you have the makings of a good ghost.[1]

you don't seem to have a very long lifespan.

you're like Gulliver.[2]

you're like a morning glory.[3]

Yuyuko

あら妖夢じゃない。
庭の掃除は終ったのかしら?

Oh my, if it isn't Youmu.
Have you finished sweeping the grounds?

Hey, Yukari... Have you had a couple screws loose
in your head lately?[5]

あ~、今の全然駄目だわ。
もう一度再戦しましょう?

Ah~, that was horrible.
Another round?

Yuyuko

そんな地に足が付かない闘い方じゃあ……
まだまだね。

It'll... take a while before you can
fight with your feet off the ground.[7]

Yuyuko

幽霊って、何で幽霊って言うのか知ってる?
……そう。

You know why they call ghosts ghosts?
...Right.

Notes

  1. When we read this dialogue after another phrase — "fight with your feet off the ground" — and Reimu's ability "Capable of flying in the air", Yuyuko is technically snobbing Reimu to point out that she and her way of battle isn't well-grounded to see that her legs are in the air.
  2. You must remember Gulliver in country of Lilliput, Alice standing in legion of dolls.
  3. The name of morning glory's petal is "you" (), which consists of the names of Seven Luminaries or Patchouli's magic.
  4. The European umbrella was once called bat umbrella (蝙蝠傘 koumori-gasa). And of course Yuyuko should be remembering in her mind that Remilia can transform herself into a cloud of bats and she never goes out without parasol.
  5. Double meanings: Yukari's lookings get fat, and her personality gets mild.
  6. A pun of Suika and Suica, the smart card on train lines around Japanese capital city.
  7. There is a Japanese idiom "to be grounded" "firmly realistic"; lit."get one's legs on the ground" (地に足のついた chi ni ashi no tsuita). And it is a wordplay related to Japanese common sense of ghosts, they have no legs and floats above the ground.
