Shoutoku Legend ~ True Administrator (9)

[0:33] (Miko) Have at thee!
(Miko) Oh, this is quite a surprise. Tell me, who are you?
(Miko) I’m a hero of legend, the Prince Shoutoku
(Miko) Fascinating. You know, truth be told
That happens to be the same title I hold

[0:45] (Miko) It’s a strange place, this Gensokyo
But there’s still a proselyte that remains your foe
(Miko) No deception, bizarre or not
Will deter me from restoring hope!

[0:56] (Miko) By what power still unknown that you imitate me
Will not help you mimic the might and light of my
Sword and my own true self’s flawless technique!

(Miko) Not so fast!
You think that that’s good enough? Blindly rushing in
And expecting your infamy to hand you a win?
Just restore all the hope that was lost?
That is simple thinking and far beneath you!

[1:40] (Miko) Be as it may, there is no recourse
It is the divine mandate to rule with force
When the people need someone to lead
I can accept that it might be me

[1:52] (Miko) Isn’t that arrogance, hubris, false pride in your being?
(Miko) No, only wisdom. Now then, en guarde false one!
Bask in the light and you will soon agree
Your desires betray you for I cannot sense them
You are not my shadow. Have at thee!

-Miko disappears. Mamizou appears-

[2:32] (Mamizou) Well met my prince. I’m impressed
Introductions then? I’m the leader of the Tanuki, Mamizou
(Miko) The Tanuki? Well, that does make sense
Your desires do not match those in Gensokyo
Apologies for that rude display. I merely thought you
A phantom set in my path
I’m a hermit, passing on my way
Who was once the ruler of Japan

[2:55] (Mamizou) Well now, your demeanor’s not said to be this friendly
“Talking without hearing” is the most common one
(Miko) Well, your desires are much harder to see

[3:28] Your demeanor resembles someone that I met
Shall I tell you the story behind my vestments?
There was a man I met by a road
Who was a mystery long after his death

[3:39] (Mamizou) A mystery? Sounds like a neat trick
(Miko) It was no trick. This unmoved grave had no body
And the earth was undisturbed at all
(Mamizou) Sounds like he was just a Tanuki

[3:51] You see, a mystery means there is something you missed
You sent a servant to handle the burial
How did you know that the body exists?
Likewise with the village, it’s not a mystery

If you were to go to it now and see

The Traditional Old Man and the Stylish Girl (9)

[0:05] (Ichirin) Why you! Panicking all of these people
I won’t stand for the chaos you are causing, so stop it
(Mamizou) Nah, sounds like it’d be more fun to play
Since I’m not busy, shall we entertain ourselves for a little bit?

[1:06] (Ichirin) What’s the reason? Why are you causing incidents?
Tell me, Mamizou!
(Mamizou) Oh, that’s easy. There’s a Youkai in the village
It seems she has to go

[1:26] (Ichirin) I don’t believe you! There’s nothing to do with this
(Mamizou) It’s the truth. If you don’t believe me, then go to the village and do as you wish

[1:36] (Ichirin) As if I would bother.
(Mamizou) That’s a shame. Byakuren had much more faith than both of you
Well, it can’t be helped then
I’ll give you a target to pursue!

[2:17] (Mamizou) It seems that I have finally lost them
I hope that they might end up out there with that
Now, who shall I become for now? Ah, yes
That will suffice…
(Miko?) It is assured that victory soon shall be mine!

[2:49] (Ichirin) Where’d she go now? Excuse me, did you see
Someone pass through here with a big tail?
(Kokoro) Oh, another monk. Yes, someone just went through here
But her clothes turned purple

[3:12] (Ichirin) She transformed once again? Does her deceit know no bounds?

Unzan, come! We will not rest until that Tanuki is found.

A Popular Location (9)

[0:00] (Futo) Where hast she gone to? Tell me, Kappa,
Hast thou seen a prince?
A person of divine majesty
And a regal countenance?
(Nitori) Do you mean that fool with a stick in hand
And one somewhere else?
Went that way, and I hope that she stays away, cause she smells

[0:16] (Futo) Insolence! Thou hast gone too far!
Now beg foregiveness!
(Nitori) You stink too. Maybe it’s just a thing about you Taoists
(Futo) [Ame-No-Iwafune]! Thou shall silence thine tongue
(Nitori) Seriously, where the heck did she pull that boat out from?

[0:33] Oh well, it’s not my problem. Bye! [Optical Camouflage]
(Futo) The rude Kappa’s left, it seems. Now, the crown prince is…
You there! Youkai, what is that way? Did the Princess head out there?
… Why hast I been shouting out? There is naught here
How strange, but irrelevant
This path must be where she went
Mayhap it was the Kappa? 
That must be the thing I saw

[1:37] (Nitori) Alright, let’s take inventory
Wait, something doesn’t add up
I know I had one more mask out in the shop
Well, the till is sorted out
But was there a customer?
Someone must have bought a mask. 
I can’t remember

[1:53] Oh well, a sale is a sale
It’s time to pack this up and go
Let’s see, where haven’t I gone during the festival?

Oriental Dark Flight (9)

[1:10] (Marisa) Hey Reimu! Come on out! You won’t believe how fun this is!
Everyone is fighting for popularity
Hey, you there? Come on out! You know that you can’t ignore me
If you don’t come out now, I’m gonna start blasting!

