Chapter 19 - Unnecessary things
Shaun! Let's run away, it's a "ghost"
...No, it isn't
...! Perhaps
Shadow House by Soumatou
Elijah Long
Eli Young
Okage-sama...!!
...It's "strange" for "living dolls" to sleep at a place like this
Shaun! Do you think it's alright for us to talk to the Okage-sama?
This is a first time for me too, I'm not sure
I'm troubled... I've been seen walking late at night
Well then...
What shall I do...
Ehm
If there's something troubling you, we can help you!
Cameron Taylor
Emilyko... was this really that kind of scene?
Eh?
Eh?
...... I'm not your enemy
Though I'm not your ally either
Can you keep secret about me?
Ye~s!
...Is it alright for you not to go after the kid who ran away earlier?
Aah Ram!? We have to go after her!
I left... the lantern
Where am I...?
There's... no light
Dominic Cook
This kid is crying again
Even though we're the ones who feel like crying
Because of her our squads evaluation will go down
E...
Eh...
E ehrm...
I wonder if you're trying to make an excuse
it's useless to listen, I don't understand what you're trying to say
You should just say you're sorry
If anything happens, we'll tell Barbie it's your fault
Barbie is scary, it seems she had a "living doll" disposed of in the past
An unwanted "living doll" like you
Lucas Cooper
Speak to me ...pointy finger
#her pointy finger is given a name in furigana (should be above the words pointy finger)
#, but I can't quite make it out due to low quality
"Ram, the darkness is scary"
Barbie will... dispose... unwanted living doll...
Speak more!! When it's dark I hear voices I don't want to!!
"Ram, do you think she'll come rescue you?"
...Who will...?
"That kid"
She won't come, she's been killed by the "ghost"
Even if she were fine she wouldn't come, I left them behind and ran off
"But if it's that kid, I feel like she might come"
..."Living dolls" are used and thrown away
Only the high-grade ones remain
It's strange to care about other living dolls
"But if she came you'd be happy, right?"
Happy...? I don't know the feeling of happiness
Connor Richardson
You're a weird guy
Weird!?
Kate-sama tells me that too!
"Don't think about unnecessary things"
One of the rules "Living dolls" remember from birth
We live for the sake of our masters. It's pointless to care about other "living dolls"
Even now you're desperately searching for Ram
...It seems I'm not high-grade
Like you say, even though I should only be thinking of Kate-sama...
But it wasn't good for you to go against Barbie either
That was...
Certainly that conduct was not to my masters benefit...
I guess I'm not high-grade either...
Juan Martin
From the perspective of an Okage-sama, a living doll like me is of no use, right?
#undecipherable
.......
It's hard to answer that question
Eh ehm, I was wondering but, isn't your voice a bit weird...
Are you an idiot?! Don't say impolite things
I... I'm sorry
You don't have to worry about it
Ram~
Where are you~?
//guuuu
#Should probably just leave it in kana
Will you have some bread?
Puh
Ryder Moore
Why do you have bread in your pocket?
Shaun you laughed!
... what?
Even though I thought your face must be ceramic
..."Expressions" exist for the sake of our masters
But if you don't exercise your face your cheeks will stiffen
! ...that might be true
...Ram isn't here
and we've gotten lost again
......That's right, aren't you going to use the map from before?
Ah! I forgot about it!
Let's smear out the places we go!
...So we're starting over? It'll become morning
Caleb Nguyen
Waah!!
I've smeared out the places we've been
She smeared it out with soot...? A clever Okage-sama
Thank you very much!
I don't feel like going to the same places again
Why are you coming along in the first place?
Places we haven't been...
Here! "The hallway that leads to the entrance"
I wonder if she went outside?
It's forbidden to go outside
Let's have a look anyway!
So we've walked along the whole grand plaza...?
The search for the cause of the "ghost" is hopeless...
Ian Morgan
On Mia's memo there's written "you mustn't go there"
Indeed... even going through the door and trespassing on this halfway is bordering on forbidden
I won't stop you whatever you do
...... I'm going...!
We have to find Ram before morning
Wait!
Lucas Howard
Make sure to check
Liam Wilson
Isaiah Green
So those who try to leave the "Shadow House" on their own accord
are instantly disposed of... huh?
They'd go far...!?
"Living dolls" think about things
...we just want to be of use to Okage-sama
......... "Don't think about
unnecessary things"
You guys are
Interesting

Chapter 20 - The Kind Okage-sama

Looks good, and feel free to wait for the tank, no sense doing the same work twice if you don't want to, probably only two months to go before the next one anyway.
Benjamin Gutierrez
Hey hey, this is no time to get all dark, you have to find that kid right?
That's right! Thanks a lot for your advice!

