Event Quest:I'm Not Afraid of Halloween!:VN:1-2

[Translation by Kukuru]

Location: Daikanyama Academy

A flash of a blade detached the mysterious objects. With one swing, the pumpkins collapsed.

Then, what’s left afterwards-

Children:( face) Oooooow…… Uuoh, I don’t feel so good……

Where… am I? Um… who are you?

They didn’t understand the situation either- The children were as confused as they were.

Ah, these children. It appears they don’t remember anything.

I wonder what happened? I speculate that they were being manipulated somehow.

1 option
Like this pumpkin for example?

The pumpkin headgear that were originally on the children, It seems that it became smaller than it was before.

Based on the eyes and nose being hollow, it turned out to be a Jack-O-Lantern for Halloween.

Uh-huh… it looks like… an ordinary pumpkin doesn’t it?

I don’t feel any spiritual presence in them… Do you feel anything unusual?

Let’s see…… (sniff sniff). What an oddly delicious, fragrant smell!

There's no doubt about it- This must be a pumpkin that tastes like candy!

1 option
That seems to be a nice thought……

Of course it is. Those pumpkins were single-handedly made by me.

Showered with precious sunlight, they are finely crafted as sweet and tender.

Moreover…… these pumpkins are clearly flawless. They’re nothing like the ones you find on Halloween.

The contents are extracted with nothing left inside. There are literally no “seeds” or “gimmicks.”

Now, let’s see what caused these circumstances. I wonder if there are factors other than this pumpkin…

2 options (same response)
Do you know why?	Maybe something dangerous is living in it.

……Ah! Sorry! I was so caught up in my investigation that I forgot to introduce myself.

Erm…… Thank you for your help. My name is Volos, an active Agricultural Student.

Now then. Let’s begin a thorough examination immediately.

After giving a polite thank you, Volos took out various tools from his pocket.

This research is based on the experience of living things. It is crucial to record every single detail.

First, I’ll examine the size. Next, I’ll measure the weight… take a piece of the skin……

2 options (same response)
Hello?	What are you planning to do?

I am studying this pumpkin. Since I made it, it is my responsibility.

He is the creator of this pumpkin? Well, I didn’t expect him to be the culprit……

Judging by his face… he doesn’t appear to be a bad person.

What’s wrong? … Is there something on my face?

1 option
Was the chaos your responsibility?

Hmm… Yes, I’m aware of that. To tell you the truth, I am very surprised.

From my memory of the situation… it can’t be helped that my pumpkins were the cause of this.

I cannot deny it. To be honest, I don’t understand why.

…… That’s right. That does make me appear a little suspicious.

About this incident...... Would you like to hear an explanation?

As I have stated earlier- This pumpkin was made by me.

I’m doing research on agriculture. Especially that I am majoring in vegetable production.

I’m trying to make delicious vegetables. I want the children to eat a lot of it.

In the end of my research- This is a prototype which I managed to make right before mass production.

This is a large and fine pumpkin. It is a finely delicious, comforting masterpiece.

To begin with, insect or artificial pollination cannot produce pumpkins like these.

This is simply selective breeding, There is nothing more to say-

Beginning with plant genetics, This is a peculiar characteristic for these species-

An endless stream of knowledge began to pour out of Volos’ mouth.

He switched over to his professional talk and went on and on. The children gradually got bored and left the scene.

Expression of recessive inheritance caused by inter-generational breeding, In some cases, it can be ignored.

Faaaaah~. Master, this man’s story is very long.

If we don’t forcibly stop him, he’ll continue to talk for a long time!

2 options (same response)
Can you keep the story short?!	Is there a reason why they’re being possessed?

Aaaaaaah, sorry! I couldn’t stop talking…!

There must be a reason why these pumpkins are being possessed. In this current situation… I’m afraid I don’t know.

After all, I just want to produce delicious pumpkins.

I raised them very well, I even put a lot of love into them…

I am the caretaker… I raised them myself!

Based on Volos’ face, there is not a single hint of a lie.

It’s obvious looking at the situation. It’s far from an excuse for my pumpkins……

......

Okay, I’ve decided!

I will investigate why my pumpkins have become like this.

I'll locate the cause so the next one doesn't move arbitrarily. I will make delicious pumpkins!

I will be going now! …… Though I doubt this will be the last time we’ll seeing each other.

Thank you for everything! The next time we’ll meet…… I’ll treat you to some vegetables.

2 options (same response)
Wait a second, are you going alone?	This will be difficult for you alone.

I have to figure out why my pumpkins have turned out like this.

It’s alright. The general basis is observation, deduction and verifying.

With the power of science, anything can be unraveled.

I will determine the cause- Ughyaaaaaaaaaaa~?!

With a sound effect, The overly-energetic Volos falls over.

Ooough, I hurt my nose…… Why did I have to fall…?

Oh… That’s weird, my feet feel numb……

1 option
There was nothing there to trip you…!

Master…… This man, this is what you would call a “Mr. Airhead” right?

His head seems to be full of research, He doesn’t pay attention to his surroundings.

Ahaha, I give up. This happens to me sometimes.

When I start talking, I just can’t help it. Well, I’ll be going now.

1 option
…… I’ll help you.

...... Eh?

Are you sure? Don’t you have other things to do?

Master, Chernobog-san’s play, do you have enough time until it starts?

2 options (same response)
That won’t be a problem.	I’ll make sure we see it.

…… Okay, I understand. It’s hard convincing you otherwise.

Skillful familiar, Salomon-kun, I will provide perfect support for my master-

I will keep track of time until the play starts. Master, please don’t hesitate in investigating the cause!

This incident! Let’s put an end to it together for Halloween!

2 options (same response)
Let’s go.	Nice to meet you, Volos-san.

Just Volos is fine. I like that you are so carefree.

Hey… Uh… What is your name?

1 option
It's [Player].

Well then, nice to meet you…… [Player].

Thus, this is the start of the conduct between master and Volos-san.

The start of the performance by master, he will be able to solve the case with no problems!

…… Ah! Maaster! Please don’t leave me behind!
