Therese’s Sigh
Track 14 from Shuuen -re:mind-. Please support the artists by buying the album! (amazon / cdjapan)
Translation Masterpost
At two in the morning A girl seems to be crying in front of the portrait
An ordinary rumor is always, unchangingly, Either true or false
I don't know why she's crying, but If she's in so much pain It'd be better for her to talk about her troubles
Hey, tell me For what reason are those tears of yours flowing so freely?
How much time has passed already? Since when have you been crying?
Is it because no one will listen to you?
At two in the morning Therese's melancholy
I heard it again, oh so quietly-- Alone, as if waiting for someone
If an ordinary charm can stop these tears A wish will be granted
It’s said that when a letter is put into the locker the portrait is looking at, A worry-filled reply will come
Hey, tell me What should I do to stop those tears of yours?
If a reply has already arrived, you should give a response Look, otherwise you'll just become unhappy, alright?
A sigh, and Therese's melancholy
Hey, did you know? That apparently you should never Talk to that girl at two in the morning
She's always alone And crying because of that So she'll become so happy she'll take you away
Today, again, Therese was laughing as well
T/N: who is this “Therese”, you ask? Well, my (limited) research didn’t really pull up any urban legends, and all I got were historical figures. NND seemed to be fixated on the fact that Für Elise, that famous Beethoven piece, was apparently supposed to be titled Für Therese, apparently, but you should take that with a grain of salt. In any case, hopefully the series canon clears this up soon.

Conclusion Dreamelody
Track 4 from Shuuen -re:mind-. Please support the artists by buying the album!
Translation Masterpost
The story's end will someday arrive, and we’ll have to part ways Even if it’s dressed up as a wonderful happy ending, we’ll have to part ways
Without thinking of my feelings, acting selfishly
Don't leave me alone, that’s just too cruel Even though we were just having fun Will this end here as well? Even though I waited, and believed it would always, always continue
I don't want that
A conclusion has, at some point, and for someone's sake, Dreamt countless times Breathing imploringly to something, and again
Unable to become anyone, I was disgusted with myself
The things I love always break, and we have to part ways I can't even believe in wonderful happy endings anymore
After all, this feels more lonely than painful
Why are you leaving me all alone? This is just too cruel Even though all we did was be together Will this end here as well? Even though I threw away everything, believed, and waited
Come on already
A conclusion has, at some point, and for someone's sake, Given up countless times Even then it struggles and struggles, crying, and again
Resenting a chosen someone, today was another depressing day
Hey, mother Even though I'm always alone Even I have many, many, many People who are dear to me
I've been chosen by the end of the end of the end If I just put up with not having the things that I've always wanted, then surely
A hero will come for me
A conclusion has, at some point, and for someone's sake, Dreamt countless times This endless story that's mine alone... This story alone will not abandon me

[Hatsune Miku] It Was a Very Lovely June - eight
NND link
Text translation of eight's とても素敵な六月でした.
--
潰された私の体躯は酷く脆い固形と化して 音ひとつしない市街地で忌々しい不祥を呪うのさ
My crushed stature becomes a terribly fragile solid As I wish curses upon the silent city
道徳の向う側であなたは吠えている 淡泊な言葉の裏側が透けているよ 真昼の無彩色を不穏な色にして 本当に馬鹿な嘘つき
You howl on the other side of morality The back side of your indifferent words are see-through Turning the achromatic color of midday into a disturbing color You really are a stupid liar
薫る夏風に誘われて霞む死神も泣いていた 始まりの合図が轟いて咽ぶ飛行機雲 閉塞と千の世迷言で回る膿んだ世界が終る前に 夢の中さえもずっと、焼きつけたいの
Lured by the sweet-smelling summer wind the hazy grim reaper was crying as well The signal of the beginning resounds From the choked jet streams
Obstructions and a thousand mutterings Make this rotten world go round Even in my dreams, I always want to burn it away Before it ends
草臥れた回転木馬、見たくもない欺瞞の産物 仕組まれた惨劇の丘に咲いた蓮華は枯れるのだろう
An exhausted merry-go-round and fraudulent products I don't want to see The lotuses that bloomed on the hill of the orchestrated tragedy Are probably withering away
私を穿っていく醜い透明 灰色の心が無数に悲鳴を上げるの 背徳の白い息も次第に白銀が 覆い隠してしまうよ
An ugly transparency that drills into my core Raises countless screams at my gray heart My corrupted, condensed breath, too Gradually obscures the silver
湿る街角に飛び散った抉る感覚を放つのさ 吠える迷子犬を葬って黒煙の立つ空に 問い掛けと千の綺麗事で回る膿んだ世界の終りなんて 呆気の無いくらいでいいと、吐き捨てたいの
I jumped out onto the wet street corner And let go of the gouging sensation I bury a howling, lost puppy In the sky filled with black smoke
Inquiries and pretty lies Make this rotten world go round "Like I care if it's too late to save it from ending" That's what I wanted to spit out at it
喚く踏切が遮って、これで全て終りなんだろう さよならの合図が轟いて溶ける飛行機雲
Separated by the shrieking railway crossing This is where it all ends The farewell signal resounds From the dissolving jet streams
がなる現世の境界で愚かなあなたは泣いていた 薫る夏風に誘われて、悲しくなどないさ 天国も地獄も無いのなら こんな泥塗れの現実を誰が裁けるの
At the boundary of the blaring real world, You were crying like the fool you were Lured by the sweet-smelling summer wind, I don't even feel sad at all
If neither heaven nor hell exist, Then who can even judge this filthy reality?
透過、「また会いましょう」
I breathe out, "Let us meet again."

A Dream-Come True Monkey Hand IV - Repeatragedy (Pages 211 - 216)
Part 4 of the A Dream-Come-True Monkey Hand chapter from the Shuuen no Shiori 2 novel.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4
Novel 2 Masterpost
--
----This is yet again just one conclusion. Piled up possibilities, without an ending. The one true form of the Demise Game. ......This game is filled with nothing but traps to raise suspicion of each other.
In the midst of all this, there is a single 'traitor'. Together with those words, comes an unfolding, unrealistic tragedy.
I'm going to be killed next, aren't I? That guy's suspicious! He's the traitor!
Negative feelings, spreading like in that manner, soon confirm the need to kill the 'fox'. If I don't kill him, I'll be killed......! Humans convinced of that, are fools.
