This is the magic lucky word count. Reblog for creativity juice. It might even work, who knows.
As usual, canāt guarantee 100% accuracy on this. Iām doing this for archiving purposes and you can probably find a better translation out there. Some dialogue's taken directly from the English version's prologue.
This world, itās full of despair.
It comes in different forms, both big and small.
Even so, it wears down on the mind all the same, and can even take lives.
(Iāve been searching for a way to fight against it)

Ellis: Thanks for queueing with me, Roger.
This morning, Ellis had asked me out of the blue to go with with him to a cafe that looked like something out of a picture book as a āfavorā.
In a space that was full of women, Ellis and I drew curious glances.
Roger: So, what the hell is that āthingā making people queue up so early in the morning?
The cafe recently went through some renovations and the first 30 customers would get some kind of gift.
Ellis: A tin of biscuits. Itās something Harry wanted but since heās on a mission, I came in his place.
Roger: Haha, so thatās it. Then Iāll give him my share too ācause having two will make him āhappierā than having one.
The man sitting in front of meās been busy making people happy today.
Ellis: By the way, I had some business at the pub yesterday and a woman asked me where Roger was. I gave her some excuse because I know you donāt like dealing with that kind of trouble.
Iām someone that doesnāt believe in romantic love.
Itās something thatās not scientifically proven. If āromantic loveā does exist in this world, thenā¦
(Itās a dysfunction of the brain or a misunderstanding caused by sexual desire)
Seems like Ellis knew me well.
Roger: Youāre too good for Jude, you know. Iāll buy you drinks as thanks.
Ellis: Yippee. Ah, I think Iāll get something for Jude. Iām going to take a look around, okay?
Roger: Do what you want. Pick what would make Jude āhappyā.Ā
As I watched Ellis make his way into the store with nimble stepsā
(...Hm?)
I heard a voice cutting into this peaceful morning coming from the flower shop across the street
Flower shop owner: The delivery was delayed due to construction? Ha, how typical for a female postal workers.
I couldnāt see the face of the postwoman that was getting yelled at from here.
However, with my ears that let me pick up sounds 100 yards away, I could hear her heartbeat.
It was unsteady, probably because she was scared.
(āHow typical for a female.ā ā¦What a bastard)
(If it escalates, Iāll step inā)
In the moment, her dignified voice rang out.
Kate: My sincerest apologies! I will be more careful in the future. For now, will you please accept this?
The man who was yelling is taken aback, likely feeling guilty after her apology.
Flower shop owner: Y-yeah⦠As long as you understand. Just be careful from now on.
I heard her let out a deep breath.
(So that postwomanās someone that tries to be strong⦠Not bad)
Ellis: Iām back, Rogerā¦.Is something wrong?
Roger: No? Wow, you bought a lot?
Ellis: I wanted to get something for everyone. Iāll ask Victor to make tea and we can all have them together. Oh yeah, speaking of Victorā¦He said he has a mission for all of Crown.
Roger: Oh? Having us all togetherās pretty rare. Could be an annoying one so letās try not to get hurt.
--
Having said that, it ended without a single injury or incident.
āAt least it was supposed to until an uninvited guest wandered in.
The woman standing there covered in blood, looking pale, was neither cursed nor a target. Just unlucky.
Jude: Tchā¦Thatās why I toldja to lock the damn door!
Roger: Haha, well I didnāt think weād have a trespasser! Sheās a naughty lilā thing, isnāt she?
My ears picked up an irregular heartbeat.
(...This sound. ā¦No way)
āBut that hunch soon came true.
The lilā lady called Kate who stumbled upon Crown was presented to the palaceās grim reaper like a main dish.
(Now that she knows some classified info, she canāt leave without consequences)
(Worst case scenario, what waits for her isā)
Then, the lilā lady in her hopeless situation spoke up with a dignified voice.
Kate: I swear Iāll never tell anyone about anything I just heard!
Victor: Hmmā¦Hm? Whatās this?
Kate: I swear to protect your secret. I-Iām a letter carrier, and weāve been trained toā¦maintain strict confidentiality!
