⚔️ ASK A SWORDSMAN - ISUKA ⚔️

Our second question is for Isuka and it comes from @/PiratePlunderOP on Twitter! She is quite proud of The Nailer epiteth nickname she has earned, and in reference to Fire Fist? Isuka doesn't back down in her chase of him. On a side note, she's willing to concede that Kotatsu is indeed cute, despite him being a pirate.

NSFT Alphabet: Joseph Desaulnier

I have no idea what im doing lol

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

So ideal you prob are expecting him to run you a bath, wipe you down, cuddle all that jazz but tbh he needs a second to recover. Would cuddle if you are a cuddly type but are content lying beside you just listening to your voice. He does like to touch you after with his nail tracing your skin or kissing a spot he might have bitten too hard during the moment. I do believe this man would have after-sex snacks ready lol food and wine guy. The bath happens later 

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

His favorite part of his body I think would be his hair idk he seems like the time to take extra care for it. On you, I think your face if you are an expressive person or your hands. 

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

He likes cumming on your face. If you let him he will paint you with his cum and take a picture of it uwu

D = Dirty secret (pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

He likes giving those he likes pet names (‘gray little mouse’ for Aesop). He rather likes it when someone fights back rather than just accept their fate-- this goes in the bedroom too. He likes the tussle before you give in. Would let you peg him if you are into that

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

A lot. Trust me this man in no way is a virgin, no way and with both genders

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

You riding him 

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? Are they humorous? etc.)

He is serious but might smile but he takes this very seriously

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? Does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Uh-hm I don't think his a hair guy based on his once skin, I doubt he has much hair down there

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? The romantic aspect)

He can be romantic depending on the mood and 

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

I don't think he does this unless he is already in a relationship

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Petplay, degradation, mutual masturbation, 'human furniture', titles used in the bedroom, brat taming

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

In his bedroom he is not all that into public stuff but something you inspire him in matches (more like he bullies you for being bold)

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

You being a brat

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn-offs)

He will not sub he just wont (until i find a plot reason for him to sub lol)

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Too good, evil good, life-changing even 

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Slow and sensual or fast and rough it all depends on the mood and place

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

He hates quickies at first until you tease him enough then you getting it

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

He can if you present it to him

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

The man literally can cheat using camera world to make you cum faster without having to do much work lol but also he is a swordsmen i think he can last fairly long

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

You need to show him what a vibrator is (but be ready to suffer)

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

100% unfair

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Depends he can be loud or quiet (plot reasons)

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Pull his hair before he cums 

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

Perfection 

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

I think he does not have a high sex drive as he got older, but if you have a high sex drive I'm sure he can match it

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterward)

I think it depends on how long you two have been going at it. He tends to stay awake to watch you sleep, the calm after the storm feelings. Here you are vulnerable with the person who is technically your enemy in these games, peaceful and covered with his marks.

So I heard someone mention recent Cookie Run designs somewhere, and it made me remember this thing I was going to post about a couple weeks ago

Namely, the Witch’s Castle designs, since I personally think they’re the weakest we’ve been getting recently

Like, they aren’t the worst thing ever, but a good half of the original Witch’s Castle Cookies feel overdesigned to me, or they’re too busy

Like, why do Marble Danish, Sachertorte and Onyx Cream have 4 different hair colors? Why is this necessary?

And I feel like they just have some unnecessary details that really didn’t need to be there, like the fur on Marble Danish’s coat, or the sprinkles on said fur

It also personally irks me how Onyx Cream’s outfit has so little black or other dark colors. His name is Onyx Cream, and Black Cream in the original, and yet the black in his design is really only around his head. I don’t know, I feel like the darker colors should have been more prominent

Also I think Onyx Cream looks a bit too similar to Marble Danish, at least in terms of basic outfit things. Not only that, but their descriptions say that Marble Danish is made of cacao and butter, while Onyx Cream is made of cocoa powder and cream. Also, they’re both swordsmen. I don’t entirely know how similar they are in character yet, but they feel q bit same-y to me. Which wouldn’t necessarily be a huge problem if Onyx Cream didn’t come out only a couple months later

