序 

Foreword

歴史創人間の居閉ざ世界。

A closed world, without any humans that keep historical records.

妖怪は過去の出来事歪記憶、幻想郷は事実見よ。

Youkai remember distorted versions of past events, so Gensokyo could not see thetruth particularly well.

の所為も、妖怪の実態も判ず、人間は怯か無か。

Because of that, the humans, not knowing the real facts about the youkai, can only cower in fear of them.

も妖怪の能力対策判、予幻想郷の危険場所判、妖怪退治得

I believe that if humans knew more about the strengths and weaknesses of the youkai, if they knew beforehand what parts of Gensokyo were dangerous, if they knewmore about those humans who specialize in defeating youkai, then they wouldn'thave to live in fear.

我稗田家は、人間の生活の安全確保に、百二十年か百八十年に一度、幻想郷で目立

We, the Hieda family, decided to collect information about Gensokyo's most prominent youkai every one hundred twenty to one hundred eighty years in order to ensure humans' ability to live in safety.

この『幻想郷縁起』で。

The result is this. The "Gensokyo Chronicles".

千年以上前の阿一の代か始、でに私で九代目で。

It started more than a thousand years ago, in Aichi's age. And with me, this isalready the ninth generation.

e today are each treated separately in detail.

この図鑑は、幻想郷で必要以上に妖怪恐、反対に強妖怪に手出為の指針で。

This encyclopedia should serve as a guide to avoid both fearing youkai that poselittle threat and provoking particularly strong youkai.

妖精幽霊ど頻繁に遭遇妖怪か、天狗吸血鬼強力妖怪で全、能力、危険

It starts with commonly encountered youkai, such as fairies and phantoms, proceeding to powerful youkai such as vampires and tengu, providing a list of abilities, threat levels, the places and times at which they most commonly appear, and how often they're seen.

全図説有。

All of them are illustrated.

里の人間に最も役に立項目。

It should be a most useful item to the human villagers.

英雄伝は、人間の里に住んで人間で、妖怪退治異変解決等行者の紹介で

The heroic legends are introductions to humans not living in the Human Village who engage in youkai extermination and incident resolution.

基本的に人間の味方で、妖怪の被害に困、ここに載者に相談み良

They are essentially allies of humans, so if you're being harassed by youkai, you may be well served by consulting with one of the humans described here.

There are many mysteries about most of these humans, but I have tried to shed some light on the mysterious points as well.

The dangerous areas guide is a list of key locations in Gensokyo, describing each and giving a sense of how dangerous they are.

ly.

未解決資料は、資料不完全物、幻想郷に相容物、新聞、等挟んで。

The unresolved matters are articles with incomplete information, articles that appear incompatible with Gensokyo, newspaper articles, and other inserts.

こはこか纏資料に書き起こ予定で。

I intend to start gathering material and finish writing those.

独白は、私、九代目の阿求本纏に当思事、幻想郷に付思事書物で

過去の幻想郷縁起よ、新風吹き込み、出来け今風にデザイン直、遥かに読み

A new wind of change has swept through Gensokyo since the previous volumes of the Gensokyo Chronicles; I believe that the new volume has been greatly redesignedin the contemporary style, and is much easier to read.

古書の様に読みに筆文字で、難解文章嫌か幻想郷縁起は読み、人間にも

I wanted people who find it difficult to read classic literature, or who wouldn't read the Chronicles because of all the difficult sentences, to read it, too.

では、幻想郷縁起よ読んで、素敵貴方に安全幻想郷イフ。

Now, please read these Gensokyo Chronicles, and may you have a wonderful and safe life in Gensokyo.

It seems that when her ability is used along with Sunny Milk's light diffraction, it can hide both form and sound, producing a truly fearsome stealthiness. Buteven so, they are still fairies, after all.

Youkai have a history of being physically stronger than humans, and trying to fight them may quickly end up as feeding them.

However, the reason most youkai attack humans is because they need prey.

Rumia falls into the weaker category of youkai, but she possesses an ability tha

t makes her surroundings dark whether it is night or day.

