Idia Shroud - I can’t

You can unlock this story by getting Idia’s SR Ceremony outfit

Translation under the cut

TL notes

Q.E.D. is a manga where the main character gets roped into various detective cases by his friend and only solves them because they asked.

Idia calls others with the -shi suffix, which can be translated as Mr. but I left that out.

Ignihyde Dorm - Idia's room

Idia: Sigh… I can't do it after all… Why did I make that nonsensical promise with Ortho to appear at the entrance ceremony… No, it's because I'm weak to Ortho's requests, I know, I know, I’m almost like that Q.E.D. guy… But I shouldn't be!

Idia: There's no way that a shut-in like me will suddenly show up at a big event like the entrance ceremony where all the students gather! Y-Y-Yet I'm the dorm leader…?! Just thinking of everyone watching me… Ugh. I'm feeling extremely dizzy. I'm getting a stomachache. I'm totally feeling sick right now, oh no, guess I gotta call in sick;

*Knocking*

Ortho: Brother?

Idia: Ack! … O-Ortho. Is there something?

Ortho: I'm going to the sports field for a bit. There's only one week left until the entrance ceremony, so I quickly have to get used to my new body!

Idia: O-Okay. Have a safe trip. Don't stay out too late.

Ortho: Okay~

Idia: He's so cheerful… Does the entrance ceremony make him that happy? If I were to tell him that I’ll skip out on the entrance ceremony because it’s too harsh for mr, he'll surely be disappointed… What should I do…

*Knocking*

Idia: O-oh!? O-Ortho, is that you!?

Riddle: Idia, it's me, Riddle Rosehearts from Heartslabyul.

Idia: R-R-Riddle?! W-Why are you at Ignihyde?

Riddle: Because the principal asked me. I will bring you to the dorm leader meeting for the ceremony, even if I have to collar you… understand? Good grief, the entrance ceremony is so close, yet you have not even shown your face once during the preparations. The only ones who have not come to the meeting are you and Malleus. Please hurry and come.

Idia: I…

Riddle: I?

Idia: I can't.

Riddle: … Huh? You can't? What do you mean? You are in good health, are you not?

Idia: N-No, Ortho isn't here now… talking face to face with you guys… and then the meeting… I definitely can't do it!

Riddle: Stop making excuses… you are a dorm leader. You should not be so lenient on yourself. It is not like I have free time either. Hurry and go, and open the door!

Idia: I, I-I don't want to! I-It's not like I wanted to become the dorm leader!

Riddle: You are being irresponsible. Once you put in charge, it is only natural that you perform your role, no matter the reason.

Idia: Argh… there it is, oh there it is, "It's only natural"~ There they impose their sense of values upon me again.

Riddle: You are always so irritating! Did I say something wrong?! You are an being inconvenient to everyone. You could have the decency to at least help prepare for the entrance ceremony…

Idia: Oof, there it is, the ultimate magic "Everyone"… Using peer pressure to erase the individual, being looked down upon by the common opinion so you can't see the truth. The youth of today that knows no autonomy, it's truly frightening, I sympathize with the future of Twisted Wonderland.

Riddle: Hn, Hngh…. You cannot even talk to someone's face… The only reason you can use these big words is because this door separates us! I always thought this, but a person like you who loves agitating others corrupts the public morals of this school. More than anything, you displease me. Now stop your fast-talking!

Idia: Huh, why are you the one blowing up in my face… scary… I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish…

Riddle: Hngh! I said it is because you displease me! An incompetent dorm leader like you should not command me around!

Idia: I have a reserved and restrained personality, unlike you attention seeker…

Riddle: … What did you just say?

Idia: Ack… A-Anyway, please leave me alone! I was doing fine like this even before you entered the school.

Riddle: I see, I see. So that's how it is. It must have been awfully easy, was it not? Then why don't you have Ortho Shroud do everything so you don't have to lift a finger!

Idia: Eh?

Riddle: You won't have to attend the meeting, you won't have to prepare for the ceremony, neither will you have to deal with the visitors, you can just leave everything to that robot. In any case, you had no intention of attending the entrance ceremony at all, right? Can it be that you were planning to leave the speech to him as well? How pathetic, being forced to work by the irresponsible dorm leader!

Idia: Huh? I never said I wasn't going to the entrance ceremony? Stop making assumptions? I'm going to this entrance ceremony!

Riddle: Perhaps you should stop bragging about common sense? It seems I have made a terrible fool of myself. Can I expect a moving speech from you?

Idia: Piece of cake.

Riddle: Hm. Then I shall grasp my handkerchief and look forward to it!

Idia: … … …Am I not the fool?! "I'm going to this entrance ceremony"…. I don't want to! I can't! Shitshitshitshit… what to do…

Chapter 2

Mirror Chamber The day of the entrance ceremony

Idia: I-I somehow made it to the mirrors… I can do this. I will do this. Using self-suggestion is important. … …Hn… A, Aah… I can't! It's too scary! If I enter everyone will stare at me anyway?! And then they'll start whispering about me! "Who's that?" "Does he not get burned by his hair?" "Isn't he from the cursed Shroud family…" "His anxiety might be contagious" and things like that… Or maybe they'll start poking me with a stick while saying that I'm gross for being blue all over…! I don't want that! Someone save me! …No this is useless. I should calm down at once. I want to go to a quiet place without people to cool my head… Ah, if Ortho was here, he could encourage me. Where did he go…

Courtyard

Idia: If only I didn’t fight with Riddle... And if I didn’t give Ortho false hope. What should I do now...

???: Is that Shroud I hear?

Idia: Hah?!

Malleus: So it is. How unusual.

Idia: M-Malleus…Why are you here?

Malleus: You mean since when? Hehe, I do not recollect seeing you since you became the dorm leader.

Idia: Malleus Draconia… The next ruler of the Valley of Thorns, the dorm leader of Diasomnia! Why is the Ultra SSR Character that is supposed to play the leading role in the ceremony here!?

Malleus: But to see you outside. What are you doing here?

Idia: Ah… I-I thought I would get some fresh air… just like you.

Malleus: I see, just like me. I understand, you needed a distraction.

Idia: A distraction?_

Malleus: Hm? You want a distraction, right? Looking at the scenery, feeling the atmosphere. Thinking about whatever. Relaxing.

Idia: Relaxing!? I-I can’t get even more anxious!

Malleus: Is that so? Then you should enjoy yourself more.

Idia: Enjoy myself!? …That's where I and you differ.

Malleus: Hm? What do you mean?

Idia: A, Ah, no… It's nothing. … But… But I made a promise with Ortho. I would wear these clothes and come today. That's why… Aah, but it's too scary…!

Malleus: By the way, why are you wearing those clothes?

Idia: Huh?

Malleus: Hm?

Idia: Uhm. Do you mean… they don't fit me? I, I-I, I… look strange after all.

Malleus: Hm. It's not like they don't fit you… but I have my questions. Actually, if you say it's strange, it might be strange.

Idia: Urgh…

Malleus: First of all, why did you promise to "go out" like this? It doesn't seem like a big deal.

Idia: I-It might not be a big deal for you, but for me…!

Malleus: Humans are sometimes awfully inconceivable. Oh well, that's interesting about them.

Idia: Inconceivable…

Malleus: No, I didn't mean to make fun of you. I'm very interested.

Idia: So… it's like this after all huh, I see what you're getting at! So you think I'm not capable of donning these beautiful clothes and appearing before a lot of people! Isn't that what you wanted to get at from the start?_ No matter how much I struggle, it's already confirmed that I'm on the dark route towards multiple bad endings, so it's useless. I-I, I-I-I, I'm…I'm…!

Malleus: Shroud? What happened?

Idia:… Ugh, it's nothing! It doesn’t matter!

Malleus: And there he went. What an awfully strange man. To think he wore his ceremony robes for a simple stroll. … But it has been very noisy since this morning. I wonder if something is happening…

Mirror Chamber

Idia (Tablet): Students of Ignihyde, please gather here…

Riddle: Heh. He did not come even after I gave him a good scolding… he is incompetent, after all. I worry for the students that have a dorm leader this unreliable. They have my most sincere sympathies.

Vil: Hah… he did it.

Ignihyde Dorm - Idia's room

Idia: It seems that the outdoors has nothing but events that torment me… I should just confine myself and shut out all those useless earthly sounds! From the start, I differed from people like Malleus and other humans who have something I don't. How could I ever forget that.

Idia: … Hm? But isn't this great? I noticed I couldn’t do it, before I went and made an enormous embarrassment of myself in front of the students…

Idia: I see… I'm sure Ortho didn't want to expose everyone to his big brother's shameful sight. This is the best! Why, am I simply not the best! Didn’t I just auto-play myself into the best route~

Idia: Ortho is probably fully enjoying the entrance ceremony by himself right now. He was looking so much forward to it, after all. This is the best. … It really is.

Be My Princess Social // Yakov Chernenkov, Season 1, Episode 1

// The Great Prince of the Country of Ice

o wats this, self-indulgent crap?? haha the joke is that all the translations i post are self-indulgent crap, thank you for coming to the press conference

This is going to be part of a translation of the Yakov Chernenkov route for the Be My Princess Social Platforms (GREE, Joshige, Eternal Kiss, etc.)

I figured this should be… relatively all right given that it seems like Voltage is done with BMP Social games forever in terms having English versions. tbh kinda surprised no one ever took the task of doing it. publicly at least? i searched a bit, found nothing. if someone already did it pls tell me lol …..but i guess something like this is a stan’s job to do, right (ﾟ▽ﾟ*)

idk, we’ll see how this goes… only did 1 ep as a test run to see if i feel like doing this rn lol this is lengthy endeavor

Image-heavy!! Please credit if you take any of it, thenk u (･ω･*)

Intro & Legend

This route is similar to Zain’s in that they wipe just about everything from the Paid version (the one with Sergei and the Anastasia backstory…lol that was wild thinking abt it) and start anew with the character. But Yakov is different from all the other BMP1 characters in that they also changed his personality almost completely. This is reflected in his profile when they change his blood type and age from the Paid version (B → O, 25 → 31)

If you’re familiar with the Social Zain route, you can kinda see through his bits how they changed him. A BMP fansite master describes him as “high-handed, but charismatic - a person with the character of a king” which sums it up better than anything I could ever think up

So I guess it would be a good idea to not carry over expectations from the Paid app route to this route because that’s just a recipe for disappointment lol. i know a lot of people like the Yakov from the Paid route, so I wanted to put that out there. It’s a shame bc that character is effectively “gone” but… the yakov i stan is the social one, so if that had to happen so my 2d man could come into existence…well…

thank u for ur sacrifice

➤ are my own commentary.

➢ are the choices that pop up. For the most part I have both (iirc I don’t have one near the end bc I forgot I was trying to pick the wrong ones on purpose lol). Note that all my wrong answers are from the original version’s text and thus they may have been changed for EK. Correct answers are labeled with ❆

➼ at the end of a line signals that the choice text has “ended” and it returns back to the general text. The general text resumes on the line that begins with a ➼. This is mostly just for organization on my part - the docs I type+format these on get very, very annoying to scroll through, so

Bolded dialogue reflect the screencaps.

I hope you enjoy some part of it! ( ´◡` ) Thanks for reading

Episode 1 // The Great Prince of the Country of Ice

➤ Interestingly, the original title they used for GREE and Joshige is The Cold, Rational Prince of Sanct Sybil Kingdom. I dunno why they would change it except maybe it was too long for the title card to look pretty lol

When I opened the door at the sound of the chime, there stood a man wearing a gentle smile on his face. Taking note of my presence, he places his hand to his breast and gracefully bows.

[Zain]: “You must be Miss Kara Go. I am Zain, the personal steward of Nobel Michel Castle.” [Zain]: “As promised, I have come to pick you up.” [Kara]: “Y-Yes. I am indeed Kara Go.” [Kara]: “To go out of your way to come here - thank you so much.” (Am I really… not just dreaming here?) Pulling a letter out from my pocket, I recall the events over the past few days that had led up to today.

I had torn the seal of a blank-white envelope that had no written return address, and my eyes widened in shock. “I want you to become an exclusive designer.” In the enclosed message - along with a bit of contact information, the end of the letter had been signed by Nobel the XIII, the lord of Nobel Michel Castle. (This must be some sort of mistake… A-Anyhow, I should try to verify it.) Thinking that, I call the contact number on the letter…

But, indeed - the letter was not a mistake, and they spoke to me about wanting to have a proper consultation about the position. I was told that Lord Nobel wanted some time to talk in-person with me, and eventually the promised day where I felt that my dreams were coming over the horizon… finally came. (Even when it’s finally here, in front of me of like this, I still can’t believe it…) [Zain]: “Thus, His Grace awaits. Let us depart.” [Kara]: “O-Okay…” With a spring to my step, I get onto the limousine with Zain.

(It would’ve never crossed my mind that I’d be going to Nobel Michel Castle for a second time.) (And on top of that, I’ve been called here in terms of being a designer of all things…) I was pretty nervous the time I had come here for Jean Pierre’s errand, but now I’m even more nervous compared to that day. I felt my heart noisily thumping as I waited for Lord Nobel, and eventually the parlor door opened.

[Zain]: “My Lady, we must deeply apologize.” [Zain]: “His Grace’s conference is going longer than expected, so it seems you will have to wait a few moments longer.” [Kara]: “I see…” [Zain]: “Since you took your most valued time to come here― Would you like to take a look around the castle gardens until the conference is over?” [Kara]: “Castle gardens… you say?” [Zain]: “Indeed. Several varieties of the rare flowers we raise are currently in bloom– so if it pleases you, I can guide you around.” (You don’t get the chance to tour the Nobel Castle gardens everyday.) [Kara]: “Then, if you may.” [Zain]: “Very well. Shall we go now?” With Zain as my guide, I get to visit the castle gardens.

[Kara]: “Wow… it’s absolutely stunning.” [Zain]: “Thank you. Everyone who visits these gardens tend to voice similar sentiments about it.” The courtyard stretched over a vast space, and it was a feast for the eyes even with a simple glance. (In a way, it’s as if I’ve been sucked into a fairy tale.) As Zain explained the parts and features within it, I was completely enamored by the beautiful garden― When an teenage boy clad in a butler’s uniform comes running to us from the castle.

[???]: “Zain! So this is where you were.” [Zain]: “…Theo, you are before a guest.” [Zain]: “I must apologize, My Lady.” [Zain]: “This is Theo, who is training in this castle as an apprentice steward.” The boy called Theo – at being scolded by Zain, straightened his posture accordingly.

