I had written a transcript ages ago on Tumblr and even uploaded playthroughs of them, some with captions<\/a>, but with the teaser that the episodes may FINALLY be releasing for everyone, I figured it’d be nice to have a guide up. As always, you can see the illustrations over here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Everything has now been updated to the official translation.<\/b> You can find my playthrough of the official translation here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like other “Event” episodes for High School Life, the episode can be played indefinitely by buying the respective Ring at the Ring shop. This one just originally required you to redeem a special code from Japan Expo 2013 to access it. That said, even though it’s an event episode, you will only be able to meet the LIs you’ve met in HSL already<\/b>— If you haven’t played through Episode’s 4 (Lysander), 10 (Armin), and\/or 13 (Kentin), you will only be able to run into Castiel and Nathaniel. Kentin sadly doesn’t count until his return. But yeah, this works partially as well, if you’ve met Lysander\/gotten through his episode, he can show up as well alongside Castiel and Nathaniel, but you won’t find Armin or Kentin.<\/p>\n

Each LI has one choice that will make them an option to pick at the end and one that does not. You can pick all the “right” choices at no cost to who you want to go with as long as you pick the person you want the illustration of at the end.<\/b><\/p>\n

The outfit costs $130 (or $265 for some people?) for some reason even though the outfits are usually free in Ring Event episodes.<\/p>\n

\n

Rosalya:<\/b> I\u2019m so excited! We will be able to cosplay and take lots of photos!<\/p>\n

\u2022 What’s koss-playe?
\n\u2022 Y-You mean we’ll dress-up?<\/p>\n

Rosalya:<\/b> I could see Iris as Neko-girl\u2026 But a maid outfit would suit you much better!<\/p>\n

\u2022 A maid\u2026 Is that like a server?
\n\u2022 I have no idea what you just said…<\/p>\n

After this, you will get to wander the halls looking for the HSL Love Interests. Depending on your choice, they’ll either be an option to pick at the end for you to get their illustration or not. <\/p>\n

As mentioned above, if you haven’t played their introductory episodes, you will not be able to meet them in this special until you do.<\/b><\/p>\n

Castiel:<\/strong> I don\u2019t like to lie…<\/p>\n

\u2022 You don\u2019t like it at all? \u2b05 Towards Illustration<\/strong>
\n\u2022 I don\u2019t care, I didn’t dress up to please you!<\/p>\n

Nathaniel:<\/strong> But, so… Are you going to walk around in front of everyone dressed like that?<\/p>\n

\u2022 You know, it’s mostly to please Rosalya! \u2b05 Towards Illustration<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Yeah, of course! It’s going to be fun!<\/p>\n

Lysander:<\/strong> Rosa offered that I come too…<\/p>\n

\u2022 And you don\u2019t want to? \u2b05 Towards Illustration<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Really? Then come! it\u2019ll be fun!<\/p>\n

Armin:<\/b> You\u2019re going? You’re so lucky! I\u2019d love to go too, but I\u2019ll never be able to convince Alexy to come with me\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2022 If you really want to go, you can come with us! \u2b05 Towards Illustration<\/strong>
\n\u2022 You should insist! He\u2019s your brother, he\u2019ll eventually accept! <\/p>\n

Kentin:<\/strong> Oh yeah, that convention where there are only Japanese things?<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hey! The Japan Expo is much more than that!
\n\u2022 Yeah, pretty much. \u2b05 Towards Illustration<\/strong><\/p>\n

After, you’ll go back to finding Rosa.<\/p>\n

Rosalya:<\/strong> Oh yeah? Did any of them want to come?<\/p>\n

Depending on who you picked the right options for, you may actually have a second option here! Otherwise, there\u2019s only the first choice. If you ended up not getting to convince anyone, you only get the second choice. <\/p>\n

\u2022 Yes, why? \u2b05 Towards Illustration<\/strong>
\n\u2022 No…<\/p>\n

You will then get to pick who you want to invite if you picked “Yes, why?” (or if that was the only option you got):<\/p>\n

Rosalya:<\/strong> Oh cool! You should go ask one of them to come with us! I have cosplays for boys that I’ve never been able to make Leigh wear… Do you want to?<\/p>\n

\u2022 I’ll go ask Castiel!<\/a>
\n\u2022 I’ll go ask Nathaniel!<\/a>
\n\u2022 I’ll go ask Lysander!<\/a>
\n\u2022 I’ll go ask Armin!<\/a>
\n\u2022 I’ll go ask Kentin!<\/a><\/p>\n

If you ask Castiel<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Castiel:<\/strong> If it\u2019s as a server, count me out immediately.<\/p>\n

[Name]:<\/strong> No! No! We found something else!<\/p>\n

\u2022 You can cosplay as a pirate! Like in Pirates of the Caribbean! \u2b05 ILLUSTRATION<\/strong>
\n\u2022 You can cosplay as Assassin\u2019s Creed!<\/p>\n

If you ask Nathaniel<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Nathaniel:<\/strong> Like what?<\/p>\n

\u2022 Something from Ouran Host Club, for example!
\n\u2022 Something from Pandora Hearts, for example! \u2b05 ILLUSTRATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you ask Lysander<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Lysander:<\/b> Which one? There are a lot\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2022 A Vampire Knight costume would be perfect!
\n\u2022 A Black Butler costume would be perfect! \u2b05 ILLUSTRATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you ask Armin<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Armin:<\/strong> Oh yeah? What?<\/p>\n

\u2022 You love video games! Wouldn\u2019t you like to dress up as Link?
\n\u2022 You love video games! Wouldn\u2019t you like to dress up as Ezio? \u2b05 ILLUSTRATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you ask Kentin<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Kentin:<\/strong> No, it\u2019s not that exactly, but \u2026 I\u2019m not really sure what would suit me.<\/p>\n

\u2022 I know! A Metal Gear costume!
\n\u2022 I know! A Tsubasa costume from Reservoir Chronicle! \u2b05 ILLUSTRATION<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
