A transcript of part 2 of juicedup14 playthrough/translation of Kirigiri Sou, which you can watch here.

Again thanks to @drmedicsgamesurgery​ for helping me work on the transcript.

“What an amazing garden……”

I look up at the tree and say.

A. “You can practice tree climbing indoors.”

B. “This tree is……alive!?”

C. “This tree is……crying?”

(In this part, he translates the above text differently than from the end of the last part. I’ll consider this text the accurate translation.)

juicedup14 chooses A

“You can practice tree climbing indoors.”

“Let’s look for someone. They should be on the second floor.”

Kirigiri acts naturally and doesn’t even pay attention to my joke, while heading up the stairs.

“Wait. Let me ask you before that, is the person you’re looking for an acquaintance of yours?”

“No.”

I thought she would just say ‘It’s a secret’ again or something, but her answer was quite unexpected.

Even so I can’t understand the situation. There is no doubt about it, Kirigiri came to this mansion not as a coincidence. She had some kind of goal in mind, and came here by her own will.

However she says she doesn’t know the owner of the mansion.

At least, it would be useless to ask if it’s her friend’s house.

If so, what is her goal?

“I’ve heard a lot of rumors about this mansion.”

Kirigiri said suddenly.

“Rumors?”

“When you get lost and enter the mansion-you do not leave. ‘A man eating mansion’ is in the forest is what they say.

“‘A man eating mansion’? Why didn’t you say so before? We’re already lost aren’t we!”

I said it in a way that sounds like I’m blaming her.

“Of course there isn’t such a mansion is there? In terms of logic. Such as a cat with a long torso, or a capybara with a human face, it’s the same as those kinds of urban legends.”

“No, there’s something weird about this mansion! Why isn’t anyone coming out? Oddly there’s no signs of life……moreover why would somebody be living inside this kind of forest, are you trying to say there’s someone living inside the forest?”

“That’s why we’re going to go see them?”

Kirigiri says, regaining her composure.

I don’t know what to think, I’m thinking about way too much. Nevermind about the mansion, what kind of person is Kirigiri Kyouko? She keeps becoming more and more elusive.

“Hey, tell me already. What are-”

At that time, from out of nowhere a telephone ring was heard.

“Whoa! There’s a phone somewhere.”

I run to where the noise is coming from.

However that was where the noise was coming from-from the garden bed.

I timidly get closer and closer to the large tree, it seems like the noise of the telephone was coming from inside the tree.

“What is this……what’s the meaning of this?”

I try to find where the origin of the phone was coming from, I went around the tree once.

However there is nowhere to find a telephone.

A. “I see, this is mys-tree-ous.”

B. “What a long cord……where’s the part where I speak into?”

C. “Sometimes trees grow and absorb things that are connected to it.”

juicedup14 chooses C

“Sometimes trees and absorb things that are connected to it.”

I try to show her my knowledge, and say something that I’ve heard from TV. Sometimes things that are left by trees like bikes get absorbed into the trunk, and sometimes after many years later they move all the way to the top.

“Basically a telephone was left by this tree sometime, and the tree grew and absorbed it inside itself.”

Kirigiri says that, impressed.

“That’s right, my dear Watson.”

“Well then can you pick up the phone, Sherlock?”

Kirigiri points to the bell noise towards the tree.

She’s……not ‘Sherlock Holmes’ she is more like “Ichi Yumi/Hito Yasumin

(juicedup14 didn’t translate this last part, so drmedicsgamesurgery​ tried to translated what the text says. They don’t know what the name is suppose to say, but they gave their best guess.)

And just like that the ringing stops.

We give up on the phone, with nothing else to do we go away from the garden bed.

And then-

Clatter……clatter……

Somewhere far away, we can hear the clatter of metal being moved around.

Clatter……clatter……

What is it this time?

Is something moving?

Me and Kirigiri look at each other, and close our mouths, and try to listen.

Clatter……clatter……

I get close to the door by the stairs, and try to listen.

-It’s quiet. I tried turning the door knob but it’s locked, I can’t open it. It’s not here.

From the entrance I go to the right-handed door.

Clatter……clatter……

Right here!

