Isn’t Being A Wicked Woman Much Better? Novel

Description

She possessed a villainess who is known and hated for her evil acts in an unpopular novel. But because of her personality, it was extremely difficult for her to play the villainess role. But not for long…

“I’ll fix your dress according to your taste this instant!”

“My request.”

“O-Of course! As per your request, there’s only one piece available in the whole Empire.”

People around me listen to me well even if I just frown and sit still. Since I don’t have to live in difficulty, I decided to just comfortably live on as a villainess.

“Father. Is it necessary for you to solve formulas in this slow and inefficient way?”

I thought it would be good to be a rich villainess, so I used all my knowledge.

“Why don’t you give me the honor of escorting the Princess?”

I have had enough of dealing with my father, so why did an unexpected character suddenly appear? What if this person disrupts my plan?

Me drawing something from one of the Kirby books again except it's not a redraw of a previous illustration and doesn't have a twist gag at the end. Nope, just my futile attempt to draw a garden filled with bushes in the middle of a heist.

This moment takes place in the Dreamy Gear light novel near the end of chapter [REDACTED] which is on of my favorites I dare say. If anything looks a bit wonky then that's because I drew the original years ago and never got around to actually finishing it until very recently.

Alternate versions of this under the cut.

World of Intellectualism

[missasahina]

What it means to be protected, Chapter #002-2 - Book 1, Season 1

The story is below, in English. The following text in Spanish is my commentary.

Me he dado a la tarea de terminar de traducir el primer volumen de la novela. Es decir los capitulos #002-2, #003 y #004-1, que son los unicos que nunca logre encontrar por internet. El primer volumen tiene 9 capitulos y cubre desde la llegada de Ema a Sunrise Residende hasta el evento de Tsubaki y Azusa al que Emma asiste por invitación de ellos. Si alguien quiere los 2 primeros capitulos, yo los tengo en PDF en ingles, nunca volvi a encontrar el team de traduccion que los tradujo. Dejo el PDF del texto integro en japones al final del post / The PDF with the full text in Japanese is at the end of the post.

Hay mucho contenido que no se cubrio en el anime, se saltan tres pueblos. Las introducciones las dejan como estan pero cortan los primeros dias en la residencia, las vacaciones de verano, el beso de Kaname en la playa que abre todo el lore de lo que va a pasar con Iori (es imperdonable que se saltaron TODO el arco de Iori), Emma enfermando y todos preocupandose por ella, el evento del juego de Tsubaki y Azusa, el side Yusuke... He mencionado ya el evento de Tsubaki y Azusa? lol

Anyways, el anime lo pone todo en todos lados, el juego es mas acorde con la novela, pero usa los eventos dependiendo de la ruta y no es lo mismo pero bueno... al menos no se dejan detalles.

El contexto de este capitulo es: directamente pasando del anterior, El baño de la habitacion de Emma esta roto, ella quiere ducharse en el baño del 5to piso, pero es interrumpida sucesivamete a diferentes horas de la mañana por Tsubaki y Azusa (ellos estan practicando un libreto de amor entre hermanos (??) y Emma pensando que es una confesión decide huir y darles privacidad), Fuuto (que estaba dormido en el sofa y la ataca verbalmente porque BRAT) y Subaru. Antes de toparse con Subaru; a las 5 am, ella logra ducharse y decide tomar una botella de leche en la cocina envuelta en la toalla deciones, Subaru en boxers aparece porque tambien iba a tomar una ducha en el 5to piso y la ve. Juli se esponja y ella se va a cambiar a su habitación.

Resumen del capitulo: Emma y Ukyo hacen el desayuno juntos, la mayoria de los hermanos estan en la mesa. Emma se fija principalmente en Subaru; quien come super rapido para desaparecer de alli porque esta incomodo xd, y en Tsubaki y Azusa porque ella piensa que ellos estan saliendo... Ella los confronta, ellos bromean, pero al final le dicen que no, no estan saliendo. Antes de terminar de desayunar todos presionan a Yusuke para que sea un hombre y proteja a Emma de ser aplastada por la multitud en el tren de camino a la escuela. El la acompaña a regañadientes y la proteje demostrando que reamente es un chico gentil.

English text below:

After returning to my room, I dried my hair and suddenly realized it was 6:30.