And as for Snow Crystal, I know she had the whole “she looks AI generated” thing going around, but honestly I think her hair is the main culprit

I feel like it just looks really ill defined, and with that, it makes it look more AI-ish

Personally I don’t really hate her design, and I like the color combos, it’s just her hair that irks me, because it really doesn’t scream “snow crystal” to me, maybe if her hair were more angular and rigid, or at least more together

Also she’s got this very light and flowy feel towards her in her animations, but that’s not really the vibe I get from the name Snow Crystal. I know snowflakes and such are light, but her name I feel like doesn’t match. I did find out there are apparently these tulips called “snow crystal”, which I feel like would make plenty more sense with her design, but her description tells me that no, she’s supposed to be like a snowflake snow crystal

Maybe I am being too picky, and I know my brain is wired to this philosophy of “simpler = better” despite that not always being the case, but I just feel like they have all these unnecessary details

Radish, Rosemary and Witchberry I don’t really have much problem with, I think their designs are perfectly fine as is, and I can maybe excuse the detail on First Cream, at least in her hair, but I feel like the Witch’s Castle designs are a bit hit or miss for me, and I really don’t know whether to expect more misses or not, since all the ones I like were here since launch

That group of people went up the mountain, and fought their way down. Its finally quietened down today. When the immortals fight, commoners suffer. Immortals fighting? What immortals? Those people in the martial arts world, those sects and alliances, fight all the time. What can they do aside from harming the innocent?

- ep 3, I really like this line. (I also particularly like the music in this part). It's just like... where's the lie. At least in this particular story I bet these words the regular people are saying will turn out to be true. Li Xianyu lived his life in the martial arts world, clearly liked regular people (assuming him being so nice to little sick fang duobing is any indication of his equality toward others versus shan gudao), and yet he gets in a big all out Be All End All Fight. Apparently his own sect and the demon sect wrought massive destruction to the ordinary people that night. And he didn't even get his sworn brothers body back, he only almost dies. No wonder he's reevaluating.

It's also just an interesting perspective to voice in a wuxia story. I mean I assume there's a plethora of wuxia stories which do, I just haven't seen many. So I can only compare to stuff like the Blood of Youth and Word of Honor and Xin Xiao Shi Yi Lang. But from the ones I have seen, the martial arts world is a world in itself and the story acts like they're the Only World. I don't usually hear the voice of the ordinary people who will never be swordsmen, who will never join a sect, who will never even dabble (maybe a royal ordinary person once in q while that Happens to know martial arts but mostly the entire focus will be on martial arts World characters excluding the ordinary world, Word of Honors a good example). Now, to be fair, this show has only showed martial world people too... or martial world adjacent people like Li Lianhua (who used to be a top person in it), and fang's servant who's apparently the son of a martial world guy. Still. I like hearing this line. I hope it implies more about maybe where li lianhuas arc went and is going

frankcore march 2024 update!!

a Lot more guitar music based than last month (this could be bad or good, you be judge) but it's mostly a back and forth between different styles of electronic and assorted flavors of rock and punk, with a few pop and rap outliers here and there. for the electronic chunk of the list, it's mostly composed of (as ever) the more percussion-driven styles of electronic: dreamy and chill breakbeat courtesy of eris drew, uk bass/electro/post-club mutations from little snake (that whole 20/20 ldn comp is solid stuff, still prefer the halftime sound from their earliest releases, but this is nothing to scoff at either), heavy hitting hard (h)drum from ahadadream, priya ragu and skrillex, d.silvestre and company pushing the gnarliest side of funk brasileiro to its more brooding limits, maddeningly catchy garage and uk hip hop crossover presented by kwengface and joy overmono, a whole section of different footwork offerings from sinistarr, heavee, dj clap and anysia kym, two portrayals of modern drum and bass sounds with dbridge presenting his signature minimal ventures, and machinedrum and tinashe bringing one of my favourite liquid dnb / r&b crossovers in a minute, and finally, the return of the french prince of darkness, mr. gesaffelstein, doing a heel-turn from the unsufferable dreck that was his previous album and diving head-first into 80s synth punk / ebm / minimal synth revivalism by way of daf and two lone swordsmen, and it is a much, much more welcome addition to his repertoire.

