Howdy and hello, It has been a WHILE I havent posted here to this blog of mine's and I do apologize for the inactivity,, I have to be honest it is mostly due to my mental health + real life being more busy, so radio silence will be here often.

However I'll pop in to post something silly, I guess once every blue moon. With my hyperfixations constantly changing, it'll be a bit jarring. ^^; ALSO as socially awkward and anxious I am, I want to thank yall for the comments and reblogs, it really makes my day reading back to them, thank you,,,

That's it for now, so now have a interaction I thought of between 2 tall fellows 🍂

◛ Preview: Ghilley who was secretly preparing chocolate for the manager ahead of Valentine's Day runs into Noah in the kitchen. The two quietly start making chocolate but eventually get caught by other Soul Reapers. Will they be able to outrun the reapers' endless pursuit and deliver the chocolate safely to the manager?

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵ ◛ Chapter 3 : Their Alliance

Noah: "This voice...!"

*jump*

Sian: "What is this crazy sweet smell...! How did kitchen get so messy? Don't tell me-"

Theo: "Chocolate...?"

Sian: "These traitors! Didn't we make an alliance not to give chocolate to manager...!"

Noah: (There was an alliance like that?! When?!)

Noah: "...Ah, I forgot again."

Licht: "Darling! No use making such a sad face!"

Licht: "I'm confiscating that chocolate!"

Sian: "Get hold of that Ghilley right now! Don't know what's that in his hands but it's huge!"

Ghilley: "Fufufu...! Do you really think I'll be caught that easily?"

Ghilley: "Abracadabra!"

Noah: "Magic?!"

Ghilley: "Escape through the back door!"

*Hu!*

Sian: "Ugh! I was taken aback by that stupid spell!"

Sian: "After him!"

*Rumble!*

Noah: "...!"

Noah: (Ghilley must have did that spell to draw attention on purpose. Thanks to Ghilley, it seems like no one is in the kitchen. I hope it works....)

Theo: "Are you gonna run away?"

Noah: "!!! Theo...?"

Theo: "I was really stupid too....How could I be relieved by making an alliance of some sort knowing full well what kind of person manager is..."

[T/N: he meant how well-loved the manager is]

Theo: "Traitor sprouts can grow anywhere."

Noah: "Theo, I understand you're upset. But I was never aware of the alliance's existence."

Theo: "It's okay. It was my fault for being careless."

Theo: "It's time to correct mistakes."

Noah: (Aren't his eyes unusual?)

Theo: "You're not allowed to take a single step out of here."

Theo: "And that chocolate will go into the trash."

Noah: "...."

Noah: "Sorry, but I didn't make it with the intention of it being easily thrown away."

Theo: "This means business!"

︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

Manager: "Hm? Is no one eating breakfast today? Why is it so quiet here...."

Manager: "What is this big thing and this ribbon?"

Ghilley: "Good morning, mistress."

Manager: "You scared me! Ghilley? When did you come here?"

Ghilley: "Fufufu....I was waiting for mistress."

Manager: "Me...?"

◛ Chapter 4 : End of Betrayal

Ghilley: "Made for today...."

Ghilley: "Please accept the chocolate!"

*Whoosh~*

Manager: "!!!"

Manager: "Isn't that..."

Manager: "Me?!"

Ghilley: "It's a chocolate of your form, mistress."

Ghilley: "How is it?"

Manager: "Huh...? Yeah...Woah! It's really, really awesome....amazing."

Manager: (Why did he make a chocolate out of me? What day is it today? What's happening all of a sudden?)

Manager: "Hey, Ghilley. What is-"

Sian: "Found you!"

Ghilley: "This...! You finally came."

Kati: "I will...."

Kati: "I will bite you off!"

Ghilley: "No!"

Ghilley: "Kati bit the mistress!"

Manager: "Ow...! No wait, he bit the chocolate! Don't say that!"

*Plop!*

Ghilley: "Mistress' head fell off!"

Manager: "Uwaa!! I don't-"

Kati: "Kyahaha! Mission complete!"

Sian: "Well done, Kati! Justice prevailed!"

Manager: "My neck....."

Ghilley: "Ah...! The end of my chocolate I made with all my heart...!"

*Plop!*

Sian: "Hm! This is how the person who breaks the 'don't give manager the chocolate' alliance meets his end!"

Manager: "Alliance? Chocolate? Ah!!"

Manager: "Today is Valentine's Day! What should I do.....I didn't prepare anything!"

Sian: "I didn't give you anything because of that alliance, but that traitor...!"

Kati: "Hiss! If you say that, what will happen to us?!"

Ghilley: "I do not wish to speak to such a cruel destroyer."

*Swish*

Kati: "What?!"

Manager: (Ghilley....he worked so hard for it, he must be upset that the statue was destroyed before he could even show it properly.)

Manager: "I can feel the feeling Ghilley put in this, it's really great."

Ghilley: "The neck is broken though."

Manager: "It's a feeling that can't be expressed with chocolate."

Ghilley: "...."

Manager: "Thank you. It was a very nice gift."

Ghilley: "...."

Ghilley: "Fufufu...fufufu...! Fufufufufu!"

*ssing*

Kati: "Ahh! The lights are starting to melt the chocolate!"

Manager: "If we leave it like this, this place will be covered in chocolate. What do we do?"

Ghilley: "I'll have to dismantle the pieces. I feel sorry for the hard work, but...."

Kati: "Then what about the chocolate?"

Manager: "Hmm....I can't eat it all....Ah! Why don't we melt it again and distribute it to all soul reapers?"

Kati: "Big sis will give me chocolate?! I'm in favor! Kyahaha!"

Ghilley: [sulks]

[T/N: he's so cute help]

Manager: "Of course, Ghilley will have to help."

Ghilley: "...!"

Manager: "Will you help me?"

Ghilley: "Certainly."

◛ Chapter 5 : Happy Valentine's Day

Manager: "Happy Valentine's Day! This is for everyone!"

Sian: "Ah...It's not like I really want to give you something, you know? It's give and receive so just wait because I can't live with debt, okay?"

Kati: "No way! I'll be the first to give big sis a present!"

Ethan: "Pathetic fools."

Ethan: "...."

Ethan: "But I won't forget to give back."

Manager: "Hahaha, thank you."

︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

Manager: (Everyone is so kind.)

Manager: "It was a bit difficult to pack everything but it felt very nice to see everyone like it."

Manager: "Next time, I must be prepared prior."

Manager: (I already gave some to Nyang Lead Manager and Housemaster Sei, there's one more left.)

Manager: (And that person's No-)

Noah: "Manager!"

Manager: "-ah! You surprised me, Noah!"

Noah: "Oh, I'm sorry."

Manager: "Where have you been? I was curious because I didn't see you all day."

Noah: "So, you've been thinking about me all day?"

Manager: "Huh? Does this look like it...? It's not lik-"

Noah: "No?"

Manager: "Ahh! Don't look at me like that while knowing everything! It's foul!"

Noah: "Hahaha! Interesting."

Manager: (If you talk to Noah every day, your heart will stop like this...!)

Noah: "...."

Manager: "...? What?"

Noah: "How was your day?"

Manager: "Today? Hmm, well it started with chocolate and ended with chocolate. I've been busy making chocolates for everyone...."

Noah: "Then manager spent her entire day for the sake of the reapers?"

Manager: "Hm, is it? It wasn't that big thing though."

Noah: "Well then, shall I give some of my time to the manager from here on."

Manager: "Huh..?"

Manager: (Is it because of today's mood? Why am i suddenly so nervous talking to Noah?)

Noah: "So, um, with me-"

*Huk-*

Noah: "!!! Did you just try to escape?"

Manager: "No! Did-Did I? No, why would I...? Ahahaha...!"

Noah: "I'm hurt...."

Manager: "Sor-sorry! It wasn't intentional...I don't know why I..."

Noah: "Then, as an apology, listen to my one request."

Manager: "What...what is it?"

Noah: "Run away with me."

Manager: "?! Run away? What do you-"

"Manager!"

Manager: "?"

Sian: "I brought you the gift!"

Theo: "Miss Manager! I too...."

Theo: "!"

Noah: "!"

Theo: "Noah!!"

Manager: (Theo? I don't know why but he seems extremely angry...? Did he fight with Noah?)

*snatch*

Manager: "?!"

Noah: "You'll do me a favor, yes?"

Noah: "If you don't, I'll be sad."

Manager: "Ack...this is against the rules!"

Noah: "Huh?"

Manager: "O-Okay! I'll go!"

Sian: "He ran away! Noah!! I'm not letting you off so easily!!"

"I'll never forget this day!!!"

Nightmare Lurking on the Island ~A Desert Island~

===============================

Hypmic ARB in-game event story (Sasara, Doppo, Rio)

Recording Link: https://youtu.be/PCP9jVypO6Q (in case you wanna read along with the in-game voice lines and sound effects :D)

===============================

Chapter 1

Rio: Hmm… Samatoki is coming too, so I'll have to pack a second knife. *his phone starts ringing* Hmm… Who is it? *picks it up*

Samatoki: Hey, Rio?

Rio: Samatoki? What is it?

Samatoki: Turns out I suddenly got a job so I won’t be able to come with.

Rio: I see… I understand, it can’t be helped when it comes to work.

Samatoki: It’s too bad, really. I’ll surely get this over with by next time though.

Rio: Don’t worry about it… see you next time! *hangs up* I guess it can’t be helped… I’ll just go alone.

[At the port]

Sasara: Phew…Thank god the weather is nice and sunny~! Not even the tension of bad weather would’ve forced me to cut short the long-awaited Okinawa fishing trip. I’ll push the boat out no matter what. Nahaha~! Wouldn’t that be unfortunate~! For example, even if rain were to fall or if snow were to fall or if hail were to fall or if spears were to fall or if mics were to fall, I’d still weather it with all my might~! You can count on me! Yeah! You can leave it to me! Well then, I should hurry up and get this started right now by taking some pictures before we set sail! Roger that~!

Doppo: *sigh*… (I’m on the long-awaited business trip to Okinawa…. yet I’ve been apologizing so much that it feels like I’ve only been looking at the ground….That baldy….last time I brought him a souvenir he didn’t like he just called me over so I can get yelled at, which was awful… ) *sighs*…(Luckily, I was able to get a one night stay at a different hotel than the one that bald bastard is staying at… no, I bet unlike the cheap hotel I stay at, he’s staying at an expensive luxurious one…) *sighs*… (Well, to be honest… I don’t care that my boss is coming on the Okinawa trip if you ask me, but…"A man who is ‘dull’ and “gloomy” is completely unreliable" he would say, so I came here by force…) No, I can’t let my dark thoughts get the best of me! I came all the way to Okinawa, so I’ll make sure I go home having enjoyed it to the fullest!

[On an island]

Rio: Huff… looks like I’m a bit rusty… I didn’t think rowing this raft for 20 km at most would have been so exhausting… Huh… a storm is coming… I should tie my raft to a tree… That looks good. Now then, I should hurry up and find something to eat and somewhere to sleep before it starts to rain.

===============================

Chapter 2

Doppo: *chuckles* Fishing in the sea of Okinawa… This is the life, huh? I usually don’t have the time to go fishing apart from when I go with Sensei and Hifumi. Today is my chance to improve my skills a little so that I can surprise them the next time we go fishing together!

Sailor: We’re setting off!

Doppo: Oh, we’re leaving now!

[At sea]

Staff: Alright then… I’ll meet you in an hour!

Sasara: Cool! I wanna take some cool pictures! I’m riding a small boat but I’m feeling like I’m on a big boat~

Staff: Thanks, sir! No matter what, the transmitter is in the bag so there’s nothing to worry about!

Sasara: Don’t say scary stuff, man… With this nice and sunny weather, there’s nothing bad that can happen.

Staff: Right!

Sasara: Right on! *chuckles* Sometimes it’s pretty nice to get some alone time~

Sailor: Alright then… I’ll meet you in an hour!

[At sea, on a different boat]

Doppo: Yes, sir! Thank you very much! *chuckles* This is nice… being alone at sea like this. It’s a small boat, but regardless I’m having such a luxurious time! Now then, let’s get fishing right away~!

[At Sasara's boat]

Sasara: Uwaa! No good! The bag got all rained on…. Hey, where am I!?…. If it’s getting so stormy out here, will he still come pick me up… both the transmitter and the bag got drenched… Before the storm starts getting even stronger, I should go take shelter on that island over there.

[On an island]

Doppo: *pants*… In the nick of time, I escaped just before the storm got really bad, but the boat�� it broke down… what do I do now…?

Sasara: *pants* ...~!Just barely made it in time!

Doppo: Ehhh! Nurude…-san?!

Sasara: Um? Oh, if it isn’t Kannonzaka-san!

Doppo: Are you also looking for shelter on this island?

Sasara: Yeah. I’m surprised we didn’t see each other’s boats. For now, let’s cooperate and look for help together.

Doppo: Yeah, let’s.

[Something is moving]

Doppo: *gasps*

Sasara: W-what’s going on…?

Rio: *steps closer* Ummm… you guys are…

Doppo: B-Busujima-san! What are you doing in such a place…?

Rio: I disembarked on this island to train. I came out here to check what state my raft was in and it turns out it was taken by the storm’s downpour…

Sasara: Let’s skip the formalities for now and focus on getting to safety… The waves are getting pretty high…

Rio: Yeah, you’re right.

Doppo: AAAAH!!! My employee card!!!!! It’s rapidly getting taken by the flow into the seaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Rio: Hum! *jumps into the sea*

Sasara: That’s no good! He’s jumping into such a rough sea!

Doppo: Ehhhhh!!!?

Rio: Huff… Kannonzaka… this must be important to you?

