Ortho  |
I can't believe you have a fully equipped workshop next door to your home, Deuce Spade-san!
Ehehe, I'm excited to think that I might be able to dress up like a white rabbit like everyone else. | |
Deuce  |
I didn't expect you to want to dress up like a white rabbit, Ortho.
I really hope they'll let us borrow their 3D printer and materials… …Well, guess there's nothing else to do but ring the bell, then. | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
Yes, hello, who is it? | |
Deuce |
Uh, it's Spade from next door… | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
Spade…? Wait, you're not… DEUCE!? | |
Deuce |
Yes, sir. …It's been a long time.
I apologize for this unexpected visit. I was wondering if perhaps we would be able to use some of the equipment you have in your workshop? Of course, we will fully reimburse you for its usage… | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
What did you say…?
YOU HAVE SOME NERVE ASKING THAT! | |
Ortho |
EH!? This guy seems really angry… | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
You'd run around with all those punks, causing ruckuses in the middle of the night and destroying all sorts of things…
Do you even understand just how much pain and suffering you caused the people of this town? Deila-san came to apologize for you so many times, but that doesn't mean squat here. Get out of here, already!!! | |
Deuce |
I AM SO SORRY FOR ALL OF THE TROUBLE I CAUSED BACK THEN!!
I know that I have no right to make this kind of request. But I really want to help my classmate make a rabbit costume! | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
Your classmate? What does my workshop have to do with their costume, in the first place…? | |
Ortho |
Nice to meet you, I am Ortho Shroud. I'm a humanoid!
I'm a classmate of Deuce-san at Night Raven College. | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
A h-humanoid? | |
Ortho |
Yep! I really wanted a white rabbit outfit so that I could take part in the White Rabbit Festival…
But I can't wear clothes like a living person can, so I want to make my own special gear to wear. | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
I've seen a few human-like robots in my time, but not one that can as eloquent as you!
And on top of that, you want to participate in Clock Town's famed White Rabbit Festival. Hmmm, what should I do… Wait, nope, no way! If I let Deuce use my workshop, he'll totally destroy it! | |
Ortho |
DEUCE SPADE-SAN WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT!!! | |
Deuce |
Ortho… | |
Ortho |
Do you truly believe that Deuce-san would actually come face-to-face to talk to you like this, hoping you'd let down your guard?
THERE'S NO WAY DEUCE-SAN IS SMART ENOUGH TO COME UP WITH THAT KIND OF CUNNING STRATEGY! | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
…When you put it that way, I guess it's true that he used to just show up out of nowhere and just tear about.
Does that mean you guys truly came here to just ask for the favor of using my workshop? | |
Ortho |
That's right! Please, mister! Please let us use your workshop!! | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
Sigh… Fine. Out of respect for the little humanoid boy, I'll let you use my workshop just this once. | |
Ortho & Deuce |
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
That doesn't mean I trust you, Deuce. Don't get me wrong.
If you get even one scratch on any of my machines, I won't let you get off so easy!!! | |
Deuce |
I understand. | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
Tch… If word got out that I was letting someone like you in, that'd be bad for my own reputation.
You don't need to pay anything. Instead, just do what you came to do and leave as fast as you can. Go and enter the shop from the rear entrance. You know where that is, right? Be quick about it. | |
Ortho |
…Deuce Spade-san, are you alright? Even I can tell just from looking at you that you seem down. | |
Deuce |
Maybe it's more… self-loathing than just being down.
I enrolled in Night Raven College and have been aiming to be a model student, and I've been trying really hard with my club activities… I thought I had changed a ton, but that doesn't change my past, y'know? | |
Ortho |
By the past, do you mean what he said about "running around with all those punks, causing ruckuses in the middle of the night and destroying all sorts of things"? | |
Deuce |
Uhhhh… Please forget you heard about that! Also, I'd really like it if you didn't tell anyone else what happened just now.
And my mom, too… I don't want to cause her any extra worry. | |
Ortho |
Uh-huh, so it's that sort of thing. I got it. I can keep this a secret from the others.
