Seiga
Some of the guests are getting a bit rowdy. Would you go and calm them down?
Sagume
[Of course. I'll go right away.]
Byakuren
Sounds like they need someone to beat some sense into them! Let's go!
Sagume
[Please don't hit the guests!]
Sagume
(We were kinda rough with them... but that went well. I guess bullet battles are just another form of communication.)
Byakuren
By the way, Miss Sagume, I was thinking...
Byakuren
It must be frustrating not being able to talk normally on account of your ability, no?
Sagume
...!
Byakuren
When people read instead of listen they tend to misunderstand things or find nuances that weren't intended.
Byakuren
I'm sure you choose your words carefully so that doesn't happen.
Sagume
[...I guess.]
Byakuren
I thought so. In that case, how about from now on...
Byakuren
...you stop worrying so much?!
Sagume
...Huh?
[L2.2] Clinging on to Resentment
Eternity Larva
It was so much fun talking to you about teaching. It reminded me of the good old days!
Keine
It's not every day you get to hear about historical education methods from a primary source.
(I came to see how Miss Larva was doing...)
(But it looks like she had fun talking with Miss Keine!)
(I better get back and help with the guests!)
Keine
Well, I think it's time for me to get back to work. Feel free to stay as long as you please.
Eternity Larva
I'd have loved to keep chatting, but she has to put her job first.
Eternity Larva
Hm? Is that...?
Saki
Right, I'm off! Today's the perfect day for training, and I can't wait to get started!
Eternity Larva
(It can't be...)
Eternity Larva
(Kurokoma of Kai?)
Eternity Larva
...
???
Was that Saki you were staring at?
Eternity Larva
I couldn't help it. If the memories in my soul aren't mistaken, she's...
Eternity Larva
No, those memories are dull and faded. I shouldn't trust them.
Junko
Hm, is that so? Even still...
Junko
The way you were looking at her was different to the way you look at Seiga.
Eternity Larva
Seiga was my colleague. Before I lost my position as Lady Taishi's teacher, that is.
Eternity Larva
Uzumasa ruined everything...!
Junko
I see you carry a great deal of resentment.
Eternity Larva
...
Junko
Let's talk a little.
Junko
If you like, we can have a battle first. That might help clear the dark clouds that gather above you.
Eternity Larva
...Very well. But only because you've relit the flames of my fury.
Eternity Larva
Here I come!
Junko
So, do you feel better now?
Eternity Larva
A little.
Junko
Then it's time for us to talk.
Junko
If you, a fairy, were to be purified like me, I'm sure you could withstand the endless boredom.
Eternity Larva
...Perhaps. It's impossible to know for certain, though.
Junko
So why then, have you chosen to hold on to your resentment for so long?
Junko
Why do you allow yourself to be tormented by the "memories in your soul," as you put it?
Eternity Larva
...!
Junko
Purified emotions and spirit, clinging on to resentment throughout the ages...
Junko
...And the choice you've made to continue hating this "Uzumasa." What good could possibly come of all this?
Junko
What is it you want?
Eternity Larva
What I want is...
Eternity Larva
(Actually, I don't know what I want... Does this mean I feel more than just resentment toward Uzumasa?)
Eternity Larva
Would you be able to tell me what I want...
Eternity Larva
...Master Kawakatsu?
[L2.2] Mistaken Identities
Byakuren
OK, which guests need serving next? Showing people how to play at the beach Myouren Temple-style is great!
Sagume
(What beach? She can't possibly mean the Sea of Tranquility...)
Sagume
(Anyway...)
Sagume
(She told me to stop worrying, but how am I supposed to do that?)
Byakuren
Three more guests have arrived!
Welcome to―huh? Is that...?!
Sagume
(T-Toyosatomimi no Miko?! And she's not alone!)
Sagume
(Why did they have to show up while Byakuren's here?! I hope nothing bad happens...)
Miko
Can I ask you something, Miss Priest?
Byakuren
Of course. What is it?
Miko
What are you wearing?!
Futo
Thou art showing far more skin than usual!
Tojiko
And what's that on your hand?!
Byakuren
On the contrary, what are YOU wearing Miss Miko?
