Amapani translation by Teradramon Teradramon. --- Dialogue with Nazrin in world 1-7: Marisa: Well, it should be around here. Alice: I haven't asked you yet, but do you understand our objective? Marisa: Of course I do ze. To recover our magic items that someone stole from us. Patchouli: So, is the culprit here? Nitori: It's a dead end and it seems there are only wild youkai. Marisa: On the contrary. You are there, aren't you? Nazrin: Oh dear, I wonder if the fact that the location of my house is known is the Gensoukyou Engi's fault. (Gensoukyou Engi is Hieda no Akyuu's script with the youkai living in Gensoukyou.) Nitori: Ah, it's a mouse. Nazrin: I don't know the details but from what I heard I assume I am being suspected, aren't I? Marisa: Right when my Hakkero (Eight Trigram Furnace) disappeared there was a suspicious mouse. Alice: Really? Patchouli: No idea. Nitori: Was there one? Marisa: There was! Well, are you the culprit? Nazrin: No. And if I were the culprit, I wouldn't say yes, so there's no meaning in answering. Marisa: You're not trying to deny it, so you're the suspect. Nazrin: If I were the culprit, I wouldn't be around this place, would I? And by the way, what was stolen in the first place? Marisa: My Hakkero, Patchouli's Philosopher Stone, and Alice's Giant Doll. Nazrin: Those are not food, so there's no way mice would even try to eat them. Alice: Anyway, I don't think this is a good place to hide my Goliath Doll, don't you agree? Marisa: Ah, well, that may be. Nazrin: Have I been cleared of the charge? In that case, please go. Marisa: No! The stolen items could have been hidden in another place! Nazrin: How persistent... Patchouli: Erm, are you the mouse who is good at finding things? Nazrin: Yes, I am, but are you really implying that I have to help you after I was being suspected? Patchouli: In order to prove your innocence, yes. Nazrin: Huh, there doesn't seem any way to convince those humans soon so, it can't be helped. Nazrin: But there's a condition. I don't like that I am the only one helping. Nitori: Condition? Nazrin: Yup, right now I am strengthening the Pendulum. Nazrin: I want you to test its hardness right now. Alice: By Pendulum you mean a pendulum? (Yes, this translation makes no sense because the word for pendulum in Japanese is different from Nazrin's pendulum's name Pendulum.) Strength and hardness, is that how you use a pendulum? Marisa: I don't think that's a phrase to say from a person who uses dolls as explosives ze. Nitori: So, all we have to do is to break that? Nazrin: Yeah, but try not to break it in a single blow. I need to collect some data. Marisa: I don't mind ze. I don't have the Hakkero to use it anyway. Nazrin: Negotiations are over. Oh, and don't bother attacking me since... Nazrin: I would attack you back. While practicing real life combat. *BOSS FIGHT* Nazrin: Hmm, that will do it. Good job, I have enough data. Alice: With this will you cooperate with us? Nazrin: Well, I have spare time now. Patchouli: Huh, the real search will begin now. Nitori: Hey hey, now it's time to motivate ourselves. Marisa: I've been curious since the beginning, but why are you even here? Nitori: Good will. Marisa: What an untrustworthy good will. Nazrin: So, the items you're looking for were... Marisa: My Hakkero, Patchouli's Philosopher Stone, and Alice's Goliath Doll ze. Nazrin: That's a bunch of items I don't know about. Nazrin: Basically, mice are the one who do the search and they cannot find things they don't understand or aren't too big. Nazrin: Therefore, I will go with that black and white belonging of yours, is that okay? Marisa: I don't mind ze. I bet all of them are in the same place. Nazrin: I see, well then I will make them do the search, so wait a little bit. .............. Nazrin: It seems there was some reaction. Marisa: Oh, where? Nazrin: It's near, in the middle of that forest. Alice: That... one, the Forest of Magic? Marisa: That's our home. By no means you're saying it's in my house, huh. Nazrin: No, it's in the forest, but not in your houses. Nazrin: Just in case, I will search a little more, so meanwhile you can go look inside the forest. Nitori: That's the same as waiting. Pathcouli: We don't know what will happen if we find it before, so it can't be helped. --- Dialogue with the