Place: Mortstein Hotel • Guest Room / ホテル • モーントシュタイン客室
Yui: (What is Ruki kun planning to do today?)
(Because yesterday, he couldn’t decide what we should exactly do after all…)
Ruki: Oi, get ready. We’re going out.
Yui: Eh…!?
Ruki: From hereafter, we’ll try to solve the anxiety of the lady from the sugar house.
It depends on the person whether those two will make up smoothly or not.
However, we’ve gotten no other choice but to do that.
Yui: Yes, I see... I get you.
Then, are we gonna go to the sugar house once more?
Ruki: ...No, we’ll go to the Rene • Do • Aji general store.
Yui: Rene • Do ….Aji?
(I’ve heard this name before though...where was that…)
Ruki: Aji has a general store in the back alley, and she’s the most well-informed person in this town.
There is a high possibility of getting medicine or something for curing the disease for her younger sister if we ask Aji (her).
Yui: Oh, I see now…!
(For awaring of something like this, Ruki kun is incredible…)
Ruki: ...However, I wonder if his girlfriend also had been searching for the cure.
But, we should do it to make assarance.
Yui: Alright! I am getting ready right away.
Place: レーヌ•ド•アジの店 / Reine • Dō • Aji Store
Ruki: Excuse us.
Yui: So- sorry for interrupting…
(This is the general store of Aji huuh…)
(I am just feeling everything here to be suspicious. I must not get away from Ruki kun…)
(More than that, where is Aji san…?)
Ruki: 一 I know that you are watching us. Show yourself, Rene • Dō • Aji…
*S- scary sound! / Aji shows up*
Rene • Dō • Aji: ...Damn grief, you sharp boy…
Anyway? What do you want from me?
In the chap- 02, I translated the disease of her lil’ sis as “生まれつき体の弱い / sick since she was born. It also literally means “Naturally weak” disease. If u think it more basically, they both mean the same. Here, particularly “weak” and “sick” refer to the same in British / USA English.||
Ruki: We’re searching for an antidote or black-magic which can cure the naturally weak disease.Rene • Dō • Aji:
I thought maybe you’ll be well-knowledged about it.
Yui: Please...help us.
Rene • Dō • Aji: Hmmm…
It’s not like I refuse but... I won’t recommend you to.
Rene • Dō • Aji: I wanted to say that collecting the ingredients will be very difficult.
Ruki: That’s fine too. We have no other choice but to rely on that.
Rene • Dō • Aji: Hmph...what a courageous boy.
Then, it’s alright. I’ll tell you what to do.
Nearby forest of the….Smaragd Volcano, there is an extraordinary rare mushroom existing there.
Although I have to use it as an ingredient, I couldn’t find it at first glance.
Rene • Dō • Aji: It grew up inside the ground and will always live there….therefore, you have to dig it up.
If you find that dream-like Demon World Mushroom, then bring that to me. It’s the requirement for making the antidote.
Ruki: Yeah, got it.
...Let’s prepare ourselves to move there. Let’s go, Yui.
Yui: Yes!
Place: Lake / 湖
Yui: (It’s just like a date-spot and there are couples out here…)
(I wish I could also ride like them in the lake with Ruki kun…)
Ruki: What are you spacing out for? Forest is this way.
Yui: Ah, I am coming…!
(He is always thinking various things for my sake.)
Yui: (I also have to work hard. I must only think about my heart or…)
???: Are you two gonna enter the forest?
Yui: Eh, you are….?
Street Vendor near Lake: I am doing my business in this stall, y’know? More than that, I wanted to say…
Yui: (He wanted to say something about going to the forest?)
Ruki: Yeah, you’re right. We want to go into the forest.
Street Vendor near Lake: Aah, I knew it.
Then you better watch out. There’s a ferocious beast which is loitering around the forest.
Yui: Fe- ferocious…!?
Street Vendor near Lake: Anyways, all I wanted to say was that you should best-prepared and be careful.
Ruki: Yeah, we will.
Yui: We understood. Thank you for informing…!
Place: 山中 / Inside of Mountain
Yui: Wow…!
(Aah...I’ve mistaken again. I only have to look for that rare mushroom…)
Yui: Tell me, Ruki kun. What about searching that way?
Ruki: ...We can’t.
Yui: I see…
….By the way, this place is very silent.
That street vendor said that there is a beast but, I think it was a rumor…
(Ruki kun is here so it’s gonna be okay...but, as I thought, I am a little worried.)
