GAKUEN K -WONDERFUL SCHOOL DAYS-

Fushimi Saruhiko route

Event 23

Translation below the cut

*in girls dorm*

Konohana Saya: (Towel, changing clothes, toothbrush, raingear, school trip bookmarks...)

Konohana Saya: (Yeah. Everything is complete. I'm so excited for tomorrow's school trip)

Konohana Saya: (I have to make sure I don't end up oversleeping because I can't sleep. It still too early, but let's go to bed)

Konohana Saya: (I'll be in Okinawa around this time tomorrow. It's unbelievable...)

*at Okinawa*

Claudia: "Well then, I'm going to roll-call. Please say your student number start from the front."

Boy student: "1!"

Girl student: "2!"

Neko: "Hyaa... it's hot..."

Yukizome Kukuri: "The sunlight here is so strong."

Konohana Saya: "But since it's dry and crisp, so it's probably easier to spend time here than at the school."  

Yukizome Kukuri: "But hey, there are an huge number of shops here. They're all crammed in a row."

Konohana Saya: "These are mostly a souvenir shops right? I can't decide what to buy."

Neko: "With all these shops, we can eat the sampling foods over and over again~"

Claudia: "Looks like everyone all here. Well then, you're all free to go now. Please go back to the hotel at 18.00 pm."

Konohana Saya: (I'd like to look around different shops)

Konohana Saya: (Now that I think about it, I'm so busy with the club activities, so I haven't decided with whom I wanted to go on my free activity...)

Konohana Saya: "Ah, Fushimi-kun! Have you decided where you are going?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "I'm going to look at the shops around there randomly."

Konohana Saya: "I see. If you like, do you want to look around with me?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "........others."

Konohana Saya: "Eh? What?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Are you okay to not look around with the other girls?"

Konohana Saya: "Actually, I haven't decided with whom I wanted to go on my free activity."

Konohana Saya: "If Fushimi-kun is alone too, do you want to go with me?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "....We're, paired up. I don't mind at all."

Konohana Saya: (I think the pair thing is unrelated since now is not the time of club activities, but...)

Konohana Saya: "Thank you! Well, let's go to the shops."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Yeah."

Konohana Saya: "First of all, where should we go... have you decided to buy a souvenirs?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "No. Before that, I don't buy souvenirs."

Konohana Saya: "Is that so?"

Konohana Saya: "Because I feel bad for making you go with me to look for my souvenirs only, if there's a place that you want to go just say so, okay?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Okay. What are you planning to buy?"

Konohana Saya: "For now, I can't skip to buy Shisa*, purple yam sweets, pineapple sweets and Ryukyu glass**"

(TL note: *Shisa is a lion dog statue from Okinawa. **Ryukyu glass is a glass from Okinawa that made with a beautiful pattern. Often coloured in blue but has some of other colours too.)

Fushimi Saruhiko: "You want to buy that much?"

Konohana Saya: "Uh-huh. Ah, this shop has a lot of sample food. Looks like it's a baked sweet shop."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Brown sugar, purple yam, and... mangrove flavour?"

Konohana Saya: "Mangrove is a tree that growing out of the sea, isn't it? What does that mean..."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "I have an extremely bad feeling about this, but I have never seen such deep green coloured food."

Konohana Saya: "So, that means it's a tree flavoured baked sweets. But it's written that this is a popular goods."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "I guess that means it's popular as an ingredients."

Konohana Saya: "Maybe. Ah, I'll buy this purple yam flavoured only."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "What, is this animal that I've never seen before..."

Konohana Saya: "It looks like a Shisa figure. Considering that, the height is very long. 'Unique Shisa figure shop'?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "That means, they're only selling a weird Shisa."

Konohana Saya: "This one is called munching Shisa. Take turns pressing the Shisa's fangs, and the person who gets bitten loses."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "I feel like I've heard it somewhere else before."

Konohana Saya: "It's written, please play it as you like. Want to try it?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Do it yourself."

Konohana Saya: "I'm safe. Fushimi-kun, you don't do it?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "...Just once, okay."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "!"

Konohana Saya: "A-Are you alright? You got bitten really hard..."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Tch..."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "This Shisa, is looked like you."

Konohana Saya: "This munching Shisa?"

Konohana Saya: (Am I making an interesting face like this?)

Fushimi Saruhiko: "What I mean is the part of unable to read the situation."

Konohana Saya: "It feels strangely amazing to spend time with Fushimi-kun like this. The school trip is so fun."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "I'm forced to be bought in. A school event like this is just troublesome."

Konohana Saya: (Ah, the glass that being sold over there...)

Konohana Saya: "Sorry, but please wait here for a moment."

Konohana Saya: (It looks exactly like Fushimi-kun's image. Let's buy this for his birthday present)

*at hotel*

Konohana Saya: (The bath feel so good)

Konohana Saya: (I've made a promise with Neko-chan to meet at the store to buy a coffee milk after the bath, but looks like she hasn't come yet)

Konohana Saya: (Let's sit on the sofa)

Konohana Saya: (It's Fushimi-kun)

Konohana Saya: (His hair is wet. Was Fushimi-kun just out of the bath too?)

