Black Dust: /* Volume 6 title: 追憶の闇精霊 = Tsuioku no yami seirei = English? */

==Editing==

you guys should really try to find someone with a good grasp of the english language to look through these chapters and edit them. there are many parts that are very hard to understand because of the misuse of words which has literally driven me away from reading this as it can be very hard to understand at times.

nah...it's not that bad, but someone should really went through all chapters and set some standard for naming as right now it's a bit inconsistent (ex. in one chapter there're "spirit contractors" and in other "seirei-tsukai")

yes, this. no offense, but why translate if you can't properly speak one of the languages? is this a trend or smth? with high school DxD being the same and all. if I was the editor, I'd have to consult with the TL every 10 lines on the meaning of a sentence. right now this is bordering on needing retranslation, imho.--[[User:Idiffer|Idiffer]] 16:27, 5 April 2012 (CDT)

It is true that at the beginning the translations/language was not satisfactory, but after near around ch 5 every thing is in line. Also [[User:Nikuniku|Nikuniku]] has contributed a lot in matching the exact translations for the chapters with the Japanese texts. Why don't you give it a try again? --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] 22:47, 5 April 2012 (CDT)

It'll be good if you could highlight the chapters you're having issues with, as for the term, it is to be standardize as 'spirit contractor', so it'll be appreciated if editors could set that to be the same.--[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] 04:47, 6 April 2012 (CDT)

What's with this "gogogogogogo" thing anyway? It's really weird and doesn't make sense when you read it...[[Special:Contributions/218.102.79.4|218.102.79.4]] 09:43, 19 April 2012 (CDT)

The sound of rumbling you can say a fiery aura that wants to kill you(usually found in anime)--[[User:RikiNutcase|RikiNutcase]]

It's SFX. *SFX* should be encapsulated in Asterisks(*). I'm gonna register as an editor here. Also I've almost completed a new version of the nav template for this project that should make navigating much easier. Just a few tweaks left. Does anyone know if there is an abbreviation of Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance? You know, a short form of the long name like how '''Kore wa Zombie desu ka?''' is abbreviated as '''Korezom''' and '''Ore no Imouto wa Konna ni Kawaii wake ga nai''' is abbreviated as '''Oreimo'''. Or a nickname for the series will also do, like how '''Chrome Shelled Regios''' is nicknamed '''Regios'''. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 01:08, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

While we are talking about the name, I am curious about why we are using half Japanese and half English name? --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] 05:03, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

It's trendy to use half English and half native language in most non-English countries. That's why the author named it so. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 05:11, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

So... any one know the abbreviation? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 06:59, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

Not that I have heard of. Why don't we make one? :) --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] 07:04, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

Then I'll have to name the new navbar I designed as SeireiDance Nav. I hope that's okay. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 09:00, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

About the changing of the brackets to quotation marks, the bracket identify their live inner thoughts I think, in any case, they are not speaking out loud. If you have to change it, could you keep the distinction between them. --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] 11:02, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

Was that changed? I would prefer to keep it as in brackets. Its easier to distinguish the thoughts from dialogues. --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] 11:13, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

In case you haven't noticed. They haven't been changed to quotation marks. But italicized instead. That is the standard way of showing thought speech in English. Please don't tell me you went ahead and edited it back. It was tough correcting it all. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 13:26, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

Also Baka-Tsuki has a [[Template:Furigana|Furigana Template]] for showing furigana text. Use it when needed. explanation on how to use it is in the linked page. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 13:31, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

As for the replacement of <> with «». Unfortunately the brackets used in the LN are known as ⟨Chevrons⟩, and they are not inside the library of symbols present in the special characters tab of the edit window. Copy pasting then from the wikipedia brackets page seems a little too much so I opted for what was available in the symbols library. If you don't like them I can replace them with ⟨Chevrons⟩ using the find and replace. It will be rather excessive copying over and over in the still to be translated volumes though. Just highlighting and clciking on the «» button in the symbols section of the Special Characters would be easier. <> is not recommended since it is close to wiki code like with the <nowiki><ref>,<nowiki> and <noinclude>, etc tags.</nowiki> [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 13:54, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

'will help in changing the thoughts format. --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] 13:56, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

I see, can't see the difference between ' ' " from the 'diff' page, and, no, I didn't change anything, normally too lazy to do that. I used < > because I was lazy. And «this» looks pretty neat actually, I have no real preference though, but in my older translation, I changed ⟨ ⟩ to ' ', before I decided that it wasn't very visually noticeable.