*
Having left the school, I continued to try and contact B-ko as I returned home. I called her again and again. After the tenth redial, B-ko finally answered her phone. But, at that moment, I realized that the worst possible outcome I had predicted had become a reality.
『......Hello.』 "Hello! B-ko?" 『..................』 "......B-ko......?" 『......B-ko-chan is......』 "......! D-ne......?" 『B-ko-chan, said I was the 'fox'......』 "D-ne, calm down for a minute......" 『B-ko-chan, suddenly, attacked me......could it be, that she meant to......help me......?』 "......!" 『I...I...might be the 'fox', after all......in that case......』 "D-ne......?"
----Click.
Leaving me with those words, the call cut off. B-ko knew that D-ne was going to carry out what was written in the letter, and went to stop her...... And then, D-ne......!
......This, this is......!
I realized that my own choice had been a bad move. The bile began to rise in my throat, and while feeling like I was about to throw up, I called C-ta.
----He's not picking up.
I had a bad feeling. I sent a text to C-ta, saying, "There's something I want to talk to you about, so can you wait for me in front of my house?" and hurried home.
And then, I reached my home, but C-ta wasn't in front of my house. But, as I reached for the front door, I heard a noise from inside. When I placed my hand on the door, it was unlocked.
Slowly, in order to not make a sound, I entered my house. The noise seemed to be coming from my room.
Gingerly, as I approached my room, I prayed my last prayers in my heart, and sent a text to C-ta.
『C-ta? You aren't in my room, right?』
Immediately after it switched to the message sent screen, the sound of a text notification rang out from inside my room. As I thought, C-ta was there. I slowly peered into my room. At that moment, C-ta, with cutter knife in hand, attacked me.
"As I thought, the fox was you."
----C-ta said, and laughed with his final breath.
* ----For a while, I remained in a daze, in the middle of that room that had been dyed bright red, covered in tears, vomit, and all sorts of body fluids as I wept.
In my hand, I gripped a pair of scissors that were the same color as the room, and C-ta, who I'd been together with ever since I was young, lay asleep in front of me. I...I've......
And so, the tale comes to an end.
The same as always, heading to an ordinary 'conclusion'.

A Dream-Come-True Monkey Hand III - A Rumor From Somewhere (Pages 204 - 210)
Part 3 of the A Dream-Come-True Monkey Hand chapter from the Shuuen no Shiori 2 novel.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
Novel 2 Masterpost
--
Because of the fact that the school was currently closed, it didn't feel like there was anyone around. It looked like reporters and cameramen from the media had been here for a few days, but presently, they were no longer here. Just in case, I went in through the back gate and headed for the staff room in the new school building. The staff there at the time were surprised that I was at school, but once I'd said some suitable things like how I didn't want to be home alone, maybe because the situation was the way it was, they lent me the key to the library. After that, I headed to the library and library material room. I unlocked the door. and slowly went inside, heading towards the corner of the material room where things like newspapers of the region were collected. I looked for binders containing the newspapers, sorted by age. It wasn't like every page of the newspapers had been kept; it seemed like the newspaper club just cut out articles and things from regional and national newspapers that had interested them, arranging them by age. I took a binder from exactly ten years ago, and as I opened it up on a desk nearby, I searched for articles similar to that. For a while, I turned pages, and there, was a set of articles similar to it.
An Accident In A School Club? Four Dead, ......One In Serious Condition.
......!
At once, it stood out as being inconsistent with the rumor told within the school. And, it was different from the diary I had. In the diary, there had been no one other than the four. Then, just who was this extra person......?
Maybe as a memo from the news club at the time, written on the article in pencil was this:
A Bizarre Murder Has Occurred In The Film Club?!
Film club, murder incident......huh. And also, it was different from the diary I had. There hadn't been a single word in that diary mentioning a film club at all. They should've been members of an occult research club, just like us...... I took the set of articles out of the binder, and, packing it into the bag I'd brought, returned the binder to its original shelf.
......Clatter.
"......ah!"
At that moment, I heard the sound of the library's door opening. I hid myself instantly, and entering the room was a person that I recognized. ......It was D-ne. For a while, I held my breath, and she also began to examine the newspaper articles. Just like B-ko did, I considered asking for her cooperation, but judging from her current circumstances, she was sure to have already received the 'Book of Demise' once. If that happens, and my thinking is right, then after this......!
"......!"
Instantly, D-ne stood up and looked this way. I remained hidden, holding my breath, and perhaps because she'd given up, D-ne left the library.
"......Hahh......"
I let out a big sigh. But, I can't be doing this. If my predictions are correct, then after this, D-ne will try to carry out what is written in the 'letter'. Thinking that, in the meantime, I had to contact B-ko, I took out my cell phone while sitting down. But, no matter how many times I phoned B-ko, the signal didn't seem to reach so there was no sign of the call connecting. ......Crap. As it is right now, it's dangerous. Moving to firstly get out of the school, I stood up.
And when I looked to the desk where all my materials had been spread out on just earlier, something that shouldn't have been there was placed right in the open. A pitch-black cover. And, a cat bookmark.
As if I'd been reading it just earlier, that book was placed there.
......Finally, it's here......!
----The 'Book' and 'Bookmark of Demise'.
"----It really exists."
I wonder what kind of expression I was making at that moment. This book and bookmark that I've thought of wanting to see countless times are, right now, right in front of my eyes. In that abnormal atmosphere, it seemed to surpass understanding and emotion, and it felt like I'd be swallowed up. ......As expected, my body is shaking. I opened my bag to put away the book. But in there, was something that had definitely not been there earlier.
"......ah!"
A letter, and ---- something like a small, mummified hand.
That thing, which was only from the wrist up, had five fingers firmly attached to it, and was half open. It looked like it was about the size of the hand of an elementary schooler. It had a fairly grotesque appearance.
......Just, what is......?!
I took the letter out of my bag, and slowly opened it. In it, only this was written:
----The Monkey's Paw Author: A-ya---- Use the Monkey’s Paw, and defy fate.
......The Monkey's Paw, huh...... Certainly, it was an item that appeared in a short story from overseas...... It should be an item that is able to grant wishes, just one for each finger.
----If this really can grant any wish, then......!
"As I thought, the fox was you."
----I said, and laughed with my final breath.

