#79 里帰り (Coming home) Superhuman Share House Story 『CHARISMA』

Watch the track here.

TL Note: 

里帰り (satogaeri) is “returning home to one’s parents” after a period of time. Whether because the person got married or is living away from home. Another possible alternative title to this drama track, “Homecoming.”

Torahime: …! I can’t find them…! My apologies Doctor, I���ll make sure to-

Nakagami: Yanagi-kun.

Assistant 1: Yes?

Torahime: Eeh!?

Nakagami: Any word from the Charisma radar?

Assistant 1: Nothing. Just a little while ago they suddenly vanished into thin air.

Nakagami: Just where the hell did they go…! Those Charismas…!

(Scene fades to black)

(SFX: Sound of the 7 running away)

Thugs: Hey get back over here! I’ll fuckin’ wreck you!

Rikai: Just what is this place!? There is not even a semblance of order here!

Ohse: ?

Amahiko: You’re finally awake, Ohse-san. Did you have any pleasant dreams whilst on Amahiko’s back?

Terra: Amahiko, look out!

Amahiko: Whoops-

(Pipe hits Terra’s head)

Terra: That frickin’ hurt! You weren’t supposed to avoid it!

Amahiko: Eh?

Terra: Didn’t I tell you that if anything tries to hit me, you’re supposed to be my shield!?

Amahiko: Wow!

Fumiya: Ohse, sorry you had to wake up so early, but we’re kinda in a pickle right now.

Kei: RUN FOR YOUR LIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Everyone: AAAAAAHHHHHHHH…!

Ohse: W-where are we…?

Iori: It’s a lawless land! ♪

Ohse: Eh?

Iori: This is Saru-chan’s hometown.

Rikai: There is nothing but delinquents here! Big brother Rikai is experiencing culture shock!

Fumiya: If we’re not careful, they could kill us in a heartbeat. Haha.

Terra: But that radar those guys have, it can’t reach us here right?

Amahiko: Are you absolutely sure, Sarukawa-kun?

Kei: Yeah, they put up a jammer for the whole city.

Kei: It’s impossible for them to get anythin’ through here from the outside.

Iori: It's almost like diplomatic immunity. ♪

Rikai: I-I cannot believe a place such as this truly exists in this world…!

Fumiya: There is. You just didn’t know.

(Scene fades to black as they all move forward)

Kei: Ya understand me? These people hate even the thought of strangers more than anything else.

Kei: If ya don’t wanna die, ya gotta blend in here.

Everyone else: …

Fumiya: Got it.

Ohse: Hiyah! Hiyah! Ei! Hiyah!

Ohse: Chop!

Kei: What the hell’re ya doin.

Ohse: I’m practicing my fighting skills.

Kei: Hah?

Ohse: This shitty loser refuses to be a burden to everyone else.

Ohse: Hiyah! Hiyah! EI EI EI EI EI!

Ohse: HOOOOAAAAAHHHHHH!!

Kei: Knock it off, you’ll stand out.

Ohse: W-what the hell do ya want, ya got a problem with me?

Kei: Not even close.

Ohse: Look down on me and I’ll kill! Myself!

Kei: HAAAH!? WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU TALKIN’ ABOUT? Hold on, wait, what kind of reasoning is that!?

Kei: Oi! Stop it already! …!

Iori: Come at me!

Kei: You too, Io? You guys can’t be serious about doin’ this! There’s no way ya’ll can pull it off!

Iori: Now, you’re free to kick my ass! Take this chain and drag it around! Iori: Mess me upppppp!

Kei: Now yer just actin’ like an M again.

Iori: I’m not an M.

Terra: Sarukawa-kun, isn’t there a beauty salon nearby?

Kei: There ain’t none. Ya gotta act different.

Kei: How come yer actin’ the same?

Terra: The beauty parlor? How about a nail salon?

Kei: Quit jokin’ around!!

Terra: Alright, I’ll just make one.

Kei: HOLD ON A MINUTE! WE’RE JUST GONNA STAND OUT EVEN MORE!

Amahiko: Everyone, please don’t be conspicuous.

Kei: WAAAH! What the hell is up with yer fit!? Where even did you get that in this town!?

Ohse: The pervert is here.

Iori: Game on!

(Gong rings)

Amahiko: Fufufu, hahaha! Will you beat Dirty Amahiko?

Kei: Ughhhhhhhhhhhh……

Fumiya: What are you guys doing? We’re not supposed to be standing out.

Kei: That’s what I keep sayin’!

Thugs: Big bro! Big bro Fumiya!

Thugs: What kinda shit we doin’ next!?

Thugs: Give us somethin’ to do, big bro! Big bro Fumiya!

Kei: WHY THE HELL DO YA HAVE A BUNCH OF GOONS WITH YA!?

Fumiya: I’m gonna overthrow the most powerful force in this city.

Thugs: HEELLLL YEAAAAAHHHHH!!

Kei: SO MUCH FOR BLENDING IN!!

(The five of them laugh together)

Kei: You assholes…!

Kei: Just cus the radar can’t find us, doesn’t mean y’all can do whatever the hell you want…!

Fumiya: Man, this really is a nice little city.

Terra: Mhm, I’m pleased with it.

Amahiko: It’s wonderful, Sarukawa-kun.

Kei: … Eh?

Terra: It’s liberating here.

Iori: And you don’t have to worry about what other people think.

Ohse: It’s kind of comforting…

Fumiya: It’s pretty interesting, I’m having fun.

(The five of them talk amongst each other)

Kei: …

(Kei starts walking away)

Amahiko: Sarukawa-kun? Where are you going?

Terra: Hold on.

Everyone else: …

(The scene fades to black, revealing where Kei had gone off to)

Kei: …

(Amahiko: So he was a truant?)

(Iori: … Yeah. He didn’t really go to school all that much.)

(Iori: He couldn’t get used to it because of all the trouble he got into.)

(Amahiko: So, he was in and out of places like these.)

(Iori: Yeah.)

(Iori: It’s really fun to be here. It really changes how you look at things.)

(Amahiko: But… You must have left some time, correct?)

(Iori: Yeah.)

(Amahiko: Why is that? It must be difficult to find a gem such as this place.)

(Amahiko: Just what is going on with this city…)

(Iori: That’s because…)

Kei: !? Who’s there!?

?: …

Kei: I know you’re there, come out here.

Kei: …! Y…You…!

Ryuu: … Kei bro.

Kei: Ryuu!

