A transcript of part 7 of juicedup14 playthrough/translation of Kirigiri Sou, which you can watch here.

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

As it flies in the air, the plant explodes. I see the projection line in slow motion as I think back to a past memory…

A: My life flashed before my eyes.

B: I think of a death poem.

C: Before I die, please tell… oh nevermind.

My life flashed before my eyes.

When I was first born, when I was first able to do a pull-up, lots of things until I met Kirigiri.

Kirigiri!?

She’s running.

She’s aiming for the bomb.

She flies like an outfield catcher, she dives into the floor-Diving Catch!

And the potted plant falls into Kirigiri’s hand, she safely captured it.

“What are you doing!? You newb! You carless piece of trash!”

Kyouka raises her voice.

“Uh, I’m sorry.”

“We were about to get served up as diced steak for dinner if that happened!”

“But! There was something out there! The Rhinogradentia!”

“Outside?”

Kyouka aims her machine gun out the window, and secures the prememeter. But she immediately shakes her head.

“There’s nothing out there.”

“No, there really was something……”

“Even so, that’s not a good reason for you to let go of the bomb.”

Kirigiri gets up, and puts the claymore mine potted plant on top of the table, and fixes her hair. She’s surprisingly calm.

“I’m truly sorry……”

“Do be careful. We’d all get blown up to hell-”

Then, on the other side of the door an explosion was heard.

We widen our eyes, and look over to the door.

“What was that just now……?”

“That was the sound of a set explosive mines going off! It’s in the kitchen. Let’s go search.”

We frighteningly open the back door.

The same time we open it, we were met with the smell of smoke and gunpowder. There’s cooking utensils all over the floor, while the shelf doors are unhinged and broken.

It seems it was an explosive mine which detonated that was set up on the back small window. Looks like they blew up the whole window frame. There’s a huge hole in there.

“Isn’t that a bit too much power……”

Kirigiri was at a loss for words of that explosion’s fierceness.

“I don’t see the body of the Rhinogradentia. Could it have gotten turned into diced atomic meat? Ufufufufu……”

Kyouka can’t stop smirking at the effectiveness of the trap.

“This isn’t a time to laugh, Kyouka-san. Some Rhinogradentia might come in from there.”

I get closer to the exploded hole.

And then, I see perceiving eyes looking at me from the darkness.

“They’re here!”

The Rhinogradentia, feeling around and crawling, enter from the hole.

Not just one. But following the first one, two, three……lot’s of them crawl out from the hole.

“Their invasion’s begun! Go downstairs!”

Kyouka pulls the trigger from her machine gun. And the muzzle flash shines in the dark room, and bullet cases fly everywhere.

We crawl back into the backdoor.

“Retreat! Retreat!”

With Kyouka given us orders, we leave the room and close it.

At the same time, many Rhinogradentia hit themselves onto the door, and the whole room shacks.

Without even being able to breath, the dining hall windows break, and their noses stick out from the gaps of the bars.

As we sweep away from that, we run away into the reception room.

As we try to run away, from overhead a long and slender string wraps around my neck.

Is it the Rhinogradentia!?

“Oh……”

“I explained before!”

Kyouka takes out her knife, and opens up a path as she cuts the vine. That’s right, it was a trap that was laid over the ceiling.

“Calm down, take it slow.”

While trying not to hurry, I move to the door.

We once again return to the entrance hall.

But what welcomed us into the entrance, was that all of a sudden the entrance door breaks into pieces, and large Rhinogradentia crash inside.

It’s huge……it’s about twice the size that we’ve seen.

Large pieces of the door fly around, and large Rhinogradentia step on them and break them. It looks like there’s 5 or 6. The despair from seeing that sight, leaves us much to think about death.

“Get down!”

Kirigiri throws the claymore pot onto the large Rhinogradentia.

And it immediately explodes.

However what comes from the smoke, is green liquid from the Rhinogradentia. However it doesn’t fall as it writhes around.

It’s a nightmare.

It seems that the attack made them see Kirigiri as a threat. They let out a ground-shaking roar, as it charges towards Kirigiri.

It’s as fast as if a car’s acceleration was stepped on.

It’s impossible-we can’t be saved.

I look away from cruel reality, and unconsciously cover my head.

And Kirigiri screams that echo through the hall-almost like a frog was stepped on……

Wait!?

If I look closely, the large Rhinogradentia, four of them, are impaled into the wall. They died with a pierce.

The one who pierced them was a lance.

And from the broken door what appeared was a silhouette of……

“Captain!”

I unconsciously called him that.

It’s Captain Shikiba!

“That was a close one.”

Shikiba takes the lance out from the wall.

However in a moment’s breath, from behind Shikiba a large Rhinogradentia crashes in. This time there’s more of them.

“We have to give up on the first floor. Let’s head up the stairs.”

We follow Shikiba, and run up the stairs.

As we get to the second floor, Shikiba gives Kyouka a signal.

“Got it, now!”

Kyouka flips a switch on the wall.

All of a sudden, an explosion errupes the Rhinogradentia and I see them fly into the air with the explosion.

“This should buy us some time. Alright, everyone over here.”

Shikiba opens the door to a nearby room and enters.

With a glace I can tell it’s just a normal guest room. Inside were a bed, closet, and a shower with a bathroom. He flips the switch by the entrance, and turns on the light by the bedside.

Shikiba opens the closet, and pushes down on a hook.