About the use of furigana though, they like to use Strongest Blade Dancer with the furigana Ren Ashbell, which meant he said Ren Ashbell by sound. I wrote it like Ren Ashbell (Strongest Blade Dancer). --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] 19:29, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

Umm, I use FoxReplace while editing to change the punctuation. One of the settings I have set is to convert <<text>> to «text». So if you use that then whenever I edit those will automatically be changed. So, if you use <<text>>, in future. It would help a lot. Furigana: Is it {{Furigana|Ren Ashbell|Strongest Blade Dancer}}? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 22:07, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

Even I have the same query regarding that example of the Ren Ashbell. Using furigana is much better as in Itsuzen. Which one to use? --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] 23:24, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

Hmm, double <<, ok, or I could change that myself too

If I were to use furigana, I think it'll use it like that, {{Furigana|Ren Ashbell|Strongest Blade Dancer}}. The original text is like this though: {{Furigana|Strongest Blade Dancer|Ren Ashbell}}. I wanted to ask should I follow the original text? English doesn't have furigana, which makes me wonder how this would be perceived or read. --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] 23:35, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

Use the first one as it represents the position or the staus of a person {{Furigana|Ren Ashbell|Strongest Blade Dancer}} along with some color. It will look cool. --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] 23:46, 17 May 2012 (CDT)

Use [[Help:Color]] to choose the colors. Parameter documentation is inside the [[Template:Furigana|Furigana Template Page]]. Following original text is recommended, not only because it's original but also because otherwise it would overlap with other words. There are many instances on Baka-Tsuki where this has been used so it shouldn't have any problems. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 00:46, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

Kinda like this: {{Furigana|Strongest Blade Dancer|Ren Ashbell|color1=red|color2=blue|fontWeight=bolder|okurifontWeight=bolder}}. You can substitute the color with their names or even the color codes (See [[Help:Color]]). [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 00:55, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

I've completed the [[Template:SeireiDance Nav|Nav template]]. I'll begin implementation. It will be far easier to insert the new navbar compared to the old version. Plus it has some additional features that I know you'll find handy. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 01:14, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

Implementation complete! Behold the new navbar with advanced page navigation capability! Now you don't have to worry about going through extra pages to get to the target. New Page naming problems are also solved. And you don't have to be confused with that batch of code at the bottom of the page. the simplified call code is easy to understand and use. Wahahaha. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 01:43, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

A few things to note: most words shouldn't have the first letter capitalized, because they are treated as common terms. Except for Blade Dance, actually there are two meanings to the word Blade Dance, 1 is a sword fight and the other refers to the tournament. So, I was thinking of capitalizing the first letter for the one that meant the tournament, and the one that just refers to a fight in lower-casing. --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] 03:37, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

Normally you'd be right but it's the name of a type of fight and names are to be in Title Case. So... it wouldn't be a good idea to change Blade Dance to lower case. As for the spirit types I'll stop doing them now. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 04:21, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

The blade dances seems to be as common as like football over there, everyone knows about it. I've kind of been looking for a way to distinct blade dances from the Blade Dance. --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] 04:45, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

I don't think there is. Not every girl can become a Spirit Contractor. The reason it seems common is because they're always going in places where there are many Contractors. Now if every girl could become one then that'd be another matter. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 08:48, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

I don't mean everyone are contractors, but people do spectate blade dances like watching a sport. Spirits are definitely common knowledge, especially with what Ordesia Empire went through.

How would you suggest to distinct blade dance from Blade Dance? --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] 10:57, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

Like I said. Even with my knowledge of English, which is quite extensive I assure you, I ''can't'' say that it ''can'' be distinguished. Just because something is widely known doesn't make it okay to put in in lowercase. Especially if it's the name of something. Title Case is emphasis on the name of the style of fighting. It's the term used to refer to fighting with spirits. Thus the name of the type of fight. Names always are Title Cased. Well that's what my knowledge tells me at least. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 11:12, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

Anyways what about the coloring of the furigana like: {{Furigana|Strongest Blade Dancer|Ren Ashbell|color1=red|color2=blue|fontWeight=bolder|okurifontWeight=bolder}}? A standard needs to be established. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 11:46, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

Must the text be coloured? I understand if you need to colour the furigana to make it more visible. I like the text constantly black though. I'm not too keen on using furigana to be honest, it's just not English. For other projects that have furigana, do you put a ref note to tell the reader how to read it?