-Wave hand (★)

-send a glance

Konohana Saya: (Let's try to wave at him)

Konohana Saya: (...He ignored me. Well, I didn't expect him to wave back at me)

Konohana Saya: (....! He's looking back and lifted his right hand... is he waving back at me...)

Neko: "Sorry for making you wait!"

Konohana Saya: "N-Neko-chan..."

Neko: "Huh? Aren't you in a daze?"

Konohana Saya: "N-No. I'm alright."

Neko: "Is that so? Then let's go to the store! Coffee milk is a must after a bath!"

Konohana Saya: (Maybe because I didn't thought he will wave back at me, so I'm surprised...)

Falling into Sin with the Black Tiger ~ Gilbert's 4th Birthday

▪︎ Chapter 1

CW- smut, mentions of blood

As the end of the year approached, a significant day was about to arrive.

Gilbert: What do I want to do?

Emma: That’s right. Can you please tell me anything?

I was sitting on my knees on the bed, wiping Gilbert’s hair with linen after his bath.

I wanted to give the impression that I was only casually probing….at least that’s what I thought.

Gilbert: Hehe, you’re a man of your word, that’s impressive, isn’t it?

Gilbert: You’re celebrating me again this year.

(I was found out in an instant.)

Emma: I promised you last year.

----*flashback*----

Emma: I’ll definitely celebrate with you again next year.

Gilbert: Hehe, I get it. As long as you’re you, I’ll celebrate.

----*flashback ends*----

Emma: I think it’s going to be an annual event from now on.

Gilbert: Ahaha, I never thought you would say something like that after I came home covered in blood.

(….I guess it wasn’t just my imagination after all.)

A little while ago, when Gilbert returned, he smelled of blood and gunpowder.

There were no visible bloodstains because his clothes were all black, but that couldn’t fool my nose, which has become capable of detecting such ominous scents.

(Gilbert always warns me.)

(So I don’t commit a sin unconsciously.)

Emma: …I always think about it.

Emma: Every time you come home covered in blood, I feel glad that you are safe.

Emma: ….I think about that before I even start thinking about whose blood you shed.

(Controlling evil with evil. I understand that this is Prince Gilbert’s way….)

(And yet, I pray every single day for his safety.)

Gilbert: Hehe, sorry. I was being mean again. I was just happy to be celebrated by you.

Gilbert, who had been facing forward, turned around and kissed me lightly on my cheeks.

Gilbert: I won’t say it again.

Gilbert: But I think asking me about what I want to do is stupid.

Gilbert: I love you a lot, so just being able to be with you like this fulfills most of my wishes.

Emma: Please be more greedy and villainous.

Gilbert: Am I not greedy enough?

Emma: It’s not enough at all. I want you to wish for something that’s different than usual since it’s a special day.

Gilbert: ..mmmm…

Gilbert: ….I feel like I’m facing the biggest challenge of my life.

(Is it that much!?)

Gilbert, while groaning as if in deep thought, wraps his hand around my head and gently pulls me closer.

He playfully pecks my lips several times, and before I knew it, I was pushed down onto the bed.

(…..Huh?)

Gilbert: What’s wrong?

Even though his words sound thoughtful, Gilbert pulls down my negligee and kisses my exposed skin, and I don’t get an answer to my question.

Emma: A..are you really thinking about it?

Gilbert: I am thinking about it. I am thinking about it harder than ever.

Gilbert: Are you questioning my sincerity, little rabbit? That’s cruel.

Gilbert smiles as he gently bites my collarbone. My breasts are played with by the tip of his tongue, and my hot and sweet breaths, melt away.

Gilbert: What do I really want?

(Maybe Gilbert isn’t used to these kind of things.)

When I touch his slightly damp hair, he snuggles up to me, like he wants to be petted.

I get carried away and ruffle his hair, and then our lips meet again.

(…Let’s wait patiently.)

(There’s still a lot of things to do for the day.)

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ㅤ𔘓 ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

In Obsidian, which is known as the land of minerals, gems can be found all over the city.

There seems to be a particularly strong sales campaign going on before Christmas, with special stalls lined up before the stores.

In Rhodolite, gemstones are something that only the aristocratic people have access to. But here, they are familiar to all the people, regardless of their social status.

(This is troublesome….)

(I wanted to give Gilbert some stones, but with this many varieties it is difficult.)

To Gilbert, who is a member of the royal family, jewels are not valuable at all.

However, he had told me about it some time back, on my birthday.

In Obsidian, it is customary to gift jewels on special occasions. The more loved you are, the more jewels you’ll have around you in your final moments.

(I’m the only one who can gift a jewel to Gilbert.)

