Here we go! The Qian Qiu/Thousand Autumns finale and the extras!
Like I said before, I set out to edit the mtl for the last chunk of Qian Qiu/Thousand Autumns, and then was overcome with excitement and went on to do all the extras too. I have no Chinese of my own, so I really, truly cannot guarantee any accuracy or consistency with the other translators, because there are like twenty of them. But hey, it’s better than raw mtl. And this content… tastey. I don’t care what anyone does with this material, just please don’t go saying that you were the one who went to beat your own head against a brick mtl wall. I do like to receive credit for my own stupid decisions.
Narrator: Once upon a time in a land far away, there was a very unfortunate girl named Cindereki. She lived with her evil stepmother and sisters and was forced to do the cleaning and laundry all day.
Reki: Oof, oof. Ah! I'm finally done cleaning the windows! Now, I have to clean the dishes!
Narrator: Cindereki was doing her chores as always when-
Miya: What? Are you still not finished cleaning?
Narrator: Her second older sister, Miya, came in. Miya said with the eyes of a mean cat.
Miya: You're as shitty as always, Cindereki. I can't believe you're my sister. I don't even want to think about it.
Cherry: You're not done making dinner yet, are you? Are you trying to starve us?
Narrator: That was her oldest sister, Cherry. She said with her fan over her face like she didn't even want to breathe the same air as her.
Reki: I'm sorry, sisters! I'll make it right now!
Narrator: Cindereki said and headed toward the kitchen in a fluster but she was knocked over when she reached the doorway by a large body.
Reki: Gaaaaaah!
Shadow: Oh no! My flower dress has gotten all dirty! Cindereki, you really are just a dumb dirty dog.
Narrator: Her stepmother, Shadow, said while swaying her big body back and forth.
Reki: I'm sorry, mother! I'll make food right away!
Shadow: Whatever, it's fine. Could you get the coach ready?
Reki: You're going out?
Shadow: Hehe. There's a ball at Crazy Rock Castle tonight. Do you know why?
Miya: Mother, is that...!?
Cherry: Will Prince Langa be there!?
Reki: Prince Langa? The one from the snow country?
Shadow: That's right! The prince of Awayuki(light snowfall), Langa-sama! It seems that Prince Langa is looking for someone to marry through an S match!
Reki: No way! I want to go! I want to go!
Cherry: There's no way he'd choose you, you idiot!
Reki: Idiot?!
Shadow: If you can marry Prince Langa you can get all the riches, power and fame you could want!
Cherry: Heh, doesn't sound bad.
Miya: Hey, Cherry, it would be good if Prince Langa likes older women, right?
Cherry: What was that?
Miya: But you're really no match for youth, I think! Look how youthful my skin is.
Cherry: You immature little girl! I'll teach you the appeal of an adult.
Miya: You're too old to get married! I'll call you a heroine so go look for an appropriate guy!
Shadow: Stop it! You're both very beautiful since you look like me.
Miya: We look... like you?
Cherry: No way! We should be grateful to our dead father.
Miya: Yeah.
Shadow: What does that mean!?
Narrator: When night came, the evil stepmother and sisters went to the castle, but they didn't take the unfortunate Cindereki with them.
Reki: Well I guess it can't be helped... My clothes are all tattered and I don't have a skateboard.
Joe: So you're just going to give up?
Narrator: Then, an extremely muscled man in a hood appeared.
Reki: Wh-... Who are you!?
Joe: Me? My name is Joe. I'm just a passing... What do you think I am?
Reki: I don't know.
Joe: Look at these heavily forged muscles... You don't know?
Reki: Umm... a soldier?
Joe: No!
Reki: Then... a knight?
Joe: Look harder. Look how strong I am.
Reki: I know! A martial artist!
Joe: I'm a magician.
Reki: That has nothing to do with your muscles!
Joe: You want to go, right? To Crazy Rock Castle.
Reki: Of course I do. But...
Joe: I'll make you a skateboard with my magic.
Reki: Seriously!? It's my first time seeing magic!
Joe: Oooooh. Muscle... Squat!
Reki: Wh-Why are you squatting!?
Joe: This... is my... muscle... magic!
Reki: Is that really magic?
Joe: You do it too.
Reki: Me too?!
Joe: Let's go!
Reki: Seriously?
Narrator: While Cindereki did squats with the magician, she became worked up and they entered a strange trance of unity.
Joe: Yes! here we go! The muscle power has built up! Muscle magic!
Reki: Woah! It really worked! And this is the first time I've seen a skateboard made of glass! It's so cool!
Joe: I'll give it to you. With that, you'll be able to enter the castle.
Reki: Really? Yes! With this I'll be able to do the S! I'll be able to! Ah... but this won't work. You need a permit sticker to go to the castle.
Joe: Then I guess I'll have to do this. Here we go!
Reki: Why are you stripping?
Joe: Ooooh!
Narrator: As the magician gathered his powers, his six pack ab muscles bulged.
Joe: Magic Six Pack!
Narrator: What an amazing occurrence! Out of the wizard's six pack came 4 horses and a coach along with a permit sticker.
Reki: Seriously!?
Joe: There's nothing muscles can't do.
Reki: No, just say magic in that case.
Joe: But be careful. The things I just created will disappear at midnight.
Reki: Got it! Thank you for everything! Muscle Magic Joe!
Joe: Good luck!
Narrator: This is how Cindereki headed toward Crazy Rock Castle with a glass skateboard.
