Wind God Girl (12)

[0:18] (Aya) Back on the scene after a quick intermission between
While that issue is on the press, let’s go check all around
What a good start to the year, a ghost story in the spring
But still I know that there are stories that still must be found!

[0:42] Hey, there’s a source! Let’s see… oh, right! She’s that sparrow from the eel stand!
Let’s go and see what this sparrow now has planned
(Mystia) It’s no good! There’s nothing here I could use to carry the stuff that I need
There’s no way I can match all my demand!

[1:21] (Aya) So, what’s going on around here?
(Mystia) Who are you? (Aya) The best reporter of the tengu!
The sole writer for this Bunbunmaru newspaper source
And my name is Aya Shameimaru!

[1:45] So then, sparrow; What’s the matter? I heard you say you needed help
(Mystia) I need water from the Sanzu, but I can’t carry it all by myself
(Aya) Is that so? That’s just too bad. I don’t think I can help you with your demand
But I’ll help spread the word if someone can

[2:11] (Mystia) Thanks, that might help! (Aya) So, what’s it for?
(Mystia) Sanzu water has a pure taste
(Aya) Would you like me to run an ad for your eel stand?
(Mystia) Oh, yes I would! I’m usually around this place or the village
We serve grilled eel and bird sake, but Yakitori and poultry are banned
(Aya) Right, got it. Well cya then! Oh, by the way, before it slips my mind
A viewing is tonight up at the shrine

-Sanzu river, seconds later-
[3:02] “Taste of the Dead”? No, not enough. It needs more mystery
“Flower: Spirits”? No, it’s not sake. That is plain to see
Well anyway, let’s see if someone can help that sparrow
I’m pretty sure that a title will soon appear to me

[3:25] Well hello there! Shinigami! Are you the one in charge around here?
(Komachi) Well, I guess so. So, who are you, crow tengu?
(Aya) Name’s Aya. So what’s the deal with these flowers?
I heard that they all hold ghosts
(Tewi) Watch out! If they haunt you, then you’ll be toast!

[4:04] Ah, never mind. It’s only you
So did you get everything that you need, tengu?
(Aya) Yeah, that story’s printing. It’ll be the first one out this year
(Komachi) Can you leave? I’m still trying to work here…

[4:27] (Aya) So then, what’s new? Any story that might be worth some coverage?
(Tewi) Nothing for me. I only got some donations right here meant for the shrine
(Aya) Oh, that’s right! There’s a viewing up at the shrine tonight, so you should all go
(Tewi) Yeah, everyone back home already knows

[4:53] (Komachi) If you are done, I need to get back to work now. I am behind
(Aya) Oh wait, that's right! Do you have something to carry water?
A night sparrow needs to transport water from here to her eel stand
I agreed to ask around to see if anyone here can help her
(Eiki) Komachi? Are you working? (Komachi) Yes, but some guests have dropped by, as you can see
(Eiki) I see. Inaba Tewi, please come with me