A Dream-Come-True Monkey Hand II - Secret Mission Side A (Pages 194 - 203)
Part 2 of the A Dream-Come-True Monkey Hand chapter from the Shuuen no Shiori 2 novel.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
Novel 2 Masterpost
--
When I returned home, perhaps because I had finally begun to understand the reality of the situation, I felt my thoughts coming together. Whatever I had thought was fear until now had shock added to it, and wasn't pure fear. Certainly, this was the first time I'd ever seen a dead body in front of me, and even when I remembered those eyes now, I shuddered, but even more importantly, I felt a huge sense of unease becoming rooted inside me. Just as always, I sat down at my desk, took out my phone, and opened up the new message screen. It was a habit that had never changed. I just wrote down my thoughts in a draft without ever sending them.
The broadcast that had occurred after Kokkuri-san. And, that incident that had seemed to replicate the urban legend I'd talked about.
No matter how I thought about it, it was too well done.
I became absorbed in typing. The key to solving the mystery was the 'Book' and 'Bookmark of Demise', and the 'fox''s existence...... As I desperately typed into my phone, I suddenly felt a chill on the back of my neck, as if a knife was being pressed there.
"......ah!"
I quickly turned around. But, naturally, there was nothing there.
For a while, I stared in the direction where I felt a presence. This stare I always felt, this deja vu. Being watched by someone...... it couldn't be something of that level, could it......? I wandered in a maze of my thoughts as I stared at a single point. How I should think about this...... Is there a correct answer to this question......?
Tumblr media
I thought about it for a while, but I thought that I couldn't come to any other conclusion, and stopped thinking about it. After that, I looked around my room as a precaution, and just like that, crawled under the covers, hugged my knees and fell asleep.
*
"Hello?"
The next morning, I got a call from an unknown number. I answered the phone in my usual grumpy voice. 『......A-yaa......』 It was B-ko. Her voice was somewhat different from what I was used to hearing, so for a brief moment, I was surprised. I say 'used to hearing', but when I thought about it, this was pretty much the first time I'd ever talked to her over the phone. ......In any case, B-ko seemed to be crying. 『......Help me......』 I merely listened to B-ko talk, just as I usually would. About how a letter had been sent to D-ne, and about how C-ta's imposter had been sighted. Although B-ko occasionally choked up, she tried to inform me about everything she knew as accurately as possible. And after she had finished speaking and I'd thought about it for a while, I said this:
“……This case is just full of impossible things…”
I think my voice contained a bit of anger. "They're all the urban legends that I talked about. 'The Person who Committed Suicide while Laughing', 'The Girl by the Window,' ......For C-ta, I guess it'd be 'doppelgangers'?" "......What do you mean?" "In this world, there are only things that seem like the truth, and things that seem like lies." "......Eh?" "Only a second-rate playwright would feel the need to have them actually brought to life." "......A-ya? What are you......talking about?" Before I knew it, I realized that the corner of my mouth had turned up.
"......I'll end this game......"
From the other side of the phone, I could sense a hint of B-ko's dismay. I wonder if I was even thinking about killing a specific person. "......The rules of this game are too unreasonable. In the first place, I think it's doubtful whether or not the 'fox' is really even one of us four." "......Eh?" "......There has to be another way to track down the culprit, besides following these rules." "......A way...to track them down?" That's right, there's no need to go ahead and hijack the rules made by others. More than anything, I felt that the way things were going along too conveniently was odd. ----The only determined fact had been the female student's suicide. That was a grand demonstration to show that this game was definitely real. It seemed to be for the sake of creating an illusion that if one rule was right, then all the others were as well. Because of one impact, other contradictions would be drowned out; that kind of thing was an old trick. "......But, how are we supposed to find a way to......" That's it, right there. I still don't have enough information. Something absolute should be hidden somewhere. In the first place, the 'Book' and 'Bookmark of Demise's' secret was like that......! "......That incident from ten years ago feels suspicious to me. But if we can find out more about it, maybe we'll be able to learn something." "......That incident...from ten years ago......" "......To begin with, that diary was odd...... So if we can just figure it out, then maybe......" I thought as I muttered quietly. Right now, B-ko was probably pretty scared. But, I might not be able to end this game by myself.
"......Let's investigate it together." "......Eh?" "Let's investigate the incident from ten years ago together......" "......But......" "I might not be able to do it all on my own...... So lend me a hand. And then, we'll bring an end to this game......!"
I put forth the most positive voice I could, and told that to B-ko.
*
From there, we decided to split up our work and search at the library. There were two libraries nearby, the school library room and the local city library. And right in between them was a shopping mall. We would meet there after this, and after talking about it, we'd each head towards a library. I quickly got ready, and left the house.
It was humid when I went outside, and the clammy air gathered around me. As usual, there were dark circles under my eyes, and my hair was unkempt. I wasn't looking down as I usually did; instead, I steadily faced forwards and walked quickly. When I went into the shopping mall, I was able to find B-ko, restlessly paying close attention to her surroundings with suspicion. Because she was hiding in the shadows, it had been hard to find her.
"......B-ko......?" "......!"
I spoke up from a little distance away. B-ko seemed to pick up on that and walked up to me.
"......What's wrong?" "......No, it's nothing..." "......Alright, then." B-ko seemed to be in a situation of considerable emotional disturbance, but she was desperately pretending that nothing was wrong.
"So, what're we gonna do? Should we sit down somewhere first?" "No, let's just talk as we go. The basic idea is simple -- ten years ago, the season being about the same as right now. I want to check out the local newspapers from that time. If we can find out any small detail about the incident... Like the causes of death, or what happened when the bodies were discovered, that'd be great." "......Yeah." "I'll head to the school library room, so, B-ko, I want you to go to the city library." "......Alright." "Afterwards, even if we don’t find any clues, we'll meet up again." "Got it......!"
After saying all that, the two of us split up, but it seemed like B-ko was reaching her limit. According to what I'd heard from her earlier, D-ne's mental state also seemed pretty unstable. And C-ta, too, if a letter has already reached him, the imposter may be a consequence of that. No matter what kind of situation everyone is in right now, there's only one thing I can do. I'm going to end this Demise Game......!
----I exited the shopping mall, and began to run towards the school.

A Dream-Come-True Monkey Hand I - Underdog Supremacy (Pages 180 - 193)
Part 1 of the A Dream-Come-True Monkey Hand chapter from the Shuuen no Shiori 2 novel.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
Novel 2 Masterpost
--
Let me tell you about a dream. A dream I had not too long ago. A dream where I became what I wanted to become as a child.
