A transcript of part 5 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.

“They are children who could not become human.”

She slowly walks up to the glass panel by the flower bed.

“In order to make their form into human, they need nourishment. When they were born, someone created them by chance. They are incomplete and sad creatures… Even so, I will not abandon them.”

Next to the glass, Kyouka falls to her knees and looks down. All of the plants in the flower bed start shaking all at once. A disgusting, repulsive voice comes out. They all start crying out for nutrients. Using their roots as feet and as hands, they start crawling out from the glass.

Kyouka… are they worried about Kyouka? They think Kyouka has been surrounded. They suddenly turn towards me and Kirigiri.

“It seems that they think we’re they’re enemy.”

“Isn’t that kinda bad?”

“Let’s run away.”

We all run as fast as we can out of the room.

Once we get out to the hallway, all of a sudden an unknown figure appears before us.

There’s a suit of armor standing right in front of us. It’s the one that was sitting on the sofa in the reception room. He takes out the dagger from his hip and swings it greatly.

“He’s moving!”

“I don’t think you should be surprised at this kind of time.”

Kirigiri quickly crouches down and does a foot sweep. Surprisingly, the suit of armor falls. Through the gaps in the armor, various leaves spring out.

“He’s nothing to worry about.”

We get to the entrance hall.

Something abnormal happened. The tree that was growing in the flower bed somehow grew and now all the roots are spreading around the room, and it’s still rapidly growing. The roots are moving along the ground like feelers.

“This is bad.”

Kirigiri suddenly tackles me as a whip-like root lashes in front of me. The whip only grazed me, but Kirigiri falls to her side.

She gets slammed into the tree trunk. Suddenly, all the roots, like a large snake, begin binding her.

“Are you okay?!”

I rush over to where Kirigiri is. I attempt to reach out to her, but the roots stay in my way. The roots of the tree are hard. Even if I stab it with the knife, I can only do a little bit of damage.

“I can’t let you people get away!”

Kyouka appears in the hallway. Around her, there are various abnormal plants. It’s not just that. In the entrance hall, various leaves and vines grow thicker. It’s almost like they’re moving by her will. They start covering us. The vines around Kirigiri grow tighter as her face become distorted in pain. She stretches out her hand from the vines of the tree and reaches out towards me.

“Use this.”

She’s holding something in her hand. I go over the roots of the tree and run to where she is.

Right as I’m one step in front of her, one of the vines tie around my feet as I fall to the ground.

I can’t get up just yet. As I was laying on the floor, I stretch my hand out to Kirigiri. She opens her hand and drops something in front of me.

I graciously catch it in my hand. It’s a small flask. The one we found in the hidden room.

“Throw that at her.”

Kirigiri’s voice is like a divine revelation falling upon me. I spring my body up and stand to where Kyouka is by the hallway.

I aim at Kyouka and throw the small flask at her. Please hit…! Just as I aimed, it hits Kyouka’s body and breaks. The liquid covers her. At that moment, Kyouka screams and covers her face.

Before my eyes, Kyouka’s skin becomes drier, almost like a mummy.



All at once, all the plants that were covering the hallway stop moving, lose control, then go crazy and begin to act violently. But because of that, Kirigiri’s binds loosen and she frees herself.

She falls to the ground.

“Are you okay”

“Yeah, I’m fine. More importantly, let’s run away.”

We head towards the window, but one of the rampaging vines breaks through the window and bends the bars, making an opening there. We both jump through the gap.

In the rain, we head towards the gate. We can hear her cries of agony behind us.

“What was in the flask?”

I asked Kirigiri while running.

“It was powerful herbicide.”

“Huh? Does that mean…”

Certainly to humans, herbicide is poisonous. But having it cover you wouldn’t hurt that much.

“If they’re experimenting with animal and plant DNA, then of course they’re going to combine human DNA as well.”

I remember when Kirigiri said that.

Suddenly, Kyouka’s screams echoed through the forest and it suddenly stops. We go past the gate and turn around.

There, we don’t see the mansion anymore. One great tree grew. As if trying to take in the force around it, all the plants surround it.