➤ i can’t believe bmp2 stans denied us from having the wacky family sitcom a theo route would have smh my head bro

[Theo]: “…I am Theo.” [Kara]: “I’m Kara. Nice to meet you, Theo.” [Theo]: “M-Mhm…” Theo, whose face still held remnants of childlike youth, averted his eyes shyly. Then Zain, who had witnessed all of this, lightly presses the boy in a gentle tone. [Zain]: “Theo, did you have any matters to discuss with me?” [Theo]: “Ah-, right! I was sent by His Grace to relay this message to you.” [Theo]: “He urgently wants your input on something, so you gotta come to the conference room.” [Zain]: “His Grace does?” [Zain]: “But, right now…” His eyebrows knit together, as if troubled. With a smile I turn to him. [Kara]: “I’ll be all right by myself. Though while I wait, may I take a look around the garden?” [Zain]: “Yes, of course.” [Zain]: “I apologize for being unable to guide you around myself for now– but if you could meet with me afterwards…” [Zain]: “Can you wait just a moment?” [Kara]: “All right.” Sounding apologetic in his words, he then goes with Theo towards the castle. (Being the exclusive butler to Lord Nobel must be quite the busy job…) I thought about that as I took a stroll around the calm gardens, sunlight beaming… When―

[Man]: “Please, at least, once more– Please consider thinking about it…!” The cries of a man at his wits’ end cut through the silence of the courtyard. (Is something going on…?) Looking in the direction of the voice, I find three men standing from the other side of the building. The shouting from earlier seems to have come from a man who looked slightly older from other two, and said man also seemed to be desperately calling for something. [Man]: “…The state of the administration right now still is unstable.” [Man]: “If we act too carelessly, the balance of the three nations could collapse once more!” [???]: “…I have long past made a decision.” The words that had answered the aggravated man were bound to a terribly icy voice. As this man stood with his back facing me, I was unable to see his face; but from pitch alone he seemed to be a young man. With his long, platinum-blond hair having been pleated into a single braid, he silently rebuffs the rage of the older one.

[???]: “Even if you did indeed manage to chase me all the way here― Decisions are not something to turn back from.” [???]: “That is all that need be said, so I shall leave first.” [Man]: “…Yakov–Sir, why are you this impatient?!” [Man]: “It can't be that you don’t realize that now is a crucial time for the country, is it…?!” In pure exasperation, the older man grabs onto the man called Yakov. But in doing so, a man in a butler’s uniform that had stood across from him swiftly yanks the man off.

[Butler]: “What are you thinking in that head of yours, grabbing onto someone of his (Yakov’s) status?” [Butler]: “Even if you get imprisoned for disrespecting the state, this is an inexcusable situation you’ve found yourself in.”

➤ so the term he uses is specifically for lèse-majesté, which is the fancy term for insulting the ruling sovereign, monarchy, ruling state, etc. etc. but i didn’t want to just throw in that term bc i felt like it’s not… very common? idk i feel like the bmp mc wouldn’t know what that is granted i guess you could do the galaxy brain take and be like “she doesn’t know what that term is and that’s why she couldn’t piece together that yakov is royalty”

[Man]: “Urgh…!” The older man was then pinned to the ground, and as his arms were confined behind his back, he groans in pain. The moment I see the expression on his face, a cry spills out from my lips.

[Kara]: “Ah…!” [Yakov]: “…!” Hearing my voice, the platinum-blond man whips his head around.

His eyes, peeking out from behind his long bangs and deep blue like the sea, then sharply leveled at me. [Yakov]: “…What is your business?” [Kara]: “Uh…”

(What should I answer with?) Menacingly asked to speak, I…

➢ I’m unable to say anything. ➢ “He’s in pain.” ❆

➢ I’m unable to say anything. (This person… has an awfully intimidating air to him.) Unable to say anything particularly impactful, I only turn my eyes to the man held to the ground. ➼

➢ “He’s in pain.” [Kara]: “I don’t know what’s going on here, but you’ve gone too far… He’s in pain.” [Yuri]: “Of course. It’s only natural for it to hurt when you’re bound down like this.” The man in the butler’s uniform answers me with a smile plastered on his face. (What the-… He’s smiling, but it’s honestly quite frightening-) [Kara]: “B-But… if you end up injuring him, that’d be terrible, no…?!” While paralyzed with fear, I managed to raise my voice at him. ➼

➼ With that, the platinum-blond man shifts his eyes to the man in the butler’s uniform. [Yakov]: “―Yuri, release him.” [Yuri]: “…” At his words, the one called Yuri immediately relinquishes his hold.

➤ Yuri’s name might actually be Urey, as one of Ivan’s Birthday Event routes note how Ivan’s wolf Urey and butler Yuri have the same name (by coincidence). But the JPN version always spells it as Yuri so I’m just used to it. Not that you should really be taking the app’s romanization as official though given they have stuff like “Lewis” (Louis), “Jean” (Jan), and the occasional “Robert” for Roberto ( ´_ゝ｀)

As the older man staggers back up from the ground, the blond man speaks to the two of them. [Yakov]: “Do not start trouble in the castle grounds of other kingdoms.” [Yakov]: “ ―Regarding what happened here today, I shall overlook it this time. Good?” [Yuri]: “Understood.” [Man]: “…My sincere apologies.” As the two men lower their heads, the man called Yakov then directs his piercing gaze towards me.

[Yakov]: “Forget what you just saw and heard here. Not a word to anyone.” With only those words to me, he leaves with the other two following behind him. (That “Yakov” person, and “Yuri” too… what terrifying people.) Alone in the garden, I was completely petrified to the spot from the overwhelming pressure those men had left me with.

[Theo]: “―Miss Kara, here is where His Grace’s been hanging o– awaiting your presence, rather.” Afterwards, Lord Nobel’s conference had ended and Theo had come to take me to him. While heading to the parlor where His Grace was waiting, Theo’s innocent self causes a smile to crack my features. [Kara]: “Just ‘Kara’ is fine, Theo. On that note, you don’t have to speak so formally with me.” [Theo]: “Uh- But…” [Kara]: “I’ll be more at ease and less nervous that way.” [Kara]: “Besides, I’m in a similar situation as you.” [Theo]: “‘Similar’?” [Kara]: “I’m only a rookie designer.” [Kara]: “So like how you’re an apprentice butler, it’s kind of a similar position.” [Theo]: “Gotcha…” At my explanation, Theo, apparently happy about some part of it, breaks into a smile. [Theo]: “…I get you. Then- When we’re together like this, I’ll be sure to do it.” [Theo]: “Since only super-distinguished people ever come to this castle, I get pretty stressed out.” [Kara]: “Hehe, I’m feeling the same too. Just entering this castle makes me anxious.”

[Theo]: “Right?! Lord Nobel and Zain treat me really well so it’s all right for now, but…” Theo wore a smile that was quite fitting for a young boy like himself. Calmed by his pure sincerity, I enter the reception room.

[Theo]: “…Your Grace, I have brought Miss Kara Go.” [Nobel]: “Thank you for your hard work.” [Nobel]: “Kara, sorry for making you have to wait on me when I was the one who called you up here.” Lord Nobel wears a merry smile on his face as he kindly welcomes me. I bow my head down in gratitude. [Kara]: “I am, indeed, Kara Go.” [Kara]: “Thank you for inviting me to such a meeting.” [Nobel]: “You don’t have to greet me so formally,” [Nobel]: “as the truth still stands that I was the one who summoned you today. I just wanted to talk with ya about something.” [Nobel]: “―So, Kara, do you know of the country of Sanct Sybil?” [Kara]: “Yes. I’m only knowledgeable with news and info that’s been reported to the public, but…”

Sanctis, Sybil, Versurk― Those three countries had united into one, and the resulting nation is apparently called “Sanct Sybil” from what I’ve heard. With this as my sole knowledge of the country, Lord Nobel speeds up the conversation.

[Nobel]: “Then I’ll cut to the chase.” [Nobel]: “The truth is that Sanct Sybil is planning to join the Nobel Michel Alliance.” [Nobel]: “As they’re still a new nation, they’re searching for talent both inside and outside the country.” [Nobel]: “In pursuit of capable individuals, the prince of Sanct Sybil has come to me for some guidance, so…” Cutting his own words short, a smile then markedly graces his features.

[Nobel]: “Kara, you are to be the exclusive designer of Sanct Sybil Castle.” [Nobel]: “I thought that I’d like to go see you work there.” [Kara]: “Uh-…” (I’m… going to be the exclusive designer… for a royal castle?!)

[Nobel]: “Besides yourself, I’ve been in talks with other talented folks in all sorts of industries.” [Nobel]: “It’s only the designer position that’s yet to be decided.” [Nobel]: “I personally wanted to recommend you, but… what do you think?” [Kara]: “Um… I’m truly grateful to be able to have this conversation with you, but…” [Kara]: “Since I’m still new to this, I don’t have any achievements to show for anything.” [Kara]: “Knowing that, why did you call on me for this…?” I can’t hide my own utter confusion from his sudden invitation. Voicing my bewildered thoughts with that question, the corners of his lips quirk up into a smile.

[Nobel]: “I learned about you through a list I asked from Jean Pierre.” Lord Nobel, upon consulting with the prince of Sanct Sybil, requested Jean Pierre to produce a list of designers with promising futures. (Jean Pierre himself put me on that list…) [Nobel]: “Certainly, you don’t have any prior accolades… but within the multitude of applicants, I saw your design sketches,” [Nobel]: “and I was considerably charmed by them.” [Nobel]: “I grew delighted just from simply looking at that design.” [Nobel]: “And for that reason I wish to bring you to Sanct Sybil, a nation newly born into this world.” [Nobel]: “I think that a person full of zeal like yourself is necessary for such a place.” [Kara]: “Your Grace…” [Nobel]: “By all means, please consider it for me.” (I’m simply unworthy to be having this sort of discussion…)

At Lord Nobel’s invitation, I…

➢ “Give me some time.” ❆ ➢ “If it is all right with the other party…”

➢ "Give me some time.” Having heard all of this from Lord Nobel so far, the feeling of wanting to give it a shot comes to me. (But…) [Kara]: “…Could you give me a bit of time to think about it?” [Nobel]: ”Of course. You should go ponder it a great deal before coming to a decision.” ➼

➢ “If it is all right with the other party…” [Kara]: “If it is all right with the other party, I feel that I would like to accept this offer.” [Kara]: “However…” There’s an uneasy feeling in my heart about it, and my words drift off. Then Lord Nobel, as if he understood my thoughts nods his head once. [Nobel]: “It’s all right if you don’t rush yourself to a decision.” ➼

➼ [Nobel]: “Can you give Zain an answer a few days from now?” [Kara]: “Understood.” Putting my answer on hold for a moment, I depart Nobel Castle.

(The chance to be the exclusive designer for a royal castle won’t ever come by me again, but…) (While Jean Pierre is having a hard time, I can’t just leave him like this.) Turning down the offer to be dropped off at my apartment, I head towards the office of Jean Pierre.

[Jean Pierre]: “Oh my, is that ma petite?” [Kara]: “Pierre!” Not expecting to meet him like this, I’m surprised to see him here. As if he had sensed something about me, he smiles.

[Jean Pierre]: “…With a face like that, looks like you got something to talk about, hmm?” [Jean Pierre]: “Instead of standing around outside to chat, please just come on in.”

Pierre unlocks the door to his office and I come inside. [Jean Pierre]: “You somehow came all the way here… Could it be that you had talked with Lord Nobel?” [Kara]: “…Yes.” [Kara]: “I received an invitation to work as the exclusive designer of Sanct Sybil Castle.” [Kara]: “But for someone like me, who has no experience nor achievements, to take up such a grand job is…” [Kara]: “I don’t really have the confidence that I can do something like that.” [Kara]: “And on top of that, I want to be further taught by you…”

[Jean Pierre]: “What are you saying?! Is this not a good thing? This is your big chance!” He looks at me with a serious expression. [Jean Pierre]: “In that list I submitted to Lord Nobel, there were also designers that had prior achievements.” [Jean Pierre]: “Despite that, I was convinced that you would be the one to be chosen.” [Kara]: “Why… is that?” [Jean Pierre]: “From your designs, I feel this power to them.” [Jean Pierre]: “There are some parts that are rough around the edges, but there’s this energy, one that can completely transform people, hidden within!” [Jean Pierre]: “Lord Nobel definitely sensed that too, I bet.” [Kara]: “Ah…” (Thinking about it, Lord Nobel did say something along those lines…) (He said that the designs- from simply looking at them, he grew delighted…)

[Jean Pierre]: “Please believe in yourself.” [Jean Pierre]: “I, as well as His Grace, would never recommend someone who we’d feel couldn’t do the job.” [Jean Pierre]: “I believe in your potential, ma petite.” [Kara]: “Pierre…” Even though he himself is in a difficult position, he’s so firmly supporting me in this. With my heart overwhelmed with such emotion that I couldn’t speak, Jean Pierre smiles. [Jean Pierre]: “I’m also going to use this moment as a source of encouragement for myself, as I plan to work hard as a designer once more.” [Jean Pierre]: “One day, no doubt in my mind― the offices of Jean Pierre will be restored!” [Jean Pierre]: “And that’s why, ma petite… without worrying about these offices, please just go and try what you want to try.” [Kara]: “…Thank you!” (I can’t let this chance from Jean Pierre and Lord Nobel just pass me by.) Urged on by Jean Pierre, a smile appears on my face as my chest is enveloped in this determination.

―That night. Resolute in accepting the offer of exclusive designer, I contact Zain as soon as I return to the apartment. [Kara]: “Concerning the aforementioned position of Sanct Sybil’s designer… I think that I will accept the invitation.” [Zain]: “Thank you very much. I think that His Grace will be quite pleased to hear that.” In a soft tone - As if thinking for a moment, Zain continues to speak. [Zain]: “If I can be honest with you, the prince of Sanct Sybil himself is actually coming to stay at the castle for official business.” [Zain]: “Normally, we would hold your interview over at Sanct Sybil, but…” [Zain]: “Since the prince will be coming over, how about you two introduce each other here at Nobel Castle instead?” (Is that so?) (Even if Lord Nobel is recommending me, it could become a situation where the prince of Sanct Sybil is not too impressed by me.) [Kara]: “I see… If you could reserve some time for that, that’d be great.” [Zain]: “Then, I shall make the proper arrangements and contact you again.” And with that, it was decided that I would meet the prince of Sanct Sybil.

