Stage 1

Futo	I beseech thee!
Futo	Wager thy temple's signboard upon a duel of honor!
Hijiri	All right. But I must refuse your conditions.
Futo	Dost thou intend to flee?
Hijiri	No, I simply don't need your signboard.

Futo	Should I not attain thy signboard, I shall set it aflame.

	⧼win⧽
Hijiri	<balloon$a15x3> Hmm. Everyone's hearts have turned corrupt.
Hijiri	I must restore morality to all.

Stage 2

Marisa	What? You wanna fight with a veteran like me?
Hijiri	Yes. I hold no grudge against you, but...
Hijiri	I would like to spread the importance of the teachings of Buddhism to everyone.
Hijiri	And conveniently, we have here an expendable character who won't be defeated too easily.
Marisa	Wh--
Marisa	Who you callin' "expendable"? I'll show ya!
Marisa	I'd rather lose in no time flat!

	⧼lose⧽
Marisa	Not even worth braggin' about at a drinkin' party. I don't think you even do drink.

data/script/story/hijiri/stage2win.pl.jdiff

	⧼win⧽
Hijiri	The first thing to do is to grasp the hearts of the people.
Marisa	Crap. I sure got egg on my face.
Hijiri	It's okay.
Hijiri	There's no shame to be had in losing to me.

Stage 3

data/script/story/hijiri/stage3.pl.jdiff

Reimu	The boss herself is marching into enemy territory.
Reimu	You must be pretty confident, huh?
Reimu	That, or just stupid.
Hijiri	I don't expect that our organized Buddhism will lose out to a primitive religion,
Hijiri	but apparently this archaic Shinto is what's gathering the most faith in Gensokyo,
Hijiri	so I must defeat it no matter what.
Hijiri	Although it's... just incidental.
Reimu	If you disrespect the gods' power, you'll be cursed!

	⧼lose⧽
Reimu	Now, receive a myriad of curses!

data/script/story/hijiri/stage3win.pl.jdiff

	⧼win⧽
Hijiri	The gods' power, you say? But you're not a god.
Reimu	I couldn't hear any voices today, that's all.
Hijiri	I wonder if this will make this delinquent shrine a little more quiet.

Stage 4

data/script/story/hijiri/stage4.pl.jdiff

Miko	You've arrived!
Miko	You want to determine the strongest practitioner on my own territory, do you?
Hijiri	Yes.
Hijiri	Regardless of *these conditions*, I thought I'd have to settle things eventually.
Hijiri	With you, and your evil spells.
Miko	How utterly absurd!
Miko	To me, your religion, which only serves to control humans, is far more evil!

	⧼lose⧽
Miko	I am the only one who can save the humans now.

data/script/story/hijiri/stage4win.pl.jdiff

	⧼win⧽
Hijiri	Everything is a wink of a dream. Hail, hail to the three treasures.
Hijiri	Things such as immortality may all be just a fraud.
Miko	I lost. What amazing martial arts.
Miko	Have you noticed the people's blighted hearts yet?
Hijiri	Yes, of course. I'm fighting now in order to save their souls.
Miko	It's vexing, but...
Miko	I will yield that role to you.

Stage 5

data/script/story/hijiri/stage5.pl.jdiff

Hijiri	Oh, what's wrong?
Reimu	How's about I ask you for another go-round?
Hijiri	Again...? The popularity battle has already ended.
Hijiri	You don't want to get embarrassed even further, do you?
Reimu	Don't be so hasty now.
Reimu	Y'see? Look at the audience.
Hijiri	?!
Hijiri	What is going on? Everyone is cheering for you?
Reimu	That's right. You've got no more allies now.
Hijiri	I simply must get you to tell me what is going on.

	⧼lose⧽
Reimu	How about I give you a nice purification? There ya go.

data/script/story/hijiri/stage5win.pl.jdiff

	⧼win⧽
Hijiri	Hmhmhm.
Hijiri	I thought something was odd. So *that's* what's going on?
Reimu	Oh, so you've noticed.
Reimu	Guess I don't need this form any longer, then.
Hijiri	That was a remarkable transformation.

