Story:

All rights belong to Rejet

Translation:

Now that you are lovers, you spend your happiness together.

But one day, the ancient Grimmoire was sealed!

In the book, your boyfriend became the “Prince.”

And you became the “Princess.”

It was supposed to be a happy story, but something strange is happening….

Will you be able to safely return to your world?

The curtain of a new love story shall open.

Cast:

Kaginuki Rem – Vol 1. April 19

CV: Saitou Soma

“Though I have no powers, I’ll save you.”

We’ve become lovers, but it seems a new trial has come.

To think, of all things, we’ve been trapped in a magic book.

It seems the only way out of here is to become the character and complete the story.

But what is the “The Emperor’s New Clothes” about? 

…Wh-what? You’re saying I have to be naked!?

No, but this is for your sake… In that case, I’ll gladly bare myself!

Sogami Urie – Vol 1. May 17

CV: Kondo Takashi

“Even if I become *sea foam and disappear, the fact that I loved you won’t.”

We should’ve been spending our time sweetly as lovers, but to think that we’d enter the magical book of “The Little Mermaid!”

Destined to become *sea foam and disappear…

But I’ll never let you go.

It’s only natural, for I love you more than anyone.

Even if I become sea foam and disappear.

Tachibana Lindo – Vol 1. June 21

CV: Hatano Wataru

“Even if this is a tragedy, I won’t lose hope. I’ll make you happy.”

What on earth is going on?

An empty theater… Did we enter the book of “The Phantom of The Opera”?

But you’re right in front of me —

If you’re the “Phantom,” there’s no way I’ll give her to you!

I can’t lose her to you…..! (to Rem?)

Natsumezaka Shiki– Vol 1. July 19

CV: Hirakawa Daisuke

“I won’t leave you all by yourself. When we disappear, we’ll be together.”

Maybe it was a mistake to enter the book’s world.

“The Pied Piper of Hamelin”… With this pipe, I could have so much fun controlling you, but to think I’d be put in charge of a rat extermination.

I don’t really want to do that though, so why don’t I play this pipe and have fun with you for a bit? 

So… show me a good face, okay?

Nanashiro Mage– Vol 1. August 16

CV: Kimura Subaru

“If you love me, I’d become a monster for you.” 

This is all because I was told stupid things like, *”read a book and learn about affection.”

It’s so stupid we got sucked into some magic book of “Beauty and the Beast.”

Well, there’ ain’t nobody to butt in, so let’s just have fun. Just us, living in this castle!

…Hm?

Hey, ain’t there something strange about my body?

Roen– Vol 1. September 20

CV: Suzuki Tatsuhisa- Vol.1  September 20

“You won’t lose your way for I shall guide you.” 

“Alice in Wonderland…” I wonder how much time has passed since we were sucked into that book?

Over and over, the story ends, only to begin anew.

Even so, we shall escape.

In order not to meet that ‘end’ again —

Princess, I shall never leave you all alone.

After all, I decided that I would walk beside you.

I did my best to capture Roen’s super polite and aristocratic-like diction. For Urie, he kept saying “foam” but in the original Grimm Fairy Tale’s “Little Mermaid,” the mermaid became “sea foam,” which is more specific and implies a much more definite “end.” I did my best to make the sentences flow better in English because a lot of the sentences had repeating words or redundancy. There’s nothing wrong with translating as literally as possible, but sometimes it’s kind of strange to read literal translations.

I hope this clears up things if you were wondering about word choice. Please let me know if I made any mistakes. I’d love to learn how to become better at translating!

I’ll be translating the Thanatos Night Revival Character Preferences as requested by shawnelizkwan soon.

What drama cd series are you looking forward to? Which DWD boy are you looking forward to? How do you think Rem will handle the nudity? ROFL
