Faith Up! (Marisa 3)

[0:01] [Master Spark]! The Black-White witch has claimed a win!
Victory has given her faith and the crowd follows her faction
Magicians rule and other factions drool
Danmaku’s about power and I got it

Faith Up! (Reimu 4)

[0:01] Point for the Shinto. Hakurei Reimu takes victory!
For defeating a Buddhist, the faith favors her faction

Fight for the favor of the crowd that’s gathering now!

The Traditional Old Man and the Stylish Girl (4)

[0:00] (Ichirin) Okay, let’s see. The newspaper says here’s where she’ll be

[0:06] (Marisa) Hey there, it’s puffy-beard and nun-lady!
(Ichirin) Pardon? Oh, you’re that one magician, the Black-White one
By chance, have you seen Byakuren around?
(Marisa) Maybe she has done something bad. Far as I know, she has left the town

[0:27] (Ichirin) We’ll have to ask that you explain that. What do you know?

[0:33] (Marisa) Ask them. There was a boring sermon, until I came
And took care of it in the practical way.
So, you’re also Buddhist too? There’s something to do
You guys better fight back. Right, everyone! Here is round 2!

[1:26] (Ichirin) Ah, a crowd gathered. So this is what this is about
(Marisa) All the faith will be given to the winner, so attack me now or get out

[1:36] (Youkai 1) So, it’s the witch again. Who’s she fighting?
(Youkai 2) One of those Buddhist priestesses
(Youkai 1) Ah, from the Youkai Temple. I was hoping for one of those new Taoists

[1:46] (Marisa) [Star Sign: Satellite Illusion], go!
(Youkai 2) Crap, take cover!

[2:13] (Ichirin) Alright, that’s it. Come on, Unzan! Now, [Iron Hammer]!

[2:18] (Youkai 2) Doesn’t this battle seem dangerous?
(Youkai 1) No kidding. I’m gonna go over there until they’re finished
(Marisa) Aw, they’re starting to run away. Well,
I guess that’s good enough. I should move on too and raise some hell

[2:50] (Ichirin) Where’s she going? That is not what I expected
Leaving so soon seems quite fishy

[3:00] Ah, I forgot. Where’s Byakuren? I’m looking for her too
(Youkai 1) She fought the witch a bit before you

[3:11] (Youkai 2) She left here that way after the fight was finished
(Ichirin) Thank you. Then, we must hurry to her, Unzan. She ought to know the culprit behind this mess

-Back at the temple -

[3:22] (Nue) Geez, what’s with Ichirin? All I said was Mamizou went out
(Shou) She left behind the paper. So I guess that this is what that was about?

An Unpopular Location (4)

[0:00] (Reimu) Let me guess: the news. So why are you here?
I’m too busy today
(Byakuren) Is that so? Then you don’t really care if somebody takes your faith?
(Reimu) They are free to try. The shrine’s here to stay. So you should go away
I don’t have time to listen to you and it’d be a waste

[0:18] (Byakuren) Can it be that you forgot me? The mighty Byakuren?
(Reimu) Seriously? It’s not like you guys are trying anymore
Have you guys even met Byakuren? She’d never act like that
Go away. What did you even come here for?

[0:33] (Byakuren?) Well, not for a certain reason.
We thought you should get involved
There’s a tiny incident
That should be resolved

[0:40] (Reimu) If it’s the paper, I’m not interested
I’ve got some real work to do
Now, if you would move along, I won’t shoot at you

[0:48] (Byakuren?) Alright, I’m going already
(Reimu) Just great. So now there’s Tanuki
At least most of them are lazy
And the trick is easy to see

-elsewhere-

[1:05] (Mamizou) So how goes it with the Hakurei Shrine?
(Byakuren?) Yeah, she’s not buying it
(Mamizou) That’s a shame. Well, we might as well try
That saint with all of those hermits
Try again later. We might need Reimu
If this gets dangerous
(Tanuki) For humans, or do you mean for Youkai like us?

[1:21] (Mamizou) Uncertain, but be on your guard. We shall be vigilant
(Tanuki) Got it boss. I’ll send orders along to everyone else at once
(Mamizou) I guess I should move out myself. I thank you for your help
Moriya… is not getting involved, so try someone else

[1:37] (Tanuki 1) The boss is good at management
No wonder she was called in
(Tanuki 2) Well, she’s as strong as that hermit
(Tanuki 3) Hey, start transforming!

[1:45] We’re supposed to follow Marisa
Sounds  like she’s taken the bait
(Tanuki 2) Alright, I’m just picking a form
(Tanuki 3) Well, don’t make us wait

-???-

[1:53] (Yuyuko) Ara~, they’re pretty organized
(Yukari) Of course. It’s not a surprise
She’s used to leading tanuki
(Tanuki 3) “Alright, we’re ready. Follow me!”