I hurried to the kitchen, Ukyo-san had already started preparing breakfast.

"Good morning."

Ukyo: "Oh. Good morning. You'll be helping again today, won't you?"

"Yes."

Making breakfast with Ukyo-san has become a daily routine.

I asked Ukyo-san what the menu will be and divide up the work.

Today, as usual, we'll be making rice, miso soup, pumpkin salad, and an omelet.

I began to prepare pumpkin salad.

(First, cook the pumpkin in the microwave......)

I cut the pumpkin into quarters and wrapped it in plastic wrap.

As I did so, Ukyo-san stared intently at my hands.

"What's wrong?"

Ukyo: "What are you going to do with that?"

"Oh, well. You can easily soften pumpkins and potatoes by microwaving them."

Ukyo: "I see. It does take a long time to boil it until the core is gone."

Ukyo-san seems seriously impressed.

(I’m a little embarrassed……)

Ukyo-san is making an omelet on the stove.

One after the other, fluffy yellow omelets are made, without a single burnt spot.

(He's making three at a time...)

Ukyo seems very experienced, more like a chef than a lawyer.

As I continued cooking, admiring Ukyo-san's skill, Kaname-san appeared in the living room.

Kaname: "Good morning, imōto-chan."

"Good morning. You didn't train with Subaru-san this morning, did you?"

Kaname: "A lot happened last night. The truth is, I didn't get enough sleep ~"

As Kaname-san spoke, he yawned loudly.

He certainly looked sleepy. His eyes still looked half closed.

(Well, I had a lot going on too.)

When he says, “a lot happened”, it sounds a bit meaningful.

I guess Kaname-san's “a lot happened” really are profound in meaning.

"Would you like some tea? It'll wake you up."

Kaname: “Hmm, it’s okay. More than that, if you gave a wake-up kiss, I think I'd feel a lot better……”

"I-I won't do that!!!"

Kaname-san is Kaname-san, even if he's still sleep-deprived.

(For now, let's proceed with the preparations)

――― And then.

"Hya?!"

Suddenly, I felt a cold, chilly hand on my neck.

Louis: "It's so moist... Did you use that treatment?"

"Louis-san...?"

Louis-san is stroking my hair.

Wow, what a surprise...

"Oh, good morning. The treatment that Louis-san taught me the other day fells amazing! Thank you."

I've been using the product that Louis-san introduced to me recently, and it's really good for my hair.

Louis: "Next time, I'll show you how to blow dry your hair properly."

"Oh, thank you."

Then, for some reason, Louis-san looked closely at Juli, who was sitting on the kitchen counter.

"... Is there something wrong with Juli?"

Louis: "Are you not going to talk today?"

"Eh?"

With that, he went off in the direction of the sofa.

What does that mean? Juli also tilted his head.

Louis-san really is a strange person...

…………………………………

As breakfast was ready, everyone gathered at the dining table, except for Masaomi-san, who as usual was still in bed, and Fuuto-kun, who had to work until late last night. Subaru-san was there too, but he didn't even look in my direction.

(Hmm, this is really awkward...)

Anyone would react the same way if they were seen dressed like that...

For now, let's not worry too much about it.

After we all said "itadakimasu" in unison, I immediately put the omelet that Ukyo had made into my mouth.

(Oh, it's delicious...!!)

I was slightly moved by its fluffy, melting texture, and then... I noticed Subaru-san shoveling his food into his mouth with great vigor.

Iori: "Subaru-niisan, why don't you eat more calmly?"

Subaru: "..."

Subaru-san continues to eat furiously without heeding Iori-san's advice.

Eventually, Subaru-san puts down his chopsticks and stands up briskly.

Subaru: "Thank you for the meal. I'm off now!"

That was quick!

Subaru-san finished his meal in no time and was gone like the wind.

I guess it was just difficult for him to face me after all.

As I was thinking about that,

Azusa: "It's early. I guess the basketball club is having morning practice. It's not going to be easy against some of the strong teams in the league."

Tsubaki: "But you know, they lost in the fifth round of the championship in May, right? Isn't that a bit dangerous?"

Azusa: "Now that I think about it, the team seemed to have a hard time in the rookie tournament. But Subaru's three-pointers seemed to be pretty good."

