Man, what's even the point of adapting iamp if you're not going to have Suika poo poo-talk absolutely everyone involved.Oh well, at least it gave an excuse for them to arrange one of the best Touhou themes, even though I think the original "Missing Power" is better. Also, it's nice that they're giving Mokou and Komachi a plotline of sorts since they're not really connected to the games that are being adapted, it gives them something to do.

Oh hey nice to see this back!  So wait those three attacks are all of Suika's repertoire? And her finisher consists of jumping on your head? I guess when you hit like a freight train you don't need to get fancy but that's weird after all the hype.

It's a shame she doesn't have her weird attack where she rips out her hair and turns them into mini versions of herself. That was one of the weirder ones from the fighting games.

Thanks for letting me know. ... ...Who are you? What are you doing here? My name is Koishi. You're the local youkai? How annoying. If you're going to get in my way, then- ! And then Koishi vanished. Huh? She's gone? When did she- Koishi posted:I thought you two were dueling, not me. ...! What? How did you get over there? You had no presence at all for a moment. Just who are you? So when are you going to start fighting again? If possible, can it be sooner rather than later? I want to see the whole thing, so I can give my sister the blow-by-blow. We're not playing around you know. ... This isn't fun anymore. I'll let you go for today. You gonna turn tail and run, Yuuka?! Heh heh, there's no need to rush. I'll fight you again someday. Besides, I have somewhere else to be. And where is that? It's been a pleasure, Alice. I'll visit again later.Yuuka leaves. Gah! That little... Does she thinks she can say whatever she wants and get away with it?! Oh, it's over already? I was hoping to see a drawn out, bloody battle. Don't say unpleasant things like that. I'm glad the fighting's over. So, who are you anyway? Where are you from? And why did you come here, of all places? I'm Koishi, a simple tourist. A tourist? The Forest of Magic isn't a place for sightseeing you know. Wait, something's coming!Music: Reinforcements - Theme of the Detestable Youkai  Zenki posted:...  ... Youkai crows? What are they doing here? Oh, I guess I've been found. Have I been showing myself a bit too often? Those crows came looking for you? Somehow I don't think they're your friends though. ...Zenki approaches. ...! Looks like they're going to attack. Let's fight 'em off then! I need to vent off some steam anyway. I'm not sure how I should feel about that, but it is true that we need to do something. Is that so? Should I leave them to you then? All right, let's go you two! quote:Victory: Either defeat or force one of Zenki or Goki to retreat.  More filler. If you're curious, yes, the map is a winter version of 2M. Priority one, as you'd expect,  is to check out these flowers! Huh? Are these flowers blooming in the middle of winter? Well, sorry you guys. Right now I've got a more interesting flower to play with, so I can't get distracted.It's another bonus conversation spot. As you'd expect, Alice and Nitori also have words to say. It's the flowers Yuuka brought me. Japanese camellias and winter jasmines, hmm. I believe these are Himalayan, or something like that. If she just brought flowers I'd be happy, but why did she have to bring trouble too? Even though it's the middle of winter, these flowers are blooming. Weird. Were they specially bred or something? But is it really natural to bloom in the winter?And despite being an uncontrollable neutral unit, Koishi has a conversation too. Oh, are these the surface's flowers? I should bring some back with me and decorate the house.I have no idea how you're even supposed to see this.  Koishi posted:There's finally some fighting going on, so I'd better see it from up close. Koishi runs closer to the enemy force. H-hey, it's not safe over there! It's fine. I came all this way, so I need to make this worth my while. Wow, these sure are different from the crows I know. They don't smell like carrion, and they've got some kind of spirit in them. She seems comfortable enough out there. Did she even need our help? More importantly, it looks like the crows are ignoring her completely. Is she using some kind of ability? Save it for later. Let's clean up the trash first. And it figures that right after I say that, for the first time ever in my 10+ playthroughs Koishi runs towards the flowers instead of the enemy.  Those white tiles you could just barely see represent Koishi's ability, Cognizance Stealth. It prevents both player and enemy units from attacking her, and anybody who stands in her field gets the same effect.  I wasted one of my five turns on those bonus conversations, but I can still do this. Just gotta go fast. Music: Be a Shooting Star So we have a girl named Koishi, and crows chasing after her. What's going on here? Well, whatever. I've got all this anger, might as well take it out on them!These lines are only supposed to play against the "bosses", Zenki and Goki, but I guess something broke.  There's nothing special about the enemies, so the chapter's as simple as charging in.  Note that this kedama can't counter Alice; that's because Alice is standing in Koishi's field. Of course Marisa would get angry after everything Yuuka said. She always speaks without thinking. I wish she'd stop and reflect on her actions. I had Marisa zoom right into the middle of the enemy swarm. She was Focused so the danmaku penalties didn't cripple her evasion, and took just enough graze damage to zero out enemy hit rates with Instinct Dodge. This is a pretty risky strategy, but eh. Gotta spice things up.  Then I had Alice run right next to her and slammed Zenki with Artful Sacrifice + Master Spark. The crows flee at about 40% HP I think, so that's this chapter over with. ... There were three kedamas left to defeat, but meh. Probably should have at least had Marisa cast Valor so I could have at least killed Zenki and got some points, but again meh. If you defeat them, Zenki and Goki drop a Frozen Frog and a Rat's Tail respectively. The way these crows are moving is weird. It's like they're following a computer program. Hmm, I wish I could capture one and study it... This isn't the time for that though.As intended, Nitori only speaks if she fights Zenki/Goki. She never got there, but thanks to the text dump I have the line anyways. That takes care of that. They weren't anything special. Oh... so that wasn't a big deal? I got to see something interesting. What was up with those crows though? They seemed like they were someone's familiars. You said you were Koishi, right? No reason to stand around in the cold, let's talk inside. I don't mind talking. Let's head in then. I'll make some tea. ------ quote:Margatroid Residence Full Text quote:
------  So, has Magical Girl Kurumi picked out her transformation chat yet? Yup, I thought up of all sorts of things but I guess I should have known I should keep things simple. Like a demon calling himself Demon Man. If you keep up that line of thought, you'll end up like Koakuma. You want to be respected as a devil, right? Why not go for something more erotic? H-huh? What, got a problem with that? No, but that seems really embarrassing... I guess you're still too young for something like that then.