(Plus there’s also no assurance that the beast won’t come out…)
Ruki: ...Don’t put on the anxiety expression. Leave it to me.
Yui: Ruki kun…
Ruki: Above all, I am assuming that this area has no bait for those beasts.
Yui: ….So sorry, for being worried.
Ruki: No, that’s fine.
Well, let’s prepare a camp. Or we have to sleep in the open air I guess.
Yui: Yeah, that’s right.
*After a while*
Yui: (Speaking of that, what can we do to manage this…)
Ruki: Ngh
*Sound*
Yui: (Wah, he’s wonderful….!)
(While I was thinking about managing tarpaulin, his familiars are sticking that with the tree branches.)
(This area has become a camping place just in a single go…!)
Ruki: Oi, hold this.
Yui: Eh…? Will I hold flambeau…?
(Wah! The flambeau lights the fire…!)
*Flaming sounds*
Ruki: Beasts are scared of fire. If we fence our surroundings with this, then you can also be in ease for a little.
Yui: Th- thank you…!
Ruki: Also...take this too. We have to search for dinner-stuffs after all.
Yui: Understood!
Place: Lake / 湖
*Throws the fishing rod*
Ruki: …….
Yui: (Probably it will be the first time to see him fishing.)
(He told me to wait here but…)
(I don’t want to leave everything onto him.)
(If it’s only lending him a hand by collecting some wild grasses then I can do it, right. I have to be careful so I won’t get lost from him…)
Ah…!
These are one kind of herbs right? Then, let’s gather the wild grasses from there….
*Yui runs*
Place: 山中 / Inside of Mountain
Yui: ...huh?
(What should I do, I think I have moved into the back of the forest without even realizing I realized like a crazy…)
(I gotta get back to Ruki kun…!)
Umm...the direction of the lake was...一
*Screen shakes*
Yui: 一 kh!! A sound like something blew up…!?
Place: Smaragd Volcano / スマラクト火山
Yui: Ah, the volcano is…!
*Screen shakes*
Yui: (一kh, no! Don’t exploid...!)
*Sound*
Yui: Kyaaa!!
*BG black*
一kh, uuugh...
(What can I do, I fell into the hole…)
(I have to get out from here! A- aight…!)
(My hands can’t reach…! Just a little…)
Yui: Is there anyone! Someone help me!!
Ruki kun! Answer, Ruki kun…!!
….kh….
(Ruki hadn’t noticed me I think…)
*Wolf howls*
(Th- sound just now...more than that, there are countless eyes which are brightly gazing above the hole!?)
(Are these the eyes of those beasts…? Don’t tell me that I have turned out to be prey for them…!?)
(kh….there are nothing but wooden sticks near me…)
Eeeh! Stay only there…!
*Shoots a stick*
Kh….!
*those beasts get mad*
Yui: No...don’t come here!!
*growl*
*Tries to attack her*
Yui: 一 ouch!?
*Yui starts crying*
(Because of their nails, I got a scratch back of my hand….!)
(Uuh, it hurts...if Ruki kun would be here then….)
Ruki kun, help me!!
*Throwing Sound*
Yui: 一 kh!?
(This light is of that flambeau…!? Someone just threw alot of these towards the beasts…!)
*Escapes*
(No way…!? They just run away!?)
Ruki: ….I think I made it in time.
Yui: Ruki kun…!
(So, it was Ruki kun to save me from those animals…)
Ruki: I told you not to get away from me! Seriously, you made me struck with terror…
Yui: ...I am so sorry. I got crazy for those wild grasses and then ended up going deep into the forest…
But, thank you for helping me. Thanks to you I was saved.
Ruki: ….Well, that’s okay. More importantly一
*Ruki gets closer*
Ruki: Extend your hand. I’ll pull you up.
Yui: ngh...yes.
Ruki: Don’t let go of hand….hggh!
*BG back to forest*
Yui: 一 kh, haah…
Ruki: ...phew…
Yui: (...ah…!)
(Muds are stuck onto his shoes...he was searching around me.)
(Also, that was perfect timing.)
(As I thought, he is very kind and reliable…)
Ruki kun, thank you.
Ruki: ……..
Yui: Ruki kun…?
What’s wrong…?
Ruki: Oi, where did you get this wound?
Yui: gh...that was...when those beast attacked me, I got a little scratch.
But, I am fine you know. The scratches are not that deep…
Ruki: …….*sighs*
You’re not fine…
Yui: 一ngh….!
