Aw, poo poo. So, what, Mai is a robot with human hands and our boy Q-Taro is a human with robot hands?

I mean... if his arms and legs were that hosed up, are robotic prosthetics REALLY that unbelievable considering the other poo poo we've seen? I'm just trying to remember if he was in a situation before this that would/should have injured his limbs but didn't.

Well, remember what Komaeda said about the majority rule for deciding what is a human and a doll. All Q-Taro has to be is 51% doll and he'd be considered a doll by the rules. So he could still have a human torso and whatnot.

"...What do you... mean?"

I don't get what's going on at all...




"A doll...?"

"Keiji... you look bewildered yerself."

"Honestly... yeah."

"Because I just did what he expected I'd do..."



"Right..."



"Keiji went to Floor 5... and we went to the cemetery..."

"Why... did you go back there...?"

"The truth is... I was at my limit..."









"I'm sorry... Seems... it's too late for me..."

"Is that what Safalin told you?! I don't want this!! It's... because of me...!!"

"Don't cry... There's no time... What you need to do is..."

"I can't do it alone!! Without you, Q-taro...!!"

"Ya won't... be alone..."







"That's ridiculous!! Please...!

"Now get goin'...! Mai!!"

"I... It can't be...! Then... inside coffin #7 was...!!"





"What was he thinkin'..."

"Gin... Kurumada... You got out?"



"I'm sorry..."













"Sara... Kanna... You gotta protect 'em, right...?"



"Waaaaahhh...!! Sniff... but...!!"



"I couldn't tell him anything...!! I..."

"… No, he knew... I may just be a copy, but..."



"What're you saying...?! You can't...!!"

"… My good fortune... Was my heart bein' weak..."




"Even so... I couldn't... It wasn't kindness or anything... It just yielded. That part of me that wanted to survive even if it meant killin' someone else..."

"Sniff... waahhh.."

"So... I'm happy..."



"Muscle gorilla...?! What's wrong?! Muscle gorilla! Mr. Q-taro!!"

Music stops.



"Mr. Q-taro!!!! Mr. Q-tarooooo...!!!!"

  • It is possible for Mai or Hayasaka to "survive" instead of Kurumada (Anzu, Hinako and Ranmaru will always be drilled during the banquet), I'll cover Mai and Hayasaka in the next update.

He didn't actually use Mishima's collar, he tried to use Komaeda's collar but Q-taro swapped it out for himself after Keiji left.

Right, that's what I thought happened, and why Meister was going to kill him for cheating. But he suddenly stopped caring about it mid-conversation, so...

Oh, I see. Okay. So Mishima's collar never went into the pod at all, Q-taro just climbed in himself because he was already bleeding out?

I THINK that the collar was also in the coffin when Q-Taro died in it, so while Keiji technically cheated, there WAS actually an active player's collar in the coffin as well, so it would have shown blue without Keiji's interference. So even though he meant to cheat, no cheating actually happened, so no punishment was issued.

  • If you select the coffin that you used a hint on in the first round, you're locked into Kurumada surviving. No matter which coffin you use a hint on, Hayasaka will always be in it.







  • Select any other glowing coffin aside from the one that you used the hint on, and you'll always hit Kurumada.



"Too bad! You hit Kurumada!"

"Say what...?!"

"W-What's going on...?!"

"Please, respond! Kurumada...!!"

"That isn't true, right?! In just an instant...!"

"You tried so hard to survive this long! And yet...!"






  • Like Mai and Kurumada, Hayasaka is willing to sacrifice himself to save Gin and defeat Komaeda.







  • In the second round, Mai will always be in the coffin that you use your second hint on. Unlike in the first round, Sara won't select a coffin that hasn't previously had a hint used on it. You can choose the coffin you used the first hint on to kill Hayasaka and have Mai survive, or choose the coffin you used the second hint on to kill Mai and have Hayasaka survive.

  • If Hayasaka survives:














  • If Mai survives:







  • Hayasaka doesn't ask Sara to protect Gin if he's killed in the first round.















  • I don't know how much of an impact the “survivor” will have on 3-2, but I set up an indefinitely open Strawpoll for the survivor vote here.

So re: the whole whose wish brought Sara thing
My current theory is that the "jou nu atsui" line is a misdirection, and Mr. Policeman's kid is actually Sara.
We know that she's adopted, and her adoptive father is almost certainly Meister.
She could have easily never known Mr. Policeman, or had her memories of him erased.
Furthermore, I think that she was brought here by Keiji's wish. Specifically, he wished to meet Mr. Policeman's kid, and give them the opportunity to kill him.
This is likely the reason Keiji trusts Sara so much, and why he tries so hard to protect her despite his otherwise selfish behavior.

  • Reko's speech to Ranmaru after he removes his hand.
















  • Using the fake ID.








Music stops.









  • Messing up Maple's questions.



"Heehee! Well, shall we have a tea party?"

She began pouring tea into cups.

"Here you go! Can you tell what this is by the smell? Heehee..."



"That's not it. Did you want a caffe latte? Sorry, Sara..."

"S... Sara! It's clearly not a caffe latte! Answer seriously here...!"

(Guess my plan to soften the mood failed...)

"Hey, hey, I had a question for you two... Have you gotten friendly with each other? I'll be happy if you have..."



"At this point, I can't really talk about the relationship we have..."

"Bfffhh!!"

"Ranmaru, you spat it out... Do you hate tea...?"

"N-No! It's my, organs, y'know... They shorted out..."

(Ngh! And we were having a good chat, too...!)

"W... Was that my fault?"

"You're both acting a little strange... You seem nervous, like you want to talk to me about something. Am I wrong?"



"...Haha, it's nothing. Don't be so on edge."

"Oh, Sara, I don't want us to keep secrets. I'm just worried... I feel a wall between us..."

"H-Hold on...! There's no wall at all!"

"Hey, could it be you two... Want to ask about Hiyori...?"



"No... I'd rather not..."

"The hell are you saying, Sara?! Tell us, Maple...!"

"I really like Hiyori... I'm in love with him. But Hiyori doesn't like me yet. But we're getting closer, little by little. Heehee."



"You've got terrible taste."

"How awful, Sara... Some things just aren't right to say..."

(Shoot...! I just said it without thinking!!)



"I suppose that's true... Thank you, Ranmaru."

"I'm the only one who gets Hiyori... Kind Hiyori, who gave me that letter..."

(Letter...)



"Let me rip that letter to shreds...!"

"If you did that, I wouldn't forgive even you, Sara."

"Ha... haha... Sara really loves to joke around...Haha..."

(Get a grip, Ranmaru! A followup like that won't convince her...!)

"Oh, so it was a joke. Still, Sara, don't joke like that."

  • Losing the battle against Maple.






"There's a sweet smell all around here, meow..."

"But that means my nose is no use, meow!"

(The perfume's getting in the way...?!)




"Hmm... This situation is a real handful. She's lost control of her emotions..."

"Even if she's a doll like us, her offensive capabilities are entirely different."

