The last track from this album! This… actually seems to link quite heavily to the first track. The perspective seems to shift between Reimu and Akyuu throughout the song. Both appear to express their concerns about Kosuzu (referred to as 娘, musume, sang as ko), and how she may forget she is human. Honestly, after translating this track, I’d like to go back and revise my translation of the first track, since this one appears to act as a sort of prequel.
歌詞
特別な世界と特別な人と
何も不思議じゃない普通の人間と
憧れでもなくて羨みでもない
限りなくゼロに近い気持ちだけ
それっていつだって
人って忘れてくから
傷つかないように
守っているだけなのかも
しれないね
例え明日がこなくても
わたしは続いてく
この先も傍に居る
そう思いながら
眠りにつくの
好奇心が強くて物怖じしないで
誰にも優しくて少し利己的な娘
ここで生きてくこと ルールを守れば
難しくないよ 不安はあるけど
もし君がいつか
人の敵になっても
大丈夫だから
わたしもあのひともいる
覚えてるよ
例え世界が崩れても
平和は続くから
わたしの中のあの娘を
ずっと生かしてたい
生きてる限り
普通の人間だけど普通じゃない
わたしと似てる君を見守りたい
例え二度と目が覚めなくても
記憶は繋がる
わたしじゃなくなるけど
わたしでいるから
例え明日がこなくても
わたしは続いてく
この先も傍に居る
そう思いながら
眠りにつくの

Translation
Living in a special world, with that special someone,
With nothing out of the ordinary, as an ordinary human.
This isn’t longing. It isn’t envy, either.
It’s just a feeling that is close to an endless ‘zero.’
That is, at any time
You may forget you are a human.
Because of this, perhaps I just protect you
So I will not be injured.
Perhaps…
Even if, say, tomorrow did not come:
I would continue on
By your side, afterwards.
Whilst thinking that,
I fall asleep.
That slightly selfish young girl was treated well by all.
Her curiosity grew stronger, and she was not cowardly.
If you follow the rules, living here
Isn’t so hard. Though I have some reservations…
If, someday,
You become an enemy of humans,
It’s okay!
That person and I are here.
Remember this.
Even if, say, the world crumbled away,
Peace would continue.
So, I want to let that girl inside me
Live, always,
As long as I am alive…
Though you are an ordinary human, you are not ordinary.
You, who resemble me – I want to watch over you.
Even if, say, I did not open my eyes again,
Our memories would be connected.
Though I would no longer be ‘me,’
I would be ‘me,’ so…
Even if, say, tomorrow did not come:
I would continue on
By your side, afterwards.
Whilst thinking that,
I fall asleep.
