[Translated by Kukuru]
Gandharva's CQ: [Wild Player]
Location: Tokyo Casino
The cube of wisdom. Their emotions will be washed away. There is a lot of "weight" in this grieving world.
However, that man,
he is like a mirage whose soul is not bound to the Earth's gravitational pull.
A depraved monk immersed in sake like a baby's first bath,
enjoying the inspection of the remaining noise.
When the moment of joy occurs, the soul trembles.
That is all there is to it.
Hence today, he is the bud of the near future,
frequenting and gambling away on the gaming block, drinking sake and playing instruments.
The name of that depraved monk is Gandharva.
He is who resides high in the heavens, residing on an empty seat.
After a series of attacks on the Tokyo Casino,
the casino lost its core management due to the disappearance of Hakumen.
Afterwards, the administrative rights goes to the leader who manages the other factions of the Roppongi Guidl,
and taking the role of Guild Master of the Ikebukuro Guild in their own hands.
With Roppongi and Ikebukuro taking measures together, the Tokyo Casino was making a fast recovery.
However, the underground gambling city of Little Wa No Kuni,
the public safety of the "city" worsened due to the absence of the general manager.
With ill-mannered gamblers acting conceited, troubles involving gambling are a natural occurance.
The mania died out and instead became a dangerous slum town.
On that day, [Player] visited that place again as a Claude's associate.
In essence, to navigate through the illegal areas, they needed to adopt the task of a bodyguard.
Their true motives are to intervene in the incidents that occured in the city as a result of the transformation.
To not resort to brute strength as a bodyguard,
they are being evaluated by their abilities.
They are unsure of what they can offer, so they are acting cautiously.
It's as if a nail was inserted by Shirou.
...... Well, I'll be fine here, my strongman, [Player]. |
Claude:(smile face) |
Claude stopped at the door and began talking to [Player].
3 options (Same Response) | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
What is up with this place? | Can't you get back by yourself......? | What are you trying to do? |
Hahaha. Don't jump to conclusions like that. |
Forgive me for my little joke. |
I will allow you to roam freely around the city for a while. |
I will accompany the young master for now. |
I assume [Player]-sama has noticed it by now; |
By no means, do not walk into an alleyway with very few people around. |
Snow:(worried face) |
2 options (Same Response) | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
You're gonna leave me alone in a dangerous place like this?! | That's pretty discouraging...... |
In case of a problem, |
Ah. I believe it is almost time. |
Ah, no problem. |
2 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Uh...... | Get back soon...... | |||||||
|
Claude and Snow disappeared after entering inside.
The sounds of coldheartedness echoes as the door closes.
Only [Player] was left behind, all alone in the middle of the desolate city.
Wahaaa...... We should have gone with those people! |
What do you think, master? |
Well, there's no other choice then. |
Looking at the map that Salomon-kun grabbed from somewhere,
[Player] takes a stroll around the gloomy underground city.
Old-fashioned wooden buildings stand side by side, with lanterns glowing in the frontage.
The streams quietly flow through the canals of the glowing city.
The scenery is exactly like the good old-fashioned Japanese scenery.
Looking past the stern faces of the passerbys, it is a charming city.
It's truly a marvelous city, master. |
The warm light from the lanterns, the scent of the incense in the air, |
Hmm? Sounds of instruments......? |
1 option | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
...... That's an interesting sound. |
Hey, master! |
I-It's a bad idea to go over there! |
Besides, don't forget what kind of trip this is......! |
[Player] walked towards the direction where the sound was coming from,
as if they are being lured in by it.
After passing through rows of tenement houses in the eerie alleyway,
they finally arrived in a spacious area with a water well.
There was an avian wrapped in gaudy garments,
sitting on the edge of the well, playing a stringed instrument.
I didn't expect someone to show up here. |
It turned out to be Gandharva, carrying a lovely sitar in his hands.
They did not imagine that a person with an unrefined body could play an instrument
and produce a gentle, soothing melody.
It seems this fellow is concerned about the tune. |
There's still some continuation in this melody. |
When Gandharva turned his attention to the instrument, he strum the strings once more.
His fingers danced on the 19 metal strings.
The rhythm of the melody was fierce, yet gentle.
Their ears were pulled in by the tune,
the sweet fragrance hanging around their noses respectively.
Falling into an illusion like one's mind becoming hazy,
the melody being played by the avian came to a close.
Becoming fatigued to an experienced musician, |
What would you like for me to play? |
Gandharva proceeded to play his next song without waiting for [Player]'s answer.
The sweet aroma increasingly clouds their mind;
a mysterious sensation envelops [Player].
[Player] then became completely captivated on the spot.