In that dream, I became a hero. It's a childish dream, right?
But, I think that, ever since long ago, I've been kind of cynical, so I was a nihilistic hero. Intellectual, and carrying many secrets. A so-called dark hero. My signature phrase was this:
"I'll solve them all for you."
Appearing gallantly, solving mysteries, and defeating evil!
Tumblr media
It's cool, right?
......But, the real world doesn't go that well. On the day I had that dream, I overslept.
Rather than being a hero, I'm nothing but an idiot. Sometimes, I'll think that this kind of thing exists: In this world, I'm just a background character in someone else's dreams. So I can't become a main character. And because of that, I'm not a hero. Well, I'm past the age of admiring heroes, anyway, so it's fine. On the contrary, my views became distorted as I grew up; or rather, I allowed those abnormalities to amplify. As a result, I became a negative high school student with interest in rumors and the occult.
Well, in the end, it's all just a dream. Dreams are things that will one day end......
*
I walked towards the music room on the second floor of a two-storied wooden old school building. I'd fallen asleep in class without being noticed by the teacher, and because of that, I was slightly zoned out. It was because I'd looked for sites about urban legends and read up on materials again yesterday. I sighed a little, and opened the door to the classroom. "......Hey." ----The other three were already inside the classroom. "It's not just "Hey"......I don't really care about your bad tastes, but would you stop using people as topics for your stories?" "......What're you talking about?" "......Don't act like you don't know!" B-ko glared and approached me. Her anger was most likely over the rumor I'd spread. Jeez, even though I've already spread rumors about her so many times, she still gets mad as usual... "......Haah...well, I'm used to it, so it's fine, but you know......" B-ko had been glaring at me for a while, but maybe because I hadn't really had much of a reaction, she sighed and sat back in her chair. "......By the way, about that rumor that you spread, what is a doppelganger?" D-ne asked. "......Ah." I answered her with a look of triumph.
We always did this activity of gathering 'rumors'. At first glance, it may seem like we're all over the place, and although these people and I aren't compatible, we have just one thing in common. All of us love extreme rumors. Rumors......to be more exact, most of the rumors could be categorized as occult or urban legends. Like the "Slit-Mouthed Woman" or "Human-Faced Dog"...... As we talked about those kinds of rumors, we gradually started to meet in this old school building. It wasn't a club or association or anything. We just got together to talk. We didn't set specific dates to get together, and it wasn't even a regular thing. From an outsider's point of view, it might have seemed odd that we got together even if we weren't good friends or anything, but as for me, I was perfectly fine with it being nothing more than that.
"......Speaking of which, do you know any other rumors like this? It's a story I've known about just recently, but there's an urban legend about a 'person who committed suicide while laughing'."
I once again began to speak about the urban legends I'd collected.
*
"Ah, it's about time I went home." After some time had passed, C-ta said that and picked up his bag. "It's about time for me too......ah, but, that doll bothers me after all." B-ko said while pointing to a doll on C-ta's bag. Ever since long ago, C-ta's opinion of what was cute had been different from what other people thought. "Ehh, even though it's cute? D-ne-chan, you think so too, don't you?" "No, I don't think it’s cute at all?" D-ne said, smiling. Even so, without breaking his smile, "Ahaha, that sounds like something D-ne would say." C-ta replied. "......Speaking of dolls, they're used in the urban legend called 'hide and seek alone'." I muttered quietly as I picked up my bag. "Hide and seek alone?" "Yeah, you use a doll or stuffed toy. It's something like a kind of necromancy. At the very end, you'll have to stab it, though." "......Huh. Ah, speaking of stuffed toys, I remembered something from when A-ya and I were small." "......Hm?" C-ta continued on. "Nah, it's nothing. It's just, even if you ever do 'hide and seek alone', I'd like it if you didn't use that doll." "......What do you mean?" "It’s nothing." C-ta smiled at me, and just like that, left the question unanswered.
*
The next day, I made my way to the old school building while still feeling grumpy from my lack of sleep. "......Hey." Today, too, the other three were already there. "No, it's not just "hey"......I don’t really care about your bad tastes, but would you stop using people as your topics?" "......What're you talking about?" "......Don't act you like don't know, just like yesterday. The rumors are only getting worse!" B-ko made to stand up as she expressed her anger. "Look, don't call smoke where there's no fire. I just meant it as a little prank." "......Why, you......" "If someone just so happened to see you right now, won't they think you're an impostor?" "I'm serious, if you don't stop now......!" "......Anyway, there's something that I've been thinking about lately." I changed the topic, and began to talk about the strange occurrances that had been happening around me for the last little while. Recently, there had definitely been strange things happening to me. I was always feeling someone's gaze on me, but somehow, I was always feeling something like déjà vu. If I had to, I could even think that I'd already had this conversation countless times before. I wonder if this was also because of the 'Bookmark of Demise'? Anyway, after I talked about the Kokkuri-san that we did the other day, I ultimately said this:
"......Let’s do it one more time."
And thus, we became involved in the worst Demise Game......
*
----BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!!!!!
Just when C-ta finally tried to speak, the intense noise came again. The man’s face that was displayed on the screen was twisted as if it were something not of this world, and switched between a laughing, troubled, crying and angry expression.
----And then, the incoming silence.
"......Wh-what was that......j-just now......?" "......I don't know." "......'Fox'? Traitor'......?" "I-it's just a really bad joke, right......?" "......"
We all fell silent at the same time, and looked at each other. In the dim classroom, all of us had pale faces. A long period of time passed...... In reality, it might not even have been longer than a minute, but...... The silence dragged on. Someone spoke up, saying, "......Anyway, let's just go home for today..." and on their suggestion, we left the school.
In the end, I went home together with C-ta, but neither of us said a word. When I got back home, I felt like the gaze was stronger than usual. I went to my room straight away, and crawled into the futon, hugging my knees in a fetal position. When I did this, I actually felt the gaze get even closer than before, so I got out of bed to check my surroundings, turn on the TV, turn it off again, and get back in bed. I ended up repeating this cycle several times.
----Before I realized it, it was morning.