Charisma House - Superhuman Sharehouse Story “Charisma” - #75 I want to go home

Please read alongside listening to the drama track on Youtube.

This is officially the start of the 2nd season of drama tracks.

TL notes:

Obviously it's been a while since I translated crsm, but should be overall consistent.

Mob charas have been given the title "Public officer" and "Reseacher", no real basis for these other than context. (It's at least better than just "mob guy 1", "mob guy 2"...)

Stan is a replacement for 推し, it means to simply be a fan or supporter of someone (in a bit more aggressive ways than just, oh he's neat). I love Rikai, and would sacrifice my limbs for him, by that definition I am a Rikai stan.

Rikai: What nice weather

Sarukawa: yuh

Terra: There’s bugs everywhere♪

Ohse: yea

Fumiya: I’m hungry

Amahiko: yeh

Sarukawa: ! He’s back!

Rikai: Iori-san, how was it? Did you catch anything?

Iori: Nu-uh, not a single one

Iori: Grabbing char with your bare hands is tough

Iori: I still have a long way to go as a slave

Everyone: Haaaah………

Rikai: I want to have a proper meal

Fumiya: I want sweets

Amahiko: I want to stroke sexiness

Sarukawa: I wanna rampageee~

Ohse: I want to hole up in my room

Iori: I want to make yummy food

Terra: I WANT-! TO GO HOOMEEEEEEEEEE-!!!!!

-

Rikai: As for why we ended up the running for our lives in the mountains, is because of…

(Everyone is resisting against being handled)

Sarukawa: The hell’s your issue!

Nakagami: Lay off

Public officer: P-professor

Nakagami: I told you to not be violent.

Nakagami: You know none of you are on equal footing as them. 

Public officer: Yessir!

(Rikai blows his whistle)

Rikai: Who are you people! This is trespassing! Property damage! Battery!

Nakagami: Calm down, Kusanagi Rikai-kun.

Rikai: ?

Nakagami: Always prioritizing order, just as you’d expect from mankind’s leader

Rikai: ……!?

Nakagami: Motohashi-kun, fetch us some drinks.

Nakagami: I have no choice but to depend on your wonderful free service to settle things around here

Iori: Huh?

Sarukawa: The fuck ya sayin’ there!

Sarukawa: Leave, leave

Terra: LEAVE!

Nakagami: Do not be mistaken!

Nakagami: We are not a threat.

Nakagami: We’re on your side.

Fumiya: ….?

-

Iori: H-here you go.

Nakagami: Many thanks.

Rikai: (This man introduced himself as Nakagami Soemon.)

Rikai: (He’s affiliated with a special organization that stretches over the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Pentagon.)

Rikai: (A leading presence within the national defense of this country.)

Rikai: (This Rikai-oniisan here verified his identity, so there is no doubt.)

Rikai: (Nevertheless, while he is not a publicly recognized figure, he’s a key figure in supporting the government from behind the scenes.)

Rikai: (Why is such a character here for us?)

Rikai: (The topic had somehow turned to the issue with energy.)

Nakagami: The amount of material resources

Nakagami: A curse that burdens this miniscule island.

Nakagami: Even by dispossessing territory, even by procuring people, this country can’t do anything. 

Nakagami: You could say acquisition of coal, oil, nuclear power and further as alternative energies, is this land’s- no, the whole world’s ultimate desire. 

Nakagami: And so I had miraculously discovered it.

Nakagami: There’s been several observations of an unknown amount of energy coming from the surroundings of a courtly pavilion, serving as a vacation house of a former embassy.  

Nakagami: “T-this is….! What…….!?”

Nakagami: I was shaken to the core

Nakagami: And then it struck me, 

Nakagami: Turning a blind eye to such power will put the existence of our country at stake.

Nakagami: I named it Charisma

Nakagami: It’s what this country, rotten by idiocy to the core, needs the most right now.

Nakagami: You charismas will save the country, and change the world 

Sarukawa: Huhn?

Iori: Hm?

Terra: Eh?

Ohse: Ummm….

Rika: What?

Fumiya: Heheh…

Iori: C-could you explain this one more time…

Nakagami: We’re dealing with a resource problem

Iori: Uh-huh

Terra: That I understand

Nakagami: Up until now humanity has acquired diverse forms of energy,

Nakagami: Coal

Everyone: Yeah

Nakagami: Oil

Everyone: Yeah

Nakagami: Nuclear power

Everyone: Yeah

Nakagami: And I discovered a new type of energy, and that is Charisma

Everyone: Huh!?

(Silence)

Nakagami: We’re dealing with a resource problem

Everyone: Yeah

Nakagami: So far humanity has acquired

Nakagami: Coal

Everyone: Yeah

Nakagami: Oil

Everyone: Yeah

Nakagami: Nuclear power

Everyone: Yeah

Nakagami: Charisma

Everyone: HUH!?

Nakagami: According to the observed data, 

(Everyone starts yelling at Nakagami, as he monologues)

Nakagami: Somehow, while going on with your daily lives, you’ve accumulated Charisma Charge, and shortly after emitted terrific power from Charisma Breaking. This will changed the world. Perhaps to the point of no more wars. You might not realize it yourselves, but all of you are amazing. It’s deviating from the norm! It’s out of one’s mind!

Everyone: YOU ARE!!!!

Sarukawa: YOU’RE the one that’s been outta your mind the entire time!!

Amahiko: Professor, rather than such incomprehensible power, how about using the power of sexiness to change the world

Amahiko: ECSTASY WORLD!

Terra: I don’t know about that one

Iori: Amahiko-san be quiet.

Nakagami: No, he roughly has a point there. 

Terra & Iori: EH!?

Amahiko: I had a point…

Sarukawa: Hold it, supposing that we do have that kinda power, why the hell should we work with ya

Fumiya: Nicely said. 

Fumiya: That’s right, that’s right. Leave

Nakagami: Ofcourse I am not saying it for no reason. 

Nakagami: I will make it so that the whole country shall compensate you all.

Fumiya: Guess we’ll hear him out

Terra: Ito Fumiya

Nakagami: Social status, fortune and fame. Everything will be guaranteed regarding the future.

Fumiya: And sweets.

Terra: Ito Fumiya.

Nakagami: I’ve somewhat looked into your pasts.

Nakagami: It seems that society has treated you quite unfairly.

Nakagami: As if you’re defective human beings.

Everyone: …..

Nakagami: I disagree.

Nakagami: I respect your existence.

