Take It Hot
Index
Hard at Work
Cirno
Wow, it seems everyone wants shaved ice today! Here, one strawberry and one melon! Take 'em away, Yukkuri Cirno!
Yukkuri Cirno
Yuyuyu!
Reimu
What a surprise. I think you might have the most popular stall at the festival.
Cirno
I know, right? Lucky Yukkuri Cirno's here to help me out! She can't talk, but she sure can carry ice!
Yukkuri Cirno
Yuyu.
Cirno
Like me, she can directly touch cold things no problem.
Reimu
Yukkuris are pretty handy, huh?
Reimu
Reminds me of Alice's puppet show. The kids love it, thanks to Yukkuri Alice helping out. Look, they're just over there.
Cirno
Wow, so many yukkuris! Are they real?
Reimu
No clue... I can't tell them apart. Apparently, even Alice gets real yukkuris mixed up with her dolls sometimes.
Reimu
And then there's my yukkuri. She's been working hard. I don't know where she gets it from 'cause it's certainly not from me.
Yukkuri Reimu
Yuyuyuyu. Yu-yuyuyu, yu.
Reimu
She's been bouncing around with that offering box she made, collecting candy, toys, and other random donations.
Reimu
We've agreed that if she gets any coins, they go to the shrine. Yukkuris really are great, aren't they?!
Cirno
You said it! Hahaha!
Yukkuri Marisa
They're late. Did they forget we were meeting up today?
Yukkuri Alice
They're probably busy with the spring festival. All the Yukkuri Masters are getting their yukkuris to help out.
Yukkuri Alice
I got away by switching places with a yukkuri doll... I wonder how long it'll take for Alice to realize I'm gone.
You don't seem happy about it...
Yukkuri Alice
Maybe I should start wearing a nameplate! Really, I can't believe Alice! She's my master! She should recognize me!
Yukkuri Marisa
Calm down, Yukkuri Alice. Also, it'd be easier to just write something on the doll.
Yukkuri Flan
This candied apple is so yummy! If they're not here by the time I finish it, I'll destroy this room.
What?! There's a time limit?! Hurry, Yukkuri Reimu!
Yukkuri Reimu
Phew, I'm beat.
Yukkuri Cirno
I'm Yukkuri Cirno! We finished helping out at the festival!
Thank goodness. They made it in time...
Yukkuri Reimu
Whaddya mean? It's not like we promised to meet at a specific time, did we?
Yukkuri Cirno
Nah, I get it! Shaved ice will melt if you don't hurry and give it to the customer as soon as it's made!
Yukkuri Reimu
I doubt she was talking about shaved ice...
Yukkuri Cirno
Let's talk about it! If you're selling shaved ice, that's the one thing you gotta remember!
Yukkuri Reimu
Your shaved ice drew a lot of people to the shrine. Thanks to that, my offering box is practically overflowing!
Yukkuri Reimu
Huh?! It should be fuller than this...
Yukkuri Reimu
Reimu must have taken the coins when she peeked inside it earlier... She's meant to be a shrine maiden, not a thief!
Yukkuri Alice
...This seems to happen every time, but I'm struggling to keep up again. Where yukkuris gather, chaos follows.
Yukkuri Marisa
Sometimes, you just gotta roll with it, but not now. C'mon, you guys. We're all here, so let's start already!
Yukkuri Marisa
We gotta come up with a plan to help Yukkuri PLAYER!
Yukkuri Get-Together
To think that everyone gathered here for me...
I can't thank you guys enough.
Yukkuri Reimu
Don't mention it.
Yukkuri Reimu
Your problems are like an incident only we yukkuris know about.
Yukkuri Reimu
So it just makes sense to leave resolving them to us pro yukkuri incident resolvers!
Yukkuri Marisa
It's also a good excuse to bounce around together and have fun.
Yukkuri Alice
In a way, it's kinda like the festival today. Everyone's gathered here at the shrine to have fun.
Yukkuri Marisa
All right, enough dilly-dallying. Has anyone got anything to report?
Yukkuri Alice
Not really... but that thing from the other day has been bothering me. Has there been any update on that?
Yukkuri Alice
You know, the thing Reimu said when we battled the familiar in my house.
Yukkuri Flan
What did she say again? I forgot.
Yukkuri Reimu
Hrmmm... I dunno. That's just what my instincts are telling me.
Yukkuri Reimu
Maybe we summoned another one somewhere else... somewhere not in this room.
Yukkuri Alice
Remember now? So, did anyone figure out what that was?
Yukkuri Flan
Nope. I haven't seen anything like that.
Yukkuri Reimu
I don't really understand it too well, either. I just said what came to mind.
Yukkuri Marisa
But you were acting so serious when you said it.
Yukkuri Marisa
Like, "That's just what my instincts are telling me."
Yukkuri Flan
"What my instincts are telling me." It's such a cool line! You gotta say it while gazing off into the distance!
Yukkuri Alice
No, that's not how she said it. You gotta place more emphasis on the "That's just" part.
Yukkuri Alice
She was trying to sound humble to hide how confident she felt. Like this, "That's just... what my instincts are telling me."
Yukkuri Marisa
Hey, that's cheating! It's so much more believable if you use ventriloquism to make it look like your doll said it.
Yukkuri Cirno
Is that really how you said it, Yukkuri Reimu? I wasn't there!
Yukkuri Cirno
Can you show me the look you gave when your instincts were completely wrong?
Yukkuri Reimu
Argh!
Yukkuri Reimu
My instincts are telling me that you guys are gonna get it if you don't cut this out!
Yukkuri Reimu
*huff* *huff* It's too hot to be having such an intense battle...
Yukkuri Marisa
*pant* *pant* This always happens... It feels like I'm gonna become a steamed manju...
This always happens? What do you mean?
Yukkuri Alice
Right, you've never been to one of our big yukkuri get-togethers before, have you, PLAYER?
Yukkuri Alice
They always end in a battle of bullets over some pointless argument! *sigh*
Yukkuri Reimu
What was up with those tsukumogami? They just came out of nowhere. Were they hyped up 'cause of the festival?
Yukkuri Flan
They're the ones who chased me to the Misty Lake!
Yukkuri Cirno
That vase had guts! Hmmm... Yep, they passed!
Yukkuri Reimu
At what?
Hot
Yukkuri Marisa
All right, let's get back on topic. So, Yukkuri Reimu's instincts were way off. Anything else to report?
Yukkuri Reimu
We don't know that yet! My instincts might be right! Also, it's really hot!
Yukkuri Alice
I'm still trying to cool down after that battle...
Yukkuri Marisa
I think it's just a hot day. It was hot yesterday, too... In fact, it's kinda just been hot in general lately.
Yukkuri Cirno
Yeah, it's the spring heat! That's why everyone wanted to buy some of me and Cirno's shaved ice!
Yukkuri Reimu
Sure, shaved ice is always a hit at summer festivals, but it's kinda rare for that to happen in spring.
Yukkuri Reimu
I was watching earlier, and it seems like Yukkuri Cirno was as big of a hit as the shaved ice.
Reimu
*satisfied sigh* I've almost forgotten how hot it is today. Hugging Yukkuri Cirno feels really nice.
Yukkuri Cirno
Yuyuyuyu...
Marisa
Hey, it's my turn now! Stop hogging the squishy ball of coldness!
Reimu
But I don't want to let go. She's so cool and soft! You can hug her from the other side if you want.
Marisa
I guess that works. Aaaaah, so cool...
Yukkuri Cirno
Yuyuyuyu...
Yukkuri Cirno
As the strongest yukkuri, I gotta do what I can to help those in need.
That's so cool!
