Doll of Hourai

	蓬莱人形	Doll of Hourai
	満月の下の、草木も眠る丑三つ時。人間と妖怪の肝試しは、いったい何を恐れる？最大の大罪の犠牲者は、いったいどこに居る？	Under the full moon, even the plants are asleep in the dead of the night. Just what is there to be afraid of in this human and youkai's trial of guts? ^[1] Just where is the victim of the greatest sin?
	BGM: エクステンドアッシュ　～蓬莱人	BGM: Extend Ash ~ Person of Hourai
	Keine Kamishirasawa ENTERS
Keine	待っていたぞ。満月の夜にやってくるとはいい度胸だ。	I've been waiting. You've got some guts, challenging me on the night of the full moon.
Reimu	これが肝試しの肝？	Are you the "guts" in this trial of guts?
Keine	あの人間には指一本触れさせない！	I won't let you lay one finger on that human!
	Keine Kamishirasawa DEFEATED
Reimu	なんだったのかしら。確かに妖精たちが騒いでいる様だけど……。	I wonder what that was about. It does feel like the fairies are pretty rowdy tonight...
???	今夜の月は、また一段と強い。妖の者が騒ぐのも無理が無いわね。	The moon tonight is especially strong. It's no wonder that all the creatures are rowdy, really.
	Fujiwara no Mokou ENTERS
???	こんな夜に出かける馬鹿者も居るんだねぇ。	So there are even fools who'd go out on a night like this, huh?
Reimu	誰？	Who's that?
???	お前だよ。	You, obviously?
Reimu	いや馬鹿者の事じゃなくて。	No, I'm not asking who's a fool.
Yukari	馬鹿者ってところは認めるのね。	So you're admitting to being a fool too, then.
	蓬莱の人の形藤原妹紅	Figure of the Person of Hourai Fujiwara no Mokou
Mokou	私はずっとここに住んでいる人間。今ここに居るのは馬鹿だからじゃないよ。	I'm a human who's lived here for a long time. I'm not here because I'm a fool.
Yukari	人間？人間ねぇ。	A human? A human, huh.
Reimu	この竹林の持ち主か何かかしら。	Maybe she owns the forest or something.
Mokou	で、目的は何？　お馬鹿さん。	So, what are you doing here, fools?
Reimu	肝試し。	A trial of guts.
Yukari	肝とか色々試し。	And of various other things.
Mokou	なんと肝試し！ああ、何時から人間はこんなに馬鹿になったのかしら？こんなに狂おしい満月の丑三つ時に、こんなに妖怪が沢山出る処まで来て、事もあろうか肝試し！妖怪に殺されなかったのが不思議ね。それに死んだら、妖怪達に生き肝を喰われる肝試しなんて――	What! A trial of guts!? Oh, since when have humans been this foolish? You come all the way out here in the dead of night, with this lunatic full moon, and tons of youkai out, for a trial of guts, of all things!? It's a miracle that you weren't killed by youkai yet. A trial of guts, seriously! If you die, it'll be your guts the youkai will feast on---
Yukari	言われ放題よ。霊夢、何か反撃しないの？	She's just babbling. Reimu, any counterattacks?
Reimu	いやまぁねぇ。肝試しったって、輝夜がほれいけ、やれいけって言うからさぁ。	Ehh, well. We're just having this trial of guts because Kaguya was saying 'hey, go on out there,' so...
Mokou	今なんて？輝夜って言った？	What was that? Did you say "Kaguya"?
Reimu	言ったっけ？	Um, did I?
Yukari	か・ぐ・や、言ったわ。	You certainly uttered "ka―gu―ya".
Mokou	むきー！肝試しなんておかしいと思ったら、やっぱりあいつの仕業なのね。そうか、今度はこいつ等をけしかけて私を始末しようとしているな？あいつったら、いっつもいっつも私を始末しようとして！全く、こんな不便な体にしたのはあいつじゃないの！	Rrrgh! I figured your trial of guts was suspicious. Of course she'd be behind this. Yeah, she goaded the two of you into getting rid of me this time, didn't she? She always, ALWAYS tries to do away with me! Argh, and wasn't she the one who gave me this inconvenient body in the first place!?
Reimu	なんか、一人で盛り上がってるわね。	Huh, she's getting all worked up on her own.
Yukari	ほら貴方も便乗しないと損よ。	See? If you don't take advantage of this, you'll lose.
Mokou	ふん、輝夜の使いがどれほどのもんなのか見せて貰おうか。あいつが遣したって事は、あいつよりは強いんでしょ？	Hmph. So, how about I see for myself just how strong you messengers of Kaguya's are? If she sent you, you must be more powerful than her, right?
Yukari	強気な人間ね。私みたいな妖怪相手にそこまで強気な人間なんて、３人位しか知らないわ。	How brave. To think that there'd be a human brave enough to confront a youkai like me. I only knew three others like that. ^[2]
Reimu	でも、人間相手に戦うのはちょっと気乗りしないわね……	I'd kind of rather not fight another human, though...
Yukari	何言ってるの。魔理沙は余裕でのして来たじゃないの。	What are you saying? You were fine fighting Marisa, weren't you?
Mokou	私を普通の人間だと思うな。私は死なない。絶対に死ぬ事が無い。あのにっくき輝夜の所為で。そうよ、いくらあいつが私を始末しようとしても、どだい無理な事。あいつはそれが判ってて使いを遣して来る。腹立たしいにも程があるわ。	Don't go thinking I'm some ordinary human. I won't die. I'm completely unable to die. Thanks to that lousy Kaguya. Yes, no matter how hard she tries to eliminate me, it won't do her any good at all. She knows that, and she still sends you messengers. This cannot get any more annoying.
Yukari	ほら、霊夢。また乗り遅れてるわよ。	Look, Reimu. You missed another opportunity.
