Poison Body ~ Forsaken Doll (4)

[0:37] (Medicine) Hey, what are you doing out here?
You should leave before I get mad
(Mystia) Ah! This doll Youkai's sitting in a field all alone

[0:47] (Medicine) Yes, this place has always been my home
Once more, how did you end up here?
(Mystia) I flew up to hit the roof, and it disappeared ♪

[1:14] (Medicine) Su-San seems to have overgrown
(Mystia) Huh? Can that doll get bigger?
(Medicine) No, Su-San is the lilies of the valley that grow here
Now, if you don't mind to, I'd prefer if you
Make like the roof you sang and disappear

[1:34] Your songs are not welcome out here
Don't birds get poisoned easily
Through the wings as they flap on by?
So you should leave well before you can no longer fly

[1:42] (Mystia) Harahorotia ~ It's getting harder to fly now
I've gotta run away! Out of this poison cloud!

[2:28] (Medicine) Still, Su-San seems like she's too big
She only started blooming
Last night after that wind came through like it did last fall

[2:39] Maybe this year will be
Filled with more poison meant for me
Well I guess I should just wait. Just wait and see

[3:06] Still, why did that bird come this way?
Should I extend the cloud to keep away
Anyone like her who wants to come here to play?
Yeah, I guess I'll send the fog out
Make sure that it is clear without doubt
That this field's off limits
So stay out of it

[3:24] Su-San, please keep growing
There are things poison may bring
I won't let anyone intrude on this home of mine
They will not survive coming here
Soon they will learn the proper fear
Of Su-San and her power held in a flower

Wind God Girl (4)

[0:18] (Bunbunmaru) Back on the trail, I knew my info was good at the time
That was because I found the rabbit's landlord at the shrine
She told me how her tenant's eyes may have caused a problem
Though I didn't understand right away what that fact meant

[0:42] (Aya) Wait, hold your fire! I come in peace!
It's just the press, here for the news
(Tewi) A success then! This launcher works fine!
Oh, so it's you
(Aya) Oh, you're that white earth rabbit that runs things in that forest of bamboo
Your moon rabbit friend's now looking for you

[1:21] (Tewi) Huh? What does Reisen want with me?
(Aya) Well she said that no one knew if you were going to leave
So then, her master sent her to get you soon enough
(Tewi) If she wants to then, I'll tell her good luck!

[1:45] Thanks for the tip, I'll deal with that once I am done setting up here
(Aya) What's this about? Does it happen to have anything to do with spring?
(Tewi) Probably not, unless Reisen did something weird with those red eyes of hers
But I don't think she could change the weather

[2:09] (Aya) So that rabbit has special eyes? They weren't that odd when we met
(Tewi) Well she probably was 't using their power yet
They're pretty cool. They can shoot beams and make people kinda insane
It messes with all kinds of waves. Even the ones in your soul and your brain
(Aya) Well that sounds pretty scary. So there's nothing to else that now comes to mind?
(Tewi) No, that's just about it (Aya) Onto the shrine!

[3:01] (Bunbunmaru) I searched the shrine for any sign that something was amiss
Fortunately, the border didn't seem to need a fix
Just to be sure, I checked if the shrine was in good repair
Other than dust, everything that was needed was still there

[3:25] (Tewi) Oh, hey you're back. So, how'd it go? Did you find what you're looking for
(Aya) Nothing much, just that Reimu has to clean more
Oh, what's this? I guess I can take care of it since she's out just for a bit
I'll leave the issue here so she'll find it

[4:04] Well, I guess my job is done here
By the way, do you need the ad to run this year?
(Tewi) No thanks, our stock's run low, and my next plan still needs some work
Though this box gives me a good idea

[4:29] But first there's still something to do. I gotta set up some new traps
And after that, I guess I should find some way to get Reisen off my back
There's no way I'm going to be back and work on such a lovely day
Mochi can wait for now. I want to play!

[4:53] (Aya) So we've got flowers, lost rabbits, and the shrine maiden missing now
It looks like they're all tied up as one somehow
I guess it's time to check the source and see what the flowers are like
Maybe I'll find something of note. Something that explains the flowery spike
(Bunbunmaru) The truth that I found out next may shock my human readers, but you must know
How these flowers are just like human souls

Phantom Ensemble (4)

[0:00] (Lyrica) We thank all for coming out to this concert
Today's performance is a special solo
Now hear our notes that can't exist 
1-2-3-Go!

