Divider by Saradika

As a private detective, you work weird hours. You know this. You’ve known this since the day you started your apprenticeship. And it was one of the first things you told Droidbait when he first asked you out on a date.

To be fair, just after you explained your career, he explained that he often would be away for months at a time, due to his work with the GAR.

And it’s fine. You spend what free time with him you can, and you message him as often as possible, and he does the same. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

You release a sigh as you start scrolling through the pictures on your camera. You don’t want to be out here, working, following a man who is definitely cheating on his wife. Not when Droidbait is home. 

You lift the camera slightly and snap a series of pictures of your client’s husband kissing his mistress. His third mistress. You’re pretty sure that none of the mistresses know about each other, or the wife. 

You scroll through the pictures one more time, and then you grab your datapad, and type up a report, attaching the various files and pictures you’ve built over the last week. And then you click send.

You keep the datapad open until you’re sure that your client’s lawyer received all of the files, and then, and only then, do you shut down the datapad and start your speeder to head home. 

With any luck, no one will bother you for the next week, and you’ll be able to actually spend time with Droidbait.

You hurry back to your apartment complex, and park in your spot, and you exhaustedly take the lift up to the seventh floor. You punch in the code to your apartment, and the door slides open silently.

Your apartment is dark. Droidbait’s armor is sitting neatly by the front door, and you silently slip your jacket and boots off to put them where they belong. 

You silently pad into the kitchen and turn on the light over the stove, the light dim enough that you don’t have to worry about waking up Droidbait. You carefully set your com and your datapad on their charging ports, and you set your files on the kitchen counter to be dealt with later.

You should deal with it now. You should.

Your gaze flickers to the bedroom, when you hear a quiet sigh.

Or…you could deal with it in the morning. Well, when the sun rises.

You rub your burning eyes, you’ve been awake too long, and come to a quick decision. Work can wait, sleep can’t.

You walk back over to the stove and turn the light off, and then you navigate your dark apartment and slide into your bedroom. A small, fond, smile crosses your face. Droidbait is spread across the majority of the bed, sleeping on his stomach, his arms curled around your pillow.

Stars, you love him so much.

You watch him sleep for a moment, before you turn and peel your work clothes off, setting them with the rest of the clothes to be dealt with at a later point in time, and you grab your pajama shirt, one of Droidbait’s old tops, and you pull it on.

And then you yawn, and decide that the rest of your night time routine can wait for when you wake up. You’re just too exhausted, and the last thing you want is to wake him up.

You carefully slip under the comforter, and curl against him. You press a light kiss against his arm, the only part of him you can reach with how he prefers to sleep. 

“Welcome home,” Droidbait’s voice is rough with sleep, and his eyes are still closed. But he doesn’t need to see you to be able to make room for you in his arms.

He releases the pillow, and drapes his arm around your waist, pulling you flush against him, and tangling your legs with his. You press a light kiss against his throat, and then nuzzle close to him, “Sorry for waking you,” You murmur.

“S’okay,” Droidbait rumbles, “Did you get your guy?” He asks.

“I did,” You reply.

“That’s my girl,” Even with his voice thick with sleep, he still sounds so proud of you, “You can tell me about it in the morning.”

“Love you,” You whisper against his skin.

“Love you more,” Droidbait replies, cracking open one of his eyes only long enough to press a sleepy kiss to your lips, before he gently coaxes you to sleep with the soothing way he strokes your back.

When you wake up, less than five hours later, it’s because Droidbait’s com is going off, and he’s cursing up a storm, just quietly.

“Babe?” You ask, slowly blinking the sleep out of your eyes, “Is something wrong?”

“My brothers are idiots,” Droidbait replies apologetically, he leans over you and ghosts his lips across your temple, “It’s not important, cyar’ika.”

“Do you need to go get them?” You ask through a yawn as you slowly sit up. Your eyes are heavy with sleep, five hours of sleep not nearly enough to make up for the fact that you worked 18 hours the day before.

“I don’t. I told them to bother Hevy.” He sets his com back on the side table and then he turns to you and slowly brushes his fingers against your cheek, “I’m sorry for waking you.”

You yawn, “Can we please go back to sleep? I’m tired.”

He smiles at you, “Of course we can.” Droidbait lays back down under the covers, and holds his arms out for you.

You settled your head on his chest, “My favorite pillow,” You say quietly, and he rumbles out a laugh as he tugs you closer.

“Go back to sleep, little love,” He murmurs as he kisses the top of your head. “Our day can start in a few hours.”

You release a happy sigh and cuddle closer to him, and you’re not the least bit surprised when he shifts you so that you’re laying completely on top of him. You feel his lips on the top of your head and you smile against his chest, “Love you.”

“Love you more,” He replies softly. “Good night, little love.”

You murmur an answer, but you’re already more asleep than awake.

