Puyo Puyo~n Text Translation

(We’re still working on the video stuff, but here’s the translation for now!)

When Arle and Carbuncle arrived at the circus tent, a fanfare resounded. Now at last, the circus would begin. After the ringmaster’s welcome ended, the trapeze, ball-balancing, and the ring of fire acts proceeded. Speaking of which, didn’t that ringmaster somehow resemble someone familiar? As Arle was thinking that, suddenly the ringmaster called Carbuncle to the stage.

“I’ll make Carbuncle disappear,” the Ringmaster said.

Carbuncle happily bounced up to the stage. As anticipation filled the crowd, the ringmaster called something out, and Carbuncle vanished completely in smoke. The audience was thrilled! Arle was also amazed.

Before long, all acts of the show came to a close, and the Ringmaster addressed the crowd for the last time. Arle was very pleased, and she clapped with all her might. As the circus ended, the audience went home one after another. Arle was about to leave when she realized that Carbuncle was nowhere to be found. 

She appeared to have completely forgotten about it during the show. She tried to look around the backstage, but she was unable to find any traces of Carbuncle. Arle grew increasingly uneasy, and she went to ask other workers nearby. She was unaware that would be the first step of her long, unexpected journey.

Skeleton T

Arle: Uhm… Excuse me… Have you seen my Carby anywhere?

T: Carby? Huh…? …Izzat something delicious?

Arle: No, it’s not food…

T: Not food? In that case… I got it! Ya mean drink!

Arle: No, uhm…

T: When it comes to drinks, nothing’s better than Japanese tea. Don’t ya agree?

Arle: No, I don’t really… More importantly, Carby…

T: WHAT’D YA SAY?!

T: To not understand Japanese tea’s magnificence…

T: I’ll fix that attitude of yers right here and now!

Kikimora: Under your feet…

Arle: My feet… Huh?! No way, I’ve stepped on them?

Kikimora: As if that’d be possible.

Kikimora: …… Is there not a magic circle at your feet?

Arle: Ah, there is!

Kikimora: Now, bring what you are looking for to your mind’s eye.

Arle: What I’m looking for…Carby!

Arle: Carby… Carby…… Carby………

Arle: WAH! What?! What’s happening? What’s it going to do?!

Chico: Rather… That person seems like a doll himself!!

Arle: Satan! Where’s my Carby?!

Satan: Hm… What with you all…? Did you come to steal my Carbunny?!

Satan: Moreover, you brought your friends with you… Heh… You fool!!

Draco/Seriri: Ugh…! / Aah…!

Arle: Satan!! Where’d you put Carby?!

Satan: Hm…? Arle…? Why are you in a place like this?

Arle: “Why”… Cause you took Carby here!

Satan: ……. Arle, what are you saying…?

Satan: There’s no way that I would run off with Carbunny against its will!

Arle: What, playing innocent?!

Satan: I don’t know what I don’t know!

Arle: ……

Satan: ……

D. Arle: He doesn’t know anything.

Arle: W…who?!

D. Arle: Ahahaha… You did well to get here, Arle… But you’re far too slow. Since Carbuncle is mine.

Arle: Who are you?! W…where are you hiding?!

D. Arle: Here, Arle…

Arle: Aren’t you Pierrot…? Why did you take Carby…? …Give me back Carby!

D. Arle: No way. After all, Satan went out of his way to bring it to me.

Arle: …Then I’ll force you to give it up!!

D. Arle: Ahahaha. Well then, can you really?

D. Arle: Defeating me… I’ll teach you just what that means!

Arle: …Eh? Another…me…?

D. Arle: I’m starting.
