A wiki note beginning with a question mark indicates a tentative translation. "Stage directions" and descriptions of the dialogue portraits accompanying lines are given in square brackets. ZUN's art is pretty bad in this game, so it's sometimes hard to tell what emotion a dialogue portrait is supposed to depict; in these cases the description is accompanied by a (?).

Stage 1

	`msg1.dat.jdiff`

Reimu	`#0@60`[This] is [my] first job in a while.
Reimu	`#0@60`This is my first job in a while.* Feels nice. *This sentence is in the game data, but is not displayed in-game in the Japanese version.
Reimu	`#0@61`There are always so few evil spirits coming out during the daytime, so I tried going out at night, but...
Reimu	`#0@62`I don't know where to go. It is dark out... ([sweatdrop])
Reimu	`#0@83`but... ([sweatdrop])
Reimu	`#0@84`It's so romantic out behind the shrine grounds at night. (←carefree)* Yes, that's an arrow pointing to her dialogue portrait. ([nonchalant smile])*
	Rumia enters
Rumia	`#0@124`So it is! Monsters come out too; It's wonderful. ([nonchalant smile])
Reimu	`#0@135`Wait, who are you? ([sweatdrop])
	`#0@135`Youkai of Twilight <c$Rumia$Youkai of Twilight>
Rumia	`#0@136`Didn't we meet just now? Are you perhaps night-blind? (Translating 「鳥目」 as "night-blind" rather than "bird-eyed" because the Japanese word does not literally mean "having the eyes of a bird". The bird meaning is relevant to Reimu's and Yukari's conversation with Mystia in Imperishable Night, but not here.)
Reimu	`#0@137`People can't see well in the dark places. (Statement shifted from passive to active voice.)
Rumia	`#0@138`Ah? I feel like I've seen people who only do things at night. ("I feel like..." instead of "I have a feeling that..." because the latter connotes a suspicion or hunch, which doesn't seem appropriate to this context. [irritated forehead vein])
Reimu	`#0@139`You may eat* them if you like. 取って食べる, totte taberu, "to prey upon", lit. "to seize and eat". ([nonchalant smile])*
Rumia	`#0@140`Is that so?* 「そーなのかー」, sou nano ka?* Rumia's fandom-notorious catchphrase. ([excited smile])
Reimu	`#0@141`So, you're being an obstacle. 邪魔, jama, "obstacle", "disruption", "bother", "nuisance". Hence: "Out of my way, pest!"
	♪ Ghosts' Night Travel
Rumia	`#0@142`Is the one before my eyes the sort of human you can eat? 取って食べる again. ([excited smile])
Reimu	`#0@143`Do you know the saying, "good medicine is bitter?"* Proverbially, that good advice is difficult to accept. ([nonchalant smile]* [Boss battle begins.])
	Rumia defeated
Reimu	`#1@60`But even if it's called good medicine, ([cheery smile])
Reimu	`#1@60`you wouldn't know for sure unless you downed* it. 飲む(nomu), Lit. "drinking". ([cheery smile])

Stage 2

	`msg2.dat.jdiff`

	Daiyousei enters
	Daiyousei defeated
Reimu	`#0@60`Was this lake always this big? (Sense of 「かしら」 communicated by the interrogative mood. [sweatdrop])
Reimu	`#0@61`Visibility in the mist is an awful bother. 困った, komatta*, "to be a problem", "to inconvenience".
Reimu	`#0@62`Perhaps I have no sense of direction? ([sweatdrop])
	Cirno enters
	♪ Beloved Tomboyish Girl
	`#0@92`<c$Cirno$Ice-Spirit of the Lake Surface> Cirno* チルノ, Chiruno. Speculated to derive from the English word "chill". Eastern and Little Nature Deity* spells her name "Chilno", but this was corrected to "Cirno" in an erratum.
Cirno	`#0@92`If you lose your way*, it's the fairies' fault. Lit. "stray the path"
Reimu	`#0@93`Ah, indeed? Then, would you please guide me? There was an island around here, wasn't there? ([cheery smile])
Cirno	`#0@94`Come on, you, be properly surprised! Is there a strong enemy* before your eyes? ([irritated forehead vein])
Reimu	`#0@95`A target? She is a surprise! (This is a tricky one, but hopefully there's enough "Hah!" in Reimu's line here to get across the contemptuous nuance of こいつ. [nonchalant smile])
Cirno	`#0@96`You're mocking me~! ([irritated forehead vein])
Cirno	`#0@97`Why you-- I'll deep-freeze you together with some English beef!! Possibly a reference to the mad cow disease scare, given the game's release date. ([irritated forehead vein] [Boss battle begins.])
	Cirno defeated
Reimu	`#1@60`Ah, it's gotten cold. ([sweatdrop])
Reimu	`#1@60`I'll catch the air-conditioner cold! ([sweatdrop])

