Satan’s Space Amusement Park Chapter 7 - The Queen!? The Mega Labyrinth

Image
“Urgh, somehow, I don’t remember much about anything...” “A-Ah, it’s alright if you don’t recall a thing. After a while, Ringo snapped out of her funk. I could only give a rather hazy chuckle while I shouldered her around. Uhm, In actuality, I’m kinda happy that she doesn’t remember anything about earlier... "Incidentally, Arle." Once Ringo is safe and sound, we headed off to the next destination...or we should be until Schezo talked to Arle.

Satan’s Space Amusement Park Chapter 6 - Fear!? The Haunted Mansion

Image
“Well then, where do you suggest be our next visit?” Schezo asked Arle, after calming down again. She took a look at the stamp rally card. “Let’s see...the next one is a haunted mansion.” “Eep!?” Ringo froze up upon hearing Arle say that. “What’s up, Ringo?” I looked at her. “W-W-Well...I must decline.” “Huh, what for?” “But it’s not any ordinary mansion, it’s a...” “A haunted mansion?” “THAT, YES THAT!” “You can’t handle haunted mansions, Ringo? Not too good with ghosts?” “Now you’re just repeating yourself! Stop that! It’s driving me to tears!” “Uh...” “A-Are you serious, Ringo?” “Gugugugugu...?”

Once the contest was done, Draco-Centaur and Witch gave us the slip before we even knew it. "I think they probably got sent back to the world they were before." Arle commented, sounding concerned about the two. "Yeah, though those two are quite the chaotic pair, huh? Are they alright I wonder...?" I anxiously pondered, only to get a puzzled look and a chuckle from Arle. "Come on. Sure Satan is a bit of a nutcase, but he's not all that evil. He tends to run his mouth for an eternity, but in reality he's got good intentions. It's hard to explain...He's that guy that you feel sorry for, but you can't really be too hard on."

Satan’s Space Amusement Park Chapter 4 - The Beauty Contest!

"We finally got the second stamp, Carby!" "Gu gugu!" "What kind of attraction is the next one, I wonder..." Everyone briskly passed through the garden in this discussion. Whatever's waiting for us, I'm a bit nervous...but at the same time, kinda excited. That's how I feel about this.

  The Puyo Quest 4-Koma Collection Published Dates: Part 1 - October 19, 2015 Part 2 - December 8, 2015 Part 3 - January 5, 2016 A relatively quick translation that took only 10-20 minutes for all three. Not much translation notes to go by, except for a little editing thing I did for Panel 2-2. Had to draw in Ringo’s hair antenna by hand because the original text was overlapping it.

Satan’s Space Amusement Park Chapter 3 - Strange Hospitality

Image
“So then, after we have a good time here, we’ll be able to head back home?” I recapped and pulled myself together, first and foremost. "That sounds incredibly fun, actually! Hey hey, let's go and enjoy ourselves!" I declared, darting my attention all over the place. There so many horse figures lined up over here, a trolley that we could ride on, and a tent that couldn't be anything other than a circus tent! Wherever I look, it's all decorated with really pretty beads of light that's radiantly shining in a rainbow of colors.

Satan’s Space Amusement Park Chapter 2 - A Special Amusement Park!?

Image
As noted, the three of us were dragged along to an unfamiliar land, hands held together, with Carbuncle in Arle’s arm. "...where are we?" I timidly asked. Everything I see is black, but I see a night sky from above us. But it's not the usual night sky I know. The glimmering stars scattered about are so big in detail one-by-one. I don't think I could get on the crescent moon like a boat, but it's about as big as one.

I’m at the park with my friends, Arle, Ringo, and also Carbuncle, in the middle of a game of tag!

Sig’s Secret Chapter 10 - Primp Festival

Image
It’s Primp Festival day! The town’s decorated here and there with balloons, flowers and even more, and there's little fireworks are going pow-pow when launched into the sky. And right there there's the echoing sounds of instruments and a singer trying to compete for attention. On this path, the stands are all packed close to each other, each with their own colorful eye-grabbing styles. Everyone's got a smile walking down here. I wonder what interests them? I still get excited either way.

