26 ASKS! :DD THANK YOU! :}} 🥓

I mean, knowing me I'll come back around to it someday. I love Octonauts and tend to loop back around to that show every so often.. Its just that I've had a lot of uncomfortable experiences in the Octonauts fandom. Especially recently..

I don't really wanna go into detail, but I will say that I've encountered more upsetting situations in the Octonauts fandom, than I have in nearly every other fandom combined. Which is rather surprising considering its a kids show. And also unfortunate, since I don't really feel free to have fun in the Octonauts fandom the way I want to..

I'm hoping that at some point I can get my confidence back and find my way around that fandom and have the fun I want. But for now I'm just kind'a keeping my distance and thinking about it. I don't need any extra stress rn-

@unpopularartist14

I use FireAlpaca! :D As for how to draw injuries and bruises.. hmm.. well.. injuries are different from drawing to drawing and hard to explain.. but bruises? aaa how do I explain it--

Well, for character with pale skin. Like Wario and Waluigi.. I find I just airbrush some deep purples and reds in one spot on their face and put some dark purple/red scratches on top.. and how much purple or red you use depends on the freshness/severity of the bruise. If that makes sense..??

Like- Using this post with the Wario "bros" as an example, the bruise on Waluigi's chin/cheek is a muddy purple and has dark purple scratches on it. I feel like using purple makes the bruise look little older and likes its healed some.

Meanwhile on Wario's chin the bruise is pink/red-ish. Making it look "bloody" and fresh. I think so at least--

AGHHG- sorry, I'm not the best at explaining things. I hope you can look to that post as a reference and draw some bruises. I used the airbrush and pencil tool to draw them if that helps! <:D

@untitled-7613 (Comic in question)

Hmm.. my favorite Disney character.. I know that Disney bought Pixar and now owns all the characters. So I'm trying to think of characters that Disney made, not bought.. and I'm having some trouble remembering the older movies..

I think I liked Tarzan! Though I wouldn't say he's my favorite.. hmm.. I like Mufasa from the Lion King and I like the Genie from Aladdin! I also liked John Silver from treasure planet! (That was Disney right?) But idk if I'd say they're my favorite Disney characters.. hmm..

Now, if you're asking what my favorite Disney/Pixar character is? Well that's easy 👇

@tallchest13-blog

XDD Thank you so much! :DD I'm glad you like it! :}}}}

:x I have not seen the welcome home update-- all my info comes from MatPat/his channels. I'm way too lazy to actually go look into any welcome home stuff myself <XDD

ALTHOUGH!- I have heard that Julie has monster paws! :DD No doubt she has them for different reasons than my Julie, but still! it felt like an Apollos dodgeball moment for me! XDD

I'm not sure why you're telling me all this.. but I suppose I'll put in my 2 cents while you're here-

While some of this is true, this sounds like a rather 1 sided view of Alphys' character. I know most of the Undertale characters are beautifully complex and thought out, Alphys included. And I don't think this view is accurate to who she really is.

For example, as far as I remember she wasn't watching anime to "slack off". I'm sure she was severely depressed and extremely overwhelmed with everything going on in her life atm.

I think it would be a good idea for you to watch some character analysis videos on Alphys. Since I don't remember her very clearly, I cannot defend her very well. But I recall seeing a lot of posts/videos in defense of Alphys and explaining why she did the things she did.

Basically, I think its worth your while to actually look into Alphys and give her a chance! Who knows, after gaining some more understanding of her, you might just like her! :}

WAAAHAAG THANK YOU SO MUCH!! THAT MEANS A LOT TO MEEE!!😭💖💖😭💖

And hey, I get where you're coming from about the whole art theft thing. :( That is my biggest struggle being here on Tumblr. The constant art theft is so disheartening. In fact there were several times in the past where I almost threw in the towel and quit Tumblr all together over it.

But what's kept me around is people like you! :D There's some folks out there that really care about what I make. And are excited to see what I make next! The nice comments they leave me and the engagement with my work has really stuck with me. And it's what keeps me coming back! Maybe someday if you decide to take that first step and post some artwork, you'll find a lotta nice folks that make the art theft seem not so bad :}

Also giant watermarks. Giaaant watermarks that are just annoying to look at. That might discourage art theft <XDD

As for Jevil and Grillby.. In my AU, Jevil has this power to create mirrors and jump from timeline to timeline through them.

At some point when it was just him and Seam traveling together, they wound up in this Snowdin at night. Grillby was about to close his bar but he saw these too tired and hungry people so he let them in.

At some point while they were sitting at the counter and talking to Grillby.. Jevil could feel in his soul that this timeline they were in was about to collapse. Killing everyone in it. Jevil reacted on instinct and grabbed Seam and Grillby's arm and pulled the three of them through a mirror. The timeline was destroyed as soon as they disaapered.

What this meant is Jevil had saved Grillby's life!.. But his AU/timeline no longer existed. All of Grillby's friends and family were gone.. his home was gone.. He was now a homeless wandering traveler just like Seam and Jevil.

Deep down, Grillby doesn't really hate Jevil. He just took the grief of it all really hard and blamed it all on Jevil in response. He wished that Jevil hadn't saved him so he could have just died with the rest of his family.. and not have to experience this grief today..

Overtime he gets better.. and he understands that Jevil didn't want for any of this to happen. Eventually they talk about it a little and they end up on better terms. Maybe even becoming true friends someday. :}

@astaherussy (Recent development post on the Wario "bros") (Old Wario "bros" post) (Old King Boo/Boos post)

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like what I've made! :DD As for Wario and Waluigi.. the main changes I'm working on are visual/design changes. In their outfits especially. And I'm thinking of taking away their hats. They looked obviously very similar to Mario and Luigi's..

When it comes to their story, that is also being developed. I think I wanna keep the aspect of the Mario bros getting in some trouble and the Wario "bros" rescue them. Though with recent developments.. I don't know if the whole thing in Shy Guy woods is gonna work out-

In other news, actually no! :0 I wasn't aware that Spidercrab is so liked, but I am very glad to hear that he is! :DD

And a lot of those vibes was what I was going for! Tired, traumatized, has anxiety but is better at hiding it. Though the father figure is unexpected XD but I guess it fits! He's rather introverted and prefers quiet and space. But he is also the crews medic, and boy does he worry and care too much for his own good. He cares too much about them to spend all his time alone. He not only cares about their physical health, but he cares about them as people.

He wants to be there for his crew. He want's to be the first to notice when something is wrong or one of his crew is unwell. So he tries to participate in all their gatherings. Despite how much he'd rather just go read a book in his hammock <XDD

Though, he is still antisocial/awkward.. so there could have been many times he noticed one of the crew seemed off. But he didn't have the guts to talk to them. So he would go and tip off one of the other crew members to check up on them. Stuff like that I imagine is his way of showing he cares. :}

WAHG! I rambled a bit there didn't I? <XD Well I hope it was a fun read at least- as a thanks for taking interest in Spidercrab! It means a lot to me :}}}

Thank you so much!! And indeed he is! I'm so honored that you remembered him! :DD Though he's looking at some major re-designing and a biiiiit of lore re-structuring too <XDD 💔💔

<XD Unfortunately for many reasons I cannot/will not drink any of the things on that list. But! I can drink water! :D

@badlyblurry

<XDD I suppose so, at the very least I'm dipping my toes in and having some fun!

Hmm.. out of all the Mario games I can remember.. I think red shells from Mario kart got on my nerves the most <XDD

That, or this one very specific Zinger from Donkey Kong country. But I get that a DK game might not count XDD

📢📢SHOUT OUT TO YOU SETH!! :DD 📢📢

Thank you!! :DD

@neo-metalscottic

Ahh, I see, thank you for the info! And I'm glad you like my interpretation of them anyways! :DD

And oh yeah, his children's safety is his #1 priority. He's probably getting Kamek to create more Goomba's and rearranging his troops. Setting up a big chunk of them to just be on watch duty around his land. In case the hero's decide to come back..

He's also probably tightening the defenses around his hidden palace. (Where the Koopalings, Kamek, Kammy and the Blue paratroops all live.) Most likely by stationing more troops there and hiding out there himself. He wasn't able to beat the bros but he will still be an obstacle for them if they ever make it to the palace and try to hurt his kids. (Mario and Luigi wouldn't do that most likely but Bowser doesn't really know anything about them at this point- other than the fact they are very powerful and very scary)

I didn't think much about K rool when I made my version of DK. But that guy and his species are intended to exist and be causing problems on DK's island. Though all the details I'm unsure of.. perhaps its what you said, maybe they want the special beets and fruits that the kongs eat? Or maybe they came from another island that didn't have much to eat and now they're here to take over.?? :00

Sorry, I don't take requests! And my ability to draw rn is rather limited anyways... 😅

BUT! May I direct you to this post and point out a detail in the background? Cici only ate the frosting off her cake slice. So Bibi offered his slice so she could scrape off his cake frosting and eat that too XDD What a sweet brother he is :}

@2006-stupid-thatsme

I am not familiar with those sites.. <:0

<XD Mike was kind of a jerk though. Now don't get me wrong, his voice was killer! But I don't think he really changed as a person by the end of the movie.

If they had put him in the second movie he was gonna need a major personality change in order for me to like him <XD

@candyglumboy

I think its alright. :0 And if I have drawn one of the characters? I cant remember doing it <XD

(In relation to this post)

Aw, I'm sorry that you have to deal with all this. It doesn't sound fun that's for sure. :( But thank you for the info! :DD

@littlelightfish

XDD IM GLAD YOU LIKE HIM!! And these are all good questions! Unfortunately I haven't thought much about these things- so let me make some of it up on the fly- <XDD

I imagined he likes to mess with the crew sometimes and pull little pranks. Its all in good fun! Just a bit of goofin off. And he mostly does it to Coco XDD

Now his favorite crew member.. hmm.. I feel like that might be Ellie. Despite her cold exterior, she had a big heart and really does love her crew. Even the butthead that is Tuna <XDD I can see her getting the other crew members to lay off and give Tuna some space. She is known for cooking food to everyone's specific preference, no matter how much longer it takes to make. And she would do the same for Tuna. Cooking what ever he wants, how ever he wants it cooked.

That really means a lot to Tuna.. if he can count on anything, he can count on Ellie to cook a perfect meal just for him.

Now the crew member that understands him the most would be who ever has had similar experiences to him, right..? In that case it might be Pinwheel. Orrr Coco.. maybe Spidercrab..? Ah, I'm gonna need to do some more thinking on that one <XD

The crew member he doesn't feel so comfortable around could be Cuttlefish. She is very mysterious and some would even say untrustworthy. He is probably spooked by her and doesn't fully trust her. Though I'm also experimenting with Tuna having trouble with authority figures. So mayyybe he's less comfortable around Seafoam and Octo..?? :00

Also thank you for your enthusiasm and interest in Tuna! Its the biggest compliment to me/my OCS 🥰🥰

@raccoons-in-a-dumpster

XD Yup! Its me! And thank you! :DD

@beryl-shade

XDD Do they say that? Are there popsicles in the oceans from that game??

