Wind God Girl (20)

-Iku enters-

[0:18] (Aya) Anymore news… No one wants to give me an exclusive
(Iku) Ah, a Tengu. I need you to spread a warning for me
(Aya) Yes, tell me more! The Bunbunmaru is at your service
(Iku) There will soon be a great earthquake that will come presently

[0:44] (Alright, got it. It’ll be sent out next along with my other posted updates
(Iku) Please act quickly before it may be far too late
(Aya) Worry not. My name is Aya Shameimaru and I’m the swiftest in Gensokyo
(Iku) Thank you. If that is the case, then I must go

-Iku exits-

[1:12] (Bunbunmaru) Now, we have an event update: The concert of the Prismrivers has run late
The leader of the group says that it’s due to their weather
“This doldrum helps out sound carry better”

[1:39] And now once more, the Bamboo Forest has been reported to fill up with steam
The leaders of the Rabbit Horn League have been busy cordoning off their borders
Asked to comment, Tewi Inaba said “We planned to send Reisen to solve the weather incident
But then Master’s weather showed up and made things worse”

[2:07] In local news, there has been movement from the famed Yama
She’s now judging the Tengu back home instead of the Kappa
I was recalled, but dismissed soon after without ado
And finally, there is a notice about urgent news

[2:34] It seems that there will be an earthquake that’s scheduled to happen later today
A messenger from above the clouds had this to say
“Be on guard for the earth shaking and exit your homes and buildings that may soon collapse”
Although that warning is clear, there are no facts

[3:02] Some possible causes exist. There are now reports of a growing scarlet mist
And there is a confirmed oni sighting this afternoon
There will be more clear updates posted soon

[3:29] (Aya) That should be good. Now I can say we aren’t slacking off in spreading our fame
Where off to next? Oh, I should track down and follow that oarfish, that one whatshername.
That Iku, the one from before. Maybe if I ask her for more details, I can learn more

Sounds like she went over that way, by Misty Lake

Septette for the Dead Princess (20)

[0:00] (Remilia) Words will not solve anything else. We shall battle until you submit!

[0:08] (Patchouli) Remi, you are being absurd. (Remilia) Silence criminal, not a word!
(Patchouli) Alright, so be it. This will be a test to see which method I have works best

[0:24] (Remilia) Let the record stand once again. The culprit is resisting arrest
(Patchouli) Let’s start with soybeans (Remilia) Sakuya just cleaned. You know that’s banned, as it makes a mess

[0:40] (Patchouli) Oni only kidnap at night, so let us try some sunlight
[Lumen Fire Sign: Solar Flare]
(Remilia) Even if you found my weakness, you will not escape justice!
I am Nosferatu’s sole heir!

[0:55] (Komachi) Seriously, is this how you guys kill time
(Sakuya) Yes, by mistress’ design
(Komachi) So this investigation: Was there really a big crime?

[1:13] (Sakuya) Not really. A girl stopped by and Meiling let her inside
As an unexpected guest, I served her the cookies as I thought it best

[1:35] (Remilia) Now then, I demand that you speak. Where are the bourbon balls I seek?
(Komachi) You know, I notice she’s inconsistent. What exactly is she looking for?
(Patchouli) It seems more research is required. I must return to me room to rest
(Sakuya) Mistress does not know what cookies I served. She forbade me from telling her more

-Patchouli exits-

[2:08] (Remilia) Sakuya, that was a dead end. Such a resolute phantom
She took that secret to her grave
We shall take afternoon recess. Sakuya, there’s been a mess
(Komachi) Looks like it’s rough as the chief maid

[2:22] (Sakuya) Would you like some tea during this break?
(Komachi) Wait, you’re done? That was too quick
(Sakuya) It was a sizeable mess, so I stopped time for a bit
(Remilia) Sakuya, shortbread cookies. Trials sure are tiring
(Komachi) If Miss Eiki was like this then there would never be a problem with slacking.

Broken Moon (19)

-Iku enters-

[0:09] (Iku) Eldest Daughter, there is something to report
And it concerns your actions up to now
… Hello? Is there anyone still around here?
(Suika) Yeah, yeah. Give me a sec, I’m coming out

-Suika enters-

[0:34] (Iku) You’re not a celestial. Why are you here?
(Suika) I won this space, so I built my own house
Come on in, we gotta share a drink or two
(Iku) I’m afraid I’ll have to decline for now

[0:40] Have you seen a girl around here with a peach upon her hat?
She may have gone to ground, but I have to find her now
(Suika) Oh, you mean that Tenshi? She left a few hours ago.
To fix the shrine that she just knocked down

[0:54] (Iku) Eldest Daughter fixing something? That is quite unusual
(Suika) And she took down a rock looking like this one right here
(Iku) She took down a keystone?! What is she trying to do?
(Suika) So you know what that thing is, don’t you?