fairies in world 2-2: Marisa: Oh, I think I know these guys. Patchouli: That is... Sunny Milk: Geh! Marisa! Star Sapphire: Alice too... Alice: Ah, those girls are good candidates for culprits. Luna Child: W- Why!? There's no way that we would've been exposed. Sunny Milk: S- Stupid! Marisa: It seems they confessed immediately ze. Nitori: Alright, let's beat them up! Marisa: Is she cooperating with us or working unilaterally... Sunny Milk: Luna, take responsibility and buy us some time! Star Sapphire: I believe in you~ Luna Child: Responsibility you say, but it's the same as always... Marisa: Well, it should be okay to capture one of them. Luna Child: Guh... Luna Child: Alright then! Using all my power, I'll show you how I can escape from this! Patchouli: Cool but lame at the same time. Alice: Huh, the damage would've been minimum if you just stayed obedient. Nitori: Alright, let's beat them...! Marisa: Up ze. *CHASE BEGINS* Marisa's message during the chase: Let's chase her ze! And stomp her ze! *CHASE ENDS* Luna Child: Urgh. Alice: Phew, we captured her. Marisa: Now, will you tell us the whereabouts of our goods? Luna Child: ... Marisa: Heeeey. Patchouli: It's useless, she's completely unconscious. Marisa: What... Nitori: You overdid it, Marisa. Marisa: What... Alice: What will you do? Marisa: We can chase the other two while we wait until she wakes up. Alice: You... --- Dialogue with the fairies in 2-4: Marisa: We found you ze! Sunny Milk: Ah, they already caught up! Star Sapphire: ...And Luna is resting in peace, poor Luna. Alice: No, she's not dead. Nitori: Now it's your turn! Sunny Milk: Hye! Marisa: Don't threaten them. Patchouli: If you don't give us back our objects immediately I will add you to my insect collection. Sunny Milk: Gyee! Marisa: As- I- said. Alice: ...Huh, and the other one? Sunny Milk: Eh, ah! Star! She left me behind! Marisa: I always think about it, but you really don't get along well with each other, do you? Sunny Milk: Crap, I'll remember this... Patchouli: See? There's no need to cover her. If you don't want to get hurt, give them back to us. Sunny Milk: B- But... Patchouli: ? Sunny Milk: Even if I tell you, I'll get hurt, so no way I'm telling you! Patchouli: You must have some nerve to respond like that. Choose the one you prefer the most, do you want to be burnt, drowned, or torn into pieces? Marisa: Wait wait, if we repeat the same failure as before we will lose everything. Nitori: In that case, let's beat her up! Marisa: You shut up. Sunny Milk: Waaa! As if I'm going to die! Alice: Ah, she escaped. Patchouli: Let's chase her. *CHASE* Patchouli: *Panting* ... We caught her. Sunny Milk: I'm gonna get killed. Marisa: We won't kill you. Alice: We will spare you if you tell us where you have hidden our items. Sunny Milk: Erm, S- Star has them! Marisa: The one who left, huh. Alice: ...? Patchouli: Is it the truth? If it's a lie, I will not respond. Sunny Milk: Hyaaaa... Nitori: If that's the case, let's bind her and bring her with us. Patchouli: Yeah. Marisa: Well then, let's begin the chasing again ze. Sunny Milk: Awawa... Alice: Mmmm. --- Dialogue with the fairies in 2-6: Star Sapphire: Welcome. Marisa: How gallant. Is the chase over? Star Sapphire: It looks like it's useless to escape. Patchouli: If you've given up, return to us what is ours. You have them, don't you? Star Sapphire: Mmh...? Sunny Milk: ...! ...! Star Sapphire: Ah, I see. Selling your friends like that, that's mean, Sunny. Marisa: You're not the one to talk. Star Saphire: But I'll still struggle a little more. Alice: Wasn't the chase over? Star Sapphire: The chase is already over. Star Sapphire: That is why we're going to start... hide and seek. *BATTLE* Nitori: Found ya! Star Sapphire: I was found. Well, my ability is suited to find things, not to hide them. Marisa: Then why hide and seek? Star Sapphire: Buying time. Marisa: Oh? Star Sapphire: And actually it wasn't hide and seek, but cops and robbers. Luna Child: Yay, untied! Sunny Milk: I'm saved! Nitori: Hey hey. Alice: The ability of muting sound, wasn't it? We were too careless. Sunny Milk: The one who made Luna disappear was my power! You weren't paying attention to me so it was meaningless. Star Sapphire: And thanks to my ability I noticed Luna was approaching. Sunny Milk: This is