Nakagami: Cooperate with us. 

Nakagami: I’ll put your power to good use and reform this country.

Nakagami: As compensation you will get everything you want.

-

Nakagami: “Together, to the next realm”

Nakagami: “Prayers alone will grant you nothing”

Sarukawa: Up yours ‘bout that cooperation

Sarukawa: You tried to force us to come along with ya

Fumiya: Kei’s outburst was a huge help

Sarukawa: Heh

Iori: I have slave contracts with everyone so no way that’s possible

Amahiko: He was a bit lacking in sexiness

Ohse: It was scary

Terra: I don’t need anything, just leave me alone

Fumiya: Well, that’s how society’s like.

Terra: Hm?

Rikai: Why~ Everyone! My condolences since it's my fault. 

Everyone: Huh?

Rikai: At last…..! At last this Charisma has been discovered!

Rikai: My daily achievements have been finally recognized by the state~! Ahahahaha!

Iori: What’s he all riled up over now

Rikai: Eh? We are talking about making me the prime minister, no? 

Ohse: Oh yeah true

Iori: NO!

Terra: Did you even listen?

Terra: We talked about saving the earth due to Terra-kun’s Terra-kun for Terra-kun’s sake

Iori: What are you saying?

Amahiko: It was actually about sending me out in the world as the Minister of Sexy Affairs

Iori: This isn’t a joke! The country will fall apart!

Rikai: Iori-san, we’re CHARISMAS here.

Terra: Exactly, what’s with that attitude against us Charismas

Amahiko: After all, we are Charismas here.

Iori: GEEZ! DON’T BE HAPPY ABOUT IT!!!

Sarukawa: I’m never gon’ cooperate with anything

Sarukawa: That kinda shit’s worthless anyway

Sarukawa: Just ignore it

Sarukawa: Right, Fumiya

Fumiya: Eh?

Fumiya: Ah, yeah…

-

Sarukawa: Fuck! They found us!

Everyone: ?

(Everyone starts running)

Public officer A: Found them! It’s Charisma!

Public officer B: Wait you Charismas!

Public officer C: Oi, the Charismas went over there!

Public Officer D: It’s Charisma!!!!!

Public Officer E: Charisma!!!

Iori: EEEH!? How did they find us!?

Amahiko: This deep in the mountains…

Rikai: (No matter how clever our escapes are, they will find us)

Rikai: (Due to this mysterious radar)

Public Officer G: Charisma over there

Fumiya: (We can’t shake them off)

Ohse: (What’s going to happen to us)

Everyone: Siiiiiiiiigh………..

Everyone: This suuuuuuuuuucks………

To be continued

Researcher A:  Uuuh… this is order?

Researcher B: An obedience…how-to? 

Researcher C: Ohse’s his first name?

Researcher D: What is a Minister of Sexy Affairs...

(Nakagami comes walking in)

Researcher A: Ah, Professor Nakagami

Nakagami: What are you doing.

Researcher A: We’re studying these 7 people. 

Nakagami: Studying, huh. Very well.

Nakagami: Then have you already decided who you stan?

Researcher B: Eh? Stan…?

Researcher C: W-what does that mean

Nakagami: By the way, I…

Nakagami:

Stan them all!

Researchers: Excuse me?

Hi! A friend and I are cleaning up the crsm wiki and are currently in the process of overhauling lyrics formatting. We found that you had a translation of Moonlight Hormao on lyrical-nonsense and were wondering if it'd be ok to upload your tl onto the wiki (as you already have tls present there)?

I can understand your hesistance due to the explicit nature of the lyrics' contents, but we were planning on adding a Content Warning box onto the Moonlight Hormao page to mitigate the issue.

hello! thank you for asking :)

that's fine, yes! totally okay to put there with credit

godspeed to you guys updating the wiki, much love

[sasaranurude]

I want to rewatch crsm season 2 before S3 comes out but I don't really watch to rewatch it until either official subs come out or justicerikai's TLs catch up so I'm just sitting here

#78 ぶちのめせ！ (Tear them a new one!) Superhuman Share House Story 『CHARISMA』

Watch the track here.

Torahime: This is…

Ohse: Ah, that’s Terra-san’s mirror.

Ohse: He would always sit there, looking at himself while his nose was bleeding.

Ohse: And on that side, Amahiko-san would hit on him and Terra-san would always get mad.

Ohse: Oh, and speaking of getting mad--

Ohse: Sarukawa-san would put his feet up while sitting down and Rikai-san always scolded him for that.

Ohse: Fumiya-san quietly reads his book over here.

Ohse: Iori-kun prepares dinner in the kitchen, and it smells delicious.

Torahime: Sounds like a lot of fun, doesn’t it.

Ohse: Eh-

Nakagami: (Minato Ohse happily recounted his memories to us.)

Nakagami: (Just as I thought, what he had “forgotten” was in relation to those 6.)

Nakagami: (A painting of those 6, excluding himself.)

Assistants: Woah…! Wow…!

Torahime: That’s amazing…

Nakagami: Did you draw this?

Ohse: … Yes. But it’s not finished yet.

Ohse: They all keep telling me to add my shitty self in, it’s so absurd.

Ohse: But…

Ohse: I promised them, that I would see this painting to the end.

Nakagami: And that’s why you can’t leave it as is.

Ohse: … Yes.

Nakagami: (I suppose it doesn’t particularly mean anything, but it’d be troublesome if he had a sudden change of heart.)

Nakagami: (I tried to have the painting transported to the lab, however…)

Torahime: …!? You’re burning it!? Why…!

Ohse: I can’t move on if I have this, I can’t go back to being alone.

Ohse: It’s in the way.

Nakagami: A clean slate. How gallant.

Torahime: Hold on a minute!

Ohse: !

Nakagami: ?

Torahime: … Is that really okay? Didn’t you make a promise?

Nakagami: What are you…?

Torahime: It’s just that, you sounded so happy when you were talking.

Torahime: They must mean a lot to you.

Torahime: How can you burn that promise away…

Torahime: Don’t you feel anything at all!?

Ohse: Nothing at all.

Ohse: I’m a piece of shit, after all.

Torahime: …!

Iori: Is that so~?

Scientists: !?

Assistants: What the hell is this!? What’s going on!? Wha-what’s this…!

Assistant: Doctor! A pole dancing pole is coming up from the floor!

Nakagami: What!? This is a former embassy villa! 

Nakagami: What is that kind of mechanism doing here!?

