7;  merry’s school broadcast - blossom

listen along・masterpost

                                                                     ✿

Hello.

Do you remember?

The Seven Wonders of Nanagiri Academy.

One of them, Merry’s School Broadcast.

Of course you didn’t forget.

I didn’t either.

It’s morning!

You’ll be late to university!

We promised we’d go together today.

If you oversleep, I’ll sulk all day.

Eh?! Okay!

I’ll do whatever you want so please wake up.

Are you awake?

Don’t go back to sleep!!

Apparently, Merry’s School Broadcast had always been a lonely one.

But one day, he sounded rather nervous as he started his broadcast.

The day I decided to tell you my feelings.

I’ve never regretted taking that first step.

I don’t know what’s waiting for us down the line.

I don’t know how we’re supposed to live.

There are many things I’m worried about.

But that’s okay.

Taking all that into account and still being in love is a wonderful thing.

You haven’t forgotten anything, right?

Ah, do you have your textbooks?

That’s the book Hanawo gave you…

This hidden message…

Apparently he wrote it as a joke.

He probably didn’t think it would become a reality.

Today is a normal day.

The students at your university.

The staff at the movie theater.

No one knows we’re in love.

But that doesn’t mean something like that won’t happen again…

Ah, don’t worry.

I won’t do anything to make you sad anymore.

Let’s take each day at our own pace.

If we do that, something might blossom.

One day people will understand that our love isn’t wrong.

Until that day--

No, even after that day--

Let me be by your side.

Now, let’s go!

Ah, before that…

Erm…

Let’s do our best today too.

[risukadarlin]

[yuugen romantica] mantenkou vol. 3: merry - track two

2; a peaceful and disquieting movie theatre

listen along・masterpost

                                                                         ✿

Thanks to all the fussing before we left, we only just made it in time.

Let’s see… F… Q…

Ah, this is our seat!

We were lucky to get a seat right at the front!

Actually, we’re the only people here…

Well, it’s late and most couples would usually watch a romance movie.

I shouldn’t be surprised.

Ah, it’s starting.

I’m excited.

                                                                         ✿

Ah, traditional Japanese horror movies really are great.

The gradual build-up of tension is indescribable!

Ah! What’s the matter?!

If you hold my hand, I’ll get shy…

You’re shaking…

It is quite an emotionally heavy story.

If you’re too scared we can leave.

You don’t look okay…

I understand.

Then let me do this.

I’m sorry for possessing you.

I can’t hug you in the theatre like I can at home.

Can you relax more like this?

I’m glad.

Ah, I’m sorry for being so noisy so close to your ear.

I’ll be quiet for now.

Really?

Then I’ll talk while we’re watching it.

Ah, this scene was in the trailer too.

If I remember correctly, it comes from behind…

You can’t scream like that in the cinema.

There aren’t any other customers now so it’s okay, but…

But it was amazing…

The sound of your scream echoing in an empty movie theatre.

This is getting quite fun.

Do you want me to add other special effects?

I can send a chill down your spine.

Just like this…

Ah, that was perfect timing.

My hand is cold, isn’t it?

You’ve got goosebumps.

Here, right where I’m touching…

Are you okay?

Isn’t it thrilling? It’s almost like we’re in the movie.

What should I do next?

Don’t say that.

You’re so cute when you’re scared.

Let me do this for just a bit longer.

Here.

A really tense scene just started.

You should brace yourself.

Please look at the screen.

That was me.

Haha.

You’re always so cute when you’re scared, no matter how many times I see it.

Huh?

Ah.

I’m sorry.

I teased you too much.

I apologise.

I’m right by your side so let’s enjoy it properly from now on.

                                                                         ✿

That was so impressive!

When the ghost came out of the screen, I felt a sense of kinship!

But it was such a surprising ending.

It was more like a monster than a ghost.

They had to fight it off with a bazooka.

Yes, I wanted tension from the first half to continue all the way through.

But it was an interesting movie.

Hm?

This limited seasonal burger is delicious.

You can have some of my fries, if you want.

Eh? “Why am I so familiar with this restaurant”?

Ah, the truth is...

I used to come to places like this sometimes before I ended up at Nanagiri Academy.

I wasn’t hungry but it always seemed fun.

There are always people here even at night.

My feet would bring me here before I even realised it.

I didn’t know how to transform into a human back then.

