{{status:Incomplete 1/2|comments=Cause I said so. :)}}

After walking out of the hall of Suiko University of the Arts, a warm autumn breeze passed by.

Sorata, who was in his full suit, gently loosened his tie and gazed upon the dazzling sky.

It was a blue and clear sky.

Clouds that were like cotton candy floated by.

Gentle sunlight.

Because of the soothing sunshine, the Sakura trees have blossomed a week earlier than usual.

At the front of the hall used for the graduation ceremony, the beautiful Yoshino Sakura flowers bloomed as well.

There isn't a weather more suitable for graduations.

There were students taking memorial pictures everywhere.

The boys were dressed in formal suits, while the girls wore prominent kimonos.

Exactly like how a university graduation scene should be.

After graduating from Suiko, the 22 year old Sorata was peacefully welcoming his graduation days.

“Sorata-senpai~!”

After hearing his name being called out, he naturally looked for the owner of the voice.

He saw Iori, waving his hands; running towards him from the boulevard.

A white shirt that was suitable for autumn, along with black jeans. The hem of the shirt was hanging out. Sorata noticed the headphones hanging from his head after he came closer.

“You came specially to congratulate me?”

“I, have finally found the truth. I must say it no matter what.”

He didn’t look like he was here for congratulations.

“Oppai that are far away are not better off than pettanko that are near.”

Suiko students that were walking back and forth from the halls were all like ‘What is Iori saying.’ Even Sorata felt suspicious eyes staring at him. Sorata really hoped that he could stop it. Even the girl with short hair beside him shot a nasty look and backed off from him.

“Man… What dumb things are you saying?”

Sorata stuck his hand out and whole-heartedly pinched Iori’s face, making it seem stretched.
“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Wha-what are you doing!”

The person who came over was Kanna.

She was in a light-looking shirt with a short skirt.

Her legs were wrapped in black tights, and she wore boots that were slightly higher than her ankle. Kanna shot unhappy looks to Iori through the glasses of her spectacacles.

But even after this, she still said,

“Congratulations on graduating.”

“Thank you. Looks like Iori and Kanna are still like usual eh.”

Both are currently students of the Suiko University of the Arts.

They are going to be third-years starting from next month.

Kanna enrolled in the Literature department.

As a novelist, she continued writing novels. Iori didn’t enrol in the music department, instead enrolling into the Games SFX section in the Media Arts department, manipulating original soundtracks and training up on his DTM skills. (Trans note: DTM, or Digital Terrain Model. Check wiki for more info.)

“What do you mean, ‘as usual’?”

Kanna shot her cold eyes towards Sorata.

“Meaning good relationship.”

“Not at all.”

Kanna said flatly.

“No, it’s very good. Extremely good. Really.”

Iori’s view was completely the opposite.

“Not at all.”

Although it looks like this on the surface, the two were in fact dating.

The two began dating starting from their third year during high school.

Although Kanna seemed to have set conditions for, Iori whose feelings did not weaver for two years.

--If you win at the Japanese National Piano Competition, I’ll go out with you

Sorata attended the competition as well, and saw Iori’s recital attract standing ovations. It was indeed a spectacular performance.

Sorata met Iori’s sister Saori by coincidence.

“Even I never did receive an applause like that eh.”

Saori said with a tad bit of exaggeration. She might have returned to Japan temporarily from her overseas study in Australia. Together with Saori stood the previous Student Council President, Soichiro Tatebayashi.

“Is it regret?” He coldly said.

From Saori’s speechless stare at Soichiro, one could tell that this was not a baseless accusation.

“I do not feel that achieving first is always a target. A wonderful performance cannot be equated with a performance that can grasp a person’s heart.”

The meaning behind those words could only be understood after listening to Iori’s recital.

The Iori who even after fracturing his arm, announced that he would be facing another challenge again.

Beautifully completing his determination, Iori performed not as [Himemiya’s brother], but showed the audience his own performance. Furthermore, he was also surrounded by warm applauses.

Judging from the results, it was still a pity that he did not win…

A frustrating defeat.

“My youth is over…”

The Iori who had lost the chance to go out with Kanna was absolutely depressed.

“I don’t wanna do anything anymore. If only I could disappear from the surface of the Earth this moment…”

Burned to absolute nothingness.

The Kanna who saw that decided, “Haiz… Ok. Let’s go out.” Though it had a forceful feel to it, both of them started their relationship.

To think that two years have already passed like this.

“Looks like it is going successfully, I’m happy oh.”

Sorata poked at them with a jesting tone.

“Because there isn’t a satisfying man around, I’m temporarily using him to make up for it.”

Kanna’s tsundere side was still in tact.

“Ehhh, I’m also making up with your flat chest eh.”

“Iori I remembered that you said something along the lines of ‘something far away is not as good as something near, something something ’?”

“Can you stop repeating those unclassy words?” Kanna glared at him with cold eyes.

“Ah, speaking of which, are you not together with Ryuunosuke-senpai?” Iori clearly shifted the topic.

As though he was afraid of being reprimanded by Kanna.

“Un? I thought Akasaka said that he was going to attend the graduation ceremony?”

“This morning before Sorata-senpai left, Rita-senpai came to fetch him as well. After which, she forcefully dragged DRAGON-senpai away.”

“Was it like that?”

At this moment, Sorata, Ryuunosuke and Iori was living together as a group of three. After graduating from Suiko, Sorata and Ryuunosuke rented an old building not far away from university, and used it as their development lab.

A place which was across the other side of the University from Sakurasou. Although it was on the same street, at least the scenery was different by a tad. For a fresh start, this was considered okay.

The Iori who had planned to enrol in Suiko University of The Arts started living there as well.

Over at the side on game production, although there were all sorts of difficulties, it has been going well successfully.

The dream Sorata had to establish a game production company before Iori arrived in year two was achieved as well.

The three-man team consisted of Sorata, Ryuunosuke and Iori.

If there was a lack of members, every time when a new project started, they would beg Rita and Misaki, and the Fukaya Shiho from the University’s CG production course to take charge.

“I’ll go look for DRAGON-senpai!”

“Ah, wait!”

The rushing Iori disappeared amongst the crowd of graduating students.

Kanna chased after Iori after slightly nodding to Sorata.

“You can use the phone...”

Sorata mumbled towards the two who have disappeared. He took out his cellphone from his pocket.

“…”

But there was no reply, so he put it back into his pocket.

After detailed considerations, Sorata realised there was no need to meet up exclusively with the Ryuunosuke he is seeing everyday.

Even if it was not like that, we promised to meet each other after today. A meeting with buddies who went through the same times together, at Sakurasou.

Sorata, Ryuunosuke, Iori, Kanna, Misaki, Jin, Nanami, Chihiro, and Mashiro.

There were many friends that he met frequently as well. If they entered the same university, even if they were not taking the same course, they would meet somewhere like the canteen. However, there were also circumstances whereby they did not contact each other for months.

In this four years, Sorata did not meet with Mashiro once.

But he would always get updated on the latest happenings from Rita who was staying nearby Sakurasou.

“…”

Once he thought of meeting Mashiro, he was extremely nervous. To focus his attention, Sorata started to exit from the halls.

To avoid the chaos, he took the boulevard.

Sorata decided to exit from the main entrance, with Sakurasou as his destination.

Shortly after he departed, he found many people under the Beech trees.

Was something going on? Sorata looked while bearing these thoughts.

Looks like people were crowding around a couple who were confronted with.

He had wanted to ignore it, but it looked like he could not. In the midst of the crowd was faces he knew…Ryuunosuke and Rita.

Sorata had no choice but to mix in with the crowd to have a look at the situation.

The Ryuunosuke who was in a suit was rare. His slender legs hinted his slim figure. Because of his naturally neutral face along with black hair, it almost looks like he was crossdressing, but…

Not only was Ryuunosuke eye-catching, the Rita standing in front of him stood out amongst the crowd as well.

She had shinning gold hair, and wore a green sleeve that brought along a hint of pink.

“I’m going back to England next week.”

Rita announced sternly.

“I know. I’ve heard this numerous times starting from a few months ago.”

“We might not be able to meet up as frequently as now anymore.”

“To me it should be something worth celebrating.”

“I’m really going back to England, ok?”

“So?”

Ryuunosuke replied coldly.

“No matter what, you won’t go out with me?”

“Yeah. I’ve said it numerous times already.”

Rita looked down gloomily after hearing his reply.

“…I understand. I will give up on Ryuunosuke.”

Her reply was filled with sadness.

“So, I have a final request.”

“I refuse.”

“If you could kiss me right here, right now, I will give up on you.”

“Absolutely refused!”

“Why?”

“How many times do you want me to listen to your “last request”!? There were forty-eight of those request during the last four years!”

Ever since he was admitted into university, it happened once a month.

And every time Ryuunosuke would be forced to shop with Rita, forced to give her a birthday present, visit the Zoo, the Art Musuem…

They were already a famous couple amongst the cohort. Most likely all of them already think of them as a couple going out with each other.

“It will really be the last today.”

“Even that, I’ll still refuse.”

“Why?”

“I-In front of so many people. H-How can I do something like kissing!”

“So you’ll agree if there was nobody around!”

Rita interpreted his words from a positive viewpoint.

“That’s not what it means!”

“Then let’s go to the recording studio. There won’t be anyone there right, plus the soundproofing is perfect!”

The Rita who was in good mood hugged Ryuunosuke’s arm tightly. Tightly in front of her chest.

“Uuahh! L-Let go of me!”

The panicking Ryuunosuke wanted to retract his body, but it was already too late. Sorata entered Ryuunosuke’s plain of view.

“Ah, Kanda! Don’t just crowd around, come save me!”

“Frankly speaking, my view is that everything can be solved if you stop going out with her, right?”

It was from the bottom of his heart. There was also a basis for this thought. Sorata was the only one who knew of Ryuunosuke’s honest feelings. They also discussed on this topic previously.

“Ne, Akasaka…what do you honestly think of Rita?”

It was not long after when the company was established.

“Nothing much.”

“You were so enthusiastically approached to. It can’t be that you dislike it? Although she is a little wilful, she still is a beauty, and her personality isn’t bad at all, right?”

“She’s extremely kinky with me right now.”

“What happened?”

“…Currently we are in an extremely important phrase of establishing the company. I cannot be focused on anything other than game production. If you have a method to focus on two things simultaneously, please do enlighten me.”

“…”

Sorata could not reply. Since it was also because of that that he broke up with Mashiro.

Only that he could fully understand how Ryuunosuke felt at that moment.

Somehow he felt that it was because of time that it became like that, but it also felt that Rita would be going on the offensive soon.

“See, even Sorata said so. Go out with me!”

“Stop spouting nonsense! Enough, let go of me!”

Ryuunosuke struggled desperately.

But, he was once again clinched onto like chopsticks by Rita.

“Ahhhh…Eh, Ryuunosuke, stop touching me at weird spots in public.”

“!”

Most likely sensing the soft feeling of breasts from his hands, Ryuunosuke blushed instantly.

It looked like steam was going to appear soon.

“Ah, right, Sorata.” Rita looked at Sorata as though she remembered something.

“Un?”

“About that, although it’s hard for me to say it…”

Rita’s volume decreased clearly.

“What?”

“Mashiro…She won’t be coming today.”

“…” In that instant, Sorata’s mouth was wide agape and he could not say anything.

“…I see.” He finally managed to squeeze something out.

