Yukkuri Sanae's Here
Yukkuri Sanae
I've heard Hakurei Shrine's been doing really well lately!
Yukkuri Sanae
What's your secret, Yukkuri Reimu?! Please tell me!
Yukkuri Sanae
You were just talking about wishes, right? Are people praying for their wishes to come true? That's what shrines are for!
Yukkuri Reimu
You haven't taken a single breath since you showed up here... Could you stop squishing me?
Wow, it's Yukkuri Sanae.
Yukkuri Sanae
That's me! You must be Yukkuri PLAYER! I've heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you!
Yukkuri Sanae
Were you the one talking about wishes? Oh, but I heard multiple voices...
Yukkuri Sanae
Anyway, if you want your wish to come true, you should come pray at Moriya Shrine!
Yukkuri Reimu
Stop that. Shrine maidens shouldn't be stealing wishes from other shrines. Have you no shame?!
Yukkuri Sanae
But shrines can't survive in this day and age by just waiting around for visitors to show up, Yukkuri Reimu!
Yukkuri Sanae
We have to be more proactive. If we sense a wish, we gotta hunt it down! ...Don't you think?
Yukkuri Marisa
I get what you're saying, but why are you so concerned about people praying for wishes here at Hakurei Shrine?
Yukkuri Marisa
Also, you showed up right after we found a big blue Seal Crystal. Your timing couldn't have been more perfect.
Yukkuri Reimu
I know, right? Have you got some kinda wish sensor?
Yukkuri Sanae
I only heard about the wishes once I got here.
Yukkuri Sanae
I'm actually here with Sanae today...
Sanae
Good morning!
Reimu
*yawn* Morning...
Sanae
I've heard Hakurei Shrine has been doing really well lately!
Sanae
What's your secret, Miss Reimu?! Please tell me!
Reimu
Quiet down, would you? I overslept and I still haven't fully woken up yet...
Sanae
It's you we're talking about, so I bet you came up with another greedy money-making scheme. Am I right?
Reimu
Of course not!
Reimu
How is that your first thought? You shouldn't make weird assumptions like that.
Sanae
But strong thoughts mean strong prayers. That's one of our most valuable powers as shrine maidens.
Reimu
I suppose that's true... But that wasn't what I meant.
Sanae
Then what did you mean?
Reimu
Forget it. I'm fully awake now, so let me answer your first question.
Sanae
Great! Seems I've learned a new shrine maiden power―waking people up!
Reimu
You wanna know why we've been doing so well? It's simple. Cirno's shaved ice was a big hit at the festival.
Reimu
It's been pretty hot lately, right? So everyone wanted a tasty frozen snack to cool themselves down.
Reimu
It was pretty hot this morning, so maybe I should organize another festival for today...
Sanae
What are you talking about? It doesn't feel that hot to me.
Reimu
Huh? You're right. I could've sworn it was scorching hot earlier. That's why I went back to sleep.
Reimu
But it's not hot at all now. Maybe it was a dream. Or a nightmare...
Sanae
I don't think you can call it a nightmare if you're sleeping in the middle of the day, Miss Reimu. That's just being lazy.
Reimu
Yeah, yeah, I'm a lazy shrine maiden. Whatcha gonna do about it?!
Sanae
Actually, I think it's incredible how you can be so lazy and successful at the same time!
Reimu
You meant that as a compliment, didn't you...? In a way, it's worse than Marisa's jibes. I know how to react to them.
The Wish Dispute
Yukkuri Sanae
Sanae should be asking Miss Reimu about the secrets of her success right about now!
Yukkuri Sanae
I was tagging along with her, but I came over here when I sensed your wishes.
Yukkuri Marisa
I see...
Yukkuri Marisa
Wait... So you were serious about the whole sensing wishes thing?
Yukkuri Reimu
Have you really got a wish sensor?! Show me!
Yukkuri Sanae
I'm sure it was just the power of miracles. I cause miracles to happen all the time!
Yukkuri Alice
Is that OK? Like, shouldn't miracles be kinda rare?
Yukkuri Sanae
What's the problem? You guys are always using your abilities.
Yukkuri Cirno
Yeah, I'm always cooling things down.
Yukkuri Flan
I destroy everything!
Yukkuri Marisa
Sounds like there are some abilities that shouldn't be overused. But Cirno's ability was pretty helpful earlier...
Yukkuri Sanae
Why? What happened? There are so many yukkuris here, so I bet it was something fun!
Yukkuri Reimu
A super hot Yukkuri Marisa came here from another world, and we all worked together to send her back home.
Yukkuri Cirno
I used my ability to cool down Yukkuri Red Marisa's heat! Hehe!
Yukkuri Sanae
Wow! I heard about Miss PLAYER at Moriya Shrine, but I didn't realize so much else was going on!
Yukkuri Sanae
You all banded together in a brilliant display of Gensokyo teamwork!
Yukkuri Flan
Yeah, and after we sent her back home, we found this big Seal Crystal. We were talking about what we should wish for.
Yukkuri Sanae
Ooooh, so that's why you were talking about wishes! I hope your wishes come true!
Yukkuri Sanae
But what are you all wishing for? Please tell me. As a yukkuri shrine maiden of a popular shrine, I just gotta know!
Yukkuri Reimu
Did you really have to specify the "popular" part...? I wanna know too!
They're being weirdly competitive about this...
Yukkuri Marisa
It's not like Yukkuri Reimu's wish is much of a mystery. I bet you just want lots of offerings, same as your Yukkuri Master.
Yukkuri Reimu
So what? I bet your wish is the same as your master's, too. You probably want a mountain of mushrooms or something.
Yukkuri Marisa
I don't actually like mushrooms that much. Marisa only wants them to fuel her magic...
Yukkuri Marisa
I'd rather eat pancakes!
Yukkuri Reimu
Oh, then I want rice crackers!
Yukkuri Cirno
I want freezing-cold sushi!
Yukkuri Flan
Apples!
Yukkuri Alice
I'm partial to tea and cookies.
Yukkuri Sanae
Shiitake!
Everyone's just shouting out their favorite foods...
Yukkuri Reimu
Looks like we won't be able to decide on one wish, so I'll take responsibility and wish for a rice cracker.
Yukkuri Alice
No fair.
Yukkuri Sanae
No monopolizing wishes! You're giving us shrine maidens a bad name!
Yukkuri Reimu
Don't worry. I'll wish for a really, really big rice cracker, so we can split it between us.
Yukkuri Alice
Wouldn't it be kinda hard to split such a big rice cracker evenly?
Yukkuri Marisa
Dibs on the biggest piece.
Yukkuri Flan
What if there's only crumbs left?
Yukkuri Marisa
Huh...? You're talking about the rice cracker, right? Right?
Yukkuri Marisa
Please say something before you start firing bullets next time... I really thought you were gonna turn me into crumbs.
Yukkuri Marisa
That was scary. Thanks for stepping in, PLAYER.
Guys, stop fighting over an imaginary rice cracker!
Yukkuri Reimu
Yeah... Fighting over the biggest imaginary piece of an imaginary cracker can only end in sadness.
Yukkuri Alice
Besides, haven't we already decided that we're going to use the wish for PLAYER?
Yukkuri Reimu
Oops! I forgot! I can get pretty distracted when it comes to rice crackers... even if they're imaginary.
BIG Seal Crystal
Yukkuri Alice
We're gonna use this Seal Crystal for PLAYER. We've all agreed on that.
Yukkuri Alice
But you've tried using Seal Crystals before, and it didn't work, right?
Yeah, so I don't exactly have high hopes...
Yukkuri Reimu
But this is a BIG Seal Crystal. It's bound to be different this time. Look how BIG it is!
Yukkuri Alice
I doubt it'd be that simple.
Yukkuri Marisa
But the mushrooms that grow super big off the miasma in the Forest of Magic have super-powerful magic.
Yukkuri Cirno
The extra-large serving of shaved ice that Cirno sold at the festival had a special price! Big means special!
Yukkuri Sanae
Does that mean if we make Moriya Shrine bigger, we'd be able to provide even bigger divine blessings?
Yukkuri Flan
If we made the mansion bigger, there'd be a BIG REMILIA!
Yukkuri Alice
We're getting off track again. I would kinda like to see a big Remilia, though.
Yukkuri Marisa
Anyway, it's a big Seal Crystal, so I'm expecting something big to happen.
Yukkuri Reimu
We just sent Yukkuri Red Marisa back home with a Seal Crystal, so we know they work even if we don't know how.
Yukkuri Marisa
Yeah, I wonder why it worked with her but not with PLAYER? Was it just bad luck?
Yukkuri Marisa
Either way, as a magician, I'm used to looking for solutions through trial and error.
Yukkuri Alice
Me too. And I'm not saying we shouldn't try, it's just...
Yukkuri Reimu
Just what?
Yukkuri Alice
If this big Seal Crystal can grant any wish, do we really wanna use it to send PLAYER back to her world?
Yukkuri Alice
Like, we could wish for her to turn back into a human or for her lost memories to return.
Yukkuri Marisa
Good point! Me, Yukkuri Reimu, and PLAYER actually discussed this very thing back when we first met.
Yukkuri Reimu
What did we decide on again?