(He just took my hand and…)
Ruki: I won’t stop until I’m done with full-scale treatment. However, if it’s simple as first-aid then一
Nh….mnnn…
Yui: Ru, Ruki kun…!?
(He’s licking my scars…)
Ruki: Be silent…
Yui: B- but…
Ruki: ….nh….mnn….
Yui: (He isn’t listening to what I am saying…)
(Enough already...I can’t show him my face…)
Place: Lake / 湖
Ruki: ...Finally we’re here huh.
Yui: Sorry for causing troubles.
Ruki: I told you many times that I don’t mind. Don’t worry.
Yui: Mhm, thank you….
But….At the end, I couldn’t even gather some wild grasses…
(I feel like I’ve always been causing him troubles.)
Ruki: I was thinking that I caught so many fish. That’s so perfect right?
Look closely, only two of us can’t finish eating these.
Yui: (He’s pointing onto that...bucket…?)
(Ah…!)
(That’s great. There are many large fish which are even swimming…!)
Yui: Ruki kun? What’s the name of these fish?
Ruki: It is called “mass”. It’s yummy if it is foil grilled. This will be our dinner.
Yui: Yes!
Ruki kun, is it okay to put firewoods here?
Ruki: Yes.
Yui: Well...we will need more firewoods soon, right?
Ruki: It will help. I am sorry.
Yui: Nope. Because I can’t do anything but these.
(The dinner should be so fun. I want to finish these completely….)
*Sound*
Ruki: 一kh!!
Yui: Ruki kun, are you okay!?
(As the fire brusted, his hand was….!)
*Clothing*
Yui: You get burned? Show me your hand…
Ruki: Don’t worry just for this. It will get cured if you leave it as it is.
Yui: No...you should take care of yourself more.
Ruki: ….kh, Yui….
Yui: I have a handkerchief, so let me make it wet and apply it in your hand?
Wait there. I am sure it was here 一
*Something drops*
Yui: Eh…?
(Something fell now? I felt like gold had just sparkled…)
Is it the mushroom or something….?
Ruki: kh...that’s it! It’s something that Aji told us to search.
Yui: Eh, it means…!?
(Why was it inside the pocket…)
Ruki: ...Attracting others by a coincidence is one of your specialities. Everything is fine now.
Yui: Yeah, maybe.
(If Ruki kun says it then it’s fine with this…)
Ruki: Mhm, that’s right. You said you had a handkerchief, right?
Can you lend it for a while?
Yui: Sure, but what will you do?
Ruki: I am gonna keep away from others’ sights.
Yui: (Wah! He just wrapped it so neatly…)
But are you sure? Because your burn will get…
Ruki: It’s no deal at all, already getting healed.
Yui: (He’s right….For vampires, the wounds get cured so quickly.)
Ruki: We don’t have freetimes for resting anymore. Let’s continue preparation for the dinner.
Yui: ( I don’t think it was cooked so promptly, but the dinner has turned out so splendid…!)
Ruki: Let’s finish dinner before it gets cold.
Yui: Yes, let’s eat…!
Ruki: Yup.
Yui: nh...mnn...Ruki kun, it’s super delicious.
Ruki: If you like it, then it was worth it to cook it.
Yui: Mhm, thank you.
(The scary feelings that I was having have disappeared before I even knew it…)
(I am sure because Ruki kun is here with me...I think I really like...一)
Ruki: ……
Yui: ….ngh….!
(He is touching my lips 一)
Ruki: Because you were eating so hurriedly, so it was attached to your lips.
Yui: kh…!
(No...showing such a face to him is embarrassing!)
*Ruki hugs Yui*
Ruki: ….Yui, don’t go away. Come closer.
Yui: (...gh, he just hugged me!?)
Ruki: Let’s rest here tonight. We’ll be back to the hotel afterwards.
Yui: Y- yes…
Ruki: pft...what’s wrong? Are you nervous?
Yui: kh...that’s not it, but…
Ruki: Kukuh...you’re denying it by making such a face, it doesn’t have any cogency at all, ya’know?
Yui: (Haah...looks like everything I was thinking got exploded to him.)
*Ruki kisses Yui*
Yui: ….ngh….!
(H- he kisses me…!?)
Ruki: I couldn’t help it. It’s the fault for your cuteness.
Yui: kh...Ruki kun.
Ruki: ...You make that face again.
...I can’t hold back. Once more...nnh…*kiss*
Yui: ….nh…!