Tsubaki-san and Azusa-san were conversing.

Come to think of it, I wonder what has happened to the two of them since then?

Even though I was concerned about Subaru-san leaving, my eyes couldn't help but glance at the two of them.

(Because I was curious...)

Azusa: "Oh, Tsubaki, there's a grain of rice on your mouth. I'll get it off for you."

Tsubaki: "Thanks, Azusa."

(They're so close...)

The two of them seem to get along well, unaware that I am agonizing over such things.

(Are they dating after all?)

I don't think so, but seeing the situation like this, I can't help but think that maybe they are!?

Iori: "What's wrong?"

Suddenly, Iori-san spoke to me.

"Huh? What's the matter?"  I said in a strange, high-pitched voice.

Iori: "Well, you are furrowing your eyebrows."

"Ah!"

I was taken aback when Iori-san pointed it out. It seems I had been thinking deeply and made a troubled face without realizing it.

Iori: "Is something bothering you? Or are you feeling unwell?"

"No, nothing. It's not like that..."

Everyone at the table turned their attention to me.

Wataru: "But it seems like you're not eating much, onee-chan..."

Even Wataru-chan spoke out of concern.

(That's enough, listen!)

"Um, well... there's something I want to ask Tsubaki-san and Azusa-san."

Tsubaki: "Eh? Us?"

"Y-Yes..."

I looked back and forth between the two of them and hesitantly opened my mouth.

"Ummm... Tsubaki-san and Azusa-san, what kind of relationship do you have?"

Azusa: "Hmm? What kind of relationship?"

"...Like, are you dating..."

Yusuke: "Pffff!!"

At that word, Yusuke-kun spits out the miso soup he was drinking.

I-I suppose that makes sense. Anyone would be surprised by that statement.

Yusuke: "Da, dating... Ah... Eh... you mean as a couple, right...?"

Yusuke-kun muttered, sounding stunned.

Hearing this, Wataru-chan and Louis-san asked,

Wataru: "Are Tsukkun and Akkun lovers?"

Louis: "Lovers...?"

They asked innocently, Tsubaki-san and Azusa-san looked at each other.

(But, they're dating, right? Because, yesterday...)

The conversation that took place in the living room last night kept going round and round in my head.

Azusa: "What? Suddenly."

Azusa-san looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"Um, well! Last night, Tsubaki and Azusa were in the living room and... I overheard them."

I'm sorry! Tsubaki-san and Azusa-san!

When I spoke up, it seemed like something had dawned on them.

Tsubaki: "That's right! We decided to go out. I fell in love and I couldn't stop myself, so last night I confessed to Azusa♪"

Azusa: "Tsubaki..."

"What!?!?"

Yusuke-kun and I both shouted at the same time. Oh, so it's what I thought...

Tsubaki: "And Azusa felt the same way, so we're happily lovers now. And we did all sorts of things after that yesterday!"

Azusa: "Wait... stop..."

Tsubaki: "Don't hide it now, Azusa♪"

Tsubaki-san grabs Azusa-san who is resisting and even kisses him on the cheek!!

Yusuke: "That's just... weird for two brothers, right?!"

Yusuke-kun is completely flustered.

Kaname: "Well, I think love between men is okay too. Gender, age, and race don't matter when it comes to love. And it's between family members too...right?  Imōto-chan♪"

Kaname-san, who was sitting next to me, leaned in close and whispered.

"Huh?! Wh, wh, what is it?!"

Kaname: "What is it? Don't pretend not to understand."

Just because Tsubaki and Azusa are getting lovey-dovey, don't drag me into it!

Ukyo: "Okay, okay, stop joking and hurry up and eat your breakfast."

"Huh?"

I was taken aback by the words of Ukyo-san, who looked dumbfounded.

Are you kidding...?

Tsubaki: "Hahaha! That was a good reaction, you know."

Azusa: "Ha~. Tsubaki, stop being such a jerk in the morning."

"Wh-what do you mean...?"

Azusa: "We were reading a script together last night."

Tsubaki: "Yeah, we were practicing for work!"

"Practice for work...?"

Azusa: "I got into the role and practiced my acting by actually saying the lines out loud."

Tsubaki: "Last night... I think it was a drama CD about a brother-sister romance. I was working on the role of the older brother, and I had Azusa play the younger sister as a practice partner."

"Ah, what...!"

Oh, what? That's what it was... I'm so surprised...

I mean, I jumped to conclusions...

I'm embarrassed...

…………………………………

Tsubaki: "Now that I think of it, are you and Yusuke still going to school separately?"

"Huh? Ah... yes."

I was taken aback by Tsubaki-san's sudden question, so I blushed.

Actually, even though we go to the same school and are in the same class, we go to and from school separately.

That's because Yusuke-kun doesn't want people to know that we're ‘siblings.’ He deliberately goes to school at a different time.

Tsubaki: "Why don't you just go together?"

Yusuke: “Uh, shut up! I-I'm busy so I have to go earlier!"

Yusuke-kun stammers in response to Tsubaki-san's words, and now Kaname-san presses him.

Kaname: "You say that, but really you're just embarrassed to go to school with your little sister, right?"

Yuu: "N-no way! It's not like that!!"

Yusuke-kun is even more flustered.

Azusa: "Isn't it hard for a girl to ride a crowded train alone in the morning?"

Azusa-san looks concerned and calls him out.

Iori: "I'd accompany you, but we go to different schools, and I bike to school anyway..."

Wataru: "Are you okay, onee-chan?"

Louis: "Yusuke... Honestly, it’s important."

Iori-san, Wataru-chan, and Louis-san are all so kind.

"Don't worry! Even though I look like this, I'm actually pretty strong!"

Tsubaki: "Don't push yourself too hard. It's unthinkable that our cute little sister would be crushed in a crowded train. What do you think about that as a man, Yusuke?"

Yusuke: "Ah... uuh..."

Yusuke-kun seems troubled by Tsubaki-san's criticism.

"You don't have to push yourself, Yusuke-kun. I'm totally fine."

Even though I said that the brothers' eyes were all fixed-on Yusuke-kun...

Everyone, calm down!

Then Yusuke-kun shouted,

Yusuke: "...Just for today! And when we leave the house, don't call me 'Yusuke-kun'!!!"

…………………………………

On the way to the station, I walked one step behind Yusuke, who looked sulky the whole time.

We arrived at Kichijoji station, feeling somewhat awkward.

(What an amazing person…)

The platform is packed with people.

Hinode High School, where Yusuke-kun and I go, is about 30 minutes away by train in Iidabashi.

To get to Iidabashi, we take the Chuo Line rapid train to Yotsuya. From there, we change to a local train for two stops.

(It's nice that Bright Centrair can be reached by bicycle.)

When I think about the hardships that lie ahead, I really envy those who can commute by bicycle.

As I was thinking, a rapid train glided in front of me.

Yusuke-kun and I were all pushed onto the train.

(Hmm... the rush hour is especially intense today...)

Right now, it is the peak of congestion. Once we get to Shinjuku Station the number of passengers will decrease significantly, so it should be a bit easier...

Yusuke: "A-Are you okay...?"

"It’s... a bit painful... Kyaaah!"

The train shook violently.

Just as I was about to lose my balance, Yusuke-kun, who was nearby, supported me.

"Th-Thanks... Yusuke-kun."

Yusuke: "...I told you not to call me by my name!"

Yusuke-kun made me stand in front of the door, shielding me from the crowd.

(His face is bright red...)

It seems like he's trying desperately to protect me.

Just as I was feeling grateful, the train started to shake again.

"Ahhh!"

Yusuke: "Are you okay?"

I couldn't help but press my body against him. It was a crowded train so it couldn't be helped...

I felt apologetic so I raised my head, and our eyes met at close range.

(So close...)

Yusuke: "Uh..."

Yusuke-kun hastily looks away.

The sound of the train clanking echoed in my ears.

I didn't notice it when we were at home or in the classroom, but...

His strong arms and sturdy body were protecting me.

Feeling that, I was reminded that Yusuke is a boy after all...

(Thanks to you, I feel a lot better now. Thank you.)

I once again murmured gratitude in my heart to Yusuke, who was desperately trying to protect me.

…………………………………

"Today's rush was even more intense. Thank you so much for helping me."

Yusuke: "I-I didn't really help you or anything! I just happened to end up positioned like that..."

Yusuke-kun said bluntly, which made me smile.

"But thanks to you, it was a lot easier. Thank you so much, Yusuke-kun."

Yusuke: "Ugh...!"

When I said that, for some reason Yusuke-kun turned bright red.

Yusuke: "I-I-I told you not to call me by my name! I-I mean, I'm going ahead!"

Yusuke-kun said that and then made a mad dash for some reason.

He ran off.

Yusuke-kun's face was as red as his hair...

"Well, I've got to get going too, or I'm going to be late."

The train is usually packed and uncomfortable, but today it felt like we arrived at the station in the blink of an eye.

"I hope we can come together again."

I ran toward the school gate, following Yusuke-kun as he ran away.

Honestamente, no se si Emma es muy naive o muy valiente, yo me hubiera llevado la impresion de que Tsubaki y Azusa estaban saliendo a la tumba. lol

Gracias a este capitulo comencé a pensar en Yusuke bajo otra luz, la descripicon de "Sus brazos fuertes y cuerpo robusto me estaban protegiendo" me dejo plop en el piso 🫠

7th Time Loop - 11. Bölüm

wattpad / manga tr / instagram

Cilt 1 Bölüm 2 Kısım 4

Haydut olayının ardından, Rishe, şövalyelerin onun varlığında biraz olsun rahatlamaya başladıklarını hissetti.

Başlangıçta yardımını kabul etme konusundaki isteksizliklerine rağmen, yaralıların durumunu rapor etmeye ve herhangi bir endişelerini doğrudan ona iletmeye devam ettiler. Karşılığında, mola verdikleri yerlerde çevredeki kırsal alanlardan bitki toplamayı kendilerine görev edindiler.

Rishe, bunu minnettarlık için yapmamıştı ama yine de duygulanmıştı. Şifalı bitkiler toplamak, eczacı olarak yaşadığı zamandan beri onun için alışkanlık olmuştu ve sadakati reddetmek aptallıktı.

Haydutlarla yaşanan çatışmadan birkaç gün sonra, fayton konvoyu nihayet imparatorluk başkenti Galkhein'a ulaştı.

“Aman Tanrım,” diye mırıldandı Rishe kapılardan geçerken.

Beyaz taş binalar dümdüz sıralar halinde yükseliyor, temiz ve düzenli caddeleri süslüyordu. İlk katların hepsi dükkân gibi görünürken, ikinci kat pencereleri çiçeklerle süslenmişti. Nereye baksa, gülümseyen yüzler gördü; vatandaşlar, pürüzsüz tuğla yollar boyunca prenslerinin dönüşünü izlemek için toplanmıştı. Tüm bunlara tepeden bakan imparatorluk sarayının ihtişamı görülmeye değerdi.

Arnold, “Başkent, Galkhein'daki güç merkezidir,” diye açıkladı. “Birçok önemli ticaret yolu burada birleşmektedir.”

Rishe kafasını salladı ve birdenbire arabadan çıkmak için sabırsızlanmaya başladı. İlerleyişlerini izlemek için giderek daha fazla insan toplanıyordu; bazıları kollarında alışveriş torbaları taşıyor veya çocuklarıyla el ele tutuşuyordu. Birçoğu, sanki çok sevdikleri birini selamlıyormuş gibi el salladı.

Mutlu vatandaşlar ve temiz, düzenli sokaklar zenginlik demekti. Galkhein zengin bir imparatorluktu. Rishe, parlayan gözleriyle onları izleyen sevimli küçük bir kıza sırıtmaktan kendini alamadı. Rishe'nin gülümsemesini görünce kızardı ve sevinçle gülerek havaya sıçradı.

Araba, kale kapılarından geçmeden önce şehir boyunca ilerledi. Disiplinli şövalyelerden oluşan sıralar, veliaht prensi ve nişanlısını karşılamaya hazır bir şekilde yolu çevreliyordu.

Arnold arabadan çıktı ve Rishe'ye elini uzattı. Rishe inerken refleks olarak elini tuttu. Bir prensin, bırakın kendi eşini, herhangi bir hanımefendinin arabadan inmesine yardım etmesi beklenirdi ama nedense şövalyeler biraz rahatsız görünüyordu.

Rishe onlara masum bir şaşkınlık ifadesiyle karşılık verdi.

