Long-time no see, everyone!
(Sound effect: Nepu)
Coming back with the 10th year anniversary of Dengeki Maoh, it’s Goddess Idol Neptune!
Since this is a special –
We’re having an exciting and naughty pyjama party in a certain cottage in the forest of Planeptune!
(Arrow: Around here)
A slacking-off-from-work pyjama party!
(Sound effect: !? COUGH!!)
We also have a fitting surprise for a festival like this!
Behold! The special guests --- !

Page 2:
From “Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory”, Pururu!
Similarly from “Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory”, Peashy!
And from “Megadimension Neptunia VII”, Uzume!
Wow…
(An unbelievable situation…)
I don’t want a surprise like this…

Page 3:
…Are they dead? They're dead, aren't they?
Who would’ve done such a cruel thing…!
Then we have a dying Histy over here who’s been overshadowed by all the new characters…
No, I’m pretty sure that’s your fault. (Take a good look with your eyes.)
Nep…tune…
(Sound effect: shake)
Histy! You can’t talk right no-
Didn’t you tell me….that you finished…all your work…
Oops, sorry! I kinda lied to you, Histy!
I only allowed…… the pyjama party…because of that….
HISTY!

Page 4:
Looks like this makes a total of 4 victims…
Victims…?
Aren’t they?
No matter how you look at them, they don’t look like accidents or suicides, which means…
There’s a perpetrator.
(Sound effect: Beru[they’re just using Vert’s name here as a sound effect, like Nepu])
The perpetrator is probably…
(Sound effect: Creak)
Among us…
Excuse me…
Uni! Nepgear!
Isn’t she…doing some kind of dying message…
NEPU’S[This is the message Peashy is writing]
WHAT A SIMPLE AND DIRECT DYING MESSAGE!
(Sound effect: BAAAAAAAN) (Kinda like the Inception BWANNNNNN Lol)

Page 5:
N…No no!? That’s probably some sort of homage! Like “Nepu’s pudding”!
(The thing from V!)
Bu…but the doll that Plutia’s holding is also…
Th…that’s m….
(Doll sound effect: Shakes)
IT’S MEEEEEEE! IT’S A MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Hm? Then does Uzume have anything as well…?
(Sound effect: Doooooooon!)
WHY! WHY ISN’T THERE ANYTHING!?
(It’s helpful, but...!)
Well this confirms the identity of the perpetrator.
(Good job Uni)
Hey…Wait up!
I didn’t do it!

Page 6:
I-i-i-isn’t it always the perpetrator that calls out the perpetrator who is the real perpetrator!?
I have no idea what you’re trying to saying.
This means? Uni? It’s you isn’t it?
IT’S ALL QUESTIONS!
Uni!?
Uni!? (I mean this one is Uni-chan but…eh)

Page 7:
Ne…Neptune… So it was you…
No wait…
Huuuhhhh? I have no idea what’s going on either!?
Don…Don’t tell me you’ve done the same thing to my little sisters….?
Little sisters…? You mean Rom and Ram...?
They’re sleeping soundly upstairs…
(Nepuuu…)
WHY ARE YOU SAYING THAT SO CREEPILY!?
Hey, wait up, Blanc!
(Switch)

Page 8:
Thank god… Rom…Ram…
Wait up Blanc! I told you I didn’t do it!
THE LIGHTS!?
I can’t see anything…
Woah! What is this…so soft and…
So soft…
…Hmm?
This time it’s something hard…
H-hey, don’t push something hard against me!
Waahh, this... isn’t okay….
…Hmm?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Page 9:
(drip drop)
VERT DON’T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!?
Hey listen to me? Hey?
Wait up…?
No…please don’t come this way…
Why are you showing off your boobs!?
You’re aiming for my body next…right…?
VERT!? STOP!?

Page 10:
Ah…
VERT!?
KYAAAAAAAAAAAAH
NOIRAAAAAAAAH!?
It sounded like a double kill!
What even happened…?

Page 11:
[note that Nepgear, when speaking about Neptune, refers to her as Onee-chan. I replaced nearly all of these instances with "Neptune", "you" etc]
Neptune…
NEPUUUUUUUUU!?
HEY! IT’S NOT ME OKAY!? I DIDN’T DO IT OKAY!? NEPGEAR WOULD UNDERSTAND RIGHT!?
O-of course I understand, Neptune
I knew you’d believe me Nepgear! Only Nepgear would believe in me! Weird, I am feeling lonelier as I speak!
There doesn’t need to be any goddesses other than you, right…?
JUST AS I THOUGHT THINGS WERE GOING TO BE OKAY! AND WHY ARE YOU SAYING SUCH A SCARY-SOUNDING THING!?[Note: second part was more like "and what the heck was that{referring to what nepgear said}? scary!" I changed it to flow better in English, alterations welcome]

Page 12:
It was weird to have multiple goddesses to start off with anyway.
Eh!? What’s with the sudden burn on the original!?
We only need the goddess the series is named after anyway…
Ne….Nepgear?
That’s when I realised, Neptune….It’ll be fine once all the other goddesses are gone…
Uh…Uhmmm….
But that alone isn’t enough…I have to show off your strength…So I worked so hard you see? For you…To make it look like you did all this…
Wait…so…the perpetrator was…
That's right.
It was me. [might be a reference to Jojo?]
(Geaarrrr)

Page 13:
I took care of everyone one by one with the ashtray…
I DON’T REALLY UNDERSTAND BUT WHAT’S WITH THAT ASHTRAY'S DAMAGE!?
This way…my beloved sister[onee-chan] will be the cutest, strongest, the one and only in the entire universe…across all dimensions…
WHAT!?
I’m flattered by the thought Nepgear…But it’s a bit on the heavy side for me…
Hmm?

Page 14:
NEPUUU!?
Neeeppyyy~[this was nepu-chaaaaan]
It was a~
(Sign: Prank Great Success)
Wha…A prank!?
Just a spooky prank~
Pururu you’re too slow!
Since you’re always making us worried and scared-
We thought doing something like this for once would be refreshing, right?
Special Surprise Operation was a great success!

Page 15:
Ju-Just a prank… We-well at least Nepgear didn’t actually kill anyone…
Sorry about that, Neptune.
But to me you're still the cutest, strongest and the one and only goddess okay…?
WHAT!
I mean it sure was refreshing.
But you guys still don’t understand what a true surprise is. (Doesn’t even feel like a special.)
I guess I’ll have to be the one to show you all…
THE REAL SURPRISE!
Neptune disappeared!?
…Hmm?
??
Nep…Tune…?
Ah…
Ahhh!?

Page 16:
THIS IS MY TSUNAKO PICTURE* (Surprise)!!!! (*Tsunako is the illustrator that did work on some of the Neptune games)
SURPRIIIIIIIIIIIIIISE!!
H-How did you manage to get that!?
How? I just asked her normally…
That’s cheating!
The surprise wasn’t even from you!
(Please get back to wor-)
(This was the biggest surprise from Histy!)
