I've found a translation I paid for back in 2018. I'm so glad! I was so sure I lost this...

Right… Gathering information is the first step to completing every quest.
Without that information, we won’t know which enemies to defeat or which items to look for.
Well… I think you know much more about it than I do. That’s because you’re a player in this game.
Ah… But you… Didn’t you start by battling those low-level monsters in the starter dungeons so you could raise the level of your main party and earn resources, instead of gathering information and progressing through the story?
That brings back memories.
[01:01]
No, it’s nothing at all. I was just talking to myself.
Why don’t we start by going to the nearest town or village and talking to the people there?
The village where I grew up just happens to be beyond this forest. We might be able to find out something if we go there. My house is there too.
There are poisonous monsters all over this forest, but it’ll be fine. We’ve got plenty of antidotes, you see! Feel free to use as many as you like.
We’re just going to end up giving them away to people we talk to anyway.
I don’t have a magnificent sword like the hero and the knight do. I can’t cast powerful magic like the magician or the priest either.
[02:03]
I’ll definitely protect you though. In the way that I can. So don’t worry.
Come on! If we don’t hurry, it’ll be dark by the time we get there. Let’s go.
Ah… It’s nice to come back to your own place when you’ve been away for a while.
It feels really relaxing. Dinner is already prepared too.
Come and sit at this table.
I wish I could offer you more than this, but I’m just a villager. I’m sorry that this is all I can do.
[03:03]
Even so, I’ve put all my heart into preparing it! Eat up!
I hope you’ll like it…
Ah! Thank goodness! It seems that you like it!
Eat as much as you like, okay?
Thanks to you, I was able to finish clearing up right away. Thank you very much.
You just yawned. Are you already tired?
Well… You lost some of your hit points quite a few times today.
Your tiredness must have built up over the past few days too.
[04:02]
We’ve got to work hard again starting tomorrow. Let’s have an early night.
The room at the end of the hall is the guest room. Please sleep there tonight.
I’ll be sleeping in the room opposite yours, so let me know if you need anything.
Goodnight then.
This was at a castle town in the east… And this is… Now I remember! The village in the sky…
This brings back memories… Ah…
Even after she had beaten the boss, she would still make the whole party wander around a dungeon for the sake of experience points…
[05:07]
Even when an opponent could be defeated with a single strike, she would put the whole party except for the thief on defence so that she could steal from that opponent.
She did that more times than I can even count.
If a monster was going to be defeated before she had a chance to steal from it, then she’d go as far as keeping it alive by recovering its HP.
The monsters looked hopeless, with their health bars at yellow, as the battles were kept going for the sake of finding rare items.
I’ve been watching you for a long time…
But no matter how many times I called out to you… No matter how closely I looked at you… No matter how many times I brought impossibly rare items to all the different towns… You didn’t notice me at all…
[06:15]
I’ve wished so hard to meet her! It’s finally come true!
Now I can talk to her freely, without being restricted by the text formatting, game progress and character settings!
I can tell her anything…
Hmm? What are you doing here?
So you heard everything, didn’t you?
There’s nothing I can do about that then.
Shall we go somewhere else first?
[07:15]
I’m glad I could make use of a bug to turn this basement into an underground prison, since I had a feeling something like this might happen.
Oh no… Why are you attacking me?
It’s really difficult for me to say this, but even if you attack with all your strength, it’s not going to work at all. This kind of damage is nothing compared to my total HP.
Don’t you understand this feeling better than I do?
Judging by how you’ve played RPGs up until now…
Hmm… It wouldn’t have any effect on me, but if you got desperate and used a sacrificial move, that’d be somewhat troublesome.
[08:13]
So just behave yourself and hold onto me.
It’s no good. Those handcuffs and shackles are made from orichalcum.
They won’t come off without the key, even if a dragon breathes fire on them all day.
You know that too, don’t you?
You collected a lot of orichalcum to upgrade the hero’s armour into its final form, didn’t you?
Right… You were having so much trouble finding orichalcum that you were going to leave the game unfinished. I couldn’t just ignore that, so I gave you a few pieces.
Don’t you remember?
[09:04]
I’m sure that it was beside the well in a village at the foot of a mountain.
Even though you fought all the low-level monsters, you couldn’t find a single piece. You were annoyed about getting it from an NPC so easily.
It was unavoidable. It hadn’t been planned from the very beginning. It was a minor bug that I created.
I was always watching you. I said this during the day, didn’t I? I’ll definitely protect you. In the way that I can.
I followed you, wanting you to notice me. I always helped you at every village and town that you went to. I tried to protect you.
[10:12]
But no matter how hard I tried, you didn’t notice me.
I was nothing more than an NPC to you. Things are different now though.
You look at me. You talk to me. I’m not just one person among many others.
I can kiss you like this too.
[11:07]
I’ve done it. I’ve done it. Now you’re mine.
I don’t need anything else if you’re with me. You were the only thing I wanted.
As long as you’re here, it doesn’t matter if no one else plays this game. I don’t mind if the game itself disappears from the world. I’d actually want that to happen.
[12:10]
I’ll create a fatal bug that deletes all the other characters. Let’s get rid of everyone else and make this a world for just the two of us. Okay?
In this world, the only things that exist will be this underground prison and the two of us. That’s when we’ll show our love for each other.
We’ll never be apart. Not even for a moment.
Well? Don’t you think that’s wonderful?
[13:00]
I’ll create another bug so I can give you anything you want.
That’s right. Just like the orichalcum.
I’m the only one in this world who can love a woman like you.
Oh my godddd thank you for paying for the translation and posting it, thank you yumegasaki for translating. I haven’t read it yet but it’s my holy grail.
I also paid for a translation for the extra voice lines in the first game. I need to actually get off my ass and post them one day.
I've always been curious about the extra voice lines myself, though the farthest I've ever gotten was using a voice-to-text thingy and then putting that text into DeepL/Google Translate to try to get a feel for what they might be saying.

Dot Kare blog updated today with the announcement that the *special* AGF buttons of the dotkare guys wearing figleaves are now for sale in the SKiT Dolce online store.
AND. WAIT FOR IT.
It also looks like they’re doing another Twitter-type campaign. It’s a… patch? To be added to existing game files? THAT POPULATES YOUR GAME SCREEN WITH PANTSU-CLAD CHARAS???
It seems they’re asking for 999 retweets of the official Rejet announcement msg on Twitter between November 15, 2013 18:00-21:00 (jpn) and then they’ll make the “bug file patch” available?? Do I understand this correctly??
(Bless @rpgnpc for their original post here, I couldn’t get it out of my head until I drew it)
[Image description: Fanart of the otome game series Dot Kareshi. The Villager, a short, slight young man with light skin, gray-brown eyes, and short silver hair, wears a light tunic, white undershirt, brown waist tie, light blue cropped pants, and brown slip-on shoes. He stands on a pixellated forest path, posture straight with his hands clasped in front of him, looking at the viewer. In a video game-esque text box with pixel text, he says, “You know I had to do it to ‘em.”]
Well, the Dot Kareshi blog posted the sample art/page for the series in the Rejet Calendar that was just announced! Dot Kareshi got DECEMBER! And we have our Hero with the Devil King! Looks like the calendar is going to be special artwork!? I haven’t been keeping up with Dot Kareshi’s blog so I don’t know if this new artwork or not;;; Either way, it looks great! I’m pleased with my birthday month for now… wish it was Yamazaki from Wasurenagusa though //cough//