“I looks like she is busy with her Manga sketches…”

“After all the next chapter is the final one.” The current Mashiro was an extremely popular Mangaka. Since serializing her Manga from from then, she won several awards from famous Manga Awards, and had her manga released in Anime, Drama and Cinematic format.

No matter what she was popular.

The cumulative number of sold books broke through a thousand, and it was even written on the flap of the tenth volume. As a young female mangaka that was a powerful figure.

Furthermore, that popular manga series by her also had a serialization spanning five and a half years. It will be ending soon during the April instalment of the magazine. It was no wonder that she was busy. It must be the most intensive period of her work.

“Although I was hoping that she would at least show herself for a short while…”

“It’s ok. Thanks, Rita.”

It was not that Mashiro was avoiding Sorata on purpose. It was just that she wanted to put in her all for her work. Four years have already passed. It was only that…Even though they lived on the same street, that wasn’t even a chance to meet her once in a blue moon.

There was this time when he saw Mashiro’s silhouette along with Rita when they were buying something, but although the distance was considered near, Sorata missed the chance to greet Mashiro as due to business reasons, he had to speak with Fujisawa Kazuki on the phone.

“Well then. Sorata, we’ll meet later.” Rita forcefully dragged Ryuunosuke away.

“Enough, let go already!”

“If I don’t do this we’ll be separated due to the crowd, right?”

“Even if we were separated, I can find you immediately because of your golden hair!”

After which, Ryuunosuke let out a whine while being dragged away by Rita.

After watching them leave, somebody greeted them.

“Looks like Ryuunosuke and Rita’s relationship is also going well.”

“Un?”

Sorata saw Nanami standing there after rotating his head. Nanami wore a deep green kimono, with light blue sleeves. There were also cherry blossom patterns inlaid on her kimono, as though a stream was slowly flowing through. <-- Need some help with this part -->

“Ohh.” Sorata could not hold in how touched he was.

“W-What?”

Nanami was alerted after witnessing Sorata’s reaction.

“As expected, if one wanted to wear a kimono she should look like this.”

“What.”

“For the sake of discussion, it can be said that Rita’s kimono dressing can only be COSPLAY.”

Those blue eyes coupled with golden hair.

Absolutely did not work well together with the impression given off by a kimono.

Sorata’s plain of view stopped naturally at Nanami’s tied hair.

Her hair seemed to have grown longer during these four years, as compared to the short hair before he graduated from Suiko.

“Your hair, you grew it.”

“Kanda-kun, you would say that every time we meet.”

Maybe that was because he did not meet the Nanami who was in a different course for a few months.

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

As though hinting “Is there nothing else you want to say”, Nanami unpleasantly pouted.

The two naturally started strolling together side by side.

Because there were group photos being taken almost everywhere, it was obstructive to remain in their original location.

“How is it going for your job being a seiyuu?”

“I’m starting small.”

“Starting small heh.”

“Even though I participated in numerous selection trials at the agency, I could not get many recognisable character roles…”

“The competition sure is tough.”

“It’s a fact that although there is only a single role, there are a few hundred contestants.”

It seemed like even after she entered an agency things were not going well, but was it because of the fact that she got contracted to an agency that things are not going well?

“But I will not give up.”

Nanami looked elated.

“I’m going to give my best shot at acting for Girl A tomorrow.”

“That is also not a bad job.”

“Un… What about you Kanda-kun. How is the company doing?”

“Well, we’re trying to keep it going, though we frequently get headaches when we bump into developing fees.

One wrong step and it will ruin a small company’s future. We have to handle the management side meticulously. Even though some ideas might be interesting, we cannot delve into it brainlessly. We have to confront the schedule and budget tables every day.

“But Kanda-kun is still happy even going through all that right?”

“Eh?”

“Your facial expression, you’re smiling.”

After being pointed out to, Sorata stiffened his face.

Nanami laughed in a weird manner.

“It’s already been two years since the establishment of your company heh.”

“Yeah.”

“It’s so fast, all in the blink of an eye.”

The reason why her words could inject a sense of realiaty into Sorata was because the two years should have also been two very special years to Nanami.

“I’m already twenty-two. It feels a little unbelievable.”

“Yeah. Back when we were in high school, we thought that we’d become like adults past twenty, but it seemed like nothing had changed when we really become at age.”

“Although I feel that Kanda-kun had become a lot more mature.”

“Really?”

“I’m the one that did not really change much.”

“Aoyama is the one that matured greatly.”

“Really?”

Nanami looked back. She had neat eyebrows and eyelashes. She did not apply make-up when she was in Suiko, but did so after entering university.

Nanami had started to wear high-heels with a certain length, and it felt that her legs had slimmed down quite a fair bit. Although it was somewhat a pity that it could not be confirmed as she was wearing a Kimono.

Other areas were different as well. Sorata did not know when it started, but the both of them can have a natural conversation now. It wasn’t any special reason, but just that time had diluted her feelings for Sorata.

According to Rita, Nanami had bumped into Mashiro as well. They would usually have a hot pot party once a month together with Misaki and Kanna.

It was not the same when compared to those times when they were together living at Sakurasou, but the minute hand on the clock indicated that it was indeed fresh memories that they left behind during these parties.

“Ah, I have to look for Chihiro-sensei for the keys to Sakurasou.”

When they were almost at the university entrance, Nanami took a turn into Suiko high’s dormitory.

“Well then, I should go as well. Since I’m bored.”

“Kanda-kun should probably greet Mitaka-senpai and Misaki-senpai first…Or put it another way you should look for her to prevent her from doing any weird things. How do I put this...Last week when I bumped into her she even said that she wanted to have a fireworks exhibition to celebrate.”

Indeed it felt like something Misaki would do. Something this extreme totally seemed like her style.

“I got it, if I can stop her I will.”

Although if Sorata remembered carefully, there were no traces of memories that he had successfully prevented Misaki ever before.

“Well then, we shall meet again.”

Sorata waved and parted with Nanami temporarily.

“Well then, be on your way.”

Sorata walked along the roads that led to Sakurasou.

He should have been very useddd to walking this path, but during the four years after he graduated from Suiko, the road now as compared to then seemed a tad bit different in his memories.

The uneven road was flattened, and new houses were built. There were even high class condominiums that he had never seen before.

What should have been an unchanged scenery also injected into Sorata a subtle sense of intrusion.

When he passed the children’s playground, he saw a familiar couple.

“Oh, Kouhai-kun!”

“Eh? Why are you guys here?”

They were still walking in another area despite having promised to meet up at Sakurasou awhile afterwards.

“We went to the convenience stores to shop. According to Chihiro’s request, I have to buy an adequate amount of beer.”

“Even Himemiya is twenty huh.” (TL Note: 20 is the legal age of an adult, and to drink beer in Japan)

The Jin who had graduated a year earlier than Sorata from the university in Osaka had returned to the same street. He is now living in the amazingly built house with his wife Misaki, and the two cats that Sorata once kept happily ever after.

If it was Misaki, she probably have not ‘graduated’ even after she had.

“I am forever a female graduate!”

= Translation stuff =
'''All translation- related questions go here. Thx.'''

thank you for starting NGNL...wanna ask ganna do all volume 5 or some parts of it.
:me too, want to thank you for translating NGNL vol 5, I was really curious about how the arc will end.I hope you will translate it completely

Probably gonna do all of it, but I suck at formatting/editing so the prologue isn't uploaded yet. Was originally gonna help out of volume 4 but I was afraid of offending the previous translator so I just let it be and started on volume 4. Prologue of Vol. 5 should be up by today though - Venis

:Lol, you can go ahead and translate chapters of Volume 4, as long as you register it in the registration page first. ;) they say the two translators per volume rule only applies to popular series like SAO so our volumes can have 3 translators. Thanks for translating the V5 prologue. I read it and it's really long compared to the other volumes. [[User:Maine12329|Maine12329]] ([[User talk:Maine12329|talk]]) 07:28, 25 May 2014 (CDT)

::Yeah I was like holy shit, the prologue is longer than chapter 1 in terms of size lol. Also the deep philosophical sections are really hard to comprehend/translate. Thanks anyway for clearing up my confusion regarding translating Volume 4. (No Game No Life isn't popular yet? ;_;) [[User:Venis|Venis]] ([[User talk:Venis|talk]]) 09:20, 25 May 2014 (CDT)

so are you going to complete kagerou days all 5 volumes or just 1 volume before moving back to :/ NGNL ([[User:kakaroet|kakaroet|talk]])

:Good question. And I'm pretty free... So... why not both? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) -[[User:Venis|Venis]]

Hello Venis, thanks for your translations, you've really made some progress in the few weeks you've been around. Just some points of discussion on the project conventions (relevant to your recent post on Takoyakiinator talk page): I believe there is no actual requirement that translators list themselves in the "project staff" section, their name next to the chapter on the registration page is the only thing required. Also, the "2 week" rule is designed to remove people that have gone MIA and no longer come around BT. As such, the translator only has to reply that they are still working on it within two weeks to preserve their registration; they do not need to finish their translation within two weeks. Of course, you can always politely ask if they mind you taking over their translations; often times the translator will reply that they do not mind. Regards, --[[User:Cthaeh|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh|talk]]) 07:11, 8 June 2014 (CDT)

:Thanks a lot for that explanation. But still I think the messages I've posted on the other translators' walls carry just about the same meaning? Also for those that have already done some work I also stated that they can replace my translations at any time within two weeks, I don't really mind. Just that I was rather impatient at getting Kagerou Days completely approved. So anyway, essentially as long as there's no response within two weeks I get the all-clear right? Thanks again for all that, I'm really new here so please forgive me if I've done anything wrong. -[[User:Venis|Venis]] ([[User talk:Venis#top|talk]]) 07:15, 8 June 2014 (CDT)

If you're thinking about taking on a new project, would you consider Hataraku Maou-Sama or Hyouketsu Kyoukai no Eden--
[[User:AnimeFan9001|AnimeFan9001]] ([[User talk:AnimeFan9001|talk]]) 15:07, 19 June 2014 (CDT)

::Well first I need to watch those. I...er...haven't...watched or read... them. heh. heh. heh. don't kill me pls. But jokes aside I'm gonna focus on working on NGNL for now -[[User:Venis|Venis]] ([[User talk:Venis#top|talk]]) 23:40, 19 June 2014 (CDT)

:::Hmm, yes, if you want to focus on it, it sure is better that way. More content on a series that already has translators is more satisfying that trying from scratch for a teaser project to reach full status (Talking about Hataraku Maou-sama). But you should consider it, since you would then have 2 projects that YOU brought to full status! That'd be amazing, wouldn't it? Other than that, everything is up to you, and thank you for your services. [[User:Daxter|Daxter]] ([[User talk:Daxter|talk]]) 07:53, 20 June 2014 (CDT)

Venis, just one question. What is up with your signature being plastered all over the NGNL V5 Ch2? I have found it 3 times a bit after halfway through, interrupting sentences or even words. I took the liberty of removing them, but, was there any reason for them being there? Or was it a simple mistake? If there was a reason, please go ahead and undo the changes. [[User:Daxter|Daxter]] ([[User talk:Daxter|talk]]) 04:17, 21 July 2014 (CDT)

