So these are the grounds of the Moriya shrine.
Hm, the buildings are much more splendid than the Hakurei shrine's.
They look a lot more stable too. I wonder when they were built?
Are you an architect now?
It's a pretty place~. That shrine maiden must waste a lot of time cleaning.
If we're talking wasting time, then Reimu's the best around. Though it looks like she could learn a few cleaning tips.
Shut it. Besides, I can just have someone come to my shrine to keep it this clean.
Anyway, Lady Patchouli, I thought you weren't coming?
I changed my mind. I wanted to take a look at Youkai Mountain. If it wasn't so easy getting in, though, I probably wouldn't have come today.
Well it doesn't really matter. Good to see you here.
Indeed. Your power will be a great help from now on.
...Don't get ahead of yourself. I'm only here because I was interested.
Still, the fact that you got here so easily must mean that the mountain youkai have changed their attitudes.
Nitori, is that why you came?
Nah, I haven't heard anything like that.
But you came anyway. Aren't you scared of getting punished?
I'll have to get ready for that, but I really did want to meet up with all of you.
Also, no matter what happens, I'm sure Marisa will protect me!
What's that supposed to mean!?
My, she speaks so highly of you.
You're so cool~.
Ho-hold on a second. Sure, I said something like that, but don't rely on me that much!
Eh!? But Marisa, weren't you like "come with me"!?
...What a reckless thing to say. Did you plan on taking this kappa from the mountain?
Let's cut off that line of thought here. I'm sure things will work out.
Anyways, I wasn't expecting the tengu to turn traitor. I don't think that shrine maiden was either.
But if they're smart, then they're not going to do anything too blatant.
Indeed. They likely have their own plans.
While we're on the subject, I feel kind of bad for that girl. She said a lot of things, but if she had to come here because there wasn't enough faith in the outside world...
...I see, a god without faith may as well be dead. I suppose that shrine maiden just wanted to protect her god.
Her god must be very important to her for her to go so far... I can understand wanting to work yourself to the bone like that.
However, the sharp difference between how she handles humans and youkai must mean she has yet to adjust to Gensokyo.
Shrine maidens should be upfront like Reimu. Hey, how about you try setting up a branch shrine?
I'll think about it, but until I meet this god I'm not going to say anything final.
The god of Moriya shrine, Yasaka... wonder what kind of person she is.
That shrine maiden was really devoted to her. She must be very impressive.
She could just be really charming.
Like a vampire?
Our opponent is a god, so I'd assume not. Though I think I'd like her if she was.
It seems like the mountain youkai don't know much about this god either.
Yup. Youkai like me aren't even allowed on the shrine grounds very often.
Anything could happen once we cross the shrine. Are you all prepared?
Of course. It's way too late to be scared.
I'll punish the jerks who want to take over my shrine with my own hands!
A god I know nothing about sounds like a great opponent!