Place: レーヌ•ド•アジの店 / Reine • Dō • Aji Store
Ruki: This is the dream-like Demon world Mushroom that you asked, no?
Reine • Dō • Aji: Oh my...I didn’t think you’d really find it…
Of Course it is. ...However, the ingredients are not enough yet.
Yui: Wasn’t it only a requirement…?
Ruki: ….Where do you want us to search this time?
Reine • Dō • Aji: Where you asked...it’s here, he-re, you know.
Yui: (Eh, inside this store?)
*Aji passes a paper*
Reine • Dō • Aji: Here, take this. This is the recipe of the antidote that you asked me to prepare.
Where do you think these ingredients are in this shop?
Well, it seems like I can’t find these here…
(Certainly, this store is messed around with the stuff…)
Ruki: There seems to be no choice but to do it.
Yui: ….mhm.
*After a moment*
Yui: (I don’t mind searching the whole store, but...I can't find these at all.)
(Plus, the thing I am most worrying about is….)
Ruki: ……..
Yui: (He is obviously frustrated…)
(Ruki kun who is fond of cleaness, naturally, it should be very disgusting to him.)
(I’ve decided to find the ingredients hurriedly and make it easier for him.)
*After a while*
(There is a box of small bottles between these piled up books…)
(There’s something liquid inside that small bottle. Perhaps, it’s one of the ingredients?)
Aight, let’s pull it out…
*Tries to pull out*
Yui: Just a little...一uwah!?
*Something falls*
Yui: *coughs*.... *coughs*!
(It means... I have caused troubles for Ruki kun again.)
*Ruki comes by running*
Ruki: 一 Oi, what were you doing?
Yui: Ah, Ruki kun….!
Apologize for mistake / 自分のミスだと謝る (+Correct)
Tell him that there was a ingedient / ここに材料があると報告
Yui: S- sorry. When I forcibly pulled it then, I fell and…
Ruki: ….Gimme your hand. I’ll help you to stand up.
Yui: Y- yes...thank you.
*Stands up*
Yui: (Haah...I bothered him again.)
Ruki: ….Don’t make such a face. I don’t really mind.
Yui: Yes...thank you.
Ruki: However, everything is messed up in this place…
Yui: ...Certainly it is an uncomfortable place for you right?
Ruki: Leaving us here who doesn't know what is where, I don’t get it at all.
For example, the book that you just dropped….
(Wah, it’s full of dust. Looks like no one has opened it in forever…)
Ruki: ...It’s a pharmacy book. However…
*Pages skip*
It has nothing to do with the disease of his girlfriend’s sister.
Ruki: This is…
...Oh, a history book.
The pharmacy books should be arranged in a line….
Then, the writers of books on this shelf…
Yui: (He is cleaning these instead of searching the ingredients…!?)
(But, these sides are likely him.)
(Aight! Let’s gather the ingredients by chance…!)
*After a moment*
Reine • Dō • Aji: Haaah….I slept well.
Anyways, what about the ingredients?
If you are just keeping me waiting, then you don’t have to say anyth一
Ruki: Ofcourse, we’ve collected everything.
Yui: You can now prepare the antidote using this?
Reine • Dō • Aji: What!? Is that true!?
...Hō, you guys are very admirable.
Certainly you found them. Even I didn’t know what was where…
Yui: Oh, then…
Ruki: Only the things I had to face, but I had categorised and sorted them.
*paper passes*
I have written where the things are arranged by me.
You can use this method now. So, the number of stuff that you lose will decrease.
Reine • Dō • Aji: *Gasp* …….
Yui: (...Why did she become shut so suddenly…)
Reine • Dō • Aji: You guys are superb! Thanks for helping me out.
Ah! It’s been a while to feel happy like this…
Yui: (It’s good that he is pleased…!)
Reine • Dō • Aji: Of course, I will prepare the antidote for you.
You did such a good thing. I can’t break this promise.
Yui: Thank you so much!
Ruki: By the way, what time will you finish compounding the antidote?
Reine • Dō • Aji: Hmmm….what about visiting me tomorrow? Since tomorrow is the finale of the parade after all…
I will work hard to make that in time…
Yui: (I see, so tomorrow is the last day of the parade…)
(All the days I spent with Ruki kun here...they seem to pass away so fast…)
Ruki: Got ya. We’ll meet you again tomorrow.
...I think we should move back to the hotel. Let’s go for the actions tomorrow.
Yui: Yes…!
(Tomorrow is the last day, really…)
(Let’s try our best so we can have the Finale without having any regrets!)