Every noun is the name of something. I'm saying treat it as a common term, not a name. Basketball is the name of a type of sport with a ball, or you could also say basketball is a type of sport with a ball.

剣舞（プレイダンス） = blade dance

精霊剣舞祭（プレイダンス） =　Blade Dance

There are two blade dances, one meaning a standard spirit battle and the other is the festival/tournament. I'm looking for a solution to distinct the two in a neat simple manner. --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] 17:36, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

Hmm. You might have a point. But doesn't the festival one always have the word Festival in it? Well if you feel so strongly about it. Then go ahead. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 21:37, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

I didn't do so in my translations, since I followed the author's use of furigana closely without adding any words.--[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] 22:24, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

If you don't like the color then [[Help:Color|suggest a better choice]]. Simple black text all the time is rather boring. I see no problems with spicing things up a little. Come on give it a chance, I'm sure it'll grow on you. As for not English, that may be so, Furigana is more like a design thing if you try and put it in English. If it's a design thing then it isn't so bad is it. Unlike paper we don't need to worry about ink expenses here do we? So it's feasible. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 03:43, 19 May 2012 (CDT)

It's not really that, when I look at the text and see Strongest Blade Dancer colored and bolded, it makes it very distinct like it is special, like making it bold or italic. However, it isn't special. I'm more keen in the impression you'll give readers really, not that I hate red or blue or anything. And how do readers read the furigana-ed text when they first encounter it? That's an interesting thought for me personally. --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] 04:48, 19 May 2012 (CDT)

Well for me I read the bottom first then the top. Anyhow the bottom and top need to have different colors other wise if the top overlaps with other text it would be hard to differentiate. That's the main reason. And you can try different settings to achieve your desired effect. Come on give it a go. If you don't want to then you could leave a hidden note in your translation and I'll apply the template at that point when I edit. Design can be done by an editor, no? It would make things easier for you, no? Come on, I promise it'll be worth it. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 05:00, 19 May 2012 (CDT)

Ah, I think I was vague on the furigana part, the furigana can be style as you like I guess, but could we keep the main text looking normal, so that it doesn't look like it's special or anything.

Something like this? {{Furigana|Strongest Blade Dancer|Ren Ashbell|color2=red|fontWeight=bolder}}--[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] 05:20, 19 May 2012 (CDT)

Sorry for "butt in" but as an anonymous opinion I don't like to see colors on a straight forward text at it is the Light Novel. As KuroiHikari expressed it makes it look like a special thing and your eyes are "pulled" for that text distracting you from the rest. Just my 5 cents.
Also I would like to give my thanks for the translators working on this LN.

Duh, it is special. And they wanted the eyes to be pulled that way. Oh well, how about this: {{Furigana|Strongest Blade Dancer|Ren Ashbell|color1=MidnightBlue|color2=DarkGreen|fontWeight=bold|okurifontWeight=bold}}. It has a much more subtle effect and yet everyone can still distinguish it. It won't draw the eyes that much because of the darker colors. It's always brighter colors that draw ones eyes. I think this would be a fine choice even if you remove the bolding. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 07:29, 19 May 2012 (CDT)

You can choose to do it yourself or mark the positions for me. Since it's a design thing now and I've taken care of the colors so they aren't distracting anymore there shouldn't be any problems. If you want the thickness reduced then tell me. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 01:09, 20 May 2012 (CDT)

==Illustrations==

[[Infinite Stratos]] meets [[Zero no Tsukaima]]? An awesome read! Mind if I register as an editor here? From the looks of things you really need one of my level. And I can also scanlate the pics. Though I would need someone to suppply me the translations to the text on them. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 23:53, 6 May 2012 (CDT)

So you want me to scanlate the pics or not? [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 04:19, 11 May 2012 (CDT)

There's no one really in charge of this project and I don't really watch this page either. The lines are repeated, same as the novel.

For the first image

"...No, don't look... idiot....Aaaa!" Biku, bikun! Claire turned red and her nude body was jumping about like it was convulsing.

