A Rudimentary Translation of: The Dark Mage, Schezo
Track 04: 闇の魔導師シェゾ || The Dark Wizard, SchezoComposers: Asami Imai, Mie Sonozaki, Tamaki Nakanishi, Shiho Kikuchi, Kaoru Sakura, Noriko Nami
(The video here is not mine, it's from the channel "The Madou Puyo Archivist." It's just here so you can follow along the translation with audio)
So, I was already considering doing something like this, since so many of these Puyo Drama CDs remain untranslated as far as I could find. But upon seeing this post from @douglasanondr, I ended up checking out this particular CD, and after deciding that it seemed doable, I got to work.
I'm definitely not fluent in Japanese yet, so some parts are missing with a summary of the general gist, and the phrasing isn't always the most accurate, but! This fandom needs all the translators it can get, so even if I'm not the "best" person for the job, I still wanted to contribute. I also included translator notes when applicable.
With the preamble out of the way, I hope you all enjoy it!
-The Dark Mage, Schezo-
Schezo: S-stop it! Don't lay a hand on him!
Witch: Aaaand… got it!
Schezo: Please, Witch! Stop!!
Witch: Now then, here we go! *cheerful effort sound*
Onion Pixie: *despair noises*
---
Witch: *giggles* I've gotten the magic skins from this big ol' onion!
Onion Pixie: *sad onion noises*
Schezo: O-Onion's skin…! YOU DEMON! VILLAINESS!!
Witch: What's the problem? I only took a single piece of it, it's fine!
Schezo: But he's so cute, don't you feel bad for him?!
Witch: …You…
Schezo: What?!
Witch: Somehow, it feels like you've grown soft.
Schezo: Huh?
Witch: Like, it feels as though even you're expression's gotten softer than before.
Schezo: Hmph! What nonsense are you speaking? I am the Dark Mage, Schezo. To say I'm soft--
Witch: Yeah, yeah. Well, it might just be a misunderstanding on my part. Now then, have a nice day!
---
Schezo: I've gotten soft, she says? Hmph! That can't be… but then again, it might be possible that I've been influenced by this place called Primp in some ways, lately. After all, it's peaceful and quiet here--
Amitie: Ah! It's Mr. Pervert! Heyoo~!
Sig: Pervert--!
Lidelle: H-hello!
Schezo: Who. are you. calling. A PERVERT?!
Amitie: Hahaha! Sorry, sorry! [something I can't make out] But honestly, what does "pervert" mean, anyway?
Sig: "Pervert…"
Sig: I'll explain! It is the process of a bug changing its shape, with the purpose of developing from a pupa into a proper insect.
Lidelle: So that's what it means…
Sig: Uh-huh.
Amitie: Impressive!
Schezo: Who are you talking about?!
Amitie: Hey, Mr. Pervert, when will you transform into one?
Schezo: I WON'T!
[Side note: this might be a play on the words "hentai" (pervert) and "henshin" (transform). Perhaps Sig got the second half of the words mixed up?]
Lidelle: Aah! I-I'm scared…
Amitie: Whoops, I guess we got him angry?
Schezo: Hmph! Do as you please! Farewell!
---
Schezo: The children here sure are carefree, and stupid, and full of it! [another thing I can't make out, he might be proclaiming himself a "stoic"] If I've gotten soft, then it's their fault! I need to look for a way back…!
*sounds of Raffina training*
Raffina: Not done yet! RAFFINA SPECIAL!
*boom!*
Schezo: Hey, you.
Raffina: KYAA!
Schezo: What are you doing?
Raffina: I-interrupting a lady's training, that's awfully rude of you!
Schezo: I see. Training, huh?
Raffina: Yes, pay attention! …If you would!
Schezo: But if you're training to be a mage, you shouldn't be practicing martial arts, but spells… hm?
Raffina: Shut up, if you please! That's my choice, isn't it?!
Schezo: I see, you're similar to Rulue, then.
Raffina: Huh?
Schezo: You're not very good at spells, so you use martial arts, isn't that right?
Raffina: H-how… how do you know about that?
Schezo: I understand power when I see it.
Raffina: Ah, is that so? Well, that's enough. Get going along to somewhere else. I need to continue my training. …Hey, wait!
Schezo: Hgk! What with this?! It's quite heavy…
Raffina: Don't just randomly try to pick up one of my dumbbells!
Schezo: Well, I'm somewhat interested in it. However, I think it's a little too heavy for a "lady"--
Raffina: It's not "a little too" anything! If I'm going to aim for the top of my school, then I'm going to need strong muscles!
Schezo: Hmm.
Raffina: Wh-what?
Schezo: Why do you work so hard for that?
Raffina: Huh?
Schezo: This "Primp" place is quiet and peaceful. You don't need to be strong to live here. Even the magic school's students are peaceful simpletons. I don't think it's necessary for you to go to so much trouble for it.
Raffina: I don't understand what you're babbling about!
Schezo: Like I said…
Raffina: I'm doing all of this to reach my ideal self. Whether it's peaceful or not, I don't care in the slightest! O~hohohoho!
Schezo: Ahh! I see… Heh. I get it now.
Raffina: Huh?
Schezo: It's nothing. I just think you have the right idea.
Raffina: Well, I'm not really sure what you mean, but alright. That aside, you mentioned the other students from the magic school earlier, right?
Schezo: That I did.
Raffina: They're… t-they're, they're sort of my friends, so I would rather you didn't make fun of them.
Schezo: Hm?
Raffina: It's true that they're awfully carefree, but at the same time… well, at least to some extent, they're working hard, too.
Schezo: Oh?
Raffina: That's why, I've decided that I'm going to shine the most out of all of them!
Schezo: Hm.
Raffina: So… um, so that's… hm? AAAH, I FOUND HIM!
Schezo: AAH, what's this, all of a sudden?!
Raffina: It's him, it's him! It's that guy I've been seeing that guy a lot around here lately!