Yukkuri Reimu
I have to agree. It's kinda crazy how you made a story about two people hugging a cold yukkuri genuinely inspiring...
Yukkuri Cirno
Hehehe!
Yukkuri Marisa
But it really is hot though, huh?
Yukkuri Marisa
I think Marisa said something about the sunflowers already being in bloom.
Yukkuri Flan
They are. I saw them with Flan on our night-time flight!
Yukkuri Flan
The Garden of the Sun was full of big, pretty sunflowers. It was super creepy. In a good way!
Yukkuri Reimu
That doesn't sound that good to me...
Vampires can see really well in the dark, huh?
Yukkuri Marisa
She's right, though. The Garden of the Sun can be pretty creepy.
Yukkuri Flan
It was even creepier than normal. We hate the sunlight, so me and Flan often fly about at night.
Yukkuri Flan
But as we were flying over the garden, the heat coming up from the ground almost felt like the actual Sun! It was weird.
Yukkuri Alice
Weird, huh? Come to think of it, I heard a rumor about the Garden of the Sun just the other day.
Yukkuri Alice
The kids were talking about it when I went to the Human Village with Alice to put on a puppet show.
Yukkuri Alice
They said they saw a round thing jump into the sunflower field.
Yukkuri Reimu
A round thing? Were they talking about a yukkuri?
Yukkuri Reimu
That's some really good intel! Why didn't you tell us earlier?!
Yukkuri Alice
I was going to, but then you started shooting bullets, and I forgot!
Yukkuri Reimu
Hey, don't blame me! It's your guys' fault for making fun of my instincts being off!
She finally admitted it!
Yukkuri Marisa
Calm down, guys. I'd rather you didn't start a pointless battle again.
Yukkuri Marisa
It's been weirdly hot lately, and it seems the Garden of the Sun is hot too.
Yukkuri Marisa
And we now know that there might be something hiding there.
Yukkuri Reimu
What are we waiting for?! To the Garden of the Sun!
Yukkuri Flan
Go, go, goooo!
Yukkuri Alice
Wow, look at her go... Is she really gonna be OK? They don't call it the Garden of the SUN for nothing, you know?
Yukkuri Marisa
Meh, she'll be fine. Lately, she's been slathering on sunscreen as if it's a sweet soy sauce glaze and she's a big dango.
Mmmm, sweet soy sauce glaze...
Sunflower Commentary
Yukkuris
Yuyu, yuyuyu, yu!
Yukkuri Reimu
I'm Yukkuri Reimu.
Yukkuri Marisa
And I'm Yukkuri Marisa. Today, we're gonna tell you all about the Garden of the Sun.
Yay, it's another Yukkuri Commentary!
Yukkuri Reimu
So, Marisa, almost everyone in Gensokyo knows about the Garden of the Sun...
Yukkuri Reimu
But I hardly ever go there. There's just no reason to.
Yukkuri Marisa
I know what you mean. It's a big sunflower field not too far from the Human Village.
Yukkuri Marisa
Sunflowers grow really well there 'cause there aren't any trees or buildings casting shade.
Yukkuri Marisa
The lack of shade is probably one of the main reasons why nobody tends to go there.
Yukkuri Reimu
The other is that there's basically nothing there except for the sunflowers.
But the big sunflowers are super pretty!
Yukkuri Reimu
You got that right! That's why the garden actually gets some visitors when they're in bloom.
Yukkuri Marisa
You say that, but seeing so many flowers, all the same height, all facing the same direction, is kinda scary.
Yukkuri Marisa
Marisa says it's a beautiful but ominous place.
Yukkuri Flan
Hey, I've got a question. Why are all the flowers the same height?
Yukkuri Marisa
Apparently, it's cause if any flower grows too tall, the fairies will attack it, causing it to wither and lose all its petals.
Yukkuri Marisa
They know that growing too tall would just paint a target on their face, so they stay at the same height. Creepy, right?
Yukkuri Marisa
Also, them all facing the same direction is a fairy prank.
Yukkuri Alice
Sunflowers stop turning to face the Sun once they're fully grown, right? So this is all caused by the fairies...
Yukkuri Cirno
I'm against fairies playing pranks on flowers! As an ice fairy, I believe the only thing we should prank is frogs!
Yukkuri Alice
But ice fairy pranks sound a whole lot worse... You freeze them, don't you?
Yukkuri Cirno
It's fine! Who doesn't love getting frozen?!
Yukkuri Alice
That's not fine at all!
Yukkuri Cirno
Anyway! Forget about pranks! This place is way too HOT! Take this, you stupid garden!
Cirno's trying to fight the Garden of the Sun...!
Yukkuri Reimu
I know it's got Sun in the name, but it's not normally this hot, is it, Yukkuri Marisa?
Yukkuri Marisa
No, it's not. The sunflowers are also only meant to bloom in summer. This clearly isn't normal.
Yukkuri Alice
Should we try asking the fairies and youkai who run this place if something happened recently?
Yukkuri Reimu
If you're thinking of Yuuka, I doubt she's here. She wanders around Gensokyo, following the flowers in bloom.
Yukkuri Reimu
She usually hangs around the cherry blossoms this time of year. Then again, if she realized the sunflowers are in bloom...
Yukkuri Flan
I heard you wanted to talk to the fairies, so I went and found a bunch of 'em who looked up for a battle!
Why?!
Yukkuri Alice
And how did you even get them to follow you so quickly? I didn't even notice you were gone.
Yukkuri Reimu
We gotta get a dog leash for her or something.
But we don't have necks...
Yukkuri Marisa
That was 100% Yukkuri Flan's fault, but I get the feeling more fairies might attack us if we just keep sitting here.
Yukkuri Reimu
You're right. Let's start searching.
Yukkuri Cirno
Let's finish this quickly. I wanna go home and escape this heat.
Yukkuri Reimu
This is your time to shine, Yukkuri Cirno!
Yukkuri Cirno
Huh? Me?
Yukkuri Reimu
You're super sensitive to heat, right? If you head to where you feel it's hottest, we'll follow you.
Yukkuri Cirno
Urgh! I don't like the sound of that!
Yukkuri Cirno
But... I'm the strongest yukkuri! I gotta help those in need...!
Heat Tracking
Yukkuri Cirno
So hot... This path's no good!
Yukkuri Marisa
In other words, if we go down it, we'll get closer to the source of this mysterious heat.
Yukkuri Marisa
C'mon, everyone! This way!
Yukkuri Reimu
Can you really call this a path? We're just bouncing between the sunflowers.
Yukkuri Alice
Also, I don't think we need Yukkuri Cirno to lead us anymore...
Yukkuri Alice
Even I can tell that it's way hotter up ahead.
Yukkuri Marisa
You said it. Look, even the sunflowers are starting to wither from the heat. We gotta be close.
Look! There's something red and round...
???
*sniffle* *crying*
???
Aaaaaaaagh!
Yukkuri Reimu
Is that a red Yukkuri Marisa?! Whoa, it's so hot!
Yukkuri Alice
Yeah, she looks just like her... But what's with this burning heat?! Is it coming from her?
Yukkuri Cirno
I'm gonna melt...
Yukkuri Flan
Oh, I get it. You're burning with excitement at finding a rare yukkuri. It's a double meaning!
Yukkuri Cirno
No, I'm just hot... I need a double serving of shaved ice...
Yukkuri Flan
I'm a vampire, so no matter how hot it gets, I'll never melt! I might turn to ash, though!
Yukkuri Flan
*slowly disintegrating*
Yukkuri Cirno
Wait... Isn't that worse than melting? Guys! Yukkuri Flan's turning to ash!