Amahiko: Fufufufufufu, hahahahaha!

Nakagami: That’s Tendou Amahiko, isn’t it-

Amahiko: SEXY ATTAAAAAAACK!!

Scientists: AAAAAAGHHHHH~~!

Ohse: !? … Eeh???

Nakagami: The Ch-Charismatics… How did you know to find us here…!

Iori: We just used this!

(Radar beeps)

Nakagami: The Charisma radar!

Iori: Fumiya-san had broken the previous one, so me being the slave I am, fixed it.

Iori: Ohse-san, will you finally let me serve you now~

Iori: Here, let’s seal the deal on this contract! Quit taking so long!

Iori: Finger! Give me your finger! FINGERRRRRR-!

(Fumiya pushes Iori out of the way)

Iori: AAH!

Fumiya: Ohse.

Ohse: !

Fumiya: If you’re really just a piece of shit who feels nothing at all, then how come this thing keeps beeping?

(Radar beeps)

Ohse: …!

Ohse: You shouldn’t lie, Ohse-kun. ‘tis folly that disturbs your order the most.

Amahiko: While you may hate yourself, you are surely more loving to those around you than anyone else.

Amahiko: That’s why you can create sexy paintings like this. 

Kei: We’ll wait on ya no matter what!

Kei: Even if ya hate it, dumbass!

Ohse: ………

Nakagami: How impressive of Charisma. I never would have expected you to use our own radar against us.

Nakagami: In that case, I too shall act. There’s no way I can’t take advantage of this great opportunity here.

Ohse: !?

(The rest of the 6 struggle against Nakagami’s team)

Rikai: Stop this violence, you fools!

Nakagami: Round them all up! Bring them to the lab!

Assistants: Yes sir!

Ohse: Wait! This isn’t what you promised! I’ll do anything!

Ohse: You have to stop this!

(Ohse is pushed from Nakagami and falls)

Ohse: !!

Nakagami: I don’t understand, why don’t you trust me?

Nakagami: You told me that you were responsible for all your misfortunes.

Nakagami: And that you deserved to be punished accordingly.

Nakagami: But that’s not the truth!

Nakagami: You didn’t do anything wrong!

Nakagami: You did nothing wrong, and yet, the whole world attacked and oppressed you!

Ohse: …!

Nakagami: You forced yourself to find a reason.

Nakagami: That’s how you’ve been holding yourself together.

Nakagami: I’m different from the others, Minato-kun.

Nakagami: You must respect and protect yourself, harness that power that makes you, you.

Nakagami: I’m your ally.

Ohse: … Ally?

(The rest of them struggle with pained voices)

Ohse: This is wrong. This isn’t what I asked for.

Ohse: Wrong… Wrong!

Ohse: I have to say it.

Ohse: I have… to say… it…

(Ohse’s vision fades to black)

Nakagami: Hah, you are weak. All you have to do is listen to what I say.

Ohse: …

Ohse: Y-ye…

Terra: RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!

Assistants: GUUH!!!

Terra: OHHHHHSEEEEEEEEEEE!

Terra: I want you to take these assholes and…

Terra: TEAR THEM A NEW ONE!!!!

(Ohse’s heartbeat pounds)

(The voices of past bullies)

Bully 1: Hey.

Bully 2: Tch.

(Ohse’s heartbeat pounds)

(Things being violently thrown)

(Water splashes)

(Ohse’s heartbeat pounds)

Bully 1: Hahaha.

Bully 2: Gross.

(Ohse’s heartbeat pounds)

(The 6 struggle with pained voices)

Nakagami: I’m your ally.

Ohse: OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!

Kei: AH! I’VE SEEN THAT BEFORE! THAT’S BAD NEWS!

Kei: WE’RE IN BIG TROUBLE! I’M SERIOUS, THIS IS REAL BAD!

Kei: EVERYONE, WE GOTTA RUN~~~!

Kei: YOU GUYS TOO, RUN AWAY!

Ohse: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Fumiya: Charisma Charge, success.

Torahime: D-DOCTORRRR!

Nakagami: How amazing…

Fumiya: Hell Break.

“Yes, yes, I know that. Yes, I’m sorry. I apologize. It’s alright. You don’t have to say anything else, I know. I know that very well.”

Worthless, trash, garbage, scummy loser A cesspool of shit like a pile of snow on the ground Everything you do is a waste Cease your living as a towering trash heap

HELL YEAH!!

To punish evil and reward good is poetic justice Commonplace for the ordinary So then what’s the deal? I don’t remember this Perhaps merely existing is a sin in itself I’m not here because I asked for this life Even the slightest of hopes are no longer here Yeah, I already know who’s the worst of them all

A sunny January 1st New Years. This shitty loser will live yet again for another year. I’m so sorry. A fine October 31st Halloween. Given that they’re dressed like zombies, I wanted them to devour every single part of this shitty loser. Clear skies, December 24th. What is a Holy Night? My apologies. This shitty loser is unneeded. June 14th, heavy rain. My birthday. I couldn’t do anything today. I’m sorry for being born.

This shitty dump of a life As if I’m living in the ninth hell A metamorphosis of regret at a dead end I can’t believe I’m allowed to live That day will never come I’ll just keep living in my own pool of blood

[justicerikai]

oatscurry

Last year around May I have decided to quit fan TLing Charisma House and prioritize what I was doing in life. A lot has happened in then and I can say one thing: I do not regret the decision I made, because this made me rekindle the appreciation I had for this series that was wavering at the time.

Since then, I have slowly stepped away from fan TLing more and more until I truly took some time off from it completely, dropping whatever else I was doing with this hobby and sort of 'retiring' in a sense. I like doing fan translation, but I was not going about it in a healthy way. I had to quit.

I still consider myself "retired", in a way. I don't seek to actively keep up with it all the time, and only do things when I truly want to. It's also just good warm up exercise or something to keep me on my toes with JPN. I have other things I'm interested in TLing, or helping with TLing, so having something on the side to do helps a lot.

Hence this being the reason I suddenly uploaded two TL'd drama tracks out of nowhere.

I seek to continue doing this at a leisurely pace, in a way where I do not feel obligated to do this all the time and keep it up until I have other things to prioritize in my life!

I believe this is the most productive in the long run too, without facing the impending doom of burn out. CRSM happens to be the perfect series to do this with. And I truly do enjoy the challenges this series throws at me, it's great practice on all fronts.