There’s something on the other side.

While trying to be as quiet as possible Kirigiri gets close to the door.

And grabs the knob, and forcefully opens the door.

And it looked like a reception room. By the fireplace a sofa was lying there, on the walls there were bookshelves lining them.

There were no other lights inside the room, except for the redness of the fireplace, there was some sort of silhouette on the sofa.

The silhouette looked like a person.

-Someone is sitting on the sofa.

They haven’t noticed that we’re here.

“Um……”

Out of nowhere I tried to talk to him.

However the figure did not turn around, they stayed looking at the fireplace.

Kirigiri goes around the sofa, and looks at the person sitting down.

Letting out a sigh, she lowers her shoulders.

“This, is just an armor.”

Armor!?

I go in front of the sofa to make sure.

Just as Kirigiri says, there is a western-styled full body armor sitting down.

One whole piece of metal armor, sitting in a person-like shape.

“Was the metal sound that we heard just now……”

The movement of the armor?

Could there be-someone in the armor?

A. Being curious, I look inside the helmet.

B. I feel danger. And I try not to get close.

juicedup14 chooses A

There is a deep darkness inside the other side of the slits. It doesn’t look like there could be someone in there.

Feeling a bit more calm, without thinking about it I take off the mask.

And jumping out from the front face mask, all of a sudden green leaves start spreading out. Almost like it’s spitting out leaves as it’s blood, and thinking of that I gasp.

It seems the leaves were squished inside the armor, and jumped out when it opened.

“What the hell is this, it’s so weird……”

“Looks like they’re growing plants inside the armor.”

“An armor styled plant?”

No matter the case you can’t call it a good hobby.

Even if the inside is a plant, why did it sound like the armor was moving?

I curiously look at the armor up and down. However Kirigiri is more interested in the fireplace.

“Looks like something’s being burnt.”

Kirigiri takes the metal rod by the fireplace, and starts searching inside of the chimney. There are red and black ambers, of something inside that was being burnt.

It look like a large fire was spreading from cut pieces of cloth.

It is in very colorful pattern. It looks like fashion clothes, looks like there’s only one part so I can’t tell the size.

There was also, a melted piece of plastic that turned completely black like cards, or burnt pieces of paper……

She was squatting in front of the fire, and takes it with her hand.

“Looks like there’s a lot of clothes being burnt here. Some sort of cards. By looking at the letters on the card, looks like some sort of identification. Looks like either two, or three peoples worth of clothes are being burnt.”

“What, what is this? Why are they burning that?”

“Who knows? I don’t really want to think about it too much.”

While saying that, she picks up a piece a paper from the fire.

It looks like some sort of note with something with something written on the edge.

‘Help me.’

That’s what was written.

“Hey……What’s happening in this mansion?”

“-Who knows?”

Without giving much thought to her response, she puts the piece of paper in her pocket and leaves.

“Do you really not know anything?”

“Yes.”

“Don’t lie. You wanted to come to this mansion in the first place didn’t you? What was your goal? What are you hiding?”

“I’m not hiding anything?”

Kirigiri says so with a sharp gaze.

It seems we’ve open more distance between us now.

“Indeed I did want to come to this mansion in the first place, that’s the truth. However, I don’t know the details. I simply came to my appointed place by taxi. However there was nothing there, and when I was looking around, that’s when I ran into you. That’s all.”

“You were ‘appointed’……does that mean someone told you to come here?”

“That’s right.”

“Who was that?”

“Who knows?”

“Hey, tell me the truth.”

“I don’t know either. The client didn’t say their name. However, I think I know who it is……”

“The owner of the mansion?”

“Who knows. However, I’ll tell you this much. This is my first time coming to this mansion, I’m at the same point as you, not knowing what’s happening in this mansion.”

“I see……sorry for suspecting you.”

“You don’t need to worry about it. More importantly but it seems this situation is much more serious than I have thought. We shouldn’t waste any time.”

She points to the fireplace. What do those burnt clothes and identification cards mean?

“Let’s find the owner of the mansion and ask them. If we do that that’ll make everything clear.”

I determinedly say so.

“If we can even talk to them.”