I'm not sure.. I'd assume so..? Keep in mind that these character were made from a game that I know next to nothing about-

Maybe? :00

@yeetmysoulintothevoid (Post in question)

No its not a sexual dimorphism thing, its all about stress, exhaustion, health,, etc.

Peach and Daisy have very thin blue markings (like their species is SUPPOSED to have) because they are well fed, well rested, and pampered as princesses.

Wario and Waluigi's blue markings are very large and puffy becuase they eat garbage, get very little to no sleep, and are fighting for their lives on the daily pretty much- if they had a saver living environment and a secure source of food, their eye bag would be much less noticeable-

Now Rosalina's blue marks are noticeable and puffy mostly due to her grief and depression. And partly because she isn't exactly.. aliiive..? Anymore..?? <:D

And yes! Everyone's ears are emotive! :}} Maybe subtly though. They can perk their ears up or droop them down, much more than a human typically can. But they cant do really fine and quick movements to improve their hearing/listen in a certain direction. Like Dogs, cats and rabbits can for example. Its all slow and mostly intentional movements.

Nope, I don't have plans to finish that comic. The writing was horrible and everyone acted super out of character all in the name of angst. 👎👎👎

If anyone wanted to know the ending, Kwazii was gonna patch Barnacle's face and the rest of the crew was gonna show up in the gups. They get him in a gup, take him to the octopod and he gets situated in the sick bay.

Then Kwazii and Peso have this stupid emotional talk about how Peso feels bad for not being there for the captain and blah blah blah. VERY out of character for Peso. The entire point of Peso's character is that he "helps any creature who is hurt or sick, no matter what." There is literally nothing on earth that could have stopped him from helping his own Captain, no, his friend in his time of need. That writing is juuuust so dumb.

Plus Kwazii was a total idiot in that comic- realistically Kwazii would have taken that situation very seriously and would have listened to anything that Peso told him to do. And even if for some reason he was being stupid and continued to approach the Captain, Peso would have stopped him.

And this is even beyond the fact that this whole comic starts with Captain Barnacles doing a series of very stupid and irresponsible things that he would not do. And then a perfect storm of "whoopsies!" happen ever so perfectly to have him wind on that island.

Over all its a veeeeery bad comic. Not my best! 0/10 would NOT draw it again! XD I don't even want to re-write it to make it good. Becuase that whole situation just wouldn't happen from the start.

Although, I am keeping the idea that Barnacles has a very sensitive nose/face. (Due to him being a polar bear with many muscles and nerves in his face) And if he ever got hit in the nose/face? It would be incredibly painful and he would be very disoriented for a time. But the rest of that comic can go down the drain XD

OMS yessss that's so accurate tho-- like I haven't changed much if I'm being honest (I spend a LOT of time inside.. XD) awww-- I can understand that- in japan we didn't have a backyard, so I stopped going outside much at all-- occasionally I biked to convenience stores or walked to vending machines, that was cool, but no backyard :/ having no backyard sUCks, like where am I supposed to scream into the void?? INSIDE?? /j

OMS-- CRYS XDD what a Mood™ tho- "oh I'm gonna continue this thing!!" *does something else entirely*

XDD It was done Against My Will™ (get Against My Will on the album I Haven't Awoken Well Rested Since I Was A Child by the band The Bags Under My Eyes Aren't Makeup! XD) MOOD-- I spent the quarantine summer doing nothing but staying up until the sun rose and sleeping until it was at its peak- where did the time goooo

I AGREE HOW DARE HE- LIKE EXCUSE?? YOU TINY HEATHEN??? anyways now I'm trying to go back to squirting him with a squirt bottle to startle him(even tho he's a fan of water, the harsh spray startles him) but anyways thank you crysss I'm never getting a cat in my life now bc of this rude child (dogs are superior anyways /hj)

(and now time to reply to the OTHER ask cause I'm efficient and not going to send two separate asks to respond to things that can be responded to at the same time.. ....why did I even ramble about that wtf henry(huh I never refer to myself by name that felt weird))

Okay!! No worries dude, you can always take your time with replies, I just don't trust tumblr XD 💞❤️💕💝💝💖💕❤️💖 of course!!! Thank you!!! 💖💕💕💖💞💕

Oooh!!! That sounds super fun!!! Man I miss hanging out with my friends-- but my closest friend(lives in my neighborhood) has a parent who works in other people's houses, so high risk, and the rest live several hours away :)) but anyways yeah that sounds hella!!!! I love that y'all were just like "okay well. we're gonna hang out anyways." XDD

YOURE WHAT-- CRYS YOU HEATHEN IT IS NOVEMBER!!!!! /j I can't stand Christmas music, being a choir student made me not be a huge fan of it-- too much Christmas music.. ugh. (Straight no chaser is tolerable at least. And Pentatonix. And covers by artists I like. But if I have to hear Jingle Bells ONE MORE TIME--) YESSS BESTOW UPON ME THOU'S PRESENCE AND PRESENTS...

buT WoW omg this topic has now made me realise how i barely go outside- XDD i wish there would be other thingd around my neighborhood other than a "park" that has DEAD GRASS and the sprinklers go off like every hour for some reason- duNNo what the builders were thinking but i guess i dont mind- i stay in my house a whOLELE lot xD

and YESS IT GETS ME EVERYTIME- "hey lets draw-" *-WRITES-* XDD AND ABHAHAHAHA (NOW ON YOUR LOCAL MUSIC STORES- XDDDD) and omG MEEE- the times i would usually sleep would be around 3 am to 6 am- ironically my mom has a more screwed up schedule than i do- and SHE STILL HAS- last night she told me that she hasnt slept in 48 HOURSSS- MaMAAA PLEASE SLEEP

GO AWAY CAT HEATHEN- XD and omG a squirt bottle of water yes XDD and awh i definitely understand now how youll not get a cat- sounds like a hecka pain ;0;; i never even had a pet before (or not that i would recall- oh wait i think i had fish but i have an embarrassing story that made my mom ban fish from the household- OH MAN the shame)

and yeahh oh man- i hope you are okay with all these topics XDD and thank you!! 💕💞💕💞💕💞💕💞

awwhh i see- i wish you can hang out with your friends without it being too risky! that reminds me of that one time where my friend said "hey so uh you guys can hang out at my house since at my parent's workplace someone was positive for covid" and then immeadiately after they were like "SO WE NEED TO GO TO ONE OF YOUR GUYS' HOUSE" and Im LIKE- UH- NOO??? nOt AfTEr you just say THAT- nuh uh- thankfully we didnt hang out that day- better safe than sorry xD

and omggg those pies sound AWWESOMEEEE- i always wanted to try pumpkin pie before but when i asked my mom that she was like "nO iTS diSGusTing" and im like "*visible confusion*" and lOwKEY SAME- pineapple pie just sounds a bit off but my mom was really hyped to make it xD i'd actually say its not that bad! but im still not a fan of pineapple so uhhh xD (aNd YEAH IT DOES feel like it would make those haters cry-- XDD)

and PFHAOHFA IM A LIVING HEATHEN- XDD omg at this time of year- it gets CRAZYY for me- first off- Tree is a true filipino- right when it was the first day october- youd hear them say "FUCK HALLOWEEN"(and id just whine to them like "BUT HALLOWENENENEN") and then their family set up a whole christmas tree and over-the-top decorations- and omg- if you hate christmas music- you would despise the philippines sO MUCH- when the FIRST day of SEPTEMBER hits- CHRISTMAS MUSIC ON ALLLLL THE STORES- it will drive you WILDDD ( yeah its actually a normal filipino thing- not that i ever went to the philippines myself at tHAT time of year- but my friends and family tell me all about it- filipinos are the true christmas maniacs XDDD)

and awhhh choir must be a pain ;0;;; that would remind me how on one concert- the beginners class of choir screamed on purpose even though they werent supposed to- the teacher got so pissed XDDD and YESSS PRESENTSSSS- and awh man- i actually dont own ANY consoles at all- so the only things i can ask for is steam games- last year for christmas i got just shapes and beats- which was WORTHHH

and oo YAY- now i shall mark that on my calander- XD and mine is february 7!

Ensemble Stars! Event Story - Offering . The Easter of the Undead / Easter (Part 1)

Sorry for the held up as this translation was supposed to be completed last week but I ended up getting a high fever instead and this was being delayed until now ><” (Work and getting back to health was hard D:)

Back on topic, this was a request and since I had yet to read this event story, why not?~ I’m quite fond of UNDEAD too so this was yet another good chance to know more about them, especially when it talks about the past and the era of DEADMANS +W+

Anyway as always, the summary of the story can be found below. Translation may not be 100% accurate due to my poor Japanese skills~

Prologue

The story started with Kaoru making an unexpected visit to the light music club room and was surprised to find that no one was there. He was disappointed as he had made a visit here especially as he was free due to the girl he had planned to go on a date with cancelled out on him. He wondered what he should do since he had specially come to school, and didn’t want to make a u-turn back home. 

Suddenly, Rei appeared which ended up giving Kaoru a shock, since Rei was just standing there silently in the room. However, Rei continued to remain silent and ignored Kaoru when he talked to him, which Kaoru remarked that Rei seems scary like that. Rei finally reacted after awhile, and Kaoru wondered whether Rei was still tired after putting in too much effort at the DDD recently. Rei remarked that the DDD was a huge event that caused the school to change after a revolution and thus it was needed for Rei to observe the event closely and to give additional help when required. That actually sounds like a good plan to Kaoru, since he preferred UNDEAD to be in the position of a bystander so that he won’t have to work so hard. 

Rei replied that he didn’t want to sweat either, since that would cause his body temperature to increase and makes it as though he was burning under the sun, just like a vampire... Kaoru wondered why Rei kept talking as if he was a vampire as it seems like Rei started to behave and referring as one since last year. He explained that though he was alright with it, he wondered whether fans of Rei from the past would feel bothered about this new personality of his now. That made Rei worried that he might be “unsellable” but Kaoru said that rather than being “unsellable”, Rei had become even more popular now, and that had helped Kaoru to become more popular among the girls.

Kaoru remarked that Rei seems more like a zombie than a vampire now, joking that both types would be fitting for “UNDEAD”, and Rei thanked him for being worried about him. Even though Kaoru said that he had no need to be kind towards male and that the words from his lips were only for ladies, Rei still felt that Kaoru was a kind-hearted guy deep down, and towards such a kind-hearted Kaoru... Rei had a request for him. 

He started to get close to Kaoru, which made the latter confused and panicked, being uncomfortable with the closing distance. Rei just sighed and said that though he knew the action he would be doing was frown upon in the public and considered against the moral, he had no choice but to do it. Kaoru felt that Rei was indeed behaving weirdly today, but Rei continued on that he really needs Kaoru to help him as he’s too weak... so even though it’s sudden, Rei wanted to drink Kaoru’s blood.

