Event Quest:Alp and the Shinjuku Academy Halloween Festival

[Translation by Kyru]

At Kamiyado Academy's Halloween Festival with Alp

---

He was always able to peep into someone's dream. He was always able to change myself in someone's dream.

A creature whose boundary between dreams and reality are extremely vague. That is what an incubus is.

However... one day he had a dream.

It's not certain he will be popular with everyone, but in your own dreams.

Alp, a Transient that is an incubus. He won't become popular if he becomes a panda in Ueno.

If someone behaves the way they have dreamed, their popularity with the people around them will skyrocket.

In reality however, the dream of someone and "someone else" may clash at the boundary.

There are a lot of things to expect to become everyone's favorite.

During such times, there are nights where he worries about what to do.

This year's Halloween was welcomed in such a situation. A day where the boundary between dreams and reality becomes blurred.

There were plenty of surprises that it is hard to tell if it is a dream or reality.

However, that is why he felt like he understood his own dream a little.

It seems to be the opposite because of Alp, where tbe boundary between dreams and reality is the most vague.

He felt he could see the form of his own dream because thw world "became the same as him."

Alp takes your arm and tries to run straight away, but is stopped by a nearby visitor.

Grass_Mage: Excuse me, you're Alp aren't you? I always see you on the SNS!

Grass_Mage: Um, I would like to take a picture with you. Please!

Alp:(halloween_surprised face) M-Me? I'd love to, but I'm with a friend right now, so...

Red_Jack:(smile face) Ohhh it's Alp the Influencer! I wanna take a pic with you too!!

The people around you noticed Alp and gathered one after another to take photos with him.

Alp looks a little happy over the fact they're fawning over him, but immediately pretends to ask you for help.

Alp:(halloween_cheerful face) F-For reals?? Thanks, [Player]!

Alp:(halloween_serious face) Alright, I'll start with her since she called out to me first. Everyone else in a line, and no pushing! Check this out!

Alp takes pictures with the guests as he gets used to it.

3 options
Alp sure is popular.	With the Fluffy Franken's charm on top of that...	Sure, why not. I'll get one too.
Alp carefully handles the people who have lined up, one by one. Alp:(halloween_sad face) Awwww... I'm so sorry for making you wait, [Player]... Alp:(halloween_blush face) Just a few left...

Want me to send the pic to you later?

Alp:(halloween_blush face) Ehehe~... Lots of people wanting to take pics with me, and hanging with [Player] later... it makes me so happy...

Alp:(halloween_cheerful face) I'm glad I did my best to prepare for Halloween! Popular people have to do it within a day.

You head towards the school building with Alp, who is in a good mood, skipping right next to you.

2 options (Same Response)

Alp:(halloween_cheerful face) I've checked out a lot on this special day, but I wanna check out this theatre. Very Halloween-centric!

Alp:(halloween_neutral face) Since it's the last day of Halloween, I gotta savor the Halloween spirit YO!

[Transitioning...]

Alp brought you along to a Haunted House beside the stage with an entrance leading into the backstage.

3 options
Sure does feel Halloween-like.	It looks like fun, but why-	I'm not exactly fond of these.
Alp:(halloween_cheerful face) Come on, [Player]! Let's gooooo!!		Alp:(halloween_serious face) I'm sure it'll be juuust fine if the both of us went together! If you're so scared, you wanna hold onto me? Alp:(halloween_blush face) So you want to? This is a good chance as any! 3 options (Same Response) If you insist... Guess I have no choice... I'll just close my eyes a little! Alp:(halloween_cheerful face) YESSS!! Hehehe, let's goooo~!!

Other_Guests:( face) Huh...? Alp's here right now? He's been trending on the SNS these days!

Other_Guests:( face) No kidding? THAT Alp?? WHERE, WHERE, WHERE??!

Alp:(halloween_panic face) Y-Yikes...! Let's go somewhere where they can't see my face, QUICK! H-HURRY UP, [PLAYER]!!

Alp:(halloween_surprised face) Geh... Should be okay to go inside, but they shouldn't be able to notice me... God, my heart is racing right now...

You and Alp nervously entered the Haunted House.

Jack-O-Lantern_Girl:( face) Trick or Treat!!** Give me candy~!

Alp:(halloween_panic face) OMIGOSH!! I'm scared, [Player]...! Lemme hold your hand, please!!

3 options (Same Response)

Trickster:( face) Trick or Treat!!** I'll pull a prank on you if you don't hand over the sweets!!

Alp:(halloween_cheerful face) Oohhh I'm so scared~! I'm holding onto [Player] cause I'm scared!

