(SFX: dodoon) Natsu: Is that what you say? Well then, who's going to play that stupid game?! /Ah-- I refuse! Eri: (just like always)
2 Ku: Natsu, the truth is // you understand, don't you? / Shiba-chi loves that game, Ku: so she wants to play it with the friends that she also loves. That's why she brought it for us. Ku: But you're thinking there's loads of other stuff you want to do with Shibachi and everybody // besides playing that game. Natsu: ... dang it
3 Natsu: If all we ever did was play that game... /That'd be pretty sad, if all the memories we have of high school together are just of playing that game. Ku: Yeah, you're right // but... Ku: The more you refuse it, the more it seems like you're just being stubborn / Isn't that what you're doing, Natsu? Ku: Let's play the game, too, just a little bit. / And then, we can also get Shiba-chi to come do other stuff with us.
4 Natsu: Okay. But / what should I do? I refused to take the disk... Ku: That's alright / I thought it might be useful, so I went ahead and kept it for you. / After this, I'll bring the MGP (Micro Game Player) over to your house, Natsu. Ku: Micro Game Player MMORPG / Apocalypse Online Ku: I called Shiba-chi and told her that we're going to make our characters and log in. Natsu: Ah... On the screen: Installing

Text: What? // Natsu and I are...!? // Mar...ried...!!?
15 Shiba-chi: Um... in that case / Let's change our plans / and analyze that rare item right now! Shiba-chi: It seems like the closer you are to each other, the more the marriage effect goes up. / You two, get closer together Eri:(You change pages quickly) Shiba-chi: (It's because Elves are really fast!) Shiba-chi: Oh... // By the light, you can tell how strong the rings' effects are.
16 SFX: doki Shiba-chi: You face each other, when you get close together. It looks so realistic, even up to the expression on your face. / It's really well done... (keep up the good work, graphics designers--) // (Hoooo) Shiba-chi: What's more, if you sit down when you're like that, your recovery rate goes up // Press the L and R buttons at the same time Ku: Really well done, she said... // This is too well done ... // It's like we're actually there SFX: doki doki

Box: Reality Mom: (Change your clothes, too // Stop playing that game ) Shibachi: (Ah!! But we're still at a good part) Shibachi: I'm going to have to disband us here for today, but... Eri: We've been neglecting our homework anyhow, right? Shiba-chi: So, let's close it here? (you hit the nail on the head...) Everyone?
20 Shiba-chi: Sorry for today // Even though I invited you so selfishly, you kept such a good atmosphere for hanging out. / Thank You. Shiba-chi: Since this made me really happy / I think that I would like for us to do something together that all of you want to do, as well. Shiba-chi: Therefore / If you guys don't think you want to play again tomorrow, we could put the game aside for now. (Note: working on understanding last clause) Eri: Even though your eyes are so dazzled by their rare item! This is a surprise! (Rain tomorrow?) Shibachi: Silence, dog Shibachi: What do you think, Eri? Eri: I don't really care either way Shibachi: Then, Matsubara-chan? Ku: Huh? / Ah...
21 Ku: Hey / Hey / Natsu what do you... Ku: .. think we should do? Text: Ah, that's right / I'm the only one being affected by these graphics / It's like this for me, but for her...
22 Text: It's not a reason for Natsu to want to continue to play the game... Ku: Either way is fine by me, too / I leave it to you, Natsu Natsu: OK / In that case... Natsu: Let's continue // playing the game!!

Natsu: Ku??
26 Natsu: Huh?! // Ah... / Ah!!! // That's right, what I said earlier
27 Natsu: It's not really true, I know, that we love each other / That’s.. // really just a thing in the game. Natsu: There's no way it could be real, ya know? Marrying each other, Ku... Natsu: If you don't like it... / I mean, as long as it doesn't bother you, then I'm fine with it.

[SFX: kopopo (water boiling)] Masaki: But, you know, not having a window tonight kind of sucks (and is also gonna hurt my wallet) // Next time you come over, come in peacefully through the front door... Shinigami: Why... Masaki: Huh? Shinigami: Why don't you ask any questions?
8 Shinigami: Don't you want to know? Masaki: ...That is / I want to know, but... Masaki: I don't want to force you to answer questions... Shinigami: It's best // if you don't know about me / Coming here was an accident, after all / ... I've already been too rude
9 Masaki: Wait Shinigami: ...Please let go of me // Do you want to die? Masaki: That is... I don't want to die, but... Masaki: You're being chased, aren't you? / I can't let you go out alone like that
10 Masaki: Besides, you said it yourself / The one who kills me will be you Masaki: If you leave here now / what do you think will happen to the witness of tonight's incident?