That being said, thank you for the asks. I see I received quite a bit in my absence. I didn't think I would have some kind of major impact doing this, so it's cool to see that I did! If anything, I'm very delighted that the spirit of Charisma House lived on with my TLs even when I wasn't active.

I know people aren't here for yapping, so that's all I say on the matter.

TLDR: I will be posting crsm translations from time to time, sometimes in bulk, sometimes a stray one here and there. However please don't expect me to keep up with it weekly once I am caught up on everything. As I said, this is for my own enjoyment and I want to avoid the pressure of /needing/ to keep up.

Now!

Rightfullness is glorious!

Order is All Green!

[justicerikai]

Hey I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your CH translations! And that I'd rather wait patiently for your S2 translations to come out rather than watching the translations on the official yt channel... which seem to be completely machine translation with no editing or review to be completely honest... I very much like how you translate the jokes and the characters speech mannerisms! It's so fun to read and very understanable! Thank you for your hard work!

oh, i've seen they added subs for everything (i think) recently.

shame to hear it's MTL... (unless it got fixed and that happened after you sent this, idek).

i'm glad my TLs can convey the spirit of crsm to you!

you're welcome!

[justicerikai]

Hi there! I’m working on adding English subtitles to the crsm stageplay. My Japanese is far from perfect, so do you mind if I reference your subtitles? I’ll give credit to you! :) Thank you!

if with reference you mean, in the same way an artist would use a picture of someone for pose reference. and not actual chunks taken out of it and put in the subs (i am not sure what contents the drama covers, so i dont know if this will count), its okay. credit appreciated but not mandatory.

in the case there happens to be some jokes i localized or straight up chunks taken from my TL, that find their way into the eng subs, credit me for partial translation, or atleast localisation. or some kind of source of any kind. credit is absolutely mandatory.

please do not thesaurus the fuck out of my TL either. i can tell when this happens. in that case, just be honest about using part of my TL and credit me appropiately. or i will come swinging with a wooden bat.

sorry for sounding so rude and strict on this matter, but i want to make my point clear since i have enough experience of my work being stolen. :)

[justicerikai]

Hello! Would you mind if someone else translates crsm episodes too? Also is there any possibility of working together on the rest of the eps?

no, not at all.

IMO, i feel it's unneccessary to ask. i just so happen to be one of The Guys people go to for TLs but that doesn't mean there's an embargo on what you may or may not do.

like, there's already translations for a lot of the drama tracks on utube, with subs. what i'm doing is redudant "so to speak" but i am merely doing this for my own enjoyment and whims. cuz i like TLing it when im in the mood for it.

on working together, i don't know. i'm strict in this matter. unless i'm already familiar with your work as a TLer, and know your skill in full capacity, maybe. also depends on what you want to do. edit in the sense of localisation? proofread and fix grammar? actually do the translation and let me edit it instead?

and to be honest, i do not want to be seated with potentially fixing a botched translation and give me more work than needed.

i sound asinine about it because i am. if that doesn't deter you, you can shoot me DM on tumblr and i'll hand over my discord to have a chat in the nitty gritty of it all.

however, maybe at this point it would be better to just do things on your own, lol. just know that i will be still translating everything regardless if someone else has done it or not.

my apologies if i sound so stand offish, but i have rather... several experiences of such acts of cooperations just being a nightmare on my mind. it's a hobby that i want to turn into a genuine profession, which is what i will be working towards to this year.

Charisma House - Sexy & Beauty

Posted on the 2nd of May because of there being no new drama tracks for that week.

TL note:

凡人 (bonjin) is what JP crsm fans have been using to call themselves to indicate they’re a crsm fan, and the staff picked up on that! The word means “ordinary person/average/pleb/etc”. I wasn’t sure with the angle to take it with so I settled for ‘normies’, but this could be changed if I find something more fitting…?

Amahiko: Greetings! All you normies!

Amahiko: I am Sexy!

Terra: And I am Beauty!

Amahiko: It looks like our series will be taking a break this week, Beauty.

Terra: What a shame, Sexy

Terra: How about we show off our marvelous skills for the normies as an apology?

Amahiko: Nice idea, Beauty!

Terra: Then I’ll go first!

Terra: BEAUTYYYY BEAAAAM

Amahiko: SEXYYY ATTAAAAACK

Terra: BEAUTY BOMBEEEEEEEER

Amahiko: SEXY FIREEEEEEEEE

Amahiko & Terra: SEXY AND BEAUTYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Amahiko & Terra: Until next time~!

[justicerikai]

Thank you so much for all your hard work on charisma TLs🙇🙇🙇 I'd like to ask if you plan to translate the lyrics of the remaining songs

lyrics is not my forte at all....! or rather, it's the one place i have 0 confidence in doing so. i dropped this very early on in my crsm fanTL career.

& neither is it really in my interest field of what i like to translate.

sorry!

[justicerikai]

okay! i have made that twitter acc for those interested. (i dusted off an old acc i tried to use for crsm fanbase posting but i am shy lol)

i'm trying to still figure out how to organize some things but it should just function as my previous TL acc where everytime there's a new TL, i'll just slam it on there with a link to here. so if you prefer to only follow this acc, that is fine in itself.

#64 さようなら (Goodbye) Superhuman Share House Story 『CHARISMA』

Watch the track here.

Iori: Ohse-san ended up leaving our house.

Iori: The only things he left behind was a large picture of us and a plain farewell letter.

(The scene fades black as it transitions back to the house with Fumiya reading out loud the letter that Ohse had written them. The paper rustles.)

Fumiya: “Thank you for everything. Goodbye.” … that’s all.

Kei: What the hell does that mean!?

Rikai: I don’t know…

Amahiko: …

Terra: Whatever the case is, this drawing is very well done. Terra-kun is obviously the prettiest one here. Nice job, ghostie.

Iori: Why did he leave behind this painting of us?

Fumiya: It’s like he’s paying us back.

Iori: Paying? For what?

Rikai: W-when was he able to create such a masterpiece?

Terra: He was always in his room by himself, just drawing. He promised to show me when it was all done.

Amahiko: Then that means… Was Ohse-san planning to leave us this whole time?

Terra: Seems like it.

Kei: What the fuck is up with that!?

Iori: Saru-chan.

Rikai: … Fumiya-san, what do you think we should do?

Fumiya: Well… What’s done is done. There’s nothing we can do about it.

Terra: Can’t be helped, right?

Kei: Can’t do shit, huh...

(The day passes as Ohse is out in the city, followed by footsteps.)

