I'm Not Afraid of Halloween! Translation

Part 1-1:

[Translation by Kukuru] Location: Daikanyama Academy One autumn day, blue skies as clear like it was shining. Sounds of fireworks shot up everywhere, signaling the start of the festivities this year. People regret that the summer season came to an end, and they are looking forward to the autumn season around the corner. Additionally, to greet the winter season that is finally arriving, an important event will be celebrated. The Halloween Event at Daikanyama Academy has become the scenic feature of Tokyo. A little girl is walking around openly in the gentle breeze, asking questions about everything. Behind her, is a figure of a bear in a white robe- Hey, Alice... Can I ask you something? Do tell, Jambavan. You don't like noisy events such as this... Didn't you tell me this before? Dear me... Did I really say something like that? Being with crowds of people, noisy environments, even the sounds of excitement and enthusiasm. You don't like these things. The other day I invited you to the big summer festival, but you outright declined. Ah, you're absolutely correct. I did say those things. I dream only of the present. Whatever strange event occurs, it will only be a simple dream. Therefore, the uproar in the world is nothing but a cheap play to me. However... The little girl’s elegance shows with a smile. Like the leaves of a tree fluttering in the autumn breeze. Today... Today is simply different from others. Special. Indeed, it is a very special day. Jambavan. Tell me, are you aware of what day it is today? A-Alice... You're acting strange today, y'know? It's scaring me. Anyways, you're talking about Halloween, right? It's when children put on costumes and go house to house trick or treating! Hehe~, that's correct. For most people, that's the extent of it. Huh, what do you mean by that? Alice...? The girl twirled and danced giddily, with a fun, carefree expression on her face. Today is the day that I can cross through the looking glass. Today is the day fantasy and reality walk hand-in-hand. I am one with the world. It's the day I can play and enjoy myself with not a care in the world. Is it not exciting? Everything you say just gets more and more bizarre. I don't understand you at all. I wish I had a personal Alice Translation Device. Anyways... What are today's orders, princess? The tone in the bear's question gives the impression that he's intimidated. It was a defensive instinct, because he is taken aback by the little girl's plans. However, the little girl's response was unexpected. You will not be doing anything. ... Huh? You do not have to do anything today. Instead, someone else will escort me to the festivities. Someone else?! Wait a second, you said- The accomplice noticed that the little girl is muttering improvised poems in the cold breeze. It is a beautiful day for a festival. A carefree bear taking a nap in its burrow. Run along now, little white rabbit, don't be late, hop-hop. Now, let the festivities begin! …… Now then, Jambavan. Be a good boy and return to your room. The figure of the joyful girl blended like fog into the crowd and vanished. Eventually... The bear in the white coat was left alone. .... Honestly, that's so like her. She just does whatever she wants. Well, I guess it's fine. As instructed, I'll go relax at home for today. ...Aaaah~, this will be my first vacation in a while. I think I'll curl up with a book. It's nice out today too. Oh, but I have research to do as well. Ah, that's right! Leib-senpai will be in the lab today. I should pick up something for him from the Panda Grill on the way. Also, Cusith-kun said he was going out. I hope he doesn't cry. If he does the venue will be destroyed... ...... At any rate. The young man looked up at the sky, sighing and murmuring to himself. Who in the world could be drawn to your selfishness? Aaaah... I feel bad for them. [1st Night: A Festival is Held] Woow~! It's terrifyingly active here, Master! Daikanyama Academy's Halloween party sure is popular around these parts~! Oh yeah! Hehehe~ On the topic of Halloween, lemme give you an example, Master~! Trick-or-Treeeeat!! Now you gotta give me candy or you’ll get tricked~! Huhuhu, that went perfectly! I sure did a fine job researching this! I'm talkin' the monsters of Halloween! Salomon-kun and the monsters! 