*
The next day, after classes had ended, I met up with C-ta and headed towards the old school building. B-ko was already waiting for us there. "............!" B-ko looked this way, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. "......What's wrong? B-ko-chan." "......" "......B-ko?" "......Y-yesterday............w-was just a prank...right......?" B-ko was extremely upset. Besides, could you even say yesterday's events were a prank? It wasn't all that far-fetched of an idea, but a prank of that level would've required a considerable amount of preparation....... "......ah," ----Clatter. "......!" Just as B-ko was going to say something, the classroom door opened, and D-ne appeared. As soon as B-ko saw D-ne, she averted her eyes and clammed up. "......About yesterday......In the end, I wonder what that was all about." "......It's hard to tell at this point......I hate to admit it, but there's a chance it might've just been an elaborate prank......" B-ko seemed slightly relieved at my words, and raised her face. "......But, if it's true, then one of us is......" "----Stop it!" B-ko suddenly yelled, holding her head so as to cover her ears. And it was at that moment----
----THUD!!!!
There was a sudden loud noise, and a shadow appeared outside of the glass room of the old building music room we were all in.
----It was a person.
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
We heard B-ko scream a moment too late. Surprised at this occurrence, I sat down. Right now, the person was dangling in the air at the second floor, staring into the classroom. The rope that hung down from the roof held her up by the neck. "......I-it's the 'girl by the window'......" I felt a fear as if the story I'd told had been brought to reality. In the midst of my fear, my face twisted into an expression where I couldn't speak.
"......W-we...have to go call someone......" C-ta spoke up and tried to move. However, it was obvious to anyone that it was clearly already too late. In the end, after having said that, C-ta was unable to move at all.
After a while, teachers arrived at the scene, and after we briefly explained the situation to the police as well, we were told to go home early. From what little information we’d heard from the police, along with what we heard afterwards, it seemed that this incident clearly had too many uncertain points. An incident that shouldn't be able to occur in reality. My head wasn't spinning around with fear or dread, but I felt that the contradiction of something that shouldn't have been able to happen in reality actually happening, was giving me a clue. "......That kind of thing...is just impossible......" ......I whispered those words.

Shadow Stepping Gänger IV - Correct Answer (Pages 126 - 132)
Part 4 of the Shadow Stepping Gänger chapter from the Shuuen no Shiori 2 novel.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4
Novel 2 Masterpost
--
When I arrived home, I took out the 'letter' from inside my bag. No matter what is written in there, I won't change my mind. My determination resolved, I slowly opened the 'letter'.
----Doppelgängers        Author: C-ta---- Don't encounter any doppelgängers.
That was all that was written inside the letter. Even if this was some kind of warning, right now, I'd already decided to prioritize ending this game. I turned on the PC's power. As always, it was to observe A-ya's room. After starting up the operation software, I immediately opened the window. There, A-ya’s room, the same as always, was displayed on the screen--
--Or so it should’ve.
"......?!"
On the screen, the image that, until now, was the furthest from reality, was displayed. In A-ya's room, in front of his desk......
----My back was on the screen.
I'd never seen myself from behind before, but I immediately recognized it as myself. Beyond the camera, on my bag, the "Motreevational Treenoki" was hanging there. I confirmed by looking at the bag in my room, and sure enough, that doll that definitely should've been on my bag until now, was gone. A-ya looked to be sitting at his desk, but my back was in the way, so I couldn't confirm it.
And when I looked further, I was gripping a pair of scissors in my hand.
"......A-yaaaaa!!!" I flew out of my room and headed for A-ya's place. What if A-ya was the culprit? What if this is a trap? ......No! I get it now. If I'm right, then the culprit, the 'fox' is definitely......!
"A-yaa!" My hand fell upon the door of his house.
----Ker-chak! Ker-chak ker-chak ker-chak!!
It seemed to be locked. I took out the extra key from the hiding place that had never changed since long ago, opened the door, and stepped inside.
"A-yaaa! Where are you?!" I entered his house, and moved forward while checking in each room. Even though I'd run here, no sweat came forth. Was it because of my extreme mental state? I didn't feel fatigued or afraid, either. All I could feel was a feeling that could be called a sense of responsibility. For some reason, a cutter knife was placed in the kitchen. I took that into my hands, and with a small click-click-click, pushed out the blade and gripped the knife.
I then proceeded towards A-ya's room. Gulping, I gripped the knife again, and quickly opened the door.
----Bang!
......No one was there.
Neither my imposter who had definitely just been on screen in the camera, nor A-ya, were there. Where are they? Just where did they go?! Thinking of going to search every nook and cranny in the room, I stepped inside.
----♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪!!
"......?!" It was at that moment, my phone suddenly rang out loudly. My body momentarily froze from surprise, but I soon opened up my phone. There, a text had arrived.
"......This is......!"
I scanned the text. The contents left me confused, but I immediately remembered an abnormal sensation. ----In this room that no one for sure should've been in, I felt a sign. I quickly turned around.
"......!!!!"
From the scene that had appeared behind me, and this text, I finally understood everything. No, I hadn't understood, but I had no choice but to comply.
"xx I thxxght, txx xxx wxs xox."
——I said, and laughed with my final breath.

Shadow Stepping Gänger III - The Strategy Meeting of Two (Pages 111 - 125)
Part 3 of the Shadow Stepping Gänger chapter from the Shuuen no Shiori 2 novel.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4
Novel 2 Masterpost
(Apologies for the long delay!)
--
The next day came. I'd hardly slept at all, doing nothing but staring at the bag in which that was in from inside the futon. Thinking about how I had to quickly do something about that, I made up my mind and got out of the futon. When I gingerly picked up the bag, I noticed something amidst the feeling of unease that I could not help but feel.
----The bag was extremely light.
What does this......mean? Gulping, when I gingerly opened my bag, the 'Book' and 'Bookmark of Demise' that had definitely been in there yesterday were gone. In exchange, a letter that I had never seen before was placed there.
・Kokkuri-san’s demands will be sent via letter.
"......Eep!"
Yesterday, I'd definitely been looking at the bag the whole time. It's true that I'd gotten tired, but at the very least, I would definitely have been able to tell if someone had entered my room. There's no way this should be able to happen in reality...this is......this is......!
I returned the letter to the bag a little violently.
It was impossible to understand, so, right now, I have to do something about this letter. There's no way I can let anyone read it, so in the meantime, I have to throw it away somehow.
Still confused, I changed my clothes so I could go outside, picked up my bag and phone and made to leave my room. It was at that time.
--Pirorin.