The second:
"...What? What the heck is happening?" "That's a frenzy spirit, Kamito." Est, who was beside him, muttered expressionlessly.

--[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] 06:17, 11 May 2012 (CDT)

Put them on the picture pages as well please. And there are four volumes which have illustrations uploaded here. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 07:56, 11 May 2012 (CDT)

Here... I'll make things easy for you. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 08:16, 11 May 2012 (CDT)

I'll do up to volume 2's illustration, since I'm at the chapter where the last illustration is at. --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] 08:42, 11 May 2012 (CDT)

Oh come now. Translate the others as well, please~. At least then I won't have to come back and keep asking. Besides it's gonna take a while before all of them will be scanlated, cleaning the pics isn't an easy job. Also it won't be spoilers but teasers instead. It'll make people want to read the whole thing more. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 09:26, 11 May 2012 (CDT)

I'll see how, but I've not read that far yet. So, the choice of word might be off due to lack of context. The words might be different when I do the following lines. --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] 19:35, 11 May 2012 (CDT)

I normally keep the PSD files so changing the lines would be very easy. If such a case occured that is. But I don't think it will. Just take a look the lines so far are short sentences. I think the other two volumes are the same. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 22:13, 11 May 2012 (CDT)

== Go Translator! ==

Please continue translate it. I can't read Japan or Chinese --[[User:zerocrack|zerocrack]]

== Volume 6 title: 追憶の闇精霊 = Tsuioku no yami seirei = English? ==

Tsuioku no yami seirei, the ''no'' translates to "of" and the words before and after are switched. So it should be Darkness Spirit of Recollections. In these circumstances, 追憶 (Tsuioku) can also be translated as "reminiscence" or "memories". Furthermore, 闇精霊 (yami seirei) can also be translated as "Dark Spirit", which fits better than Darkness and has a dual meaning, the first being a spirit of the darkness attribute and the second being a spirit with negative thoughts (ie: bloodthirstiness, vengefulness, etc). My suggestion is "Dark Spirit of Reminiscence". I hope the data I gave is helpful. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 02:25, 21 July 2012 (CDT)

Though the best way would be to read the LN volume itself and decide which words fit best. So... I can't really say that my suggestion is the best choice. [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 02:30, 21 July 2012 (CDT)

I don't think '''she''' is dark in that aspect. Actually reminiscence is closer in the emotional sense. But let's say it's "Darkness Spirit of Reminiscence", isn't this awkward? It kind of feels weird. Basically, it's more like The Darkness Spirit in His Reminiscence/Recollection.

Ok, I think I get why it felt weird to me, it's not that the Darkness Spirit was of reminiscence or fill with it. Like a bowl of water in that sense. --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] ([[User_talk:KuroiHikari|Talk]] | ) 03:55, 21 July 2012 (CDT)

Isn't it the title means "The Recollection/Reminiscence of the Dark Spirit", It's not the Dark Spirit who has the recollection. It's most likely "In memories of the Dark Spirit" something. [[User:Black Dust|Black Dust]]

It isn't, that would be 闇精霊の追憶, actually... hmm. The more specific object is the darkness spirit and not the recollection. It's referring to a ''specific'' "darkness spirit" binded by the word "recollection".

Is there a way to bring make "darkness spirit" the subject? --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] ([[User_talk:KuroiHikari|Talk]] | ) 07:01, 21 July 2012 (CDT)

'''Note:''' の (no) translates to "of", '''but''' because the grammar rules are different (or rather opposite) thus "1の2" would translate as "2 of 1" OR you could replace の with''' 's''' making it "1's 2". [[User:Zero2001|Zero2001]] - [[User_talk:Zero2001|Talk]] - 07:31, 21 July 2012 (CDT)

闇精霊の追憶 stands for "Darkness Spirit's Recollection/Reminiscence" as the possessor of the memories or recollections, 追憶の闇精霊 stands for "In Recollection of the Darkness Spirit" which would make the sentence in third party view as the Darkness Spirit is the subject of the news.

Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance:Volume4 Prologue

Black Dust: /* Prologue */

{{Incomplete|pages = 1.5/6}}
== Prologue ==

In the hard solid rock excavated are several layers of overlapping passageways.

The red lotus' flame whirling inside the institution, the young boy is walking alone on it.

A glossy black hair. In the darkness, he would be mistaken dressed in black.