(I’ve decided that I will definitely give this to him, regardless of his wishes.)

(…..I did decide that but…..)

Sapphires, topaz, diamonds, rubies, emeralds….

Even when I look at these beautiful gemstones, I can’t find anything I associate with Gilbert.

(Rather than worrying about it alone, I should ask an expert. Maybe they can give me some advice.)

Emma: Excuse me. I’m looking for a birthday gift and I want to know what’s popular right now.

Jeweller: Oh, in that case----

Jeweller: ….ngh…

(……)

(….I’ve gotten used to this reaction.)

The pale eyes of the jeweller stare deep into mine.

He might be sensing an unusual murderous intent.

Emma: …..I’m sorry. I’ll think about it myself.

I quickly left the store and went down an unseen ally.

Emma: Gil, are you there?

Gilbert: Ahaha, I was found right away.

Shū Being Socially Awkward

🎻Shū may come off as nonchalant, but he’s actually quite socially awkward (even stated by Yui+ Reiji) Yuma tries to give him a fist bump but Shū genuinely doesn’t know what it is and stands there like “huh?🧍���”

This could be due to his lack of socializing during childhood and his self-isolation as he got older. (aww)

Yuma: There ya have it, so just leave this to me. Come on...

Shuu: ...What?

Yuma: Haah? Ya don't know 'bout this? Ya gotta bump your fist 'gainst mine! God, these rich kids, I swear.

Shuu: ...Shut up.

Yuma: Come on, show me yer fist already. Or are ya still hesitant 'bout leaving this up to me?

Shuu: That's not it...

*attempts a fist bump*

Yuma: 'Kay, this'll do. Guess I'lI get goin' then🎻

Mugenro Yato Jagasaki Main Route Chapter - 1 Brief Summary.

I am hereby uploading summaries of Yato Jagasaki's main route for my own personal archive and for those who can't access the game due to server restrictions. Fan translation only. Not 100% accurate. Please expect grammatical errors. Cybird and DMM games owns everything. Feel free to re-blog.

Content warning - MDNI

The prologue had already been translated by @ikemen-translations.

*Mugenro Yato Jagasaki Main Route Ch - 1 Brief Summary* -

After burning one of the incense sticks, MC enters the dream tower Mugenro where she meet receptionist Gasha kun. Gasha kun explains MC that it is a brothel and asks her to choose one of the male prostitutes. MC asks if it's necessary for her to choose. To which Gasha kun replies that since she has already come to the dream tower, she should enjoy herself until incense stick burns out. Considering it a weird dream, MC chooses one of the male prostitute - Yato Jagasaki. Gasha kun told her that Yato is one of the most popular candidate and is often demanded by customers. He proceeds to escort MC to Yato's room but in the midway he leaves her to run an errand. MC then spots a snake carrying sake upon his head. She follows the snake through the corridor which leads her to a blonde man staring at the moon across the balcony. When he sees her, he gets shocked and asks why is she here. MC finds the man familiar and realizes that he is that quite customer who comes to her shop regularly. At the same point, Gasha kun arrives and introduces the blonde man as Yato Jagasaki. Yato takes MC to his room where she explains him how she arrives at the tower after burning an incense stick she has got from a black haired man. Yato's facial expression twists and he mentions that the man must be Kuzuha. MC also tells him about her insomnia and her dual jobs while Yato was preparing tea. Yato asks if it's debt due to which she is doing two jobs simultaneously. MC denies and explains she is working this much due to her 'dream'. Hearing this, Yato's expression softens and he says - _then, let me make sure you enjoy this dream to the fullest and relive your tiredness_ and pushes MC down to the bed. He holds her hands above her head and drives her to orgasm multiple times by fingering. The CG we get at the end of the chapter is below -

GAKUEN K -WONDERFUL SCHOOL DAYS-

Fushimi Saruhiko route

Event 27

Translation below the cut

Announcer: "Thank you for waiting. From here we will start the interdivisional talent contest."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Are you ready?"

Konohana Saya: "Y-Yeah. I'm ready...!"

Konohana Saya: (Finally, the school festival's main event. Thanks to the intensive training everyday after school, controlling my ability is almost perfect)

Konohana Saya: (But, I can't believe we're going first...!)

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Your face is really stiff."

Konohana Saya: "I'm nervous..."

Announcer: "This contest winner will be decided based from the voting by the judge teachers and from all of those who are present."

Announcer: "Please watch until the end."

Announcer: "Well then, entry number one. Appearance of Blue club."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Just do as you have practiced. You don't need to be nervous."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Come on, get on stage."

Konohana Saya: "Y-Yeah!"

Konohana Saya: (Whaa... everyone is looking at us. What should I do if it fails...)

Konohana Saya: (Although Fushimi-kun said something like that, I can't help being nervous)

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Oi, hurry up do it."

Konohana Saya: "H-Here we go."

Konohana Saya: (Do as what I've practiced. Concentrating on my hand like, this...)

