Youmu	#0@60You, show yourself! The wriggling one, hiding in the darkness there.
Yuyuko	#0@61Youmu, don't leave me behind here...
Youmu	#0@62What are you saying? The night's very short!
Youmu	#0@63We have to find the villains quickly, and cut them into mash.
Yuyuko	#0@64No, I didn't mean...
???	#0@65"Cut them into mash"...
	- class="dt side " style=""		A Bug of Light Wriggling in the Dark Wriggle Nightbug
Wriggle	#0@125Are you cutting them or mashing them? Make up your mind!
Youmu	#0@126Now, before you get cut or mashed, tell us which direction we should be going!
Yuyuko	#0@127Youmu, save the excitement for when dawn is nearing!
Yuyuko	#0@128I told you not to leave me behind, didn't I? The night's only just started.
Wriggle	#0@129What's with these two?
Yuyuko	#0@130Oh? There's a big firefly in front of us.
Youmu	#0@131Did you not notice her yet...?
Yuyuko	#0@132Firefly watching is quite nice, too. Youmu, would you like to take a side trip?
Youmu	#0@133Do we really have time for that now?! I'll slice this bug to ribbons with my Roukanken...
Wriggle	#0@134You're spending the most time just talking like this!
Wriggle	#0@135It's been such a long time since I've seen anyone who wouldn't be pleased to see fireflies!
	♪ Stirring an Autumn Moon ~ Mooned Insect
	Wriggle Nightbug defeated
Youmu	#1@60Lady Yuyuko, it takes a while for you to defeat enemies because you don't focus your aim enough.
Yuyuko	#1@61My, haven't you ever heard the saying, "haste makes waste"?
Youmu	#1@62Ah, yes, we are in a hurry. So, where should we go next?
Yuyuko	#1@63Well? How about we see which way this branch falls?
Youmu	#1@64Is that really okay...?
Youmu	#1@65Wait, with the way you're holding that, there's really only one direction it'll fall.
Yuyuko	#1@66Round and round and round it goes~

Stage 2

	Mystia Lorelei enters
???	#0@60Wait, waaaait!
Youmu	#0@61You're in the way.
???	#0@61The two of you aren't hearing my song, are you?
	Mystia Lorelei
Mystia	#0@62Perhaps you're not human?
Yuyuko	#0@64It's nighttime, but I hear a sparrow calling. Youmu?
Youmu	#0@64Lady Yuyuko, please don't get distracted by this song.
Youmu	#0@65That's the cry of a night sparrow. It's one of the most accursed sounds in the world.
Mystia	#0@66Accursed? How rude of you.
Mystia	#0@67At the very least, my singing is better than the sound of approaching phantoms, isn't it?
Yuyuko	#0@69Yes, indeed. It's no contest at all.
Youmu	#0@69Please don't agree with her...
Yuyuko	#0@70Youmu, listen! The cries got louder again. I wonder where they're coming from.
Mystia	#0@71Geeze. Whether you are human or you were human, it doesn't matter to me.
Mystia	#0@72Now, the fun youkai festival begins!
Yuyuko	#0@73Okay, Youmu. Shall we hurry along?
Youmu	#0@74Eh? Uh, yes. I suppose we should, yes. But we've got to shoot down this bird in front of us, first off.
Yuyuko	#0@75I don't like sparrows. They're too bony.
Mystia	#0@76You shall not pass!
	♪ Deaf to All but the Song
	Mystia Lorelei defeated
Youmu	#1@60That night sparrow's appearance is going to attract lots of youkai and other things, before long.
Youmu	#1@61Let's move on before that happens. We have to hurry.
Yuyuko	#1@62Hang on. Got a bone in my throat...
Youmu	#1@63Didn't you just say you didn't like sparrows?
Yuyuko	#1@64It's not good to be a picky eater, Youmu.