Yukkuri Marisa
This crazy heat is definitely coming from that yukkuri... but now I've got so many more questions.
Yukkuri Reimu
Like why is there another Yukkuri Marisa? She looks just like you.
Yukkuri Marisa
Are we really that similar? Like, that's my biggest question right now.
Yukkuri Reimu
Uh-huh. You're practically identical.
Yukkuri Alice
She looks more like you than Alice's doll.
Yukkuri Flan
Why don't you try sitting next to her? It'll be like a game of Spot the Difference!
Yukkuri Marisa
Right... I'm gonna have to trust you guys to spot 'em for me. Let's give it a go.
???
Aaargh!
Yukkuri Marisa
Ouch! I can't get closer! I forgot she was so hot!
???
Stop... Stay back!
Yukkuri Reimu
Oh, she talked.
She sounds kinda like us.
That must mean she's a yukkuri, too.
???
I can't control... my magic... this overwhelming heat!
???
What do I do...? I'm lost... all alone...!
???
At the very least... I can hide away somewhere... so I don't hurt anyone...
???
Huh? Is this one of those Seal Crystal things I've been hearing about?
???
Aren't they meant to be dangerous? Better go tell my master about it. She'll know what to―
???
Whoa! It's glowing! It's pulling me iiiiiiin!
???
Helloooo? Anyone there?
???
Strange. Thought I heard someone...
Helping?
???
Uaaaaaaaagggh!
Yukkuri Marisa
I don't really get what's going on, but it looks like she needs help...
Should we try asking her what's wrong?
Yukkuri Reimu
Good idea. But let's beat her up with some bullets first.
What?! Shouldn't we be trying to help her?
Yukkuri Reimu
Yeah, but we can't talk to her like this, can we? She's too hot to get close.
Yukkuri Reimu
Besides, you're meant to hit potential culprits of an incident with a purification rod first, then ask questions later.
Yukkuri Marisa
I knew you'd say that, Yukkuri Reimu.
Yukkuri Alice
That's how your masters always deal with incidents, isn't it?
Yukkuri Reimu
Exactly. C'mon, let's do this!
???
Aaaargh!
Yukkuri Reimu
Huh? That's strange... I thought hitting her with my purification rod would cool her down.
Yukkuri Marisa
Looks like it only made things worse.
Yukkuri Marisa
Reminds me of the time you thwacked the stove 'cause it was playing up. Reimu and Marisa got super mad.
Yukkuri Reimu
Oh, yeah. I remember that. It was cold, and I wanted to eat some hot, grilled mochi, but I couldn't grill any.
Yukkuri Marisa
Geez, you never learn, do you, Yukkuri Reimu?
Yukkuri Reimu
I guess not. Hahaha.
Yukkuri Alice
No, not "hahaha." This seems pretty serious.
Yukkuri Cirno
It's way too hot... I'm melting...
???
Uaaagh... Argh... Huh?
Yukkuri Cirno
She's not hot anymore!
Yukkuri Alice
Did she expel all her heat? Or maybe she used up all her magic.
???
Finally... I got the heat under control... Now I can rest easy for a bit...
???
But... I still don't know where I am. And I can't find my master...
???
No one understands me... I'm the only yukkuri... I'm all alone...
Yukkuri Flan
She's talking to herself!
Only yukkuris can understand other yukkuris...
???
I lost control 'cause I'm lonely, and it could happen again at any time... I don't want to hurt anyone...
She's bouncing away!
Yukkuri Reimu
Hey, wait up! Where are you going?
???
Somewhere not here... I just wanna hide away so no one gets hurt.
Yukkuri Reimu
Seriously? That's nothing like the Yukkuri Marisa I know! Actually... maybe it is!
Yukkuri Marisa
Which is it?
Yukkuri Reimu
Anyway! Red Yukkuri Marisa! Haven't you realized yet?
???
...Realized what?
Yukkuri Reimu
You said no one understands you and that you're the only yukkuri. But we're yukkuris. We understand each other.
???
Huh?
???
Y-You're right! You guys are yukkuris!
Yukkuri Reimu
We've been talking for a while, so I thought you'd have figured that out by now.
???
Sorry. It was 'cause of all the heat... I couldn't think straight.
Yukkuri Cirno
Heat is scary, huh?!
Yukkuri Reimu
All right, I guess we should introduce ourselves. I'm Yukkuri Reimu.
Yukkuri Marisa
I'm Yukkuri Marisa.
???
I'm Yukkuri Marisa.
So you're both Yukkuri Marisa.
Yukkuri Marisa
How come you're Yukkuri Marisa, too? That's so confusing!
Yukkuri Reimu
It's confusing enough as it is with all our names starting with "Yukkuri"...
Yukkuri Flan
I'm Yukkuri Flan!
She couldn't stop herself...
Yukkuri Marisa
I get you're just having fun, Yukkuri Flan, but that really doesn't help!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Yukkuri Reimu
You both having the same name is way too confusing. So, from now on, you're Yukkuri Red Marisa? Got it?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Fine. I guess this is your Gensokyo. If anyone should change their name, it should be me.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Nice to meet you all. I'm Yukkuri Red Marisa!
Yukkuri Reimu
Yay! Look, guys, it's Yukkuri Red Marisa!
Wow, you seem really happy, Yukkuri Reimu.
Are you two friends already?
Yukkuri Reimu
I'm happy 'cause she's the one I was talking about! The other thing we summoned!
Yukkuri Reimu
See! Take that! My instincts were right, after all!
Yukkuri Alice
So, who exactly are you, Yukkuri Red Marisa? You're a yukkuri, right? Did you come here from another Gensokyo?
Yukkuri Reimu
You just completely ignored me and my moment of glory! Honestly... that was a good call!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Yeah, I left my Gensokyo and came here through a red Seal Crystal. But I didn't mean to leave. It was an accident.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Marisa had left a red Seal Crystal lying around, so I was gonna warn her about it, but then it activated and sent me here!
Yukkuri Marisa
My Marisa's the same. She leaves all kinds of dangerous items on the floor.
Yukkuri Reimu
Sounds like you came here the same way as Yukkuri PLAYER.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Umm, she's talking about you, right?
Yep, that's me. I'm PLAYER.
Yukkuri Alice
Hold on a sec, Yukkuri Reimu. There's quite a big difference between Yukkuri PLAYER and Yukkuri Red Marisa.
Yukkuri Marisa
Yeah, they're both yukkuris from other worlds, but they're not the same.
Yukkuri Reimu
What are you talking about? Explain it to me, smart, spherical magicians.
Yukkuri Marisa
PLAYER used to be human. Remember? But something caused her to become a yukkuri.
Yukkuri Marisa
On the other hand, Yukkuri Red Marisa has always been a yukkuri. But that's not the only difference...
Yukkuri Marisa
Yukkuri Red Marisa still has her memories from before she arrived in this Gensokyo.
Yukkuri Alice
You don't remember how you got here or anything about having a Yukkuri Master, do you, PLAYER?
No...
All I remember is that I used to be human.
Yukkuri Alice
But Yukkuri Red Marisa still remembers her master and knows for certain that a red Seal Crystal sent her here.
Yukkuri Reimu
I see! That IS a big difference! She knows how she got here, so we should be able to figure out how to get her back home.
Yukkuri Marisa
A Seal Crystal sent her here, so I bet another one could send her back!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Do you really think it'll be that easy?
Yukkuri Marisa
Well, the Seal Crystals didn't work on PLAYER, but we won't know for sure until we try.
Yukkuri Alice
You're both lost yukkuris, so there's a chance they won't work on you, either.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Right... Well, I don't wanna cause you any more trouble...
