Oboro-Kagerou Halloween Scramble

Oboro-Kagerou Halloween Scramble

NOTE: Kagerou speaks old style Japanese so it was hard to translate. Also, there are a shitton of Japanese festival terms that I had a hard time translating.

Part 1:

Oboro:
…..

Kagerou:
Oboro, how are you enjoying this festival so far?
It seems to me that you do not enjoy the atmosphere so far

Oboro:
It’s unlikely that I will enjoy it.
With the Faceless that are rampaging around everywhere.

Kagerou:
Well, most can see that the Faceless are an issue
But you seem to be more bothered by the festival or perhaps the night sky itself

Oboro:
Indeed, royal ninja
You are quite perceptive.
……
It’s nothing against this festival that I have a grudge against
I simply do not like the night sky as it is right now

Kagerou:
I can see why….
You lost your parents on a moonlight night like this as well

Oboro:
Sigh…
Ever since, when I look into the night sky, I remember that night
And I make such a twisted face

Kagerou:
I see….
If you do not mind me asking as a fellow retainer…
I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help you with this

Oboro:
It’s fine
I only remember this periodically
Please don’t worry about me too much and enjoy the festival
Furthermore, our priority is to defeat the Faceless
If we can’t even do that then….

Kagerou:
You are correct…


Part 2:

Kagerou:
Ah, she’s going to the festival

Oboro:
Kagerou, what are you doing?
Hiding in the woods…

Kagerou:
Ah, I’ve been caught here, wandering.
We might as well talk here,
I wanted to take you to the White-Night Festival to help you with your problem.

Oboro:
White Night Festival? (Someone corrected me. It refers to a festival in Hoshido)

Kagerou:
Oboro, you told me that the dark atmosphere here did not suit you.
Such a mentality would be bad to not enjoy the festival because of it
This would be good for you to have fun.

Oboro:
Kagerou…
Y-you’d do this for me?

Kagerou:
Indeed.

Oboro:
Heh…
But it is still a rather ominous atmosphere here
Even with the lights

Kagerou:
Ugh, and I thought I….

Oboro:
Hehehe, I’m joking
You are a nice person for doing this, Kagerou

Kagerou:
No, I’m not the reason why you have become happier
This festival is said to bring people closer together as friends
But it is also said that the festival has the power to heal traumatic memories
And bring happiness to those who come here
This was your own strength that caused this.

Oboro:
I did not do this alone.
I also did not have any sort of affinity with the festival
It was being around you, Kagerou, that made me feel better. It made all the difference in the world having a friend around.

Kagerou:
That makes me glad to hear…
To be honest, I’ve always wanted to talk to you in the past about a variety of things, but my missions never gave me the chance to do so.

Oboro:
I wish we had talked like this sooner.
Maybe it’s because you are a shinobi, but I feel like what I wanted to do with you would have gotten in the way of your missions.
I thought you would not be interested in it at all.

Kagerou:
What…?

Oboro:
The colors, the skies, and your hair
Talking about how to make your kimono, about those sorts of things
I wish I could have talked to you about this sooner

Kagerou:
As do I.
Perhaps this is what this festival has done to allow for these moments to occur in the future.

Oboro:
Hey, once we defeat the Facelss
Let’s make a promise to come back here and to talk like this again
So we can become even closer friends

Kagerou:
Even in a place as ominous as this?

Oboro:
I have decided to look at the moon as the midnight sun instead
If I think like this, there is no such thing as a dark moonlit night
So if I stay here, my mind becomes calmer, and I become happier with myself

Kagerou:
Heh, under the moonlight night, we shall meet like this again
As friends so that we may be closer to one another