Stage 3

	Keine Kamishirasawa enters
???	#2@61Is it you? Are you the ones trying to attack the village in the middle of this night?
Yuyuko	#2@62Oh? It seems we've gotten lost in some strange place.
Youmu	#2@63Yeah, where are we...?
???	#2@64There's no point in playing innocent. I can tell you're ominous ghosts.
	Keine Kamishirasawa pauses
???	#3@61Crap! These ghosts are really something.
Yuyuko	#3@62Oh, how cruel. Treating ghosts like outcasts, really.
	Keine Kamishirasawa exits
	Keine Kamishirasawa enters
???	#0@60What business do you have in some place like this?
Yuyuko	#0@60You attacked us before, right? We're just going to respond to that.
	Keine Kamishirasawa
Keine	#0@61There's nothing here. Just move along already.
Youmu	#0@62It's easy to say that, but we really don't know where we're moving to...
Keine	#0@63Are you just wandering around with no goal?
Yuyuko	#0@64No, no, Youmu.
Yuyuko	#0@65We're certainly heading in the right direction. All you need to do is go where I tell you to.
Keine	#0@66What is your purpose?
Youmu	#0@67To restore this abnormal Moon to normal.
Yuyuko	#0@68No, no, Youmu.
Youmu	#0@69!?
Yuyuko	#0@70We're having our fill of a wonderful nighttime sightseeing tour.
Keine	#0@71You two are really way too suspicious.
Keine	#0@72Although phantoms are suspicious at the best of times.
Youmu	#0@73Wait, I can't just let you say that. Phantoms aren't suspicious.
Yuyuko	#0@74No, no—
Youmu	#0@75Shut up.
Keine	#0@76...You two really do seem dangerous. Looks like I'll have to drive you away from here.
Keine	#0@77Although I don't quite get what you're doing.
Yuyuko	#0@78Hey, hey, Youmu.
Yuyuko	#0@79So far, we've had a bug, a bird, and now a beast.
Youmu	#0@80What are you trying to say?
Keine	#0@81Hmph. I'll help myself to all of your history!
	♪ Plain Asia
Keine	#0@82Every last bit. Even from before you became phantoms.
Yuyuko	#0@83I wonder if a dragon's up next.
Youmu	#0@84Lady Yuyuko. Please concentrate on what's happening now, and not what's going to happen next.
	Keine Kamishirasawa defeated
Youmu	#1@60"Beast"? Please, milady, you shouldn't treat humans like beasts.
Yuyuko	#1@61No, no, Youmu.
Yuyuko	#1@62This girl appears human right now, but she's a half-beast. Kind of like you.
Yuyuko	#1@63Although, I think humans are beasts too, so I guess she's a full beast?
Keine	#1@64Dammit. If the Moon hadn't been incomplete, I'd never have lost to such phantoms...
Youmu	#1@65Oh, yes, yes. We got to take back the full moon.
Yuyuko	#1@66Now, next up is a dragon dish. I can't wait, Youmu.
Youmu	#1@67Lady Yuyuko, you said you knew where our destination was, right?
Youmu	#1@68Somehow, I feel kind of concerned.
Yuyuko	#1@69A dragon would have lots of scales, though.

Stage 4B

msg4bd.dat.jdiff

???	#0@60Move and I'll shoot!
	Marisa Kirisame enters
???	#0@121I messed up. I mean, shoot and I'll move. Right away.
Youmu	#0@121What? That's strange, running into you in a place like this.
	Marisa
Marisa	#0@122Well, uh, I'm just hunting some troublesome youkai, like usual.
Youmu	#0@123Troublesome? Do you know who's doing all this, then?
Yuyuko	#0@124I'm telling you, even ordinary people could understand that.
Marisa	#0@125Well, then, I understand. How couldn't I, when the ones gathering up this strange air are flying right at me?
Marisa	#0@126Tomorrow's the harvest moon-viewing that we've been waiting for. I already got bored of staring at tonight's moon.
Yuyuko	#0@127Oh, you don't seem to understand.
Yuyuko	#0@128We're the ones who are stopping the night.
Marisa	#0@129Yeah, and?
Marisa	#0@130That's why I came here to kick your butts, ain't it?
Youmu	#0@131Hey, you. The black-clothed one. Don't you feel anything when you look at that warped Moon behind you?
Marisa	#0@132Didn't I just say I got bored of lookin' at it?
	♪ Love-Colored Master Spark
Youmu	#0@133You can't look away from reality.
Youmu	#0@134While we're arguing like this, that Moon is sinking lower.
Youmu	#0@135Don't you understand that things will get really bad if we just leave it be?
Marisa	#0@136Aah? An endless night will cause far more trouble for sure.
Marisa	#0@137For instance, the bamboo here will grow eternally if the night lasts too long.
Marisa	#0@138Might even reach the Moon, perhaps.
Yuyuko	#0@139The nail that sticks out gets struck down. Oh? How would you move if you get struck down?
Marisa	#0@140Yeah, I'll move, alright. I'll keep on moving until dawn breaks!
	Marisa Kirisame exits
Youmu	#2@60Lady Yuyuko, she's fled. Should we pursue?
Yuyuko	#2@61What a bother. I mean, we're headed that way too, but...
	Marisa Kirisame enters
	Marisa Kirisame pauses
Marisa	#3@60Okay. You shot, I moved. Now, the real battle starts here.
Youmu	#3@61You're still up for this? The game's already decided, isn't it?
Marisa	#3@62Hmph. There's two of you, so I get two tries!
	Marisa Kirisame defeated
Youmu	#1@60That was such an awful waste of time.
Yuyuko	#1@61For phantoms, there's no such thing as wasted time. Everything is going as planned.
Marisa	#1@62Dammit. What the heck are you two saying?
Yuyuko	#1@63An instant is everything. Everything is but an instant. The time we spent playing with you was inevitable, too.
Youmu	#1@64Huh? I see a huge mansion in the middle of the bamboo forest.
Yuyuko	#1@65Youmu. Didn't I say it'd be strange to not understand what's happening?
Yuyuko	#1@66Inside there... is the dragon dish I've been searching for.