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Idiot! You're overdoing it!"

Konohana Saya: (The ability just as I've practiced is...!)

Konohana Saya: "Ah!"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Stop your ability now!"

Konohana Saya: (The plant is growing too much and it's growing right to the audience seats!?)

Konohana Saya: (That's bad, I have to stop my ability!)

Fushimi Saruhiko: "I'll cut the trees with my saber. You need to stop your ability as soon as possible."

Konohana Saya: (To stop my ability is relaxing my body...)

Konohana Saya: "......No, I can't stop it. I could have done it in practice!"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "You have too much strength in your body!"

Konohana Saya: (I just can't help it...!)

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Damn it!"

*later in captain's club*

Munakata Reishi: "It's quite an interesting program. It had an impact that made us to be on the edge just by watching it."

Konohana Saya: "I am really sorry for making an uproar."

Munakata Reishi: "......But there's no one injured, and we missed out on the win, but for an impact aspect, it's the very best."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Impact aspect or anything, it's only an impact."

Munakata Reishi: "Just as I thought, I'm glad that I'm entrusting this to you two. You guys were doing well for contributing on the excitement of school's festival."

Konohana Saya: "I'm happy that my ability could make everyone delighted a bit, but..."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "It's almost caused an accidental freak-out though."

Konohana Saya: "But because Fushimi-kun was stopping it, so it turned out to be okay."

Konohana Saya: "I'm so glad that I'm being paired up with Fushimi-kun."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "......Even I can't always be your pair forever."

Munakata Reishi: "Fushimi-kun, Konohana-san, thank you for your hard work participating as the big role in talent contest."

Konohana Saya: "Not at all. Thank you for entrusting the big role to us."

Munakata Reishi: "Because you two might be tired, I don't mind if you are leaving. Please rest well."

Konohana Saya: "Yes, I understand."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Excuse us."

Konohana Saya: "Even though there's an unexpected incident, I'm glad that somehow we managed to make it successful."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "That is, not a words to say from a someone that created the unexpected incident."

Konohana Saya: "Ahaha. You're right. I've got helped by Fushimi-kun again."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "From the very beginning, I'm a supporting role for dealing with the trouble at the talent contest."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "I'm just doing my duty."

Konohana Saya: "Even so, I'm grateful."

Konohana Saya: "If Fushimi-kun didn't follow-up, maybe it could have been the same kind of disturbance I've caused at the previous school."

Konohana Saya: "Thank you for helping me."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "......Don't be too naive. The one who suggested you to use your ability is me."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "If your pattern of thinking is like that, someday you will be deceived and get hurt."

Konohana Saya: "Naive, huh. I didn't mean to be like that though..."

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Tch."

Konohana Saya: "You're going back to the school? Did you forgot something?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "I just want to meet with the captain."

Konohana Saya: "Did you remember about having a business?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "I'm going to cancel the pair with you."

Konohana Saya: "W-Why!?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Why, huh... you don't want to be forced and always being paired up with me, do you?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Although the main event was failed, but this time, because of the intensive training, your power is considerably stable. If requested, it's expected that the pair is getting cancelled."

Konohana Saya: "No, don't. After all, I've just come to understand Fushimi-kun!"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Huh...?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "What do you mean by I can't? You're always apologizing at the beginning and afraid of me, aren't you?"

Konohana Saya: "It's true that at first you have a scary impression, but it's different now."

Konohana Saya: "I know a lot of Fushimi-kun's gentle side."

Konohana Saya: "I like Fushimi-kun, so I would be lonely if you cancel the pairing!"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "H-Huh......?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "Tch... as expected, you're a dangerously good-natured person."

Konohana Saya: "You won't cancel the pairing, right?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "You're noisy. I understand. I won't cancel it."

Konohana Saya: "Thank goodness. From now on, can I stay together with you...?"

Fushimi Saruhiko: "......It's up to you."

Wand of Fortune R Translation - Alvaro Garay (Romantic Ending) Translation

恋愛エンド - Romantic Ending

I somehow managed to pass the final exam and I was once again granted permission to study at the Mills Claire Magic Academy, but...

By my side, there was always the figure of Alvaro.

Always.... literally

Alvaro: "Lulu-chan"

As I was about to head back to the dorm in a hurried pace,

A familiar voice called out, stopping me.

When I turned around, as expected, he was there.

He was waving his hands gently and wearing his usual smile. 

Lulu: "Hey, Alvaro… Why are you here?"

Alvaro: "That's a strange thing to ask. My classes are only in the morning today, you know?”

Lulu: "Uh…"

Alvaro: "Then unless you have a special reason, You wouldn't be passing by here in the evening, right?"

Lulu: "So... that reason is—?"

Bathed in the beautiful sunset, Alvaro gave a mischievous smile.

Alvaro: "Of course, I was waiting for you. Do you think there's anything more important in this world than that?"

Lulu: "......I think there are plenty of things......"