"......!" Almost immediately after I picked up my phone, the sound of a notification rang out. Just when had my phone been turned off from silent mode? While getting up warily, when I looked at the screen, it was a notification from Twitter, informing me of a direct message from my classmate.
≪I fooouuuuuund you! What're you doing at the shrine?≫
......?
What is this guy saying?
≪I'm actually home alone right now, though?≫ I returned a direct message, asking if he'd mistaken someone else for me. ≪Huh? But, aren't you over there, ah, you're not?≫ ≪Maybe I made a mistake? Sorryyyy, it's just that yesterday, it was pretty bad for you, and you were all alone so I kept thinking about you~ If it's just a mistake then it's fine, sorry about thattttt~≫
I closed the Twitter screen. I thought it was a mistake, but it felt eerie.
After all, the shrine......? It's true that I often went to the shrine close to school. Especially when I was younger, I used to go there to play together with A-ya. .....No, could it be......
----♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪!!
"----!"
My phone rang out again. This time, it seemed to be an alert for a text. Even though I'd definitely put it on silent mode......rather, when I looked at the screen of my phone, it was on silent. Just what is this supposed to mean......?
While my face twisted up in fear, I opened up my phone, and lined up there were rows of letters I didn't want to see.
≪C-ta, what're you doing at school?≫
"......!!!!"
What the hell is this? From a completely different person, at the almost exact same time? When I confirmed the details of the text, they said they'd seen me near the school while driving by in their parent's car. They'd soon passed me, but they'd definitely also been seen by me. It was unimaginable that two people would both lie to me. A mistake? Or......
----Had I really been sighted?
While beginning to feel creeped out, I went outside. Just what are you saying?! What's going on?! In my memories, an image of A-ya, with the corner of his mouth just slightly turned up, drifted into my head. Then, in that case, that was a doppelganger?
"In German, it means "double goer", and as the word implies, a specific person is seen in two completely different places at the exact same time......the point is, an imposter appears. It’s a kind of supernatural phenomena."
But this was a rumor about B-ko. Besides, A-ya had definitely never spread a rumor about me before, right?!
"This phenomena’s been reported all over the world, from eyewitness accounts, so it’s quite famous. It’s been said that even people like Lincoln or Ryuunosuke Akutagawa have experienced this. As for commonly mentioned details, the impostor is often sighted in places that have to do with the original person, and the impostor does not talk with any surrounding people at all......and, if the person meets with their impostor......it’s said that the person will be killed......"
Killed? Could it be......everything is A-ya's doing......? It was like that with the "Girl at the Window", and the story of "doppelgangers", too; in the first place, the one who suggested we should do Kokkuri-san was A-ya, too, wasn't it? What if it was the same for yesterday, when he'd noticed me? No, what if A-ya had always known until now, but had always just ignored it? What if, I, who'd thought I'd been observing him, had in reality been played by upon his hands?
No, that.....that kind of thing is impossible! Was it really? I need to make sure. I made to walk towards A-ya's house.
----♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪!!
Just then, my phone made a familiar noise.
This time, it was the sound of a phonecall.
What do you mean, one after another?! My feelings changed from fear to irritation. When I looked at the screen, the call was from a guy at school.
He was often around A-ya, and he was the kind of guy who spread rumors around once he'd gotten his hands on them. Once again feeling confusion enter my mind, I accepted the call. "......Hello?" 『Oi~! C-ta! This way, this way! Behind you......!』 --Click. The call was suddenly cut off. When I turned around, there was no one there. Behind me......? What did he mean?
----♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪!!
That classmate called back again.
"......Yes?" 『Oi~! Don't hang up on me~!』 "No......more importantly......" 『Ah, right now, you're at the shopping mall, right? I'm there too, but I saw you earlier so I called you.』 "......Why?" 『Well, 』 "......No, I mean, why did you think it was me?" 『......Eh?』 "It was from behind, right? You might've mistaken someone else for me." 『Nonono! That was definitely you!』 "Like I said, why are you saying that......!"
『That gross doll was hanging from your bag, you know?』
--Click.
The call was cut off once again. This time, he didn't call back.
......Gross doll?
Certainly, every time that guy hung around me, he'd make fun of the doll hanging from my bag, laughing and calling it gross. But, he saw it? Maybe it was someone other than me that had one......? Seriously, knock it off. He said the shopping mall, right? I'll expose you. If there's a culprit, I'll expose you. If you say the original will die if they meet their doppelganger, then I'll kill you first! I'd made to head towards A-ya's house, but I changed my direction and headed for the shopping mall.
*
When I reached the shopping mall, I searched everywhere around me.
In the cafe and shops, and even in the central square, I looked around. However, there was no one like that anywhere. Whether because of fatigue or lack of sleep, I felt lightheaded, and sat down on a bench. "......C-ta?" "......!" Standing there was the classmate who had called me just earlier. "What the hell~! You were here after all~!" "......That's not," "You suddenly hung up on me earlier, and I couldn't reach you after that, so I thought, maybe you were getting creeped out." "......Sorry......I don't feel that well right now."
"......Oh yeah, weren't you with A-ya?"
"......Eh?"
What did he say just now? "Hm? I feel like I saw A-ya earlier, too, but......maybe it was just my imagination? Ah, I also met with......"
.....A-ya was here? In this shopping mall? In my confusion, I couldn't pay attention to the conversation after that. ......................................................So, after all......A-ya was......? "......Nah, I came by myself today." I said, smiling, and left from that place.
*
After resting at the park, I returned home. If there's a possibility that A-ya is the 'fox', there is also a chance that I'd be able to question him soon, and I thought that firstly, I had to get proof. To do that, I need to monitor him intensely. If he's at home, then it's possible to do so. He'd already noticed the camera, and there was also a chance that he'd retrieved it, but there were more cameras other than that one. I'm going to bring this kind of shit game to an end......!
In the middle of returning home, I passed by the shrine where I had been seen. I tried to go in to investigate for a bit, but there wasn't anything as strange as that. When I looked to the exit to go outside, there stood a figure I'd often seen.