Stage 5

msg5d.dat.jdiff

???	#0@60You're too late.
	Reisen Udongein Inaba enters
???	#0@121I've sealed all the doors. You can't take the princess away now, can you?
Youmu	#0@121Looks like we've finally found the culprit.
Yuyuko	#0@122This is just a space bird. We're far from done, so don't get worked up.
	Reisen
Reisen	#0@123Huh, some phantoms? Don't get me all worked up, geez.
Reisen	#0@124If you've got no business here, leave. We're in the middle of something right now.
Youmu	#0@125No way. This moon incident was caused by you, wasn't it?
Youmu	#0@126If so, I'll slash you. If not, I'll slash you and move on.
Reisen	#0@127Moon incident? Ah, you mean the earth-sealing spell?
Yuyuko	#0@128Right. This spell of yours is incredibly troublesome.
Yuyuko	#0@129We'll have you put a stop to it this instant. Now, Youmu, go slash her!
Youmu	#0@130Eh, uh, here I go?
Reisen	#0@131What rowdy phantoms. Aren't you going to listen to us for even a little bit?
	Eirin Yagokoro enters
Eirin	#0@191My, I thought we had guests, but it's just some phantoms?
Eirin	#0@192Well, there shouldn't be any guests arriving anyway.
Yuyuko	#0@193Youmu, there's another one. Slash her too.
Youmu	#0@194E-eh? Should I go?
Eirin	#0@195Oh, look, you shouldn't tease the poor girl like that.
Eirin	#0@196The business with the Moon is due to my spell. But, it was for the sake of the princess and this girl.
Eirin	#0@197Even phantoms should have at least this much kindness in them.
Youmu	#0@198So you're the culprit? I've got one less person to slash, then.
Eirin	#0@199Mmm, but don't get all worked up yet. Udonge, I'll leave this to you.
Eirin	#0@200Whatever you do, do not let them take our princess.
	Eirin Yagokoro exits
Reisen	#0@261Leave it to me. There's no slashing going on, but I won't let a single one of those doors be opened.
Youmu	#0@262(Huh, there isn't there much difference between that lady and Lady Yuyuko.)
Yuyuko	#0@263The brain has left, and the bird remains. Youmu, you've got one less person to slash.
Youmu	#0@264Eh? Uh, slashing. Will do.
	♪ Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon
Reisen	#0@265Heh heh heh. You've only been thinking of the Moon...
Reisen	#0@266Don't you see that you've already fallen into my trap?
Youmu	#0@267!?
Reisen	#0@268Your sense of direction is starting to go insane. You're already unable to fly straight!
Youmu	#0@269Speaking of which, Lady Yuyuko, why did you call her a bird? She looks like a rabbit...
Yuyuko	#0@270When skinned and eaten, they're the same thing. Remember that.
Reisen	#0@271Hey, don't tell lies. ...and don't ignore me!
Reisen	#0@272I doubt you'll be able to remain sane after gazing into my eyes!
	Reisen Udongein Inaba defeated
	#3@180Go where Lady Yuyuko says (Final A) Go where Lady Yuyuko says (Final B)
	If it is player's first time defeating Reisen OR player chooses Final A
Youmu	#1@60Ohh, my head's spinning. I'm starting to feel sort of gross...
Yuyuko	#1@61My, my, your human half got sick just from being shaken around that much.
Yuyuko	#1@62Well, don't fret. Next, we'll eat something that's good for your health.
Reisen	#1@63I can't believe this. You're far stronger than I thought...
Yuyuko	#1@64Next up, herbal dishes. And that's the end of it, too.
Yuyuko	#1@65Unfortunately, it's not a dragon after all, though.
Youmu	#1@66Lady Yuyuko. Do you know something I don't?
Yuyuko	#1@67Not at all.
	➜ Next stage: 6A
	If player chooses Final B
Youmu	#2@60Ohh, my head's spinning. I'm starting to feel sort of gross...
Yuyuko	#2@61My, my, your human half got sick just from being shaken around that much.
Yuyuko	#2@62How about we go through that door over there and rest for a little a bit?
Reisen	#2@63Ahh, crap. There was a door that I didn't have time to seal yet?
Youmu	#2@64No, I'm okay. Let's hurry ahead and chase that one from before.
Yuyuko	#2@65You sure? The door that's open is the door to enter.
Yuyuko	#2@66Our final course is surely waiting for us in there.
Yuyuko	#2@67Well, it might not be much of a respite, though.
	➜ Next stage: 6B