Doppo: T-thank you very much… Though it’s definitely not important enough to risk your life over it…

Sasara: Buddy, that was too much… 

Rio: Don’t worry so much about me, I wouldn’t say it was too much. If anything it was rather good training for me. I set up a base in the cave that’s up ahead. Let’s get going.

Sasara and Doppo: ……

[In the cave]

Sasara: Woah~ This has got to be the first time I see a fire lit up by flint~

Doppo: T-that’s amazing…

Rio: It’s nothing special… When it comes to survival skills, starting a fire is down to the very basics. I wouldn’t be able to call myself a soldier were I not able to do this much.

Sasara: I see… Even so, being an ex-soldier is amazing, isn’t it~?

Rio: … I am still a soldier…

Sasara: R-right, good for you…

Doppo: H-hey, Busujima-san… Thanks again for helping me out with getting back my employee card.

Rio: It was no problem.

Doppo: …I really mean it, thank you very much!

Sasara: Hey hey-

Doppo: ?

Sasara: Doesn’t the atmosphere on this island make it feel like it’s all just a dream?

Doppo: N-now that you mention it, this island does seem like it’s straight out of a manga…

Sasara: Maybe this storm… caused the treasure to storm out of here with it.

Doppo: ……………………………………………………………………………

Rio: ……………………………………………………………………………….

Doppo: A-anyways… Busujima-san…

Rio: What is it?

Sasara: Oiii! Don’t just ignore me, jerks!!

Doppo: Busujima-san, why did you come to this place to train…?

Sasara: Ah, they completely ignored my flow!

Rio: I don’t want to let my instincts dull, so places like uninhabited islands, that drive people away due to their harsh conditions, are a perfect way for me to work on this.

Doppo: I-is that so…

Sasara: I don’t get that at all, however that reasoning of yours is the reason that we were saved today, so all I can say is it gave me a reason to be thankful to you.

Rio: …today has been very exhausting. Let’s go to sleep early so we can prepare for tomorrow.

Doppo: I hope we can make it out alive…

Rio: Hey… rather than thinking about getting out of here, you should focus on surviving for now as it will increase your chance of making it out. Therefore, it’s urgent that we all get some rest and recover our physical strength.

Doppo: R-right…

Sasara: Well then, let’s sleep! Zzz… zzz… zzz… zzz…zzz… zzz… zzz…zzz…

Doppo: T-that was fast… he’s already asleep…

Rio: Yeah. We should also get some rest.

Doppo: Y-yes…

===============================

Chapter 3

Doppo: *snores*... Ah… *mumble mumble*. The ground is so hard that I am hurting all over.

Rio: Hm, you woke up Kannonzaka.

Doppo: Yes, good morning.

Rio: Morning. The storm seems to have stopped.

Doppo: Will anyone come to rescue us…?

Rio: Someone might come, someone might not come.

Doppo: T-that’s…

Sasara: Fuwa~a… Mornin’! Mm? Kannonzaka, what’s wrong? Why the long face?

Doppo: Help might come, but it also might not come…

Sasara: What are you saying…

Rio: Now we should still have a go at improving our chances of survival.

Sasara: Hmm… then what exactly should we do??

Rio: We should ensure we have food and water.

Doppo: R-right… you are correct…

Rio: Fortunately, there are many animals living in this forest. That’s why I think I can rely on you two to ensure our food. We can split up and I can find some water in the meantime.

Sasara: Yeah! Leave it to us! We’ll surely grub something good!

Doppo: A-are you sure you’re okay with that?

[In the forest]

Doppo: *gasps* …what in the world was that weird noise…

Sasara: Surely it was one of the many creatures here.

Doppo: That may be the case, however, I’ve never heard such an awful noise… it sounded like it might have been a terrible monster…

Sasara: Yeah, right! We’ll have monster meat today! Doppo: Even if it really was a monster, amateurs like us would never be able to catch it.

Sasara: Alright, I’ll be going by myself until you decide to come monster hunting with me. Now then, you can call me anytime you please and I’ll come~!

Velociraptor: Kuooooo! Kuooooo! Kuooooo!

Sasara: Uwoooo! A dinosaur!!??

Doppo: UWAAAAAAAAAAA!

Sasara: W-why the hell is a dinosaur here?!

Doppo: And it’s a ferocious raptor too!

Sasara: What’s a raptor?

Doppo: Come on! That awful dinosaur looks like it came straight out of the movie Jurassic Park!

Sasara: You’re right, it does look like a scene from a movie…

Velociraptor: Kuooooo! Kuooooo! Kuooooo!

Sasara: This is bad! It’s coming right for us!

Doppo: I-if it’s like the raptors from the movie, then they probably travel in groups…

Velociraptor B: Kuooooo! Kuooooo! Kuooooo!

Velociraptor C: Kuooooo! Kuooooo! Kuooooo!

Sasara: Woah! Two more came up from the front!!

Doppo: W-we’re surrounded…

Sasara: Looks like we’re out of luck…

Velociraptor A: Kuoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Doppo: *gasps* IT’S GONNA EAT MEEEEEEEEEE!!

Tyrannosaurus: GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Velociraptor A: Gyapi~!!

Sasara: It was eaten by a different dinosaur!

Doppo: Ty-Tyrannosaurus…!

Velociraptor B: KUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Velociraptor C: GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Tyrannosaurus: GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Doppo: *gasps*...it’s a war of the monsters!

Sasara: Kannonzaka! It’s now or never! They’re distracted fighting each other, so this is our chance to escape!

Doppo: Y-yes…!

Sasara: *pants*

Doppo: *pants*

Sasara: *pants*

Doppo: *pants* It looks like we got away to safe-

Pteranodon: GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Sasara: S-something followed us!

Doppo: P-pteranodon!!! *gasps*

Sasara: T-this is bad…! Kannonzaka was taken!

[Up in the air]

Doppo: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! Help meee~!!!

[In the cave]

Doppo: *panting* I-it was a dream… Thank God…

Rio: Hm, you woke up Kannonzaka.

Doppo: Yes, good morning.

Rio: Morning. The storm seems to have stopped.

Doppo: Will anyone come to rescue us…?

Rio: Someone might come, someone might not come.

Doppo: T-that’s…

Sasara: Fuwaa… Mornin’! …Oh, it looks like it’s clearing up pretty nicely outside, doesn’t it? I’ll go out for a bit. 

[Outside, on the island]

Sasara: Not a single cloud in sight and the sun is shining brightly~. I wonder if a lifeboat will come for us anytime soon~ Um? …what’s that?

Rio: Nurude, what’s wrong?

Sasara: O-over there…

Doppo: T-that is…a pirate ship!!!!

===============================

Chapter 4

Sasara: I-it’s coming here…

Doppo: It’s coming ashore…

Rio: …pirates, huh? That’s unusual.

Sasara: No, no, no! How unusual it is is not the problem here…!

Doppo: I can’t tell what they’re after at this point… but I surely hope they’re gonna take us back to the city…

Rio: It will all depend on their attitude…

Captain Spark: Ho. I thought this was an uninhabited island, I didn’t think there’d be any people on here.

Doppo: Well, umm… We got stranded on this island because of yesterday’s storm, which is why we were wondering if you could take us back to the city.

Captain Spark: …I was just thinking I could increase the numbers in my crew. This is great! I, Captain Spark, will prosper with you three as my crewmembers! This is really great! Doppo: C-crewmembers…?

Sasara: W-what are you saying? That’s outrageous…

Doppo: Busujima-san… w-what should we do…?

Rio: …for now, we should follow those guys’ orders. If a fight were to start, we’d clearly be at a disadvantage because we’re outnumbered.

Doppo: F-fight…?

Captain Spark: Follow me!

[On the ship]

Doppo: …………………………………………………………………………….

Sasara: …………………………………………………………………………….

Rio: ………………………………………………………………………………….

Captain Spark: Alright. I’ll give you three the "Captain Spark’s Crew" uniforms. Go get changed.

Sasara: Shell yeah! I got all sticky because of the seawater, so this is just what I needed.

Doppo: A-ahaha… T-thank you…

Rio: *whispering*…what’s going on, there’s 30 people over there… Looks like this is not the right time to take action.

Doppo: Eh, did you say something, Busujima-san?

Rio: No, it’s nothing.

Captain Spark: Hurry up and get changed already!!!

[They change into pirate clothes]

Doppo: U-umm… we changed…

Captain Spark: Alright! First thing’s first, clean that deck!

Doppo: Y-yes…

Sasara: Hey hey, where is this ship headed??

Captain Spark: As always… to a treasure island!

Sasara: I-is that so…

Captain Spark: Get back to work and finish cleaning by noon!

Sasara: Bufu! Did you hear that? T-treasure island! Does he really believe in such a thing!?

Doppo: That doesn’t matter now… *sighs*... If I don’t hurry up and go back to work I’ll surely get fired.

Sasara: Now now, that may be so, but an extraordinary day like this sure is fun!

Doppo, Rio and Sasara: !?

Sasara: W-what the…?

Pirate: It’s an enemy attack!!!!

Captain Spark: Everyone! Get ready for battle!!

Doppo: *gasps* E-enemy…?

Sasara: Looks like a different group of pirates showed up.

Rio: This is our chance!

Doppo: Our chance…?

Rio: …… *takes out a rocket launcher*

Doppo and Sasara: !!

Sasara: W-why in the world do you have a rocket launcher…

Rio: …to exterminate them.

Doppo: I-it hit…

Sasara: Yeah… and it looks like they’re raising a white flag.

Captain Spark: Well done! They fell to our canons! I’ll have to reward you somehow…

Rio: Everybody freeze!

Doppo, Sasara and Captain Spark: !!??

Rio: I am taking control of this ship.

Doppo: *gasps* W-what the hell are you doing… Busuji-

Sasara: Listen up! From now on, the three of us will be the captains around here!

Doppo: Eh, I’m a captain too!?

[They change into pirate captain clothes]

Doppo: Uhhh… I’ll have to make friends with all kinds of pirates now that we’re leading a crew of no less than 100 pirates…

Sasara: This is bad… since you had to go back to work and all…

Doppo: I’m probably already fired at this point… I’ve been absent without notice for how many days now…

Sasara: H-hey… when will we be back?

Rio: Soon enough when the time is right.

Sasara: Right, right, so let’s go back already.

Rio: Yes. With this large fleet we can take down Chuoku!

Sasara: HUH??

Doppo: EEEEHHH! T-T-Th-There’s no way!

Rio: If we can do it we should do it. If you guys too are soldiers, then prepare yourselves!

Doppo: I’m not a soldier, I’m a salaryman!

Sasara: (Hey, this is no good… At this rate we will just become the criminals of the century… Fortunately, I can see we are approaching an island… should I just abandon ship and have a swimmingly good escape…) *starts approaching the edge of the boat*

Rio: *stops him* Hey, where do you think you’re going?

Sasara: I-I can do this! *jumps into the water*

[In the cave]

Sasara: *panting* I-it was just a dream… I’m so glad…

Rio: Hm, you woke up, Nurude.

Sasara: M-mornin’...

Rio: Morning. The storm seems to have stopped.

Sasara: Yeah, you’re right! That’s great!

Doppo: *snores*... Ah… *mumble mumble*. The ground is so hard that I am hurting all over.

Sasara: Oh, mornin’!

Doppo: G-good morning… no one’s here to rescue us yet… is there?

Sasara: I don’t think so…

Doppo: Right…

Rio: A lifeboat is just heading over here.

Doppo and Sasara: Huh?

Rio: Judging by the distance, it should already be here in a few minutes.

Doppo: It’s true…

Sasara: It’s coming, isn’t it…

Doppo: (T-this time…)

Sasara: (It better not be a dream…)

Sweet Dreams (Childe) | HCs

Uwaa I'm so sorry for the lack of posts lately, I'm just too tired to get myself to write even if I wanted to ( /m\)

It's currently past midnight, but!! I was really determined to at least push this one through!

Features: Childe x Gender neutral! Reader

TW: Fluff! Just Childe getting all sappy about you

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

✧ He's a huge cuddler in bed, wanting to be as close to you as possible since his duties often prevent him from spending time with you.

✧ He makes sure that he's the one closest to the door out of both of you, so he'd take the hit first and protect you if necessary.

✧ He likes to listen to you ramble about your day, teasing you whenever you admit to doing something embarrassing and booping your nose whenever you'd get huffy at him for it.

✧ He'd kiss you at random times just to get you flustered, woah- hey! It's not his fault that you're cute.

✧ Sometimes he can't fathom how lucky he is to have you and how understanding you are with him. It really means the world to him.

✧ When you fall asleep, he'd stay up for a little longer to admire your beauty, a fuzzy feeling stirs in his chest as he recalls special moments he had with you.

✧ As he shuffles closer, Childe gives you one last gentle kiss on the forehead for the night. He nuzzles his face on your cheek, whispering to not wake you up.

✧ "Sweet dreams, Sweetheart. I love you."

The Library That’s Covered In Dust

DISCLAIMER: This is a fan translation, so 110% accuracy is not guaranteed. However, we did our best to keep it as close to the original as possible without breaking English.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The place that the Survey Corps decided to take shelter from the rain was in an old castle that had a strong structure, regardless.  The echoing sound of rainfall beating against the large windows created a noisy atmosphere.

“No way… What a mountain of treasure!! Those ancient writings… If I could read them that would be nice. What the!? I still can’t decode this!”

That backside of someone who was lively as ever, merrily searching for documents was Hanji’s.

“Oi, Kuso-Megane. Did you let your squad members free to roam the place, leisurely?”

“Ah, Levi? That’s not the case because Moblit is taking care of everyone’s concerns. He’s an excellent and valuable subordinate, isn’t he?”

Without looking back, Hanji searched through the books – various types of ancient documents and picture scrolls, that were in this room which seemed to be a library in the past. She tried to pull a book from a place much higher up than her own height, and staggered.

“Ohhh!!”

“Tch!”

