Episode 1: Perched on His Shoulder (肩に乗ってる)
| ENGLISH | JAPANESE | |
|---|---|---|
 |
(Who's that? Don't think I've seen that one around before. They look interesting, though, so I'll try talkin' to them.) | なんだ？ 見たことないやつだな おもしろそうだし ちょっと話してみるか |
|
Hey, you! | おい お前！ |
 |
What is it? | なんだい？ |
|
I'm not talking to you! I'm talking to the thing on your shoulder. | お前じゃなくて その肩に乗ってるやつだよ |
|
...?! You... you can see her? | ・・・！？ キミは・・・ コイツが見えるのか？ |
|
Huh? What're you talking about? Why wouldn't I be able to see- | はぁ? なに言ってんだ お前 見えるもなにも・・・ |
|
There's too many people here. Let's keep talking in that classroom. | ここは人が多い そこの教室に入ろう |
Episode 2: He Doesn't Play Anymore (もう弾かない)
(Since Schall's name wasn't revealed at this point, nor was she playable at all in Lapistoria, she doesn't have a nametag. However, the tail of the text bubble points to her instead of Takuto whenever she speaks.)| ENGLISH | JAPANESE | |
|---|---|---|
|
So... why're you clinging to this guy like this? | それで なんでお前 コイツにひっついてんだ？ |
 |
I want Takuto to play the piano for me so that I can grow bigger and bigger. | タクトにピアノを弾いて欲しいの それで どんどん大きくなりたいの |
|
Takuto, eh... are you in a creative slump or something? | タクト・・・って ひっつかれてるお前だよな？ |
|
...I don't play the piano anymore...! | ・・・僕はもう ピアノは弾かない・・・！ |
|
Huh? Why not? Isn't it a good thing that you're able to play at all? | えー なんでだよ ピアノ弾くくらいいーじゃんか |
|
Right, there was a time where you'd play every day, if you remember... | そうだよ 昔は毎日弾いていたのに・・・ |
 |
I... don't have the talent to keep playing... | 僕には・・・ 才能がないんだ・・・ |
Episode 3: Talent (才能)
| ENGLISH | JAPANESE | |
|---|---|---|
|
You see... whenever I played, it was usually when this little one was possessing me... | そう・・・ コイツにとりつかれて 弾いてからだ・・・ |
|
My teacher praised me often and I was able to win a prize in a competition, but not through my own skill. All of it was because of her... | 先生にも誉められたし コンクールで入賞もした だけどそれ僕の実力じゃないんだ・・・ |
|
I was really desperate to hear Takuto play the piano... desperate enough to possess him... | タクトにどうしても ピアノを弾いて欲しくて それで・・・ とりついて・・・ |
|
And in reality... I have no talent at all... | 本当の僕は・・・ 才能なんてない・・・ |
|
So what, then? Do you hate the piano now? | なんだよー じゃあもうピアノ嫌いなのか？ |
|
That's not it at all! I do still love the piano... even now, I want to play it, but... | 嫌いなもんか！ ピアノは好きだよ・・・ 今だって・・・弾きたいよ・・・ |
|
You don't make any sense. Why don't you just keep playing whatever you want, then? Your talent shouldn't have to matter! | なーんだ だったら才能とか関係なく 好きに弾いたらいーじゃねーか |
Final Episode: A Kind Demon (優しいアクマ)
| ENGLISH | JAPANESE | |
|---|---|---|
|
That's right... I was never playing the piano for anyone's approval... | そう・・・だ 僕は誰かに認めてもらいたくて ピアノを弾いている わけじゃなかったんだ・・・ |
|
I'm so sorry... if I knew you had these troubles, then... | ごめんなさい そんな悩みがあったなんて・・・ |
|
No, it's okay. I was just overthinking it all. In the end, all I had to do was play the piano however I liked. | いや いいんだ 僕が考え過ぎていただけ 僕はただ好きなようにピアノを 弾くだけで良かったんだ |
|
Thank you... Because of you, Takuto's finally motivated to play the piano again. You're a very kind demon! | ありがとう おかげでタクトが またピアノを弾いてくれそうだよ アクマのに優しいんだね |
|
*gasp!* I-it's not like I care about you or your piano! Because I don't!!! | はっ！ べっ・・・べっつにー お前のピアノなんて きょーみねーからー！ |
|
Ah, there he goes... | あっ 行っちゃった・・・ |
 |
A kind demon, and kinda funny too... Well, c'mon! Let's go play some piano now! | おもしろいアクマだったね さあ！ 早くピアノを弾こう！ |
|
Yeah! Let's do it! | うん！ そうしよう！ |