And then the frame on the back of the closet opens slowly.

“It’s my secret laboratory.”

Bright fluorescent lights stings my eyes. It was a very organic smell that enveloped the area.

On the testing bench there are petri dishes and inspection tools laid around, and there’s a strange plant growing.

It seems we’ve survived……but it’s only a matter of time before they get us all.

“Do you have a plan?”

Kirigiri asks.

“Unfortunate to say……all I had planned was to set up the traps and hold a defense. Seeing as we don’t have any manpower. My plan was to train you all in battle, I’m sorry……”

“They just want to get through the traps in numbers.”

Kyouka’s even a bit frightened.

“Kirigiri-kun, as the Super High School Level Detective, what would you do at this time?”

Shikiba asks with earnest. It’s not something you should ask a detective…… but it was a dire situation.”

Kirigiri with crossed arms, thinks and walks around the room.

“There’s something that’s been bothering me, those creatures came from space, but they don’t seem very intelligent.”

That’s true, they just seem like large rats or octopus. That’s the impression I got.

“You shouldn’t judge them by their looks. The truth is they were on a UFO that can’t be explained by modern science.”

“It’s possible……that the Rhinogradentia are just pawns that they dispose of, and the true Super Galaxy Level Invaders are inside of the UFO. Basically-”

“Basically?”

“If we shot down the UFO, the invasion would stop.”

“Should stop……I see, is that it!”

Shikiba’s eyes lit up. Did he seriously not notice until now!?

“But Captain, how are we going to shoot down the UFO?”

Kyouka asks.

No one could answer, and it was quite. And in the first place we don’t even know where that thing’s flying.

“What is this?”

Kirigiri looks inside an orange fruit box that’s on top of the test bench.

“Oh, actually……”

Shikiba opens the lid. Inside was a blanket laid out, milk in a plate, and a Rhinogradentia, whimpering in the corner. It’s like an abandoned cat.

“It’s a prisoner that I found in the forest. I’m taking care of it as a research subject.”

Shikiba puts his finger in front of it. And as if playing, the Rhinogradentia sticks out its feeler.

“Could it be-”

Kirigiri said as if she thought of something.

“What is it?”

“That the Rhinogradentia are trying to take back their young.”

“Haha, that’s ridiculous.”

I chucked.

“No, we can’t be sure of that.”

Shikiba blurts out from his chair and stands up.

“Could it be that this prisoner is sending out cries in wavelengths we can’t hear, and communicating with his friends to save him……”

A. “Then we need to kill him!”

B. “Then we need to give him back!”

“Then we need to give him back!”

I stretch out and say.

“That’s right. This is our only negotiating card. In exchange for getting this little guy back, we’ll make it so that the Rhinogradentia go home.”

Kirigiri said while crossing her arms.

“Alright, let’s do that!”

Shikiba said. Even with no guarantee of this battle plan, he really wants to go through with it. But we have to do what the captain says.

“Well then, who will be in charge of negotiating?”

A. I take a step forward and raise my hand.

B. I look to Kirigiri.

C. I look to Kyouka.

D. I look to Shikiba.

juicedup chooses D

I look to Shikiba.

He raised his hand.

“I’m the one with the most responsibility. I’ll be the one to put an end to this battle.”

No one objected.

Shikiba is in front of us as he heads out into the hallway, while carrying the fruit box.

The Rhinogradentia climb over the exploded stairway, and reach the second floor.



I can see innumerable Rhinogradentia, all the way to the front of the hall.

While holding the fruit box, Shikiba goes right in front of them. He takes out the prisoner from inside, and leaves it on the floor.

They noticed the imprisoned Rhinogradentia, and they stop walking.

“Good, it’s working it’s working.”

Shikiba cheers.

The small imprisoned Rhinogradentia, confused, walks over to the other Rhinogradentia slowly.

And then all of a sudden, without even any contact the Rhinogradentia suddenly rush forward!

They step over the imprisoned Rhinogradentia and heads towards us.

“Run! Retreat! Go to the room way in the back of the hallway!”

At his orders, we run towards the back room in the hallway. I see an iron door at the dead end.

“Ah!”

I hear a voice. I turn around and I see that Kyouka fell over.

“Kyouka! Can you stand!?”

“Leave me and go!”

Kyouka raises her head as she’s laying on the floor.

“I can’t just leave you here!”

Shikiba runs.

“Captain!”

He goes back into the hallway, with a spear in his hand he raises.

Does he plan to stop their attack alone!?

“Now’s you chance, go, Kyouka!”

“Captain……!”

“Get up! Now, go!”

Kyouka stands up, and unsurely turns back towards Shikiba.

“Go!”

He says, with his back facing her.

Kyouka runs over to us.

At the same time, a Rhinogradentia attacks Shikiba. As if clinging to Shikiba’s body, they all pile up onto him.

“Oaaa, I won’t go out so easily!”

“Captain!”

We simultaneously scream. Except for Kirigiri.

“I leave the future of the world to you!”

Shikiba’s voice keeps echoing through the hallway.

And then from inside the pile his hand sticks out. If I look closely, he’s sticking his thumb out.

“Kyouka……the sakura tea you gave me……was delicious!”

Shikiba’s thumb goes into his hand, and flips a switch.

And then from inside the pile of Rhinogradentia, a light shines-

And explodes.

The Rhinogradentia get blown away, as smoke starts billowing.

As if running away from reality, we go inside of the iron door.