Because mountains of books were caused to fall down, altogether, he barely managed to snatch the neck of her jacket, pulling her out of the way.

“Uwaa… You saved me, Levi. If I was hit by such a large amount of books, it would have been a spot that would make my head strange.”

“Don’t worry. It wouldn’t become any weirder. Honestly, you should pay more attention to your surroundings.”

Hanji corrected her hanging, dislocated goggles. She then brushed the dust off of the book she had taken out.

“This book here, for example… This old castle that exists inside the walls, there are many books and stored supplies written with letters that we can’t read right now. Such historic ruins are dotted in great number inside the walls. Seems like an extinct civilization, doesn’t it?”

“Don’t tell me the extent of your outlook. After all, I know your head is sharp. This is why I tell you that your life is important. If it weren’t for me being here right now and you were hit in a fragile place, the bones of your neck would have been broken.”

“You’re kind.”

Levi felt as though he were annoyed. He even made a face as if to show he was in a bad mood. He hates his own character being expressed with such words.

“You say this on purpose, knowing that I don’t like it.”

“Ah ha ha! Saw right through me, huh?”

Hanji, then, sat of the floor with a thump. She opened a book while lifting her face.

“What sort of business is it, so soon?  You came to see me, didn’t you?”

“Ah. It’s about Eren. He wants permission to roam around this old castle, that as a military, we give the approval for him to come out of the basement.”

“It’s safe. The outer walls here were build using a solid method of construction. Furthermore, in the unlikely event that Eren transforms into a titan and busts through the roof, there are a good number of footholds on the tower for our maneuvering equipment……. Ah, if only I could understand the meanings of these pictures while cramming in the impressions of these books and such…” Hanji said, carelessly.

“Understood. That helps…Also…”

“Yes?”

“Before searching the place, dry the clothes on your body. It’s unseemly that your shirt is showing through.”

He points at the fire in a fireplace which was probably lit by Moblit who was worried about the soaking wet superior officer. Levi glared at her with a look in his eyes as if looking at raw garbage.

“Understood. It would be good if I read over there.”

Levi sighed at the view of Hanji’s back as she slowly moved to position herself before the fireplace, and then he left the room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NOTES: “Raw Garbage” is the literal translation of the word “Namagomi”; nama meaning “raw” and “gomi” meaning “trash”. Interestingly, “nama” can also mean “crude” if used colloquially. I’m not sure if this is the case with “Namagomi”, however given the context, the scenario it’s being used in, it makes me wonder if he meant crude. Yes, I know the ending sounds rude, but ya gotta remember, this is Levi, the guy who's bad at expressing himself. He obviously doesn't look down on her because he was just telling her that her life is important, that he knows she's smart. CHANGES MADE: Apparently because of the way it was worded, 「お見���しか」Hanji was noting that Levi saw through her (not her through him). When glaring at Hanji, it spoke of the expression in his own eyes, not hers. Thanks to a friend for pointing these out!

Adding On An Explanation For Spiced Curry!

Evening

Its Ishida Ayumi

There was another upload!

here

somehow!

I made spiced curry!!!

Kyaa--!

what a self-desired project!!!←

But, this video wouldn't have been viable with just me, really,

we did it together

With Fukumura Mizuki-san and, Morito Chisaki-chan

it was fun doing it together with the 2 of them!!

I certainly said that I wanted to do it...

Fukumura-san too, said that she wanted to see something like this <3

Also Chii-chan too, was limited (?) to wanting to eat it <3 lol

those that can guess when this was recorded, I think that you'll understand in somehow but,

everyone was noisy......

this is fun...is what I ended up thinking

Calming down,

I want to do something like...... calling on Kaedy who can't cook, tell her to please make "nikujaga" without a recipe!

since its like.....Nonaka also doesn't really cook, she may be in the same kind of trouble! lol

Yokoyan is unconditionally funny, right, like it deliberately not being tasty...... Uwaa, she would come up with something fun

If you call on Maria she would give you a lot of compliments, its easy but, I want to make homemade potato chips with her

Maa-chan is...... I'm scared but...she's an unknown variable...seems like it'd be interesting......lol

Since Kitagawa cooks! If we worked together sharing our knowledge, we could create something original and delicious! It'd be something wonderful,

Conversely I want Akanechin to make me something, she's good at cheese stuffed hamburg steak

Since Ikuta-san is also good at cooking, we've already established that!

If it was for Homa-chan I'd end up doing my best even further← Ah but, I also feel like I want to watch over Homa-chan doing her best, like that! Everyone would want to see that! lol

Also if I cook with Oda, she would add mysterious trivia to the ingredients and seasonings, I dunno...my own position...seems like it'd be like that←

Also,

Mei-chan's blog

is she already my next student(?)~ <3

since her blog is so cute, actually comparing the spices, I'd like you to read through it all

......what loose plans......but its absolutely cute......

Its just cooking but like this <3

its fun to think about it, It'd be fun if these could be realized---

this is kind of a good photo

this is...spice curry in my own style,

I like going out to eat, but, since its exciting to be like, I'll make it on my own...!,

For the pros, there are various areas that can't be reached

Thats why the restaurants are delicious......

devoting research to it......

although! since I like it, I'm doing my best!

Still, what spices should be put into it...

I don't quite understand that changes Well, it feels like, I gotta put this in...

I haven't made something that wasn't delicious

its not like it'd be better if there was more of a variety of spices, you can make it delicious without a lot! Therefore I like the deeper parts of it...! I've been searching a lot into it, its all difficult...!

therefore!

lets try making spiced curry! if you're thinking that,

Apart from wondering what should be used......

its ok to not do that

Coriander (powder) Cumin (powder) Chili pepper (powder) Tumeric (powder)

its said that those are the basics,

But the addition that I recommend is,

Cumin seed!

with the spice from the seed itself, when you stir fry it the scent is really good <3

I love adding it into stiry fry!

just adding it to stir fried green onion and egg, the flavor gets absorbed into it!

I'll make it the same way~ its like the same as the spice but,

For me, I'll add quite a bit of it......

I'm sorry......

Everyone should make it too! it wasn't included in the video......←

After that 3 people ate it, there was a pretty good amount left over!

for 4~5 people...nah probably 6 people......

that much!

Of course the staff at the leftovers, and I put it in tupperware and took it home~ lol

Also, its fine if you use less coconut milk

If you're thinking about making it definitely do it... by the way its also fine to use milk or yogurt

continuing with #utakataexercise,

I've been talking extensively on my blog

I'm worried about adding more,

if you've read up until this point thank you very much

definitely with time at home, I'd be happy if you tried making it together I think!

[Event Story] Holiday Party (Epilogue ①)

You might want to read my note and about first ^^

-Restaurant-

Kaoru

…………

(I don’t hate liveliness, but I want to take a breath of outside air~?)

(Everyone are focused on talking and eating too, surely no one would realize if I slip out alone)

(I’ve thought this since before, but [Ryuseitai] is really lively and full of energy~)

(Wan-chan and co also lured by it and high in tension. It’s not like the guest is seeing this, though……)

(Looking at them frolicking to such extent makes one want to move their body too – that kind of feeling?[1])

…… The night breeze feels nice

“You’re right”…… eh, Anzu-chan? Are you perhaps want to take a breath of outside air too?

Is that so, come here♪ You’re not a bother at all, if it Anzu-chan, I will give you warm welcome♪

Nn~…… I’m not doing anything particular and just immersed in thought

Anzu-chan al~ways look busy, I’m sure you’re rarely being absentminded

You’re even keep us company today, good work~☆

Yeah, it’s works though. You’re helping [SS], there’re also shooting for another [unit]

Even though you can leave it to the staff on the site, no matter what the job, Anzu-chan would carry through until the end

I respect that part of you. Ahaha, even though I’m older, that’s how you use the word respect, isn’t it?

Nn? The me who is working hard at job can be respected, you said?

Then, how is my work today? Perfect score? Ahaha, thanks~♪

It makes me happier than any word of praise. A, it’s not because you’re a girl

Off course, being said “today live is fantastic!” by girls makes me happy, though

Anzu-chan is [producer], right?

Because for idol, to be praised by [producer] means to be acknowledged

A~…… I still haven’t decided what to do after graduation. Whether I continue being an idol or normally enter a university

If you’re a child of Hakaze-san’s house, entering a university is number one priority, though if you ask me whether I can live like my brother or sister, I will immediately answer no

For idol activities too, it’s the same. Well, there’s still time so I guess I can decide it slowly at leisure.

Even if the tears won’t come out, it’s no use struggling, good tears will come out if you wait. It’ll be fine as long as you don’t misread that time.[2]

Ahaha, I’m only talking about myself, sorry~

Even though I can be alone with Anzu-chan, we’re having this gloomy talk, I wonder if my intuition has grown dull?

You’re asking me what I mean by “intuition”? Uhm, it’s about a talk that will let girls have fun. Surely after saying as far as that, you understand what I mean, right?

Uwaa, you’re staring in puzzlement. Anzu-chan, please don’t get caught by bad onii-san, okay?

For example, someone like me~ You’re saying that you’ve already understand it without me telling you. You’re so harsh, aren’t you?

However, too bad. If you understand, you won’t do such thing as get close to me, right

Before, you would run away the moment you see my face. But now, you would have a chat with me like this……

You won’t escape even if I approach you like this

Friend…… is not the right way to say it, but your heart already tolerates me for a bit

That makes me happy, but I’m a boy and Anzu-chan is a girl. As expected, I wish you have sense of danger

I am relatively hated by boys, so I’m not hurt if they put a distance though

For girls…… Being hated by Anzu-chan is quite hard, I think

You’re wondering why I’m saying these things? Yeah, but. You will understand it sooner than later

…… Being alone with a boy in the late of night, it wouldn’t be strange if something happened

You won’t resist, right? It’s not like this is a reward for doing my job diligently, but there is something I want Anzu-chan to do for me

My request…… You will hear it, won’t you?

 [1] Not quite sure for this one, I think Kaoru means Koga and others influenced by Ryuseitai’s liveliness and also in high spirit?

[2] Also not sure with this, maybe it’s the same with “thinking about it too hard won’t give you the answer” or something like that?

MANKAI ENCORE ! SAKYO FURUICHI STORY PART 3 (END)

*cautious : for deeper understanding, you need to read “Tales of Chivalry : Ginji the Wanderer” and “Yin Yang Midnight” Event Story **This part included “Tales of Chivalry : Ginji the Wanderer” play so YOU BETTER READ THAT EVENT STORY FIRSTHANDLY since I don’t want to put so many notes for explaining those

(Since I’m pretty bad with english, let’s just say it doesn’t contain spoiler much XD)

Kazama : “An honour to meet you. I go by the last name of Kazama, name’s Ginji. I look forward to working with you Izumi : (Kazama and his underling, Kojima, have both been in the care of the Tatsuta group’s head. The story begins right after he was killed..) Ken : Say, Kazama. What should I do? Kazama : Get a hold of yourself, Bon ! *

Ken : ...! Kazama : ...Now that boss is gone you’re the only young one who’s capable of carrying on the Tatsuta group Izumi : (emotion he put in that line... that's a new approach) Ken : ...Is it good for someone like me who has been treated like a young master until now become head Izumi : (accepting Sakyo-san's act, Juza-kun answered by showing Ken's clumsyness) (it gonna become a different performance than before !) Kazama : It's not about doing it or not. You must doing it, bon Mogi : Kh, to think I have to serve a young master like him Ken :  Say, can't you take revenge for my father. There's trouble brewing inside too so I can't make any reckless moves. Please. You're the only one I can rely to Kazama : I've not forgot my gratitude on boss. I swear to protect the Tatsuta group Izumi : (After being asked to take revenge, Kazama started gathering information)

Mogi : What's the meaning of this ! This isn't what you told me ! You said about making me the young head of Kousei group if I hand over Tatsuta Ken

Yokota : Ahh, that I don't think that meat can remain last in Tatsuta group and only a wild dog like you would happy over a mere bone Mogi : You... ! Izumi : (Omi-kun's Yokota villain act too give more fear than his first times...!)

Mogi : Ugh... Ken : Mogi ? Oi, who did this to you !? Mogi : I just got my punishment It's Yokota from Kousei group I heard I can join his group and protect Tatsuta group if I give them your head Ken : Then the one who attacked me is... Mogi : Sorry. Even if you become the head, I want to protect Boss's group... Izumi : (Banri-kun's Mogi too turned better than first performance)

Izumi : (Kazama and Kojima go into Kousei group base. But Kojima fell into trap protecting Kazama-) Kojima : Brother !! Kazama : -- Kojima : kuh-- Kazama : Kojima ! Kojima : ha, ha, Is this enough to repay your favour...? I guess not, huh...

Kazama : Kojima !! Audience A : ugh... Audience B : -- Izumi : (I heard a bit cried from audience... must be Taichi-kun's innocent act touch their hearts)

Izumi : (Kazama proceed to final battle alone) Yokota : Kazama...? You're still alive Kazama : My dragon within me cries every night, you know. It wants to kill and devour bastard like you ! Yokota : ---kuh Izumi : (Eventhough Yokota already cut down, Kazama struggling holding out on his own--)

Kousei group yakuza : You... how dare you to boss...! Hyah !

Kazama : Ugh-- Kousei group yakuza : Uwaa ! Kazama : --kuh Kousei group yakuza : ---ugh, just die...! Izumi : (Azami-kun so amazing...! Anyone wouldn’t think that it's his first time perform this play !)

Ken : ...he's gone Mogi : Hee... it's must be his nature not going inside with you I too must properly see this until the end Ken : What are you talking about, Mogi. If you want to see until the end, I'll have you to pick up Tatsuta group's bone Mogi : Young master... Izumi : (Both of them saw Kazama and Kojima away...the end--)

Autumn troupe : Thank you very much ! Audience A : That's very good...! Audience B : Kazama looks awesome ! Audience C : That's so passionate... Izumi : (Eventhough we used different approach... the play is great success !)