us, the true power of the Three Fairies of Light! Marisa: ... Alice: ... Patchouli: ... Nitori: ... Sunny Milk: Ah, huh? You don't seem surprised... Marisa: Yeah, well, no? Patchouli: Let's capture them at the same time. Sunny Milk: Time for our true hide and seek! Luna Child: If you think you can capture us... Star Sapphire: Go ahead and capture us! Nitori: Ah, they escaped again. Alice: Has the hide and seek already started? Patchouli: I wonder if we have to count to 10. Marisa: When you are done counting, let's begin the hunt ze. --- Dialogue before and after the boss fight in 2-8: Alice: You're cornered. Marisa: Weeell, accept your fate. Star Sapphire: Sorry, but not yet. Nitori: We found you, isn't the hide and seek over? Luna Child: We're sorry, but this is going to get started. Sunny Milk: If we're in a sunny place, we can use our full power! Sunny Milk: Without hearing any sound, without seeing anything, let's get this advantageous one-sided hide and seek! Patchouli: Let's burn everything in sight into ashes then. Marisa: Stop, please. We live here. *BOSS FIGHT* Sunny Milk: They got us! Luna Child: It eventually turned into this... Star Sapphire: I told you, this was "buying time". Patchouli: Hey, give up already. I will turn you into my samples. Luna Child: A- At least use us as ornament under the moonlight. Sunny Milk: Ah, that's unfair! I want to be under the sunlight. Marisa: Why discuss this? Patchouli: Give us back what you stole! Star Sapphire: Erm, we three already drank it, so there's nothing left. Patchouli: Drank? Alice: Hey, what did you steal again? Sunny Milk: Eh? Well, Marisa's sake. Marisa: What!? Alice: Huh, as I thought. Nitori: You noticed? Alice: Yeah, when she said she "had" it. There's no way you can "have" my Goliath Doll. Alice: Also, if you think about it, that's not possible coming from fairies. Patchouli: I see. It's difficult to think that some wild fairies infiltrated the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Luna Child: (Huh, we actually DID enter once...) Sunny Milk: (Sssh!) Nitori: What, so this was useless. Marisa: It's because their actions are so misleading. Sunny Milk: Sooo, It looks like it's a misunderstanding, so we... Patchouli: You can get lost, please. Luna Child: Ok... Marisa: Umm, you. Sunny Milk: Oops! Marisa: Let's talk about my sake afterwards, okay? Three Fairies of Light: *Trembling* Marisa: We are back. And we were in the wrong. Nazrin: I see. It's because it's based on your smell. Nitori: That sure lacks credibility. Alice: And now that I think about it, could this be the gap youkai's work? She is very well able to do this. Marisa: Yukari? I don't think she's the type to be behind this unusual event. Patchouli: Since the first time I saw her ability, I thought it was a burden and I tried to be alert, but she didn't enter even once. Marisa: Well, to begin with we don't know where she is. Nazrin: Hey, while you were away the next report came. Nitori: Where next? Nazrin: The Bamboo Forest of the Lost. Marisa: Ah, where that lying rabbit lives. Alice: I worry about the fact that she may be the culprit. --- Dialogue with Tewi in 3-5: Marisa: Oh, there she is. Tewi: I thought you were wandering around but you were actually looking for me? Marisa: We were looking for you ze. Alice: By any chance do you have something with Marisa's smell? Marisa: That's a strange way to put it... Tewi: With that in black and white? Mmh... Since rabbits here are usually fed, it should probably stink. Alice: The reaction this time, can this explain it? Marisa: No, no, that mouse dowsing said it's not very useful at finding living or moving things... Tewi: I don't really understand, but isn't that what happened? Marisa: Grrr. Alice: Huh. So, do you have any clue? Tewi: Mmh... Ah, could it be...? Patchouli: Do you know something? Tewi: Maybe it's that, or maybe not, who knows?