A young girl's unusual facial feature remaining still innocent although, in his deep black pupil there is no emotions of any kind, but in it's inorganic matter, the swaying flame is reflecting.

Many combat skilled worker possess by «Instructional School» institution, whether it is of who was annihilated in that merely half a day --- There's no way that the young boy would know.

The empire's spirit knights, sealed spirit runaway accident.

The young boy who was subjected in combat skilled drilling by instructional teacher, was nowhere to be found.

He has escaped, or, perhaps already dead.

If we assume that, the young boy is unleashed, that he became a free man.

But.

''It's good no matter how, after such a thing...''

A deprive of the boy's mind, who had become indifferent to everything.

There is only one exception, except of '''her'''.

The Dark Spirit Restia --- The institution instructional teacher gave to him, their highest rank sealed spirit.

He's heart which was engulfed in darkness has given light by this girl.

Black Dust: /* Part 2 */

== Chapter 3: Classmate Princess ==
===Part 1===

A stubborn footstep resounds in the academy hallway.

A sleeve uniform has been provided directly to Kamito, following the swaying pony tail while walking.

The uniform, Greyworth prepared was a custom made design for his personal use. The fundamental collar was the same as the other student, a pure white, but the dress under it, certainly not a skirt. The cloth of his pants which was incorporated with holiness was worn nicely like a gentleman.

(Shit, the size is perfect...., She knew it from the very beginning)

Kamito cursed Greyworth in his head.

“The instructor building and the student building were connected in the second floor hallway. The cafeteria is on the first floor”

Guiding him in the school building was the girl of sometime ago, Ellis Fahrengart.

While Kamito was changing into his uniform, Greyworth seems to have appealed to her.

At first, in the broad open has been showing a displeased face, too serious or is it her personality, thrown it away on the way and dutifully continued guide him.

The school building design by random has a complex design, in order to create a comfortable space for the spirit, adopting the standard of the latest spirit engineering architectural style. Without any difficulties, people who are using it can be said has completely ignored the design.

Staring at the swaying hair of Ellis in both sides, Kamito had recalled the earlier conversation. After all, that witch has predicted something he can't ignored ---

Hearing '''that name''' which was mentioned, Kamito left with no other choice.

Ren Arsberg --- suddenly appeared three years ago, The Strongest Blade Play Dancer.

And, that Ren Arsberg Contracted Spirit is ---

'''A summoned spirit in a form of a young girl'''.

"..........."

While walking, Kamito dropped his gaze on his left hand covered with a leather glove.

(.........No, She can't be. because, she is ---)

Kamito shook his head. Trying to deny such possibility --- he was thinking in that time.

(....Well whatever. I’ll make it sure with my own eyes. Now, she was dancing in her climax, that Greyworth)

“You.....”

And, Ellis who was walking in front of him stopped.

Facing him with her hand in her waist, she sternly scowled at Kamito.

“Are you listening or what? It’s for your own good that I’m explaining these things”

“.....um, my bad. I was thinking something”

“Mm, thinking something?”

For what reason, Ellis face became red, and quickly walked.

“Yo, You, are you thinking something lewd behind my back!”

"Wai, Wait, Don't swing your blade in this place!"

Swinging the blade in a point blank range, Kamito quickly avoid it.

(She means it.....this gal!)

Apparently, It's common sense that all the student of this academy has no immunity to man.

Maybe, sometime ago when they are marching walking together, she was being conscious of the fact that Kamito as a man, may have done something to her.

"Pay attention, don’t misunderstand anything! I have never accepted you and there's no way that I'm willing to guide you, I’m just complying Academy Director's Order!"

“Ow, You got it. But, I never considered you as an enemy. That is because, Today you're the same student of this Academy like me”

"I'll never bother to accept you. Such a man as a spirit contractor, There's no way I would accept it!"

Returning in her heels, Ellis began to walk quickly.

"Altogether, Why would the Academy Director would want a man transfer here....."

.......It seems, that he's the type who was always hated.

(Well, it can't be helped. This is my fate as the only man, in this garden of maidens)

It's like a lion has been released in a herd of rabbits.

Naturally, the overly boxed princess would accumulate a sense of wariness with a man in their same age.

The <Spirit Blade Dance Festival> would be held two months later.

Living as a student inside, gradually he would obtained their trust.

(Hmm, yeah. speaking of life)

Suddenly, he became anxious in his mind.