[ad_1] A courtroom ruling in a rental termination lawsuit may kill sure rental buyout offers throughout the state. Florida's Third District Courtroom of Attraction sided with a gaggle of unit homeowners searching for to dam the demolition of their rental constructing in Edgewater, a waterfront Miami neighborhood the place improvement has been booming. The unit homeowners, who filed a lawsuit over the rental termination of Biscayne 21, alleged that an affiliate of Two Roads Improvement illegally amended the affiliation's declaration to alter the edge to terminate the affiliation from 100% to 80 %. Present state legislation permits builders to terminate with 80 % approval, though 5 % can block that vote. That is why many look to lock up simply over 95 % help. Biscayne 21's declaration predated present legislation. So why does this matter? For Two Roads, which is searching for a rehearing and has vowed to take the problem to Florida's Supreme Courtroom, it poses a serious menace to the way forward for its deliberate improvement. The agency has been pre-selling condos at Version Residences, the primary of a three-tower mission deliberate for the location. The upper courtroom's ruling final week might have affected potential financing, and has possible created concern from current and potential rental patrons of the mission. For builders (those who play within the buyout area), it may kill acquisition and financing offers within the works for properties the place the affiliation had 100% termination language within the rental docs. It additionally signifies that builders will most likely give attention to buildings the place that language doesn't exist and so they can pursue a termination with 80 % of the vote. Additionally complicating the panorama is that the buildings which might be just like have that language of their paperwork are older. The older the buildings, the dearer to keep up, and the likelier that unit homeowners are dealing with higher prices to keep up and insure their properties. These are the buildings builders often goal. What we're excited about: The Nationwide Affiliation of Realtors introduced it was settling antitrust litigation over dealer commissions with a $418 million settlement, pending courtroom approval. What does this imply for you? Ship me a notice at kk@therealdeal.com. CLOSING TIME Residential: Tech investor and Nvidia board member Harvey Jones paid $74.3 million for the waterfront property at 740 Hello Mount Street in Palm Seashore. Candida Burnap offered the ten,467-square-foot, six-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom mansion, which sits on a 1-acre lot. Business: Colonnade Properties paid $76 million for the five-building workplace park referred to as Douglas Entrance in Coral Gables. The sale worth marked an almost 25 % low cost off its earlier sale worth a decade in the past. A three way partnership between Miami-based Banyan Road Capital and Los Angeles-based Oaktree Capital Administration offered the property at 800 Douglas Street. NEW TO THE MARKET Cosmetics inheritor William Lauder relisted his two adjoining, vacant Palm Seashore parcels of land for a mixed $178 million with a brand new dealer. The oceanfront properties at 1063 and 1071 North Ocean Boulevard at the moment are in the marketplace with Christian Angle of Christian Angle Actual Property. Jim McCann of Premier Property Properties beforehand had the itemizing when the properties have been asking $200 million. They're every in the marketplace for $88.9 million now. The two.3-acre meeting consists of about 360 toes of beachfront. A factor we have discovered In 1941, Disney fired a gaggle of cartoonists, together with the animator who created Goofy, for unionizing. Elsewhere in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis deployed greater than 250 further officers and troopers from the Florida State Guard, Division of Emergency Administration and different legislation enforcement businesses to the state's southern coast to dam Haitian migrants from getting into the state, Newsweek studies.

Gangs have taken over Port-au-Prince, the nation's capital, because the state of affairs in Haiti turns into more and more dire. Haiti's president Ariel Henry introduced final week his plan to resign. A invoice that may have clarified the controversial 2023 legislation that created restrictions for overseas traders — notably these from China — from proudly owning property within the state will head to DeSantis' desk to be signed into legislation with out these clarifications. DeSantis opposed the adjustments, which may have drawn distinctions between individuals and companies with controlling pursuits in corporations that owned actual property, and people with minority pursuits. A difficult lawsuit final yr's legislation will transfer ahead in April, in accordance with the Information Service of Florida. DeSantis can also be attempting to ban lab-grown meat in Florida. Florida handed SB 1084, which might ban and criminalize the manufacturing and sale of cell-cultured meat within the state, Meals & Wine studies. “You want meat, OK. And we'll have meat in Florida.” DeSantis mentioned, in accordance with CBS. “We're not going to have faux meat. Like that does not work. [ad_2] Supply hyperlink

What are your thoughts on the latest case? It was quite explosive in terms of the amount of BO content we got, and RUM seems to have made a move! I’m curious whether your thoughts have changed in regards to RUM’s identity, or if they have been further reinforced because of this case. Thanks!

I think that this FBI serial murder case (essentially "Clash of Red & Black 2") is one hell of a fanservice & action-packed BO case similar to movie 20, but actually done correctly. We have been waiting for a moment like this where all BO members can shine, so no better timing than it happening in volume 100 ^.^

I do think however that we are currently in a prologe-ish portion of this case/plot (up to File 1063) when it comes to its relevance in the overarching Rum plot, since this is so far just a random operation born from a random mistake by a random FBI agent, but I do expect this case to change trajectory and progress ongoing/relevant plot in Rum arc, similar to how "Crimson School Trip" (File 1000-1005) lead to Shinichi public exposure, or even something like "Black impact" (File 499-504), where the misison changed from Domon to Kogoro midway.

