Ema ni Negai wo! (Prologue Edition) [[{{{prev}}}|<<]] [[{{{next}}}|>>]] [[{{{prev1}}}|<<]] [[{{{next1}}}|>>]] [[{{{prev2}}}|<<]] [[{{{next2}}}|>>]]

狼欒神社Rouran JinjaRouran Shrine is the second song of Ema ni Negai wo! (Prologue Edition). It immediately follows 星空へと続く坂道Hoshizora e to Tsuzuku SakamichiThe Slope Leading Towards the Starry Sky. There are four versions of the song: one with two guitar solos and one with a piano and violin solo, and then each of those is either narrated by Akio Otsuka or Rika Fukami. The version received is random, and all versions are equally likely. Once the song finishes, it continues into the next song, 夜の因業が見せた夢Yoru no Ingou ga Miseta YumeDreams Brought by the Night’s Karma, with a 0.1% chance of encountering its death ending version instead.

Lyrics

One, bow when you cross the Torii.
Two, tread not upon the middle of the Sando.
Three, halt! Do not just ignore the Temizu-ya.
Four, oops, you just dropped your Omamori...and accidentally stepped on it!
Five, do not simply throw your Osaisen like that!
Six, and of course, you shouldn’t ring the bell so violently!
Seven, if this were any ordinary shrine, two-bows-two-claps is an acceptable choice. But try to at least maintain some form of composure.

Bestow upon me cleansing, bestow upon me purification, grant me thine divine protection and blessing.

Eight, it’s fine to say your prayers out loud. But this time’s an exception.

Please cure my father’s illness. Please cure my father’s illness. Please cure my father’s illness. Please cure my father’s illness. Please cure my father’s illness. Please cure my f-father’s illness. Please cure my father’s illness. Please cure my father’s illness.

Hey, woman.

Huh!? God!? Or...just a pervert...

(Translated by Defade)

Route Selection

Right Choice:
I don’t think that child will ever become happy in the truest sense if they were born at the cost of their mother’s life.
In fact, I don’t even want to see that happen.
If they were never born in the first place,
they wouldn’t get to enjoy anything,
but they would also never have to suffer.
Isn’t that the best kind of [happiness] there is?
