[2nd Night: A Turnip Swoops Down]


Volos expression neutral.png

Well now, let me do this properly...
Thank ya for what you've done for me. For saving my life earlier.

Volos expression joy.png

Now then, let's get on with the investigation together, shall we?
Huhu... We're kinda like detectives, aren't we?


3 options
You're gonna do reckless things at this rate. If you're a detective, then you'll need a partner. This is so exciting!
Volos expression neutral.png

You may be right about that.
At times like this, I need to calm myself down.

Volos expression joy.png

Being overexcited can cause you to overlook things.
Paying close attention is vital to being a good researc- Aaaah!

Volos expression sad.png

J... Just like that, this happens to me.
Owowouch... I tripped myself again.

Volos expression neutral.png

Oh, that would be wonderful!
You get to have a lot of acquaintances.

Volos expression joy.png

I'm sure a detective with remarkable abilities would make a fine living.

Volos expression surprised.png

Huh, the beach hut? Part-time work? Babysitter?
Could a detective be self-proclaimed in other things too...?

Volos expression joy.png

Is that right?
It makes me happy that we feel the same way.

Volos expression neutral.png

Carefully taking the evidence is a step closer in finding the truth.
Having that kind of attitude is what it takes to be a researcher.


Volos expression surprised.png

Ah, I was about to go off-topic again!
I think I'll come up with a plan about that after this.

Volos expression neutral.png

This be an example, but...
Suppose the vegetables I grew with great care all withered and died.

Volos expression neutral.png

What will you do if something terrible like that happens?
What do you think you should do in that situation?


3 options
I'd feel terrible about it. Give it up and plant the next seed. Figure out the cause of it.
Volos expression sad.png

You got that right! If something like that happened to my beloved vegetables,
I would be sobbing in bed for a week!

Volos expression pout.png

I can't sulk about it forever, y'know.
If I'm still sulking about it, I can't focus on the next thing!

Volos expression joy.png

Because if I don't move on,
the love I gave to the vegetables that just died would be all for naught.

Volos expression neutral.png

Right. Agriculture has evolved because of the many failures of our ancestors,
and the challenges they had to overcome.

Volos expression neutral.png

I was afraid to make mistakes when I first started out in researching.
When I wouldn't give it another go, my seniors and teachers would often scold me.

Volos expression joy.png

If we want to find the cause of this, you'll need to have the guts to do what you need to do.
You might actually be cut out for this research business, hmmhmm~.

Volos expression joy.png

Ah, I expected no less from you! You are very calm about that.
I believe it's very important to take measures if there's a failure.

Volos expression neutral.png

Failure is no means an "error."
Researchers think over the data for the sake of success.

Volos expression neutral.png

It's remarkable how you came up with that right away!
It took me a long time for me to think like that.


Volos expression neutral.png

Sorry for asking you a weird question like that.
I was a little curious on how you would react.

Volos expression sad.png

Erm... What I want to say is...

Volos expression neutral.png

I'm looking for people that suffered the same fate as the children from before.
I was thinking of getting in touch with them.


3 options
Isn't that dangerous? Is this because you couldn't observe them carefully? You were spinning around and around.
Volos expression neutral.png

You're worried about me, hmm?
I'll be fine, because this time you're here with me.

Volos expression sad.png

You're absolutely correct!
I barely got the chance because I got caught and got spun around so quickly.

Volos expression sad.png

That was an unexpected turn of events for me, euuugh...
I tried to run away, but I ended up falling over instead.


Volos expression joy.png

I'm a researcher, even though I may not look like one.
First thing to do is accept the phenomenon around you and analyze it.

Volos expression neutral.png

No matter how hard it is to believe,
the start to finding the truth comes from there.

Volos expression surprised.png

Animals and plants... they all have life.
Their bodies are all made up of it, and they express it with their loud outcries.

Volos expression joy.png

Research is not about being fixed on reality.
You see, it's to bring light to their behavior, their motives.

Volos expression neutral.png

For the sake in accomplishing that, we need to find a suitable test subject.
I believe it's very important for observation.