"Hey, Ellis"

“You”

Ellis turned around in a sullen mood.

Before you speak her first name in a friendly manner, should you consider whether she would be angry?

“From today onward, where should I lodge at?”

There was no male dormitory in this academy, and there's no way that he would be given a room in the female dormitory. The academy city they would attend is on the foot of the mountain.

"Don't worry about it, the academy has prepared a lodge in a great cost for you. Especially a part of the donation has been addressed in the construction cost"

"A thorn in a delicate place in a way"

.......Well whatever. It's certainly better than being homeless outside in the <Spirit Forest>.

"It can be seen from this window --- there is it"

Kamito saw Ellis was pointing out.

"....un, where is it?"

Looking around in the vast ground, it seems he can’t find any lodge house there.

"Look well, over there in the corner of the plaza square"

Ellis was pointed to ---

“That’s..... my lodge?”

A splendid building with a large roof.

Spacious than an ordinary residence house, inside it there are many room.

Beside it was a exclusive bathing area. In its entrance, a manger has been piling up there.

"Is, Isn't that a stable!"

Kamito yelled loudly.

"Do you have some bad eyes? Look well"

"Ha?"

(Um, Do I find it strange?)

It was only the stable, he had seen.

No, it was a stable at best. After all they are soothing their horses in that place.

(Wh?)

---And, from there Kamito discovered it.

Next to the stable, A wooden planks which was put together erected there, was actually the lodge.

Here and there, different lengths of planks has been nailed pin down together.

The roof is flaky. A sudden gust of strong wind can demolished such a lodge.

"Ah, maybe --- that one?"

"Yeah"

Ellis single minded continue nodded.

"Where's the splendid lodge! It seems that will not make three days!"

"At three o'clock break. My contracted spirit would disdain it"

"What are you trying to do! I mean, that was built in a high cost, isn't it?"

"High cost. Are you now satisfied, for wasting my time to you?"

“I’m full of dissatisfaction. It was almost a harassment to me”

"There's a proper bed in that thatched roof"

"I having the same treatment that of a horse....."

"Fu, You have a strong sense of pride. It was definitely a horse worthy of care"

The pony tail in her nape is brushing in her shoulder, Ellis cut in the middle of his talk.

Somewhat he wants to cry.

"The restroom? The bath?"

"You can use the back of the lodge as the restroom. It's bad to share a bath"

"Shared bath......with the horses"

Kamito grumble, "Are you complaining?" Ellis scowled at him.

"Look, even one of the thousand, you tried to invade inside the academy's restroom, my contracted spirit would turn you into a sauté mushroom"

"So, You really like to cook?"

"Aa, It's a hobby. Someday an ideal gentleman will take my hands for marriage from cooking, So I'm normally training on it"

"Really, um, by any chance can you cook for me, I'm looking forward to taste it"

"Aa. if there's a chance, I would brag my cooking... um, Who are you should I do it for you!"

Zing - In a flash the blade has been fired, in a paper thin difference Kamito dodge it.

"......You. I would not asked your hands for marriage prior to your cooking ---"

"Uh.........."

In a half eyed closed eye, being self aware, Ellis quickly took away her eyes.

"Another thing, Are you really the leader of the knights which maintains the discipline of this place?"

"Shu, Shut up, Are you implying that it was strange!"

Kamito shrugged his shoulder in relief, then face out into the corridor.

"Let's step aside the dormitory for now. Where's my classroom?"

"The Raven class. Where extraordinary problem child are gathered, a fitting class for you"

"Extraordinary problem child?"

"Just as the meaning of the word. ......uh, Why having a bitter face?"

"No, I have no idea of it"

Kamito remembered in his head, the crimson hair young girl, he encountered inside the forest.

Seriously no way ! --- A stroke of uneasiness, he can't rub away.

"Are you also from the Raven Class?"

Kamito tentatively asked a question.

Enough to brush the phrase "Extraordinary problem child" from the young girl.

"As if.... I'm from the superior class Weasel!"

In an instance, a flash of sword swing.

This time expected from below, the forelocks was slightly been cut.

"....th, the Fahrengart hidden sword skill has been fend off"

"....therefore don't swing naturally to me your hidden sword skill!"

Climbing up in the staircase from the long corridor, Kamito finally saw his classroom.

