 	Chizu Shiratori LEAVES
Youmu	Lady Yuyuko was right...This doesn't feel the same as last time. All these spiritsfrom the Netherworld were acting very strange. They seem to be heading everywhere at once...
??? 	Oh, a familiar face?
Youmu	Eh?
 	Chizu Shiratori ENTERS
??? 	There are so many ghastly beings roaming around!It must be a Hyakki YagyōHyakki Yagyō (百鬼夜行, "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons"), also transliterated Hyakki Yakō, is an idiom in Japanese folklore. Sometimes an orderly procession, other times a riot, it refers to a parade of thousands of supernatural creatures known as oni and yōkai that march through the streets of Japan at night., for sure.

 	Crane Dancing to Eight MelodiesChizu Shiratori
Chizu	Oh, my bad! My name's Chizu.I'm one of Miss Reimu's hand bells, soI'm sure I've seen you before.
Youmu	I see. And you say these dead creatures arethe result of a... demon parade?
Chizu	Mmm-hmmm! Quite a good guess, huh? So I need to do the dancing ritual.Appeasing both the Hakurei god and those demons will surely bring peace again!

 	Kaeru Ikedashima ENTERS

Youmu	Well, the human part is only half true.
 	Frog Girl Searching for LoveKaeru Ikedashima
Kaeru	Ah, gotcha. What about the woman part?
Youmu	...What do you think?
Kaeru	Dunno. I just need a new human to take me as their bride.Ya see, my ex-spouse threw a big rock at my family's priest.A reference to one of the Kaeru nyōbō tales, where a frog woman married a desperate, poor man. He became suspicious of the woman, and followed her one day when she had to meet with her family. 
The young man was repulsed when he saw the woman transform into a frog inside the pond. He had been tricked into marrying a frog. He picked up a rock and hurled it into the water. There was a big splash, and the croaking stopped. The man left the pond and returned home. It was a total mess!Anyways, anyone will do at this point, really. So what'cha think?
 	BGM: Kiss the Gallant Jiraiya, or Return to Stone!
Youmu	Can't say I'm interested, honestly.No human will ever want to stay if they keep noticing you're a frog youkai.You seem to be bound to a tragic end, unfortunately. (For you)
Kaeru	Damn, way to demoralize someone, jerk! Now I'll make a mess outta your half-human temperature!
 	Kaeru Ikedashima DEFEATED
Kaeru	Ow! Why don'tcha throw a pebble at me too, while you're at it!
Youmu	So, is this chilly climate not your doing?
Kaeru	Nah... I've been keepin' this river warm for my fellow frogs.Crazy ice fairiesCirno is known for using her abilities to freeze frogs, then watch them revive while thawing out in the water. However, about one in every three attempts fails, shattering the frog to pieces. were bad enough...
Youmu	Figures. It's the spirits then...Um, err, well, good luck on your romantic endeavors.

??? 	Eek! Someone else is here?!
 	Shirley Wollstone LEAVES
Youmu 	Hey! Where do you think you're going?
 	Shirley Wollstone ENTERS
??? 	Why are you following me? I'm sort of busy here.Could you kindly leave?
Youmu 	Busy like this? Sounds a bit suspicious.
??? 	I can't afford to be interrupted right now!
 	Shirley Wollstone LEAVES
Youmu 	It's not like a human to cause a commotion such as this, but...
Youmu 	So many spirits and zombies, I can barely see where she's gone to.
??? 	I see you're still after me.
 	Shirley Wollstone ENTERS
 	Human Traveling Through the Dreams of GhoulsShirley Wollstone
Shirley	U-Ummm... I know this is all still a dream, but could you please put that sword down?
Youmu 	Oh, don't worry. I won't slice you up unless you give me a valid reason to do so.So what is an outsider human like you doing here?If you die now, I'm sure your soul will be sucked into whatever madness this is.Assuming you're not of the guilty party.
Shirley	Yeah! I mean, no! I'm not responsible for this.But this high surge of paranormal activity caused me to enter this place again.Usually, it feels more like a dream, so everything is really vague.But this time, it all feels so real... So I'm researching as much as I can.
Youmu 	Well, I live in a realm of ghosts, so I guess I could answer your questionsat a later date, if you ever manage to visit again. But you should leave now.
Shirley	I'll be okay. See this book? It's an actual grimoire I found a long time ago.I've been studying some magic too, so I can fight off nightmares!
Youmu 	Usually, this is more Reimu's territory, but the Barrier between our worlds works in mysterious ways,so if you get injured or die, it might carry over. That just doesn't sit well with me.
Shirley	If that's the case, then that means I could also bringsouvenirs and whatnot with me, huh?Let's see... I know there was a protective spell somewhere in this grimoire...
 	BGM: Dreamwalking Girl
Shirley	Ah hah!!! Found it!If I use this, there's no way I wouldn't be able to return withgreat amounts of paranormal records unharmed!Now, what would you magic people say before a danmaku battle?Oh yeah, "In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!""In the name of the moon, I'll punish you!" is Sailor Moon's most famous catchphrase, and to first transform into Sailor Moon.
 	Shirley Wollstone DEFEATED
Shirley	Ack! I give, I give~
Youmu 	So what would an ordinary girl say after she loses a danmaku battle?
Shirley	"I've got myself into a bit of a sticky wicket", perhaps?
Youmu 	...Do you have anything of value to say before you go back?
Shirley	Uh, well, there's this one graveyard...