Yukkuri Alice
Stop trying to bounce away! If you don't wanna trouble us, hiding here among the sunflowers isn't the way to do it!
Yukkuri Reimu
I'd feel bad if you got hot after trying to deal with this all by yourself again. Let us help you.
Yukkuri Marisa
You said it, Yukkuri Reimu. My Marisa would never bottle up her feelings and try to solve everything by herself!
Yukkuri Reimu
(You think...?)
Yukkuri Alice
(I can see her doing exactly that...)
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Hmmm, all right. You got kinda heated there, huh? Thanks! I don't feel lonely at all anymore!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
But even if a Seal Crystal CAN send me home, they're not that easy to come by, are they?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Even with all your help, we might never find one...
Yukkuri Alice
I think I know where a red Seal Crystal is.
Yukkuri Marisa
Same here!
Yukkuri Reimu
Me, too!
Yukkuri Cirno
Me, four!
Yukkuri Flan
I also know where we can find one!
Am I the only one who doesn't?!
Seal Crystal Leads
Yukkuri Red Marisa
How come you all know where to find a Seal Crystal?
Yukkuri Reimu
It's thanks to Yukkuri PLAYER.
Huh? Me?
Yukkuri Reimu
We've been gathering info about the crystals to try and find a way to send PLAYER back to her world.
Yukkuri Marisa
Yeah, and we've all been going about it in our own way.
Yukkuri Reimu
But ever since we figured out that red Seal Crystals don't work on PLAYER...
Yukkuri Marisa
We started to ignore any rumors about them, thinking we didn't need to find any.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
That makes sense. So, none of you actually have any then. You just know where we might be able to find one?
Yukkuri Alice
Uh-huh. But I'm confident we can track them down.
Yukkuri Reimu
Why don't we make this a bit more fun? We could compete to see who finds one the quickest.
Yukkuri Flan
That does sound fun! Count me in!
Yukkuri Cirno
Ready, set, GOOOOO!
They all bounced off...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
And they all went in different directions...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Umm, Yukkuri PLAYER, was it? Are you really OK with this?
OK with what?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
About using a red Seal Crystal to send me back.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
It sounds like you wound up here first, so it's only right that you get to go home first, too.
But I've already failed to go back to my world twice...
I think you should use the Seal Crystal!
Don't you miss everyone in your world?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Do I miss 'em?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Well, I guess there is someone I wanna see again...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Speaking of seeing people again―it's Yukkuri Alice!
Huh? Didn't you go look for a Seal Crystal?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Oh, I get it... That was just an act so you could take it easy while waiting for the others to do all the work. Isn't that right?
Yukkuri Alice
No, um, that's not it! Argh! Why'd I have to meet you here?! Now, everything I say will sound like an excuse!
Yukkuri Alice
And now the fairies are here, too... They're always butting in on conversations.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
You said it. Let's hurry up and defeat 'em, so I can tease you some more.
Yukkuri Alice
Don't! I'll explain everything once this battle is over, OK?
(Wow, they're already friends.)
Yukkuri Marisa
So, let's hear it, Yukkuri Alice. How are you gonna talk yourself out of this one?
Yukkuri Alice
You just have to say it like that, don't you? I bet you've already guessed the real reason why I'm here.
Yukkuri Alice
Fine. Whatever. I'll tell you. It's cause I reckon there's a Seal Crystal around these parts.
Huh? You mean in the Garden of the Sun?!
Yukkuri Alice
Remember how I told you about the village kids talking about the garden while me and Alice put on our puppet show?
Yeah, that's how we knew there was a yukkuri here.
Yukkuri Marisa
You sound like a detective or something. Seems Yukkuri Alice has really got it together in this world, too.
Yukkuri Alice
But that wasn't all that the kids said.
Yukkuri Alice
One talked about a strong-looking red thing in the garden. And another said they saw a red thing flying about.
Yukkuri Alice
I'm thinking what they might have seen was a strong fairy flying around the garden, holding a red Seal Crystal.
Yukkuri Marisa
Hmm, I see... Wait. Hang on.
Yukkuri Marisa
That can't be right, can it? It sounds like they were talking about me, not a fairy.
Yukkuri Alice
Hm?
Yukkuri Alice
Oh, you're right!
Yukkuri Alice
When they said they saw a round thing jump into the sunflower field, I figured they were talking about a yukkuri...
Yukkuri Alice
I had assumed the red thing was something else. I didn't realize they were talking about a RED yukkuri!
Yukkuri Marisa
Yeah, I'm red, and I'm not a Seal Crystal. Sorry about that.
Yukkuri Alice
I can't believe I made such a rookie error! This is so embarrassing! I'm meant to be the smart yukkuri!
Yukkuri Marisa
She bounced away, deeper into the sunflower field.
This garden is like the perfect yukkuri hiding spot...
Shrine Secret
Yukkuri Red Marisa
I get that it's a competition to find the Seal Crystal the fastest, but why'd they have to leave us behind?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
It's kinda boring just waiting around until they return.
Yeah, we've got nothing to do.
Also, if we stay here, the fairies might attack us again.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Why don't we go give one of 'em a hand? The more yukkuris searching, the better, right?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Not that we have any hands to give! Maybe we could give 'em a cheek.
A squishy yukkuri cheek!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
So, you think Yukkuri Reimu's somewhere around here?
Uh-huh. Before she left, she said...
...Reimu might have more Seal Crystals at the shrine!
Yukkuri Reimu
Oh, what are you guys doing here?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Sup. We figured you'd appreciate a few more helping cheeks.
Yukkuri Reimu
Cheeks?
Yukkuri Reimu
I'm not sure what that means, but you're welcome to help. Let's raid Reimu's hidden stash together.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
You mean we gotta grab the goods before she even realizes we're here?
Yukkuri Reimu
Exactly. Muahahaha...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
You sound like an evil witch laughing like that. Muhahahaha!
(These two get on really well, too.)
Yukkuri Reimu
I've seen Reimu hide Seal Crystals in a small, deep cupboard up really high.
Yukkuri Reimu
It's like the perfect place to hide something from a yukkuri.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Whaddya mean? We can fly, so it doesn't really matter how high the cupboard is.
Yukkuri Reimu
The height isn't a problem―it's the size! If she put them at the back of the cupboard, we won't be able to reach them!
Right. We don't have arms... All we have are cheeks...
Yukkuri Reimu
Fortunately, we've also got tools. I'm gonna fly up and open it...
Yukkuri Reimu
Now, I'll try and pull a Seal Crystal out with my purification rod... Argh! I can't quite hook it around!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Let me help, Yukkuri Reimu! I can use my broom!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
With the brush end, I can clean all the way to the back!
Yukkuri Reimu
We're not trying to clean it...
Yukkuri Reimu
Ah! I almost had one, but your broom pushed it deeper in!
Yukkuri Reimu
You're way more clumsy than our Yukkuri Marisa!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Nah, that was on purpose. I was making more room to use the full length of my broom...
Yukkuri Reimu
Wow, you hooked a Seal Crystal! You're much more skilled than our Yukkuri Marisa!
(Looks like they're having fun.)
Yukkuri Red Marisa
What are you smiling at, Yukkuri PLAYER? A Seal Crystal's coming your way.
Oh, I'll catch it!
Reimu got it first!
Yukkuri Reimu & Marisa
What? Reimu's here?
Reimu
*sigh* You're always causing mischief, aren't you? I only hid this earlier, and you've already found it.
Yukkuri Reimu
How are we meant to cause mischief if your shrine maiden instincts warn you every time?!
Reimu
Oh well. I hid it, hoping to surprise you later, but I guess you can play with it now.
Yukkuri Reimu
Play with it?