~ Patchouli: This is troublesome, I'll attack. Marisa: You seem pretty aggressive today. Nitori: If we are going to do it, let's get started! Patchouli: Let's do this. Marisa: You two really are in synch. No, Nitori is just having fun. Tewi: Oh well, 4 at the same time is cowardly and unfair. Tewi: But you came at the right time. Now, in here I have just finished preparing traps for Reisen. Tewi: I don't really care who gets caught, so I'll let you test them. Alice: Hee, is that the mechanism? Nitori: That sounds interesting. I wonder if I can dismantle them! Marisa: Uh, I think they are a little more primitive than that. Tewi: It's not something you can develop. You tengu, kappa, and people from the moon understand nothing. Nitori: Hohoho, how dare you... Tewi: Even if technology and stamina are inferior, if the mind is superior there's always a way, with trickery! *CHASE* Nitori: What? She isn't here. Marisa: After saying those arrogant things, she fled after losing ze. Alice: Should we chase her? She probably said that because it sounded fitting for her, not because she's the culprit. Patchouli: I want to ignore her and go to search somewhere else. Nitori: No way! She picked a fight with us kappa! We must settle this! Patchouli: Then go alone, please. Marisa: Well, she behaved like if she knew something, so let's chase her just in case ze. Nitori: Yes, let's go, go go go! Marisa: Changed my mind, let's actually not. --- Dialogue before and after the boss fight in 3-9: Nitori: We found you! Tewi: Oh, that was pretty fast. Patchouli: *Heavily panting* Alice: Don't start saying unnecessary things and go with a simple "I know nothing". How troublesome... Tewi: I know nothing. Marisa: So it turned useless to come here. Nitori: But we are going to settle the dispute. Tewi: Yes, of course, settle it. Tewi: Reisen will. Reisen: It's despicable of you four, bullying the weak. Marsia: Ugh, she's going to be troublesome in various ways. Patchouli: That's why... I said... to leave them be... *more panting* Reisen: I bet Tewi did something wrong, but she's my family, and above all, I can't stand your four versus one. Alice: But I think only one of them is in really high spirits. Nitori: Then we'll start with you! Marisa: Give her a one versus one, please. We're going back. Reisen: Humph, it's useless even if you try to escape. I've changed the topology of the forest and now you can't leave. Alice: Aah, you stop already... Reisen: Let's go, Tewi! It's a four versus two, but we two can... Huh? Patchouli: As you came, she fled immediately. Reisen: Teeeeeeeeeeeewiiiiiiiiiii! Marisa: Well then, "you four, bullying the weak", was it? Reisen: It's natural to challenge the strong in crowds! Alice: A boss fight, no? Marisa: Then we have to clear the level. Nitori: Get ready! Reisen: Okay... The greater the number of enemies the better I can demonstrate you the true power of my insanity... Reisen: Go insane through my red eyes! Patchouli: Oh my, how embarrassing. *BOSS FIGHT* Reisen: Uuuugh, it really is impossible against four people! Alice: Where did all that motivation go? Marisa: She got too carried away. Patchouli: It looks like her ability already faded. Let's get out of here. Nitori: Yes yes, let's go, let's go. Alice: And that rabbit from before? Nitori: I lost interest. Alice: Let's leave her... the kappa I mean. Marisa: She persists in coming with us. Tewi: Did they already leave? Tewi: Hehehe, the initial plan "Reisen falling in a trap" was a total success! Tewi: It's more interesting to involve irregulars rather than doing the same as always. Tewi: Well then, what could I do next?~ Nazrin: Mmmh... you don't mean... Marisa: Yep, another failure. Now where? Nitori: You're getting desperate. Nazrin: Huh, welcome back. Now... it seems the smell is coming from the cemetery. Alice: This time you didn't say it after hesitating a little bit. Nazrin: How should I put it... Nazrin: Two reports came from the mice and after thinking a little I decided to go with the closest one. Patchouli: When this happens, the place where we go first will be a miss. Tell us the other one. Nazrin: How annoying, anyways that's the plan, now just go without complaining. --- Dialogue before and after the mid-boss fight in 4-4: Alice: As expected from the Youkai Temple, it's full of youkai. Marisa: But it's good that no Karakasa, Yamabiko, nor cats carrying dead bodies have appeared. Yoshika: And here's where I come in! Nitori: It's because Marisa said unnecessary things! Marisa: Ah, there she is... Marisa: Your bosses don't get along, do they? It's strange that you don't get exterminated wandering in here. Yoshika: Exterminated? Can you drink that? Do you peel it before? Patchouli: We