A few days later―

I’ve been called to Nobel Castle once more. While having a spot of tea with Lord Nobel and Theo, I bow my head again. [Kara]: “―Thank you for granting me an opportunity like this.” [Nobel]: “Ohohoho.” [Nobel]: “At any rate.. you’ve become quite resolute about this.” [Kara]: “…Yes. Your Grace has given me words of immense appreciation, and Jean Pierre has also encouraged me.” [Kara]: “I think, as a designer, I want to take advantage of these chances given to me.” (But… with no achievements of my own, I wonder if the Prince will approve of me…) Anxiety running through my heart, Lord Nobel smiles while stroking his beard. [Nobel]: “I also have hopes for you, Miss Kara.” [Nobel]: “I believe that, surely, the prince of Sanct Sybil will indeed require your power.” [Kara]: “Thank you…!” When I beam at Lord Nobel’s kind words, Theo then cuts into the conversation.

[Theo]: “So Kara… really is a designer, huh.”

[Theo]: “But… if it were possible, I was hoping that you’d become the designer for this castle.” [Kara]: “Hehe, thank you.” [Kara]: “I think that I definitely wouldn’t be able to be the designer for Nobel Michel, but I hope one day I’ll be able to make clothes for you, Theo.” Replying to Theo with a smile, Lord Nobel watches us with a gentle look on face. [Nobel]: “Ho ho, looks like you two have become quite close.” [Nobel]: “As I thought, Kara, you seem to have this charm that just mellows out everything around you.” He laughed heartily when there came a knock on the door. [Zain]: “Please excuse the interruption,”

[Zain]: “For I have brought Prince Yakov of Sanct Sybil.”

➤ “op are u just making excuses to post caps of zain as much as possible” perhaps PERHAPS if im gonna need to break down the blobs of text, zain is nice to look at

(Ah…) I get up from my chair, and face the doorway nervously. But at the next moment, my eyes instinctively open wide. (That, person…) The figures that followed behind Zain were two men I was familiar with―

The platinum-blond man with the air of intimidating beauty, and the man in the butler uniform who had worn a smile on his face―

The people I had witnessed in the courtyard days before.

[Prince Yakov]: “―As I have heard that you have found a candidate for the designer position, I have come.” [Prince Yakov]: “Your Grace, I give you my humble gratitude for granting my request.” [Kara]: “Eh…” [Prince Yakov]: “…” I inadvertently let out a small cry of surprise, and the Prince finally meets my eyes. For a split second his eyes had widened, but almost immediately after it shifts into a sharp gaze. (A person like him is the prince of Sanct Sybil, of all things…)

Steeped in the shocking reality of it all, I stare dumbfounded at Prince Yakov―

➤ now part of me was thinking, do people really need all the screencaps of when he makes the -_- face but honestly him doing the -_- face for half of his portraits on this route is part of the experience

To be continued…

(Letter)

➤ so uh this might be a crapshoot in terms of placement bc there’s diff letters based on the special story you choose, and also i forget where the last few letters go loool but that won’t be a problem until later

From: Yakov Title: (untitled)

…So you are the designer recommended by Lord Nobel? If you come to my country, you will be treated to the finest hospitality. Therefore you should not ponder over unnecessary matters and just bring yourself here. Good?

―Yakov

holy fucc idk why this is more tiring to translate than other stuff. maybe bc this is a slow route where we have exposition and non-romantic chara development we have to tread thru first. also lol translating the bmp writers’ style seems like more work? vs stuff like cybird? idk it’s hard to explain. i’m not a super big fan of what i have rn…. in fact i’m like wtf what is this incomprehensible garbage i made... but i’m too tired to do revisions rn…… aye… but i’ll definitely look over it again in attempt to give it more clarity+readability so yea. there’s nothing’s “wrong” in terms of the literal meaning per se - it’s more like i’d like to make it flow better and actually follow grammar rules instead of cheating with dashes and line breaks hahaaa

anyway guess ill see u at the next part when (if?) i bother to do it. hrmmm i should try to make the chunks larger given that this story is 15 eps + 3 special stories (with ~3 variations for each story) + epilogue but fuuu ill get there when i get there

Next Episode…

“If you wish to hear of my tastes - you will have to ask me in a more alluring voice.”

yea thats rite im hitting u with the azn drama cliffhanger. well now i have to do this translation or else this would be mean….. this is a psychological effort to get me to not leave this unfinished

Again, thanks for reading!

#be my princess #yakov chernenkov #bmpYCS1 #yea thatll be my tag for this shit so feel free to block it #bmp

indescribable

synopsis: Fashion photographer Bakugou Katsuki’s world got irrevocably changed when he inadvertently met Uraraka Ochako, whose fiery eyes are strangely familiar to him for some reason.

prompt: je ne sais quoi, a French phrase which literally translates to “I do not know what.” It is commonly used to describe a certain quality that cannot be adequately put into words.

word count: 1,628 words

note: Shout-out to @vanaera and @senfleurs for being the bestest friends a girl could ever ask for. Seriously, I hope you both realize just how much your words have motivated me to continue writing.

If you have noticed any inaccuracies, please let me know. Also, I am unsure as to whether or not to continue this. I guess we’ll see in time. Comments and constructive criticisms are highly appreciated! ❤️

—

Under the bright stage lights, as if it was only natural, Katsuki’s eyes found hers immediately among the sea of hopeful faces. She, with her soft pink ensemble, doe eyed look, and short but curvy physique, stood out in the crowd of skinny figures dressed in the fanciest clothes with practiced smiles and brimming with confidence. It was ironic, to say the least, that it seemed that his eyes automatically singled her out when there was nothing remarkable about her appearance: a simple white buttoned top with cut-out shoulders tucked into her pastel green flowing skirt. Her eyes, though, were different from her otherwise inconspicuous get-up. They sparkled with unflinching determination, almost breaking through the surface of her fragile mask of composure. It was a look of pure challenge, taunting and daring, and fuck, it looked really good on her cherub face. Not one to back down from challenges, Katsuki stared right back, unable to stop the feral grin from breaking out on his face.

This should be interesting, he thought.

“You, round face, at the back,” he called out, resolutely, as if there could never be any other choice than her (and perhaps, there never was). His voice reverberated against the four walls of the studio room, halting all the quiet conversations and nervous ramblings among the participants at once. “With the orange headband and grass skirt.”

Everyone turned to look at him, for this was the first time he had spoken after he was introduced ten minutes ago. not that he needed any kind of introduction. He was Katsuki Bakugou, a photographer whose name has long been circulating in the fashion industry for having featured in and worked with various famous magazines. His parents have long since established the family’s reputation by creating the most glamorous and avant-garde designs to grace the catwalk. While Katsuki chose a path for himself, opting instead to work behind a camera, he did not stray too far from his parents’ influence.

Nonetheless, in spite of his wish to separate his career from his parents’ connections, he quickly rose to fame for being a Bakugou. Katsuki, being his usual self, did not bother to prove himself to anyone else. After all, his photographs, which were more than enough to showcase his abilities, never failed to capture the candidness and reality beyond the fabricated portrayal of the world of fashion.

And now there he was, inside a spare atelier in his parents’ building, searching for a suitable candidate for his next project. Given his work history, it was not unusual that out of all the stunning women occupying the same room as him, he chose her.

She, who must have been unconsciously looking at him, but was actually intensely focused on something else. Because the second he pointed at her form, she froze. As did everyone else, and a beat of unnerving silence passed.

Her eyes went wide in bewilderment, surprised at the sudden attention. When she answered, it was meek and hesitant. “M-me?” She pointed at herself, and under the scrutinizing eyes of the other hopeful attendees, she reminded him of a gazelle about to be preyed upon by a pack of hungry lions.

It was fucking hilarious to Katsuki, the duality with which the girl held herself. Just a moment ago, he glimpsed a vexed goddess, looking every bit as someone rudely awakened from her eternal slumber. Now, it’s gone, and there’s barely a trace of her left in this fragile girl.

“Yes, you,” he replied, “what’s your name, round face?”

Ah, there it fucking was, he thought as he was regarded with that same blazing look in her eyes. But as quickly as it came, it was gone underneath her lids as she closed her eyes. She took a deep breath before replying in a steady voice, “Ochako Uraraka, sir!”

Although he was expecting it, he had to admit that he was surprised to hear the strength in her voice. From that distance, he can almost see her fists clenched at her sides.

“Uraraka,” he breathed, amused at how strangely natural it seemed to roll off his tongue. “Follow me then.”

Uraraka immediately nodded, squeezing in between the women standing in front of her, before following Bakugou who’s almost out the door. However, Kirishima, Bakugou’s optimistic friend and close companion, stopped him from leaving by asking: “but what of the other girls?”

“Escort them to the exit, and make sure they don’t loiter and find any of the old hag’s stuff lying around. It’s almost fashion week, you know how fucking chaotic it gets.”

“Got it, Bakubro.” Kirishima saluted him, about to turn the other way when he immediately stopped. “Even if I’m so not your assistant.”

Smirking, Bakugou crossed his arms and raised one of his eyebrows at Kirishima. In return, Kirishima stared at him unnervingly, and by the looks of it, it seemed like an unspoken conversation was ongoing between the two men.

In the end, Kirishima sighed good-naturedly, putting his hand on Bakugou’s shoulder. “This is why they say you run your assistants dry,” Kirishima quipped, shaking his head at Bakugou before he turned to the side, smiling brightly at Uraraka. “Nice to meet ya, Ms. Uraraka! I’m Kirishima! Play nice, Bakubro!”

With that, he winked at Bakugou and took off.

“That dumbass,” Bakugou muttered, walking out the door and motioning for Uraraka to follow him.

In the silent hallway, Uraraka cleared her throat awkwardly. “Uh, Bakugou-san? Sir?”

He grunted in response.

“I just want to say thank you for choosing me. I know I’m not that pretty as all those other girls, and given that I just came from the province, I probably wouldn’t know what to do but I promise I will do—”

“Tsk.” He clicked his tongue and ran a hand over his hair in frustration. Apparently, this girl has not seen any of his works; when did he ever choose a conventionally pretty model? He, honest to God, never cared for looks; his photographs attest to that fact. “Don’t be fucking daft, I didn’t choose you because you’re pretty.” He paused and turned around, intending to let his words sink in.

At the same time, he also took the chance to look over her form (average height, chopped angled bob cut for her brown hair, functional clothes), which, as he noted beforehand, were nothing out of the ordinary. He gazed at her face, and as he did, he was once again greeted by those fiery eyes—that same look which demanded his attention. There was a fire burning just beyond the surface of her brown irises, as bright and dazzling as the afternoon sun, when her face twisted in irritation. He was pleasantly surprised to see that. But in just a blink of an eye, the look was gone, replaced instead by embarrassment as she averted her gaze away.

Bakugou internally groaned. Dumbass wears her fucking heart on her sleeve. How. Wonderful.

“You’re right, I'm not pretty,” she eventually whispered, quite dejectedly if he must note.

“Listen, it’s because I am not looking for someone pretty—if I were, you wouldn’t be my first choice. And goddamn, are you blind or something? You are pretty.” At that, she jolted in surprise and stared at him, dumbfounded at the sudden compliment. Fuck, even he was shocked at himself. “Not beautiful, just, pretty, urgh, fuck off,” he immediately amended which earned him a giggle.

“Really?” she cheekily replied, and he ignored her in favor of maintaining his cool.

“Here’s the thing, the fact that you’re here means that you thought you’ve got what it fucking takes to succeed in this line of work.” She nodded, opening her mouth, perhaps intending to contradict him but he wasn’t quite finished chiding her. “And goddamn, you do. Don’t waste my time and my fucking trust, which I don’t freely give to just some random extra, if you’re just gonna spout some nonsensical bullshit about your appearance or whatever fucking absurd things you’ve got going inside that head. I’ll say this only once: this industry is not for the bitch ass whiny pissbabies, and if you think you are one of those, then fuck off and don’t return.”

Fucking hell! So much for cool.

He took a deep breath, releasing the tension in his shoulders, before he turned to look at the round-faced newbie whose face’s—wait, what the fuck, are his eyes deceiving him or does she really have the guts to outright laugh at his face?

“What’s so funny, huh?”

Uraraka spluttered, covering her mouth to stifle her giggles but it was for moot. He watched dumbly as she tried to stop her laughter, eyes crinkled with tears flowing down to her rosy cheeks. Frozen still, immobilized by the ringing sound of her carefree laughter in his ears, Bakugou had the sudden urge to reach for his camera and immortalize the breathtaking moment.

“You, Mr. Bakugou, sir! Thank you for your words, as harsh as they may seem, I mean—that was your attempt at bolstering my confidence, right?”

“Fucking—call me Bakugou. Don’t add any ‘sir,’ makes me feel goddamn old.”

“Well, your scowl certainly makes you look like a grump,” she offhandedly commented.

“What?!” he barked. This chick was really testing the limitations of his short fuse, huh?

She immediately jerked upright at the tone of his voice. “Nothing, si—I mean, Bakugou! E-he.”

He exhaled through his nose. “What-the-fuck ever, I’m out of here. Tell that red-headed idiot,” he pointed at Kirishima who’s running to catch up to them, “your contact details. Or don’t, see if I care.”

“Don’t worry, Bakugou,” she called out behind him, “I won’t give in! I'll have you know I'm tough!”

He didn’t doubt her one bit.

[IDOLiSH7] DUSK TiLL DAWN (Story Translation 4)

*Note: This is a Chinese-to-English translation using the official Chinese translation from the TW server! There’s a small chance that some phrases may differ slightly from the original Japanese text due to different wording and localisation, but overall there shouldn’t be too much of a difference so probably nothing to worry too much about xD

CHARACTERS: Iori: Io Yamato: Yamarson Mitsuki: Mick Tamaki: Tamathony Sogo: Somas Nagi: Nagistopher Riku: Rictor

(I will include the characters’ names in brackets even if they haven’t revealed their names yet, because it would just be too confusing otherwise. I recommend having the game story open as you read so you get a better feel of the characters’ actions and expressions, since I won’t be indicating them here ^^)

---

STAGE 4

00:00

Somas: … It’s so quiet…

Tamathony: It looks like there’s already been a chaotic battle here.

Rictor: Even the lab became like this… this is ridiculous…

Tamathony: Don’t let your guard down.

Somas, Rictor: Okay!

Tamathony: This is Sugar here. We’ve arrived at the lab. There are signs of battle here. Over.

Tamathony: This is Sugar here. Please respond if you hear!

Tamathony: Dammit! The radio isn’t working.

Rictor: Ah… This place has cut off all radio waves from outside, so we can’t get in contact with the outside world.

Tamathony: What? Is this for real. Then how do we meet up with them?

Yamarson: Urgh…

Somas: Yamarson…! Are you okay?

Rictor: We’ll get there in a little bit, please hang in there!

Yamarson: … Mm, sorry…

Tamathony: Anyway, we need to quickly continue moving ahead, otherwise things aren’t looking good for him.

