Event Quest:I'm Not Afraid of Halloween!:VN:3-1
[Translation by Kukuru]
Location: Daikanyama Academy
[Night 3: A Puppy Dances a Rondo]
Sounds of happiness echoes from somewhere. That is, the voices of people enjoying themselves and getting excited.
Summer festivals may be different from Christmas, but it has a joyful and calming atmosphere.
One lone dog beastman is walking happily in the town.
The sweet smell of pumpkin candy tickles my nose. |
Everyone's having so much fun, ehehehe~! |
Before I came to Tokyo, I was looking forward to seeing the kids, |
That was on a mere whim. Like going for a little stroll.
Because his Senpai is too busy with his research, this boy decided to read a magazine to kill the time.
In the middle of reading, a special feature article suddenly caught his attention. It was a Halloween event that is being held in a few days in Daikanyama Academy.
Happy Halloweeeeeen~! Hiya, Big Brother! |
Awoooooooo! I am a Wolf-man! |
Trick-Or-Treat! |
Since pranks are very scary, I'll give you candy. |
Thank you, Big Brother~! |
Gee, thanks! You all look awfully cute in those costumes too! |
Get out there and get a ton of candy! |
Got it! Thanks again! See you later, Big Doggy Brother! |
Wolf! I'm supposed to be a wolf, for pete's sake! |
Receiving and handing out candy......
Cusith having finished what he was doing, He finds and sits down in a comfortable spot with some juice in one hand.
Cusith sips on some special orange juice to match the Halloween feeling.
Cusith is happily looking at the children all dressed up in costumes while swinging both his legs.
I'm really happy about giving a tooon of candy to the kids. |
I also got a bunch of candy too! |
That said, he takes another sip of his orange juice.
The children passing by waved their hands at Cusith, prompting Cusith to happily wave back.
It's not a bad thing to do something different than usual. |
Although... I wonder why the costume Leib-senpai picked out is a wolf? |
I wonder if a dog is supposed to be a wolf in disguise? |
Still... I wish Senpai and the others were here with me. |
Garmr-kun is the watchdog of the day for the guild; |
Nothin' I can do about it when everyone's busy with what they're doing, but... |
Feeling a little miserable, a mere faint shadow casts inside Cusith's heart.
Cusith made lots of friends after he was summoned to Tokyo. Every day was full of excitement for him.
And yet... yet...
N-No, I can't be sad like this! |
I can't let myself cry even if I'm bummed out! |
Alright! There's still lots of kids I haven't met yet! |
Cusith got down from his seat and fixed up his looks. Then, when he threw away the paper cup he finished drinking from...
Note: The Female Clerk is a Light Mage mob
Female Clerk:( face) |
H-Happy Halloween! |
Female Clerk:( face) |
Yay, I'm sooo happy! |
Did you need something from me, Ma'am? |
Female Clerk:( face) |
Uuuuuum, no not really. Thanks for your concern though! |
Female Clerk:( face) |
It was a big, big pumpkin pie. It's fairly heavy,
and it still feels like it's fresh from the oven.
An indistinct sweet smell tickles Cusith's nose, completely stimulating his appetite and making his mouth water.
Female Clerk:( face) |
Wooow~, thank you so much! I was getting awfully hungry. |
Then, I'm gonna eat this right away! Thank you for the food!
|
Wow, it's nice and crunchy on the outside! |
Female Clerk:( face) |
Yeah! I feel so much better now! |
So… good! *Crunch crunch*. Mmm... Ah, this is great! |
His hunger gets satisfied with every bite he takes. However, his body gradually got warmer.
H-Huh... I wonder why... My head's... dizzy... |
???:( face) |
Trick…… Candy…… ? |
I'm sure that was a whisper just now. |
Trick…… or…… |
Trick-or-Trick!! |
[Transitioning...]
……? |
What's wrong, Alice-chan? |
No, I'm sorry. |
A howl, you say? |
Now... Shall I go over what's been happening around here? |
Pretty Girl Alice who was walking and standing in front of the crowd turns over in your direction.
She's behaving like a teacher who waves her finger and teaches difficult formulas to students.
We are currently pursuing the mysterious pumpkins, |
They attach themselves to people and become Jack-O-Lanterns. |
-T-The new species of pumpkins I grew... are the cause of this... Why? |
Oh my, you shouldn't jump to conclusions like that. I'm only reviewing what's happened. Don't put yourself down over that right now. |