Kirigiri looks at the forest with cold eyes that haven’t changed since I’ve met her. If it wasn’t for her, I would’ve thought that this was all a dream.

Even so, the girl that looks just like her, Kyouka. What was she? At this point we can’t know.

If only there was a chance to get to know her more. Would I have been able to understand her? Kirigiri turns her back to the gate and starts walking.

“Is this the end?”

I ask Kirigiri.

“The client is gone now. This is it, the job ends here.”

“I see. Well, I’m glad that we’re both safe.”

“Yeah.”

All the way to the end, Kirigiri was always so cold.

“What is going to happen from now on?”

“We go home.”

“And this forest?”

“That’s right. You’re going to escort me, right, Kohei?”

The Plant Girl Route: Cleared

Route 1 out of 6 (+2) Complete





((juicedup14 starts the game once again, and skips to the first choice))

Suddenly I-

A. Turn the handle.

B. Hit the break.

((NEW)) C. Pretend i didn’t see her.

juicedup14 chooses the newly appeared option C

I didn’t see her. I had an idea for salaryman expectations, so it wasn’t the time for driving. The car suddenly impacts her. I dodge, but she was able to evade it as if nothing happened and walks over to the side of the road.

What amazing athletic ability! Is that a stick plus dodge movement? I confirm that she’s safe in the back mirror and I stop the car.

In this kind of forest, in this kind of time, what is a girl doing? And without an umbrella. Could she be a ghost? She quietly comes closer to the car.

She looks like a high schooler and has long hair, and only has a braid on her left side. It leaves an impression. It’s almost as if she has no expression. With a composed expression, she goes up to the side of the car.

I roll down the window and say,

A: “Don’t walk in the middle of the road, idiot!”

B: “I’m sorry, are you okay?”

C: “C-Could you be a ghost? You’re not a ghost are you?”

juicedup14 chooses C

“C-Could you be a ghost? You’re not a ghost are you?”

“I was about to become one because of you.”

She says with eyes that make me want to shudder.

“I’m sorry! I carelessly wasn’t looking. I didn’t notice.”

“Is that so?”

She gives me a response as if she doesn’t care whatsoever about my excuses. It’s hard to tell from her expression, but you can tell that she’s extremely mad. More than just a deep red heat, it was like a sharp knife that was below freezing.

And there I was enjoying how she was looking at me like trash. That’s right…. Look at me even more…. No no, that’s not the time to be saying that sort of thing.

Even so, what is this girl?

A: Could it be that you live here?

B: You look like a very weird looking girl. I think and then close the window.

C: It would be troublesome if she was hurt. I keep apologizing to her.

juicedup14 chooses C

It would be troublesome if she was hurt. I keep apologizing to her.

“I really didn’t mean it. I’ll pay more attention when I’m driving from now on. Please accept my humble apologies.”

I apologize multiple times and the girl, expressionless, looks deep into my eyes and slightly shakes her head.

It’s like she’s staring deep into my soul. As if she had given up on me, she ignores me and begins walking. I become relieved, close the window and begin driving once again.

I immediately pass her and can’t see her in the back mirror anymore. Good grief, I’m glad nothing happened. Anyways, I need to get out of this forest as fast as possible.

I suddenly speed up. All of a sudden, I try turning on the radio, but all I hear is static.

All of a sudden, I see a light go across the sky. What was that right now?

Was it a falling star? Or a meteor? Maybe it was a fireball that appears in the skies that I’ve been hearing about. It seems there will be a meteor shower tonight. It’s possible. The rain clouds are covering the sky. If a meteor were to fall over Earth, it may just be a luminescent phenomenon.

As I pay attention and glance at the sky. If it wasn’t cloudy, then I’d be able to see the night sky pretty well. At that time, I saw another ball of light. But this time it was going the opposite direction. This is obviously odd, isn’t it. I’ve never heard of a meteor going back and forth.

I immediately stop the car. I take out the umbrella from the back seat and I go outside.

