Event Quest:I'm Not Afraid of Halloween!:VN:3-2

[Translation by Kukuru]

Location: Daikanyama Academy

This physical strength comes from working in the fields! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

A throw similar to a big bull going in for a strike, Volos is doing his best to keep them at bay.

Meanwhile, the other party lunge at [Player], they could do nothing.

Waah…… Hah…… The numbers…… there’s too many of them……

The swarm of Jack-O-Lanterns, no matter how many they bring down, they did not decrease in number.

On the contrary of the time to drive them out, little by little, the numbers increase again.

A-also…… what’s this? I somehow…… want to cry out-

O-Ooou…… The pressure…… Oh no……

Hey, master! I know what’s happening!

Humans, Dogs, Bears, all of them! The sound waves from the Dog must be entering their consciousnesses like a virus!

That’s what it appears, master……! They must be listening attentively to that Dog!

We need to put an end to this!	Stop, Cusith!

I can’t do that! Everyone in the group will be scattered!

I will protect everyone in the flock! I have to properly guide them so they won’t get lost!

That way, I can call out for everyone! Hoooooowooooooowl!!

Everyone who can hear my voice, come to the flock! Then- you can come along with me!

A safe place, a promised place where something has never occurred before. Everyone, I will take you there.

In this case- “Everyone except for me,” with a single howl, you will all disappear!

The sadness left behind by the people- Everyone won’t get a chance to experience it……!

Making that statement, the Dog heads towards the skies for a grand-scale howl

A sound wave on the spot, it will permeate the minds of everything and everyone.

However- it is by no means a compulsion.

It was a sound of melancholy. It was a scream of sorrow.

That sorrow, everyone who hears it has their hearts clouded.

It cannot be resisted. Feeling empathetic, they have no choice but to obey that voice.

I-it’s no use…… ah. I can’t withstand it any longer-

Alright, everyone! There’s no need to worry! Soon- you will never be sad again!

I’m ready! Time for a large-scale howl!

Third Howling- Hoooooooooooooooooooooooowl!!

???:( face) Don’t give up! Please, keep your minds intact!

A brave voice extends and breaks through the feeling of defeat.

A silhouette soars to the skies, and then takes the Dog down.

Ooooooowww!! Uuwaaaah, waaaaahh!! That was so mean!!

Who the heck are you?! Who are you supposed to be......?

O-Oh, look over there! That person must be……!

Where Volos is pointing- a figure is standing on a tree branch-

It is I!

1 option
The Knight of Rutabaga!

Beloved Dog of the Fairies who is lost in despair! Please listen to my voice!

It is said that a pumpkin in the English language is called a “Pumpkin.”

It is part of the orange category of Halloween. Are you aware of what it is used for?

In this case, an edible pumpkin is called “squash.” Hehe. You should remember that.

Ooh~ so that's what it is! I did not know that! Thank you!

Oooh~, you’re so amazing, and smart too!

Cusith and the Pumpkins applaud the narrator on the tree branch.

The howling that filled the vicinity stopped, its power and effect completely come to a stop.

O-Oh no! I was in the middle of it! Uhh, umm……

“Third Howling”- Hoooooooooooooooooooooooowl!!

Note: Red Eye Cusith is "Young Werewolf?"

Stop it, Black Dog! Those people, they’re not “Grave-robbers!”

Eh?! Y-You……?

I don’t care what you say. I must put an end to this!

It’s useless, no matter what you say, you can't stop this-

What did “Master” say?! “I want you to protect everyone.”

......!!

......

Did his movement come to a stop?!

Now, [Player]! Use your power to break through his sorrow!

Right, Knight of Rutabaga!	With this sword, I will bring Cusith back!

[Battle]

A-aaaaaaah. …… M-Meanie…… kyuuuu……

A blow cut off the power that was in Cusith’s body, he then lies flat on the ground.

And from that- A sweet pumpkin smell escaped.

It appears that it went well. Farewell!

As expected of the stylish wandering knight……! We can count on you as always.

Oh, we should check up on this child.

Cusith’s sleeping.	It’s morning, wake up, wake up!

…… Noo…… I can’t eat pie yet……

2 options (Same Response)
Just like Ryouta……	You're like Ryouta.

…… Huh? It’s morning already……? Uhh…… What was I doing……?

3 options
Nice to meet you.	Haven’t seen you in a while.	Are you OK, Cusith?
Nice to meet you! I’m Cusith! Eh, didn’t you ask me that before? Didn’t I give my name already……?	Oh, [Player]! Long time no see! How long has it been since New Years……?	Oh, [Player]! Yahoo! You also came for Halloween.

Perhaps you don’t remember anything from earlier?

Earlier……? Oh yeah…… I do remember doing something……

Why did I do such a thing? Can I do such a thing?

