A transcript of part 4 of juicedup14 playthrough/translation of Kirigiri Sou, which you can watch here.

This transcript was not worked by me, but worked by zanthosus and @drmedicsgamesurgery. Thanks to them for working on this part.

“Yeah, at first I thought you were an assistant to the client and I was surprised that you were just an ordinary student without another side. I think the reason the place was appointed by phone was so the mansion’s location wouldn’t be known by anyone but me, such as a taxi driver.”

“Did you come halfway by taxi?”

“That’s right. It’s not like I can’t drive, but it would be against the law if I did.”

“I see…”

“Or maybe the request was bait to bring me to the mansion. It’s something that happens quite a lot.”



“So then, Kyouka had some sort of plan. She had a purpose to bring you here.”

Kirigiri nods.

“Just what is she planning?”

“She’s probably planning to kill me..”

“Kill? Why would she do that?”

“Maybe it’s some sort of doppelganger thing. There can only be one, maybe that’s the thing.”

Does that sort of thing exist?

Because she looks like her, she’ll kill her? If so, what does the message she gave me mean?

“Please help me. Trust me.”

Trust… If I were to trust Kyouka, then what does that mean for Kirigiri? Should I be thinking about Kirigiri? Could it be Kirigiri is the one that’s lying? Or maybe she’s planning to kill Kyouka, and that’s why she infiltrated the mansion. Wait, I feel like I know this message. ((Flashbacks to a similar looking note.))

Think. Kirigiri or Kyouka, who should I believe? Who should I trust?

A: Kirigiri’s story makes sense. I don’t think she would lie. I believe Kirigiri’s words.

B: This is a sincere message from Kyouka. I believe in Kyouka.

Kirigiri’s story makes sense. I don’t think she would lie. I believe Kirigiri’s words. I trust her.

“Hey, can you look at this?”

I show her the message I got from Kyouka.

“Huh, so that’s it….”

She says, looking far away.

“What is it?”

“I understand now what happening in this mansion.”

“Really? I don’t really get anything that’s happening at all. Also, I feel like I’ve seen this message somewhere before.”

“You’re clever, aren’t you? It’s true that you’ve seen that message before.”

“Huh, where?”

“You should know by now, shouldn’t you?”

“Uh… no… not really.”

“First, let’s go chase after Kyouka. It would be too late there if I tried to explain it now.”

We go out into the hallway.

The roses that were covering the hallway increased even more. Did they grow so much from just this little bit of time? I go back into the greenhouse and pick up the knife. I cut through the roses as we proceed through the hallway.

“It’s almost as if these roses are protecting Kyouka….”

Or maybe, they have a will of their own and are trying to get in our way.

Going through the roses in the hallway, we finally get to the stairs and run down.

“Where could Kyouka be?”

“All we can do is look through every room. There are many places that we haven’t searched yet.”

When she gets down the stairs, there’s a door right next to her and she puts her hands on it. It’s locked. She heads to the left side wall where there’s a door.

That door opens easily. It’s a narrow hallway that’s also damp and humid. It goes on for a while. We open the door that’s way in the back and fluorescent light illuminate the white room. Somewhat like a sterile hospital room. I thought that it would be another laboratory or something, but there are no plants covering the room like the laboratory on the second floor. This place is kept organized and hygienic.

It’s quite large. In the middle of the room, there is a room surrounded by glass containing a small plant.

It’s an odd flower growing. At just a glance, it looks like a cactus mixed with a carnivorous plant. If you look closely, it also resembles the bottom part of a human.

The bottom part looks like it’s buried in the dirt like a corpse growing, and I unconsciously gasp. If you look closely, it’s not like it resembles a human very much. The arms are rounded with no fingers, and the facial features are all in an uneven level.

However, that plant is in the flower bed inside the glass room, and it seems like there are around ten of them lined up. Like the sight of a nightmare.

“Could this be the result of their research…”

Kirigiri calmly says, though you could hear a bit of shaking in her voice. Even then, she opens the sterilized automatic door and goes inside.

“What is this? Is it alive?”

“There’s no doubt that it’s alive. The problem is… Is this a plant, or is it an animal…. Or is it human?”

“Human? This?”

“If they’re going to combine animal and plant DNA, then of course they’re going to use human DNA as well. There must have been a slight experiment, but this is the ideal development of botany. However, it seems that they’ve gone past the boundary and created a twisted figure. Is this the secret of the mansion?”

Kirigiri scoops up the dirt at her feet and looks at it.

“Different from all the other places, they actually take care of the plants here. Even now, someone is taking care of it.”

“Is it Kyouka?”

“I wonder.”

Kirigiri, like it’s nothing, touches one of the plants.

All of a sudden, a plant stands and grabs her back. The cactus looking plant grabs Kirigiri’s slender arm and wraps around it. Kirigiri has no time to react, and her arms become bound.

“Ah!”

Kirigiri tries to wring herself out of it, but it seems the plant is much too strong and won’t let her escape.

I panic and jump into the sterile room. I attack and strike the plant’s arm with the knife. Unlike a human, I wouldn’t stop at stabbing a plant. However when I stabbed it, it shook slightly and an ear piercing scream echoed. That sound was like it was screaming in pain.

However, where I stabbed it with the knife, a deep red liquid leaked out.

“Is this blood?”

I stepped back with the knife in my hand. With my hand red with blood, I lose my presence of mind at the feeling of that. It’s almost like I stabbed a living human.