Everyone: Ooooooohseeeeee~~

Ohse: Wah!

Rikai: Time to go home.

Iori: Caught you.

Rikai: Alright Ohse-kun, let’s go.

(They all talk amongst one another as they capture Ohse and take him back home.)

Ohse: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

(Scene fades back to the house, later in the day.)

Iori: Welcome home!

Amahiko: You came back surprisingly quick.

Kei: He didn’t just come back, ‘s more like he was nabbed. 

(Iori, Amahiko, Kei, and Terra laugh.)

Rikai: Ohse-kun, why did you do it?

Rikai: Please tell us your reasons for leaving.

Ohse: I figured it was the right time to move on!

Everyone: Hah?

Ohse: Because you guys shouldn’t be stuck with this piece of shit anymore.

Ohse: I’m so very sorry you all had to live with this rotten lump of shitty flesh that’s disgusting as hell through and through. 

Ohse: I felt like I was going crazy here, so I thought that I needed to disappear as soon as possible.

Ohse: I was so spoiled by everyone’s kindness that I kept putting it off.

Rikai: Ohse-kun?

Ohse: But the other day when we celebrated my birthday, I had a really great time, and I finally made a decision.

Ohse: I don’t wish for any more happiness.

Ohse: I thank you all very much for putting up with me until now, and for being so kind to a garbage human being like myself.

Ohse: Thank you for all your hard work, everyone!

Ohse: Excuse me--!

Everyone: Eeh!?!?

(Everyone says things like “Wait a second” “hold on a minute”)

Terra: What the heck are you even saying?

Kei: I don’t get it.

Ohse: I’ve made up my mind!

Iori: Hold on, why are you so excited? Isn’t that out of character for you?

Ohse: I’m a piece of shit. I’ll go fuck off now.

Ohse: Excuse me--

(Everyone pulls Ohse back once more yelling at him to wait and not leave)

Rikai: Ohse-kun, I ask that you please listen to me carefully.

Rikai: We have never once considered your presence to be a nuisance.

Ohse: Eeh!?

Kei: Don’t just decide things on your own, dumbass.

Terra: Talking with you is fun. You have taste.

Amahiko: Not many people are as sexy as you.

Iori: I want to serve you more. Stay with us.

Rikai: Ohse-kun, I can’t tell you how much your very existence has saved my life.

Fumiya: Well, he has the freedom to leave the house anytime he wants.

Terra: Shut up Ito Fumiya.

Ohse: Y-you guys… Are you serious?

Ohse: Is it really okay for a piece of shit like me to live with you all?

Amahiko: Of course.

Kei: Duh, yeah.

Ohse: …

Iori: Ohse-san.

Terra: Ghostie.

Ohse: I-I understand now! I see how it is!

Everyone: Huh?

Ohse: I’m just everyone’s shitty bicycle that you guys use to make terrible jokes about!

Rikai: Excuse me?

Ohse: I knew it, I’m trash!

Ohse: I’ll fuck off now.

Ohse: Everyone, thankyouallverymuch.

Everyone: Hah!?

Ohse: Really, Itrulyamsograteful.

Iori: What? Those weren’t even real words.

(Everyone pulls Ohse back once more yelling at him to wait and not leave again)

Rikai: Ohse-kun, why are you doing this?

Ohse: I’m scared!

Everyone: Huh?

Ohse: Why are you guys being so nice to me? Are you all out of your minds?

Ohse: I’m so happy here, but this happiness scares me.

Ohse: I can’t handle it anymore.

Amahiko: Ohse-san?

Ohse: One day you’ll all just hate me so much and you’ll just drop me! Don’t you get it!? It’s ALWAYS been like that!

Kei: You…

Fumiya: Alright. I get it, Ohse.

Iori: FUMIYA-SAN!

Fumiya:  But, this painting won’t do. I’m not gonna accept it.

Ohse: Eh?

Terra: After all, it’s not good enough.

Kei: ‘s real bad.

Iori: Why would you make something like this?

Amahiko: It’s not sexy.

Rikai: This is rubbish.

Ohse: Wh-What are you guys…?

Fumiya: There’s only six people in this picture.

Fumiya: Ohse, you’re not in it.

Fumiya: Please don’t just leave us with this shitty, lonely painting to remember you by.

Ohse: Th-thats…

Ohse: Is it really okay for a crappy guy like me to stay with you guys?

Everyone: Mmhm.

Ohse: Do you r-really mean it?

Everyone: Mmhm!

Ohse: Do you really, really mean it?

Everyone: Mmhm!!

Ohse: Do you really, really, really mean it?

Everyone: Mmhm!!!

Ohse: Do you really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really--

Kei: SHUT THE HELL UP--!!!

Kei: We already told you we mean it!!

Ohse: …

Amahiko: That’s why, we beg of you, Ohse-san…

Ohse: !

Amahiko: Please don’t suddenly leave home without discussing things first.

Amahiko: I was miserable without you.

Ohse: Uugh..!

Terra: It was lonely, y’know?

Iori: I was a little depressed…

Ohse: Uuu..!!

Rikai: I thought that you hated me.

Kei: I felt kinda guilty…

Ohse: Uuu..!!!

Fumiya: I was shocked.

Everyone: We were shocked.

(Thinking to himself)

Ohse: Uuuuuwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Ohse: I fucked up again!

Ohse: I thought I won the championship for being the dumbest, biggest piece of shit ever!

Ohse: How many times has it been now, Minato Ohse?

Ohse: This is the worst. Why can’t I just live normally?

Ohse: Haaaaah…

Ohse: It’s impossible.

Ohse: You’re just nothing.

Ohse: Nothing.

Rikai: So, Ohse-kun? Are you reconsidering?

Ohse: I apologize. I’ve reconsidered.

Terra & Iori: Really!?

Fumiya: Good.

(Everyone talks amongst themselves: “Thank God!” “Good!” “Alright, great!” “Yay” etc etc)

Ohse: It’s been proven that I’m just a total piece of shit, so I’ll just die right here, right now.

Everyone: Hah!?

(Everyone besides Fumiya, who is laughing, starts yelling at Ohse to wait and to stop)

Fumiya: Hahaha, so that’s how it is.

Terra: Don’t just laugh, Ito Fumiya!

Ohse: Please let me slit my throat.

Everyone: Don’t slit your throat!

Ohse: Please let me rip my guts out.

Everyone: Don’t rip your guts out!

Ohse: Please let me tear my heart out.