2 options There's a lot going on today... Do you have a thing for sweets? That's because we're all excited! After all, it will be fun with just the two of us! Oh, I was just rehearsing stuff earlier. I’m looking forward to the candy! Eh, there's a lot of excitement going on? Well, that's obvious! After all, it will be fun with just the two of us! Don't if our usual group of three is good luck or bad luck, but we can't all come here with our own separate goals! Little ol' chubby-kun was crying badly... Just wanted to treat candy like souvenirs. Well, whatever! It's been an awfully long time since I last seen you, Master, so... This is an opportunity, so to speak. This is the perfect opportunity to step things up a notch, from a mere master-to-slave relationship! Come on, Master! Trick-or-Treating! Eating candy together... Aah, it would feel like it's melting your tongue! Such an exciting, tingly feeling in my heart! In the name of mischief, I demand pettings~. Do whatever you feel like doing to me, I'll give you a gift- A Dignified Voice:( face) Oh, if it isn’t [Player]! Gyaaah?! C-Could that voice be...! Did I arrive later than the agreed meeting time? I apologize for making you wait. 2 options (Same Response) Don’t worry about it too much. I like waiting for you, actually. I am relieved to hear that from you. By the way, I happened to be practicing something earlier. Following what Chernobog said, he is holding a ragged paper in hand, containing a script of a play. You're forgetting the jolly feelings of a festival! There's a reason why you came here today, Master...! Specifically, you're here to witness the big performance from that Demon King. I thought it was going to be just us two... ...(Sniffle sniffle), (Sniffle sniffle). ...... Hmph, there’s no way... Being a talented butler means being able to read the room! Salomon-kun who can't be seen at all will quietly disappear now. Master, I'll see you later~. It looked like you were talking to someone, was it all in my imagination...? Well, I'm sure it's nothing. Thank you for coming in the midst of this busy day. 2 options Did you memorize the words and phrases yet? Nervous about your first performance? Everyone repeatedly practiced to welcome this special day. It's to guarantee the performance's success! I am unsure if I can remember everything however. … Hmm. On my own, I certainly would feel that way. When I realized it, my arms and feet felt like they were lifeless. I even felt like I’ve become a Deer… Furthermore, for this performance, I am to open the curtains with my narration. [Player]. Is it safe for them to entrust an important task to me? 2 options (Same Response) Perform right here. Rehearse it one more time for me. ... Right here!? No, I can't fail because you asked. Alright... Here goes nothing. Softly clearing his throat and double-checking the script, Chernobog then quietly spoke. “An occasion not here, a place that does not exist now. This is far from a dream, rather a tale of that place.” “The peaceful country of Medana will soon be conquered by the King of Darkness, Tonas.” “Ah, the people cursed with absolute Japanese food culture begs for rescue!" “Thus, the sacred sword, the French Fryer was chosen. Jakarta, the hero that clears away evil, was the one chosen." Then, after this line, I will step out onto the stage. “It is I, the brave hero! Jakarta!” ...... What are your thoughts? Personally, I believe I did a fine job. Please, don't hold back. I am only asking for your confident opinion. 2 options You did a fine job. You were nervous, weren't you? I-Is that so…! [Player], when you say that, I feel a little more confident. Well... I was willing to accept harsh criticism. The performance won't disappoint you, [Player]! 1 option It's an interesting story anyways. Yes, I thought so too but, it is a creative drama this time. Please look forward to what we have in store for the play. Everything in this transient world is but a novel to me, however I feel it will be a valuable experience. Because I have decided to bear the role of a "hero"... More than anything else. This is the time where the autumn season intensifies, and the overall mood is great. An email was sent from Daikanyama Academy. A performance will be held at the Halloween party. Chernobog was asked to participate in it. And that role is- 2 options Hey, you mentioned your role was a "hero," right? You're a Demon King, aren't you? Yes, that was the plan. The director over there was terribly enthusiastic. That is true. The director over there was terribly enthusiastic. “A truly impressive detail will give life to a play!” Just like that, I was especially chosen for the role. I am curious about what you call plays of this world, I was willing to cooperate as the former Demon King, however... (Mysterious Beauty):( face) In the time of our first meeting, I said, "A cast like that is utter nonsense." Good afternoon. Welcome to Daikanyama Academy! 