Izumi : Thanks for hard works ! It was really good ! Taichi : I've bit suprised with Sakyo-nii and Juza-san different performance ! Omi : Me too Taichi : And without realized we got hooked on them ! Azami : Like we can't lose to them Omi : That's true. Once again I understand how interesting act is Banri : We show different emotion with different approach, so it's not bad Izumi : Yup, you're right Plus I'm happier that all of you keep pushing your limit to create better performance Juza : Yeah. If someone change his act, his partner should do same Sakyo : It's just like Fushimi said Izumi : Yes ! Doing good acting is just like trial and error, that's why it's interesting While riding this good mood, let's do our best until last day ! Autumn troupe : Yeah !

Sakyo : It ended without any concern Juza : ...'sup. Thank you Sakyo : ...For what ? Juza : Sakyo-san's on first day, until now and different approach on play After accepted it, I feel a new emotion, and because of that I can do better play than ever Sakyo : No... Me too, I accept so many things from you. I'm just returning the favor Juza : That's should be my line Sakyo : But it's nostalgic. There's so many things happened on play before Juza : I'm sorry for that time. I followed you... Sakyo : No, I should be thankful for that It seems you're my mother's "oshi-men" **

Juza : Oshime...? Sakyo : She loved your performance Juza : ...I see. Please give my thanks Sakyo : Ah But to think... "love". I got overwhelmed that time ***

Juza : ...Please stop Sakyo : ... Everyone sleeps so peacefully Juza : You're right Izumi : zzz...zzz Taichi : Um... Can't eat anymore zzz... Azami : ... Sakyo : (love, huh...) ...we both, now know about it more than before Juza : It's good if so

Translator note : Maybe some of you pretty confused about this play, so I suggest to read from theater since it has better way of delivering the stories in order I used “Mogi” not “Motegi” for Banri’s role name (茂木) because I read the play with voices and keep hear Mogi not Motegi... *That line are delivered in really different ways than first play. In first play Sakyo used deep tone while here (I’m very sure) he’s shouting so of course Juza suprised about it (XD) **Oshi-men means favourite men like girls said it to your loved characters (men), this from YinYang Midnight Ep 1 ***Juza said it to Sakyo at first Chivalry ep 8. Scary isn’t Juza said “love”, that show how dire the situations (lol) Sakyo keep pushed himself away from everyone and Juza frustated

My next project will be translating Mankai Manga Sengen that yaycupcakes still not translate !! of course if new Sakyo card appear I prioritizing it first

[kitsunebi-chan]

IDOLISH7′s ninth ichikuji, Ayakashi Kaleidoscope.

This is my first time translate such a long script like this. To be honest I have zero confident on my skill but, better try than regret it later. I love this event too much that I can’t help myself. 

English is not my main language so please feel free to tell me if you find any miss in my grammar. And it’s more that welcome for you to give your critics. Well, happy reading~

(DM me if you want the Indonesian version)

Event Part 1

[???]

‘what a small hands. Momiji, look.’

It was a nostalgic voice, that I heard somewhere long in the past. Just like being woken up by a sight of vivid crimson, and let it continuously smoldering inside my chest. Since that day, I feel like searching for something. Something I have lost, something precious. What is it that I lost, whose voice is it, was everything just a childish dream from my younger self. While still, doesn’t remember a thing…

 [Katanashu’s headquarter. In front of the reception office.]

??? (Sogo) : Hey, paper doll.

Shikigami : ----

???(Sogo) : For someone who come early, this is quite a funny way to do greetings, huh. Does attacking all of sudden then push down human into bedridden is some kind of Shikigami’s hospitality? And, why are you stand on my belly? Get down from there, right now. Laying in the hallway and watching the ceiling is not my hobby at all.

Shikigami :-----

???(Sogo) : Oi, Are you hear me? Who is the person in charge here? I have waited long enough, but there is no one come to get me.

Shikigami  -----

???(Sogo) : …. No reply….. could it be, it can’t understand my word? I think it can’t be helped then.

*-----sound of opening door*

???(Yamato) : Oh my, What are you doing laying here in the middle of hallway? Were you playing with the Shikigami? What’s more, with that look like you will draw you sword at any moment despite having such beautiful face, what dangerous combination.

???(Sogo) : A person...? Where did he….

???(Yamato) : I entered just now. From that big gate near the hallway. Did you too absorbed into your game with the Shikigami that make you lost your surrounding?

???(Sogo) : This situation is unavoiable. Because nobody seemed to come for me no matter how long I’m waiting at the reception office.

???(Yamato) :  Hmm…And then, you want to search for someone and go to the hallway but ended up in this kind of situation, huh. Do not miss any suspicious person who roaming at the office, as expected of our excellent Shikigami!

???(Sogo) : Suspicious person…? I properly carry on my duty, from imperial capital…

???(Yamato) : Hm… It just getting more fishy. You suspicious people always say the same thing.

???(Sogo) :………From the uniform and sword that attached on my waist, you can tell that I’m part of Katanashu’s group too. I don’t want to say this on our first meeting but please stop smirking when you looking at me. It’s unpleasant.

???(Yamato) : Ahah, what a scary face. Relax for a bit, will ya? Even though you are now laying upside down just like a frog that was about to dissected, quite a bossy fellow, aren’t you. I’m sorry ‘kay. Looking down at someone’s face from above was lot of fun that I cannot help myself.

???(Sogo) : You are not very popular, don’t you?

???(Yamato) : To suddenly put it like that, you are really not cute.

???(Sogo) : It’s enough. More than this will just waste of time. I will deal with this myself.

*---Klak*  (door open)

???(Nagi) : Aaaa… Wait a minute! Stop! Stop!

???(Sogo) : There is another one….

???(Nagi) : ---Captain Kasane, stop teasing him, would you please dispel the shikigami now?

Kasane ; Oh, Madoka, you came?

Madoka : I was behind you this entire time. So troublesom-…I mean, as a subordinate, at least I refrained from saying that it would be a good idea. Anyway, he is the new member who had just arrived today, isn’t he? There were talks about him will come to our second corps, right. Look at his uniform.

Kasane : Aa-… right, right, there were talks like that, I’m completely forgot.  

Madoka : even though you were the one who told me about it yesterday.

Kasane : Sorry, I just cannot remember something I don’t care with.

???(Sogo) : The second corps captain? That’s mean this man is my superior….

Kasane : --Oi.

???(Sogo) : …! The Shikigami….

Kasane : I have dispelled the shikigami, with this you can move again, right? So hurry, get up from there. Or do you want to say you need a hand to help you up now?

???(Sogo) : …….. No need. I can stand up myself. Sorry for showed you this unpleasant sight.

Madoka : Uwaa… even though a while ago he was pressed under the shikigami and turned upside down, he stand up like it was nothing.

???(Sogo) : I’m really sorry for my insolent behavior earlier. You are the second corps captain, right?  Here, my enlistment letter.

Kasane : Oh, thanks. Till your way to bow is so polite, showing such respectful attitude is more than enough.

Madoka : Uwaa… he look like a serious-type.

???(Sogo) : I the one who will assignment here from today. Katanashu’s second corps affiliation, Momiji.

Kasane : Ng? Momiji? So your name that written on the enlistment letter here is not read as ‘Kaede’ but ‘Momiji’ instead? Isn’t the way to read it a bit off?

Momiji : I wish for it myself. Because I heard when you assigned as a swordsman, you will work under a given name.  

Madoka : Beside being a serious-type, you are also a weird one……usually, the upper ups will decided for the member’s name by taking one character from their real name. Because there may be a chance for youkai* to steal your mana* if you keep your real name. It also said if you got your name stolen, your enemy can take control on you.  

Momiji ; Actually, it is still took after my name. I just change the way it read.

Kasane ;  Hmmn… you have some nice hobby there.

Momiji : …..

Kasane :  Well, nevermind. I’m Kasane. The second corps captain. I’m the boss of myself. The man with pointed nose over there is Madoka. He is our most reliable man, the shining ace. Your rank both are the same, so please get along.

Madoka : ….Thank you.

Momiji : Nice to meet you.

Kasane : Well, then. Since we finished greeting each other, it is okay for me go now, right? I will leave the task to guide the newcomer in your hand okay, ace.

Madoka : …huh?! But my duty hours will end this afternoon…

Kasane : That is a good news! That’s mean you still have some time.

Madoka : No, no, no, I really just have a little…

Kasane ; Okay, I’m counting on you Madoka~ Everything include our facilities, mission, till the meaning of become a swordsman, make sure to give him all the lecture perfectly ‘kay~

Madoka : Wa-…, captain!

Kasane ; Aa…,so busy, so busy~

*krieekkk.....blam*

Madoka ; He really gone…I’m sure it’s just an excuses….he always push all the job on me. Moreover, you, please read the mood. Momiji, right? Why you have to come before me off duty.

Momiji ; Isn’t it you own fault? If you guide me right after my arrival, it must be all over now.

Madoka : Uh.. about that… as a newcomer, to talk back at your senior like this, aren’t you being impudent?

Momiji : Even if you are the senior, we have the same rank.

Madoka ; Uwa… you are really not cute. But you really must have that kind boldness to be able to speak like that, either way you can’t do it with the fellow swordsman. *sigh*…. It’s troublesome but, since this is a superior’s order then is nothing I can do about it. I will guide you now so follow me.

Momiji ; okay…

Madoka ; We will start from the imperial capital. Since you are send to this neighborhood as a swordsman, I think you already understand about it but, as you see this place is no longer a human’s world.

Momiji : …hmm.

Madoka ; Actually, the existence of human’s world and youkai’s world are  like a bunch of mirrors that overlap one to another. To put it simply, you can say this quarter as their ‘entrance’. And, to management all the youkai living here, is the mission that has entrusted to us, the swordsman. Behind this gate is what we called Katanashu’s inner citadel. Then, I will start from the explanation of our facilities here.

Momiji : Behind this….

*krieekkk....**sfx :opening door*

Madoka ; Welcome, newcomer-kun. To the place where no human lives, to the city of light and shadow—

 ***Naration

In the past, in place that was governed by samurais, there were they that performed a mysterious power. There was he whose body covered in flame, there was one that destroy a village in shape of wind, or a god who swallow a mountain like hand of water. Beast, monster--- again those are named as youkai. They are feared, despised, respected, used, and worshiped by humans. However, together with those who leave the land of samurai, they choose to hide themselves in land of immortal on the other side of mirror, as they entrusted the ‘Gate of Daimon’ to connect with people between two world.

And now, as the time passed, it will be told in the present days, about a story that may have existed, the story from Hinomoto’s land.

Notes: Also this is a very short portion, but the next one should take longer to translate - but its a hefty 30 pages. Lol. So, anyway...

Atsushi was walking on the cobbled street alone.

After completing preparations at the hotel, and after a quick meeting about future plans, Kunikida instructed Atsushi to go and meet the Captain. Kunikida will come afterwards. 

For whatever reason, someone had made a procedure error in the accomodation and Tanizaki and his sister, Naomi, were given the same room.

"This is no good at all," Kunikida then ran to correct the procedure error with his face changing colors.

Atsushi looked around restlessly at his surroundings. Everything that caught his eyes seemed new. The stucco houses with a slate blowing roof, the stone gargoyle statues standing still while gazing at the sky, the white libraries with elaborate eaves were not part of the land he was born and raised. Only in books, would he be able to see the scenery of London from old photographs.

I really seem to be in a new country, Atsushi thought. He had no experience of overseas travel, so that was why the ship was, in a sense, his first foreign experience.

Atsushi almost felt like he was in a fairy tale. 

In a backalley, there is a fairy, there is a king and queen in a castle, and there's Jack the Ripper sharpening his knife with a creepy smile in the dark underground. He breathed in, the fantastical vision spreading even to his lungs. Then when Atsushi looked down at the scenery, he heard a loud voice.

"Run away, follow me!"

Quietly, a loud and noisy voice reached Atsushi's ears. Busy adults were rushing through. What are they fussing about? Atsushi stretched his neck.

"Call the police squad!" "Did you see the face?!" "Quiet about the stolen goods!" Atsushi responded swiftly to the word "stolen."

There was an uproar in the southeat. Something was stolen.

--- The request was to catch a theif on the island.

Kunikida's speech came back to him.

Atsushi ran almost reflexively.

The noise seemed to be taking place in the cargo area near the harbor.　It was an area that carried in luggage, different from the passage Atsushi and the others entered from.

There are warehouses made of bricks. Several men in blue uniforms who seemed to be officials on the island were running away in the stone wall alleys of London.

"Hey, you. Have you seen a tall man with black hair around here?"

Suddenly, one of the officials spoke to him, Atsushi widened his eyes in alarm.

"Eh...ah, no, I didn't see anyone..." He finally answered.

"If you see them, please report to the police department!" With that said, the official ran.

"U-UHM!" Atsushi called out to the officer who's back was retreating. "What happened? Was anything stolen?"

"There was an illegal entry!" The staff cried before running away from the alley and becoming invisible.

"Illegal entry?" Atsushi tried to imagine a face in his head. There was an illegal entry in this island...What did that mean? People who did not have permission to enter. But what in the world for?

"Atsushi-kun, hey, Atsushi-kun!"

For a moment, Atsushi looked around his surroundings. The uproar was far away, and there was no one around the vicinity.

"Atsushi-kun. Ufufufu. What are you doing in a place like that? I'm over here, over here!"

This voice...

Atsushi looked for the source of the voice, and suddenly kept an eye on a street corner.

There was an zinc garbage can. It was painted in an inconspicuous gray so as not to stand out in the English city landscape.

The garbage can must have been near the height of Atsushi's waist. It also was sealed by a tin cover.