As for Rum, I think this case has demonstrated to be the perfect way to showcase his leadership and strategizing skills. A thing I thought was perhaps a possible view into his personality was how he said "listen to me" in a polite/proper way (saying "kikinasai" rather than "kike"), which is commonly used among authorative women/teachers, although being a gender neutral term overall. I think that although Gosho's intent is to frame Rum as Wakasa Rumi, it could at the same time also be a hint to that Rum is a man who has polite mannerism similar to that of Iori Muga's, as an effeminate butler.

A Much Needed Break

You’re feeling burnt out on tour and Rook is there to help you feel better

Request: “Could you do a rook one where the reader is on tour with the guys and she doesn’t go out to party with them after a show bc she doesn’t feel good and rook stays with you on the bus and when the guys come back they see you cuddling and sleeping on the couch”

Rook x reader

Word Count: 1063

The energy backstage was always exciting. The guys were hyped to go on stage and the noise from the fans trickled in, making everything seem electric. You were at your spot side stage with Ashleigh, watching the show and making sure everything was going according to plan. You had the perfect view of your favorite drummer, his eyes catching yours during the show and sending you a wink or a funny face.

Nothing seemed different than any other show, but for some reason your body felt like it was on fire, and not in a good way. Maybe it was the lack of sleep catching up to you, or the fact that you hadn’t eaten real food in too long. Your hands were shaking wildly, your heart was racing, and you felt like your knees may give out at any moment.  

This wasn’t a completely unfamiliar feeling, but familiarity didn’t make it any more enjoyable. You tried to tough it out through the show, but eventually Ashleigh caught sight of you and immediately sent you to the bus. “Y/N, I can handle this, you need to handle your health. Take the night off.”

You reluctantly agreed, finding it hard to argue with the woman when loud music was blaring from speakers all around you. Grabbing your things from the greenroom, you made your way out to the bus, hoping some peace and quiet would help you relax before whatever shenanigans the boys had plans.

Peace and quiet was far from what you got, as a small group of fans and reporters surrounded the bus, probably saving a spot for when the band inevitably filed onto the bus. The fans screamed questions at you, which rang in your dazed head 10x louder than they actually were. “Where’s the band?” ”When will Kells come out?” If that weren’t bad enough, the reporters were asking about upcoming music, shows, and most annoyingly, who you were. “Are you MGK’s new girlfriend?” “Are you dating a member of the band?”

You pushed past all of them with a small “excuse me.” The amount of people crowding around you as you unlocked the bus, your bus, seemed to worsen your already bad anxiety. But once you’d closed and locked the door behind you, you felt safe from the outside world.

After making your way to the back of the bus, you crashed onto the couch, your knees pulled tightly to your chest. You turned the TV on to a Disney movie, hoping the simplicity of it would calm you down. Your breaths were heavy, the aftershocks of panic settling over you.

You laid there until the show ended and you heard rustling in the bus. You prepared for the chaos that came with the boys’ arrival, only to find that the only person to come on the bus was Rook.

“There you are.” He breathed a sigh of relief, “all of a sudden I couldn’t see you from the stage and I got worried. Then Ash told me you were here so I came to check on you.”

You were sat up at this point, the movie paused. “Thanks,” you tried to keep your voice stable, “just wasn’t feeling too good. It’s nothing.”

He nodded, taking a seat on the same couch as you. “Tangled? Really?” He laughed as you blushed, defending your choice of movie.

“It’s simple, helps my brain to defog.” He raised an eyebrow at your response but didn’t say anything more on the subject. “Aren’t you going out? I thought you guys wanted to check out that club down the street.”

Rook gave a simple shrug, “the guys all went, I wanted to make sure you were okay first.”

“I’m fine, you should go.” You pushed his chest lightly, trying to shoo him out of the bus. He stayed in his spot, studying you. “What?” You asked, fidgeting under his gaze.

He spoke gently, “are you sure you’re good? You’ve been… off the last few days.”

You tried not to grin too much at his caring nature, but a small smile slipped onto your face, nevertheless. “I’ve just been overwhelmed, but I’m all good. I probably just need some sleep.”

Rook scooted closer to you, throwing an arm around your shoulders, and pulling you into him. Your body seemed to give in under his touch, slumping into his side automatically. “You can talk to me, you know?”

You sighed, staring at the still-paused TV, “I know. There’s not much to talk about. I just needed a break.”

His fingers started drumming softly on your shoulder, “you know we all really appreciate you, right?”

You let out a flustered giggle, “I know you guys do, it’s not that. I just haven’t stopped to breathe in like, 3 months. It all caught up to me. And then the fans and reporters outside didn’t help.”