Reimu
It's a replica Seal Crystal. I got Alice to teach me how to make it.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
A replica...? You mean it's fake? Awww...
Reimu
You guys seem to have taken an interest in Seal Crystals. But it'd be dangerous to keep giving you the real thing...
Reimu
So, I made a replica that's completely safe to play with!
I see. It's like a toy for a pet.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
But we need a real Seal Crystal, Reimu. Did you think we'd be happy getting some toy?!
Reimu
Here, go fetch.
Yukkuri Reimu
Yay!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
No, not "yay"!
Melting House
Reimu
I'm really glad I made this! It's like the perfect toy to play with yukkuris.
Yukkuri Reimu
It's so bouncy! Yuyu! Yuyuyu!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
...
Oh, there you are, Yukkuri Red Marisa!
Playing catch with the replica was super fun, huh?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
I know, right?! Kind of a shame it wasn't a real Seal Crystal, though.
(Huh? Is it just me, or is it getting hot around her...?)
(Did watching the Reimus play make her feel homesick?)
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Looks like Reimu and Yukkuri Reimu will be playing for a while, so why don't we go help another yukkuri?
Good idea. Who should we help now?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
I dunno. They bounced off without telling us where they were going...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
But maybe they also returned home like Yukkuri Reimu. Seems like everyone's getting info from their master.
Maybe... Wanna try Cirno's house?
(That might help cool her down, too.)
Yukkuri Cirno
Argh! It's hot! Burning hot!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Well, she's here... But what on earth is she doing?
Yukkuri Cirno
Isn't it obvious?!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
No. All I see is that you've piled up snow to make a mini igloo with a mini campfire inside...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
And you're watching over it while shouting "hot" at the top of your lungs.
Yukkuri Cirno
Yep! That's exactly what I'm doing!
But why?!
Yukkuri Cirno
Fine, I'll explain it to you. You don't have to get so heated.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
You were the one screaming "hot"...
Yukkuri Cirno
I found a chunk of ice with a red Seal Crystal trapped inside!
Yukkuri Cirno
I was planning to get the Seal Crystal out of the ice if we ever needed one. And we need one now, right?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Uh-huh.
Yukkuri Cirno
That's why I used that ice and some other ice chunks to make a house! Then I lit a fire inside to melt it all!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
You've lost me.
Why did you need to make an igloo...?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
That just made the ice more insulated! It's harder to melt!
Yukkuri Cirno
What are you talking about? Making things is fun! If I'm gonna do something, I might as well enjoy it.
You're not wrong, but...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
All right. I'll give you that, but why are you inside the mini igloo?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
There's no need to melt yourself, too!
Yukkuri Cirno
'Cause a fairy might try to take the Seal Crystal from me. I gotta stay close, ready to get it as soon as the ice melts!
Yukkuri Cirno
I'm the strongest yukkuri, so I gotta protect it until I can give it to you, Yukkuri Red Marisa!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
That kinda makes sense... but it also kinda doesn't. I really don't understand how you think, Yukkuri Cirno!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
That said... I love your determination.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Bounce aside! I'll melt this ice in an instant!
Yukkuri Cirno
Whoa! That fire's way stronger than the one I made! It's melting super quick!
Yukkuri Cirno
Uh-oh... I'm melting... too...
Yukkuri Cirno! Create coldness! Protect yourself!
Yukkuri Cirno
Oh, good idea. STRONGEST Ice-Cold Barrier!
Face-Shaped?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Great, all the ice melted!
Yukkuri Cirno
You almost melted Cirno's house, too! And me!
There's a red thing in the water... What is it?
Yukkuri Cirno
This ain't no Seal Crystal! It's an old, deflated beach ball!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
It just looked like a crystal in the ice. I should've known. There's no way a Seal Crystal would be lying around here...
Well, the last crystal we found here got eaten by a fish.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Seriously?! So there ARE crystals just lying around. Don't tell me it's normal for things to eat them, too...
Yukkuri Cirno
Forget about that. Someone must have thrown this beach ball in the lake! Unforgivable!
Cirno
Hey! You! You're meant to be fishing! Why are you throwing trash into the lake?!
Yukkuri Cirno
Oh, Cirno's yelling at some littering youkai! I'm gonna go help her! Nothing can beat our STRONGEST tag team!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
So you protect the Misty Lake with your master, huh? You sound like a good team.
Yukkuri Cirno
If you litter, you get literally frozen solid! That's the Cirno Lake Rangers rule!
That seems a bit extreme...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Before you start rangering, can I ask you something, Yukkuri Cirno?
Yukkuri Cirno
What?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Do you know where the other yukkuris went? We wanna try and help them, too.
Yukkuri Cirno
Umm, I know where you can find Yukkuri Flan. She said she was going to the Great Youkai Forest.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Why there?! Following the pattern, shouldn't she be at the Scarlet Devil Mansion?!
Here we are... The Great Youkai Forest...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
This is one of the more dangerous places on the Youkai Mountain. It's dark and covered in weirdly shaped trees.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
I've heard that Reimu will give up the chase if the youkai she's after runs into this forest.
Really? That does sound dangerous...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Speaking of dangerous, youkai have surrounded us. They probably think we're easy marks just 'cause we're yukkuris.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Hop back, Yukkuri PLAYER. I'll give 'em a taste of true yukkuri firepower!
Wow, you're super strong, Yukkuri Red Marisa!
Yukkuri Marisa
Heh, I didn't even break a sweat!
Yukkuri Flan
Your bullets looked really fun. You gotta let me join in next time. *nom nom*
It's Yukkuri Flan! She always appears out of nowhere!
Yukkuri Marisa
Just like the Yukkuri Flan in my world. We were looking for you, y'know?
Yukkuri Flan
Why? Wanna battle?
Yukkuri Marisa
Of course not. We heard you were looking for a Seal Crystal around here and wanted to see how you were getting on.
Yukkuri Flan
Oh, right...
So, any luck? Did you find a red Seal Crystal?
Yukkuri Flan
Umm, Flan said she found a round, red, and super precious thing deep in the Great Youkai Forest!
Yukkuri Flan
It was during one of her nighttime flights, and I thought she was talking about a red Seal Crystal!
Yukkuri Flan
This place is pretty dangerous for yukkuris, but I got to eat some yummy food, so I'd call that a win!
I noticed you were eating something. What is it?
Yukkuri Marisa
Forget about the food for a sec. We're going off track. Did you find the crystal Flandre mentioned?
Yukkuri Flan
That's what I'm eating!
Yukkuri Marisa
You're eating a Seal Crystal?! Do they really taste that good?
Yukkuri Flan
Don't be silly. The red thing in this forest wasn't a Seal Crystal.
Yukkuri Flan
It was a red, kinda round, strange-looking apple! I'm eating it right now.
Oh, right, Flan didn't say it was a crystal.
I wonder if she wanted to keep it a surprise.
Yukkuri Flan
Yeah, she might've been planning to give me the apple as a present. But I came here by myself and ate it!
Yukkuri Marisa
A strange apple in the Great Youkai Forest sounds even more dangerous than the Forest of Magic's mushrooms...
Yukkuri Flan
It looked funny―like a scrunched-up face! Actually, it looked kinda like my Yukkuri Remilia doll!
Yukkuri Marisa
It looked like a face...? Sounds like a red flag to me.
Yukkuri Flan
Zzz...
Yukkuri Marisa
Whoa! She suddenly fell asleep! That apple can't have been good for her.
Stop Copying Me!
We got kinda lost, but I think this is the way out.
I can see the Sun, and there aren't as many trees.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Looks like it. Now we just gotta work out what to do with Yukkuri Flan. She's been asleep ever since she ate that apple.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
How long have I gotta carry her?!