Everyone: Don’t tear your heart out!

Ohse: Don’t stop me!

Ohse: I’m just a big piece of shit!

Ohse: I really hate myself!

Ohse: I can’t forgive myself!

Ohse: UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

CHARISMA BREAK: SUCCESS

Minato Ohse

The snow on the palm of my hand felt cold What little warmth was there disappeared Finally, this life will cease to be I will quietly close my eyes "But... as I look closely at the color of the snow, I'm starting to think that this is the true white. How very beautiful it is." I'm alone again, staring up at the darkness Every time I look in the mirror, I am sick of what I see Living for the sake of someone else, I just can't do it I want to disappear I don't want to be here anymore I saw a light In a snow night In a world that was so warm around me I saw your smile I see myself And I feel ashamed Why do I not want myself Can you hear me? This voice of mine is disappearing My memories are like snow that melts in the palm of your hand And it hurts just a little bit I can't be like anybody else

#67 七夕 ～天彦星と依央利姫～ (Tanabata ~Amahikoboshi and Iorihime~) Superhuman Share House Story 『CHARISMA』

TL Notes:

This episode is a parody/retelling of the story of Tanabata that occurs every July 7th in Japan. From wikipedia:  It celebrates the meeting of the deities Orihime and Hikoboshi (represented by the stars Vega and Altair respectively). According to legend, the Milky Way separates these lovers, and they are allowed to meet only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month of the lunisolar calendar.

Amanogawa (天の川) is the Milky Way. The literal translation is “river of the heavens.”

As a bonus, here’s some official art.

Watch the track here.

Fumiya: Once upon a time, a loooong time ago, there was a lovely couple by the names of Amahikoboshi and Iorihime.

Iori: Amahikoboshi-sama!

Iori: You look even sexier today!

Iori: Iyaaaaa~~! Ruriho!

Fumiya: However, the two were stuck in a toxic relationship thanks to a slave contract.

Iori: Do you wanna pull my collar?

Iori: Do you need my organs?

Iori: Use me as you please! Order me around!

Amahiko: Eeehhh…

Kei: That guy looks like he’s totally not into it.

Ohse: How awful.

Terra: Scary.

Fumiya: Rikai, the Emperor of the Heavens, appeared before them.

Rikai: You two are unhealthy!

Kei: Who the hell is this?

Fumiya: Emperor Rikai separated the lovers by blowing them across the banks of the Amanogawa.

Rikai: Order is All Green.

Iori: NOOOOOOOOO!!

Rikai: Rightfulness is GLORIOUUUUUUUUUUS!!

Kei: Wait, really, who even is this guy?

Terra: You’re so quick to come out and ruin things ‘cus you’re so selfish. You’ve never even been in love!

Rikai: Guuh…!

Fumiya: Iorihime grieved over her lost lover.

Iori: I can’t serve him like this…

Iori: WAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!

Iori: Amahikoboshi-sama!!

Fumiya: Once more, Emperor Rikai appears, unable to look away.

Rikai: How pitiful…

Rikai: This is just too much, you poor thing!

Rikai: Won’t someone do something about this!?

Kei: Hey, wasn’t it your fault in the first place!?

Terra: This guy is crazy!

Fumiya: Emperor Rikai allowed the two to meet, however, only on one day of the year-- July 7th.

Rikai:  I’m so kind! Aren’t I such a nice guy!?

Kei & Terra: This guy’s got some screws loose.

Fumiya: And that is the story of Tanabata.

Fumiya: Then they lived happily ever after.

Kei & Terra: Happily NEVER after.

Iori: Guh.

Iori: Iorihime was not satisfied at all.

Everyone: Eh?

Ohse: There’s more.

Iori: My pride as a devoted slave will not allow me to serve only once a year.

Iori: For Amahikoboshi-sama’s wellbeing, I'll go above and beyond and swim across the Amanogawa.

Everyone: Eehh!?

Iori: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!

Iori: HOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!

Iori: AMAHIKOBOSHI-SAMA!!

Kei: Holy shit!

Terra: She’s actually going! Scary!

Ohse: This is bad--

Rikai: Muhahahahahaha.

Rikai: Do you really think you can just swim across the Amanogawa? How foolish!

Rikai: The distance across the river is 15 light years, meaning it is at least 500 trillion kilometers. There is no way you can swim that far.

Kei & Terra: No, she’ll make it!

Terra: Hurry up and do something about it!

Kei: Don’tcha get it? She’s feral as hell!

Iori: Selflessness! Contribution!! SERVICE!!

Ohse: That’s not selfless.

Kei: Ah, she made it!

Terra: Scary.

Ohse: Crap.

Iori: A-Amahikoboshi-samaaaa…

Amahiko: Geh!

Iori: I swam across the Amanogawa to see you once more…

Iori: I just need you to sign this document--

Amahiko: Hhhhhhh…

Kei: Don’t do it Amahikoboshi!

Terra: You can’t sign it! You don’t know what’s in that contract!

Ohse: Good luck, don’t lose!

Kei: Ya gotta drop her!

Terra: Cut her off!

Kei & Terra: Run away! You can’t sign it!

Ohse: Break up. Break up. Break up.

Kei: Ya absolutely can’t! That girl is bad news! Cut that shit off!

Amahiko: Iorihime…

Iori: Yes?

Amahiko: … As you wish.

Iori: Yaaaaaaaay!

Kei, Terra, & Ohse: Dumbass!!

Fumiya: Suddenly, Emperor Rikai appeared.

Kei: Emperor Rikai-sama!

Ohse: We’ve been waiting for you!

Terra: We’re counting on you!

Rikai: Order is All Green. Again.

Iori: NOOOOOOOOO!!

Fumiya: Iorihime was sent flying, far, far away to the end of the world. Even she couldn’t reach Amahikoboshi from all the way over there.

Fumiya: After that, they were no longer able to see each other ever again.

Ohse: I feel a little bit bad for her.

Kei: Prolly for the best.

Iori: Guh.

Iori: On the contrary, Iorihime was very pleased with this outcome.

Everyone: Hah?

Iori: The real happiness that the princess can receive is NOT from meeting Amahikoboshi-sama, but through the constant suffering from all the outrageous obstacles, struggling against the perpetual subjection of endless burdens that strain her entire body.

Everyone: Hieeeeeee--

Fumiya: Hahaha.

Iori: July 7th! Whenever you look at the night sky, just remember that I’m always approaching! You better be looking forward to it!