Carson Mitchell
This Okage-sama... Did she know about the traps?...
Shaun thanks for helping me too!
How did you know about the traps?
It made a sound when you stepped on the floor
Haa~ Even though it was me who stepped on it I didn't notice
About that, it was you who realized the Okage-sama wasn't a "ghost" too
I smelled it
It smelled like perfume
And the members of the Shadow House all wear perfume
Is that right? About that, Kate-sama smells good too!
But to notice that instantly, your eyars and nose are good Shaun!
Is that so?
But I wonder where Ram went
There's no way she could have gotten through that passage, so she must be over here, but...
Maybe she went back towards her room...
Jaxson Clark
//Kyaaaa...
Ram!?
The sound is coming from the other side of this wall!
Show me the map! ......
There's no door leading to the other side
......!
I've figured it out!!
Eh!?
Colton Ward
So it's a revolving door?!
Emilyko! How does it look inside!?
It's dark so I don't understand!
I jumped into it with great momentum so my body hurts all over!
If you noticed the door you could have just slowly opened it!
That really is correct!
That hurt! I bumped into the wall
Wait until I get there
Ayden Sanchez
Sure, just translate missing stuff here
Joshua Gray
Ram!!
I worried about you
Did something happen?
......Ko... ......Ko...
Waah! "Kobiritsuki"!!
It's alright, I'll squash it
Ei!
Ram! Turn on the rooms light!
Sebastian Phillips
Waah!!
It's a "ghost"! So this room was the cause
We forgot the water! Water works against ghosts, we messed up!
If we hit it we can defeat it! For now hold down the "ghost"
Leave it to me!
...I overslept this morning and caused Kate-sama trouble...
Bu... but, I think it's strange for it just to be blamed on someone with no reason!
We're "faces", with a face this worn out, there's no way I can serve that role
I'm only thinking seriously about my masters will.
Ethan Gonzalez
Ehm.... but, what shall I do, ehm...
Ah!!
Shaun, I'm borrowing this
Blanket!
Waa
a
aaa
Keep screaming like that! I know where you are
The "ghost" is on top of me, no, from Shauns perspective it would be right! Left...?
Jonathan Hernandez
If I'm this close I can see it on my own!!
Waaah, it's in pieces
Your strength is amazing Shaun!
Tie it up in case
//Fuuuu...
This is no time to relax! Please look at that
I can't see it
There's a trapdoor in the cealing. It's off and soot is leaking through
Of course
So this is an intermediary facility for moving soot to "the place for processing soot"
So there was one in a place like this?
//It's alright
Blake Ramirez
Soot... processing?
The soot you gather cleaning is sent to "the place for processing soot"
There the soot is hardened and turned into "soot coal"
This is the "Shadow House's" important energy source
"Soot coal"...
So soot isn't just being thrown out?
..."Soot coal" is far more effective than regular coal, and it's light and easy to handle
"Soot coal" is amazing!
Is that so?... So this room uses the same kind of equipment as "the place for cleaning off soot"?
and the trapdoor in the ceiling is...
I get it! This is the passageway for the sot from everyones rooms! That's why soot is leaking out
//Even though I was trying to say that...
That must be it
The ventilators are managed at an intermediary facility
The trapdoor in the ceiling must be for maintenance
#drawing: (in right to left order)
#soot passage
#everyones rooms ventilators

Dylan Hill
So the hinge rusted and fell off, so the door got loose.
The soot leaking from there gathered and became a "ghost"!
It wasn't anyones fault!!
It's solved!!
Eh? The Okage-sama from earlier disappeared
She was of great help
if we meet again I'd like to thank her
.....Why did she explain so much to us?...
Then!
For celebration have some bread
I don't need any
//guuuuu
...Shall I eat after all?
Easton Stewart
...Delicious!
Eh, this is the bread for members of the Shadow House
Kate-sama shares with me
I want everyone to eat it too
Is it good Ram?
//nood
Is she that close to her master?... She really is weird
...I'll have to return the components to where they were before
Cameron Wilson
This times newcomers... I'd like to meet them again
Following day
...Hereafter! The cause of the "ghost disturbance" was an equipment fault
That's why I say, if you don't pay attention, the same thing could happen again!
Focus on your work! Dispersal!!
Dominic Sanchez
Ufufu! Did you see Barbie's frustrated face earlier?
Neither me nor Rose knew about the soot processing intermediary facility. That's "Hoshitsuki" Barbie's responsibility
Isn't it Barbie who isn't paying attention?
Ufufu you're the best Emilyko!
The letter exchange with Mia was useful
#map, letter, handmade doll, memo
I didn't think a handmade doll would come back in place of a reply
//thanks, ufufu
/ara, that sounds fun
I'm still bad at writing, so I sewed you something instead
I didn't write that much into the map...
Eh? This map...
Ara! Everyone, it's about time to return to our rooms
Mia, you're especially strict with time, right?
That's right, I have to hurry. See you again
Ufufu, that was really interesting