But in exchange, I'll have you help me with crating my new gear. | |
Deuce |
Yeah, of course I will. Leave it to me.
…But man, you're amazing, Ortho. I can't believe you persuaded him. You saw how angry he was, right? I totally thought he wouldn't let us use his workshop at all. | |
Ortho |
I calculated that since he was running a blastcycle parts shop, then he'd probably have an interest in machines or robots.
That's why I tried to appeal to him as a humanoid, to pique his curiosity. | |
Deuce |
…Now that you mention it, I feel like his whole attitude changed when you mentioned you were a humanoid.
…You calculated that, huh. I'm not really good at thinking and planning ahead. Even everything that happened just now is the result of me causing trouble for those around me without thinking things through back in middle school… | |
Ortho |
Deuce Spade-san…
You can do your thinking later! Right now, we need to get my gear done as quick as possible and go join the others! | |
Deuce |
You're right, especially since he said to be quick about it… Let's hurry before he changes his mind! | |

Deuce |
I sent Yuu a message saying where and when we're meeting up, but… They haven't read it at all. | |
Ortho |
Maybe they haven't had the time to look at their phone, since Grim-san just keeps dragging them everywhichway. | |
Deuce |
Can't be helped, guess we should go look for them. I wouldn't think they'd have gone that far, though... | |
??? ??? |
NOM NOM NOM NOM!! Funyaaa～ I can't get enough of that strong flavor. | |
Ortho |
Ah, that's Grim-san's voice. That saves us from having to search the whole park. | |
Deuce |
Yeah, it helps that Grim's really loud.
Heeey! Yuu, Grim! | |
Grim  |
Hm? Oh, it's Deuce. Nice of you to come looking for me! | |
Deuce |
Wrong! You're the one who ran off on your own, so we were all doing our own things right now.
So, in about an hour, we're all going to meet up at the stall we were at earlier, okay? You better not be late. | |
| Choice 1: I want you to show me around. | Choice 2: We should wander around together! | |
Deuce |
Eh, me? Can I even do that…? But, sure, I guess. We can check out the area together. | |
Grim |
Whew, that was delish～ | |
Deuce |
Looks like Grim just finished eating, too, so let's head off.
Yuu, is there something you want to see or do? | |
| Choice 1: I want to look at souvenirs! | Choice 2: I want to move around some to help digest my food. | |
Deuce |
I think I saw some stalls selling various stuff. Want to go check them out? | |
Ortho |
Sounds fun! I want to go with you guys too. | |
Deuce |
Yeah, come along. That'll make it more lively and fun!
They've got a ton of shops set up here, so the four of us can see all sorts of stuff! | |
Grim |
Nyahaha, that's so cool! That's way more amazing than Ace's magic tricks! | |
Deuce |
You really like those street performances, huh. It looks like it'll go on for a little bit longer, but… Maybe we should move on now? | |
Grim |
Ehhh, I want to keep watching. | |
Ortho |
I haven't seen many street performances, so I think I'll stay and watch some more too. | |
Deuce |
Okay. Then Yuu and I'll head off and check some other places out.
We can meet up at where we were earlier when the time comes. | |
Grim & Ortho |
Yeah! / Understood! | |
Deuce |
Okay, then lets head over there. | |
Passerby A Passerby A |
Oh my, what cute outfits. Are you two from around here? | |
Deuce |
Ah, yes, I'm from here.
I just came home to visit with my classmates for the White Rabbit Festival… | |
Passerby A Passerby A |
Oh, so you're a Clock Town local. Then, I guess there's no need to warn you. | |
Deuce |
Warn me? Eh, did something happen? | |
Passerby A Passerby A |
Well, not necessarily something, but… you know? | |
Passerby B Passerby B |
If you're from this city, then you should know, right? That there's been some bad characters running around. | |
Passerby A Passerby A |
It must have been what, 3… maybe 4 years ago? Anyway, a while ago, this terrible hooligan showed up. | |
Deuce |
A terrible hooligan? | |
Passerby B Passerby B |
You never heard of them? Well, you two look like you were raised properly, so I suppose I'm not surprised you don't know.