2 options (Same Response)
Is there a power he’s not aware of?	Was it because of the pumpkins?

…… That’s an appropriate assumption. Rather, it is a natural consequence.

By the way, where is my drink? Goodness, you shouldn’t keep a person waiting.

A-Alice-chan! I’m sorry! I was a little occupied in buying your black tea……

Oh, don't worry, I understand. A bear acquaintance of mine usually does this to me from time to time.

Other than that, the pumpkins have appeared again. It was quite the uproar. What a mess.

The pumpkins have scattered throughout the vicinity, and a voice like a wolf can be heard.

Judging by how you’re looking after the exhausted Dog, it is obvious you have some information. Hehehe.

As expected of the Pretty Girl Detective.	(It’s not how it looks)

…… By the way, that dog. What is your name?

Err…… I’m Cusith. You’re Alice-chan, right?

Yes. My official name is Pretty Girl Detective Alice. From now on, you are an acquaintance.

Yes, thank you! I will call you Pretty Girl Detective Alice!

Just Alice is fine, Cusith.

By the way, Alice. There’s something I’m worried about……

Yes, I know. It is similar to the influence of the pumpkins.

Yes. My pumpkins, I thought it only turned people into Jack-O-Lanterns.

However, Cusith-kun- is it possible he inherited a unique power?

That is possible- I believe it is a special trait of Cusith.

He can kill everything with his voice- Is such a power not hidden?

That course of action functions as the “killing the resistance of the mind.” …… That is my deduction.

Eh, that’s the sort of power I have?!

…… This boy is not aware of himself.

Cusith. Try your best to remember. During that time of the incident, what have you experienced?

Hmm, let’s see…… Oh, I…… wanted to be happy.

Oh……? Okay, anything else?

Every time I howled, I sensed that my friends from various places would come.

Everyone called me “Big Brother.”

Playing together, becoming friends and dancing.

The Lanterns made a similar remark.	Were you really having fun?

Yeah. Everyone just wants to have fun. It was the wishes of the children.

Oh yeah! When I was playing with the children…… I remembered him.

Him?

The dog grave-keeper with red eyes. The “Black Dog.”

The Black Dog…… the children’s protection, The dog grave-keeper that guards the graveyard and removes the grave-robbers.

I see. It protects the children from grave-robbers, I wonder if you became the Black Dog.

Actually, the Black Dog is strange, it’s only in my imaginations……

I remember the Black Dog inside of my head. He wanted to protect the children.

I couldn’t suppress that impulse…… everyone here saw it.

But…… how did you stop the attack? It was clear that your movements stopped midway.

That’s because…… all of you and the children…… I knew I had to stop myself before someone got hurt……

So, I told the Black Dog inside me that they are not bad people.

I screamed at him inside my head…… He got surprised and stopped moving.

So that’s it…… thank you, Cusith-kun. Thanks to your efforts I was saved. You are a fine watchdog.

Even in that situation, you kept at it and saved us.

Ehee~…… you’re making me blush.

…… The Black Dog. Everyone, I believe I have something to say.

“I am the first buried deceased, I cannot go to Heaven, I will become the keeper of the cemetery.”

The Black Dog assumes that role. The Dog whose “role” is to separate everyone by death except for themselves.

…… Almost certainly, Cusith and the Black Dog, your “roles” are awfully close.

Therefore…… there is an “overlap.” In other words, there is an important person to Cusith.

Well, let’s conclude the story there. We as Detectives must pursue this incident.

“Children.” That is an important clue.

There is no malice in their deeds. Just innocence and having fun, and someone to play with.

With this trick, I fear that it’s likely that someone is planning something evil.

1 option
That person goes after people’s minds……!

No no, [Player]. That prejudice narrows the range of reasoning.

Jumping to a simple conclusion, it is the work of a thick-headed detective.

I am a Pretty Girl Detective. I am cautious and bold, I will arrive at the correct answer.

I see. Alice-chan, you are a detective trying to solve this case.

.........

Alright! Take me with you for the investigation!

Eeeh?! It’s dangerous, Cusith-kun! Just leave this to us and return home, okay?

I’ll try not to be a bother to everyone. I can’t leave this alone.

After all…… the children are in danger right? In that case, I need to do something!

I am a frail crybaby…… but I am a watchdog. I’m sure I will be helpful to everyone.

2 options (Same Response)
That’s great, Cusith.	It’ll be dangerous, is that okay?

Ehee~ I’m happy to say that. This time…… I will protect everyone! Yeah!

…… If that is your resolution, then I have no problems with that.

Let’s move on. Let’s follow the pumpkins and determine the aim of the culprit.

Oook~! Everyone, let’s do this together!

1 option
OK!

The Detectives made a new friend. With the addition of Cusith, they head towards the next scene!

What will be waiting for them there? Let’s see what kind of event it turns out to be……!
