And this half was mainly translated by Clarste.
...You know, I'd rather emphasize my personal time after work over promotions.
Yup, yup, I agree. It's better to live at your own pace. You've gotta take breaks in moderation too.
I guess people with jobs think differently. All I do is stand in front of a gate...
Oh no, no, that's an important duty. It might just be standing in front of a gate, but it's still a fine job.
Y-You think? I guess even just standing there, I can be of use to Yuu-
Hey, Elly, can't we go back yet? Alice, Sakuya, and everyone else already went back so it's boring now...
What? Stop pulling! I just gave you some juice earlier, Kurumi!
I don't want any juice! I want to go back home and read a book!
Oh dear, I never thought I'd be granted an invitation from Lady Yasaka herself.
I don't need your thanks. It will be enough for you to drink my sacred sake while basking in my divinity.
These tengu are pretty undignified though. How many of them are already smashed?
Hehehe... Those girls were weaklings. Let me show you how a true tengu drinks! Hey! Momiji! Get another cask in here! One of those big ones!
*sigh* A big one? Okay, I'm com-
Um, can I help you with that?
Lady Kochiya! Please have a seat and leave this to me.
I could never! You're our guests here, so I can't have you-
No, I'll do it. After all, I doubt you can even lift it. Is this okay though? Letting us enter the forbidden shrine grounds?
I still don't know. But I've never seen those two having so much fun before. Still, now that I think about it, was there a reason as to how Reimu's group even reached here at all?
Oh, yes. I guess we owe you an apology for letting them reach the shrine.
Please don't apologize, Miss Inubashiri.
I think it's only inevitable that we didn't win the trust of the youkai.
How do you mean?
The fact that we came to this mountain to earn back our faith doesn't change the fact that we were inexcusably rude to the youkai who live here. So the youkai have every reason to see us as they do.
That's not exactly it. We didn't do it because we hated you guys or anything. But maybe it would be easier for both sides if we let bygones be bygones.
You want it to be easier for both sides?
Yes, at this rate it'll be awkward for everyone. There's no point in worrying about about who troubled who, or who thinks what. As residents of the same mountain, I think it'd be best if we could just talk to each other casually.
...
Momiji! Where's that cask I asked for?!
Oops, forgot about that. Excuse me, I have to take care of this. Actually, could you come with me Aya? We have to present the Great Tengu's gift. The special sake.
Ah, so we take advantage of the confusion to swipe some of the Great Tengu's treasured sake? Good idea.
You keep watch while I make my getaway. The perfect crime!
Are you drunk? That made no sense.
Ow! Don't pull on my ears!
I see, I guess even youkai can be terrible drunks.
Sanaee! I'm out of sake!
Eek! Lady Moriya?!
She can't go get more sake if you're holding onto her like that, Suwako. She was just about to go. Sorry about this, Sanae. We're the only ones getting a chance to drink freely.
N-no, I'm fine. I wasn't going to drink away.
By the way, who was that unsociable tengu? I feel like I've seen them somewhere before.
That was Miss Inubashiri. She often visits the shrine to make offerings.
Ah yes, that's right. What did she say to you?
She said it'd be easier for everyone if we let bygones be bygones. I don't have much experience with talking to people though, so I don't see why that would be the case.
Hmm, seems like that tengu really gets it.
That's for sure. Treating youkai as equals will become the key to a brand new faith.
What do you mean?
I mean what we're doing right now: having enough trust in each other to drink together like this. That's all. Gods and humans, befriending each other as equals. Maybe this is the faith I was seeking all along.
Faith is just trusting other people...?
I understand. I'll work hard to become worthy of that trust.
This isn't something you work hard for. Just be yourself and don't force it. You've got your whole future ahead of you.
...Anyways, could you two please tell me if you still need me? I know I'm just the Moriya shrine's wind priestess but...
Of course we do. If you weren't here, we would have never come to Gensokyo in the first place.
A different god cheers Sanae up depending on who you beat last.

So raise your head, Sanae. It may have been late, but the winds of Moriya are still with us as. Suwako, Sanae... Let's keep living at this divine lake, together.

So cheer up! Now that you're in Gensokyo, your daily life is gonna be way more fun life than before. Let's have the three of us keep on living along this divine lake, together.
Of course...!