Rook hummed before responding, “next time I’ll come out with you and kick their asses.” You laughed, shaking your head against his shoulder. “If you want me to give you your space, I can. I know what it’s like to need to breathe.”

You wrapped your arms around his middle, face buried into his abdomen, “I don’t mind if you stay.” Your voice was muffled into his shirt, but he got the message. “But you should go out with the guys,” you spoke, sitting up and removing yourself from the man as you realized the position you’d found yourself in.

He chuckled, laying horizontally on the couch with his arms outstretched and his chest facing upwards, “I’d rather stay here with you.” You hesitated for a moment before realizing you’d be an idiot not to take him up on his offer. You moved slowly, gently resting yourself against his firm body. His arms wrapped around you, pulling you in to properly hold you.

He hit play on the movie, letting the adventure come back to life. Your arm lay across his stomach, fingers lightly tracing the tattoos on his exposed forearm. Sooner than you expected, you felt yourself drifting to sleep.

When the boys got back to the bus to find your entanglement of limbs, their first instinct was to cause trouble. But, after a firm yet quiet scolding from Ashleigh and Irv to leave you both alone, they settled for taking pictures and promising to tease you endlessly when you woke up.

I don't really like the latest chapter. Jodie made a mistake. That was what I thought after read file 1062 and the spoiler leaks of 1063. It seems like gosho made her look so unreliable and don't have ability to create a secret code for their mission. Well, I know it's more like a common mistake foreigners do when they use another language. I do make a lot of mistakes when I use english (I am from Indonesia). But seriously, can't gosho make her a woman with a sharp intellect? She's an FBI Agent.

Well, I agree with you, it made me feel upset as well - why does it feel like it is always Jodie who messes up? Like you say, she’s a very capable FBI agent. Stop making her an idiot to let the 7yo main protagonist shine. 

But then again, it happens to everyone. Just look at the Japanese Police. What would they do without Conan? (Probably not run into so many murders...) 

And apparently, Shuichi says that they all read her code and none of them realized her mistake. So Shuichi himself didn’t know better either and it makes me feel a little relieved. Still bad when even Shuichi get outsmarted about grammar by a 7yo, but it’s not all just Jodie’s fault.

(Mary has a sharp intellect. Just wait until she finds out Shuichi is alive).

Enter The Director

Here’s a short thing I wrote about Aldebaran's coming to the Island. Uh-oh! He's just out here, and will make it everyone's problem. Also this might be the first person Volans genuinely dislikes, which is very impressive!

Length: 1063 Words

General Overview: Aldebaran comes back to the Island after a long-term break from it due to work and scheduling problems what with making films. He doesn't like what he comes back to.

Warning(s): No triggering content present.

( If you need anything else tagged/forewarned about let me know!! )

Aldebaran walked through the gate, pushing his glasses up as he headed over to where his station was. Polaris liked him checking in “every once in a while”, and it had been entirely too long since they’d had a nice chat. “Every once in a while” seemed to mean once every few years, though, and Polaris didn’t really mind or care about that as long as work was being done. Besides, it was always worth checking on SuperSpark, given that his hands-off approach to management wasn’t typically seen as beneficial. He was unsure why - he had delegated management to someone else while remaining in charge - but accepted the critique either way.

Walking through the area, things seemed a lot different. Specifically, a great deal more underwater, but also a lot more populated. One probably led into the other. Either way, he pushed open the office door, since Polaris didn’t really care about things like knocking. They were friends, after all.

“Hi! Just came back from a--” And Aldebaran’s tone soured. “Who are you?”

“Volans. Can I help you?” The person at the desk asked, looking up briefly from what they were working on. Writing something or other, Aldebaran didn’t really care. They had blue hair, about shoulder-length, and glasses on a bead-chain as they were tapping away at an old style computer. The office was also very different, with a more subdued colour scheme rather than the whole space theme. It was kind of sad. “I haven’t seen you around, what project are you with?”

“I’m looking for Polaris. The person in charge?” Volans nodded a couple of times.

“Polaris hasn’t been seen on the island for about twenty years. I’m the person in charge of the Sector right now. I’m still working on backing up all of the files and the like. But still, can I put your name on the register? I don’t think you’d be on it.”

“Aldebaran. I should be on it--”

“You knew Polaris better than I did. You know you won’t be on the register.” Volans typed a couple of things into the computer, looked incredibly disappointed, and nodded a couple of times, before typing something else in. What was worst about that - as far as Aldebaran cared - was that they were right about that. Polaris didn’t care who went where, only that things happened eventually. Micromanagement? Not a good look. And he would know. “What Charge were you assigned to, and where did you frequent when you were here last? Feel free to sit down, by the way.” He did, but more because this was going to take a while.

“Studio 13. Obviously. I’m the Director.”