 It's actually pretty useful to have movement boosting items for this chapter. Unfortunately this isn't a carry over save so I don't have the Tengu's Clogs Remilia dropped, and I didn't beat Aya so no dice there either.  But I have a billion PP so I can just picked up Unfocused Movement. ------  quote:Hakurei Shrine quote:
 quote:Kourindou Full Text quote:
 quote:A Winter for Young Maidens  Sanae posted:Get back here!  So they're chasing me? What persistent humans. Hold up, what's going on? She's a burglar! I found her skulking in the storeroom! Someone tried to rob me?! Don't tell me you took something valuable? Don't worry, I was just looking for food. My poor little baby rats will go hungry if I don't find something soon. You're pretty bold for a rat. But you won't fool me with an obvious lie like that. I admit it, I was careless. I must've gotten too excited after picking up a reading with a high rarity value. What do you mean by that?  Suika posted:Sheesh, you left me behind. What's the rush? ...!? An oni? Well, this is a surprise. Maybe you're the source of that rare reading I picked up? Oh, you're going to fight with us? Just this once. Drinking by yourself is no fun. I have a lot of experience exterminating mice, but do you think you can handle it, Sanae? Absolutely. I'm going to make this my youkai extermination debut. Lady Yasaka, Lady Moriya, please watch over me. Your humble servant is going to show you a splendid battle. Oh, good luck with that. I'll be going now. Nazrin books it. Wait, you're just gonna run?! Obviously. What kind of burglar would stop running just because you asked nicely? Just like Sakuya in chapter 3, Nazrin's goal is the top right corner. Just gonna say this now though, there's no way I can reach there before her. She's trying to flee off that way. I suppose we just have to catch her before she gets there then?I guess the irony is lost on Sakuya. Simple enough. Let's get this party started! quote:Victory: Either defeat or force Nazrin to retreat.  If you were wondering, yes, the map's a winter version of 4M.  The main reason this chapter exists is to go over Sanae's Faith system. The characters themselves explain it, but there's no point in translating that when I can just explain it. Basically whenever Sanae does an action, be it killing an enemy, dodging, or even just moving, she gains a certain amount of Faith. At each 10% interval her attacks get stronger (and cost more MP), her attributes are buffed, and her moveset unlocks at certain milestones. At 10% she can use Moses Miracle, at 20% her barrier activates, and at 30% she can use Summon Takeminakata. The only way for the faith gauge to decrease is if Sanae does absolutely nothing that turn, or by using her finishers; the faith percentage you need to reach to use them is how much they cost. I used to have a list of the exact numbers for all of this, but I seem to have lost it. Main thing to note is that most faith gains are really small, so if you want Sanae to hit max faith you'll have to work for it. Oh and fun fact: if you hack the faith gauge to over 100%, the game will accept it and continue to increase Sanae's attack. The gauge itself will even fill in more, which can look really silly at like 1000%.  Sanae still has Miracle, but she can't use it just yet. Along with its regular effect, it also boosts the faith gauge by 20%.  I'm supposed to get the bonus by having Suika pop Missing Power (which turns her size to LL for one turn) then attack from point blank, but no point bothering with Reimu this buffed up. Now that I think about it, I guess I'm Sanae's senior as far as being a shrine maiden goes. I guess I'll have to act like it too then. This is a pretty good place to show her what I can do! Reimu actually missed the first time, so I just reloaded the chapter. Which was really silly of me since Reimu could easily one shot any of the nearby crows, and because I forgot to rearrange Reimu and Sakuya's setup again. This bit me in the rear end later. Alright, time to do some pre-drinking warm ups. Look you drunk, we're in the middle of a danmaku battle. Could you be serious for once? You can say that, but it's no fun playing with small fry like that. Hey! I'll be going easy on you, so feel free to give me all you got! As you've no doubt come to expect, Suika and Sanae are useless here without upgrades.  But even Sakuya won't do that hot because on Lunatic these Kedamas have absolutely jacked accuracy modifiers. This wouldn't be an issue if I had Support Defenders so I could counter on enemy phase, but I don't.  Oh dear, I'm still holding those cups from earlier. It'd be a little too avant-garde to bring back broken goods, so I'd best be careful as I fight. Pretty much the best I can do is rely on outranging the grunts. Sanae and Suika are going to get a lot of mileage out of Sakuya's Support Attack. Huh? The actual victory requirement? Eh, Reimu can handle it. (So now even I'm participating in danmaku battles. I feel like I've grown much more accustomed to Gensokyo. Bit by bit, I'm falling for this land's charms...) Music: Brand New Wind  While Suika can at least take a hit (especially if she casts Guard), Sanae can't dodge or tank anything. She's utterly useless.  