Higan:”Hey, if it isn’t the angel Licht-kun. Being sorted into a team like this somehow fires me up.”
Licht:”Shut up, demon. This time, I’ll purify you.”
With Tsubaki
Higan:”Tsubaki~ I did the washing again with my cell phone in my pocket... Sham will get mad at me, could you maybe come up with an excuse...?”
Tsubaki:”Ehhh~, Higan, again?! Even with my vocabulary, there’s a limit to how many excuses why your phone broke I can make...!” *
With Sakuya
Higan:”Oh, Sakuya. Don’t you want to go eat with this old man occasionally?”
Sakuya:”Ah, no thanks. I got plans.”
Higan:”S-So cold... This old man’s hurt...”
With Belkia
Higan:”Ah, Belki--”
Belkia:”Gehhhh~~~ It’s Higan! You smell more and more like old man, you know?!”
Higan:”I wonder if all the children here are going through puberty... They’re pretty strong at hitting this old man, though...”
With Otogiri
Higan:”Otogiri, do you know where my lighter is? I’d like to smoke, but...”
Otogiri:”I don’t, but if you want to smoke, please smoke outside. The smell clings everywhere.”
Higan:”Ehh~... It’s a bit cold outside today... You’re making this old man feel bad...” *
With Shamrock
Shamrock:”Hey, Higan!!! Don’t leave the empty box with your cigarette butts lying around!!! What if the young master mistook it for something and drank from it!!!”
Higan:”Eh? Oh my~ Sorry, sorry. I’ll be careful next time~ ... But, even Tsubaki wouldn’t be that stupid...”
Shamrock:”No matter how often you said it, you still haven’t fixed it!!! Quit smoking, now!!! Our hideout is now a complete no smoking zone!!!!”
Higan:”Ah, huh~ If you put up large posters like that... Could you at least split it into smoking and non-smoking areas...”
With Shuuhei
Higan:”Hello, uhmm... Shuuhei Tsuyuki-kun? You look a lot like your fathe~.”
With Tsurugi
Higan:”... Hey, didn’t we meet somewhere, long ago? I feel like I recognize you from somewhere.”
Tsurugi:”... Haha, I wonder~? Maybe so, we might have met.”
Full Melancholy Team
Higan:”Oh my, four of us have gathered. Should we play some mahjong?”
---------------
T/N: So, in the Tsubaki & Higan dialog, Higan literally asks Tsubaki to “cheat well” or “gloss over” it, but that seems to mean “Tell Sham some good reason that’s not ‘I washed it’“ lmao. And Tsubaki’s answer is literally “there’s a limit to the amount of variations of an excuse for why the phone broke”, but that felt a bit redundant lmao. Also, Higan, pls. Check your pockets. I’ve washed money before, I think once or twice a DS cartridge, but...
Otogiri technically just says “The smell stays” or “the smell clings”, but while that sounded fine in Japanese, I felt like it was missing something in English. Higan’s last line in that dialog is literally just “Uncle feels inferior”, but I figured it’s because Otogiri sends him out when it’s cold (I’m on her side).
Also, he still uses “old man”/”uncle” for “I” a few times more often than I translated bc it sounded weird to me to let him say it Every. Single. Time.
I went on Tanaka Box to play Hyde’s bday game and I realized that Mikuni’s shop is missing. I wonder if it’s going to be updated with a new design. I don’t think it will be replaced since Nod is important and connected to Mikuni.
Fun fact: There’s a Bad End for the Gear Event on Tanaka Box. If you get it, Gear’s affection drops to 0 and he literally just. Stares at you silently. And endless stream of just.
[ID: A screenshot from Tanaka Box’s Gear event. It shows Youtarou and Gear; there’s a dialog box indicating Gear is speaking, but it’s only showing ellipses. Below, it shows that the ingame time is 11PM, Youtarou’s energy is filled to the max, and Gear’s affection is at zero. End ID]
(Idk if it’s endless but after clicking like 20 times I decided it was lmao.)
You do however need to actively try to get this, because you need to get to 11PM without finding the fork and the cook book, which means you have to repeatedly rest while refusing to give Gear any food.
Shamrock is such a mom friend..... Momrock........
With Tsubaki
Shamrock:”Young master. I’m terribly thankful to lead a team that includes the young master, but... I shall serve you with all my strength.”
Tsubaki:”Ehh~ So stiff~ We’re playing today, so let’s do this with light hearts. Okay, Sham?”
With Sakuya
Shamrock:”Hey, Sakuya Watanuki. I brushed your plushie for you.”
Sakuya:”Huh... Tsubaki-sa... Well, it’s not Tsubaki-san, but the fox that looks like Tsubaki-san... Its fur is so glossy... It looks even more like him, doesn’t it...?”
With Belkia
Shamrock:”... Belkia! Pay attention. You always get distracted near the end.” *
Belkia:”Huuuuuh~~~???!!! ★☆★ Who are you talking tooo?!!!!”
With Otogiri
Shamrock:”... Lady Otogiri. I’d like to learn how to make soba today...”