 I mumbled a timid rebuttal while being pushed by his usual lighthearted tone.

Lulu: "But... didn't you say you'd go home first today, Alvaro?"

Alvaro: "I changed my mind. I suddenly wanted to see your face."

Alvaro: "That's why I waited, But are you dissatisfied with that reason?"

I let out a deep breath. Maybe this behavior is a kind of harassment. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure this guess is almost certainly true...

Flashback—

That day.

The mark I risked my life to place on Alvaro had magnificently captured him. That mark, modified from the 'Sheep of Ginoredo,' is essentially like a malicious collar.

Our two lives are linked—if one dies, the other dies too. The basic part is the same, but… Additionally, as the caster, I have the added bonus of being able to restrict Alvaro’s actions with just a single thought—a rather powerful perk.

But above all, the rule that must be followed is— The seal's effect will only vanish when I die. 

When Alvaro learned that, he silently looked up at the sky. Then, for some reason, burst into laughter...

— Flashback End

Since that day, Alvaro has been sticking to me in an almost comically obvious way.

Lulu: "Hey, you know... Alvaro, I think you're staying way too close to me...!"

Alvaro: "If I'm not by your side, Lulu-chan, wouldn't you be the one troubled?"

Alvaro: "If you don't keep a close watch on me, Who knows what I might do?"

Lulu: "Uuu......"

Alvaro is certainly right,

And after all, I'm the one who created the seal—

The seed I sowed myself...

Still, sometimes it does get a little exhausting.

Lulu:  Haaa…

An amused Alvaro peered into my face.

Alvaro:  "Hey, Lulu-chan. Do you maybe regret creating the seal after all?"

Lulu: "I don't."

Alvaro: "Hmm... Well, even if you regret it, It's too late now."

"Until the seal loses its power— Lulu-chan, until the day you die, I won’t leave your side."

Alvaro: "......Though, when you die there's a high chance I'll be dead too."

Lulu: .....

Alvaro uttered the word “die” in a very cheerful tone. 

That carefree nature exactly what makes Alvaro who he is,

But still...

Thinking about the distant future, I couldn't help but feel a little conflicted.

Lulu: "A-a-anyway… I think the seal will be stable even if you don’t cling to me every single day."

Alvaro: "Come on now, Lulu-chan. Instead of saying that, why not change your perspective?

How about just falling for me instead?"

Alvaro: "Wouldn't that be fun? You'd get to cling to someone you love every day and that sounds pretty great, doesn't it?"

Lulu: "Alvaro, if I fall for you won't you just use my feelings to try and escape the seal's restrictions?"

Alvaro: "So you know, huh? I'm glad you're growing, But thinking about myself... it's a bit disappointing."

Lulu:...

I tried to keep a calm face. 

But Alvaro, saying such things without a hint of guilt, made my chest ache just a little.

Even though he's smiling at me like this, maybe deep down—

Alvaro resents me.

Every time Alvaro comes near,

I hate how I end up thinking that way—so pessimistic...

As we walked along the path to the dorm, I quietly asked.

Lulu: "You actually hate me, don't you?"

Alvaro: "I love you."

Lulu: “Lies…!!"

He said it so casually, and I couldn’t help but raise my voice at him.

Alvaro: "Why do you think that? I really like you. I’ve been saying it all along, haven’t I?"

Lulu: "But there’s no way you like me!"

"I did something terrible—I took away your freedom with magic!"

"How could I possibly love someone like that……?!"

I couldn’t hold back the emotions I’d been carrying inside and let them all out.

Then, he suddenly stopped and turned a cold gaze toward me.

Alvaro: "Then what about you, Lulu?"

Lulu: "Me…?"

His expression suddenly blank, he asked me in a sharp voice.

Alvaro: "Yeah. You’re the one who should explain—what were you thinking, doing something like this?  Not letting anyone leave your side…… This is a curse that will ruin your entire life. Frankly, it’s insane. What on earth are you thinking……?"

Lulu: …

Seeing that I had no intention of answering, Alvaro gave a sarcastic smile.

Alvaro: "Though, even with this kind of trap, you can’t take away my 『Freedom.』"

Lulu: "Huh?"

Alvaro: "If I truly desired freedom, I wouldn’t choose to be kept and killed by you—I’d cut my own throat and end it."

Lulu: "I see……"

I thought to myself that he might be right.

Alvaro gets bored quickly.

It’s probably because he doesn’t know what true enjoyment means.

So he keeps searching for new entertainment, gets bored, and throws them away.

……If I said he was like a child, he’d probably get mad, wouldn’t he?

Lulu: "If Alvaro desired freedom, I’d die with him too……"

Alvaro: "Yeah. That’s how it’d be. So you’d better enjoy the present while you can."

Lulu: ....

I stopped in my tracks and turned to face him again.

Lulu: "Hey, Alvaro. About what you said earlier… I think I might agree with it, just a little."