Just one question: In Volume 5 Chapter 2 Part 10, it was stated that Jibril killed 19 giants with others and one herself. She also helped to take down three "Fairies" and killed one herself. So I would like to know if it is a mistranslation, because the Fairies have lower rank in the Exceeds than the Elves ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Game_No_Life#The_Ranking_of_the_16_Races Reference]) and they hung the heads of the Fairies on the humongous tree. So I would like to ask, if they were really Fairies or if it is another race like the Dragonia (which I would believe more likely). If I misunderstood something, I'm very sorry. - Newton 21:59, 21 July 2014

:Well, assuming there isn't a mistake on the translation, I would say that, as has been mentioned, Exceed ranking goes according to magic affinity. That means that "how hard it is to kill something" does not necessarily align with the ranking. Perhaps (assuming that Fairies are ranked 8th) they are an opponent more formidable than other races, due to some special characteristic. I mean, considering how Werebeasts can actually physically surpass the corresponding physical capabilities of the last and most powerful Flugel ever made, while standing on a mere 14th rank, a whole 8 ranks below, I believe that a race that is even more aligned to magical properties than elves (being ranked lower because of lack of spell combinations, while keeping raw force perhaps, as is implied by their name corresponding to pure magical beings in our world) actually CAN be made to be a formidable opponent.
:All these are assumptions though. Do not trust my words, wait for translation of the next volumes for answers, or for a translator who makes my statement completely unnecessary by stating it was a mistake. [[User:Daxter|Daxter]] ([[User talk:Daxter|talk]]) 17:01, 21 July 2014 (CDT)

:::::Thanks for the answer. Also Daxter: I know that the Exceed ranking doesn't say much about their difficulty in defeating them. But if you think about the fact that the Flugel can split the ocean with 5% of their power and kill thousand elves without any problem (Ok, I know that Jibril is one of the strongest in Flugel race, but this shows that they have a lot of power when they have no restriction), but yeah you're right, I shouldn't underestimate other race. so thanks. - Newton 23:42, 21 July 2014

Do you have a rough idea of when volume 5 chapter 3 will be released? I'm not trying to add pressure or anything, I know you're really busy. If the release still has a ways to go, then I'll know that I should repress my short-term hype and go into cryosleep or something... Please don't ban me from the internet for asking. ;_;

You seem to be pretty unlucky since everything you do gets licensed. If you're looking to pick something else along with Henneko when you have time to spare, might I suggest the Monogatari series. The current state of it is kind of depressing, and it'll be a cold day in hell when that gets licensed. [[User:Unlucky|Unlucky]] ([[User talk:Unlucky|talk]]) 12:33, 30 August 2014 (CDT)

Hi, thanks for your translation of NGNL. I want to know if you can't just make a blog for translate it, like solitarytranslation for DanMachi and so... It's really a good novel and it's a shame to stop it just because it's licensed (it will take many years for catch up the 6volumes released). ~Natsume~ 30 August 2014

:Definitely. I'm kinda unhappy about this licensing business since it'll probably never come to certain countries like mine (Malaysia) or at the very least it will take a long time, not to mention the time they'll spend getting everything up to date. Not sure if I'm actually allowed to talk about matters like this here though, but thanks for the encouragement! -[[User:Venis|Venis]] ([[User talk:Venis#top|talk]]) 09:05, 31 August 2014 (CDT)

No Problem ! I hope you'll create a blog like other translator and continue the translation of NGNL. Good Luck with you finals. ~Natsume~ 07 August 2014

Seeing that you have started to translate Sakurasou, I think that you should know that the appointed translator for v5 ch3 (which is 2/3 done) and the author's notes from same volume has been banned from B-T, so perhaps you should consider translating the missing third of that chapter.--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]])

:Good to know. Thanks for the tip. -[[User:Venis|Venis]] ([[User talk:Venis#top|talk]]) 06:54, 12 November 2014 (CST)

From Sakurasou vol 5 ch 5: "Six days had passed since Valentine's Day, which means it was the twenty-second of February" As far as I know, St. Valentine's day falls on February 14th and was said in the previous chapter to be a Monday. If this is a Saturday, then it has to be February <b>19th, 5</b> days later (6 days later would be Sunday, February 20th and the 22th would fall on Tuesday, which is not a weekend, and be 8 days later).--[[User:Kemm|Kemm]] ([[User talk:Kemm|talk]])

Just fyi, I'm 99% sure the only reason Kagerou days hasn't been updated to full project is because none of the wiki admins have noticed, or had the free time to add it to the sidebar. Once 1 volume is complete, which is true here, there aren't many reasons why it wouldn't be upgraded; and none of those few would apply here. So I don't think you need to be paranoid (re your user page). If you wanted to try to speed it up, one thing you could try is to follow the link on this [https://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Help:Administration_Contact_Page page] and post to make it more likely one of the admins notices, though it's still not a guarantee. --[[User:Cthaeh|Cthaeh]] ([[User talk:Cthaeh|talk]]) 08:07, 9 June 2014 (CDT)

Fairly new to BT and already seeing the quality abyss, huh? Not a bad rant. Though, in my book quality doesn't reach it's peak with correct English, but it's better than nothing.

::In the sense of, "And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." - you might actually really think the editing's great just because you haven't come to know anything better and as you're reading the, unquestionable, crap that you might come across here more often than not, start to deem it "okay"; and in the end, you'll end up to be one of those who write crap. Drama fin. :P And besides, you can count those who aren't newbs here on one hand, I don't think idle time alone qualifies to not count as one. =D Oh, I haven't really read the translations or anything, so these are all just assumptions, I've given up on reading here.

Hi,

Kagerou Daze has been announced as licensed by Yen Press early today. Thus, there won't be any new content for a volume with less than 50% done, as per policy. Any translated content will be deleted 2 months before volume 1 gets out at the latest, though it might be before that. Just wanted to drop a word on this subject.

Magykalman: /* "Leaves a lot to be desired." part of my comment */

=='''Sakurasou'''==

Erm, hi. Magykalman here. Recently I was either pretty high at the party or smoked weed, I decided to (re)start translating Sakurasou. Thank you for the edit but may I ask what this "Leaves a lot to be desired." means? If I am not good enough you can always help us to translate, or tell me the reason why I'm so horrible (which I admit) at translating so that I can improve. Maybe? Thank you for your time. --[[User:Magykalman|Magykalman]]

== "Leaves a lot to be desired." part of my comment ==

That comment was for the edit that I've made. I felt like I made a mistake in my edit even though, grammatically, I knew I didn't. There are also some things I didn't touch for I felt that correcting how it's written (thinking that you translated it as you've read it) would kill how the atmosphere was set by Kamoshida-sensei.

Nothing against you, I think that you're an adequate translator in my opinion. A couple things that you could consider improving upon is the use of articles, recognition of nuances, when use or when not to use punctuations, and proofreading your work; relative to the work you're translating/translated (since editors, most if not all of the time, make edits based on grammar fundamentals rather than original work). Recognition of nuances comes with reading what you're about to translate at least twice. The ongoing debate of Nuance vs Grammar is a pain in the a**; and it will always be. -Conanbdetective

Hi then I am sorry if I misunderstood the comment. I want to at least finish the final chapter for (I hope)the existing Sakurasou fans, so I decided to take some more (cocaine)and translate it. Thank you for your advice and I shall take it to heart. I understand what you mean, naunce vs grammar in sense that it is a pain, and can never be solved. Again, sorry for misunderstanding, and thank you for editing my crappy work. --[[user:Magykalman||Magykalman]]

Magykalman: zz

{{status:Incomplete 1/2|comments=Cause I said so. :)}}

After walking out of the hall of Suiko University of the Arts, a warm autumn breeze passed by.

Sorata, who was in his full suit, gently loosened his tie and gazed upon the dazzling sky.

It was a blue and clear sky.

Clouds that were like cotton candy floated by.

Gentle sunlight.

Because of the soothing sunshine, the Sakura trees have blossomed a week earlier than usual.

At the front of the hall used for the graduation ceremony, the beautiful Yoshino Sakura flowers bloomed as well.

There isn't a weather more suitable for graduations.

There were students taking memorial pictures everywhere.

The boys were dressed in formal suits, while the girls wore prominent kimonos.

Exactly like how a university graduation scene should be.

After graduating from Suiko, the 22 year old Sorata was peacefully welcoming his graduation days.

“Sorata-senpai~!”

After hearing his name being called out, he naturally looked for the owner of the voice.

He saw Iori, waving his hands; running towards him from the boulevard.

A white shirt that was suitable for autumn, along with black jeans. The hem of the shirt was hanging out. Sorata noticed the headphones hanging from his head after he came closer.

“You came specially to congratulate me?”

“I, have finally found the truth. I must say it no matter what.”

He didn’t look like he was here for congratulations.

“Oppai that are far away are not better off than pettanko that are near.”

Suiko students that were walking back and forth from the halls were all like ‘What is Iori saying.’ Even Sorata felt suspicious eyes staring at him. Sorata really hoped that he could stop it. Even the girl with short hair beside him shot a nasty look and backed off from him.

“Man… What dumb things are you saying?”

Sorata stuck his hand out and whole-heartedly pinched Iori’s face, making it seem stretched.
“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Wha-what are you doing!”

The person who came over was Kanna.

She was in a light-looking shirt with a short skirt.

Her legs were wrapped in black tights, and she wore boots that were slightly higher than her ankle. Kanna shot unhappy looks to Iori through the glasses of her spectacles. < --Pretty redundant, but still.-- >

But even after this, she still said,

“Congratulations on graduating.”

“Thank you. Looks like Iori and Kanna are still like usual eh.”

Both are currently students of the Suiko University of the Arts.

They are going to be third-years starting from next month.

Kanna enrolled in the Literature department.

As a novelist, she continued writing novels. Iori didn’t enrol in the music department, instead enrolling into the Games SFX section in the Media Arts department, manipulating original soundtracks and training up on his DTM skills. (Trans note: DTM, or Digital Terrain Model. Check wiki for more info.)

“What do you mean, ‘as usual’?”

Kanna shot her cold eyes towards Sorata.

“Meaning good relationship.”

“Not at all.”

Kanna said flatly.

“No, it’s very good. Extremely good. Really.”

Iori’s view was completely the opposite.

“Not at all.”

Although it looks like this on the surface, the two were in fact dating.

The two began dating starting from their third year during high school.

Although Kanna seemed to have set conditions for, Iori whose feelings did not weaver for two years.

--If you win at the Japanese National Piano Competition, I’ll go out with you

Sorata attended the competition as well, and saw Iori’s recital attract standing ovations. It was indeed a spectacular performance.

Sorata met Iori’s sister Saori by coincidence.

“Even I never did receive an applause like that eh.”

Saori said with a tad bit of exaggeration. She might have returned to Japan temporarily from her overseas study in Australia. Together with Saori stood the previous Student Council President, Soichiro Tatebayashi.

“Is it regret?” He coldly said.

From Saori’s speechless stare at Soichiro, one could tell that this was not a baseless accusation.

“I do not feel that achieving first is always a target. A wonderful performance cannot be equated with a performance that can grasp a person’s heart.”

The meaning behind those words could only be understood after listening to Iori’s recital.

The Iori who even after fracturing his arm, announced that he would be facing another challenge again.

Beautifully completing his determination, Iori performed not as [Himemiya’s brother], but showed the audience his own performance. Furthermore, he was also surrounded by warm applauses.

Judging from the results, it was still a pity that he did not win…

A frustrating defeat.

“My youth is over…”

The Iori who had lost the chance to go out with Kanna was absolutely depressed.