(This whole entire scenario made me feel like I’m writing a BL story XD)

Kaoru was surprised for a moment but quickly said no. Rei was disappointed but continued to beg Kaoru that there’s no one else that he could go to other than him. That made Kaoru really confused since he had thought that being a vampire was just a personality Rei had thought up and acted as, so he doesn’t understand why Rei was asking to drink his blood suddenly. Rei continued to approach Kaoru silently, which scared Kaoru even more as it seems like Rei was serious about it!?

(I actually really like CG of Kaoru being all panicked like this XDD)

Regeneration: Chapter 1 - 2

At the same time, Adonis and Souma were doing their duty roster at their classroom. Adonis had noticed that Souma has beautiful handwriting as he wrote in the roster diary, and really envied him since he himself could not even write Japanese that well now. He revealed that he’s the one who ended up taking alot of time to sign a signature, and that causes a line to form at his area during their signing event and felt that he had caused trouble for the others. Souma gave a weak smile and told Adonis that he too had caused a line to form at his area too during the signing event, as he started to grind ink before using his brush to sign, and that scene had made Keito and Kuro speechless. 

Keito had later told Souma to make sure of “TPO” but Souma doesn’t know what that means, and thus decided to ask Adonis about it. Adonis explained that it’s the abbreviation of “Time, Place, and Occasion”, and the two later on discussed on the need of using abbreviation ^^; Adonis admired Souma that his senior had lectured him about such incidents since he felt that he was being treated like a baby in UNDEAD, revealing that Rei would praise Adonis whenever he noticed something for the unit and would hug and pat him on the head too to comfort him if he realised that Adonis was being ignored for too long. Even though Adonis was thankful to Rei for looking out for him, he felt that he was strong now and didn’t want to be taken care of all the time. He wanted to be someone who could be relied on and could support his comrades when required. This was why Adonis had been increasing his body training recently to gain even more muscles since, for him, strength is muscles. Souma advised Adonis that he needs to be careful not to work out too much as if he gained too many muscles, he would become less and less flexible, and that would be bad if it affects their growth.

As Souma finished up the rest of the diary, the two guys remarked how glad they were to be able to do duty roster with each other as they were being paired together according to their class’s index number, and Souma’s and Adonis’ were very near to each other. Adonis silently thought to himself that he was relieved that he was able to talk normally to Souma. As UNDEAD had gone against the school council twice in both the S1 and DDD, that would mean that Adonis had gone against the two units that Souma had valued alot - Akatsuki and Fine. He felt bad being enemies with Souma and thought that there’s nothing to be helped if he was being hated and scolded by Souma. But Souma had treated him the same just like before, which made Adonis felt bad since he had not apologised for hurting his friend. Just as Adonis was about to talk to Souma about this matter...

Koga appeared! He was wondering whether Adonis was here in the classroom as he had wanted to practise together with him. (What good timing you have chosen to come Koga =w=“)

Souma had found Koga rude for barging in suddenly, complaining that he’s a wild dog, while Koga rebutted that he’s not a dog but a wolf instead. The two started quarrelling, which made Adonis panicked as he hoped the two of them could get along well instead. However, Koga felt that Souma was their enemy and rather than getting along, he would be looking for an opening to bite him by the throat instead, and Souma had felt the same towards Koga too. 

Souma had heard from Adonis that there aren’t any activities for UNDEAD today, and thus wondered why there were practices. Adonis was confused too since he had planned to head over to the track and field club for club practices actually. Koga replied that UNDEAD was currently on hiatus from practices as Rei had wanted to take a break for a period of time, but Koga himself wanted to do some self-practices, and thus specially came to Adonis’ class to invite him too. As UNDEAD had “revived” during S1 and DDD, Koga felt that this was a good chance to let the public to remember their name, telling Adonis that this was their chance to start their era and he should not be satisfied in their current state. He had waited for a long time for UNDEAD to be revived, and thus find himself unable to stop until he rushed all the way to the top. 

However, noticing that Adonis had a troubled look on his face, Koga was pissed and told him that he won’t force him to come along if Adonis doesn’t want to practise, adding on that he had always been working hard by himself anyway. As Koga was about to leave, Adonis asked him to wait and said that he would be joining him, as he agreed with Koga that this was the start of their era. He realised that he had been obediently taking a break just because he was told so, and felt that what they should do was to practice since it would be waste to stop now that they’re all “warm up”. That made Koga really glad as he remarked that Adonis understood him well and he’s a part of UNDEAD as well.

As Adonis had changed his plans, he informed Souma about it and asked whether that clashes against the school rules. Souma thought and replied that it’s not against the school if the two of them practises by themselves, though the case would be different if they start doing idol activities like a live performance. Koga was determined as he affirmed that they won’t be doing a live performance, as he had promised Rei that UNDEAD won’t perform until all the members had gathered together, as much as Koga wished to stand on stage and sing as much as possible. Adonis smiled and remarked that Koga indeed likes singing very much, to which Koga replied there can’t be any idols who hate singing, and if they do, they’re not considered an idol. 

(This is actually quite a cute interaction between the two of them XD)

Souma urged Adonis to go ahead to his practice, even when Adonis insisted to stay till the end to help Souma. Koga realised that Souma doesn’t seem busy at all and wondered whether Akatsuki was on hiatus too just like them. As Akatsuki had not performed at the DDD, Koga dissed Souma that Akatsuki might have decided to hide and cry after being defeated by Trickstar at S1. That pissed Souma off as he warned Koga not to make fun of Akatsuki any further, but that only make Koga taunted him even more as he continued to diss Souma and challenging for a fight instead. Adonis urged both of them to stop quarrelling with each other again, telling them that while Koga was his comrade, Souma was his friend too so he would hate to see both of them fighting with each other, adding on that seeing such a scene pains his heart. 

(Aww... Adonis T////T)

Souma decided to let Koga off, giving him a warning not to be so cocky, and reminding him that though a revolution had been made and Yumenosaki Gakuen was gradually changing, the student council, school rules and Akatsuki did not disappear and would still be there. Akatsuki had gone a long way to get to their current position, and though they’ve slipped and fall, Souma was sure that they would be back on their track soon enough. 

Regeneration: Chapter 3

After that, Koga had gone to search for a room that they could practice in while Adonis awaited for him. It took him half an hour, and unfortunately, they still ended up with no room since all of them had been booked by others earlier on. 

(This is a funny scene where Adonis told Koga that he’s used to waiting as he had always been waiting and hiding in the woods for a half a day when hunting in his hometown. Koga remarked that sometimes Adonis’s life sounds a joke too me.)

And thus, Koga decided that they shall practise at the light music club room for today since Koga had a key to that and could enter it freely as and when he likes. It would also be normal for the room to blast loud music from it since people would just think that they’re doing club activities. Adonis had thought that it would be bad to intrude since they would be disturbing the other members of the light music club, but Koga felt that it’s alright since the others knew that Adonis was his unit mate. He suggested that they could head to the running ground to practice at times in exchange, which is the training area of the track and field club. But Adonis felt that that would cause even more trouble since there are also other clubs which may be using that area, and he worried that the sand flying in the air over there might damage the instrument, as much as a live performance outside was suitable for UNDEAD as it shows their wild side. 

This made Koga pondered for a moment on whether they should cover their instruments with plastic bags to protect them but felt that that look doesn’t seem wild nor rock. Even though Adonis seems to know abit about rock now, Koga felt that he still doesn’t know anything about rock at all, and in order for Koga to recognise him as a rocker, he had to at least reach the level of Rei in the past. 

Suddenly, they were shocked by the appearance of Kaoru, who had dashed out of the light music club room with a pale face. Kaoru was confused but asked them to get out of the way regardless since he’s returning home. He blamed himself that he should not even have the thought of “practising once in a while” since this was not like him at all, as he now regretted having this though and realised that he doesn’t understand what Rei was trying to do at all.

Adonis stopped Kaoru by grabbing him and telling him that he’s even more intrigued to know what happened after seeing such a commotion, adding on that he would be glad to lend him a hand. Kaoru felt pained and remarked that Adonis was a “big kid” who had quite a strong grip. Adonis cooly replied that he had been training his grip recently as he wanted to get strong, and reminded Kaoru that he’s not a “big kid” but Otogari Adonis instead. 

(Kaoru, you really should remember your unit’s mates’ names by now =w=“)

Under Adonis’ tight grip, Kaoru surrendered and requested Adonis to let go of him, saying that girls would misunderstand if they saw markings on his arm. Suddenly, Rei caught up to them and Kaoru immediately shooed him away, calling him a pervert XD Koga was confused on what was happening and told Rei that he as an old man shouldn’t be causing trouble to the youngsters.

Rei was sad and remarked that he had always thought that he was on good terms with Kaoru, but it now all seems like a misunderstanding on his end. Kaoru dissed that even if they’re getting along well, anyone would feel troubled normally if they’re being requested to have their blood sucked by the other party.  (I like Kaoru’s diss here XDD)

Koga immediately understood the situation, mumbling that they’ve too busy that he had not realised that it was “this part of the year” again. On Kaoru’s urging, Koga revealed that the same thing happened at around the same time last year, lecturing Rei that of course, everyone is going to run away when he did not explain anything before requesting to suck their blood. Rei finally offered to explain about it, asking Kaoru not to be afraid of him and to return to the clubroom together with them, even promising him that he would definitely do anything to harm him...

Regeneration: Chapter 4 - 5

Back at the light music club room, Rei mentioned about easter, which Kaoru knew what festival it was about, remarking that of course, he remembers all of the festivals since girls would hate it when guys don’t value such important events at all. Rei started to explain that his clan would set up a ceremony during Easter, and that would the next leader of the clan (which is Rei now) would have to suck the blood of the youth who had prepared their harvest of spring. As Rei’s conditioned had worsened after the end of DDD, his clan members had gotten worried about whether there would be a ceremony. Rei knew that his clan members would not give up on not organising a ceremony, so Rei decided to quickly host one just to get them off his back. (And that sounds insulting to Kaoru since it seems that he’s being selected casually just to get this event over and done with XD)

Rei assured Kaoru that even though he had requested Kaoru suddenly because he was sleepy earlier on, after thinking though he still felt that Kaoru was the most suitable. He begged Kaoru with a puppy face whether the latter could let him suck his blood, but Kaoru still rejected him since he felt really disgusted by the thought of it. Rei started fake-crying and assured Kaoru that he won’t be biting him on the throat and sucking him like how it was in the movies, just that he would extract some of his blood to mix with the wine and drink it. But even after thinking through, Kaoru still hated that idea and rejected Rei once again, remarking that he would consider if it’s a girl begging him, but if it’s Rei, he would reject to do it even if Rei pays him money for his blood.

(Poor Rei that he’s being rejected yet again TWT No wonder he’s showing such a sad face... Kaoru, you’re being unexpectedly mean somehow ^^;)

Kaoru tried to change the topic, suggesting that Koga could be one to supply his blood since he likes Rei very much and would be willing to do so. Even though Koga tried to deny he likes Rei, he confessed that he can’t since each person was only allowed to contribute his blood once for the ceremony and he had already contributed his blood at the last ceremony, he’s out of the list of the suitable candidates this time. Rei warned them that if anyone was to contribute their blood more than once on the ceremony, they would die so he would not choose Koga for the ceremony this time.