[1:23] (Youkai 1) Here we go. There’s the witch
Guess we’re gonna see a rematch
(Youkai 2) You would think that she’d get the point after two fights
(Marisa?) Wait a sec, a “rematch”? Then those guys back there set me up!
Even if it’s a prank, something like that’s not right

-Seal triggers. Reimu enters-

[1:47] (Reimu) Why am I not surprised? That seal’s been there for 10 minutes
But I guess that’s not really weird in Gensokyo
(Marisa?) Wait, I’m not Marisa! It’s a big misunderstanding
You gotta believe me-
(Reimu) Yeah, I already know

[1:59] (Marisa?) Then can you undo this? I was gonna get out of here
(Reimu) Sure I can, if you pass a message to your boss
(Marisa?) To the boss? A message? Well, I guess that’s not a problem
(Reimu) [Yin-Yang Orb]! Tell your Tanuki buddies “Get Lost!”

[3:16] Alright then, new seal time
At least these ones restrict movement
Gotta see if there’s some way to seal off the sound
Couldn’t hear what she said. Well I guess it’s not important
Seriously, why do they keep coming back around?

[3:25] (Marisa?) “Pass it on. Seriously”. Well, I guess if it’s an order
At this point, it just feels like we’re fooling around
But still it’s from the boss, and I passed the message to her
If I didn’t pass it on, I’d never live it down

[3:49] (Youkai 3) Wait a sec, this ain’t right! You guys saw the result, didn’t you?
I bet the witch would win when she fought the miko
But now the papers say that she lost without an attack
Whoever wrote this crap has got to be real slow

[4:01] (Youkai 2) I bet the bets are rigged so the results change completely
If that’s so, then who’s fighting and winning for real?
(Youkai 1) There’s one way to find out. Come on, to the Myouren temple

Then we’ll see if the battles there are the real deal.

Akutagawa’s Ryuunosuke’s “Kappa” ~ Candid Friend (8)

[0:07] (Nitori) Profits from Myouren are going down
Did something happen to those two monks now?
Maybe I should switch my wagers to
Someone representing another group

[0:21] (Miko) Oh, what’s this? It seems rather popular
You there! The Kappa Youngster!
Why have these Youkai gathered around here?
Are they observing someone?

[0:35] (Nitori) Where have you been? Of course they are
They’re watching out for a duel
Do you live under a rock? Wait, who are you?
(Miko) I’m the strongest leader around. That must make it clear to you
(Nitori) Sorry, but I don’t have a clue

[0:49] (Miko) Ah, now I see. A test of strength
A shame that it is futile
If might makes right in Gensokyo, then I shall win
(Nitori) Yeah, still don’t know who you are now
Anyway, a new wager
Myouren seems like it’s going down

[1:03] (Miko) Perhaps a demonstration of sorts
Is needed to heed my strength properly
Kappa! Who appears to lead right now?
I’ll fight them to show my supremacy

[1:31] (Nitori) Honestly, the Myouren’s were
But both of them went missing
And everyone keeps bothering me, since I fought them
(Miko) Ah, then I’ll start by fighting you
If you’re truly confident
(Nitori) You stink. I’ll make this a quick duel

[1:46] You smell just like a Tanuki
No, it’s something even worse
I think that you need a good bath. [Water Bomb Swing]!
(Miko) Inelegant. Senseless force can’t
Make the people bow to you
Now let’s see then. What shall I do?

[2:26] Even a wave won’t stop me
[Benign Rainbow the Shining One]
(Nitori) Well at least you smell better now. Seriously
Even ignoring the corpse smell, someone you know really stinks
My eyes still can’t stop watering

[2:54] (Miko) The Kappa youngster has retreated
To make light of Taoist rites so crassly…
(Nitori) My bets are placed, so let’s get to work

And find somewhere people aren’t so stinky

The Legend of Great Gods (8)

[0:35] (Futo) So it hast begun. The approach of a villain
Have at thee! I shall not yield!

[0:40] (Marisa) So I guess the riots came here? I thought this temple was sealed

[0:44] (Futo) Yet thou hast stolen into mine presence?
There is naught but the assurance that thou seeks war

[0:52] (Marisa) Hey, wait. You haven’t heard me out
No, really, that isn’t what I came here for!


[1:20] (Futo) So thou spoke the truth. Then why hast thou come?
If not for selfish conquest?

[1:24] (Marisa) You’re asking me now? After all that?
What a way to treat a guest
I’m here to ask Miko about something
Where is she anyway? I didn’t see her around
(Futo) Hast thou been inside the temple already?
Thou knows that we would not take that lying down!


[2:37] (Marisa) So then, where did Miko go? I’m asking her if she can work on a job
(Futo) She has gone above to participate
In the tourney spoken of

[2:46] (Marisa) Oh, neat. So my job is pretty much done
Hey, there’s not any chance that you would go and help too?
(Futo) Indeed not, I shall await her here
Until the Crown Princess returns shortly

-Marisa exits. Seiga enters-


[3:21] (Seiga) Are you sure it’s fine letting her go like that?
She managed to steal a lot
(Futo) Thou should not worry. After all, thou hath countered all she hast wrought
(Seiga) But still, it seems like she got off easy
You know that we moved the mausoleum to be alone?
It is rather troublesome to see her here
Oh well, it’s not like I don’t get into her home~