There's this ill-tempered hooligan with bleach-blonde hair and a scary glare who'd ride up and down the city on their blastcycle at breakneck speeds. | |
Passerby A Passerby A |
I heard that whenever they got into a fight, they'd summon a cauldron and squash their opponents flat. Aah, so scary! | |
Deuce |
URK! | |
Passerby B Passerby B |
I haven't heard anything about them recently, but… I can't imagine such a horrible hoodlum would've been able to fix their behavior. | |
Passerby A Passerby A |
Same. It was so bad that there even was a police officer who would always go on patrol even when off-duty.
Anyway, they are a troublesome delinquent. You two, take care so you don't get caught in their crosshairs. | |
Deuce |
R-Right… Thank you.
Whew, they finally left. Those ladies were really something. | |
| Choice 1: That story just now… | Choice 2: Was that… | |
Deuce |
Urgh, and I was trying to change the topic…
Well, whatever. It's just you here, anyway. I think the person those ladies were talking about earlier was me. It's been a while since I enrolled in Night Raven College, but… I'm still being talked about. "I can't imagine they'd be able to fix their behavior" …Hm. | |
| Choice 1: Even though we can see that's not true. | Choice 2: It's hard to gain people's trust. | |
Deuce |
Are you trying to cheer me up? Thanks, Yuu. | |
Deuce |
…Actually, I was told the same thing just a bit ago when Ortho and I went to the workshop next door to my house.
I guess both the people who have met me before and those who haven't don't think that I could ever have fixed myself up. …But I have people outside of my family that believe in me. Remember what those ladies said? There was a police officer who would go on patrol even when they were off-duty. They worked over there… In the police station across the street from the park. And for some reason, they actually looked out for me. | |
| Choice 1: Does that person still work at that police station? | Choice 2: Let's go show them how much you've changed! | |
Deuce |
Nah, they transferred to a different city some time ago. I hear they've climbed the ranks and is some big wig now. | |
Deuce |
Isn't that awesome, though!? I wish I could have said bye to them back when they transferred, but… Back then I was just too hard-headed.
I had decided that if I ever got to meet that person again someday, I would show them just how much I had cleaned myself up… But it hasn't really gone as planned. Even today, I wanted you guys to enjoy yourselves in my hometown… But I don't know anything about my city, and can't even show you around properly. And it wasn't until Epel said that I didn't have enough pride in my hometown, that I thought I should study up on the place… I thought I had changed, but maybe I haven't grown up after all. | |
| Choice 1: That's not true… | Choice 2: (I don't know what to say...) | |
Deuce |
Sorry! I didn't mean to talk about this sort of thing when we're at a festival.
It's almost time to meet up with everyone else. Let's head back there. | |
|

| Clock Town - Clock Park | ||
| ―After the conflict with the Black Bunnies | ||
Deuce |
Okay, then I'll go register us, so everyone wait here. | |
Ortho & Epel |
Got it. | |
Silver |
Right. | |
Grim |
I'll go with you. I worry leaving it to you alone, deuce. | |
| Choice 1: Yeah, I agree. | Choice 2: I'll go too. | |
Deuce |
I don't know how I feel about Grim worrying about me, but… Thanks for coming with. | |
Dila |
The registration for the Rabbit Run Race is near the entrance to the park.
All three of you, take care over there. | |
Deuce |
There's the entrance to the park. Uhh, let's see, where's registration…? | |
Grim |
Isn't that it? | |
Deuce |
You're right… EH!?
There's a line. There's a lot more people doing this than I thought there'd be… Well, whatever. Let's just line up at the very back. | |
??? ??? |
WHAT SHOULD WE DO? AT THIS RATE, WE CAN'T REGISTER FOR THE RACE! | |
Grim |
What's goin' on? | |
Workshop Employee Workshop Employee |
I thought I put it in my bag, but… My rabbit ears, where could I have left them? | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
Rabbit ears? Oh… Do you mean the headband that was left on the 3D printer back at the workshop?
