- The Netherworld at night.
- The moon's power has reached even the Netherworld.
- Even now, the overflowing jubilation in the Netherworld resembles
- that of the living humans.
- Indeed, the real moon has returned to Gensokyo.
- Its power is even remarkably different than the supposedly dead
- papier-mache moon's.
- The moon until now has been - ah, how shall I say it - vulgar somehow...
- The images of memories about the moon from long ago are reflected
- in the night sky.
- In the meantime, I'll treat you to more of Yuyuko's Reminiscings
- About The Moon, but the present feels so thin.
- A new power is pouring into tonight's moon from the heavens.
- It's not very nostalgic, but then again, it's reassuring.
- The power of madness had been rising to the point of overflowing.
- That's probably why the true full moon is being invoked.
- Starting from tonight, the night of the full moon,
- the moon can be seen directly. I warned Youmu about that, too.
- Because the moon is always...
- and to everyone...
- an enemy.

- Eirin "So, what is it?
- Is something the matter? Why did you summon me so suddenly?"
- Yuyuko "Come on, don't get your knickers in a twist.
- First of all, drink a gulp of tea."
- Eirin "Eh? Ah... Then I will have some."
- Yuyuko "Gelsemium. The tea of elegance."
- Eirin "Oeghhh! Damn it, this is a deadly poison!"
- Yuyuko "Oh my, you really are pretty knowledgeable."
- Eirin "I know the ins and outs of medicine.
- In exchange, poisons and drugs won't work on me.
- Trying to poison me is futile."
- Yuyuko "Guess it can't be helped.
- Of course, I didn't use all of my power~
- I wonder if I should give it to Youmu."
- Eirin "No, hold on. What are you trying to do by killing me?"
- Yuyuko "Actually, my problem is the same as Youmu's.
- In yesterday's battle I looked at the full moon too much,
- and now my eyes hurt.
- I couldn't think of anyone else but you who could cure it."
- Eirin "Oh, my, that's bad indeed.
- However, I can't do anything about the moon's power.
- ...Err, anyways, I was going to say...
- Why were you trying to kill me?"
- Yuyuko "Because you're handy. I thought you might be useful at home."
- Eirin "??"
- Yuyuko "Hey, where is this place?"
- Eirin "The Netherworld."
- Eirin "... No, no. It will be troublesome if you kill me like that.
- Even I have things that I still have to do no matter what.
- Oh, all right. I'll lend you my medical services any time.
- It's not like you're going to die when you're already
- in the Netherworld, though..."
- Yuyuko "I'm looking forward to dying~.
- Besides, once you die, you can't die again. Eternal youth, huh?"
- Eirin "You may say that, but your maid is listening to you.
- You sure talk a lot for someone who just sits around and is cared for."
- Youmu "Oh, the holy spirits!"
- Eirin "The holy spirits?"
- Yuyuko "I'm not talking about the dead - I'm seeing the soul
- of a living person."
- Youmu "Furthermore, it's red and long."
- Eirin "Oh, really. It has incredibly red eyes.
- It's the eyes of a rabbit. They're very sensitive,
- and attuned to the moon."
- Eirin "Crimson eyes, eyes of madness. I can't leave this alone,
- and I might not return."
- Yuyuko "Actually, you don't really have to return.
- Well, in that case, Youmu doesn't have to go mad to clean the garden."
- Youmu "When I close my eyes, I can see the spirits.~"
- Eirin "Well, then, let's try a little therapy before making any medicine.
- We can't even see the moon directly right now."
- Yuyuko "That's amazing. It's like a physician's practice in a little village.
- Won't you work in my home after all?"
- Eirin "I still don't want to die.
- Besides, I will be preparing the medicine with the Princess's power.
- It's a shame, but I can't leave it to the Netherworld's hands."
- Yuyuko "Is the medicine by any chance..."
- Yuyuko "No!!! My natural enemy~"
- Youmu "Lady Yuyuko? What's the matter?
- To think that someone could exist who dislikes Lady Yuyuko...
- I think she is very nice."
- Eirin "Okay, let's fix that red eye."
- Yuyuko "Oh, Youmu, you can't drink any of that tea.
- It's too high class for you."
- Youmu "Eh?"
- Eirin "Our treatments are different."
- --
- Yuyuko can manipulate a person's death.
- And so the ghosts that Yuyuko holds in her hands achieve Nirvana,
- and the Netherworld becomes lively.
- But no matter how you look at it, the seemingly-invincible Yuyuko
- has one natural enemy.
- The immortal humans created by the Hourai Elixir.
- If you ask why, it's because of the remaining souls Yuyuko
- holds in her hands.
- If every human hated death and sought the elixir of immortality,
- then the concept of death would vanish from humanity.
- And if no humans ever died...
- Then no new ghosts would come to the Netherworld.
- Humans can't get there without dying.
- And no matter how superior Yuyuko's methods are,
- the medicine of Hourai will always exist...