The darkness this youkai emits is a magical darkness that renders even torchlight useless, and humans that wander into this darkness have their field of visionreduce to almost nothing.

この闇に乗じ襲もの、他 の妖怪群で行動事はず無の救

It is simple to drag people into the darkness and attack them, but she does not

move with a group of other youkai, which is a relief.

姿は幼少女で、赤眼に黄色 髪に赤ン、闇に紛為に黒服着、常に暗闇

Her appearance is that of a young girl with red eyes and a red ribbon in her blond hair. It is said that she wears dark clothes to blend in with the darkness, but since it is always dark around her this is difficult to confirm.

暗闇の化 け物知、普段か恐為か、直截姿見者は、余に幼少女

Perhaps because she is known as a monster of darkness and is normally feared, people who have directly seen her form discover a too young girl and are overcomewith relief.

の姿隠為に闇で包のかも知。

It is possible that she covers herself in darkness to hide her appearance.

、闇の能力はでも補助的物で、人間襲時は力業で行言。

Also, it is said that her ability to manipulate darkness is only a supporting ab

ility, and that she uses pure power to attack humans.

Since she looks like what she looks like you cannot tell if she is really strongor not, but it isn't possible to fight against her in the darkness.

Since a human's power can't compare to a youkai's in the first place, it would be impossible to put up a fight within darkness that renders even torchlight useless.

何か策か、余程腕に自信限、闇に入はけ。

The best way to deal with this would be to not enter the darkness unless you arevery confident in your abilities.

Her main time of activity is night, and she sleeps in the daytime.

典型的妖怪で(*1)。

All in all, she is a typical youkai (*1).

、冬は冬眠言、本人の談けで実際は何処 に棲んでのか確認取

Though she claims to hibernate through the winter, we have only her word on it and it's unknown where she lives, so this is unconfirmed.

古は、幻想郷縁起阿一著(*2)の妖怪録にも、妖怪登場。

Historically, there is an article in the Youkai Encyclopedia from Aichi's (*2) Gensokyo Chronicle that seems to describe her.

の時代に姿で現 。

She is said to look the same now as she appeared back then.

能力

Ability

境 界操能力は、全の物事根底か覆恐能力で。

The ability to manipulate boundaries is a terrifying ability capable of fundamentally undermining reality.

As you know, everything is built upon the existence of boundaries.

If there was no water surface, there could be no lake.

稜 線無け、山も空も存在。

If there was no sky line, neither mountain nor sky could exist.

幻想郷の大結界無け、幻想郷も存在。

Were it not for the Great Barrier, even Gensokyo itself wouldn't exist.

8/3/2019 Perfect Memento in Strict Sense Youkai Encyclopedia

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/perfect-memento-in-strict-sense-youkai-encyclopedia 82/197

If there were no boundaries, everything would probably exist as a single enormous object.

、境 界操能力は、論理的創造破壊の能力で。

Thus, the ability to manipulate boundaries is an ability of logical creation anddestruction.

論理的に新存在創造、論理的に存在否定。

It essentially creates a new being, or denies the existence of a being.

妖怪持能力の中でも神様の力に匹敵で、最も危険能力の一で。

Among the abilities youkai are known to possess, this is one of the most dangerous, being comparable even to the power of gods.

、空間の裂け目か自在に何処 にでも瞬 時に移 動、体の一部け別の場所に移 動せ事も

She is also capable of going anywhere through a gap in space, whether it be herentire body or only a part of her.

物理的空間けで、絵の中夢 の中、物語の中等にも移 動事も出来。

It's said that this ability is not limited to physical space, but also applies t

o pictures, others' dreams, and even stories.

In addition, she is possessed of superhuman (*3) intellect, and is especially good at mathematics.

の上、長生きき為、知識経験も豊富で。

Furthermore, due to her long lifespan, she has a broad range of knowledge and experience.

日常

Daily life

本人は意外話屋で、自分幻想郷に関事色 々 教。

She is actually quite talkative, eager to teach you about herself or about Gensokyo.

