I'm still waiting for Elfin Mint's translation.
Wanna know more about her since she is my favorite character in the game.
So shall it be written, so shall it be done.
...or something like that.
The Last Comer Extra Stage Back Story, Midbosses, and Boss info:
Hakurei Shrine
The cherry blossoms that had managed to narrowly escape the danger of the Evil Star Incident were now quietly signalling the end of spring. Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya, and Remilia were all enjoying what would most likely be the last flower viewing event of the season.
Reimu: "Peaceful...soooo peaceful."
Marisa: "Yeah, peaceful. And they thought that this time that new vampire would be causing something."
Remilia: "Ha. Who would ever cause an incident in a Spring that feels this good?"
From under her parasol, the half asleep Remilia gave her reply while rubbing her eyes. No one would have been able to guess she was the infamous devil of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
Even Sakuya, who was diligently standing by holding the parasol, had to stifle a yawn from time to time.
Sakuya: "Though Corin-sama's body is even weaker than the mistress'. While she has settled down now, at that time we had no idea what to do..."
Marisa: "Is it really okay that we relax this much?"
Reimu: "What are you talking about all of a sudden?"
Marisa: "I get the feeling that we are being too calm, you know?"
Reimu: "Is that so? I thought it was just because Spring is that peaceful. Though it does feel like we are forgetting that "peace at any price" attitude..."
Suddenly, what one could only mistake for the winds of the first storm of spring assailed the four girls. As the Cherry Blossom Tree shook, a jet black speck of something fell on Marisa's white apron.
Upon inspection, it seemed to be a fragment of carbonized wood from the fall of the meteorite the other day.
Reimu: "Oh yeah, that pagan lot did end up cleaning everything up, but in the end what was that meteorite?"
Marisa: "Ah, yeah, I was planning on investigating that, but on the way there I got sidetracked and forgot about it."
Sakuya: "According to the prophetic writings, the meteor was supposed to fall and pollute the water. But if that's the case, it's a little strange that it fell in the forest, don't you think?"
Mumumu: "I said this before, but that wasn't me. I was specifically restraining myself from causing problems in Gensokyo."
How long had she been there? Mikaboshi Mumumu sat on the Offertory Box behind Reimu, stirring her sake. Her Japanese dress was frighteningly suitable to the demon king, who satisfied after seeing Reimu's shocked reaction, laughed and disappeared again.
Remilia: "Well, if it wasn't Lucifer, then who was it? I'm pretty sure the angel's side wouldn't try something like that though"
At last, the girls realized the importance of the fact that they didn't yet understand the full situation of the incident at hand. Up until now, why on Earth had they settled down so much without having dealt with the after effects of the meteorite?
Without a word, the three of them quickly set about to their preparations, and at practically the same time headed off to the forest.
Only the puzzled Remilia remained.
Extra Stage Midboss(es)
EX Mid Boss: the Gleeful Shepherd & The Prophet who Gazes at the Night Sky
Marry Shepherd and Phiased Pescar
Merry Mystery: Thunder Wool
Wicked Holy Star: Bethlehem and Wormwood*
At the unexpected release of the prophecy of the end times, Marry received a good scolding from the angels and saints. However, neither anyone in heaven nor she herself could figure out why one fairy in Gensokyo was capable of breaking such an outrageously powerful seal. Unbeknownst to all of them, the prophecy itself said that the one who would open the seal would be a "lamb." Though it didn't literally mean a "lamb," and was actually supposed to indicate Iesua Nazarenus...well, it was an old foreign prophecy, so a few inconsistencies may have ended up appearing. "Don't ever play with Revelations again!"
In the instant when Professor Pescar saw the star from the Evil Star Incident, she was struck with a feeling of d?j? vu. About 2000 years earlier, together with two of her companions, the Professor saw a star signaling the birth of Iesua, the new King of a wandering people. The same as at that time, she knew from intuition that from now on the same thing would happen. In actuality, Iesua's sudden appearance in Gensokyo was incredibly confusing to the Professor. Why is this completely unrelated to the "Birth of a new King"? Even though reading the stars isn't 100% accurate...for some reason her pride wouldn't allow it. For the sake of investigating the star that had fallen, she set out to do some field work.