 	Sachiko Hotarumiya ENTERS
??? 	Gahahahaha! Lookie what we got here! A human fry, let's scare the hell outta her, fellow spirits!
 	Sachiko Hotarumiya LEAVES
Youmu 	Huh, that outsider girl from before wasn't lying.I do feel a lot of energy coming from around this area...Speaking of, why is the Tower of Purgatory floating about like that?!Lady Yuyuko mentioned it's not supposed to be visible...
??? 	Hold it right there!
 	Sachiko Hotarumiya ENTERS
??? 	Release that phantom at once!
Youmu 	Excuse me?
??? 	You've got it leashed to you like a pet!That's a ghost friend, and ghost friends must come join our uprising!
Youmu 	And who the hell are you to tell me what to do with it?
 	Spirit of the Grudge FiresSachiko Hotarumiya
Sachiko	Teehehe! Name's Sachiko!I'm like a general leading some of these spirits.It's for the rebellion, so I'm gonna have to take that lil' fella from you.
Youmu 	That's my other body you're talking about.I'm a half-human half-phantom, I'd never give up my other half to the likes of you.
Sachiko	Half.... phantom? That doesn't make any sense!You're either dead or alive, no in-between!Goin' full phantom and joining us should be your next course of action.
Youmu 	Help me understand at least one bit,why are you spirits and zombies going on a revolt?
Sachiko	To avenge the directionless dead! There's so many vulgar spirits with grudgesagainst their past lives and some are even in denial of their deaths.Sooo we're now being given purpose.It's pretty fair, your ghost half would agree!
Youmu 	I'm afraid my human side won't, though.My Roukanken will slice through your unruly army,and you will lead me to whoever is causing this, vengeful spirit!
 	BGM: Tread Lightly on the Vengeful Fire ~ Forsaken Nirvana
Sachiko	I seeee! Well then, I'll just be takin' your soul.Become a full phantom, rejoicing in the exhilaration of death...And burn with the grave flames of hell! Gahahahaha!
 	Sachiko Hotarumiya DEFEATED
Sachiko	Ehhh!?I'm done foooooooooor!
Youmu 	Now, before I use my Hakurouken to slice you into nirvana...Why's the Tower of Purgatory going on and about?Lots of spirits are coming out of it, aren't they?
Sachiko	Uuugh! Y-Yes, many of them are... And our undead peeps rejoice with it too...My master might be there, but I dunno anything else!
Youmu 	Hmm... This all sounds like the work of a necromancer...But to go to such lengths... They gotta be a very powerful one.
Sachiko	Hey, umm, can your sword actually slice phantoms up? -sweat-
Youmu 	Don't worry, it will clear you of all your confusions and grudges.

 	The Tower of Purgatory
 	BGM: Soul Harvest Tower
 	Xiuying Lin ENTERS
 	Xiuying Lin DEFEATED
Youmu 	That ghost from before was concealing this whole passage?Well, those stairs were starting to get on my nerves.And the ones at the Netherworld are already bothersome as is, so...
??? 	My oh my, a human?
 	Colette de la Croix ENTERS
??? 	A human... But perhaps not truly?Are you somehow stuck between the realms of the living and the dead, dear?
Youmu 	I, uhh... I guess you could say that.Not necessarily stuck, just more of a hybrid between both "realms".
??? 	Oh my, truly interesting!It is not often you get to see a human with a phantom half.But then again, in a way Mercury...Oh, apologies. Where are my manners?
 	Undead SongstressColette de la Croix
Colette	I am Colette de la Croix, an elite advocate of the rebellion.May I ask who could you be, and what is your business here?Perhaps you are here to seek death's full blessing, yes?
Youmu 	Getting a bit ahead of ourselves here, huh? -sweat-I'm Youmu Konpaku, a gardener of the Netherworld.You, uhh... look like someone who would know of that place.
Colette	The Netherworld?!Why, of course! High in the sky, it is similar to the Tower of Purgatory in a sense.Spirits and phantoms calmly waltzing, waiting to achieve Nirvana, am I correct?
Youmu 	You're not far off, but this purgatory here is...Even more of a "waiting room". If what Lady Yuyuko said is true, spirits here aren't even sureif they're going to the Netherworld... I mean, they haven't even crossed the Sanzu River, have they?
Colette	You are well-informed, indeed. It is because of the dreadful limbothese spirits are in, that our uprising is taking place.That, and because of how powerful we, the undead, can become.
Youmu 	Yeah, about that "uprising", could you please cut it off?Humans and youkai alike are being affected, and the sole purpose of thesespirits is to be judged into their afterlife.Causing them to hold onto their grudges is just plain cruel!And for the sake of seeking more power too? Are you that brain-rotten?
Colette	Ufufufu, straight to the point, all of a sudden!But I am (not so) afraid it's not up to my jurisdiction to do so.Like I said, I'm a higher advocate for our invasion.This is all up to my dear friend, but you do not need to go any further.
Youmu 	I'm going through until I put a stop to your big tantrums!What makes you think I would stop here?
 	BGM: The Primadonna's Blinding Love
Colette	A charming, beautiful song!Yes yes, a song that will teach you the wonders of death!Oh you, who has not yet experienced full potential...Shall merge into one with your ghostly half, and become a sworn member of our insurrection!
 	Colette de la Croix DEFEATED
Colette	Ufufu... How troublesome, yet so fascinating.Your strength as a hybrid truly shows! Imagine if your human side was not dragging you down...
Youmu 	My human side makes me think clearly,and have some common sense unlike you zombies.
Colette	Zombie is such an ugly world!That's no way of calling a fancy, beautiful woman such as myself.
Youmu 	Just rotten to the core.There's no point still talking to you, soI'll go deal with this friend of yours now.
Colette	Hmm, I reckon this is not good for us. My acquaintances will be upset...I will have to alert Lady Mercury shortly... Excuse me, dear!
 	Colette de la Croix LEAVES
Youmu 	Huh? Wait!!!...I-I guess I'll just go in after you, then...