Stage 6A

msg6d.dat.jdiff

	Eirin Yagokoro enters
Eirin	#2@60Hahaha.
Eirin	#2@61Good, so you're following me.
Yuyuko	#2@62We've caught up with you. You won't be escaping now.
Youmu	#2@63Yes, you won't be escaping.
	Eirin Yagokoro exits
Youmu	#0@60Ummm. Where'd she go?
	Eirin Yagokoro enters
Eirin	#0@121Here, here.
Eirin	#0@122You really are half-baked. You lost sight of me in such a short time.
Yuyuko	#0@123What are you doing? What's that big phantom half of yours there for?
Youmu	#0@124Not for chasing people, surely.
	Eirin
Eirin	#0@125Well, this is a false pathway I created.
Eirin	#0@126So it's no wonder that you lost track of me.
Youmu	#0@127False pathway?
Yuyuko	#0@128A false moon in a false sky.
Yuyuko	#0@129You're really overdoing it with this.
Eirin	#0@130Ah, impressive. You see that this moon is an illusion.
Yuyuko	#0@131That's a very old moon. One from when the moon was still there in the heavens.
Youmu	#0@132Old?
Yuyuko	#0@133A terribly old-fashioned moon, with mold growing on it.
Yuyuko	#0@134The Moon these days has no rabbits on its surface.
Eirin	#0@135Well, no, there are rabbits there even now.
Eirin	#0@136The people and rabbits of the Moon have been living quietly on the far side.
Eirin	#0@137Unseen, protected by a barrier... Yes, it's much like your Gensokyo.
Youmu	#0@138A Gensokyo on the Moon?
Eirin	#0@139And so, this illusory moon is a memory of the past moon.
Eirin	#0@140That's why it looks so old-fashioned.
Youmu	#0@141So, what are you trying to do by dragging this musty old moon out?
Eirin	#0@142My task is already coming to an end.
Eirin	#0@143The full moon is the one key that links the Moon to the Earth.
Eirin	#0@144Just by removing that, no pursuers can reach the Earth's surface from the Moon.
Eirin	#0@145Even now, they're pursuing us to a fake Earth. To an old, musty Earth, yes.
Yuyuko	#0@146In short, you are a criminal.
Yuyuko	#0@147Those who try to escape from something are those who've committed a crime.
Yuyuko	#0@148Those who try to hide themselves are those who've admitted their crime.
Yuyuko	#0@149And criminals who've admitted to a crime always start making excuses.
Youmu	#0@150...
Eirin	#0@151No, it's not like that.
Eirin	#0@152This may be a bit unreasonable, but I simply didn't want to go back to the Moon because it was comfortable here.
Eirin	#0@153There's no need to worry. Once it's morning, I'll return your full moon, you see.
Youmu	#0@154Lady Yuyuko, give me some instructions.
Yuyuko	#0@155Oh, have you understood what I was saying by now?
Yuyuko	#0@156Well then, first, please become my shield.
Youmu	#0@157Leave it to me. I will be the hardest shield in all the Netherworld.
Yuyuko	#0@158Seeing as I'll back you up if I feel like it.
Eirin	#0@159Ahahaha.
Eirin	#0@160A shield can only stop something from the outside.
Eirin	#0@161We Lunarians have the ability to use more internal forces.
Eirin	#0@162While you're becoming a hard shield, the soft parts inside you are slowly rotting...
Eirin	#0@163Yes, you carefree girl over there. A "hard shield" is meaningless.
Yuyuko	#0@164Don't worry, Youmu. I'm not alive, so I can't rot.
Youmu	#0@165I understand. You're rotting to begin with, right?
Youmu	#0@166But rotten or not, it's the Konpaku family's duty to protect you.
Yuyuko	#0@167I said I can't rot.
Eirin	#0@168I wonder how long that attitude of yours will last.
Eirin	#0@169This ceaselessly overflowing memory of the moon...
Eirin	#0@170Amongst the Earthlings bathed in it, there are none who didn't go insane.
Yuyuko	#0@171Looks like there's no helping it. Youmu, keep this one thing in mind so you don't go insane.
Eirin	#0@172Ah, you're a phantom and not a human. I guess you won't rot, then?
Yuyuko	#0@173Things are most delicious when they're about to rot.
Youmu	#0@174Why are you telling me that now...?
Eirin	#0@175Well said. However, fermentation's a power granted by the gods.