Every time a surprise comes out, Alp holds onto you while making exaggerated reactions.

As he does that sort of thing, you reach the exit of the Haunted House in a blink of an eye.

3 options (Same Response)
I knew you were being unnatural!	You just wanted to get this close to me huh?	You wanted to be alone with me? Is that it?

Alp:(halloween_panic face) Waaah, how did you figure it out!? Are you possibly an Esper, [Player]!!?

Other_Guests:( face) Oh, that voice just now, it was Alp's wasn't it? He seems to have shown up in a Frankenstein costume!

Other_Guests:( face) I saw the photo posted on the SNS with the kid who took a picture with him!

Other_Guests:( face) Ohhh I wanna see, I wanna see! So uhh, where's the Frankenstein costume?

Other_Guests:( face) I met Alp once! He's pretty awesome, right?

Other_Guests:( face) Uh no, you mean cute right? Where did you even meet him? I don't believe you.

Other_Guests:( face) That's messed up! I did actually meet him. Trust me.

Alp:(halloween_surprised face) W-W-Whaaa?? It's already spreading...? At this rate, I'm gonna need to put on a new look! YAAH!

Alp holds up his badge and quickly changes into his Halloween Police get-up.

Alp:(halloween_b_4star face) Tadaaa~! The Halloween Police has reappeared!

Alp:(halloween_b2_4star face) Here's the plan, [Player]! It's unfortunate, but I will have to take you away for stealing my heart.

3 options (Same Response)
Yes, take me away!/i>	Let's go then, Alp.	We can just run away together, right?

Alp:(halloween_b_4star face) Y-Yeah...! Got it!

Alp:(halloween_b_neutral face) ...... H-Hey, [Player]?

3 options (Same Response)
You were quite popular./i>	Seems like you have to run from everyone.	I'm happy that we're together. Thanks.

Alp:(halloween_b_sad face) ... O-Oh, [Player]...!

Alp hugs you tightly.

Alp:(halloween_b_sad face) Being popular is harder than I expected. Everyone has different dreams for me, so...

Lots of words started pouring out of Alp's mouth. Then...

Alp:(halloween_b_neutral face) Today... Today, I wanted to spend time with you alone, [Player].

Alp:(halloween_b_blush face) So that's why you should stop resisting and obediently stick to the policeman's rope. Don't try to escape from me, okay?

3 options (Same Response)
Yessir!/i>	Yes, I understand.	(Be silent and smile innocently)

Alp:(halloween_b_cheerful face) Heheh... Eheheh~! It's why I'm doing more today than usual.

Alp:(halloween_b_serious face) So whatchu think about this hairstyle, [Player]? Think it's cute?

3 options (Same Response)
The costume is real nice though./i>	You fit in as a Halloween Police!	You're always cute, Alp.

Alp:(halloween_b_blush face) Serious? The Halloween Police outfit and the Fluffy Franken costume is really growing on me.

Alp:(halloween_b_neutral face) ... Oh yeah, Leib-senpai taught me something. Frankstein seems to be hungry for love.

2 options (Same Response)
That thing Dr. Frankenstein made--	It was a human ideal, right?

Alp:(halloween_b_surprised face) O-Oh yeah, you're right [Player]! I'm pretty sure that's the story behind it.

Alp:(halloween_b_sad face) Made to be in the form of the doctor's dream. But in the end, they couldn't be like a dream.

Alp:(halloween_b_neutral face) So Frankenstein wanted to be loved by someone, so he begged the doctor to make his ideal partner.

Alp:(halloween_b_sad face) When I heard that story, I felt real bad... So... I thought I couldn't think of anyone else.

Alp can be in the form of someone's dream. But what would happen if he became "everyone's dream"?

Acceping all the dreams of each and every person... Can he still be himself?

He may be the monster of everyone's collective thoughts. He remembers being scared and crying.

As if to shake off the gloomy mood for a little while, Alp continues on with a cheerier voice than usual.

Alp:(halloween_b_serious face) BUT! Haven't I been able to think about that a little differently lately?

Alp:(halloween_b_neutral face) Even if I do that... If there is someone who can dream about me unchanged...

If anyone who knows who you truly are, and if that person is...

Alp:(halloween_b_blush face) No matter what happens, I'm sure I can change back... That's how I feel, eheh~

Alp smiles a little and anxiously peers into your eyes.

Alp:(halloween_b_sad face) Hey [Player]... You won't hate me forever, right...?

3 options (Same Response)
I can't hate you!/i>	You're you, Alp.	Can I tell you how much I like you?

