Chen ENTERS

Chen

ここで遭ったが百年目

今日は憑きたての

ほやほやだよ!

Finally, we meet again.

Today, I have now become...

freshly and newly possessed!

Reimu

どの辺がほやほや?

Which part of you is new, then?

Chen DEFEATED

Reimu

あの世くんだりまでやってきて

目標が居なかったら退屈だわ

If I'd traveled all the way to the land of the dead only to find what I was looking for wasn't there... That would totally suck.

???

おお?これは珍しい

Oh? This is rare.

Ran Yakumo ENTERS

すきま妖怪の式
八雲 藍(やくも らん)

Shikigami of the Sukima Youkai
Ran Yakumo

Ran

こういう人間もこんな所にいるんだ

They have people like this here too.

Reimu

こういうって何よ

What do you mean "like this"?

Ran

見てのとおり
赤かったり白かったりで目出度い人間

Like you.
Happy sorts clothed in red and white.[2]

Reimu

猫の次は狐・・・
何時からここは畜生界になったんでしょ

First a cat, and now a fox...
When did this place become the Animal Realm?

Ran

あ、お前が橙に酷い目に遭わせた
人間だな?

Ah, so you're the human who gave Chen a hard time?

Reimu

そうだっけ?

What if I am?

Ran

橙は私の式神

今は回復して、もっと強くなっているわ

Chen is my shikigami.

She has recovered, and grown stronger than before.

Reimu

・・・強かったっけ?

って、あんたの式神?
あんたが式神じゃないの?

... She was supposed to be strong?

Wait, she's your shikigami?
Aren't you a shikigami yourself?

Ran

私も式神

ご主人様はまだお休みですわ

Indeed I am.

My master is still asleep right now.

Reimu

やっぱり、あんたが目標ね

Ah. So you're the one I'm looking for, then.

Ran

何か用?

For what?

Reimu

冥界と顕界の境を修復・・・
って

よく考えたら

直接用があるのは、あんたの使い手
のような気もしてきた

Repairing the border between the Netherworld and our world...
And...

Come to think of it

For that to happen...
I've got to talk to your master.

Ran

ご主人様は冬眠中ですが

My master is hibernating.

Reimu

起こして

Wake her up.

Ran

私は護衛でもあるわ

私の式神に酷い目を負わすような人を
ご主人様に会わせる訳が無い

ここは、今度は強くなった橙に
やられるがいいわ

I am also her guardian.

I have no intention of allowing
troublemakers to meet with my master.

Now, you will meet your end at
the hands of a strengthened Chen...

Reimu

猫なら、さっき遭ったけど・・・

If you mean that cat, I met her just now...

Ran

なんだって?
それでどうなったのよ

You did?
How did that go?

Reimu

特に何も無かったかの様だったわ

It was nothing special.

Ran

まぁ、橙は病み上がりだから

Well... but she was still recovering...

Reimu

さっきは、回復したっていってた癖に

Didn't you just say that she'd already recovered?

Ran

ここは、私が橙の仇を取らなきゃいけない
みたいね

...Looks like I have to take revenge for her now.

Reimu

さすがに、式神を倒せば

使い手も冬眠から目覚めるかしら

Just as I expected.

Defeat a shikigami, and maybe its master will wake up...

Ran

ご主人様は、春眠も暁を覚えずよ

In spring, my master sleeps a sleep that knows no dawn.[3]

Reimu

まあ、取りあえずは
目の前の障害から

Well, in the meantime, there's a more immediate obstacle around.

BGM: 少女幻葬 ~ Necro-Fantasy

BGM: A Maiden's Illusionary Funeral ~ Necro-Fantasy

Ran

私は橙とは桁が違くてよ
色々と

I am many orders of magnitude different from Chen.

Ran Yakumo DEFEATED

Reimu

式神風情が巫女に敵うと思って

Did you think that a shikigami could stand up to a shrine maiden?

Ran

私の式が通用しないなんて

騙したわね~

How could my formulas have failed?[4]

You cheated, didn't you?