While holding the umbrella, I look up. Maybe I’ll see the meteorite fall again. I take out the camera from the car and wait. But no matter how much I wait, the sky stays dark. I guess a meteor won’t fall that easily. Then I hear steps from behind me.

As I turn around, the girl that I almost ran over before walks towards me. Did she turn into a monster?! Wait, I didn’t run her over. If it’s the same path, of course she would get here. This is bad.

She gets closer without even paying attention to me.

A: I can’t let her ignore me. I’ll talk to her.

B: I Ignore her.

C: I receive some sort of signal.

juicedup14 chooses A

I can’t let her ignore me. I talk to her.

“Hey, we met again.”

She looks suspiciously at the camera I’m holding.

“Oh, this? I heard you can see falling stars pretty well tonight, so…”

She looks up at the sky. It’s raining. She looks at me with even more doubt than before.

“Yeah, the rain’s pretty bad, isn’t it. Wait, don’t you have an umbrella? I’ll give you this one.”

I try to hand her the umbrella, but she won’t take it.

“Are you hiding something?”

“I’m not hiding anything.”

“It is kinda forced. What kind of person by themselves would look up at the sky with a camera? No matter how you look at it, it’s suspicious.”

“Um, this is just…”

For the time being I put the camera inside the car and turn around like nothing happened.

“If you’re going to say that, then you’re pretty suspicious yourself.”

“Is there something suspicious about me?”

“At night, in this kind of forest, I can’t think of any reason for a girl to be walking around.”

“I’m just here for work.”

“Work? What kind of work?”

“It’s a secret.”

She says while averting her eyes.

“You see, you are suspicious.”

“This is going nowhere.”

She looks like she’s had enough of the conversation and starts walking off.

“Wait, what about the umbrella? You don’t need it? Actually, if you’re familiar with this place can you tell me how to get back?”

I try to stop her and walk away from the car. At that time, a beam of light goes to the ground and attacks a tree.

After a flash, a roar echoes through the area. I cover my ears and fall to the ground. I let go of the umbrella and it flows through the wind. It seems like the girl was surprised as well and turns around. The light that had attacked the tree has caused it to burst into flames. It falls towards the car.

All of a sudden in front of me, the car turns into a pancake and flames erupt.

“My car… my telescope… my camera.”

“If you don’t get away, it’ll be dangerous.”

She grabs my arm and forcefully pulls me from the car. My whole student life was inside of that car. Even so… ah! I’m really upset that I don’t have my umbrella. It seems that I just have my phone in my pocket. I look at the screen, but it’s out of range. Now I can’t call for help. And now, the path is blocked by a flaming tree. We can’t go back.

Just what happened?

“Did you see that just now?”

I get up and I ask her.

“Yeah. A beam of light fell.”

“It must have been a meteorite. I saw a different one a while ago. That’s why I had the camera. You see, I’m not suspicious at all.”

“It is suspicious…”

“You’re still going to doubt me?”

“No, not that. If a meteorite were to make a tree fall, then the impact should affect the whole area, but if I look, only the tree was impacted. There’s no other damage.”

Now that she mentions it, that’s right. With that kind of force, we should have all been blown away.

There was no difference from when I saw the beam and when it burst into flames. If it were a meteorite, then it would take quite a while to reach the ground.

“Well then, what was that light just now?”

“Who knows?”

She puts her hands to her hips and shakes her head.

I look again. She’s quite a beautiful girl. She only looked like a ghost when I first saw her. It might be because of her pale skin.

A: “What is your name?”

B: “What are your hobbies?”

C: “What are the conditions to be accepted as your marriage partner?”

D: “Who cares, let’s just get married!”

juicedup14 chooses C

“What are the conditions to be accepted as your marriage partner?”

“What?”

She asks and glares at me sharply.

“We have to be together for quite a while now. We need to know what we both like.”

“You’re way off from even the first conditions.”

“Huh? What?”

“And what do you mean for quite a while?”

“If you think about this situation, we’re a man and woman who are lost in a rainy forest. We need to work together to get through the night.”

“I haven’t lost my way of where to go.”

“Is that so? Do you live around here? That would help a lot!”

“It’s not my house, but if we walk a bit more, we’ll reach the client’s mansion.”

“The client’s…?”

“I won’t say anymore. Just guess.”

She begins walking. I rush to where she is.

“Have you been walking along in the mountains for quite a while?”

“Of course not. I got here by taxi.”

“So why didn’t the taxi take you to where the client was?”

“Because the client didn’t designate it.”

She suddenly stops, turns around and glares at me.

“Please don’t pry so much.”

“…Okay.”

I solemnly drop my shoulders.

“Oh, by the way my name is…”

“I already know it.”

“Huh? How?”

“Your car number told me.”

“Oh, my car number… huh?”

In detective dramas, they can take out information from car numbers, but I didn’t think a normal person would be able to do that. That’s ridiculous.

She was designated by a client. Just who is this kid? There are a lot of mysteries. For now, I need to follow her. Suddenly, the path stops being gravel and turns into a wild path. If I were alone, I would definitely turn back.

“Does someone really live past here?”

“Who knows?”

“What do you mean who knows…?”

“I see a light.”

She points to the end of the path. Between the gaps in the trees, I can vaguely see a bit of light, though it’s not very reliable.

“I don’t have a good feeling about this…”

“If you don’t like it, then this is were we say farewell.”

“Wait, please wait.”

“If you want to turn back, then I won’t stop you. I don’t have any reason to be together with you.”

“Don’t say that kind of thing. My car is destroyed, and I’m in big trouble. I just need to borrow a phone. I won’t bother you.”

“I’m sure the client will allow it.”

She says that and starts walking into the forest.

She really is cold, a very thorny girl. She probably doesn’t have a lot of friends, I would think. I look at her back and chase after her. I have to abide by her.

As we walk along the forest, the light grows closer. Suddenly, our view opens up and I can see a mansion in front of us.

It’s a huge mansion.

It’s old style Western architecture looks like something out of a theme park. It’s stained black, and vines are growing along the windows. If not for that, it’d look like something out of a fairy tale. It’s almost like a haunted mansion. The entrance is lit up. This must be the light we saw.

“Who live here?”

“I wonder.”

“You really don’t know anything, do you?”

“This is my first time being her after all. From what I’ve researched, I don’t hear very good rumors.”

“Rumors?”

“For a whole year, various missing person incidents have been occurring. They say that they’ve been spirited away, and there aren’t many people around here any more.

“Spirited away, huh?”

“The cause has some dispute, but it could be this mansion.”

She opens the rusted gate and goes through it.

“You’re going to go in even though you said that?”

“Yeah.”

“You’re not scared?”

She doesn’t answer my question and walks towards the mansion.

She probably is scared. I couldn’t help but see that her hands were shaking a little bit. Or could it be that she’s cold from this rain. I have to look cool in this kind of situation.

A: “I’m going too.”

B: I’ll man up and go too. ((It’s literally just him saying option A but with super masculine pronouns))

C: “We’re with you!”

juicedup14 chooses C

“We’re with you!”

I say. She looks at me with narrow eyes.

“What do you mean ‘we’?”

“Oh, um… It looked like a good choice in the choice selection, so…”

“Oh.”

She becomes expressionless and begins walking again. It doesn’t feel good to have her ignore me like that. I suddenly chase after her.

Around the area of the mansion, it looks like various plants are growing. It doesn’t look like it’s been very well kept, and there are several plants that I’ve never seen before growing in weird ways. All of this chaos brings fear to me.

We reach the door. Without hesitating, she knocks on the door.

As we wait, there is no response. I try turning the door knob.

“Wha?”

As I grab the door knob, I feel something moist and I take my hand away. I look at my hand and see a gray, slimy substance.

“What is this… slime?”

“It must be some sort of forest liquid. Don’t worry about it, let’s open it.”

“You’re the one with gloves. How about you open it.”

“No, I don’t want to. My gloves aren’t made for touching that kind of slimy forest goop.”

“So you’re going to make me touch it?”

“You already touched it. Isn’t it the same?”

It’s no use. I endure the grossness and turn the knob. I quickly open it.

“Use this.”

She hands me a handkerchief.

“Thanks, I’ll wash it before giving it ba—”

“You don’t need to give it back.”

We immediately go inside.

It’s quite a large entrance hall, with a high ceiling. I don’t see anybody. It’s so quiet that I can hear our own heartbeats.

“No one is here.”

I look around the hall.

“It has to be here. There’s no doubt that this is the place.”

She says that as she goes to the middle of the room. Close by, there’s some stairs to the left and right that go up in a curve. The left and right walls each have a door. There’s a grandfather clock keeping time by the stairs.

Compared to the outside of the mansion, it looks well kept and organized in here. If it wasn’t for the clock, it would seem like this place was stopped in time forever. The weirdest part is that there’s a flower bed on the side of the entrance hall.

It’s a brick flower bed with a single tree growing. I would think it’s a pretty old tree, judging by the size of it. The leaves reach up all the way to the ceiling. There’s a tree inside the mansion.

I don’t know the name of this kind of tree. All the veins surround the trunk make it look like some sort of monster.

“What a weird tree.”

I get closer to it. At that time, the right hand door opens.

Is that the owner of the mansion? I prepare to greet them, and I wonder how to carry this out. But what appeared from the door wasn’t human. It was a meter long rat looking creature.

It was not a normal rat. From its nose, bizarre slender feelers were growing. They were moving around very weirdly, and moreover those feelers were pointed towards the ground in an upside down state. It was moving around like an octopus. What is this creature!? When it gets into the hall, it notices our existence and stops.

Our eyes meet. As I look at the black eyes, it looks almost cute like a seal.

“What is this?”

“Who knows?”

It seems she’s encountering something that she doesn’t know either.

A: Could this be a Spielberg type of thing? I point out my index finger.

B: This has to be an Emmerich type of thing. I harden my fist, as if punching it.

juicedup14 chooses B

This has to be an Emmerich type of thing. I was ready to punch it. Suddenly, the weird feelers get closer.

“Go home! Bastard!”

I swing my fist at it. Then, all of a sudden, hiding inside the feelers was a repulsive mouth. It shows its fangs and jumps.

I’m going to get eaten! I fall back on my butt. As it’s about to fall onto me –

The white coated man, with a spear in his hand appears at the top of the stairs and gracefully descends. He puts all his weight onto the tip of the spear, and it pierces through the mysterious creature. He smoothly descends, like a rose. The mysterious creature lets out a scream, like a frog being squished, and dies.

The white coated man slowly stands up and looks over here. On his head, he has a bizarre hairstyle like two horns. An appearance that, if you see once, you’ll never forget.

“Did you get bit?”

He fixes his sleeves and stretches his hand out towards me and helps me up.

“Yeah, I’m fine…”

“You’re lucky. These are called Rhinogradentia. It seems they got past the trap and somehow got into the mansion.”

He pulls out the spear and wipes away the green liquid that was on the tip with a swipe.

“Who are you?”

“My name——- is Shikiba Santa. People call me the Super High School Level Botanist.”

“Super High School Level…? Could that be…”

I heard about it. High school students with excelling ability gather in a government funded academy for privileged students. Wait, he’s a high school student? He doesn’t look like it from his appearance. Anyways, this Shikiba guy has an astounding presence to him.

“Oh, you’re here!”

This time from above, a girl’s voice can be heard.

Looking up, there’s a girl with a white coat standing above the stairs leaning over the railing. She waves her hand.

“Welcome to the Earth Plants Against Invaders Defense Force headquarters!”

Earth Defense… Headquarters…? Huh?

“Let’s talk about this in the other room. Please, follow me.”

Shikiba opens the door in the front. As if remembering something, before he enters the room he asks us,

“Are you ready for the high pressure responsibility of giving yourself up for the protection of Earth?”

“Uh? Sure…”

I feel like I’ve been asked something really cool. I don’t really understand what he meant, so I just said whatever.

“Well then, enter.”

We all follow Shikiba into the room.