[1:09] (Iku) Listen to me. Go warn everyone to take shelter right away
They are all in great peril. There will be a large earthquake
(Suika) Oh, calm down. Have a drink. Everyone will be fine
It’s not like they can’t take a little shake

-warnings-

[1:46] Well she’s gone. Really she could have stayed to drink
Yukari, come in. It’s code Red and Black
That keystone was really to make an earthquake
So I decided I would give it back

-gap opens-

[2:02] (Yukari) Alright then. So is the Oarfish heading down?
(Suika) Yeah, she is looking for the peach-hat now
(Yukari) Alright then. The shrine’s ground is now good to go
(Suika) I’ll be down in about an hour or so

[2:17] So about the payment for this new favor that you owe me…
(Yukari) This one has a nice smell, and the taste is quite hearty
(Suika) The bottle is pretty. Is this one from the Outside?
(Yukari) Yes, that is how they are usually

[2:32] Anyway, please keep an eye out for the celestial then
Is she gets a keystone, then who knows what might happen
(Suika) Something like that’s nothing. Yuugi shakes things even more
I don’t get what you’re all worried for

[2:47] (Yukari) Oh, have you heard? It sounds like there is something up with the vampire
She has been sending the maid to kidnap everybody
Yes, it’s made quite a scene. You’ve got competition
For the title of Gensokyo’s Oni

Timeline

Septette for the Dead Princess (19)

[0:00] (Sakuya) Mistress, you have a visitor. The Netherworld Princess has arrived

-Yuyuko enters-

[0:08] (Remilia) So you have come at last, phantom. Your servant needs much more training
(Yuyuko) No doubt about it, but still I posit that you found victory frustrating

[0:24] If little Youmu made you sweat, Yukari won’t have to fight you yet
(Remilia) Such pretty babble from such an insect. So then tell me, where is the suspect?

[0:40] (Yuyuko) Even if you planned to kill me, I won’t betray Yukari!
(Remilia) You don’t get a choice against Fate!
(Yuyuko) If you strike me down, I’ll return more powerful than before
And haunt your home till your last day!

[0:55] (Remilia) Pretty words, now back them up! I will rip out your tongue now!
(Yuyuko) If you do that, I can’t taste! (Remilia) Then that’s simply your bad fate
My court is now in session. Sakuya, start the record
(Yuyuko) This court is a giant sham! Justice will prevail! You will not get the last word!

[1:36] (Remilia) Another win against thieving! Bailiff, read the sentence to us
(Komachi) That part’s not my job. I take them away
The sentence is set by the court’s judge

[1:51] (Remilia) Where is your boss, the Gap Youkai?
(Yuyuko) I won’t tell you, I would rather die!
(Remilia) Then take her away! Sakuya, end there
(Yuyuko) This isn’t over, devil! You hear?!

-Yuyuko exits-

-Patchouli enters-

[2:08] (Remilia) Sakuya, was that recorded? (Sakuya) I’m afraid not, it ended
(Komachi) You can’t use it as evidence
(Patchouli) Remi, there’s a pink phantom who just went into the kitchen-
(Remilia) Then she needs to say it again!

[2:23] Pink one, I will get what I want! Tell me everything you know!
(Patchouli) … Come again? What’s going on? (Komachi) Just go along with the flow
(Remilia) I won’t tolerate lies here! Prepare yourself, defendant!
(Patchouli) This is really bothersome. Remi, I am astounded by what you do for fun…

Septette for the Dead Princess (18)

-Komachi enters-

[0:00] (Komachi) So vampire, tell me something: Have you said your prayers for today?

[0:08] (Remilia) Yes Sakuya, this is better. A decent sense of tense pressure!
And look at that scythe! That look is quite nice
So then, you’re with the criminal, right?

[0:24] (Komachi) If you mean Yukari, we talked. But really, that’s a mean thing to say
On the other hand, for Shinigami that kind of image might be okay

[0:40] (Remilia) I don’t care about your motive. There’s no way I will forgive someone who is clearly guilty
(Komachi) Oh, so this is a mock trial? I’m surprised by your style. But you’ve got nothing on Eiki

[0:55] (Remilia) In that case, I’ll learn a thing or two about catching criminals
(Komachi) That’s not the point of it all. That’s not part of a trail
(Remilia) Really? Then, what do you do? (Komachi) Pull out tongues and roast them up
(Remilia) Very nice, then that’s the plan! I will get a confession soon enough!