Yukkuri Marisa
I'm pretty sure we kept going round in circles, then we started spinning.
Yukkuri Marisa
Round and round.
Yukkuri Reimu
Roundy roundy round.
Haha, good times.
Yukkuri Reimu
And when we stopped spinning, we decided to try sending PLAYER back home!
Yukkuri Marisa
Yeah, 'cause we had no idea how to fix the other stuff, but we knew that Seal Crystals could send people to other worlds.
Yukkuri Sanae
But this big Seal Crystal can grant any wish, right? Looks like you'll have to go round in circles again.
Yukkuri Sanae
Round and round.
Yukkuri Cirno
Roundy roundy round.
Yukkuri Reimu
Why are you guys spinning?! We've already done that bit!
Yukkuri Cirno
It looked fun...
Yukkuri Sanae
Now that we've all had a fun spin, please tell me your wish, Miss PLAYER!
Yukkuri Sanae
As the yukkuri living god of prayers and miracles, I'll make sure it gets granted!
Yukkuri Alice
After spinning pointlessly, she's suddenly taken charge.
Yukkuri Flan
I've seen this before. She plays by her own rules.
Yukkuri Sanae
So, what do you wanna wish for, Miss PLAYER? To return to your world? To become human again?
Y-You're quite pushy...! And really squishy!
Yukkuri Reimu
Didn't you say it'd be good if you could turn back into a human first?
Yukkuri Marisa
That way, you could ask Reimu, Marisa, and other people who aren't yukkuris for help.
Y-Yeah, I did say that...
(But then I wouldn't be able to talk to yukkuris...)
(That'd be really sad.)
Yukkuri Flan
If you wish to go home, will the Seal Crystal send you away, like what happened with Yukkuri Red Marisa?
Yukkuri Cirno
Does that mean we have to say goodbye? I'm not sure I can handle so many sad goodbyes in a row!
Yukkuri Sanae
I don't wanna say goodbye! We only just met!
I know. But that's what will happen...
Yukkuri Marisa
Picking a wish isn't easy, huh? There are infinite possibilities. But there's no need to rush, PLAYER.
Yukkuri Reimu
We can take it easy while you think.
Thanks Yukkuri Reimu, Yukkuri Marisa.
Yukkuri Sanae
All right, I guess we can save the wish until later, but there's another vital decision we have to make.
Yukkuri Sanae
With Miss PLAYER's input, I'm sure we can all agree on it!
Yukkuri Reimu
My yukkuri shrine instincts are telling me I'm not going to like this...
Yukkuri Sanae
There can only be one winner, Yukkuri Reimu! Let's see which shrine gets to grant Miss PLAYER's wish!
Shrine Rivalry
Yukkuri Reimu
Let me get this straight. You wanna decide which shrine gets to grant the wish that we still haven't decided upon?
Yukkuri Sanae
Exactly! You feel the same as me, don't you?
Yukkuri Sanae
Miss PLAYER showing up here is like the first ever yukkuri incident!
Yukkuri Sanae
Nothing like this has ever happened before! Isn't that right?
Yukkuri Reimu
I suppose.
Yukkuri Reimu
Our Yukkuri Masters haven't realized what's going on, so we can't rely on them. We have to resolve this by ourselves.
Yukkuri Sanae
This has gotta be the biggest crisis in yukkuri history!
Yukkuri Sanae
And when everyone hears that Moriya Shrine resolved it, they'll come pray at our shrine for their wishes to come true!
Yukkuri Sanae
Later, Yukkuri Reimu.
Yukkuri Reimu
Hold it! You can't just say "later" and take PLAYER away with you!
Yukkuri Reimu
I've been friends with her longer than you have. I'm gonna grant her wish here at Hakurei Shrine!
Yukkuri Sanae
So?! It's not first-come, first-served!
Yukkuri Reimu
That's exactly what it is! Hakurei Shrine was the first shrine in Gensokyo, so you gotta wait your turn!
They're fighting over me...!
I'm getting squished between squishy yukkuris...
Reimu
Oh, the yukkuris are playing. Are they having a sumo match or something?
Sanae
Hahaha, they're such great friends. Just like us, Reimu.
Reimu
Are we friends? Didn't you just call me a greedy and lazy shrine maiden a second ago?
Reimu! Sanae! I'm so glad you're here!
They're not playing, they're fighting! Please stop them!
Reimu
Hm? It kinda looks like they're arguing about something.
Sanae
You might be right... They keep bouncing into each other.
Sanae
Whoa, they started shooting bullets! They're definitely fighting, Miss Reimu!
Reimu
In that case... Get her, Yukkuri Reimu! Don't you dare lose!
Oh... I did not expect that.
Sanae
You got this, Yukkuri Sanae! Fight for the honor of Moriya Shrine!
Yukkuri Sanae
The stage is set, Yukkuri Reimu.
Yukkuri Reimu
Looks like it. It's time to show you, once and for all, that I'm the strongest yukkuri shrine maiden!
They're talking like it's some kind of epic last battle...
Reimu
Hey! Stop that! The yukkuris shot my stone lantern!
Sanae
Two rivals battling it out in the ruins of Hakurei Shrine! It's like a scene in a movie.
Reimu
Who cares how cool it looks?! You're just saying that 'cause it's not your shrine!
Reimu
You crossed the line when you broke my stuff! No more fighting! This yukkuri battle is over!
Yukkuri Sanae
Shame... Your Yukkuri Master wants us to stop, so let's call it there.
Yukkuri Reimu
What are you talking about? I just beat you fair and square.
Yukkuri Sanae
Who will win in the battle to determine the ultimate yukkuri shrine maiden? Tune in next time to find out!
Yukkuri Reimu
There's nothing to find out! You lost! I won! Stop being such a sore loser, Yukkuri Sanae!
Yukkuri Marisa
It's pretty funny seeing Reimu―both the yukkuri and the master―get so put out by Sanae's antics.
Yukkuri Marisa
Maybe I could use this...
Yukkuri Marisa's up to something...
Sanae
Hmm... I could use this...
Huh? Is Sanae up to something, too?
Yukkuri Workshop
After playing at Hakurei Shrine, the yukkuris all went home. Then we met up again the next day, and the next...
As the days went by, I had plenty of time to think about what I really wanted to wish for.
But that's not all I did. There was no rush, so I also played and chatted with the yukkuris and took plenty of naps.
While I was thinking, Yukkuri Reimu and Yukkuri Marisa had a lot of fun making things in the shrine office...
Yukkuri Reimu
It's a lot easier to make things that we've already made before. I guess even yukkuris can get better through practice.
Is that a new yukkuri offering box?
Yukkuri Reimu
Yep! I'm gonna make lots and leave them in different places.
Yukkuri Reimu
The more offering boxes I have, the more candy I'll get. I might even get some money.
Yukkuri Sanae
That's pretty impressive! I've been making special charms to promote Moriya Shrine.
Yukkuri Reimu
I was wondering what you were doing in the shrine office... Why are you making stuff for Moriya Shrine here?!
Yukkuri Sanae
Why wouldn't I? This is like the perfect place for yukkuri arts and crafts. You've got all the tools.
Yukkuri Sanae
Look, even Yukkuri Marisa is making stuff here.
Yukkuri Reimu
Yeah, but she's not another shrine's yukkuri shrine maiden.
Yukkuri Sanae
You never know. Who's to say there won't be a Kirisame Shrine in the future?
Yukkuri Reimu
Marisa can be sneaky, but she'd never try something like that. Right, Yukkuri Marisa? ...What are you making, anyway?
Yukkuri Marisa
You mean this? Uhh... It's a secret.
Yukkuri Sanae
Wow, talk about suspicious! I bet she's making a vessel for a god by combining her hat with newts and mushrooms!
Yukkuri Reimu
To think I had another rival right under my nose... I gotta pay more attention to what everyone's making.
Yukkuri Cirno
I've been helping everyone with their creations, but I don't really know what we made, either!
Yukkuri Sanae
I really appreciate it, Yukkuri Cirno!
Yukkuri Marisa
So you helped out both shrines without even realizing it...
Yukkuri Cirno
I also acted as the judge, saying whether the thing we made was good or not when we finished.
Even though you didn't know what it was...?
Yukkuri Sanae
That's basically a job in human societies! They get a fancy title and everything!
Yukkuri Marisa
She can be pretty ruthless sometimes, huh?
Yukkuri Reimu
I know, right?! And unlike you, you can't really tell if she means it as a criticism!
So you've all been here making stuff...
What have the other yukkuris been doing?
Yukkuri Marisa
I think Yukkuri Alice is cooped up at home. She might be making something, too.
Yukkuri Reimu
Makes sense. So is Yukkuri Flan in the Scarlet Devil Mansion?
Yukkuri Marisa
No. Last I heard, she ran away from home.
Seriously?!
Yukkuri Reimu
Well, she's been stuck in her room for years, so I kinda get why she'd want to bounce around freely outside.
Yukkuri Marisa
You can see that with how Flandre, her Yukkuri Master, acts, too.
Yukkuri Sanae
Maybe Yukkuri Flan's wish is to do whatever she pleases.
I wish I knew what my wish is...