3 options Hello, Taromaiti. Didn't expect to see you so soon. Has it been that long since the Seaside School? I am glad to see you, [Player]. I hope you’ll have fun today. Those days were fun, [Player]. I would love to go out to sea again. Ah, Taromaiti-dono. Are you here to greet [Player] as well? That's correct, Chernobog. I wanted to see my friend's face again. I feel the same way. There must be a reason why you came here today. Perhaps you've come to see his first debut? If so, you’re more than welcome to. It’ll be reassuring if you're together. He should be able to perform with no trouble at all. Everyone has their first times after all. Chernobog will feel confident if the presence of his faithful companion is there. Hahaha... You saw through me, Taromaiti. You're right, I am very nervous about this. In that aspect, I won't be able to enter the hall. I can't bear to look because I'd be too scared. I want you to think highly of yourself. You see, my heart feels like it's going to burst at any moment too. I've had experiences like that in fencing matches, but those experiences are a good thing for a play. 2 options (Same Response) By the way, was your role swapped too? Taromaiti's the Demon King this time, right? …… I’m surprised. You're sharp as ever, [Player]. I get how passionate the theater group is regarding plays, but personally I just can’t accept the castings. No matter what kind of person he was in the past, there is nothing admirable about about carving out new wounds. Besides, it's not weird for someone known as a Demon King to take on the role of a Demon King, is it? I can become someone that I couldn't be before. That's why it's the big appeal of a play. Well, I... have been called a "Demon King" so many times in the past. I have little confidence in making the role. Taromaiti says that with a wink and laughed mischievously. In the end, I exchanged roles with my role of a "hero." “I am the Demon King, Tonas. I will dye everything in the world in the supreme Japanese food culture." “The world will soon bow down to me!” “You believe you can get away with that? The Hero of the Sacred Sword, Jakarta, will stand up to you!” Hah. 2 options (Same Response) I was blown away by that! The both of you were great! Hahaha, thank you. Chernobog, how are you feeling now? I am grateful. Because of this, I feel I can perform without feeling stiff on stage. We should get going soon. Let’s change into our costumes and review the script from beginning to end. Of course. We'll be seeing you later, [Player]. 2 options (Same Response) I’m looking forward to the play! Good luck! The two people wave their hands and leave the venue. When the figures disappear, the smartphone glows. Ooooh, what an unexpected turn of events, eh? That Demon King should perform spectacularly. Speaking of plays, the story's about rescuing the captive princess and defeating the king of evil, right? Eheheh~, I'm so excited to see it! I'm positive I'm gonna love this play! Buying some popcorn and sitting on Master's lap... Eeeeee, I can't wait~! 1 option Did you hear a weird voice? ...... Oh, you're right. It kinda sounds like yelling... Oh, it's crying, crying noises! It came from over there! Let’s check it out! Heave! Ho! Heave! Ho! Festivals! Festivals! Heave ho! In your line of sight where the shrieks drew you in, there was a strange group of people there. In the middle of the group is where the source of the screams is coming from. Uwaaaaaaaaaaah...! My head's... My head's spiniiiiiing...! It's a group of children with pumpkin headgear. They were spinning a bear beastman in the air like they wanted to put him in a coma. The children's sounds of laughter with no sense of tension, the bear's screams of agony with no tension echoes in the air. … What the heck is going on? Do you do this on Halloween too? Today is a fun festival! Come on, everyone, let's celebrate! Heave ho! Heave ho! Trick or Treat! A prank for your favorite child, the child who you care about! Gyaaaaah!! *Sounds of being spun around* Somebody, stop theeem! Heeeelp meeeee!! 3 options (Same Response) They're awfully strong for kids! Do they prefer pranks over candy? ? Why is that bear getting lifted up? ? Errr... Where are you getting that idea from? Even though I'm proud of being a 3rd-class gag, I'm practically speechless that there's so many of them!! … Huh? Huuuuuh? Hey, those pumpkin-headed children! Some kind of weird power is being put on them, specifically tricky magic powers! 2 options (Same Response) I’m going to go help him. Salomon-Kun, wait here. What an impulse decision! You never hesitate when it comes to helping others! Honestly, I don't get what's going on here, but they're kids, Master! Make sure you go easy on them! Anything's fine, just help me quuuuick!!