“Mhm. That’d place you in… SuperSpark Cinema, then, correct?” Aldebaran nodded. This was obvious - elementary, even, and a waste of time at that - and really should have been done already. “Right. You’re sharing your project with Alphecca and Tanya Voss, so I’d recommend you check in with them to see what needs to be done. I think they share the leadership equally, but I don’t go there enough to check, so either of them should be able to give you pointers.”

“Give me pointers?” Aldebaran repeated, offense evident in his voice, as Volans just nodded with a smile. “As if I’m not in charge of the project?”

“Exactly. From what I can tell, you haven’t been in the Sector for so long, I don’t feel that it’s prudent to give you a leadership position, and even more so when the role is being perfectly fulfilled by two talented people.” Another few clicks on the computer, as something printed and was gestured for Aldebaran to take. An address, somewhere else in the building. The next floor up, actually. “If you have a further issue, do feel free to take it up with Flora, but I imagine that she’ll say to come and see me, given the fact that I inherited Polaris’ position. Now, because I imagine the Island has changed a great deal since you were last here, I am going to call an associate to give you a tour.”

“Yeah, you’re flooded. I’m not sure if you’re fixing that-”

“We are, yes. That is in fact an issue I am well-aware of.” Another customer-service smile. “As well as the individual issues across various zones. I’m sure you’ll have all sorts to say, so on the printout should be my contact details as well as the ones I’ve just set up for you. Are there any other things we have to discuss before Kalausi gives you your tour?”

“Nope. Can you tell me what’s happened to my cinema, though?”

“From what Kalausi’s told me, it’s gone through a visual overhaul, and it looks quite striking.” Oh no. “I think Alphecca handled the more aesthetic side of things, but you’ll have to ask them when you get down there. I would also like to remind you that it isn’t your cinema.”

As if on cue, there was a knock at the door, and Volans waved in a blonde girl with a purple umbrella and bright pink jacket on, clearly wet through.

“Hi! You said you wanted to see me, Vo?”

“Yes! We have a newcomer to the island, this is Aldebaran, and I’m sure he’ll appreciate a tour around while I write up his file. He’s with the SuperSpark crew. This is Kalausi, she’ll be able to help you settle in.” Aldebaran stood up, clearly not thrilled about this, and left with a nod. He also got the distinct impression that Volans was glad to have him gone, but that was a problem for another day.

“Right! We’ll be off, then, Aldebaran. Let’s go!”

About half an hour later, a ping came from the computer Volans was working at, just as they’d finished Aldebaran’s file. From Alphecca, no less.

Subject: hey get him out of here From: Alphecca

I hate him so much why did you let him back in????? 🤢🤢🤢 the director hates it here and I hate him being here do us both a solid and get rid of him pls ty <3 *this* close to quitting superspark and having to re-apply for my job to skip out on him being here tbh!!!!!

Oh dear. At least the feelings are shared about him.

Assaggi di grammatica molto avanzata | Dal File 1063, alias Camel e Akai alle prese col Giapponese complesso, di nuovo

Ciao. Qui Holmes, traduttore nonché adepto che stacanovisticamente soffre appresso a certe abominevoli frasi di Detective Conan.

In questo post mi soffermerò su due porzioni di testo tratte dal Capitolo 1063, ad oggi l’ultimo uscito, contenenti strutture particolarmente arzigogolate.

E ora, nonostante fosse ateo, il savio traduttore cominciò a ringraziare il cielo che dei capitoli con meno testo del solito gli fossero capitati proprio quando era più impegnato col lavoro. Cominciò anche a sperare che i capitoli successivi fossero altrettanto caritatevoli.

Esser(ci) senza star facendo: il ～ないでいる di Akai

Forse alcuni di voi conosceranno la struttura ～ている: ponendo un verbo alla forma gerundiva in て e aggiungendoci いる, che di per sé significa “esserci, stare” (di un elemento animato), si crea un elemento grammaticale che indica lo “star facendo”, “l’esser fatto” o anche il “fare regolarmente” (azione in corso, stato e risultato del compimento di un’azione, ripetizione ciclica di un’azione abitudinaria; cfr. Mastrangelo, Ozawa, Saito, “Grammatica Giapponese”, Hoepli, pp. 156-158).

Tuttavia, la forma ～て di cui parlavo all’inizio ha anche una forma negativa; come in italiano si dice “non star facendo”, anche in giapponese questo concetto si può esprimere con la struttura (pressoché) equivalente ～ないで. Se troviamo un verbo in ～ないで, quindi, sapremo che significherà “non star facendo (e...)”, “non stando facendo”. È altrettanto vero, naturalmente, che ～ないで non si usa solo per collegare due proposizioni, ma funge anche da “aiuto” - per così dire, eh! - ad altre locuzioni che funzionano esattamente come col ～て positivo (～ないでください, richiesta negativa; ～ないでおく, mantenere il risultato di un’azione compiuta precedentemente, spesso usato in maniera contrastiva; ～ないでほしい, desiderio che una determinata azione non venga compiuta).

