"Age doesn't matter" 12

Dad!Bakugo x F!Babysitter!Teacher!Reader

01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

But before Katsuki could close the gap,

“I’m here! With the gang- “

Katsuki immediately pulled away causing him to slip and fall flat on the floor while Y/n, who just quickly turned around and acted as if nothing happened, completely ignoring Katsuki.

Y/n knew how precious Katsuki took care of his image especially in front of his friends, so she threw a wet rag on the floor beside him making it look like as if he’s wiping the floor.

“Heyaa kiddooo!” Denki beamed almost jumping at Kazui.

Eijiro who was smiling while looking around followed by Sero and Mina.

“Hey kid, where’s your dad?” Eijiro said as he ruffles Kazui’s head who smiled up at him while Sero shut the door behind.

“Papa is with Ms. Y/n in the kitchen.” Kazui giggled as Denki picked him up.

“Oho, a woman.” Mina playfully said nudging Sero who grinned.

“I think I heard her name before.” Denki grinned carrying Kazui in his arms.

“How have you been, Zuiiii.” Mina grinned as she squishes Kazui’s cheeks.

“Haha alright, enough of that.” Eijiro shakes his head as he makes his way to the kitchen where he found Katsuki seemingly wiping the floor while you are washing the dishes. Both red?

“Heya guys?” Eijiro said confusedly as he approaches them.

“Who fucking said you could just barge in, hah!” Katsuki stood up, being careful not to slide again as he held the wet rag.

“Hahaha whoah, calm down.” Eijiro chuckled. “Hey there Y/n!” He waved.

Y/n only nods at him, face still red as Eijiro watches her.

Suspicious.

“Oi don’t ignore me! Pikachu! Put Kazui down!”

“So, you’re the teacher Eijiro has been talking about.” Mina giggled beside you while she held both your hands.

She’s interesting, you thought.

“You’re cute.” Denki winked as he was about to pick another french fries from the bowl on the coffee table. “You single?” HE asked before popping the fries in his mouth.

“Oi.” Katsuki growled, “Back the fuck off.”

“Calm down man, you don’t have to be so possessive” Eijiro put a hand in front of Katsuki who was about to beat the shit out of Denki.

“Maybe they’re dating.” Sero snickered and took a gulp of his drink. “Let her another though.” Sero smirked.

“Guys stop it hahaha.” Eijiro laughed still holding the angry Katsuki.

Y/n just sweat dropped. So, these are his friends. His trusted one.

“Ms. Y/n, I want juice.”

Y/n was brought out from her thought when she felt Kazui tug her shirt. “Of course, sweetie.”

What Y/n didn’t know was this action was being watched.

She excused herself from the group and guided Kazui way to the kitchen where let him open the fridge where his juices were. “Here!” Kazui jumped happily.

“Mhm, I wonder.” Y/n faked thinking making Kazui look at her. “Did anyone forget to offer his juice? I remember teaching about sharing.” Y/n’s lips turned into a small smirk as she watched Kazui look down on his juice. Unexpectedly, Kazui ran from the kitchen to where his uncles and aunt were. He stood by Eijiro’s seat first before tugging his shirt, trying to get his attention.

“Unlce Kiri. Do you want some orange juice?” Kazui asked while holding the juice in his hand.

Eijiro smiled at this. “Sure buddy!”

Kazui took Eijiro’s hand and placed the cold juice box on it before running back to the kitchen leaving the chuckling Eijiro.

When Kazui came back, he was holding two juice boxes with both his hands and this time, asked Mina and Sero. Both adults giggled about how adorable Kazui was. After placing the juice boxes in their hands, Kazui then again ran to the kitchen and offered Denki who hugged him and accepted the beverage. This went unnoticed by Katsuki who was sitting confusedly whilst keeping an eye on his kid who’s sharing his drink.

“Oi.” Katsuki called out.

“Papa, do you want one?” Kazui was fumbling his fingers as he asked his father. When he heard him say sure, Kazui went to the kitchen where Y/n was just waiting for him all the time. Before he could open the fridge, he was stopped by Y/n.

“Kazui-chan. You’re all out of juices.” Y/n said sadly as she kneels to Kazui’s height holding his juice.

“B-but. P-papa..” Kazui’s lips started quivering. He wanted to share with his father as well but now it seems impossible. “I-I can give him mine.”

Y/n smiled at this. “Are you sure?” She asked.

Kazui nodded enthusiastically as we wiped his tears away. He asked Y/n for his juice, who gave it to him and watched Kazui run to the living room again.

“Papa..” Kazui called out, catching Katsuki’s attention.

“What is it?” Katsuki picked Kazui up and sat him on his lap.

“This is my juice.” Kazui pouted “I’m giving you mine because I wanted to share.” Kazui looked at his father as he held out his hands holding the juice box.

Katsuki’s heart melted at this. Of course, he won’t show it. “You can have it.” Katsuki said ruffling Kazui’s hair.

“But what about you?” Kazui asked looking up at his father.

“I’ll buy my own.” Katsuki said.

Kazui poked his juice box with the straw and offered it to Katsuki who blinked at it. Shaking his head, he took a few sips. “There, better?” He asked Kazui who responded nodding his head.

Y/n emerges from the kitchen right on time to witness the father and son interaction. She smiled at this.

Kazui wriggled out from his father’s grasp and made his way to Y/n.

The group was now watching him. “Ms. Y/n, you too!” Kazui said holding his juice upward, trying to reach Y/n’s height.

Denki and Mina almost spilled their juices, Eijiro covered his mouth and Sero was hiding his laughter.

Katsuki was red though as he kept his eyes on them.

“A-ah. N-no. I’m fine.” Y/n tried refusing Kazui.

“Please!!” Kazui insisted.

Y/n only sighed. With a shaking hand, she tucked her hair to her ear as she leaned down and placed the straw in her lips, and took a small sip before straightening up, smiling at Kazui as she tried to hide her red face. “There!”

An indirect kiss.

Is what Katsuki thought as he looked away, trying to hide his now reddening face.

“Don’t fucking barged in next time!” Katsuki slammed the door shut.

Mina, Denki and Sero left since they all still have hero duties tomorrow. Eijiro decided to stay behind though.

“The fuck you want now.” Katsuki said as he sat on the sofa in front of Eijiro who was playing with Kazui.

“Language bro.” Ejiro frowned but smiled anyway. “Kazui, can go with Ms. Y/n for now? Your dad and I need to talk about something. We’ll play later, okay?”

Kazui nodded and sat beside Y/n who was preparing everyone a snack at the dining table.

“I just wanted to apologize in person, because. Ya know.” Eijiro scratched the back of his head.

Katsuki wasn’t even looking at Eijiro as he spoke.

“It’s not my problem. Not a matter I should be concerned about but I-“

“You’re a good friend. Eijiro.” Katsuki looked at Eijiro who was stunned by his tone of voice.

“W-what?”

“I have to admit.” Katsuki started looking away. “I would keep running away from this problem. I couldn’t handle it.” Katsuki then turns his gaze to Kazui. He was laughing because of something you said. “I couldn’t let Kazui know even though I know he deserves to know this.” He scowled. “He doesn’t deserve to know what kind of a mother he has.”

“But he still needs to know. After all-“

“I know, I know. You don’t have to tell me.” Katsuki tsked.

“What would you do now, then?” Eijiro said sitting down as he looked at Kazui. “Now that you’re officially a single dad.”

Once he heard this Katsuki looked at you.

He knows what to do but doesn’t know where to begin. He needs to be certain of it first.

I'll try updating as soon as I can! For now, part 12 is here! Enjoooy!

have any of you read “Dancing Girl?” gosh, it just made me sad. Mori Ougai is a really good author haha, hahaha. hah… h-

…

yeah i’m relating this to bsd! Mori. BITE ME!! ahem. so in this essay i will be talking about Elise and Mori’s relationship. i’ve already established i don’t see her as his “wife” or the object of his sexual desires, and i’ve also mentioned i like the “Elise is his daughter,” way of seeing things, however … well, there’s more than just that.

1) Elise represents his inner child

2) Elise preserves the memory of a dead lover and is his “partner”

3) Elise is a child-figure to him

those numbers will be reused in that order to mean the same thing later, but first, background and “Dancing Girl!”

so i think that, within the definition of his and Elise’s relationship, Mori embodies Toyotarou from “Dancing Girl” more than Kanei from “Vita Sexualis” (i think i learned which type of media went in italics and which sort in quotes some time in third grade, but it’s been entirely too long and therefore i’ve forgotten all of it and you’ll have to excuse my poor grammar if im messing it up). why, you may ask? well, first of all, Elise is literally from that novel. second of all, i’ve just skimmed vita sexualis (- an asexual) while “Dancing Girl” managed to catch my attention a lot more. plus, Mori was one of the characters that Asagiri explicitly stated he wanted to add in, and we all know just how evil Asagiri Kafka can be when he feels like it.

… why is the space so long ? why are these spaces different sizes?? this is really bugging me … but whatever, i’ll try my best to ignore it … (nevermind it looks perfectly normal when i post it i guess it’s just a. draft thing)

ahem, so, in “Dark Era,” Mori basically goes “damn Dazai you’re suicidal as hell! you remind me of myself hahah!” and i feel like that’s pretty concrete evidence Mori Did Not have a happy childhood (i mean, duh, considering he was trigger-happy to friendly fire as an important military man at 20 some years old) and was likely suicidal in the past too, to some extent. in that sense, the chains that tie Dazai down, if they’re Odasaku’s last words, are the Port Mafia for Mori. he cannot die as long as he’s sane and capable of leading the PM, because he’s basically the very embodiment of it.

⚠️SPOILERS FOR “DANCING GIRL!”⚠️

alright, onto “Dancing Girl.” i’ll give you a quick rundown. it’s basically about this college dude (25 or so) (haha that reminds me of the, “am i the asshole?” posts. i (M26) just fell in love with a girl (F18) of whom i’ve known since she was a minor and i was still an adult. i got her pregnant by some time after she became of-age, then i left her to pursue my career. am i the asshole?) (godamn it tai you just spoiled the whole novel) (i’ll put a spoiler warning up somewhere in the beginning) (bear with me) with depression who falls in love with a… looks at the parenthesis and sighs deeply.

he doesn’t see any point in anything because his life was just a glorified projection of his mother and school’s desires, so he starts being a little more hedonistic and learning about the arts instead of becoming a lawyer like they wanted him to. he meets Elise (her name) and basically immediately feels attracted to her in some way he can’t put into words (she’s 17ish when they meet btw) and starts teaching her things and basically acting like a sponsor to her. they don’t start getting romantic and/or sexual until some unsaid period of time passes. now i personally choose to interpret this as her turning 18 before they do all that stuff, but since it never explicitly says, well… yeah. Toyotarou is used to living his life in a cushy-ish manner as a child prodigy and what have you, but he eventually gives that away to live with Elise. that being said, his “giving it away” was less of a choice to be with her and more of a digression from a perfect machine into a person with his own stunted feelings.

she makes him satisfied, and he makes her very deeply happy, but eventually he chooses his career over her and she goes crazy because of how betrayed she feels- she really deeply loved him, after all. he pays her mother enough to keep her afloat and to take care of the baby he left in her stomach, and went back to Japan without another word. Toyotarou! you bastard!! (it’s not like he was without remorse, though)

anyway back to the numbers.

1) Mori’s past is pure speculation, but he was a military doctor ranked quite high as a very young man, one that didn’t hesitate to shoot someone on his own side no less (like i said) so it’s probably a given he didn’t have a stress-free childhood. this is an excerpt from “Dancing Girl,” in which i think explains the possibility that Elise represents the angry child inside of Mori that he never got to let out as a real child.