I’d just hide in the very corner of the shop.

It was comforting just to be by someone’s side.

I was alone from the moment I first opened my eyes.

All I could do was scare people and wander aimlessly.

I must have been subconsciously searching for warmth.

I never thought my life would end up like this.

No one in this store…

No, no one on earth could have foreseen it.

The idea that a terrifying urban legend would fall in love and live happily.

It seems--

Huh?

Is it a power cut?

Stay there, moving could be dangerous.

Ah, of course.

It must be scary after seeing that movie.

Wait a second.

I’m right here.

Please try not to worry.

Yes, you’re a good girl.

Now you mention in…

Do you remember?

When we first met, I went to your house and accidentally turned off the breaker.

You were still scared of me then.

You were so surprised you threw your phone across the room.

That’s right!

You were surprised by my powers---

Huh?

What was that?

The sound of a bell?

Huh? Ah, it’s nothing!

I’m sorry! I spaced out.

It’s really nothing.

Ah, good.

The lights came back on.

I didn’t think there were blackouts this short.

We got interrupted, didn’t we?

Erm… What were we talking about?

Ah, that’s right!

You threw your phone in surprise and…

And…

Then what happened?

Ah, no, I just forgot.

How rude of me.

Isn’t that weird?

Maybe I’m tired.

That’s right.

Let’s hurry home and rest for today.

But…

I’d never forget one of our memories…

[risukadarlin]

[yuugen romantica] mantenkou vol. 3: merry - track six

6; once again

listen along・masterpost

                                                                      ✿

This is someone's house?

It looks like they live alone.

I came here unconsciously.

Why did I have a key?

This should be my first time coming here but I feel weird.

Something… isn’t right.

Ah. That’s unusual nowadays.

They live alone but they have a landline.

They have saved voicemails.

Voicemails?

Why does that make me uneasy…?

I’m sorry.

I’m going to listen to them.

I was so happy we have a phone at home I couldn’t stop myself from calling it.

That makes me the first one to use it.

Hahaha.

I’m sorry, where are you right now?!

I lost you in the crowd!

Wait? Is this the home phone?

I’m sorry!

I called the wrong phone!

I finished my errands so I’m on my way home now.

You can use the bath first.

Make sure to get straight into bed afterwards so you don’t get a chill.

Erm.

I wanted to tell you something.

It’s a bit embarrassing so I’m leaving it as a voicemail here.

I’m happy I met you.

Thank you.

Why am I…?

When?

Who am I calling?

I don’t have anyone I can call and yet…

I can’t remember.

My chest hurts.

Who are you?

Who was here with me?

That number…

Hello.

It’s me, Merry.

I can’t remember you.

But I feel like I’ll break down if I don’t call you now.

I feel like I’m missing something important…

Can I go to you right now?

Okay.

I’m coming.

For some reason, I feel like I’ve done this before.

But I can’t remember.

I was carefree, scaring random humans.

I existed as an urban legend.

That’s all I have.

That’s all I should have…

I feel like I lost something.

I feel like something special has disappeared.

I realised something.

There was someone by my side.

They would laugh and hold me close.

And yet, I can’t remember them.

Their face.

Their voice.

The way they laugh.

But when I thought about them, I saw your face.

I wanted to meet you so much I could burst.

I want to hear your voice.

I want to apologise for making you cry.

I don’t know the real meaning of these feelings.

The ringing in my ears won’t stop.

If I forget everything and stop caring, I’ll be at peace.

But…

I can’t forget you.

Pushing you aside like that was inexcusable.

If I wrap my arms around you, you won’t run away, right?

I understand.

I’m sorry, my hands are shaking.

I was so scared to hold you probably.

It’s strange.

I’m worried but I feel calm.

It feels like this is where I’m supposed to be.

Ah, those words…

Can I say them back to you?

I’m home.

Ah, welcome home!

Haha.

Being able to hear you say “I’m home” and saying “welcome home” back always makes me happy.

That’s right.

Why did I forget?

Those are the words that make me feel closest to you.

I’m home.

This light?

Is the spell broken?

Ah, you…

Yes.

I remember our school days.

I remember when we lived together.

I remember everything!

I remember.

I’m sorry for coming home late.

I’m sorry.

I made you cry.

You were always looking for me.

You’re cold.

I thought my memories were gone forever.

But it looks like they didn’t.