"Without some kind of instruction manual... She'd never be brought to market, I'm sure."

(An instruction manual...)






"Gwohh! Whenever I move, the pain in my back...!"

Q-taro fell over from the pain.

"Poor thing, poor thing... You're going to make me sad..."

Maple's happiness disappeared.

"Muscle gorillaaa!! You okay, meow?!"

"J-Jes' fine...! Don't worry, Gin...!!"

"Sheesh... If you want to sacrifice yourself that bad, I won't stop you."

"Got no intention of doin' that... or sacrificin' anybody else, either...!"

"Just rest! We don't need brute strength right now. So keep your stamina up, Q-taro."

"Sorry... everybody..."




"What's wrong? Are you bored? Am I... boring...?"

Maple's happiness disappeared.

"T... That ain't it! I was just listening to you talk happily...!!"

"I'm boring... I'm boring... Reko hates me... she hates me..."

"It ain't like that!! I love ya!! Okay?!"

"This is sounding like a couple's argument..."

"I'm being serious here!! poo poo...!"




"I'm mad right now! Why are you saying such stupid things!?"

Maple's anger increased.

"This is why I didn't wanna crack jokes!!"

"You picked the wrong time to joke around, that's all... Though I mean, the jokes were awful too..."

"Yeah, you're right... It's the timing..."

"This guy just doesn't listen..."




"Sniff... I'm too sad to chat right now... But making Hinako worry makes me sadder..."

Maple's sadness increased.

"Ugh...! What a pain! Don't cry!!"

"Hey, hey! Stop with the scary look, Hinako! C'mon, settle down!"

"Hey! Show that kindness to her, not me!"

  • If Anzu (or Sara, if Anzu was killed earlier) doesn't reconcile with Maple after thirteen rounds...

Music stops.





"Y-Yikes!! We can't...!!"

"Tch! Get a grip, you...!"








  • Return to the control room after trying to return the ID card and finding out the elevators have stopped working.







  • In Kanna's route, Kanna stays with Kurumada, while everyone else tries to return the ID card to Maple, which leads to Kurumada running off with Kanna in pursuit. In Sou's route, Sou sticks with everyone else, so Kurumada remains in the control room. (The Shin AI goes on to explain that there's a charger on the floor that can save Kurumada.)

  • Finding the photo of Reko in the safe in the charging room.















"...C-Creepy as poo poo, man..."

"Let's use this light to look around more, meow!"

Gin switched on the lantern.

Music stops.

"Waaaaaaughhh!!"










Music stops



"Hwaaaaaaahhhhh...!!!!"

"Reko...! What in the world is it?! Reko...!"

"Did I... really meet him...?"

"Huh?"

"I... saw Komaeda..."

"We met in person... and had a talk..."

, "Years ago...!!"

"Big sis Reko..."

"Why'd I forget?! How could I...?!"

"Urgh..."

"Gin... Sorry, but turn that lantern off for me..."

"When I look into that light... my head hurts..."

"R-Right!"

"Is that okay, meow...?"

"Yeah... Thanks..."



"Could these be our “lost memories"...?"

"...Could be."

"I feel like I'm this close to remembering more clearly..."

(What could Reko and Komaeda have possibly talked about...? Maybe... something similar happened to me...?)

  • Operating the charge machine.



"S-Sure."

"...Tch..."

".........."

"Bingo... Sure enough, it seems that device there is a large-scale charger."

"Really...?!"

"And with this manual handy, we should be able to use it."

"You... for real...?"



"Sorry to say, but it seems you'll be saved... Good for you."

  • Komaeda and Reko in the classroom.



"Komaeda...!!"

"Hm? What's wrong?"

"Reko! Please calm down...!"

"I know...! But, look!"

"I gotta ask him about that photo...!"

"Something you want to say?"

, "Yeah... I remembered..."

"I've met you before...! Ain't that right?!"

"This photo! You took it, didn't you?!"



"Ahaha, so you remembered!"



"Before Alice's incident... and..."

"After it, too...! When you should've been dead!!"

"Huh... Strange things do happen!"

"Back then... you made me request of me!"

"...What kind of request?"

, "I... can't remember that yet..."

"But still! That part doesn't matter!!"





"Please calm down...!"

"Ahaha, don't stop her, Miss Sara."

"...I was thinking I'd call upon this."

Music stops.

"Eh...?"





, "W-Waugh?! What was that?!"

"A rocket punch! Cool, isn't it?!"

(H-He's mocking us! But if something like that hits...!!)

"Miss Reko, you're saying that I fabricated my own death..."

"Well then, what am I?"

, "I mean...!"

"Haha..."

Komaeda took the hand out from the wall.

"Just so we're clear, Miss Reko... I'm deeply angry."

"Even I didn't plan for such an incident."

"It made me lose my seat in the Death Game that I was so looking forward to..."

"I'd hoped to kill Alice for that by my own hand."

, "Bastard...!!"

"And also... you haven't properly remembered everything yet."

"That lantern... it'll reveal the truth for you."

"...?!"

"Go try it out. ...Not just on miss Reko, but on everyone."

Komaeda leaves.

Music stops.

(I couldn't get a word in...)

"poo poo...!!"

"Still, I definitely think seaweed-head framed Stripey, meow..."

"..."

"Yeah... you're right..."

"Alice was... a weak person... nicer than anyone..."

"Thinking about it now... I can understand if it was all that guy's fault!"



(Reko... Reko was trying to accept Alice's crime... She tried to convince herself that it was Alice's fault... That... must have been painful.)

  • Reko and Sou's forgotten memories.




"Reko... Can we talk about your lost memories?"

"Sara...! You mean..."

"We have to remember them... So we can stand against Komaeda!"

"Yeah... Guess you're right..."

"Gotta say, it's scary... Like, maybe I did somethin' irredeemable in the past..."

, "But dammit, I wanna know! I wanna clear this fog clouding up my mind...!"

"I'll assist you. You'll work with me, right?"

, "'Course! Do your thing, Sara!"








"Could you remember this part a little more?"

"Sorry... Don't think I remember anything else. Probably just a regular book."

"Some people read, some go on phones, some use laptops. I ain't gonna tell 'em how to spend their time."

"But if you don't buy nothin' and just hog the seat, THEN you've pissed me off!"

(It does seem like Reko would be strict about that...)



"Could you remember this part a little more?"

"Sorry... Don't think I remember anything else. Probably just decorative grass."

"The employees make sure to water it. It makes for a great view."

“You like it?"

"Yeah!"

"Eh...?!"

"Plants, I mean."

(Oh...)

  • Reko's memory doesn't have the most interesting flavour text. Moving on the actual differences.



"Could you remember this part a little more?"

"Alright, I'll try...!"

".........."

"That's not it...! This wasn't sheet music! They were... articles about Alice's case!!"

"And it wasn't me who brought 'em, either...!"

"It was him! The guy I met with... He brought them to show me!"

"Huh...?!"

"Seeing those articles talk like it was funny... It made my drat blood boil!"