A large wooden double leaf door with an abstract spirit shape carving was there.

Areishia Spirit Academy classrooms are arrange by a floor apart each other. Because, classroom close to each other, would likely create a duel commotion immediately.

"All the students attending here are princess from noble families. It's their fate from their lineage to be here inside. As a regulation of the academy, personal struggle is prohibited, avoiding an endless pointless duel around"

While sighing, Ellis clasped her fist strongly.

"We the Sylphid Knights will protect this peaceful academy from arbitrators"

"No, the one who is disturbing this peace is You ---"

--- Over the said word. Kamito shuts his own mouth.

In Ellis' side silhouette, there is the deadly clear blade.

He thought that the young girl will immediately twirl the dangerous blade --- the impression change a little.

She possess a pride that of a knight.

The only troubling existence from this academy called, a '''Male Spirit Contractor'''.

From the point of view of the leader of the knights who maintains public moral, Kamito has been discern no more than that.

Despite of it, She has told it neatly face to face to him.

A bit stubborn, an unladylike honest feeling it was.

"....hm, Why are you looking in my face"

Ellis doubtful, frown her eyebrows.

"No, I'm sorry for various teasing sometime ago"

"......? Wh, Why You, suddenly!"

The embarrassed reaction of her face seemed strangely somewhat cute.

===Part 2 ===

Looking inside the large auditorium classroom, no one was there. In this local time, everyone was out. Perhaps they are all training outside in the field training area.

"It's okay so far, I'll hear the rest later from my classmates. Thanks for your guidance."

"Fu, such gratitude is unnecessary. If there is a failure to properly guide you, '''You might deliberately mistake your way''' into the toilet later."

"You really have no faith in me......"

At this comparatively terrible line from the departing Ellis, Kamito let out a deep sigh.

In the tune of the first day, he must strictly gain the trust of his classmates.

While muttering, Kamito stepped into the depopulated classroom.

Then,at that moment. Swoosh, a slash sounded in the air ---

"Gueh!"

A whip forcefully coiled around Kamito's neck.

Being caught by the rough sudden attack, he has been pulled thrown down in the corridor.

(Wh, What!?)

cough* looking around himself while coughing ---

"Kazehaya Kamito!"

Above his head, a familiar young girl's voice descended to him.

......honestly, a voice he doesn't want to hear.

"Y, Yo, You have escaped from me, despite being my contracted spirit!"

"Hugh, ug"

"Defying!"

"Guh!"

Feigning ignorance the blowing shrill of his voice, the thing around his neck tightens.

(This sucks.....)

Thrown down flat in his back, In front of Kamito ---

A blazing red hair beautiful young girl with her folded arms looking down to Kamito.

The blowing winds from the window caused her uniform’s pleated skirt float in the air.

“Claire, You....”

A deep groan of Kamito from his throat.

"What, Do you intend to reason out?"

"No, in this place, I can barely see your panty"

“Wha!”

Claire face blushed then quickly restrain her skirt.

"Pe, Pe, Pe, Pervert~!"

Gogogogogogogogogo......!

A heat haze coming from Claire's body was rising.

No. It was not a heat haze. It was a completely burning Astral Zero's flame.

"It seems, you really want to be turned into cinder, Kamito?"

"Wai, Wait, not yet!"

Kamito felt that his life was seriously in danger, quickly shook his head.

"Black is to early for you"

"...............gu!"

Strike* --- then Claire's whole body solidify.

From her neck to the tip of her ears, it was boiling in deep red ---

"It, It's not black! It is always white, black is....rarely, are you trying to say, I'm an idiot!"

fwump*. .......it seems overheat.

In her pair of weakness, she collapses in that place.

Overly boxed into an ideal priestess was her great weakness.

.......Although, She is a really good spirit contractor.

"Uugh, it had been seen twice...... I can't be someone's bride anymore"

With her both knees on the floor, Claire is weeping in gloominess.

......Somewhat, it was an astounding worse emotion.

"My bad....dont cry, ok?"

Kamito stands up then approaches her, Claire glare to him.

.....Frightening. A line of sight that can burn a person.

She wipe her tears with her uniform sleeve, then clench tightly her leather whip.

"Kazehaya Kamito"

"Wh, What?"

"I, I'm quite generous, so I'll give you one chance to explain"

Hidden within her obviously shaking voice was her frightful tone.