“I don’t wanna do anything anymore. If only I could disappear from the surface of the Earth this moment…”

Burned to absolute nothingness.

The Kanna who saw that decided, “Haiz… Ok. Let’s go out.” Though it had a forceful feel to it, both of them started their relationship.

To think that two years have already passed like this.

“Looks like it is going successfully, I’m happy oh.”

Sorata poked at them with a jesting tone.

“Because there isn’t a satisfying man around, I’m temporarily using him to make up for it.”

Kanna’s tsundere side was still in tact.

“Ehhh, I’m also making up with your flat chest eh.”

“Iori I remembered that you said something along the lines of ‘something far away is not as good as something near, something something ’?”

“Can you stop repeating those unclassy words?” Kanna glared at him with cold eyes.

“Ah, speaking of which, are you not together with Ryuunosuke-senpai?” Iori clearly shifted the topic.

As though he was afraid of being reprimanded by Kanna.

“Un? I thought Akasaka said that he was going to attend the graduation ceremony?”

“This morning before Sorata-senpai left, Rita-senpai came to fetch him as well. After which, she forcefully dragged DRAGON-senpai away.”

“Was it like that?”

At this moment, Sorata, Ryuunosuke and Iori was living together as a group of three. After graduating from Suiko, Sorata and Ryuunosuke rented an old building not far away from university, and used it as their development lab.

A place which was across the other side of the University from Sakurasou. <-- Er…don’t ask me. -->Although it was on the same street, at least the scenery was different by a tad. For a fresh start, this was considered okay.

The Iori who had planned to enrol in Suiko University of The Arts started living there as well.

Over at the side on game production, although there were all sorts of difficulties, it has been going well successfully.

The dream Sorata had to establish a game production company before Iori arrived in year two was achieved as well.

The three-man team consisted of Sorata, Ryuunosuke and Iori.

If there was a lack of members, every time when a new project started, they would beg Rita and Misaki, and the Fukaya Shiho from the University’s CG production course to take charge.

“I’ll go look for DRAGON-senpai!”

“Ah, wait!”

The rushing Iori disappeared amongst the crowd of graduating students.

Kanna chased after Iori after slightly nodding to Sorata.

“You can use the phone...”

Sorata mumbled towards the two who have disappeared. He took out his cellphone from his pocket.

“…”

But there was no reply, so he put it back into his pocket.

After detailed considerations, Sorata realised there was no need to meet up exclusively with the Ryuunosuke he is seeing everyday.

Even if it was not like that, we promised to meet each other after today. A meeting with buddies who went through the same times together, at Sakurasou.

Sorata, Ryuunosuke, Iori, Kanna, Misaki, Jin, Nanami, Chihiro, and Mashiro.

There were many friends that he met frequently as well. If they entered the same university, even if they were not taking the same course, they would meet somewhere like the canteen. However, there were also circumstances whereby they did not contact each other for months.

In this four years, Sorata did not meet with Mashiro once.

But he would always get updated on the latest happenings from Rita who was staying nearby Sakurasou.

“…”

Once he thought of meeting Mashiro, he was extremely nervous. To focus his attention, Sorata started to exit from the halls.

To avoid the chaos, he took the boulevard.

Sorata decided to exit from the main entrance, with Sakurasou as his destination.

Shortly after he departed, he found many people under the Beech trees.

Was something going on? Sorata looked while bearing these thoughts.

Looks like people were crowding around a couple who were confronted with.

He had wanted to ignore it, but it looked like he could not. In the midst of the crowd was faces he knew…Ryuunosuke and Rita.

Sorata had no choice but to mix in with the crowd to have a look at the situation.

The Ryuunosuke who was in a suit was rare. His slender legs hinted his slim figure. Because of his naturally neutral face along with black hair, it almost looks like he was crossdressing, but…

Not only was Ryuunosuke eye-catching, the Rita standing in front of him stood out amongst the crowd as well.

She had shinning gold hair, and wore a green sleeve that brought along a hint of pink.

“I’m going back to England next week.”

Rita announced sternly.

“I know. I’ve heard this numerous times starting from a few months ago.”

“We might not be able to meet up as frequently as now anymore.”

“To me it should be something worth celebrating.”

“I’m really going back to England, ok?”

“So?”

Ryuunosuke replied coldly.

“No matter what, you won’t go out with me?”

“Yeah. I’ve said it numerous times already.”

Rita looked down gloomily after hearing his reply.

“…I understand. I will give up on Ryuunosuke.”

Her reply was filled with sadness.

“So, I have a final request.”

“I refuse.”

“If you could kiss me right here, right now, I will give up on you.”

“Absolutely refused!”

“Why?”

“How many times do you want me to listen to your “last request”!? There were forty-eight of those request during the last four years!”

Ever since he was admitted into university, it happened once a month.

And every time Ryuunosuke would be forced to shop with Rita, forced to give her a birthday present, visit the Zoo, the Art Musuem…

They were already a famous couple amongst the cohort. Most likely all of them already think of them as a couple going out with each other.

“It will really be the last today.”

“Even that, I’ll still refuse.”

“Why?”

“I-In front of so many people. H-How can I do something like kissing!”

“So you’ll agree if there was nobody around!”

Rita interpreted his words from a positive viewpoint.

“That’s not what it means!”

“Then let’s go to the recording studio. There won’t be anyone there right, plus the soundproofing is perfect!”

The Rita who was in good mood hugged Ryuunosuke’s arm tightly. Tightly in front of her chest.

“Uuahh! L-Let go of me!”

The panicking Ryuunosuke wanted to retract his body, but it was already too late. Sorata entered Ryuunosuke’s plain of view.

“Ah, Kanda! Don’t just crowd around, come save me!”

“Frankly speaking, my view is that everything can be solved if you stop going out with her, right?”

It was from the bottom of his heart. There was also a basis for this thought. Sorata was the only one who knew of Ryuunosuke’s honest feelings. They also discussed on this topic previously.

“Ne, Akasaka…what do you honestly think of Rita?”

It was not long after when the company was established.

“Nothing much.”

“You were so enthusiastically approached to. It can’t be that you dislike it? Although she is a little wilful, she still is a beauty, and her personality isn’t bad at all, right?”

“She’s extremely kinky with me right now.”

“What happened?”

“…Currently we are in an extremely important phrase of establishing the company. I cannot be focused on anything other than game production. If you have a method to focus on two things simultaneously, please do enlighten me.”

“…”

Sorata could not reply. Since it was also because of that that he broke up with Mashiro.

Only that he could fully understand how Ryuunosuke felt at that moment.

Somehow he felt that it was because of time that it became like that, but it also felt that Rita would be going on the offensive soon.

“See, even Sorata said so. Go out with me!”

“Stop spouting nonsense! Enough, let go of me!”

Ryuunosuke struggled desperately.

But, he was once again clinched onto like chopsticks by Rita.

“Ahhhh…Eh, Ryuunosuke, stop touching me at weird spots in public.”

“!”

Most likely sensing the soft feeling of breasts from his hands, Ryuunosuke blushed instantly.

It looked like steam was going to appear soon.

“Ah, right, Sorata.” Rita looked at Sorata as though she remembered something.

“Un?”

“About that, although it’s hard for me to say it…”

Rita’s volume decreased clearly.

“What?”

“Mashiro…She won’t be coming today.”

“…” In that instant, Sorata’s mouth was wide agape and he could not say anything.

“…I see.” He finally managed to squeeze something out.

“I looks like she is busy with her Manga sketches…”

“After all the next chapter is the final one.” The current Mashiro was an extremely popular Mangaka. Since serializing her Manga from from then, she won several awards from famous Manga Awards, and had her manga released in Anime, Drama and Cinematic format.

No matter what she was popular.

The cumulative number of sold books broke through a thousand, and it was even written on the flap of the tenth volume. As a young female mangaka that was a powerful figure.

Furthermore, that popular manga series by her also had a serialization spanning five and a half years. It will be ending soon during the April instalment of the magazine. It was no wonder that she was busy. It must be the most intensive period of her work.

“Although I was hoping that she would at least show herself for a short while…”

“It’s ok. Thanks, Rita.”

It was not that Mashiro was avoiding Sorata on purpose. It was just that she wanted to put in her all for her work. Four years have already passed. It was only that…Even though they lived on the same street, that wasn’t even a chance to meet her once in a blue moon.

There was this time when he saw Mashiro’s silhouette along with Rita when they were buying something, but although the distance was considered near, Sorata missed the chance to greet Mashiro as due to business reasons, he had to speak with Fujisawa Kazuki on the phone.

“Well then. Sorata, we’ll meet later.” Rita forcefully dragged Ryuunosuke away.

“Enough, let go already!”

“If I don’t do this we’ll be separated due to the crowd, right?”

“Even if we were separated, I can find you immediately because of your golden hair!”

After which, Ryuunosuke let out a whine while being dragged away by Rita.

After watching them leave, somebody greeted them.

“Looks like Ryuunosuke and Rita’s relationship is also going well.”

“Un?”

Sorata saw Nanami standing there after rotating his head. Nanami wore a deep green kimono, with light blue sleeves. There were also cherry blossom patterns inlaid on her kimono, as though a stream was slowly flowing through. <-- Need some help with this part -->

“Ohh.” Sorata could not hold in how touched he was.

“W-What?”

Nanami was alerted after witnessing Sorata’s reaction.

“As expected, if one wanted to wear a kimono she should look like this.”

“What.”

“For the sake of discussion, it can be said that Rita’s kimono dressing can only be COSPLAY.”

Those blue eyes coupled with golden hair.

Absolutely did not work well together with the impression given off by a kimono.

Sorata’s plain of view stopped naturally at Nanami’s tied hair.

Her hair seemed to have grown longer during these four years, as compared to the short hair before he graduated from Suiko.

“Your hair, you grew it.”

“Kanda-kun, you would say that every time we meet.”

Maybe that was because he did not meet the Nanami who was in a different course.

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo:Volume 10 Final Chapter: Under The Sakura Tree

2014-06-16T06:45:51Z

Magykalman: aa

{{status:Incomplete 1/2|comments=Cause I said so. :)}}

After walking out of the hall of Suiko University of the Arts, a warm autumn breeze passed by.

Sorata, who was in his full suit, gently loosened his tie and gazed upon the dazzling sky.

It was a blue and clear sky.

Clouds that were like cotton candy floated by.

Gentle sunlight.

Because of the soothing sunshine, the Sakura trees have blossomed a week earlier than usual.

At the front of the hall used for the graduation ceremony, the beautiful Yoshino Sakura flowers bloomed as well.

There isn't a weather more suitable for graduations.

There were students taking memorial pictures everywhere.

The boys were dressed in formal suits, while the girls wore prominent kimonos.

Exactly like how a university graduation scene should be.

After graduating from Suiko, the 22 year old Sorata was peacefully welcoming his graduation days.

“Sorata-senpai~!”

After hearing his name being called out, he naturally looked for the owner of the voice.

He saw Iori, waving his hands; running towards him from the boulevard.

A white shirt that was suitable for autumn, along with black jeans. The hem of the shirt was hanging out. Sorata noticed the headphones hanging from his head after he came closer.

“You came specially to congratulate me?”

“I, have finally found the truth. I must say it no matter what.”

He didn’t look like he was here for congratulations.

“Oppai that are far away are not better off than pettanko that are near.”

Suiko students that were walking back and forth from the halls were all like ‘What is Iori saying.’ Even Sorata felt suspicious eyes staring at him. Sorata really hoped that he could stop it. Even the girl with short hair beside him shot a nasty look and backed off from him.

