hihi i'm aurora welcome to my lil neospring! i'm an 18trip translator and i love kuguri a lot. feel free to swing by and ask me questions about my tls, ev3ns, or 18trip stuff :3

hi anon! i unfortunately didnt get nanaki either, so i had my friend screen record for me! heres the drive link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11M_1KnoWc34qrp-vQQ1l6etP0yNzzdEV

i can talk about them sure why not KJFHS im not really good at describing what i think sometimes but one of the main things i enjoy about raikugu is like. raito mentioning how kuguri never hides any ill intentions or hostility from him which is Huge from a character like kuguri who is generally very secretive and Not At All open. i just think theyre crazy theyre sooo wild JSHFDK also canon gun fight scene in mainsto side a thats already enough to have me like . aaa

hi anon ty for reaching out :3

fave charas besides kuguri would be the rest of ev3ns and nanaki (ive adopted him KDJSHF) i am also a big unapologetic chief (mc) fan so momiji and kaede are always fun to see !! fave ship outside of ev3ns is netanagi its really crazy. my favorite song issss scarlet scars its my absolute comfort banger i play it on repeat a lot its awesome.

thank you anon! i'm glad you like my tls <3

as for ships... raito and kuguri are a classic duo they're very crazy to me KJFSDH i like platonic kuguri and chihiro i think the hc that they paint their nails together is super cute KJSHFH

idk i feel like theyre always the ones caught in kuguri's shenanigans KJSFH poor taotao </3

I'M SO SORRY THIS IS A LATE RESPONSE ANON OMGKJDSFH i'm working on it with myun and jelly, but we're taking more of a relaxed pace since im busy with my internship and theyre busy with other things :3

I LOOOOOOVE ESU SO MUCH he's my little son i am a crazywink + esu lover <333

ohhh that's so sad to think about... i still can't believe we're going to have his novel voiced...

it's no longer public!

i'm not really sure anon im sorry i haven't directly ordered 18trip merch yet </3

yes i'm going to translate it! i just can't start translating it until december bc i have my hands full with an internship now ^^;

yeah! if my interest in translating for enstars comes back, i'll translate :3

sorry this response is late anon, but youre absolutely right! i've been thinking of making a breakdown graphic for it or at the very least just bulleting how i interpret it, but his ssr is truly so good i love it so much.

im glad to hear that :3 it's such a lovely and heartwarming crazy:b story im glad i decided to translate it

his design mostly was eye catching i have like. the exact moment i was interested in him screenshotted HDKHD then i read his novel and card stories and the rest was history. now i’m here HKDHDK

OH BOY okay okokokok SO ill just go point-by-point

• if it is one (1) thing about kuguri that you have to take away from this answer its that he Does Not Talk Like Sakuma Rei From The Hit Game Ensemble Stars. KJHDFSKJFHSDK that is the biggest mistake anyone could make with his charavoice

other than that:

• kuguri is not formal with his speech hes really lax, teasing, etc but he wont ever say please KSDJFH this is like super important he is incredibly self confident and doesn't enjoy being "beneath" anyone. if that makes sense.
• his speech also isn't very complicated or dramatic in a casual setting. like he'll reference specific things (ie: liszt's pieces or the theory about the oyster shell), but the most he'll ever be is vague about something
• he addresses everyone in the cast by their first name even those older than him (the only exceptions being ev3ns/chief bc he has nicknames for them)
• kuguri doesnt like being told what to do (he straight up says so in ev3ns mainsto side a)
• kuguri is acutely aware of who interacts with him physically as well as when and how
• he can get really passive agressive KFDJSH he's very snake-like with how sharp and fast he is with being mean
• only stays in places if (1) he absolutely has to and (2) it interests him enough to stay.

ofc ill go into more detail when i inevitably post my kuguri brain vomit KJFHD i hope this helps anon if i think of anything else i'll follow up KDSJFH

tysm anon it makes me really happy to hear that, i appreciate you lots for this message too <3

no problem at all anon ty for the question! im definitely going to translate it >:3 though i cant start it until december after i graduate university and finish my required amount of hours at my internship. i hope i can make the wait worth it for you <3 !!

day2 kids have a nice little place in my heart, especially nanaki and kiroku KJHFDS i'm glad you enjoyed the survey anon it makes me happy that people were interested in the responses :3

KFJKHS this is a nice surprise i didn't expect someone to be curious about my answers /pos

• rank: 57; ive been here basically since launch
• i'm a translator, translation proofer, story fanatic, and merch collector (i also feel like a librarian since i keep careful track of who translates what SFKJH)
• my favorite unit is obviously ev3ns, kuguri is my kamioshi, and nayuki is my favorite conductor (live laugh ev3ns)
• my fave hamasaki sibling is momiji, and my favorite NPCs are yunyun and kodama.
• i don't really have a favorite KOBE mayor since i don't know much about them DKSFH
• my favorite songs are scarlet scars, ivory, and shall we travel
• my favorite initial ssr is muneuji's, and my favorite gacha ssr is ushios ayakashi card :3
• my favorite main story section is all of chained up scarlet, and i also really like day2 side b
• sand sculpture of the heart and ayakashi parade are my two favorite event stories so far, tho i really like mistery under a moonlit passage too
• my favorite novels are kuguri, ushio, and tao's :') they are quite the emotional rollercoasters
• last but not least, my favorite sr stories are all the ukiuki paradise sr initials (their interactions are super funny) i don't quite have a favorite ssr story fave yet SFKJDH

thank you for the nice question anon KJSDFH

no worries anon! i'm actually really happy that you're excited for the poll results :3 as for kaede and momiji... i don't think their ages are explicitly stated anywhere? though theres a couple of things that hint at their ages as far as i know:

1. they have to be old enough to drink
2. kaede is older than momiji

that would be sand sculpture of the heart, track 5! here's the convo (tl by me!)

raito: I had some ramen during my break. There’s this interesting local kind called “su ramen”. kinari: At noon, I received a stuffed camel from a fan… it seems to be a souvenir from this site. kuguri: A puppet getting a stuffed animal, hm? That suits you, plüss.

yes absolutely at one point ill compile a bunch of things about kuguri and his complex character and share it with all of you to see :3

tysm anon!! i’m excited to share the results of the poll im just making all the graphics look nice :3 no spoilers BUT! i will reveal that the top three for people’s favorite event story is VERY close. like < 5 vote differences. sorry for the delay in the reveal but my schedule is absolutely packed on weekdays so i only have time to work on 18trip things on saturday/sunday

i think kuguris eyes are such a highlight of his design theres So Much to tell about him there i agree he is gorgeous