(Koga looks disappointed somehow though... I guess he really wants to help Rei actually ><”)

Suddenly, Adonis spoke out and suggested that he could be the partner to supply his blood for Rei this time. He pulled apart his uniform to show his neck and told Rei that he wanted to help him to repay his gratitude for Rei taking care of him all this while. Since Adonis doesn’t remember he had participated in this ceremony before, he felt that it should be alright for him to participate this time. He even emphasizes that he’s huge and healthy and thus very suitable for blood donation, requesting Rei to suck his blood as much as he likes. In exchange, Adonis hoped that Rei would stop forcing Kaoru since the latter had expressed dislike for it, remarking that it’s against the moral to force someone violently. (But Koga butt in that going against the moral is just like UNDEAD’s style =w=“)

(Adonis showing off his neck like this is... kind of sexy >////<)

In the end, since Kaoru rejected the idea so much and Adonis had volunteered himself, Rei decided to take up Adonis’ offer. Adonis wondered if Rei would be alright in taking in his blood as the two of them had different blood types. However, as Rei really valued Adonis very much, he doesn’t want to hurt him or injured him since he would need to inject a needle in Adonis to extract out his blood. (Then what about Kaoru? XD) He patted Adonis on the head, thanking him and praising that he’s really a kind-hearted child. But Adonis replied that he doesn’t want to patted on the head since that would ruffled the hairstyle that he had styled and his second elder sister would be mad at him for that XD (This made me curious to see how Adonis looks like when he hasn’t styled up his hair OWO”) The group then talked about Adonis’s sister being a stylist, when Kaoru thought that his whole family seems like they lived in the Amazon or something. (It’s not like they’re living like Tarzans =w=“)

Suddenly, 2wink made an appearance at the club room and remarked how lively it was in there. Hinata noticed that Koga seems to be a bad mood and asked him whether he had gotten into a quarrel with Rei again, which pissed Koga even more as he wanted to beat them up. The twins aren’t afraid of him though, with Yuta even hopping onto Hinata’s shoulder so that they would be taller than Koga~ Koga and Rei realised that the twins were very energetic even though they were being punished by doing volunteer work for breaking the DDD rules, and Koga was even worried about them for a moment. Thanks to Rei and “me” for helping them, they had been coping well and looked forward to resuming idol activities again soon.

Wondering whether there are any idol activities they could do, 2wink asked Rei if they could join UNDEAD, even if it’s an add-on/omake. Rei felt sorry since it felt that he had tarnished 2wink’s reputation at both S1 and DDD, but Hinata assured him that it’s not that and ultimately it was 2wink themselves who had decided to take a gamble and join them in the first place. Besides, Yuta felt that 2wink had yet to have a distinct direction on what kind of unit they would be, though Hinata felt that it was only Yuta who was worried on what kind of idol he should be. Going back to the topic, Hinata hoped that Rei could give them some “reward” for all the work they’ve helped UNDEAD in the past.

All of a sudden, Kaoru interrupted and asked Rei that this was not the time and place to be worried about others since he had his own problem to solve right now which was the ceremony. That made Hinata interested as he asked for more information about it. Rei explained about it and requested everyone to help him, and planned to corporate the ceremony in a collaboration live performance of both UNDEAD and 2wink, since if they wrote an official application for the live show, they could get the student council to sponsor them and helped them to prepare for the live performance, as much as he hates to get his own personal matters involved with his work as an idol. Koga agreed, though he requested Rei to go more into details on how they should do this whole thing, which Rei replied that he had thought that they’re comrades who could work together even if he doesn’t have to translate what he’s thinking to them, adding on that it would be more interesting when one doesn’t know much about the others. (Mysterious aura would be more interesting?~ kind of logic I guess...)

Regeneration: Chapter 6 - 8

Over at the student council room, Keito was busy with his paperwork as usual and Souma was there offering tea for him to take a break. Keito wondered why had he gotten thirsty, and Souma answered him that he had noticed that Keito would usually murmur out in a small voice what he was reading, and this was why he had gotten thirsty easily. This was an old habit of Keito’s, as he remarked that it was his vision that he needs to check every single word and sentence on the paperwork carefully. Even though Eichi had taught him speed reading, Keito, however, felt that that cannot be counted as reading at all. Souma agreed with Keito’s view happily, and Keito asked Souma to come closer to him, just to give him a pat on the head, thanking him for always helping him with matters of the student council even though Souma wasn’t an official member. 

(This was such a rare chance that Keito was the one who initiated an action to care for others in a physical way OwO For a moment, I thought I was watching a romance scene when Keito asked Souma to come closer to him >////<)

Keito remarked that even though it was great that the students had gotten more lively as compared to the past in terms of idol activities, this meant that the student council would get even busier with their workload increased by two to three times. He was glad about this situation since in the past it seems that no one was alive in school with most of the students being listless like zombies. Noticing that Souma’s hair has split ends, Keito asked him whether he had felt stressed since this was unlike of Souma who had always made sure that he was perfect. He urged Souma to enjoy himself and go out and play, and though he would like to join him, it would take another two weeks for the matters at the student council to settle.

But Souma shook his head and said that he was already glad to be by Keito’s side and be of help to him, and Keito promised Souma that due to Eichi retreating early at DDD, it caused a less damaging effect, and was sure that Fine and Akatsuki would definitely make a comeback soon. When that happened, it would be even busier than what they’re facing now.

Suddenly, their conversation was stopped by Koga who made an appearance, calling Keito a “kuso megane” as a greeting. Keito dissed Koga that he needs to learn the word “manners” from the dictionary, adding on that perhaps Koga doesn’t even know how to read. That pissed Koga as he threatened to cut off Keito’s poison tongue (These two... How did they even survive being in the same unit in the past I wonder...) Souma immediately wanted to pull out his sword and attacked Koga, but thankfully Keito stopped him and asked Koga what was his intention on coming here, wondering whether Koga was here to laugh at them, teasing that they were crying when the revolution had been made to change the school. 

At that moment, Rei stepped in and remarked that they’re getting along well even though they’re quarrelling with each other. Keito remarked that it was rare that Rei would actually move about and make an appearance himself, which Rei calmly replied that of course he would move about since he’s a living thing, and assured Keito that he’s only here to hand in a proposal normally. This actually made Keito felt weird that Rei was doing something normal, even though it was supposed to be normal that Rei, as the leader of UNDEAD to be handing in a proposal.  

Now that he knew why Rei was here, Keito now wondered why Koga was here, since there was no need for him to tag along, and dissed that perhaps Koga actually had a leash on himself, being attached to Rei. Koga rebutted that he’s not a dog that was being reared by Rei and answered Keito that he was bothered about something and decided to come along and assured Keito that he won’t cause a commotion or disturb them, and thus hoped Keito would just ignore him instead. 

Since UNDEAD had submitted a proposal, Keito decided that he would do his job, by checking it fairly and processed it as per always. He read and realised that the proposal was a collaboration live performance of both UNDEAD and 2wink, and it would be regarding Easter. It was a performance that would fit the current season since Easter was around the corner, and Keito guessed that they’re planning to use this live performance to announce the “revival” of 2wink. Ever since UNDEAD had participated in the S1 event recently, there had been talks around on whether they would be making a comeback, and thus Rei planned to use this live performance to promote the fact that they’re be making an official comeback as UNDEAD. He had also discussed this proposal with “me”, and “I” had given “my” feedback that “I” thought this was a good proposal. 

Keito commented that the proposal was actually written really well, which was a breath of fresh air for him since all he had read recently was terribly written proposals, as lots of units had gotten active in school and submitted their proposals. 

(Apparently, they were so terribly written that Keito had wanted to tell them to think more before writing XD)

On first glance, it looked like the proposal was alright and it seems like the proposal would be alright to process smoothly. Rei thanked Keito, but Keito cooly replied that he’s just doing his role by processing proposal that should be processed. Rei tried to remember when was the last time he had written a proposal, but Keito told him that in his memory, it doesn’t seem that Rei had written a proposal ever. However, as much as the proposal was alright, Keito noticed a slight problem with it, and that was the theme of the live performance “Easter”. As there are already other units in the school participating in “Easter Night”, Keito was worried that the public would felt sick about yet another Easter theme live performance, even if “Easter Night” was a live performance out of school. Besides, the school had already offered help to that event as a backup because of their students participating in it.

Rei had already known about this event since Switch was the main star of the event and Valkeryie was also involved as well. Since UNDEAD was already in the limelight recently due to them performing at S1 and DDD, Keito worried that the appearance of UNDEAD would outshine Switch and affect their performance, and thus told Rei that they would have to change their proposal so that it won’t be too similar to “Easter Night”. Rei replied that he would think about how to change, as he didn’t want to disturb Natsume’s performance and made him dislike him. He remembered how badly Natsume was affected when the five oddballs’ era had ended, and seeing how Natsume’s thoughts had become twisted after being stepped on, Rei could only sigh and hoped that Natsume could grow up well healthy.

Therefore, Rei suggested that their live performance would be different from the modern style kind of Easter, and instead, it would be closer to the theme of Christians gathering and absorbing the seasons before. That theme was also related to Rei’s clan and the ancient aura of the theme would be more suitable to UNDEAD. Keito knew about this theme as well and understood that Rei wanted to go for this ancient theme that had long been forgotten by most people. This as also something that Akatsuki’s vision, which Rei remarked that they had to learn more from them. Keito actually agreed with Rei’s goal this time and told him that he actually had the urge to want to support UNDEAD. Rei was glad about Keito’s thought and even suggested Akatsuki join them in the performance together. However, Keito replied that unfortunately, he doesn’t have the time or effort to do that right now, but as part of the student council, he would be going to the performance event to look over it and also lending his support in planning and making this event a success. 

Rei was glad about Keito supporting him, remarking that since S1 was Trickstar’s chance to shine, and DDD’s was Fine’s, it had been a long time for UNDEAD’s turn. But Keito smirked and said that he would be definitely judging how well Rei would do for the event and declared that he would process Rei’s proposal of Easter event personally himself as the vice president of the student council.

Souma wasn’t pleased with Koga’s appearance but decided to serve him tea nevertheless. Koga accepted the tea but wondered why Souma had decided to stick by Keito since Koga had felt Keito to be a very annoying person. Souma rebutted back that it would be tiring for Koga to be around Rei all the time but later realised that he might have said too much and apologised. Koga too realised that he was the one who had provoked Souma initially and also apologised for snatching Adonis away from Souma when the two of them were happily talking together in the classroom earlier on. 

Souma had noticed that Adonis doesn’t seem to be as energetic as he used to in the past, and would look at Souma with a sad expression at times, thus asking Koga whether he knew what Adonis was troubling about recently since Koga was Adonis’ comrade and might know what’s up with him. But Koga only sighed and remarked that he never expected that Adonis could be that sensitive as he looks huge and dense in Koga’s eyes. He guessed that perhaps Adonis was bothered about Souma after beating the student council at both S1 and DDD.