“Man… What dumb things are you saying?”

Sorata stuck his hand out and whole-heartedly pinched Iori’s face, making it seem stretched.
“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Wha-what are you doing!”

The person who came over was Kanna.

She was in a light-looking shirt with a short skirt.

Her legs were wrapped in black tights, and she wore boots that were slightly higher than her ankle. Kanna shot unhappy looks to Iori through the glasses of her spectacles. <-Pretty redundant, but still. ->

But even after this, she still said,

“Congratulations on graduating.”

“Thank you. Looks like Iori and Kanna are still like usual eh.”

Both are currently students of the Suiko University of the Arts.

They are going to be third-years starting from next month.

Kanna enrolled in the Literature department.

As a novelist, she continued writing novels. Iori didn’t enrol in the music department, instead enrolling into the Games SFX section in the Media Arts department, manipulating original soundtracks and training up on his DTM skills. (Trans note: DTM, or Digital Terrain Model. Check wiki for more info.)

“What do you mean, ‘as usual’?”

Kanna shot her cold eyes towards Sorata.

“Meaning good relationship.”

“Not at all.”

Kanna said flatly.

“No, it’s very good. Extremely good. Really.”

Iori’s view was completely the opposite.

“Not at all.”

Although it looks like this on the surface, the two were in fact dating.

The two began dating starting from their third year during high school.

Although Kanna seemed to have set conditions for, Iori whose feelings did not weaver for two years.

--If you win at the Japanese National Piano Competition, I’ll go out with you

Sorata attended the competition as well, and saw Iori’s recital attract standing ovations. It was indeed a spectacular performance.

Sorata met Iori’s sister Saori by coincidence.

“Even I never did receive an applause like that eh.”

Saori said with a tad bit of exaggeration. She might have returned to Japan temporarily from her overseas study in Australia. Together with Saori stood the previous Student Council President, Soichiro Tatebayashi.

“Is it regret?” He coldly said.

From Saori’s speechless stare at Soichiro, one could tell that this was not a baseless accusation.

“I do not feel that achieving first is always a target. A wonderful performance cannot be equated with a performance that can grasp a person’s heart.”

The meaning behind those words could only be understood after listening to Iori’s recital.

The Iori who even after fracturing his arm, announced that he would be facing another challenge again.

Beautifully completing his determination, Iori performed not as [Himemiya’s brother], but showed the audience his own performance. Furthermore, he was also surrounded by warm applauses.

Judging from the results, it was still a pity that he did not win…

A frustrating defeat.

“My youth is over…”

The Iori who had lost the chance to go out with Kanna was absolutely depressed.

“I don’t wanna do anything anymore. If only I could disappear from the surface of the Earth this moment…”

Burned to absolute nothingness.

The Kanna who saw that decided, “Haiz… Ok. Let’s go out.” Though it had a forceful feel to it, both of them started their relationship.

To think that two years have already passed like this.

“Looks like it is going successfully, I’m happy oh.”

Sorata poked at them with a jesting tone.

“Because there isn’t a satisfying man around, I’m temporarily using him to make up for it.”

Kanna’s tsundere side was still in tact.

“Ehhh, I’m also making up with your flat chest eh.”

“Iori I remembered that you said something along the lines of ‘something far away is not as good as something near, something something ’?”

“Can you stop repeating those unclassy words?” Kanna glared at him with cold eyes.

“Ah, speaking of which, are you not together with Ryuunosuke-senpai?” Iori clearly shifted the topic.

As though he was afraid of being reprimanded by Kanna.

“Un? I thought Akasaka said that he was going to attend the graduation ceremony?”

“This morning before Sorata-senpai left, Rita-senpai came to fetch him as well. After which, she forcefully dragged DRAGON-senpai away.”

“Was it like that?”

At this moment, Sorata, Ryuunosuke and Iori was living together as a group of three. After graduating from Suiko, Sorata and Ryuunosuke rented an old building not far away from university, and used it as their development lab.

A place which was across the other side of the University from Sakurasou. <-- Er…don’t ask me. -->Although it was on the same street, at least the scenery was different by a tad. For a fresh start, this was considered okay.

The Iori who had planned to enrol in Suiko University of The Arts started living there as well.

Over at the side on game production, although there were all sorts of difficulties, it has been going well successfully.

The dream Sorata had to establish a game production company before Iori arrived in year two was achieved as well.

The three-man team consisted of Sorata, Ryuunosuke and Iori.

If there was a lack of members, every time when a new project started, they would beg Rita and Misaki, and the Fukaya Shiho from the University’s CG production course to take charge.

“I’ll go look for DRAGON-senpai!”

“Ah, wait!”

The rushing Iori disappeared amongst the crowd of graduating students.

Kanna chased after Iori after slightly nodding to Sorata.

“You can use the phone...”

Sorata mumbled towards the two who have disappeared. He took out his cellphone from his pocket.

“…”

But there was no reply, so he put it back into his pocket.

Sorata mumbled towards the two who have disappeared. He took out his cellphone from his pocket.

“…”

But there was no reply, so he put it back into his pocket.

After detailed considerations, Sorata realised there was no need to meet up exclusively with the Ryuunosuke he is seeing everyday.

Even if it was not like that, we promised to meet each other after today. A meeting with buddies who went through the same times together, at Sakurasou.

Sorata, Ryuunosuke, Iori, Kanna, Misaki, Jin, Nanami, Chihiro, and Mashiro.

There were many friends that he met frequently as well. If they entered the same university, even if they were not taking the same course, they would meet somewhere like the canteen. However, there were also circumstances whereby they did not contact each other for months.

In this four years, Sorata did not meet with Mashiro once.

But he would always get updated on the latest happenings from Rita who was staying nearby Sakurasou.

“…”

Once he thought of meeting Mashiro, he was extremely nervous. To focus his attention, Sorata started to exit from the halls.

To avoid the chaos, he took the boulevard.

Sorata decided to exit from the main entrance, with Sakurasou as his destination.

Shortly after he departed, he found many people under the Beech trees.

Was something going on? Sorata looked while bearing these thoughts.

Looks like people were crowding around a couple who were confronted with.

He had wanted to ignore it, but it looked like he could not. In the midst of the crowd was faces he knew…Ryuunosuke and Rita.

Sorata had no choice but to mix in with the crowd to have a look at the situation.

The Ryuunosuke who was in a suit was rare. His slender legs hinted his slim figure. Because of his naturally neutral face along with black hair, it almost looks like he was crossdressing, but…

Not only was Ryuunosuke eye-catching, the Rita standing in front of him stood out amongst the crowd as well.

She had shinning gold hair, and wore a green sleeve that brought along a hint of pink.

“I’m going back to England next week.”

Rita announced sternly.

“I know. I’ve heard this numerous times starting from a few months ago.”

“We might not be able to meet up as frequently as now anymore.”

“To me it should be something worth celebrating.”

“I’m really going back to England, ok?”

“So?”

Ryuunosuke replied coldly.

“No matter what, you won’t go out with me?”

“Yeah. I’ve said it numerous times already.”

Rita looked down gloomily after hearing his reply.

“…I understand. I will give up on Ryuunosuke.”

Her reply was filled with sadness.

“So, I have a final request.”

“I refuse.”

“If you could kiss me right here, right now, I will give up on you.”

“Absolutely refused!”

“Why?”

“How many times do you want me to listen to your “last request”!? There were forty-eight of those request during the last four years!”

Ever since he was admitted into university, it happened once a month.

And every time Ryuunosuke would be forced to shop with Rita, forced to give her a birthday present, visit the Zoo, the Art Musuem…

They were already a famous couple amongst the cohort. Most likely all of them already think of them as a couple going out with each other.

“It will really be the last today.”

“Even that, I’ll still refuse.”

“Why?”

“I-In front of so many people. H-How can I do something like kissing!”

“So you’ll agree if there was nobody around!”

Rita interpreted his words from a positive viewpoint.

“That’s not what it means!”

“Then let’s go to the recording studio. There won’t be anyone there right, plus the soundproofing is perfect!”

The Rita who was in good mood hugged Ryuunosuke’s arm tightly. Tightly in front of her chest.

“Uuahh! L-Let go of me!”

The panicking Ryuunosuke wanted to retract his body, but it was already too late. Sorata entered Ryuunosuke’s plain of view.

“Ah, Kanda! Don’t just crowd around, come save me!”

“Frankly speaking, my view is that everything can be solved if you stop going out with her, right?”

It was from the bottom of his heart. There was also a basis for this thought. Sorata was the only one who knew of Ryuunosuke’s honest feelings. They also discussed on this topic previously.

“Ne, Akasaka…what do you honestly think of Rita?”

It was not long after when the company was established.

“Nothing much.”

“You were so enthusiastically approached to. It can’t be that you dislike it? Although she is a little wilful, she still is a beauty, and her personality isn’t bad at all, right?”

“She’s extremely kinky with me right now.”

“What happened?”

“…Currently we are in an extremely important phrase of establishing the company. I cannot be focused on anything other than game production. If you have a method to focus on two things simultaneously, please do enlighten me.”

“…”

Sorata could not reply. Since it was also because of that that he broke up with Mashiro.

Only that he could fully understand how Ryuunosuke felt at that moment.

Somehow he felt that it was because of time that it became like that, but it also felt that Rita would be going on the offensive soon.

“See, even Sorata said so. Go out with me!”

“Stop spouting nonsense! Enough, let go of me!”

Ryuunosuke struggled desperately.

But, he was once again clinched onto like chopsticks by Rita.

“Ahhhh…Eh, Ryuunosuke, stop touching me at weird spots in public.”

“!”

Most likely sensing the soft feeling of breasts from his hands, Ryuunosuke blushed instantly.

It looked like steam was going to appear soon.

“Ah, right, Sorata.” Rita looked at Sorata as though she remembered something.

“Un?”

“About that, although it’s hard for me to say it…”

Rita’s volume decreased clearly.

“What?”

“Mashiro…She won’t be coming today.”

“…” In that instant, Sorata’s mouth was wide agape and he could not say anything.

“…I see.” He finally managed to squeeze something out.

“I looks like she is busy with her Manga sketches…”

“After all the next chapter is the final one.” The current Mashiro was an extremely popular Mangaka. Since serializing her Manga from from then, she won several awards from famous Manga Awards, and had her manga released in Anime, Drama and Cinematic format.

No matter what she was popular.

The cumulative number of sold books broke through a thousand, and it was even written on the flap of the tenth volume. As a young female mangaka that was a powerful figure.

Furthermore, that popular manga series by her also had a serialization spanning five and a half years. It will be ending soon during the April instalment of the magazine. It was no wonder that she was busy. It must be the most intensive period of her work.

“Although I was hoping that she would at least show herself for a short while…”

“It’s ok. Thanks, Rita.”

It was not that Mashiro was avoiding Sorata on purpose. It was just that she wanted to put in her all for her work. Four years have already passed. It was only that…Even though they lived on the same street, that wasn’t even a chance to meet her once in a blue moon.

There was this time when he saw Mashiro’s silhouette along with Rita when they were buying something, but although the distance was considered near, Sorata missed the chance to greet Mashiro as due to business reasons, he had to speak with Fujisawa Kazuki on the phone.

“Well then. Sorata, we’ll meet later.” Rita forcefully dragged Ryuunosuke away.

“Enough, let go already!”