Even if we were to run back to the shop now, we won't make it back in time to register... It's a shame, but I guess we have to give up on participating in the race this year. | |
Deuce |
On a 3D printer in the workshop… Ah, maybe it's the one I saw when Ortho and I were working on the printer just a while ago?
Maybe… Maybe I can help her out with magic. I never got to thank him for using the workshop, either… I guess I can go talk to them. Ah, excuse me. | |
Workshop Employee Workshop Employee |
Yes? …Eek, Deuce-kun!? | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
Now what do you want? What, are you trying to harm my employee or something? | |
Deuce |
No, not at all! I overheard that she left her headband, and…
I'll summon it for you with magic! That way, you can register for the race, right? | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
You'll summon it with magic? Can someone like you who only has the brains to cause havoc really do something like that? | |
Deuce |
I'm not that confident, but I think I can at least summon… But I still mess that up sometimes, too… But I'm going to try! | |
Grim |
…I don't know about how good this'll go | |
Deuce |
Sh-Shut it! I have to focus, so be quiet.
[inhale, exhale] … COME FORTH, RABBIT EAR HEADBAND!! It's the same design as the one I saw in the workshop earlier. That means… | |
| Choice 1: Congrats! | Choice 2: You did it! | |
Deuce |
Yeah! I'm so glad it worked out.
This is your headband, right? Please accept it. | |
Workshop Employee Workshop Employee |
… | |
Grim |
This lady's completely frozen in her tracks… Maybe she's terrified of you!! | |
Deuce |
Eh!? Oh no, is it because I just suddenly called out to you? Sorry, I shouldn't have done that… | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
I can't believe that that Deuce just successfully summoned something, and even took care to think of my employee's feelings… | |
Dila |
Hey, listen to this! Deuce has been really motivated ever since enrolling in Night Raven College.
Just the other day, he sent me a picture of a certificate that he won as an award at a track meet. It… does look like he's having a bit of a hard time with his studies and magic, though. But he's doing is best in the only way he knows how. And recently, he's been really considerate, saying stuff like, "Aren't you tired?" and "Don't push yourself too hard"… Sounds like he's made some good friends, too. I'm truly happy that he's enjoying himself every single day over there. | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
…Looks like Deila-san was telling the truth. | |
Deuce |
Eh? Did my mom say something? | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
Yeah. She said that you had a change of heart and are doing your best now. | |
Deuce |
My mom said that…? | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
Honestly, I couldn't believe that you actually cleaned yourself up, no matter what Deila-san said…
You've convinced me, Deuce. Thanks to you, my coworkers and I can enter the race. | |
Deuce |
Since I couldn't thank you earlier for letting us use your workshop… I'm glad that I was able to be of help here. | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
Oh, don't worry, there's still a lot that you need to pay me back for.
But for today, you did good. Hey now, you thank him, too! | |
Workshop Employee Workshop Employee |
…Thank you for helping me. And, sorry for being scared of you! | |
Deuce |
And I'm sorry for suddenly calling out to you and scaring you, too. | |
Workshop Owner Workshop Owner |
You're going to join the race too, right? Let's all do our best! | |
Deuce |
YES, SIR!
I "convinced" him… Huh. | |
| Choice 1: You did it! | Choice 2: That's great. | |
Deuce |
Yeah. I was worried that I hadn't matured at all, but… Thanks to that, I'm feeling a bit better.
To be perfectly honest, I planned on just coming back here by myself. After swinging by to see my mom and the festival real quick, I was just going to jump on my blastcycle and go for a ride. If you, Grim or the others hadn't come with, I don't think I would have had a chance to talk with people in town. So… Uh, yeah, thanks for coming here with me! | |
Grim |
Heheh, least I could do. | |
Deuce |
For everyone who came here with me... And also for my mom, there's no way that I can lose this race.
We'll definitely win! Yuu, watch me go! | |