Souma replied that he knew that it was not Adonis’ desire to defeat him over at S1, but Koga replied that since Souma had not told that to Adonis before, the latter might still have this misunderstanding since ultimately he was part of UNDEAD who had defeated Akatsuki. Koga remembered that Adonis doesn’t have many friends when he first arrived in Japan, and always seems lonely by himself, but Koga noticed that Adonis was really happy when he gets to befriend Souma and hoped Souma would always be Adonis’ friend. He later realised that his words sound like Adonis’ caretaker and requested Souma to forget what he had said earlier on XD (Tsundere Koga~ XDD) Souma simply smiled and remarked that wolves were indeed creatures who live in packs.

Remembering that Koga had mentioned that he had come here to the student council room earlier on because he was bothered about something and wondered what is it since Rei was the one being responsible for the proposal instead of Koga. Koga showed a worried face and revealed that he felt that everything was like a dream to him now, seeing how Rei and UNDEAD had gotten active again. He worried that if he looked away for a moment, everything might disappear in front of him, and admitted that he actually felt very unease as much as he was ashamed of this feeling in him. He realised that from the past till now, he still doesn’t understand what Rei was thinking since he suspected that Rei might be planning something in secret even though on the surface he was doing his idol activities normally and talking to Keito normally about the proposal. 

Keito came over to them and remarked that as much as they seem to be getting along just fine, he found them disturbing his and Rei’s conversation, and asked them to leave if they’re continuing their conversation. Rei agreed with Keito, asking Koga to return back to the club room to inform the others about the status of the proposal and wait for his news instead. He continued on that in order to fit with the schedules of other dreamfes, their live performance “Easter” would have to be carried out earlier than expected. In order to be well prepared for the event, Rei felt that they would have to start with their practices now starting from the basics. Keito suggested Souma join UNDEAD in their practices too, so as to prevent his skills from getting rusty as Akatsuki hasn’t been active recently. 

However, Koga wasn’t pleased with this arrangement, suspecting that Keito and Rei were kicking them out of the student council room just so that they can talk in secret instead. Keito replied coolly them that he’s only saying that since he had felt that Koga was just wasting his time waiting around since he’s not of any use standing around here. In the end, Koga decided to head off with Souma, leaving a word that obviously it seems that they’re an eyesore here. (Koga sounds bitter =w=“)

Souma was initially reluctant to go off by himself since he felt bad being the only one from Akatsuki who gets to practice as much as he knew that he still lacks alot compared to the other members of Akatsuki. Keito assured him that it’s alright, and in fact hoped that he priorities idol activities first before helping Keito with the work at the student council, though it sounds ironic coming from Keito who was always being held up by the student council instead. 

And that’s the end of part 1~ Part 2 will start from their past instead so stay tuned~! (I hope I could finish that soon though ^^)

[paradise-is-within-you]

Guess who's reviving her blog for a little while. :D

I randomly decided to participate in a "Get to know me" tag game that my friend @everyone-needs-a-hoopoe technically tagged me in. Then I realised I might as well as queue up the bunch of drafts I've been sitting on for...over half a year now, whoops.

I’ll use the excuse of “I wasn’t officially tagged” to not tag any blogs myself, but feel free to do this if you want to! ^^

Nickname: Maz, Maza, Avi Zodiac sign: Cancer

Height: *keeps up my habit of ignoring this question for no apparent reason* Last thing you Googled: tab for a cause Favourite music artist: Wow, for some reason it’s been ages since I thought about this. I believe it’s still Two Steps From Hell, or more specifically music by Thomas Bergersen (one of its founders)! Song stuck in my head: “Keep your bright eyes looking up to the sky now. Chin up, be proud. Walk strong like a soldier onto the battleground. Breathe in, breathe out.” [x] Last movie you watched: I think it was The Avengers...? If we’re talking about the last movie I saw in an actual theatre, I don't even know. It's been months. ^^; Why did you choose your URL: It's a little hard to explain. I guess I'm trying to say no small part of the "paradise" (i.e. a state of utter happiness, a probably mental place of perfection, or other such positive things) that we may be looking for depends on ourselves. Not only does the way you perceive the world around you as well as how you feel about yourself make a huge difference to your feelings, you're also the one holding all that potential and imagination and strength you may not realise you have, and it's up to you whether and how to use them. I believe we do have the potential to find or make "paradise" but that really depends on what we think and do. For me, it's also so hard to find an outer "paradise" (no matter how wonderful the circumstances may be) when I'm not satisfied with myself and my inner world, so I suppose I made this URL more as a reminder to myself than anything else. It’s not meant to be a deep and accurate “truth” or anything, just a sort of reflection. Aaaand wow I just talked a lot. XD Do you have any other blogs: Oh dear. Um, two other aesthetic blogs, one fandom blog plus three other blogs for specific fandoms/characters, two blogs for my fave Tumblr posts (also mostly aesthetic), two RP blogs (currently on hiatus), an archival blog to put various references in, and a private blog. Almost all of these are barely active right now, but if I had more time on Tumblr, I'd be posting again on most of them. What did your last relationship teach you: I've...never been in one. ^^; Religious or spiritual: I’ll say religious, although it’s a bit more complicated (and I’ll leave it at that). Favorite colour: Dark blue! Or just about any shade of blue, to be honest.

Average hours of sleep: Holding steady at 6. Oh gosh how come that sounds like a lot and why am I still tired Lucky number: 7. c: Favourite characters: I somehow find this question really overwhelming?? In the order they occurred to me (which says more about my current fandoms than anything else), Asgore Dreemurr, Chara Dreemurr and certain interpretations of Frisk (Undertale), Loki (MCU), Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist), Gareth Haddock II and Nalaagura Ep’ha the Warden (BotGD, a Tumblr RP), Karkat Vantas (Homestuck), Bitterblue (Seven Kingdoms trilogy), and Varian (Frozen Essence). How many blankets do you sleep with: Usually one or two. Dream job: ...Oh gosh, Mel. Can I just quote you on this? Because this is pretty much exactly my dream job. XDD “getting famous off my art or writing, working from home, earning enough to buy stuff for all my friends and donate twenty bucks to every crowdfunding campaign/commissions post that crosses my dash”

Viidog Code Event Story - 黃金のアルパカを探せ! / The Search for the Golden Alpaca

Was pumped up today and thus finished writing up this post in a day ^^ Now I’m on track with my translations for Viidog Code and should be in time for the Halloween event story next~ But first, let’s go on a trip with Class 2~! +W+

As always, the summary of the story can be found below. Translation may not be 100% accurate due to my poor Japanese skills~

Chapter 1: 牧場へ行こう / Let’s Go To The Farm

It was the long awaited holiday break for the detective agency, and Ryohei was all hyped out as he announced that they should plan where they should play during this long break. Hijiri invited “me” to come and join them for their trip, and in the end, both Ryohei and Yu got into a debate on where they should go for their trip. Ryohei had wanted to head to the amusement park, whereas Yu wanted to go to the zoo instead. 

It was impossible for the group to head to both places in one day, and thus this had became a problem for Class 2. Hijiri asked Yu whether he would be alright in heading to these places as they would be very crowded during the holiday, but Yu assured him that he’ll be fine if Hijiri is by his side ^^ Yanagi reminded the others that there’s still a possibility that there’ll be jobs coming in for them even though it’s a holiday, to which Ryohei remarked that Yanagi was still strict as ever ^^;

Hijiri told us that it was Senri who advised us to use this holiday break to relax for the day from our daily work. (So cute that he actually called Senri “Sen-chan” XD), and since this was what Class 1 had instructed us to do, Hijiri said that we should follow their “orders” and enjoy ourselves~ ^^ (Ryohei said that he’s already in his “break” mode once Senri gave his “okay” for them XD) 

Chihiro asked Yanagi to just relax for the day, and even Ryohei remarked that if they’re too tired, they won’t be able to perform well at their job later on. (This was what his grandma had said to him ^^) 

Now it’s back to the trouble of deciding the venue to go for their trip. Hijiri suggested that why not we head to an amusement park that has animals in it, and showed us a flyer.... to a farm OWO It was not just a normal farm (as stated by Hijiri), as it also had a corner which allows visitors to touch the animals, and also various "big toys” there too. (Look at Yu and Ryohei’s shock faces here XDD)

This gets both Yu and Ryohei’s approval, since for Yu he would want to feel the fur of rabbits and capybara, and Ryohei would be able to try out those huge toys that reminds him of athletics. Reading the flyer, Hijiri mentioned that there would also be alpacas over there too, and the farm even had their own “idol”, which was an alpaca who had golden fur. Chihiro was deeply interested in this golden creature and said that he had to go there and see for himself +W+ 

There was also other workshops in the farm which allows visitors to make butter and yogurt using the fresh milk in the farm. Chihiro suggested to Yanagi that they attend these workshops together since it would be an unique experience for them to make their own food. Yanagi blushed as he admitted that this experience could be useful for them in the future if they knew how to make those products. (Seems that Yanagi was actually interested but... he’s too shy to admit it >////<)

Since it was decided that Class 2 shall head to the farm for their trip, Hijiri announced that we shall make our preparations and head out in the morning the next day. As it was the holiday break, there was also a gourmet fest held at the farm, so Hijiri predicted that we would be able to eat some delicious food for our lunch. 

Just then, Suzu-kun heard us mentioning about “gourmet” as he was passing by, and was interested to know why we had gathered in the living room. Yanagi informed him about the gourmet fest which would be held in the farm which we’re going later on, and Suzu-kun was surprised to know that a very famous shop would be at the event, as this shop had not yet opened its outlet in this town. 

Even though Suzu-kun was very interested in the event, unfortunately, their break day was only tomorrow so he only had one day to head to the event. He wondered whether he should shift some of his work and plans around and told Class 2 that he would greet them if he ended up meeting them at the farm there. Suzu-kun asked for a copy of the flyer from Hijiri and waved good bye to them as he started making his own plans for his break day tomorrow.

(Even Yanagi had started to look forward to their trip, and told the others not to expose their tummies in the night when they sleep in case they get a cold XD)

Chapter 2: 電車の旅 / The Train Journey

The next morning, Ryohei and Yu greeted “me” as Class 2 get ready for their  trip for the day. Yanagi had to nag at Hijiri for sleeping while standing, while Hijiri was murmuring in his sleep instead. (He was talking about how he needs to hide and let the monster passed by him first before heading over to save Yanagi... I wonder what kind of a dream it is ^^:)

Chihiro remarked that Yanagi seems to be already tired before they even set off, to which Yanagi revealed that he indeed felt abit tired as he was waking Hijiri up since 5AM OWO” (That’s early... Yanagi, but what time is it now and Hijiri is still yet fully awake? Orz) Yu was surprised at how early Yanagi had woke up, since he was still in his dreams playing with the alpaca at that time ^///^ (Yu’s dream is adorable~ <3) Yanagi said that it was something he was used to do doing already, and asked Ryohei and Yu whether they had gotten a good night sleep rather than getting too excited that they’re unable to go to sleep the night before XD 

Hijiri finally woke up and thanked Yanagi for waking him up so that he would be able to get up earlier than usual today. Yanagi was just relieved that Hijiri had not overslept today and reminded him that since “I’ll” be joining them today, he hoped that Hijiri doesn’t cause any trouble for the group ^^;

We got on the train, and Yu happily announced that he wanted the corner seat and Hijiri to sit next to him ^^ (Ryohei sat on the other side next to Hijiri) Yu asked Hijiri to show him the flyer of the farm again, and he started to get excited wondering where they should explore first. (The petting corner or to see the golden alpaca first?) Ryohei wanted to watch the alpaca first since the flyer was in black and white so he doesn’t know how shiny the alpaca would look like, and thus wanted to know as soon as possible XD 

As Hijiri had brought along a video camera, he decided to use it to film the group. But Hijiri wasn’t good in handling the camera, and Yanagi worried that he might ended up pressing the wrong thing and spoiling it instead. In the end, “I” offered to help Hijiri to operate the video camera, as Hijiri asked Yu to speak in front to the camera and tell everyone what we’re going to do today at the farm. 

