Maomao no Hitorigoto Episode 22 : Blue Rose / 猫猫のひとりごと　第22話『青薔薇(あおそうび/Ao-Sobi)』

Please note that the English lines are just my translations.

壬氏「しかし…美しいなぁ」

Jinshi “Shikashi… Utsukushii-naa.”

Jinshi “Anyway… It’s beautiful.”

猫猫（あー、寝不足だー）

Maomao (Aaa, nebusoku-daaa.)

Maomao (Oh, I’m sleep-deprived.)

壬氏「今回もご苦労だった」

Jinshi “Konkaimo gokuro datta.”

Jinshi “Thank you for your hard work this time as well.”

猫猫「いえ、何とか間に合ったようで、私も安堵(あんど)しております」

Maomao “Ie, nantoka mani-atta-yode, watashimo ando-shite-ori-masu.”

Maomao “No, it seems like I managed to make it in time, so I’m relieved.”

猫猫（あの軍師から持ち掛けられた話と聞いて、むきになってしまったな…）

Maomao (Ano gunshi-kara mochi-kake-rareta hanashi-to kiite mukini natte-shimatta-na…)

Maomao (I got all worked up since I heard that the strategist had offered the idea…)

猫猫「ここで、猫猫の豆知識。花は茎から水を吸い上げ、道管という細い管を通って、花びらの先端まで水を届ける。色水の水分は、花びらの表面などから蒸発するが、色素は蒸発しないため、花びらに色が残る」

Maomao “Kokode, Maomao’no mame-chishiki. Hanawa kuki-kara mizu’o sui-age, dokan-to-iu hosoi kuda’o tootte, hana-birano sentan-made mizu’o todokeru. Iro-mizuno suibunwa, hana-birano hyomen-nado-kara johatsu-suruga, shikisowa johatsu-shinai-tame, hana-birani iroga nokoru.”

Maomao “Here’s Maomao’s bits of knowledge. Flowers suck up water from their stems and deliver it to the tips of their petals through thin tubes called xylems. The water in the colored water evaporates from the surface of the petals, but the pigment does not evaporate, so the color remains on the petals.”

壬氏「園遊会でも、一際(ひときわ)目を引いていたぞ」

Jinshi “En’yu-kai-demo, hitokiwa me’o hiite-itazo.”

Jinshi “They really caught everyone’s attention at the garden party.”

猫猫「お役に立てたのであれば、光栄です」

Maomao “Oyakuni tateta-node areba, koei desu.”

Maomao “I’m honored if I could be of your help.”

壬氏「うん…そこでだ。今度は何を咲かせて皆を驚かせようか？」

Jinshi “Un… Sokode-da. Kondowa nani’o sakasete mina’o odoro-kase-yoka?”

Jinshi “Yes… Now then. What should we bloom next to surprise everyone?”

猫猫「はい？」

Maomao “Hai?”

Maomao “Yes?”

壬氏「真冬の桜はどうだ？あ、いや、真っ白な向日葵(ひまわり)も見てみたい…。あ、お前、足、無理するなよ。う���ん…あとは…そうだな。一本の茎から薔薇と百合(ゆり)が…」

Jinshi “Mafuyuno sakurawa doda? A, iya, masshirona himawarimo mite-mitai… A, omae, ashi muri-surunayo. Uun… atowa… so-dana. Ipponno kuki-kara sobito yuriga…”

Jinshi “How about cherry blossoms in the middle of winter? Ah, no, I’d like to see pure white sunflowers, too… Ah, hey, don’t strain your legs. Hmm… other than that… That’s right. Roses and lilies growing from a single stem…”

猫猫（うーん… 体に害のない幻覚剤を開発した方が早そうだ）

Maomao (Uuun… Karadani gaino nai genkaku-zai’o Kaihatsu-shita-hoga haya-soda.)

Maomao (Hmm… It would be quicker to develop a harmless hallucinogen.)

猫猫「次回、『鳳仙花と片喰』。遂に、あの軍師に勝負を挑む…。もう逃げない」

Maomao “Jikai, ‘Hosenka to Katabami.’ Tsuini, ano gunshi-ni shobu’o idomu… Mo nige-nai.”

Maomao “Next episode, ‘Balsam and Woodsorrel.’ Finally, I’ll challenge that strategist… I won’t run away anymore.”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

「青薔薇」 is normally read as 「あおばら/Ao-Bara」 in Japan. 「そうび(Sobi)」 is Chinese way.

「寝不足（ねぶそく/Ne-busoku）」: lack of sleep, sleep deprivation = 「睡眠不足（すいみんぶそく/Suimin-busoku）」

「ご苦労(ごくろう/Gokuro)」「ご苦労様（ごくろうさま/Gokuro-sama）」(+です、でした)

「お疲れ（おつかれ/Otsukare）」「お疲れ様（おつかれさま/Otsukare-sama）(+です、でした)

There are no English words of same meaning. We say it to someone who finished his/her work.

In general, the person in higher rank says ご苦労～ to the person in lower. So Jinshi said it to Maomao.

If Maomao says to Jinshi, she says something like “お疲れ様でございました“.

「お疲れ様」 is also used just like “hello!” or “hi!” when we meet colleagues, whether they are at work or after work.

「間に合う（まにあう/Mani-au）」: be in time

「安堵する(あんどする/Ando-suru)」: be relieved. More formal than 「安心する(Anshin-suru)」 or 「ほっとする」

「むきになる(Mukini-naru)」: get worked up, get fired up, become serious

「一際（ひときわ/Hitokiwa）」: outstanding, remarkably, still more

「光栄な（こうえいな/Koei-na）」: be honored

「もう～ない(Mo～nai)」: not ～　anymore

The design for Mephiles in the fanfic's Au and a little info for them, just for me to have a base for their personality between the different times in the story. After recovering their memory (sonic 06's events) Mephiles enters in a more pesimistic view, and recovers some of the personality traits it had before, but they are still trying to be "good". Shadow and Mephiles are more closer and currently dating.

[bonnur]

They don't leave my head

[bonnur]

They are on a date

Just trying some lighting and coloring stuff.

[bonnur]

"Destined to marry a monster that neither god nor mortal can resist"

Doing this with Mephiles accurate angel design, because why not.

Magician Mephiles. I think they would like to do magic tricks as a hobbie, they are a trickster after all. also sharing the outfit without rendering because I feel proud of it, I usually hate doing clothes, but this got better than I expected

[bonnur]

So listen. Soleanna is based in Venice, Venice is in italy, Mephiles was created in Soleanna. Conclusion: Mephiles is and knows italian.

I don't know italian, I just searched the lines, so any mistakes is cause of that .

Traditional Doodles because I need to learn to use clip I don't feel confident with my digital art right now, sowwy

[bonnur]

Biblically accurate Mephiles

Yes, I know, I am 4 days late, but I really wanted to do this and I just couldn't do it before because I didn't have a lot of time before. It's also my firts time trying this, and I want to do it to see if I can make myself more active in drawing, soooooooooo my way to fix it is trying to make this entire month and finish the other 3 days in november. Let's see how long I last :,) Sí, lo sé, voy 4 días tarde, pero realmente queria hacer esto y no pude porque no tenia mucho tiempo antes. Además es mi primera vez intentando hacer esto y quiero hacerlo para ver si puedo obligarme a ser más activa con los dibujos, y para arreglar esto es intentar hacer todo el mes y terminar los 3 que me faltan en noviembre. Veamos cuanto aguanto :,)