"And I got so upset, I started cryin'...!"

"Because... Alice was being derided?"

"...Yeah..."

"Whether it was me wantin' to stick up for him, or if I was pissed on Alice's behalf... I dunno."

"Dammit...!"

(So was this connected to Alice's incident...?)



"Could you remember this part a little more?"

"That's a tough one... I'm on it."

"I think... Hmm..."

"This wasn't quite it... That's it! The vines here got shortened."

"If I remember right, they changed it to get rid of blind spots where people couldn't see."

"Wonder why? Feels like that'd change the mood..."

"It could be effective for preventing crime..."

"Maybe... There was that incident, after all."

(Were they long at the time of Alice's incident...?)



"Could you remember this part a little more?"

"Yep! Just gimme a sec."

"Uhh... Wait, huh...?"

"That... ain't a guitar case. It was a big suitcase...! We weren't talkin' about music!"

"'Cause what came outta that briefcase wasn't an instrument at all..."

"Seeing what was inside... made my tears well up..."

"I remember feelin' like total poo poo...!"

"Reko..."

"Sorry... I'm rememberin' in bits and pieces. Work with me a little longer, Sara..."

"Right!"



"Could you remember this part a little more?"

"Huh? S-Sure..."

"Oh yeah, actually... that wall... It might've had a security camera on it..."

"...Well, but there wasn't one when I went before."

"Until that incident with Alice happened..."

(The murder case...!)

"Which means they installed a security camera because of that incident..."

(Then the whole conversation between these two was being recorded...?)



"Could you remember this part a little more?"

"The weather, huh? Wonder if that's something..."

"Uhh..."

"Come to think of it... yeah, that ain't it. The weather that day was real awful."

"Think I said somethin' like whether it rains or snows, meet with me!"

"Wonder why... Know it's weird for me to say, but I ain't one to show that kinda concern for a man."

"Must've been pretty important... poo poo, what the hell happened?"

"It's alright. Let's take it one step at a time..."

"Right... Countin' on ya, Sara."



"Could you remember yourself a little more?"

"Myself...?"

"Actually... I don't think I was feelin' all that good about meeting him..."

"In fact, I... I was cryin', listening to him..."

"Maybe hopeful... maybe hopeless... It was somethin' didn't wanna believe..."

"That's right... I feel like I was clingin' to him."

"What a goddamn miserable feeling...! Why'd I forget somethin' like this?!"

(True... It's hard to imagine Reko doing something like that...)



"Could you remember this part a little more?"

"Yeah... Uh, I think..."

"I met with a member to talk about the band..."

"No... That can't be it..."

"...!!"

Music stops.

"No, it wasn't a bandmate I was with...! I was meetin'... with Komaeda!!"

"What the hell?! How'd I forget something like that?!"

"What did you and Komaeda even discuss?!"

"poo poo, what was it...?! What the hell was I talking to him about?!"

"No, wait... There's nothin' else it could be!"

"Alice...! We were talking about his murder case!!"

"...!!"

"Dammit, but I can't remember our conversation...!"

"P-Please, calm down! Let's just take this slow...!"

"Y-Yeah...! You're right, Sara."






"I wasn't tryin' to meet with a band member at all!"

, "It was a guy I happened to know in town... Komaeda...!"

“He contacted me sayin' "I know the truth about Alice's case"..."

Music stops.

"I was so torn up then, body and soul... that I went ahead and met him!"











"You gotta be shittin' me... sniff... Why the hell do we...?!"




"Huh? How...?"



"Wha? "Consent form"...?"



"The hell are you..."



"W-Wait...!! Release Alice!! I wanna meet him... and ask him about everything!! At this rate... I'm just gonna resent him...!"



"S... sniff..."



"...Okay..."

Music stops.




, "And I even goddamn thanked him...!!"

(This was Reko's erased memory...)

"What kind of "reunion"..."

, "I never wanted it to be like this!!"

"Losing all my precious memories... The hell was I supposed to say?!"

All I could do was support Reko as she feebly stood there.

"Wonder if things would've been different if I'd gotten some clues before being kidnapped..."

"...As if."

  • On to actual differences.



"Could you remember this part a little more?"

"...Find something curious about that?"

"Yes!"

"Hmm..."

"...Ah. Well, it's nothing major, but... The room was being heated at maximum power."

“You can catch a cold if it's too chilly, right? So I like to turn up the heat."

"When there are all those machines...? Is that safe?"

"That's why Komaeda would stop me. He even complained about it..."

"It was pretty much only when he wasn't there that I could turn the heat all the way up."

(When he wasn't there...)



"Could you remember this part a little more?"

"...I'll try it."

"That's right... I remember. One day, the briefcase was gone... and there was just a letter left."

"The letter was simple, too..."

"”Thanks for your help. Erase the data on the computer"..."

"Did you comply?"

"Surely not. I tried fishing around, but..."

"A message popped up that said "No peeking!", and it ran a program that erased all the data anyway."

"That was frustrating..."

(I'll bet...)



"Sou... Could you remember yourself a little more?"

"...All right."

"Come to think of it... There's something I forgot to mention. Komaeda's scarf... I had somehow come to wear it myself."

"I wonder why? I don't want to admit it, but..."

"When he suddenly went away... maybe I felt lonely?"

"Of course, at the time, I had no idea the sort of things he was plotting..."

".........."



"Could you remember this part a little more?"

"Huh... You're curious about that?"

"...Come to think of it. A note that had passwords on it... was missing."

"I assumed maybe the tape fell off and it got lost somewhere..."

"But I bet Komaeda got rid of it."

"Why...?"

"Who knows. Not knowing what they were used for, I would've thought they didn't matter, but..."

"Maybe they were actually important passwords? Sheesh..."

"Then again, he's always doing meaningless things and making it seem otherwise..."

(Is that so...)



"Could you remember this part a little more?"

"Ahaha, fine by me."

".........."

"Urgh... I remembered something unpleasant. Even that photo... had me in it..."

"He wouldn't let you take photos of him, yet he loved to put up photos of me... Disgusting."

"There wasn't a single photo of Komaeda...?"

"Nope... I pointed a camera at him once to test, but he gave me a murderous glare."

"He was dedicated to not leaving a single trace of his existence."

(Was everything going according to plan...?)



"Could you remember Komaeda a little more?"

"Sigh, very well..."

"...I just remembered, Miss Sara. One day... he just disappeared."

"Without knowing why or anything, he never came back."

"And if I think about it now..."

"I feel like it overlapped with Alice's murder case."

"...!"

"If the victim's name had been publicized... Maybe I would've been more shocked... yet relieved."

"Relieved...?"

"...It's complicated. A friend, yet I feared him... At times, I looked up to him like some anti-hero."

"Ahaha... Maybe a chipper person like you wouldn't understand the feeling, Miss Sara."

(So Komaeda vanished after the incident with Alice...?)



"Could you remember this part a little more?"

"Hmm... Sure, I guess."

Music stops.