Volos expression neutral.png

Based on what I just told you...
I'm planning to make that a principle... What do you think?


2 options (same response)
That’s a very adult way of thinking. That's incredible, Volos.


Volos expression embarrassed.png

Huh? O-Oh... I'm a tad embarrassed because not many people have told me that.

Volos expression sad.png

But, the original saying is a second hand from a certain person.


Volos abruptly stopped talking and pointed his nose at the sky.


Volos expression pout.png

(Sniffle)... Hic... Hic...

Volos expression embarrassed.png

Hey, I noticed it earlier but...
What could that sweet aroma be?

Volos expression sad.png

It's not a fragrant ingredient like vanilla,
it's not caramel with charred sucrose either......

Volos expression surprised.png

This smell... Hmm... No doubt 'bout it.
It's a dish that has my pumpkins in it!


2 options (same response)
How are you so sure about that? That's an amazing sense of smell!


Volos expression neutral.png

I just know. I'm telling you, it's the pumpkins I grew myself!

Volos expression pout.png

Full of love and I thoroughly sampled it too!
I'm positive because I did the sensory analysis very carefully!

Volos expression joy.png

You see, sensory analysis uses the inspector's five senses.
It's basically a replacement inspection device.

Volos expression surprised.png

Ayaya, I went off again!
Hey wait, the smell is getting stronger than before!

Volos expression pout.png

There may be people under the same influence.
A-At any rate, we should go and trace that smell!


Location changes to a small room with pumpkins everywhere

The Female Student is an Ice Mage Mob.

Female Student:( face)
Welcome, welcome! This is a special sale,
right here at Daikanyama Academy!

Female Student:( face)
Would you care for some pumpkin stew?
It's a delicious stew, loved by children and adults alike.


It's a temporary stall inside the academy. It's a store selling pumpkin stew set up in one spot.

A sickly-sweet aroma that makes you cough a little fills the air around you.


Volos expression surprised.png

M-My bad, I'll take back what I said.
They're similar to my pumpkins, but they're a bit different.

Volos expression sad.png

It's a little hard to explain if you were to ask what's specifically different 'bout them, but... Let's see here...

Volos expression pout.png

They deliberately boiled my pumpkins, and it seems like they added some kind of spice to it -

Volos expression sad.png

I'm getting a bad feeling about this.
Aaaaaah! What did they do to my pumpkins...!?

Volos expression surprised.png

Ughyaa! W-What, what?!
It got pitch black all the sudden!

Salomon-kun expression neutral.png

Master, this is an emergency! This smell makes your nose make a U-turn!

Salomon-kun expression neutral.png

It's the same magic I felt from those Jack-O-Lanterns,
the ones that were vigorously spinning the bear there from a while ago -

Childrens' voices:( face)
Kyahahahahaha~! We found you, we found youuuuuu!

Childrens' voices:( face)
You’ve come to play with us~!
We're so happy that we get to have so much fun together~!

Childrens' voices:( face)
A special day where nobody can yell at us.
Papa, Mama, not even the teachers.

Childrens' voices:( face)
Only today are we allowed to be mischevious.
That's why everyone should be happy!

JackOLantern expression pumpkin.png

Trick-Or-Treaaaaat!


You notice that the people eating the stew from the stall all became Pumpkin Monsters.


Volos expression surprised.png

Waaah, t-there's so many of them!!
I didn't expect this many people here...!

Volos expression pout.png

I-I see them in order, one by one, side by side in a row!

JackOLantern expression pumpkin.png

Welcome, visitors! You run away, we chase you!

JackOLantern expression pumpkin.png

Either way is fine! Either way is fine!
Run and chase, chase and run!

JackOLantern expression pumpkin.png

Spin you 'round, round and around! FOREVER!
Come on, guys! Let's go Trick-or-Treating!


2 options (same response)
Is that Halloween-like?! Geez, this conversion doesn't make any sense.


Volos expression sad.png

Are these children spellbound with the Halloween spirit?
No, but they are only children...

Volos expression pout.png

A child naturally tends to prioritize their cravings and curiosity
rather than try to understand things.