Schezo: Hm? That's… Satan?!
Raffina: [can't quite make out what she says here, but basically she plans to challenge him to a Puyo Battle]
Schezo: Wait, no, he's--!
Raffina: Hold it! You there!
Satan: Hm? And the reason this person is interrupting the Demon King's lovely stroll would be…?
Raffina: You're pretty strong, aren't you? [Another thing I can't quite make out, she's making an offer of some kind but it doesn't immediately sound like it has the word "battle" in it]
Satan: Hmph. How interesting… to approach the great Satan, you must be strong yourself, no?
Raffina: *giggles*
Satan: I won't treat anyone who comes at me differently, even if they're a girl. Let's go!
Schezo: W-wait!
Raffina: O~hohoho! That's exactly how I want it!
*puyos go bloop bloop*
Satan: Ohh? It seems you're actually pretty good. However, it's too bad; nobody else can match the great Satan! Let's go, Catastrophe!
Raffina: H-he's fast! There's no way I can keep up! My chain isn't enough, it's going to collapse!
[I couldn't make out if she actually said "collapse" or not but it was the closest thing that made sense]
Schezo: Hm! Dunamis!
Raffina: Eh? I've… been protected?
Schezo: This battle… is on me.
Raffina: Don't underestimate me! Even without your help, I--!
Schezo: Don't get the wrong idea. This geezer is still too much for you.
Schezo: Besides…
Satan: Oh? The Dark Mage, huh? What's wrong? You've got a good expression on your face today.
Schezo: Besides! For some reason, I've suddenly felt like competing in battle.
Satan: HAHAHAHAHA! It's been a while since we've had a serious competition. Come at me, Schezo!
Schezo: I was thinking the same thing! Let's go, Satan!
Raffina: Urrgh, even though this was MY battle…!
Schezo: Just as Witch said, I may have gotten a little softer. But no matter where I go, no matter who I meet, it doesn't matter. I strive for my ideal, regardless of where I am. I'm the most spectacular Dark Mage, Schezo!

Translation of the Audio Track:
[DISCLAIMER: This translation was made by @PinkGeekNeni (Nenilein) on twitter! Feel free to repost parts of it or the entire text wherever you want as long as you credit the translator correctly!]
INTRO
Witch: Howdy! A very pleasant day to y’all! It is me, Witch. So, anyway, have you ever heard talk about how our moon hanging up in the sky might actually have mystical powers? They say that especially on full moon nights the accumulated influence of the moon can amplify one’s magic prowess… Kinda mysterious to think about, huh~? So, today’s story is about a tiny bout of huge turmoil that happened on a full moon night just like that…
-
STORY
[nighty soundscape, cicadas]
Arle: Ah, nothing better about autumn than some good old moon-viewing. Right, Carby?
Carbuncle: Gu, gugu~
Arle: The full moon is so beautiful tonight. So mysterious… If you keep looking at it for long enough, it’s kind of enchanting, huh…?
Arle: That reminds me, I’ve heard somewhere that the full moon has special powers. Now I wonder if that’s true.
Carbuncle: (cheerfully) Gu-gugu! Gu-gugu!
Arle: ARGH! Carby, what gives!? You ate all of our dumplings!!
Carbuncle: (happily) Gugugu-gu!
Arle: Hmpf… Oh well. I guess they DO call autumn the “season of good appetite”, huh?
[Suddenly, there are magical sparkle SFXs. A new voice, with a heavy echo and distortion on it.]
???: Ahahaha! Hahaha! Haha!
Arle: Huh? What was that just now? Sounds like somebody’s laughing over there…
SFX: Arle and Carbuncle’s footsteps
Arle: Hmm… I think it was around… here… Ah! There they are!
???: Huh? Hey, big girl! Who’re you?
Arle: The name’s Arle! You were dancing, huh? Looks like you are having a lot of fun!
???: Yeah! Dancing when the moon’s so beautiful is the best. It feels sooooo nice~!
Arle: Hmm… Say, you’re not just some regular kid, are you? So, what’re you called?
Puck: I’m a faerie! The name’s Puck! I’m biiiig cutie who loves to dance and play little pranks~!
Arle: That last part’s not something you might want to say out loud…
Carbuncle: Gu, gu…
Puck: Hey, big girl, wanna dance with me?
Arle: Huh? Um… Sorry, but this is kinda giving me déjà vu to an old acquaintance who liked forcing me to dance against my will, so… I’m gonna pass!
Puck: HUH? You won’t dance? Well, then… you’re in for it now!
SFX: *magic sounds*
Arle: U-URGH! What is this!?
Puck: The spell of forgetfulness! You’re gonna forget every- and any whichever thing~!
SFX: *more magic sounds*
Arle: UWHAAAAAA!!!
Carbuncle: Gugugu!! (<spoken in the cadence of “Arle!!”)
Puck: Ahahaha! Buh-bye~!
-
Arle: …Huh? What was I… doing just now?
Carbuncle: Gu…
Arle: I feel like something happened just now… Something I should remember, but…
Arle: Oh no, I almost forgot! I promised Witch I’d Puyo battle her tonight!
Carbuncle: Gugu!
Arle: I’d better get a move on. You know how Witch gets when something upsets her. Alright, let’s go, Carby!
Carbuncle: (happily) Gu-gugu!
SFX: *Arle and Carbuncle running*
-
[Later. Theme of Puyo Puyo is playing. Puyo popping and casting noises.]
Arle: You’ll have to try better than that, Witch! Aaaaalright! HAH!
Witch: I know right which spell’s coming up from your end!
Arle: HA-! …Uh? Huh… HATCHUU!!
Witch: GAH!
Carbuncle: Gu-gu!
[Arle’s sneeze knocked her off-balance. Her board collapses on top of her and Witch.]
Witch: Hmpf… HEY! What’s the big idea! You completely ruined the moment!