Somas: Yes… Don’t know if Io is doing okay.

Tamathony: He has Captain and the others there with him, so there won’t be any problem. Our Captain is super strong! And super cool! Mick is also really agile, and very good at finding the right moment to attack the enemies’ weaknesses.

Somas: You really trust them.

Tamathony: That goes without saying, we’re comrades!

<ROAR>

Somas: Ah! There are Gathereds over there…!

Rictor: Everyone, come this way! Be careful, try not to get found out… Woah…!

<ROAR>

Rictor: Woaahh!

Tamathony: You really fall over a lot. You okay?

Rictor: S-Sorry…! They found me!

Tamathony: That’s alright~ I’m really strong, and su~per smart!

<CLICK>

Tamathony: You guys~! Computers aren’t supposed to be worn on your head!

01:15

Rictor: Huff… Th-This is the place!

Yamarson: Huff, huff…

Tamathony: Oi, it’s not looking good over here!

Rictor: H-How can this be…! The vaccine in the cabinet is gone!

Tamathony: What!?

Yamarson: It… It can’t be…

Somas: How did it end up like this… We went through so much to come this far…

Rictor: Speaking of, when we first arrived, the security system was already deactivated. Someone took the vaccine away!

Yamarson: Urgh…

<THUMP>

Somas: Yamarson! Please hang in there!

Tamathony: H-Hey you, isn’t there some other way! Can’t you make a new vaccine!

Rictor: The knowledge I possess isn’t enough to create one…! I only know that there was originally a vaccine here…

Tamathony: Ah! What about that painkiller from before!

Rictor: That was the last one I had left…

Somas: Didn’t the doctors tell you anything! Like whether or not there’s a spare vaccine or something…!

Rictor: The doctors… Umm~ Uhh~ When faced with difficulty, I have to first clear my head… No, go back to the beginning… I have to go back to the beginning…!

Somas: The beginning?

Rictor: Yes, the doctors often told me… when I’m facing difficulties, I have to return to the roots. I can’t just use my brain to think, I have to be down-to-earth… This way, I can find the answer… down-to-earth*!

Somas: Eh?

Rictor: The ground! It’s the ground!

Somas: The ground? The floor?

Rictor: Yes! Maybe there’ll be some clue on the floor! Is there anything on the floor somewhere…

Yamarson: ….. Urgh.

Tamathony: Oi, hang in there!

Yamarson: Urgh urgh…

Tamathony: Dammit! I’ll keep an eye on him, you guys hurry up and search for a clue…!

Somas: I understand!

Rictor: !? There’s a green rose… G-Got it…! I found it!

<EEEEP>

Somas: S-So cool…! This feels super important!

Tamathony: Hurry up and get the vaccine!

<THUMP>

Yamarson: Urgh, m-my head…!

Tamathony: Th-Things really aren’t looking good! Hurry, hurry!

Rictor: I-I’ll open it now!

<EEEEP>

Rictor: P-Password…!? Why! Uh… I-Is it those two people’s names…?

<BE-BEEEEP>

Rictor: Ah, it’s not right! Why, why!

Somas: Rictor, there’s a number “2” displayed here, does this mean our turns will decrease?

Rictor: Eh! There is! There’s a turn limit!? There are only two turns left… What do we do, I don’t know the password!

<THUMP>

Yamarson: Woaaahhhhh…!

Tamathony: ! Oi, you! Don’t move!

Somas: Yamarson! Rictor! Yamarson can’t hang on much longer!

Rictor: Ah~ Seriously! Uh, lemme think… My name…

<BE-BEEEEP>

Rictor: Wh-What do we do! This isn’t right either…!

Yamarson: —Woah…!

Tamathony: Dammit! What kind of strange energy does he have! Please! Hurry up!

Somas: Tamathony, just a little bit more, please keep him under control for just a bit more!

Tamathony: Argh…!

Rictor: Wh-What do we do…? There’s only one more chance… (I don’t know. What should I do, Doctor…!)

<THUNK>

Rictor: Ah… the magic spell, Clean Air antivirus mask.

Somas: Eh…?

Rictor: Giving it a shot…

Tamathony: Uh, oi! You sure! Isn’t there only one more chance left?

Rictor: Mm, I’m gonna try with this! I believe in the doctors!

<BEEP… BEEP… BEEP…>

<BE-BEEP… CLINK>

Somas: Great…! It’s open! Rictor, the box is open!

Rictor: Huff, huff… great…

Yamarson: Ur… Urgh… Woaaahhhhh…!!

Tamathony: I say, hurry up! Please hurry up—!

Rictor: I-I’m coming! Yamarson, I’m gonna give you the vaccine!!

???: Give the shot…

???: I’m going to make you…

???: … Sorry.

???: Urgh… Urrggghhhhh…!!

<ROAR…!!>

Yamarson: …

Tamathony, Somas, Rictor: …

Yamarson: Urgh… Cough cough…

Rictor: … Yamarson.

Yamarson: I-I’ve been saved, right…?

Somas: This is great…!

Tamathony: Huff~ So tired~~

Yamarson: … Sorry. Thank you guys…

Tamathony: I really thought it was all over before.

Somas: The vaccine took effect very quickly…!

Rictor: It truly is the doctors’ vaccine!

Tamathony: Alright! Then let’s take this vaccine and go join the others!

Somas: Okay!

Rictor: Yamarson, can you move?

Yamarson: Mm, no problem, thank you. (… What was up with that just before…)

<ROAR>

Rictor: Eh! W-What…?

Yamarson: Monsters again!?

Somas: It sounds the same as the one back at the underground subway…

Tamathony: Why is there no end to this! Can’t I get a break!

<ROAR>

Somas: They’re gathering over here!

Yamarson: There are at least five or six…

Tamathony: Oi oi oi… I’m out of battery. I can’t move without pudding drink~

Yamarson: O-Oi! You’re the only one here that knows real combat…

Tamathony: Pudding drink…

Somas: W-Why has he suddenly become like a child…

Rictor: Tamathony! Hang in there…!

<ROAR>

Yamarson: O-Oi! They’re coming…!

Tamathony: I~ can’t do it anymore~

Yamarson: Are you still considered a part of the special forces unit like this!

Tamathony: I was always the brains~ I don’t like moving my body~

Somas: How can this be…

Yamarson: … Hey, let me ask you, is this the only path we can take?

Rictor: Eh, are you asking me? Uh… lemme think…

<ROAR>

Yamarson: Dammit…!

Somas: Yamarson!

<STAB>

Yamarson: I just feel that it’s a bit embarrassing to keep being protected by you guys…!

<THUNK>

Tamathony: Oh~ You’re pretty good, huh.

Yamarson: I didn’t think I’d use what I learned in the boxing hall here…!

Somas: So amazing…!

<ROAR>

Yamarson: I’ll try to go up against them! Please, Rictor, try to think back and remember!

Rictor: … Ah…! There’s a pathway, even though it’s a roundabout way, we can still go around them!

Yamarson: Okay, then we’ll take that path!

Rictor: Okay! This way!

03:45

<BANG>

Rictor: Huff, huff… F-Finally defeated them…

Somas: G-Great… Rictor, you’re getting better and better at using a gun.

Rictor: Io taught me. He suggested that I take a deep breath, and then relax my shoulders.

Somas: So that’s how it is! Io is also really good at teaching people after all.

Rictor: Yes! I must thank Io when I meet him later. Somas, are you used to using a pistol?

Somas: No, I only used it once during training.

Rictor: O-Only once, and you’re already…!?

Yamarson: … I say, we’ve been walking for a while, we haven’t arrived at the exit yet…?

Rictor: Sorry, this path is a little roundabout…

Yamarson: Ah, no, that’s not what I meant…

Tamathony: I say, you’ve completely recovered.

Yamarson: I just want to get out quickly!

Rictor: Ah! We’ll almost be there after that corner!

Somas: Tamathony, let’s hang in there together. Now that Yamarson has recovered, we’re successfully moving towards a happy ending!

<ROAR>

Tamathony: Happy ending, huh~

Yamarson: The sound is getting louder and louder.

Somas: The sound seems to be coming from up ahead…

Rictor: There’s still more here even when we’re so deep inside…

Tamathony: I say~ What’s up ahead?

Rictor: Up ahead is the most important confidential area. Only a small number of people can enter. I haven’t entered before either, so I don’t know what’s inside.

Tamathony: Since you’ve never entered, how do you know we can go back through here?

Rictor: Because the doctors have shown me the floor plan for the lab, saying that it could be useful when necessary…

Yamarson: Even if you’ve seen the floor plan, this facility’s area isn’t small. During the whole journey, you didn’t get lost even once.

Rictor: Yes, I memorized it all in my brain.

Yamarson: …

Rictor: Yamarson?

Yamarson: It’s not that I don’t believe you… but you’re not trying to lure us to some place… right?

Rictor: Ehh!? How could I do something like that! Why would I do that…

Somas: Th-That’s right! He saved your life just before.

Yamarson: … That’s true. Sorry.

Tamathony: By the way, everyone in the W.R.U. is as smart as me! I also have photographic memory **.

Somas: You two are both amazing!

Tamathony: Heh heh! But this actually isn’t a big deal for us~

Yamarson: Rictor, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have suspected you. I couldn’t help but think of things from a negative perspective.

Rictor: It’s fine…

Tamathony: Anyway, we need to quickly get into that confidential area, right?

Rictor: Yes. But I don’t have permission, so I’m not sure if we can get in…

Somas: Maybe the security system here will be deactivated just like before, so we’ll be able to enter.

Rictor: That could be true…

Somas: Let’s go and see.

<ROAR>

Tamathony: Oh~ Oh~! It’s super loud.

Yamarson: I have a bad feeling about this…

Somas: The sound is coming from that door. It feels like we’re finally going to meet the final boss!

Yamarson: The door’s open…? (Why is the security system so conveniently deactivated every time…? Does this commotion have something to do with the people in the lab…?)

Rictor: The rose mark… The doctors’ research room…?

Somas: Rictor?

Rictor: You guys go on ahead!

Tamathony: What?

Rictor: Turn the corner here and keep going straight ahead, and you’ll arrive at a door that will lead to the subway tracks!

Yamarson: What do you mean by asking us to go on ahead first!

Somas: Yeah! Why are you saying this all of a sudden?

Rictor: This place… This door has the mark of the green rose… This is the doctors’ mark.

Tamathony: So what?

Rictor: I didn’t see the doctors in the hospital. But, if… there are any clues here that could lead me to find the doctors, then I want to search. No matter how small the clues are, as long as it’s to do with the doctors… (Please, Doctors, please let me find clues to prove that you guys aren’t related to this commotion…)

Somas: Even if that’s the case, it’s too dangerous for you to go alone! I’ll go, too!

Yamarson: Oi, is this for real… Are you guys being serious!?

Somas: We’ve already come so far together, so we’ll definitely be there until the end! I made a promise with Io that we’d all live on together and move towards a happy ending!

Rictor: Somas…

Tamathony: … True, I also made a promise with Captain. And plus, I haven’t finished analyzing this underground area.

Yamarson: This…

Tamathony: Then what do you want to do, Yamarson?

Yamarson: Wh-What I want to do…? Sigh, seriously, with this current situation, I don’t really have any other choice…

Somas: Then let’s go together! If anything happens, you have to show us your cool knife skills again!

Yamarson: Seriously… I got it. Same with you, show us your gun skills, too. (And also, the sound I heard at that time… I feel like I recognize it… Maybe I can find out something by entering.)

Tamathony: Alright, then let’s quickly enter, and quickly put an end to all this!

Rictor: Guys… Th-Thank you all…!

Somas: We can’t miss a last dungeon*** like this! Right, Yamarson!

Yamarson: … This guy, his head really is a little strange.

Rictor: Then, guys, if you please!

Tamathony: Okay~!

*The second “down-to-earth” is written directly in English, hence the repetition.

**A more accurate and word-for-word translation of what Tamathony says would have been “I, too, can look at something once and not forget it.” I took it as though he meant something like photographic memory, and it makes the sentence sound less awkward, too :)

***This sentence makes no sense in Chinese, either. The most plausible meaning I can come up with is that Somas is referring to the zombies/Gathereds as “copies,” and they’re going to meet the final one? If not, then it might have been an error from when they did the official Japanese-to-Chinese translation. Either way I’ve just gone ahead and translated it as it is because I really don’t know what they’re trying to get at xD If someone knows what Somas says in the Japanese text and has a better translation, please let me know! ^^ EDIT: Thank you to @darkfirefae for providing me with a screenshot of the original Japanese text ^^ The translation “final copy” has been corrected and updated to “last dungeon” instead! (It finally makes sense haha xD)

For anyone who find this at first time.

Please look at my translation's note in Kageie MS #1

:: Kageie MS #12 ::

Yahiko : 「Sis, come here!」

Miu : 「Yesss!」

Mom : 「Next here!」

Miu : 「Just hold on, ok!」

I ran this way, that way...busily engaged so that I've completely forgotten everything that should be worried.

After quite some time, I once again breathe in the atmosphere of my restaurant and the exchange of regular customers.

This...brings me back, smile naturally comes to my face.

Just only one thing that is different from back then...

Kageie : 「......」

It is that...at the corner of the restaurant, there's a figure of someone, relaxing absentmindedly.

Mind you, not that he didn't come to help while the restaurant was packed but he's spending his time all day everyday aimlessly doing nothing.

My mom's lowering her voice and whispers close to my ears.

Mom : 「Miu. Are you sure that you really want to be with that guy? At this rate, you'll have to work your whole life, feeding him for living.」

I can't help but steal a glance to that slackened figure then laugh bitterly.

( My mom has stuck to that idea since firstly met him...... )

It was a few days ago......

That night, after killing those two men at the mansion, we ran out of Echigo and continued searching for a refuge.

After struggling for a long while, we've finally reached my home in Kyoto.

Mom : 「Miu!」

Yahiko : 「Sis!」

Seeing my sudden visit, they're moved to tears and gratefully accept me without asking any question but however...

Kageie : 「......」

When they saw that I was accompanied by an unfriendly guy, they both had sunk into silence although they tried their best not to show it on their faces.

Yahiko : 「......」

Mom : 「......」

Miu : 「Ah...Sorry for late introduction! This is Kakizaki Kageie-san. Well...We work together at Kasugayama castle. Umm...To be honest, we've fallen in love and promised each other a marriage......」

If I tell them the truth of my circumstance, it will only cause them worry. Kageie-san also plays along with my instant lie.

Yahiko : 「Hah~ You'll get married, sis!?」

Mom : 「I see...please excuse me...and make yourself at home.」

Kageie : 「Thanks.」

Frankly said, I still have a little concern towards Kageie-san who doesn't seem to care about anything though.