Thank you for listening. |
After saying that, Gandharva puts his sitar away.
It must be fate for us to meet again here. |
Ever since "Hakumen" disappeared, |
This town...... is a fun place to be. |
Hey now, there's no need to fear. |
2 options (Same Response) | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
...... Let's go. | My body is moving on its own...... |
Whaa...... Master! |
Aaah, my eyes are meeeelting!! |
I'm glad. Shall we go then? |
...... Welcome to the adult playground, my lord, [Player]-sama. |
Waaaah, my alarm-clock-slap-attack isn't working! |
Gandharva and [Player] entered a shop lit by a faint light.
After moving through the dark corridors and reaching the innermost room,
Gandharva urges [Player] to go inside.
Inside were a few wide tatami mats. The size was slightly proportional to the lighting.
In addition, there were savage men there.
The lineup were making generous compliments, along with an uneasy feeling in the air.
Say, how do you like the mood? Care to join us? |
Gandharva entered the circle with no hesitation.
[Player], holding a shoulder, was slowly drawn in by Gandharva.
Oni:
Hoh, this kid...... I never seen their face before. |
Oni:
I'm gonna do some inspecting. |
Oni:
Hold up, this kid's an amateur. |
Loose gambling shouldn't be sexual, don't you agree, my lord? |
Gandharva laughs suggestingly while looking at [Player]'s face.
Gandharva's bewitching expression was sucking them in,
along with a sweet smell tickling their noses.
1 option | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
...... Yeah. |
Oni:
Heh. Aren't you a special one. |
Oni:
This boy is- Ah right. |
With a vulgar joke from the bookmaker,
those who are in the room burst into laughter.
Hey now, there's no need to be afraid. |
Now, how about... we get crazy? |
Urged by Gandharva's ecstatic face for lust,
[Player] takes a seat in the gambling room.
There's all sorts of gambling. |
Do you know the rules of Tehonbiki? |
2 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
I'm aware. | I don't know them. | |||||||
|
|
The first hand, "Shona," comes to an end. The bets at last came.
Oni:
Alright then, let's begin. |
Just like that, the bookmaker reeled in small cards from behind his back.
The guy showing off his habits, hand movements, and gestures. |
Conjectures and anticipation, whatever he picks out in his nature...... |
Gandharva's voice whispered closely to [Player]'s ear.
Paying no attention to the voice that they heard,
[Player] concentrated on the man's movement in front of him.
Oni:
...... Now, the money's come in. |
Well, what would you wager? [Player]-sama. |
2 options (Same Response) | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Either "3" or "5" ...... No. | I'll go with the card "3." |
Heheh~...... I see. |
Oni:
Ohoh, a reckless conjecture right from the start. |
Oni: Well then, play your hand..... Game on! |
The bookmaker Oni rang the card "3." It matched the card that [Player] waged.
The room was in utter awe, as if striking home happened for the first time.
Oni:
I don't believe it......! A big win! |
Oni: Interesting...... Then here is a written challenge from me. |
Oni:
On the next turn, if you can hit the jackpot again, |
Oni:
But, if you lose, you'll be broke in an instant. |
Hoh, isn't that an interesting offer? |
How about it, [Player]-sama? |
1 option | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
I'll do it. |
Ninja:
Are they serious......? |
Kuruhoku:
Heh. They're just giving lip-service just 'cause they got lucky. |
Such backbone...... It's such a chilling feeling, isn't it, my lord? |
Soon after, many games occured. [Player] then achieved victory each time.
Once again, the voices of the avian entices [Player], putting them in a trance.
However, the people in the situation felt out of place due to the one who's been winning a lot.
Kuruhoku:
Hey, wait a minute! Doesn't it seem strange to you? |
Ninja:
Y-Yeah......! Something isn't right here!! |
Ninja: You... You must be doing some dirty trick here! |
1 option | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
There's no trick involved......! |
There is no doubt about it, my lord. There is indeed a trick involved. |
I witnessed it myself, they're going mad with jealousy...... because of you, kid. |
Ninja: Shut your mouth! How dare you play your dirty tricks here! |
Kuruhoku: I knew something was up! Guys, let's get 'em!! |
OOOOOOH!! Raising their voices, the children on the surrounding mats attacked all at once.
Uh oh, they're in a bad mood. |
How about we get out of the way, my lord? |
Despite saying that, Gandharva's expressions looks as if he anticipated all this.
