Mystia	#70@172Eh? When did you say anything?!

Mystia	#72@50You're so cruel to interrupt my song.

Shiki vs. Cirno (Episode 1 or 2)

	♪ The Mound where the Flowers Reflect
Eiki	#50@140I came to check on you.
???	#50@140Ahh!
	Cirno enters
	<Boss title>
Cirno	#50@170The really talkative noisy one came again, huh.
Eiki	#50@171Have you properly taken to heart what I have said?
	♪ Adventure of the Lovestruck Tomboy
Cirno	#50@172Nah, I didn't really understand it.
	Eiki wins
Eiki	#51@50Well, fairies are fine. It is not as if they hold great mind and spirit.
	Eiki loses
Cirno	#52@50I'm not feeling nice right now, so I'll be heading out for a bit.

Shiki vs. Lyrica (Episode 2 or 3)

	♪ The Mound where the Flowers Reflect
Eiki	#60@140It was around here, I can hear the sound of illusions coming.
???	#60@140Ah, you are
	Lyrica Prismriver enters
	<Boss title>
Lyrica	#60@170that one who liked lecturing...
Eiki	#60@171I came here to observe if you have been abiding to what I have said.
	♪ Phantom Band ~ Phantom Ensemble
Lyrica	#60@172What did you say again?
	Eiki wins
Eiki	#61@50What is more transient than phantoms are poltergeists. If blown, they will disappear.
	Eiki loses
Lyrica	#62@50Ah, was it to hold back on fried food?

Shiki vs. Reisen (Episode 3, 4, or 5)

	♪ The Mound where the Flowers Reflect
Eiki	#40@140So she lives in this house.
???	#40@140Ah, if it isn't the Yama.
	Reisen Udongein Inaba enters
	<Boss title>
Reisen	#40@170What's the matter? Did something happen?
Eiki	#40@171I came here to see if you properly understood my teachings.
	♪ Lunatic Eyes ~ Invisible Full Moon
Reisen	#40@172Teachings... It was too abstract, I don't understand.
	Eiki wins
Eiki	#41@50That's right.
Eiki	#41@51It seems as if you must live with the consciousness of your sins...
	Eiki loses
Reisen	#42@50Well, I am living a diligent life, so it's not like I'm troubling you or anything.

Shiki vs. Youmu (Episode 3 or 5)

	♪ Eastern Ghostly Dream ~ Ancient Temple
Eiki	#30@140The Netherworld sure is carefree. Despite Higan being in a very busy state.
???	#30@140Oh,
	Youmu Konpaku enters
	<Boss title>
Youmu	#30@170if it isn't the Yama. It must be a serious affair for you to come all the way to the Netherworld.
Eiki	#30@171Not at all, I came to see if you understood my teachings.
Youmu	#30@172Yes, I'm sure I understand. See, I can even pour delicious tea.
	Eiki wins
Eiki	#31@50Did I teach you that?
Eiki	#31@51Listen, your sword is one that severs hesitation.
Eiki	#31@52Humans without hesitation are opened to enlightenment. (迷い (mayoi) can mean doubts/indecision/hesitation/etc., but it can also mean "inability to reach enlightenment".)
Eiki	#31@53This is the same as helping someone reach Nirvana.
Eiki	#31@54With your current judgment, you cannot be allowed to do such a thing.
	Eiki loses
Youmu	#32@50That's because that's all that Lady Yuyuko teaches me.

Shiki vs. Tewi (Episode 4)

	♪ The Mound where the Flowers Reflect
Eiki	#80@140I never get lost in the bamboo thicket.
???	#80@140Ah!
	Tewi Inaba enters
	<Boss title>
Tewi	#80@170I've seen that face somewhere before.
Eiki	#80@171I came to see if you have been keeping to what I have said.
	♪ White Flag of Usa Shrine
Tewi	#80@172Ah, of course. I've been living a proper life since then.
	Eiki wins
Eiki	#81@50You still speak nothing but lies. Do not come to me if someone takes revenge before I judge you.
	Eiki loses
Tewi	#82@50Well then, I'll be off on my way here~

Shiki vs. Sakuya (Episode 5)

	♪ The Mound where the Flowers Reflect
Eiki	#20@140That Komachi, there is still plenty left. What does she mean by "I've almost cleaned up all the phantoms"?
???	#20@140Oh,
	Sakuya Izayoi enters
	<Boss title>
Sakuya	#20@170you have to be more strict with your subordinates. After all, I don't think the flowers have gotten any better.
Eiki	#20@171I will do so. So, have you become a little kinder?
	♪ Flowering Night
Sakuya	#20@172Now my body can drink good tea.
	Eiki wins
Eiki	#21@50Being nice to your body is fine, but let us try to focus on our whole being.
	Eiki loses
Sakuya	#22@50But more importantly, I'm worried about whether the flowers will return to normal.