Arle: (awkwardly) Ahahaha… Sorry, sorry~! I kinda forgot the incantation for a second there, I think…
Witch: It’s not like you to let down your guard in the middle of a battle like that, y’know.
Arle: Yeah… I’ve kinda had brainfog for a while now.
Witch: You sure you haven’t caught a cold or something? Tell ya what, I’ll give you some of my special cold medicine, so go home and catch some rest, ‘kay?
Arle: Yeah, you’re right. Thanks. But, uh… There’s kinda smoke coming out of that bottle, and it sorta looks like goo, so, no thanks…
Witch: Hmpf! Well, I was just trying to help!
Arle: A-Anyway, I’m gonna call it a night here. See ya!
[Music fades out]
Carbuncle: (worried) Gugugu…
Arle: This is weird… How could I just forget the incantation? I’ve been using that spell on the daily for ages…
Carbuncle: Gugu?
Arle: Huh? Carby, what’s up?
Carbuncle: Gugu! Gugugu!
Arle: Are you wondering about something?
[Suddenly, Schezo.]
Schezo: ARLE!
Arle: Huh!? Wait, huh…
Schezo: What a coincidence to encounter you out here. Once again we meet in the dark of the night, broken by the bloom of the full moon. Tonight shall be the night I…!
Arle: Sheh… Sché…Ah, right! You’re Schezo!
Schezo: (completely thrown off his game) Wha… What in the world is THAT supposed to mean!? Are you trying to make fun of me, perhaps!?
Arle: (awkwardly) Hahaha… No, sorry, sorry! I just kinda… couldn’t get your name out for a moment there… Anyway, what’cha need from me?
Schezo: Hmpf! You know very well what I need! YOU! Are all I need!!
Arle: Huh…? (pause) (screaming) WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?
Schezo Heh?
Arle: Wh… Wha… What the heck is your problem!? CREEPER! Get away from me!!
Schezo: N-No, wait… I slipped up… I meant to say that I need your “magic power”, but… Really, why are you acting like this is the first time that’s happened!? Screaming like you think this is serious… How am I even supposed to take that…?
Arle: Uh-! R… R-Right… You always slip up like that, right… Hah… What’s going on… with me…?
[Arle sounds like she’s shaking.]
Schezo: Hey… Are you… sure you are alright…?
Carbuncle: Gugu, gugu… Gugu-gugu!
Schezo: What is it, Carbuncle? Are you trying to tell me something? -Wait… Arle… You…?
Arle: What?
Schezo: This is strange… You are definitely the real Arle… But, your aura… The magic you usually exude… I can’t sense it anymore.
Arle: Huh? What do you mean?
Schezo: It seems as if something essential is leaking out of you rapidly…
Carbuncle: Gugugu! GU! (-> To me this sounds like “Arle! WAIT!”)
Schezo: Wait!
SFX: *Arle and Carbuncle’s footsteps*
Schezo: What is going on… What is this sense of foreboding…?
-
SFX: *magic sounds*
Puck: Huh? The spell was just supposed to take a few of her memories… But now I can feel all of her energy flow into me like a current…! That’s… not what I was trying to do…
-
Arle: Huh? Did you hear a voice just now?
Carbuncle: GU! Gugu!
Arle: Um… Uh… I probably just imagined it! Let’s hurry on home, Carby.
Carbuncle: (sadly) Gu…
SFX: *Arle and Carbuncle’s footsteps*
-
[Later. Noise of a door being opened quickly]
Rulue: Hmpf! …Arle! Allow me to invite myself in!
Arle: Um… You’re… Rulue!
Rulue: I heard from Witch. You went and caught a cold, now, did you?
Arle: Yeah… I mean, my nose isn’t stuffy, but I can’t really focus on anything. Did you come because you were worried about me?
Rulue: What…! As if I would ever lower myself to worrying about you…! I-I am only here because my Darling said he would pay you a visit! I had to-
[Door opens again]
Satan: AAAARLYYYY~~~ I’ve come for a bedside visit~!
Arle: WARGH! Who is that!? … Ah… Oh, it’s just Satan~.
Satan: And hello to you too, my Carbunny! You’re as adorable as always today~!
Carbuncle: (desperately) GUGU, GUGU!!
Satan: Arle, you’ve always been in such good health, I never expected you’d end up catching such a nasty cold. But it’s alright now! C’mon, let your Satan’s burning hot hugs break the fever for you~!
Arle: Urgh-! You wanna HUG me!?
Satan: Now, now, you don’t need to hold back. We’re a couple, after all! My fiancée must not be ashamed of public displays of affection~!
Arle: Fiancée? …Is that so…? The two of us are… engaged?
Satan: Huh?
Rulue: ARLE! OBVIOUSLY NOT!! What are you saying, are you out of your mind!?
Satan: I-I mean… Arle, are you sure you meant to say that just now? Something seems…
Arle: NONONONONONO! I take it back!! What the heck am I even saying…? It’s just Satan’s usual delusional ramblings! Anyway, stop calling me your fiancée and GET OUT!! I GIVE YOU TWO SECONDS!!
SFX: *magic sounds*
Rulue: Arle, what in the world!! You don’t need to threaten us with magic!
Arle: Um… Uh… (scared) Ah…
Satan: Arle…
Arle: Huh? What spell was I trying to cast just now…? Weird…
Carbuncle: Gugugu…!
-
[Door closes as Satan and Rulue leave the house. They are now outside.]
Schezo: Hey! Satan! Rulue!
Satan: Hmpf. So the Dark Mage has shown himself.
Rulue: Hey. What in the world is going on here? I’ve never seen Arle… like this.
Schezo: I knew it… So you’ve sensed it too. Something is wrong with Arle. Her memory and energies are slowly but surely draining from her.
Satan: As long as Carbuncle is by her side I think she is safe physically speaking, but… this is no physical issue, now, is it? This is directly affecting her heart and soul. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of an infection that could cause one to lose their memory gradually like this. We have no choice but to try and find the cause.