........Extremely angry.

"Sometime ago, Why do you escaped?"

"No, It's common sense that I would think escaping"

Kamito unintentionally reply immediately.

An answer --- from his regrets.

"......I got it. There's only death for a fugitive slave"

"Wa, Wait, Calm down. From a spirit I have become a slave!"

"Slave, You're my '''slave spirit'''!"

"A new species of a born spirit, yet to be announced by the Spirit Research Agency"

Incidentally in the large harmonious <Spirit Forest>, there are species of spirit yet to be found out.

"Ch, Cheeky slave --- No, a slave spirit isn't it!"

"Uwah, I gi.....give, give up, seriously I'll die!"

Forcefully the thing in his neck ruthlessly tightens, and his consciousness was likely to jump about.

(The knight group, what are they doing! A murder was about to happen inside the academy!)

Looking around in the corridor with no sign of any student.

"By the way ---"

Then, gathering up in Claire's face a rather displease mood.

"Sometime ago, you are speaking with the knight group's Ellis Fahrengart, '''you seems getting along well with her'''. What does that mean?"

"*cough, the thing you saw that seems we are getting along together? She was just guiding me"

"Guide? Why?"

"Because today, I have specially transferred into this academy"

"Ha?..... You have transferred? Here at Areishia Spirit Academy?"

Claire spread open her eyes, then look into Kamito's uniform figure, she just notice lately.

"No way....because you are a man!"

"Aa. But, you have seen me contracted a spirit"

Kamito shown his shaking right hand where the spirit carved seal was imprinted.

"I'm a '''male spirit contractor'''. It's Greyworth, the one who called me was to blame"

"........"

Therefore, Claire ---

Lost in thought, put her finger in her cherry colored lips.

"Really, what........a transfer student......"

pfft* pfft* a solitary laugh immerse from her.

(......this gal is quiet mature, even though she was usually a cute young girl)

And, while staring at her face, Kamito think such thing.

Claire suddenly raised her face, then turned around from him.

"Um, because you are in this place, perhaps, you are also a Raven class?"

"Yeah. .....come to think of it. You have the same class"

"Yeah. I'm also a Raven class!"

Imaginably Claire, end it with a cheerful voice. Somehow seems awfully happy.

Also in negligence, involuntarily she has a smiling face.

"Say, since it has been put that way, I'll give you another chance Kamito"

"What chance?"

"Contract. Without a doubt, this time become my exclusive contracted spirit Kamito"

"Wh, Why me, should be the one to do that"

"Fu, It's natural! because, You have stole my spirit"

Bending her unfortunate breast, Claire pointed her index finger in his front eyes.

As always, has an arrogant reason.

(......An annoying gal)

Kamito is really quite irritated. Particularly with no gratitude, for saving her life, he has been called in a way as a thief.

--- He doesn't want to be scold by this arrogant princess.

"Okay. I'll bind a spirit contract with you, alright"

Helplessly, Kamito purposely nod his head.

"........eh? um, so, at last you have finally become obedient"

She thought that he would be more resistant. In the unexpected response, Claire as though quite bewilder nodded.

"In case ---"
[[Image:STnBD_V01_088.jpg|Slowly, Kamito raised Claire's chin by his fingertip. |thumb]]
Slowly, Kamito raised Claire's chin by his fingertip.

"Ha?, wha, wha, what are you doing?"

"Doing, a spirit contract? a high level humanoid spirit contract..... you understand?"

"A......."

Claire face froze.

A high level humanoid contract.

In short, It was ---

"'''A contract by kiss''', isn't it?"

Kamito said it, and Claire's face blushed in red.

"Uh, not, to that extent --- you don't have to, I mean, that"

In a panicky irritably temper, shakes her head furiously.

"Eve, Even without any such formality, I don't mind...."

"Are you scared?"

"I, I'm not particularly scared! um, but, that......"

"Don't, worry"

Shorten the distance of his body into Claire's ear, Kamito whisper teasing her.

"Eh, quite......obscene!?"

(.......Seriously, I don't have such an absolute tolerance)

Such a cute reaction, would want to bully.

Bring closer slowly into his face her thin cherry color lips.

"Um, sorry, I apologize......so.....forgive me"

"Too late ---"

"Su, such contract!"

Claire gives up then closes her eyes.

(An obedient gal.....)