“Uzun yolculuğumuz nihayet sona erdi, Ekselansları, Leydi Rishe.” Oliver şövalyelerin arasından çıktı ve eğilerek selam verdi. Arnold'a meraklı bir bakış yöneltti. “Nişanlınızın elini tuttuğunuzu görmek ne kadar yenilikçi.”

Ah! Rishe, kendi koyduğu şartı kendi rızasıyla çiğnediğini fark etti. Arnold elini uzatmıştı ama kabul eden o oldu.

Arnold zaferle hafifçe güldü. Rishe, kandırıldığı için bir anlık öfke hissetti.

Oliver, Arnold'ın kulağına fısıldamak için eğilmeden önce onlara baktı. Arnold, rahatsızlıkla bir nefes verdi.

“Bir sorun mu var?” Rishe sordu.

“Sarayın ek binasının bizim için hazırlanması için emir gönderdim, ancak hazırlıklar programın gerisinde kalmış gibi görünüyor. Üzgünüm ama birkaç günlüğüne ana sarayda bir misafir odasında kalman gerekecek.”

Rishe, “Ek binanın hazır olmaması benim için sorun değil,” dedi. “Şimdi oraya gidebiliriz.”

“Uzun zamandır kullanılmıyor. Tozla kaplanmıştır.”

“Ortalığın dağınık olmasına aldırmayacağımı söylemiştim, hatırladınız mı? Ancak kendinizi zahmete sokmanıza gerek yok. Elbette, ihtiyacınız olduğu kadar ana sarayda kalabilirsiniz.” Rishe, bir ömrünü hizmetçi olarak geçirmişti—toz onu korkutmazdı. “Ayrıca, ne de olsa ben bir rehineyim.”

“En azından sıkıntılı bir şekilde konuşmayı denemelisin,” dedi Arnold, bir nebze alınganlık ifadesiyle.

Yüzüne kocaman bir sırıtış yayılmış ve göğsü gururla kabarmış olan Rishe cevap vermedi.

***

Ek binanın, arazinin uzak bir köşesinde ayrı bir saray olduğu ortaya çıktı - dört kat yüksekliğinde ve söylendiği gibi kesinlikle toz içinde yüzüyordu.

Yine de o kadar kötü değil. Rishe çürüme ve dağınıklığı hayal etmişti, ama çoğunlukla sadece bomboştu. Bomboş ve küflüydü, ama çürümemiş ya da dağılmamıştı.

“Burayla ne istersen yapabilirsin. Önümüzdeki birkaç gün boyunca meşgul olacağım, ama boğulmaktan bıkarsan ana saraydaki misafir odalarını kullanmaktan çekinme,” Arnold ayrılmadan önce söyledi.

Oliver'a göre, prens yokken işler birikmişti ve bunlar sadece birkaç gün boyunca gece gündüz çalışarak halledilebilecek birkaç şeyden ibaret değildi.

İmparator Arnold Hein… Şu anda sadece bir veliaht prens, ama yine de kafasında neler döndüğünü bilmek isterdim. Şimdilik, sadece yapabileceğim şeylere odaklanacağım. Bu yeri yaşanabilir hale getirmek gibi.

En sade elbisesini giydi ve kollarını sıvadı. Muhafız olarak kalan şövalyeler, Rishe pencere pencere dolaşırken ve tüm pencereleri açarken onun etrafında nöbet tuttular.

Şans eseri, hava güzeldi ve ek bina güneş ışığını almak için iyi bir konumdaydı. Herhangi bir konfor unsurunun olmaması burayı münzevi ve sıkıcı gösteriyordu ama bir kez döşendiğinde Rishe'nin buranın çok güzel olacağından hiç şüphesi yoktu.

Üst katları havalandırmak için bırakan Rishe, bodrum katına giden merdivenleri buldu. Ağır ahşap kapıları iterek açtı ve fareler ayaklarının üzerinde koşuşturdu. Rishe karanlığın içine inerken şövalyeler korkuyla çığlık attı.

“L-Leydi Rishe, neden buraya iniyorsunuz?”

“Temizlik malzemeleri genellikle bodrum katında muhafaza edilir. Gördünüz mü?”