Iori: Hahahahah! RURIHOOOOOOOO!!

Fumiya: And that’s the end of our little story on Tanabata.

Fumiya: Hahaha. It’s pretty funny.

Kei, Terra, & Ohse: Not at all!

Fumiya: By the way, the CD also includes an advanced lottery ticket for the live show asdfasdfaisjdfoja--

Iori: Live show?

Terra: What the heck is he saying?

Fumiya: B-but!!

Rikai: W-what is wrong?

Fumiya: Without a doubt, we’ll be back.

Fumiya: Make sure you tune back in when we do.

Fumiya: Don’t forget us.

Fumiya: So please, wait for us to come back.

Fumiya: You guys better promise me…!?

Ohse: Wh… What is this…

Amahiko: He’s so desperate, like never before.

Kei: He passed out.

Rikai: What awful snoring!

Rikai: If you’re this tired, it can’t be helped, you really do need the break!

Everyone: Can’t be helped!

Rikai: There’s no other choice!

Everyone: No other choice!

Rikai: Acquitted of all charges!

Everyone: Acquitted!

Everyone: WAAAAAAA~~~~~~~

Everyone: Goodnight~

Fumiya: Goodnight.

Fumiya: Guess I’ll sleep for now.

Yasumi Charge: Success

1???: So, this is the Charisma House

1???: Hmmm, looks awfully stylish.

2???: Seems like it was originally some sort of vacation home.

1???: You sure you really wanna do this?

2???: If we let these freaks get away with this, our very nation would be at risk.

2???: We have to round them all up.

1???: That’s rough, huh...

2???: Ah, here comes our leader.

Rikai: S-Saru! Wait for me!

Rikai: Where did everyone else go?

Rikai: If we don’t hurry, the fireworks will start.

Rikai: Saru, we need to get going. We have to find everyone else.

Kei: Don’t worry bout it, it’s not like they’re kids.

Kei: Why do we even have to stay together?

Kei: They can all take care of themselves.

Rikai: The fireworks will start any second now, we were supposed to see them together!

Kei: What’re ya so desperate for?

Rikai: …!

Rikai: …

Rikai: That over there…

Kei: Hm?

Rikai: I see, so everyone just buys it and eats it on the spot…

Kei: Hah?

Rikai: Is… that okay?

Kei: What is?

Rikai: I mean… Is it sanitary? Is it really okay to eat it like that?

Kei: No one cares bout the little stuff like that, man.

Rikai: Is that… a lottery?

Rikai: Only 500 yen per try? Can you really win such luxurious prizes with just that much?

Rikai: You can’t make a profit like that. What is going on here?

Kei: No one ever wins that kinda stuff anyways.

Rikai: Eh?

Kei: I know cus when I was a kid, I used to help look after them. Pretty smart trick, too.

Rikai: Is that not a scam!?

Kei: Haah?

Rikai: And they do it so brazenly in front of all these people.

Kei: What’re ya on about?

Rikai: W-well... That’s because…

Rikai: This is all normal, isn’t it?

Kei: ..?

Rikai: This is just how things are normally done here. I understand.

Rikai: Surely I must seem crazy.

Rikai: Isn’t that right?

Kei: Rikai. There’s nothin’ wrong with ya.

Kei: You’re cool. Maybe a little too cool.

Kei: Come on.

Rikai: Eh?

Kei: Whatdya wanna eat? I’ll spot ya.

Rikai: Eh? Ah, no thank you, I don’t eat that kind of food.

Kei: Just eat it. It’s good.

Kei: We’ll do the lottery too.

Rikai: E-eh, but I thought you couldn’t win? That’s a waste of money.

Kei: We’re still gonna do it.

Rikai: Why?

Kei: It’s fine, just do it. Ya gotta try.

Rikai: …

Kei: Come on, let’s go.

Rikai: …

Kei: What’re ya standin’ around for?

Rikai: I don’t know what to do…

Kei: Hah?

Rikai: Well it’s like… it’s as if we’re…

Rikai: F-friends.

Kei: Pfft-

Kei: AHAHAHA!

Kei: Friends, huh?

Rikai: Why are you laughing?

Kei: HAHAHA-- I-I can’t, no more-- You’re way too funny, man.

Rikai: W-why!?

Kei: AHAHAHA

Rikai: We probably won’t win anything, is that okay?

Kei: Dumbass, ya better hope ya win.

Rikai: Eh?

Kei: Whose money didya think we’re usin’, anyways?

Rikai: Wait but, you said there was a trick, and we couldn’t win! What do you mean? Eh--

Iori: …

Ohse: Not here…

Ohse: Where did everyone go?

Ohse: We have to hurry, the fireworks will-

Ohse: Oh. Io-kun?

Iori: Eh-

Ohse: Is there something wrong?

Iori: Eh-- ooouuahh!

Iori: Nothing!

Iori: Gee, I wonder where everyone went?

Iori: I better go find them.

Iori: The yukatas came out pretty good, but the geta were a complete failure, huh?

Iori: Your feet must hurt, I’m sorry. Stay right here, I’ll go look for them.

Ohse: Wait!

Iori: Oh- what’s wrong?

Ohse: The candied apples.

Iori: Huh?

Ohse: You want to eat one, don’t you? You were looking at them just now.

Iori: Huuuh? W-what do you mean?

Ohse: Aren’t you going to buy one?

Iori: No way.

Iori: There’s no time, I have to go look for everyone else.

Ohse: Don’t worry about the others.

Iori: I’m gonna go look for them.

Ohse: No! Buy the apples!

Iori: O-Ohse-san?

Iori: Wh-wha-

Iori: Ohse-san! Hold on--!

Amahiko: The others aren’t here, huh.

Amahiko: The more beautiful a bird is, the harder it is to find once you lose sight of it.

Terra: How nostalgic, I’m glad that we all decided to come here.

Terra: Doesn’t this place remind you of your childhood?

Amahiko: Eh?

Terra: When I was younger, I used to buy a ton of masks. I really loved them. 

Terra: Even when I got home, I’d wear them all day. And the next day, and the day after that.

Terra: One day, I was told off. They said that I was weird and that I needed to stop…

Terra: Eventually, I threw them away.

Terra: Let’s get going.

Amahiko: Terra-san…

Terra: Hm?

Amahiko: This kind of place doesn’t particularly remind me of anything.

Terra: Amahiko…

Amahiko: I--

Rikai: Fumiya-san, please enlighten us.

Rikai: Why did you choose us?