Victor and William: ā¦
Kate: If you think you canāt trust me, then go ahead and keep me under watch until you believe you can! I promise Iāll prove it.
A brave and logical proposal.
However, despite her demeanor, her heartbeat continued pounding in my ears.
The sound that didnāt match the attitudeāit had me convinced.
(Ahā¦so sheās the postwoman from that time)
Her loud heartbeat gave away her true feelings.
(āPlease donāt kill meā)
Among the anxiety was the strong desire to live and fight against despair.
(...Nice. This lilā lady could be interesting)
I didnāt feel any sort of love or affection, but I felt this strange exhilaration in my heart.
So I thoughtāIt'd be a shame to kill her.
(Come to think of it, at that timeā¦)
I did āhearā her footsteps and heartbeat when she wandered in.
I couldāve made her avoid Crown.
(But I didnāt)
(Deep down, I was waiting for āsomethingā...which is probably why I invited this heartbeat in)
I could imagine how angry this lilā lady would be if she knewā¦
Victor: Well, well, what a good idea! I think we can actually make use of you. Accepted!
Kate: ā¦Really?
Victor: Letās seeā¦All right, from today forward, you shall be Crownās own personalā¦Fairytale Keeper!
Under the command of Victor, the Queenās aide who controls Crown, enigmatic position of āFairytale Keeperā was filled by Kate, saving her life.
Roger: Letās try to get along this month, yeah?
Kate: Of course, Roger.
--
Ellis: Hey, Roger. Earlier, why did you look like you were having fun?
Roger: Earlier?
Ellis: When we were discussing whether or not to kill Kate.
(...This guy can really read people)
Roger: Wellā¦I guess itās ācause itās been a while since I saw something interesting.
Ellis: Hehe, I see. Then⦠Would Kate being here overthrow your theoryā¦and make you happier?
Basically he was asking if Iād fall in love with Kate and be happy.
Roger: Ellis, youāre aware of my curseā¦right?
Ellis: The double-crossing hunter from Snow White.
Roger: Rightā¦The queen had ordered the hunter to bring her the heart of the detestable Snow White. But the hunter betrayed the queen by letting the girl go in the forest and instead, brought the queen a heart of an animal. After that, Snow White met a prince after her life was savedā¦And now hereās a question. Why do you think Snow White chose the prince instead of the hunter who saved her life?
Ellis: Huh?...I donāt know.
Roger: Because thatās just how itās supposed to be. Because thereās supposed to be a happy ending.
Not to mention the fact that this is reality, not a fairy tale.
A man who doesnāt believe in love and a little robin whoāll leave after the monthās upāthe relationship wonāt develop into love or affection.
(...Thatās what I think)
(But then why does my heart beat weirdly when I look at the lilā lady?)
that beautiful tall dommy ukrainian cosplayer lady who's big with the chinese lesbians is so awesome because she probably drowned her abusive husband in the indonesian ocean and no one cares
Morgan: look Petey! I lost a tooth!
Peter: wow! That's great Morgan! Are you excited for the tooth fairy to come visit you?
Morgan: yeah! I wanna see if she's nice or if she's as scary as people say she is!
Peter: what are you talking about? The tooth fairy isn't scary!
Morgan: but she takes peoples teeth! She must keep them in her mouth, so she must have LOADS of teeth! Lots of ity bity teeth in a HUGE mouth!
Peter: ...
Harley: well, at least she's excited about it?
Jean: *avoiding stepping on cracks in the sidewalk*
Mozart: What are you doing
Jean: Avoiding the buttcracks on the pavement
Mozart:
Jean: Dazai has informed me that stepping on them will guarantee that ma mĆØre will break her back
Mozart: Jean your mother has been dead for centuries
Jean: You... are not wrong
Mozart: And she was awful to you
Jean: She was?
Mozart: Did you not read your route?
Jean: Barring the fact that I can't read, how does one read a path? Are you referring to palm-reading? *stares seriously at his palm*
Mozart: No, Jean. Your story in the Ikemen Vampire dating simulation
Jean:
