She'll need her **two-bit authors'** permission, though they're dead and buried.
To bring them back, she'll need an **offering**.
Cinderella cackled as she counted all the **souls** she would extinguish.

### Boss Dialogue

Legend: C = Cinderella; G = Gishin; A = Anki

C: 面白おかしい物語に決まってるだろ。
そうだな......私が王になろとか？
A: 灰かぶりが王！？イカレテル！面白イ！
C: だろ？その為に、邪魔な奴ら殺さなきゃ。
C: An amusing story, obviously.
Let's see... How about I become the king?

### Boss Dialogue (Hard)

Legend: G = Gishin; A = Anki

A: 王子様がイナイと何も出来ナイのにネ？
G: デモ、このシンデレラは違うみたいデス。
A: 物語より皮肉で痛烈デ汚イ灰かぶり。
G: サテ、どんな物語を紡いでくれるデス？
A: Even IF she can't do anything with NO prince?
G: BUT this Cinderella SEEMS different.
A: She's more of a sarcaSTIC, scathING dirtbag.
G: NOW THEN, how shall this story BE spun?

## Verse 2

蔑まれて生きてきた魂が、
簡単に救われるとでも思ってた？
after I was mocked for being covered in ash
and lived my entire life being despised?

## Verse 3

幸せな時間を過ごしても、
足蹴にされた過去は変わらない。
and lived a time of happiness,
it doesn't change the past when I was treated like shit.

## Verse 4

愛や時間が全てを癒すなんて、
甘ったるい幻想を信じてる？
Did you think I'd believe that sweet delusion
that love and time heals all?

## Verse 5

膿んで爛れて腐息を放ち、
いつか心を蝕もの。
and reek as they fester, inflame, and decay.
Someday they will erode my heart.

## Verse 6

傷つけられたら、傷つけ返そう？
同じ—いやそれ以上の痛みを与えよう
When it's painful, then why not get back at them?
As much as—no, with even more pain than was done to me.

## Verse 7

自分の欲望を認めればいいだけ。
Just do whatever the hell you want.

## Verse 8

出来る限り優しく、
出来る限り苦痛を長引かせて。
As gently as possible,
to prolong the pain as much as possible.

## Verse 9

痛みに歪む敵の顔。
ああ—なんて気持ちがいいんだろう！
Look at that enemy's face twisted in pain.
Ah!—I'm loving this!

## Verse 10

### Prologue

そこに映る**女**はとても楽しそうで、
心から今の状況を楽しんでいるらしい。
口元に浮かぶうっすらとした笑み。
歪んだ目元。
そのどれもが**美しい**。
ーああ、そうだ。
これこそが私の**本当**の姿ー
シンデレラは笑いながら、
次の**併物**に武器を突きつけた。
The **woman** reflected within looks pleased
like she is relishing her current situation.
The faint smile on the edge of her lips.
Those twisted eyes.
All of it is **beautiful**.
ーAh, I get it.
This is the **real** meー
Cinderella laughs
while stabbing her weapon into her next **target**

### Boss Dialogue

Legend: C = Cinderella; G = Gishin; A = Anki

### Epilogue

他人を**欺く**楽しさに。
他人を**従える**悦びに。
シンデレラは気づいてしまった。
人に足蹴にされて生きてきた。
男の気まぐれな愛で救われた。
それらは全て、クソッタレな作者の都合。
それなら作者すら**欺いて**
自分に都合の良い物語を書かせよう。
**卑劣**。
それは、シンデレラを焦がす、
炉の理み火。
The pleasure in **deceiving** others.
The joy in **conquering** others.
Cinderella realized.
People treated her cruelly in her life.
She was saved by a man's whimsical love.
All at that shithead Author's convenience.
Then she should **play** that scummy Author
to write a good story at her convenience.
**Malice**.
That is principle of the furnace fire
that scorches Cinderella.