--It was D-ne. "......D-ne-chan?" Raising a smile like usual, I spoke up. D-ne entered the park a bit. "......C-ta-san, what's wrong?" "......No, it’s...nothing......" "......?" "......This may sound weird, but...You haven’t...met 'me' today, right?" "......? I’ve......only just met you with right now......haven’t I?" "......Yeah, you're right......" I listened to her answer, and continued on. "......Everyone's...been acting weird......" "......What's wrong? When I met with B-ko-chan earlier, she also seemed...different from usual......almost like it was an imposter." Imposter......my...imposter. Just what is that "me" that's been going around today? Does this have to do with the "Demise Game" too? And A-ya, who might be with the imposter, is...... I felt my expression grow dark. "...... An imposter...huh......" "......Are you really alright?" "......Yeah, I'm fine...at least, that's what I'd like to say, anyway......" "......That's...true......" There was a brief silence. "......C-ta-san, who do you think...the 'fox' is?" "......I don't know......" "B-ko-chan told me that...she thinks I might be the traitor......" "......B-ko did......?" "......Yes......" "It wouldn’t be surprising...Everyone’s feeling on edge right now......Even I think that you could be the 'fox', but B-ko's also suspicious to have told you that. ......I'm not sure about A-ya, though......" Seriously, just who is the 'fox'? Is that someone who showed up in A-ya's room, the culprit? Or could it be that A-ya himself is the 'fox', and he's cooperating with someone else......? If A-ya is the fox, I......wonder if I can even end this game......? "......But, if...just if it does happen, you know? If you ever find out the identity of the 'fox', and you're able to end this game, D-ne-chan......I want to you end it, instantly, without any hesitation." After a brief silence, D-ne slowly answered. "......Alright." From here on out, I'll act for the sake of ending this game. If there was a time where I failed, D-ne too would be killed if she didn't take action. D-ne has surely also noticed something. We exchanged no further words, and left the shrine.
——I have to end this game, and soon.

An Athiest's Lamentation - Mafumafu
From the EXISTENCE album. Lyrics from here.
--
I attach a bookmark to reality and an emptiness that's enough to put me to sleep Before I lose sight of myself, I destroyed a tomorrow that I couldn't bear to stand
An operation of feelings blending in with understanding Performers tailoring a functional novel The closed world I don't stop wishing for The dream I draw out is stupid
Rebuking me again today
Being aware of the yesterday that's disappearing, I close my eyes and walk I find you, broken, and scream out again These lie-ridden hands can't save anything at all Not even myself
With my blurred vision and sickly body The "curse" was hating myself I want to disappear, I want to disappear Before this forged smile withers away
I want to be loved, I want to be loved, prove that I'm living Even though I face right, and even though I face left Everyone is so intently saying to that: "I have to look at everybody. It's the same even if you die, right?"
In that case, I just want to die...
Being aware of the yesterday that won't return, I close my eyes and walk I find you, broken, and scream out again I can't save anything at all, and with these lie-ridden hands What did I kill just now?
Hey, tell me.

Terror - Neru
From the Existence album. Lyrics from this image.
--
I simply write a letter that I can't put into words I thought I'd send it to myself of tomorrow, but There's no address for that I don't even know where I am In that case, what should I do with these feelings?
How do I feel about becoming a me that I didn't want to become? Far off in Heaven, God points his finger and laughs Shut up, you worthless fool Hurry up and go off somewhere Sorrowfully, only misery is gathering
The caged terrorism on the tatami mat shuns love with crossed eyes I've always been singing; no, I've been screaming If you say that's a mistake, I'll shoot you with a bullet heavier than words
Once it's been done to you, take revenge -- it's your turn Take away everything from those discarded dreams The resistance that gambled on the location of my heart Only laughs back at those who were laughed at -- The coup d'etat of life, so to speak An overtime without victory or loss, it's the eve of our counterattack
I earnestly thought that if I put it into song, something would change I simply thought so, without embarrassment or a trace of shame Which one is the guy that left out conquest and the like? There aren't any huge idiots saying that kind of stuff, right?
The terrorism grows afraid and confines itself at the heartless crowd's voice As that happened, I was refused; no, I ran away If this is the last chance, then this kind of horrible stage is too unpleasant, isn't it?
Once it's been done to you, take revenge -- it's your turn Ignore that abuse and those kinds of taunts The mayday that leaks from the wounds in my heart Only laughs back at those were were laughed at -- The intefadah woke up in one room A defensive war without soldiers or command, it's the eve of our revolution
Even if you're reduced to tears, steal it back Your heart is something that belongs only to you
Life is life because it shines so brightly
Even if you fall, even if you collapse, and even if you stumble, it's evidence that you tried to advance, so Laughing at that is the absolute worst, and the Earth will go around even despite that, right?
That's how it is, right, right? So send me an answer.

Shadow Stepping Gänger II - A Rumor Heard One Day (Pages 98 - 110)
Part 2 of the Shadow Stepping Gänger chapter from the Shuuen no Shiori 2 novel.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4
Novel 2 Masterpost
--
——BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!!!!!
Halfway through Kokkuri-san, the announcer's robotic voice had suddenly begun to play. The unpleasant voice that seemed to gouge out my spine echoed unnaturally throughout the room. Just when I finally tried to speak, the intense noise came again. The man's face that was displayed on the screen was twisted as if it were something not of this world, and switched between a laughing, troubled, crying and angry expression. ----And then, the incoming silence.
"......Wh-what was that......j-just now......?" "......I don’t know." "......'Fox'? 'Traitor'......?" "I-it's just a really bad joke, right......?" "......"
We all fell silent at the same time, and looked at each other. In the dim classroom, all of us had pale faces.
Just what was that just now......? If it was someone's prank......I'd thought of that as well, but there were just too many unnatural things. More than anything, the feeling on my skin told me that this was a true nightmare. When I tried to see how A-ya was doing, his face showed more fear than I'd imagined. I'd thought that A-ya, who loved urban legends this much, would surely be happy at our current situation, but it seemed like that wasn't so. When I thought about it more, because he believed in these kinds of urban legends more than anyone, he probably actually was scared.
A long period of time passed…… In reality, it might not even have been longer than a minute,  but…. The silence dragged on. Someone spoke up, saying, “….Anyway, let’s just go home for  today…” and on their suggestion, we left the school.