Notes
*Wicked Holy Star: Bethlehem and Wormwood
Bethlehem is the supposed birthplace of Jesus in Christianity (or I suppose Iesua in this context?). In Revelations, the prophecy of the end-times found in the Bible, one of the events that is described is of a star falling to the Earth and turning one third of the Earth's water "bitter." The name of this star is "wormwood." This is also most likely what Sakuya was referring to in the Extra Stage Backstory, when she was saying it was strange that the meteorite fell in the forest.

Pluto Afforestation Plan
This is an old story from a land north of the western country where Iesua's legend was handed down. Once upon a time, at the touch of a goddess' anger, a fairy's appearance was changed to that of an ugly weed's.
She had already lost all her faith, and had thought only that she would disappear, but a very unexpected person held out a saving hand to her. The manipulator of "death," the terrifying god of the realm of the dead, Hades. In the future to come, written works would describe him again and again as an evil, dark, devil king.
Seeing the weed that had once been a fairy, he had pity on it, and changed it to have a pleasing scent and a beautiful flower.
He was the king of death who would be feared by anyone, but he also loved greenery and life more than anyone.
The fairy flower, who had become abundant and well known above ground because of the dark king, gathered popularity for its pleasing scent among the people.
Thousands of years passed, and the many gods of Greece came upon the same era of difficulty with gathering faith that the myriad native gods of Japan came upon. However, the dark king came happily upon an unexpected coincidence. At the same time, humanity unexpectedly found a 9th planet in the solar system, and gave it his name. With that star acting as an object representative of him, he could once again restore faith.
The dark king, from the realm of the dead beneath the earth, decided to move to a palace within the distant sea of stars.
----"She" wished to meet him once more.
The "flower," after a long period of time acquired the form of a human, and though it was the same as when she had been a fairy, she had acquired a power that surpassed her old self. By spreading her huge seeds on the wind, she propagated her descendants throughout the entire world, constantly reproduced with herself, brought forth countless fragrances pleasing to humans, and all for the sake of her one ultimate goal.
And so, the girl who had achieved the ability to move freely headed towards the realm of the dead, but the dark king had already left.
"----I don't want----to be forgotten----"
Decades later, the "9th planet" which had been stripped of its title as a planet was pulled to the border of "Illusions and Reality" and fell into Gensokyo. Entirely by coincidence, this happened at the same time as the magnificent battle between light and darkness was beginning. "She" who had come to Gensokyo following the fallen star did not yet know. That the face of the fallen star, before being consumed with fire, was covered with the same flower that was "her" namesake.
The flower of old with the pleasant aroma that mankind had become so close to was given the name "Mint."
Whether the fact that "her" name is the same is a coincidence or not is still not known.
By the way, the familiar by her side is the princess of the jealous Hades. Though she was dispatched as a watchdog, after being shot down by the returning Mint, she is presently being put to good use.
Its name is "Zankurou."
Whether the similarity between its name and the name for Pomegranate* is a coincidence or not is still not known.
Notes
*Sorrowful Flower
The character I translated as Sorrowful apparently has the meanings of "sorrow," "pathos," "pretty," and "lovely." You can decide whether this was an attempt at some sort of pun or not, but I translated it as I did in reference to Elfin's title.
*Pomegranate
In Japanese, the name for Pomegranate is Zakuro.
Well that was an afternoon well spent. I'm impressed with how quickly I got through all of that...hopefully that is indicative of an increase in my skill and not a decrease in quality
Anyways, with this, all of the Last Comer info (that I've seen) should be translated, if there's anything I've missed please let me know! Also, I don't mind taking a look at the in game dialogue and epilogues, but that will require that someone finds me the text for them since I don't actually have the game and as far as I can tell they aren't up on the wiki.