Rulue: If that is so, then I will head to Witch’s house. She has a huge collection of old books, and knowing her, she might know a thing or two that does not occur to us.
Schezo: That is a good idea. But we must make haste. If her energy and memory keep deteriorating at this rate, then there is not much time until she…
Rulue: Until she…?
Satan: We must not let Arle know of this, but there is a possibility she might lose all her memories and magic. Before that happens, we have to…
Arle: …? What does that mean?
Schezo: Arle…! How much have you heard?
Arle: I heard you all whispering in front of the door, so I couldn’t help myself… So, I’m going to forget everything and everyone?
Satan: Now, now, Arly, it’s alright! We’re all going to save you soon enough.
Arle: But… you said that even you don’t know what caused this, didn’t you, Satan?
Satan: …!
Arle: (awkwardly) Ahahaha! Oh wow, looks like I’m in trouble~! Ahah, um! …Sorry. Could you leave me and Carby alone for a bit?
Carbuncle: Gugu…?
Schezo: Arle, wait-!
[She closes the door in his face.]
-
[Nighttime noises.]
Arle: *sigh*
Carbuncle: Gugu?
Arle: You know Carby… This all somehow doesn’t quite feel real to me.
Carbuncle: Gu…
Arle: I’ve always just relied on the idea that everything is just gonna work out somehow… I guess I’m just good at making stuff up as I go or something… but… I don’t think I can just wriggle myself out of this one.
Carbuncle: Gugugu…
Arle: I mean…! I can barely remember any of my spells anymore! It kinda feels like this is it…
Carbuncle: Gu…
Arle: And also… If I’m honest, there are already so many things I feel I can’t recall clearly anymore. Like, I still know that Schezo is a creeper and that Rulue has a bad crush on Satan… Or that Satan likes to cause trouble, but… that’s about it. I don’t know the details anymore. Hey, how did you and I meet? And how long ago was that…? Carby… Am I gonna forget about you, too…?
Carbuncle: Gugu, gugu!!
Arle: Huh? You’ll protect me…? Ahahaha! Thank you. That makes me happy.
Schezo: Arle.
Arle: Ah! Um, you’re… Schezo!
Schezo: Looks like you’re not doing well.
Arle: What, me? No, I’m okay~!
Schezo: …
Arle: So, um… Looks like your days of chasing me around are finally over, huh?
Schezo: What are you talking about?
Arle: All you wanted from me was my power, right? Now that I’m not going to have any powers, you’re probably not gonna care much about what happens to me, huh?
Schezo: Wha…!?
Arle: I mean, it sucks that I’m not gonna have any magic anymore, but… I guess that’s one load off my back at least!
Satan: Arle. Don’t say something so foolish.
Arle: Huh? Oh, right, that Satan! Hey, Satan, looks like you had a lucky draw with this, too, huh?
Satan: Whatever are you talking about?
Arle: I mean, not only am I about to forget all of your past misdeeds soon, I won’t even have any magic to resist you with… Oh, wait, my magic was why you were attracted to me in the first place, wasn’t it? Guess you’ll lose interest in me too then. Maybe I’m actually pretty lucky, seeing how this all means you two are finally gonna get off my case and all! Heheh!
Schezo&Satan: Arle!
Arle: Uh…What?
Schezo: Don’t force yourself to laugh. It doesn’t suit you.
Arle: Huh…?
Satan: Arle. Do not underestimate my love. Do you really think I would want to take you as my consort after you’ve lost your memory and power and are docile and easy to manipulate? And above all else, regardless of what happens to you, you will always be Arle.
Arle: That’s…
Schezo: Arle. I wouldn’t be able to rest if I were to leave you behind in this state. Be at ease, I will protect you. I will tell you as many times as you need to hear: I need you.
Arle: Ahah, Schezo! You dropped some words there again! You meant to say “I need your power”, didn’t you?
Schezo: Hmpf. I’ll let you think so, if you want to… Let’s head for Witch’s house. She should be helping Rulue to research the cause of Arle’s memory loss right now.
Arle: Yeah! Alright… Let’s go to Witch’s- Uh, huh?
Satan: What’s wrong, Arle?
Arle: Um… Who was that again?
Schezo: What…!? Arle, don’t tell me you…!
Arle: And, to start with, who are you people? Huh? Where am I? Why am I here?
Satan: A-Arle, pull yourself together! You can’t have forgotten me, the great Satan!
Arle: Ahahaha! It’s nice to meet you! Looks like you know me from somewhere? Your name was ‘Greatsatan’, huh?
Satan: …!! SCHEZO!
Schezo: Yes, we seem to be approaching the event horizon! Let’s go, Satan!
-
Witch: Um.. well…
SFX: *browsing in a book*
Witch: Em… huh…
Rulue: Witch, are you STILL not done with your research?
Witch: Hmm… Please give me a tad. Gradual memory loss is a rather rare symptom, y’know…
Rulue: Well, speed it up somehow! …I hate to admit it, but I don’t have the slightest clue about matters of sorcery, so this is up to you!
Witch: Argh, could you stop putting me under so much pressure!?
Rulue: …! It is not in my nature to just stand by and watch… Hah, why am I wasting my time here, when right now my Satan is by Arle’s side and watching over her?
Witch: You say that, Rulue, but I can tell that you’re plenty worried about Arle yourself, aren’cha?
Rulue: …? Where did that come from?
Witch: Oh, I’ve just never seen you with that distraught look on your face before, is all.
Rulue: I-I am just distraught that my darling prince is spending time with Arle and not me, that is all-
Witch: Oh, reeeeally? Is that all? But if Arle lost use of all her spells, defeating and getting her out of your way should be easy for you, shouldn’t it? And then your beloved “darling prince Satan” would be yours once and for all.
Rulue: (shaken) T-That’s… I…
Witch: What’s wrong?