The garbage can was shaking and rattling. Bewildered, Atsushi approached it.  Placing a hand on the lid, he dared to open it.

"Baa!" "Uwaa!"

Surprised, Atsushi fell on his butt while still holding onto the lid.

Dazai was within the garbage can.

Disheveled hair and a sand-colored coat. White bandages wrapped around a neck. An unreadable face laced with a smile.

"How unusual for us to meet at a place like this?"

"W-..... What are you doing in there, Dazai-san!" Atsushi shouted. Kunikida had explained that Dazai was supposed to have been at the gathering place. 

...Could it be...

"Hey, you. Have you seen a tall man with black hair around here?"

"Dazai-san, are you....the illegal entrant?"

"That's great, Atsushi-kun. Just like a detective's reasoning. It's so pleasing to have one's subordinate grow up so fast."

Dazai laughs happily. As for Atsushi, he was not able to understand half of anything Dazai was talking about.

Dazai is his senior and the first person to admit him into the detective agency. To Atsushi, he is a senior, a superior, and a benefactor who had saved him. He is all of those things, but...

"Ahh, I was so successful with entering, but I was found out by the staff on the way, so I hid in the garbage can to escape the trouble. Since I didn't have time to take out any of the trash, my body is so smelly, right now. However, there's a wonderful feeling to being a part of meaningless trash, I wonder if I should live here.

No other words came out from Atsushi other than "Ha......"

The ADA can never read Dazai's actions. At work, Dazai often collaborated with Kunikida and the others, and every time he has a stomachache. Even so, the cases involving Dazai are always solved in an ideal way for some reason. And each and every time Atsushi watches him, wondering how in the world Dazai is going to tie up the next case.

"But Dazai-san, even if you do not have trouble entering the island illegally, shouldn't you have just ridden the same boat as us?"

"There are three answers to that question," Dazai wagged his finger. "First of all, I wanted to see what goes behind the scenes around here since this is a strange island. Secondly, Kunikida has recently got too used to my behavior and his reactions have become too normal, so I am aiming to surprise him! And lastly, it's still in the midst of progress, but there's another order we've received regarding the method of smuggling inside this island."

"Ha....Another order...is Dazai-san's work different from the thief extermination?"

"The thief extermination is only a part of the danger occuring on this island," Dazai's said with his smile suddenly disappearing.

Atsushi felt the surrounding temperature drop to several degrees just from that.

"A....danger..." Atsushi somehow squeezed out of his throat.

"That's right. ........Please report to me if you see a man with a camera hanging from his neck, he wears a black suit and carries an attache case. Oh, and you better not try to capture them, they're a very dangerous person. If you make one wrong move, you could blow up Yokohama."

"Huh...?"

Suddenly, Atsushi felt dizzy and furrowed his brows. Yokohama might blow up? "What does that mean....?"

"I'm still in the middle of investigating further details. But, for now, you guys will have to concentrate on exterminating the thieves because if that's not done, then I cannot continue from here. Also, would you please take the lid for a moment?" Dazai's smile returned as he pointed at the lid at Atsushi's feet. It's the lid that belonged to the garbage can that Dazai was in. Atsushi handed it over, puzzled. 

"Thank you," Dazai said when he received it. "Oh, I almost forgot to mention, I knew before arriving here that there would be Port Mafia members on the island. Up until now, I didn't know who, but you better be careful."

"The Port Mafia...?"

Atsushi frowned. He had no good memories of the Port Mafia. It is an unlawful organization that takes residence in Yokohama.And it is tied with the Detective Agency of whom has had conflict with many times.

"Don't make such a scary face," Dazai said with a gentle voice. "They will rarely appear in places with many people. Even if something does happen, no one can catch up to Atsushi-kun fleeing!" Dazai smiled kindly. "Now then, I will pray for your success in work!"

Dazai then re-entered the garbage can and closed the lid on himself. With a light voice, the trash can jumped and rolled sideways all the way to the back of the alley and down a slope.

"Bon voyage!!!"

Leaving with an unnecessarily bright voice, Dazai rolled away.

Rolling down the hilly slope, the trash can vanished in due time.

Later, Atsushi was left alone standing still.

"Got used to that person...huh....Kunikida-san is amazing..."

—POEM—

the ultimate example of a pretty boy a pretty boy just like an angel his blonde hair and emerald eyes the color of the bottom of a lake even those beautiful lips only prove to bring out of his strong personality like the sunlight making people want to run together with him making it hard not to notice him

♚ ♚

“… What are you reading, Greta?”

(It sounds like a poem to someone so dearly admired, but—no, wait a second! D-d-don’t tell me—! Is it written by Greta—?! Our precious daughter?! But, but, but! Greta is still an innocent and pure child! No way our daughter would have someone she dearly so admired unless they were Yuuri and I, her beloved fathers, or Mother or that certain magicalist Lady or Gisela or—)

“Who is this person?! A man?!”

“Wolfram? Wolfram, what’s wrong? Why Wolfram’s cheeks turned whiter and then now is turning red so fast? And, and! Why Wolfram’s facing and yelling at the wall of Greta’s Study Room? I-is Wolfram angry … with Greta?”

(Oh, damn ShinOu! What a despicable father I could be! Carelessly scaring Greta—! Get a grip, get a grip, and turn the fire down! Apologize right now!)

“No, I really am sorry. Please forgive me. It’s not my intention to be … angry? I am not angry. Definitely not angry with you, Greta. It is just—I am concerned. Uh, with the poem you have just read …”

“Oooh! This poem? Un! It’s about an angelic pretty boy~!”

“Boy …”

(A boy! Who is this boy?! How dare this boy made an appearance and captured Greta’s attention without me and Yuuri’s notice—? No, no, don’t tell me—is it that Pakiri or Pachiri or Pa-something boy?! With the beautiful singing voice?! I should have known! I should have known that boy couldnot be trusted! Damn him to Seisa! Damn him to Shinzoku! Slimy little boy just like that glasses king of Shou Shimaron! Aaargh! Yuuri! I should tell Yuuri about this dangerous predicament—)

“… and honest and beautiful and touching! And it’s also easy to understand with simple words and lines unlike those books Gyungyun-sensei asks Greta to read relentlessly! As expected from Yuuri~! Despite the written looks a bit sloppy, but Greta really can’t stop reading this diary~!”

(… Huh? What is she talking about?)

“Diary?”

“Un! Yuuri’s Diary!”

“… But the cover is unfamiliar blue with—are those bees and honey stamps?”

“Un! Aren’t they adorable~? There’s also the gold coloured one that Greta would like to read for reading material after this diary and that diary with the cute bear-cub stamp!”

“… So. The poem about that slimy—uh, I mean, the poem? It is not written by Greta?”

“Eeeh~~? Greta is still learning to read, Wolfram!”

(What’s with that defensive tone of voice?)

“… But I believe Greta is able to write either. Your journals for homework are the proof of that certain capability, Greta.”

“Uum, weeell … But not like this beautiful poem of Yuuri’s, though …”

(Uwaa, a blush! A blush! Oh, how cute and humble our daughter is! Just as like her father, Yuuri!)

“… Hm? Wait a second. So, if it’s Yuuri’s, then—”

(Yuuri is writing a poem about a boy—no, no, some other person he dearly admired—)

“…”

“Wolfram?”

“… Huh. Of course.”

“Eh?”

“Yes, yes. I should have guessed sooner. It is definitely about Conrart. This poem.”

“Conrad? But—”

“Say, Greta? Is there another poem? Would you read it for me?”

“Uummm, Wolfram? Greta doesn’t think these poems are about Conrad, but … okay … Here’s the first poem, then.”

♚ ♚

a sonorant alto voice as soon as i look up this beauty enough to make him glow as if he walks around with a halo his dazzling blond hair transparent white skin emerald green irises that remind me of the bottom of a lake it’s an angel one of beautiful mazoku

♚ ♚

“So? How is it? What does Wolfram think? It’s not about Conrad, right?”

“… ‘One of beautiful mazoku’—he said? … Günter?”

“Eeeh~~?! But, but! Blond hair? White skin? Green irises?”

“… If it’s an angel, then … a shinzoku … the foul brother of that slimy Shou Shimaron King's—?!”

“Wolfram, Wolfram! Before getting angry with a scary face, let Greta read the second poem? Please?”

♚ ♚

my twin in stature and physique but angelically handsome if you didn’t know he was mazoku you’d think he was God’s greatest masterpiece glittering gold hair long eyelashes emerald green eyes but that arrogance of his make him sound like a yapping pomeranian

♚ ♚

“… Since when Yuuri has a twin? A mazoku one?! Also, a yapping pom—pomera—”

“Pomeranian. Yuuri said it was a cute, small kind of dog when Greta asked yesterday.”

“A mazoku twin—dog?! W-wha-what does it mean, then?!”

“Wolfram, Wolfram. Yuuri doesn’t have any twins.”

“But the poem said—!”

“It’s a misunderstanding. See? There’s more that Greta wants to continue reading. So, would Wolfram just listen carefully, please?”

“A-alright. Please go on, Greta.”

♚ ♚

the selfish prince with the angelic features and clear emerald eyes that remind you of the bottom of a lake a selfish pu always goes right to the point throws himself into any challege bores into my mitt and my chest kinder and gentler than a lie

♚ ♚

“…”

“A selfish prince~!”

“…”

“Abbreviated: Selfish Pu~!”

“…”

“Wolfram~?”

“Hu-humph! W-why did he need to call me with that useless pet-name? Also, what is with him going on and on about, uh, 'the bottom of a lake’, though?”

“Because the beautiful colour it has always reminds Yuuri of Wolfram’s beautiful emerald green eyes?”

“…”

“Greta thinks it’s so romantic of Yuuri~”

“Ro-romantic—!”

“Un! Isn’t it~? Eh~? Arara! Wolfram’s face turns sooo red! Kyaaa~~! Is it what they called ’blushing’~?”

“—!!”

(Aaakh, Yuuri … ! Yuuri, Yuuri, Yuuri, you henachoko MaOu, you—! Why didn’t you just say these—these things to my face, instead writing these poems secretly! Aaakh, now I’m feeling embarassed and happy and excited in front of our daughter—! Yuuri, this is your fault—!!)

“There are other poems just as so beautiful and honest and heartful and touching like these ones! Please listen, Wolfram! Here’s one of Greta’s most favorites!”

♚ ♚

a rival-less super bishounen like a Vienna choir boy who had jumped straight out of a shoujo manga shiny golden hair emerald green eyes imagined all artist in the world would fight over the chance to paint his portrait if he had appeared in someone’s dream the dreamer might even be moved to tears thinking he had seen an angel

♚ ♚

“Kyaaa~~! Wolfram is so beautiful like an angel that, that, that everyone would cry if Wolfram ever came to their dreams! Aww~! Yuuri honestly thinks that! How sweet! How romantic! Yuuri always thinks lovely about Wolfram! Yuuri loooves Wolfram sooo much! Aww~!”

(… I think, our beloved daughter has spent too many times with dear Mother.)

“… Greta?”

“Yes, Wolfram?”

“Can I borrow this diary of Yuuri’s after Greta finishes reading?”

“Un! Un! Wolfram can read it! Even better, Wolfram can read it now! Greta is just rereading! After all, Greta wants to read the other diary with the bear-cub stamp! Greta wants to read it with Lady Cäli!”

“That’s, uh, alright …”

(That diary with the bear-cub stamp is just full of Yuuri’s shenanigan stories with Conrart and Gurrier. It’s kinda adventurous and funny for Greta to read with Mother. It is not that private. Probably.)

“Thank you, Greta. I will read Yuuri’s poem diary later. Now, shall we go and see Yuuri at the Royal Library? We can take him out of Günter’s lecture to visit the market for an hour. My gut is telling me that Yuuri needs a family time right now. What do you say, Greta?”

“Yaay! To the market! Family time! Greta would love to go with Wolfram and Yuuri! Oh! Oooh! After that, after that! Can we go picnic at Lady Cäli’s Royal Garden, please? Wolfram?”

(Aaah, Greta’s special PUPPY EYES OF DOOM, just as Yuuri once said! How could anyone dare to resist this cuteness?)

“As you wish, Princess Greta.”

“Tehehehe! What a Prince Charming! No wonder Yuuri loves to write secret poems about Wolfram, then~!”

“—!! Y-yes. No wonder …”

(But still … I’ve never wondered Yuuri could write some secret poems about me before now, though …)

♚ ♚

Later at night inside the Royal Chamber …

“Yuuri.”

“Hmm?”

“I want you to just tell me.”

“Huh? What’s with this serious atmosphere all of a sudden … ? Eerm. Okay. What is it, Wolf?”

“… VIENNA CHOIR BOY. Who is he?”

“E-eh? VIENNA CHOIR—wait, how’d you know—where’d you hear about—Had Conrad—”

“And what do you think about my eyes, Yuuri?”

“E-eeh? Your—your eyes?! W-wha-why? Your eyes are—your eyes look—eerm, W-Wolf? Your mouth is closer—nngh, you’re gonna ki—

"Do they remind you of the bottom of a lake? Yuuri …”

“—!! Why? Why're you whispering something on my neck—! Nnnghh—! Wo-Wooolf! I thought, you’re gonna—! Are you gonna—again? A-already?”

“… And do you move to tears whenever I am in your dream, Yuuri?”

“—!!”

“Do you cry?”

“Nggghhh! Aaaah! Wo-Wolfraaaam! Your teeth—! A-and your fingers—! Don’t pinch my—! What—nnngh—are you going to s-start, Wolf—!!”

“Tell me, Yuuri.”

“Nnggh—! Wolf! It's—aaah—too sensitive—!”

“… Yuuri!”

“Hu-huuh? Wha—why’d you sto—I mean, w-what?”

“Am I like a yapping pomeranian to you?”

Part 1 / Part 2

Spring.

A season which many brilliant encounters lay awaiting.