Sig’s Secret Chapter 9 - Please, Come Back!

Image
As I kept running on down the path of these ruins, the only things on my mind were the ever-smiling Lemres and Witch's potion to be used on specifically on Sig. I am so sorry for causing such a huge stir! I was ready to shout the first thing on my mind, but the door to the last room was already open before me, which is not what I expected at all. The first thing that popped right in front of my sights was Lemres, on his knees and back turned. And further back, there was Sig. Uhm...it IS Sig, right?

Sig’s Secret Chapter 8 - The Mysterious Ruins

Image
While there's nothing the genius Lemres can't do, I don't think he's the one to end all of this and use the potion he got from Witch on Sig. That's all I could think of, not wanting to stop. I may be a klutz, and I know Sig's getting dangerous. I'm sorry. So sorry. Really sorry. I've gotta see him right now. I can't sit down and give up!

Sig’s Secret Chapter 7 - Gotta Find Sig!

Image
"Okay then, let's not waste any time and get Sig!" "Yeah, let's go!" "Guu!" "Right with you!" Arle and Carbuncle, and Ringo continued on with me. I'm not losing my way. I've got two reliable friends...Oh, and Carbuncle too! ...Yeah, it's great being able to take that brave step forward. One hour later...

Sig’s Secret Chapter 6 - Calling it Quits!?

Image
And by the next day, Sig's back to his usual self. His usual emotionless and unresponsive, flighty-as-always, absent-minded self. On the other hand, he was all silent when he went home the other day. Everyone was all "You're acting really unusual, Sig." or "Are you going to look for bugs?" getting all concerned and stuff, but that's pretty much it. I'm a worrying trainwreck. But when I tried to ask him something... "It's nothing." That's all I'm getting out of him. Besides that,  I don't have any more to ask. Hmm... Don't tell me Sig's getting tired with the cafe business. No no no, it can't be that! But still, it might be that. ...I'm throwing myself into a loop just thinking about it.

Sig’s Secret Chapter 5 - Sig’s Anxiety

Image
Primp Festival is getting closer by the day. For just that day, Sig and I went to the park to decorate the cafe. Looking at it now, it looks like we did a lot of work on the festival prep. The Primp townfolk are sure to be out and about at the stands of course, with a big stage placed at the heart of it all, complete with some hanging lanterns. I'm getting hyped up by just looking at it! Sig and I lined up the tables and chairs Arle and Ringo built, while Raffine and Klug are setting up the framework. When that's ready, the colorful cloth can be put up to make a roof-like shape...okay, it's looking more like a cafe now! On top of that, we got the origami stars and flowers all hung up, and to round it off, everyone's lining it with moonsunflowers.

Sig’s Secret Chapter 4 - The Uncanny Potion

Image
And the next day has come. I headed over to the park like usual, meeting up with Arle, Ringo, and Carbuncle. "Whew~..." Right before me, Arle and Ringo had already set up the table and chairs from the day before yesterday. The table was made with wood boards and sturdy thick poles, and the chairs were small stools. Sure they're simple, but somehow they're really cute!

My first scanlation! Someone wanted this translated for a comic dub, so I decided to step in. Since this is a short piece, translation notes are going right here. And  HOO BOY, TRANSLATING ANYTHING FROM YU AND REI IS A NIGHTMARE. I did not get the first question at all, or if there was a pun in there in the first place.  I just did it semi-straight, trying to make it sound as rhythmic as possible. I even struggled with the second question’s pun, where the answer was “おんねん” or “malice”. Since it originally asked for “何年(なんねん)”, I needed some kind of word play. Which…I did by rhyming the word 8 a bunch of times. As for the last question, I had to change the reason because it involved a writing system pun. And that’s untranslatable in English. The original reason was that “Carbuncle can win (かったかな, the verb used) because his name is written in Katakana (カタカナ).” Since Puyo was localized into “Puyo Pop” for a long time and you  POP PUYO , I ran with that.