I turned fully toward Alvaro and reached out both hands to his face—

Alvaro: !?

Rising onto my tiptoes, I gently pressed my lips to his, which were slightly parted in surprise.

From his faintly open lips, I could feel his startled breath.

My cheeks were surely red, but the setting sun would hide them for now.

My first kiss was with Alvaro.

Because I wanted it to be, I acted without hesitation.

Lulu: ....

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it might break—but that’s a secret.

The warmth I felt was so sweet, and my chest burned with an aching longing. I could barely breathe—.

With a casual demeanor, as if nothing had happened, I pulled away from Alvaro.

Alvaro: "……Lulu-chan. What was that just now?"

Alvaro’s voice carried a hint of seriousness as he gave me an appraising look.

Alvaro: "Did my words get to you? Trying to change your perspective, huh?"

Lulu: "Yes. So I thought I’d try taking things more seriously."

Alvaro: "Huh…… Lulu-chan, I’m honored that you’d come to like me."

Lulu: "No, it’s the opposite."

Staring into Alvaro’s eyes, I smiled softly.

Lulu: "It’s Alvaro who’s going to fall for me."

Alvaro: “Ha…?”

To the bewildered Alvaro, I seriously conveyed my feelings.

Lulu: "Things like wanting to escape from my mark, or wanting to be free even if it means dying—"

"I want Alvaro to stop thinking like that—"

"And fall for me instead."

At least—.

At least as much as the feelings I hold in my heart for him.

Alvaro: "……Are you saying that kiss just now was meant to charm me?"

Lulu: "Did you let yourself be charmed?"

Alvaro: ….

Lulu: "Speaking of which, I still haven’t used the prize I won from our bet, have I You said you’d listen to one thing I asked, no matter what it was.”

Using those words as a shield, I smiled sweetly.

Lulu: …. Should I use it now?"

Alvaro: "Are you serious?"

Lulu: “Who knows?”

As I started walking with a laugh, Alvaro followed slightly behind, wearing a wry smile.

Yeah. This feels more like me than worrying about things!

What fills my heart must be the magic of love.

The staff I got from Grandma will make sure any magic succeeds in the end.

That’s right…….

The 『Fortune』 this staff points to is right here, in my hands—.

End.

A Beast's Drink~ Christmas Special Story

𝑺𝒊𝒍𝒗𝒊𝒐 & 𝑨𝒛𝒆𝒍

This is a fan translation so please don't expect it to be 100% accurate. Creative liberties have been taken. All content belongs to Cybird.

One winter day, as Christmas was nearing in Benitoite….

Azel: I knew about the Christmas celebrations, but this is so gorgeous and wonderful. It smells like money.

Silvio: Is this okay? A God is celebrating the birth of a God.

Azel: Is that a problem? I always have had faith in you, Prince Silvio.

Silvio: That was not what I was talking ‘bout.

Silvio: Even so…ya still ain’t drinking alcohol.

Azel: I don’t drink alcohol, but I am having juice in a wine glass to show my respect to the God of Wealth.

Azel: Please allow these fine alcohols to be offered to the God of Wealth.

Silvio: We’ve prepared the offerings and everything else.

Silvio: Also, if ya wanna show respect, stop calling me that. That’s downright disrespectful.

Silvio: So, what do ya want?

Azel: What do you mean? 

Silvio: Ya came all the way here at this time of the year. There’s gotta some reason behind it.

Azel: Christmas

Silvio: Huh?

Azel: I came to see the Christmas celebrations.

Azel: It is something that does not happen in my country.

Silvio: Hah, a God himself is inspecting the religious festivities of some other country? It ain’t easy being a living God.

Azel: Oh I am serious.

Azel: In Tanzanite, my birthday celebrations are somewhat similar to the Christmas celebrations here.

Azel: But unfortunately, we do not expect the same amount of commercial benefits as Christmas.

Azel: In that aspect, Benitoite’s Christmas is truly splendid.

Azel: It encourages consumption of cakes, alcohol and other lavish meals, and also stimulates the desire of purchasing things under the pretext of ‘gifts’.

Azel: Especially when it comes to seasonal foods and items. They are the ones of most value as customers always rush to buy them.

Azel: There’s no reason to not have this.

Silvio: You’re the same old greedy bastard.

Azel: And that’s not all.

Silvio: Huh?

Azel: On the surface you’re a billionaire, but on the inside, you’re a kind-hearted man like Santa Clause..

Azel: Seems like this God, who has a philanthropic spirit and abundant wealth, distributes presents to the poor every year.

Silvio: ….....

Azel: You understand what I mean, right?

Silvio: Is this it? A new threat?

Azel: Not at all. It's just a simple request.

Silvio: Sorry, but Santa Claus only gives presents to ‘good kids’.

Silvio: In other words, you aren’t eligible for the distribution.

Silvio: In a lot of ways..

Azel: ………

Azel: That really hurt me. I am a very good and merciful God.