for the guitar side of the list: yeule's cover of broken social scene, taking the indie rock original and twisting it into an ambient / glitch pop piece, indie pop ventures from casiotone for the painfully alone (instantly recognizable band name, for sure) and alucinaciones en familia (first time there's an uruguayan project on this list! there may be more over the course of the year, my goal this year is to listen to as many albums and eps from local artists as i'm able to), hauntingly pretty and poppy neo-psychedelia bliss by broadcast (i definitely need to get into their stuff as soon as possible, i've really liked the few songs i've heard from them so far), everyone's favourite shoegaze-etc band mbv with a hit from the pre-loveless days, a very of-its-time yet very compelling emo-pop track by further seems forever, a strange yet impossibly interesting and singular blend of screamo, bedroom and twee pop as well as math rock(!) from your arms are my cocoon, and a hard-hitting and emotionally raw final blow by post-hardcore / alt rock project tenemos explosivos, the band behind my favourite album of 2022, whose discography i should definitely dive more into in the future.

as for the rest: the two solitary rap cuts in here, firstly a cut from the most recent schoolboy q project (much like gesaffelstein, a very clear improvement when compared to his last album) and later on, corroded and destructive trap and industrial crossover courtesy of shapednoise and moor mother, two artists very keen on sonic experimentation, delivering a mystifying experience every time; a strangely familiar and comforting blend of 80s synthpop and 90s soul by way of more modern indie production in the nourished by time track, an impeccable piece of electro-disco / synthpop from juliana gattas, vocalist of miranda!, one of the best pop acts from latin america, and produced by alex anwandter, also a name to watch if you're interested in pop from this side of the globe, and finally: kylie minogue with one of the best pop songs of all time, never gets old.

the one non-spotify highlight this time around is volt mix do bruxo by chediak, taking a cut from one of the most boundary-pushing scenes in all of funk brasileiro, the enya-sample-led baile do bruxo by tropa do bruxo, a collective of various mcs and djs spearheaded by ronaldinho of all people, and flipping it into a homage to the earliest forms of funk, more initially inspired by electro and miami bass. it bangs, what can you say

tube it!!

⚔️ ASK A SWORDSMAN - ZORO ⚔️

Our first question is for Zoro and it comes from @/plantzawa on Twitter!

If Zoro could train with any swordsmen except for Mihawk, it seems like he'd choose Rayleigh! 🩶

When shishi-tls translated Taisho Secrets about Kakushi from 1th fanbook, it was written that they can become Kakushi when they "fail to pass the examination". What does it mean? They run away from Final Selection or do not have the strength to get into it.

This is likely in reference to a question in the Q/A style Taisho Secret section, which I'll recap here:

Q. How does one become a Kakushi? A. It seems they are usually Corp members who had to retire due to injury, or people who weren't able to pass the exam but still wanted to contribute to the Demon Slayer Corp in some way.

This does make it seem like it's referring to the Final Selection as this "test" but we can find more clarification in the Kakushi's introduction in Chapter 44 after they tie up Tanjiro and carry him off.

The convoy that handles the aftermath, the Kakushi. They are the troops who take care of things after the Demon Slayer Corps fight demons. They are mostly comprised of people who were not blessed with talent for swordsmanship.

If they didn't have talent for swordsmanship in the first place, this leads me to believe that their Cultivators never allowed them to take part in the Final Selection at all, for that is the final selection. There's no sense sending people to their death if you're fairly certain they won't survive, after all. However, I'd like to take this opportunity to appreciate just how awesome the Kakushi are, swordsmanship skills or not.

Okay, like... they can sew. I can't sew, I'm already super impressed by anyone who can sew. Also, let's think about how many people would be dead if it weren't for their emergency medical expertise. And while they may not be gifted swordsmen (or had to retire), they are super physically fit, very accustomed to carrying people for long distances. Swordsmanship skills or not, these people are not lacking in bravery whatsoever. Look at them. Not a shred of hesitation! You guys look so cool out there, I have so much respect for you!!