2) given what i said above, this also feels pretty self-explanatory. we basically only know two things about Mori, that he would do anything for the greater good (which is usually the PM/yokohama), and that he longs for a “partner” who will understand and not leave him. it’s possible Fukuzawa filled that role for a while, but Mori is a little unhinged and did some bad things out of obsession, which severed their ties because of Fukuzawa’s innate nature. Mori has called Elise his partner (tsuma, AKA person who stays by my side) (i know nobody says tsuma and means it that way but considering “Yatsugare san” exists (yes i’m looking straight at you, AKUTAGAWA RYUUNOSUKE), i wouldn’t put it past Asagiri to use tsuma in that manner) before and acts dramatic as all hell when she dies. it’s almost like … someone called Elise really DID die before?

3) this requires the least explanation. we already know Mori likes children in a non-pedo way, shown by things like how he helped Atsushi gather his courage in Anne’s room (which did nothing for him, btw) and his profession in the beast AU. but what sort of mafia don has a cute daughter?? that’s like ASKING for her to be killed. so Elise, the product of Vita Sexualis, is the next best thing he can have!

Elise also is a lot like the Toyotarou, while Mori acts more like Elise when they’re together. it’s just something i noticed watching the two interact in BSD and DG. the whole idea of having no autonomy is kinda Elise’s (BSD) thing, isn’t it?

my phone is now 20% and i have no charger. i have probably 69 viruses and also since i have apps like tiktok, wechat, and discord… you can imagine how much this poor device suffers, but i regret nothing. yahoo! hope you enjoyed my rant~

#bungou stray dogs #bsd #dancing girl #a german dancing girl specifically named Elise #bsd elise #bsd mori #mori ougai #Mori Elise #can i call her Mori Elise?? i mean she’s basically his daughter anyway so #Mori and Elise #toyotarou #god they make me sad #Mori is so traumatized and so babygirl #not all would understand #anyway i’m getting carried away even in the hashtags.. is this who we are???#AH MY PHONE IS AT 5% WHAT THE HELL.#okay i’m posting it now i hope this gets some attention because otherwise i might go crazy /j

Day 12 - bites/nibbles

Baizhu x Changsheng

This is completely platonic because Changsheng is a damn snake. We’re better than this guys why do I have to clarify these things😭

“I think that was the lassst patient of the day, Baizhu.”

“Me too, Changsheng,” Baizhu talks to his snake companion as he waves Herbalist Gui goodbye as the man leaves the pharmacy for the day.

“Ssso what now? Do we clossse ssshop?”

“Now, now, you know we have to check the stock of herbs before we end the shift.”

Changsheng hisses under her breath. She hoped that Baizhu forgot about that part- it’s so boring.

“Changsheng, behave.”

“Hmph, I am.”

Baizhu walks to the storage room of the pharmacy, taking notes of the stock at the end of the day.

“That’s…thirty violetgrass…here’s seven Qixing- wait…seven? How…?”

“Qiqi sssaid sssomething about SSShenhe arriving for more herbsss to sssnack on.”

“Ah, you’re right.”

Changsheng continues waiting impatiently as Baizhu continues taking stock.

“Fifteen silk flowers- ah!”

Baizhu flinches, jerking his head to the side.

Changsheng snickers, “hshshs, sssorry~”

Baizhu sighs, “Changsheng you know the rule.”

“I know, I know, but sssometimesss I can’t help myssself.”

“What’s gotten into you, then, hm? It’s rare that you ever- hey!”

Changsheng makes a sudden dive for the certain spot behind Baizhu’s ears and the pharmacist raises his hands to block the attack.

“Sssorrry, I think I just slipped, hshshs~”

“Sure, you did. Can I continue my stock intake now? I still need to do the top shelf.”

“Yesss, be my guessst.”

Baizhu talks with a hint of sarcasm in his voice, “thanks, how kind of you.”

Baizhu raises his arms to take down the boxes of herbs from the top shelf.

Changsheng dives into Baizhu’s shirt, slithering all over his torso.

“Ah- hah-! Changsheng!”

Baizhu clamps his arms back down, hugging himself as he tries to catch the sneaky snake.

“Yesss?”

“Stop that-! Ah! Hahaha!”

“My kind hasss poor eyesssight…where isss the way out…? Isss it here?”

Changsheng wiggles her tail underneath Baizhu’s arms.

“Wait- hahahahah! Changsheng- hahahaha!”

“What isss the matter?”

“Changshahahahaheng! St- hahahahaha!”

“Ah, sssorry…maybe thisss isss the exit, then?”

The snake slithers downward, out of Baizhu's shirt and onto his stomach.

With Changsheng now exposed, Baizhu tries to grab the snake but she coils around his wrists, holding them together. Changsheng nibbles around the perimeter of Baizhu’s belly button.

The pharmacist wheezes, “hah-! Wait- hahahaha! Ah- hahahaha!”

“What wasss that, Baizhu?”

“Changshen- gah! Hahahahaha! Stop- hihihit! Hahahaha!”

The snake starts nibbling the inside of the Baizhu’s belly button and the pharmacist falls over, collapsing onto the ground.

Changsheng stops immediately, “isss everything okay?”

“Ah…haha…I just…lost my breath…aha…sorry about that…”

“No, it’sss fine. I wasss the one that went a bit overboard.”

Baizhu takes a deep breath as Changsheng takes her usual place around his neck once more.

“What was...all of that for, if I may ask?”

“I wasss bored.”

“Is that all?”

“Well…I alssso don’t want to be here anymore. I’m ssso sssleepy…”

“Aha, well, I suppose that I’ll let you sleep then…just don’t do that again, how’s that sound?”

“Hm, fine, thanksss…”

Baizhu sighs with a smile, “no problem, but you could’ve asked to take a nap, instead of going through all this.”

“Hehe, maybe I wanted to sssee you sssmile.”

Baizhu clears his throat with a small blush, “ahem- I see…well, thank you…I suppose I needed that pick me up…I’ve been thinking a lot lately.”

“I know you have…but it’sss inevitable, ssso why dwell on it?”

“I suppose I just can’t help myself sometimes.”

“Well, next time talk to me about it, ssso it’ll be lessss daunting, okay?”

“Hmm…perhaps- ah!”

Baizhu feels a nibble at his collarbone, “okay-! I will-! Changsheng!”

Changsheng snickers, “hshshs, very good. Now hurry up with the ssstock ssso we can go.”

“Of course.”

Limitations

A short skit between Hex and Ink

———————————————————————

“…Hey, Hex! Can we talk? Just for a second?”

“Huh? Oh! Haha, of course! I’m just surprised you thought I WOULDN’T want to!”

“Haha, yeah, it was a little funny to ask!…”

“Hah…yeah… why… exactly did you seem a little unsure about talking to me? (His eyes are doing that thing again… makes his emotions such a dead giveaway!)”

“Alright, well…hmm… you know we’re pals and all, right buddy?”

“Pssh, why wouldn’t I? You’re acting so weird, man…”

“Well! Well, uh… I need a favor from you. A nice, simple favor between friends. Can you do that?”

“Favors? Really? Well alright, I guess one teeny tiny favor couldn’t hurt! Just don’t make me try to calm one of Error’s tantrums! Hahahah! Alright, alright…Watcha got?”

“So, I need you to- yes? -do a better job of- better? I can do better, ok -not messing with the- what? -stability of the multiverse?”

"...Pfft, haha, okay, okay, uh, You're kidding me, right? You're usually better with jokes, Ink! This is just sad."

"Hah...I...I'm not joking, Hex... I uh...I mean it. This is becoming a problem. You're a great variant, you really are. Just... your whole antics are a little...tiring. I don't think I can keep asking you to tone it down without making my own tone serious for once. That make sense?"

"..."

"Hey, don't go all silent on me! You've got to admit that what you're doing isn't, you know, cool? At least to the Multiverse and me? Especially in the long term?"

"...yeah right... 'Least I'm not actually, you know, destroying AUs or genuinely hurting anybody. I thought you were on board with my shenanigans, but now you're just acting like DREAM!"

"The 'shenanigans' that you pull can cause entire AUs to go offscript... or even... self-destruct... Don't you realize that!?"

"THE LITTLEST things can set these places off! What, are we ruining a timeline right NOW just by being here!? Haha, I mean, come ON! Can't a little fun be present in this world drowned in rules and balance?"

"...It's not fun having to clean up messes that people like YOU make, Hex."

"So what? Not like cleaning up messes is going to stop them from being made. Why don't any of you realize that?"

"...Hex, you- No, no. YOU know that, don't you? You know this is all a lost cause, and yet you still choose to TRY and make sense of nonsense."

"..."

"...Well? How close am I? 70%? 80? Full one-hundo? Deciphering people like you is fun, you know! You guys are like Rubix cubes! Haha!"

"...Pfft....Hahaha!"

"There we go! Finally, snapping out of that balance talk... It feels good to laugh, doesn't it?"

"...Ah...Hex, you really do know how to irritate me..."

———————————————————————

This isn't the first time Ink has had to talk with Hex about stuff like this. Hex knows what he's doing, but nothing Ink says is likely going to stop him. I do wonder... when is enough enough?

[TRANSCRIPT] CANIS MINOR

2:09 [ the screen starts off red with ominous music, a white silhouette fades in and the screen cuts to black]

2:48 [ the screen fades back in and we’re on a train, the black silhouette( X or 🔋) is now talking but it’s not known what he’s actually saying, it sounds like beeping ]

🔋: ・・・・・

3:44 [ live text appears then on the screen, also being temporarily obscured before it becomes clear, his speech is still unclear at this moment ] 4:29 🔋: “WELL THIS ADVICE FOR NOW, CAN YOU UNDERSTAND? HOW INTERESTING. THIS IS THE LAST THING THAT I’VE EXPECTED. I’VE BEEN HERE FOREVER. TELL ME, WHO ARE ALL OF YOU? YOU STILL CAN’T UNDERSTAND CAN YOU? MAKES SENSE. AFTER ALL, YOU CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT THIS WORLD IS DIGITAL. THAT MAKES IT ALL THE MUCH BETTER. AM I NOT RIGHT? HAHAHA. HAHAHA. WELL, CONSIDERING THAT YOU’RE HERE. CLOSE THE TREE HAS MADE A CONNECTION. DON’T YOU FIND THAT AMUSING? HERE, MAYBE THIS WILL BE A BIT SMOOTHER.”

6:29 [ the glitching effects lessen and his voice becomes clear ]

🔋: “Can you hear me now? Good. I don’t get often get visitors here, not one bit. So pray tell me, why are all of you here? Hah, this place? I suppose you could say it’s a sea of souls essentially, you all are aware of Elysium are you not? So, do you think Elysium is that different from your own world? It’s not. So then that begs the question, if our world is fake and your world is real what actually is the truth? What is a lie? Are you able to answer that for me? You’re not. Then let me ask you this, do you choose reality or a falsehood, or rather a truth or a lie? [ bold text flashes on screen: Truth Or Lie? ] You can’t. Fools, then allow me to explain this for you. In the end you choose a world that is one that you call reality, am I not correct? One where you can grow, but why do you choose this world? To make yourself feel better? Hmph, perhaps even a sense of entitlement? Why do you choose reality? You can come up with any reason regardless, because you’re told to. Everyone tells you to, am I not right?

9:24 You don’t actually think for yourself and neither do I but that’s the thing about life, all of us, all of our memories. If they’re accumulated experiences then doesn’t that make us who we are? Then, if you don’t have your memory then does it really matter? Who are you? You can cope with humor, you can cope by deflecting… regardless the question has been poised onto you.”

9:51 💬 Who are you?

