“ Phew…...” With a thud, the young man sat down and leaned against the base of the great tree, flinging aside his bags under the bower. *rustle…!* The leaves, fully grown and at peak condition, rustle overhead. A complex web of branches extend out to let the verdant leaves show their vivid color, full of life and vigor. The gentle breeze brushes off the man’s sweat-dampened cheek, giving a cooling sensation to his heated body.

What goes on when trying to translate Satan’s Space Amusement Park? Well, here’s some of the notes of whatever confusing joke passed by.

Several days passed after the amusement park incident. I headed to the Primp Town park like usual, meeting up with my good friends. I promised to play with Arle and Ringo today~! ♪ Now what shall we do~? There's tag, hide-and-seek, catch...It'll all be fun when I play with everyone. As I excitedly made way to the park, Ringo's already there and waiting. I waved my hand to say 'hello' to her, only to be met with something materializing outta nowhere. Right by her, that black shadow came to my sights.

"Alright Satan, haven't you learned enough!?" "You too Ecolo! I've had enough of your games!" The both of them scolded, Arle with a hand on her hip, and Ringo crossing her arms. Satan and Ecolo are right in front of them, both of them looking and feeling pretty sorry. Satan's down on his knees with a huge bump on the head, while Ecolo's nothing but the hovering space core thing on his chest. ...well, this is kinda surreal, actually.

Out of the maze and into safety, everyone was able to gather and meet. “Oh goodness. Why won’t they listen to why I needed to break down a labyrinth wall?” “Just because you say so, it doesn’t mean anyone else is allowed to! That’s illegal you know!” As Rulue grumbled and complained, Schezo was there to counter-argue. Meanwhile, Arle and Ringo took another peek at the stamp card to confirm where our next destination is... then an “Ah!” followed it.

“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.

“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."

"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.

“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.

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.

Hello-! The name’s Amitie! I’m a student of the Primp Magic School in the peaceful Primp Town! My dream is to become a wonderful magician.♪ I’m not that great at studying, and maybe a bit clumsy, but I’m always the cheerful one. Nice to meet you! I’m kinda in the middle of something right now. I’m at the park with my friends, Arle, Ringo, and also Carbuncle, in the middle of a game of tag!

Story by Yoshino Utako Art by Kome Ichigo Primp Town’s Festival, “Primp Festival” is approaching. Amitie and co. begin setting up their exhibits, and Lemres and Feli are here to help out! Feli, however, forsees a very grim fate… She visits Witch’s shop for something, but while working with Sig, he tells her to stop!! Right after, he disappears right in front of everyone…!? Taking the Stand! Trouble with Practice? Lemres and Feli’s Arrival The Uncanny Potion Sig’s Anxiety Calling it Quits!? Gotta Find Sig! The Mysterious Ruins Please, Come Back! Primp Festival ( Translation Notes ) ( Download the Scans! )

All the puns, wordplay, general nonsensical-in-straight-English things that slip by, and side things are explained here. If you’ve read the previous two 20th Anni.-era Light Novels, you pretty much know the drill. :P

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.

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?

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!