As if the plant was mad, it swings it’s wounded arm and it wraps its arms around Kirigiri’s neck.

Kirigiri did her best to get it off, but it didn’t budge. The ringing became stronger. She wasn’t even able to let out a voice. Dammit, what should I do? I look at the bloody knife.

“Don’t hurt them anymore.”

I hear a voice from behind me. When I turn around, Kyouka is standing at the entrance of the room. She’s holding her own slender body and goes through the door.

“Those children are alive.”

“But they’re going to kill her!”

“There’s nothing I can do anymore.”

Kyouka shakes her head weakly. Kirigiri, in the twisted arms, is suffering.

“All we want to do is live peacefully… However because you kept looking around the mansion, you can’t leave alive.

“Weren’t you the one who called for the detective?”

“No, don’t be fooled by her lies. She heard rumors of a mansion and she came here of her own interest. Detectives are beings who like exposing truths. She couldn’t resist her own desires. She even brought you here into this mess.”

What?

That’s totally different from what I heard from Kirigiri. She wasn’t brought here by Kyouka, and wanted to reveal the mystery of the mansion and came here of her own free will? Well then, she brought this upon herself then, didn’t she?

“Now will you believe in me?”

She looks straight at me.

“I know that you just unfortunately got wrapped up into this. That’s why if you promise not to tell anyone else, I’ll escort you to the exit. Please, don’t say anything and just leave.”

It seems that Kyouka is begging you.

Those pleads and expression tell the truth more than Kirigiri’s face, that you could never know what she’s thinking. That’s what I tried to convince myself of. I glance over at Kirigiri. She’s losing power to resist.

If I were to leave now, Kirigiri would most definitely faint and die. What should I do?

A: “Okay, I’ll leave.”

B: “There’s no way I can abandon her now!”

“There’s no way I can abandon her now!”

I swing the knife and cut the plant’s arm.

Blood splatters and a scream emanates. Without heeding any mind to that, I stab the plant over and over, and I am finally able to cut it. Kirigiri gets released from the arm, and while coughing, she crouches down. It seems that she’s safe.

“I thought that you would be able to understand.”

Kyouka says with a cold expression. That expression, it really is like Kirigiri.

“Kyouka, I want to know what you’re trying to say. It’s true, we’ve ruined an important place of yours. I apologize for that. I’m truly sorry. But even so, that’s no reason to kill her.”

I help Kirigiri up. However, she stands up by herself. She’s a strong girl.

“I won’t tell anyone about this. I swear. So please, let us go home.”

“Can I trust you?”

While leaning against a wall, she asks with a weak voice.

“Yeah, we won’t disturb your peace anymore.”

“I understand what you’re trying to say and how you feel, but what about the detective? Unless I get a direct promise from her, I can’t trust you guys.”

“Hey, can you talk?”

I look at Kirigiri and ask her.

Kirigiri raises her head from coughing and wipes away the hair on her cheeks and looks at Kyouka.

“I have no intention of looking away from the truth.”

“Hey, what are you saying?”

“You just want to leave peacefully? That’s a lie! She hasn’t said the truth once!”

She looks at Kyouka with a sharp gaze.

Even though it looked like she let her off safe, she goes on and says that.

“I’m not saying the truth?”

Kyouka tilts her head like she heard something unexpected.

“Yeah. You’re hidden away from sight of other humans and live here peacefully… That kind of fairy tail isn’t true. The truth is much more cruel.”

“What do you mean?”

I ask.

“They’re all murderers. I’m sure they’ve killed many people up until now. Isn’t that right?”

In response to Kirigiri’s question, Kyouka stares back at her with a cold gaze and says nothing.

“It could be that people who get lost and wind up in this mansion never get to go back home. This is a man-eating mansion. It’s not just that. Maybe, just like me, you draw people here is bait people with requests and kill them. Because detectives are very mission-oriented individuals.

“And what was being burned in the fireplace was the victim’s remains.”

“That’s ridiculous. What was being burned was my clothes. Because I didn’t need them, I got rid of them.”

“There were peoples’ identification cards.”

“I don’t know that. Maybe some other cards just got mixed in there.”

“Well then, what’s this?”

Kirigiri takes out the paper she found in the ashes. The memo that says “Help me.”

“Who knows? I don’t know anything about that.”

“That’s not true. You’re lying. There’s no way you shouldn’t know about this because the handwriting of this memo and the one you gave to him has the same handwriting. Especially the ‘Help Me’ part. It’s even in the same place. Basically, you wrote both of those.”

The evidence that Kirigiri shows makes Kyouka at a loss for an argument. Now that you mention it, that’s true. Both of the memos’ writing are the same.

“What does this message mean?”

“Surely you know, don’t you? This message that asks for help makes people feel empathetic and let their guard down. Maybe you use the same method with other victims. The more perception of right and wrong that a person has, the more effective that this memo is, isn’t it? I can’t even imagine how many detectives you brought here.”

“But why would you keep killing people like that?”

“Because there isn’t enough nutrition.”

“Nutrition?”

“The important plants that she’s growing. Their nutrition, or maybe you can call it their food.”

The plants that look like twisted humans. Could it be that Kyouka invites people to this mansion, kills them, and then feeds them to these plants? Thinking about that makes me feel dizzy.

“They are children who could not become human.”

Kyouka slowly goes to the glass flower bed.

“In order to make them grow into humans, they need a lot of nutrition. They were born when someone created them by chance. They are incomplete and sad creatures. Even so, I will not abandon them. I could not abandon them.”