can't hold a conversation, although it's not a full moon. Marisa: Well, she is incorporeal all year around so... hey, you. Yoshika: Yes! Marisa: That hat you're wearing, it looks a lot like mine... Nitori: Well, in fact... Patchouli: No matter how you look at it... Alice: That's Marisa's hat. Yoshika: Ugh, are you trying to take it from me? I won't let you! I won't let you!! Marisa: Well, take it from you... it's mine I think... Alice: But, if she's holding something from Marisa, this means we maybe finally got it. Patchouli: Hey, you, where did you find that? Yoshika: Grrrrrrr!! Nitori: It's useless, she won't listen. Patchouli: Let's defeat her. Yoshika: Ah, wait wait. I need to do warming-up exercises for my elasticity. Nitori: Urgh, those are some moves you only see in dreams... *BATTLE* Yoshika: I'm done fooooor! I cannot keep oooooon! Alice: You look like you could continue. Marisa: Ah, that really is the hat I thought I lost. Hey, where did you get this? Yoshika: Once upon a time, from an old lady with wavy skin... Patchouli: She doesn't feel like answering properly, does she? Nitori: It doesn't seem like she has the function to answer properly. Marisa: If I remember correctly, she has an owner. If we asked her instead... Seiga: Did you perhaps call me? Yoshika: No, we didn't! Marisa: Yes, we did! But, why are you both here so calm in enemy territory? Seiga: Enemy territory? ... Ah, I'm not really the Prince's subordinate, so there's no problem. Marsia: Everyone we meet is unconscious about what's going on. Seiga: More important than that, I don't understand the circumstances, but you really showed your warm affection to my Yoshika. Nitori: Oh, things don't look good. Alice: Well, I think that a composition like 4 versus 1 will only go in the wrong direction. Seiga: Let's talk about the details inside. Yoshika, first let's concentrate on healing you. Yoshika: Healing magic hurts me, so please use poison magic. Patchouli: Should I cast magic on her? Alice: They're not here anymore. Huh, we'll fight them the next time we meet, won't we? Marisa: After all, we talk by fighting. --- Dialogue before and after the boss fight in 4-8: Seiga: So you're finally here. Marisa: I'll just say this just in case, but we weren't trying to bully her. Patchouli: We were only trying to make her obedient since talking was pointless. Nitori: But Patchouli, you looked fully motivated! Alice: Don't say inappropriate things. Seiga: Mh? Ah, I'm not angry at all. Seiga: I'm sure she was just mischieving and you played with her with affection, didn't you? Seiga: It seems as though you want to talk to me. That's why you went through all the effort to come here. Alice: Quite sharp for being a hermit. Seiga: Being a hermit does not imply being an incarnation of evil. It's only by chance that my means are evil. Marisa: I'm grateful that this will end by chatting. It's about that hat she's wearing. Yoshika: Wey! Seiga: Ah, about that. One day I picked it from some house somewhere and gave it to her as a present. Isn't she cute? Marisa: ... Hey. Seiga: Mmh? Seiga: Ah... Seiga: Ah, yes yes yes. Seiga: Mmh, ahem. How dare you bully my Yoshika! Prepare yourselves! Nitori: She's avoiding the situation! Patchouli: But it looks like she's actually a thief. Seiga: Let's go, Yoshika. It's time for revenge. Yoshika: Wooooo! Japanese giant salamander! Alice: So it came to this... Marisa: After all, we talk by fighting. *BOSS FIGHT* Seiga: Phew, I'm sorry, Yoshika, but you have to give back that hat. Marisa: I thought that I lost that hat, so no need to worry. Seiga: Is that so? Aren't you happy, Yoshika? Yoshika: I can't bend my arms so I can't take it off. Seiga: ... Alice: Whatever, you stole something more from us, didn't you? Seiga: Huh? I wonder... I got more things from more places but I can't remember them all. Patchouli: My philosopher stone, a small furnace, and a giant doll. Seiga: Mmmm... I think I should remember about those peculiar objects but I have no recollection at all. Patchouli: Stop lying. Nazrin: It's not a lie. Nitori: Oh? Why are you here? Patchouli: What do you mean it's not a lie? Nazrin: Exactly how it sounds. The true culprit is somewhere else and these here have no connection with the case. Alice: So was the other report true? Nazrin: Yeah, it