A Cinderella Story

Ugh...now I know how hard is a translator's job.

This is a Cinderella story told in the game 明日の世界より/Tommorow from New World. The story is my first attempt in translating Japanese, so expect it to be roughly translated (and thus maybe have many errors). Enjoy!


Once upon a time, lived a girl.

That girl was a daughter from a village who now lived in countryside.

One day, the girl fell in love with a boy who saved her from a dangerous place.

But surprisingly, the boy was a prince, who ought to be loved by everyone.

And beside the prince, there's his fiance and her older sister.

Three of them were good friends, so much that the girl couldn't be in between them.

But the girl didn't gave up. She decided to become a soldier in order to be close to him.

Then the country was in war.

The girl, was one step closer to the prince because of her disguise.

The girl tried her best as a soldier.

Because of that, the girl got praised by the prince and be promoted.

Someday, the appearance of a soldier training in front of the prince disappeared.

The prince had promoted the girl into knight, and ordered her to always be close to him.

The prince always wanted for a friend of same age.

Then the prince and his knight wandered various places.

To the sea. To the mountain. To the forest.

They both made many secrets known only by them.

The girl was happy. And so the prince.

The prince was able to make his first friend.

But the war situation became worse. In three months, the country, many people predicted, would fall.

So to enjoy the last memories, the king ordered to hold a last ball.

The girl, who had been worried this being the last time she could beside the prince, dressed, wanting to dance with the prince.

Because she couldn't do that as a knight.

"But until now, I could be near the prince because I was a knight."

The girl became worried.

Her mother, who always hated her, went first to the ball, left her only with a bad dress and hard-to-walk high heeled shoes.

The girl frightened what will happen when this country are ruined.

But even not as a knight, the girl didn't matter, as long as she can be near the prince.

So, the girl put on the bad dress her mother left her, wore that high-heeled hard-to-walk shoes, imitating her mother's hairstyle, and went to the ball.

But what happens?

The prince not aware of the girl because she dressed up.

The prince was only looking for a good friend.

Actually, the prince had realized about the girl, but he's scared to admit it.

After the ball, the prince got a report that one knight is missing.

Feeling grief and sadness, the prince couldn't sleep.

When the girl tried to remove her dress, it was too late. Whoever voice couldn't carried to him anymore.

The prince would keep in grief. Until this country are ruined.

The girl returned to her village.

And alone, her memories with prince in that place, will be kept.

Until the country are ruined.



This story actually pretty much tells a route in the game. The game is quite good too.