10:06 🔋: “Who am I? Good question. My name is- [ his voice goes glitchy again but you can still tell what he’s saying, it sounds like an audio recording ] Did you know, my name is X, and he’s very cool. Can you understand me now? If you somehow hear this, kiss my ass. [ voice goes back to normal ] Did you catch that? If you couldn’t then you have yet to understand the truth, but to the previous question, tell me.. do you believe you know what’s right? Some of you may believe you know everything and the others are willing to immediately dash their own efforts, to not trust yourselves. I’m asking you a question, do you trust your own gut or not?”

11:11 💬 I don’t. / No, not really.

🔋 “You don’t? No, not really? Haha, how honest of you. But does that make you feel better about yourself? If you disagree, does that make you feel better? How self righteous. But don’t worry! I’m the same way, all humans are the same.. although, considering this state of affairs I guess I’m not too human now am I. Your intuition will fail you, you may fail yourself. [ the black bar obscuring his eyes is removed at this part, his eyes are shown swirling before returning to normal ] With that said, you don’t have much time here, you’re not supposed to be here. So, let’s make a quick discussion, what are your questions? Ask.”

12:19 💬 What are you?

🔋: “What am I? I guess you could say I’m something of an Observer, hah, not a role I wanted initially. I keep observing and observing until I get what I want. Aren’t you the same?

12:43 All humans in a way are drunk on something, ‘if I just get that then this will happen, if I just do this then I can get this.’ The same falsehoods you use to lie to yourself.”

12:59 💬 Are you warning or helping us?

🔋: “Warning or helping you? I’m using you to buy time. It’s nice, I don’t normally get visitors here.”

13:12 💬 What about Flayon?

🔋: “Hmm, Flayon? That name’s familiar, allow me to tell you a story. Are you ready? There once was a young man who took a different route, upon offered the role at the guild instead he chose not to join. In such a world there is no such thing as a Machina X Flayon, nothing at all. In fact, there are many worlds like this, for you and me. However, for some reason they’ve all been vanishing.. one by one. Do you comprehend? You don’t, do you. You don’t have much time here anyway, but this young man who rejected the offer, stifled by feelings of jealousy, pride and many other things that chewed upon his soul. He decided, why receive love there if he can receive love elsewhere? And so, he joined a church, amassing a large following. This of course is an obstacle to the guild, hah. But don’t worry, this world I speak of is not here yet, not here, not yet. But it is quite interesting, don’t you agree?”

15:38 💬 A church?

🔋: “A church? Are you telling me in your world it hasn’t been established? In the world that I’m talking of, Tempus does not exist. There is only that young man and a few others. Although, the clock ticks.. on and on, it’ll be here soon, when you least forget about it, when you least expect it, are you prepared?”

16:25 💬 How are you aware of these worlds?

🔋: “How am I aware of these different worlds? Didn’t I tell you, I’m like an observer. Why would I tell you everything anyway? To be frank, that’s none of your business. Understood? Now shut your mouth, thank you. Any more questions before I send you off?”

16:53 💬 What about data corruption?

🔋: “Data corruption? Ahh, yes. Actually, if you were to speak of that maybe that’s a familiar term that you might understand.. I am corrupted, maybe I always have been.”

17:15 💬 Is this your home?

🔋: “You could call this my home, you could. I don't want to be anywhere else.. but don’t worry, I will be making multiple stops. There are some errands I want to attend to, understood?”

17:41 💬 Who are you?

🔋: [ his voice distorts again like last time, text is on screen: YOUR INTUITION ] “Who am I? I thought I already told you my name, do you not understand? Hello? [ distortion ends ] I guess it’s up to you then to figure it out.”

17:56 💬 Who are we picking up?

🔋: “Who are we picking up? Do you still not understand what all of you are? Hm. Then allow me to throw you a bone, the word you know as Elysium, the world, is not too different from your own. Perhaps you’re already there, perhaps the world you live in is the fake one. How do you know that you’re the same you as you wake up every day? Different experiences, different lives. You have no way of knowing, you may cope as I said before via humor or perhaps even ignoring the issue.. in the end, the world will consume you, the tree will. [ a ticking sound effect plays ] Do you hear that? Time is running out.”

19:19 💬 How do you fix the world?

🔋: “How do you fix the world? Easy, you destroy the source of corruption. You’ve called for his name.. but, if you could sacrifice one life to save everyone, would you? You already know who the corruption is, take out the source and everything goes anyway.. understood? I don’t have to explain it to you do I? To spell it out? Think. Who in this world does not fit, hm. Strange, isn’t it? That someone would show up with a giant robot.. does that sound like it fits within Elysium? But, this is just a tip for now. One day I’ll need all of your help, understood? If we take out the corruption, everything will be fine. Don’t worry though, a version of him will still exist, you’re just helping me.. clean up.”

21:10 💬 You can’t. / Leave him alone.

🔋: “You can’t. Leave him alone. It’s too late for that, he’s already taken everything from me. Why does he get to have what I can’t?”

21:34 💬 Why should we trust you?

🔋: “Why should we trust you? We’re kindred spirits you and I, all of you! You’re going to help me, you already have been.”

21:57 💬 What’s your problem?

🔋: “My ‘problem’? [ his eyes swirl again ] Hahahah! That’s a good question, everything about him.. is my problem. So, bide your time, all of you can bide your time. The corruption is present within all of you too you know, you’re also not safe. None of you are. But it’s okay. Once it hits, consider it like this, if you’re in a picture book you won’t be there anymore.. but, that’s all the time I can give you. You can leave now.”

23:12 💬 What about you both get along together?

🔋: “What about you both get along together? Oh, don’t worry. We’re going to get along really well.. really well. I mean, do you really care? Some of you talk like this but he’s already been replaced once and yet you couldn’t tell the difference. Hah, So, what does that mean about your bonds? Perhaps you should join those who don’t care, those who are apathetic. You’re no different.. We’ll meet here once again. There’s at least 7 of them left, understand? And when that connection gets brighter the corruption will spread, just make sure you can get back to your own world okay?”

24:28 💬 What about the tree?

🔋: “About the tree? I’ll give you a little hint. The tree itself has been corrupted, that which wasn’t supposed to exist.. keep watch okay? This is all the time I can give you now. Yes, the ‘World Tree’. Don’t worry, some of you may remember this, some of you may not.. but, I’ll know that my goal is the same as yours now, right? Hahaha.. hahahahaha! Hah! [ his blush toggle is turned on, then his eyes swirl again ] ..I got a bit too excited. Don’t worry though, just don’t stand in my way. Let me get what I want, it’s supposed to be my life anyways. Hahahaha!”

26:10 [ the screen fades to black and the video ends ]

1724

When you’re visiting a site, do you still type ‘www.’? I don't and don't think I have in the last, like...13, 14 years.

Can you still read the time if an analogue clock doesn’t have numbers on it? Like if it's just those short lines? Sure. It'd take me a few seconds though hah.

To whom will/did you first talk about the first time you’ve had sex?�� I don't think I ever shared that particular experience with anyone. My friends and I just eventually started talking about sex and our sexual experiences gradually, like as we got older and as it became a quiet understanding that we were all doing it.

Have you ever fallen asleep while taking an exam? No. If I finish early, I was the type to keep going over my answers again and again to make sure I was satisfied with them. Sometimes I'd play with my pen or daydream or whatever, but I'd never sleep.

Tell me something ridiculous about the place or country you live in: Nobody makes enough fucking money here and that's why nobody ever moves out of their homes and that's why nobody is happy. Also, we regularly make fun of the police because they don't know how to do their jobs and think shooting solves everything. Oh and the fact that we are an extremely religious country, automatically making our culture and society a suffocatingly conservative one.

Sorry, I know you implied to name just one ridiculous thing but when I tell you the Philippines is just in itself a horrific meme of a country...

Did you know that ` is not an apostrophe? Are you guilty of using it? I know it's not an apostrophe but I've never learned what it's called either. No, I have never used that as an apostrophe.

Have you ever gave the rejection hotline number to anyone? No...that exists?

What is something you didn’t like about being thirteen? Struggling to adjust to high school.

What can you hear right now? SE SO NEON.

Do you think it’s okay for kids to have cellphones? Sure. I feel like I'm in no place to speak about this as I got my first cellphone when I was 7 haha.

Do you watch anime? If so, what are some of your favorites? I don't. I tried getting into Attack on Titan super recently but life got busy at the same time I started it so I never really was able to get invested. What I've enjoyed before, though, are Pokémon and Your Name.

A quote/funny line from the last movie you saw? Not funny, but "Private An Jun Ho!" from DP, a Korean drama I started over the weekend. Apparently in the military you need to state your name every time you're called by a senior, so that line is said 75934398420343204 times in the series.

Don’t you hate yes/no surveys? Or do you prefer the ones that make you think and explain your thoughts? I used to dislike them, but once I figured I can just say Yes/No but then also elaborate, they didn't seem so bad and boring anymore.

Do you have a favorite curse word? If so, what is it and why? Fuck. It's just applicable in so many situations and is also so flexible as a curse word hahaha.

How well would you say you do in school? Do you actually exert effort or are you naturally good at your subjects? I was a carefree student in that I would put a lot of effort in subjects I liked; do enough just to get by in subjects I don't necessarily care for but don't expect to ever fail in; and entirely not give a shit about subjects I hate, even if it means failing tests. In the end, that behavior made me an average student who faked my way to the finish line through my writing, being the one thing I'm good at.

Or do you not care at all? Why? I only started taking school seriously in junior and senior year of high school (because my dream university considered your grades in those levels as part of your overall entrance exam score); and in college (because this is when your performance actually starts to matter as far as landing jobs, and because I wanted to graduate with Latin honors).

Do you have any siblings? If so which one of them do you get along with the best? I have two siblings and get along very well with my sister.

What’s your favorite TV show? And who’s your favorite character from it? Breaking Bad will always own my heart. Fave character goes to Gus Fring.

Is there someone that you look up to? If so, who and why? I used to not believe in role models until I encountered Namjoon – RM, the leader of BTS. Now that's an example of a guy who's turned piles of chicken shit that was pelted violently towards him into perfect, pristine, delicious chicken salad. I feel like he is ARMY's unofficial therapist too lmao; he's always spewing out creative metaphors in describing life and its realities while still steering such realities to something hopeful and positive. He's a born writer, a born artist, and a born leader.

Do you take surveys on other sites besides Bzoink? I used to get my surveys from Bzoink but have never made an account on there; I've only ever openly done this here on Tumblr.

When did/will summer start for you? The warm season started in April and ended around July.

Do you have a poor eyesight? If so, what is the power of your eyes? I have horrible eyesight. I think we do the levels differently in the Philippines but in any case, the last time I had new glasses done my left eye was around 160 and my right eye at 400+.

…do you use glasses or contacts for it? Glasses. You could never get me to wear contact lens.

Have you violated any of the 10 Commandments? If so, what? I'm sure I have. A bunch.

What would you consider to be your most valued possession? Why? My ticket to Yoongi's concert, because it was the happiest day of my life.

Are you ever satisfied? Or are you one of those people who always want more? I'm a perfectionist who's trying to slow down and be satisfied with whatever it is I accomplish. Done is better than perfect.

What were you like as a kid? Too shy you could barely feel my presence anywhere.

Page 194

HARRY ANDERSON: so...

HARRY ANDERSON: um. vriska?

VRISKA: The one and o........

VRISKA: (Ughhhhhhhh)

VRISKA: I mean, yeah. That's me!!!!!!!!

HARRY ANDERSON: i've heard a lot about you. my name's harry anderson egbert.

HARRY ANDERSON: but my friends just call me harry anderson.

VRISKA: And what do incredi8ly hot and 8adass alien girls call you? ::::)

VRISKA: 8ecause there's no way I'm saying Harry Anderson every time. That's like... 8 whole letters too long.

VRISKA: From now on your name is just Harry.