An Invitation to Chaos
The days turned to weeks, and I still couldn't make up my mind...
Yukkuri Alice
It's been a while since we all gathered together like this.
Yukkuri Marisa
That's 'cause you've been holed up in your house. We've met each other plenty of times here at the shrine office.
Yukkuri Marisa
That said... I'm pretty sure I know what you've been up to.
Yukkuri Alice
Same here... I have a fairly good idea about what you've been making in the shrine office.
Yukkuri Reimu
Yeah, yeah, you both know each other super well. Let's hurry up and start this yukkuri meeting already.
Yukkuri Cirno
Huh? Isn't Yukkuri Sanae coming today?
Yukkuri Reimu
I invited her, so she should be here soon. But I don't see why we should wait for her.
Yukkuri Marisa
Yeah, let's start. There haven't been any events lately, so I doubt any of us has any important info to share.
Yukkuri Reimu
Exactly.
Yukkuri Reimu
So, PLAYER, have you decided what you're gonna wish for? Don't worry, if you haven't. There's no rush.
Yukkuri Reimu
I'm just asking, so we can make a decision about granting it at Hakurei Shrine. We might as well decide that now, right?
Yukkuri Marisa
Unbelievable...! She's trying to make it official while Yukkuri Sanae's not here to oppose her!
Yukkuri Reimu
What do you say, PLAYER? There's no rush. But, you know, I thought I'd ask.
Yukkuri Alice
You're definitely trying to rush her.
Yukkuri Flan
Hahaha, there are so many things to destroy here lately!
Yukkuri Alice
This is turning out to be a pretty eventful meeting. Yukkuri Flan just came rolling in while shooting bullets.
Yukkuri Cirno
Who are you battling, Yukkuri Flan?
Yukkuri Flan
Youkai and fairies that are after the big Seal Crystal. They show up here from time to time.
Yukkuri Reimu
What? Again? They're persistent, huh?
Yukkuri Marisa
I remember fairies tried to take our normal-sized Seal Crystals, too. Maybe that's just what fairies do.
Yukkuri Alice
Youkai can be pretty smart, so maybe they want the big Seal Crystal because they know it can grant wishes.
Yukkuri Reimu
Maybe. Let's just get rid of them first.
(Uh-oh. I didn't consider this...)
Yukkuri Reimu
Phew... There sure were a lot of them. I'm exhausted.
Yukkuri Sanae
Guuuuys!
Yukkuri Cirno
Oh, Yukkuri Sanae's here.
Yukkuri Reimu
Tch! She went and showed up while I was distracted by the battle!
Yukkuri Alice
Why do you sound so annoyed? You invited her, remember?
Yukkuri Marisa
She clicked her tongue. This sad shrine maiden feud has brought out Yukkuri Reimu's dark side...
Yukkuri Sanae
Guys! Guys! I'm here to invite you to a super fun event!
Yukkuri Reimu
Huh? A fun event?
Yukkuri Marisa
Yukkuri Reimu's face just lit up.
Phew... She's back to the good old Yukkuri Reimu...
Yukkuri Sanae
I know you're all here for the meeting, but how about we save that until you see what I've got to show you?
Yukkuri Reimu
I'm going.
Yukkuri Cirno
I love fun!
Yukkuri Flan
I wanna destroy stuff!
Yukkuri Sanae
Then let's goooo! Follow me!
Yukkuris
Yuyu, yuyuyu, yuuuu.
Yukkuri Reimu
Huh? Why are we at Moriya Shrine?
Sanae
What? No way! I just talked about it to my yukkuri, but she actually brought them here!
Sanae
Amazing! Miracles really do exist!
Yukkuri Reimu
What's she so happy about? What's going on, Yukkuri Sanae? Where's the fun event?
Yukkuri Sanae
Let me explain! You, me, and all the other yukkuris are gonna battle here!
Sanae's Plan
Sanae
Hmmm... Getting more followers isn't easy.
Sanae
I took a page from Miss Reimu's book and tried putting on a festival...
Sanae
But the hot days are over, and no one came for the shaved ice I prepared.
Yukkuri Sanae
I think it's great how you're always thinking about how to improve Moriya Shrine, Sanae! You're such a good girl!
Sanae
Yukkuri Sanaeeee! My savior! Even if you can't understand me, just you being there is a real comfort...
Yukkuri Sanae
Yay! I'm glad I can help!
Sanae
*sigh* If only, by some miracle, you could understand what I'm saying.
Sanae
I thought up a super fun and exciting idea the other day. It would definitely bring people to the shrine, but...
Yukkuri Sanae
What? Really? Please share it with me, Sanae!
Yukkuri Sanae
You haven't seemed to realize this yet, but we can understand you! You just can't understand us yukkuris!
Sanae
Yukkuri Sanae's bouncing around. It's like she's cheering me on...
Sanae
Yeah, you're right. I can't give up without even trying!
Sanae
Causing miracles to occur is what I do! I doubt anything will come of it, but I might as well tell you!
Yukkuri Sanae
That's the spirit! I'm all ears!
Sanae
Umm, the thing is, I wanna gather all the yukkuris in one place and have them fight each other.
Yukkuri Sanae
Violence?! Is that your fun and exciting idea?!
Yukkuri Sanae
And that's why I brought you here to Moriya Shrine!
Yukkuri Reimu
R-Right... Thanks for the explanation, but now I've only got more questions...
Yukkuri Alice
Why does she want us to fight?
Yukkuri Sanae
Sanae will explain that!
Sanae
Listen up, yukkuris! I'm gonna tell you the all-important rules!
This feels like the start of a deadly battle royale...
But Sanae would never do something so brutal... Right?
Yukkuri Sanae
No, that's pretty much how she described it to me.
Yukkuri Marisa
We followed you here 'cause you said it was fun, not crazy...
Sanae
I was inspired by seeing the yukkuri fight at Hakurei Shrine the other day.
Sanae
But imagine if that fight was watched by cheering crowds. It'd be so exciting! Everyone would be on the edge of their seat!
Yukkuri Reimu
Now that she mentions it, Reimu and Sanae got really into our little argument, didn't they?
Yukkuri Flan
Is it like making strong pets fight each other? That's a lot of fun!
Yukkuri Alice
That almost makes it sound worse. Maybe if the combatants were golems made with magic...
I suppose that would make it more like a game.
Yukkuri Marisa
You mean a death game! Is she really gonna make us fight?!
Yukkuri Reimu
There's no way I'm agreeing to this!
Sanae
Wow. The yukkuris can't understand me, so I wasn't expecting such a big reaction!
Sanae
But settle down, OK? I still haven't explained the rules.
Yukkuri Reimu
She can't understand our complaints, so she just assumed we liked her idea. What a terrifying shrine maiden...
Sanae
You'll all be fighting over a very special item.
Sanae
Tada! It's a Moriya Shrine charm that Yukkuri Sanae made!
Yukkuri Cirno
I helped Yukkuri Sanae make that at the shrine office! I remember saying it was good!
Sanae
The winner will present it to the shrine as an offering. I just know everyone's gonna love this Yukkuri Battle Royale!
Yukkuri Reimu
Sanae seems really committed to this idea. But it's not like we have any reason to go along with it...
Yukkuri Marisa
Reminds me of the time Marisa tried to make us clean her room. Our best bet is to pretend we can't understand her.
Yukkuri Reimu
Agreed. Let's go home.
Sanae
There's also a prize for the winning yukkuri! This food ticket!
Yukkuri Reimu
Food?
Sanae
You can exchange it for your favorite food at the Human Village!
Yukkuri Reimu
Wow, sign me up! Battle royale, here I come! I'm gonna get me the biggest rice cracker that's ever existed!
Yukkuri Marisa
Nah, that food ticket's getting exchanged for pancakes!
Yukkuri Cirno
Does that mean I can eat as much frozen sushi as I want?
Yukkuri Alice
Do they sell tea and cookies in the Human Village? I guess I'll find out when I win.
Yukkuri Flan
Apples!
Yukkuri Sanae
Shiitake!
Deja vu!
Yukkuri Teams
Yukkuri Sanae
Haha, hearing about the food ticket prize got you all super pumped!
Yukkuri Sanae
I kinda expected that to happen! I'm glad I invited you guys here.
Yukkuri Reimu
Well, it'd be annoying to just do whatever Sanae says, but if there's a prize up for grabs, that changes things.
Yukkuri Cirno
I'm happy just to battle you guys for the charm! It'll be fun! And since I'm the STRONGEST, there's no way I'll lose!
Yukkuri Sanae
By the way, Yukkuri Reimu, I'm thinking of adding my own touch to the competition.
Yukkuri Reimu
Sounds exciting. Please tell.
Yukkuri Sanae
We still haven't decided where we'll grant Yukkuri PLAYER's wish―Moriya Shrine or Hakurei Shrine.
Yukkuri Sanae
So, how about we make it so the winner of the battle royale gets to choose?
Yukkuri Reimu
Interesting. OK. You're on!
Yukkuri Marisa
Ooooh, that sounds fun! But it might work better if we split into two teams.
Yukkuri Marisa
Yukkuri Reimu can lead the Hakurei Shrine team, and Yukkuri Sanae can lead the Moriya Shrine team.
