## Verse 1

### Prologue

素敵な**若者**が現れました。
私を**虐めて**
みてくださいな？
と願うかぐや姫に、
ピノキオは顔を赤らめてうろたえます。
僕は作者を**復活**させようかと。
まあまあ、実は私もそうなのです。
目的の一致を見た2人は、
とりあえず、
一緒に**行動**する事にしました。
the sky gazing Princess Kaguya.
Could you please be the one
to **torment** me?
Princess Kaguya begs, and
Pinocchio is flustered with blushed cheeks.
I think I should **revive** the Author.
Dear me, child. Actually, I'm trying to do that too.
The both of them saw agreement in their goals
and, for the time being,
moved to **act** as one.
a handsome **boy** appeared before her.
"Would you please be ever so kind as to **treat me like dirt**?"
Pinocchio's face turned bright red at her shocking request.
"I just want to **revive** my author."
"What a coincidence" That's my wish,
too."
Since thei goals coincided,
the two decided to **travel** togather for a time.

## Verse 10

### Prologue

決めて下さい。
いいえ、**かぐや**さんが。
ここはどうしましょう？
あちらはどうしましょう？
**被虐**の姫と、**依存**の人形。
お互い意見を言わないのだから、
足が進むはずなどありません。
だから、ほら。
強そうなナイトメアが現れても、
二人は譲り合ったままで動きません。
早く誰かが決めないと
**殺されてしまう**
というのに。
"N-No, Princess **Kaguya**. You decide."
Oh, dear. Whatever will we do now?
This sure is a mighty pickle we're in"
A **masochistic** princess and a **needy** puppet.
Both unwilling to take the lead,
they became stuck, paralyzed by
indecision.
And as you can imagine ...
Even when a nasty nightmare appeared,
they were unable to decide what to do.
With neither coming close to a decision,
they faced certain **death**.
How did they react?

### Boss Dialogue

Legend: P = Pinocchio; K = Kaguya; G = Gishin; A = Anki

K: 戦った方がよろしいのなら、戦います。
P: 僕は、かぐやさんが戦うなら.......
K: 私は、ピノキオさんが決めるのなら.......
G: じめじめグチグチ、アーッ、ウザい！
A: ２人でサッサと戦えバーカッ！
K: If you think it best to fight, I shall.
P: If you fight, then I will...
K: I will fight if you decide, Sir Pinocchio...
G: Stalling and WHINING. ARGH! So ANNOYING!
A: JUST fight, you IDIOTS!

### Epilogue

力を合わせて強い敵を倒しました。
けれども2人は視線を外し、
よそよそしく離れます。
**被虐**と**依存**。
受け身の2人。
一緒にいても全く**無意味**。
きっと最初から気づいていたのでしょう？
**ご武運**を。
**幸運**を。
2人は短く会話を交わし、
互いの求めるモノを探しに行きました。
the two managed to defeat their foe.
But they swiftly averted their gazes,
and coldly parted ways.
**Masochism** **and dependence.**
Two sides of the same coin.
Being together was completely **futile**.
Surely they knew this all along?
"I wish all the **luck** in the world."
"Save **some** for yourself."
After a brief farewell, the two set off in pursuit of the same desires.