“What do you mean?”

“They might be a maniac serial killer.”

“……Huh?”

“Only maybe.”

With no expression, Kirigiri shakes her head from side to side.

That might be. In this ominous mansion, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a serial killer hiding here. The owner still hasn’t shown themselves, and thinking about what’s being burnt in the fireplace, I’ve come to a realization.

“Before finding the owner, let’s look around for evidence. The more we can get the better.”

That’s what Kirigiri said, she doesn’t go to the door leading to the entrance hall, she goes to the door on the back leading to somewhere else.

When we open, it looked like some sort of dining room. There is a white cloth laying over a long table. On the middle of the table there is a three trident candle holder. I’ve never seen something like this other than in movies or dramas.

Looking closely the cloth is a bit in shambles, you couldn’t really call it hygienic. And there are red and black spots all over.

It’s almost like……stains of blood.

In order to look closely I get close to the table.

However as soon as I went by the windows, I feel like I saw something in the corner of my eye, and I stop.

It feels like someone’s watching me from the outside……

However not just something, but lots of things.

I immediately try to open the window, and look outside.

-There’s no one there.

There are iron bars from the outside of the window, I couldn’t look more farther than that. However when I try to strain my eyes to the darkness, I see a garden bed, I feel like there’s an oddly shaped plant growing there. The leaves look like they’re forming a swirling sort of pattern, and the vines are stretching.

Looking closely, looks like something is dropped there.

Skulls!?

On the flower bed, there is a large pile of innumerable skulls.

I let out a short yelp, and I get taken aback.

Kirigiri notices my reaction, and looks outside the window.

However at that moment, a strong wind blew, and plant leaves cover up the sight.

“There, was……a whole bunch of skulls there just now……”

I desperately try to sway her, but when Kirigiri looked she simply tilted her neck.

A. “This mansion is cursed! We need to get out of here as fast as possible!”

B. “This is a murder case. We need to call the police right away!”

C. “Might be my imagination. Let’s keep looking around.”

juicedup14 chooses C

“Maybe it was my imagination. Let’s keep looking around.”

“Look, there is a red pool over there.”

Kirigiri points to the floor. There are red dots, leading to the door in the back.

What is on the other side of that door?

I’m frightened to even think about it.

Even Kirigiri seemed to have a bit of a frown heading to the door, her feet seemed a bit heavy.

However without hesitation she opens the door.

It looks like there’s a kitchen.

You can hear the sound of dripping water from the sink, it was unexpectedly loud.

It was practically dark and I couldn’t see anything, Kirigiri takes out her penlight.

And then……we saw stains of red and black liquid on the floor, looking like they’ve been dragged on the floor.

It seems like they’re dry, and there is a rotten stench in the area.

Me and Kirigiri, both cover our noises.

“Geez……it’s not up to code……”

I was barely able to talk. The person might hear me, and from fear, I made my voice quieter.

“Looks like there’s a fridge on the back there.”

“Oh……”

“Let’s open it.”

“Huh?”

Kirigiri walking through the frightening kitchen I hurry and try to stop her.

“Stop it, it’s enough.”

“If there is something happening here, we need to confirm it.”

“Confirm what……?”

“The tragedy you see before you.”

Kirigiri stands in front of the fridge.

How can she be so calm?

It’s not at the level of courage or calmness.

It seems like-she’s used it it. This sort of situation is normal in her daily life, there’s no way anyone else would be able to not have any expression.

And being used to this kind of situation, what kind of life does she lead? It’s frightening to think about……I don’t think I’ll be able to stay so calm.

Finally Kirigiri puts her gloved hands on the hinge, and opens it.

Don’t open it, don’t open it……

That’s what my heart keeps telling me.

However without being able to plead, she ends up opening it.

Inside of the fridge, the light of the fridge turns Kirigiri’s face blue. That expression just as always didn’t change whatsoever……

“There’s nothing here.”

That’s what she said.

I don’t know why but it sounds like she’s disappointed.

I make sure as well, but the inside of the fridge was indeed empty, there weren’t any vegetables or beverages inside.

It was anti climatic. But that’s fine. My heart is settled now.