Yukkuri Reimu
Good idea, Yukkuri Marisa. Let's choose teams now.
Yukkuri Marisa
Well, it goes without saying, but I'm on Yukkuri Sanae's team.
Huh? Why not Yukkuri Reimu's?
Yukkuri Marisa
'Cause me and Yukkuri Reimu go way back!
Then why are you joining the opposing team?!
Yukkuri Reimu
Ignore her. She just enjoys being contrary. You're on my team, PLAYER.
Uhh, OK...
I can never tell what Yukkuri Marisa is thinking.
Yukkuri Alice
We're trying to grant PLAYER's wish, so I suppose I should go on the same team as her.
Yukkuri Reimu
Good. It seems not all magicians are contrarians.
Yukkuri Cirno
But now your team has more yukkuris. I'm gonna join Yukkuri Sanae's team to make it even!
Yukkuri Sanae
Thanks for your strong support, Yukkuri Cirno!
Yukkuri Sanae
Now it's me, Yukkuri Marisa, and Yukkuri Cirno versus Yukkuri Reimu, PLAYER, and Yukkuri Alice!
Yukkuri Reimu
What team are you joining, Yukkuri Flan?
Yukkuri Flan
Whaddya mean? Why are we choosing teams?
Yukkuri Marisa
Weren't you listening? We're splitting into two teams to decide who gets to grant PLAYER's wish.
Yukkuri Flan
But I'm gonna use the big Seal Crystal to grant a wish.
Yukkuri Marisa
Huh? What are you talking about...? Haven't we already been over this?
Yukkuri Flan
What don't you understand? I found the big Seal Crystal first, so it's mine. I get to grant the wish.
Yukkuri Alice
Yukkuri Flan's been on a completely different page to us from the start...!
Yukkuri Flan
I'm a bad yukkuri. I run away from home and do whatever I want.
Yukkuri Flan
I'm gonna grant the wish AND win the food ticket! So, I'm taking this charm, too!
Sanae
Well, I tried explaining the rules, but I've got no idea if the yukkuris understood them. I wonder when we can start...
Sanae
Ah! She took the charm! H-Have they started the battle royale already? But I haven't prepared everything yet.
Yukkuri Marisa
Yukkuri Flan's gonna mess everything up. We gotta hurry and take that yukkuri pinwheel off her!
Sanae
Uhh, it looks like they've already started, but let me make it official! The Moriya Shrine Yukkuri Battle Royale begins now!
Sanae
I gotta prepare a stand to show off the charm, and I still haven't told all our followers about the event...
Yukkuri Sanae
Don't panic, Sanae! You can do this!
Sanae
If I knew all the yukkuris would miraculously show up like this, I would've planned ahead!
Elderly Visitor
Sorry to bother you, but it looks like your yukkuris are fighting.
Sanae
Oh, um, it's not a fight! Well, it is, but it's also an event! An event where we watch the yukkuris play and cheer them on.
Elderly Visitor
I see. So it's like cockfighting?
Sanae
Kinda, but it's not as violent. Think of it like a dog race or a sumo match between kids... It's a fun festival event!
Cheerful Visitor
They're so cute, bouncing into each other trying to get the pinwheel!
Sanae
I know, right? And the crazy thing about yukkuris is that, for whatever reason, they can never get hurt.
Sanae
So, we can enjoy their battles without having to worry about them! It's safe for children and the yukkuris!
Yukkuri Reimu
Gimme! That! Charm! I'm gonna be the one who resolves the first-ever yukkuri incident...!
Yukkuri Alice
Having fun seems to be the last thing on her mind.
They don't understand... There's nothing cute about this!
Yukkuri Mind Games
Yukkuri Reimu
Yay! I took it off Yukkuri Flan!
Yukkuri Reimu
Now that I've got this weird charm thing, I can also get the food ticket!
Yukkuri Sanae
It's called a yukkuri pinwheel!
Yukkuri Reimu
Thanks for the clarification, yukkuri of Gensokyo's second-best shrine. It's now Hakurei Shrine's yukkuri pinwheel!
Yukkuri Alice
She's trying to establish a shrine pecking order again. Don't get ahead of yourself, Yukkuri Reimu.
Yukkuri Reimu
Huh? Where'd it go?!
Yukkuri Marisa
Hahaha! I'll be borrowing that. Which shrine is second best now?
Yukkuri Reimu
You snuck up on me! No fair! You call yourself a magician, but you're definitely a thief!
Yukkuri Marisa
Oof. That's harsh!
Yukkuri Marisa
But you've only got yourself to blame. Seeing how long we've known each other, you should've known I'd try that.
Yukkuri Alice
Oh? Did you really think a team with me and Yukkuri Reimu on it wouldn't account for your bad habits?
Yukkuri Marisa
What do you mean? ...Why are you so calm?
Yukkuri Marisa
Ah! This pinwheel looks kinda different! It looks better made... Are you telling me it's a fake?
Yukkuri Alice
Uh-huh. I knew you were gonna try to steal it, so I switched the real yukkuri pinwheel out with that fake one.
Yukkuri Alice
I got it ready without anyone noticing while Yukkuri Reimu was battling Yukkuri Flan.
Yukkuri Marisa
Seriously? Where'd you find the time to make a fake pinwheel?
Yukkuri Sanae
I can answer that, Yukkuri Marisa. She didn't make a charm that looks like our yukkuri pinwheel... She bought it.
Yukkuri Marisa
Bought? You mean here at Moriya Shrine?
Sanae
Get your wind priestess merch! On sale now! You've seen the yukkuris fighting over a pinwheel, so why not get your own?!
Yukkuri Marisa
She's using our battles to turn a profit!
Sanae
Huh?! I'm sure I had more than this. I don't get it. They disappeared right when I was about to sell them.
Yukkuri Alice
Good, Sanae's distracted. It's time to enact the next phase of our plan! Fly free, fake yukkuri pinwheels!
Sanae
Huh? My charms are flying all over the place!
Yukkuri Alice
Now, you can't tell which is the real one to "borrow."
Yukkuri Reimu
How do you like that, Yukkuri Marisa?! We knew you'd try to swipe it off us, and we planned accordingly!
Yukkuri Sanae
I get that you want to keep lording this over Yukkuri Marisa, but look! We gotta do something about that first!
Yukkuri Reimu
About what?
Yukkuri Flan
I've got no idea which pinwheel I need, so I guess I'll just destroy 'em all. Then we can start over again.
Yukkuri Alice
She made up her own rules and started shooting bullets everywhere!
Yukkuri Marisa
Looking at Flan, my borrowing doesn't seem so bad, huh?
Yukkuri Reimu
You don't have to sound so impressed. C'mon, we gotta protect the yukkuri pinwheels!
Destroying them all won't solve anything...
Yukkuri Reimu
Phew, we protected them. But I lost track of the real one in all that chaos.
Yukkuri Sanae
As I was collecting the fake yukkuri pinwheels, I happened upon the real one! It's a miracle!
Yukkuri Marisa
Whoa! Nice one, Yukkuri Sanae!
Yukkuri Reimu
You can't chalk everything up to miracles. You just got lucky!
Yukkuri Sanae
Look, Yukkuri Cirno! We got the charm!
Yukkuri Cirno
Ah, slow down! I made the ground here all icy...
Yukkuri Sanae
Eeeep! I'm slipping! Wh-Why'd you do thaaaaaaat?!
Yukkuri Marisa
I asked her to. I thought we could use the battlefield to our advantage―Whoaaaa!
Yukkuri Alice
Heh, you fell for your own trap. Hilarious. But thanks for dropping the yukkuri pinwheel. I'll―
Yukkuri Reimu
Get outta the way, Yukkuri Alice! I can't stop myself!
Yukkuri Alice
Eeep! Yukkuris are sliding everywhere!
Yukkuri Flan
I'll blast you all away with my super slidey spin!
It's like everyone's playing curling with their faces...
Yukkuri Flan Strikes Again
Sanae
Huh? The ground looks super slippery. Yukkuri Cirno must've done something...
Sanae
But the crowd seems to really enjoy watching the yukkuris slip and slide into each other. It's going as well as I had hoped!
Is this going well?
I guess it does look pretty fun...
Sanae
But the slippery ground is dangerous, and it wouldn't be a good look if I fell flat on my face. Guess I'll fly for a bit.
Yukkuri Flan
Oh, right. I forgot we can fly. I'm gonna copy Sanae.
Yukkuri Flan
Yippee! I got the pinwheel while everyone was slipping around. Now, I just gotta escape with it!
Yukkuri Reimu
Ah, stop right there, Yukkuri Flan! I'm a master of playing tag in the air! You can't escape me!
Yukkuri Marisa
I should've realized we could fly earlier. Still, I can catch you now that I've cranked my magician's broom up to the max.
Yukkuri Flan
Umm, Yukkuri Reimu, Yukkuri Marisa?
Yukkuri Reimu
What? Don't think you can talk your way out of this. That pinwheel is mine.
Yukkuri Flan
What kind of place is Moriya Shrine?
Asking them a question like that can only end one way!
Yukkuri Reimu
I'm Yukkuri Reimu.