HARRY: o... k?

VRISKA: Gr8.

VRISKA: So what's your deal, Harry?

VRISKA: If I had to 8et, I'd say you're the thing that pup8ed after a 8ar8aric act of human sexual intercourse 8etween John and some Lalonde or other.

HARRY: ok.

HARRY: ew.

HARRY: i do NOT want to think about that.

VRISKA: Too 8ad, chief. It's 8asically all I've 8een dealing with today.

VRISKA: "Welcome 8ack, Vriska. Your friends have spent the last who-knows-how many sweeps producing an army of freakish offspring, all while steadily getting uglier and LESS COOL."

HARRY: lol. gottem.

HARRY: but um, yeah. john and roxy are my parents.

VRISKA: Ugh, "parents".

VRISKA: I didn't care a8out all this alien shit when John first tried to tell me a8out it, and I DEFIN8TELY don't care any more.

HARRY: hahaha...

VRISKA: What?

HARRY: i don’t know, i’ve just never talked to a troll who didn’t grow up around humans.

HARRY: you sound like vrissy, but if vrissy was from like...

HARRY: ok, so have you ever seen the musical calamity jane?

HARRY: i guess you probably haven't.

HARRY: but so there's this part at the beginning, where the title character comes back from chicago, and she talks to all of the old-timey locals about how bizarre and new-fangled everything was, and

VRISKA: Godddddddd it really is like talking to teenage John all over again.

VRISKA: No I haven't seen Chastity Jane or whatever the stupid title was. It sounds like a total snooze!!!!!!!!

VRISKA: And anyway, what are you trying to say?

VRISKA: That I sound outd8ed?

VRISKA: There WERE no humans on Alternia, okay? There were no humans, and no human "musicals", in my entire UNIVERSE.

HARRY: it sounds like a horrible place. ):

VRISKA: Yeah, it 8lew so un8elieva8ly hard.

VRISKA: And while we're at it: don't compare me to Vrissy either!!!!!!!! She's no 8etter than the rest of you.

VRISKA: She's soft. I can tell.

VRISKA: None of you weenies would have survived even a day, 8ack where I came from.

HARRY: i bet i would have.

VRISKA: HAH!!!!!!!!

VRISKA: No way, kid.

VRISKA: I mean, I can tell that you think you’re hot shit, and I can respect reckless 8ravado.

VRISKA: 8ut only if you can 8ack it up. :::;)

HARRY: i can back it up.

VRISKA: Oh yeah????????

VRISKA: Ever killed any8ody????????

VRISKA: Ever even thrown a P8NCH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

HARRY: well... no.

HARRY: i mean, we've done stage fighting before, but never the real stuff.

HARRY: but i bet i could learn. i took kickboxing with my mom for a month and half when i was nine.

VRISKA: Pffffffff.

VRISKA: Well, at least you aren’t a coward. I’ve known guys softer than you, 8elieve it or not.

VRISKA: John, for instance!!!!!!!!

VRISKA: He totally freaked out the first time I told him I killed some8ody.

HARRY: haha, that sounds like my dad.

VRISKA: He came through, though. I guess. When it actually counted.

VRISKA: He was there to punch me in the face when I needed it most.

HARRY: hehe...

HARRY: ...

HARRY: wait.

HARRY: like... literally?

VRISKA: Yup!

HARRY: not to cast doubt on any of these stories about my dad that you're telling me vriska, but he's probably going to freak out a bit about this whole clown situation.

HARRY: as well as... you even being here?

VRISKA: John already knows I'm here, num8nuts!!!!!!!!

VRISKA: And as for the stuff with Gamzee,

HARRY: no, listen, i mean the fact that you're HERE here. the fact that you're involving any of the rest of us.

HARRY: my mom probably won't be happy about this either!

HARRY: i'm not allowed ONE vriska in my bedroom.

HARRY: i don't even want to THINK about how much trouble i'll be in if she finds out i had TWO of them up there.

VRISKA: Hahahahahahahaha oh my god. And you expect me to 8elieve you'd survive on Alternia?

HARRY: well, i'm not there right now!

HARRY: right now i'm in my mom's house with my girlfriend, her boyfriend, and another god damn version of my girlfriend, and all of us are probably now on the run from the fucking GOVERNMENT!!!!

VRISKA: Ooooooookay, so YOU'RE freaking out a8out it now. Cool.

HARRY: of course i am freaking out vriska!

HARRY: i'm freaking out what i think is probably a good amount about this. the fashionable amount of freaking out.

HARRY: the coolest possible amount of freaking out to be doing about the present situation, is the amount of freaking out i'm doing right now.

VRISKA: >::::|

HARRY: but my dad ISN'T cool!!! he just spent like an hour on driving me around in his car and talking about emotions and stuff.

HARRY: he's going through some kind of personal epiphany at the moment. he even shaved off his MUSTACHE before coming here.

HARRY: this is really serious, and now i'm implicated in it as well!

HARRY: you guys were at my school, so he'll realise immediately that you were trying to meet up with me!

HARRY: he's going to absolutely flip his fucking lid if he ever finds out about this!!

HARRY: or worse, it might just make him as miserable as before, and he'll be really disappointed in me, and then he'll just leave again, or... or SOMETHING!!

HARRY: and that's not to even MENTION--

BECAUSE JELLICLES CAN AND JEEEEEEELLICLES DO JELLICLES DO AND JELLICLES CAN JELLICLES CAN AND JEEEEEELLICLES

HARRY: oh fuck.

JELLICLES CAN AND JEEEEEEELLICLES DO JELLICLES DO AND JELLICLES CAN JELLICLES CAN AND JEEEEEELLICLES

HARRY: it's him.

Nijimura Audio Drama Translation

youtube

Nijimura: Oi! If you have nothing to do, then go make rounds outside!

Members: Understood!

Akashi: Nijimura-san, about the groupings of the next game–

Nijimura: Oi Akashi.

Akashi: Yes?

Nijimura: What’s up with Haizaki?

Akashi: Oh, I didn’t see him since the morning today.

Nijimura: Oh yeah? I haven’t seen him since yesterday.

Akashi: Oh.

Nijimura: That’s weird. I didn’t see him the day before yesterday either. Can you please remind me what club he was a member of?

…..THAT BASTARD!! WHAT DOES HE THINKS HE’S DOING NOT SHOWING FOR CLUB ACTIVITIES FOR THREE DAYS!? HUUHH???

Hey! Has anyone seen Haizaki in school grounds today?

Kuroko: Um, we’ve passed each other in the corridors during lunch break.

Nijimura: I see, so he came to school huh? But he’s just slacking off of club activities. Haizaki….. Today, I’m definitely NOT going to show you mercy!

Kuroko: Haizaki kun. I wonder why he won’t come to club activities.

Akashi: Who knows. But even still, he’s a member of the first string. If his unauthorized absence continues, it’s going to leave an effect on the whole team’s morale. I think it’s about time for me to warn him directly about this.

Nijimura: Oi Akashi! Kuroko! Do you guys have any idea about places Haizaki is likely to go to?

Akashi: Kuroko, can you think of something?

Kuroko: Oh yeah, I think I’ve seen him one time at a game center after practice before. I don’t know if he’s there today too though.

Nijimura: Ho, a game center huh.

[At the Game Center]

Haizaki: Right… Right… Right… Yes!! And just a little bit farther… Oh, it’s looking good! OH YES I CAUGHT IT!! COME TO ME, COME TO ME!

…Huh? Why the hell did you fall off at that place, I had you grabbed so good! What the fuck! They’re definitely making it loose on purpose!!

*starts to kick the crane machine*

Nijimura: Oi, oi. Don’t put the blame on the machine just because you suck, shithead.

Haizaki: Ha? Don’t you talk down on me. Come here and say that to my face!!

Nijimura: “Come here?” Since I’m in this place because I have some business with you, it’s actually a perfect opportunity.

Haizaki: !!!!! ….Nijimura….san

Nijimura: It’s good to know you haven’t forgotten my face and my name. So is it alright to assume you already know what I came here to tell you?

Haizaki: W-who knows?

*starts walking away*

Nijimura: I took the trouble to come all the way here to see you and you’re already leaving? That makes me sad.

Haizaki: Ha? To see me?

Nijimura: Yeah! Even if I look like this, I’m the captain of the Teikou Basketball team after all.

Haizaki: Hah. Did you come here to sermon me or something. You guys can still do club activities without me there right? Just leave me alone.

Nijimura: Pfft… Hahaha! That line of yours is too transparent.

Haizaki: What?

Nijimura: You slack off non-stop from club activities to get attention to yourself right? Aw, it’s alright, I won’t leave you alone. You sure are a “kamatte-chan”.

Haizaki: Don’t fuck with me!!

*attempts to punch Nijimura*

Nijimura: Oh? That was a better punch than I expected.

…..However, that won’t work on me.

[Probably in the Lunch Hall]

Haizaki: Ugh.. Ouch…

Akashi: This seat.. Isn’t taken, correct?

Haizaki: Ha? ……Akashi. It IS taken.

Akashi: I see.

*sits down*

Haizaki: I said the seat is taken! ……Damn it

Akashi: What happened with those injuries on your face?

Haizaki: So noisy, it has got nothing to do with you.

Akashi: Were you at the game center yesterday?

Haizaki: Tsk.

Akashi: I see. Then this will make things faster. Club activities for today will involve a practice match of first years vs second years. Please make sure to attend.

Haizaki: Ha? Don’t order me around. Who the hell do you think you are?

Akashi: I am simply fulfilling my duties as the vice captain.

Haizaki: Aaaaahhhh yes sir, is that so Mr. Vice Captain sir, thank you very much for taking the trouble!

Akashi: …….. Haizaki. What is the reason behind you not attending practices?

Haizaki: Reason…? I don’t have one. I just felt like it.

Akashi: If you have no plans on even attending the club, then you could always just quit, couldn’t you? Your slacking off has come to a point that it leaves a bad influence on the team.

Haizaki: Stop putting the blame on me.

Akashi: I heard that you started a quarrel with people from a different school the other day as well when you were wandering about. Learn to be more prudent before the problem gets out of hand.

Haizaki: I SAID. STOP ORDERING ME AROUND!!

Akashi: Haizaki! What will you do about club today?

Haizaki: Heh. I was actually thinking about showing my face a little bit but I changed my mind. All thanks to you.

Akashi: …………..

[After club activities]

Nijimura: Hai…za…ki!

Akashi: The cleaning and locking of the gymnasium is finished.

Nijimura: Ou. Thanks for your hardwork.

Akashi: Nijimura san, if it’s paperwork, please let me do it.

Nijimura: Huh? Oh, okay. Then, I’ll leave the continuation to you.

Akashi: …..So in the end, he didn’t show up did he? Haizaki, I mean.

Nijimura: Breaking his promise with me, that bastard. I should’ve punched him two or three more times!!

*Akashi laughs*

Nijimura: Well, that only means we have to do something about him again but anyway, how was the first year vs. second year match today?

Akashi: Yes… For the team with only the firs years, I think that the balance of fighting power among the members is close to being at the tipping point/danger zone. Moreover, with Kuroko’s participation, we are now able to create a change in the flow of the game. However at this point in time, we are not able to take full advantage of this change.

Nijimura: Yeah, since there are no players with a style like Kuroko’s… So it means that the ones playing with him must develop a technique themselves to go along with it.

Akashi: While we’re at this point, Aomine on the other hand, is able to go all out with his own playing style thanks to Kuroko’s invisible passes. In today’s match, his speed greatly improved.

Nijimura: He always practiced with Kuroko even before he came to the first string right? Either they’re in tune with one another or he’s just excited. It’s just like the straightforward idiot he is, isn’t it?

Akashi: On the other hand, Murasakibara is harboring annoyance.