Certainly, there are those who are quicker to spring into action than others, and some who may have gotten further than others when it comes to active combat, but I doubt any of them would have had it in them to turn tail and run from the Final Selection. (Except maybe Maeda-san.)

Just because most of them have at least some swordsmanship practice in their background, it doesn't mean all of them do. I'm sure a lot of them had other reasons for signing up as a Kakushi right away to contribute with whatever skills they had; some who lost their families might had known they'd be no good as swordsmen but they could cook or mend things or learn whatever new skills were necessary to support the people fighting their stead. What's very interesting, though, is something the Kakushi (and likewise, swordsmiths) are expected to give up: Their identity. It's hard to say why this might be, perhaps it's a precaution to keep them from being targeted by demons and tortured for information, since they can't defend themselves like swordsmen can. When Tanjiro is carried by a secret method to the swordsmith village, he's not even allowed to learn their names, it's that's serious. That's not to say they totally give up their identities, they keep up personal correspondence with people by name, and form relationships with other people in the Corp all the same, but there's something to be said for the willingness to leave one's identity behind at a moment's notice for the sake of the Corp.

We don't know if the Kakushi receive the same sorts of benefits as the swordsmen, who can earn higher salaries as they advance and who have a father-like figure watching over them from afar, knowing them by name, and remembering them by their wills should they give their life in battle. The Corp moves to support the swordsmens' work, and they are encouraged to focus intensely on their own personal strengths and to do whatever they need to hone them in their own unique way.

Kakushi don't face the same risks, their work is subordinate to the swordsmen. However, they must be proficient in a wider array of basic skills, like astronauts who must be able to do everything from flying spaceships to giving haircuts, for they must be entirely self-reliant for any need that arises, picking up more skills than they ever had interest in. By giving up their identities instead of their lives, its as though Kakushi must set their own egos aside and function for a higher purpose. The spiritual fortitude of this team is on a very different sphere; they need to see the bigger picture, and if that picture calls for them to take action that may kill them, they pick up a sword and do what must be done.

franky will fight burgess revised

we all know that eventually the blackbeard pirates will fight the strawhat pirates with the strawhats fighting their blackbeard counterparts . To wit, there are similarities between Luffy and Blackbeard (similar belief in dreams, the Will of D, so on), Zoro and Shilliew (both master swordsmen), Chopper and Doc Q (doctors), Van Augur and Usopp (snipers), and Jesus Burgess and Franky (helmsmen, strongmen, etc.).

as we know jesus burgeuss is a wrestler and has a wrestling theme and in lots of animation as said they fight strange creatures including robots/cyborgs including the anime/manga ultimate muscle

and franky has fought a guy who uses a wrestling techniques before and thats senor pink who has the suplex techniques and franky has exhibited a kind of boxing/wrestling style of fighting throughout the series.\and frankys post timeskip body/body type is more similar to burgeuss

plus jesus burgeuss is an evil counterpart to   franky  

Both are quite boisterous brawlers in a fight, very flashy, and both introduce themselves in the series as prone to starting a fight (though Burgess is quite a bit more aggressive I mean  he was First seen standing on top of a house shouting and looking for a fight. ). However, Burgess only uses his raw strength and what he is capable of in a fight, along with a little bit of cunning. Franky is a bit more reliant on his abilities as a cyborg, but he can fight underhanded as well and he’s just as effective in a brawl.

burgess and spandam both constantly wear masks and sufferedd serious injuries on their face

so this may cause franky  to think about spandam 

I mean robin fought black maria who would cause  robin to reminisce on spandam due to some of the similarities they had when facing robin / ways to callback spandam

Black Maria is a perfect foe for Robin. She lets minions do the work for her and is always surrounded by them, savagely beats up helpless captives who won’t fight back because of a crippling weakness, while using even weapons to do so, and has a living weapon which has eaten a Devil Fruit. Maria also uses her dark past in Ohara to psychologically torture Robin, plans to violently extract information from her, destroys her own base/brothel and her laugh is even “Wahahahahahaha!” So, Robin is probably thinking of a certain old personal foe of hers when she beats her the exact same way as him. Even better: The means Black Maria used to beat Robin through mind games are superior to Spandam’s, as she actually can use supernatural powers to back them up. So, why she is less effective than him at mentally harming Robin? To show how much she grew and trusted her Nakama.

 which made it so they needed it 

and the modifications reminds me of the film z pacifista so its possible that burgess had to undergo cyborgification

[wedreamedlove]

For the 1st anniversary, there was a 16 Tacit Agreement Q&A. I love this mini-game so much because it gives the men so much life, there were lots of dishonest answers (looking at you Sariel). My result with Osborn was 62.5%.

