#BUT. i wish undead's climax event would come soon;;; even though i think he should be the 3* because his last 4* was in march

[leatherbookmark]

BOY SOON

friday i think...? it's my least favourite koga 5* (the ranking goes 1>4>2>5>3) because there's something kind of off about the bloomed version that i can't really put my finger on...? probably the foot lol, the toe's kinda weirdly shaped. BUT it's still a nice 90k card and a large blue jewel farmer, so! i can't dislike him. plus i'm always weak for a cutely excited koga :')

and omg i finally saw the enst basic chibi motion for koga's most recent 5* and

THAT SLEAZY LEAN AND :P... SO CUTE... i love him...

UNDEAD Climax Event: Split Paths - The Admired Figure and Flashbacks: Otogari Adonis Mini-talks

Pre-TL Note: Thank you for your patience! I thought Adonis's mini-talks were really cute, so they were a pleasure to translate. I hope you enjoy them!

Mini-talk 1 (Conveying Feelings through Writing):

Adonis: Hm…The documents you make are always so easy to understand. Thanks for letting me read them. You have a nice writing style. I can feel your consideration for the person reading it in every word. I wish I could prepare something like this too, but I wonder if I’ve got what it takes.

→I think you’re just not used to it.

Adonis: You think so? Then, maybe I’ll be able to improve someday if I take the chance to write every day. I’ve gotten used to writing short messages, so from now on I’ll try to be more conscious of writing longer ones.

→Would you like some advice?

Adonis: Are you going to help me? I think if you taught me, I could improve quickly. Fufu. If you ever need my help, you can always call on me. [1]

→Whom you want to show it to is important.

Adonis: You mean I should think about the person who’s reading it? In your case, I think that feeling really shines through. I don’t think I’ve considered that until now. I’ll try to be more aware of it from now on.

Mini-talk 2 (Conveying Feelings through Writing):

Adonis: That reminds me, I have something I want to ask you. There’s something in the documents I don’t understand. There’s a word in this sentence that I’ve never seen before. What does it mean? Hm? Ahh, it was just a kanji typo, huh? Sorry about that, I didn’t notice.

→You pay really close attention, huh?

Adonis: I know. I’m reading every detail to make sure I don’t miss anything. I’m the one who’s in trouble if something happens, after all. Since it causes problems for the people around me if I miss anything, I have to be extra careful with work-related documents.

→I didn’t notice it either.

Adonis: So anyone can make a mistake like this, huh? I’m glad I was able to notice it. I guess it’s something that someone has to show you first in order to get it. I’d like you to tell me when I make mistakes, too.

→Please let me know if there are any other mistakes.

Adonis: Since you were so careful with every page, I think it’s okay. You should have more faith in yourself. Your work really is incredible, I promise.

Mini-talk 3 (Conveying Feelings through Writing):

Adonis: Ahh, I get it now. I’ll share these with the other members of UNDEAD. I’m grateful you took the time to bring me these even though you’re so busy. Speaking of which, if any of us have any questions, can we reach out to you on Hold-Hands?

→Sure, go ahead!

Adonis: Alright, we’ll do that. You can reply whenever you have time. I’d appreciate it if you would continue to look after me.

→You can ask the next time we meet up, too.

Adonis: Should we do that then? Although, I don’t know when we’ll be able to get together again…No, I don’t have anything to back this up, but we should be able to meet up again soon. I can’t wait.

→If you ask me to, I’ll come again.

Adonis: Really? I feel bad for making you come all the way to the office. I think I should come to you next time. I’ll go anywhere, so let me know if you know a good place for us to meet.

Mini-talk 4 (Colored Paper Memento [2]):

Adonis: It looks like we still have a little while before the car will be here. It’s nice that we can do a lot of different things as HELLSING, [3] but not being able to see the senpai really does make me feel lonely. Producer, do you know how they’re doing?

→They’re doing well.

Adonis: You saw them a week ago? I see, that’s goo to hear. Oogami didn’t say anything, but he looked like he wanted to know too. This is the best solution for the situation, but..I think that the first order of business is doing our part properly.

→Why don’t you reach out to them?

Adonis: Actually, I sent Hakaze-senpai a message, but he hasn’t answered. Normally he would answer right away, but maybe I just didn’t see it…? I hope I can reach him…

→What do you think?

Adonis: I’m sure they’re fine, but I can’t help but worry. If you have the chance to see them, let me know how they’re doing.

Mini-talk 5 (Colored Paper Memento):

Adonis: That reminds me, I found this colored paper while I was cleaning my room earlier. I wanted to show it to you, so I took a picture. Here, take a look. Fufu, Kanzaki really has amazing handwriting. His personality really shines through in his letters. His signature is different now, but I think it has a certain charm to it.

→Where did you get that?

Adonis: Ahh, I asked Kanzaki to write this for me. Look, it’s clearly marked as “to Adonis-kun," right?

→The letters sure are pretty.

Adonis: Fufu, I used to think Kanzaki was a samurai…He signed it for me then. I remember going around and bragging about it to everyone in my home country.

→When did he write it?

Adonis: He wrote it for me when I first came to Japan. We got some colored paper at a nearby convenience store, and he signed it for me. It’s a memento of when Kanzaki and I became friends.

Mini-talk 6 (Colored Paper Memento):

Adonis: Anyways, I’ve been filming all day, so now I’m hungry…Have you eaten dinner yet? If you haven’t, do you want to go to the company cafeteria together? It’s just about time for dinner and Oogami should be done with work right around now, so let’s invite him along.

→Today’s menu should be a grilled meat set.

Adonis: Oh, really? Meat really is the best when you’re worn out. Hopefully it isn’t sold out…I hope the car gets here soon.

→If you insist…

Adonis: There’s somewhere Oogami wants to go? In that case, going there is fine too. Let’s send him a message.

→Now that you mention it…

Adonis: You have a coupon for a restaurant that’s close by? Can I use it? I don’t usually go there, but…Let’s give it a shot.

TL Notes:

[1] lit. “if my help is ever necessary instead, I’m willing to help whenever”

[2] lit. "colored paper of memories." It refers to a kind of paper usually used for painting, drawing, and autographs. If you google 色紙 or shikishi, some examples will come up. The literal translation is "colored paper," but I don't think we have a proper term for this in English.

[3] lit. “as HELLSING, the breadth of the activities we can do is wide”