Nijimura: Huh?

Akashi: Endurance, experience… It seems he feels a lack in Kuroko who is yet to catch up with the first strings regarding those matters.

Nijimura: Hm.

Akashi: Because of this, the snacks are disappearing at a rate that is 1.5x faster than before.

Nijimura: Stress-eating!? Really… His body is so huge but he’s really just a brat. He should be a little bit more stoic like Midorima– well, that’s not gonna happen.

Akashi: Since Midorima and Murasakibara’s personalities are quite polar opposites aren’t they?

Nijimura: Well, Midorima being Midorima is too absorbed in his own thing that he lacks awareness of his surroundings too.

….and he seems to be always holding weird things???

Akashi: They’re Oha Asa lucky items.

Nijimura: *Sighs* Really…. you guys are all so troublesome.

[Kuroko texting]

Kuroko: Hmm I wonder if this is too long for a message… Alright, this is about it. Pressing send…

*phone rings*

Kuroko: This is a ringtone right? Hello?

[ Ogiwara: Kuroko! ]

Kuroko: Ogiwara kun! Hajimemashite!

[ Ogiwara: What??? ]

Kuroko: Ahh, sorry. I mean, in a talking-on-the-phone kind of way.

[ Ogiwara: Oh I see. If you say it that way, it gets kind of embarrassing. ]

Kuroko: The call came all of a sudden so I kind of panicked. ]

[ Ogiwara: Haha, sorry. It’s because just when I was trying to send an e-mail, your message to me arrived so… I got so happy I called you without thinking. ]

Kuroko: Did you receive my message?

[ Ogiwara: Yup! I received it. ]

Kuroko: That’s great to hear. Since we used written letters until now, I’m still not used to this.

[ Ogiwara: I’ll be your practice buddy so keep on sending me messages and calls, alright? ]

Kuroko: Okay!

[ Ogiwara: So, how have you been recently? Since going up the Teikou’s first string! ]

Kuroko: I feel like I’ll vomit. Actually, I do vomit.

[ Ogiwara: EH!? ]

Kuroko: The practices are so many times harder than the third string’s and it takes all of my ability just to finish them. Just remembering makes me go…. ugh—

[ Ogiwara: Oi oi oi are you alright? ]

Kuroko: Yes

[ Ogiwara: You get a feeling like… “that’s Teikou Middle School for you” right? No wonder they’re so strong. ]

Kuroko: Everyone accomplishes those kinds of practices as if it’s just everyday routine and it’s really amazing.

[ Ogiwara: But Kuroko, even before you were still in the third string, you did your best more than anyone to the point of doing independent practices, right? So you’ll definitely catch up to them one day! ]

Kuroko: Aomine kun told me the same thing before. You two definitely are similar in some ways.

[ Ogiwara: Aomine? Oooohh that friend you told me about before who’s really awesome at basketball? ]

Kuroko: Yes! Even in among the first string, his abilities are far superior. But during times I’m feeling down, he’s someone who will casually just keep his pace to match mine.

[ Ogiwara: I see. It’s nice to hear you have a friend who you can count on. ]

Kuroko: Oh yeah, he bought me ice cream on the way home from practice before.

[ Ogiwara: Ice cream???? Even though it’s this cold?? ]

Kuroko: That day, I was so exhausted and down because I really couldn’t keep up with the day’s practice so he went “well, just eat it out”

[ Ogiwara: Oh, I see! ]

Kuroko: I thought that it was to resupply sugar into my system and to cool me down…

[ Ogiwara: Hmmmmm, somehow, I feel like he didn’t really think about stuff like that? ]

Kuroko: When you put it that way… I really did start to think it may be the case.

[ Ogiwara: Hahaha! But he really is a good guy isn’t he, that Aomine. Well that means at least, that you are able to be a first string member without being brought down no matter how hard the practices are. ]

Kuroko: Yes! How is going on your end, Ogiwara kun?

[ Ogiwara: Oh! Well for me, even if it’s just little by little, they’re starting to include me in the starters. ]

Kuroko: Starters? That’s amazing!

[ Ogiwara: Even so, it’s because there are a lot of practice matches where the opponent also uses first years. ]

Kuroko: Even still, I think it’s amazing that you’re selected among the many first year members.

[ Ogiwara: I’m happy just being able to go out and play in the match but when the cooperative moves we’ve experimented on during practices actually work in the match itself, it really is the best feeling. It’s as if you were able to prove the greatness of teamwork. ]

Kuroko: Teamwork…

[ Ogiwara: Hmm? Is there something wrong? ]

Kuroko: Actually, there’s someone in the first string who doesn’t really come to practice often. He’s also a first year, you see.

[ Ogiwara: Ahh, so there really are people who find the practices too hard and back out of frustration? ]

Kuroko: Oh no, actually he’s a player that’s good enough to be chosen as a regular. But then for some reason, he just keeps slacking off of club activities.

[ Ogiwara: What’s up with that? Did he have a fight with a teammate or something? Or like his parents got mad at him because his grades went down because of too much balling? Did you try to hear his reasoning? ]

Kuroko: Well, I’ve never asked him directly myself but it seems that all he does is play around after school when he slacks off of practice so I really don’t think that’s it.

[ Ogiwara: Then… It really is just purely slacking off? Hmmm… No matter how good he was that he was able to be a freshman first string member in Teikou, if he keeps slacking off, won’t he be left behind by others? Does it mean he doesn’t care about that? ]

Kuroko: I think it isn’t like that but…

[ Ogiwara: Hmm but even while slacking off, he doesn’t quit the club. So that doesn’t mean that he has come to hate basketball either, right? Hmmmm… I don’t really know but if he likes basketball, he’ll probably come back. ]

Kuroko: If he likes baskeball….. I guess you’re right.

[Haizaki in stealth mode after school]

Haizaki: *Sigh* it seems I was able to go undetected but if someone from the basketball club sees me, I’ll be 100% scolded. I’m having none of that today!

Voice: Heeeeh. Who’s going to scold you, you said?

Haizaki: That hot-headed captain.

Voice: What are you having none of, you said?

Haizaki: Getting beat up, of cours— ahhh!!

Nijimura: You never learn do you?

Haizaki: Ni, Niji—

Nijimura: Oh hey there, I’m Nijimura san, that hot-headed captain! I was contemplating on how you didn’t keep our promise yesterday so I went out of my way to wait for you right here! If I remember correctly, we were supposed to have already met at the gymnasium yesterday, right? HAIZAKI? *cracks knuckles*

Haizaki: You bastard…

Nijimura: Who did you call a bastard?

Haizaki: Eh!?

Nijimura: Thanks for making a fool out of me. Come to the practice this instant!

Haizaki: Shut up! Always picking on me like a target!! Let me say this to you today as well!!

Nijimura: Oh, do tell!!

Haizaki: THANK YOU FOR YOUR HARDWORK CAPTAIN NIJIMURA, PLEASE DO YOUR BEST ON THE PRACTICE OKAAAAYY!?!?!?!?!?!

*bolts*

Nijimura: You— don’t screw around with me!!!!!!!

*chases*

Nijimura: Don’t you run away from me Haizaki!!!!!

Haizaki: You’re so persistent!!! It’s because you keep chasing me!!!!!

Nijimura: Don’t try to reason out with me!!!!

Haizaki: UOOOHHHHHHHHH

*Haizaki trips and falls*

Nijimura: Haizaki!!! Oi, are you alright? You didn’t sprain your arm or your leg?

Haizaki: You… Just the day before yesterday you beat me up and now you say these things!?

Nijimura: Isn’t it obvious I didn’t go all out on you at that time? Don’t put it on the same thing as you just simply tripping and falling.

Haizaki: You held back on me?!

Nijimura: Oh? Those are nice eyes.

Haizaki: Just as you said, don’t make a fool out of people! I’m gonna beat you up!!

Nijimura: Well isn’t that perfect, come at me!!

*Haizaki and Nijimura go at each other and Haizaki is beat up*

Nijimura: Well, you fight good but you’re still a hundred years too early to be my serious opponent.

Haizaki: Damn it…

Nijimura: Haizaki, don’t run away anymore.

Haizaki: I’m not running from anything—

Nijimura: Not about fighting you idiot. Hey, Haizaki. Why don’t you try to face basketball honestly for once?

Haizaki:

Nijimura: ………….Ah? He passed out. *Sigh* so troublesome, geez!!

[Teikou gymnasium]

Nijimura: Ossu!!

Akashi: Nijimura san?

*Haizaki groaning in the background*

Akashi: ……? Nijimura san, could that be….

Nijimura: Yup! Hey, where are your greetings?

Haizaki: ‘Sup…..

Kuroko: (His face…. is nothing like how it originally looked like)

Nijimura: You know this guy gets really energetic and runs around all excited when he sees my face so I also did my best to bring him here!

Akashi: But….. In his state now….

Nijimura: Oh pish posh, right Haizaki? You’re super excited to be able to join practice after all this time right?

Haizaki: Yeeess……

Nijimura: Yup, that’s a nice response! Well anyway, why don’t you go join that mini game over there! Off you go!

Haizaki: OWW!!

Nijimura: Haizaki!! That was your return wasn’t it!

Haizaki: Ahh damn! Give it to me!!

*shoots ball*

Haizaki: Yeah that’s how it goes!

Nijimura: Don’t go putting on a smug face just because you made one shot! If you have time for that then get back as soon as you can!!

Haizaki: Yes, sir!!

Kuroko: Haizaki kun….. He really is good.

Akashi: That’s what you think?

Kuroko: Eh?

Akashi: He indeed has abilities that is superior than the norm, however, the ball is not going to him in a way it can be most put into effect. It’s undeniable that there’s a lack of cooperation.

Kuroko: That means that indeed, there’s a fundamental lack of practice, right? However rather than Haizaki kun, it looks like it’s the other players who are feeling uncertain about Haizaki kun’s play style.

Akashi: So you did see through it, Kuroko. It means that Haizaki slacking’s off has begun to show its effects.

Kuroko: So it’s good that the captain was able to drag him here even while he used excessive measures, isn’t it?

……Akashi kun?

Akashi: Don’t you think…. Nijimura san is a little too hung-up on Haizaki?

Kuroko: Hung-up?

Akashi: Nijimura san has an eye for people. He has from the beginning a rather correct evaluation about me, and he knew about how you worked harder than anyone else in secret. But… He’s different towards Haizaki. Even while knowing that there’s a high probability of him leaving negative effects on the team, he’s made it so that cutting him loose won’t be an option from the very beginning.

Is there any good in letting the Haizaki the way he is now, stay on the team even to the point of resorting to violence?

Kuroko: Akashi kun…

*Nijimura humming*

Akashi: I’ve locked the doors to the gymnasium. I’ve gone and returned the keys to the faculty room.

Nijimura: Oh! Thanks!

Akashi: Nijimura san…. I told you, I’ll do the paperworks.

Nijimura: Oh? Well, I’m feeling rather good today because we were able to practice with the complete set of first string members after a long time so…. since I’m almost done, you can go ahead of me if you want.

Akashi: ….

Nijimura: What’s wrong? You’re not going home?

Akashi: I have something I wanted to ask Nijimura san. Is it alright?

Nijimura: I don’t mind.

Akashi: It’s about Haizaki.

[ Ogiwara: Oh yeah, about that guy you said who always slacked off of practice… ]

Kuroko: You mean Haizaki kun?

[ Ogiwara: Did he come to club today? ]

Kuroko: Well, yes, in a way.

[ Ogiwara: “In a way”? What’s that supposed to mean. ]

Kuroko: Captain went and beat Haizaki kun up and dragged him back when he was about to go home and slack off again.