No matter who tries, no matter what people believe, it seems like my love for you can’t be erased.

I heard it again!

That bell.

But I won’t forget anymore.

This large swelling of emotion.

It’s just the same as me.

If that’s the case…

I don’t know if my voice will reach you.

But please listen!

Humans and ghosts living together is indeed strange!

Most people probably agree with that.

Whether our love is right or wrong…

I don’t know myself.

This world is full of things I don’t know yet.

So please, at least give us time.

Even just 100 years.

Please let me be by this person's side as their lover until the very end.

Then you can judge.

Then you can judge if the love between a ghost and a human is wrong or not.

The ringing of the bell went away.

It’s gone.

Maybe it’ll give us time.

Either way, I’m fine now.

You don’t need to worry now.

No matter how many times I forget --

No matter how many times my memories are erased --

I’ll always fall in love with you.

5; the shadows smile unsettlingly

listen along・masterpost

                                                                       ✿

Hello.

It’s me, Merry.

I’m right behind you.

Human screams are so nice to listen to.

But it’s not enough.

No matter how many people I scare, I’m still not satisfied.

I feel empty inside.

I feel like I should be doing something more fun than this.

Huh?

A new contact?

Haha, I don’t know who they are.

But they seem like they’ll entertain me well.

Hello.

It’s me, Merry.

Oh?

You’re not afraid?

You really are special.

How interesting.

I’ll come to you now.

What a lovely young lady you are.

That was such a cute scream.

My heart might burst just from listening to it.

But you can’t turn around.

If you look at me, you won’t be able to escape.

You’re not scared even though I’m threatening you.

And even if you ask me where I was…

I was always in this town.

Scaring humans every night.

I decided to come and play with you tonight.

I’m glad I made the right choice.

Now…

This is our first time meeting.

But for some reason my heart is racing.

Imagining your cute face twisting in fear is so much fun.

I don’t usually possess people but you’re special.

Let’s have a lot of fun.

You’re finally panicking.

But you can’t touch a ghost that’s possessing you.

You can’t resist, no matter what I do to you.

What should I do to you first?

Hm?

What are you telling me to remember?

What have I forgotten?

I don’t know what you’re talking about but that doesn’t matter.

You’ve gone pale with fear. It’s wonderful.

Your cheeks are cold.

Even colder than my hands.

You shouldn’t be out alone late at night.

I have to punish bad girls.

First, your arm.

It’s only a light electric current so it doesn’t hurt, right?

But it should be numb now.

Next, your legs.

Ah, now you can’t stand.

Now you can’t move, can you?

Should I make you my doll?

How does not being able to run away feel?

Please relax.

You might have gone numb but you should be able to feel things.

Here.

I’ll run my hand along your fingertips, right up your shoulder.

What a cute reaction.

You really are different from other humans.

I feel whole again.

Show me how scared you are.

Ah, I can’t help it. This is too fun!

I don’t think I’ll be able to let you go.

I want to drag you to the depths of hell.

Shall I just possess you like this forever?

No matter where you run...

No matter who you beg for help...

You’ll never be able to leave my side.

I’ll be with you when you sleep and when you wake up.

I’ll even follow you to the bottom of the netherworld.

Huh?

I’m saying I won’t let you run away.

I won’t let you go.

I’ll be on every street corner at the dead of night.

Why?

Aren’t you supposed to protest?

People usually cry and run away!

You’re pale with fright and yet you’re still accepting me? Why?

If you don’t understand, I’ll show you.

I’m Merry!

I’m a monster that scares people.

What do you mean I’m wrong?

Why?

Let go of me!

Why?

Everyone else runs away frightened.

Hugging me is just creepy, isn’t it?

Please, let go of me.

Ah…

Why are you crying?

No, I didn’t want to see you cry.

My chest… it hurts…

I thought I’d never felt like this before.

But I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere…

No…

I don’t understand.

I can’t remember.

4; but i couldn’t stop forgetting

listen along・masterpost

                                                                        ✿

Again?

What was that…?

Ah, I’m sorry.

I’ve been feeling rather ill recently…

Ah, no.

Ghosts can’t catch colds so please don’t worry.

Yes, here your coffee.

No, no, this is the least I could do.

Oh? What are you reading?

Ah, Hanawo gave that to you when you graduated.

He called it the “Nanagiri Academy Scroll of Monsters” or something, right?