Alp:(halloween_b_blush face) Heheheh... Thanks, [Player].

Alp, who thanked you in a slightly muffled voice, turns his back and hides his eyes in sunglasses.

Alp:(halloween_c_neutral face) Oh yeah! I was planning to enter the costume contest on the main stage!

Alp:(halloween_c_neutral face) Come and watch me shine on stage, [Player]!

2 options
For starters, you need to stop crying.	I'm rooting for you!
Alp:(halloween_c_neutral face) Yeah... I don't want to swell up, so I'll grab ice from the infirmary. Alp:(halloween_c_cheerful face) Catch you later! You better show up! I'll definitely keep an eye out for you!	Alp:(halloween_c_cheerful face) Thanks! Then I'll see you later! You better show up! I'll definitely keep an eye out for you!

You better show up! I'll definitely keep an eye out for you!

Saying his parting words, Alp runs over to the school's infirmary.

[Transitioning...]

Several arrangements are already underway on the main stage. It was truly exciting.

Heavy eating and quizzes, and the next event is a costume event where the most popular costumes are decided by the audience's votes.

2 options (Same Response)
Any time now...	Good luck, Alp!

The costume contest has begun, and each contestant are called in one after another with each one trying to make themselves look appealing.

Whilst some of the contestants you were familar with were visible, it was finally Alp's turn.

Dark_Mage: And now for our next contestant! Give it up for Fluffy Franken!!

Alp:(halloween_a_4star face) A patched up monster arriving on Halloween~ A superstar shining now~

Alp:(halloween_a_4star face) A how-to that drives you crazy~! I Love You~! A new fad has begun~!

The audience becomes even more excited as Alp shows off his breakdancing and enthusiastic rapping.

Alp's performance continues to heat up, supported by the cheers from the audience.

Alp, who performed till the end, was enveloped in loud cheering. He has finished his turn and tries to come off the stage.

Before doing that, Alp seems to notice you and turns to your direction, blowing a kiss for you.

The audience shrieked at the sudden fanservice, even though it was aimed for only one person.

3 options (Same Response)
That's so sly of him.../i>	(Move your mouth saying "I love you")	(Throw a kiss back)

Alp:(halloween_serious face) Hehehe~ You there! Definitely vote for me, Fluffy Franken!!

I've become a favorite. Your... favorite.

This dream... won't end if it remains a dream.

Alp:(halloween_neutral face) Whatchu think, [Player]? I shined on stage, right?

2 options (Same Response)
Everyone couldn't take their eyes off you.	Weren't you bound to win anyways?

Alp:(halloween_surprised face) No way! It's not like that, I just wanted to hear your impressions! I'm being serious!

Alp:(halloween_serious face) I'll work hard to be your ideal person, little by little!

3 options (Same Response)
You're already perfect!/i>	You were super cool!	That fanservice made me happy.

Alp makes a slightly embarrassed, wide smile when he heard those words.

Alp:(halloween_cheerful face) The festival is still far from over! I'll go where you want to go, [Player]!

Alp:(halloween_neutral face) So uh, anything you want to do? Sweets? Or attractions?

3 options
Come on!/i>	Let's hold hands on this date.	(Take him to someplace with less people)
Alp:(halloween_serious face) Don't freak if there isn't enough time! If you want to, we can meet up in a dream! Alp:(halloween_blush face) Date... A date with [Player]... that makes me happy, hehe~... Alp:(halloween_neutral face) That's if you're cool with it. I wonder if we can see each other in your dreams tonight. Alp:(halloween_blush face) The two of us alone... in a dream...	Alp:(halloween_blush face) Date... A date with [Player]... that makes me happy, hehe~... Alp:(halloween_neutral face) That's if you're cool with it. I wonder if we can see each other in your dreams tonight. Alp:(halloween_blush face) The two of us alone... in a dream...	Alp:(halloween_surprised face) Ehh? [Player], where are we running off too all the sudden! You arrive at a vending machine corner where there is no one around. Once again, you check your surroundings and sit down on a bench. With your hands on top of each other, you exchange glances and bring your faces closer. Just before coming in contact a little, Alp controlled you with his index finger. Alp:(halloween_serious face) Huhu... You've been a bad kid, so you're gonna have to wait! Alp:(halloween_blush face) Instead of this, how about you let me in your dreams tonight? Alp:(halloween_blush face) I want you to remember everything about me. I want you to dream about me for a long time...

Alp makes an enticing smile. No matter how cute he is, whether he is a panda or not, he is a "incubus."

It may not take long to turn a newly self-aware dream of oneself a reality.

This dreamlike moment will last a little more until tonight...