And sure enough, no matter where Kageie-san is, Kageie-san is always...being Kageie-san.

At the corner of the shop, he really truly makes himself at home.

( To think about it, I really wonder what was Kageie-san thinking the time when I told my family that we're lovers. )

Kageie : 「......」

Then again as usual, I can't predict what's on his mind.

While everything goes on normally as another one fine day, noisy sound was abruptly bursted in the store.

( Hmm? What happened...... )

I stopped my hands from washing the dishes, shifted my attention to the entrance of the shop. There appears a familiar face......

Magistrate : 「Oi! You're really here! Heard you're back~」

( Urgh...It's a familiar face though...but honestly, I never do want to meet him. )

That magistrate always come here and trying to force me to marry him and it's also him, a ringleader who submitted Yahiko as a poison tester.

Magistrate : 「Despite how far you've gone, you've come back here in order to meet me, I really admire you~~」

( And yet, you set up yourself like that! Don't make me laugh! )

Magistrate : 「Really~ You sacrificed yourself and went to Echigo as Yahiko's substitution. You're such a kind heart girl, always thinking of her younger brother~ I like you more and more and more now!」

Repulsive smile rapidly moving in my way, closer and closer. Very disgusted, I feel sick in the stomach.

Magistrate : 「You're charming as ever~」

Miu : 「Stop i...」

Magistrate : 「Pugya!!」

I'm about to avoid that extended hands but magistrate suddenly fell over, making quite a show.

Kageie : 「......Weird voice.」

It was when Kageie-san stretched his leg out, magistrate was rolling flashy on the floor. After he got up, he's yelling angrily, his face is bright red.

Magistrate : 「Oi. I'm bleeding! Why did you do that!」

Kageie : 「Sorry. Sorry. My bad. I'll apply medicine for you. Stay still.」

Magistrate : 「M...Medicine......?」

Kageie-san lightly dodged magistrate's frustration, leaving no room for interjection and skillfully give him a medical treatment.

Kageie : 「There you are, all done...let me escort you.」

Magistrate : 「Your skill looks remarkable. Who are you anyway......」

Kageie : 「Don't worry about it.」

Kageie-san smacks on magistrate's shoulders then smoothly takes him out of the shop.

My mom was being dumbfounded with what's just happened.

Mom : 「Wow. He's amazing......」

Yahiko : 「I thought he's just a common ronin but isn't he really cool.」

Mom : 「......Even so...a guy who can't earn himself a living isn't good.」

After thinking for a while, my mom still insisted on her strict opinion.

Kageie leads magistrate along to the deserted alleyway then immediately shoves him hard and declares sharply, threatening.

Kageie : 「Don't get close to that restaurant ever again.」

Magistrate : 「W...Why I need to listen...」

Kageie : 「Any problem?」

Kageie gave magistrate his cold glare then puts his thumb on the sword's guard.

Magistrate : 「W...What do you think you're doing......tsu」

Kageie : 「Doing nothing......only if you will say 『yes』.」

Magistrate : 「......Y...e...s...」

Kageie was truly satisfied, hearing shiver in magistrate's voice, he then left that alleyway behind.

After sunset, I've managed to close the shop and go back to my own room.

While folding the laundry, my mom's word suddenly comes to mind.

( She really does not approve Kageie-san. )

( Well, because she's never seen Kageie-san's swordmanship and when he's working at the castle so it's only natural that my mom holds him in low regard. )

Me too...I was perplexed by those unknown knowledges before too...but now......

Miu : 「...I wonder why...have to be...Kageie-san......」

While wondering, everything that has happened until now repeating itself again and again in my head.

A guy who's normally expressionless, has already shown me so many faces.

Kageie : 「What about me?」

Miu : 「 !! 」

( I'm startled......since when he entered the room...... )

Kageie-san's sitting crossed-leg nearby, peering into my eyes, exploring me.

Miu : 「Umm......Well...I...I'm folding the laundry.」

I can't stand his gaze so averted my eyes downward, pushing the laundry out in his direction to draw his attention.

Just then, I've noticed that Kageie-san's kimono's hem a little bit dirty.

Miu : 「......Did you perhaps do something to that magistrate?」

Kageie : 「......」

I asked while gently sweeping the dust off of his kimono's hem but Kageie-san replies me with his silence.

( He didn't deny it, so yes...that is what happened. )

Miu : 「Kageie-san...Why must you draw unlucky number like this?」

Kageie : 「......」

Miu : 「Have you done this for a long time? Drawing all unlucky numbers out on your own...for the sake of someone else?」

Kageie : 「Umm.」

I was surprised with his direct reply but the following detail is what unexpected.

Kageie : 「For my younger brother.」

Miu : 「Eh? Younger brother?」

Kageie : 「And now...only for you.」

His anguished voice resounded spicy and sweet.

If I will let myself staring at that unusual sweet-looking eyes, my heart must be squeezed to its limit.

It's suffocating but precious...then again very painful.

Several months since I've entered Kasugayama castle, someone who was always there besides me no matter what or when is Kageie-san.

( Once we met, damage has been done. It's all too late to turn back now. )

I let myself indulge in this moment, following my heart's desires, putting together all my emotions into words.

Miu : 「Me too. Only for Kageie-san.」

Kageie : 「You got so many, don't you. Family, Tsugutsugu, Yocchan......」

Miu : 「Only Kageie-san! Everyone else is...different.」

Suddenly, he draws near.

Kageie : 「.........Hah.」

Once I realized, I was hugged closely to his chest.

( Eh...... )

Caught by unexpected move, I'm stiffening in his arms.

I can hear his heartbeats.......He's alive......and that's the greatest sense of relief to me.

No more hesitation, I cling back onto his chest.

Kageie : 「......」

I raise my face, take a glance at his expression but my heart aches dully.

Miu : 「......tsu」

Such a grievous look...anguished shadow has clouded the light in his eyes.

It was a face of a man who's already resolve on something yet given up on everything.

It was one penetrating cold morning...

I was awakened by coldness, rolling myself into a ball on my own bedding.

Day's breaking at the other side of shoji door, just then I heard hidden sound of footsteps.

( Kageie-san...went out again. )

Door's slided open, immediately followed by a shivering body.

Kageie-san then gets into my bedding.

Kageie : 「......Cold......」

I was embraced. Coldness of the night air coiling around his body's piercing through to me.

Miu : 「Kageie-san......?」

Kageie : 「......」

As soon as he breathes a sigh close to my ears, he separated himself from me, leaving cold air inside the bedding touching my body instead. He's getting up and be about to leave.

( Ah...... )

He will leave me......

Instinctively, my body started to move on its own accord. I hug him from behind and hold him close, wishing I could keep him with me.

Kageie-san didn't shake me off, he just murmured something quietly.

Kageie : 「......Forget it. All of it.」

His word leaves dull pain in my heart.

I won't give up. My arms still wrap around his body tightly.

Miu : 「Why I have to forget it?」

That exact moment I ask him a reason, he turns around and forcibly pins me down on the bedding then violently removes my nightcloth. His body weight pressed on top of me is undaunted.

The terror that I was pinned down by those guys at the mansion that night suddenly comes back to life.

Miu : 「......tsu!」

I'm trembling with fear, using all my strength thrusting him away.

Miu : 「Ah......」

Kageie : 「......」

Kageie-san doesn't say anything. There is neither surprise nor sadness.

In those eyes, I only saw kindness and resignation.

Miu : 「Don't tell me......Kageie-san did that on purpose to make me reject you?」

Kageie : 「......」

Miu : 「Why...Why you have to go that far......」

Kageie : 「When Norikage...my brother died, I then wanna end up my life.」

( Eh...his brother......? )

Kageie : 「It's unbearable that much...so......」

From his hoarse voice, his sorrow that never been healed was transmitted to me.

Miu : 「So......?」

Kageie : 「......If I die......you may have to go to that extent.」

Miu : 「......tsu」

( So he knew my feeling all along, that's why in that time he made that expression......? )

( What...... )

( What you said...... )

It's too much for me to endure...I embrace myself...

( If you die.......why...... )

I try searching for words, any word that I could say to make him stay but it's just...nothing...

( Even if I don't understand what's his intention, just be able to be by his side is...all I ever asked for. )

( And yet, if he has to go somewhere...I can't follow. )

Miu : 「Please...Please...I beg of you. Don't be rash. Absolutely don't......」

If I really can't stop him...at least...let my words be a prayer.

Kageie : 「Yahiko.」

Miu : 「......」

Kageie : 「If such thing as I'm able to get back alive happened......Your real name...tell me that time then.」

Miu : 「...............Yes......」

Kageie : 「......Umm.」

He then shows me his smile, a smile which I never seen before until this very second, a smile overflows with kindness and affection that has taken all my breath away.

He kissed my forehead, cast off my arms then risen up to his feet.

Miu : 「......tsu......」

Kageie-san left and never once look back...not even a sound of his footsteps was heard.

Miu : 「......No......」

( If such thing as I'm able to get back alive happened.........? )

That person...who never has any attachment to life...Is there really a chance I could meet him once again.........

Miu : 「......tsu...u...u......」

I break into tears, holding my hands against my cheeks, feeling hot tears flowing.

Endless flood of tears mercilessly soaking through my hands...hands that couldn't grab hold of Kageie-san.

Kageie : 「......」

With no hesitation, a figure fastly dashes through the street in the light of dawn...however, there's still one shadow, fixing eyes on that figure, concealing and following behind.

Hotaru : 「......」

Amazing Quest 1: Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Heart of a Pudding

(You find yourself exactly where Chapter 6 left off, with Kord mumbling to himself about his incompetent peers)

Hiro: So, are we cool, or....

Kord: Oh, yeah, man, we're the best of buds!

(Kord gives him a slap on the back that sends him flying)

Kord: Oh, uh....HAHA! TAKE THAT!

(He does the same to the rest of the party)

Kord: Ha! No one's the wiser! Kord, my man, you are one smooth operator!

You land nearby a gigantic looming tower with a unique sprite and a large city. Welcome to Gemadne, and ironically, this is only about 2 screens northeast of where you were! Yeah, you could've walked here in five minutes, even if you factored in the random encounters.

--Gemadne, the City of the Dark Puddings--

This place is gloomy and not at all enheartening. The locals mention how the winters are cold, and that food is stale and tasteless, being grown on the irradiated plains nearby. If you talk to an elderly man in the pub, he mentions how in ancient times, a battle between two goddesses warped the land and caused their current misfortune, but considering this is next to a clown doing a juggling act who yells “KATZU BICYCLE SOUP!”, you can take that for what it's worth. However, you need to go to the large dome on the northeast side.

(Man in a robe): Hey, you guys are new....and that scar! You must be the ones.

Hiro: Are you going to fight us?

Man: Naw. I'm on your side. Kind of. You can call me House Man (No, seriously. This is his name in Japanese as well. His name was translated into German as Hausen Mensch, and, the series director liked it so much, she kept that as his name. And now that I've sufficiently raised the blood pressure of veteran AQ players...) So, you want to challenge Zoddon? He's tough and wise, but you can do it. However, I'd recommend going in here first. You'll need this, though (He hands Hiro the PAPER)

Hiro: Is this just a piece of paper?

House Man: NO! It's PAPER

Hiro: Ooooooh.

In any case, head over to the door, where a guard awaits us. With the PAPER, we can now pass, lest the guard turn us away for being unqualified.

Guard: Papers, please.

Hiro: (Presents PAPER)

Guard: Ooh, nice!

Hiro: Eh?

(Hiro looks at the PAPER, and realized there's a picture of a woman's butt on the other side)

Moore: Nice!

Loyroll: Eeeeeh.

Hiro: I...I'll be going now.

Welcome to the Pudding Shrine

--Pudding Shrine--

This area is a stark marble building, with robed monks and nuns slowly processing through. Don't attack them (You get the option if you talk to them), as they do nothing but pray as you hack them down, and really, it's not worth it, as they give pittances of gold and exp. Continue on, and you'll see various portraits of apparently famous people, and on the west side, you can see a trio of large statues, one of Zoddon, one of Jaydea, and the third being a woman whose face is cracked and marred, making it unrecognizable. On the east side, you find a giant slab titled the “Wall of Memory, and all the Dark Puddings you killed are marked here. However, as soon as you stop reading it...

Armored man with flared eyebrows: Impressive, is it not?

Armored woman with a flash of white in her green hair: The Light Pudding, so weak with his P-Centage, and yet he has bested five of our siblings.

Man: PRAETORIAN LAA

Woman: PRAETORIAN TII

Laa: These halls, where the ghosts of our comrades cry out, is a fitting locale for our duel. Now, draw your weapon. You must answer to your ancestors!

Tii: Say your prayers to the finest of Zoddon's Praetorians, Light Pudding!

Hiro: Who are you guys again?

Laa: LET US DO RIGHTEOUS BATTLE!

Hiro: Seriously! Did you listen?

Kimyawa: Hiro-nii-chan, they just introduced themse--

Tii: AAAAARGH!

Loyroll: Let it go, sis

Hiro: HIYAAAAAAAAH!

Kimyawa: S-sumimasen...

--Boss Fight!--

Praetorian Laa x1

Praetorian Tii x1

Laa

LP: 36000

MP: 3500

Tii

LP: 36000

MP: 3500

You're probably thinking, “Oh, these two won't be so hard. None of the other Praetorians were that hard. HAHAHAHAHA....HA. No. These guys don't let up. Laa begins the fight by “Flaring up a Storm,” and then casting 'Storm Shield, that cuts all physical damage by half. This includes Pudding Forms. Tii, on the other hand, will begin by engaging her Pudding Form, and attacking with “Frozen Custard Tart” which inflicts water damage and also has a good chance of Depression. As if this weren't bad enough, when you defeat one, the other will “Steel their brow” and then being to use “Pudding Braver,” a move that hits all party members for large water and air damage. Press on, and you can do it!

--Boss Fight!--

Laa: Urgh, e-even with our combined power....

Tii: I'm s-sorry, my siblings....

Laa and Tii: (Explodes)

Hiro: Just like the others, they all are willing to sacrifice themselves for Zoddon's ambition. C'mon! We need to stop him.

Ozma: YEAH!

Kimyawa: HAI!

Loyroll: Hear, hear!

Mancala: Yeah, whatever!

Deima: C'mon, then!

Hiro: YEAH, I...

(Hiro hears a squeaky noise he hasn't heard since--)

Hiro: WAIT!

You then have to search around for the noise, and cannot leave as Hiro cites “This is super important,” the source of the noise is the upper right corner of the room. Inspecting it now will open a hidden door. Go down the stairs to enter a caged room where someone we haven't seen in over thirty hours now is sitting.