[ Ogiwara: “Beat up”!? You mean with fists? ]

Kuroko: His face looked so horrible. To think Nijimura san was that strong…

[Ogiwara: Nijimura? Eh, Nijimura…. You mean that blond haired Nijimura san? ]

Kuroko: Eh? Captain isn’t blond.

[ Ogiwara: Hmm could it be a different person? But then the last name “Nijimura” is rather rare… So that just means it just isn’t at the present? ]

Kuroko: Ogiwara kun… You know our captain?

[ Ogiwara: Well, during elementary school, I actually watched a Teikou match once. When I did, there was this person who was a starter while being a freshman and he was so incredibly strong. That person was called “Nijimura”. ]

Kuroko: He was blond that time?

[ Ogiwara: Yeah yeah. Honestly though, his attitude during the matches weren’t really the best… Like he’s arrogant just because he’s good? He lashed out even when the people he’s talking to are his seniors… ]

Kuroko: Nijimura san… Arrogant?

[ Ogiwara: So he’s the captain huh. It’s rather unexpected! ]

Kuroko: Well for me though, the story you told me now is the one that’s unexpected.

[ Ogiwara: Really? ]

Kuroko: Yes. Nijimura san is someone who can boast great faith from the coach and he listens to our opinions even if we are his juniors. Even to Haizaki kun.. Well, the means are quite, you know… But he tries his best to bring him to practice… It’s a very different image than what Ogiwara kun knows. Besides, he has black hair now.

[ Ogiwara: Hooooh. Then maybe… Some things might have also happened with Nijimura san since that time. ]

Akashi: What did Nijimura san think about Haizaki in the practice today?

Nijimura: Well, for someone who doesn’t go to practice, his movements weren’t dull. He isn’t on Aomine’s level, but his instinct and skills to bring the ball to the goal without any qualms haven’t changed.

Akashi: Hm

Nijimura: But that’s in the end, his individual ability. He missed numerous easier and more ideal chances to get the ball into the goal. There’s also that angle where you know the others hesitated to pass the ball to Haizaki but that guy doesn’t look at his surroundings to begin with. I guess his egocentricity did him a little good here.

Akashi: So you did notice.

Nijimura: It seems you are wanting to say something. Tell me. You don’t have to hold back.

Akashi: Haizaki’s bad conduct, isn’t just his own personal problem– it is beginning to leave quite a tangible effect on the team as a whole. Even if you tell them not to mind, distrust is something that grows stronger. After all, isn’t Haizaki’s reason for slacking off in the end just pure laziness? If he doesn’t respond to repeated warnings, then I think that the effort Nijimura san goes out of his way to put on him is just a waste.

Nijimura: Heh, you didn’t really hold back at all.

Akashi: In my opinion, I think that the faster we cut Haizaki off, the better it will be for the team.

Nijimura: Well, for the team, that may be the correct decision. But hey, can you give it a little more time?

Akashi: ….

Nijimura: To you who is capable and is able to walk in a straight line in life, someone who is aimless and who always postpones the answers might just seem “lazy”. But for me, his slacking off seems like an escape.

Akashi: Escape?

Nijimura: To never be ordered around, he’s walking around living selfishly but he’s probably just frightened to be bound to one place.

Akashi: I somehow sense some first-hand experience/feeling into what you said.

Nijimura: Hahaha, seriously you’re too sharp! Well, you can say that when I was in first year, I was also a bit sharp around some edges. When I look at Haizaki roaming aimlessly, I kind of remember myself and get embarrassed.

Akashi: So in other words, Nijimura san is projecting himself onto Haizaki? Therefore you think he’s going to change like you one day?

Nijimura: You really say it so bluntly. Well yeah, that’s probably it. Haizaki’s reason for joining the basketball team could probably just be because he’s just better at it than others. But then, why do you think he doesn’t quit if he just keeps slacking off?

Akashi: ….

Nijimura: Well, let’s go home. But you know I’m kind of hungry so maybe I’ll buy some meat bun from the convenience store? Do you want to come along, Akashi?

Akashi: Isn’t it already time for dinner by the time we arrive home?

Nijimura: Oi oi Obocchan. Don’t tell me you’ve never just went out and bought food to eat? There is a different room for these foods in the stomach apart from the one for dinner! It’s delicious because you eat it while going home.

Alright! I’m going to initiate you into the art of buying these foods so let’s get going!

Akashi: Nijimura san! I’m not exactly hungry…

Nijimura: This is my treat, don’t be shy!

Nijimura: Kuroko! Your right leg wasn’t raised enough in your take-off!

Kuroko: I apologize!

Haizaki: Hey, lameass.

Kuroko: Haizaki ku–

Haizaki: Give it to me.

Akashi: !? Haizaki

Nijimura: You’re late, Haizaki! Hurry up and go get changed!

Haizaki: *Sigh*

Nijimura: Answer!

Haizaki: Yes sir!

Akashi: Did you do something, Nijimura san? To think Haizaki will come to practice on his own…

Nijimura: Who knows? Maybe he’s learned his lesson after being beaten up too many times?

Akashi: I don’t see the merit on both sides in using force on Haizaki to practice –

Nijimura: I will force him, Akashi. As long as he’s in the basketball club.

Akashi: ….Why?

Nijimura: Because… I’m the Captain of Teikou. However, it’s up to him from now on if he will change or not.

Akashi: Is that Nijimura san’s way…?

Nijimura: Yes it is. But don’t worry. I won’t tell you to do the same thing as me.

Akashi: ….

Nijimura: Well, I’m not gonna tell you to copy this *cracks fist*

Today, I’m gonna have you pay the debt for all the times you’ve slacked off until now!! Prepare yourself, Haizaki!!!!!

DIABOLIK LOVERS DAYLIGHT Vol.5 Sakamaki Kanato [TRACK 2]

Original title: すれ違う心

Source: Diabolik Lovers Daylight Vol. 5 Sakamaki Kanato

Audio: Here (Huge thank you to @filthyhelplessworld for providing the audio!)

Seiyuu: Kaji Yuki

Translator’s note: The MC’s health is obviously getting worse and I really fear for her with a boyfriend whose best solution is to completely disregard her concerns and lock her up in the underground dungeon. I’m still betting that all of this karma will come and bite Kanato in the ass though. I’m just waiting for the angsty stuff to kick in because he needs a taste of reality.

Track 1 ll Track 2 ll Track 3 ll Track 4 ll Track 5 + Epilogue

→ LIKE MY TRANSLATIONS? SUPPORT ME ON KO-FI!

Track 2: Hearts Growing Apart

You are in the kitchen making sweets.

*Thud*

*Ping ping*

Kanato enters the kitchen.

“Hm...I have no complaints about the scent. Is this the sponge for the cake?”

You nod.

“Your hands have stopped moving. Please continue.”

You continue beating the egg whites in a bowl.

[00:24] “Fufu...Cut the cookies into bear shapes, okay? I want two kinds, both chewy and crispy. I grow tired if there’s no variety in the texture after all. ...Ah, I’d like my pudding on the firmer side with bittersweet caramel sauce on top, okay? I’m especially picky when it comes to chocolate. The cacaー”

Your movements stop again as you grow dizzy.

“...? What’s wrong? Now’s not the time to rest. I want to eat these soon so stop dawdlーー”

You nearly collapse, knocking over the bowl with cream in the process.

*THUD*

[00:56] “...! Ah!! The cream…!!”

*Rustle*

“Tsk...It turned out so well too...This all happened because you were spacing out…!”

You explain.

[01:13] “Hah…! You’re at it again with the sick act? Whenever things don’t go your way, you always blame it on feeling unwell! I bet you’re feeling faint because you let one of the other guys suck your blood, am I wrong!? Was it...Reiji again, perhaps? Even though you promised you would stay away from him!”

“SHUT UP!!”

*Thud*

[01:39] “I thought you were actually being a good girl and making the sweets I asked for but in the end, this is what I get! After you promised me several times too...Honestly...I’m so through with you!!”

*Rustle rustle*

“Haah…”

Kanato starts dragging you along.

“You want to know where we’re going? Oh no, you’re not going anywhere from here on out.”

*TIMESKIP*

*Cling cling*

*Rustle*

[02:23] “No, I won’t stop. Someone like you deserves no better than to be locked up inside the underground dungeon like this.”

You protest.

“Haah...You only have yourself to blame. For breaking our promise and letting someone else suck your blood.”

You deny it.

“SHUT UP! How many times are you going to lie to me? PLEASE DON’T MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME BY ASSUMING I’D BELIEVE YOUR WORDS OF DENIAL!”

You beg.

[02:58] “...If you want me to listen to the whole story, then promise me you will never tell a lie again.”

You promise.

“Haah...Okay then. I suppose I wouldn’t mind listening a little.”

You start explaining.

“...Your health actually has been in poor condition, you say? You sure are insistent about that part.”

You continue talking.

[03:28] “So? ‘At this rate you will ーー’ What? You’re not going to tell me you’ll die, right?”

You remain quiet.

“Kuh. CUT IT OUーー”

You nod.

“Huh? ...Say, did you...perhaps nod just now? Do you truly believe you will die if things continue down this path?”

You nod again.

“That...doesn’t make sense.”

You tell him it’s the truth.

[04:14] “You’re just joking when you say you might not have much time left, right?”

You shake your head.

“You want me to mentally prepare myself for the worst…? Ridiculous...I mean, there’s just no way you would die, right!?”

You try to make him face reality.

“SHUT UP!!”

You speak up again.

“SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!! SHUT UP!! YOU JUST CAN’T DIE!! ...Stay here until I give you permission to leave!”

Kanato stomps away.

“Kuh…!”

*Thud*

*TIMESKIP*

[04:59] “Nn...Here. You should try one of the cookies as well. You haven’t been eating at all this whole time, have you?”

You politely refuse.

“Even if you’re lacking an appetite, you should be able to at least eat the things I bring you, no?”

You hesitantly grab a cookie.

[05:26] “Mmh. Better. Umー Where were we again…? Ah, right! I remember now! Honestly, I was so surprised to find out there was another human out there who has blood as sweet as yours! Well, I just so happened to cross paths with her on my way home from school, of course. ...You probably shouldn’t give yourself too much credit for having special blood. If you continue to be disobedient, you might just find yourself thrown aside by me at some pointーー Just kidding. Fufufu…”

You remain quiet.

[06:19] “Hey? Are you listening? You didn't nod off while I was talking, did you?”

You shake your head.

“Good. You’ve been quiet this whole time though. You should say something as well. Anything will do. What has been on your mind today, or what you would like to do if I were to free you from down here, for example.”

You tell him you want to see the outside world.

[06:56] “Hmph. What will you gain from watching the scenery outside? Your eyes should only ever be on me.”

You go silent again.

“Hah! Ridiculous! I’m here trying my best to strike up a conversation, yet you have nothing else to tell me?”

You bring up your health.

[07:24] “Aah...But I’ve heard enough about that. I’m sick and tired of hearing you say how you’ll ‘die’ or whatever…”

You try and reason with him.

“STOP! I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT! ...Haah. We were having such a lovely chat as well, but you completely ruined it.”

Kanato gets up.

“My mood has been ruined. I will excuse myself for today.”

He leaves.

*Thud*

[08:01] ( You told me I was doing the wrong thing time after time. Trying to convince me that locking you up in that dim lit underground dungeon would only speed up the process and lead to an early death. You would even burst out into tears, worried about what would happen to me once I’m left behind.

[08:19] Every time, I would grow upset and refuse to listen to you, covering my ears while simply turning a blind eye to everything, as I kept you imprisoned down there. Because I truly believed that if I kept at it long enough, you would eventually give in and stop saying that you were dying.