Stage 3

	`msg3.dat.jdiff`

	Hong Meiling enters
???	`#2@60`Damn it, time for the backwater formation!* Figuratively, a last stand. A reference to the Battle of Jingxing, where General Han Xi positioned his forces against Tao River and successfully fought off the invading Zhao forces. ([Midboss battle ends.])*
Reimu	`#2@180`Are you a "formation" by yourself? ([stern -- a sort of fighting stance. It's also shown whenever Reimu uses her spell card.] [Play resumes.])
	Hong Meiling exits
	Hong Meiling enters
???	`#0@60`Don't follow me!
Reimu	`#0@61`Thanks for showing the way~
	`#0@62`<c$Chinese Maiden$Hong Meiling> Hong Meiling* In kanji, 「紅美鈴」. There was formerly much debate in the Japanese fanbase as to the pronunciation of her name: in Japanese the characters read Kurenai Misuzu, and in Mandarin, Hong Meiling. The latter was confirmed in the music room. The character 「紅」 (lit. "crimson", "scarlet") appears in the name of the game (東方紅魔郷) in accordance with the Touhou* tradition of including one girl in each game who shares one kanji of her name with that of the game.
Meiling	`#0@62`Ah, you've followed me, but there's nothing here, is there?
Reimu	`#0@63`You wouldn't run away to a place where there's nothing? ([nonchalant smile])
Meiling	`#0@64`Well, when you're running away, you're just thinking of running away. ([raised eyebrows, slight frown])
Reimu	`#0@66`By the way, who* are you? 何者, lit. "what person"; can also be interpreted "what sort of* person". ([sweatdrop])
Meiling	`#0@67`Er... a normal person. ([raised eyebrows, slight frown])
Reimu	`#0@68`Didn't you start attacking me earlier? ([irritated forehead vein])
Meiling	`#0@69`Ah, I attacked normally, but you attacked first. ([irritated forehead vein])
Meiling	`#0@70`You're the abnormal one. ([irritated forehead vein, Reimu briefly switches to sweatdrop])
Reimu	`#0@71`I'm a normal person who is a shrine maiden.
Meiling	`#0@72`That's good is it...
	♪ Shanghai Alice of Meiji 17
Meiling	`#0@74`...rumor has it that shrine maidens are a type of human it's okay to eat.
Reimu	`#0@76`Don't spread that rumor! ([sweatdrop] [Boss battle begins.])
	Hong Meiling defeated
Reimu	`#1@61`Well then, I'll have you guide me. ([cheery smile])
	If playing the demo
Meiling	`#1@63`There is nothing beyond this, as this is the demo version. ([This message displays in the demo version only.])
Reimu	`#1@64`Well, it can't be helped. ([This message displays in the demo version only.])
	If playing the full version
Meiling	`#1@62`I'm sorry, Mistress! お嬢様, ojou-sama, "young lady". Respectful and in this case deferent word for a young woman from an honored family. ([weeping(?)])