Hiro: EMILIA! YOU'RE ALIVE?!

Emilia: Oh, hey, I thought you were the guard. They gave me tacos last night, and YECH, my bucket needs to be changed.

Hiro: I WAS SO WORRIED, AND—Oooh, urgh, yeah, you're right.

Emilia: Sorry. Who are all these people?

Hiro: These are my friends! We're here to save you and stop the Dark Puddings!

Emilia: Stop them? You?

(A clanking noise begins as a feminine robot appears)

Robot: YES, HOW AMUSING, STOPPING THE DARK PUDDINGS. TIME FOR YOUR DAILY MEAL AND BATH, EMILIA, AND FOR ME TO TAKE OUT THE RUBBISH!

--Boss Fight!--

Nannydroid x1

LP: 43000

MP: 4500

After the Praetorians, this is nothing, She's fond of “Hell Duster” a hit-all earth based move, and “Take out the Trash,” a move which can instantly kill one party member while inflicting Drunk on another, both of which are randomly selected, but she isn't too tough.

--Boss Fight!--

Emilia: Anyways, You...You came for me. I thought you were going to curl up into a ball and Ladd or Lady would come, but you...I'm proud of you, bro! And, you also got yourself some nice friends.

(Turns to the party) Look, I see where you all are coming from, but he's emotional and naive. If ANY of you break his heart...No monster, devil or sealed ancient death goddess will stop me from tracking you down. GOT IT?

Party: ….

Nannydroid: M-must take out trash. Executing final cleansing routine

(She explodes, vaporizing the entire building, leaving the party in the rubble of Emilia's cell, with Emilia huddled behind a wall.)

You then can talk to her, where in Japanese, she'll complain of a draft. In the Localized version, she yells at you for not having stopped the Nannydroid from self-destructing. You see, the blast very clearly blew Emilia's pants off, even in the Localized version.

Emilia: Goddammit! Hiro! You can't leave me like this!

Hiro: I'M SORRY!

Emilia: I'm staying RIGHT HERE until you fix this!

Now, the trick to rescuing her, and making her playable is not what you'd imagine. The canny among you would scour the globe for “Pants” armors or items. The amusing thing is, the solution is right in front of you. You know, how you pay Loyroll to use better swords? Well, if you get to his tenth sword, the Plasmium Blade, you get the option of upgrading again. If you do so, he'll upgrade to Emilia's Saber, that energy saber Emilia used in the opening fight. How Loyroll came across this, we'll never know. However, if Loyroll has it, and you talk to Emilia...

Emilia: Oh, hey, one of your girlfriends has my sword, give it here!

Loyroll: My dear lady, I'm a ma--

Emilia: Yeah, sure, whatever, toots (Steals the sword out of Loyroll's hands) I'm pretty sure I've kissed girls more manly than you.

Hiro: Wait, WHAT?

Emilia: What happens in Girl Pudding Summer camp STAYS in Girl Pudding Summer Camp!

And with that, Emilia leaves her wall, and joins the party! Yes, she wasn't complaining about her lack of pants, but her lack of a weapon. Go fig. Anyways, you now can explore the ruins of the Pudding Shrine, where if you go near where the three statues were, the one with the broken face is still mysteriously intact. Go behind it, to go down a hidden flight of stairs, where you'll find a blue-haired woman in a robe.

Woman: Halt? Who dares challenge the wielder of the power of....Emilia? Hiro?

Emilia: Wait, MOM?

Hiro: I...I thought you died?

Mom: No, I was taken here by those damnable brats years ago. However, they couldn't kill me. So, they locked me up here! However, I can see it in your eyes. Your quest of vengeance! Very well, if you wish to wield my power, you must battle me!

Emilia: Hiro! This is it! We must fight as one!

Hiro: R-right?

--Boss Fight!--

Saint Cocoa x1

LP: 50000

MP: 6000

You only get Emilia and Hiro for this fight, but that's all you need, if you're smart. If you proceed with brute force, you'll get destroyed, as Cocoa will engage her Pudding Form, and more or less go Super Saiyan. She'll blast you with “Pudding Stream” a powerful magic attack that ignores magic defense, and “Rich Flavor” which will raise all her stats based on the last digit of your gold. Yes, YOUR amount of money powers up Cocoa. When she gets down to half health, she'll begin abusing “Cut your teeth,” a move where she randomly punches the party ten times for physical damage. This can be dangerous, especially if she focuses on Hiro. However, if you are strategic, and abuse Emilia's Steam Breath in her Pease Pudding form, you can win!

--Boss Fight!--

Mom: Emilia, Hiro. I-I'm so glad I could see you before I pass on...You are both members of the Royal Pudding Line, and within you is the power of [Golden Choco Majesty]. Realize it within yourselves, and it will be you's! Now, with that, farewell...

(Mom collapses, dead)

House Man: (Claps) Excellent! I knew you could do it! Now, you can fight Zoddon on even terms!

Hiro: Uh, thanks?

You can now proceed to Gemadne Keep. Well, you could do so before, perhaps advisable, to acquaint yourself with Emilia's skill set, but you would be hard pressed to be able to beat Zoddon as you were.

--Gemadne Keep--

This gigantic fortress is just as gloomy as the town it stands before, with “Dark Pudding Veterans, Dark Pudding Survivors, and Dark Pudding Centurions,” all as common enemies. Funnily enough, the GBA version retains an amusing programming error, where a certain corner of the third floor has a tile which always queues up a battle with three Veterans and a single Dark Pudding Rookie, the kind that you'd fight in Ddimopint, way back in the first section of the game. The fans loved him so much, he shows up as an Easter egg in various places in later AQ remakes, known as Dark Survivor Zechs.

Returning to important matters, the trick of Gemadne Keep is the elevators, as each goes to only certain floors and you need to find the right ones to proceed. Basically, my best advice is to go left to right as far as you can, and those elevators will be the ones you need to use to proceed. When you get to a single large room, you're where you need to be.

Zoddon: (Sitting in a large throne) Light Pudding. You arrived. I am genuinely impressed. You have a cut a path through my subordinates for your own ambition. However! Your burning passion and my own can not coexist in this world! Whose will be doused?

Emilia: OH MY LULZ! SHUT UP, ZODDON!

Zoddon: Hm? And the Sword God has been freed? You are a truly implacable man. Very Well! Steel Yourself, Light Pudding!

--Boss Fight!--

Dark Pudding Lord Zoddon x1

LP: 75000

MP: 5500

Zoddon, is, understandably, the hardest boss up to this point, as his LP count might indicate here. He will engage his “Noble Pistachio Pudding Form,” and then begin his assault. He is fond of using 'Burning Ambition,” a move which inflicts heavy fire damage on one target, and “Towering Presence,” an earth move which deals heavy damage to one target and deals splash damage to adjacent party members. He also rarely will raise his sword. Be wary, as his next action will be the devastating “Pudding Grande Destroy” or in Japanese “Boddhisattva Pudding Ignorance Cleaver,” which deals a huge amount of Light-based damage. My best advice is to use Emilia's “GET BACK” action, which causes all non-Puddings to flee, which might seem bizarre until you see what the Golden Choco Swirl does. It is an androgynous, golden figure with glowing aura and flashing eyes. It screams in an auto-tuned voice with each attack, and has a chance of doing either “Pudding Slice,” a single physical move, “Golden Slam,” a powerful light elemented magic attack, or “Golden Aura Slice,” a physical move which hits all enemies and induces Depression. If you can land one of thees, then you'll most likely be pleasantly surprised to see it shave off 9999 damage off of Zoddon.

“Great,” I hear you say,” Why don't I use this swirl all the time?” because this form is berserk. You can't chose who you hit, and many times, Hiro will take his time blowing away his own friends, drunk on the massive influx of power the fusion with his sister provides.

So, yeah, now you see why I don't recommend doing this fight with everyone around.

--Boss Fight!--

Zoddon: (Clutches his bleeding chest) I...I see. Your will is stronger. Listen to this man's final words, Light Pudding. Light, Dark. These aren't Good or Evil. Nor are they families. They are your Will. Go now, Go with my sister, and forge a world where Puddings rule. We have been trampled countless times in the past, and yet we are the strongest clan on the planet. Your mother aided us, once. We worked together to build this place and free others from the Golden Tribe. With you and Emilia, now, we could wipe away all the chaos and produce a world free of strife. Be that man....

(Zoddon collapses)

Emilia: Goodbye, Zoddon.

Ozma: Is this it? Did we win?

(Jaydea runs in, a look of pure shock on her face)

Jaydea: ZODDON! ZODDON! ANSWER ME! THEY....They killed you!

Hiro: Give it up, Jaydea! Your brother wanted us to work together! Listen to his request! You can't win!

Jaydea: Oh? Do you know what I need to unlock the Goddess?

Emilia: The blood of a Royal Pudding and the Five Talismans, right?

Hiro: And we have three of them!

Jaydea: Hehehehe, correct. And, well, you're wrong, too. Y'see...Do you remember when I let you borrow my razor?

Emilia: Yeah, I cut my le—Oooooh, you bitch....

Jaydea: Yup! And on top of that? Remember that one weekend at Girl Pudding Summer Camp?

Emilia: You bitch, you promised we'd never speak about tha--

Jaydea: (Produces a walkman with a microphone) “I'm lonely. I miss my little brother, and I'm cold, could I sleep with YOU?” Do you want me to continue? If so, I can. If not, give me the Talismans.

(Emilia, face beet red, rummages in her backpack, producing the Talismans as the Party can only look on in shock)

Jaydea: Thank you! (Warps away)

Hiro: (In a squeaky voice) Sister....WHY???

Kimyawa: BAKA BAKA BAKA! WE'RE ALL DEAD NOW!

Mancala: I wonder if I can get a coffin sale going?

Deima: Relax, we can still win! It takes a while to unlock Halst, and she needs to GET to the seal first!

Hiro: Where IS that?

Deima: The Tower of Zyrtroph, the Flying Dragonfish.

(You might have seen a giant floating...thing out in the middle of the ocean. THAT is where the seal is. However, we're going to ignore that in Chapter 8 as we do a roundup of ALL the remaining side missions and fetch quests available.! See you then!)

Tower of God S2ch271 Rough Translations

Hey! Sorry for missing a chapter last week. I was out of the country and forgot to set up my queue -_-

This week’s as well as next week’s would be queued posts too so if there are any changes between the preview and the official, they won’t be reflected in them. Thanks!

...Welcome. Travelling warriors of the Tower. // I am an/the administrator of the Hidden Floor, "Big Breeder" "Chung" [T/N: Big Breeder is the title; Chung is the name]

I have come to give you the Grand Quest

for successfully getting rid of all the evil energy in this place.

So shall we proceed with the Grand Quest // after you have a short break?

Go sing a song to help relax the minds and bodies

of our warriors over here, jesters!

(Sing! Sing! Sing!)

Urgh-!!

They have protected~ this beautiful village~ // by getting rid of that giant octopus~

(Ah~)

They are the true warriors of this place~

(Ah~)

............

Oh great~ // warrioors~

(Aaah~ ♪)

I feel more tired..

??F Hell Train - Hidden Floor - 08

Hey, // do we really have to go one after another while escaping?

Won't it take us about three (and a half) hours if we keep this up?! // We could already be there if we just use BongBong.

............. // We can't do that.

Ever since I came here, I have experienced death with them several times. // Even if it's a bit slow, I want to escape with all of them.

I don't want to become someone who just throws their friends away! [T/N: regular YHS is so pure ;;;]

(Huhu-!!)

...He was nicer when he was younger..

(So what happened to him..)

(How is it)

(Do you see any soldiers)

.....I don't know..

Hm? // What's that all of a sudden?!

This tremor..!!

Could it be they've already..?!

Th..ey have.. alrea..dy..!!

Big.. Bree..der..!!

It's Big Breeder..!!

What?! Already!?

That was too fast!!

Yu Han Sung-ssi, Big Breeder came out?!

..What do we do now?

...........

We..'ll go.. ahe..ad first..

What?!

As.. that g..irl said, ..if it..'s jus..t us // we c..ould get.. out of.. h..ere much.. faster.

W..e co..uld first.. esca..pe and ..stop th..em fro..m cle..aring ..the G..rand Quest. // Eve..ryon..e c..an liv..e if ..we ta..ke ca..re of.. Big.. Bree..der.

Go. I also know the way out. // We believe in you.

Bon-ssi..

But if we escape and fail to stop Big Breeder..!!

I know. We'll be trapped here until the next time.

But isn't it better to chose the option that doesn't have a high chance of everyone dying?

We have been abandoned by Big Breeder anyway. // The only one we believe in in this world is you.

That's right, Yu Han Sung-ssi!! // We believe in you!!

Please stop Big Breeder together with Batis-nim!!

Everyone..

............

I understand. We will go first.

I thought about it.. if it's just us, we could use a different route.

A different route?!

It's too dangerous for normal people.. We have to hurry. // Or else, we'll all die if the people outside clear the Grand Quest.

Then let's go!!

We'll also keep on moving forward!! // Let's believe in Batis-nim and the others!!

Yeah!! Let's go!!

We've died a number of times already anyway!!

There's nothing to fear!!

glint-

1 hour after- // Bard's Village

Hmm.. Then- // how about we get started?

This is your-

"Grand Quest".

If you clear this, the forbidden fruit will be dragged into the abyss

and you can move on to the next stage.

I'll open the scroll now.

...Wait. // I want to ask you something before we do that.

Yes?

Can you.. tell us where the data of the "young King Zahard" is?

.........

By Zahard.. do you mean the King of the Tower?

That's right.

His data is certainly in here....

But I do not know where he is. // He came in here before I even existed..

If you want to meet him, you'll have to find him yourself.

........Ah, is that so?

(Data of Zahard?)

...That guy // That look he gave just now..

seems like he's hiding something..

Then, let's move on with the Grand Quest.

He knows where the data of Young Zahard is.

The "champion villain" that will be your opponent this time-

is the "Mama Long-Tailed Tit" [T/N: so... tempted... to call it.... Mama Tit..... SIU why]

Eh..? // Long-tailed tit..?!

Chiiirrp!!

Hm..?

Wh-what the!! What's that little thing?!

Chiiiiiirrp-!!

This bird is the "champion villain"!?

It looks weak..

Chief.. the long-tailed tit // is a bird from the D-rank quest.

Why did such a low level villain appear?

............

Big Breeder-nim.. what are you thinking..

The "Mama Long-Tailed Tit" is the champion villain of the long-tailed tits. // It is very weak. You could say it's the weakest among them?

It is very defensive of the eggs on its head that it protects, so you shouldn't attack there first. // Although its maternal love is strong, its skills are terrible.