Azel: I don’t think I’ll be able to recover from this unless I receive compensation.

Silvio: Huh? A good person? You?

Silvio: Ya sure know how to use your words. You should quit being a God and become a con-man instead.

Azel: When Prince Silvio says that he wants me to become his personal con-man, it makes my heart waver.

Silvio:  Don’t let it waver. The hell’s a personal con-man anyway?

Azel: He’s like a supreme blessing, always by Prince Silvio’s side, granting him protection, money, and gifts.

Silvio: He seems like a curse.

Azel: Saying God is a curse….is it okay if I demand double the compensation?

Silvio: Sure, by all means.

Azel: I would appreciate a Christmas gift then.

Azel: Good things come from showing your devotion to God. For instance…

Azel: The true identity of Benitoite’s Santa Claus will remain shrouded in mystery forever…

Silvio:  Hah, you’re asking for hush money?

Azel: You are actually having trouble, aren’t you? Some of the kids seem to have noticed.

Azel: I can protect their innocence by wrapping them in dreams. It’s not a bad deal.

Silvio: Ya really are perceptive.

Azel: I have a principle of never missing out on big-money opportunities.

Silvio: Fine. I’ll give ya the gift ya want, so work hard to make up for it, my personal con-man.

Azel: As Prince Silvio wishes.

This is my first translation of a full story so there might be mistakes here and there.

I hope you guys enjoyed reading and re-blogs are appreciated! ♡

Kokuto Neji's Story

Translation of Neji's concept art short story (original) for his birthday on March 22nd. Story by Shin Towada (JJ lead writer and Ishida's sister). Art by Lownine. Much like the others, there aren't really any spoilers as it's at the very beginning of the game before the first play.

The stage is a gigantic machine. Jacks and Jeannes are the gears and I'm the mechanic who assembles them all.

The darkened room is lit solely by a clattering computer with light strong enough to rival the midday sun. The bookshelves along the walls are crammed tight beyond usual capacity. The remaining books that couldn't fit have been turned into a fort on the floor. "Hmmm." Out of that pile, he easily picks out a book while holding a cup of coffee in his other hand. The one craning his neck towards the computer screen is the owner of this room. He's a third-year at Univeil Drama School. Working under somewhat special circumstances, he's the leader of Quartz: Kokuto Neji. His classmates include the Quartz Al Jeanne, Sarafumi Takashina, and Jack Ace, Kai Mutsumi. Taking liberal advantage of Univeil's culture of respect for personal autonomy, Neji doesn't just write and perform. He's able to act as both a Jack and a Jeanne, using his many talents to bring the performance together. Even now, he's in the middle of making preparations for the newcomers' performance. His eyes dart around as he scrolls through the screen. He's fidgety inside his head. For this reason, a knock at the door rings out unusually strongly.

"Yes, yes, come iiiin!" As Neji snaps back to reality, he opens the door with a feeling of anticipation. "Thanks." Behind the door stands a person with pale skin and soft hair. So soft it's as if the colour has faded and dissolved. This utterly adorable person raises his eyes towards Neji. "Why on earth would you call me over here then ignore me? I have things to do too you know." The edge of criticism in his voice gives a very different impression from his outside appearance. "Sorry about that, Shirota!" Mitsuki Shirota. He's a second-year, one year below Neji. As one would expect from his looks, he's been assigned to female roles as a Jeanne. "Honestly, I didn't think you'd actually show up." Shirota's eyes grow sharper as he speaks without hesitation. "Using a first-year as your carrier pigeon, what kind of excuse is that?" Neji had casually requested one of the brand new Quartz students to send Shirota to his office. "Well weren't you the one who told me to stop asking Kai to do things?" "Obviously. You shouldn't be using our Jack Ace for your trivial errands." "Right, so instead I asked this new person to be a pinch hitter." "I said to stop doing that too. Ugh, what do you want?" "How did that kid get you to come here? What kinda trap did he use?" "…You called me here for no reason didn't you. I'm leaving." "Hey, wait!" As Shirota turns to leave, Neji holds out both of his hands as if to say 'I'm sorry, I'm screwed up!' Shirota's expression darkens, recognizing that Neji hasn't reflected on his actions one bit. "So? What do you want?" Neji prefaces his words with, "I guess I messed up a bit," before finally cutting to the chase. "What is your impression of the first-years?" Shirota furrows his brow. "You asked Fumi and Kai this too, didn't you?" "You're right, I did!" He had asked both Fumi and Kai the same question. "If you have answers from both the Al Jeanne and Jack Ace, that should be enough. Why do you need to ask me too?" "What are you talking about?! You're our Tresor. You're our flower too!" Tresor is the name for Univeil Jeannes with strong singing abilities. The title suits Shirota perfectly. His outstanding vocal talents add vibrant colour to their performances. It's popular with audiences too. "I am glad you're with Quartz still though. I know you're pretty in-demand with Rhodonite." Shirota stays silent at the mention of that name. Univeil is divided into four separate classes with their own special traits. As the "transparent" Quartz class, they are primarily made up of inexperienced performers who have yet to find their true colours. This could put the class at a disadvantage, but really there are quite a few who enrol brimming with hidden talents. Quartz gives them the space to let those talents free. The content of their performances are tailored specifically for the current state of the class. The songs, dances, acting, all of it.