That was very nice of you. | Alice is so smart. | You're no ordinary kid. |
I see... My "behavior" seems that way to your point of view. |
You're free to think however you like... |
The "me" you're seeing today is the "me" only for today, |
Tomorrow morning, I will wake up, |
The "me" is not "me." There are infinte me's, as I will wake up every day. |
I got the slightest idea on what Alice-chan is talkin' about. |
Everything differs in shape and color, |
After all, our bodies are metabolized by cells, |
"Life"... We make a fresh start every day, continuously shining anew. |
You... You are surprisingly a poet. |
Hahaha! Whether I'm a poet or not, |

Volos sure knows a lot of stuff I'm telling you! | You can't pay attention to things around you, but that's just a fly in the ointment. | |||||||
|
|
Note: "Fly in the ointment" means "A flaw or imperfection that detracts from something positive."
I'm absolutely crazy about them. Plants... they're always intriguing to me. |
Days, weeks, months, heck I'll never get bored of them all year round! |

I see. I now understand the nature of your character. |
You're the exact opposite of a bear in a white coat who is somewhat hard to please. |
Nevertheless... It's not like someone who abuses research for the purpose of mischief. |

What's the culprit's objective? | A great detective's reasoning never fails. |
Don’t get ahead of yourself. |
...... Don't look at me like that. |
Rushed conclusions is a work of a moronic police detective. |
Pardon, [Player]. I'm sorry, but go and buy any kind of drink for me please. |
My throat feels dry while I was explaining my hypotheses. |
You have been chatting for a while now. |
I'm sure there should be a vending machine in the nearest building. |
Hmph... Do not treat like a child. Go quickly. |
By the way, Alice-chan, you are somehow a pleasant little girl. |
I feel it's somewhat strange, but innocent. |
Of course, you too, [Player]. |

Is that right? | You think so? |
... I’m surprised. Aren't you self-aware? |
No, that's actually a good thing. |
Cherish that feeling with great care. |

[Transitioning...]
At the place where the shrieks came from, something was waiting for you before you arrived...
Ah, ah, awooo, awoooooooo~! |
Bark bark, hold your muzzle high in the sky~! |
What you see is Jack-o-Lanterns perfectly lined up together, shoulder to shoulder, dancing.
Oooo~ Oooo~ It's a fun festival today~! |
Everyone is still together as a pack~ |
E-Everyone's dancing this time...? |
... Oi, [Player]! |
Looking ahead where Volos is pointing at...
Inside the row of Jack-o-Lanterns is a dog beastman donning a green scarf.
Whoa, you guy heard the voice too and came too! |
You said... you're Cusith-kun right? |
What's this...? Just from looking at you, |
Pumpkin? What's that supposed to be? |
Sing? Dance? Are those things you do during Halloween? |
You bet! I'm planning to have fun dancing and playing together with the children for a long time! |
Sorry, I know you're having fun, but... |
Could you stop dancing for a minute and cooperate with us? |
Uncle bear... You came by to stop us from dancing? |
U-Uncle...!? Do I really look like one...? H-Hey, wait just a minute!! |
Awaawoooooooooo~! Now, everybody! Are you ready? |
Let's howl more and more, everybody! |
Yeah, of course, Mr. Boss~! |
All the children all let out a wolf's howl at the same time of Cusith's lead.
You rang? Come on, this way~! |
Everyone howl! We're all the same! |
Yup! Don't be afraid to howl together with everyone! |
We will populate the world with ourselves! |
W-What's this voice I'm listening to...? |
T-These are my pumpkins...? |
That voice is full of a strong, strange power,
as if a soul is being stirred up by it.
A seductive voice resembling enticement, greatly attracts the mind and soul.
Oh... Maaasteeeer~! |
A-At any rate, you need to stop that dog right now! |

Quit it! | Settle down and listen to me! |
What? Why? I'm feeling great, just so you know! |
You should come to my pack too! |
Or... are you two "grave-robbers"? |
Cusith's eyes flickers with a suspicious glow.
Also, the shape of his mouth distorts slightly...
If that's the case, then you leave me no choice! |
Okay~! Come on, everybody! Let's go! |
Following Cusith's command, the Pumpkins all started marching over to you.
As they danced, as they sang... The Pumpkins moves closer together, hand to hand.
Awawawa! W-What should we do!? |

Drive out the pumpkins! | Cusith's waiting for us to make a move! |
Okay! I'll give this my best shot...! |