"...I remember. It was displayed on the screen... The consent form..."



"Huh...?!"

"It was the file for printing. Komaeda must have made it..."

"I should've deleted that horrible file on sight."

"Well... even if you did, he'd just make a new one."

"...Guess so."

Music stops.

"But did you sign it too, Sou? The consent form..."

".........."

(He won't talk about it...?)







"Every day, like we were playing at a secret base, we'd assemble at his house and mess with computers..."

"When Komaeda suddenly disappeared... I was left with a confusing feeling between happy relief and loneliness at losing a friend."

"I hesitated over whether to look for him... but he didn't leave a single clue anyway."

"All I could do was look over my memories."

Music stops.

"That's when I remembered it..."












"Not sure what gender they are, or whether they'd be older or younger... I just figured I heard something I shouldn't have, so I got out of there right away."



"W-Well... But I'm sure meeting the likes of me would just disappoint them..."





"Y-You can meet me with them? Really...?"



"Urk... I... I'll do it. I'll become... the person I want to be!"




"Y-You're gonna do all that...?"



"Wha...? Saying selfish stuff as usual..."



"Heehee..."

Music stops.




"He was planning it from the very beginning!" Even the "Asunaro vow"...!!"

"He just made it seem like I said it myself..."

"He made me help without even realizing it! With his stupid plan...!!"

, "Even after he disappeared... I did all kinds of things to meet him..."

(Sou was made unwittingly complicit to his evil...)

"Sou..."

, ".........."

"...Well, the past is the past."

"For now... Let's just think about how to kill him as part of the game, Miss Sara."

(Is it all right to leave it at that...?)

  • Sara and Ranmaru in the classroom after using the steam spray on the consent form.

















(…!!)

"Let's go, Ranmaru...!"

"..........”

(I have to get away from this place...!)

"Hey... Sara."

"What is it...? Hurry...!"

".........."

"I... don't want you to die, Sara..."

"...Ranmaru."

"S... So... um..."

".........."



"Huh...?"

(What's he saying all of a sudden?)

"Maple told us, right...?"

Winning... What does he mean? Betraying everyone, and...?

"Don't get such strange ideas, Ranmaru! I want us all to escape together...!"

"…"

"...Y-Yeah, of course..."

"We'll all... escape, together."

"But... is that really gonna be possible?"

"Ranmaru...!!"

"Look, I...! When I'm with you, Sara, I feel more and more like I wanna live!"

"The more serious I get... the more afraid I am to die!"

"Seeing Kurumada... I realized..."

"I don't wanna die now...!!"

"That's the same for all of us...!"

".........."

"...Which is why you have to win, right?"

"...!!"

"If I wanna get out of this alive... All I have to do is take you out, Sara."

"But... I can't do something like that."

"On the other hand..."

"I'm sure I could kill... anyone else...!!"

“...?!”

"Listen, Sara..."

"Win for me..."

".........."

“Ranmaru...”






"I-It'll be fine!! Sara...!"

"I... could never kill an ally."

"I know that...! I'll... I'll do it all myself!!"



"That's not something you want! Right...?! So it'll all be... something I did on my own!!"

...








Music stops.



Sound of glass shattering.



"You can't...!!"

"Sara..."

"This... This is all wrong...! All of us...! Together!! Urghh...!"

"H-Hey!!"




It fills my body, and runs rampant. How good it would be to spew it all out and feel relief. I don't know anymore... What I really think... my feelings for others... Not even my own heart...

"...You calmed down?"

"Forget it... All of that just now..."

".........."

  • After Komaeda tells Sara what she was like in the AI tests without Joe and tags Ranmaru.



If it was my best friend that kept me in check...and I'm not able to remember him... then I...

  • Fail at Ranmaru's charge game.







"Like, for real... nothin's happening..."

"...nn..."

"...Eh? You're safe...?"

"Y-Yeah... Was it seriously just an empty threat?"

"I can't imagine that..."




"...Guess so..."

"Looks like I made a narrow escape! Heh..."

"Yep, you're saved! Let's celebrate!"

(He was left alive...? No... I can't imagine...)

"Right... At any rate, let's get out of here!"

  • Debating whether Keiji managed to escape.



"Don't you think it's weird, Miss Sara?"

...?"

"Was Keiji really inside here, I wonder?"

"I mean... the coffin's closed, meow... And even the hourglass is on top..."

"That's what's so strange."

"He got burned alive, right...? How could he be so docile about it?"

"True, he should've struggled and shouted some more, I suppose..."



"Did he not even have the strength for that...?"

"Nah, that's not it."

"He escaped. From out of this coffin..."

, "No poo poo?! Then...!!"

"Then he must be in the cemetery! The shutter was closed!!"

"Well, can't say I know about that part."

"But it's just... unnatural."

"It all reeks of lies."

"..."

"Stop it...! Don't go giving half-hearted hope!"

  • In Kanna's route, Ranmaru is the one to push the idea that Keiji managed to escape.

"...? ...What's got you so mad?"

"I mean...!"

"Personally speaking..."

, "I can't imagine Keiji kicking the bucket that easy."

"What about you, Miss Sara?"



"I... can't imagine that either."

"Ahaha... A rare time we're in agreement."

” Then what are you gonna do? Sit here and cry yourself a salty river?"

"...No. I'll search... for Keiji!"

"Sounds good to me..."

".........."

"...Ranmaru. Do you not want miss Sara to have hope...?"

"...It's not like that... 'course it's not."

"...Let's go look for Keiji."

  • Trying to leave the gallery after finding Maple.



"What's wrong?"

"Just for a bit... I'll catch up soon."

"...Alright. Don't overdo it."

  • Returning to the gallery after seeing the picture of the school in the locker room.




"What were you doing...?"

"...Like I said, resting."

"I see... That's good, then..."

"Alright, now let's look for Keiji."

  • Ranmaru actually removed Joe's picture. This doesn't happen in Kanna's route. If you click on the space where Joe's picture used to be...



  • Ranmaru accusing Keiji of bringing Sara into the game.



"Why would it be me...?"

".........."

"Ranmaru... This is just jealousy. You just want to be the closest to her, the one who protects her... isn't that right?"

"So what?!"

"You think you can save Sara...?!"

"I can do it!! I'll save her from this drat Death Game...!"

"...You can't."

"Shut up...! Come on... Hand over Komaeda's head already!"

  • In Kanna's route, Ranmaru admits he can't be the one to protect Sara.

  • After Ranmaru knocks Sara and Keiji out.




  • After Sara wakes up and everyone gathers in the classroom.



"I couldn't find Reko anywhere... And also, Kurumada..."

"...Kurumada is..."

"Eh...? You can't mean..."

"T-That's not true, is it...? I mean... he was finally able to see our...!"

".........."



"I'm more stubborn than that..."

"Kurumada...?! You're alive!!"



  • I'm using two separate save files for this update; one failing all minigames and one passing all the minigames, which is why Kurumada is slightly less damaged here.

"Waugh...!!"