Yukkuri Marisa
And I'm Yukkuri Marisa. Today, we'll tell you all you need to know about Moriya Shrine.
I knew it! They started another Yukkuri Commentary!
Yukkuri Reimu
I think the most important thing about Moriya Shrine is that it came after Hakurei Shrine. Hakurei Shrine was here first.
Yukkuri Marisa
The shrine and its gods came to Gensokyo not that long ago, 'cause they couldn't gather enough faith in the outside world.
Yukkuri Marisa
The shrine has two gods, Kanako and Suwako. But the shrine's wind priestess, Sanae, is also a living god.
Yukkuri Reimu
Aren't they here today? Whenever I see those two gods, they're almost always with Sanae.
Yukkuri Marisa
Guess they're out somewhere.
Sanae
I came up with this event, hoping to surprise Lady Kanako and Lady Suwako when they got back from their errand...
Sanae
But it's not going to plan! The yukkuris suddenly started fighting, and now the ground's frozen! They're gonna be mad!
Yukkuri Reimu
Good timing. Perhaps the gods left on their errand, knowing Sanae would try something like this.
Yukkuri Marisa
I'm guessing she suddenly started talking to herself when we needed an explanation due to her ability to cause miracles.
Yukkuri Reimu
How does it work? Do only wind priestesses get that ability? And what's the difference between them and shrine maidens?
Yukkuri Marisa
I heard they're pretty much the same thing. But Sanae has transcended her position as a wind priestess to become a god.
Yukkuri Reimu
As a god, she gathers faith directly, and she really cares about the success of her shrine, unlike a lazy shrine maiden I know!
Yukkuri Marisa
Yeah, they even went so far as to build an aerial tramway so people could easily access Moriya Shrine.
Yukkuri Sanae
Speaking of the tramway, Yukkuri Flan just flew over there!
This isn't the time to be explaining stuff, you two!
Yukkuri Reimu
Oops! Y-You're right! It's just when we visit a new place, I gotta get the Yukkuri Commentary out of my system...
Yukkuri Marisa
Let's form a temporary alliance, Yukkuri Reimu! Looks like we'll have to fight our way there.
Yukkuri Cirno
Huh? I thought we were chasing Yukkuri Flan, but all we fought were youkai and phantoms. Where'd she go?
Yukkuri Alice
Seems she provoked all the youkai, fairies, and spirits as she flew past, so they'd get in our way while she gave us the slip.
Yukkuri Cirno
Wow, she can do that?! Now that I think about it, she had a bunch of fairies following her when we met at the Misty Lake.
Yukkuri Marisa
Flan's good at causing trouble AND causing trouble to follow her about.
Yukkuri Flan
Hahaha! This is so much FUN!
Sanae
Wh-What?! Yukkuriiiiis! Please come back!
Sanae
The plan was to entertain the visitors at the shrine! There's no audience over by the aerial tramway!
Sanae
I still think my idea to hold a yukkuri event was a good one, but I underestimated how hard they were to control...
Yukkuri Damage Report
Sakuya
*sigh* The yukkuris were at it again. They're such a headache.
Koakuma
Did you make sure to lock the door? It'd be bad if yukkuris barged in on our meeting!
Meiling
Leave it to me! As the gatekeeper, I'll guard any entrance or exit.
Patchouli
No offense, but you don't have the best record as a gatekeeper. That's why I asked Koakuma to double-check.
Remilia
We were careful, so I doubt any yukkuris will find their way in here. Now, let's start our most elegant and noble...
Remilia
Yukkuri Damage Report Meeting!
Patchouli
I feel like a broken record, but I have to report on the state of the library again. Yukkuri Patchouli almost ruined everything...
Sakuya
Are you talking about how I stopped her from spilling a full cup of tea in the nick of time? Or did something else happen?
Patchouli
I was organizing the bookshelves when she started moving the books around at random. I think she was trying to copy me.
Koakuma
Thankfully, it wasn't that big of an issue since I helped put them back in order. But while we were focused on that...
Koakuma
Yukkuri Koakuma was playing around with my neckties and creating a mess in my closet!
Sakuya
That's what happens if you don't keep an eye on them. The other day, Yukkuri Sakuya almost broke my favorite tea set.
Sakuya
She takes after me, so she seems more sensible than other yukkuris, but, essentially, she still acts like a cat or a dog.
Remilia
You're right... Yukkuris are dangerous. You never know what they'll get up to next!
Remilia
And just like cunning pets, they think their cute form will let them get away with anything!
Meiling
That's yukkuris for you! Seeing Yukkuri Meiling sleeping in front of the gate made me so sleepy that I had to take a nap!
Koakuma
But since they're yukkuris... you end up forgiving them.
Patchouli
They're dangerous... Really dangerous.
Flandre
Umm, why aren't we allowed to bring yukkuris to this meeting again?
Remilia
Because those round things would go "Yuyuyu" all the time, and it would be distracting.
Patchouli
Also, it would be awkward if they hear the reports about them. We can't understand them, but we can see their expressions.
Koakuma
I couldn't give a damage report if Yukkuri Koakuma was crying next to me! I'd have to give her a hug!
Flandre
Everyone really loves yukkuris, huh? But have you heard what Yukkuri Flan did?
Flandre
She destroyed Patchouli's books, Koakuma's neckties, and Sakuya's tea set!
Koakuma
What?
Patchouli
...When did that happen?
Flandre
Not that long ago.
Flandre
You love destroying things, don't you, Yukkuri Flan? You're just like me!
Yukkuri Flan
Yeah! I love it!
Flandre
Then you can destroy these if you like. I found some books, neckties, and a tea set that were about to get destroyed.
Yukkuri Flan
Yippee!
Sakuya
So even though we protected them from our yukkuris, Yukkuri Flan went and ruined it all...
Patchouli
This is no laughing matter. She must be taught a lesson so she never does it again.
Flandre
She must've sensed that she might get a telling off, 'cause she left the mansion after destroying the gate a little.
Koakuma
You mean she ran away?!
Meiling
I noticed a bite mark on the gate. So that's what that was...
Sakuya
So much for guarding any entrance or exit.
Remilia
Calm down, everyone. It was just a yukkuri playing around. There's no need to raise a fuss.
Remilia
We should be calm and composed like Flan. As Yukkuri Masters, it is only proper that we forgive their mistakes.
Patchouli
Huh... I expected you to lose it and order Sakuya to chase her down.
Koakuma
That was so cool!
Sakuya
A magnanimous decision, Lady Remilia. And thank you for your report, Lady Flandre.
Sakuya
However, I think you should know that the tea set Yukkuri Flan broke... was also your favorite tea set.
Remilia
...Sakuya! We're going out!
Sakuya
Understood.
Tramway Trouble
Yukkuri Flan
Yippee! It's a ropeway. These hanging boxes make moving through the air so much easier.
Sightseeing Child
Daddy, there's a face flying about outside. It landed on top of the cabin.
Sightseeing Parent
A face? Are you sure it wasn't a fairy?
Yukkuri Sanae
I found Yukkuri Flan! She's resting atop a moving cabin!
Yukkuri Cirno
All right! Let's try to get to her while balancing on this rope!
Yukkuri Sanae
Ooh, that sounds fun! I never thought about playing on the aerial tramway before!
Yukkuri Cirno
I know, right? It's gonna be super fun! I wonder if I could slide down the rope if I froze it.
Yukkuri Alice
Looks like Team Moriya Shrine got infected by Yukkuri Flan's love of chaos. They've started playing.
Yukkuri Alice
This is our chance to snatch the lead, Yukkuri Reimu.
Yukkuri Reimu
Hey, Yukkuri Marisa. What exactly is the aerial tramway? I don't know much about it.
Yukkuri Marisa
Before the tramway, it was dangerous for humans to visit Moriya Shrine because it's so high up on the Youkai Mountain.
Yukkuri Marisa
The folks of Moriya Shrine made it with their knowledge of outside world technology, and―
Uh-oh! They've started explaining stuff again!
Yukkuri Alice
Everyone's off doing their own thing. But I guess it's good for us that Yukkuri Marisa is trapped in her explanation mode.
Yukkuri Sanae
Most yukkuris can't resist playing when they see something fun...
Oh, Yukkuri Sanae's still here.
Yukkuri Alice
You look sad... haunted, even. It's like you're determined to fulfill your duty even if that means you don't get to play.
Yukkuri Sanae
You say that, Yukkuri Alice, but I can tell you feel the same way.
Not playing or explaining stuff...
Must be a really big deal for yukkuris.
Yukkuri Sanae
C'mon! I know we're on opposing teams, but...
Yukkuri Alice
But we know the same sadness. Let's do what we have to do...
Yukkuri Sanae
Woohoo! I finally got the pinwheel! It was worth fighting against the overwhelming temptation to play!
Yukkuri Alice
Not so fast. I'm gonna use my yukkuri yukkuri dolls...
Yukkuri Flan
No fair! Give it back! It's mine!
Sanae
Yukkuriiiiiis! Please, stop! Let's start over!
Whoa, did those bullets come from the actual Sanae?
Sanae
The battle royale is just as exciting as I hoped, and I'm glad you're enjoying it...
Sanae
But if you battle over here, all the people who came to the shrine won't be able to see it!