[08:42] ...I wonder why I didn’t just accept your words back then? Why didn’t I try and do something about the abnormal condition of your heart, even though I had taken notice of it? I never thought I would one day ask myself those questions over and over again. )

*TIMESKIP*

Kanato approaches you in the dungeon.

[09:10] “You seem rather out of it today. Do you have any idea how much time has passed since you were brought here?”

You shake your head.

“I suppose you don’t? ーー Or perhaps…”

*Cling*

“I guess you no longer care, do you? After all, right now the only thing which matters to you, is the person standing in front of you, right? Correct?”

You nod.

[09:50] “Fufu. You’ve become such a good girl. Well then, come here. I will let you embrace me as your reward.”

You move closer and wrap your arms around him.

*Cling cling*

[10:12] “...Haah...We will be together forever, okay? Please don’t say you’ll die ever again. ...You’re not going anywhere. You can’t even run. It’ll be just the two of us for eternity. I’m sure you feel the same way right now?”

You reluctantly nod.

[10:50] “...What was that just now? It appeared to me that you only nodded because you had no other choice. I can tell you’re hiding how you truly feel. ...Tell me loud and clear. How do you feel?”

You keep quiet.

“Haha...Hahaha...So you really can’t let go of the possibility that you’ll die one day, no matter how many times I tell you that we’ll be together forever, can you? ...Cut it out alreaーー”

You speak up.

[11:31] “...’But’, what?”

You tell him he will be okay and can simply find another human to feed off of.

“Did you just...tell me that I’ll be okay even if you die, because there’s plenty of replacements for you out there?”

You nod.

[11:50] “So...That’s all what matters? No way...What makes you believe you have the right to decide that on your own? Who told you to think that way!? Well...I won’t deny that I discovered someone with sweet blood in town the other day, but you’re still on a whole different level! ...ABOVE ALL!!”

*Cling*

[12:19] “Didn’t I tell you just now? That you won’t go anywhere, nor can you run away, so the two of us will be together forever…! Tsk...Yet...Kuh...Yet you have the nerve to…!! ...Honestly...I’ve had enough of this.”

You try to comfort him.

“Hah! ...Stay away from me.”

He walks away.

[12:57] “I’m sick of talking to you. Or rather, I suppose you could say that my love for you has faded.”

*Cling*

“That’s the key to those chains. From today onwards, you’re a free woman. I no longer care about you. ーー Just like you said, there’s plenty of people who can replace you out there. ...Farewell.”

Kanato leaves.

[13:38] “...Kuh!! She’ll die? Ridiculous! There’s just no way I would be left behind on my own. Yet she keeps on saying that she’ll die and to make matters worse, even has the nerve to tell me I could simply replace her! Where on earth did she get that ludicrous idea from!? ...I should just push her away for a bit. I’ll make her regret her words! Until she lets go of those ridiculous thoughts!”

I came across a short piece I wrote when I was seventeen, and it brought back memories of the time I attempted suicide because I was afraid of birthdays.

Sorry for the ungrammatical, and I didn’t think about its title, but here it is!

February 18, 2019

Everybody knows that they were born for a reason. But me? I never thought about that. My parent cared for me since I was an infant until my hair grew. My name is Angel. When I turned on my 5th birthday, I started wondering why my parents brought a bunch of kids into our house and sang and waited ‘til I wished and blew out my candle. Yes, I wouldn’t say I like birthdays. And now I’m Seventeen, as usual, I am facing a chocolate cake with a cherry on top, and my parents are giving me pleasant grins that seem happy about my age and are near death. I never had a close friend because I knew they’d leave me. Until one day, someone is brave enough to talk to me. I was sitting in a library, and there he was, Duncan.

“Hi,” his greetings.

“What do you want?” I responded.

“Nothing, I am just looking for someone willing to join our club. I mean to be a journalist?”

“uh.. so you think about me joining your club?” I asked.

“Absolutely, yes..” He said, “I saw you writing.” He continued.

I just looked at him and rolled my eyes. “What are you doin’?”

He forcedly grabbed my journal, and he didn’t give it back. “Black possesses mystery..” not until he finished reading my poem, “and at the end, it’s just death.”

“Wow, I never thought you were suicidal.” He smiled.

“Of course not; it’s just a poem.” I said.

“But poems were written because of one's inspiration.” He justified.

“Okay, so what?” I mumbled.

“It's nice. But maybe you need a reason why you exist.” he added.

I was thinking about that. I need to know why people have to live.

“Here's my number; call me If you change your mind.” He gave me a card with a number under his name. Duncan. He tapped my shoulder, and then he almost reached the door out, but I stopped him.

“Hey, Duncan! Count me in.” I shouted out.

“Great, see you in five!” He grinned.

Since the first day we met, we’ve been together until now. We became closer and did stuff a lot. Bestfriends, if that’s what it looks like. We joined in journalism; he taught me how to be a wise thinker. Sometimes we’re having a mind-to-mind battle; we argue about something, especially when it talks about life.

“You know I hate birthdays,” I mumbled.

“Hah! Yeah, I hate getting old, though. Hahaha,” he said.

“No. What I mean is, I wouldn’t say I like birthdays. For me, it’s like a sign that you’re just going to die near someday. You know the thoughts that we exist to die.” A deep silence comes abruptly.

“Have I told you I’m a miracle baby?” Duncan said.

“Yah?” I’m surprised.

“Yeaaah.. haha, my Mom told me I was not breathing when I was born. They were already preparing for a funeral until I suddenly cried..” he smiled.

“Funny, right?” He asked.

“Woah.. wow.. you’re..” I paused. I have never said this to someone before, but. “It’s miraculous! You’re an angel!” And we exchanged smiles together.

“So I am here, sharing my talent to inspire everyone even if I don’t know when will be my last breath. At least I made a lot of memories. It’s an opportunity to enjoy and express myself. I love to uplift everyone with this.” he let out.

My heartbeat stops, and I feel my hands sweating. I never believe to someone before that life is meaningful and we live for a purpose. But now, I understand. Duncan is right; I don’t just live to die.

We grab all of our opportunities together, he wants to become an Author, and I want to be the most excellent documentarist in media.

Duncan and I auditioned for the Poetry Writing contest. We took a lot of time to ensure our poem was remarkable and wanted it to be remembered so that we would become famous. When the day arrives, we’re going to show the world our talent and inspire people to keep on going through the ups and downs of life. People will love our work. I can’t wait for that to happen.

Until here it is, the day we waited.

I am still waiting for Duncan, It’s 2:17 in the afternoon, and the program will start at 3:00.

What if he doesn’t come? What if he left me as people do? What should I do? Do I have to trust him?

It was almost 4:00 in the afternoon, and Duncan didn't show up.

A few weeks passed, and I never saw him anymore. He missed my calls, or maybe he just ignored them. But I didn’t stop looking for him.

Until one day, He called.

“Hi, it’s his Mom. Duncan passed away; my baby can’t fight his heart illness. Sorry.. sorry..so..” she cried.

I never knew he had suffered from sickness; he never told me about that! I cried a lot and didn’t know what to do.

He’s the only one who brought me to light and showed me the meaning of life. Yet, he took mine with him.

BURN CHARACTER CARD #1

━

To whom does a grieving heart call? Of what does your frightened heart cry out? Lift up your face and smile! Here comes the hero! I'll burn down everything that hurts you!

━

I was currently helping out in the casino of this nocturnal fortress that somehow double to provided entertainment and thrills to people. LEN : Hey, Camus has a message for you. He says it's time to take a break. EMMA : Okay. Thanks for letting me know, Len. LEN : Damn him, using me like a pigeon一 BURN : Okay! We're clear over here, too! Clear behind the counter! No sign of evil lurking in the dumpster over here either! LEN : What's he doing? EMMA : Yeah, I don’t understand either. Burn, what are you doing?

BURN : Hmm? This is one of the most important duties of a hero. It's called patrolling! I'm looking around for anything that might be dangerous or harmful to my friends! As far as I can see, there is no danger on this floor! You can rest assured, Emma! EMMA : Oh, umm. thank you? LEN : You idiot. What did I tell you about the security system in the members-only area? Hero? Ha! You're a Black Fairy! BURN : Exactly! I'm a black fairy and a hero! LEN : Whaaaaaa?

BURN : Hey, Emma, is there anything I can do for you? Whenever you need help, call me! EMMA : Thanks, Burn. I'll be relying on you whenever I need help. BURN : Oh, you can count on me all the time! I will definitely protect you. That's what a hero does! Burn is a slightly eccentric black fairy who calls himself a "hero." He just recently joined our group and has been... Overly... Supportive. EMMA : (Bright, friendly, and forthcoming. He’s certainly different than the other black fairies...) LEN : Hah, if you ask me, it’s the people who call themselves heroes that are full of the most shit! BURN : Really? You're so smart! You really know what you're talking about! LEN : Oh?

BURN : Indeed, I'll protect the ones I care about from any evil! You saw my burning heroic spirit, didn't you? LEN : Are you out of your mind? Look, heroes are only exist in a fantasy world. In reality, people like you are either complete frauds or self-satisfied corrupt bastards. EMMA : Len? There's no need to get so hung up on it. LEN : Shut up. I get so frustrated when I see these self-righteous assholes. BURN : I see! Len, you haven't seen a real hero yet, have you? LEN : The fuck? BURN : I'll take care of it!

Ask Answers (March 3rd, 2021)

Here’s our latest batch of anon ask answers! Thanks for waiting for them.

Will there be a 'Our Life' game for each season? Please say we're getting a winter one!

As of right now we’re only planning on making two, summer and fall. They take quite a while to finish and we’re not sure where we’ll be when the second OL is truly wrapped up. But it’s not impossible we can do a third. Though, four Our Life games is probably not super likely, honestly, aha. Maybe the third game, if we make one, could be switch between winter and spring or something.

What engine/engines do you use to make your games?

We use Renpy for all our projects!

For version 1.2 of OL, did you make any changes to the DLC? If so, could you post a changelog detailing what exactly (or at least a general overview)? If it's not too much trouble, could you also elaborate on the bugs/errors you fixed in the base game?

There aren’t really any changes to the DLCs, except for the voiced name DLC getting an expansion. We fixed very few small typos and added a couple extra lines. Unfortunately, we don’t have a list of exactly what all the little fixes were.

I've been playing OL and I love the characters! As soon as Baxter showed up, I knew I wanted to learn more about him! Would you consider adding him as a prospective LI in the future?

Yep, Baxter (and Derek) will be getting his own romance story as an optional DLC late in 2021! Glad you like him.

Hellooo! First off I'm a huge fan of the game and can't stop playing it. However, I was wondering about how much domestic life with Cove we'll get to see in step 4. Meaning the time before the wedding and the time after. In my game Cove and I talked about having children and I was hoping that would be an option in step 4. Either way, I cannot wait for the release and I send my best to everyone working on the production :) thanks!

I’m sorry, there’s no children or scenes after the two are married. There’s sort of endless possibilities for what that future could be like, so we unfortunately can’t depict it. You only get scenes before they’re married and, if you get the wedding DLC, you can see the day they get married. It ends there, though. But thank you for the well-wishes!

Hello! I was just wondering, so step 4 is going to be similiar to the prologue/epilogue scenes of the game. Is the Wedding DLC going to be one long scene too or will that have moments? (I love the game by the way, its ruined all other visual novels for me in the most wonderful way <3 )

Yeah, Step 4 and the wedding DLC will be like the prologues/summer ended parts of the game. There won’t be separate Moments you can play in any order. I’m really happy you like the game so much!

You said that the OL MC's birthday can't be in summer, but what if you headcanoned it to be?

You can headcanon it as being in summer! There just aren’t birthday events in the game even if you do know your MC was born in summer. We had to leave those out, since some people might not want their MC to be born in summer and then they’d miss out on extra birthday scenes because of it. It wouldn’t have been fair.