  • Kurumada punched Ranmaru off screen.

"W... What are you doing?! Kurumada!"

"The locker room on the lower floor! Hurry...!!"

"Wha...?!"

"I said hurry... Before it's too late...!!"



















Wrong. Wrong. This isn't real. I didn't want this. I want us all to leave this place alive. I want to live with my allies. That was how I really felt..



"...?!"



".........."

"I heard the whole thing...!! After he gave that fake broadcast... and stole the ID card from Sara... He used that card in the control room to activate the hanging trap!!"

"Targeting Reko, who was alone in the locker room...!"

"...Y-You're wrong..."

"I was targeting Komaeda...!!"

"I was waiting for him to finish repairing Maple!!"

"Then what was that about winning...?"

".........."

"You thought I was dead, so you didn't turn off the transceiver..."

“So you muttered that happily to yourself... What'd you mean?!"

".........."

(Winning... means the thing we heard from Maple...)



Music stops.

"That isn't right... is it?"

"..............."

".........."

"…"





"...!!!!"



"To think I'd screw up on the first one..."

  • Alice meets the same fate as Reko on this route. Like Alice, Reko survives on Kanna's route.

"Why would you do this...?"

, "Knowing the clear condition of the banquet..."






"Ran... maru...!!"

"You gotta be shittin' me!!"

"You're horrible! Did you forget us saving you...?!"

"We became allies!! How could you... kill one...?!"

"It's you who's looking to save himself, surely?!

"Hey, now..."

"When did you side with them, Hinako?"

"You...!!"

"No one's going to side with you!! We won't let you go around killing us...!"

"..."

Music stops.



"Komaeda...!!"

.

"Oh dear, Reko's died. How weeeak!"

"You...!!"

"Komaeda... Wanna make a deal?"

"Eh?"

"Here..."



  • Ranmaru's execution after failing the charge game.





Music stops.

"Come to think of it... we never got to your execution from the game of tag, did we?"

".........."

"Huh...?"









"A... Ahhh..."

"You really ought to know your place, Ranmaru!"

  • If you succeed at the charge game.



"Why, you...!!"

"Ahh... The ID card, this late in the game..."

"Well! Sounds amusing enough, so okay!"

"Now then, it's time for her debut! Maple's been reborn!"

  • With everyone distracted by what happened to Reko / Alice the group do not confront Komaeda about the price they paid for their wishes in Sou's route. As a result, it's not revealed that Sou and Kanna are siblings.

  • Losing in the second Maple battle.






"Tormenting an AI of myself... Doesn't feel good."









"G-Geez! I hate this guy!!"










  • If Maple's battery isn't drained after eleven turns.





"...Awww. "Even if I rushed fixing her... This is just terrible."

"Time to scrap this piece of junk."

"You fine with that, Maple...?"



.











Music stops.

"Aaahhhhh...!! Mai...!!"

"Good for you! You did the job right!"

(No...!!)

"Ahaha... What would you like as a reward, Maple?!"



  • Winning the second Maple fight.








  • On Sou's route, Ranmaru will “help” Maple (even if you fail to pacify Maple in the first fight with her, she still doesn't want to fight in the second match) by attacking someone at random and making them unusable for a turn. This is in addition to Maple's normal attacks, which also make a character unusable for a turn, though Maple's attacks are scripted in whom they target. Attacks only occur on specific turns and only one attack happens on those turns; so if Ranmaru attacks on a turn, Maple won't attack on that particular turn.





  • After beating or losing to Maple, things go the same way as they do in the Kanna route, Maple turns on Komaeda and attacks him, but instead of trying to appeal to Maple, Komaeda runs away.

"P-Please, wait! Before that... Reko...!"

".........."

"She's already gone, you know..."

"...!!"

"...Don't be selfish. I'm going."

(...Gone...? You want me to just... accept it? This... tragedy...)





(Reko, who protected us when we were weak... Fallen victim to someone I trusted as an ally... There's no way... I can process that so simply... I sowed... the seeds for this...)

  • On the Alice / Sou path, Sara reflects that Komaeda destroyed Alice's life, which in turn tore apart his relationship with Reko and even rid himself of his memories of Reko after she was killed, before lamenting that Alice deserved to lead a much happier life than he did.




(That I want to escape from the pressure of protecting my allies... It's me... who drove Ranmaru to this. It's all... my fault...)

"I'm so... sorry... I'm sorry... Reko..."



“Gin...”

(I have... no right to embrace him. Sorry... Gin...)

Music stops.

"Wait... Sara."

"Q-taro..."

"Muscle gorilla..."

"I dunno what Komaeda told you..."

"But we believe in ya, Sara."

"...!!"







"That can't be true... Gin's always done his best for everyone..."

"No... I..."

"The Main Game vote... I ran away by forcing it on big sis Sara, meow..."

"That's wrong... Gin, you..."

"Nobody's gonna blame ya. We'd have no right to hate ya even if you gave up on us..."

"Don't be absurd! We... W... We... Are allies... so..."

"That's right..."

"No chance we'd live long if we split off from one another."

"So don't go leavin' us."

"Don't keep yer heart... at a distance."

"...Big sis Sara..."

Music stops.

"...Okay."





"Don't cry... Gin."

"...Yeah..."



I won't become... who Komaeda says I am. I swear it... on Reko's death.

Music stops.

"Big sis Sara! Let's go, meow!"





  • This part also goes the same as in Kanna's route, Komaeda tries to tell Maple that he loves her. Maple goes to deal a finishing blow, but...






  • Maple goes out the same way even if Ranmaru was executed earlier.

Yeah, no kidding. That's an incredibly sharp branch there. This game has a lot of content, though this seems like it's going hard into a bad end.

Holy poo poo, Ranmaru. :magical:

Edit: Also love the dramatic irony that by torturing Sara with Joe's memory, Sou accidentally turns her into exactly the kind of person he was convinced she is.

Sou is kind of the anti-Joe in that way, isn't he? I wonder if they did any of the AI simulations without him...

Did you know, I was THE MOON once!

Yes! You see, one night it turned out the moon had been STOLEN!

The animal people asked ME to take its place as I am so WISE and BRILLIANT!!
Something else I noticed is that on Sou's route it's guaranteed that whoever is alive between Alice and Reko will die to the hanging trap. It's almost like the game wants the player to kill Sou when given the chance since things seem better on Kanna's path (Ranmaru doesn't go rogue, Alice or Reko survive, Sou strengthens Sara with Joe's memory, etc).

If Reko + Kanna survival gives the best ending, then the whole game's ending will be decided by how willing you are to sacrifice small children for victory. Which makes perfect sense, given the themes we're seeing about what Sara's like.

Also starting to realize that the Nao ending wasn't so out of left field after all...

  • Talking with everyone before the banquet.





"It'll be a tough fight."

"Yep... But I think it's true. Komaeda was afraid."

"Fear can change a person... "He must have a weakness to exploit, Miss Sara."

"..."

"Haha... Still, I have to say..."

