Hoshidan Festival: Peri and Nina Parent-Child Convo
Soooo... I think that the the Niles/Peri/Nina family is probably one of the oddest in the game. And, potentially, most frightening. I really like how Niles changes after marriage, wanting to shape up in order to be a good example for Nina and to help teach her to do what is right and avoid some of the difficulties he faced. He has some good character development. However, with a wife like Peri, he’s got his work cut out for him...
In the Japanese version of the game, Peri speaks in the third person, so I tried to preserve that as much as I could.
Peri: “Nina, tell me more of that story. Peri was enjoying it!”
(T/N: They seem to be talking about one of Nina’s spur-of-the-moment fantasies, something she made up upon seeing two men at a meat stand in town. )
Nina: “Oh, really? I’m glad that it seems I have company. …So, it was this one, right? About those two men at the stand. …They have feelings for each other. But right now they’re in a situation where they can’t tell it to the other. So, the muscular man tries his hardest and calls the beautiful man outside of his reach to come to the festival with him…”
Peri: “Yeah. And the two of them sit on the grounds of the shrine, eating their grilled chicken on a stick. And then suddenly, one of them is unable to stop his movement.”
Nina: “Wow, Mom, you’re getting into it, too! So, what happens?”
Peri: “The muscular one looks at the delicate man…And then he goes, ‘ey!’”
(T/N: “Ey!” is Peri’s sound effect for stabbing someone. It was translated into English in a variety of ways, but here I’m leaving it as the original “ey!”)
Nina: “Ey!’? I‘d like to know more about this! The rest of this story sounds like it will be positively stimulating!”
Peri: “Nope, there’s no deep meaning. ‘Ey!’ is ‘ey!’”
Nina: “Hmmm… Do you mean it’s some kind of secret jargon? Mom, you’re surprisingly good at this!”
Peri: “Well, the thin macho guy goes ‘ey!’, and the weak nerdy guy goes ‘ugh…’”
Nina: “Nice… Nice…! Then the delicate man gets back up, and says softly, ‘I always wanted it to be this way…’”
Peri: “Huh? That’s not right. The delicate man just went ‘ugh…’ so he’s not alive anymore.”
Nina: “…Oh? What do you mean?”
Peri: “The muscular man said “ey!” and stabbed the delicate man in the heart with the skewer he ate the chicken off of! So he went ‘ugh…’ and died. The delicate man must’ve done something bad to make others hate him!”
Nina: “Wait a sec, wait a sec! That’s too sad! That did NOT happen! …B-but… That still feels kind of good. Is this Mom’s genes? [lit: Mom’s blood]
Aaaah no! I am TOTALLY confused! No, Nina! That’s Mom’s dark world!
It’s a world you should never dare to enter!!”
Peri: “What are you talking about? I think that Nina’s world is the one that regular people shouldn’t ever go in to.”
Nina: “…Grr…I have nothing to say to that…
Mom, you’re pretty sharp… Aah, this isn’t the time to be talking like this… I need to get my head out of Mom’s dark world! I’m going back to the battle. If I go ‘ey!’ to the bandits, and make them go ‘ugh…’ that should clear my head!”
Peri: “Hehehe, that sounds good to me. See you later, Nina!”
....Yeeeeeah, remind me to never cross these two on a bad day, mmkay?