The reason why Hijiri wanted to to record down Class 2′s outing today was to showcase them as part of Class 2′s growing record at the end of the year, but Yu found that to be too embarrassed and rejected to do it. (Aww... Yu~~ TWT) But in the end, Yu decided to do it seeing that “I” was interested to watch it XD (Yu just can’t win against “me” I guess XD)

Yu said shyly that we’re going to the farm today, and he was looking forward to seeing the golden alpaca. Hijiri complimented that he’s cute, but Yu said that he should compliment him to be “good-looking” instead as “cute” XD (But you’re too cute Yu >///<) As the train started to approach the farm, the train started playing music related to the farm ^^; Chihiro found the music really calming and soothing though, and even requested “me” to film the scenery outside of the train.

As the train was coming to a stop at the station we’re supposed to alight, Yanagi reminded Ryohei and Yu to sit at their seats and wait for the doors to open before alighting. (Yanagi sounds like a mum XD) 

Chapter 3: 牧場の楽しみ方 / Fun Times at the Farm

Yu started to get really excited when he reached the farm, exclaiming that there’s an area where one could feed rabbits over there and wanted to run there. Yanagi stopped him and lectured him that he shouldn’t be running off by himself, while Hijiri asked Yu whether he was alright with the crowd as the place was very crowded. Chihiro was surprised that how lively and crowded the farm was, since he was expected it to be calming and relaxing. 

Suddenly, Chihiro shouted out in surprised as he was shocked to see a cow walking on two legs. Ryohei laughed and remarked that it’s just a mascot and there’s actually a person inside the cow’s outfit. The mascots (turns out that there’s two of them) approached them, and Yu recognised them as “Ussi” (a male cow mascot) and “Capybara”. Ussi and Capybara introduced themselves as the friends of the golden alpaca - Mohun. 

Yu timidly asked the mascots whether he could shake hands with them, which they agreed, and even offered to take a photo with us too. Yanagi offered to help us take the picture, but a staff appeared and offered to take the photo for us instead, so Yanagi also joined in the photo taking. The mascots encouraged us to pose in the same pose as them, and everyone followed~ (It was quite an interesting pose, right foot kicking out, left hand placed on the waist, and right hand posing like one is drink a glass of milk XD)

After the mascots had left, Yanagi asked Yu whether he was afraid of the two mascots. Yu answered that he’s not afraid of them, since they were really adorable looking. (Yu is more adorable than them~ <3)

Ryohei remarked that he had the desire to drink milk now that he had posed that pose, and got Yu to join him. Yanagi initially wanted to stop Yu since Yu always had dislike drinking milk, but Chihiro stopped him from doing that as it might be a good chance for Yu to get over his dislike of milk this time. Yanagi felt that it might too much to expect Yu to get over his dislike of milk suddenly, but Chihiro suggested that they attend the workshop and made products made of milk, since Yu might be interested to eat them instead. In the end, Yanagi, Chihiro and Hijiri decided to make them while Ryohei and Yu went off to the petting corner and to look at the golden alpaca. Yanagi was worried about leaving the two youngest members off by themselves, but “I” volunteered to go with them too, so Yanagi felt more at ease letting them go in the end ^^

It was then decided that we’ll all meet up again at 12PM. Ryohei started pulling “my” hand impatiently towards the next area while Yanagi called after them not to cause any trouble for “me” ^^;

With Ryohei and Yu gone, the rest of Class 2 could finally get started with their workshop to make some delicious butter, though Yanagi reminded Hijiri that he shouldn’t touch those electronics if it’s required to use them XD (I guess Yanagi is really afraid that Hijiri is going to break them or something ^^:)

Chapter 4: キャンディを召し上がれ / Here’s Some Candies

Ryohei and Yu pulled “me” towards the green field, where Yu exclaimed that he’s glad that he’s now free to explore the place. Even though Yu had seen the website of the farm and knew how shiny the golden alpaca is, he read that the actual creature was even more beautiful than what was shown on the page and thus wanted to see it for himself soon. 

However, the place where the alpaca could be seen isn’t listed on the map, and thus Ryohei challenged Yu to compete who would be the first to find the golden alpaca. Yu agreed to the competition, on the condition that “I” would go with him, but Ryohei felt that it’s unfair seeing that it seems like 2 VS 1 situation with this arrangement ^^: 

Suddenly, Ussi appeared again and apologised to us that the map that was given to us was an old version. He gave us a new map in exchange of the old one, and even offered us some milk candy that was made by his girlfriend - Hanako. (It sounds like an advertisment, saying that they’re made by fresh milk and really delicious. And if they like it.... they could always come to the store and buy them +W+)

Yu didn’t want the candy after hearing that it was made of milk, but Ryohei tried it and said that it was really delicious to the point that he considered buying them at the store later on to share with the others at the detective agency. After seeing Ryohei’s reaction and asking “me” whether it was that good, Yu decided to try one for himself. Even though Yu found that milk had a weird taste when he tried it usually, unexpectedly this milk candy doesn’t have that weird taste and was really delicious. He claimed that he had actually tried eating something he dislikes, and asked for a praise from “me”. This made Ryohei jealous and he told Yu that he’s being unfair XD (*Gives Ryohei some love too~ *pats pats*)

Looking at the new map, Yu identified that there’s a place called “Mohun’s place” and realised that it’s where we’re at currently. However, the golden alpaca was nowhere to be seen, and Ryohei wondered perhaps it was hiding from them. There was a crowd creating a commotion at the area, as they wondered whether the alpaca was on break today. (That would be sad for them if it’s really true TWT)

Suddenly, Ryohei smelled something really good from a distance away and decided to ran to the place instead. Yu hurriedly ran after him, telling him that if Ryohei get lost, Yu and “me” would be lectured by Yanagi for losing him, and Yu would hate to get nagged on by Yanagi ^^;

We ran into the woods, and realised that the place we’re at was where the gourmet festival would be held. Ryohei called out to us as he spotted Suzu-kun and Naoto over there. Yu was still shy before Naoto, that Naoto had to ask him to please get used to him since they’re colleagues for quite a while already ^^;

Suzu-kun explained that Naoto was actually in a bad mood and probably aimed at Yu just now with his sarcasm, since he didn’t get what he was looking for. The item which Naoto was looking for was a knit sweater made by the fur of the golden alpaca, but he realised that it was not an item that was sold at the farm, but instead a prize at the food contest. Naoto wanted to participate in the contest and win the first prize, if not he won’t feel happy about it. (Imagine seeing that item you had wanted being given to others in the end ^^;)

Suzu-kun informed us that the contest starts at 1PM, and it was 12PM now so there’s still one more hour to go. We realised that it was time for us to meet up with the others and thus quickly left the place to make our way back.

Chapter 5: 2班印の乳製品 / The Milk Products Made By Class 2

On the other hand, Yanagi, Chihiro and Hijiri were participating in the workshop, where they could make butter and yogurt. There were also workshops teaching them to make soft serve icecream, but since they could not eat it right away, they decided not to participate in that workshop. 

Yanagi offered to be the one handling the utensils in the workshop, as he’s afraid that Hijiri might broke them. In return, Hijiri decided to the cameraman instead, recording down the moments where Hijiri was hard at work in making these products ^^ Yanagi told Hijiri that there’s no merit for him even if he filmed him (sounds like he doesn’t want to be filmed that much), and Chihiro added that Hijiri could film him more instead XD

Chihiro got a surprise again when he saw the mascot again. However, the mascot greeted them as if it’s seeing them for the first time, that Chihiro found that it seems abit cold seeing that they’ve just interacted moments ago. Yanangi guessed that it’s a different person inside the costume and asked Chihiro to just forgive them and let go of it. 

Turns out that the tutor of the workshop was also a mascot (Hanako), which Yanagi pitied the person in the costume, as he guessed that it must be difficult trying to teach while wearing the costume. However, the appearance of Hanako gets a huge and happy reaction from the kids that participated in the workshop, that Hijiri felt that perhaps they should have gotten Ryohei and Yu to join them afterall.

Hijiri asked Hanako whether there’s any products that’s suitable for children who dislike milk, to which she assured them that the products that they’re making today was definitely suitable for children who dislikes milk. (Really...?)

First up was the lesson of making butter, where they poured cream into a jar and started shaking it. Amazingly the cream started to solidify and turned into butter as they shake the jar, which made Chihiro felt really surprised and accomplished at their finished product.

Next up was Yanagi’s turn to be making the yogurt. Hanako complimented that Yanagi’s cute and that ended up making him blushed as he was embarrassed >///<

Yogurt would require the cream to go through a round of removing bacteria first, and after that it just needs to go into a special container to be mixed. Yanagi was amazed that the yogurt was creating just by mixing, to which Hijiri remarked that Yanagi looks really happy. This made him embarrassed as he claimed that he’s just surprised since he had never seen such a process before ^////^

Hanako asked them whether they would want to participate in the contest to be held later on. The contest was one where they would get to compete against other team by answering quizzes and playing games as a team, and the prize for winning the contest would be to take a photo with the farm’s idol - Mohun! As Mohun was really popular it was hard for visitors to take a photo with it usually, and thus ultimately chosen as one of the grand prize for the contest.

Chapter 6: 目指せ, モフーンと記念撮影 / Goal: The Souvenir Photo Taken with Mohun

After their workshop, Yanagi was impatiently waiting for us to get back as we’re late to the meeting time. Chihiro remarked that perhaps Ryohei and Yu were actually having too much fun riding on the back of the golden alpaca. (That’s quite something to imagine about.)

We finally arrived back at the meeting spot, with Ryohei apologizing for being late as we’re talking with Suzu-kun and Naoto just now. 

(Yanagi was glad that “I’ve” taken good care of Ryohei and Yu, and he thanked “me”~ No problem Yanagi, always glad to be of service +W+)

Hijiri asked us whether we had a chance to meet Mohun, which unfortunately nope, since Yu mentioned that even though we had head to Mohun’s place, it seems that it wasn’t there. A large crowd of people had gathered at the place though, and Yu wondered whether something had happened. Ryohei also informed them about the contest and the grand prize was the knit sweater made by Mohun’s fur, to which Yanagi added that one could also take a photo with Mohun as part of the grand prize too.