	Eirin Yagokoro enters
Eirin	#2@60Geez.
Eirin	#2@61I told her not to let them come this way.
Yuyuko	#2@62Youmu. Press on.
Youmu	#2@63Yes. Pressing on now.
	Eirin Yagokoro exits
Youmu	#0@60Lady Yuyuko, look. What an amazing full moon!
	Kaguya Houraisan enters
???	#0@121This is the true full moon.
???	#0@122It seems that you two are neither human nor youkai.
???	#0@123I wonder why you've wandered into such a place as this?
Yuyuko	#0@124Youmu.
Yuyuko	#0@125Looking at that Moon is a fearful thing.
Yuyuko	#0@126Stop looking at it, right away.
Youmu	#0@127Eh, uh, is it really?
	Eirin
Kaguya	#0@128The true moon is fearful, indeed.
Kaguya	#0@129That's something that the Earthlings have long since forgotten.
Kaguya	#0@130You must be quite the nostalgic human.
Kaguya	#0@131Or rather, ex-human?
Yuyuko	#0@132Every now and then I still think of myself that way.
Yuyuko	#0@133This girl is still half-human, though.
Yuyuko	#0@134It'd be quite bad if half of her went insane.
Youmu	#0@135Lady Yuyuko. If I look away from the Moon, I can't see her either!
Yuyuko	#0@136Look at her with your mind's eye.
Yuyuko	#0@137What's that big phantom half of yours there for?
Youmu	#0@138Not for using any inner eyes, surely.
Kaguya	#0@139What fun.
Kaguya	#0@140You're neither impure humans, nor youkai.
Kaguya	#0@141You have nothing that's enjoyable to look at.
Youmu	#0@142Oh no, Lady Yuyuko! It's completely dark when I close my eyes!
Kaguya	#0@143Wouldn't it be okay to look at this full moon and go insane, just a little bit?
Yuyuko	#0@144You can still slash things without looking at them, can't you?
Kaguya	#0@145So, what are you doing here tonight? What business do you phantoms have?
Yuyuko	#0@146If even a little bit of a sphere is missing, it loses its value.
Yuyuko	#0@147That's because it can't stay round forever.
Yuyuko	#0@148But, as that flawed sphere is rolled around a bit, it becomes a full sphere once again.
Yuyuko	#0@149That's what this is about, isn't it?
Youmu	#0@150Ahh, when I open my eyes all of a sudden, the light is blinding me.
Kaguya	#0@151Yes, that is indeed what eternity is about. The peaceful world.
Kaguya	#0@152Actually, I'm able to manipulate eternity.
Yuyuko	#0@153—So, does that mean you're the one who's stopping the night?
Youmu	#0@154Eh? Lady Yuyuko, isn't that...?
Kaguya	#0@155I could never do something so cruel.
Kaguya	#0@156Trust me on that one.
Yuyuko	#0@157Well, that doesn't matter to me anyway.
Yuyuko	#0@158I'll be satisfied if we can return the full moon to Gensokyo.
Yuyuko	#0@159Morning will still come in the meantime.
Youmu	#0@160Well said.
Yuyuko	#0@161Youmu, this is your final order.
Yuyuko	#0@162Slash the eternity before your eyes.
Kaguya	#0@163Oh, eternity is still eternity, even with pieces missing. You were saying that just a minute ago, weren't you?
Youmu	#0@164Okay, so I'll slash her with my Hakurouken here!
Yuyuko	#0@165I said this just a minute ago, but she has to be the one who's stopping the night. Surely.
Youmu	#0@166No, um, I think that's...
Kaguya	#0@167Wrong. I said that, didn't I?
Kaguya	#0@168Well, whatever. You're so eager to fight with me, so shall we begin?
Kaguya	#0@169My five requests that so many humans in the past have failed to complete...