Shiki vs. Marisa (Episode 6)

	♪ The Mound where the Flowers Reflect
Eiki	#10@140It is troublesome to get a hold of humans who tend to move around a lot.
???	#10@140Who're you talking about?
	Marisa Kirisame enters
	<Boss title>
Marisa	#10@170I'm having the same troubles.
Eiki	#10@171There you are. How is it, are you keeping to my teachings?
	♪ Oriental Dark Flight
Marisa	#10@172I already said, I haven't lied at all.
	Eiki wins
Eiki	#11@50There are no humans who do not lie.
Eiki	#11@51Therefore, one who can with great confidence say they do not lie is in itself the proof of a liar.
	Eiki loses
Marisa	#12@50Later, I've got someplace I need to head to.

Shiki vs. Aya (Episode 7)

	♪ Mound of Shigan
Eiki	#100@140The tengu were supposed to be around here.
	♪ (none)
???	#100@140Ah, are you possibly
	Aya Shameimaru enters
	<Boss title>
Aya	#100@170the Yama? What occurred this time?
Eiki	#100@171I came to see if you understood my teachings.
Aya	#100@172Of course. I've thought about my newspaper in my own way.
Eiki	#100@173That's right. So I'll ask you again.
Eiki	#100@174Why do newspapers exist?
Aya	#100@175By writing an article, the truth changes.
Aya	#100@176By writing that changed truth into an article, the truth changes once again.
Aya	#100@177To write an article without fully understanding it's a foolish thing, but if one understands at least that,
Aya	#100@178a newspaper has the power to change the truth.
Eiki	#100@179Well then, how will you go about writing your newspaper?
Aya	#100@180I'll write to straighten the world. I'll change the truth, and make this world better.
Eiki	#100@181Close, but no cigar, 30 points.
Aya	#100@18230 points is close?
	♪ Wind God Girl
Eiki	#100@183You need to think a little deeper.
	Eiki wins
Eiki	#101@50Newspapers exist to cause events. (起こす can be used as "to cause [something]" but also "to transcribe [something]".)
Eiki	#101@51You must be prepared to bear all the responsibility from the events your articles cause.
Eiki	#101@52Why must one go that far to write an article?
Eiki	#101@53That is because the power to change the truth is, above all, a very great power.
	Eiki loses
Aya	#102@50I won't write about the Yama. I have to respect the privacy of others.

Shiki vs. Komachi (Episode 8)

	♪ Higan Retour ~ Riverside View
Eiki	#120@140That Komachi... Nothing has changed at all.
Eiki	#120@141The red spider lilies are freely blooming. What happened to "It'll be done soon"?
???	#120@141Ah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
	Komachi Onozuka enters
	<Boss title>
Komachi	#120@171I'll go clean up right now.
Eiki	#120@172And I just finished with visiting various humans and youkai to lecture them.
Eiki	#120@173If my own subordinate is like this, I have absolutely no persuasive influence.
Komachi	#120@174No, no. I'm still doing my best in spite of things.
Komachi	#120@175It's just that this year's number of phantoms is just a little too much.
Eiki	#120@176Could you give the fancy excuses a rest?
Eiki	#120@177The speed of your boat is also slower than the rest of the shinigami...
Eiki	#120@178You are probably having idle banter with the phantoms, are you not?
Komachi	#120@179No, no, not at all.
Komachi	#120@180I'm an upright shinigami of few words.
Eiki	#120@181Komachi, you do not have enough wants.
Komachi	#120@182Excuse me?
Eiki	#120@183When you are ferrying the deceased, you receive a fee, do you not?
Eiki	#120@184If you give priority to riders who possess a lot, that is, those with many values... (A pun; 徳 (virtue; toku), is homophone of 得 (profit).)
Eiki	#120@185It will not take that much time to cross the river, then. It is efficient, it is profitable...
Komachi	#120@186Ah, no. It's not as if I don't have the will to earn anything.
Eiki	#120@187For a shinigami, to earn a profit is to kindly receive those who have done good during their life.
Eiki	#120@188In other words, for you, earning money is to do good. (稼ぐ can mean "to earn money"... but also "to labor (work hard)")
Komachi	#120@189Yes, I already understand. But, the life stories of bad guys are also pretty interesting.
Eiki	#120@190So you were idly chatting.
Komachi	#120@191No, ah, well...
Eiki	#120@192You need to be more diligent.
	Eiki wins
Eiki	#121@50It is often said that to make a profit is not a good thing,
Eiki	#121@51but that is only what humans that lack values say out of envy. They think that not working is good, but that is not the case.
Eiki	#121@52Money works in such a way that earning and spending become good deeds in themselves.
Komachi	#121@53Yes, I understand. That's why shrines don't receive donations, right?
Eiki	#121@54If you understand the concept in your mind, then put it into action. Without words.
	Eiki loses
Komachi	#122@50I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Shiki vs. Reimu (Episode Final)