[0:12] Today's theme is about spring and how the flowers are all on display wildly
Will they continue to grow out? Just wait and see!

[0:25] Unlike other performances that we've had
These notes don't need my power to not sound bad
What was that God-awful sound that just came up?
Please quiet down

[0:37] The best start for a spring song is a main theme
That's used to set up a flowery scene
Like a cherry blossom, Spurs may find their way to se
To describe youth

[0:51] Legato phrases connect all the dots
Though it must break off to sync with certain parts
It's used to call out curiosity
Describing a scene of fantasy

[1:04] It's punctuated by staccato notes
That may differ from the ones I may have wrote
The impulsiveness is a certain charm
With a mix of strength and alarm

[1:16] This is a shrine's maiden's song
Dealing with problems as they may come along
(Reimu) What the heck?! Are you sure that part is right?
(Lyrica) Don't you know that art copies life?

[1:28] This is part of the new spring
But I can't help but think it's missing something
Like that ice kid's careless mess
Falling down into each rest

[1:52] (Reimu) So you're just going to make up this new song
As you find people who will sit still for you?
(Lyrica) Yes, because there is no rush. This song is for the flower view

[2:17] (Reimu) Well, that's enough music now. I'm out of time
Just make a song that will bring faith to my shrine
(Lyrica) I think that's impossible. No one will come
Just because of a little jingle

[2:30] Well that's a good start, but still
There's something missing. Something more than a basic part A
I need to find another set so I can play

[2:41] I wonder if there's something that shows what spring
Is at its core? Something that I can study...
I'll need at least 2 more motifs, or maybe 3

[2:53] Wait, I heard fairies are part of nature's will
Maybe one can direct me for a bit
... But not that one that uses ice
That kid's stupid

[3:07] (Reimu) I wonder if Marisa's seen the ghosts?
I'd be a pain to fly to the Netherworld
Maybe I'll go check out by Eientei
To see what those people have to say
I still don't get why no one's freaking out
This spring's abnormal, that's clear without a doubt
It has to be big to change all of this
But they act like nothing is amiss
Culprit! You won't get away!
All of this nonsense has to stop today
I'm going to bring down your punishment
For causing another incident

[3:45] Really, did you have to make
A messed up flower view on the first spring day?
And while we're on that point, I have to ask
How did you manage that anyway?

[4:10] (Lyrica) There's a fairy! Hey there! What's up? How are you doing today?
(Lily White) Hey there! It's SPRING! (Lyrica) So more... Forte?

The Adventure of a Lovestruck Tomboy (4)

[0:06] (Marisa) So then, fairy. What are ya doing out here?
(Cirno) I am beating everyone up today!
(Marisa) Oh, is that right? How is that coming along?
Don’t tell me you’re gonna fight me, da~ze?

[0:18] (Cirno) First was a maid! Then this bird ran away!
Then that one ghost up there gave up and ran!
(Marisa) That’s quite the list. So then, I’m next to fight ya?
Yeah, that girl left. I guess that you’re not wrong
(Cirno) That’s because I am really strong!

[0:34] (Marisa) Well bring it on! Hit me with your best shot!
I wanna see everything that you’ve got
(Cirno) Okay! Don’t come crying to me if you can’t keep up then!
My ice will freeze you like English Beef, human!

[0:48] (Marisa) I meant to ask, what’s up with “English Beef”?
(Cirno) That’s obvious! It’s special frozen meat!
And now, you’re gonna be frozen again until you thaw!
Here’s my special spellcard now, [Icicle Fall]!

[0:58] (Marisa) That’s pretty neat, I don’t know what to do
(Cirno) You better get ready ‘cuz you will lose!
(Marisa) Oh no! Whatever shall I do against all of this snow?
(Cirno) You are just unlucky because I’m your foe!