Hanawo’s amazing at making books himself.

Everything about me from the moment I entered the Academy is recorded in detail.

It’s like a novel.

He must have made it instead of a yearbook.

Ah, I’m getting all nostalgic.

He even wrote about the time I met you…

Huh?

What’s that?

Here, this headline.

“Investigation of the Nanagasumi Museum Dolls.”

What is this?

Huh?

This happened?

I’m sorry.

I have no clue.

If you remember it, it must have happened, but…

I wonder why I can’t remember.

It’s not an event I could forget easily.

Could it be…?

Ah, again… That noise…

Did you hear that? The bell.

No one but me can hear it.

I thought I was just imagining it.

I think my memories are being erased.

Everytime the bell rings, some of my memories vanish.

Now I think about it, I only started feeling ill after I heard that sound for the first time.

Someone could just be messing with me.

It’s easy for ghosts from other towns to come to this place, after all.

Maybe…

Yes, we have to make whoever’s doing this stop, if there is someone.

At this rate, I’ll keep forgetting things, which would be troublesome.

If we go to Nanagiri Academy we can ask the others.

They’ll definitely help us.

I’ll call them and ask if we can meet in person.

Yes, please wait a second.

Erm…

Eh?

Excuse me. What did I call you again?

I’m sorry.

I can’t remember your name.

Or what I called you.

Everything is slowly fading.

I know you’re special to me…

At this rate, I’ll...

                                                                         ✿

This tea is delicious.

I think I’ve calmed down a bit.

I didn’t think I'd be visiting our old school for a reason like this.

I have to thank Hanawo later.

I called him on such short notice but he came to greet us and even made tea. He even went to call Hifumi and the others.

Eh?

Of course I remember.

I remember Hanawo and the others.

I’m sorry.

You’re the only person I keep forgetting.

I wonder why you’re the only one slipping from my memory.

It’s like sand.

I want to hold on tight but it keeps falling through the gaps in my fingers.

If I drop it, I can’t get it back.

It’s okay!

The people here are amazing.

They’ll definitely find the cause.

Not that I needed to tell you that.

I’m sorry.

I know it’s a bit late to say this but is it okay for you to be walking around at this time of night?

Won’t the people you live with me worried?

Ah, I see. You live alone.

Is that not lonely?

Eh?!

I’m sorry.

Did I say something bad?

You look like you’re about to cry.

It’s my fault, isn’t it?

Are you sure?

If you’re fine, that’s good, but…

Eh? I’m sorry.

I dropped it, even though it was a gift.

Yes, I brought it with us.

The “Scroll of Monsters”.

We were rushing when we left.

I don’t really remember but…

This last page is glowing in the dark.

Can you see?

I wonder why.

They’re letters.

Huh?

This is…

“Love between a ghost and a human--

To love like this is to stray from the path.

Those who make this mistake will be erased.

The world will come and wipe them away.”

Why is this message written here?

Does wipe them away mean…?

Is this why my memories are disappearing?

I see.

That’s why only memories of you are fading.

It wasn’t the doing of a ghost.

Most people wouldn’t even be able to imagine a ghost and a human falling in love and living happily together.

They probably think it’s impossible.

Those passing thoughts accumulate into a much more powerful one.

Just like we’re born from human thoughts and feelings…

Born from things humans deem to be obvious…

Those feelings are trying to drive us apart.

That’s why it’s a bell.

Most people in Japan associate that sound with an exorcism.

A terrifying urban legend has fallen in love with a human and is living happily.

Such a thing is unimaginable.

That’s why you’re fading from my memories.

Memories of you that shouldn’t exist.

To most humans, I’m nothing but a monster.

The bell rang again!

No! It won’t stop ringing.

Please.

Listen carefully.

I was born as an urban legend.

As an apparition with no real sense of self.

That didn’t change until the entrance ceremony.

When I saw you, it was like seeing colour for the first time.

I could feel new emotions blossoming inside me.

Your existence changed me.

But if I forget that…

I’ll go back to who I was in the past.

To the me who could only scare humans.

Please run away.

Before I become warped.

That’s right…

It’s faint but I still remember.

You wouldn’t abandon me.

That’s the sort of person you are.

But you have to leave me.

Listen to me.

Even if I call you, don’t pick up.

It’s a promise.

You know about my powers, don’t you?