Rulue: OH-HOHOHO! Don’t you dare lower my noble, queenly self onto such a disgraceful level! I will defeat Arle in a fair and equal battle and win my darling Satan’s love and attention of my own power!
Witch: Hm~? Oh well, if that’s how you wanna spin it, then okay. Continuing our research… Ah!
Rulue: Did you find it!?
Witch: Here! Look at this! This has to be it. P… “Puck”. Um… According to this book, “Puck” is a faerie who loves to dance and play pranks on humans. Its specialty is a spell that inflicts its victims with forgetfulness…
Rulue: So that is what did it to her…Really now, Arle, how could you let yourself be done in by such a creature? Tch, you are such a handful!
Witch: But this is odd… It says that Puck’s natural magic power isn’t all that strong. All the spell should do is make things slip from one’s mind for a short while… (she turns a page) Hmm… Maybe this has something to do with the fact that we have a full moon today… Moonlight naturally has magic-boosting properties, so maybe it affected that faerie and-
Rulue: I do not care about those details! I will go and finally report what we have learned to Satan now! …Oh, my Satan! Your Rulue… Your Rulue is coming for you~!
[Rulue runs off]
Witch: Hey! I was trying to explain everything you need to know!! Come back here-
[The door closes]
Witch: Waaaaait!!
-
SFX: *magic sounds*
Puck: What do I do? That girl’s power won’t stop flowing into me…! What’s going to happen to me?
SFX: *running footsteps*
Puck: I never meant this to go this far!
Carbuncle: (accusatory) GU! Gugu!!
Puck: Urgh!
Satan: We found you…
Schezo: So you are the one who stole away Arle’s memory.
Puck: Huh? Why do you know about that? Ah! It’s that big girl!
Arle: Hey! Let go of my hand, stranger! What in the world are you all doing, ganging up on a defenseless child!?
Rulue: Arle, stand back! We are doing this for your good! …How could it make you forget about your rival, the noble fighting queen, Rulue!? I will never forgive this!
Arle: Eeek! What is wrong with this lady!? Those arms are way too strong for someone who looks so beautiful!
Rulue: Shuddup!! Looks like even amnesia can’t touch that smart mouth of yours, huh!?
Arle: Amnesia…?
Carbuncle: Gugu, gugu!
Schezo: Hey, Witch! What do we have to do with this thing to get Arle’s memory back?
Witch: Well… I reckon they’ll just come back by themselves if Puck is knocked out, maybe? But that’s not what’s important, now, listen-
Schezo: I see… *sound of him drawing his sword*
Satan: I must admit, I do not like the thought of needing to bully a weak creature to resolve this, but… can't make an omelet without breaking eggs.
Puck: P… Please forgive me! I never meant for any of this! I still don’t even understand it… My powers just seem to be working a whole lot more strongly than usual!
Witch: Hm, aha. I knew it… Then that would mean…
Carbuncle: (asking) Gugu?
Satan: Hmpf! I will hear no excuses!
Arle: W-Wait! What are you doing, Mr. Horned, Mean and Green!?
Satan: I am the Dark Prince, Satan!
Arle: And you, you silver-haired excuse to call for an adult!!
Schezo: My name is SCHEZO!
Arle: Can’t you see that that little guy is scared? Why are you being so awful to him!?
Satan: Well, that…
Schezo: …is quite simple. All that we want…
Satan & Schezo: …is for our old Arle to come back to us!
Arle: Huh…?
Schezo: Let’s go!
Arle: STOOOOOP!
Schezo: (off balance) Gah…!
Satan: What is it NOW, Arle!?
Arle: Look… I get the gist that you guys are doing this for me. But, please don’t hurt someone for my sake, okay?
Satan: Do you know what you’re saying?
Arle: Okay, listen… From what I gather, I’ve lost my memory and forgotten all of you, right? But maybe… and that’s just a “maybe”... that doesn’t mean that my feelings for you all have disappeared!
Carbuncle: Gugu?
Arle: I’ve been watching you all fight for me this whole time, and seeing that, I somehow feel warm, as if I really, really loved you all from the bottom of my heart. So, maybe I can make this work even without a few dumb memories! We can just make new memories together! Right?
Schezo: Ah…
Satan: Arle…
Carbuncle: Gu! Gugu!
Rulue: How can you say that so easily? …Then again, that way of thinking is so quintessentially you…
Witch: Um, I’m sorry to bust this very heartwarming moment, but… it seems there’s some clouds coming in. Aaand, there they go covering up the full moon, and-
SFX: *magic sounds*
Arle: Huh? …Huh!
Schezo: W… What’s wrong!?
Arle: Whoawhoawhoa… What’s up with my head, I… Uh… Hey, Satan! Schezo! Rulue! Witch! What are we all doing here?
SFX: *quick Carbuncle footsteps*
Carbuncle: GUGUGUGUGUGU-GUUU!!
Arle: Ahahaha! Carby! Hey, what’re you being so cuddly for all of a sudden?
Satan: Arle! Do you recognize my magnificent self now!?
Arle: What are you talking about? OBVIOUSLY I recognize you! Not like you’re easy to confuse for anyone else!
Witch: Hmm, just as I’d thought. The amplification of Puck’s magic only lasts as long as the full moon. As soon as it was covered up, he went back to his usual abilities.
Rulue: Wha- Why didn’t you say so earlier!?
Witch: I tried! You were the one who ran off before I could finish talking!
Puck: Heeey… I have no idea what’s going on, buuut… looks like everything’s back to normal now, so…
Arle: Wait, uh… What is even happening right now?
Carbuncle: Gugu, gugu, gu!
Arle: Let’s see, I ran into a faerie that called itself “Puck”, and then… AHHH!! YOU’RE PUCK!!
Puck: Nonono, I’ll never do it again, never again! Like I’d ever put myself through something so terrifying again! BUH-BYE!!
[He warps out.]
Arle: Whoa-! …And he’s gone.