What..?! So you mean you intentionally summoned a weak villain for us?

That is correct. // Actually, I accidentally bumped the difficulty level of your previous quest.

This is a place to welcome and prepare those who have cleared the Hell Train // not a place of a harassment.

It is our little gift to you.

Actually.. // it's so that you can clear

this stage a bit faster

I want to see you kill your friends that are inside the "forbidden fruit"-

How great. As expected of Big Breeder-nim!!

................

What will we do, Koon? // ..Wanna attack it first?

...Wait!!

It could be a trap!! // Even the octopus before was stronger than it looked.

You're too cautious, blue turtle!!

Shut up, gator.

What.. is this uneasy feeling..

That guy.. // is he hiding something..?

..What is this?

Is this the "different route".. // that you were talking about?

....Yes. Like I said, this is impossible for normal humans.

The quarantine area is composed of four large shelters and each shelter has their own exit.

That's why reaching the final exit takes a long time because you'll have to go back and forth many times. // But when you think about it, the quarantine area is spherical. And all the exits lead to its bottom.

If you can accurately figure out the drop points

You can pass through each shelter at the shortest distance.

Of course, you'll have to fight off the soldiers that will crowd at the explosion and then land at the right spot.

But if it's just us, we can do it.

No, maybe it's the easier way.

Although it's a bit dangerous!! // But it's the only way now!!

Oi!!

You'll get lost if you don't follow me carefully!! So watch out!!

..Should we trust him?

....There's no other way. // Let's go.

Shit!!

I hope-

those outside won't take on the Grand Quest yet..!!

30 min later-

Chiiiirrp!!

..Maybe it's better to attack.. Koon? // We haven't touched it for a long time already.

Just wait a bit longer. // I don't feel good about this.

Feeling, feeling!! You keep on saying that!! Let's just attack it already!! // This is like the Floor of Tests all over again!!

Shut up, gator!!

Somehow.. I feel // that this is a trap..!!

Big Breeder is definitely hiding something from us.. So..!!

That bird is hiding a tremendous power!!

chirp?!

...So that blue hair.. is "that kind" of person..

(Look!! She's taken aback!! She's flustered because she was planning to betray us!!)

(What do you mean she's flustered!! She's just surprised!!)

(A dragon will definitely come out of it once we attack it!!)

He can solve difficult problems well // but he takes a long time solving easy problems..

....If I knew..

(Tch...)

I would've summoned a stronger villain.

(Don't let your guard down, everyone!! She's waiting for us to attack first!!)

(Arrgh!! You're so frustrating!!)

(

(I'm going to fking die from frustratioooon!!)

Well, it won't change anything even if it's a bit late..

(chiirrp!)

They can take their time completing this quest-

Since those guys will never be able to open that door anyway-

Follow me!! We're almost there!!

Is that.. the exit?

Yes. It's the only exit that is connected to the outside. // Surprisingly, there are no traps and and no soldiers on the other side.

But there's no way to open it.

I've broken through all the traps coming here- // But when I saw that door with an empty window that you can't input any password in, I realized

Aah. From the very start, Big Breeder had no intention of letting us escape from here. The reason he made this complex maze,

and have us run around and die many times looking for the exit // was simply to mock us.

I suffered a lot just to get to this exit // but I couldn't actually get out~ I mean

What the heck!!

So I waited for you. // I know you have to power to bring down those people.

..............

If it's you..

you can easily open it.

Go on.

A door that you can never pass.

If Big Breeder is Young Zahard's underling.. then if I use..

..this power, then perhaps..

Shinwonryu!!

....!! // It... o..pened!!

What, isn't that too easy!?

(I'm a bit disappointed.)

W..e..couldn't... open.. it.

I knew it..!!

This person is him!!

..It'..s open?

V-ssi..!!

Big Breeder-nim!!

(Where are you going!!)

(Aaaarrrgghhh!!)

(..........)

Big Breeder-nim!! It's an emergency!!

...?

Those guys in the quarantine area....!! The.. the exit..!!

They broke the exit and escaped!!

(What..!?)

This place..

It's outside the quarantine area!!

Finally..!! We finally succeeded in escaping, Batis-nim!!

...Y..eah..

Could you look at this? Rose.

I wrote the lyrics to that song I composed the other day.

It's not yet finished but..

This..

is a really beautiful song.

It's a song of praise!!

To the great Big Breeder-nim!!

Batis-nim?

.........

Let's go.

Harry Potter giving feels to the faculty

I imagine Harry to have a natural predisposition for one of the arts. Singing or drawing or photography or writing, but preferably singing because that's how I got the idea.

I imagine it being a trait that he got from Lily's side of the family, his grandfather, maybe? Lily's family should be this kind of family where they share songs...

Can you picture Lupin humming in his office without noticing it, out of pure automatism, during one of Harry's patronus lessons, while he recuperates from yet another failure.

And Harry hears it and he thinks he recognises it and it makes him feel very, very sad all of a sudden. So he asks Lupin what the song is, and Lupin jerks up a bit because he hadn't realised he'd been singing, so he asks "what was I singing" and Harry somewhat reproduces it awkwardly, and then Lupin is like "That's a thing Lily used to hum a lot during our seventh year with the stress of Newts. I think it's a thing her father used to sing to her when she was a child and she had nightmares, to calm her down. The title was... Flowers on the Pond? I swear her whole family was obsessed with flowers, haha..."

And then he stops laughing because he's back to the present again and Harry's crying silently and trying not to show it.

What if that's how it starts with Lupin telling him about his family? About his father and their friends, but also about Lily, because people seem to always forget her when they talk to Harry. He wants to know something about her beyond “... but you have your mother’s eyes”.

So Harry looks for that song and learns to hum it (the lyrics will come later) and then Snape passes him in the halls or something? And then just... next class first thing Snape can't look at him and just snaps at him for detention, but then Harry is cleaning cauldrons and there is m o r e humming…

And you know, it's a muggle song, since it’s something Mr Evans sung to his daughters before he learned one of them was a witch. But Harry has been humming it and slowly gryffindor picks it up, but just a couple of notes and the chorus, and just the melody. And after that, the rest of the school picks it up too, even a couple slytherins, although they hate realising that 1) fluff this is Potter's song and 2) how undignified is it that I can't help automatic humming damn and 3) wait f L U F F is it a muggle song? urgh.

And Snape is in constant emotional pain because everywhere he goes there are children humming Lily's song and each feel like a stab between his ribs, right where his heart used to be; but Harry is the only one to actually learn the lyrics? Hermione picks up a couple of them because of her awesome memory.

At some point, Harry starts using the song in his head for the patronus, because it's not especially happy, but it is safe and family and love, and a song cannot be ripped from him. It's not happy, but it's powerful and everywhere in him, and when he finally gets his corporeal patronus, it's not a buck like Prongs, it's a young foal just before adolescence because that's as close as he can get to both of his parents and not because some part of him wishes he’d never grown up and could have stayed with them. And if one thing has been proven, it's that love, of any kind, has the biggest impact on the form of patroni.

So you have a whole magical school singing that one muggle song. Also at one point, he’s humming it again at the table (maybe for Halloween as a requiem or at Christmas to celebrate love and family), and a friend sitting close, maybe Neville, asks him in the great hall to sing it proper. So he starts very low, because our child is shy and hates being in the spotlight, so that only Neville can hear; but then others still do and they stop talking to listen. Harry gets lost in it (tested and approved by me, you can get lost in singing especially if it's an emotionally heavy song), and he gets a bit louder with time so that he doesn't realise that the great hall is getting increasingly silent and everyone is looking at him, even if for half of the slytherins it is filled with a sort of forced contempt. The other half is grudgingly curious because damn, the kid can sing.

Snape gets up and flees the room in the middle of the second verse because he can't take it and the noise in the hall has decreased so much he can't focus on that to drown the song out. So he just runs away.

And for once Dumbledore has shiny eyes but you can't tell if he's twinkling like crazy or just crying

Also Minerva's not crying you're crying.

And since I'm a lazy ass child, I've decided to just get a translation of the french song I thought about while brainstorming this with the fabulous @snowyashcat and to just replace the first line with "flowers on the pond" and whoop:

Flowers on the pond,

Blooming, blooming,

Flowers on the pond,

It's the end of Summer,

The autumn leaf, carried by the wind,

In a monotone round, falls swirling

Chesnuts in the woods,

Crack, Crack,

Chesnuts in the woods,

Crack under steps

The autumn leaf, carried by the wind,

In a monotone round, falls swirling

Clouds in the sky,

Stretch, Stretch,

Clouds in the sky,

Stretch like a wing

The autumn leaf, carried by the wind,

In a monotone round, falls swirling

And this song in my heart,

Whispers, whispers,

And this song in my heart,

Calls forth happiness

The autumn leaf, carried by the wind,

In a monotone round, falls swirling

For those interested, you can find the original, French version here.

This was translated from "Love Scramble".

I actually didn't play it myself but...got to read this, Thanks to certain someone...😘

It's quite long and I can't seems to post it as one whole post.

I will tag this as "love scramble" so anyone who wanna read it and find it incomplete, click or find this tag in my blog...

It's Kenshin's story after all...

:: Part 1/2 ::

That day, I was summoned by Subaru-san so I hurriedly went to the instruction room and he was already there waited for me.

Subaru : 「At the town of Kasugayama castle in Sengoku period, I found a suspicious signal which I think it's a monster and the possibility that it really is a monster is very high so your mission is to go there and investigate it.」

Miu : 「Umm. Am I going there alone......?」

Subaru : 「Yes. Other members have their hands full of other cases. Noone but you are free.....Can you go?」

Miu : 「O...Okay. Understood.」

Subaru : 「You're just a rookie tho so basic investigation is enough. Don't be too rash.」

Next day...I warped to Sengoku period.

But why of all places...I've arrived in the middle of the forest!

It is that in the middle of dense and overgrown forest, everywhere covered in moss. I can only blink blankly in puzzlement.

( It's strange tho...I'm sure I set the destination as the tip of the castle town...so why I appear in a place such like this. )

Miu : 「F...First of all, I need to contact the base and verify my current location.」

However, when I tried operating the communication device, it seems to be in a bad shape and was not connected.

So from here, I decided to head forwards to see if I can reach to the town...but no matter how far I walk, there's nothing resemble a town comes in sight.

( May be it's actually in an opposite direction? Even if I'm not sure of it but just then, I'm turning my back on........ )

Caught in my thought, I stumbled upon a tree root and fell over.

Miu : 「Kyaaa......」

??? : 「Are you alright?」

Just when I heard that clear voice, a hand straights out before my eyes. When I look up to the source of that unexpected voice, pair of beautiful eyes in lapis lazuli color smile gently for me...

Miu : 「eh...Kenshin-san!?」

Kenshin : 「Hmm...you are......」

I accept the extended hand and rise up to my feet trying to study Kenshin-san's expression.

But in that very moment...sweet fragrance...steals all my attentions away.

( Wow, what a sweet elegant smell. )

When that scent's starting to get on my nerves, Kenshin-san smile charmingly.

Kenshin : 「That's right, I know. You're Miu of the shield, right? Why are you here at this place?」

Miu : 「Yeah. Well, actually we found suspicious signal from the town near Kasugayama castle so that's why I've come to investigate.」

Kenshin : 「Town near Kasugayama castle......?」

Kenshin-san's eyebrows remain in a normal shape just until I told him the situation.

Kenshin : 「......I see. Being alone in this forest was hard.」

Kenshin-san console me while gently brushing off fallen leaves on my hair.

Kenshin : 「Right. If you wanna go into town. I'll show you the way.」

Miu : 「......eh?」

Kenshin : 「Umm. That's fine.」

Although I was touched by Kenshin-san's kindness but I hurriedly shake my head refusing.

( I'm glad he offered to be my guide tho but...Kenshin-san surely is a feudal lord. I...just feel too guity to accept. )

Miu : 「Well...If you will only tell me which way, I think I can manage it...」

Kenshin : 「You must not, Miu.」

Miu : 「!?」

Despite his tender voice. For a short while, his beautiful transparent eyes shine grimly. I was taken aback and swallowed down my word reflexively.

Kenshin : 「It's too dangerous for a girl to walk through mountain path alone. I can't let that happen.」

Miu : 「Ah...」

( You somehow now worried me. )

Kenshin : 「I rule over this land so leave it to me, yes? and besides I think fate has brought me to you right here.」

Miu : 「F...Fate?」

Kenshin : 「Right, fate.」

He beams me an attractive smile then takes my hands in his.

Miu : 「Ah...urgh...Kenshin-san, hands...」

Kenshin : 「...Sorry. I didn't mean to.」

Miu : 「A...Alright.」

Kenshin : 「Huhu. Your cheeks are red, Miu. You are so cute.」

Miu : 「Ple...ase do not tease me.」

( He talked about fate, isn't that too romantic for the Kenshin-san who is a military commander? )

( Umm well, since I was in troubled being thrown out in the middle of the forest like this so perhaps letting him help me is not that bad after all. )

Miu : 「So...can you please guide me?」

Kenshin : 「Yes. Come.」

Kenshin-san walks off. His hair flutter smoothly in the wind. I can feel sweet scent lingering softly in the air and it's calling for me...after a while, I found myself follow after him...

With Kenshin-san's help, I've managed to arrive safely at the town.

Miu : 「Kenshin-san, thank you for kindly bring me along. If I was alone, maybe now I still wander inside the mountain.」

Kenshin : 「You're welcome. To have a lovely young girl like Miu as a company is also a pleasure.」

Miu : 「L...Lovely young girl...」

That unexpected comment bring blush to my cheeks.

Kenshin : 「Ok then. We have to collect informations, right.」

Miu : 「Right......eh?」

Leaving me dumbfounded, Kenshin-san started to walk off again.

( Now that he talk about collecting informations. Does that mean he will help me with my mission......? )

While I'm still in bewilderment, Kenshin-san looks over his shoulder.

Kenshin : 「What's wrong? Will you not investigate?」

Miu : 「Ah. Yes. I will......」

Kenshin : 「So then......start with that shop hmm.」

Kenshin-san has taken a turn at the crossroad to wherever he has in mind.

( As I suspected, he's really going to help me. )

( What a kind person he is...since he actually guided me to the town already... )

Where Kenshin-san headed appears to be a big kimono shop.

Just when we pass through the shop's curtain. The owner greets us cheerfully.

Owner : 「Isn't that Kenshin-sama!」

Kenshin : 「Hi. How's it going?」

Owner : 「Thanks to you. I'm prosperous...Right right...A few days ago, new textiles came. Please come and take a look......」

Kenshin : 「Wow, these textiles are wonderful.」

Many textiles were spread through out tatami mat. Kenshin-san smiles brightly having fun talking to the owner while picking at them.