I said we should take turns.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Yeah, but with her weighing you down, you won't be able to escape if we get attacked by youkai again.
Yukkuri Flan
Zzzz....
Flandre
Huh? I was right!
Flandre
I thought I saw yukkuris down here, and what do you know, it's Yukkuri Flan!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Huh? Flandre suddenly came down from the sky!
Flandre
She's got apple juice all over her mouth. I'm guessing she fell asleep after having a big meal.
Flandre
She must be pretty heavy for you guys, right? I'll take her home.
Flandre
See you, Yukkuri PLAYER, Yukkuri Marisa.
Flandre
Wait, was that Yukkuri Marisa? She looked kinda different...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
It's crazy how she stumbled upon us way out here. Do Yukkuri Masters have a sixth sense for their yukkuri or something?
She ate an apple, fell asleep, and got rescued.
It was like a fairytale, and Flandre was the prince...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Look at you, getting all poetic.
Hehehe.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
All right, looks like we're down to one last yukkuri―Yukkuri Marisa.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Let's go help her out.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Hey, Marisa.
Yukkuri Marisa
Sup, Marisa.
You headed straight to the Kirisame Magic Shop!
Did you know she'd be here, Yukkuri Red Marisa?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Nah. I just figured it was a safe bet, considering where we found the other yukkuris.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Also, knowing Marisa, her shop seems like the best place to look for a Seal Crystal.
Yukkuri Marisa
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Anyone would think that.
You're on the exact same wavelength...
I guess it's 'cause you're both Yukkuri Marisas.
Yukkuri Marisa
Are we really that alike?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Nah, we're nothing alike. Your hat's black. It's not like mine at all.
Yukkuri Marisa
What's wrong with black? It's your red hat that isn't like mine.
Sounds like everything else is the same...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
So, is there a Seal Crystal buried somewhere under all this stuff?
Yukkuri Marisa
I know exactly where it is. Marisa brought something back after her last tea party with Alice.
Yukkuri Marisa
I saw her put it in this box!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Really? How do you know it's a Seal Crystal? I've gotten kinda suspicious after all the near misses.
Yukkuri Marisa
Even if it's not a Seal Crystal, Marisa went out of her way to hide it, so it's gotta be something good! I can't not borrow it!
You and your "borrowing"... You don't even hesitate.
Yukkuri Marisa
The only problem is that the box is locked. Let's look around for the key.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
How are we meant to find a key among all this? Can I clean everything up with a Master Spark?
Yukkuri Marisa
Stop! Please be more sneaky! I don't wanna get double-banned from my house!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Seriously? You got banned from your house...? What's wrong with this world's Yukkuri Marisa...?
Marisa
I'm back!
Yukkuri Marisa
Uh-oh, it's Marisa. Hide!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
I'll hide under this shelf...
Yukkuri Marisa
Hey, don't hide here! There's not enough space!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
I hid here first! Stop copying me!
Yukkuri Marisa
I'm not! YOU'RE copying ME!
Shhhhh!
Locked Box
Marisa
I'm back... Haha, not that anyone's listening.
Marisa
Actually, I'd better make sure. I don't want Alice surprising me again.
Marisa
No one's here, right? If you're not here, say something.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
She's talking to herself...
Yukkuri Marisa
Maybe she knows we're here and is just pretending...
Marisa
Good. It's all clear.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Oh, she opened the box.
Yukkuri Marisa
So Marisa had the key this whole time. I should've guessed.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
What's the plan? Now that the box is open, this seems like our best chance to borrow the Seal Crystal.
Yukkuri Marisa
Sounds good. Let's borrow it as soon as she takes it out of the box.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Yeah, we're just borrowing it, after all. She won't mind!
(Their "borrowing" habits are definitely similar...)
Marisa
It'd be kinda awkward if Alice saw how much care I've taken in storing it.
Marisa
Then again, it might make her happy.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Stop talking to yourself, and take out the Seal Crystal already! We can't borrow it!
Yukkuri Marisa
I think I've noticed a trend. When Marisa talks to herself, it always seems to be about Alice...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Huh? She pulled out Yukkuri Marisa!
Yukkuri Marisa
How'd she do that? I'm right here. No way... Is that Yukkuri Black Marisa?!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
But isn't that you? You're both dressed in black... Hang on, maybe that's the real Yukkuri Marisa...
Yukkuri Marisa
So we've got Yukkuri Red Marisa, Yukkuri Black Marisa, and the hidden Yukkuri Real Marisa!
No, that's one of the yukkuri dolls Alice made!
I got a good look at those dolls, so I can tell.
Yukkuri Marisa
Oh, right, that makes more sense! It's Yukkuri Doll Marisa!
Yukkuri Marisa
But why did she lock it up in a box?
Marisa
You know, you seem to be having a lot of fun lately playing outside with the other yukkuris.
Yukkuri Marisa
She's talking to me! Did she notice us?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Nah, looks like she's just talking to the doll.
Marisa
Did you stop hanging around here 'cause I kicked you out for battling indoors...?
Marisa
Well, I guess it's fine as long as you're having fun.
Marisa
You've always been by my side, so it feels like something's missing when you're not here...
Marisa
Haha. Even your doll looks happy.
Marisa's petting the Yukkuri Marisa doll!
I wonder if she feels lonely, too...
Yukkuri Marisa
Hey, Marisa.
Marisa
Huh? It's the real Yukkuri Marisa!
Marisa
When did you get back? You haven't broken anything in here again, have you?
Yukkuri Marisa
Nope... Not yet, anyway!
Yukkuri Marisa
I haven't done anything wrong, so you can't double-ban me! Now, pat my head!
Marisa
Oh? Why are you tackling my leg? Did you miss me? Haha.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
...
Back to the Garden
...Yukkuri Red Marisa! Where are you going?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Nowhere. It's just...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
It seems like they were having a moment, and I didn't wanna ruin it for them.
You're getting hot again, aren't you?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Yeah, a little. We've been bouncing around a lot, helping everyone.
Reimu
I'm really glad I made this! It's like the perfect toy to play with yukkuris.
Yukkuri Cirno
Oh, Cirno's yelling at some littering youkai! I'm gonna go help her! Nothing can beat our STRONGEST tag team!
Yukkuri Flan
Yeah, she might've been planning to give me the apple as a present. But I came here by myself and ate it!
Marisa
Oh? Why are you tackling my leg? Did you miss me? Haha.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
I'm gonna head back to the Garden of the Sun.
No! Please don't go, Yukkuri Red Marisa!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Nah, it's not like that. I'm not gonna try and hide away again.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
It's just... I have a Yukkuri Master, too. And maybe... maybe she's waiting for me to return...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
I kinda want some time alone to think about that stuff!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
I'm tired from all the bouncing around, so I think I need a rest. You know how it is, right?
Can I go with you?
I'm also lost, and I don't have a master...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
...I'd like that.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
It's reassuring having someone by your side. Some magicians think magic power comes from bonds like these.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
That's the thing with magicians... we tend to overthink things.
We bounced back to the Garden of the Sun, talking all the way.
Yukkuri Red Marisa came from another Gensokyo. She's all alone, just like me...
I don't feel the same loneliness she does, though. 'Cause, unlike her, I can't remember my Gensokyo.
But that kinda makes me feel sad in a different way. I think my body might be getting a little heated, too...
Yukkuri Alice
Argh! I'm not gonna lose!
Huh? Yukkuri Alice?!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
I didn't think you'd still be here. And what's with the yelling? Aren't you meant to be the calm and collected yukkuri?