Miko
Wh-What do you mean?
Byakuren
Where's your swimsuit?!
Tojiko, Miko & Futo
...Huh?!
Byakuren
Oh, did you perhaps donate it to someone in need?!
Byakuren
While our beliefs may differ, we both have the people's best interests at heart!
Futo
Wh-What's going on here?
Tojiko
I have a bad feeling about this, Lady Taishi...
Miko
I'm not sure, but I think she might be from a parallel world.
Tojiko & Futo
A p-parallel world?!
Sagume
[You must all be very confused, but for now, why don't you just take a seat?]
Byakuren
...I think I understand now.
Byakuren
Not wearing a swimsuit, your tired appearance, coming to the social club in search of relaxation...
Byakuren
With all the troubles on your mind, it's no wonder you weren't playing on the beach!
Miko
The beach? I still have no idea what you're talking about.
Byakuren
Fear not! At times like this, all you need...
Byakuren
...is a little exercise to clear your head!
Sagume
[A-Are you sure about that?!]
Byakuren
This isn't the time for worrying. Have at it!
Tojiko
Hey, umm... Do you mind getting her under control?
Sagume
[You heard her. Have at it!]
Tojiko
You're just as bad as she is! And quit stealing my line!
Byakuren
I didn't realize you were this world's Miss Miko... I'm sorry for shooting so much water at you.
Miko
There's no need to apologize. I mistook your identity, too. Although... you could've gone easier with the water gun.
Miko
But that doesn't matter now.
Miko
...It seems I'm more tired than I thought.
Byakuren
That's terrible! Perhaps you should go home and take a nap.
Miko
I would like to have stayed longer, but I think you're right.
Tojiko & Futo
L-Lady Taishi, wait for us!
Sagume
(I held nothing back. I was still a bit worried, but I was able to communicate with them pretty well.)
Sagume
(But still...)
Sagume
(It won't be so simple with her.)
Sagume
(I need to change my entire outlook. Maybe then, I'll be able to find a way forward.)
[L2.2] A Fond Farewell
Junko
Before I forget...
Junko
This stuff was called tachibana jello, right?
Eternity Larva
Uh-huh. It's almost identical to the jello I was making before and shares the same name...
Eternity Larva
It's quite the coincidence seeing as this is a different world.
Junko
Perhaps the name isn't simply a coincidence.
Eternity Larva
What do you mean?
Junko
Well, it was Okina Matara who named it tachibana jello.
Eternity Larva
Master Kawakatsu? ...I-I mean, Uzumasa?!
Junko
I don't know why she named it that, and unfortunately, she isn't here for us to ask her.
Junko
But all names are chosen for a reason.
Junko
Even when it comes to jello.
Junko
So, butterfly fairy...
Junko
Was it coincidence that you and the secret god chose the same name? Or was it inevitable?
Eternity Larva
I... I don't know.
Eternity Larva
But...
Eternity Larva
This world's tachibana jello is starting to grow on me.
Eternity Larva
That's all I can say for now.
Junko
Hah. Is that so?
Byakuren
Miss Laaaarva!
Byakuren
I found these when I was tidying up.
Eternity Larva
Are they... Seal Crystals?
Seiga
It looks like it. But I'm sure they weren't here before.
Clownpiece
Come to think of it, that big blue Seal Crystal appeared out of nowhere too, huh?
Koishi
It's so weird how they keep showing up.
Sagume
[I suppose "weird" is one way to put it. Things have been rather hectic...]
Byakuren
This is the first time I've seen purple ones, but they should hold some kind of power.
Eternity Larva
Well, using them is the fastest way to find out.
Eternity Larva
Even if they don't take us home, we can always just explore the next world.
Eternity Larva
We'll be able to learn and experience new things.
Eternity Larva
Almost like being reborn...
You weren't here long, but I had fun with you two!
You're always welcome to come back!
Byakuren
Teehee. Being excited to end up in a parallel world again is a strange feeling.
Eternity Larva
I can't wait to spend more time here!
Koishi, Clownpiece & Sagume
Come back soon! [We'll be here waiting.]