2 options (same response)
Leave this to me. Volos, stay back.


Volos expression surprised.png

Y-You're not planning on handling them all by yerself, are you!?
There's more of them than before! It's too dangerous!

Volos expression pout.png

Let's skedaddle for now!
After working out a plan, we can try aga-

Children:( face)
Kyahahaha~! Cauuuught you~. We caught you~!

Volos expression pout.png

O-Oh no! You are all good boys and girls,
that's why you should let me goooooooaaaaaaah!!

JackOLantern expression pumpkin.png

Go, goooooooo! Everyone, charge!
Let's go play with Mr. Bear!

Children:( face)
Heave! Hooooo!! Take him with us and spin spin spin him around!


The Pumpkins all at once lifted up Volos, lifting him high in the air and takes him away.


Volos expression surprised.png

Hyaaaaaa!! Cut it out!
W-Why are you doing this only to meeeee!!

Volos expression surprised.png

Waah! Waah! Getting... spun around... my... eyes... spinning...!!


2 options (same response)
Volos! I'm getting you right now!


JackOLantern expression pumpkin.png

No way, no way! You won't get in our way!
We're taking him to the dream world!

JackOLantern expression pumpkin.png

You won't get in our way!
We're going to the dream world!

JackOLantern expression pumpkin.png

See you later and may we see you tomorrow!
Not in our world though!


The Lanterns blocked your way in a combination you never anticipated.

Engulfed by the crowd of children, you thought Volos would be gone for good, until...


Mysterious Dignified Voice:( face)
Please wait!


Together with strong wind pressure, something large and spherical is on the Pumpkin Heads' bodies...


JackOLantern expression pumpkin.png

Fugyaaa?!

Volos expression sad.png

Uwaaaaaaaah!


Volos was thrown down along with screaming. The object that was thrown at them rolls across the ground.

The object was a large, white vegetable. It appears to be like a turnip.


JackOLantern expression pumpkin.png

Eeuuugh!!

Children:( face)
W-Who did that!? Whatever they just threw,
it's getting in our way!!

This Alice is referred to as "Enigmatic Pretty Boy" for a while.

Mysterious Dignified Voice:( face)
I will appear if you call out for me!
However, my real name is a secret! It's to remain a mystery after all!

Alice expression halloween anger.png

Hahaha. Tricks are something to make you laugh.
Do more than that and it won't be called as such, even if it's controlled.

Alice expression halloween neutral.png

Pumpkin Heads! This young bear dislikes being carried off against his own will!
Now, listen carefully to what I have to say!

Alice expression halloween smile.png

Are you aware of a vegetable used in Italian cuisine called zucchinis?

Alice expression halloween neutral.png

That vegetable may look like cucumbers,
but actually they're a species of pumpkin called a pepo pumpkin!

Alice expression halloween smile.png

Incidentally, if you replace potatoes with them in curry,
the flavor will be absolutely delicious!

Children:( face)
Oooh, is that true? Sounds yummy~. I love curry.

Children:( face)
Somehow, I'm in the mood to eat curry.
My tummy is growling~.


Thanks to the unexpected intruder, all the kids in that situation all stopped in their tracks.

That mysterious character... opened up an opporunity for you!


Alice expression halloween anger.png

Now, [Player]! Rescue him! Go and rescue the Bear!


3 options (same response)
Who are you?! Thanks for the random trivia! How do you know my name?!


Alice expression halloween anger.png

Don’t worry about that!
I was just reading the room! Now, quickly!


You made your way to where Volos is faster than the Pumpkins before they got their acts together.

You see for yourself that the Mysterious Pretty Boy throws a refreshing smile, standing up to the Jack-O-Lanterns.


Volos expression embarrassed.png

T-Thank you, [Player].
I was nearly carried off somewhere again...!


2 options (same response)
Wait here for a minute. I'm backing him up!


Volos expression pout.png

Y-Yeah... Got it!
I'll observe and collect information!

Volos expression sad.png

I think I'll be safe here, but you're up against children!
Please be gentle with them like you did before.

Volos expression joy.png

One more thing... Be careful.