Yukkuri Alice
How can I be calm at a time like this?! It's the final battle! I finally found a fairy holding a red Seal Crystal!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Huh? I thought that whole fairy thing was just you jumping to conclusions...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Wait, you're right! That fairy does have a Seal Crystal! It's huge!
Yukkuri Alice
We're in the middle of a battle. But now that you're here, lend me a hand, would you?!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Sounds good. I'm already warmed up―both my body and my magic.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
But I can only lend you a squishy yukkuri cheek!
Yukkuri Alice
...What?
Yukkuri Alice
Wow. Even among us magician yukkuris... you're pretty strong.
Yukkuri Alice
Thanks, Yukkuri Red Marisa!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
You're welcome. And I see that you're not just a cute yukkuri who plays with dolls.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
We make a good team, Yukkuri Alice!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
To think there was a red Seal Crystal here all this time. I guess this means you were right, after all.
Yukkuri Alice
Uh-huh. I was really frustrated with what I thought was a silly mistake. So while I had low hopes, I kept on searching.
Oh, it's your yukkuri yukkuri dolls!
They're so cute and tiny!
Yukkuri Alice
Me and my yukkuri yukkuri dolls split up to search the entire sunflower field.
Yukkuri Alice
We started just after you left.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
You mean you've been searching all day?! I get that your dolls helped, but you must be almost out of magic by now, right?
Yukkuri Alice
Yeah, I was thinking about taking a break soon, but that's when I found a red Seal Crystal just lying there...
Yukkuri Alice
Unfortunately, a strong-looking fairy got to it before me, so I had to chase after her. And that's when you guys showed up.
That reminds me of what Yukkuri Cirno said.
You gotta be careful of fairies around Seal Crystals.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
That would have sucked if you lost it after searching for so long.
Yukkuri Alice
I know, right? You couldn't have gotten back here at a better time. All right, here you go.
Yukkuri Alice
With this, you can go back home to your Gensokyo.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Yeah...
Shrine Office Bragging
Yukkuris
Yuyu, yuyuyu, yu!
Yukkuri Marisa
Yikes! There's quite a lot of us, huh?!
Yukkuri Flan
Hahaha. We're like a whole coven of yukkuris!
Yukkuri Alice
A coven? Is that the right word for a group of yukkuris?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
I like it. We're a coven of squishy cheeks.
Yukkuri Reimu
Good work today, everyone.
You, too, Yukkuri Reimu.
Yukkuri Reimu
It seems you and Yukkuri Red Marisa were particularly busy. I heard you bounced around, helping everyone out.
Yukkuri Cirno
Yeah, I couldn't have melted the ice without their help! Me and Cirno's home also melted a little, but still!
Yukkuri Marisa
It melted? Seriously?
Yukkuri Reimu
We should discuss what we all got up to.
Yukkuri Reimu
Oh, but if you can't wait to go home, Yukkuri Red Marisa, that's fine too.
Yukkuri Marisa
You found a red Seal Crystal, right?
Yukkuri Alice
I found a red Seal Crystal. You can thank my keen eyes and inexhaustible stamina.
Yukkuri Cirno
You look so happy with yourself!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Nah, I'll use the crystal tomorrow. I'm guessing you all wanna rest first and chat about what happened.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
That's why we gathered here.
Yukkuri Reimu
Yeah, let's chat! There's still plenty of time, right?
Yukkuri Reimu
Riiiiiight?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Hm? What's up?
Yukkuri Flan
Ooooh, I get it. What else have you got planned, Yukkuri Reimu?
Yukkuri Reimu
You catch on quick, Yukkuri Flan. Was it that obvious?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
...What is it? I feel completely out of the loop.
Yukkuri Alice
Whatever it is, let's rest first. And while we do that, I can tell you all about how I found the Seal Crystal.
Yukkuri Marisa
You just wanna brag.
Yukkuri Alice
I wouldn't call it bragging. I just wanna talk about how everyone else but me failed.
Yukkuri Marisa
That's even worse!
Haha, this is fun.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Yeah.
We kept chatting long into the night.
I think Yukkuri Red Marisa wants to stay with everyone.
But she also misses her master. She wants to go home.
Either way, she'll have to say goodbye to someone.
I wonder what I'd choose...
What will I do when I have to say goodbye?
I fell asleep, unable to come up with an answer...
Yukkuri Flan
Morning, Yukkuri PLAYER! We've already started.
Yukkuri Reimu
Don't worry. It's only me and Yukkuri Flan that've started. The others are still asleep.
Started what?
Yukkuri Flan
What do you think? With all of us gathered together in the shrine office, there's only one thing to do―arts and crafts!
Yukkuri Reimu
I was thinking we could make something for Yukkuri Red Marisa before she returns to her Gensokyo.
Really? That's a great idea!
Yukkuri Marisa
*yawn* You guys seem to be having fun...
Yukkuri Alice
If you're making something, count me in. I'm even better at making things than finding Seal Crystals.
Yukkuri Marisa
Are you still bragging about that...?
Yukkuri Cirno
I can judge whether it's good or not.
Yukkuri Reimu
You really like doing that, don't you? Probably 'cause it's less work...
Arts and Tackles
Yukkuri Marisa
Take this! AAAAARGH!
Yukkuri Reimu
I'm up next! UOOORGH!
Yukkuri Cirno
My turn! WHOOOOOSH!
Yukkuri Flan
APPLES!
Yukkuri Alice
I guess I gotta do it, too... Fine. AAAAAAAAH!
I'll finish it off.
H-Here goes!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
What are you guys doing? All that screaming woke me up.
Guys! Yukkuri Red Marisa's awake.
Yukkuri Reimu
Good timing. We just finished making your present. Here you go.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
A present? What is it?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Actually, tell me what all that yelling and tackling was about first.
Yukkuri Marisa
It was Yukkuri Reimu's idea. We made you a farewell present.
Yukkuri Marisa
This yukkuri fan!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
A fan?
Yukkuri Alice
You get all hot when you get emotional, right? So we thought we'd make something you could use to cool yourself down.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Did you guys really make this? I thought us yukkuris were too clumsy to make anything...
Yukkuri Reimu
We thought that too, but since Yukkuri PLAYER got here, it's like our inner crafters have awoken. Hehe.
Yukkuri Marisa
We can't really make stuff on our own, but we can if we work together. It's a lot of fun, too.
Yukkuri Flan
Yeah, it's super fun! Almost as fun as breaking stuff!
Yukkuri Cirno
With that fan, you can cool down even if I'm not there to help!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Y-Yeah... I guess I can... Thanks...
Yukkuri Reimu
We also added a more personal touch to help you remember us!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
A personal touch?
Yukkuri Marisa
We all covered ourselves in ink and slammed into it. It was pretty tough aiming for such a small target.
Yukkuri Flan
We made it together, then we broke it a little together! That's why it's so flimsy. Hahaha!
Yukkuri Alice
We would've liked to have written you a message, but yukkuris can't write... or read.
Yukkuri Reimu
Still, you should be able to tell who made which mark, right, Yukkuri Red Marisa?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Yeah... I think so...
Yukkuri Marisa
Try not to lose it, OK? Then again, it's pretty nice, so if Marisa tries to borrow it, you can't really stop her.
Yukkuri Alice
I enjoyed that battle we had against that fairy together. I'll never forget it.
Yukkuri Flan
Oh, I almost forgot! I heard you carried me when I fell asleep in the forest. Thanks! You're really nice!
Yukkuri Marisa
I'm proud to call you a fellow Yukkuri Marisa. I doubt I'd mind if there were a thousand more of us, if they were all like you!
Yukkuri Reimu
Seems everyone had a lot of fun playing with you, Yukkuri Red Marisa.