[1:10] (Marisa) Here is my spellcard then, [Fantasy Seal]
(Cirno) That’s pretty weak. That attack’s no big deal
(Marisa) Oh no, how did that fairy manage to beat my attack?
I don’t think there’s any way I can fight back

[1:23] But my job is to defeat Youkai anyway
So I have to fight you on this day

[1:28] (Cirno) That can’t be all! This duel’s boring for a fight
Are you really that one famous “Black-white”?
(Marisa) Well, no. You see, I’m wearing this dress instead
I’m usually in something that’s White and Red

[1:40] (Cirno) Just like I heard, all humans are really weak
(Marisa) No, you’re just strong. The best fairy I’ve met
I bet ya could beat up anyone out there
Since ya beat me without breaking a sweat

[2:23] (Cirno) Beat you again! Aren’t I too strong, human?
(Marisa) Yeah, that’s enough. Nothing else I can do
I guess I lose. Ya can tell everyone that
Ya just beat me. Name’s Hakurei Reimu

[2:37] So then, what’s next? Are ya gonna take the shrine?
I won’t let ya! After all, it’s still mine
(Cirno) I can beat you, so that means I can take it
You should give up! I’m taking that place next
Because I am the very best!

[2:52] (Marisa) So, do ya really know which way to go?
(Cirno) …No, I’m still lost. Tell me how to get there!
(Marisa) Just fly above the trees and just head east, toward the sun
And don’t forget to say I lost to everyone

[3:03] (Cirno) Well don’t feel bad, you’ll do better next time
(Marisa) Hey, thanks a lot. I’ll keep that thought in mind
Good luck! Go show everyone how ya managed to win this
… Well, that’s done and Reimu’s gonna be so pissed

-heading for the shrine-
[3:16] (Cirno) Hey, there’s the road! I’m finally out of there!
And all those weird flowers are everywhere!
Reimu said to go that way, since that’s where the sun is now
I’m gonna take the shrine over, fair and square

-in the forest-
[3:29] (Marisa) I guess I’ll chill and see what else comes up
Maybe Eientei knows what’s going on
Oh, right! We’re gonna have a party later at the shrine
I better get some mochi before it’s all gone
And after all, those guys are all invited to
Though I guess they won’t hear from Reimu

-at the shrine-
[3:46] (Cirno) Hey, there it is! I am the shrine’s new owner!
Just like I said, I am the very best!
But this shrine’s so boring because it’s empty
What is that box? Is it a treasure chest?

[3:59] (Cirno) There’s nothing here. Just some leaves and some paper
That’s still boring. Is this a garbage can?
(Tewi) Is that Reimu? You came back way too early
Well then, there goes that “Perfect Pranking Plan”

Flowering Night (3)

[0:00] (Neutral) North of the village where humans lived peacefully
There was a sparrow that sung out clearly
When the scarlet devil’s maid came up upon here
Scaring her because she might cook her
Or if that wasn’t what she was going to do
Maybe she would go and attack her then
Causing trouble for the humans might get her to
Shoot her down right away again

[0:37] (Sakuya) So what are you doing out here? Might you be after humans?
(Mystia) N-no! I was just… I mean… maybe?
(Sakuya) Well, carry on then

[0:50] (Mystia) Huh? So you’re not going to stop me?
Or cook me for your  vampire?
(Sakuya) No, I’ve no need to do so
And there’s no space for a fire

[1:52] (Mystia) Aren’t you supposed to stop me?
After all, you’re human… right?
(Sakuya) No, that’s best left to our miko
Who always seems to love fights

[2:30] (Sakuya) It looks like no one’s here. Perhaps you should stay clear
of the humans before Reimu finds you?
If she sees you like this, you won’t get forgiveness
Who knows what she might think she would then do
Well, it’s time that I left. Maybe the village knows
Something that might lead to the flower’s source
Into that village seems like it would be the best
Place to try and set my own course

-near a clearing of flowers-
[2:43] (Mystia) So, I think the river’s this way
But these flowers all look new
And the white ones all smell funny
(??) Hey there, who are you?


-In the village-
[2:56] (Sakuya) Well, it seems that this is trouble
Reimu seems to have gone out
It seems like an incident has sprung up today without doubt

[3:57] I should see if Youkai mountain has made any peonies
Perhaps that shade of red blossom will make a decent tea

Wind God Girl (3)

[0:18] (Bunbunmaru) I chased that call to find a lunar rabbit that was lost
She was searching for her landlord, the Youkai Rabbit Tewi
And here’s a note from our sponsor, The Inaba Stand
“Colored Rabbits are still on sale as the public demands!”