“If I don’t do this we’ll be separated due to the crowd, right?”

“Even if we were separated, I can find you immediately because of your golden hair!”

After which, Ryuunosuke let out a whine while being dragged away by Rita.

After watching them leave, somebody greeted them.

“Looks like Ryuunosuke and Rita’s relationship is also going well.”

“Un?”

Sorata saw Nanami standing there after rotating his head. Nanami wore a deep green kimono, with light blue sleeves. There were also cherry blossom patterns inlaid on her kimono, as though a stream was slowly flowing through. <-- Need some help with this part -->

“Ohh.” Sorata could not hold in how touched he was.

“W-What?”

Nanami was alerted after witnessing Sorata’s reaction.

“As expected, if one wanted to wear a kimono she should look like this.”

“What.”

“For the sake of discussion, it can be said that Rita’s kimono dressing can only be COSPLAY.”

Those blue eyes coupled with golden hair.

Absolutely did not work well together with the impression given off by a kimono.

Sorata’s plain of view stopped naturally at Nanami’s tied hair.

Her hair seemed to have grown longer during these four years, as compared to the short hair before he graduated from Suiko.

“Your hair, you grew it.”

“Kanda-kun, you would say that every time we meet.”

Maybe that was because he did not meet the Nanami who was in a different course.

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo:Volume 10 Final Chapter: Under The Sakura Tree

2014-06-16T06:07:07Z

Magykalman:

{{status:Incomplete 1/2|comments=Cause I said so. :)}}

After walking out of the hall of Suiko University of the Arts, a warm autumn breeze passed by.

Sorata, who was in his full suit, gently loosened his tie and gazed upon the dazzling sky.

It was a blue and clear sky.

Clouds that were like cotton candy floated by.

Gentle sunlight.

Because of the soothing sunshine, the Sakura trees have blossomed a week earlier than usual.

At the front of the hall used for the graduation ceremony, the beautiful Yoshino Sakura flowers bloomed as well.

There isn't a weather more suitable for graduations.

There were students taking memorial pictures everywhere.

The boys were dressed in formal suits, while the girls wore prominent kimonos.

Exactly like how a university graduation scene should be.

After graduating from Suiko, the 22 year old Sorata was peacefully welcoming his graduation days.

“Sorata-senpai~!”

After hearing his name being called out, he naturally looked for the owner of the voice.

He saw Iori, waving his hands; running towards him from the boulevard.

A white shirt that was suitable for autumn, along with black jeans. The hem of the shirt was hanging out. Sorata noticed the headphones hanging from his head after he came closer.

“You came specially to congratulate me?”

“I, have finally found the truth. I must say it no matter what.”

He didn’t look like he was here for congratulations.

“Oppai that are far away are not better off than pettanko that are near.”

Suiko students that were walking back and forth from the halls were all like ‘What is Iori saying.’ Even Sorata felt suspicious eyes staring at him. Sorata really hoped that he could stop it. Even the girl with short hair beside him shot a nasty look and backed off from him.

“Man… What dumb things are you saying?”

Sorata stuck his hand out and whole-heartedly pinched Iori’s face, making it seem stretched.
“Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Wha-what are you doing!”

The person who came over was Kanna.

She was in a light-looking shirt with a short skirt.

Her legs were wrapped in black tights, and she wore boots that were slightly higher than her ankle. Kanna shot unhappy looks to Iori through the glasses of her spectacles. <--Pretty redundant, but still.-->

But even after this, she still said,

“Congratulations on graduating.”

“Thank you. Looks like Iori and Kanna are still like usual eh.”

Both are currently students of the Suiko University of the Arts.

They are going to be third-years starting from next month.

Kanna enrolled in the Literature department.

As a novelist, she continued writing novels. Iori didn’t enrol in the music department, instead enrolling into the Games SFX section in the Media Arts department, manipulating original soundtracks and training up on his DTM skills. (Trans note: DTM, or Digital Terrain Model. Check wiki for more info.)

“What do you mean, ‘as usual’?”

Kanna shot her cold eyes towards Sorata.

“Meaning good relationship.”

“Not at all.”

Kanna said flatly.

“No, it’s very good. Extremely good. Really.”

Iori’s view was completely the opposite.

“Not at all.”

Although it looks like this on the surface, the two were in fact dating.

The two began dating starting from their third year during high school.

Although Kanna seemed to have set conditions for, Iori whose feelings did not weaver for two years.

--If you win at the Japanese National Piano Competition, I’ll go out with you

Sorata attended the competition as well, and saw Iori’s recital attract standing ovations. It was indeed a spectacular performance.

Sorata met Iori’s sister Saori by coincidence.

“Even I never did receive an applause like that eh.”

Saori said with a tad bit of exaggeration. She might have returned to Japan temporarily from her overseas study in Australia. Together with Saori stood the previous Student Council President, Soichiro Tatebayashi.

“Is it regret?” He coldly said.

From Saori’s speechless stare at Soichiro, one could tell that this was not a baseless accusation.

“I do not feel that achieving first is always a target. A wonderful performance cannot be equated with a performance that can grasp a person’s heart.”

The meaning behind those words could only be understood after listening to Iori’s recital.

The Iori who even after fracturing his arm, announced that he would be facing another challenge again.

Beautifully completing his determination, Iori performed not as [Himemiya’s brother], but showed the audience his own performance. Furthermore, he was also surrounded by warm applauses.

Judging from the results, it was still a pity that he did not win…

Frustrating defeat.

“My youth is over…”

The Iori who had lost the chance to go out with Kanna was absolutely depressed.

“I don’t wanna do anything anymore. If only I could disappear from the surface of the Earth this moment…”

Burned to absolute nothingness.

The Kanna who saw that decided, “Haiz… Ok. Let’s go out.” Though it had a forceful feel to it, both of them started their relationship.

To think that two years have already passed like this.

“Looks like it is going successfully, I’m happy oh.”

Sorata poked at them with a jesting tone.

“Because there isn’t a satisfying man around, I’m temporarily using him to make up for it.”

Kanna’s tsundere side was still in tact.

“Ehhh, I’m also making up with your flat chest eh.”

“Iori I remembered that you said something along the lines of ‘something far away is not as good as something near, something something ’?”

“Can you stop repeating those unclassy words?” Kanna glared at him with cold eyes.

“Ah, speaking of which, are you not together with Ryuunosuke-senpai?” Iori clearly shifted the topic.

As though he was afraid of being reprimanded by Kanna.

“Un? I thought Akasaka said that he was going to attend the graduation ceremony?”

“This morning before Sorata-senpai left, Rita-senpai came to fetch him as well. After which, she forcefully dragged DRAGON-senpai away.”

“Was it like that?”

At this moment, Sorata, Ryuunosuke and Iori was living together as a group of three. After graduating from Suiko, Sorata and Ryuunosuke rented an old building not far away from university, and used it as their development lab.

A place which was across the other side of the University from Sakurasou. <--Er…don’t ask me.-->Although it was on the same street, at least the scenery was different by a tad. For a fresh start, this was considered okay.

The Iori who had planned to enrol in Suiko University of The Arts started living there as well.

Over at the side on game production, although there were all sorts of difficulties, it has been going well successfully.

The dream Sorata had to establish a game production company before Iori arrived in year two was achieved as well.

The three-man team consisted of Sorata, Ryuunosuke and Iori.

If there was a lack of members, every time when a new project started, they would beg Rita and Misaki, and the Fukaya Shiho from the University’s CG production course to take charge.

“I’ll go look for DRAGON-senpai!”

“Ah, wait!”

The rushing Iori disappeared amongst the crowd of graduating students.

Kanna chased after Iori after slightly nodding to Sorata.

“You can use the phone...”

Sorata mumbled towards the two who have disappeared. He took out his cellphone from his pocket.

“…”

But there was no reply, so he put it back into his pocket.

“You can use the phone...”

Sorata mumbled towards the two who have disappeared. He took out his cellphone from his pocket.

“…”

But there was no reply, so he put it back into his pocket.

After detailed considerations, Sorata realised there was no need to meet up exclusively with the Ryuunosuke he is seeing everyday.

Even if it was not like that, we promised to meet each other after today. A meeting with buddies who went through the same times together, at Sakurasou.

Sorata, Ryuunosuke, Iori, Kanna, Misaki, Jin, Nanami, Chihiro, and Mashiro.

There were many friends that he met frequently as well. If they entered the same university, even if they were not taking the same course, they would meet somewhere like the canteen. However, there were also circumstances whereby they did not contact each other for months.

In this four years, Sorata did not meet with Mashiro once.

But he would always get updated on the latest happenings from Rita who was staying nearby Sakurasou.

“…”

Once he thought of meeting Mashiro, he was extremely nervous. To focus his attention, Sorata started to exit from the halls.

To avoid the chaos, he took the boulevard.

Sorata decided to exit from the main entrance, with Sakurasou as his destination.

Shortly after he departed, he found many people under the Beech trees.

Was something going on? Sorata looked while bearing these thoughts.

Looks like people were crowding around a couple who were confronted with.

He had wanted to ignore it, but it looked like he could not. In the midst of the crowd was faces he knew…Ryuunosuke and Rita.

Sorata had no choice but to mix in with the crowd to have a look at the situation.

The Ryuunosuke who was in a suit was rare. His slender legs hinted his slim figure. Because of his naturally neutral face along with black hair, it almost looks like he was crossdressing, but…

Not only was Ryuunosuke eye-catching, the Rita standing in front of him stood out amongst the crowd as well.

She had shinning gold hair, and wore a green sleeve that brought along a hint of pink.

“I’m going back to England next week.”

Rita announced sternly.

“I know. I’ve heard this numerous times starting from a few months ago.”

“We might not be able to meet up as frequently as now anymore.”

“To me it should be something worth celebrating.”

“I’m really going back to England, ok?”

“So?”

Ryuunosuke replied coldly.

“No matter what, you won’t go out with me?”

“Yeah. I’ve said it numerous times already.”

Rita looked down gloomily after hearing his reply.

“…I understand. I will give up on Ryuunosuke.”

Her reply was filled with sadness.

“So, I have a final request.”

“I refuse.”

“If you could kiss me right here, right now, I will give up on you.”

“Absolutely refused!”

“Why?”

“How many times do you want me to listen to your “last request”!? There were forty-eight of those request during the last four years!”

Ever since he was admitted into university, it happened once a month.

And every time Ryuunosuke would be forced to shop with Rita, forced to give her a birthday present, visit the Zoo, the Art Musuem…

They were already a famous couple amongst the cohort. Most likely all of them already think of them as a couple going out with each other.

“It will really be the last today.”

“Even that, I’ll still refuse.”

“Why?”

“I-In front of so many people. H-How can I do something like kissing!”

“So you’ll agree if there was nobody around!”

Rita interpreted his words from a positive viewpoint.

“That’s not what it means!”

“Then let’s go to the recording studio. There won’t be anyone there right, plus the soundproofing is perfect!”

The Rita who was in good mood hugged Ryuunosuke’s arm tightly. Tightly in front of her chest.

“Uuahh! L-Let go of me!”

The panicking Ryuunosuke wanted to retract his body, but it was already too late. Sorata entered Ryuunosuke’s plain of view.

“Ah, Kanda! Don’t just crowd around, come save me!”

“Frankly speaking, my view is that everything can be solved if you stop going out with her, right?”