Satan: Aaaarly~!! I’m so happy! Now, in celebration of the return of your memories of being my loveliest fiancée, how about a passionate baiser from moi to-!
Arle: Who are you calling “fiancée”!?
SFX: *she punches him. Hard*
Satan: URGH-! (under heavy groaning) Yeah… Our old Arle’s back… Charming and strong-headed… as she should be…
Schezo: Hmpf… Arle. So it would appear your powers have returned to you! Thus, let us resume… our endless dance of passions!!
Arle: Yeah, yeah, I get it already. But could you at least try to reel in the embarrassing misspeaks in public a little? *sighs* You’ll never change, will you, Creeper?
Schezo: Urgh…!
Rulue: Looks like she’s completely back to normal. So much ado about someone like her… We should’ve just let her be if you ask me!
Arle: Heh? What’s with the attitude! I don’t remember asking for your help!
Witch: By the by, Arle…
Arle: Yeah?
Witch: Just for the sake of my personal research: Do you recall any part of what happened while you had lost your memory?
Arle: Huh? Uh… Oh, right. I think I can remember, kinda!
Witch: …Including the part where you said that you, and I quote, “really, really love all of us, from the bottom of your heart”?
Arle: WHA-!? Uh… Um… Eh… That was just… I, uh… I was amnesiac! You can’t take that seriously!
Witch: But was it not you who said that, even though she’d lost her memory, her feelings have remained the same? Which would make the previous quote a confe-
Arle: WAAAAH, STOP! STOP, STOP!
Witch: Now, now, Arle, answer the research question: Was that statement, in fact, a confession of your true feelings~?
Arle: NONONO, SHUT UP! PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF THE WORLDS, SHUT UP, WITCH! JUST STOP TAAAALKING!!!

STORY
Narrator: A dark underground ruin crawling with dangerous monsters… This is the setting of a certain legend the people tell. It is said that within this ruin a being known as the “Genie of Wishes” has been sealed, and that he shall grant but a single wish of whoever comes to break this seal…
SFX: *Puyo popping sounds*
Arle: Hah! There! One, two… Ice Storm!
SFX: *Monster dying shriek*
Arle: I did it!
SFX: *bouncing*
Carbuncle: Gugu! Gugugu!
Arle: Oh! Carby’s using that Puyo as a trampoline! That sure looks fun!
Arle: But this isn’t the time! C’mon, we gotta hurry on along!
Carbuncle: Gu-gugu!
SFX: *their footsteps as they run further into the labyrinth*
Arle: It sure has been a while since we’ve gone on this sort of adventure, hasn’t it? Let’s make sure that the first people to break the seal on the wishin genie sealed at the center of this dungeon will be us! Okay, Carby?
Carbuncle: Gugu, gugu!
Arle: Yeah, you’ve right! That’s why we’ve gotta speed up! I mean, what if somebody’s already gotten in here before us?
Witch: Howdy!
Arle: WARRRGH!! …Witch? Don’t scare me like that, geez!
Witch: Oh, c’mon, gimme a smile! Say ‘Howdy!’
Arle: H-Howdy…? Wait, if you’re here, then that means… You’re after the wishing genie too, aren’t you?
Witch: Yep, guess I am.
Arle: Then you leave me no choice! Let’s battle!
Witch: Now, hold on a minute! Personally, I’ve got no intentions of scuffling with you, Arle!
Arle: Huh?
Witch: I mean, this dungeon is dangerous, like, VERY dangerous. And I’m just a frail little witchling, oh, however will I make it through here on my own? So I was thinking, Arle, how about you and I team up for this adventure?
Arle: Heh? Um, well…
Witch: Oh, please, please, pretty please? Do it for your old friend Witch~?
Carbuncle: Gugu…?
Arle: I mean, if you really wanna party up that bad… I guess…
Witch: …As if~…Ohohoho…
Witch: Gotcha guard down! Meteo!!
SFX: *attacking sound*
Arle: Heheh! Not a chance!!
SFX: *spellcasting and attacking sounds*
Witch: WHOA!!
Arle: I knew it! You were never the type to play nice. I figured you had some kind of ulterior plan, so I made sure to prepare a counter attack when you weren’t paying attention!
Witch: Urgh…This blows…
Arle: You stay here and take a little nap now.
Witch: Hmpf! This isn’t fair, you know!
Arle: Right back at you! Seriously… Anyway, Carby, let’s move on!
SFX: *footsteps*
Carbuncle: Gugu!
Witch: W-WAIIIIT!
SFX: *they keep running*
-
Arle: *sigh* So Witch made it here too… And if she did, then I bet-
Carbuncle: *gasp* GUGU!!
Arle: Huh? Carby?
Schezo: Hmpf… Arle. It would see you too have laid your sights upon the legendary Genie of-
Arle: YES, BINGO!! I KNEW it was gonna be Schezo next~!
Schezo: What the- S-STOP POINTING AT ME! My face is NOT your bingo sheet!
Arle: Geez, it’s just a figure of speech, calm down! By the way, what’s it you’re after today? My magic power or that of the wishing genie?
Schezo: Hmpf. I shall answer you. What I desire… is BOTH!
SFX: *sword slash*
Arle: Ack! Rushing forward and attacking is not cool!
SFX: *Puyo chaining sounds*
Schezo: It is your own fault for neglecting your guard! Finally, today will be the day that I shall make you my own! Oh, roar, my Dark Sword!
Arle: Urgh! I can’t fall behind…
SFX: *Puyo chaining sounds*
Arle: Judgement!
Schezo: That won’t suffice! I am more than ready to neutralize and counter that attack! Sting Shade!!
SFX: *blast*
Arle: Argh! Schezo is always so strong…!
Schezo: Hmpf. Are you ready to beg for your life now? …W-Wait! What is that there dangling from your hip? It is… so round!
Arle: That? Oh, that’s a good luck charm Amitie gave me a while back. It’s a little plush figure that looks like an acorn frog. I think it’s really super-
Schezo: Uhh… it’s so cuuuuute…!