[0:42] (Aya) Well hello there! Is there something I can help you with today?
(Reisen) I’m looking for a companion by the name Tewi
She’s an Earth Youkai rabbit with a white dress and a carrot necklace, by the way
(Aya) Oh, you mean that white rabbit that runs that place? Eientei?

[1:20] No, it doesn’t sound like she’s here
By the way, can I get a statement for something?
(Reisen) That’s fine. I was sent out to retrieve Tewi because she left
Without a note or saying anything

[1:45] (Aya) That’s interesting, but what I meant is; what do you think of this spring?
Some folks have said that it’s too odd to have so many flowers blooming
Both the witch and the miko are currently missing in action, so
I’m asking everyone what they may know

[2:10] (Reisen) Marisa and Reimu are gone?
What’s going on? Is this an incident?
If that’s the case, then I wonder where they both went
(Aya) So then, is there anything odd that you have seen that might reveal something?
(Reisen) A fairy went by earlier, shouting about the coming of spring
(Aya) Which way was that? (Reisen) She headed North
That was about one hour ago, so-
(Aya) Thank you for the info. I’ve got to go!

[3:01] (Bunbunmaru) I chased after the legendary fairy, Lily White
Rumor has it that she is what brings the springtime to life
Nobody knows where she lives during the other seasons
All that is known is that she may appear when spring has begun

-northward-
[3:25] (Aya) Excuse me there, miss Lily White
Do you have a moment to spare?
What do you think of all the flowers everywhere?
(Lily) Spring has come! Isn’t it fun that someone got the flowers to come out?
(Aya) …So you didn’t do this, without a doubt?

-in the bamboo forest-
[4:04] (Reisen) Tewi! Are you here? Come out at once!
Guess she’s not. Probably out on her “scamming hunts”
The fact Reimu is gone at the same time is troubling
Tewi’ll get hurt if they’re exterminating

[4:27] Tewi! Show yourself if you are here! Master sent me to call you back!
Don’t cause trouble for anyone! The miko is out and about to attack!
It looks like she is not here. Where in the world could she possibly be?
(???) Perhaps she hid because you’re too noisy?

-near the shrine-
[4:53] (Bunbunmaru) The spring was not the fairy's work. It was something more powerful
I knew that this meant that something would be trouble
With that in mind, I then turned back to head back to the empty shrine
With the hope that the miko had returned there in the meantime

(Aya) A dead end. Well, not really. I got some info that works perfectly
Reimu must be back now- (???) Heads up, tengu!

Mystic Oriental Dream ~ Ancient Temple (3)

[0:00] Deep in the netherworld, no flowers bloomed
Not as the witch assumed

-at the foot of the Ayakashi-
[0:48] (Marisa) A dead end, and no more clues
And I was sure that this tree would have done something new
(Youmu) Ah, Marisa. What brings you here? Is there something wrong this year?
(Marisa) Yeah, it’s weird out there
The flowers bloomed and now they are growing everywhere
(Youmu) Is that so weird? It’s now pring time
I’m sure that everything’s fine

[1:16] (Marisa) No, it’s not that they’re all there
It’s the way that every flower grew up overnight
I thought it might be you guys
But it really doesn’t seem too right

[1:29] Did ya guys keep some spring
Packed away until ya forgot and returned it now?
(Youmu) How would that even work?
You can’t store spring power anyhow

[1:43] (Marisa) Well can ya go steal it
Until everything’s normal? Just take a little bit
(Yuyuko) That won’t work. I’m afraid
These flowers aren’t the type that will fade

[1:56] (Marisa) Well, that sucks. What to do?
That was my soul reason to come here and bother you
(Yuyuko) Shame that this wasn’t it
But at least you have some more spirit

[2:10] (Youmu) Yes, it is quite a shame
(Marisa) … I don’t think she gets it (Yuyuko) Yes, that is just like Youmu
(Marisa) Well then, I’ll head on back
(Yuyuko) Happy hunting then (Youmu) What did I do?!