was. Nazrin: Huh, it points a relative which I'm ashamed of, so I wanted to discard it, but we are only left with this one. Marisa: Relative? Do you mean... Nazrin: Yes, I mean. Were you listening? Nazrin: Houjuu Nue! ???: They already noticed. Marisa: A nue... Are you the cuplrit? Nue: It seems as I cannot longer escape. Yes, I am. Alice: Just in case... will you return us what's ours immediately? Nue: I still haven't fulfilled my goal. Sorry, but I can't right now. Patchouli: Then we have no other option than to exterminate you. Nue: I don't think I would lose to you, but I don't have the time. Nue: I scattered seeds inside the temple. Feel the confinement of the unidentified! Nazrin: ...She said. Good luck. Nitori: You say it like's none of your business. Nazrin: She's a shame for the family, but it's none of my business. Not to mention, it's not of my concern what the newcomers do. Nazrin: Well, I will pretty much inform everyone except for Hijiri, who's absent. Nazrin: I don't think they will help but also they won't bother you. Patchouli: Enough. I will beat the heck out of her. Marisa: Whoa, watch what you say... However, we will punish her a liiiittle bit. Alice: I am relieved that we finally see our goal. But it's true that I'm worried she's done strange things to my doll. Nitori: (It doesn't look I can get what I want with these three looking...) Nitori: (There are maybe some other magic items, so I'll stick with them until the end!) Marisa: Well then, let's go, it's time for a great youkai extermination! --- Dialogue before and after the mid-boss fight in 5-5: Marisa: We found you ze! Nue: Tsk, they were faster than I expected. Alice: Last chance, if you return our objects right now we will spare you. Nue: If you say it like that, it's like it never happened at all. Besides, I can't give them back to you. Patchouli: I see. That means you are prepared. Here I go! Nitori: Ah, wait. There's something I want to ask first. how did you steal without these three noticing? Marisa: Ah..., I'm curious too. Patchouli: Let's ask her after we defeat her. Nitori: Eeh, if we defeat her she won't be able to talk for a while, and in the worst case she will die- Nue: Eh? Alice: Well, it's common for villains to tell the whole truth before the final match. Nue: (This could buy me time.) Nue: I didn't use anything special. I just used my ability "Seeds of Unknown Form". Marisa: Do you mean that those "seeds" stole them? Nue: No way. The "seeds" don't have that power. As their name suggests, they give unknown forms where they were planted. Nue: This means that I myself planted those "seeds", I confirmed that they transformed into something you could not suspect, and got them. Marisa: No way, it was that mouse I saw...! Nue: Yes, in your case I made it look like a mouse. Patchouli: Manipulation of perception? No... The way you say it, you can't manipulate it at your will. Nue: It's true that I can't change it as I would like to. Nue: But I have mastered my ability for more than a thousand years. Nue: It's possible to predict it for every era, every person, every perception. Marisa: Grrrrr... Alice: And with that you easily stole them. I dare say those seeds were planted in your targets you wanted to steal. Nue: Correct. To that human there I gave them the appearance of a mouse holding some food. Marisa: Grrrrr! Nue: It could have been possible to be detected and in that case I could just use my real strength, but I wanted to avoid tiring myself. Alice: I see. And my doll... Nue: Huh, I really wanted that powerful book but you have it even while you sleep and you wouldn't let it go. Nue: That's why I stole that huge doll outdoors... It was really heavy... Alice: Ah, that's why... Nitori: But why magical items? Nue: ... Nue: I can't say that. Patchouli: I see, so there's nothing more to ask. Marisa: Yeah, you'll give them back after we punish you. Marisa: My Hakkero! Patchouli: My Philosopher's Stone! Alice: My Goliath Doll! Nitori: I have nothing to say that fits. Nue: Are you implying that you four can defeat me, the legend that threatened peace? Marisa: Did you forget? You already lost once. Nue: I will plant true fear into young girls who don't see the difference between reality and games! *BATTLE* Marisa: Did we do it!? Nitori: When you