You know that I can call people I don’t know.

You know that I can teleport to where they are.

I’m sorry.

                                                                         ✿

Ah, that person ran away.

Of course they did.

They answered a call from an unknown number and a ghost appeared.

I didn’t mean to scare them.

I’m sorry.

But if I didn’t move, that person would have been in danger.

Who was that person?

I can’t remember the voice that was calling to me.

Everything is slowly fading.

The you inside of me is fading.

Your smile.

Your angry face.

How you act when you’re embarrassed...

One by one.

This is all I have left.

If I forget this feeling, you’ll disappear completely.

If it was destined to end like this from the moment we met, then we live in a very cruel world.

But even so, I’m glad I met you.

I loved you.

                                                                         ✿

Ah, this cable was in the wrong place.

If I put it in the other way round…

Here you go, the internet should work again.

Ah, no. You don’t need to thank me.

I’ll be going now!

I’m sorry for making you wait.

Shall we go?

I didn’t think I’d end up rewiring the LAN cable in the seminar room.

Yes, I’m fine.

I managed to do what I was asked.

But I’m still not used to being in front of all those people.

I didn’t speak to the human students much during high school.

It will take a while for me to be able to attend university with you.

But I’ll get used to it, bit by bit!

It’s fun looking after the house too but I want to be together as much as possible.

Huh? This voice…

It’s the students from earlier!

They’re looking for me.

I can’t deal with anything else today!

I’m sorry but please hide me.

No one’s looking, right?

If I’m this small I can hide anywhere.

It’ll be tight but come this way.

Ah, I can relax a little here.

Lockers are the best place to hide.

Hanawo taught me this before.

If you’re going to hide with someone, the best place is in the locker.

I heard that being hidden in a locker with someone was a romantic situation, but…

You seem relaxed.

I know I feel good to hug but at times like this the man is supposed to hug first!

All that matters is that you’re having fun.

But this isn’t a romantic situation at all!

I’m fine as long as we can hide, but…

But if we’re hiding, then this way is better.

If I possess you, I don’t take up any space.

I should have done this from the start.

Hm?

Could it be…?

Did your heart finally start racing?

The fact you’re panicking means I’m right.

I see.

I’m honoured that your heart is fluttering because of me.

I read it on the internet.

Girls love it when things like this happen to them.

It’s the best way to succeed as a lover.

I always wanted to try it.

To be alone in a cramped and dark space.

I understand exactly why your heart is racing.

I could pull you into the bottom of a well.

A space for just the two of us.

How romantic!

Huh?

I thought it would be exactly the same.

But please relax.

I already researched what to do at times like this.

Right, I think it said…

If you don’t want us to be found, be a good girl.

Ah!

I can do it without getting embarrassed when you can’t see me.

Your voice is very cute but right now, you have to be quiet.

Please hold back, no matter what I do to you.

Ah, excellent.

You managed to hold back.

Your cheeks have gone red.

I’m glad if it made you happy.

Next…

According to my research, I have to unbutton your clothes and say teasing things to your ear, but...

That’s too much for me.

Unless you want me to, then I’ll try my best!

I can do anything then.

Ah, don’t go outside!

The people from before found us.

I’m sorry, I overdid it.

Erm, now people think you’re a strange person that hides in lockers.

Let’s laugh it off and run away.

Huh?

They’re being quite friendly.

Ah!

They’re hitting on you!

Please run away!

Ah, let go of her hand!

Please stop!

Where are you taking her?!

How awful.

Even though you clearly said no.

I can’t believe he’d force you.

I’ll curse anyone who does bad things to her.

People who do bad things need to be punished.

Think about what you’ve done.

These notifications won’t stop for a while, no matter how hard they try.

Let’s go now!

                                                                         ✿

I’m sorry!

Getting angry like that was unlike me.

I shouldn’t use my powers at school, should I?

You’re sure?

I really managed to help you?

I’m glad.

I can relax.

I’m glad I was helpful to you.

But even I was surprised.

This feeling, where my chest starts to burn…

I didn’t know about this feeling before.

Being in love is amazing.

I keep learning new things all the time.

It makes my world more and more colourful.

It might not always be good things.

But I had nothing in the past, so I’m happy.

Erm, thank you.

My life is only like this thanks to you.

Ah?

Eh?

Ah, no, I think I was just imagining it.

Let’s hurry and go home.