The owner seems not nervous at all. Plenty of topics were brought up since business talk until neighborhood's cat.

( They are really familiar with each other. Seems like Kenshin-san comes here quite often. )

( Also while we were walking before, people around town greet us along the way. Wow. It is the fact that everyone here adores Kenshin-san. )

Kenshin : 「Miu, what are you doing over there. Come here.」

Miu : 「Y...Yes!」

Kenshin-san introduce me to the shop owner and then we have a friendly chat for a while...

Kenshin : 「Don't worry. The owner must go out to stock up textiles but if we visit other shop, we surely can collect more informations.」

Miu : 「Right...」

Kenshin : 「Huhu. Let's go then.」

After that, We visit other of Kenshin-san's familiar shops to collect informations.

The owner of the tea house where we stop by to take a break said that he saw an unfamiliar object...

Miu : 「At the back alley near the braiding shop...seems like many people have witnessed something at the same location.」

Kenshin : 「You got some informations now hmm so does that mean Miu's mission was completed?」

Miu : 「Eh......? Umm...I was told to investigate it lightly tho...」

( But until now, we only collect informations by asking around so I wanna investigate it some more. )

( Although I'm a bit scared but it maybe better to go there at the actual spot to confirm the information we've collected so far...... )

Sucking in deep breath, I decided to head towards that back alley.

Kenshin : 「It's very much ordinary back alley, I wonder, Is there such things as rumor say?」

Miu : 「It may be hidden...in the gutter or at the other side of the wooden door......」

Although I'm shivering, I somehow muster my courage trying to confirm the information I got.

Right then, something fly out from the place hidden from view!

Miu : 「Kyaaaaaaa!」

I'm surprised and unintentionally fall back.

When I look up, what I see is a monster...

Soon after I adjusted my posture. The monster's aiming its attack at me.

( That's bad...! )

I can't seems to avoid the attack so brace myself for the worst.

But in that very second, I saw a flash of shining blade and the monster has vanished right then and there...leaving only sweet scent drifting in the refreshing blowing wind.

( T...That blade is......? )

Kenshin : 「......You are not hurt?」

Returning his sword silently to its scabbard, Kenshin-san looks over his shoulder and gives me a gentle smile.

As we return to the main street, we leisurely walk along in town.

( To be able to knock down the monster like this, doesn't that mean my mission was completed? )

Miu : 「.........」

( I wonder, this time I must say goodbye to kenshin-san. )

While feeling a bit lonely staring at Kenshin-san's back. Suddenly, I got contact from Kota-san.

Miu : 「Ah...the communication device...!?」

Kenshin : 「Miu......?」

Miu : 「Sorry. I got contact from Kota-san. Please excuse me for a moment.」

I gave Kenshin'san a few words before stepping away.

Kota : 「Great, finally connected.」

Miu : 「The communication device is back to normal!」

Kota : 「No. This is just temporary. There's a system problem here so it's difficult to connect.」

Miu : 「And there's problem with the warp too? It's strange that I arrived in the forest.」

Kota : 「Yes. That's also the problem. The warp will teleport you to the wrong location so until it will be fixed. Do not use it.」

Miu : 「Eh...does that mean I can't return...?」

Kota : 「It will be fixed tomorrow so whatever...manage it until then.」

Miu : 「Eh...whatever......Kota-san!?」

Kota : 「S......o......L...a...t......e...r.......」

The screen distorted and the voice was cut off.

...beep beep beep...

Miu : 「!!! Are you kidding me !!! and if it will never again connected......!」

( Even if you said do whatever to survive a day but how can I manage to find where to stay a night? )

( Even though I can find a hostel but I don't know how can I manage to pay......I'm in trouble now... )

Miu : 「.........」

Kenshin : 「Is something the matter?」

Kenshin-san was surprised and now study my face with worry.

Miu : 「Sorry for being vague before. Well...actually there's a system problem. The communication device and the warp do not function properly.」

Kenshin : 「So you're in trouble. Can you return there?」

Miu : 「About that...Kota-san said it will be fixed tomorrow so doing whatever it takes...today......」

Kenshin : 「Then...you can come to my home.」

Miu : 「Kenshin-san's home?」

Kenshin : 「My home is big and there's so many rooms. Today Miu was working very hard. You must be tired yes? You can rest there.」

Miu : 「............」

( Urgh...Kenshin-san's home...in other words...the castle...right... )

Kenshin-san grin at me and I take a good look behind him.

What lies ahead is a big castle risen up to the mountain top.

( What a castle! ... I wonder if it's ok for a common people like me to go there. )

( But he offer me with kindness. Will he think I'm rude if I refuse? )

Miu : 「Umm...well...」

Still not sure what to do. I hesitate to say anything but Kenshin-san takes my hand just like that.

Miu : 「Kenshin-san...?」

Kenshin : 「Huhu...Let's go.」

Miu : 「Ah...wait...!?」

Kenshin : 「It's fine. It's fine.」

Beaming me a cheerful friendly smile, Kenshin-san pull me by my arm until we reach the castle.

Continued in Part 2

Tower of God S2ch249 Rough Translations

Somebody didn’t want to be named so let’s just say a prickly cactus helped in translating this chapter

You people-

I'll make you regret ever stepping foot in this place.

That's...?

Hell Joe..!!

That’s his real form? (alt:That’s how he really looks?)

I can feel an ominously strong power..!!

Urgh!! / My head..

Yuri-noona!?

Viole, use this..!!

She seems to have woken up after hearing your voice, / but she might not be completely stableyet!!

She'll get better if you cover her with this cloth!!

Baam!!

(Urrgh!! I feel like I have a hangover!!)

(How can you feel hungover if you had nothing to drink!!)

Hell Joe's attack is coming!! We have to avoid it!!

Hell Joe Weak Beam

Aaaaaaaaaacck!!

T-the offspring of the guardian!?

Well, basically speaking, that's right.

But I don't know if guardians can even breed (lit. give birth).

So it's also possible that it is the dead guardian trying to revive itself..

What!?

Although right now, its influence is limited to the South City.

I discovered that monster during my last visit here to the Floor of Death. / It was still weak but I knew that its power had properties similar to that of a guardian.

At first, I wondered what to do with it.

I decided that it would be a good idea to hand over that power to a person who would use it properly.

So I gave that monster's power

to Joe, who I met in the hole, with the request to use that power justly.

H-Hell Joe wasn't originally a bad guy!?

Yeah.. / Back then, he was a very good person.

I never imagined that he would become a dictator.

I really thought that he was a kid with potential...

I will meet with him and ask him for sure. / To find out what made him change like this.

43F Hell Train - Floor of Death - 18

At the same time D'sa Rescue Team

Prison Entrance

Hwa Ryun.

What is it?

I have something I want to ask / before we meet with D'sa.

Something you want to ask?

What kind of power does D'sa have that can defeat Joe? / He already lost to him before.

Does he have another way to win?

Tell me truthfully. / You lied to us, didn't you?

....Lied?

Yeah. All that stuff about your grudge against Joe were lies you made up..

Your real goal is not to eliminate Hell Joe.. / But to meet D’sa, isn’t it.

My goal is to “meet D'sa”...

..What does that mean?

K-Koon?! What are you talking about? What do you mean she's lying!! / You also saw it earlier!! The corpse of that dead guide..!!

...No. I’m pretty confident.

You said revenge was the reason why you wanted to infiltrate the castle / But you are paying no attention to Hell Joe’s movements.

Furthermore, the fact that you used Yuri Zahard, the only one who can kill Hell Joe, as bait to lure him outside is suspicious.

That's right. You seem to have come here not to take revenge on Hell Joe, but to meet D’sa.

...You do know it's not good to be so suspicious of someone without any other evidence?

I have other reasons for being suspicious as well. / First, your attitude as a guide. You came here as Viole's guide to find the thorn fragment. / However, you're leading us through a totally different path for the sake of a fellow guide's revenge.

I don't believe you're the type of person who will prioritize a personal grudge over Viole's path. / That isn't how a person angry at how their companion's death didn't follow their "designated path" would behave.

Second. Your attitude differs from that of a child who's lost someone precious. / You don’t feel rage or sorrow over her death.

Third. Hell Joe does not have the thorn fragment. / If he really had it, FUG would've heard of it by now. / And so, your objective would have been "to infiltrate the castle and look for the thorn fragment" instead. / Those are my reasons.

That D'sa person is somehow related to the thorn fragment.

And so, are you using us to meet with him? Is what I'm thinking.

..........

.........Heh

Astounding. You’re quite close to the truth.

...Of course.

What?!

(What do you mean!!)

T-then that corpse we saw earlier was also a lie..!?

No.. She really was killed by Hell Joe. / So it's true that I do have a personal grudge against him.

But as a guide, I have a more important goal.

D'sa, who is in prison right now, is in no condition to fight.

He won't be of any help at all in a battle with Hell Joe. / What I'm after isn't his power but an item that he possesses.

..Item?

Correct. / I came here to get “that thing” which D’sa has.

The name of that thing is..

The ladle that stirs souls.

The ladle... that stirs souls..?!

Yeah. / It's a magical item that D'sa and D'za used when creating the Room of Souls.

I told you that D'sa and D'za created the room of souls, right?

One of the items they used for that is the "ladle that stirs souls".

With a mystical power to transfer (alt. move) souls, / that ladle played an important role in mixing together souls which cannot be one.

And it's also unique, in being the only item that can free someone from the Room of Souls.

I-Isn't that what Hell Joe is after..!?

That's right. But Hell Joe thinks that it's already broken. / Because D'sa destroyed it in front of Hell Joe himself.

But it's not something that can be broken so easily.

We kept looking for that ladle which had disappeared-

And not long ago, a kid managed to infiltrate Joe's castle and returned..

saying "I saw D’sa in possession of that ladle".

What!? Is that why that guide was killed by Joe!?

That’s right. She infiltrated the castle in attempt to find the ladle, and fell to Joe. / We've been trying to break through this place for quite some time. That child was the second infiltration.

Why do you want that ladle..!?

..We're actually not very interested with the ladle itself. / The one who is really interested in it is a guy named “Madorako”.

M-Madorako.. that guy from the Workshop Battle..?

Yeah. He's the merchant ally of FUG who intervened during the Workshop Battle. / His main job was extracting the thorn fragment from the Floor of Death.

We're not sure but there's a rumor that he has another thorn fragment. / After the Workshop Battle, he became the enemy of some FUG executives and is now looking for customers to whom he can sell the thorn fragment. / And for the longest time, what Madoraco desperately desired was the "Ladle that stirs souls".

Are you seeing where this is headed now? / Our plan is to find the ladle and exchange it for thethorn fragment.

We don't know why Madoraco wants the ladle but we need the thorn fragment.

So from the start, I was planning to use you guys to get the ladle. / I came in ahead of you all, so I could finish my preparations.

I have never thought that Viole will obtain the thorn fragment here.

Because this is not a place where you guys can come and do anything. (T/N: as in, they're useless)

Of course, I did not anticipate that Viole will suddenly disappear.

Wait a sec, that means..! / You used Yuri Zahard simply as bait!? / To turn Hell Joe’s eyes away from us?!

That's right.

Of course it's better if she wins. / But even if she doesn't, we just need to retrieve the ladle and escape.

In the first place, I've never liked her being together with Viole..

Even if she dies here… well, It doesn't matter.

What!?

...The ladle.. that stirs souls?!

......... / How does she.. know about the ladle?

Now that you have learnt the truth, choose.

You could continue looking for the ladle with me / and then leave this place after we find Viole..

Or you could tell Yuri Zahard the truth and let all of my plans go to waste.

Of course, there's nothing for you to gain if you choose the latter..

Intruders!!

How dare you try to steal D'sa-nim's ladle!!

D'ree..?!

I, Grand D'ree, absolutely cannot allow that!!

W-who is that guy?!

The ladle that stirs souls.. / is our treasure.

I cannot hand it over to anyone!!

Kuhaha!! / Did you see that! This overwhelming power!!

(That was only a weakened version of it!!)

How do you feel? Now that you want to submit to me..!!

What the, those bastards!! / Where did they run off to!!

What!?

D'za said he'll tell you where the thorn fragment is if you get rid of Hell Joe!?

Yes..

He's really gone nuts!! / No matter how senile he's become, how can he be so selfish!!

Urrgh..!!

Yuri-noona!!

..Baam!?

Baam~!! / I think I had a scary dream!!

N-noona, now's not the time..!!

........

What were you doing? Assess the situation, you troublemaker.

Aaack!!

Yuri-noona!!

A-are you alright!?

You guys escape to North City. / And be especially careful that you don't let that [implied spirit] throw a fit again.

..?! What about you, Garam-ssi..?

Joe will catch up to us soon. / He's the strongest in South City.

If I was alone, I might be able to escape. But it's impossible with all of you. / So I'll stall him and give you guys an opening to escape.

No matter how important your fate is / you can't lose everything just to go along with the stubbornness of that senile Grand D'za.

...What the? Who is she..?

I.. I can't do that!!

What?

I came here to take the test!! / No matter how dangerous it is, I'll pass the test and get the thorn fragment!

I don't know what's the matter but I'm also going back. / This kid's friends are still inside the castle.

!! / Koon-ssi and the others are also there?!

If they're there!! / Then I'll definitely go back, Garam-ssi!!

Garam..?

It can't be.. Garam.. the Zahard princess?

........

Why are you here .!?

Baam!!

Hockney-ssi!! Mata-ssi!!

Baam!! Hockney, he!! / The future..!!

Huh?!

We aren't certain, but he just foresaw a great future!! / It's on a whole different level from what he saw previously!! (T/N: referring to the visions he had previously)

If we keep on heading this way, all of us will die!! / We need to bring Hell Joe to the place I saw in the future!!

Wh- what did you say?!

There's a hole entrance connected to North City not too far from here!!

“Something” is going to appear from there to help us!!

"Something that can help us...?" / What are you on about.

We don't know the exact details, but we have to do that for all of us to survive!!

P-please trust us! / Hockney can see the future!!

He's not lying. / Hockney-ssi has D'za's eyes, which can see the future.

Please trust him just this once..!!

!! D'za's eyes!?

...... If it's D'za's eyes / Then maybe..

..That future you saw. Can you tell me more in detail?

Hell Joe-nim!!

How far are we going to chase after them!! Shouldn't we go back to the castle first!?

Shut up!! / You damn slowpoke!!

I'll go on ahead!!

Hell Joe-nim!!

Woah-!!

You guys-

Since when were you on the same side?

.......

What could possibly come to help us..

It'll be good if I'm not too late.