Yu wanted to participate in the contest, saying that he could just hide behind Hijiri. Unfortunately, Yanagi informed Yu that Hijiri would not be participating in the contest since one of the rounds in the contest was cooking. (And there’s no way Yanagi would let Hijiri cook I guess ^^:) However, Chihiro told Yu not to worry since he would be replacing Hijiri and appear in the contest, so Yu could always hide behind him ^^ (Nice to see Chihiro being a reliable big brother here~) 

As the most members a team could have was up to four person, it was ultimately decided that the four members would be Yu, Chihiro, Ryohei and “me”. Hijiri encouraged “me” to join in the contest, saying that the others would be motivated to work hard if “I” was there with them, even Chihiro said that he would feel more at ease with “me” accompanying him since if not it would seems that he’s the only one leading the two kids ^^;

Soon the contest started, with the announcer talking about the grand prize that the winners would get to take a photo with Mohun, and also the young children would be able to sit on it too. Ryohei said that Yu would definitely be small enough to sit on Mohun, which pissed Yu off though as he rebutted back that Ryohei’s tiny too XD

The announcer assured the contestants that even if they lose they would still get entrance tickets to come back to the farm again next time. Yanagi deduced that it won’t be a loss to the farm if they had given out free entrance tickets since the tickets aren’t that expensive, and the farm would still get to earn some profits when the visitors bought more of their products. (Business strategy~)

The first round would select only four teams to head to the second round, and the second round would eliminate another two more teams, leaving the remaining two groups to face off with each other to win the grand prize. 

Ryohei noticed that Yu seems to have lost his spirit after seeing the audience, and thinking that his shyness might have act up again, he told Yu that the audience were all looking at Ussi and Hanako, and not at him instead. Chihiro joined him and told Yu that he could always hide behind him, and told them to all work hard together so that they could take photo with the golden alpaca in the end ^^

The first round required the contestants to catch as many rabbits as they could within the time limit. Ryohei remarked that this was such a “service” round for them, since Class 2 were really good at catching animals XD Even Yanagi felt that they might be playing cheat since this was technically part of their job, but Chihiro told them that they had practised such skills for this day actually XD Even Hijiri agreed with what he had said, and told us that he’ll be filming us in action as we catch the rabbits ^^ 

Turns out that our team (Team Dogs) performed really well, working in combination to catch the rabbits, and made it beautifully through the first round~

The second round would require the contestants to answer some quizzes, where the topic would be regarding the knowledge of animals and farm life. Team Dogs also made through it easily and thus made it to the final round, where we had to go through a face off with our competitor through cooking!

Chapter 7: 負けられない戦い / The Battle Which Can’t Be Lost

As the final round was about to start, the crowd were cheering really loudly, making Chihiro felt like he was a popular person XD For Yu it was a terrifying experience though, as he doesn’t want the limelight to fall on himself. 

The announcer showed off the two teams that would compete against each other in the final round. One of them were Team Dogs, which was our team, and the other team was... “Suzu-kun is mine!” Team! (From that team’s name you could guess whose team it is ^^;)

Naoto and Suzu-kun appeared, with Suzu-kun commenting that the team’s name sounded really weird since there’s his name in it. Ryohei was surprised to find that Naoto and Suzu-kun had entered in the contest and even went onto the finals, to which Yu had to diss him that he had not discovered at all seeing how Naoto and Suzu-kun were obstructing them already in earlier rounds ^^; Chihiro felt that rather than obstructing, it’s just Suzu-kun’s team were faster in pressing the button and answering the questions before them during the quiz round earlier. 

Seeing that Suzu-kun was in the opponent team, Yu felt that it was impossible for us to win them, but he still wanted to work hard to win in the end since he wanted to take a photo with Mohun~ 

As the last round would be a cooking contest, both teams had 30 minutes to prepare a dish suitable for the kids, as the children in the audience would be the judges of this competition. They could use anything that they could find in the farm for their dishes, and anything that was brought in from outside of the farm was not allowed. 

Chihiro found that the name of Suzu-kun’s team was kind of ridiculous, but Ryohei found it very suitable for them since this was a catchphrase of Naoto~ (”Suzu-kun is mine!”) Naoto overheard them and agreed with what Ryohei had said XD

Suzu-kun in the meanwhile was already deciding which ingredient to use for their team’s dish. Naoto said that he wanted to eat pudding made by Suzu-kun, with eggs specially produced by this farm. Suzu-kun gave a glum face as he told Naoto that they’re supposed to think of what they should make for the audience to eat, not for Naoto to eat instead XD However, Naoto rebutted saying that the children likes pudding too, so it’s fitting to make it for the contest.

Suzu-kun ignored Naoto’s request and continued looking through the ingredients available to him. He stretched out for some sausages, and got the attention of Hanako who complimented him that he had some really good taste of what to choose. This triggered Naoto’s jealousy though, as he stepped forward and told Hanako not to talk to Suzu-kun so casually, since she already has a partner called “Ussi”. He claimed that Suzu-kun is his and thus if one wants to talk to Suzu-kun, they would need to get his permission first ^^; Since Hanako already has Ussi as her boyfriend, Naoto advised her not to set her eyes on other guys since Ussi would feel sad about her actions. (Why are you suddenly giving people relationship advice Naoto? XD) In the end, Naoto ended off his lecture by telling Hanako not to get near to Suzu-kun. (Naoto’s overprotectiveness and obsession over Suzu-kun is showing here ^^;)

However, Hanako doesn’t seems scared of what Naoto had said earlier on, and continued to talk about the sausages to Suzu-kun. The sausages were a product the farm was very proud of, coming out from their ham and sausages factory here. She explained about the spices used in the sausages to increase the appetite of the people eating it, and claimed that it’s very popular among the kids. 

Suzu-kun wanted to use the sausages after that, but Naoto insisted on making pudding, saying that the children loves pudding too, and even insulted Hanako. In the end, Suzu-kun agreed to make pudding for Naoto’s sake, and hoped that he would stop insulting Hanako. Hanako praised Suzu-kun for being such a gentle guy to protect her (from being insulted ^^:), and told him that she’s getting even more interested in him. Even Suzu-kun realised that Hanako seems to be saying that on purpose to agitate Naoto ^^;

Chapter 8: 事件は突然に / A Sudden Incident

Even though there were some happenings occuring during the contest (as stated by the announcer), both teams had completed their dishes in the end. Naoto approached Ussi and told him to control his girlfriend, since she had set her eyes on “his” Suzu-kun. Hanako introduced the pudding made by Suzu-kun to the audience, saying that they look as delicious as the person who had made it (Suzu-kun), and that pissed off Naoto once again ^^; 

On the other hand, Team Dogs had made a simpler menu, which is cooked hot dogs! It also had a special sauce to go with them, the special yogurt made in this farm~ It was now up to the audience to try out both dishes and vote for the one which they had found to be more delicious. 

Suzu-kun talked about the dish which he had prepared, which was pudding. Even though pudding was one that everyone was used to eating, Suzu-kun felt that with the fresh ingredients available in the farm, it would taste abit different from the pudding that one would normally buy. He had also changed the amount of milk and sugar used in making the pudding, and created a specially made version of pudding in the end. Suzu-kun was confident that his pudding would definitely be delicious, and told the audience that he even had hand-written recipe available for anyone who was interested to try making it with the ingredients found in the farm. (Way to promote the farm’s product Suzu-kun ^^;)

The announcer was amazed by the service provided by Suzu-kun, and said that the pudding might even ended up being a new product by the farm. (Please give credit to Suzu-kun if you decided to use his recipe for a product Orz)

Chihiro and Ryohei were next in introducing the sausages to the audience, saying that though the yogurt sauce was something most would not expected to be, it actually goes well with the salty sausages. Both sides were really popular with kids as they were swarmed with them. Naoto remarked that the kids had low taste in food and thus would be surprised by how detailed and delicious the food made by Suzu-kun, to which Suzu-kun said that Naoto being a picky eater shouldn’t be saying this about the children ^^; (That’s mean, Naoto ><”) 

The voting period was soon over and now it’s the time to announce the results. However, just before the announcer announce the winner, Capybara (one of the mascots from earlier) appeared and told the audience a bad news. It seems that Mohun had escaped! She asked anyone if they had spotted it, since it would be very obvious to see it if it was walking around at the venue. 

It was indeed bad news for both teams, as who would have expected that their grand prize would disappear. Yu immediately volunteer to find Mohun, and Naoto also offered to help too, since without Mohun, he won’t be able to get his hands on the knit sweater made by Mohun’s fur too. The announcer was surprised that we’re actually detectives, and was wondering whether he should find the owner to talk about the payment with us. However, Hijiri assured him that we’re doing this as a service to them, the memories that we’re getting this time would be enough for the repayment ^^

The announcer told us that if we’re able to find Mohun, he would offer us the chance to all take photo with Mohun. And thus, we decided to split into two teams to search for Mohun.

Chapter 9: 結成! アルパカ搜索隊 / Set Up! The Alpaca Search Team!

Yu, Ryohei and Yanagi searched the fields, but couldn’t manage to find Mohun even though it wasn’t such a small animal. Chihiro felt that it was weird that Mohun couldn’t be spotted at all since it should be very easy to see it since it was a “golden creature”. Hijiri told us the information provided by the staff who took care of Mohun. The door to its shed was opened, and it seems that Mohun had escaped when the staff had his / her eyes off it for just a short moment. Hijiri guessed that perhaps there was a reason why the alpaca had escaped, with Yanagi being all pumped up since this would be their first time searching for a alpaca.

As Yu had done some research on the animals before we came to the farm, Chihiro asked him whether he had knew anything about the lifestyle of alpaca which could aid their search Mohun. Yu remembered that alpaca would vomit out grass if they want to scare anyone away, which Ryohei found that it wasn’t a very nice act to do by the alpacas ^^; Yanagi thought that it was something alpaca would do to protect themselves from danger and didn’t think it was a rude act to do, though he agreed with Ryohei that it was quite a smelly act to do though ^^:

Yu also remembered that alpacas would always live in groups, to which Chihiro deduced that Mohun must have wanted to meet its friends again and thus escaped from his shed. Ryohei remarked that Mohun must have felt lonely after being separated from its friends, since the others were able to live together in a group yet it was the only one left out from them. 

In the end, everyone decided to head to the alpaca pen in search of Mohun, while Yanagi thanked and prasied Yu for his knowledge, and said that even if it’s not for a job or work related task, it’s still very important to read up on stuff. “I” patted Yu on the head to praise him, and Ryohei and Chihiro also joined in, wanted to be patted by “me”. Hijiri asked Yanagi whether he would want to be patted by “me”, but he blushed and asked why Hijiri was asking him this, and also urged us to head to the next place XD (Yanagi is seriously adorable when he’s flustered~)

When we headed to the alpaca pen though, we could only find white coloured or brown coloured alpaca. Ryohei started to suspect that perhaps the golden alpaca was actually dyed gold, but Yu told him that he had read on the website that Mohun’s fur had started to turn gold one day, and thus considered a really rare and special case in this world. Chihiro urged us to quickly find Mohun, since if it wandered out of the farm, there’s a great possibility of it being captured and taken away by anyone. 