Stage 4

	`msg4.dat.jdiff`

	Koakuma enters
	Koakuma defeated
Reimu	`#0@60`Are there no windows in this house?
Reimu	`#0@61`And was it this big when viewed from the outside? ([stern])
	Patchouli Knowledge enters
	♪ Locked Girl ~ The Girl's Locked Room
???	`#0@92`You there in red and white!
???	`#0@93`No roughhousing in my study. ([exasperated(?)])
Reimu	`#0@94`Study? (Red and white?) ([sweatdrop])
	`#0@95`Girl of Knowledge and Shade* <c$Patchouli Knowledge$Girl of Knowledge and Shade> *i.e., shelter from the sun
Patchouli	`#0@95`These books have value as much as five years' worth of offerings to your shrine.* A Shintou shrine's upkeep is paid for by offerings from shrinegoers. ([reading a book])*
Reimu	`#0@96`We've had no shrinegoers all year. ([stern] ? Does 年中無休 refer to the shrine? The visitors? "We've been open all years, but had no shrinegoers"?)
Patchouli	`#0@97`Well, then they're not worth that little. (? I'm assuming she's referring to the books, but I could be wrong.)
Reimu	`#0@98`Anyway, can you really read books and such in a room this dark? ([sweatdrop])
Patchouli	`#0@100`I'm not night-blind like you. ([exasperated(?)])
Reimu	`#0@102`I'm telling you, I am not night-blind! ...er. ([irritated forehead vein])
Reimu	`#0@104`...well, never mind. Are you the lady of the house* here? ご主人, goshujin(also written as 主人, shujin), "head of a household" ([sweatdrop])*
Patchouli	`#0@106`What is your business with the mistress*?
Reimu	`#0@107`I'm troubled by the excessive fog. ([stern])
Patchouli	`#0@108`Well then, I absolutely can not let you meet with the mistress.
Reimu	`#0@110`I will not let you get in my way.* In the Japanese, this sentence,「邪魔させないわ」 (jama sasenai wa, "obstacle" + "not allow" + fem. emphatic sentence ender), mirrors Patchouli's previous utterance, which ends in 「合わせないわ」 (awasenai wa, "to meet" + "not allow" + fem. emphatic sentence ender). Reimu is being highly impertinent here. ([stern])*
Patchouli	`#0@111`... by the way, who are you? ([exasperated(?)] [Boss battle begins.])
	Patchouli Knowledge defeated
Reimu	`#1@61`Anyway, why didn't this mansion look so big from the outside? ([nonchalant smile])
Patchouli	`#1@62`There's someone in the house who likes messing with space. ([weeping(?)])

Stage 5

	`msg5.dat.jdiff`

	Sakuya Izayoi enters
???	`#2@60`Aah, the cleaning isn't getting anywhere! ([stern(?)])
???	`#2@150`The mistress will be mad at me!! ([stern(?)] [Midboss battle begins, after which she flees and the level resumes.])
	Sakuya Izayoi exits
	Sakuya Izayoi enters
???	`#0@60`You're getting in the way of my cleaning again... ([stern(?)])
Reimu	`#0@61`You... don't seem to be the lady of the house here. ([sweatdrop])
	`#0@64`Maid of Scarlet Devil Mansion <c$Izayoi Sakuya$Maid of Scarlet Devil Mansion> In kanji, 「十六夜咲夜」.
Sakuya	`#0@63`What is it? A guest of the mistress?
Reimu	`#0@65`(She probably won't let me pass if I say that I came to defeat her mistress.) ([sweatdrop])
Sakuya	`#0@67`I will not let you pass. ([stern(?)])
Sakuya	`#0@68`The mistress does not often meet with people. ([stern(?)])
Reimu	`#0@70`Is she under house arrest?
Sakuya	`#0@71`The mistress likes dark places.
Reimu	`#0@72`But a non-dark person like you is also fine. (??? [irritated forehead vein])
Reimu	`#0@73`You're the ones spreading fog all around this area, right? ([irritated forehead vein])
Reimu	`#0@75`It's a real bother, you know. What is your goal?
Sakuya	`#0@77`Sunlight is a nuisance, you see. Mistress likes the dark. ([stern(?)])
Reimu	`#0@79`I don't like it. Would you please stop? ([irritated forehead vein])
Sakuya	`#0@81`Tell that to the mistress. ([stern(?)])
Reimu	`#0@82`Then call her. ([stern])
Sakuya	`#0@83`...There's no reason to let my lady go through any danger, now is there?
Reimu	`#0@85`Maybe she'll come out if I cause a disturbance* out here? 「騒ぎを起こす」, sawagi o okosu, lit. "to raise a row". ([cheery smile])*
Sakuya	`#0@87`It's hectic* enough already. 「騒がしい, sawagashii*, lit. "noisy".
	♪ Lunar Clock ~ Luna Dial
Sakuya	`#0@88`In the end, you will not be able to meet with the mistress. ([stern(?)])
Sakuya	`#0@90`I can stall for time by stopping time! (Simply saying these sentences one after another communicates the same logical connection as communicated by ～から and それこそ. "This is because I can in fact stall for time by stopping time," would be redundant. [smug] [Boss battle begins.])
	Sakuya Izayoi defeated
	If playing on Easy
Reimu	`#3@61`Well now, how's that!? ([Shown if the player is on easy mode.])
Sakuya	`#3@62`What are you so cocky about it at this level? You've a long way to go. ([Shown if the player is on easy mode.])
Sakuya	`#3@64`Come back again two hours ago. (? [Shown if the player is on easy mode. The game then ends.])
	Bad Ending #1
	If playing on Normal or a higher difficulty level
Reimu	`#1@61`Alright then, you'll let me meet her? ([nonchalant smile])
Sakuya	`#1@62`She's strong... But maybe the mistress can... (? [frustrated])