*
In the end, I went home together with A-ya, but neither of us said a word. Once I reached my own home, I entered my room, and switched on the PC. Before long, the same old familiar screen came up. ——Displayed on the screen was A-ya, who I had just split up with. At first, it had been half-intended as a joke. It started when I had placed a tiny microphone, so small that no one would notice, in the depths of a pocket inside of A-ya’s bag. This so-called interest of examining people’s lifestyles had persisted for A-ya’s sake, and had escalated from there. In the first place, since our families were close, I also knew where the spare key was hidden. Among the things I had discovered in his house, there was nothing suspicious. That’s right! It’s because I’m A-ya’s one and only best friend! With those feelings in mind, I prepared my hidden camera and recording device, and began to monitor A-ya. “Can feel a gaze…… huh.” In all likelyhood, A-ya had probably completely failed to notice that that was my gaze.
When A-ya returned to his room, he sat beside his bed in a fetal position, hugging his knees, and  crept into the futon while shivering. However, he came out of the futon to check his surroundings multiple times and repeatedly turned the TV on and off. To be honest, I had been shaking since just earlier, and wasn’t able to stop. While watching A-ya do those things, I whispered to myself, and somehow managed to remain  calm.
"......Y-you're really just......so helpless, A-ya."
That's right, if I thought calmly about it, there should be no way this would really happen. Dying and killing......Could those things be done? I have to do this right, because I’m the only one who can save A-ya. ......Although, my mental fatigue seemed to be reaching its peak. I turned off the PC, and got into bed.
*
And, the next day, after classes had ended, I met up with A-ya and headed towards the old school building. B-ko was already waiting for us there. "............!" B-ko looked this way, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. "......What's wrong? B-ko-chan." "......" "......B-ko?" "......Y-yesterday..................w-was just a prank......right......?" B-ko was extremely upset. Certainly, yesterday's events had been shocking, but even so, that response was too much. Could it be that something had happened? "......kh," ------Clatter. "............!" Just as B-ko was going to say something, the classroom door opened, and D-ne appeared. As soon as B-ko saw D-ne, she averted her eyes and clammed up. "......About yesterday......In the end, I wonder what that was all about." "......It's hard to tell at this point......I hate to admit it, but there's a chance it might've just been an elaborate prank......" B-ko seemed slightly relieved at A-ya’s words and raised her face. "......But, if it's true, then one of us is......" “----Stop it!” B-ko suddenly yelled, holding her head so as to cover her ears. And it was at that moment----
----THUD!!!!
There was a sudden loud noise, and a shadow appeared outside of the glass room of the old building music room we were all in.
——It was a person.
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
We heard B-ko scream a moment too late.
In the midst of my surprise, my thoughts were still frozen. When I looked at A-ya, he seemed to be paralyzed by his fear and unable to stand up. Right now, the person was dangling in the air at the second floor, staring into the classroom. The rope that hung down from the roof held her up by the neck. "......I-it's the 'girl by the window'......" A-ya was trembling in fear, with a tight, half-smile on his face. "......W-we......have to go call someone......" When I was finally able to understand the situation, I spoke up and tried to move. However, it was obvious to anyone that it was clearly already too late. Call someone......? Just who would you call? In the end, my head was far too full of confusion, and I was unable to move at all.
My memories after that were vague. After the teachers arrived at the scene, and we briefly explained the situation to the police as well, we were told to go home early. From what little information we’d heard from the police, along with what we heard afterwards, it seemed that this incident clearly had too many uncertain points.
"......That kind of thing...is just impossible......" Those words that A-ya whispered somehow lingered in my ears.
*
When I returned home, perhaps because I had finally begun to understand the reality of the situation, I was suddenly attacked by a wave of fear. Whatever I had thought was fear before this was just a mere shock; when you really felt afraid, you couldn't tell if you were cold or hot, or if you were in pain, or if you were itchy, and panic would arise in your chest. I hugged my blankets while shrinking in on myself.
"......Those eyes, those eyes were looking at me......"
I, who enjoyed observing other people, was currently experiencing the feeling of being watched by a higher being. The gaze that wrapped itself around me was extremely unpleasant and disgusting. I couldn't get that dead student's eyes from earlier out of my head. I wonder if I'm the only one feeling this scared? Am I the only one feeling this fear......?!
Without standing up from where I was, I turned on the PC. Right now, how was A-ya, how as A-ya dealing with this......?!
The screen came up, and A-ya's room, the same as always, was displayed on the screen----
----Or so it should've.
For a moment, just only that tiny moment, someone else that was clearly not A-ya came up on the camera, and then vanished.
"......?!"
............Exactly who, was that, just now? It wasn't anyone in A-ya's family, and there were no friends that A-ya would call to his house, other than me. Since A-ya was facing his desk and doing something, I couldn't see his expression.
Tumblr media
The worst case scenario came up in my mind. Could it be, that A-ya was being targeted by the "fox"......?! "......A-yaa!!"
The instant I called out his name, A-ya turned around......
----And faced this way.
Almost exactly in the camera's direction, right now, he was looking past the screen and making eye contact with me. ......It couldn't be, had he noticed the lens......? That's impossible......that kind of thing... For a while, I stayed silent for no real reason, waiting for time to pass without even the slightest of movements. A-ya stared in this direction without changing his expression at all, but after that, he moved his head to look around the room, and then went straight to bed, hugged his knees and fell asleep.
......Was it just my imagination? That silhouette from earlier......and A-ya's gaze too......?
For a while, I examined A-ya's room, but nothing really happened.
More importantly, when A-ya had looked this way, the image quality of his eyes hadn't been all that good, so I'd felt abnormally scared. I remembered those eyes once again.
I turned off my PC’s power, and, deciding to get into bed, stood up from my chair.
——When I turned around——......
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!”
On top of my bed was an object I had never seen before. An old-looking book with a bookmark inserted into it. The goosebumps on my skin told me: ——This is the real thing. What do you mean by this?! What do you mean by this?!! More importantly, it came to me first?! To think that kind of thing existed, that kind of thing……! It’s scary! Scary! What should I do! What should I do?! What am I supposed to do?! My heart’s beating increased in tempo. Leaning on my heavily trembling feet, I grabbed the book so its pages would not flip open. Firstly, I have to get rid of this……. In the meantime, I stowed it away in my bag, and just like A-ya had done earlier, tucked myself  under the futon and closed my eyes while hugging my knees.

Are you going to translate the Kagepro first volume?
I assume you're talking about the novels, in which case no, I don't plan on doing so. It's being translated by Jay, and I know Lam is doing the Kisaragi Attention chapter from that novel, and I believe Lite's doing Mekakushi Code? I'm not very sure who exactly is doing what, but they're working on it for sure.