、ども確かよか、実際に確認取か、真実かどかは判

8/3/2019 Perfect Memento in Strict Sense Youkai Encyclopedia

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/perfect-memento-in-strict-sense-youkai-encyclopedia 83/197

However, most of her stories are impossible to prove or confirm, so no one can say if what she says is true.

家は、博麗神社同じで、幻想郷外の世界の境 界に建 、の建 物実際に見者

Her house is said to be located at the boundary between Gensokyo and the outside

world, just like the Hakurei Shrine, but no one has ever actually seen it.

空間の切目使、何処 かも現、何処 か消かで。

This is because her only movements are through gaps in space, so she seems to appear out of nowhere and disappear into nothing.

後追こも出来ず、真偽の程は定かでは(*4)。

No one can follow her through the gaps, so it's not known if it's true or not (*

4).

、普段は自分か動事は少、妖獣式神操、雑用は全この妖獣に任せ。

In addition, she rarely acts directly, instead leaving practically all of her work to a beast she controls as a familiar.

特に昼間冬ど、寝時はこの式神紫 の代に行動。

This is especially true in daytime and winter when she is sleeping, and in suchcases that familiar is seen moving around in her stead.

後は、長生きき者同士の妖怪の友人関係も多。

Additionally, as she is an elder being, she has many friends that are also elder.

冥 界に棲西行寺幽々子(後述)、鬼の伊吹萃香(後述)ど、大抵の友人関係最強クの妖怪

Most of her friends are first-class youkai like Yuyuko Saigyouji of the netherworld and the oni Suika Ibuki.

幻想郷の関係

Relationship to Gensokyo

幻想郷自体、大き結界によ外界遮断。

Gensokyo is separated from the outside by a large magical barrier.

この結界のは、中外分け境 界線の事で。

This barrier literally is the boundary between inside and outside.

8/3/2019 Perfect Memento in Strict Sense Youkai Encyclopedia

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/perfect-memento-in-strict-sense-youkai-encyclopedia 84/197

、外の世界幻想郷は、物理的には地 続 きで為、結界持境 界論理的に幻想郷場

However, the inside world and the outside world are still physically contiguous,so it can be said that the barrier is logically creating the place that we callGensokyo.

、境 界の妖怪存在けで、幻想郷の様場所創事も壊事も可能言。

That also means that as long as the youkai of boundaries exists, she can createor destroy a place like Gensokyo whenever she desires.

境 界で囲幻想郷に、何処 に住んでのか判境 界の妖怪存在事は、幻想郷の成

It can be argued that the fact that a youkai of boundaries exists in Gensokyo, aland surrounded by an enormous boundary, implies that she must have some extremely significant connection to the origin of Gensokyo.

不思議事に、この妖怪は人間襲事少。

Strangely, this youkai rarely attacks humans.

人襲妖怪は妖怪ではので、どこかで人襲筈で。

A youkai that never attacks humans is by definition not a youkai, so it is likely that she occasionally does attack humans.

自由に外の世界に行け妖怪の為、の場所は外の世界ではか言(*5)。

As she can freely visit the outside world, it's speculated that she attacks humans in the outside world (*5).

Although she went in with an army of impudent youkai, they were crushed by the Moon's advanced weaponry.

こ以来、妖怪達は自分のー越 攻入事は少言。

It is since this incident that youkai usually do not choose to attack beyond their territory.

この騒動機に、この境 界の妖怪の力人間の間にも知渡。

妖怪拡張計画

Youkai Expansion Project

五百年以上前の逸 話で。

A story from over 500 years ago.

人口の増加によ、人間に押気味幻想郷の妖怪の勢 力回復為に、紫 立案、実行

The project refers to a plan designed and implemented by Yukari in order to restore power to the youkai of Gensokyo, who felt pressured by human expansion.

こ以前の幻想郷は単人里離山奥に過ぎか、幻想郷の周に幻実体の境 界創

Until then Gensokyo was merely an isolated mountain place, but she planned to create the boundary between illusion and reality around Gensokyo, thus logically creating a new world.

幻想郷の中幻の世界、外の世界実体の世界事で、外の世界で勢 力弱き妖怪達

By establishing Gensokyo as an illusionary world, and the outside as the real world, the youkai weakened by the outside world would naturally flock to Gensokyo;this was a truly epochal event.