Speaking of which, I too am a mere highschool girl who's excited about starting the highschool life I've been yearning from now on——……

Ran: Ack, it's already this late———!

Sakyo: Honestly. It’ll be busy since it's the entrance ceremony. How many times do I have to tell you that you still have the time to spare……

The one who was currently giving a preaching was the eldest son, big brother Sakyo.

Sakyo: Though I'm naggy and doing a job which I can't plainly tell people about, I'm still a kind and proud brother of yours.

Omi: Morning, Ran. You'll be eating breakfast,right? I made cheese curry toast.

Ran: Thanks! Ittadakimasu.

The one who had prepared for me my favourite curry toast was the calm and brilliant cook, the second son, big brother Omi.

Omi: Haha, you have bed hair sticking out. Stay still for a while.

Omi: …...Alright, it's fixed. Yup, you're cute.

Kazunari: My lovely little sister, Mornin’ piko~ Your super duper cute this morning too!

Kazunari: Uwa, isn't this rather great seeing you in HanaGaku’s uniform! Let's take a memorial shot, why don't we !?

Ran: Whoa! G-Geez! I'm telling you that you're being too close……!

The one who had suddenly hugged my shoulders was big brother Kazunari. Though he's addicted to SNS, they hyped up and brilliant moodmaker of the house.

Omi: Oh, Sakuya-kun has come to pick you up.

Ran: Waa, I have to hurry! Well then, I'll be going!

Omi: Have a safe trip.

Omi: …...She really did grow up to become a beauty just like our mother.

Kazunari: That's true~! I'm a lil’ worried that she might get caught up with the bad insects in HanaGaku!

——A crybaby and selfish. Though she seemed particularly fond of me, the oldest son and had been following behind me all around ever since young.

Around the time she was in kindergarten, she used to say that she'd become “big brother Sakyo's bride” when she grew up.

That very little sister of mine's going to become a high schooler today.

Even though I still think that she's a little kid…...It's just as my little brothers say, she really did mature into a beauty.

The very precious and important person to me.

If anyone with half-baked feelings dares to lay a hand on my precious little sister——

Omi: Haha, his reminiscing as the older brother has started again.

Kazunari: It'll take a long time for him to snap out of it once it starts~

Omi: How about we eat breakfast too.

Kazunari: Right’o!

Ran: Sorry for making you wait!

Sakuya: Not at all, it's fine.

When I got out of the house, my childhood friend older by 2 years who lives next door had been waiting for me.

Sakuya: I'm really glad that I can go to school together with you from now on.

Tsuzuru: Hm? Sakuya, what are you doing?

Sakuya: Oh, brother!

Ran: Big brother Tsuzuru! Morning!

Tsuzuru: ! Could you be Ran-chan?

Tsuzuru: I see, you're entering HanaGaku from this year onwards…...You got prettier during the time I've not seen you.

Big brother Tsuzuru was Sakuya-kun’s older brother. When I was a child, sakuya and I, the three of us would often read picture books together.

Sakuya: Then I'll be leaving, brother!

Ran: I'll be leaving!

Tsuzuru: Yeah, have a safe journey!

Tsuzuru: Oh—darn, if only I could become a high schooler again so that I can go to school together with her.

Muku: Oh, Ran-senpai, Sakuya-senpai! Good morning!

Ran: Muku-kun and Yuki-kun, morning~

Muku: Wow, it's really nice to see you wearing HanaGaku’s uniform……! How cute.

Ran: Really? Thanks.

Yuki: Your ribbon is crooked. Come over here for a while.

Yuki: …...This should be alright. Since it kinda suits you, how about changing the skirt length or something like that?

Ran: But, I don't really know how to do those kind of things…...

Yuki: It can't be helped then. I'll help you fix it next time.

Ran: Really? It's a promise then, thanks!

Yuki: You're rejoicing way too much. Honestly…...I'll make it really cute for you so be prepared.

Muku: How nice, I want to go to HanaGaku for my high school too. If that happens, I can return from school together with you…...

Muku: Besides, HanaGaku also has the rumoured prince there!

Ran: (The rumoured prince……?)

Homare: Morning, freshmens! …...Hey there, you're also a freshmen, right?

Ran: Good morning! Yes, I am.

Ran: I’m sure this person’s the one who was on the entrance pamphlet, the school’s president, Arisugawa Homare-san……!

Homare: We’re giving a poem each to all the new freshmen students.

Homare: Ahh, a gorgeous flower, bright colours, upon the capricious destiny of a chef…...

Homare: The key to my passion, my student……!

Ran: (Uwaa, what a passionate poem……!)

Homare: Yes, you’re making a knowing gaze that says that you understand art. So much that I might want to make you my secretary in the future.

Homare: So you’re called Ran-kun? I’ll call you out again in the near future. Please do enjoy life in HanaGaku!

Ran: Y-Yes……!

Ran: Huh? What’s going on? The party on the other side has suddenly gotten noisy…...

Female Student 1: Kyaa—! Isuke-senpai~!

Female Student 2: Ahh, Isuke-kun’s really cool today as well……!

Ran: (He’s really hansome……! But, why is there a parrot on his shoulder?)

Sakuya: He’s Matsukawa Isuke-kun. He’s this school’s prince and he’s really popular with everyone.

Parrot On Isuke’s Shoulder: !

Ran: Eh? The parrot came over here.

Parrot: Yo, cute missy! Are you a freshmen? Yours truly is Kamekichi, the cheeky idol parrot!

Parrot: How about it. Won’t you go on a date with me after school today? I’ll take you to a really delicious parfait shop!

Ran: Wait, what?

Isuke: …………

Isuke: Oi Kamekichi, are you interested in that chopping board girl?

Ran: (C-Chopping board girl!? He’s the worst! Even though it’s the first time we’ve met, how rude a person are you!?)

Ran: I don’t want to hear that coming from a permy-haired person!

Isuke: ……!

Isuke: Humph…...to be retorting back to me, what an interesting girl.

Isuke: Oi, let’s go Kamekichi.

Kamekichi: Till later, cute missy!

Female Student 3: Is that girl a freshmen……? How dare she retort back to Isuke-sama……

Female Student 4: What’s with that girl……!

Ran: (I instantly retorted back without thinking but the gaze of all those girls on me really stings…...)

Ran: (Uuu, my school life is already overcast by dark clouds this early in……!?)

Sakuya: I-I’ll be fine, Ran-chan! I’ll definitely protect you……!

Ran: Sakuya-kun……!

Sakuya: Ehehe, you can rely on me anytime! Then, how about we go look at our class allotments?

Ah, welcome home. I didn’t just let myself in, I got permission from your mother~ Besides isn’t it fine? We’re childhood friends after all. It’s fine right? 

*closes door, walks over*

(0:30)

I’ve been curious about what happens next in this manga all day. Yesterday I got to a really good part when it became dinner time. Since I would be a bother after dinner your father forbid it. I’m your neighbor so it should be fine right? That aside this is really interesting. I’m glad you showed it to me. 

(0:55)

Eh? You’re lending it to me? Ah...it’s fine after all, if I borrow it I won’t be able to read it in your room. Ah here is fine because this feels more comfortable than my own home. The bed is soft, this pillow too. Reading manga while lying here is the best. For that reason i’ll come over again tomorrow. Please forgive me for at least that much. That’s mine and yours’ relationship.

*Message alert*

(1:28)

Hm? It’s not mine, is it yours? ...Ne, who’s it from? Ah, it’s him. Speaking of which you guys have been close lately. Even in class you talk, earlier as well during lunch break you were talking together all that time right? About movies or something by the looks of it.

(2:02)

*Message alert*

Fast! Hmm...what? could it be you’re going out? It’s not like you have to hide it or anything. Rather i’d hate it if you were hiding it from me. What? I was wrong. Then, perhaps you were confessed to? As I thought. Well this has nothing to do with me though.

(2:39)

I remembered I have something I need to do so i’m going home. Sorry for intruding *walks* ...I lied, it actually does have something to do with me. 

(3:00)

Because I like you too. So to pretend it has nothing to do with me is impossible. There’s no way I would joke at a time like this right? I’m serious. I hadn’t planned to tell you this today at all but, I like you. Not as a childhood friend but as a woman. 

(3:32)

Of course our relationship now is fun. Like having family, or spending the whole day just reading manga in your room. I thought about how it would be fine if things stayed like this but, for you to have someone you cherish more than me I don’t like it after all. 

(3:55)

You, do you think of me as anything other than just a childhood friend? By hesitating could it be there’s a chance? Then I won’t hold back anymore. 

(4:17)

I love you. I promise i’ll make you the happiest in the world. So please, go out with me. No? Ok...Ha *hugs* Thank you! Then, from now you’re my childhood friend and girlfriend. Please take care of me*

(4:55)

Ha yes! I’m really happy. Ne, since we’re going out it’s okay for us to hang out at school together right? When we started middle school, to not draw attention didn’t we stopped hanging out together? The truth is I was a little lonely. But it shouldn’t be a problem if we’re lovers. It’s fine right? Then like old times at 8am in front of our houses. *laughs* Damn, i’m really looking forward to it. I’m glad I confessed to you so boldly. I love you. I’ll cherish you lots and lots. 

Track 2 - Jealousy

*knock*

*open door*

Zzz.....Zzzz....*hit* 5 more minutes....ah....it’s fine just a little longer....ah? It’s you huh? Good morning. I understand but i’m tired...*pulls pillow* What are you doing? My pillow..I get it I get it. Then, if you give me a good morning kiss i’ll wake up. 

(1:11)

I’m not half asleep. We’re going out after all so this much is fine right? Come on, mmm *throws pillow* Hold on! Throwing a pillow at me all of a sudden isn’t that cruel? Hold on

*leaves*

 (1:36)

*Running sound*

Ne, wait up! Haa I finally caught up. Leaving me behind isn’t that cruel? I said i’m sorry. Even though we promised I slept in. I apologized, so don’t be mad.I’ll wake up properly tomorrow. Yeah I mean it! I want to go to school with you. I promise. 

(2:11)

Ah, speaking of. My hand, here you hold it too. It’s fine since i’m your boyfriend right? Hm? Ne, could it be you’re shy? Is that so? Your face is bright red though. Hmm? Perhaps it’s my imagination huh. *laughs* Ah, it certainly has been a while. 

(2:58)

When we were kids we’d hold hands everywhere we went though. Eh? You’re wrong it wasn’t me but you who would suddenly run off somewhere so i’d hold your hand. What? You don’t remember? You would get lost and cry “Seth~” That aside at that time our hands were about the same size, but now mine is bigger *laughs* your hand is cute.  

(3:33)

Look, your hand fits completely in mine. Well? I’ve become more grown up right? Huh? This time even your ears are red. You really are shy after all aren’t you? You don’t have to hold back so much but you’re also cute when you're flustered *laughs*

(4:00)

Ne, lets also go home together today too. It’s fine right? Alright then lets go.

(4:16)

*school bell rings*

Haaa it’s finally over. Good work, are you heading home already? I feel kind of hungry lets go somewhere on our way home. Hmmm ah the burger shop I went to before was good. They released something new recently I want to eat that. Yeah I like it, because there’s a lot of delicious things there. Ah just thinking about it is making me even hungrier. Lets hurry up and go!

(5:06)

Sorry for the wait. I’ve brought our orders. Heh heh this this, this is what I wanted to eat. It looks delicious! Eh? Ah it’s fine, it’s a treat from your boyfriend. It’s fine it’s fine come on hurry up and eat. Lets eat!

(5:40)

*eats*  Mmm delicious! This is a hit isn’t it. *drinks* The milkshake is also delicious! Hm? Ah this milkshake isn’t new but lately i’ve been really in to it. Do you want to drink too? You can drink this too if you want. Are you sure? It’s delicious though. Hm? Ah no it’s because my friend’s here, look at the seat over there. 

(6:19)

No it’s fine since I went to the trouble to be with you I won’t. Ah, crap it seems like they’ve noticed. Uwaa they’re grinning like crazy. Sorry looks like I will go and see them for a bit. Wait for a bit.

(6:42)

*walks over*

Then i’ll be going because my girlfriend’s waiting for me. Don’t disturb us.

*walks back over*

Sorry I was a while. They wouldn’t stop talking at all *sits down* Hm? Rather than being close, well it’s fun to talk to them. We’ve hung out before. But even so most of our classes are different so perhaps you don’t know them. There were also a lot of girls from another school. Ah do you know that uniform? Besides that person they’re all from a different school. They said it’s from a close by girls school I think. By the looks of it they like manga. We talked quite a lot. That’s right, the person who told me about this milkshake was that person

(7:41)

That time I came here they said it was delicious and told me to try a sip. That’s when I got into this. What’s wrong? Hmm? If it’s nothing then fine. Ah that’s right, on the way home can we stop by the book store? Earlier I heard from that person the new book’s out. They said they would spoil it for me isn’t that mean? That’s why I want to hurry and read it

(8:18)

I got to eat the new burger, I bought the new book. I’m completely satisfied! Speaking of which are you fine not buying it? The other day you said you wanted it. Hm? Ne, are you listening? Uwaaa watch out! Are you okay? Haa i’m relieved. Sorry, did I surprise you that much? But you were also spacing out too much. You weren’t listening to what I was saying at all. I’m fine but be careful not to fall again. 

(9:12)

Hm? What? You just wanted to call out to me? Strange. Ah, it’s already this time. It’s a little late isn’t it. So your mother won’t get angry at you, you can just say you were with me. You’re not listening again. You’ve been acting strange since earlier. Could it be you’re not feeling well? Really? Well whatever. Ah, ne can I come to your room today too? I’ll also lend you the manga I bought today. Eh? No? Why? Ah well there’s that to do.This isn’t the time to be reading manga huh. Then lets do it together- Eh? Ah, oh later. 