Sanae
It's also kinda dangerous if you just do whatever you want outside the venue I prepared...
Marisa
Stop trying to spoil their fun, Sanae. I think it's pretty entertaining to watch as is.
Sanae
M-Miss Marisa? When did you get here?
Marisa
I heard about the event as I was flying about, so I stopped by to watch the battle here with the visitors to your shrine.
Marisa
Rumors are already spreading, you know? People keep saying Moriya Shrine is making yukkuris fight to the death...
Sanae
How did that become a rumor?! That's not what we're doing! I swear! It's just a battle royale!
Marisa
I know. If it wasn't, I would've already stepped in to stop it. It's a fun event, so you should let it play out.
Sanae
But if they keep battling here, nobody will be able to see it...
Marisa
I can see it. Flying up here gave me the best view I could hope for.
Sanae
Most people can't fly!
Yukkuri Marisa
Seems we're starting over 'cause someone had to butt in.
Yukkuri Sanae
Sorry. Please let me apologize for Sanae...
Yukkuri Reimu
Sounded to me like it was Marisa who interfered with Sanae's event.
Yukkuri Marisa
Yeah, I suppose. Marisa's good at that.
Yukkuri Alice
It's the dichotomy of yukkuris. One's apologizing for their Master and the other looks super proud...
Yukkuri Cirno
It's kinda noisy down below. There's a bunch of people looking at us while lining up for the tramway.
Yukkuri Sanae
Looks like our battle attracted some visitors! Everyone! Please come up to the shrine!
Yukkuri Reimu
I didn't mean to draw such a big crowd to Moriya Shrine! Reimu! Come quick! And bring the offering box!
Wow, you're really trying to make the most of this!
Yukkuri Switcheroo
Sanae
C'mon, yukkuris. This way. Please follow me back to the shrine.
Sanae
I've got the charm and the food ticket. So even if they can't understand what I'm saying, they should still follow me.
Yukkuri Reimu
We're doing exactly as she says, so you'd think she'd realize we can understand her by now.
Yukkuri Alice
One of us completely ignores her and breaks all the rules, so you can't really blame her...
Yukkuri Sanae
I bet she thinks we're the same as the birds and small animals that can sometimes miraculously understand what she says.
Yukkuri Marisa
That's a pretty minor miracle, but it seems fitting for a living god.
Yukkuri Reimu
Reimu only ever yells at birds to complain about how cleaning up their feathers and poop is annoying.
It's probably a good thing they can't understand her...
Yukkuri Marisa
Sorry to interrupt, but since we're not battling at the moment, is it OK if I change teams?
Yukkuri Marisa
Doing the Yukkuri Commentary with Yukkuri Reimu was super fun, so I'm gonna join Team Hakurei Shrine.
Yukkuri Reimu
That's really nice to hear! We do make a great commentary duo, don't we?
Yukkuri Marisa
Yeah, and to keep the teams even, I was thinking PLAYER could join Team Moriya Shrine.
Huh? Me?
Yukkuri Sanae
REALLY?! I'd love that! There's so much I want to talk to you about!
Yukkuri Sanae
You came from the outside world, right? How much do you remember? Do you like games? Boiled shiitake or fried?
Yukkuri Reimu
Hold on! Stop talking like this has already been decided! Why would PLAYER join Team Moriya Shrine?!
Yukkuri Marisa
'Cause she still doesn't know much about Moriya Shrine or Yukkuri Sanae.
Yukkuri Marisa
It's her wish, but at this rate, the decision about which shrine will grant it will be made for her.
Yukkuri Alice
Makes sense. To choose a shrine, she has to learn about them first.
Yukkuri Flan
But I'm gonna defeat both teams and grant the wish!
Yukkuri Reimu
I forgot about that... Yukkuri Flan, give it a rest already―
Yukkuri Marisa
Let's decide while they're having fun arguing. So, PLAYER, what do you think?
I think it's a good idea...
I wanna hear what Yukkuri Sanae has to say.
Yukkuri Sanae
Welcome to Moriya Shrine! A shrine that listens to all your prayers and problems!
Yukkuri Alice
Looks like PLAYER changed teams while you were arguing with Yukkuri Flan. Is that OK with you, Yukkuri Reimu?
Yukkuri Reimu
It's fine. I agree with what Yukkuri Marisa said. It's better if PLAYER decides these things for herself.
Yukkuri Reimu
That's super important, and I shouldn't get in her way.
Sanae
Is everyone ready?! I'm gonna restart the Yukkuri Battle Royale!
Sanae
All right. I'm letting go of the charm... Whoa! The wind's really strong!
Yukkuri Sanae
The wind blew the yukkuri pinwheel to us! What great timing!
It's another minor miracle!
Yukkuri Reimu
That's no miracle! Sanae and Yukkuri Sanae are obviously working together. Moriya Shrine is a shrine full of cheaters!
Yukkuri Marisa
Yeah, even I think that was sus. Did she move us back here and restart the match just to do that?
Yukkuri Alice
She used all her powers as a wind priestess...
Yukkuri Sanae
The new Team Hakurei Shrine is just saying whatever they please!
Sanae
Argh! What was with that sudden gust of wind?! It blew away the charm, causing it to land right in front of Yukkuri Sanae.
Sanae
This makes it look like I'm playing favorites!
Marisa
Sorry. That was us. I couldn't not invite Reimu to such a crazy event, and we flew hard to get here as fast as we could.
Reimu
Yeah, we must've kicked up that wind as we landed. I hear you've put on a pretty fun event, Sanae.
Sanae
Oh no... You just had to go and invite Miss Reimu... I purposefully didn't tell her about it in case it all went wrong...
Marisa
Haha, things going wrong can be fun, too! So? What'd I miss? Did Yukkuri Sanae get the charm they were fighting over?
Reimu
Yukkuri Sanae? I don't see her.
Sanae
Huh? You're right. Did she bounce away while I was distracted? I don't see Yukkuri PLAYER either...
Hide and Help
Yukkuri Sanae
Haha, everyone's looking for us, Miss PLAYER. Our plan is working.
Yukkuri Sanae
I'm a Moriya Shrine yukkuri, so we've got the home-field advantage. I know all the good hidey spots.
Yukkuri Sanae
The stand where we have to place the yukkuri pinwheel as an offering isn't far. We just gotta take it slow and sneaky!
Shhhh. They'll find us if you shout, Yukkuri Sanae.
Yukkuri Sanae
S-Sorry. I'll try to keep it down...
Yukkuri Sanae
We were lucky to get the yukkuri pinwheel. So it'd be a shame to waste that luck by getting found immediately.
Yukkuri Cirno
I don't see them anywhere. Where'd they go? Are they lost?
Yukkuri Reimu
I doubt they're lost.
Yukkuri Reimu
Then again... We're at a shrine, and people often get spirited away at shrines.
Yukkuri Alice
Should a yukkuri shrine maiden really be saying such things? And why are you so scared? There's no way that happened.
Yukkuri Sanae
They're still bouncing around here chatting... Let's wait until they leave.
Yukkuri Sanae
Once the path to the stand opens up, we'll sneak a bit closer, then dash out to place the yukkuri pinwheel.
You mean that weird stand over there?
It's decorated with some bells and a big ball.
Yukkuri Sanae
This event was a real spur-of-the-moment thing, so Sanae had to rush to put the offering stand together.
Yukkuri Sanae
I think the ball is meant to represent a kusutama, and she probably just put the bells there 'cause it's fun to ring them.
They're like decorations for a kid's birthday party...
Yukkuri Sanae
Yeah, it has the exact same vibe! Oh, that reminds me. You said you lost your memories...
Yukkuri Sanae
But you still remember stuff about the outside world from before you came to this Gensokyo, don't you?
Uh-huh. I can't remember the details...
But I'm pretty sure I lived a normal life before all this.
Yukkuri Sanae
You and Sanae have that in common. She used to live as an ordinary, modern-day girl.
Yukkuri Sanae
That's how I know about the decorations used for kids' birthday parties.
Right. If I said that to Reimu, she wouldn't understand.
They probably don't celebrate birthdays like that here.
Yukkuri Sanae
Exactly! The same goes for things like TV and emails! Hardly anyone here will know what you're talking about!
Yukkuri Sanae
It feels like ages since I last got to chat with a yukkuri about stuff like this! We should talk more often!
Yeah, it's a lot of fun!
But... we're hiding, so let's try and whisper.
Yukkuri Sanae
Oops. I got a bit too excited...! Quiet. Gotta stay quiet and hidden...
Don't worry. I doubt anyone will find us in this bush.
Yukkuri Sanae
Yeah, these bushes are close to the shrine, but not too close. I know about 'em 'cause I'm a wind priestess here.
Yukkuri Sanae
They're great hiding spots, but they can be a bit dangerous since youkai sometimes hide here, too... Oh!
What's wrong?
Yukkuri Sanae
There are youkai hiding next to us! They must be planning to play a prank on the visitors to the shrine!
Oh no! What do we do?
Should we go get help?
Yukkuri Sanae
If we do that, we might lose sight of them! We'll have to handle this on our own. Are you with me?
OK! You can count on me!