"Ranmaru... He did something pretty outrageous."

"Even I didn't expect he'd kill miss Reko... Who needs a doll that brings harm to humans? Ahaha."

"...Aren't you sad, Sou?"

"Sad...?"

"I can't even make that kind of feeling anymore."

"To me, there's no big difference between Komaeda and you all..."

"Only... the order. Ahaha..."

(Sou...)






"We have nothing to tie him with... And I'm sure he'd resist."

"Tch... Wanna give him a big kick to satisfy myself."

"But, well..."

"After the banquet's over... suppose you can just not bring him back."

"I mean..."

"What's that look? You're gonna forgive him for killing Reko-senpai...?"

(I'm not... one to judge.)

"...Enough. No point taking it out on you, Sara-senpai."

  • Gin and Mai say the same thing as they did in Kanna's route.




"You mean Ranmaru?"

“Yes...! You always compromised with us! So why take Miss Reko's life...?!"

“...”

"Look at the state Kurumada is in... If Ranmaru tries something before the banquet..."

"I'll stop him... I'll throw myself in the way if I must."

(...!)

"..."

"Well... supposing I even can..."




"Don't say that. Let's all be friends."

"But that Ranmaru's so scary! I thought he was just this kinda weak boy..."

"No... If he hadn't met me, he wouldn't have become..."

"What the heck! That's not right!"

"If somebody influenced him to turn all evil... That's on him!"

"Have you never experienced something like that, Anzu...?"



(..........)

"But I'd never think about hurting anybody!!"

(...Maybe Anzu's showing concern in her own way.)




"Is your body okay?"

"As if that's what matters right now... poo poo..."

"He betrayed us...! He broke our promise!!"

"W-We're the ones who were betrayed... It's not like he injured the Dummies..."

  • Not for lack of trying though.

"That ain't the issue...!"

"It pisses me off... Reko should've been here too..."

"I wanted to take pride in seein' that promise through... poo poo!!"

"Dependin' on what the banquet is... Maybe I'll get to off Ranmaru..."

"...!"




"What about you, Q-taro? Is your wound okay?"

"Don't sweat it. If I've made it this far, shouldn't be no concern..."

(It seemed pretty deep... I'm amazed.)

"...Q-taro, um... Is there... something you haven't told me?"

"...!!"

"I want to know all about what happened when we were acting separately."

".........."

"It's all jus' like I told ya..."

"…"

(If he won't tell me... Then I won't ask... I'm sure I can believe Q-taro.)

"When yer ready, Sara, give me a holler. We'll start preparing for the banquet."




".........."



(It's no good... I don't want to talk to Ranmaru as he is now... No matter how hard I try... I just remember the fact he killed Reko... Not that I... have any right to criticize him...)

  • Kurumada's injuries.





(Huh...?)

"What's the matter?! Kurumada...?!"




"Hey!! Hang on!!"



“Kurumada...!!! No...! We're going to do the banquet together!”









"Petering out at the very last moment... How unlucky."

"Why, you...! Don't say it like that!"

"Well, but what is lucky..."

"Is that he didn't run out of battery... he died of external wounds."

"Ah...! So his collar ain't gonna activate?!"

"Means we might be able to bring him back."

(...!)

"We'll definitely save him, meow...!"

"So just wait, woof... Muscle punk..."



  • There aren't that many differences in the banquet; Ranmaru is colder, but essentially doesn't say or do anything differently. Q-taro is the one to work out that Alice accidentally killed the real Hinako (in the Reko / Kanna route, Reko figures it out). Hinako can't be killed prior to the banquet, so the reveal of her being human and her coffin switch with Komaeda is the same regardless of route. If any Dummies are killed prior to the banquet, their bodies are still placed in their respective coffins before the banquet, and the lines after their coffin is drilled reflect that the Dummy was already dead.

  • Finding Gin's pod on Komaeda's turn.



"No... way..."

"Big sis Sara...!!"

"I...!! I..."

"...Gin..."






  • Meister overruling Komaeda's objections to Sara using her wish to force Komaeda to change his selection.




"Hold on, ain't that strange?"

(Ranmaru...!)

"Listen, there's only two glowing coffins left..."

"If he doesn't pick Gin here..."

"Then we'd be able to pick Komaeda with certainty next turn!"

"Wouldn't that mean completely changing the outcome of the Death Game?!"

"You...! Whose side're you on?!"

"It ain't gonna end..."

  • Hitting Ranmaru.








  • After Komaeda is killed.

"Well done! You hit Komaeda!"

"With this, the challenging team wins! However..."

"It seems you'll need to pay the price."

"…"

"N... No..."

"Keiji...!!"

"No! He can't die like this...! I need to...!!"

"Rule violations will be punished..."

  • From here the ending is the same as Kanna's route.

Music stops.



"Hmm... Yes, I see... Couldn't care less."

"In this place, you can experience a story that's a bit different from the main Your Turn To Die game. It's purely a bonus, so please enjoy it as a breather after playing through all of the main story. Eheehee!"







Music stops.





I am Kai, a homemaker with a bit of a hidden side.



"And I awaken on an island... Is this a kidnapping?"

"Ya think so too, eh?"

"Who traps people on an island...?!"

"And also, gathering this many people together... What do they intend to do with us?"

"Waaah! I want out of this hot place, meow!!"

"Seems we've got no choice but to work together... Cooperation is key."





"Err... My name's Sara Chidouin. I'm just a high school student."

"I'm Jou Tazuna, but just call me Joe! I'm Sara's bud! Ask me anything about her!"

"I'm Keiji Shinogi... Workin' as a policeman."

"I'm Kanna Kizuchi, a middle schooler! ...And she's not here, but I have a big sister!"

"Q-taro Burgerberg's the name! I'mma pro baseballer! ...Second-string, tho!"

"I'm Sou Hiyori. I don't really want to say it, but... I guess you'd call me a job-hopper."

"Name's Reko Yabusame. I'm a singer-songwriter."

"My name's Nao Egokoro! I'm attending art college right now!"

"I am Kai Satou. As you can see, I work as a homemaker."

"I'm Gin Ibushi, meow! Don't underestimate me 'cause I'm just a grade-schooler, woof!!"

"I am Kazumi Mishima. I work as a high school teacher, teaching the subjects of art and Japanese."

"...Gonbee Yamada. My occupation is that of a model prisoner... I won't be taking any further questions."

"Seems we've got a dangerous one here..."

"Um... Come to think of it, what about you?"

Music stops.







"W... Who the hell're you?!"

"I am the Island Master, Sue Miley, the Laughing Doll."

"Well, everyone? Are you pleased with the island?"

"Are YOU our kidnapper, meow?!"

"Ahaha... What a dreadful way to put it."

"I merely issued you all an invitation to this wonderful Isle of Memories."

"What in the world do you mean to have us do?"

"Eheehee... A most wonderful game of survival."

"It's all very simple. You must merely survive here for 30 days."

"Go foraging for food, craft defenses for your base, and keep your lives amongst dangerous creatures and trap-laden facilities."