Arle: Yeah, right? It’s super cute and…! Wait, huh?
Schezo: Such a lovely sight…! While the real thing is already unsurpassable in its adorableness, seeing a plush figure modeled in its image is just too…!
Arle: Um, Schezo? Anybody still home in there…?
Carbuncle: Gugu, gugu…
Schezo: Right now, there is nothing… NOTHING I desire more than to have YOU!!
Arle: Ah… um… You mean… the plush, right? Okay, anyway…
SFX: *Puyo chaining sounds*
Arle: Seriously, how can he leave himself wide open like that… Urgh… I can’t even feel any good about this, but… let’s just get this over with.
Arle: MIND BLAST!
SFX: *blast, cartoon birds tweeting*
Schezo: WAAAARGH!
Arle: Critical hit straight to the brain, huh? Anyway, you spend some time recovering from the mind-melt here now!
Schezo: *lisping* Uhh… uhh… Where’sh this? What wash I… doing…?
Arle: Okay, Carby. Let’s hurry on along!
Carbuncle: Gu-gugu!
SFX: *footsteps as they leave*
-
Arle: We’re pretty far in now, huh?
Carbuncle: Gugu…
Arle: I’m pretty sure we’re just about due for her now…
Rulue: OH-HOHOHOHO!
Arle: *sigh* Yeah… There’s the laugh. I figured. I knew she’d show up. But, still..
Rulue: I had a feeling you would be here, Arle!
Arle: Hey there… Rulue…
Rulue: You must also be searching for the Genie of Wishes. But in the end I will be one to undo the seal! And then I shall have a GORGEOUS wedding with my darling prince, Satan!
Arle: Yeah. That stupid, bland wish sure sounds like you.
Rulue: *shrieking* What are you calling “stupid” and “bland”!? Arle! Not only must you always stand in the way of my romance with my Satan, but now you’re also being so incredibly rude to me!!
Arle: What did I even do!? It’s Satan who’s obsessed with chasing me, not the other way around!
Rulue: *shriek* You will pay for this…! I will shut you up for good with my marvelous martial arts techniques!
Arle: *sigh* Yeah, of course this is where this conversation went.
Rulue: I will NOT hold back for a second!
SFX: *Puyo chaining sounds*
Rulue: Queen’s Dance!
Arle: AAAAAAHH!!
SFX: *blast, more chaining sounds*
Arle: AHH, she sure still knows how to pack a punch! Urgh, and I’m still powered out from casting earlier. I really was hoping to avoid more battles… Looks like I’ve got only one choice!
Rulue: Come now, Arle. What’s wrong? Show me your best shot!
Arle: Hey, Rulue! Look behind you! It’s Satan!
Rulue: Such an obvious lie! That trick won’t work on me.
Arle: But Rulue, he’s waving at you~
Rulue: Ungh… As if I’d fall for this…!
Arle: Oh! And now he’s winking at you!
Rulue: …Uhhh….uhh…!
Arle: Ah! He just blew you a kiss!
Rulue: …She’s lying… I know she’s lying, but… Oh, why must you betray me, my foolish heart…!? OH, MY DARLING, SATAN~!!
Arle: Hngh! Fireball!
SFX: *chain sound, blast*
Rulue: AAAAAHHH!
Arle: Sorry for this, Rulue. But I really don’t think you should have THAT wish granted~!
Rulue: How dare you… AAAARLE!!
SFX: *footsteps as Arle runs away*
Rulue: COME BACK HERE, RIGHT NOW!
-
SFX: *still running*
Arle: *pant, pant…* …Ahh!! There it is! The final door!
Carbuncle: Gu-gugu!
Arle: The wishing genie is sealed behind that door! And we’re first in line to unseal him!
Carbuncle: Gugu!
SFX: *gate opening*
SFX: *slow footsteps*
Satan: Truely, Arly, Carbunny! You two ARE first in line! Let me congratulate you! …Or, well, you would be first. If one were to not count me! The great monarch of the night, Satan!
Arle: Satan? You’re here too!?
Satan: I had a feeling you would not miss your chance to visit this place, so I waited here. Hah. And you have done well defeating the many opponents in your path and making it here first! I expected no less of you, Arle! You are truly worthy of being my wedded empress!
Arle: I keep telling you! I’ll NEVER be your “empress”! *sigh* How many times have I said that line now? I’ve kinda lost count.
Carbuncle: Gugu-gu…
Satan: Now, now, there’s no need to be flustered! WAHAHAHAHA!!
Arle: This is really bad… Satan may be a moron, but he’s also really super powerful…!
Satan: Now, Arly, Carbunny, time to stop playing coy! Else I’ll have to be a liiiittle forceful in escorting you out of her~!
Arle: *sigh* Overthinking this isn’t going to help… Let’s get this going, Satan!
SFX: *Puyo popping sounds*
Arle: Hah! There! Fireball!!
Satan: Oh my, oh my… I suppose I shall accept this symbol of your burning passion!
Arle: Urgh… Ice Storm!
Satan: Ahhh~ Such a nice, little breeze~
Satan: It is about time I returned fire… Disaster!
Arle: *screaming* AAAAAH!!
Carbuncle: *screaming: GUUUU!!
Arle: Ou, ou, ou, ou, ouch…! Carby! Are you okay?
Carbuncle: Gugu…
Satan: Awww! Don’t make such a sad face my precious little Carbunny! I promise I’ll give you lots of pets after we’re done here~!
Arle: Hm… Satan!
Satan: Hm? What is it, Arle?
Arle: Um…Could you stand over there for a moment?
Satan: For what? Do you want to admire me striking battle poses for a little longer~? Hm~?
Arle: A little further right!
Satan: You mean here? How is this? Does this angle make me look especially handsome?
Satan: U-Urgh… N-No, wait… This can’t be… ARLE, WAIIIT!!
