Yume100 Translations

The sun had completely set as we made our way through the forest and back to the castle.

 

With the coming of night, I was in a slightly cold room having my foot tended to.

 

Vairy: "…how's that?"

 

He put a cold cloth on my foot, his hands moving awkwardly.

 

OO: "…it's alright."

 

Jess: "Hey bro. Did you break the curse? I was thinking you were almost out of time and got worried."

 

According to what he said, Vairy is cursed…

 

Vairy: "…it's time for you to leave this country."

 

OO: "…!"

 

His sudden words stung, a pain rising in my chest.

 

Vairy dropped his hand onto my head.

 

Vairy: "…I mean, I can't stand seeing that look on your face. I've got the curse of the werebeast."

 

Bit by bit, Vairy started to tell me the story, his voice low.

 

Vairy: "It's a rare thing for someone of the royal line to be born with it…guess I got lucky. You saw the people in the town were half animal, half human right? That's what's normal. But with the curse, I totally change into a terrifying beast."

 

OO: "But you look the same as everyone else…"

 

Vairy: "It's fine now, but at night, it's the time of the beast. You heard the rumors. Someone must've seen me. Beasts are hated in this country…they're targets to be destroyed."

 

But that's so…

 

OO: "Is there a way to break the curse…?"

 

Vairy: "Dunno. I've heard people say that some of my ancestors were able to find a way, but I don't know how. …anyway, I'm almost out of time."

 

OO: "Out of time…?"

 

Vairy: "The curse has a special time limit. Once it passes, I'll completely change into a beast and won't be able to change back. Lately, I've spent longer and longer as a beast…I think my time's almost up."

 

Stopping there, Vairy turned his back on me.

 

Vairy: "I'll send a butler to take you tomorrow. I'll handle the prep."

 

[CHOICE]

• I want to stay here (SUN)

• Alright (MOON)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OO: "Please wait!"

 

I reflexively grabbed Vairy's arm as he went to leave the room.

 

OO: "…if you're really out of time, what do you plan to do?"

 

Vairy: "Leave this country and live out the rest of my life alone. It's what my ancestors did if they were cursed."

 

OO: "But…!"

 

Vairy's eyes seemed to waver as if in fear.

 

Vairy: "I'm scared, alright…! How would people see me as a beast… and if I give in to my anger, I could lose myself…I don't want to hurt you, or the people here…!"

 

Saying so, Vairy shook off my hand and left the room.

 

What should I do…?

 

Left alone, I could only stand there dazed and confused.

​

Vairy: "…geez, that guy. Here, hand it over."

 

Vairy: "…you smell good. Like the warmth of the sun."

 

Vairy…!

 

I raised my head as if sending up a prayer, then saw a massive tome entitled "Country Records" on the bookshelf.

 

OO: "Is this…the country's history?"

 

Taking the book in my hands, I intently scanned through the book, looking for any mention of the curse.

 

Anything…isn't there anything…?

 

After my hands had turned black from the ink on the pages…I found a mention of it.

 

~The curse can be broken through true love.~

 

OO: "True love…?"

 

There was only that short abstract about how to break the curse.

 

But without any other clues, I held tightly to that one hope.

 

Does Vairy know about this…?

 

At that realization, I took off and left the room.