Yukkuri Reimu
I had fun too. Take care of yourself back in your Gensokyo, OK?!
Yukkuri Reimu
Bye bye!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
*sniff*
Yukkuri Red Marisa
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Burn Away the Tears
Reimu
*yawn* Morning... Huh? No one's here.
Reimu
Yukkuri Reimu was here yesterday. Did she go out somewhere again?
Reimu
I guess she might be playing around the shrine office. She's been playing there a lot lately.
Reimu
Urgh... It's really hot today. I thought the heatwave had passed...
Reimu
I'm going back to sleep...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Yukkuri Marisa
Whoa! What's with this heat?
Yukkuri Flan
It's blowing me away!
Yukkuri Cirno
It's worse than that. I'm melting...
Yukkuri Reimu
Huh? What? Did I just make her cry?! What did I do?
I think it's 'cause... everyone said such nice things...
You made me cry a little, too...
Yukkuri Alice
This is caused by her getting emotional, right? Calm down, Yukkuri Red Marisa! You gotta cool off!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
But! *sniff* But I tried! I wanted to stay calm and cool until the end!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
But you guys... You looked so happy playing with your Yukkuri Masters...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
That made me wanna hurry home... and see my Marisa again...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
But... But that'd mean I'd have to say goodbye. I've had so much fun playing with you guys! I don't wanna leave!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
I tried to keep this bottled up inside! I was gonna use the Seal Crystal and leave without saying anything...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
But...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Then you gave me such a nice present, and I couldn't keep it in anymore! WAAAAAAAH!
Yukkuri Flan
I'm getting blown away again.
Yukkuri Reimu
It's like her yukkuri fan has become some kind of magic fan that blows out hot air.
Yukkuri Cirno
Are you saying we made a magic item?
Yukkuri Alice
No, the fan doesn't have any special powers or anything. Yukkuri Red Marisa is just really, really hot!
Yukkuri Marisa
Yikes... This is worse than when we found her in the Garden of the Sun.
Maybe the heat gets stronger with stronger emotions.
Yukkuri Alice
Or maybe it's 'cause she bottled them up inside.
Yukkuri Alice
Either way, it really is hot... We're gonna get cooked at this rate...
Yukkuri Cirno
STRONGEST Ice-Cold Barrier!
Yukkuri Flan
Wow! Yukkuri Cirno's protecting us with a shield of ice! So cool! You really are the strongest!
Yukkuri Cirno
It might be the strongest barrier, but it won't last that long... please think of something before it melts!
Yukkuri Reimu
All right. There's only one way to deal with trouble...
Yukkuri Reimu
And that's to hit it with my purification rod! We can figure the rest out later!
Yukkuri Marisa
Heh, you never change.
Yukkuri Reimu
It already worked once, so it's bound to work again. Let's stop her rampage.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
*sniff* Th-Thank you! Waaaaaah!
Yukkuri Marisa
Don't get even more emotional!
Yukkuri Marisa
C'mere. We'll cool you down.
Yukkuri Marisa
Oof...
Yukkuri Reimu
Phew, we beat her. And it looks like she's cooled down. Thank goodness.
Yukkuri Marisa
I feel like we hit her a bit hard, but she was so strong that we couldn't really hold back.
Yukkuri Alice
She's unconscious. Let's let her rest.
Yukkuri Cirno
Hey, Yukkuri Red Marisa, are you still feeling kinda hot? Want me to cool you down some more?
Yukkuri Flan
I'll use this to fan you down! Fan-fan-fan-Flan!
The air she's blowing is kinda warm...
Yukkuri Marisa
Yeah, but it sure beats getting cooked alive.
Bye-Bye Yukkuri Red Marisa
Yukkuri Red Marisa
*groan*
Oh, Yukkuri Red Marisa's awake.
Yukkuri Reimu
Morning, sleepy-head. You've already slept in twice this morning.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Morning...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Um... guys... I'm really sorry...
Yukkuri Alice
Don't worry about it. Getting hot is just something that happens to you, right?
Yukkuri Alice
We all end up doing things we don't mean to when we get emotional. It's not like we're dolls.
Yukkuri Flan
Yeah, yukkuris have feelings! We feel happy. We feel scared. And sometimes we feel happy-scared!
Yukkuri Marisa
Me and Yukkuri Reimu also cried when we said goodbye to Yukkuri PLAYER.
Yukkuri Reimu
You also cried last night, 'cause you didn't want Yukkuri Red Marisa to leave. You were trying to hide, but I saw you.
Yukkuri Marisa
I saw you crying for the same reason.
Yukkuri Reimu
Of course I cried! Saying goodbye is sad! Waaaah!
Yukkuri Cirno
Oh, right... Yukkuri Red Marisa is leaving! Waaaah! That's so sad!
Yukkuri Alice
How are you only realizing that now?! But you're right. I was trying to hide it, but... I feel sad too. *sniff*
Yukkuri Marisa
You wanna stay with us, and we don't want you to leave. Are you really gonna go home, Yukkuri Red Marisa?
Yukkuri Red Marisa
...Yeah. I can think straight now, thanks to you guys cooling me down.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
I don't wanna leave you...
Yukkuri Red Marisa
But I also miss Marisa, and I'm sure she misses me too!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
I can't leave her all alone. That's why... I'm going back! I'm gonna use this Seal Crystal!
Yukkuri Marisa
You've found a good reason to go back. I'm happy for you, Yukkuri Red Marisa.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
It must be good if we both think it is! Thanks, Yukkuri Marisa.
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Thanks for everything, you guys! I'll keep the yukkuri fan you gave me safe in my hat!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
Huh? My hat's empty... I was sure I put something in there. Oh well, there's nothing more important to me than this fan!
Yukkuri Red Marisa
You should come see me in my world sometime! I'll introduce you to my Marisa and the other yukkuris!
Yukkuris
See ya!
She's gone...
Yukkuri Marisa
Looks like she got home safely. The Seal Crystal actually worked this time.
Yukkuri Alice
I wonder why it worked with her and not with Yukkuri PLAYER...
Yukkuri Flan
This has been bothering me for a while, but do you think this is what Yukkuri Red Marisa was looking for?
Huh? Isn't that....
Yukkuri Reimu
It's a big blue Seal Crystal! What's it doing here?
Yukkuri Flan
It fell when we hit Yukkuri Red Marisa during our battle.
Yukkuri Flan
It bounced away, so I went and picked it up just now.
Yukkuri Marisa
Now that you mention it, I think I saw something fall to the ground.
Yukkuri Alice
She also said something about her hat being empty just before she left...
Yukkuri Cirno
She must have kept that big Seal Crystal in there.
Yukkuri Reimu
Why didn't she say anything?! We spent all that time looking for a red Seal Crystal when she could've used this to go home.
Yukkuri Flan
But aren't the big ones meant to be extra mysterious? Can you really use it to go to other Gensokyos?
Yukkuri Reimu
Yep. And that's not all. If what Reimu and the others said is true...
Yukkuri Reimu
Big blue Seal Crystals can grant any wish.
Yukkuri Marisa
I think I've heard that too! So does that mean... Yukkuri PLAYER could use it to go back home...?
Yukkuri Alice
If it can grant any wish, we might even be able to use it to turn her back into a human.
Yukkuri Flan
Or I could use it to destroy everything!
Yukkuri Reimu
You don't need a wish to do that! You've got your ability!
???
Are you talking about wishes? You are, aren't you? That's great. Wishes are wonderful!
Is that... a new yukkuri?!
Yukkuri Sanae
You should come to Moriya Shrine! There you can pray for all your wishes to come true!