Reimu

なにを?

What?

Ran

てっきり人間だと思っていたのに

I thought for sure that you were only human.

Reimu

人間だってば

ともかく、折角だから
あなたの主に会わせて貰おうかしら

I am human.

Anyway, for all my trouble,
you will introduce me to your master.

Ran

紫(ゆかり)様は、まだおやすみ中だわ

My master, Yukari, is still sleeping...

Reimu

まだ、って何時になったら
目が覚めるのよ

もう、十分に春じゃない

"Still", you say. When will she awaken?

Spring has already arrived in full.

Ran

紫様は冬も昼間も寝ているの
こんな時間はまだ起きていない

She sleeps through winter and all day.
It's still too early for her to wake up.

Reimu

もう夜の帳も落ちる頃の様な気がして
ならないけど・・・

I think it's already pretty close to dusk...

Ran

私達にとって、本当の宵闇はこんなもん
じゃないの

人間が寝る時間が、本当の夜なのさ

For us it isn't.

When humans go to sleep, that's what we consider the true night.

Reimu

いいから、起こしてよ

Whatever, wake her up now.

Ran

といっても、紫様はここにはいないし~

But she isn't here~

Reimu

こいつはただの倒し損?

So, I shot you down for nothing?

Ran

ただのやられ損?

って、あなたの目的は何?

And I was shot down for nothing?

So what are you here for anyway?

Reimu

えーと、冥界に迷惑な奴がいて、
そいつが誰かの使い魔だから・・・

あ、目的はあんたを倒す事ね

Well, let's see.
Disturbance in the Netherworld, someone's errant shikigami...

Oh yeah, I'm here to punish you.

Ran

しゅ~ん

Awww...

Phantasm

 
The Border Between Youkai and Humans

人妖の境界

The Border Between Youkai and Humans

Phantasmagoria.

She was also living on the border of Gensokyo.

三國に渡り妖異をなすが

A mysterious occurrence on the crossing to three countries[1]

BGM: 妖々跋扈 ~ Who done it!

BGM: Spiritual Domination ~ Who done it!

Ran Yakumo ENTERS

Ran

また来たの?

今日はもう疲れたし

そろそろ寝ようと思っていたのに

You again?

I'm tired today.

I was just about to go to sleep...

Reimu

約束通り、夜に来たわ

As promised, I have come at night.

Ran Yakumo DEFEATED

Reimu

そろそろ、本命が出てきてもいい頃だわ

こんなにも闇が深いし

It's high time for the truth to emerge.

The night only gets so dark.

???

出てきましょうか?

Shall I emerge, then?

Yukari Yakumo ENTERS

???

ほら、出てきました

Look, I'm here now.

Reimu

あ、丁度いいところに出てきた

Oh, perfect timing.

神隠しの主犯
八雲 紫(やくも ゆかり)

Mastermind Behind the Spiriting Away[5]
Yukari Yakumo

Yukari

あなたが、私の藍を倒した人間ね

あなたみたいな物騒な人間が居たら

おちおち寝ても居られないの

You are the human who defeated my Ran?

Knowing that dangerous humans like you exist keeps me from sleeping soundly.

Reimu

全然、起きてこなかったじゃない

Even so, you sure took your time getting up.

Yukari

今は起きているの

そんなことより、あなた・・・

Well... I'm awake now.

And you...

Reimu

はい?

Yeah?

Yukari

博麗神社のおめでたい人じゃないかしら

You are the happy person from Hakurei Shrine, are you not?[2]

Reimu

前半はそうで、後半はそうじゃない

Basically yes, while I'm not quite sure what you mean by "happy."

Yukari

博麗の結界は、北東側が薄くなっているわ

あのままだと、破れてしまうかも知れない

The Hakurei Barrier is weakening along the north-east.

If left alone, it might wear out completely.

Reimu

あらそう、それは危険だわ
わざわざ有難うございます

Oh, that's dangerous.
Thanks for letting me know.

Yukari

いえいえ、私が穴を空けてみただけです

No, no, you see, I'm the one trying to tear a hole in it.

