Kirika forgets her notebook at school. Though she’s afraid, she advances down the dark corridor and hears footsteps…. but from where?



Kirika: Uu… looks like something’s coming out…

Kirika: Aaaah!! It’s a z-zombie! It’s coming this way!

Kirika: Why’s this game so scary?

Shirabe: You don’t have to push yourself if you’re scared…

Kirika: But I really wanna know what happens next!

Shirabe: Ah… well, keep at it, then.

Kirika: Shirabe-! I wanna be by your side.

It’s hopeless all by myself!

Shirabe: As much as I’d love to…

I’d better get this homework done.

Kirika: Homework…?

Shirabe: Yes, there’s homework due tomorrow, right?

Kirika: Ah…!

I totally forgot!

Shirabe: You would…

I’ve yet to finish, so shall we get it done together?

Kirika: Love to!

I’ll just pick the game back up when I’m through.

Kirika: Hmm, notebook, notebook…

Kirika: Huh?

Shirabe: Kiri-chan?

Kirika: M-my notebook isn’t here!

It’s gotta be back in the classroom…!

Shirabe: Kiri-chan, calm down.

If we go get it right now, you’ll be okay.

[ALERT]

Shirabe: It’s from the commander?

Genjurou: Alca-Noise have appeared.

Right now, Maria’s hurrying to the scene.

Shirabe: We’ll head over, too.

Genjurou: My apologies; I’m counting on you!

Shirabe: Understood.

Shirabe: Kiri-chan, let’s take care of this, then our homework.

Kirika: What the heck… but if I don’t get that notebook, it’s the death of me…

Why’d it have to be now!?

Kirika: Maria, thanks for going out of your way to join up with us.

Maria: It’s no trouble. I’d be too uneasy letting just the two of you head over to school at this hour.

Kirika: Eek! Is that a zombie?

Shirabe: Kiri-chan, it’s no zombie. It’s just an ordinary cat.

Kirika: J-j-jeez! Kitty giving me a false alarm over here…

Shirabe: I can’t move when you cling to me like that…

Maria: What’s got Kirika so afraid?

Shirabe: Kiri-chan’s been crazy about this horror game…

Maria: I see, it’s that kind of thing.

Maria: …I’ve just realized it’s gotten fairly late.

Shall we double-time it to the school?

Kirika: Aah! Is that a zombie dog this time!?

Shirabe: Kiri-chan. That’s just an ordinary dog.

Maria: Jeez, I really pity her…

Maria: Shirabe, were you watching her play that game? Are you alright?

Shirabe: Yes, I’m fine. It’s just a game, after all.

Kirika: I know what to do!



I’ll put my Gear on ‘til we get to Lydian!

Kirika: When I’ve got my super-sharp Igalima on,

ther'e’s no ghost I can’t split in two!

Maria: I think that might not be the best idea.

Don’t say such silly things; let’s pick up the pace.

Kirika: I d-don’t give a crap about homework,

let’s just go home already…

Shirabe: There’s just a little more to go, so how about we do our best?

Kirika: But…

Shirabe: Ah, there’s a story I’ve heard about this place…

Kirika: That’s totally Shirabe!

If we chat, that’ll shoo the scares away!

Shirabe: Have you ever heard of the Red Student?

Kirika: Hold up, you’re not about to hit me with a ghost story, right?

Shirabe: There’s seven strange happenings around this school…

Kirika: She just up and ignored me!?

Shirabe: As she walked through the hallway after school all alone,

she heard footsteps approaching her from behind…

Maria: Hey, Shirabe. I’d just like to make sure -

you’re making this up, aren’t you…?

Shirabe: They were the footsteps of a girl who killed herself long ago,

her uniform still drenched in blood, trying to find someone…

Maria: Why’s she ignoring me, too!?

Shirabe: Every night, she wandered the school grounds.

And so, those footsteps caught up to that one student, and…

Shirabe: Fufu…

Kirika: This is scarier than a horror game!

Now I’ve just gotta get Igalima on…

Maria: Hold on a second!

Shirabe: What’s the matter?

Maria: Right now… I feel like I could

hear the sound of someone’s footsteps…

Kirika: Even Maria’s…

Maria: Hush for a sec…

Shirabe: It’s real…

Kirika: I could hear it too…

Maria: It really isn’t my imagination, huh…

Kirika: Is it c-coming closer!?

Maria: A girl’s voice, laughing?

Kirika: Eek!

That blood-soaked ghost’s gonna catch me!

Kirika: Hurry up and run, you two!

Shirabe: Ah, Kiri-chan! Wait!

Kirika: My death flag’s about to get triggered!

Kirika: Wah!

???: Ow!

Maria: What happened!?

Kirika: The ghost beat us here!

Kirika: I’m done for!

Maria, Shirabe, leave me and get outta here!

Miku: Hibiki, are you okay?

Hibiki: Oof… I’m fine, but…

Huh, Kirika-chan?

Maria: Ah, it’s you two…

Maria: So you left something here too.

Hibiki: Yeah, I did…

Miku: I’m here to escort Hibiki.

Kirika: Well, anyways, I’m glad it wasn’t a ghost…

Hibiki: You know, Lydian at night’s really different with this dark atmosphere.

Now I’m really tempted to go adventuring around…

Miku: Jeez, did you already forget why we’re here?

Kirika: The party gains two members!

Well, I mean, I’d like you two to join us!

Hibiki: Yeah, sounds great!

Let’s all go get Kirika-chan’s notebook!

Kirika: Fufu… there’s plenty of us now!

I’m not afraid of anything anymore!

Shirabe: Kiri-chan, you saying that’s a huge death flag too…

And we’re back… again. To some degree? Season 5, Symphogear XV, airs TODAY! So I’m gonna try to pick the pace back up and do some more memoria releases.

This time around, @kagayakitori and I did a collaborative translation! We’re excited to continue bringing folks more Symphogear stories to read!