Yukkuri Sanae
Yukkuris aren't cut out for battling mischievous youkai... I'm exhausted....
Yukkuri Sanae!
Yukkuri Flan
Are you OK? You put yourself between their bullets and the humans.
Yukkuri Sanae
It's my duty to protect the visitors to Moriya Shrine. Thanks for helping out, Yukkuri Flan.
Yukkuri Flan
Yeah, I saw you were struggling, so I saved you!
Yukkuri Flan
But since I'm a bad yukkuri, not a good yukkuri like you...
Yukkuri Flan
I'm gonna use this chance to take the yukkuri pinwheel and run away! Kyahahaha!
She took the charm!
And Yukkuri Sanae's down for the count! What do I do?!
Yukkuri Sanae
Don't worry about me, Miss PLAYER! You can't let Yukkuri Flan get away...
Yukkuri Sanae
We... have to... win!
OK! H-Hang tight! I'll try and get it back by myself!
Yukkuri Flan on the Loose
Yukkuri Flan
I'm pretty sure Sanae told us to fight in the shrine, but who cares about that? Rules are made to be destroyed.
Yukkuri Flan
I'm gonna head deep into the forest.
Wait up, Yukkuri Flan!
Yukkuri Flan
Hahaha, you're too slow, PLAYER. It won't end well if you lose sight of me.
Yukkuri Flan
No one knows you're here chasing after me, right?
Right, we were hiding just before this...
If I go missing, no one will know where to look for me!
Yukkuri Flan
I've never tried it before, but I'm a yukkuri vampire, so maybe I should transform into mist to escape.
Please don't! Then I'll definitely lose sight of you.
You're so free, Yukkuri Flan. Doing whatever you like...
Yukkuri Flan
No, it's more like the others are holding back. We're yukkuris, so of course we should do as we please.
Yukkuri Flan
I'm sure they're also bad yukkuris who don't know the consequences of wishes.
I don't understand.
What are you thinking, Yukkuri Flan?
Yukkuri Flan
I could ask you the same thing. Everyone gave you that big Seal Crystal...
Yukkuri Flan
But do you really want your wish to come true?
Uhh...
Yukkuri Flan
Uh-oh. Someone caught up to us while we were chatting.
Who?
Yukkuri Reimu
Where did Yukkuri Sanae and PLAYER go?!
Yukkuri Reimu
What was the point of restarting the battle in the shrine if everyone was just going to bounce off again?!
Yukkuri Cirno
I'm smart, so I can tell you want me, the STRONGEST yukkuri, to go all out.
Yukkuri Cirno
I was holding back 'cause I didn't wanna cause trouble for my teammates!
Yukkuri Cirno
But Yukkuri Sanae and PLAYER are hiding, so now I can defeat Team Hakurei Shrine all by myself!
Yukkuri Reimu
All right! Give me your best shot!
Yukkuri Cirno
Take this! Yukkuri neeeeeeeeeet!
Yukkuri Marisa
So that's what you meant by going all out...
Yukkuri Alice
It didn't even reach us.
Yukkuri Reimu
This doesn't feel like a battle royale at all! It's us three versus one.
Yukkuri Marisa
I guess I'll make it even by joining Team Moriya Shrine again.
Yukkuri Alice
You're way too quick to change teams...
Reimu
Go! Get 'em! Yukkuri Sanae's not here, so at least get Yukkuri Marisa!
Sanae
It's nice seeing everyone cheer on their favorite yukkuris. They're really getting into it. It makes me feel all warm inside.
Marisa
You think? Reimu seems a bit TOO into it if you ask me. I guess it is pretty fun, though...
Flandre
Hey, I'm looking for Yukkuri Flan. Have you seen her?
Reimu
Oh, hi, Flandre. Yukkuri Flan was here just a second ago...
Marisa
She must've gone off somewhere with Yukkuri Sanae and Yukkuri PLAYER.
Flandre
Shame. We heard the yukkuris were gathered here, so we thought Yukkuri Flan would be here too.
Remilia
Wherever she's gone, we'll find her!
Sanae
Wow, Miss Remilia's here too.
Remilia
I plan to catch Yukkuri Flan myself, so I came prepared, covered from head to the tips of my wings in sunscreen.
Flandre
You had to get Sakuya to rub it all in, though.
Remilia
She helped you, too.
Marisa
Wow, you're really going all out. Too bad she's not here.
Remilia
It's fine. I'm determined to catch her myself, but I don't mind if someone finds her for me.
Remilia
And who better to find a yukkuri than―
???
There you are, Yukkuri Flan.
It's Yukkuri Remilia!
Yukkuri Sisters
Yukkuri Flan
Wow, it's Remilia! The yukkuri version!
Yukkuri Remilia
Settle down, Yukkuri Flan.
Yukkuri Flan
It's the real Yukkuri Remilia, not my Yukkuri Remilia Doll!
Yukkuri Remilia
What's that?
Yay! I finally get to meet both yukkuri Scarlet sisters!
Yukkuri Remilia
Hmm... You're Yukkuri PLAYER, aren't you? I've heard a lot about you.
Yukkuri Remilia
I'd love to chat with you sometime, but today, I'm here for my sister, Yukkuri Flan.
Yukkuri Flan
You wanna chat with me?
Yukkuri Remilia
Remilia, my Yukkuri Master, is looking for you. Along with Flan, your Yukkuri Master.
Yukkuri Remilia
I heard you broke a bunch of things in the mansion. Remilia got so mad she flew outside to scold you.
Yukkuri Flan
Huh...
Yukkuri Flan
But I always destroy things. That's what I do! I don't care if she's mad at me.
Yukkuri Flan
Bad yukkuris do bad things. There's nothing bad about that!
Yukkuri Remilia
Stop pretending, Yukkuri Flan. You know you shouldn't have done that.
Yukkuri Remilia
You felt guilty, and you expected someone would give you a telling off. If you didn't, you wouldn't have run away.
Yukkuri Flan
N-Nuh-uh....
Yukkuri Remilia
Don't lie.
Yukkuri Remilia
Listen. We've known each other forever, so I understand that you enjoy breaking things. It's part of who you are.
Yukkuri Remilia
But it's not like you to make excuses and lie to yourself.
Yukkuri Remilia
If Remilia gets extra angry, I'll apologize with you, OK? So let's head back.
Yukkuri Flan
*sniff*
Yukkuri Flan
Yukkuri Remilia!
Yukkuri Remilia
There, there.
*sniff* That was really touching...
Yukkuri Remilia
By the way, why were you chasing each other before? Were you having some kind of argument?
No, umm, it's kinda hard to explain...
Yukkuri Remilia
Moriya Shrine's hosting a Yukkuri Battle Royale? That sounds really fun!
Yukkuri Remilia
But that turned into a battle over who gets to use the big Seal Crystal, and it got chaotic when Yukkuri Flan ran away with it.
Yukkuri Remilia
Yukkuri Flan... Is this another thing I should help you apologize for?
Yukkuri Flan
Uhh... Maybe... I know I shouldn't have done that.
Yukkuri Flan
But I don't want to apologize. I wanna keep the Seal Crystal for myself!
Yukkuri Flan
Don't you get it? If PLAYER uses the Seal Crystal, she'll disappear.
Yukkuri Flan
And if that happens, my wish can't come true.
Yukkuri Flan
'Cause my wish is for her to stay here forever!
I didn't realize...
So that's why you kept getting in our way....
Yukkuri Flan
Until recently, I was trying to help you get back home to your world.
Yukkuri Flan
But when Yukkuri Red Marisa left...
Yukkuri Marisa
You should come see me in my world sometime! I'll introduce you to my Marisa and the other yukkuris!
Yukkuris
See ya!
Yukkuri Flan
I realized I'd probably never see her again.
Yukkuri Flan
The other yukkuris must've realized that, too, but it's like they want you to leave! I don't get it!
Yukkuri Flan
I hate this. Playing with everyone is super fun, so I don't want it to end.
Yukkuri Flan...
Yukkuri Remilia
Seems this isn't just my sister being her usual stubborn self...
Yukkuri Remilia
I understand, Yukkuri Flan. I know what it's like to want to stay with someone forever.
Yukkuri Remilia
But hearing all that, I can't help but wonder...
Yukkuri Remilia
What do you think about this, Yukkuri PLAYER?
Me? Ummm, I...!
Yukkuri Remilia
Hmm, I see. So that's how you feel. I think I might have a solution.
Wish and Wager
Yukkuri Marisa
Time out. I just realized something important.
Yukkuri Reimu
What? Do you wanna change teams again? Or are you finally giving up?
Yukkuri Marisa
No, it's just... Why are we battling here? Aren't we meant to be fighting over the yukkuri pinwheel?
Yukkuri Reimu
Yeah, we are! But the yukkuris on your team ran away with it, and are hiding somewhere!
Yukkuri Marisa
I get that, but assuming PLAYER and Yukkuri Sanae are hiding, waiting to see how our fight plays out...
Yukkuri Marisa
They still have to bring the yukkuri pinwheel to the stand to win. Can't we just take it easy and wait for them there?
Yukkuri Alice
That's a good point...
Yukkuri Reimu
Huh? Does that mean our big battle was for nothing?