Sig’s Secret Chapter 3 - Lemres and Feli’s Arrival

Image
A few days ago, Sig and I, as well as Raffine and Klug, stayed at the Magic School classroom after classes to make decorations and signs. As for Arle and Ringo, they're over at the park tables and chairs to prepare. Things were going pretty calm, chatting away while we work, until a voice suddenly echoed though the door and into the classroom.

Sig’s Secret Chapter 2 - Trouble with Practice?

Image
Sig's spacing out like usual. But that's besides the point here. While everyone's bustling about, he's always going step by step making an image for himself. He rarely ever shows emotion or expression. When he catches sight of bugs, which he really likes, he gets a bit too serious about them and has a "Appears to be laughing?" kind of face. As for me, I'm always the cheery but hasty one, and whenever something goes wrong, everyone says "Amitie is really easy to read." Uh~m, Sig really needs to work hard as the Sub-Leader, huh. I'm already worried. ...that's ’cause since I was chosen to be the Leader that day, I'd have to talk about a bunch of things with Sig on the way home...

Everyone’s Dreams, Coming True!? Chapter 10 - Amitie’s Dream

Image
At least there's no class the next day too. I got dressed early in the morning, and made my way to the park, thinking I could meet with everyone. Arle and Ringo weren't here when I got there though. Did I come a bit too early? How should I wait it out... I looked around here and there trying to come up with something...until something startled me. At the other side of the park, I saw Sig, spacing out from under the tree. It was just him, back towards me, and appears to be looking for something up in the tree. Is it just me, or am I having a bit of déjà vu...? "G...Good morning, Sig. What'cha doing?"

Everyone’s Dreams, Coming True!? Chapter 9 - Am I Still Dreaming...?

Image
"Schezo!" Arle called. I turned around, and yep, the Dark Wizard is standing right there. "You three. How are you faring on waking all that have touched the Dream Chest?" Schezo asked again. I stuck out the V-Sign to answer. "Goody goody! Perfect! We've surely got them all!" "I see. Quite appreciated." I brought the good news, but he didn't even crack a smile.

Image
" Hiya Amitie! " *THUD!* *THUD!* "S- S-S-S-S-S-SIG!?" When he came in sight, he turned out to be REALLY HUGE. He didn't say anything about becoming a tall adult. Instead, he's a giant that's over ten times my height!

Everyone’s Dreams, Coming True!? Chapter 7 - Wonderful Magician?

Image
Other than Sig, I can’t think of anyone else that touched the little chest off the top of my head. Everyone went and tirelessly looked for him, but no one’s seen him. We see him all over the place, but we didn't realize we didn't go back to check the park, the first place we saw him. Though, we were getting a bit tired from the goose chase, so we took a break and went into chit-chat mode.

Everyone’s Dreams, Coming True!? Chapter 6 - The Lovely Couple!?

Image
The next person that touched the box that comes to mind was Rulue. With that said, everyone’s tagging along to look for her in the forest, the same place we saw her yesterday. She was in the middle of her own lessons, and Arle let out a big sigh. “Waking up Rulue...I don’t think we can do that, huh, Carby?” “Gu~gu~” “Why? Haven’t you known her for a long time? Then surely you’ll be able to see right through to her! Don’t you think so?” I asked. Arle let out a chuckle and looked away from me.

Everyone’s Dreams, Coming True!? Chapter 5 - Maguro and Ringo

Image
"Schezo said the Dream Mist's influence is particularly strong on anyone who touched the box." "Then that means Maguro's at risk. Let's go find him!" As what Arle and Ringo said, the next one we're going to look for is Maguro. First of all, we headed over to where we saw him yesterday. "About Maguro, what kind of dream will we see from him?" I asked as I walked alongside Ringo, and she tilted her head.
