Stage 1

	⧼main_1⧽
Hijiri	Say, Ichirin.
Hijiri	I've also obtained an interesting power.
Ichirin	Then, that means... You're finally going to use one of these urban legends as well.
Hijiri	Hm-hm-hm. It's the strongest and fastest urban legend of them all.
Hijiri	Mind if I join the ride?
	⧼lose⧽
Ichirin	Seems like you haven't gotten the hang of it.
	⧼win⧽
Hijiri	I see. So this is the rumoured Occult Ball...
Ichirin	What do you think? Gathering 7 of them will make you attain enlightenment, they said.
Hijiri	Really now? This is one troublesome artifact.

Stage 2

	⧼main_1⧽
Futo	How fortunate for me that thou showed thyself now! Let us wager our balls and fight!
Hijiri	Yes, yes. I'll take you on.
Hijiri	It seems I won't understand anything without gathering them all first, after all.
Futo	Dost thou think thou willst get the best of me? Gaze upon mine Occult and tremble in fear!
	⧼lose⧽
Futo	I'm one plate shooort. Well, aren't thou scared?
	⧼win⧽
Hijiri	I'll be taking this, then.
Hijiri	At the rate I'm going, gathering the balls themselves should be easy enough.
Futo	...*sniff* *sniff* I've feared bringing one less plate will have its comeuppance.
Hijiri	Why did you pick such a tragic Occult in the first place?

Stage 3

	⧼main_1⧽
Nitori	You came just at the right time.
Nitori	We're stocking up on Occult Balls today.
Hijiri	As I thought, the urban legends even reached all the way to the Kappa society.
Nitori	Heh heh heh. Don't underestimate us.
Nitori	No way we're going to rely on urban legends originating from such baseless rumours.
Nitori	We've created a machine based on an urban legend. Now nobody can deny the power of this thing!
Hijiri	Ummm... Then that's just a weapon......
Nitori	I'll say it once more! Today, we're stocking up on Occult Balls!
	⧼lose⧽
Nitori	Awright, ball GET! This one will sell for a fortune!
	⧼win⧽
Hijiri	I thought you wouldn't have an Occult Ball, and yet here we are.
Nitori	Huuh? A ball came out of me, too?
Hijiri	<balloon$a15x3> So it's true that even those who possess it can't fully control them.
Hijiri	I've realized, from the moment I held onto this ball...
Hijiri	That this is the beginning of a nightmare.

Stage 4

	⧼main_1⧽
Mokou	Who goes there?
Mokou	Wait, aren't you from the Myouren Temple...?
Mokou	What's your business here?
Hijiri	I felt a strong aura coming from you that's similar to these balls, so I came here to check.
Mokou	You too, huh.
Hijiri	"Too"?
Mokou	It's been pissing me off lately.
Mokou	People keep coming here, asking me to hand over the ball.
Mokou	But seriously, what ball? I told them I don't have any, but it was useless.
Hijiri	You don't have one?
Hijiri	But that Occult aura is definitely...
Mokou	What is this Occult aura you're talking about? Spare me those alien terms.
Hijiri	Hmm, let's see. In the first place, do you have any interest in the rumours spreading among the humans?
Mokou	I've long stopped concerning myself with the matters of this fleeting world.
Hijiri	So you don't know about the urban legends?
Mokou	Urban legends? What's that?
Hijiri	I see. I'm amazed you manage to stay so clueless of the happenings around you.
Hijiri	Still, I am certain that I sensed the presence of an Occult Ball from you.
Hijiri	<balloon$a15x3> It seems there are certain occasions where it attaches itself to people without them realizing.
Mokou	Well, nevermind that. In the end, you want to wager that ball through a fight, right?
Mokou	That's how it was with the people that came before you.
Mokou	It's not like I'll ever die anyway, so no need to hold back!
	⧼lose⧽
Mokou	I missed out on death again.
	⧼win⧽
Hijiri	You've gathered quite a lot of these balls.
Hijiri	Ah, yes, you got them after defeating your challengers...
Mokou	Pheew. It feels like some burden got off my shoulders. I give you my thanks.
Hijiri	The fact that it can manifest without the person's knowledge...
Hijiri	Now I'm completely certain. This is nothing but a bad omen.
Hijiri	It's a wonder that people can enjoy this as a simple competition for balls.

Stage 5

	⧼main_1⧽
Miko	I figured that you'll be my last opponent.
Hijiri	I heard that you're also gathering these balls.
Hijiri	What is your goal?
Miko	Asking questions right off the bat? Well, it matters not.
Miko	Did you think I'm gathering these balls out of an obsession over some petty rumours?
Hijiri	Of course I don't. That's what makes me worried.
Hijiri	After all, these balls are formed from idle curiosity and deep secrets.
Miko	Curiosity and deep secrets, hm...? Very typical of you to see it like that.
Miko	This is an artifact from the outside world. There must be someone outside who's planning to use these for some purpose here in Gensokyo.
Miko	If that person holds curiosity towards Gensokyo, then nothing good will come of it.
Hijiri	The Outside World... is it? Now I understand why there's so many unknown things regarding its true nature.
Miko	That's why I decided to set out and gather them myself, so I could study them.
Miko	Well, that's my answer. How about yours? What's your reason to gather these balls?
Hijiri	As for me…… I'm gathering them all to seal them, so these urban legends won't be used for evil.
Miko	Seal them? Oh yeah, putting a lid over anything you deem rotten is what your folks specialize in.
Miko	Don't make me laugh.
Miko	These urban legends spread themselves naturally through rumours.
Miko	<balloon$a15x3> You can't put a lock on people's mouths, can you?
Miko	Anyway, it seems like there's no way to get these Occult Balls without a fight.
Miko	Also, through this fight, we can decide which ideology is right. Yours or mine.
Hijiri	<balloon$a15x3> It can't be helped. You are after all, too wise for your own good.
Hijiri	I can't let such a person wield this power of nightmares!
	⧼lose⧽
Miko	Now they're all in my possession.