Reimu	よく分からないけど。死なないって事は、思いっきりやってもいいって事？	I still don't quite get it. But if she won't die, that means I can go all-out on her, right?
Yukari	中正解ね。絶対に死なないのが自慢みたいだし。	More or less. Although it looks like the "completely unable to die" part is just her being full of herself.
Mokou	思いっきりやらなきゃ、貴方の人生ゲームオーバー。もう戻り橋にも戻れない、一方通行の丑三つ時。	If you don't go all out, it's game over for your life. There's no turning back now. It's a one-way street in the dead of night.^[3]
	BGM: 月まで届け、不死の煙	BGM: Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke
Mokou	お望みどおり。貴方達の肝、試させて貰うわよ。	Just what you wanted. Allow me to test your guts.
	Fujiwara no Mokou DEFEATED
Mokou	あーれー。強すぎるぅぅ。	Ohhh man. You're too strong...
Yukari	あらほんと、まだ生きているわ。ほんとに死なないのね。	Wow, look, she's still alive. She really can't die, huh?
Reimu	最初は何度も死にかけて頼りないからびっくりしたわよ。ほんと。	I'm seriously surprised. It looked like she was about to die a bunch of times.
Mokou	痛い痛い、死なないけど痛い～。	Ow, ow! I won't die, but it still hurts~.
Yukari	霊夢、この娘面白いわ。	Reimu, this girl is quite interesting.
Reimu	いや、痛がってるのを見て面白い言うのはちょっと。	Er, looking at her in pain and saying "that's interesting" is a bit, uh...
Mokou	こんなに強いんじゃ、肝試しもへったくれも無いじゃない。	If you're this strong, there's no point to a trial of guts, is there?
Yukari	そう？私だって怖い物も色々あるわよ。	Really? There's still various things that I'm scared of.
Reimu	まんじゅうとかでしょ？	Like manju?
Yukari	そう、あの丸いフォルムが大きな蟲の卵を彷彿させて、そして中のあんが……	Yeah, they're shaped like giant insect eggs. And then that jelly inside is like...
Mokou	いやぁぁ。まんじゅう怖い。	Oh noooo. Manju are so scary. ^[4]
Reimu	それはともかく、肝試しはこれで終了かしら？	Well, anyway, is our trial of guts finished?
Yukari	あれ？そう言えばまだ肝を試していないわね。	Oh? Now that you mention it, we haven't tried any guts yet.
Reimu	？	?
Yukari	ほら、目の前の人間の生き肝。霊夢、貴方が掻っ捌いて確認しなさい。	See? The human in front of us is full of guts. Reimu, you cut out her guts and give them a try.
Mokou	ひぇぇ。死なないけど怖い。	Eeeek. I won't die, but that's scary.
Reimu	なんで私がそんな妖怪じみたことしなきゃいけないのかしら？	Why on earth should I have to do something so youkai-like?
Yukari	あら、不老不死の人間の生き肝を食せば、貴方も不老不死になれるわよ。	Well, if you eat an immortal person's guts, you'll become immortal too.
Reimu	というか、人間やめるのはちょっとねぇ……	That said, I'd rather not stop being human, y'know...?
Mokou	あら酷い。私は人間じゃないって言うの？	Oh, that's mean. Are you saying I'm not human?
Reimu	人間……、なのかな？よく分からないわね。まぁどうせ、今の幻想郷は人間なのか違うのか判らないような連中ばかりよ。いまさら、魂を入れる器の違いなんて大したもんじゃないのかな？	Are you human...? I don't really know. Well, in any case, Gensokyo is full of things that you can't tell are human or not anyway. I guess it wouldn't matter much these days if the container for your soul is different.
Yukari	でも博麗の仕事は妖怪退治。それは妖怪差別かしら？	Youkai extermination is the duty of the Hakurei, though. Would that be youkai discrimination?
Reimu	前言撤回。妖怪は退治されるもの。人間は退治するもの。これは動かせない約束事ね。これからも私は、妖怪を退治するわ。	Okay, I take that back. Youkai should be exterminated. Humans should do the exterminating. It's an unshakable contract we have. I'll keep exterminating youkai from now on.
Yukari	大・正・解。	Right you are.

Notes

↑ "肝試し" is a Japanese tradition of going out to somewhere scary, such as a forest at night or an abandoned house, in order to "test your guts", or see just what it takes to scare you(and other people). You can watch it on chapter 4 of Oriental Sacred Place. The translation "trial of guts" works well for the puns that the characters later make.
↑ She's referring to Reimu, Marisa, and Sakuya. They are the three playable characters against her when she first appears as a enemy in Perfect Cherry Blossom.
↑ "Ichijou Returning Bridge" (一条戻橋, Ichijou Modori Bashi). In Heian period, the bridge crossed on the border of area of Heian Capital, i.e. on the border of real world and netherworld. The legend shows the derivation of the name ― When a scholar of Classical Chinese philosophy, Kiyotsura Miyoshi died, being carried in a coffin towards the graveyard, his son rushed from the distant temple to the funeral line, and clinged to it at the bridge; he recovered from death and came alive again. You can see this topic at Keine's spell card at EX mode.