3 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
You look awfully happy. | I shouldn't have come here. | My arms are trembling... | ||||||
|
|
|
Well, let's begin. Lead the way, small fry. |
Ninja: Talking shit again! I'll make sure to break that beak of yours! |
Ninja: Oraaa!! Prepare yourselves! |
[Battle]
Kuruhoku: Guaaaah!! How is that brat this strong?! |
Ninja: At any rate, we shouldn't be struggling with a kid and that bird guy! |
Ninja: That damned kid! Brushing us off like we're fools! |
...... Sheesh. Gangs nowadays are awfully persistent. |
2 options (Same Response) | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
An instrument? | What are you planning to do? |
Take a look. You should be able to remember this. |
Gandharva slid his fingers across the sitar strings.
As a result, the movement of the mobs came to a stop.
It was the same melody that [Player] heard a while ago.
A sweet aroma hangs in the air once more.
2 options (Same Response) | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
This feeling- | It's the same as before. |
They stopped breathing temporarily, my lord. |
[Player] stopped breathing as a result of the sitar's strong melody.
And just like that, the faces of the mobs have become senile.
The glares towards [Player] eventually faced off into the air.
As much as to say, "it's alright," [Player]'s back was struck from behind-
Gandharva laughed sneeringly.
Now - wanna get crazy? |
Ninja: ...... Hey, you. I remember from the other day. |
Ninja: Whaat......? You just happened to be playing something yesterday. |
Unanimously, someone from the gang made a fuss.
Ultimately, it caused someone to get punched.
Ninja: Ugh, asshole!! You're in for it now!! |
Kuruhoku: Bring it on!! I'll crush ya!! |
Picking up on the melody from the sitar, [Player] was under the influence as well.
They then took it out on the air by flailing around.
It is as if they are being deceived by a mirage, throwing fists towards the day after tomorrow,
occasionally hitting their friends.
As they kept going on and on, the mobs destroyed themselves one by one.
Oni:
Well well - they all got knocked out. |
In front of [Player]'s eyes, the mobs all collapsed.
Aah...... I see. I feel bad for destroying the place. |
Oni: You caused all of this, didn't ya? The gambling den got destroyed. |
I guess it's just a bad hobby of mine. |
Well then...... I'm completely exhausted. |
Gandharva then took [Player] out of the gambling room, leaving behind the heapes of corpses.
Hmm? Ah. That nature is "just like me." |
The fragrance that comes from my body, |
That's what aroused my former lord. I know I done a bad deed but- |
I'm blessed to see something so enthralling. |
Gandharva paused and took a look at [Player].
You are quite the match. I am fascinated to see something so beautiful involuntarily. |
As I expected...... No, there's a further possibility that you have a knack for professional gambling. |
3 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
I doubt it. | How can you tell? | Should I show you more? | ||||||
|
|
|
Now, here are your earnings. Take them. |
Gandharva presented [Player] a pouch packed with a lot of coins.
The large amount of money was fascinating.
When they take it home, Shirou will be delighted to hold his head in an accounting book.
However, as far as they could tell,
the sheer amount of money may be too much for a mere student.
2 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
I'm gonna give this back to those people. | You can have it, Gandharva. | |||||||
|
|
3 options (Same Response) | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
I don't deserve this money...... | The game was fun. | That's enough. |
...... Fufufu, wahahahah! |
A great chap like you isn't obsessed with money at all. Kukuku~. |
After laughing for some time, Gandharva looked straight at [Player] and spoke.
My lord. I believe "instinct" is the most truthful. |
That's right. If living things are not honest, |
However, people have reasons behind their instincts, |
From past experiences, "it won't turn out as well" ...... |
And so, relying on "instinct" will lead to your own demise- |
After the little speech, he reached his hand and lifted up [Player]'s chin with his finger.
But, you are the "past" and the "future." |
The "past" is not bound, and cannot be linked to the "future." |
The way you are, such as the situation of Tehonbiki, |
Gandharva's pupils became like the bird of prey, and fixed his gaze on [Player].
Yes, my lord of the "present" is not here. |
I found out at last. On that day, |
Affection was growing, lust was coming about......
An awfully ecstatic, optimistic gaze.
It's good, sir. It's been a long while since I been this aroused. |
I am proud to be a gambler. I don't intend on making you my lord. |
It seems that the big gamble has set my fate; |
Snow:( face) |
Ohoh, it seems they're calling out for you. |
3 options | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
I want to play with Gandharva bit more. | I don't plan on going back today. | I should go now. | ||||||
|
|
|
Don't fret. I'll take care of the money; I'll give it back to the bookmaker. |
Then, I'll be seeing you again, if fate calls for it. |
I will be delighted to take you to the gambling room again. |
Gandharva making his parting words,
he left while drinking from the sake bottle that was hanging from his waist.
The sweet aroma thinned out from the air;
the same aroma that drives you mad and go on a frenzy.
A memory of experiencing the excitement from that place,
a memory that they will not forget for a long time.