Yanagi informed us that Suzu-kun had contacted him earlier on, and they couldn’t find Mohun either. Hijiri suggested that all of us here split into two groups to further search for Mohun, and to contact each other frequently and share any information which we could find along the way. Hijiri, Ryohei and Yanagi would form a team, while Chihiro, Yu and “me” would form the other team.

As both teams made their way back to the fields, Chihiro opened his eyes wide to look for any clues that would lead us to Mohun. However there wasn’t even a speck of Mohun’s golden fur on the ground. Yu started to worry whether Mohun had left the farm, but Yanagi assured him that the farm was surrounded by high fences to prevent animals from escaping, and thus deduced that Mohun must still be in this farm somewhere. 

It was soon sunset, and Hijiri was sad to inform us that we would have to stop our search for Mohun once the sun had completely set into darkness. (I guess it would be too dangerous to search for Mohun as it was too dark by then.) Ryohei felt disappointed and regret, as searching for animals was Class 2′s forte. Yu told us not to give up now, and that he would definitely find Mohun before the sun completely sets. 

Chapter 10: 消えた理由 / The Reason It Disappeared

We ended up splitting into two teams again to search for Mohun, and Chihiro thought that we seems to have missed out a place while we’re looking for Mohun. However, he was tired and couldn’t work his brains, and hope to drink a cup of tea at this point of time.

Suddenly, Yu suggested that we used Mohun’s favourite grass and waved it around to see if it would attract him out to us. Chihiro thought that it was a good idea, and felt that Mohun would definitely come after smelling the smell of the grass. However, it ended up attracting a bunch of sheeps instead, that Chihiro was fully surrounded by them, and was surprised that the grass had such an attractive power to these herbivore ^^; 

Yu was also surrounded by the sheeps on the other side, and quickly asked for help in saving him. We did managed to save him in the end, but his clothes were all stained with fur all over it by then ^^; The sheeps had all ran away once the grass had ran out for them, but Mohun still didn’t appear at all. 

We met Suzu-kun and Naoto, who was also still searching for Mohun. Naoto complained that Mohun was quite a troublesome alpaca, since it had tortured “his” poor Suzu-kun to search for it. However, he guessed that this was the attitude of an “idol”, and confessed that Suzu-kun was his idol actually. Naoto won’t be able to reject any work which Suzu-kun asked him to do XD (Naoto’s sudden confession XDD) Suzu-kun just felt that Naoto was speaking weird things now that he’s tired ^^:

Suzu-kun said that they had found everywhere which they could find, to which Chihiro suddenly remembered where they had left out from their search - The shed which Mohun stays in and had escaped from. Saying that the culprit would definitely return to their crime scene, Chihiro deduced that perhaps Mohun had returned to his home. However, upon arriving there, the staff was disappointed to inform them that Mohun had not returned at all D:

Naoto started to get fed up regarding the search and wanted to go home already. Yu didn’t want to give up as he thought of how Mohun must have felt so lonely and crying at this moment. Naoto tried to comfort Yu not to worry, since if the alpaca had escaped into the streets, it would definitely cause a huge commotion and would be reported all over the social network. He couldn’t say anymore comforting words though, and gave a “baton touch” to Suzu-kun to do that instead. Suzu-kun laughed and remarked that he had seen a rare scene where Naoto would actually encourage someone XD

Chihiro asked the staff whether the shed they’re at now was Mohun’s private shed. The staff answered yes and that as Mohun’s popularity exploded, alot of people would take photo of Mohun once it came out from its shed. Chihiro deduced that there has to be another shed inhabited by the other alpacas and guessed that Mohun might have headed there, since even though we had went to the alpaca pen, we had not head to their shed yet.

As expected, Mohun was there at the shed with the other alpaca. Seeing this scene, Chihiro felt bad about taking Mohun back to his own shed since it’s obvious that Mohun had escaped here as it wanted to be with its friends. Yu said that he could understand Mohun’s feelings seeing its lonely face, and admitted that he had felt lonely and sad when he was first separated from his family and came to the detective agency. He had felt worried and scared since he was surrounded by people he doesn’t know back then, and have to do these work provided by the detective agency. Yu had read that Mohun could perform alot of tricks from the farm’s website, and guessed that Mohun must have worked really hard all this while. (Aww~~ TWT)

Yu assured Mohun that it would be alright, since he would inform and beg the staff to let Mohun stays with its friends, and so Mohun won’t feel lonely anymore when it’s with them. 

Suddenly, Mohun started kneeling, which Naoto explained that it meant that its heart had opened up to Yu. Chihiro praised that Yu had really grown as a detective, as he was able to read the expressions of the animals now. (Yu definitely suits to be a pet detective ^^)

Chapter 11: ニットのめくもり / The Warmth of the Knit Sweater

It was night time when we returned to the staff and informed them Mohun’s whereabouts. The staff assured it that they would not let it be lonely anymore, and told us to get ready to take a photo with Mohun. Chihiro remarked that this was a photo opportunity that took a lot of hard work for them to get it, so they would definitely be able this experience when they looked at the photo in the future. 

Ryohei asked the staff whether a small child would be able to sit on Mohun’s back, and assured Yu that he’s asking him for his sake since he had wanted Yu to ride on it in the first place and Yu was the person who had found Mohun in the end. (Aww~ Ryohei sound like a such a sweet big brother here caring for Yu~ ^////^)

The staff requested everyone to pose the iconic pose that was taught to them earlier, but Naoto refused to do it. Suzu-kun encouraged him to do it together with us but Naoto told him that this sort of things was something Suzu-kun should know that he’s bad with it. Since Naoto didn’t want to be do that pose and be in the photo, Hanako suggested that she shall stand next to Suzu-kun instead. That immediately pissed off Naoto as he claimed that the spot next to Suzu-kun was his special spot. (I guess that means Naoto had no choice but to join in the photoshoot in the end ^^;) 

There was also another gift given by the staff, the knit sweater made by Mohun’s fur. Ryohei said that Yu should take it since he had worked the hardest, but Yu decided to give the sweater to Naoto instead, as he knew that Naoto had wanted the sweater very much. (That’s so sweet of Yu ^^) He was scared to approach Naoto and talked to him by himself though, but Hijiri encouraged him to do that, and told him that Naoto would definitely be very happy to receive the knit sweater. 

In the end, Yu decided to approach Naoto and gave him the sweater. The scene was a touching one for Hijiri, that he remarked that no matter how many times he had seen it, he would get touched over and over again ^^;

Hijiri told us that he would showed us the video that he had taken today when we get back to the agency, while Ryohei told Mohun that we’ll definitely come back to the farm again on another day ^^

Chapter 12: 旅の終わり / End of the Trip

It was the next morning when we took the train back. The farm had given us entrance tickets to the farm as a reward for finding Mohun too, and Hijirir had also bought lots of souvenirs back for the others at the detective agency. (Milk manju and fluffy cakes) Yanagi sighed as he remarked that Hanako was a character which left a strong impression on him, to which Hijiri happily announced that he’s going to show everyone the embarrassed expression of Yanagi when Hanako flirts with him ^^; 

It was the first time for Yu to stay overnight at somewhere other than the detective agency, so he admitted that he was too excited to fall asleep the night before. He had found the trip to be really enjoyable, but also very nostalgic at the same time. He had remembered the time when he had first joined the agency when he met Mohun, and Chihiro remarked that Yu had cried every night at that time. Ryohei added that even though they had started working together at that time, Yu had not spoken a word to him at all. Yanagi also said that if he spoke to Yu at that time, he would ran away and hide behind something instead, and that made it difficult for Yanagi to look for him. The only person Yu had gotten close easily and fast was Hijiri, and Yu explained that it was because Hijiri was big and easy for him to hide behind him, and even if Yu ran away from him he won’t get angry either. (I guess perhaps Yanagi and Ryohei would get angry at Yu initially for his actions ^^;)

Hearing this, Hijiri was glad that he’s huge as it provided the opportunity for him to get close with Yu, and further leads to Yu being in a good relationship with everyone else later on. He hoped that Yu would further be closer with others from the other classes as well in the future, that Yu told him that he would work hard for it even though it won’t be something that would happen suddenly~ (Ganbatte Yu~!) 

Chihiro remarked that Naoto wasn’t a bad person. Even though he may seem like a problematic person, he’s someone who could be relied on as a class leader. Even Yanagi agreed and said that Naoto was a good class leader that had fulfilled his responsibility if one ignore the attitude problem of his, and hoped that Hijiri would learn more from him XD Hijiri complained that Yanagi’s gaze on him was painful XDD

Yanagi praised “me” for doing a good job as an assistant, and had even helped Class 2 alot on their work. Ryohei guessed that at this rate that “I’m” improving, “I” might be able to attain a detective license in the near future, and asked “me” whether “I’ll” like to join their class when that happens. However, Yanagi deduced that Kuki would be mad at them if they gotten “me” over to their class. Yu was glad if “I” joined them though, even though he won’t like if it’s someone he doesn’t know. 

Hijiri said that there would be times where work can be hectic, so he hoped that “I’ll” join them for outings like this in the future to relax, since there’re still places which we can go in the future, like the zoo and the amusement park. Chihiro felt that he was satisfied in seeing animals for now and would rather to head to the amusement park, since there’re rides that he’s interested to get on~ +W+

As we arrived at the entrance of the detective agency, Yanagi reminded us that we had to write a report since the detective had knew about the commotion yesterday at the farm. Hijiri mentioned that Kuki and Tsubasa had expressed envy at our situation, saying that they wanted to go to the farm too. Chihiro said that he’s going to make them even more envious by telling the tales of what happened at the farm to them, and got Yu to join him too. Even though Yu was still shy about talking about his trip to the others, he said he would work hard if “I” stayed next to him~ ^^ (Of course I would, awww~ Yu is seriously so adorable here ^^)

And that’s the end of the event story~ Overall it was quite a fun time to interact and enjoyed on a trip with Class 2, it totally feels like a class outing to me XD Great that we get to see Suzu-kun and Naoto along the way too, though Naoto’s obsession... I’m not sure whether I want to laugh or cringe or both ^^;

The spotlight for this event story was none other than Yu, he was seriously so adorable being shy at times, but really hyper and expressive when he’s all bubbly like that~ This other side of Yu was adorable too, though sometimes he can be quite demanding too XD (I like how he suddenly gets all angry and serious when talking to Ryohei at times too) 

Listening to the others talking about Yu’s initial days at the detective agency was interesting too, it’s like knowing abit of his back story and wanting to know more~ Too bad his past won’t ever get revealed TWT TWT I wanted to see more of Yu~~

Next up would be the Halloween event, which is also a fun yet thrilling event story~! Hoping that I’ll be able to finish by Halloween~ *Finger cross*