say that it's because we did not. Patchouli: It seems she fled. Marisa: Tsk, she couldn't have gone too far. Let's search her ze! --- Dialogue before and after the final boss battle in 5-9: Nue: *panting* Marisa: We caught you. Give up already. Nue: I am so close... Patchouli: Let's deliver the final blow. Nue: Guuh...!! Nitori: Umh, what about your final form? Nue: Huh? Nitori: I read in some book that nue have the head of a monkey, the body of a tanuki, limbs of a tiger, and the tail is a snake. Marisa: That's just a legend, her true form is this small... Alice: Now that you say it, I don't think the great youkai nue will end like this. Patchouli: Yeah. The ones being approached and defeated should be us. Marisa: Heeey. Nue: What are you saying... *realization* Nue: Fufufu, yes, the body of this young girl is in fact only a provisional form I use with the power of the unknown. Nue: As a reward for coming this far, I will face you with my true form! Marisa: Eh, but you said before that this is your true form... Nue: That was a lie!! Marisa: R- Really!? Nue: (This is becoming strange, but it's my last chance!) Nue: (With all my seeds, my body, and an ominous cloud...!) Nue: WOOOOooooooooooooOOOOO...!! *NUE TRANSFORMS* Marisa: O- Oh... Patchouli: This is... Alice: The great youkai... nue! Nitori: So cool! Nue: Well, if you want to cry and escape, it's now or never... Now that I am in this form, not even I know how this will end. Marisa: Wow, bring it on! Alice: Until now, in all our many versus one, I think I went easy on the enemy, but now I think I can give my all. Patchouli: The enemy is so big it's hard to miss. Nitori: Yes yes. If you were to build a giant automatic doll, wouldn't it be better with an animal form rather than a human form? Nue: (Huh, aren't they too calm!?) Marisa: Well, now for the true true final battle! Nue: Yes, you're right, the final battle. The last battle of your lives! Nue: I'll tear you up! I'll crunch you! I'll burn you and turn you into ashes!! *FINAL BOSS FIGHT* Nue: Buaaaa... Nitori: Ah, she went back. Marisa: So which is the true form then? Alice: Maybe both. Patchouli: That ended quite fast. Now, give up and give us them back. Nue: I was so... close! Byakuren: My my, you were defeated flashily... Nue: H... Hijiri!! Marisa: Hey, we were just now scolding your problematic child. Byakuren: It looks like it. I heard it from Nazrin. It seems she took your magic items and wandered around... Nue: Ah, Hijiri! I mean...! Byakuren: I understand, Nue. It was for my sake, wasn't it? Alice: Eh? Byakuren: Toyosatomimi no Miko, who appeared recently. She heard somewhere that me and her were having a critical situation, Byakuren: and she wanted to help me in everything she could. Byakuren: But as she didn't know exactly what could help, she reached the conclusion Byakuren: that the best option was to give powerful magical items to me, a magician. Byakuren: It went like this more or less? Nue: Y... yes, more or less like that. Nitori: How gallant. Alice: That's why she said "just a bit more" so many times, she was waiting for you to come back. Byakuren: Nue, I am really grateful, but it's not okay to cause trouble to others for my sake. Nue: Yes... I'm sorry... Byakuren: You should not apologize to me, should you? Nue: I... I'm sowwwrrrryy... Marisa: What's this? Should I laugh? Should I be moved? Alice: If I recover my item, then I really don't care. The one who was the angriest was... Patchouli: ... Byakuren: Afterwards I will tooooooooooughly instruct her and give her a toooooooooough training. Nue: *sobbing* Patchouli: Huh, well I don't care anymore. I got back what was mine after all. Byakuren: Thank you. Nitori: So case closed! Ah, by the way, did you steal anything else besides the ones you stole from these three? I will give them back to their owners. Nue: No, there aren't any more... Nitori: I see. Marisa: I understand now what your goal was... The uproar is over. The items stolen from Marisa and friends were recovered safely, and they didn't lose anything except for a whole day. The only victims were the youkai they slew during the journey. Even though these unusual phenomenons happen all the time, the steady advance of this group of four, was severely scorched into their minds... or something like this.