こによ、日本の外の国かも妖怪移民様に。

At this time, it seems that youkai from outside of Japan immigrated to Gensokyo,as well.

境 界の効果は現在も続 。

The effects of the boundary remain even in the present time.

8/3/2019 Perfect Memento in Strict Sense Youkai Encyclopedia

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/perfect-memento-in-strict-sense-youkai-encyclopedia 86/197

The cleverness of the plan lies in allowing youkai to disappear in the outside world while permitting them to thrive within Gensokyo.

外の世界人間の天下で以上、幻想郷では妖怪の天下続 。

As long as the outside world remains in the hands of the humans, Gensokyo will b

e the demesne of the youkai.

It is said that this youkai was one of those who suggested the creation of the Great Barrier and created what is now Gensokyo.

、最初は数多の妖怪の反発 に合、妖怪同士の闘争よで。

However, it appears that there was some opposition to this plan from a number ofyoukai, and that there was open conflict between youkai.

この間、妖怪は人間ほかので、幻想郷の人間の間では大結界は絶賛。

As this conflict distracted youkai from their normal attacks against humans, theGreat Barrier has received great praise over the period of Gensokyo's existence.

結局、妖怪達に大結界の有用性伝、今はこの結界に反対者は殆ど居。

Word of the usefulness of the Great Barrier has now circulated among the youkai,and there are scarcely any that oppose its existence.

幽霊 騒動

The Phantom Disturbance

冥 界顕界の境 界薄、幽霊顕界に、生者冥 界に行き騒動。

The Phantom Disturbance refers to a time when the border between the Netherworldand the world of the living weakened, making it easy for the respective denizens of each to go back and forth.

この妖怪の仕業のは明かで。

It is obvious that this youkai would have been involved in such a feat.

Since this was the act of an extremely wise youkai, there was likely some extraordinary benefit to youkai society in doing this. (*7)

by little, and from the time a large magical barrier was built, it's no longerthe case that they'll show themselves at all, anywhere in Gensokyo.

自分退治に来人間も少様、のん幻想郷の世界気に入ず、何処 にも判

Unlike humans who might resort to self-extermination, but because they were not

Because oni are different from regular youkai, the means of extermination and the tools necessary are particular and specialized; furthermore if these specialized means are not used then it would be hopeless.

既に鬼退治妖術は人間か失、今では鬼出会も為術無。

The black magics to exterminate oni have already been lost by humans, thus it would appear that meeting an oni nowadays would be too much for anyone to deal with.

There are many such captain death gods, but she is responsible for ferrying mostof the souls of Gensokyo humans(*1).

It's perhaps for this reason that she can often be seen in Gensokyo(*2).

高下駄履き、極端に大き人鎌持為、圧倒。

Her tall geta and enormous sickle give her an imposing stature.

生き今見も圧倒のか、肉体失希薄幽霊後に見、尚更

Since she's so overwhelming if you see her in life, she must be all the more imp

、話好きで口調も威勢 良、河渡間に一方的に話掛 け(*)。

As she loves to talk, and is possessed of impressive tone and power, she likelycarries a number of one-sided conversations while ferrying souls(*3).

Its length is determined by the toll paid to ferrying death god, and can be madeshorter with large payments.

渡賃は全財産で、の財産は自分の財産では、生前親 き者本人の為に使

It is said that the ferriage can be paid out of one's own assets - but not the p

ersonal assets collected over one's life, but rather the money spent by close relations in behalf of the deceased.

万一、マイに、の舟は向こ岸に着事は無、途中で舟か投げ出

If by some chance this figure is negative, then the ferry will never reach the other side, and the deceased will likely be thrown out into the river.

Whether one makes it or not is all up to the attending death god.

Komachi's boat which crosses the Sanzu no Kawa

Compared to her own flashiness, her ship is actually a very austere affair withno decoration.

他 の死 神の舟も同様に質素で所か推測、この舟は地獄か支給舟思

If you assume that all the other death god's ships are similarly modestly furnished, one might suppose they are provisioned from hell.