	♪ Mound of Shigan
Eiki	#0@140It looks like more time is required for the cherry blossoms to scatter.
Eiki	#0@141Having said all, when comparing the people of Gensokyo to the people of the outside world, the bad ones of Gensokyo are still fewer.
Eiki	#0@142The sins of the ones residing in these cherry blossoms here have no relevance to the crimes of the outside world.
Eiki	#0@143The law is decided by humans. Sins that cannot be judged by laws are judged by me.
???	#0@143Oh, it's still the same as ever.
	Reimu Hakurei enters
	<Boss title>
Reimu	#0@173Always with the "It'll be soon, it'll be soon." When exactly will the cherry blossoms return to normal?
Eiki	#0@174You came at the perfect time.
Eiki	#0@175How is it? Have you understood my teachings, and are you keeping to them?
Reimu	#0@176Like I said, I baked and made things edible. Various things.
Eiki	#0@177There are many sinful souls under the violet cherry blossoms.
Eiki	#0@178Souls with virtue are ferried in order to Higan. The cherry blossoms here will be the very last.
Eiki	#0@179No, not just here, but the very last will be cherry blossoms in general.
Reimu	#0@180Is that so? And cleaning up cherry blossoms is the most annoying task...
Eiki	#0@181When all that is left are the cherry blossoms, Gensokyo will begin reading a new calendar.
Eiki	#0@182This year is the year of "Rebirth," which comes upon us every sixty years.
Eiki	#0@183One could say, it's Gensokyo's "sixtieth birthday." (Specifically 還暦 (kanreki; lit. calendar return), where 60th birthday is considered culturally significant in Japan, a sort-of rebirth.)
Eiki	#0@184And the cherry blossoms represent death and resurrection.
	♪ (none)
Reimu	#0@185Why does this kind of year come once every sixty years?
Eiki	#0@186It is often said that it is of the Zodiac, but that is just what humans conjectured afterward.
Eiki	#0@187Sixty years is really a number form of all of nature expressed.
Eiki	#0@188Sun, moon, and stars comprise the three lights. Spring, summer, fall, and winter comprise the four seasons.
Eiki	#0@189Wood, water, fire, earth, and metal comprise the five phases.
Eiki	#0@190Combine the three lights, four seasons, five phases: 3 × 4 × 5 = 60.
Eiki	#0@191Sixty is a combined number of complete nature revealed.
	♪ Eastern Judgement in the Sixtieth Year ~ Fate of Sixty Years
Eiki	#0@192In other words, nature is reborn once every sixty years. Gensokyo will resurrect this year.
Reimu	#0@193So that's how it is? I wasn't born sixty years ago so I can't confirm anything.
Eiki	#0@194If you have insight, you should understand right away.
Eiki	#0@195The ones who have seen this incident sixty years ago were not too clamorous, were they?
Reimu	#0@196There were some that were a bit too clamorous.
Eiki	#0@197Memories of the past sixty years revolve.
Eiki	#0@198Also, it was not a particularly unique incident, so it is easily forgettable.
Reimu	#0@199So that's how it is. No wonder I didn't feel any danger from it.
Reimu	#0@200...Hey, I won't be tricked.
Reimu	#0@201The reason the flowers are blooming is because you guys were slacking off, right?
Eiki	#0@202The phantoms multiply once every sixty years. The flowers are a result of that.
Eiki	#0@203Earthquakes, eruptions, tsunami, wars. I am not sure exactly what, but...
Reimu	#0@204It doesn't matter what it is, if you guys just worked at it everything would turn back to normal!
	Eiki wins
	Ending #14
	Eiki loses
Reimu	#2@50Now, hurry and ferry those phantoms to Higan!
