Cagliostro’s Character Song | It's Better to Spend 7 Days Creating a Cute Girl Than It Is to Spend It Creating the World | 7日間かけて世界を創るより可愛い女の子1人創った方がいい
im going to sue cagliostro for this mark my words
romaji under the cut but i really dont feel like adding it RN so ill do it like, tomorrow or something. im sure thats online somewhere.
"What does it mean to be cute? How does one become cute?
Um, you see, this is a story of Cagliostro from before she met you, captain.
So it's totally unrelated to the original story. Tee-hee♥"
If I were to become the person I most want to become,
I'd totally become a cute girl!
That being established, first order of business:
Time to scour the world to gather and refine my data!
With alchemy, I, Cagliostro, can
Make anything at all, guaranteed!
So why don't I just do like the book of Genesis
And spend seven days creating a cute girl!
On the first day,
I'll fine-tune the drama and study the art of "playing up my cuteness"
But aren't I just too good at this? We'll get back to this one later
On the second day,
I'll make hearts flutter♥ It's inevitable everyone at school will fall for me~
On the third day,
I'll take a break, so just for now, I'll play some Granblue!¹
Why is everyone so amazed by all this?
It's boring to take the safest route
Who'd want to be caught in an infinite loop?
Sometimes it takes the occasional trickster, like me,
To ruin all that for everyone!
As an alchemist, I, Cagliostro, will
Live for all eternity, guaranteed!
Anywho, since I'm going to all this trouble,
Why don't I just become the world's cutest girl?
On the fourth day,
We'll have a get-together, just us girls, at a sweets buffet!
I'll start my diet tomorrow, and I'll be suuuper strict about it!
On the fifth day,
We're kind of at a crossroads, but I think soft and squishy is the reigning theory here
I'll go ahead and depend on you for all this, and see this through the rest of the way!
"Oh, right! I haven't told you yet, have I, captain?
Cagliostro's se~cret~...Whaaat? You want to know~?
You see, Cagliostro is, actually, the way I feel about you is..."
"Be patient and wait for this in the official story!
I'll fuck up the idiots who are gonna complain about this!
Ars Magna!!"
On the sixth day,
I've found a new item, a youthful☆uniform
If I wear this, I'll be three times more powerful and we'll party after school, yeah☆
On the seventh day,
I flood my TL with "I'm a girl!!"
This is the best thing ever! I've seen the light of hope & demanded it bow to me!
After a few finishing arrangements,
I've completed becoming the cutest girl of all time
I could hardly contain my emotions
So just for now,
So just for now,
So just for now, I'll play some Granblue!
¹ no, really. im serious.
this was simultaneously one of the easiest and one of the hardest songs ive ever had to translate. also yeah she does mention the book of genesis by name so my running theory that both judaism and christianity are in granblue is basically canon now. shes super meta tho.
this is looser than my translations usually are but im really trying to experiment more with making it sound good and keeping the feeling over 1:1.