Stage 6

data/script/story/hijiri/stage6.pl.jdiff

Mamizou	Ahaha!
Mamizou	I caught you hook, line and sinker.
Hijiri	I absolutely couldn't tell you apart from the real thing.
Hijiri	What a terrifying transformation ability...
Mamizou	Thank you, thank you.
Hijiri	Although, for a moment, it felt like Miss Reimu had gotten older.
Mamizou	Now, how about we start the battle anew.
Hijiri	I thought I had gathered most of the popularity in Gensokyo,
Hijiri	but I never thought there were this many unfaithful tanuki!

Mamizou	Now I'm the head priest 'round here.

data/script/story/hijiri/stage6win.pl.jdiff

	⧼win⧽
Mamizou	I give!
Mamizou	Any more and I'll feel it tomorrow.
Hijiri	I don't want to do any unnecessary killing.
Hijiri	<balloon$a15x3> As long as I can save the hearts of the people, I will be content.
Mamizou	......
Mamizou	The hearts of people, huh? Can you really save them?
Hijiri	...What do you mean?
Mamizou	Don't you know?
Mamizou	Right now, in the dead of night, the Human Village,
Mamizou	turns into a dreadful place void of emotions.
Mamizou	There are humans who have no feelings at all, let alone hope.
Hijiri	A place without emotion?
Hijiri	No matter how much hope they have lost, I can't imagine them losing all their emotions.
Hijiri	Perhaps... there is someone behind everything
Hijiri	who is causing the people's hearts to harden?

Stage 7

data/script/story/hijiri/stage7.pl.jdiff

Hijiri	I can't believe it...
Hijiri	You'd never think that it was so lively during the day.
Hijiri	I can't sense any feelings at all.
Hijiri	Who are you?
Kokoro	......
Hijiri	You aren't human.
Kokoro	My hope...
Hijiri	?
Kokoro	Where did you take my Mask of Hope!?
Hijiri	M-Mask of Hope? Er, well, I don't really know......
Kokoro	Oh, uh, someone's here? Apologies. Who are you?
Hijiri	I am Byakuren Hijiri.
Hijiri	I am a monk of the Myouren Temple... And you are?
Kokoro	My name is Hata no Kokoro.
Kokoro	I am the one who controls all emotions!
Hijiri	Emotions... you say?
Hijiri	Therefore, the village's current state is...
Kokoro	...My Mask of Hope was lost, and so the emotions are... out of control.
Hijiri	Mask?
Hijiri	It seems your masks aren't just for decoration.
Hijiri	So you're saying that, because the mask that controls hope was lost, the humans' hearts turned depraved...?
Kokoro	Exactly correct!
Kokoro	So, I'm asking you, where did my Mask of Hope go?!
Hijiri	How am I supposed to know such a thing?
Kokoro	So you say, but I know.
Kokoro	You alone have maintained hope in this world where emotions have gone out of control.
Kokoro	You must be the one who stole my Mask of Hope!
Hijiri	In Buddhism, there is a precept that prohibits stealing.
Hijiri	I certainly can't abide someone accusing me of being a thief.
Kokoro	And I'm supposed to believe you?
Kokoro	Could you kindly give it back to me?
Kokoro	My emotions are also out of control, so I'm in trouble too...
Kokoro	If this continues... all emotions will be lost from Gensokyo...
Hijiri	......
Hijiri	I've certainly never committed thievery,
Hijiri	but I can never abandon a youkai in need, either.
Kokoro	Give my hope back already, you dastard!
Hijiri	I'm going to save you, but first I'll need to have you calm down!
Kokoro	Hope has to be managed evenly, by my hand!
Kokoro	Now, return to me! My hope...
Kokoro	No, the hope of every human being!