"W-What are you talking about?! Let us go right now...!!"

"Ahaha... Please do give it your all."

Music stops.

"Dammit!! You hold the hell up, lassie!!"

"Looks like she got away..."

"Hmph... What of it? A mere 30-day sentence is practically a vacation."

"T... That's awfully positive of you...?"

"Nothing we can do. Let's all work together to overcome this."




  • Apologies for the short update, but I'd like to take a different approach with the fondness events* this time; namely, getting as many as possible.

    The basic story, key events, and endings in Kai's scenario are the same as Mishima's scenario, barring some minor dialogue changes. The one major difference, aside from the fondness events, is a new sidequest (which has retroactively been added to Mishima's scenario), and includes a minigame which is unique to Kai (Mishima has his own minigame, which I will likely cover once we're finished with Kai's scenario). Winning at the minigame unlocks a new ending.

    Without the fondness events, Kai's scenario is going to rehash a lot of content previously covered in this LP. I'm planning on two people crafting until the second level base is built and all base facilities are unlocked, and at least one person training. Kai and everyone else will mainly be foraging. I'll still initially take votes every five days, but these will be to decide who will be crafting and training, meaning it's unlikely we'll get a fondness event from them over that five day period.

    With that said, please vote for two people to craft and one person to train for days one to four. Please note that Kai's events with Mishima are different from the events Mishima had with Kai.

  • The gameplay is unchanged, you assign each character to forage, craft, train or rest each day.



  • One minor addition, if you click on the base, you get Kai / Mishima's thoughts on the current situation.



  • Day 1 results:

    Found 4 food, and 35 material (used unique ability to forage twice).
    Found 3.200 yen.

    Art for the special abilities is the same as Mishima's scenario.




"...Do you need something from us?"

"Eheehee, those defiant eyes... You're giving me shivers..."

"Ah yes, everyone. Are you not getting hungry?"

"If you do not share and eat your food, you may just die of starvation."

"You should be able to tell how hungry you are by the color of your face."

"Currently, you're all at yellow. At this point, you will still be all right without eating anything, but..."

"If you were at green, your health would degrade... And at purple, you'd undoubtedly starve."

"Please do your best. For if you die on this island... Your memories will vanish..."




  • Day 2 results:

    Injured.
    Found 2,800 yen, forging score increased.

"W... Wha?! Are you a victim, too...?"

"M-My name is Tia Safalinnn... And sorry... but I'm not your ally..."

"Then you're our enemy?! Don't just show up all casual, dammit!!"

"Ah, n-no, that's not iiit!"

"Please keep this a secret from Miley, but... I came to sell you itemsss..."

"Items, you say...?"

"Y-Yes... I'll sell you food and the like in exchange for money..."

"Mwahaha... Commerce while in confinement... What an absurd thing."




  • The shop design has changed – as always, I just buy food.

"I... I'll stock up and come back again...



  • Unfortunately, I have to send Gin and Gonbee off to rest, they can't take any more damage.



  • Day 3 results:

    Found 4 food and 3,330 yen.
    Failed, but avoided injury.
    Trained twice.

    Injured.
    Regained one stage of health.



"You show yourself surprisingly often. Is it lonely by yourself?"

"Eheehee... Trying to make me lose my temper? I'm just coming to give you advice."



"W... What did you say?!"

"Eheehee... See, I gave you a warning. Aren't I so kind?"






“We've also created a workbench inside, making it possible to construct necessary tools.”




  • The facilities are unchanged.



  • Reko needs to rest, and I also send Keiji for a rest – as he's training he's not gaining any fondness points, and it's preferable to have the fighters at full health before a battle.



  • Day 4 results:

    Found 34 material and 3,400 yen.
    Found 2,700 yen.
    Regained one stage of health.
    Failed but avoided injury.
    Found 2,700 yen.
    Found 27 material.
    Regained one stage of health.
    Failed but avoided injury.
    Found 2,900 yen.
    Found 2,800 yen.
    Found 3,700 yen.
    Found 18 material.







  • The battle is won, but both Keiji and Q-taro took a battering.





  • Who should craft and train on days 5 to 9 (inclusive)? Keiji and Q-taro will need to rest on day 5, but they'll be able to pick up their assigned task from day 6. At the moment, all the foragers have 8 fondness points with Kai, except for Gin and Gonbee, who have 6 due to them needing to take a day for rest. Reko, Nao and Keiji have no fondness points with Kai yet.

"Doesn't change how y'can't play baseball here!"

"I want a million yen prize or something for successfully surviving, woof! It'd really help our finances, meow!"

"Still, though... What're they having us live on an island for?"

"Doesn't feel like they'd abduct us here just to keep us from escaping, huh."

"Perhaps... this island has some kind of secret."

"When you put it that way, this place does seem kind of unusual..."

"Almost as if it was made by human hands... Am I right?"

"An artificial island?! You for real...?!"

"But... It's not just the island that's odd. Even the sea and sky are changeless and quiet..."

"So you mean... all this nature's artificial?! Even the whole environment?!"

"I-Inconceivable... Such a leap of logic. Though I don't deny it's a strange island..."

(Isle of Memories... It's an unsettling name.)




  • I build a small trap - this restores one stage of hunger for one random character each day.







"Yes, it is I, Kai. What's the matter?"

"I found this large fruit. But... it's so tough, I can't even get inside it..."

"Hm... For a fruit like this..."

"There's actually a simple way of opening it."

"Oh?! Please, teach me!"

"Well then. Please, strike along this white vertical seam."

"With a closed fist?"

"...I imagine it would be difficult barehanded. Let us use that thick log over there."

"Hrm... it's pretty heavy..."



"It should be easy for a kendo master like yourself. Assume posture!"

"Eh?! O-Okay!"

"Give it a men strike!"

"Mennn!!"

"Brilliantly cleft in twain."

"Amazing, Kai! You really know everything about food!"

"Yes, of course."

"Ah, the juice is spilling out... What a waste."

"…"

"Incidentally, it's hellishly sour."

"...!! Ugh, it is...!"

"...Dislikes sour things... noted."

"*cough*... Tell me before I eat it next time, Kai!"

"Apologies. But I have obtained new data."

"D-Data...?"



"*sigh*... I thought it could at least be food..."

"Not to worry, it can be cooked to be edible. You shouldn't throw it away."

"Huh, is that right?"




"Ah, wait! Don't go, Kai!"

"We've got nothing but time here! Don't dodge the question!!"







  • Day 6 results:

    Found 39 material and 4 food.
    Found 27 material.

"Oh my, miss Safalin."

"Yes... I came to sell to you again today..."




  • As always, I buy more food.

"I... I'll stock up and come back again... Please keep this a secret...







"Oh, Joe. What's the matter?"

"I just wanted to ask you..."



".........."

"Hm... So you've noticed."

"You mean...!"

"Indeed..."

"Was my kebab that day tasty, Joe?"

"Wha?! The owner of the kebab place on the way home from school...?!"