As hell's facilities must naturally expand to accommodate rising populations, it's said hell is currently experiencing a period of financial difficulty.

Because the Yama are not any of the youkai who reside in Gensokyo, and also because they rarely appear in Gensokyo, they will herein be given an introduction.

の昔、今の様に人間多か頃は転生は確実に行、七(追加で三)回(*1)に

In times past, when there were comparatively fewer humans, the cycles of spiritu

al transmigration were operated with great reliability. The policy of crossing over seven times (plus 3 additional times)(*1) was carried out by the Ten Kings (*2). If the first judgement was succesful, then the cycles of spiritual transmigration would be as gratifying as the sweetest of desserts.

、徐々に人間の数も増、裁判官の人手足、十王全当時最も力の閻魔

However, the number of humans increased little by little, leading to a lack of judicial manpower, at which point the Ten Kings called upon the most powerful ofYamas of the day to reduce the number of pending trials insofar as was possible.And thus the shortage in personnel was resolved.

、全国の地 蔵んか閻魔様の仕事者集、地 蔵ん場所の死 者の審判Additionally, from all over the country, those who arrived via Jizou (th

e bodhisvattas for children, travellers, and the underworld) and were interestedin serving as Lord Yamas had a meeting, wherein the deceased who had died in proximity to Jizou were entrusted with the vocation of being judges.

殆どの閻魔様は、古地 蔵んで。

As it was, the Lord Yamas became mostly composed of old Jizou.

今では、閻魔の人数非常に多為、死 神、地獄の鬼共に地獄の公的組織是非曲直庁」

In present times, to address the issue of humans outnumbering judges, shinigami,oni from Hell, together with the official organization The Ministry of What's Right and What's Wrong」 have taken up the business of operations and oversight.

是非曲直庁

The Ministry of What's Right and What's Wrong

At the top of this organization, there preside 10 yamas.(*3)

Below them are lesser judges and fierce administrative demons. Each and every judge also commands several shinigami, while each of the fierce administrative demons similarly commands a number of lesser oni.

この、裁判官で閻魔呼ので。

Within this place, all lower ranks including lesser judges may consult with theyamas.

ず、死 神によ彼岸に連こ幽霊は、自分の住んで場所担当裁判官の所

First, for the spirits who have been brought along by shinigami via Higan, theywill be taken to the court of the lesser judge who matches up with the spirit'sprevious station in life.

審判は裁判官一人で行、死 者の意見聞事無(*4)独自の判断で判決下、冥 界か天界

Each shall have only one lesser judge presiding, who will pass judgement withoutheeding the testimony of the deceased (*4), and thus divide the souls towards Heaven, Hell, or the Netherworld as each outcome dictates.

鬼神長は、地獄に堕幽霊虐鬼の長で。

The fierce administrative demons will take charge as the souls fall down to Hell

and will command the lesser oni in their torment of the deceased.

様々拷問設備作、現在、財政難によ整備は不十分で。

A wide array of torture devices could be used, but current economic conditions mean that many of these contraptions are in serious need of maintenance and repair.

組織の主収入源は、三途の河の渡賃、及中有の道の屋台で。

The organization's primary sources of income will be fares from those crossing t

he Sanzu River, as well as confection stands and food carts operating on the Road of Liminality.

閻魔の審判

The Judgement of Yama

生前の悪行読み上げ、内容量によ判決言渡。

Misdeeds committed while still living will be read loudly and clearly, the details and the numbers will be considered, and the judgement will then be announced.

一度判決下、覆事は無。

Once the judgement has been passed down, there's nothing along the lines of revoking or appealing the decision.

判決は、の後の幽霊の行き先決けで、よ言嘘吐閻魔様に舌抜か

While this judgement will determine the final destination of the spirit, there are often lies (those who lie to the Lord Yama have their tongues pulled out) spo

ken in the process, the Lord Yama keeps at his side an extensive archive of pastlies with which to threaten the deceased regarding risks and dangers.

In this sense, Yamas are allies of honest people.

、寿命者でも今の段階 で罪負過ぎ、地獄に堕事確実で場合、休暇中