SFX: *footsteps as Arle runs away*
-
SFX: *still running*
Arle: *panting*
SFX: *stops running*
Arle: *deep breath* Carby! We did it! We’re here!
Carbuncle: Gu-gugu!
Arle: Now, let’s see… Where’s that Wishing Genies sealed? The only thing I can see in this room is some musty, old kind of pot…
Genie(muffled): Over here…!
Arle: Whoaaa!! The pot just talked to me!
Genie(muffled): Over here…! I am sealed within this awful thing!
Arle: Oh, so that’s how it is… Hey, so, I heard that you’ll grant one wish to the person who helps you outta there. Is that true?
Genie(muffled): Yes. No matter how greedy or preposterous your wish, it will come true just as you imagine it! Now, come on, hurry, open the lid of this jar!
Carbuncle: Gugu…
Arle: …Right, you feel it too, don’t you, Carby? I have this really bad feeling about this.
SFX: *someone comes running*
Witch: *panting* …Hold it right there!
Arle: Argh! Witch!?
Witch: *panting* …Now I’ve caught up to you!
SFX: *more people running*
Schezo&Rulue: *heavy panting*
Schezo: ARLE! YOU’LL PAY FOR EARLIER!
Rulue: ARLE! DON’T YOU THINK YOU’VE WON ALREADY!
Arle: And now Schezo and Rulue are here too!
Schezo: Now hand me that jar at once!
Rulue: Give it to me!
Witch: No, to me!
[The scene now descends into Schezo, Rulue and Witch incomprehensibly bickering over each other about who should take the pot from Arle. This keeps going as Arle starts to talk again.]
Arle: What do I do now…? Argh! I don’t have time to think this over!!
SFX: *jar being ploppen open*
Witch: EEK! Arle already opened the jar!!
Arle: Whoa…! *cough* What’s with all this smoke? What is going on!?
Rulue: Kiii! What is happening now!?
Schezo: Wait…
Rulue: Huh?
Schezo: Something is not right here…!
Arle: Huh!? The smoke is taking the shape of a person!
Genie: Wa-Ha-Ha… Hehehehehehe!! You fools! Thank you for breaking the seal on me, the Genie of Despair!!
Arle: Huh?
Schezo: The Genie of…Despair?
Rulue: But did the legend not speak of a Genie of Wishes?
Genie: Hahaha! That was a rumor I spread to lure foolish adventurers here. And it seems my plan worked perfectly!
Witch: Then… It was all a lie!?
Genie: That is precisely what it was! I mean who in their right mind would grant you lots’ wishes!? I must say, watching you all be deceived by such an obviously made up tale and quarrel so gruesomely among each other was very amusing!
The Group: *restless sounds*
Genie: Eheheheheh! My powers are returning to me quickly! Behold the great power that once spread poison miasma across the lands! A magic which’s destructive spells once drove out each and every challenger who stepped before me, and turned this area into a land of despair!
The Group: *more restless sounds*
Genie: Now, you shall fear me! Tremble in terror! In thanks of breaking my seal, you all shall be the first to taste the despair I-
The Group: SHUT THE HECK UP!! (Gu-gugu-GU!)
Genie: …Heh?
Witch: How dare you deceive me! You sure have nerve!
Rulue: I’ll teach you to play with the dreams of a maiden in love!
Schezo: I have no use for the magic of a being as repulsive as you!
Arle: You’ve REALLY gone and made us mad at you now, you know!?
Carbuncle: Gugu-gugu-GU!
[Everybody is incomprehensibly yelling at the genie without waiting their turn.]
Genie: W-Wait! Were you even listening to what I said!? *deep breath* I am an INCREDIBLY powerful Genie of Despair, who is going to-
Arle: EAT THIS CHAIN! Here I go!! Diacute!
SFX: *Puyo popping sounds*
Witch: I’ll take over! Twinkle Dust!
Rulue: Very well! Concentration!
Schezo: Oh, dark power… Tear Apart!
Genie: *shrieking* What is this comet my eyes see before me!? W-Wait! Just a moment ago you were quarreling and snarling amongst each other! Why can you suddenly work together so perfectly!?
Arle: Take this! This is a special chain, full of all our anger! BAYO~EN!!
SFX: *BIIIG IMPACT*
Genie: WAAAAAAAHHH! *blasts off like Team Rocket*
Arle: *pants and sighs* Haaah… Now I feel a little better, I guess.
Witch: We managed to unite our powers wonderfully!
Schezo: Not by choice, of course, but I am also not surprised.
Rulue: Who would’ve thought that a party as prone to quarreling as us could work together so well?
Arle: Yeah, it’s scary how well we all synchronize when it comes down to it, huh?
SFX: *someone comes running*
Satan: Ah! Arle! What happened here? I heard a loud noise…
Arle: Oh! Satan! You only just got here? Your eyes aren’t hurting still, are they…?
Satan: Hmpf… I still find myself blinking a bit more than I should. But, much more importantly! I just saw a rather evil-looking genie come soaring my way. Before I knew it I’d caught it in my hands and sealed it away in a bottle suitable for the job, but where did it come from, I wonder?
Genie(muffled again): No! NO! I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS!!
Rulue: *squee* Oh, my darling Satan! As expected of you, you saved the day!
Schezo: Just throw the bottle out with the recyclables. Nobody wants that trash.
Satan: What has gotten into you…?
Rulue: That all aside… *sigh* What a waste. I came all this way hoping for a gorgeous wedding with my Satan, and now this!
Satan: R-Rulue… I think you just gave me the chills…
Schezo: *sigh* I too came here looking to increase my power, but it seems all the walking was for naught…
Witch: It’s mortifying! I thought I’d be able to use this as a pretext to finally become a fully-fledged witch!
Arle: Yeah, same here! Just when I thought I’d be able to finally get my hands on some good curry again!
Carbuncle: Gugu!
Schezo: Wait…
Schezo, Rulue & Witch: You were going to wish for CURRY!?