*closes door*

Track 3 - True Feelings

*phone rings*

Ah, hello? It’s me. You’re in your room right now aren’t you? I can see the lights on in your room. Could you come to to the window for a bit? It’s fine, hurry. 

(0:20)

Yaho! For the first time this evening. Ah hold on, hey can I come over there? I just want to talk a little then i’ll go back. It’s fine it’s fine if I fell from a roof this high up I wouldn’t die. Being neighbors seriously comes in handy. Excuse the intrusion.

(0:59)

What you ask? As I thought you’re mad aren’t you? That’s also why you’ve been acting weird isn’t it? No you’re angry. As if there’s such a thing. It’s bad to cover it up. You, when you’re angry you go silent. 

(1:25)

You’ve been like that since a long time ago so I know. Ne, why? Did I do something? If I did then tell me. I’m begging you please. Being ignored by you is hard. Say it. 

(1:50)

Eh? Milkshake? Ah it’s true that person giving me a sip was an indirect kiss...eh? Could it be you were jealous? That’s why you’re angry. Because I did that with that girl? I see, you were jealous. *laughs* What should I do, i’m grinning but i’m sorry I hurt you. I’m sorry but i’m really happy after all 

(2:45)

Ne, do you not like it when i’m friendly with other women? Do you feel like you don’t want me to be taken away by someone else? Then that means you see me as a man right? 

(3:05)

Ne, that’s how it is isn’t it? Please tell me. Right now am I making your heart race? I’m glad. But, that’s not enough. I want to make you mine even more. I want to make your heart race even more. 

(3:40)

Do things a simple childhood friend wouldn’t do. Can I? No? If that isn’t a no then close your eyes. *kiss* Damn this is really embarrassing. But i’m happy. I love you. Oh...that’s the first time you said that to me. With that doesn’t it feel like we’ve become lovers?

(4:40)

Your ears are red.You’re really cute right now. If you make such a face it makes me want to do various things to you but, I don’t want to be hated so i’ll hold back. The truth is I really want to though. I won’t do anything to hurt you ever again, I won’t become friendly with other girls either, I won’t hang out with them. I absolutely won’t do indirect kisses either. So you too, only look at me. Ne? It’s a promise. I’ll cherish you *kiss* 

Track 4 - False Happiness

Uwaa so cold! It’s almost spring you’ve got to be kidding me! You’re lightly dress though are you okay? Right even though your cheeks are a little red. Here, give me your hand. Hmm? Are you embarrassed again? Holding hands, you should be used to at least this much by now. 

(0:36)

Hmmm I have to hold you tighter. If I don’t you won’t get used to it will you. In that case squeeze! *laughs* Ne, it’s off topic but are you free the next day? Then how about we go somewhere. Look didn’t you say you wanted to go to ‘Land’ before? But just a day seems like such a shame. If we’re to go then we should stay over. If we stay at a nearby hotel then we can play all the way to our room. We can also take our time watching the parade. Right now is the limited Winter special, you want to see it right? 

(1:19)

Look if we don’t go now it’ll be over. Ah, I already got permission from your mother, your father also said it’s good. It’s the truth, just bring back souvenirs they said. *laughs* then if you nod your head it’s okay. Ne, shall we go together? Yes! Then it’s decided. We’ll drop by our room and change. I’ll definitely show you a good time so look forward to it. 

(2:09)

Go ahead. Haa i’m tired! *jumps on bed* Haa it’s so soft. We walked quite a lot. You come over here too it’s really comfy.*laughs* you’re tired too right? But, what? Yeah I had a lot of fun too. Hmm? Ahh the parade was good too. It’s was a good idea to go early and find a good spot since you were looking forward to it the most.

(3:04)

I wanted you to make good memories no matter what. I’m glad you were pleased with it. Ah you’re welcome *laughs* what a nice face, really. That aside you’re really cute right now. Well, you’re always cute but, *kiss* ne, can I say something selfish? I want you to kiss me. That’s because it’s always from me. If you were to do it every now and then i’d be really happy. *laughs* You, your eyes look far too suspicious. I got it, it’s embarrassing right? Ah geez you really are cute. It’s fine, i’ll give up for today. But you absolutely have to do it next time. Like how I always do it *kiss* *laughs* even if it’s from me you’re quite shy ne? That face, I really like it. 

(4:29)

We’ve been together since we were kids and yet I still come to love you this much. Even when we started going out I came to love you everyday *kiss* I love you *kiss* Hm? What? Yeah lets be together always, from here on, always.

(5:15)

It should be another 15 minutes. It feels like we just came here and we’re already heading back doesn’t it? Hm? That’s the second time, me too, thank you for coming with me. It was really fun. It’s the happiest i’ve been up until now. I’ve gone on many trips with you and your family but this time was definitely special. I definitely won’t forget about this. Lets definitely go again, the two of us- 

(6:00)

*crash*

(6:33)

Are....you...okay? Are....you...hurt anywhere? I’m glad. I don’t know but i’m probably- No it’s probably just a graze but i’m fine it’s nothing. It’s nothing serious. Thanks to this you weren’t hurt. Calm down, i’ll be okay....so...your hand give it here. There’s no way i’d die. I promised i’d make you the happiest in the world right...

*Passes out*

*Shake him*

*Wings appear*

(8:00)

Sorry. I...don’t go killing me off as you please. I was just resting a little, i’m alive. Ouch *laughs* It hurts. Did you think i’d died? Stupid, I told you didn’t I, I wouldn’t die. I wouldn’t do something like leave you alone.

*Ambulance siren*

(8:57)

Yeah it’s over. I’ve been here obediently since the ambulance brought me here. Did you get looked at properly too? Are you injured? I’m glad. I’m completely fine too. Besides those in the worst of it were brought to the hospital earlier right?  Every one looks unscathed besides me by the looks of it. They said it was a miracle. Eh? Just because I was bleeding that much, it was just a little cut on my back. Even if you say i’m lying, I felt it was just a graze though. You were also quite confused at the time perhaps you were mistaken?

(9:54)

Hm? Eh? Wings? You! Could it be you can see? No, you can see them!? Why!? Why can you see them!? Why, why could such a thing...if you can see them then it’s...ah that’s right your memories, if I can make you forget then we might be able to make it in time. 

(10:33)

Sorry, but for your sake...eh? No way...I failed. Why!? I can’t change your fate...dammit! When...when did you feel like you wanted to die? These wings can only be seen by humans that feel like they want to die. By being able to see them that means you also thought so too right!? 

(11:29)

Tell me, when were you able to see my wings!? When you thought I was going to die...so that’s it...that’s right...I was the one who wished for you to love me more than anyone else. If the person you love were to die then you yourself would feel like dying too. 

(12:08)

What? I understand. I can no longer hide it, I have no choice but to tell you everything. Sit down beside me it’s not a conversation that’s easy to comprehend.

(12:33)

You probably won’t be able to comprehend it right away but listen for now. I’m, not human, i’m a fallen angel. These black wings are proof. That’s right when I was born I was an angel but various things happened and I fell to this world. 

(13:08)

Who knows, I can no longer remember how long ago it was. But i’ve been by your side since we met. That’s right, we’ve been together since we were kids. But those aren’t your true memories....All of them, are memories I implanted in you and your family

(13:40)

Like earlier I tried to change your memories but, I couldn’t. I probably cannot change the memories of humans that find out i’m a fallen angel. That’s right the day we met was actually a year ago. All your memories up until then, are fake. I’m sorry.

(14:20)

You’re wrong! Not all of it was a lie! Loving you right now isn’t a lie! In the beginning I simply chose you as someone in this world to love me, as childhood friends if you would give me special treatment that was enough. Even though I used you for my own convenience  and forced it on you I couldn’t draw myself away from you. 

(14:50)

But being friends with you I came to love you. I noticed you had become more important than any other woman. Right now I really do love you. I’m sorry for keeping it from you, but I want you to believe that much at least. There’s no way you could believe me like this right? You’ll think about it...? Well that’s it true. If you were to suddenly hear something like that naturally you’d be confused.

(15:45)

I understand. Until your feelings have settled I won’t meet with you either. Yeah, when you’ve calmed down phone me. I’ll be waiting.

*leaves*

(16:17)

I’m sorry. I kept quiet all this time, I hid it from you. I’m truly sorry. But, I still have something i’m hiding from you. Humans who see these black wings, on the night of the full moon are destined to be killed by that fallen angel. There’s no way I could say that! Even though I love you this much, I have to kill you. Dammit! I don’t want to lie to her anymore but this alone I definitely won’t tell her. I won’t. I want to be the only one with painful memories, that’s enough. 

*flies away*

Track 5 - The Person you Love

Haa no phone call. I even left the house but I have to go to school. To not see each other is difficult.

(0:19)

I haven’t seen their face in days. It’s the full moon huh. In the end I wasn’t able to hear their reply.

*bell rings*

I have to go. This really is impossible after all. I don’t want to go. To kill her, there’s no way I could.

(1:06)

What should I do? *phone rings* Why...now... *picks up* Hello. Ah, it’s been a while. It’s fine what’s wrong? I’m fine, you have something you want to say...have you come to your answer? I see. Ah now...i’m at the tallest building. I’m here right now. Sorry but could you come to the rooftop? I’ll be waiting for you. Yeah, then see you later.

*Hangs up*

(2:23)

I can no longer run, because tonight is the full moon. 

(2:35)

You got here quick. It’s fine. Even though something like that happened, to be in contact it can’t be helped. Besides, what you wanted to say...*runs over and hugs* Eh? You thought about it. No matter how much you thought about it you didn’t understand...yeah most of it was fake but the memories from the past year were all real. 

(3:30)

There’s no way this is okay! I deceived you! Not to mention i’m a fallen angel. Eh? Even so you’re saying you love me? I see. You love me as a fallen angel. Thank you. For me you’re the thing I cherish the most. From now on I want for us to be together. 

(4:36)

Sorry, i’m fine *laughs* perhaps it’s because i’m happy. To cry how uncool of me. I like you too, I love you. *kiss* I really love you *bell rings*

(5:17)

It looks like it’s about time. Sorry, I have one more thing I have to tell you. Could you listen to what I have to say? In order to bind humans and fallen angels to start with there’s something they have to do. Yeah, fallen angels will sing for that reason. If they sing while thinking of their partner god will grant their wish. Until the two of them die they will be together. 

(6:13)

So, will you listen to my song? That’s right, it’s necessary so I can be by your side always. Ne, close your eyes, it’s a little embarrassing. I’ll put my all into this song for you. Even after this i’ll love you. Always, always. 

-SONG TRACK-

7 - Extra track ~The final Lie~

*cries* ......S....Sorry. I....ended up lying to you until the end. But, I couldn’t bring myself to tell you. That with my song, I had to kill you. 

(0:40)

Even though I liked you this much....even though I loved you this much. Ne, i’m begging you please wake up. It’s fine if no one ever loves me ever again. As long as you’re here, that’s enough. 

(1:08)

So please...open your eyes. *cries* If you’re not here then I want to die and yet, why can’t I die? Why am I....not a human like you? 

(1:40)

*cries*

(t/n: *Track 1 - He uses よろしく which is a little hard to translate in English so I went with “please take care of me”)

Entrevista Dengeki G’s Magazine Traduccion Español: Saito Shuka

-Imagen HD-

Cuando escuche los llamados y respuestas de todos, mi dolor y fatiga desaparecieron completamente!!

Seiyuu Bio: Nacida el 16 de agosto en la Prefectura de Saitama. Su habilidad especial es bailar, la cual ha estado aprendiendo desde 4to grado (primaria). Le gusta la carne Salisbury con queso y papas fritas, pero no entiende el gusto por el yakiniku – es la más joven de Aqours.

[¡Ella interpreto el baile de Honoka en Bokura wa Ima no Naka de, cantando con el mismo espíritu enérgico!]  

-Para empezar, porque no nos hablas sobre tu motivación para ir a la audición de Love Live! Sunshine!! Project?

La primera vez que escuche de Love Live! fue por jugar School Idol Festival. Después de jugar el juego, también comencé a escuchar las canciones... Encontré realmente refrescante como las seiyuus no solo actuaban la voz, pero también tenían que sincronizarse con sus personajes mientras cantaban y bailaban! Era este tipo de encanto el que me atrajo a Love Live. Estaba todavía en secundaria cuando di la audición. En ese momento, no pensaba sobre qué haría si realmente pasara la audición, simplemente pensaba "Quiero participar en un trabajo que Ame!!" con todo mi corazón. Además, he estado aprendiendo todo tipo de estilos baile (especializándome en jazz & hip-hop) desde primaria, así que estoy emocionada de hacer uso de mi experiencia bailando en Love Live!  

-Que fue mas enervante, la audición para Love Live! Sunshine!! o las presentaciones en los escenarios que has hecho como bailarina?

La audición, jajaja. Estaba muy nerviosa... la tensión que sentía era de otro planeta!! Cuando fui al estudio de la audición, habían tantos jueces que, sentía que era abrumador. Pero, ya que esta audición era solo una oportunidad en la vida, decidi que no pensaria en mi miedo de fallar y en cambio centre toda mi atencion en las cosas que sabia que podría lograr. Cuando interprete Bokura wa Ima no Naka de para la audición, baile junto con la coreografía de Honoka-chan para la canción, porque ya me había memorizado todos los pasos de Honoka. Temerariamente deje prender mis sentimientos en mi corazón aún más apasionadamente de lo normal... Cuando ellos me contactaron para decirme que había pasado la audición, estaba tan emocionada que estalle en lágrimas y comencé a llorar muy fuerte. Pasar la audición para el trabajo que me gustaba tanto se sintió como un sueño. No habían palabras que pudieran describir el apasionado sentimiento que estaba brotando de mi corazón... era como un sentimiento de "Que es esto?". Las personas también pueden llorar cuando cosas buenas les pasan, huh.