Q1: Do you like plain water or carbonated water? [AGREE]

A: Plain water. I generally drink plain water after exercising. Of course, energy drinks aren’t bad either. But, no matter what it is, you can’t drink too quickly.

Q2: Between you two, who likes to be lazy? [AGREE]

B: [MC]. Does it still need to be said? If I can do it, then you won’t move. Little Expert Lazy Bug, that’s you. But I’m willing to serve.

Q3: Do you like sunny days or rainy days? [DISAGREE]

A: Sunny days. The umbrella before was too small, so I bought a large umbrella. Next time it rains and we go on a walk again we won’t need to worry about getting wet.

Q4: Between you two, who sings worse? [AGREE]

B: [MC]. Actually, your singing is still pretty good but compared to me you still lose by a little stroke. You’re not convinced? Sing a song for me to hear then.

Q5: Do you like offline shopping or online shopping? [AGREE]

A: Offline shopping. If there’s something I want to buy, I’ll go to the store directly to buy it. This is faster than online shopping.

Q6: Between you two, whose massage skills are better? [AGREE]

A: Osborn. Some massage after exercising can effectively remove fatigue. Looks like my skills really are pretty good, so in the future I’ll give you some more massages.

Q7: Do you like rice or noodles? [AGREE]

B: Noodles. I can instantly recover my energy when I eat a bowl of noodles when I’m hungry. Of course, other than noodles, there’s also soup dumplings, boiled dumplings, flower rolls... How come a certain gluttonous kitten is about to drool just from listening?

Q8: Between you two, who pays more attention to their image? [AGREE]

B: [MC]. Even when it’s your occasional messy appearance or when you’re scared, you always look good.

Q9: Do you like being alone or being together with others? [DISAGREE]

B: Together with others. Being alone certainly lets you feel at ease, but occasionally you’ll also feel restless, right? If you need it, you can call me anytime.

Q10: Between you two, who gets up earlier? [AGREE]

A: Osborn. Yep, you know that you need me to call you every time before you slowly climb out of bed. Looks like a lazy kitten is very self-aware.

Q11: Do you like showering in the morning or night? [DISAGREE]

A: Morning. In the future, I’ll always let you wash first at night then. Hey, why did you turn your face away?

Q12: Between you two, who has better interpersonal relationships? [DISAGREE]

B: [MC]. Are my interpersonal relationships good? I’ve always felt that good relationships are things that are elusive to me. But I’m happy you think this way.

Q13: Do you like roller coasters or pirate ships? [DISAGREE]

A: Roller coasters. I’ve always felt that pirate ships are kid’s stuff compared to a real ship. If there’s an opportunity, let’s experience the rough waves at sea together.

Q14: Between you two, who is better at managing finances? [DISAGREE]

B: [MC]. So, in your eyes, I’m not that bad in this aspect either. Looks like we both gotta learn this well in the future.

Q15: Do you like historical dramas or modern dramas? [AGREE]

A: Historical dramas. In the past, I always wanted to be those wandering swordsmen in historical dramas, but it was only after watching lots of them that I learned how hard it is to get to that point.

Q16: Between you two, who has better spice tolerance? [AGREE]

A: Osborn. I don’t especially like eating spicy food, but my ability to bear spiciness is really high.

Hakuoki SSL - Hakuo Gakuen Q&A

This is my last post of the month, so I’ll end by asking you to please support me if you can through my ko-fi, and paypal or patreon which provides access to my hakuoki blog translations and early access to my postings. Also, please let me know if you have any hakuoki drama cds that you’d be willing to share that are on my Lookout List since i either do not have audio for those cds or do not have audio that I can share.... and if you are able to remove watermarks from a video, please contact me.  