“I knew it this mansion isn’t normal. Let’s leave for now, and find a place where we can get cellphone signal.”

I suggest that, and Kirigiri did not argue.

We return to the entrance hall.

As if being chased by the sound of the grandfather clock, we stand in front of the door. I immediately grab the knob.

However the knob just turns, the door does not open.

“What is this?”

I try hitting the door, and turning the knob forcefully, I tried many things, but it just did not open.

I give up on the door, and try opening the window. However on the outside there is iron bars, and it seems like we can’t leave.

By the looks of it, looks like all the windows have iron bars.

“Looks like we’re locked in……”

I say so with a surprise voice.

Kirigiri tries opening the door as well, but she gives up and lets out a sigh, and leaves.

“Looks like they are right calling it a ‘man eating mansion’.”

“We’re gonna get eaten by this mansion? Stop kidding around! How could this happen? Just what’s happening here?”

“Calm down.”

“What do you mean calm down?”

Thinking about it, ever since I met Kirigiri only weird things have been happening.

It’s almost like it’s all her fault……no doubt about it she is the cause of all this.

No, could it be that she is the one who’s drawing me here?

No it couldn’t be……

“You look like you’re in despair.”

Kirigiri says so with her arms crossed.

I try to search for the truth in her expression but looks like that’s impossible. Her expression is almost like she is frozen stiff.

Is she the enemy?

Or could it be……

“You might be misunderstanding, but it’s not a despairful situation just yet. We haven’t even searched the second floor, and we haven’t seen the owner of the mansion yet.”

“You said they might be a serial killer didn’t you?”

“I would welcome that if that’s the case.”

“You would welcome that?”

“I’ve seen many serial killers up to now. They all behave exactly the same. I already know exactly how they act, I also know how to deal with them as well. They are more easier to handle than my classmates.”

“What……what are you talking about? Just……who are you?”

“That’s a secret as well is what I want to say, but it looks like I can’t keep saying that can I? I am-”

Kirigiri as if organizing her gloves, grabs the wrist part and moves it side to side while saying.

“-I am a detective.”

“Detective……?”

“That’s right. An ally to the truth.”

She says that, while going up to the stairs to the second floor.

“Are you going by yourself?”

“I’m going to explore the second floor. You can go ahead and stay there.”

While going up the stairs her skirt sways from side to side, and soon her figure fades away.

……A detective she says?

A detective who could solve impossible cases, those kinds of people. How could that small-bodied girl be fit to be a detective?

A. Can I let her go? It’s what I ask myself.

B. She might be fine by herself. Is what I tell myself.

juicedup14 chooses A

Is it fine to just let her go? Is what I ask myself.

Do I have any reason to oppose her? Does she have any reason to go against me?

I don’t have any reason. Actually I want to get out of this mansion as fast as possible. I need to think about a way to runaway.

Even so……looking at her going up the stairs by herself, I feel like I have to go as well. It seems like her intense calmness has rubbed off on me.

Either way, I don’t know any way of escaping this mansion. Even so, this isn’t something I should leave to someone else. I have to do it.

I go after Kirigiri, and go up the stairs.

They’re awfully creaky stairs. There were thirteen steps. They’re well built. I feel like I’m going up to my own execution, and I reach the second floor.

As I go around the corner, I see a door on the far side and I see a figure of a person go in there all of a sudden. I couldn’t see them very well, but from the shadow of the door it seems like it’s someone with long flowing hair, it could have been Kirigiri.

I try going after her, and stand in front of the door.

I put my hand on the door and then-

Something grabs my shoulder.

“Uah.”

I jump.

And I turn around, that’s where Kirigiri was standing.

“Huh? Hun?”

“You couldn’t be a good boy and stay down there?”

“You……weren’t you just over there?”

“No. I came out from a different room.”

“Well then, the person who went in here……”

“Someone from this mansion right.”

Looks like we caught them.

“I didn’t see them very well, but it looked like a girl with long hair.”

“Even if the opponent is a woman you mustn’t let your guard down. It would be best if you stayed behind me.”

She pushes me aside, and stands in front of the door.

And opens it.