-quick fight-

[1:35] And like that, your tongue shall be mine! (Komachi) That’s just a metaphor, you know
(Remilia) It’s better that way. My food is not cooked, and tongues are chewy and distasteful

[1:52] So then, the Gap Youkai’s caper: Tell me what she wants with my crumpets
(Komachi) I meant that we talked about this right here. Your investigation of suspects

[2:08] (Remilia) So you’re only just a puppet like those that came before you?
Alright Sakuya, the next one
(Komachi) If you’re really that bored today, I don’t mind staying to play
This game of yours seems rather fun

[2:23] (Remilia) Sakuya, the next suspect! Then take your place there, bailiff
We shall have a proper trial until they are found guilty!
When we find the criminal, I trust you’ll take them to Hell
This court is now in session! There is no one who can take palmiers from me!

Flawless Clothing of the Celestials (17)

-Yukari enters-
[0:05] (Reimu) Yukari. Of course you’re be dropping by. Don’t tell me, you also want your clothes to dry?
(Yukari) Oh no, I’m here to address something else. So Celestial, that’s a nice try

[0:20] (Tenshi) For what? I’m just rebuilding Reimu’s shrine
It’s the price for the sins I have to atone
(Yukari) This shrine is much more important than that
I’m impressed that someone has the stones

-Yukari flattens the shrine with a train-

[0:36] (Reimu) Yukari! What the hell are you doing?!
(Yukari) I don’t think this is load-bearing
(Tenshi) No, it’s not! Well, there goes my master plan
(Yukari) Take this stone to the vault back home, Ran

[0:52] (Marisa) Hey, that stone: Is it really valuable?
(Yukari) In a way, it may be seen so
That Keystone would have caused a large earthquake
But I’m sure it was brought here as a mistake

[1:08] (Tenshi) Come on, it would have been hilarious
In a month, having everything topple down!
(Yukari) The Flawless Clothing of the Celestials…
And absurdly impractical gown

-Sakuya enters-
[1:24] (Sakuya) Excuse me. Shinigami, are you free?
My mistress wishes to see you presently
(Tenshi) The same mistress you mentioned earlier?
(Yukari) Oh, is this still related to me>

[1:40] (Reimu) Yukari, you’re helping to rebuild this!
(Sakuya) Yes indeed. My mistress insists
The target is phantoms and the deceased
(Komachi) So the little vampire’s after me?
-Sakuya,  Komachi and Tenshi exit-

[1:56] (Reimu) Sakuya- crap, she’s gone without helping
She has to be good for something
Wait a sec, where did the celestial go?
(Yukari) She crept off during that, so who really knows?


Septette for the Dead Princess (17)

[0:00] (Remilia) Sakuya, clean up the poison. (Sakuya) Mistress, there is someone at the door…

-Youmu enters-
[0:08] (Remilia) So it’s you. That is a surprise. You’re not guarding the pink glutton?
(Youmu) I was placed outside by Miss Yukari. So I assumed I had to come in

[0:24] (Remilia) So she’s realized I’m on to her. But someone like you will not deter
My impeccable investigation. There’s no avoiding what will happen

[0:40] (Youmu) I don’t believe I understand, but your boasts are out of hand
For the glory of my Mistress!
(Remilia) Sakuya, just keep on cleaning. So, ready for a beating?
This spear, [Gungir], has never missed!

[0:55] (Youmu) The things that my swords cannot cut are understood to be none!
(Remilia) You’ll have to do much better if you want this to be “fun”
Face a [Certain Kill: Heartbreak]! (Youmu) [Slash of Eternal Future]!
(Remilia) Better, but still amateur. If you want to be a challenge, you’re best bring more!

[1:35] (Youmu) [Konpaku: Dharma Gumanji Wisdom of the Living and Dead]!
(Remilia) Congratulations, that’s quite the hassle. [Scarlet Sign: Red the Nightless Castle]!
-Yukari and Yuyuko gap in-

You look like you’re on your last legs. Perhaps it’s time you admit defeat?
(Sakuya) Mistress, behind you. (Yuyuko) There you are, Youmu!
(Yukari) Midboss Konpaku, time to retreat!
-Yuyuko and Youmu exit-

[2:08] (Remilia) Gap Youkai, is that all you’ve got? Come, hit me with your best shot!
I will retrieve my Macaron!
(Yukari) Oh, is that what your guest had took? (Remilia) You will pay for this, you crook!
(Yukari) I’m afraid they’re already gone

-Yukari begins to exit-
[2:23] And with that, farewell till next time
(Remilia) Sakuya, next one in line . That was just an underling, so everyone else is fine
The phantoms are in cohorts, so bring that Shinigami
We’ll attack their supplier (Sakuya) As you wish, I will go and retrieve Komachi