"That's just what you think. Memories are not always accurate."

"If you insist, then where's your proof?!"

"In the taste."

"The flavor of that kebab you ate... What do you say I recreate it?"

"The flavor, eh...?"

".........."

"Heh heh heh... 'Zat right, Kai...!"

"Just so you know, you're makin' a big mistake if you think that'll gloss things over!"

"'Cause I never forget the taste of somethin' tasty I ate!"

"Oho..."

"Then allow me to have you taste it again. Will that satisfy you?"

"Yep! If you perfectly recreate the same flavor, I'll recognize ya as the owner of the kebab place!"



"Haha... Then let us hone our blades until the day of that decisive battle."

"Heh...! Don't try to run, Kai!"




  • Day 7 results:

    Found 4 food.
    Found 3,330 yen.
    Injured.

    Found 32 material.
    Trained successfully.




Music stops.

"What could that house be...?"





"We'll never finish our menu at this rate!"

"There are people here, too...!"



"This seems interesting. I shall take a look."

"We'll never finish our menu at this rate!"

"Dammit, Anzu, how can you call this sushi?!"

"How dare you say it like that?! I just used a fish that looks a little funny! It's probably delicious, so try it!"

"I-I'm feeling it would be best if we had miss Mai do the cooking..."

"I can make anything as long as it's bread or pastries!"

"Ugh... If only a skilled cook could show up right about now...

"Hold on a sec...! Uh, I can see a frying pan outside?!"

"So I've been found out."

"What's your problem?! Why're you peepin' into people's houses?!"

"Hang on, guys. Take a look at his get-up..."

"An apron...?! Could you be... a cook?!"

"I am a homemaker."

Kai explained how he came to the island.

"Huh... So you're struggling too..."

"Is now the time for sympathy?! We've gotta make a menu for our Beach Hut here!"

"...Beach hut? Things sound quite fun over here."



"'Twas not fun in the slightest."

"Hey, mister Kai! Whether you're a chef or homemaker or whatever, would you help us make our menu?!"

"Me...?"

"Wahh, that's a brilliant idea, Anzu!"

"We've been doing cooking competitions for a week now, but we just can't put together a menu!"

"Kurumada's just selfish! My sushi is surely delicious!"

"No... you were right not to eat it.



"Huhhh?! But I took a nibble?!"

"Spit it out, spit it out!!"

"...Indeed, I think it's best if I assist."

"Really...?! You're gonna do it?!"

"Just so we're clear... I'll be real mad if you half-rear end it."

"Of course. Please judge my cooking in your cooking competition or what have you."

"Well, there ya go. If you make somethin' good, we'll give you a prize."

"Don't go speaking for us... What can you give him?"

"How about I give YOU away, ya stupid runt?!"

"You're meeean!!"



"Understood. A competition in 3 days."

(I should be sure to prepare food first...)



  • I'll go into more detail next update when we'll actually participate in the cooking competition, but the competitions can be quite a drain on food if you have bad luck with RNG.









"Please, call me Kai."

"That's for ME to decide, woof!"

"If you could bring one thing to a deserted island, what would you bring, meow?!"

"You ask this now...?"

"Now's the perfect time, woof!"

"Hm..."

"I would have to say a lighter."

"You wanna smoke that badly, meow?"

"No, because it can be used to cook."

"If you want to smell of smoke, you can get it from smoked meat."

"What's smoked meat?"

"Meat is but one thing that can be "smoked"... enshrouded in smoke, essentially, for flavor."

"Sounds yucky, meowww!"

"I shall make a delicious smoked meal later. Incidentally, what would you bring, Gin?"



".........."

"Surprised by my cleverness, woof?"

"Yes, surprised indeed."

(Quite the interesting child...)

"Gin, I think you may have a talent for commanding people."

"Like a squad leader or something, meow? No thanks, I don't wanna bother, woof!"

"Oh, really? I look forward to what your future holds."

"Heh heh! Ahh, how many more sleeps until I'm a grown-up, woof...?"

"You're surely close. You ought to prepare for it."

"Will I get taller too, meow?"

"Yes, indeed. ...As long as you eat well without being picky."

"Whoaaa! Bring on the smoked meat, woof!!"

"Tonight's dinner is decided, then."







  • Day 8 results:

    Found 4 food and 39 material.
    Found 35 material.
    Injured.
    Increased base points by 29.

    Injured.

    Trained successfully.

Music stops.




"Oh, a guest? Who might you be?"



"I'm... a castaway who washed up on this island... Are you here to rescue me...?"

"No, I am similarly waiting for help. Terrible, is it not?"

"I see... I've got a base too, elsewhere. ...But I've run out of food."

"I injured my leg... so I can't even hunt now..."

"Hey... please... Could you share just a little food...?"

(Troubling... It is a homemaker's duty to oversee the food. Should I share some...?)



"T... This much...?! Are you sure?!"

"Indeed. We must help each other in times of trouble."

"Thank you... Thank you... I'll definitely repay you..."

Music stops.







  • I move Kanna and Sou to foraging today – there are too many people needing to rest due to being at red health / a battle on the next day. Plus, both of them are only two points away from their first fondness event.





"How troubling... I don't have any food on hand."

"Couldja make, like... driftwood nice 'n' edible or somethin'?!"

"This is worrisome. Heat and hunger have caused Q-taro's common sense to fly the coop."

"I wanna eat meat..."

"Indeed... If you don't get protein, your body may start to break down your muscles."

"A slender Q-taro... is a bit scary to imagine."

"Beefff... porkkk... chickennn..."

"...Though you're already being quite scary."



"...That's not a good thing to hear."



"Aghh...!!"



"Hah...!"

"I feel a cool breeze... Was I sleepin'?"

"Yes. You likely fainted from hunger and the heat."

"Huh... And you were fannin' me the whole time?"

"Yes, indeed."

"...Huh... Y'know, if ya hadn't saved me, you mighta just solved any food woes..."

"I see. Well then, shall I cut you up?"

"Whoaaaaa! Don'tcha dare!!"

"It was a joke."

"Urk..."

"It's just the facts... Bein' this huge, I gotta eat a lot too..."

"Indeed you do... Shall I secretly give you extra?"
"Anythin' but that!! A grown man draggin' everyone down'd be the worst!"

"Yes... I suppose."

"Fairness can be a tricky thing."

"It's fine... Inequality's what starts fights..."

"We got a good team here. If I'm jes' gonna be causing discord..."

"Better for me to get out, y'know?"

".........."

"I... do not care for that calculation."

"To subtract someone so the team can survive... It is too cruel."

"I much prefer that everyone add their powers and help one another."

"Kai..."

"As it happens, making do from day to day is a homemaker's expertise."

"Perhaps you would try believing in my ability?"

"…"

"Yer right... My bad. I'm just thinkin' all about negatives..."

"Understandable. And in doing so, you surely have a clear picture of the future."

"That viewpoint may save us from peril someday. I would appreciate if you remained here."

".........."



"That is the spirit."