-Luego de eso, revelamos el reparto en esta revista...

Si, lo recuerdo. Salió como un "bam!" en Junio de 2015 en el Dengeki G's Magazine. Recuerdo ver las palabras "Love Live! Sunshine!! Watanabe You (CV: Saito Shuka)" escritas en la revista. Finalmente me di cuenta de que cual era el tipo de situación en la que estaba!, y mi corazón estaba como “Uwaa!!" por toda la presión, jajaja. Como una miembro de Aqours, pensé sobre que podría hacer, los altos estándares para el canto y el baile, como también si podríamos satisfacer las expectativas de todos nuestros fans... Cuando pensé sobre todo eso, la presión solo parecía aumentar. Pero, la presencia de las otras miembros redujo esta presión nueve veces. Como pensaba, tener nueve miembros es tranquilizador. No tengo ninguna experiencia previa como seiyuu, así que todos me apoyaron mucho cuando grabábamos. Algunas veces, pensé "Estaré atrasando a todos?" mientras me sentía realmente mal. Incluso una vez envié el mensaje "Perdón por lo de hoy..." a todos luego de la práctica. Mas tarde, recibí una respuesta diciendo "De ninguna manera, no es como si fuera culpa de Shukashuu! Solo déjanos mimarte!" Todos eran realmente amables cuando me enseñaban. Por eso es que quiero regresar el favor con mi habilidad de baile de la que estoy tan orgullosa.

[Un amargo error en el baile del que ella estaba tan orgullosa!! En orden de perfeccionar su coreografía, ella comenzó a practicar mucho mas!]

-Fueron todas las seiyuus amigables unas con otras desde el comienzo?

Cuando las nueve de nosotras nos conocimos por primera vez en un cuarto de conferencia de Lantis, era imposible no estar nerviosa. Creo que los primeros lazos mutuos nacieron durante nuestro campamento de entrenamiento de cuatro días y tres noches. El menú del campamento era un curso intensivo de baile con grabaciones y entrenamiento de voz durante los descansos. Pude ver un lado nuevo de las otras miembros, como también cocinar y comer con ellas. Ese tipo de interacciones fueron muy apreciadas para mí. Fui feliz cuando logre conversar libremente con todas durante los descansos ♪ Todavía no puedo olvidar el momento cuando descubrimos cuanto había mejorado nuestro baile por los entrenamientos. Fue durante el tercer día de nuestro campamento de entrenamiento. Hasta entonces, nunca habíamos practicado nuestra coreografía sin un espejo. Sin embargo, repentinamente tuvimos que bailar sin uno. Cuando bailas sin un espejo, no puedes ver cómo la gente alrededor tuyo se está moviendo. Si alguna de nosotras no pone atención o falla en comprender el espacio de alguien más, definitivamente hubiéramos chocado unas con otras. Resulta que, nada de eso paso cuando intentamos bailar sin un espejo! Estaba sorprendida de que hubiésemos sido capaces de volvernos un grupo tan coordinado en un periodo tan corto de tiempo. Tuve una sensación de que mientras la cantidad de practica se amontonara lentamente, nos convertiríamos en algo increíble, no? Ya sea por los lazos que habíamos establecido, o porque todas estábamos juntas. Estoy agradecida de que el campamento de entrenamiento fue capaz de unir los espíritus de todas como uno "guwaa!"

-Bueno, entonces, recordando las actividades del año pasado, Cual fue su recuerdo favorito. Saito-san?

Lo que mas me hizo feliz fue cuando You-chan quedo primera en las votaciones de nuestro 2do single ♪ De primera estaba como "Ehh? En Serio!?" y no lo podía sentir mucho, pero luego me di cuenta "You-chan será la siguiente centro... " y mi corazón fue todo hnnngh. Este, sin dudas, debe ser el recuerdo más feliz del año pasado. Mi siguiente momento más feliz fue durante nuestro evento el 11 de Enero, limitado a nuestros fans quienes habían comprado nuestro 1er single - la primera vez que todas, las 9 de nosotras, cantamos y bailamos juntas al frente de nuestros fans. Mientras estábamos en el escenario, estaba sorprendida de que todos los llamados y respuestas llegaban volando a nosotras, pensaba "Ni siquiera ha pasado un año desde que debutamos, y todos ya estaban dispuestos a hacer nuestras llamadas y respuestas con nosotras?" Ya sabes, cuando te tropiezas y caes cuando niño, la gente cantaría "Dolor, dolor, vete~" para hacerte sentir mejor? Fue justo como eso - cuando escuche las llamadas y respuestas de todos, mi dolor y fatiga desaparecieron completamente!! Esto me hizo darme cuenta cuán importante era la voz de nuestros fans para nosotras... ellos tocaron nuestros corazones más que cualquier otra cosa. Así que permítanme corregir lo que dije antes -  el momento en que escuche las voces de todos nuestros fans fue cuando me sentí más feliz el año pasado. Desde el escenario, vi muchas sonrisas en la multitud. Luego de eso, tome una foto con mis ojos para que esa imagen de todos sonriendo estuviera permanentemente grabada en mi corazón. Realmente me sentí bendecida. Llena de determinación, pensé "Ahh... por el bien de ver esas sonrisas, practicare más y más. Debo ser buena!"

- Por otro lado, ¿cuáles fueron algunas cosas frustrantes para ti?

Durante el evento del 11 de Enero, cometí un error mientras bailábamos. Desde entonces, no he cometido ningún error con las coreografías, así que cuando metí la pata por primera vez estaba como "Wha-!?" Estaba super nerviosa... No podía ni siquiera bailar correctamente, es como si hubiera perdido la única cosa en la que era buena. Pensaba que estaba practicando mucho, pero el hecho de que cometiera un error demuestra que no he estado practicando lo suficiente. Desde es día en adelante, decidí incrementar mi practica de baile- Quiero tener mi revancha en el 1er Live y mostrar a todos nuestros fans un baile del que pueda estar orgullosa.

-Por cierto, ¿tu casa tiene alguna pista de baile grande...?

Nope!! Es solo tu casa normal... Mi propia habitación funciona como una pista de baile jajaja. Para asegurarme que la música no salga fuera de la habitación, me aseguro de cerrar la puerta y la ventana. Se pone muy, muy caluroso dentro de una habitación cerrada! Pero, de alguna manera siento que perdí una batalla si enciendo el ventilador, así que continuare practicando así!!

Aaaah, nunca había hecho una edición + traducción . Y creo que me quedo bien para ser la primera vez, por lo que estoy feliz y satisfecho  (´｡• ω •｡`)

[Translation] My 「Tamaradi」- The only conversation between DJ and writer (4)

The next translation a year later... don’t worry, it won’t take months for the next one again! I’m on a long break now. Masha and his friends talk about crying on broadcasts instead of music in this, it’s quite refreshing.

M: Fukuyama Masaharu

S: Souguchi Akihisa

O: Ohara Shinji

“That one song” in everyone’s hearts (それぞれにとっての「あの１曲」)

— To both Ohara-san and Souguchi-san, are there any songs with self-accompaniment that left an impression on you?

O: Whenever it’s December, Fukuyama-san sings SION’s 12 Gatsu. I didn’t know this song at first, and I only came to know it because Fukuyama-san sang it. Actually, I came to know of many songs because of him. I think the listeners are the same too, they know more songs from Fukuyama-san’s covers on Studio Live Request. When Fukuyama-san sings an unknown song in front of me, I look at the card with the lyrics while listening at the same time, thinking, “Wow, there’s actually such a good song.” Every time I listen to this song in December, I get a more thorough understanding of the feelings depicted in the lyrics. (lol) …this song has left an impression in this aspect.

S: I’ve mentioned this a few times on Tamaradi in the past. I joined Tamaradi officially in 2004. The year before, I often participated in programmes. Thinking of those times, why did I originally join Tamaradi? It’s because at the end of 2002, there was a plan to present a gravure idol calendar to Fukuyama-san as a gift. The production stuff asked me to help, and I did a one-off appearance on the show.

M: Oh really?

S: I felt really happy [on Tamaradi], and I thought that it was a enjoyable experience too. After a while, the company told me to join the programme from the next year onwards.

M: So, the gravure [photos] really bonded us.

S: Tamaradi was formed through gravure.

M: Because we actually continued doing this afterwards [referring to Tamaradi], we are talking about gravure now.

S: As fans of gravure, we discussed, “This year’s gravure is…”. (lol) I became an assistant on this show like this, but after a while, I wilfully resigned and left Tamaradi. Fukuyama-san sang “友よ” on my last broadcast.

M: Yeah, I sang it.

S: Yes. Afterwards, and even now, I leave the recording studio to somewhere nearby during Tamariku. But if I did this that time, I knew I would absolutely cry out loud, so I went to somewhere further from the recording studio. Even though I was listening from afar, that song “友よ” was unforgettable. If I listened to it nearby, it would be dangerous for me. I still had to go back for the ending of the show.

M: So you were crying far away. So cute. (lol)

S: It would be dangerous for me to listen to this song, face-to-face.

O: Talking about this, I was in danger [of crying] too. After the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, “Sakurazaka” was sung at the Radio Charity Musicthon SP: I’m with U: Kimi to, 24 Jikan Radio…. [referring to the 9/4/11 radio broadcast where Masha was on radio broadcast for 24 hours]

M: That’s because this person [referring to Souguchi] suddenly cried! (lol)

S: No no, that’s because, as expected, in front of me…

M: Why did you cry then!? All of a sudden. Please tell me now.

S: No, that was because during the Tohoku earthquake, even if it was a little, if there were some things that I could help a little, if there was something I could help, I really wanted to help. Because of Fukuyama’s intentions, many people participated in giving to charity, and we received many messages.

M: Yeah.

S: Afterwards, Fukuyama-san sang “Sakurazaka” at the end, and now that I’m saying this my tears are flowing again… (rubs corner of eye)

M: Eh? What’s that? Why are you crying?

O: He already started crying before you sang. In the middle of reading the messages, he said “I can’t read anymore”  and gave the messages to Fukuyama-san.

M: Yes, while reading the messages, you suddenly cried.

S: Yes, it was like that.

M: What was the reason? In my heart, I think that’s because the kids from the affected areas were singing before that? I think after Souguchi listened to it, that feeling [of crying] was aroused.

S: Until then, I had many feelings in my heart and till the last moment, I thought, “Wow, I can’t do it. I can’t stand it. I can’t hold it in.” While I had this feelings, “Sakurazaka” gave me a final push.

M: While reading the messages, Souguchi was choked up and couldn’t talk, and gave the half-read messages to me without speaking. I thought, “Hey, don’t be like that.”

O: He gave it to you halfway through.

S: Well, if I was hosting my own show, I suppose I could have held it in. But while hosting with Fukuyama-san, perhaps I was dependent on him…When I was at a loss, I could say, “Excuse me”.

M: What was the actual feeling that you felt then?

S: Rather than say it was the actual feeling, I should say it was because my feelings escalated. For me, when I’m hosting alone, no matter what happens, my feelings don’t escalate.

O: Really?

S: When I’m alone, even if it’s the last show, I wouldn’t cry. So I’m very scared about the final taping for Tamariku. (lol)

M: Hey! Don’t cry!

S: No no no.

M: Like that time, I might end up crying with you!

S: Yeah. So, even though I’ve gone through many show finales, it was mostly people around me saying, “Eh?” while I would normally think, “Let’s meet again somewhere”.

M: If it’s like this, we should bring sunglasses during the last broadcast.

O: That’s right.

S: How odd, wearing sunglasses in the recording studio. I don’t even usually wear them.

M: You could hurry and wear it if you can’t hold it in.

S: It seems like my feelings will intensify if I do that.

M: And then you should cry out loud when you do cry!

O: Yes, if you silently cry, listeners won’t know what’s going on.

M: Because it’s radio, we should cry out loud, “Uwaa!” Let’s set that as our goal for the last broadcast.

S: The “Sakurazaka” I heard then was one of the best “Sakurazaka” I’ve ever heard.

M: That’s because you were crying.

S: Without mentioning the fact that you cried along with me, you did have a different feeling while singing “Sakurazaka” then, right….

M: I cried because you did! I did seriously consider the feelings of the listeners, then sang the song… it would be weird to sing while crying. No, even if I was crying while singing, as long as my pitch was stable, my voice was stable, it would be alright. If it was like this, it would be ok to cry. But once I cry, I can’t sing!

O: Only the guitar would continue.

M: During last year’s NHK song festival, Tendo Yoshimi said, “ With thanks towards Takajin Yashiki, please let me sing this song” and with Osaka Castle in the background, she sang “Yappa Sukiyanen”. Then, of course Tendo-san cried, but her voice did not tremble with tears in her eyes. It was an awesome performance.

S: It was great.

M: I was moved by this. While soaking in the bath, I cried out loud in the toilet. (lol) But I can’t do that. If I cry, I won’t be able to sing.

S: I could sense that Fukuyama-san was feeling confused. “Oi oi, I’ll cry if you cry too!” Until then, there were several times I wanted to cry too and I held it back, but I failed in the end.

M: I did feel weird beforehand. It was so sudden, I got surprised.

S: That version of “Sakurazaka” is in my list of best songs with self-accompaniment.

M: Really? Thank you.

S: Also to me personally, when you suddenly said AKB48’s Heavy Rotation was a very good song and spontaneously wrote down the chords, then sang it in the show, that was an interesting performance.

M: Yes, that was interesting. I also received requests to include these songs in Tamariku, but that’s a little… (lol) I don’t know, if this Tamariku gets positive reception and sells 1 million copies, I’ll produce a second one.

S: This is a promise.

M: A promise. I’ll definitely release it if sales reach 1 million copies.

S: When you release it then, please follow everyone’s requests.

M: Of course! But, I guess I’ll still choose some songs myself. (lol)