E quindi? Tutti questi preamboli tautologici per spiegare che ～ないでいる significa “trovarsi in una condizione (in cui...)”, “esserci” (いる) + “senza essere, non essendo nella condizione di aver fatto X”. Insomma: la frase di Akai è l’equivalente negativa del ～ている in qualità di risultato del compimento di un’azione. La condizione di Camel è quella di non essere in grado di scrollarsi di dosso, non riuscire a seminare (振り切れる) i suoi inseguitori.

E in italiano contemporaneo? Traducete con un semplice presente indicativo negativo: “non riesce” (+ “a scrollarsi di dosso”, “a seminare”). Tutto qua. Acta est fabula. Plaudite.

Non poter dire di essere così, ma certamente neanche cosà

La traduzione, per avere un contesto:

...anche se non sono certo calmo e rilassato... ...dato che ho una Viper alle calcagna...

Il succo di tutto (TL;DR) è che Camel non perde occasione per sfoggiare strutture molto auliche e complicate anche in momenti concitati. Tipo, che so... quando il tuo passeggero è ferito gravemente e una banda criminale ti sta inseguendo a tutta birra.

La struttura che ci interessa è questo ～とはいきません, un corrispondente più cortese di ～とまではいかないけど - che, per carità, è grammatica di JLPT N1... Ma, pur essendo curricolare, rimane comunque peculiare e interessante!

Analizziamo la versione “standard”, che si studia sui libri (とまではいかないけど o とまではいかないが, è lo stesso):

～と. Posposizione che marca qualcosa che potete immaginarvi come un "il fatto che", "ciò che"; までは. Figuratamente, "addirittura". In senso lato, "fino a "; いかない. Letteralmente "non va", qui anche nel senso di "non va bene", "non sarebbe appropriato"; けど (o が). Letteralmente "ma...";

Seguitemi: se “addirittura una cosa come ciò [che ho appena detto] non sarebbe appropriata, ma comunque...”, allora “non si può dire che X, ma [sicuramente] Y”. Un esempio? Sto bevendo del Chinotto, e allora dico: “non posso certo dire che sia amaro come il fiele, ma sicuramente non è dolce”. Trasformando la frase che dice Camel (che vedremo nel paragrafo successivo): 余裕綽々とまではいかないけど. Quindi: “nonostante sia un’esagerazione affermare che io sia calmo e tranquillo [...è altrettanto vero che non sono poi talmente agitato da non poter neanche parlare]” - quest’ultima parte è sottintesa nel  けど. Ah, a proposito, 余裕綽々 è veramente innaturale da dire, in questa situazione. Suvvia, Camel!

Ma quindi, come siamo giunti a un ～とはいきませんけど da un ～とまではいかないけど? Semplice: まで, che in questo caso è quasi pleonastico, è un “addirittura” molto rafforzato che può essere anche rimosso, e rimane appunto solo とは (che ha anche altri significati, ma qui è proprio solo un まで). いかない viene reso più cortese e garbato (dopotutto, Akai è un superiore di Camel) mediante l’aggiunta di ～ます, e ci siamo! Tutto quadra! Che poi sia difficile da rendere in italiano, me ne rendo conto. Se è vero che la nostra versione finale forse non riesce a trasmettere appieno che "sarebbe un'esagerazione affermare che sono calmo e rilassato, però [non sono neanche agitatissimo]...", è altrettanto certo che in italiano un'espressione del genere non si usa mai, specie in momenti tanto concitati... Ma Camel è Camel. Sasuga!

Conclusioni e まとめ

A questo punto, si direbbe che studiare per N1 abbia un senso. Quale? Leggere, comprendere (e magari tradurre... - un autore svedese diceva che se si vuol studiare un testo straniero in profondità, lo si deve tradurre nella propria lingua... Aveva ragione!) Detective Conan.

Insomma: studiate giapponese, studiate per l’N1 (io sono disponibile per qualsiasi consulto, che sia testuale o vocale!)... ma non come turisti, mi raccomando. Come ospiti.