In contrast, classes like Onyx and Rhodonite have clearly defined colours. Powerful Jack dancers are the main selling point of Onyx, whereas Rhodonite pushes the dazzling singing talents of their Jeannes front and centre. Considering Shirota's abilities, it wouldn't be strange at all for him to have been sorted into Rhodonite. Actually, Rhodonite's class leader is pretty taken with him. But whatever class you look at, all of them are desperately aiming for that top spot -- now more than ever.

"So? What do you think of this year's new students?" Neji's tone of voice drops for the first time in this conversation,"You know it won't be good if things stay as they are, right? What with Amber and all…" That's the name of the fourth Univeil class. But it's hard to act as if the others are on equal ground with them. Shirota seems to grasp the weight of these words. He grips the sky blue tie around his neck as he appears deep in thought. He finally opens his mouth. "…There are three people I noticed," he says bluntly. Starting with Person 1. "Orimaki. I don't know how he got into Univeil with his singing skills so low, but his voice is strong and direct." Onto Person 2. "Yonaga. Him being as he is, he's a late bloomer who's constantly nervous about how he even got into Univeil. But he also thinks twice as much about the meaning of each song. That being said…"

Shirota's immediate answer suddenly hits a pause. "It's possible both of them just got my attention because they aren't very good." "In that case, they should consider themselves lucky you graced your eyes on them." Neji jokes then stares at him intently. "And the third person?" Mitsuki sighs at being asked for his final answer. "It's the one you made into your little carrier pigeon." A voice deep in Neji's heart whispers 'I knew it.' "So then, does our carrier pigeon also have a glimmer of sparkle out of a mountain of problems like Orimaki and Yonaga do?" "No, that guy is…" Shirota hesitates a moment as he chooses his words carefully. "I still don't know yet." "You don't know, which means…?" "Exactly what I said." He speaks as if to say he will give no further comment on the matter. "Is that enough for you now? I'm leaving." Having finished what he was asked, Shirota heads for the door. "Ah, one last thing! How did this pigeon get you to come over here?" Shirota is the type who prefers not to group up with others in class. He keeps a distance between himself and other people. He's not the type someone could easily convince by just asking outright. Even moreso if it comes from a student younger than him. "……" Shirota responds to Neji's hastily thrown words with silence. He opens the door to leave. That's as far as we're getting today, is it? "…It wasn't anything special." Neji's mood suddenly shifts at the sound of a reply he didn't expect to ever hear. "I was just taking a short break during practice and he came up to me and said 'Neji was asking for you'." A surprised 'ohh?' slips out of Neji's mouth. "So in other words, he chose when to make the request based on timing that would work for you?" There are times when Shirota is busy singing of course; however, there are also a lot of times when he appears to be doing nothing, but is actually busy arranging music in his mind. Figuring out the timing of when he's truly taking a break is no easy task. Even aside from the music, there are times when he doesn't want to be hassled with having to talk to someone. Using this understanding of his quirks, that carrier pigeon was able to start up a conversation. "Isn't that actually quite special after all?!" Neji says with a nod of admiration.

Upon hearing this, Shirota restrains himself from turning around and calling him a bald-faced liar. "This was all part of your plan, wasn't it?" His eyes sharply say, 'You haven't fooled me.' "Turning him into your carrier pigeon worked out just as you planned. Getting me to show up here and to name him as one of the students I noticed. You already knew all these things. It was just a ploy to confirm them." Shirota states his assertions strongly. Neji grins. He keeps up the act that there's no hidden motive behind his actions, but it smells like a lie. Shirota's face fills with disgust. He passes through the door, speaking as if he cannot bear to be around Neji any longer. "Please don't use me as a ruler for measuring other people." He shuts the door immediately to not let the conversation linger. "My my, Shirota is quite clever isn't he." Listening to the footsteps fade into the distance, Neji stifles his smile. "But regardless, the fact that pigeon was able to navigate this sense of distance with Shirota shows he might have quite a number of uses." This could be precisely reflected on-stage too. Neji's mind overflows with so many different ideas at an intensity that could give birth to a whole other world. "However, the 'I still don't know' part is there too. Fumi and Kai said the same thing." It seems difficult to learn the true nature of this bird. Even for Neji, there's many things about this younger student he's still unable to grasp. "The stage is a gigantic machine. Jacks and Jeannes are the gears…and I'm the mechanic who assembles them all. What shape will these talents take? Just watch and see." Neji takes a sip from the coffee he's been holding all this time. It went cold ages ago, but in this moment it's just what his body needs.