Yukkuri Cirno
I wouldn't say that. It entertained the crowd, didn't it? Isn't that right, everyone?! Did you guys enjoy that?!
Yukkuri Sanae
Wow, Yukkuri Cirno already has a bunch of fans! She really is the strongest!
Yukkuri Reimu
Yukkuri Sanae! We were just talking about you! Hand over the yukkuri pinwheel!
Yukkuri Sanae
Sorry, I don't have it anymore... Wait. Hasn't Miss PLAYER returned yet?
Yukkuri Sanae
Maybe she's still chasing after Yukkuri Flan...
Yukkuri Reimu
You mean Yukkuri Flan has it?! How did we not know about this? Staying here at the shrine was pointless!
Yukkuri Alice
Right, she doesn't need to place the yukkuri pinwheel on the stand. That'd just make her an easy target for us...
Yukkuri Reimu
She's back... Does she wanna be a target?! Huh? Yukkuri Remilia's with her!
Yukkuri Sanae
And they're carrying Yukkuri PLAYER between them like a mikoshi!
Yukkuri Remilia
This is no longer a two-way battle! Say hello to Team Scarlet Devil Mansion!
Yukkuri Flan
There's no way you can handle me and Yukkuri Remilia together! We're even more unpredictable as a team!
Umm, we're here to win.
Remilia
What's going on? Looks like my yukkuri and Flan's have joined the battle!
Cirno
They just stole all the cheers from Yukkuri Cirno!
Remilia
She must've entranced the crowd with her noble bearing as an ancient disciple of darkness.
Alice
Yukkuris are like the opposite of "noble." They've just started a bullet battle brawl with each other.
Marisa
Looks like they're having fun. All the Yukkuri Masters are here, so why don't we cheer for our own yukkuris!
Sanae
Huh? When did you all get here?
Cirno
If I sense a festival, I'll be there! I'm glad I got to see the crowd cheer for Yukkuri Cirno!
Reimu
Get 'em, Yukkuri Reimu! At least defeat Yukkuri Sanae and Yukkuri Marisa!
Alice
She's really into this, huh?
Remilia
I'm betting everything on Yukkuri Remilia! Do we place bets with you, Sanae?
Sanae
There's no betting!
Flandre
Umm, Remilia. We found Yukkuri Flan... Are we just going to forget about that?
Remilia
It's fine. I can tell her off later! Then again, if she performs well, I might be more forgiving.
Yukkuri Remilia
Did you hear that? If Yukkuri Flan does well, she'll get a pardon!
Yukkuri Remilia
I'll help you out. Defeat them all, knowing you have the full support of the Scarlet Devil Mansion's yukkuri mistress.
Thanks!
Yukkuri Flan
I won't let you down, Yukkuri Remilia!
Yukkuri Remilia
But hearing all that, I can't help but wonder... What do you think about this, Yukkuri PLAYER?
Me? Ummm, I...!
Faced with Yukkuri Remilia's question, I could only answer that I still don't know if I want my wish to come true or not.
However, there's one thing I'm sure about. Regardless of whether my wish gets granted or not...
I don't wanna just go with the flow, and wish for something because someone says I should.
I have to be the one to decide what I want.
Yukkuri Remilia
Hmm, I see. So that's how you feel. I think I might have a solution.
Yukkuri Remilia
It won't be your decision if you side with Team Hakurei Shrine, Team Moriya Shrine, or just go along with Yukkuri Flan.
Yukkuri Remilia
You must win this battle royale by yourself or with your own team. And I'd be happy to help you with that.
Yukkuri Flan
That sounds fun! I'm helping, too!
Yukkuri Remilia
Hearing about the event really made me want to take part! Let's completely destroy this battle royale!
Yukkuri Flan
Woohoo! There's nothing better than destroying stuff with my sister!
T-Try not to destroy everything, OK?
Sanae
After the super intense battle, the one who came out on top with the charm is... Umm, the new yukkuri!
Reimu
She's called Yukkuri PLAYER. She's staying at Hakurei Shrine, so this is OUR victory!
Sanae
What? Are you seriously trying to take credit for this?
Yukkuri Reimu
Seems our masters are arguing about nothing, but I'm glad you won, PLAYER.
Yukkuri Sanae
A lot happened, but I agree. There's no one more deserving of the victory than you, Miss PLAYER.
Yukkuri Remilia
Well done! Now you can do as you please.
Wish or No Wish?
Sanae
Our Yukkuri Battle Royale was pretty rushed, and it didn't all go as planned...
Sanae
But it ended spectacularly, and all the visitors to the shrine loved it! Thank you so much!
Sanae
And now, to present the victor, Yukkuri PLAYER, with her prize. A food ticket!
Let's exchange this for everyone's favorite foods...
Then we can eat them all together!
Yukkuri Reimu
How are you this nice?! Now I'm extra glad you won!
Yukkuri Sanae
I thought the same thing when we were hiding together. You're really kind, Yukkuri PLAYER.
Now we just have one more thing to decide.
We have to decide on a wish and use the Seal Crystal.
If we don't, youkai and fairies will keep coming after it.
Yukkuri Marisa
Now I understand why you were so desperate to win. But we said you didn't have to rush to make a decision.
Yukkuri Cirno
You don't have to worry about the youkai and fairies! I'll defeat 'em no matter how many times they try to take it!
Yukkuri Flan
We just gotta destroy the weirdos that come to us, right? I can do that! I'll stay with you forever and protect the Seal Crystal!
Yukkuri Remilia
Everyone will worry if you never return to the mansion, Yukkuri Flan. So, while you take a break, I'll protect it for you!
*sniff* You're all so nice...
Yukkuri Alice
Hold on... We're all talking about the big blue Seal Crystal, but where is it now?
Yukkuri Reimu
I left it in the shrine office while we were battling...
Yukkuri Marisa
You mean you left the Seal Crystal all alone with no one to watch over it, even though youkai keep trying to steal it?
Yukkuri Reimu
Oops!
Yukkuri Reimu
Big oops! Let's hurry back to the shrine!
Yukkuri Alice
The good thing about yukkuris is that we don't stress about the little things. But that also leads to big mistakes like this...
Yukkuri Alice
If only I paid more attention...!
Yukkuri Marisa
There's no point stressing about it now. It's as you say. For better or worse, that's just how we are.
Yukkuri Remilia
So, did you find it? Where's the big Seal Crystal?
Yukkuri Reimu
It's gone. Someone must've taken it...
Yukkuri Sanae
N-No way... I'm so sorry. It's my fault for inviting you all to the event...
You didn't do anything wrong! I loved the event!
Besides, even if we don't have a Seal Crystal―
Yukkuri Reimu
It's too early to give up! Let's split up and search for it!
Yukkuri Sanae
Wrooooah! Miraclemiraclemiraclemiraclemiracle!
Yukkuri Remilia
Fatefatefatefatefatefate!
Yukkuri Marisa
With their abilities, we might actually have a good chance of finding it. Even if they're only the take-it-easy versions.
Yukkuri Flan
But it's at times like this where taking it easy helps the most!
Yukkuri Alice
You're right. A yukkuri shouldn't get so flustered. Everyone, let's do all we can to find the Seal Crystal!
Yukkuri Alice
Help me out, yukkuri yukkuri dolls!
They're so small and cute... *contented sigh*
After two hours of searching...
Yukkuri Sanae
There it is! I found it! Look, PLAYER! It was definitely worth praying for a miracle!
Yukkuri Remilia
Me saying "fate" over and over again must've helped, too. Still, I wonder who put it here, of all places...
It's deep in the hollow of a tree behind the shrine.
Yukkuri Remilia
It looks hard to reach. A youkai could have hidden it here, but I think they probably dropped it and couldn't get it back out.
Yukkuri Sanae
Yukkuris are pretty small, so we might be able to squeeze in and get it.
I'll go!
Yukkuri Remilia
Wait! That's dangerous! You might get stuck.
Yukkuri Sanae
Don't get stuck. Don't get stuck. Miraclemiraclemiraclemiracle...
Yukkuri Remilia
Good thinking. I'll help, too. Fatefatefatefatefatefatefatefate...
(I wanna be a human again and return to my world...)
(But I also wanna stay with everyone here...)
(For now, I'll focus on getting the Seal Crystal!)
That's... everyone's wish right now!
Huh? Did I just activate the big Seal Crystal?!
Reimu
I don't know where the yukkuris went, but it doesn't look like they're coming back. Wanna hold an after party?
Marisa
Great idea! It's not a proper event without a party. There's something I wanted to talk to Sanae about, so I'm all for it.
Sanae
What?
Marisa
Yukkuris can't understand us, so I wanted to know how you got them to do what you asked.
Marisa
I tried to get them to do stuff for me before, but it completely backfired.
Reimu
It's Sanae, so I bet she used some kinda miracle.
Sanae
It was pretty miraculous... But I think enticing them with the food ticket prize helped a lot, too.
Sanae
They were looking at it like it was one of those big Seal Crystals that grant any wish!
Marisa
But that's not how big Seal Crystals work. That was just a rumor that spread when they first started showing up.
Marisa
The truth is that when you wish on a big Seal Crystal, it summons someone to this world who can grant it.