GLI ASSEDI DI TROINA

Il primo assedio fu verso il 1063. Il Gran Conte Ruggero I proveniente da Rometta e sulla via dei monti che collegava Messina a Palermo, aveva liberato facilmente Troina dagli arabi ed era stato accolto dalla locale popolazione bizantina con grande onore.  Ruggero era da poco sposato e quindi lasciò la sua prima moglie a Troina con una dozzina di cavalieri e si diresse verso Nicosia per assediarla e depredare i dintorni. I bizantini fecero due conti. Per prima cosa gli arabi avevano riconosciuto loro ampia indipendenza cosa che Ruggero forse non avrebbe fatto. Secondariamente i Normanni erano a favore del papa di Roma mentre loro erano di religione ortodossa, quindi i liberatori erano al pari degli arabi: miscredenti. La moglie di Ruggero con pochi cavaliere pareva essere una facile preda e con poca fatica potevano avere un grande risultato. Assalirono quindi il castello dove i Normanni risiedevano con l’obbiettivo di catturare facilmente Giuditta D’Evreux, sposa di Ruggero. Fecero male i conti. I normanni erano pochi ma erano macchine da guerra. L’assalto al castello finì in una stage di paesani con i dodici cavalieri normanni barricati nel castello a difendere strenuamente la loro signora. Venuta la notte i paesani si rifugiarono nella parte alta del paese sicuri della vendetta di Ruggero. Quest’ultimo arrivo con i suoi uomini e diede l’assalto alle posizioni bizantine. Nel frattempo però erano arrivati  cinquemila arabi a dare manforte ai bizantini. Ruggero dovette a sua volta ritirarsi nel castello per difendersi dagli arabi e dai paesani. Fu un momento tragico per i normanni chiusi nel paese dove non potevano usare la cavalleria che era la loro arma più importante. Ruggero però aveva affrontato momenti peggiori, quindi attese l’alba ed attaccò risolutamente il campo arabo riportando una grande vittoria. Amari, grande storico siciliano ( e forse non molto imparziale) sottolineò che gli arabi, per combattere il freddo avevano abusato di vino e quindi non erano nelle condizioni migliori per difendersi. Fatto stà che sconfitti gli arabi, Ruggero si rivolse contro i bizantini passandone a fil di spada la maggior parte. Questo episodio fu molto importante per Ruggero che non era solo un soldato preparato e coraggioso, ma aveva anche quella che un giornalista di oggi chiamerebbe “una visione politica”: capì che conquistare la Sicilia voleva dire dover comandare due popoli che non avrebbero esitato a combatterlo. Per questo motivo incominciò a favorire l’arrivo non solo di nobili normanni e inglesi, ma anche di contadini dal nord europa. Questo fenomeno di ripopolamento con un popolo fedele raggiunse l’apice  una volta sposata Adelaisa del Vasto signora del Monferrato che fu seguita da una grande schiera di sudditi lombardi, piemontesi e provenzali che andarono ad occupare città chiave come Sperlinga, Piazza Armerina e Sanfratello, diventando il nucleo Gallico della cultura siciliana.

Il secondo assedio avvenne durante la seconda guerra mondiale. I tedeschi e gli italiani si erano fortificati a Troina in un prologo di quello che poi sarebbe stata la battaglia di Montecassino. Un  fotografo, un giovane Robert Capa,  seguiva tra le file americane, il loro avanzare nella conquista delle case di Troina. Gli alleati, vista la difficoltà a conquistare il borgo, decidono quindi di fare quello che avrebbero fatto a Montecassino ed incominciano a bombardare dalla terra e dal cielo il piccolo paese. Fu una strage di donne, bambini, vecchi e soldati. Robert Capa fotografò l’orrore dell’assedio e la distruzione che la guerra portò. Una sua fotografia diventa un famosa come quella del miliziano spagnolo ucciso durante il suo reportage della guerra di Spagna. E’ la foto di un soldato americano che ascolta un vecchio siciliano senza scarpe, che con il suo bastone gli indica una direzione lontana.

Ora Troina è uno dei borghi più belli d’Italia. Finite sono le lotte ed i morti sui monti Nebrodi dove i boschi e la quiete sono ormai dominati dalla lontana e imponente, unica signora della Sicilia: l’Etna

The first siege was around 1063. The Grand Conte Ruggero I coming from Rometta and on the way in the mountains that connected Messina to Palermo, had easily freed Troina from the Arabs and had been welcomed by the local Byzantine population. Ruggero was recently married and therefore left his first wife in Troina with a dozen knights and went to Nicosia to besiege the town and plunder the surroundings. The Byzantines thinked about the situation. First, the Arabs had recognized them a broad independence, and Ruggero perhaps would not have done. Secondly the Normans were in favor of the pope of Rome while they were for the Orthodox religion, therefore the liberators were on a par with the Arabs: unbelievers. Ruggero's wife with a few knights seemed to be an easy prey and with little effort they could have a great result. They then attacked the castle where the Normans resided with the aim of easily capturing Giuditta D’Evreux, the bride of Roger. The made a big mistacke. The Normans were few but they were war machines. The assault on the castle ended in a stage of villagers with the twelve Norman knights barricaded in the castle to strenuously defend their lady. When the night came, the villagers took refuge in the upper part of the town, sure of Roger's revenge. The latter arrived with his men and stormed the Byzantine positions. In the meantime, however, five thousand Arabs had come to support the Byzantines. Roger in turn had to retire to the castle to defend himself from the Arabs and the villagers. It was a tragic moment for the Normans closed in the country where they could not use cavalry which was their most important weapon. Ruggero, however, had faced worse moments, so he waited for the dawn and resolutely attacked the Arab camp reporting a great victory. Mr. Amari, a great Sicilian historian (and perhaps not very impartial) stressed that the Arabs, to fight the cold, had abused wine and therefore were not in the best conditions to defend themselves. As soon as the Arabs were defeated, Roger turned against the Byzantines, passing most of them by the sword. This episode was very important for Ruggero who was not only a prepared and courageous soldier, but he also had what a journalist today would call "a political vision": he understood that conquering Sicily meant having to command two peoples who would not hesitate to fight him . For this reason he began to favor the arrival not only of Norman and English nobles, but also of peasants from northern Europe. This phenomenon of repopulation with a faithful people reached its peak once Adelaisa del Vasto was married with Ruggero and she was followed by a large group of Lombard, Piedmontese and Provencal people who went to occupy key cities such as Sperlinga, Piazza Armerina and Sanfratello, becoming the Gallic nucleus of Sicilian culture.