Hello!😺 I absolutely love your game!😻 I can't wait for DLS with Derek and Baxter. And I wonder if Baxter could have seen Cove and MC at the party during their first failed dance? Or is Baxter only paying attention to who he's dancing with, or is he not dancing with anyone at the soiree at all then?

Baxter isn’t really paying attention to the couples on the floor. He’s just cruising the outskirts for someone available to dance with him. So he doesn’t get any memories of the MC or Cove at that party if the two just dance with each other. It’s great to hear you like the game!

time-wise/step-wise when does the nsfw dlc take place?

It’s not super strict in terms of an exact of weeks/months, but generally it’s sometime not long after the end of Step 3.

Heya! I'm currently obsessed with Our Life (I played through the entire game on Valentine's Day, hahaha– ha... hah), and I have one silly question: if I start playing Step 3 with the less... "romantically inclined" interest levels (Fond & Disinterest), is there still a chance of getting a romantic ending with Cove? Can Cove and the MC realize "they're the one for me" in just one summer? Or... are confessions off the table completely unless at least at Crush level? Thank you in advance!

So happy you’re having fun with it! In OL1 deciding that Cove is your friend means he’s truly only a friend. You can’t decide you have a crush partway through. But we are considering doing things differently in future games.

hey i have some questions about our life

a) is there a way to be friends with that mean bowlcut kid or is he always... like tha

b. what is coves ethnicity?

A. He is always like that, haha. At least as a kid, he does grow up to be different~

B. Cove’s mom Kyra is white, but Cliff’s race doesn’t come up and players are able to headcanon it. So Cove is half white and half whatever you prefer Cliff to be.

how do you get to the two mc cut-in scenes from the new update?

Hiii! I'm doing another playthrough (it's only like my 100th time playing through the entire game) after the 1.2 update, and I was wondering how to get the new art? I also really love all the new stuff, thank you for working so hard and creating such a wonderful game :)

You can check our our CG guide on Steam for that! Thank you for the kind words.

Sorry to bother you, but I have a question about the Patreon moment. Will there be initiative settings there too? And if there aren't, will the MC lead the whole thing or will Cove lead at certain points too? Thank you~

There will still be flexibly in what you’re comfortable with and whether you want Cove to automatically do things or for choices to always be involved :]. And you don’t need to apologize!

Hello!! I wanted to ask a couple of questions about Our Life:

1. Will we able to buy all the DLC via Steam or will there be some of them only available in Patreon? Just to know if I should create a Patreon user XD

2. Will Our Life: Now and Forever be about the current MC, Cove and the other characters or will it be a game with a New MC, new romantic options and new characters?

1. There will be a Patreon-only NSFW bonus Moment. But all the normal planned DLCs will release on Steam.

2. Our Life: Now & Forever is about new characters- new MC, new family, new LI, etc.

just some small bug I noticed: even if you didn't ask Cove to dance, if he asks you at the Soiree in Step 2 later and you say yes to dancing, the MC acts like they got to dance with Cove again even if it was the first time.

Thank you for the report on that! We thought it was fixed, but I guess it didn’t work.

I was messing around with the new update and I noticed that all the hands in the firefly CGs have the same skin tone regardless of what you put in, (with the exception of the really dark skin color) is this a glitch or something?

The skin tones aren’t the same. It’s just because they’re out at night with only fireflies for light that it makes each image look dark and therefore similar. But if you line them up together it’s clear how there are changes in every option.

How long did it take to plan out and write the story for OL? Not including the programming, art stuff, or the DLC chapters, I mean just planning and writing the base game story alone. The base game story seems hefty as is, and then on top of that there's the changes to scenes depending on MC's and Cove's personalities and relationship, I'm curious how long that took

It took basically the full development time, aha. I’m someone who doesn’t fully outline a project before start and instead continues to come up with stuff as a project progresses. There were new parts to the story being created right up to near the launch. So, starting in 2016 or so to later 2020, with some breaks/hold-ups throughout that time.

Hello! I'm really, really enjoying Our Life: Beginning and Always, it was the kind of sweet, wholesome content I needed during these past months. I had a quick question, will you be making any female characters for the MC to romance? In this game or any others like it? I'm a lesbian and I'd love to have a female love interest with such well written romance as yours! Thank you so much.

Thank you for the nice comment! Our Life: Beginnings & Always won’t have a female LI since we didn’t want to treat other gender options as second fiddle to the male lead. But we have just started full production on Our Life: Now & Forever, which will have a starring female LI! There’s a silhouette glimpse of her Step 1 self here~

waking up hurts.

it makes no sense that the light of dawn would sting his eyes this badly —— the eyes of a star, no less, a being vivid with light —— but it does. the doll shouldn’t make him this susceptible... but wait... he’s not inside of the doll, is he? he’s loose, nay, laid bare in what seems to be something of a vast, white wasteland. small nubs peel away from his face, exposing the full extent of what he’s facing to his gaze. it’s... nothing. it’s just nothing.

then, a voice——

❝ it took you long enough. ❞

❝ wh—— ❞ the little star whirls around, only to be confronted by another. their appearance is unmistakable. the spherical form, the jutting spikes of black matter erupting from their body, the harsh glare of red eyes—— a dark star. why? where did they come from?! this is an obviously urgent matter! the power of a dark star is nothing to sneeze at! he needs—— he needs to——

❝ what, about to call your dear master eldstar for help? ❞ the blasted thing cackles, glowing red thinning into slits. ❝ can’t do it alone, can you? since when do you need to rely on that old cretin to do anything for you? as if he ever has? ❞

they... read his mind? are they really reading his mind? it makes his very plasma run cold as ice. his mouth dangles open. ❝ it’s not... i-it’s—— i have to put my personal feelings aside—— ❞

❝ ha! hahaha! ❞ the hatred dripping from this thing’s voice is thick as blood. ❝ your personal feelings? if you actually stuck to those, you wouldn’t even bat an eyelash at that moron. seriously? are you that dense? as stupid as he is? ❞

that’s plenty to rile him up. this thing... this monster knows every single way to poke at his most sensitive topics. geno grits his teeth. ❝ who are you to even spew that bull at me? you think you know me so well?! ❞

❝ of course i do. ❞ the enraged star spirit is about to toss his rebuttal, but the dark star silences him before he manages a peep. ❝ who do you think i am? don’t be so daft! you know who you’re talking to. you may as well be looking right in the mirror. ❞

geno could spit cobra venom at this, this abomination right about now. ❝ i’m nothing like you! don’t you dare insinuate—— ❞

❝ i am you. ❞

❝ will you cut it out already? cut the cr—— ❞

❝ i literally am you. ❞ they tilt their head... their body? ❝ don’t you remember? halloween? you’ve been waking up in weird places, haven’t you? the fields, the graveyards, the cornstalks, the pumpkin patches... ❞

geno’s mouth runs dry. ❝ the magic of halloween town——? ❞

❝ ding ding ding! haha, wow. ❞ the dark star rolls their eyes. ❝ i thought we were smarter than that. i’m hurt—— ❞

they choke as they’re viciously cut off, geno’s real body slamming into them with the power of a hissing prankster comet. eyes stare wildly down at this manifestation, livid out of his mind. the dark star doesn’t even flinch. ❝ there’s no we in this equation! halloween’s almost over, and when it is, you’re toast. ❞

❝ alas, yeah... though, am i really? ❞ they notice their light counterpart rearing back for another attack, and immediately, they bring up a shadowy shield. ❝ hey, chill! i’m not here to fight! tsk—— you may as well have the brain of a smilax! ❞

geno snarls. ❝ then what do you want?! ❞

❝ it’s simple. ❞ they breathe in, eyes slipping shut. ❝ look at me. you fear me, don’t you? do you know what all i’m capable of? think about it. think of what you can do... and how much worse it would be if i did it. the power to even defeat your own mother, she who watches the whole of the cosmos... power that only comes once in a blue moon to us star spirits. you are afraid of that, aren’t you? ❞

geno can’t even manage a response. he just watches as they ascend above him, whirling lazily around his head.

❝ now, imagine how much they fear it. ❞

it all clicks into place then, and if anything, it only makes him more frustrated. ❝ is that what this is all about? let me guess, you want me to feel bad for what the council did to me? ❞

❝ hah! no way. ❞ the dark star, himself, faces his frazzled expression. ❝ quite the opposite, even. wouldn’t you like... to experience their fear firsthand? ❞ no matter how many times geno attempts to interject, they seem to know how to shut him up before he utters a word. ❝ face it. you hate what they did to you. you’re, in fact, way too soft. the fact that you haven’t taken vengeance of any kind yet is asinine. i can only do so much as a figment of halloween town’s curses, but together... ❞

their eyes swirl, bearing into him with malice unlike anything he’s ever seen, all bred from hurt. centuries, centuries of hurt are in those eyes.

❝ we can make them regret doing everything they ever did. ❞

finally, they allow him a little breathing room. they back away slightly, hovering expectantly in their endless void. geno’s expression goes through a mixture of things all at once —— confusion, anger, anguish, contempt —— but in the end, it all settles onto one sense of finality: exhaustion.

❝ you... just don’t get it, do you? ❞

❝ oh, going to argue with me about it, are you? let me guess, you forgive them? ❞

❝ no! stars, no. geez, ❞ remarks geno with a palm shoved into his face. ❝ maybe you were right about one thing. maybe you really are stupid. who said anything about forgiving them? way to make a leap bigger than mario. ❞

now it’s their turn to be speechless. geno hardly has the time to sort through his thoughts, but frankly, he doesn’t need to. his response comes cut and dry, raw and unfiltered.

❝ i’m not going to just go around and start fights to make myself feel better. for what? what’s it going to solve? my feelings for them aren’t changing, and theirs for me aren’t changing either. besides, as much as i hate to admit it, i don’t want to hurt them. i don’t want to see them suffer. i just want them to leave me alone. don’t you get that? don’t you want that, too? you just want it to stay done and over with, right? if you’re really me, then you know what i’m talking about. ❞

the dark star deflates slightly. it seems it’s working... or something. to that, geno faintly senses that small amount of sympathy. it’s weird, though, isn’t it? feeling this way for himself, yet he does, approaching with care to place a nub on their side. they don’t react to it.

❝ so you don’t care, ❞ they concede. ❝ you’ll just forget about it—— like we don’t deserve any better. ❞

❝ yeeeah, no. quit saying stuff like that. i’ll never forget it, and i’ll never forgive them. what i think it is... ❞ geno’s eyes shut. ❝ i want... to get why they did it. you’re right. i am afraid of you. if that’s what they feel, i get that. it doesn’t excuse anything, but i get it. you know what i... you know what we can do with that knowledge, though? what we can do if we understand their side? ❞

the dark star begins to quiver. geno does, too, but with the fiercest determination behind his watchful eye.

❝ we can prevent it from happening to anyone else. ❞ he gives a tiny bob of his body. ❝ we don’t have to hurt. we can help. i don’t mean helping the council, but helping all the other stars who might be hurting in the exact same way. getting why they did it and refusing to forgive them... can co-exist, can’t they? just like how our bad feelings can exist without making us bad people —— like how we can both exist, right? we can make something better out of this instead of just... destroying. we don’t have to be a couple of doormats to do that. ❞

a sniffle from his darker self prompts geno to nuzzle their foreheads together, to which their body wracks with a sob. knowing well what they feel, what he feels, he gives a bitter smile.

❝ i-if you... if things had been any different, ❞ is the last thing the dark star tells him, ❝ you would be just like me. ❞

geno exhales. ❝ i know. ❞ the world grows dark around him, and the sensation of another body to his begins to fade. ❝ i know. ❞

he doesn’t fear the rise of dawn, of actual sunlight, when it finally comes.