It was from the bottom of his heart. There was also a basis for this thought. Sorata was the only one who knew of Ryuunosuke’s honest feelings. They also discussed on this topic previously.

“Ne, Akasaka…what do you honestly think of Rita?”

It was not long after when the company was established.

“Nothing much.”

“You were so enthusiastically approached to. It can’t be that you dislike it? Although she is a little wilful, she still is a beauty, and her personality isn’t bad at all, right?”

“She’s extremely kinky with me right now.”

“What happened?”

“…Currently we are in an extremely important phrase of establishing the company. I cannot be focused on anything other than game production. If you have a method to focus on two things simultaneously, please do enlighten me.”

“…”

Sorata could not reply. Since it was also because of that that he broke up with Mashiro.

Only that he could fully understand how Ryuunosuke felt at that moment.

Somehow he felt that it was because of time that it became like that, but it also felt that Rita would be going on the offensive soon.

“See, even Sorata said so. Go out with me!”

“Stop spouting nonsense! Enough, let go of me!”

Ryuunosuke struggled desperately.

But, he was once again clinched onto like chopsticks by Rita.

“Ahhhh…Eh, Ryuunosuke, stop touching me at weird spots in public.”

“!”

Most likely sensing the soft feeling of breasts from his hands, Ryuunosuke blushed instantly.

It looked like steam was going to appear soon.

“Ah, right, Sorata.” Rita looked at Sorata as though she remembered something.

“Un?”

“About that, although it’s hard for me to say it…”

Rita’s volume decreased clearly.

“What?”

“Mashiro…She won’t be coming today.”

“…” In that instant, Sorata’s mouth was wide agape and he could not say anything.

“…I see.” He finally managed to squeeze something out.

“I looks like she is busy with her Manga sketches…”

“After all the next chapter is the final one.” The current Mashiro was an extremely popular Mangaka. Since serializing her Manga from from then, she won several awards from famous Manga Awards, and had her manga released in Anime, Drama and Cinematic format.

No matter what she was popular.

The cumulative number of sold books broke through a thousand, and it was even written on the flap of the tenth volume. As a young female mangaka that was a powerful figure.

Furthermore, that popular manga series by her also had a serialization spanning five and a half years. It will be ending soon during the April instalment of the magazine. It was no wonder that she was busy. It must be the most intensive period of her work.

“Although I was hoping that she would at least show herself for a short while…”

“It’s ok. Thanks, Rita.”

It was not that Mashiro was avoiding Sorata on purpose. It was just that she wanted to put in her all for her work. Four years have already passed. It was only that…Even though they lived on the same street, that wasn’t even a chance to meet her once in a blue moon.

There was this time when he saw Mashiro’s silhouette along with Rita when they were buying something, but although the distance was considered near, Sorata missed the chance to greet Mashiro as due to business reasons, he had to speak with Fujisawa Kazuki on the phone.

“Well then. Sorata, we’ll meet later.” Rita forcefully dragged Ryuunosuke away.

“Enough, let go already!”

“If I don’t do this we’ll be separated due to the crowd, right?”

“Even if we were separated, I can find you immediately because of your golden hair!”

After which, Ryuunosuke let out a whine while being dragged away by Rita.

After watching them leave, somebody greeted them.

“Looks like Ryuunosuke and Rita’s relationship is also going well.”

“Un?”

Sorata saw Nanami standing there after rotating his head. Nanami wore a deep green kimono, with light blue sleeves. There were also cherry blossom patterns inlaid on her kimono, as though a stream was slowly flowing through. <-- Need some help with this part -->

“Ohh.” Sorata could not hold in how touched he was.

“W-What?”

Nanami was alerted after witnessing Sorata’s reaction.

“As expected, if one wanted to wear a kimono she should look like this.”

“What.”

“For the sake of discussion, it can be said that Rita’s kimono dressing can only be COSPLAY.”

Those blue eyes coupled with golden hair.

Absolutely did not work well together with the impression given off by a kimono.

Sorata’s plain of view stopped naturally at Nanami’s tied hair.

Her hair seemed to have grown longer during these four years, as compared to the short hair before he graduated from Suiko.

“Your hair, you grew it.”

“Kanda-kun, you would say that every time we meet.”

Maybe that was because he did not meet the Nanami who was in a different course.

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

I see, is it because of NisiOisiN's writing style?

In a way, yes. Nishio's word-play are not just restricted to puns alone, but also literary aspects of Japanese, such as how a character's kanji is written, or substituting completely seemingly unrelated kanji for pronunciation purposes only, but yet embedding a deeper meaning which gives the used kanji relevance, and many others.

There's no need to ask for permission. You simply have to post your name under "'''Editors'''" on its main page and there...you are a part of it. :D --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] ([[User talk:Chancs|talk]]) 12:33, 6 September 2012 (CDT)

That's not quite right. At least for Campione, the editor-section on the project page is for the editors with a decent amount of contributions. I tend to purge it from time to time. Still, you can just start editing and once you've done enough, you'll become an "official editor" sooner or later anyway. Not that it changes much.--[[User:Kadi|Kadi]] ([[User talk:Kadi|talk]]) 12:56, 6 September 2012 (CDT)

Changing typos in 10 lines total and disappearing is not enough.

Yes you can start right away. [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=63 Campione Subforum]. About the questions on my talk page: Yes you can make such changes, but I don't even see much of a difference in flow and actually, if that's all you change I prefer the current version. Why don't you try finding a solution that improves the flow more? "whether it's now or then", while slgihtly better, loses the "development from the past to the present"-nuance though... Second question: Magi are afraid of campione, knowing their power. They also call them kings and as usual with kings, their whims can be devastating, all the more so with devil kings who are... how do I explain devil king...~~--[[User:Kadi|Kadi]] ([[User talk:Kadi|talk]]) 05:31, 7 September 2012 (CDT)

Some of the sentences need tweaking, I'll have a go through them when I am free. Also try and keep the sentence tense the same. For example I noticed you changed 'become' to 'becoming'. I am undoing the updates as of now.

--[[User:Magykalman|Magykalman]] ([[User talk:Magykalman|talk]]) 20:35, 8 September 2012 (CDT)

Actually I think it is still needed, unless you change "helmet" to something else. For example, if you change the order of "helmet" and "armor" in the sentence, "She wasn't wearing helmet or any armor" would be incorrect, but "She wasn't wearing a helmet or any armor" would be correct. You could also change it to "She wasn't wearing any armor or her helmet" or add another modifier. This would also apply to any other singular noun that Nobuna might have. Plural nouns would be okay without an "a". For example, "She wasn't wearing any armor or gear" would be okay because "gear" can be plural and refer to multiple items, but "She wasn't wearing any armor or sword" would require an "a" or the change of "sword" into "swords". A noun like "helmet" in the sentence does not require a modifier like "a" if it is a proper noun like a person's name, if it's a plural noun like "helmets", or if it's a mass noun like "information". Sorry for the long wall of text, we can ask Akuma or someone if we still disagree on this.
[[User:Sab|Sab]] ([[User talk:Sab|talk]]) 11:05, 23 September 2012 (CDT)

Ah hi there. Sorry it took me so long to reply. Kinda busy this period. It's okay. I don't mind the long wall of text. And I'm also not arguing with you for the sake of 1 letter. But I think it would still be better to ask from a higher personal or seek higher guidance. I mean, I can say it -- I'm not all that good in English, it's not my first language, so I think it would be better to seek guidance. But can you wait till 18 Oct when I'm back to write to Akuma or someone else? [[User:Chancs|Chancs]] ([[User talk:Chancs|talk]]) maybe? He is very good. :D Cause apparently I wouldn't be in. :( And thanks to even take the time to write that long wall of text :D that shows that you really care. :D p.s. Why not become an editor for real? :D --[[user:Magykalman|Magykalman]] 21:39 25 September 2012 (UTC+8)

Hi again, sorry for my delay in replying as well. Sure, we can wait until you're back, just remind me or I'll probably forget about doing it. I can't scan my grammar textbook for you, but I can link you some additional information on why I made the change if that would help.
P.S. I'm already editing Accel World; if an admin adds me to a project, that's fine, but otherwise I don't really care whether I'm credited as a project editor or not :S

From what I can gather from the Japanese version,淑女车, チャリンコ(charinko), refers to bicycles with bells, since they write the ringing of bells as 'charin'. So i believe that there are probably no good replacements for the term, and it will suffice to just write it as a bike/bicycle. --[[User:Zephyrus|Zephyrus]] ([[User talk:Zephyrus|talk]]) 08:50, 10 September 2012 (CDT)

? What do you mean? O.O -- [[user:Magykalman |Magykalman ]]

You sure you're getting the name for the series right? (Pet? Petto?) Anyways, you're welcome. Making teasers is generally better than being part of a project because you don't get pressured to complete a light novel, especially when you are someone as busy as me. Second, you're requesting me to finish the whole volume? Have you read the rules before posting? Do you even realise that you registered chapter 2? How am I going to finish it if you are doing chapter 2? I'm just joking. I haven't translated the series for a long time...maybe ever since the anime was released. The problem is, by the end of this year, if volume 1 isn't going to be finished, nano desu translation project will take up the whole volume altogether. And my precious effort-exhausting translations of the first chapter will be in vain. So if you can, do whatever it takes to complete the first volume!! About the cats, I have them in first chapter. In most occasions, it's Hikaru or Hikari (which means light — 光), the white fat cat. I'm using Hikari in chapter 1. I don't think I can help you much with the English, unless you really can't figure out how to express something in English...Also, editors are also responsible to smoothen them in English. I stopped watching the anime like...after episode 3? I don't really enjoy the anime as much as the light novel. Not really much to comment on the anime.

^ That's a lot...I hope it wouldn't burden you. Nice translating!! [[user:Pudding321 |Pudding321 ]]

Hahas LOL I'd always thought that it was Petto cause it was the official pronouncation for the LN. ( ペット ) :P Maybe the English version is diff? XD

Are you joking? You mean NanoDesu will really take up the whole thing (as in even the translated volumes) even if we'd done them? :( That sounds quite dumb. And yeah, thanks for telling me anyway, cause now I feel so motivated! >:D But Ofc, the problem now is obviously to find another translator. Maybe we can try posting on the forum thread...? (I suck at using that though :P) But the book is really long...(Considering that a translator has to be tied to ONE chapter and one chap in that book is.....You get what I mean, don'tcha? .___.

Lastly, Damn the cat names!!! ERGHHH... T.T

--[[user:Magykalman|Magykalman]]

Translators come in at their own preference. It's hard to grab translators unless the project is really hot...say SAO. Baka Tsuki is not a translation group after all.

Hey, if you still have any problems about the cats or whatnot, go on Facebook. I have a message waiting for you =p

[[user:Pudding321 |Pudding321 ]]

Regarding the magnet thing, I don't think it's really that big of a deal, but I just interpreted it as 'a line of words on a red magnet', bacause a few lines later it mentions something about 'it was the red of forever'. I don't really know what the true meaning was intended to be, so I'll just follow your advice :).
P.S. I was thinking about that, but I don't really know the rules regarding teaser projects, and I'm pretty lazy as an editor (only edited around 25% of the 50% that Pudding has trasnslated of chapter 1 so far :P) but if the project really picks up I might edit more, because I'm pretty interested in the novel.

@Pudding321 p.s. What do you do when you translate? Just curious, cause I'm not so sure. I usually write down the translates on paper first when I'm free in school or at home. Maybe that's why I needed more pens over time? :/ (LOL) But do you use a software or anything? Cause I find myself translating really slow. Maybe it's just me? ._. But I really want this series to become a real project, so, just wondering if there is a method you use to increase speed. XD Thx.