15 Shinigami: Are humans accustomed to being so unguarded ? [SFX: puchi -] Shinigami: I can't believe you're changing clothes right in front of another person Masaki: Is there something weird about it? Masaki: Hinageshi / You say such difficult things, I thought you were a completely cold and blunt person, but.. // At heart, you're just a normal girl.
16 Masaki: Anyhow, now shouldn't you say // "It's embarrassing to undress in front of people"? Masaki: You are so cute // Truly Masaki: ...Alright // Shall we do something even more awesome?! Shinigami: Um / Wait...
17 Masaki: ... or perhaps I should say, speaking honestly // My life is also pretty tough Masaki: So, if we showered together, it would save a bit on my utility costs... Shinigami: No. Masaki: ...darn Masaki: ... sorry Masaki: Hinageshi, the way you are now Masaki: You were so cute when I teased you a bit / ...yeah, I think // it would be best if you kept acting like a girl, just like that
18 Masaki: It's alright // There's no one here but me, after all Masaki: Wouldn't it be good / to take the weight off your shoulders? Masaki: ...Hey you, are you even listening to me? Shinigami: It's my daily routine
19 Shinigami: Have you forgotten? // That I said I'm being chased Masaki: And.. // my words that day Text:---because killing you // is my responsibility --- Masaki: ... are you kidding? / There's no way I'd forget that Masaki: In that case, I also have something I want to ask // Hinageshi
20 Masaki: Why / don't you kill me? Masaki: That first time, also, why did you let me go after I'd seen your "job"? Shingami: Just a whim Masaki: Really? Masaki: You said you're being chased // It's my fault, isn't it?
21 Masaki: That night, when you didn't kill me// you killed your ally Hinageshi: ...It wasn't for your benefit Hinageshi: When I saw you / I experienced a very baffling feeling Hinageshi: It was the first time // I was uneasy Hinageshi: ...and that's why // Until I can figure that out, I'm declaring a moratorium on killing you
22 Masaki: ...Is that so // Well then, there's just one thing I can do Masaki: I can make killing me even more difficult for you // Hinageshi, I love you Hinageshi: Such terrible vanity Masaki: Oh yeah? Hinageshi: ...enough already// I'll also do as I please
23 Masaki: ...yeah... / sorry, I'm going to sleep for a bit // I've somehow... / gotten exhausted... Hinageshi: You, also // didn't sleep a wink, did you? Hinageshi: You idiot
24 Text: This is such a discomforting place // The sensation of becoming someone I'm not is very unpleasant
25 Text: Even so // It's also awfully cozy Masaki: Hinageshi Masaki: That "routine" hasn't gone away, huh? Masaki: I think everything else about you has mellowed out a lot, but... Hinageshi: It's because this is proof that I'm still me // If I were to stop this, I ... Masaki: It'd be fine
26 Masaki: If the you who kills people disappears // as long as the Hinageshi that's here right now stays here Masaki: ... hey, is that more fun? // than living normally here / You never look like you're having fun

Assassin: Hinageshi // You're a top-ranking assassin. Are you not thinking of your job?
18 Assassin: Relax, I'm not going to report on you. // It would be rough if our "sister" knew Shinigami: As you wish / I don't particularly care... / Is that all? Assassin: That's good / So you can do your job // with no reservations Shinigami: That girl... where do you think she is now? Assassin: Surely where she always is / Looking for you.
19 Assassin: It's dangerous, don't you think, at this time of night // for a girl to go out walking alone // She might become involved in an unfortunate incident Shinigami: And what of it?

26 Masaki: ... yeah Masaki: I've been rescued... again // in the end Shinigami: Please don't misunderstand me. / I saved you because It's my responsibility to kill you, since you have seen my work. // Troublesome person, whoever you are--- Masaki: Masaki
27 Masaki: My name is Kanogawa Masaki // But the reason doesn't matter, right? / It doesn't change the fact that you saved me. Masaki: ..Hey / Could we / possibly meet again...?
28 Shinigami: ...Kanogawa... // ...Masaki... Text: The thing that this meeting reveals is...
