Chiyariii!
???
Hm?
Chiyari
What's up, PLAYER?
Chiyari
Surely you heard from Toutetsu. I'm actually busy for once.
Chiyari
I don't have time to mess around. I want to get this over with.
Chiyari
So, yeah, I'll catch up with you later.
Wait a sec!
Chiyari
Seriously? If you've got something to say, spit it out.
Chiyari
You're busy, too, right? C'mon, out with it.
Chiyari
The Lost Word Incident's running amok. No one has a clue how to handle it...
Wh-What's wrong?
Chiyari
Something's off. If no one knows how to handle it, why is everyone panicking?
That sounds like a normal reaction to me.
Chiyari
I guess. Nobody wants to get attacked by those weird enemies, so they stay alert, gather intel...
Chiyari
I get that. But even so, this panic spread way too fast.
Chiyari
There's no way to combat the enemies. Only way to survive is to run.
Chiyari
So is it the people fleeing that are causing all the fuss?
Chiyari
I didn't think there were that many cowards in Gensokyo.
You're right. Something IS strange.
Chiyari
Sure, some people probably saw others get attacked and raised the alarm.
Chiyari
But if they didn't plan to help, why didn't they just keep their mouths shut and go hide?
Chiyari
And if they were researching the enemies to secure their own survival, they definitely wouldn't have spoken up.
Chiyari
Someone started this panic. I just can't figure out who.
Chiyari
Whoever it was, they weren't alone. Like I said, it's spreading too fast.
Hm...
Chiyari
What is it?
Maybe they're making a big deal out of this...
To keep Gensokyo's fighters from being reckless.
Chiyari
Huh. That's pretty clever.
Maybe it was the Sages of Gensokyo.
Chiyari
Whoa!
Chiyari
That makes a LOT of sense!
Chiyari
Keeping their motives hidden, manipulating others from afar... That's what the sages are all about.
At least it's for a good cause this time!
Chiyari
A good cause? Hm...
Chiyari
I'm not so sure.
Chiyari
...So, yeah.
Chiyari
Bottom line is, someone must've gone down. Otherwise, the sages wouldn't have had anything to observe.
Right... But who?
Chiyari
Beats me. Anyone come to mind?
The only person I know who's missing is Miss Yukari.
Chiyari
Yukari? As in Yukari Yakumo? A sage putting their life on the line...
She wouldn't sacrifice herself, though, right?
Chiyari
Hm.
Chiyari
I wouldn't worry. No matter what's going on, you can't observe things if you're dead.
Chiyari
And since observing things is the whole point, I'd say Yukari's disappearance is unrelated.
Chiyari
It must've been someone we don't know. There's no point thinking about it now.
G-Good point.
(I still think Miss Yukari disappeared on purpose...)
Chiyari
...
Chiyari
I've got mixed feelings about the sages. They do some weird stuff, but it's never without a reason.
Chiyari
They keep the youkai from attacking humans in the village. I doubt they'd suddenly be OK with sacrificing the weak now.
Chiyari
Sages only get to be called sages because they follow the same rules they impose on everyone else.
So basically, deep down, they take things seriously?
Chiyari
You could say that. They take things so seriously that sometimes they seem totally unserious.
Chiyari
I would know. There's not a serious bone in my body.
Ha... Hahaha!
Can't argue with you there!
Chiyari
...!
Chiyari
Hah! Finally got you to smile.
Chiyari
You were so gloomy when you arrived. I was worried.
Chiyari
The Lost Word Incident's no joke. No one knows what's coming next.
Chiyari
That might sound scary. But there's another way to look at this.
Chiyari
Worrying's not gonna help. So you might as well stay relaxed and keep your head up.
Yeah. Thanks, Chiyari.
Chiyari
No need to thank me. Didn't do anything, really.
Chiyari
Speaking of not doing anything...
Chiyari
I still haven't done the task Toutetsu gave me! Urgh, I got way too into this chat!
Chiyari
...Hang on, you never told me why you're here!
Oh, sorry! I came to give you this!
Chiyari
It's not my birthday, you know?
It's from the sages, with Zanmu and Yuuma's approval!
Chiyari
Huh. That's a pretty odd combo.
Chiyari
*gasp*
Chiyari
You want me to wear this?!
It's like a weapon for the final battle. So, yeah.
Chiyari
Are you messing with me? You are, aren't you?!
Everyone else has agreed to wear theirs.
Chiyari
Th-They have?
Chiyari
I guess I don't wanna be the odd one out.
Don't worry, you'll look super cute in it.
Chiyari
H-Hey! Now I KNOW you're making fun of me!
Chiyari
Toutetsu told me something similar once. She said I was cute and that it's a shame I don't go out more.
Chiyari
And Zanmu gave me an adorable designer T-shirt. Was she tryna tell me the same thing?
(It's crazy she's still unsure!)
Chiyari
Whatever. Now I've got this outfit, it's time to get to work.
Chiyari
This final battle? Let's get it over with.
Chiyari
Even if I don't feel like it, I'll be there. You have my word.

Chiyari
Thanks to you, my investigation's going well. Gotta say I'm grateful... What do you mean, what investigation? You didn't know? Toutetsu and Zanmu asked me to gather intel on the big incident. Things woulda been tougher without you. I owe you one.