Today’s Front-Page Headline (3)

[0:00] (Bunbunmaru) Bringing you the recent news, this is Bunbunmaru!
The fastest news is Gensokyo!

[0:06] “A fight broke out in the town square, the black-white witch was there
Attacking the Buddhist leader today”

[0:11] “Sources say there was a sudden fire around the human village much earlier”

[0:16] “Reports say words were exchanged first before the fight began
And combat was engaged in ‘flashy’ ways”

[0:22] “No one was found to be responsible, but a Kappa cart was salvaged nearby”

[0:27] “Many witnesses report that the fighting had stopped when
the witch seemed to claim that she got bored”

[0:32] “Strangely, no one there saw an altercation, despite many reports of the fire”

[0:38] “The monk has left the area, but the witch is still there
Reportedly attacking everyone”


[0:42] “For now, there are several of those other Tengu going around asking questions”

Akutagawa’s Ryuunosuke’s “Kappa” (3)

[0:07] (Nitori) Kawashiro Trading Company!
The finest of Kappa Technology!
I guess the Tengu rumors were true
The humans are all acting lazy too

[0:21] Special Sale! Some carved wooden masks because you guys should look lively!
No takers? I guess this place is a bust
Come on, all you guys are killing me

[0:35] We stock all things like cucumbers and standard issue arm sets!
Classis masks for festivals! Come and get them!
You! Masked Youkai! What will you buy?
Our wares are not a joke
There is something that you want, I hope

[0:49] (Kokoro) A mask of hope? So you found it?
I’ve been looking for it!
So it was right here all along? Give it to me!
(Nitori) Hey, not so fast. You gotta pay money for all my goodies
This stall is not a charity, see?

[1:03] (Kokoro) That person’s scary
(Nitori) Hey, your face changed
(Kokoro) But I need my mask of hope back, don’t I?
(Nitori) Your face keeps changing. It’s kinda neat
(Kokoro) Hey, wait a second. Isn’t that mask mine?

[1:17] And if that’s the case, then can’t I kill her and take it?
And that means that I don’t have to be scared!

[1:24] (Nitori) You can try it. I guess you’re an old-fashioned Youkai
But a Kappa vendor is not small fry!

[1:31] (Kokoro) [Angry Mask: Angry Wolf]
(Nitori) So those are not just for fun
[Great War Beneath the River]! Not good enough!
(Kokoro) I’m getting back my mask of hope! [Possession Sign: Four Humors]!
(Nitori) Well, this customer’s real tough

[1:44] Hands off the wares! You asked for it! Eat a [Photon Torpedo]!
(Kokoro) I won’t rest until you give me back my mask!
(Nitori) No bartering! Prices are set and all sales are final!
[Water Bomb Giant Swing]! Think fast!

[1:59] I’m kinda surprised everyone’s calm
I guess that a human would stay away
…Isn’t this the part when Marisa
Would dive bomb me and say “Not this one, ze!”?

[2:12] (Kokoro) My Hope Mask! I want it, so give it here!
(Nitori) Only with money up front
(Kokoro) I searched so long, and finally I found it
(Nitori) What is she doing with that lion?

[2:27] Ah? That’s not good. My stall is wood
Hey, cut that out right this instant!
Even the crow Tengu aren’t this persistent
(Kokoro) Ah! It’s burning! Give it to me!
(Nitori) I’m not falling for that trick
Go, [Kappa: Spin the Cephalic]!

[2:40] (Kokoro) It flew away
(Nitori) Someone should pay
(Kokoro) My mask! Is it still in here?
(Nitori) Crap. That lion is dangerous. I should retreat
(Kokoro) Why are these all plain wooden masks?
Where is my mask of hope then?
Wait, did that one mask seller leave?

[2:54] (Nitori) I need another stand that’s not wood
And another plan for some cheaper goods
A weaponized mask sounds like it’d be cool
No customer will play me for a fool

[3:22] (Kokoro) It’s not in here. Then where is it?
My Mask of Hope is lost!
I have to find it soon at any cost!
I know I lost it around here. Where could it have gone so soon?
Where was I yesterday afternoon?

