僕の聞き返しに、「それはですね・・・」と妖夢さんは

少し、思案した様に空を見上げ、「きっと・・・、「」さん以外に、布都さんは身寄りも知り合いも居ないのでしょうから。」と妖夢さんはため息をついて言った。布都ちゃんは、千年以上も前の人間だ。それは、今日、布都ちゃんから聞いた。・・・妖夢さんも、布都ちゃんの事情を知っているのだろうか？「以前、布都さんが自分の事を長い眠りから醒めたと言っていた事があるんです。何かの冗談にしても、変な言い回しですよね・・・」と妖夢さんは、言葉を続ける。状況にもよるんじゃないかな？と僕が言うと「ええ、まぁ、そうですが・・・」と妖夢さんは府に落ちなそうな表情をした。「以前、神霊というものが発生して、調査していたって言ってましたよね？」ああ、割と前、布都ちゃんを紹介する前ぐらいに言っていたね。「ええ、それの原因は、麓の寺の地下に、霊廟の様な所がありまして、そこで眠る死者が年月を経て蘇るのを期待して神霊が集まっていたんです。棺は３つありまして、その内2つは亡骸の残骸で、復活に失敗したものだと思いますけど、1つは空っぽで、最近空けた節があって、恐らく蘇りに成功したのでしょう。」妖夢さんの話は布都ちゃんが昼時に話した出自の話と合っていた。もしかして、残る一つの成功したというが、もしかして・・・「ええ、布都さんかもって思ってます。ただ、神霊達が復活を期待したのは布都さんではなかった様です。ですから、神霊も早々に退散して、大した事でもなかったんです。もし、神霊が期待する人物が復活していたら、巫女が仕事をする事になっていたかもしれません」大したことなかったけど『異変』が起きるかもしれなかったという事か。「少し、こじ付けの様ですけど、布都さん、世間の事あまり知らないようですし、そういう可能性もあるかと思いまして。でも、もしそうなら、可愛そうですよね・・・。折角蘇ったのに、自分だけしか蘇れなかったなんて・・・」妖夢さんは、少し俯き、「だから、きっと、布都さんは今の世でたよれる人なんて「」さんぐらいしか居ないと思います・・・。」と悲しそうに言った。実際、布都ちゃんはそうなんだろう。・・・でも僕は、それでいいと思っているよ。布都ちゃんと一緒に居て、悪いと思ったことはないものと言うと、妖夢さんは、「そうですか・・・。そうですね・・・。私は・・・私はですね・・・」と妖夢さんは何か言いたそうに口をもごつかせてわっふるわっふる

Ah, it continues!

Rejoice! It continues!

Shit is gonna hit the fan reeeal soon now.

Just to be safe...bump to make sure there's translating going on.

"Well," Youmu began...

Looking up to the sky in contemplation, she spoke, "I'm sure that... besides you, Futo-san has no friends or relatives." She let out a small sigh. Futo-chan is from a time over a thousand years in the past; she told me herself today. I wonder if Youmu knows about her situation as well.... "Futo-san has told me before that she woke up from a long slumber. Even as a joke, it's a rather odd thing to say..." she continued. "That depends on the circumstances," I told her. "Hmm... well, I suppose so..." she said with a confused expression. "Remember when I told you about the incident with the spirits that I investigated?" she asked. "Yeah, that was a while ago. Before I even introduced you to Futo-chan." "Well, the source of that turned out to be a sort of mausoleum under the temple at the base of the mountain. Spirits had gathered there to wait for their resurrection. There were three coffins. Two of them contained long-decomposed remains; probably people who failed to be resurrected. But one of them was empty and seemed to have been opened recently, almost as if the person successfully resurrected."

Youmu's story fit with what Futo-chan had told me about where she came from. If there was only one that succeeded, then.... "Yes, I think that person might have been Futo-san. But she's not who the spirits wanted resurrected. So the spirits dispersed and nothing major came of it. If the one that they were expecting had resurrected, the miko might have had to step in." Hm... so it wasn't anything too big, though there was a chance of an 'abnormality'. "It might be a bit of a stretch, but it seems Futo-san doesn't know much about the world, so I thought about that possibility. If it is true, though, I feel sorry for her... finally coming back to life, only to find that she was the only one...." Youmu cast her gaze downward. "That's why I think you're the only one in this world she has to rely on," she said with a sad tone. "I suppose that's true... but I'm fine with that. I've never thought of being together with Futo-chan as a bad thing," I told her. "Really? I see... you know, I... I..." Youmu trailed off, opening her mouth as if she wanted to say something... to be continued

What a relife... for a while now I've been thinking that Youmu might had killed the other two...