The main annoyance with this chapter is dealing with all the danmaku in the way.  Thankfully, enemies are more than happy to suicide themselves on Reimu.  Even five levels of Instinct Dodge, Focus, and ignoring evasion penalties can't zero out kedama hit rates. RIP Sanae. I still need more training... Suika starts landed because she has a B rank in Air. I had her fly anyways mostly because why not.  Reimu finished cleaning up all the grunts by the next player phase. That gives me two turns to stop Nazrin. Alright then, you're not getting away! So you made it to me. Figures that ordinary methods wouldn't cut it. What, you seriously still think you can escape? You're a very rare opponent. I guess I must have unconsciously stayed behind to watch. And you're quite composed for a rat. Well, let's begin the extermination. Yeah, it's cold out here. I don't want to spend any more time than I have to on a problem this small. First you say you'll exterminate me, then you call me a small problem. You're awfully rude for humans. Sorry, but if you don't take mice seriously... you'll die.Music: A Simple Family Unaffected by Rust  Even Reimu can't force Nazrin to flee in one hit,  but Nazrin's AI has her prioritize attacking over fleeing, mostly so you don't get screwed over. It's a nice gesture on Sanbondo's part. Oh, it's that human from before. Boring. I am not! Oh, please don't take that the wrong way. I came here to find some a meal. By the way, my mice tell me you're a treasure to. Is that so? Well, I am a human treasure. No, not like that. My mice do like the taste of human flesh. They say that cheese just can't compare to certain other red foods.After surviving that, it's just a matter of running up and dropping Fantasy Seal. Unfortunately, Reimu's out of SP so the best hit rate she can get is 58%. I guess I used more SP than I should have getting here.  I'm not feeling very lucky and don't want to redo this chapter, so I dropped a save here. Thank god I decided I could do that for Lunatic runs.  I reset for a bit fishing for a critical (here's where my early reload screwed me over; I forgot to reequip Youkai Buster) before I eventually realized it didn't matter. Reimu just had to drop another Fantasy Seal next turn. Whoops. I'd expect as much from an oni, but even these humans are better than I expected. You're pretty slippery for someone so lazy. Give me your best shot. That was the plan. Here, have a taste of my best danmaku! Reimu, she's coming! Alright, this is what I've been waiting fo- Nazrin rushes to the other side of the map. Wait, what? Did you really think I'd go for a fair fight that I probably couldn't win? Thanks for letting me get away. Hey! Get back here! Our fight isn't over yet! I'm not interested in that sort of thing, so let's just say you won. Well then, take care not to catch cold.Nazrin leaves. She, she got away. She even said she'd fight you fair and square... She fooled us with her little act. We should have expected a rat to be sneaky. Well, I guess that's just another way to survive. Anyway, if we're done here, how about we take a break back inside?  ------ quote:Kourindou Full Text quote:
 Clearing this chapter gets me some of Sakuya's Tea. Kind of annoying Reimu gets this seven chapters after Marisa, but at least she gets it.  Music: What's the Strategy? Full Text quote:

This next bit appears in both routes. quote:White Jade Belvedere I actually debated over whether or not I should translate Hakugyokuro, since it and Eientei are kind of awkwardly sitting around untranslated while all other major Touhou locations got english names (including the japanese as hell Great Mausoleum, so no excuse there). I eventually just flipped a coin, and it landed on heads. So blame George Washington I guess! Despite being named after a tower, Touhou's Hakugyokuro is just a mansion. I was considering renaming it White Jade Mansion for a bit, but then read on the wiki that the place was a shrine. "Cool," I thought, "that means I can name it White Jade Pagoda, which sounds much more asian." Then Clarste pointed out I probably shouldn't be trusting the wiki so blindly so I went looking around the databooks, and lo and behold it's just described as a mansion. So that left me with the more basic White Jade Tower until Clarste came to the rescue with a thesaurus. Full Text quote:

Oh sweet a double update. Now that you've shown off Sanae's player theme can you have her finisher theme replace it? It's a lot better. Also, is this the first time this song's been played? Because it's one of my favourite tracks on the OST and probably the best of the conversation tracks, Night Sakura just makes for pretty atmospheric music. Anyway i'm voting for Komachi leaving us with 12.