Otogiri:”... All right. First is running and weight training. If your muscles are not trained to perfection, you will never make perfect soba.”
With Higan
Shamrock:”... Higan. Well... I... ... ...”
Higan:”Yeah, don’t overdo it. Might be good if you stayed over there.”
With Shuuhei
Shamrock:”... Shuuhei. You look pale, did you have breakfast before coming here? Even if you don’t have time to eat properly, you should have something, no matter what, like soup. We’d be in trouble if you don’t stay healthy.”
Shuuheit:”Wh... What?! The reason you’re saying things like that...! Please stop acting like my parent!”
With Toma
Toma:”............”
Shamrock: (He got huge, didn’t he...? No, he’s always been big, I guess...)
With Yoshimasa
Shamrock:”.......... ... I didn’t think the day would come when I would meet you like this... What should I say...”
Yoshimasa:”Yeah, for real! Maybe this magical-seeming day is April Fool’s! Haha!”
With Shuuhei & Yoshimasa
Shamrock:”......... This... Feels weird...”
Yoshimasa:”Ohhhh, I dreamed about talking, the three of us together like this! Today is a great day, isn’t it?”
Shuuhei:”W-Well, how should I put this... It’s... I have mixed feelings...” *
Full Melancholy Team
Shamrock:”Four people have gathered, haven’t they? At this point, it would be normal for Team Melancholy to start a game of Mahjongg...”
----------------------
TN: The words Sham uses with Bel are “tsume ga amai”, tsume meaning (among other things) the last few moves when playing Shogi, though it’s apparently used for losing focus etc near the end of stuff in general.
And the word Shuuhei uses, which I put as “mixed feelings”, also means complicated, so his line could’ve also been translated as “It’s complicated”. Love how Sham and Shuuhei are like “Wtf is going on??” while Yoshimasa is just vibing.
Also, with most of Team Melancholy, Shamrock uses “kisama”, which is like, SUPER rude in current day Japanese (hence why, when Misono uses it, it’s often translated as Bastard). Tsubaki is, of course, Young Master, but I love how polite he is with Otogiri. That’s a gentleman right there lmao. Also, what I’m gathering from their dialogue is that Otogiri is ripped af so she can make her own soba.
Wow I often forget how great Yoshimasa is bc like... He did not get much focus... But then I look at this and. I love him lmao. I want him back, idk how that’d work, but he’s fun.
Someone who talks with Jeje!!! Stars, as usual, indicate Notes at the end ^^
Lily x4
Lily:”Oh? The whole party is me? I’m not sure where I should look...”
With Misono
Lily:”Misono, it’s the same as always, but I’ll look forward to working with you. Well then, shall we finally take off?” *
With Mikuni
Lily:”Oh, a team with Mikuni-san? Haha, let us be so free to motivate each other.” *
With Jeje
Lily:”Ah, Jeje. How have you been lately? Are you getting along well with Mikuni-san?”
Jeje:”…………………………”
Lily:”I see, it seems like you’re getting along, which is the most important thing.”
Jeje:”......... Don’t just interpret it how you want...... I didn’t say anything like that.........”
With Tetsu
Lily:”Tetsu-kun, thank you for always getting along with Misono. Please continue to do so.”
With Belkia
Lily:”Oh my, it’s been a while. Your hair has fully grown back by now, hasn’t it?”
With Otogiri
Lily:”Nice to see you again, you look beautiful. Thank you for your effort in the movie. It’s already been a year since then, hasn’t it? How time flies.” *
With Freya
Lily:“*panicked scream* ......?!! Wh-Why are you here.........!!”
With Dodo
Lily:”Dodo-san, isn’t it soon time to pick up Misono?”
With Yuly & Mary
Lily:”Yuly, Mary, please don’t go too far away from my side.”
With Kuro, Jeje, and Hugh
Lily:”This lineup is somewhat nostalgic.”
Swimwear Theme Team
Lily:”It’s summer! We’re wearing swimsuits! It’s a swimming competition filled with vampires! ............ So, let’s really take our clothes off~” *
T/N: With both Misono, Mikuni, and in the Swimwear Team, Lily’s words are the ones he always uses when he starts to strip - It literally means “bare one’s skin”, but it also means helping someone, so I tried matching it with something that can refer to both stripping and uh, something that’s not stripping. For Swimwear in particular, Lily says “Let’s [hadanugu] in the literal sense”, but “take off” doesn’t literally mean taking off clothes by itself, so I added “our clothes” to show that this time, Lily is not being ambiguous lmao
Also he’s trying to be a good bro to Jeje and he’s so protective of Misono and the twins I love him T_T
With Otogiri, he literally says “Hello, lovely lady”, but that sounded... kinda creepy in English (while in Japanese, Lily always speaks very politely. 10/10, being in his presence makes you feel Very Respected.), so I tried to alter is a bit to keep the flirty/compliment part without making him into a creep. Also, that fourth wall break with Otogiri lmao.
I had most of this lying in my drafts for ages. Just waiting until I finally pulled Dodo.