Anyway, for some odd reason, ive been thinking about how lazy i am with editing sometimes, and it really shows on some of my older posts (alternatively that just might be fatigue since i used to mostly translate in the late evening/extremely early morning [like 3amish])... tho i will say that the degree to which i edit something relies heavily on what the content is. Like, I will be pretty thorough when I’m working on a subtitle file, but when I’m working on something else... my interest in properly communicating the English language plummets like a rock..... lol. 

one day, i should probably go and edit my older posts.... also, i havent been working on any videos lately since im trying to fill up as much of my queue as possible before things get busy...

Hakuo Gakuen Q&A

This translation is for content that was originally from the Dengeki Girl's Style 2014 April issue.

Translation by KumoriYami

Q1. Why did you enroll at Hakuo Gakuen or chooses to work there?

Q2. What do you think are the benefits of enrolling/working at Hakuo Gakuen?

Q3. Which course from the school do you recommend?

-------------

Hijikata Toshizou

A1. Because Kondou-san said that he was going to establish a school. I just couldn’t let that go could I……

A2. When I knew that this school would be promoting a traditional school spirit among the students, I thought this was fairly good.

A3: Of course that'd be classical literature.

-------------

Okita Souji

A1. Of course that's because Kondou-san is here.

A2. Although Hijikata-san is skilled, Sano-san and Shinpat-san who are excellent swordsmen, have also gathered here.

A3. I'd recommend all of the courses aside from classical literature.

-------------

Saito Hajime

A1. I was first attracted by the campus atmosphere, and I admire Kondou-san and Hijikata-san who are also here.

A2. To foster the students ability to think independently the corresponding penalties for students have also been established.

A3: Classical Literature.

-------------

Toudou Heisuke

A1. Since there a lot of teachers that I know here, I felt that I would have an easier time here, and it's also close to home.

A2. Although the kendo I was involved with before going to this school was quite different, the kendo club's activities are very interesting.

A3. What makes me the happiest is physical education.

-------------

Harada Sanosuke

A1.  Well, although it was a long time ago, while I was in the process of becoming friends with Shinpachi..... that ended up happening.

A2. This isn't just a place for teaching, and is also a place where the independence of students has great importance attached to it [gave up on rewording].

A3. Well...... Otori-sensei's English class is surprisingly interesting.

[ tn: that was the first time i saw Otori’s name in CN... was only able to translate it since one of the translators i’ve bookmarked translated all the Zuisouroku sakura ephemera stories and i was able to reference it from that.]

-------------

Kazama Chikage

A1. Of course that is to find my wife. Although this is a Kazama family tradition, it's made me wait for so long...... far too long!

A2. Aside from [needing to meet/]meeting my wife, there are no other problems.

A3. I believe it is necessary to use the power of the student council president to have courses on tea ceremony offered.

-------------

Sanan Keisuke

A1. When I heard that Kondou-san would be opening a school, I wondered if I would be able to help with something.

A2. Naturally…… it gives me a place to freely do my research.

A3. Ito-sensei's music course, it's quite decent.

-------------

Nagakura Shinpachi

A1. When I was closing to graduating from university, Kondou-san invited me to work here as a teacher.

A2. The food at this school is great! Since I came here, I haven’t needed to worry about having three meals.

A3. It goes without saying that it's naturally math!

-------------

Nagumo Kaoru

A1. Because my younger sister has to go to school anyway, since I'm her elder brother, it's natural for her to follow me.

A2. That'd probably be the disciplinary committee here. Hehe...... it's so much fun.

A3. A course? All the courses are boring.

-------------

Yamazaki Susumu

A1. Although the school's philosophy is a bit old-fashioned, I heard that the students' independent thinking is emphasized, so I decided to enroll at this school.

A2. Meeting Hijikata-sensei, you can say it's that.

A3. I'd personally recommend the classical literature course, but the science courses are also hard to turn away from.

------

 mwahahhaa ive got 2 dramas done for may~! 

also i translated track 6 of shinsengumi oni-tan lol. sorry but it was a lot shorter than tracks 3, 4 and 5...