Over Too (A Touhou Parody of "Think of You" by Chris Young and Cassadee Pope ft Reimu and Marisa)

(Marisa) You know, things just don't feel right
You remember those old fights?
New people and all new faces
But somehow I feel like she should be in this place

(Reimu) You're just crazy, there's no doubt
If you ask me, we're better off without
Just think of her Hell-raising
Just one evil ghost, you know they're the same

(Marisa) She used to be a part of the party
(Reimu) The small shrine used to suffer because of her
(Marisa) She's the one who taught me cool attacks
(Reimu) That's a reason she should never come back
(Marisa) it's like there's always an empty space
(Reimu) I'd say there are some things that should be erased
(Marisa) She was pure awesome just like I am now, so Reimu
I wish Mima carried over too

Remember her favorite plan?
She wanted to take over the shrine
(Reimu) That's why sealing old ghosts is fine
We both lost count of all those stupid times
We had to fix what she started
The old shrine was flattened all because of her
And she kept saying she’d get payback
(Marisa) You know, I think that was just an act
(Reimu) She always hung out around this place
I’m getting mad just thinking about her face
(Marisa) You know, I helped her and you know that you miss her too
I wish Mima carried over too

(Reimu) I would never say something like that
(Marisa) Come on, admit it Reimu
(Reimu) Mima can just stay in the past.

(Marisa) She used to be a part of the party
(Reimu) She used to be a nuisance, that much is sure
(Marisa) You know, I still use her old attacks
(Reimu) Well that’s close enough, so don’t bring her back
She always hung out around this place
I’m getting mad just thinking about her face
(Marisa) You know, I liked her and you know that you miss her too

I wish Mima carried over too

Emotional Skyscraper ~ Cosmic (3)

[0:00] (Byakuren) Marisa, a pleasure to see you
(Marisa) Well, guess we'll see. So, have you read the paper?

[0:10] (Youkai 1) I heard that we're going to defeat the humans
(Youkai 2) Is that why the witch has come here?
(Youkai 3) I heard that Moriya Shrine has decided to hide
So they will not interfere

[0:19] (Marisa) Do you think I should be worried about what they're saying?
It looks like they might start an incident
(Byakuren) I am trying to avoid that. They must see devotion
But it is difficult at present

[0:28] (Marisa) I wonder. Care to put on a show?
It might help to see a little reminder of a person's power
I'm talking about a little contest

[0:38] (Byakuren) It's a little unusual, but if you want a mock duel
Then I will indulge you if you insist
(Marisa) Alright, "For freedom from suffering "?

[0:43] (Byakuren) Well, I see that you learned something from that discussion from last year
(Marisa) But maybe I'm not on your side. Maybe all the suffering
Is coming from the people around here
No one wants to hear a sermon if a fight is brewing
It's a mood kill that no one likes
(Byakuren) They should embrace the Dharma's light
(Youkai 1) Would you two hurry up and just fight?!

[1:12] (Marisa) Alright then, you want light? Then here it comes!
[Master Spark]! Just kidding, it's [Blazing Star]!
(Byakuren) [Durgu's Soul] The virtue of endurance and patience is made self-evident
When you escape inner torment
(Marisa) [Rising Sweep]! [Witch Ley Line]! [Strato Fraction]!
(Byakuren) [Pestle Sign: Vajrapani's Incantation]!
Is there any reason that you're calling out attacks that aren't full spellcards?
(Marisa) Cuz it's awesome. Now, are you done?

[2:06] (Byakuren) The crowd's response... Ah, I see your purpose
I had hope the situation would not cause this

[2:15] So, do you stand for Shinto? I am not sure if they will give faith to the Hakurei Shrine
(Marisa) That part's not important. I'm doing this for me
Besides Reimu will be fine
(Byakuren) But if this is not for Reimu, what do you seek to do?
A human cannot use faith energy
(Marisa) Well if I said, that'd be telling. So are you gonna fight
Or lose all your temple's faith to me?

[2:33] (Byakuren) I see then. You won't yield to reason?
(Marisa) Hey, you guys should know me. Let's do this big or go home.
Witch's faith or the temple?
Are you sure you can keep up? You're too slow

[2:44] Now, [Magic Sign: Blaze Army]
Any last words you should say?
(Byakuren) [Virupaska's Eyes] Well it is a shame, but
Know I hold no malice

[2:48] (Marisa) Whoa, that was a surprise
Where did it all go? I was sure that some of that would get you anyways
(Youkai 1) Did you guys see what just happened? She cancelled the fire! And it was even from that crazy witch
(Byakuren) Something like this is used often among our troublemakers
When they get too rowdy or start fighting our visitors
(Marisa) Well, let's test it. What do you say?

[3:18] Alright, so I can see where the spell starts
But I don't get what you're doing...
(Byakuren) Something like this is a product of our devotion, rejecting destruction
Through discipline, we awaken

[3:36] (Marisa) Gotta say, it looks cool. So how's that work?
(Byakuren) We embrace the life of an ascetic
(Marisa) Oh, that monk stuff? No thanks, there's just something so awesome about cool possessions
I think I'll stick with pure power