Şövalyeler, Rishe’nin bakışlarını takip ederek bir toz bezi, süpürge, faraş ve taze bezlerden oluşan bir yığını gördüler. Bir kovaya su doldurdu ve işe koyuldu, duvarların üstündeki tozları süpürürken ağzını kapatmak için bir mendili rulo haline getirdi. Sonra yerdeki tüm tozları süpürdü.

Böylesine pis bir yeri temizlemek her zaman tatmin edicidir.

Toz yumaklarını koridorun ortasına kar gibi birikene kadar topladı ve sonra onları açık kapıdan dışarı süpürdü. Zeminler tozdan temizlendikten sonra, zemini bezle temizlemeye başladı.

“Leydi Rishe, yardım etmek için yapabileceğimiz bir şey var mı?”

Rishe, şövalyenin teklifine minnettardı, ama başını sallayarak reddetti. “Göreviniz beni korumak, temizlik yapmak değil.”

“Burası kendi başınıza temizleyebileceğiniz bir yer olsa da,” şövalye tereddütle dedi. “Misafir odalarına taşınmak için hala çok geç değil.”

“Sorun değil. Burayı şimdiden sevdim.”

Rishe tek bir nedenden dolayı reddetmekte kararlıydı: misafir odalarını hazırlamak korkunç bir angarya* idi. Saray hizmetçilerinin, misafirler yalnızca bir gece kalsa bile, odaları hazırlamak için gece boyunca çalışması beklenirdi. Hiçbir toz zerresi veya saç teli kalmamalıydı. Elbette buruşuk çarşaflar da olmamalıydı. Rishe, hizmetçinin işinin ne kadar yorucu ve titiz olduğunu, ne kadar sinir bozucu olduğunu biliyordu.

ÇN: Angarya; zahmetli ve tatsız işler için kullanılır.

Sadece birkaç gün kalmak için zavallı hizmetçileri böyle bir eziyete sokmayı reddetti. Görünüşe bakılırsa, sarayda çok fazla hizmetçi bulunmuyordu. Zaten ellerinin dolu olduğuna şüphe yok.

“Üstelik, bir bakın.” Kollarını genişçe iki yana açarak, pırıl pırıl temiz olan zemini işaret etti. Şövalyeler, parlak odayı hayranlıkla izlediler.

“Bir yeri kendi ellerinizle temizlemek, orada yaşamayı çok daha tatmin edici hale getiriyor, görüyorsunuz.”

Şövalyeler beceriksizce ama iyi huylu bir şekilde gülümsediler.

Herkese merhaba, ben çevirmen luna. Duyurular için instagram hesabı açtım beni oradan takip edebilirsiniz. Bölümleri yüklediğimde oradan da haber vereceğim yani oradan beni takip ederseniz daha hızlı bölümleri okuyabilirsiniz. Ayrıca burası maalesef wattpad gibi olmadığı için kaç kişi okuyor anlayamıyorum, bu yüzden lütfen yorum yapın. Yoksa sanki boşluğa yayımlıyormuşum gibi hissediyorum. Tabi ki çeviriyi bir hobi olarak yapıyorum ama amacım bunu sizlerle paylaşmak. Ben nasıl çeviri yaparken hem uzun süre kafa yorarak çeviri yapıyorsam siz de yorum yapın, bu çok bir şey değilll.

Herkese iyi okumalar☆☆☆

Hyouka. my old friend recommended me in the last year of middle school, and so...the journey started. the anime, then the manga, and then the Light Novel. the literature club and its members. and the mysteries. YES, THE MYSTERIES a very silly question turning into a mind-woggling mystery. and not to mention the crafty use of Japanese. i read in English, but even then I can understand how fine threads of mysteries and puzzles have been woven into the story. no big crimes or anything. just the daily life. And it's mysteries. I thank Honobu Yonezawa Sensei for this. As long as anime remains, this work won't be forgotten.

iCORE è in 3° posizione su Amazon nei più desiderati in light novel per ragazzi!! Io e l’editor abbiamo ritenuto necessario curare maggiormente il testo e le illustrazioni del 2° volume, ma ormai mancano davvero pochi giorni al lancio.

Grazie per la pazienza!

Se avete apprezzato il primo volume di iCORE, mi piacerebbe leggere le vostre recensioni. 🥰

Do I genuinely have hobbies or am I just desperate to find something I'm useful in?