Hmm...I translate it on ms word...But I think writing it on paper is also a good alternative if you don't want to look at the monitor for too long cause that will hurt your eyes.

Okay sure. ^^ just that don't blame me if I suck. Haha. XP - - [[user:Magykalman|Magykalman]]

It's all right to edit the work of the other translators in the same project, but I would leave that to editors. So you don't necessarily have to look at my translation. Also, you can keep to your own translating pace once you registered for the chapter, as long as you don't go idle for too long. Good luck.

So... due to you being inactive for Sakurasou Translations, I moved you to the Inactive list. Please post on my talk page when you want to continue TLing or something. [[User:Junnynam|Junnynam]] ([[User talk:Junnynam|talk]]) 22:25, 25 February 2013 (CST)

Okay thank you. :) most likely I'll start in June cause thats my next holiday haha. --[[user:Magykalman|Magykalman]]

Hello. I've helped you complete the last two parts of chapter 2. I hope you wouldn't mind. Pudding321

Hey thx for saving my ass haha. Of course I wouldn't mind! :D Thx a great lot anyways.
Btw, any matter is that book 9 had already came out in Japan and just nice I was in Japan for a short ski holiday, so I bought it. Are you going to include it in the main page anytime soon? :D

Magykalman: so so sry.

== Formatting ==

Should we use "Sakurasou" or "the Sakura Dormitory"? The former coheres to the name of the novel, while the latter expresses the full meaning. Or maybe we should add a Translator's note and use the former? [[User:Pudding321|Pudding321]] 23:50, 5 October 2012 (CDT)

It's better to stick more to the Japanese side. And instead of "Hall" write it as "Dormitory". --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] ([[User talk:Chancs|talk]]) 00:06, 6 October 2012 (CDT)

<3 YOU!!! XDDD sry for the lag cause I went on holiday. :P [[user:Magykalman|Magykalman]] 16:04, 23 Nov 2012 (GMT+8)

I've been wondering: Would you translators prefer that I edit the script strictly for spelling, grammar and format, and stick really close to the original more direct translation, or would it be better if I tried to make the text flow more, occasionally altering meanings in some way to make it read more like an English novel? I would like to think that I'm not completely ignorant of Japanese culture and language(otherwise I probably wouldn't even be here), so sometimes I can infer as to what some of the original text was trying to say and thus try to find a more suitable western/English equivalent. I am fine with either way, as the former is easier and less time consuming, though more mechanical, and the latter would be more interesting to do, albeit requiring more effort. What would you guys prefer?
P.s. Sorry for the huge block of text :P -[[User:Jasou|Jasou]] ([[User talk:Jasou|talk]]) 22:25, 3 December 2012 (CST)

Erm...For me, at least just for me, because I did work previously as an editor (Yeah I sucked at it), most translators would prefer the text edited for spelling, grammar, and format. With flow included. But if it is a big changed to the whole sentence, we would normally paste the "Before change" and "Changed" on the discussion page, then change it. But technical terms are still kept and untranslated (E.g. Sakurasou, Kouhai, Sempai.) I have no idea why, but it looks and sounds better if kept like that. :PPP

But for me, I don't really wanna go through that hassle. If you don't mind that, I would appreciate it, but because of RL stuff, (Most ppl have that), I think it is rather time-consuming. So I am fine if you just edit. And if I don't like it, I'll just change that portion of text back. Something like that. :)

I'm quite flexible so it's fine. But maybe you would have to ask the opinions of other translators as well, just in case... :PPPP
P.S. sry for the even longer line of text. XDDDD --[[user:Magykalman|Magykalman]]

I don't think that it's that big of a deal, but is this project still supposed to be in UK English? I saw something about that when I started editing this, but when I recently checked again it wasn't there anymore. So, did the rules change? Just wondering because the other editor (the one that's actually here) is changing things to American English, so I don't know if I should do the same or continue to use UK. -[[User:Jasou|Jasou]] ([[User talk:Jasou|talk]]) 21:37, 7 December 2012 (CST)

Just my 2¥ concerning editing. After two years of translation, editing and TLC, I think that you should try having the meaning conveyed in a more natural English. For example, idioms, expressions and many things can be edited as long as the script gets better, not worse. So if it doesn't flow well, I'd say that it needs to be rephrased. Basically, you can change or subtitute as long as the meaning doesn't get twisted around.

For the project, BT's default language is American English. However, pudding comes from HK and he uses UK English. I'd say you pick the English you want, as long as it is applied throughout the series. [[User:Kira0802|Kira]] ([[User_talk:Kira0802|Talk]]) 21:51, 7 December 2012 (CST)

The thing is, I'm from Canada and would prefer UK English, but I'm not the only editor anymore. I guess I'll work something out with the other guy who seems to prefer American.
Oh, and thanks for your advice, Kira.
-[[User:Jasou|Jasou]] ([[User talk:Jasou|talk]]) 22:01, 7 December 2012 (CST)

Haha lol. I don't mind either, though I'll be sending in a mixed version of it. :DDD Lol cause I'm not in UK or America, so my English is pretty screwed up, so you'll see a little color of every nation. LOL
On a side note, who's the project supervisor and admin for it? I think it's better to put there cause newbies like me would need the info. :/
Though I contacted pudding at that time cause he was the only translator. :P --[[user:Magykalman|Magykalman]]

Thx! And pls help edit when you have free time too! XD --[[user:Magykalman|Magykalman]]

Erm hi just dropping by to ask a question. In the anime of Sakurasou, it seemed that Misaki always calls Sorata "Kouhai-kun". So just wondering if we need ta put the "-kun" prefix behind. thx. :D --[[user:Magykalman|Magykalman]]

If we do start putting kuns onto Kouhai, then we should put kun/san/chan onto everything else. But I don't think that's necessary.[[User:Monkeii12|Monkeii12]] ([[User talk:Monkeii12|talk]]) 03:20, 12 December 2012 (CST)

Kk thx! But on a side note, Nanami always uses the "Kanda-kun" to voice the sarcasm of her speech, e.g. "Kanda-kun, can you stop looking here?" so... :/ --[[user:Magykalman|Magykalman]]

I see, but the sarcasm might only be in the anime. I'm TLing from the KR version, and it doesn't really emphasize the sarcasm. I guess I'll ask for Pudding's advice.

On a side note, what do the other LNs do? Do they add the kun/san/chan on the end? Or does it depend on the translator?
[[User:Monkeii12|Monkeii12]] ([[User talk:Monkeii12|talk]]) 04:37, 13 December 2012 (CST)

Hm...I think it depends on the translator. LOL --[[user:Magykalman|Magykalman]]

I've talked to Pudding, and he says why not. So'll put the kuns onto the Kohai from now on. I'll edit ch3&4 for the kuns --[[User:Monkeii12|Monkeii12]] ([[User talk:Monkeii12|talk]]) 07:36, 13 December 2012 (CST)

Okay! :D - - [[user:Magykalman |Magykalman]]

Added the kuns in the rest. Hopefully I'll have more free time during winter break to do more editing, but I'll still be popping in from time to time until then. -[[User:Jasou|Jasou]] ([[User talk:Jasou|talk]]) 21:11, 13 December 2012 (CST)

Hey guys, I'd like to help out, either as an editor or translator. Native English (American) speaker, so I'd probably do better on editing, but I can attempt to translate from the Chinese LN (which I have access to) or from the original that Jasou says he has access to. [[User:Khiral|Khiral]] ([[User talk:Khiral|talk]]) 01:46, 27 December 2012 (CST)

Hello Khiral, having an extra TL or an editor is awesome and welcomed. If you feel comfortable TLing, you can start from Vol3 because Vol2 is being done by Pudding321 and myself.If you want to edit, then that's fine as well. Just go with whichever you feel you can dedicate yourself into without getting too bored.

If you are going to translate, it would be better to translate from the original language(Japanese) because it's better to use the original source. But if you find Chinese easier to TL from, then you can choose to use the Chinese version.--[[User:Monkeii12|Monkeii12]] ([[User talk:Monkeii12|talk]]) 03:03, 27 December 2012 (CST)

After some thought, I will just edit for the time being. I searched the forums, but couldn't find a general protocol for editing. Is there anything particular? [[User:Khiral|Khiral]] ([[User talk:Khiral|talk]]) 08:30, 28 December 2012 (CST)

There really aren't much protocols that I'm aware of, except that we prefer to use UK English and we don't like to change the meaning of the context. So just make sure that the original meaning of the book is retained. Also, please check for the flow of the words, so that it doesn't sound forced or confusing. So you can sign yourself up on the editors section and get started! --[[User:Monkeii12|Monkeii12]] ([[User talk:Monkeii12|talk]]) 09:37, 28 December 2012 (CST)

I only use this account, barring some sort of strange split personality, so I don't think so. Also, high quality image scans got posted just as I uploaded the chapter 8 images. GG. brb reuploading.

== Volume 7.5 ==

First off would like to say thanks for the translators translating this series, really enjoying the anime so i have enjoyed reading the LN, just wanted to point out on the slim chance that you actually didn't know that you missed out on volume 7.5

http://www.mangaupdates.com/image/i140851.jpg

Also i was wondering if chapter 2 of volume 1 is still being translated, my reason for wondering this is because the translation is getting pretty consistent updates with the exception of chapter 2 which is 50% done, so i was wondering if the translator that had that chapter registered stopped or was just busy with RL or whatever else.

Hi there, and first off, thanks for the support. (I think) most of us are aware about 7.5, but I guess the raws aren't readily available, so that section has yet to be added. The TL for chapter 2 is probably just busy with RL stuff. I think he has mentioned that his pace is pretty slow, so you'll just have to wait until he finishes. Though, if you're watching the anime, then you're not missing out on much by reading ahead. Also, please sign your name with four "~" (no spaces, not including quotes). - [[User:Jasou|Jasou]] ([[User talk:Jasou|talk]]) 14:03, 2 January 2013 (CST)

Hey Anon visitor. So we do know about volume 7.5 and I will do them when I have time. Also, in regards to Ch2, I'm not the one who is doing it, so you won't get the updates for it until the TL comes back to do it. However, I do suggest checking out NanoDesu who are doing a great job at translating Sakurasou as well. We aren't working together with them, but we still support them full heartedly for what they are doing. I think they are on Ch2 ATM, and will finish that chapter earlier than us.

The recent updates (Vol1 Ch3, 4, Vol2 ch1, 2 & 4) were done by me, so that's why it was updated regularly. But don't expect Ch3 of Vol2, because I'm not the one who's doing that chapter.

Here's the link for NanoDesu- http://sakurasouthetranslation.wordpress.com/volume-1/chapter-2/chapter-2-3/

Please give them and us lots of love and support.[[User:Monkeii12|Monkeii12]] ([[User talk:Monkeii12|talk]]) 15:44, 2 January 2013 (CST)

Eh bro so sry. I'm really busy with my stocks now. Index isn't looking very well and bears are taking control of the market. So kinda busy. So so sry. :( Maybe you can go read at NanoDesu or sth if you want to (if you can read difficult words) lol. Thx for supporting BT and all btw. XD And yeah I'll do the update ASAP when I have time to type them out ltr (I'm done with the TL part). So sry again. --[[user:Magykalman|Magykalman]]