[2:24] (Yuyuko) Still, that is rather odd. This seems… nostalgic
I think I should know this…

[3:11] Ah, that’s right! So that was it!
Youmu, would you go out and investigate a bit?
(Youmu) Mistress, what am I looking for?
(Yuyuko) Just follow the flowers outside the door
I’m sure you’ll find a special thing
That pertains to this most lively spring
One final clue, a little hint:
This is not an incident

[3:39] (Youmu) Well then, I’ll be on my way
Mistress, I shall be back to make dinner right on time
(Yuyuko) Oh, there’s no need to do that
There will be a viewing at the shrine

-later-
[3:53] I wonder, will she see?
The pattern of this cycle that goes on endlessly
Can she see how the dead
Express themselves in their second life?

[4:06] (Youmu) “Just follow the flowers
When you cross the doorway, they will lead you on for sure”
Mistress, I won’t fail you
I will have something as an answer

[4:21] (Neutral) So the half-phantom left
Seeking something that her mistress already knew well
Would she find an answer
To her questions? Time would only tell
What was meant as “cycle”
What was the pattern that the Ghost Princess claimed to know?
What was meant by her clue
Describing what caused the flower view?

Spring Lane ~ Colorful Path (3)

[0:06] (Neutral) As the Shrine Maiden passed by the village, she set off a trap
From the trees beside the road, some flowers were thrown at her back
(Tewi) Well the Mark II Flower Chucker project Is a huge success
Though it seems like it could use improvement, the aim is a mess

[0:28] (Reimu) Hey there, Earth Rabbit; What do you think you are doing here?
Though I guess it’s obvious since your aim is pretty clear
(Tewi) Yeah, that’s a given. So are you lost then, miko?
(Reimu) No, I’m going to the mansion, but here’s a random foe

[0:52] (Tewi) Wait, hold your fire! (Reimu) Nah, this is punishment!
I will shoot you down until you will repent!
(Tewi) It’s the maid’s idea! She taught me this new snare!
(Reimu) So, it’s Sakuya? Scarlet Devil, prepare!

[1:18] (Tewi) That was close and kinda scary
She is just intense
Now I see why she’s a real shrine maiden
Now it all makes sense

[1:30] So the trap works, but it hits them too low
It needs to aim high
Guess it needs to go around the forest
To aim for the sky

-en route to the SDM-
[1:43] (Reimu) Alright, what’s the deal? It looks like Sakuya’s behind this
But it still doesn’t make any sense. What is that maid after?
That vampire can’t come out in day, so what gives?
What does she have to gain from a new springtime disaster?

[2:09] There it is ahead! Hey, gate guard, get the maid
I need to ask her what she has done today
(Meiling) Sakuya is out. She’s “gone to look for tea”
Is there a problem? (Reimu) There will be one from ME!

[2:34] (Lyrica) Hey you guys, how ‘bout a concert for the flower view?
(Reimu) It is too early to have a party. It’s still only noon
(Lyrica) Well that’s fine for now, I’m not quite ready. It’s still a new song
I’ll just have to practice in the meantime or else it’ll go wrong

[2:58] (Reimu) Anyway, gate guard, What is the maid doing for this “tea”?
I know that your mistress gets crazy ideas, but seriously
Making those flowers bloom in a flash is reckless
(Meiling) Wait, that’s not something Sakuya could do to cause this

[3:24] (Lyrica) If it’s the flowers, they’re on the mountain too
It doesn’t seem like something humans could do
(Reimu) Well then, that’s the cause? Maybe Marisa’s right?
(Lyrica) Doesn’t seem like it, I just saw the Black-White

[3:49] (Meiling) Anyway, I can’t let you in. Everyone’s sleeping
It’d be better for me if you two left until this evening
(Lyrica) Hey, shrine maiden, want an encore of when we last met?
This new song of spring is something special you will not forget

[4:15] (Reimu) Fine, I’ve got some time. I’m all out of suspect anyway
And it’s still something to do. So I’ll listen if you play
But where are those two? Don’t tell me that you are alone?
(Lyrica) Yeah, it’s just me. Today’s special is that I’m on my own

[4:40] The new song of spring, a poltergeist special
Everybody here, sit down, enjoy the show!
Watch me, Lyrica, play all the parts of three
This new performance is Illusionary!