Stage 6

	`msg6.dat.jdiff`

	Sakuya Izayoi enters
Sakuya	`#2@60`I have to make you waste at least 1 bomb before the mistress gets mad at~ ([frustrated])
Reimu	`#2@150`Shut up, don't you need to be leaving on an errand or something? ([stern] [Midboss battle begins.])
	Sakuya Izayoi defeated
Reimu	`#0@60`Wouldn't this be a good time to show yourself?
Reimu	`#0@61`Miss?* 「お嬢さん」, ojou-san. A much less deferent form of 「お嬢様」 (ojou-sama, "mistress") as used by the other characters. ([stern])*
	Remilia Scarlet enters
	`#0@242`Eternally Young* Scarlet Moon <c$Remilia Scarlet$Eternally Young Scarlet Moon> 幼き, osanaki*. Young as a child rather than as a youth; connotes immaturity.
Remilia	`#0@242`I knew it. Humans are useless.
Reimu	`#0@243`So that maid just now was human... ([sweatdrop])
Remilia	`#0@244`You're a murderer. ([smirk])
Reimu	`#0@245`Just one person doesn't make me a mass murderer, so it's alright. ([cheery smile. Yes, really.])
Remilia	`#0@247`Then?
Reimu	`#0@248`Right, right. you're being a bother. ([irritated forehead vein])
Remilia	`#0@250`You're jumping to conclusions. Moreover I don't know the reason. ([smirk])
Reimu	`#0@251`Anyway, could you leave this place? ([sweatdrop])
Remilia	`#0@253`This is my castle?
Remilia	`#0@254`It is you who will leave.
Reimu	`#0@255`I want you to leave this world. ([irritated forehead vein])
Remilia	`#0@256`Ah well, it can't be helped. ([smirk])
Remilia	`#0@257`I'm fed up* at the moment, but... Double meaning: either lit. "having eaten one's fill" or fig. "being tired (of something)"/"being satisfied (with something)". ([smirk])*
Reimu	`#0@258`Didn't you hire that maid to protect you? ([cheery smile])
Reimu	`#0@260`I can take such a sheltered young lady* down in a single blow! お嬢様, ojou-sama. The same word as used by the other mansion denizens for "mistress", but here used ironically, carrying the sense of a little girl sheltered by a high-class upbringing. (smirk)*
Remilia	`#0@262`Sakuya was an excellent cleaner. (? There is no explicit past tense here, but the earlier conversation seems to imply that she's speaking in memory of Sakuya (who isn't actually dead, of course). [smirk])
Remilia	`#0@263`Thanks to her, not a single head has fallen.
Reimu	`#0@264`Are you strong? ([sweatdrop])
	♪ Septette for a Dead Queen
Remilia	`#0@265`I'm not sure. I don't get to go outside very often,
Remilia	`#0@267`Since I'm weak to sunlight. ([smirk])
Reimu	`#0@268`... You're quite capable, huh. ([sweatdrop])
Remilia	`#0@270`Because the moon is this red, I will kill you for real. (???)
Reimu	`#0@272`Even though the moon is this scarlet
Remilia Reimu	`#0@273`Looks like it's going to be a fun night. Looks like it's going to be a long night.
	Remilia Scarlet defeated
