    That middle thing is tricky. It says fairly plainly, "Though I believe in my master, I have come to disobey my master." This is not the same word for "master" that she uses to refer to Shou, however, and could alternately be translated as "employer"; so, God. But then the furigana jump in and change the first "master" to "God's envoy" (so, Nazrin?) and the second one to "God". Argh.

    tl;dr - I know what it says, but I've no clue what it means. For that matter, who was Nazrin actually spying for, anyway? I don't think I ever found that out.

    Apparently Nazrin was spying for Bishamonten, making sure that Shou was being Bishamonten right.

    (Shou is an avatar of Bishamonten but apparently not _all_ of Bishamonten. Bishamonten is the Japanese name for Vaiśravaṇa, who is a Hindu god that became a supporter of the Buddha and then (I believe) became a bodhisattva. I'm not sure how you become the avatar of a god while the god is still around and checking up on you, but I think this is the same sort of deal that elsewhere in Touhou has the Shinto gods being able to infinitely subdivide themselves without diminishing.)

    A-ha! That was the missing piece of the puzzle. Cheers to you, Sincere!

    Naz.
    And it's too late now to say that I'm not cut out to be a watchmouse...
    Since you came, I've really enjoyed the passing of the seasons again.
    (Believing in one master has led me to disobey another.)
    In fact, I was sent here by God to watch you.
    But, sooner or later, even God would be found out.
    Thank you.
