Wakasagihime
Wakasagihime's Fantasy Rebirth Story
I wonder where Wakasagihime is...
???
*tuneful singing*
Is that... singing? They have such a beautiful voice!
Wakasagihime
Finished!
Wakasagihime
Ah!
W-Wakasagihime!
Wakasagihime
PLAYER! You can't wander about in a place like this!
Wakasagihime
To be honest, I'm kinda impressed you made it here safely... I'm pretty sure you should've run into some you-know-what.
Well, the thing is...
I had people protecting me!
Wakasagihime
No kidding! Everyone's so tough taking on those enemies...!
What were you doing when I got here?
Wakasagihime
Me? As it happens...
Wakasagihime
I was trying to find a way to help out against the big incident. Things have gotten really bad lately.
Wakasagihime
I'm not very strong, but there's gotta be some way I can help. I talked to Kagerou and Sekibanki and decided to do all I can.
Wakasagihime
And I'm happy to report...
Wakasagihime
The fish evacuation is complete!
Wakasagihime
I did it! I finally got them all to safety!
Wow, that's... amazing!
Wakasagihime
Hehehe!
Wakasagihime
But it's hard to keep up my strength out of the water, so the kappa had to help me quite a bit.
Wakasagihime
Even the ice fairy did her best for all the fish. She's really something.
Wakasagihime
I'm happy the evacuation's done, but I'm also happy that we all did it together.
Wakasagihime
Times are tough, but it's nice to know everyone still cares about each other.
Wakasagihime
Which is why I couldn't help but sing to myself earlier.
(I had a feeling it was her.)
Wakasagihime
The local poltergeists sometimes praise my singing. They say it has ominous night sparrow vibes!
(I guess that's a compliment coming from a youkai!)
Wakasagihime
...
Wakasagihime
...Actually, we don't have time to chit-chat like this!
Wakasagihime
With things as they are, there must be a reason you're here.
Wakasagihime
So come on, spill it.
Wakasagihime
But you know I'm not very strong out of the water, right? And I have no special talents...
Don't worry, this is something you're good at.
So please help me out!
Wakasagihime
O-OK... What do you want me to do?
I want you to find a pretty stone!
Wakasagihime
Hmmm...
Wakasagihime
No, this one's no good... Nor this one.
Wakasagihime
There might not be any of the special Seal Crystals you're looking for around here.
I see... Thanks anyway!
Wakasagihime
The bottom of the lake is mostly unexplored. There were sooo many Seal Crystals lying around down there!
Wakasagihime
But they were all just regular ones. There are still tons more, but none of the special ones you're looking for.
Wakasagihime
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Wakasagihime
Why are you looking for a special Seal Crystal anyway?
Umm, it's kind of a long story, but basically...
I'm collecting Ability fragments from people and items.
Wakasagihime
I see, I see.
But to combine them all...
Wakasagihime
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
...we need a special Seal Crystal.
Wakasagihime
What?! So it'll help resolve the Lost Word Incident? That makes it, like, super important!
That's what Miss Yukari said. It's all I have to go on.
Wakasagihime
Th-The fact she asked you to find one...
Wakasagihime
Is amazing!
Wakasagihime
It's proof of how much she trusts you. I always knew you were special.
Wakasagihime
You're so different from a weakling like me. You're a hero.
I-I don't know about that!
Wakasagihime
I knew it from the day we first met. You're kindhearted and strong.
Wakasagihime
And now, you're helping everyone. It makes me proud to call you my friend.
Wakasagihime
You've worked so hard already, but I know it'll all pay off soon...
Thanks. But wait a sec!
Wakasagihime
...Huh? Why?
I can't do this alone.
Wakasagihime
No?
I need your help. I need your strength.
Wakasagihime
My strength... Why?
Wakasagihime
I'm not trying to put myself down, but I know my own limitations. I'm weak.
Wakasagihime
I've lived a long time, but I'm not much stronger than a human. I can't compete with shrine maidens or magicians.
Wakasagihime
I'm just... *sniff* I'm just trying to do all I can!
Don't be so hard on yourself...
Wakasagihime
...
Wakasagihime
Sorry, PLAYER. I shouldn't use you as a shoulder to cry on.
Wakasagihime
But like I said, I'm weak.
You're not weak... You're not weak at all.
Wakasagihime
...
Wakasagihime
Kagerou and Sekibanki always say that too.
Wakasagihime
But I feel like collecting pretty stones is about all I'm good for.
Huh? What's that in your hand?
Wakasagihime
Oh, this?
Wakasagihime
I found it at the bottom of the lake. It's not a Seal Crystal, but I took it because it's so pretty.
It kinda looks like... a dragon gem!
Wakasagihime
No way!
Wakasagihime
Actually... I think you might be right! I saw plenty more down on the lakebed.
They must've flowed down here from the mountain.
Wakasagihime
Dragon gems can store copies of Abilities, memories, and even temperament, right?
Wakasagihime
This one's kinda small, but it might be able to store a copy of my Ability!
If it can, can I use it to search for Seal Crystals?
Wakasagihime
...!
Wakasagihime
Finding stones isn't my Ability, it's more like a hobby. But if I copy my memories into the gem, they might come in handy!
I'm sure they will! Thanks, Wakasagihime!
Wakasagihime
The other dragon gems might be useful too. I'll give you all the ones in my collection.
Wakasagihime
I was wondering what I should do next, but for now, I'll try and retrieve all the other gems from the lakebed.
Wakasagihime
I'll ask everyone I know to store copies of their abilities in them. That should make a small difference in this fight...
A small difference? More like a HUGE difference!
Wakasagihime
Hehehe!
I think Miss Yukari is counting on your strength, too.
Wakasagihime
Is this... one of those outfits I've been hearing about?
Open it up and see.
I'm sure it'll suit you.
Wakasagihime
Wow...!
Wakasagihime
I-It's beautiful! I feel like bursting into song.
Wakasagihime
You know, I can't remember much about my past.
Wakasagihime
I used to be able to, but now, none of my memories feel like they're my own.
(That's exactly what everyone else has been saying!)
Wakasagihime
It's faint, but there's still one memory that feels like my own...
Wakasagihime
It's of me swimming in an ocean to the far east with the Sun rising above me...
Wakasagihime
...Wait! This isn't the time for reminiscing.
Wakasagihime
Thank you, PLAYER. And thank the sage for me, would you?
We're the ones who should be thanking you.
Wakasagihime
All my dragon gems are yours.
Wakasagihime
We arrived in Gensokyo after a long voyage...
Wakasagihime
I'll do all I can to protect it.
Costume Presentation
Wakasagihime
I'm not very strong or brave... but I want to return you to your home since there's no other place like it, after all. But that means we'll eventually have to say goodbye... No, I'll use what little strength I have to make that a reality―for your sake!
