Literature Text

Rho: In that city, it was continuously said “Unhappiness, goodbye”
Lambda: Although personally, I didn’t know if this was true or not.

Holding on to that objective (dream) I was influence to wish for certain things as a child
And I believed that when I become an adult a shining future would arrive, but the reality is that an unreasonable amount of unbearable pressure was put on me
I told myself this was what being an adult was about - at some point, like an incantation
Certainly, the things I can do have increased and almost all things I want are within my reach but what I wanted, was it really something like this?
Ah, I really hate this; as I grow older, the fun things I can do decrease
This world is like a never ending penalty game
Ah, it’s pointless - everything is pointless, I’m tied down, equal to negative people who slow each other down
Nostalgia pierces my worn out heart, at least in my dreams, it’s okay if I always remain a child, right?
Yours, everyone’s unhappiness - goodbye!

Lambda: The city removes the young girl's unhappy memories
Rho: Despair and grief break the girl herself as though putting an end to her.
Lambda: And like this, she forgets the adult world.
Rho: Her mind (soul) is shown the way to the city’s light.
Lambda: Reality, (the earth) is inside a deep “hole” that was drilled earlier
Rho: Your joint dreams (world) as a child has gotten hold of a new container

When I opened my eyes, there was nothing, so just for now, we decided to race.
Soon we became tired of racing and playing tag, so just for now, we wished to the great star.
“Please give us a new game to play”
The next day, a giant “hole” opened up in the sky and from there fell “junk” as we watched in a trance.
The “junk” continued to have practical use, and we built a secret base.
Everyone made this, our treasure, with a smile.
We wanted a place where we could have fun with more and more people so with more material, we made the secret base bigger.
Before we knew it, the secret base had become a small town. And we named it “Paradise Town” to express our happiness.

Lambda: The town seems to grow every moment.
Rho & Lambda: As though
Rho: it was stimulated by the junk that fell from the “hole”



With uncontrollable curiosity, we played with things that we could not manage, pistols, electric trains, cannons, rockets, things with a dangerous smell and because of a careless person’s mistake, someone died.
We were all horribly upset, and shuddered.
“Death ( a mistake)” left us a lesson.
By combining some of the “junk”, we created “books” and “wisdom”
So we don’t waste their “death (sacrifice)”, we will try our best.
We decided the city wasn’t good enough as it was, and the current system was wrong.
Those who break their promises will be handed down a sca~ry punishment.
The atmosphere was strained, so the people who were fooling around were assigned jobs, the amount of time and place were assigned according to people’s limits but was a falling out inevitable?

“I don’t want to! I want to play more!”
“The time to play is over, come, it’s your shift.”
“Even though I don’t want to do these things.”
“Why can’t I just do things I like?”
“Because doing painful things is a citizen’s duty.”
“Why can’t I just play freely?!
“If you don’t uphold the rules, playing will be banned!”


The firmly made system was finished, and I’m certain the city became peaceful (?) but we, who were meant to have been playing, were not having even a bit of fun.
Whatever we do in the place is no fun. I feel like I’ve experienced this sometime in the past…
Looking deep into the hole, I discovered that the “base” was tied to the world and there, I finally “remembered” everything.
The Paradise Town (place) “now” seemed very much like the boring world that adults wished for, there’s no way way we didn’t notice.

Ah, I remember, as I grow older, the fun things I can do decrease.
Equal to negative people who slow each other down.
Ah, I miss it, even if it was only a dream, I can’t give up on the junk paradise.
Ah, I’m difference from those lethargic adults.
This time I will create a happy world with everyone.

Rho and Lambda: That girl’s voice becomes vacant; She targeted the Paradise Town in the deep, deep hole, and leaped inside.