Reimu

って、引き直しておきなさい!

Well then, go fix it!

BGM: ネクロファンタジア

BGM: Necrofantasia

Reimu

所詮、妖怪は妖怪

妖怪の始末も後始末も、人間がやる
ことになるのね

After all, youkai are youkai...

Beating them down and cleaning up afterwards
has to be done by a human.

Yukari

あら、あなたは気がついていない?

Oh, haven't you noticed?

Reimu

?

Yukari

今、ここ白玉楼の私の周りは

妖怪と人間の境界が薄くなって
いることに

ここまで来た時点で、人間の境界を
越していることに

Here, in Hakugyokurou where we stand,

the border between youkai and humans wears thin.

You came this far, and were able to cross over from the human side.

Reimu

いいから、その境界も引き直して
もらうわ

元々、目的はあんたに冥界の境界を
引きなおさせること

そこに来て、一つや二つ結界が
増えても変らないでしょ?

Well then, go fix it now.

It was my intention to make you fix it from the start.
And since you'll be doing that anyway...

Having to fix an extra barrier or two
won't make much of a difference, right?

Yukari

一つや二つ・・・

結界は、そんなに少ないと思って?

An extra barrier or two...

Do you think that there are that few?

Yukari Yakumo DEFEATED

Reimu

さーて、約束通り仕事して
貰おうかしら

Now then, as you promised, get to work.

Yukari

言われなくてもするつもりだったのに

I was going to do so even without your demands...

Reimu

嘘ばっかり

何時まで経っても、起きてこなかった
じゃない

Liar.

How much time went to waste while you were lazing off?

Yukari

それは、寝ていたからだわ

That's because I was asleep.

Reimu

それは当たり前

Obviously.

Yukari

とにもかくにも、私がここにいる時点で

ちゃんと仕事しようとしている
証拠じゃない

Either way, I'm here now and I'm awake.

That is proof enough that I have the will to work.

Reimu

仕事をしようとしている、と
仕事をしているは違う!

"Willing to work" and "getting work done" are entirely different!

Yukari

神社にまるで居ないあなたより

よっぽど仕事していると思うけど

Compared to a shrine maiden who's rarely in her shrine, I think I'm getting plenty of work done.

Reimu

私の仕事は妖魔調伏

残虐行為手当が欲しいくらいだわ

Exorcism is my job.

I should receive hazard pay for my work.

Yukari

あら、もうそろそろ夜が明けるわ

帰って寝ないと・・・

Oh, it's almost dawn.

I have to return home and sleep...

Reimu

全然、仕事してないし

あんた、一体何処に住んでるのよ

So all in all, you did exactly nothing.

Where on Earth do you live?

Yukari

私もあなたと同じ

幻想郷の境に住んでいるわ

艮(うしとら)の境に

The same place as you.

At the edge of Gensokyo.

Along the north-eastern edge.

Reimu

まさに鬼門

勝手に結界に穴を空けたりしないでね

That's a very ominous direction.

Don't you dare tear a hole in the barrier.

Yukari

あら、闘う前に私が空けた、って
いいませんでしたか?

Oh, didn't I say that I already had, before we fought?

Reimu

帰って寝てろ!

Go home and sleep!

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 This refers to the White-faced Golden Fox of Nine Tails, a fox spirit disguised as a beautiful woman, bringing chaos to China, India, and Japan. In Japan, this fox is known as Tamamo-no-Mae.
  2. 2.0 2.1 The word 目出度い (medetai) usually means simply "happy," "auspicious" or "propitious," but it's also used sarcastically sometimes, like "too good-natured" or "airhead." I selected "happy" for the translation this time; think of "trigger-happy" or "slap-happy."
  3. The first line of the well-known Chinese poem by Meng Haoran, "A Spring Morning." It was previously quoted in Stage 1 in the main story.
  4. 式 (Shiki) can both mean a shikigami and formula.
  5. Spiriting away: term for "divine kidnapping", a folk legend for missing children.