The second siege occurred during the Second World War. The Germans and Italians had fortified themselves in Troina in a prologue of what would later be the battle of Montecassino. A photographer, a young Robert Capa, followed their progress in the conquest of the houses of Troina in the American ranks. The allies, given the difficulty in conquering the village, therefore decided to do what they would have done in Montecassino and began to bomb the small town from the earth and the sky. It was a massacre of women, children, old people and soldiers. Robert Capa photographed the horror of the siege and the destruction that the war brought. One of his photographs becomes as famous as that of the Spanish militiaman killed during the Capa’s report of the Spanish war. It is a photo of an American soldier who listens to an old Sicilian without shoes, who with his cane indicates a distant direction.

Now Troina is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. The struggles and deaths on the Nebrodi mountains are over where the woods and the quiet are now dominated by the distant and imposing, only lady of Sicily: Etna

[1989nihil]

okay so, finally brought myself to read chapters 1061 to 1063 (gonna keep myself from exploding until the last chapter for this case comes out nov. 25)... AND I FUCKING KNEW IT! Rum just has to be her! Case files 856-8 we’re already hinting at it, just like the Mermaid Case did for Vermouth! Speculating that Rum is the only code-name that’s gener neutral unlike the rest, and switches with whomever has garnered Karasuma’s full trust...

[masterdetectivexx]

Do you think the big event Gin mentioned happened in chapters 1060-1066 or is it something that is bound to happen soon (potentially Rum arc climax)?

From my understanding based on translator's comment, Gin is saying is similar to an idiom that means that one should take care of small matters (FBI serial murder) "before the big event/matter..." (Gin literally: "it is before the big event/matter..."). There was most likely an intent from Gosho to frame Rum as Kuroda by having Gin repeat the same idiom in File 1062 as Kuroda in File 1017.

(just like how he later framed Rum as Wakasa by having Rum show knowledge on romanization style difference in elementary school-level in File 1063 & Rum as Wakita by having Rum show knowledge on Tokyo waves in File 1064).

Gosho is most likely saying from a meta standpoint that the FBI serial murder is just a small matter and that bigger events/matters will come after, so yes, I do believe something is bound to happen soon (in roughly 20 files [volume 105: File 1114-1124], since we get big Rum development every 5 volumes), which is indeed the Rum climax.

My personal prediction for Rum climax is that it's a big BO case where Conan is gonna face Rum as Kudo Shinichi, by taking the spare antidote, and where Shinichi is gonna reveal how big of a threat he really is to Rum/BO by revealing that he has figured out Rum's true identity through the Kohji case. Shinichi will then fake his death like Sherry, where he convinces Rum that no one knew what Shinichi knew and experienced with the BO, and that everyone believes Shinichi is dead now. This is the next big status quo change I can see happen, where everyone thinks Shinichi died, except for Ran, who is told in secret that Shinichi is alive and in hiding because of dangerous enemies.

Ok I love Bloodbound but they really, really need to write down a timeline and fact check better. There was the error they have made (and since fixed) in the first book about Priya being the youngest vampire on the council, when it is in fact the Baron but as far as I know they have never fixed the error about Kamilah’s age,

They have her state she has been on this Earth 1063 years. Meaning she was born in 45 BCE. But she was 30 when she was Turned and we know Cleopatra (who died in 30 BCE) was still alive and that her twin died in 35 BCE, so there is about 15 missing years there.

Now, in the livestream they have referred to Jax as being from the 70s and I have heard there are spoilers in the files that back this up. But his parents met in a protest in the 1960s and we are probably talking mid-60s (maybe 1963 or 1964, depending what Type of protest) meaning Jax at the earliest eas born around 1965 and would have been 14 in 1974. It would make much more sense for him to have been turned in the late 80s.

So Jax is a decade too old and Kamilah a decade (or more) too young. At least Adrian’s age tracks 😂.

I know this is a petty rant but this stuff bugs me and it’s not that hard to keep a timeline for this kind of thing.
