…I see. So you know about the Pumpkin Knight.
Then do you know this? It's a really well-known fact between hardcore fans. Pumpkin Hollow is apparently based on a real story. | |
| Man A & B | A real story? | |
Ortho |
Yup.
A long, long time ago, there was an incident where the ghost of a jack-o'-lantern that had been completely ruined moved into the body of a knight… …and turned all the people enjoying their meals into pumpkins! The ghost was probably jealous of the food because no one wanted to eat it. And the place that Pumpkin Knight first appeared… was this very Sage's Island! The people that were around at the time fought desperately to defeat the Pumpkin Knight, and then buried it underneath this very library. That's why they prohibit eating or drinking in here. The Pumpkin Knight gets angry when it watches people happily eating away. | |
| Man A | Ah-hah-hah! Do you really believe that?! Man, you're so cute. | |
| Man B | The jack-o'-lantern ghost turned people into pumpkins?
That could never happen! Just chill! | |
| *munch munch* *glug glug* | ||
Ortho |
I wonder... Huh?
Hey! Did you not hear a strange sound just now? | |
| Man A | What? | |
| *clank clunk* | ||
| Man B | You're right… There's some kind of clanging sound. Like metal rubbing together or something. | |
| *clank clunk* | ||
| Man A | Hey, does it not sound like it's coming closer? | |
| *clank clunk* | ||
| ??? | "What kind of pumpkin can pumpkins not eat despite it being a pumpkin?" | |

"…The answer is yours truly! The tragic monster, Pumpkin Knight!" | |
| Man A & B | WHOA?! | |
| Man A | Wh-What's this guy's deal?! He just suddenly jumped out at us. And is that… armor? | |
Ortho |
Ahhhhhhhh! It's the Pumpkin Knight! | |
| Man A | Pumpkin Knight? This thing? Hey, is he tellin' the truth? | |
| Man B | Well, it's not like I've ever actually seen the movie myself, so I don't really know. | |
Ortho |
M-Misters, you have to run! Hurry!
If you don't… the Pumpkin Knight will begin his revenge! | |
Idia |
"You're too laaaaate!"
"Gahahahaha… Oh, you sinful humans. You must have ran out of luck to run into me, the Pumpkin Knight." "All this pain and sadness within this pitiful, half-rotton body of mine… It's time for you to experience it all yourselves!" | |
| Man A | Wait, is the library on fire?! This is bad! | |
| Man B | This ain't just normal fire, this is like, blue-white! | |
Idia |
"These are the fires of the afterlife. I'll turn you both into pumpkin pie and dump you without even giving you the chance to be eaten!"
"Gather 'round, dark vines! Catch those humans!" | |
| Man A | Th-Those vines from the wall are coming right for us! | |
Ortho |
Waaaaaaaah, help me! My ankle's been caught by the vines!
It's gonna take me awaaaaaaay! | |
| *drag* | ||
| Man B | O-Oh, crap! That kid got caught! | |
| Man A | Just calm down! This is clearly just the students playing some trick to try and scare us.
Let's catch 'em and expose them for what they are! | |
Idia |
"Gah! What cocky humans you are to think you can stand up to me, the great Pumpkin Knight." | |
| *clang* | ||
| Man A | Alright, I've got his hands. Pull him down! | |
Idia |
"Guh!" | |
| *bang!* | ||
| Man B | Nice! Let's rip off his helmet before he gets up and see just who the culprit behind all this is! | |
| Man A | Heck yeah! I got the hel…met…off...?
…What? | |
| Man B | H-He… He doesn't… | |
| Man A & B | …have a head?! | |
Idia |
… | |
| *clank clunk* | ||
| Man B | Huh? Isn't this sound… what we heard when the Pumpkin Knight first appeared? | |
| Man A | The sound of its armor?! | |
| *clank clunk* | ||
Idia |
"You foolish humans… You're worth even less than vegetables…" | |
| *clank clunk* | ||
Idia |
"Disappear together with the dew drops of the pumpkin field!" | |
| Man B | Th-Th-There's suddenly a ton of Pumpkin Knights! | |
Idia |
"We will take this opportunity to settle our grudge. Time to show these humans… the punishment of Halloween!" | |
| Grooaar! | ||
| Man A & B | Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! | |
