Re: Book 1, chapter 2

Another one...

I'm not so sure about this part. (this is after Shingo and Takeya got chopped up, and after explaining how the wind spirits are like bees, before Ayano shows up)

All the wind spirits should obey Kazuma. [What belongs to Him] The covenant certainly reflected this kind of meaning. For example—— <!--Unclear, please check -->
“That’s impossible…”

Kazuma thinking of the worst-case scenario, weakly sighs saying.
it says "for example" and then....nothing....

Edit: also...right after that
Just thinking about it brought shivers not from cold, but it couldn’t be said to be good luck —— no matter what, Kazuma didn’t want to think that—— but right then it wasn't the best time to stop and think.
what is this about shivers not from the cold....but being from good luck? huh?

Edit 2: Ok last thing (this is towards the very end of the story, only a few lines up)
What he realized then was that the guilty person who killed Shingo and Takeya, no matter how you described it, was Kazuma, furthermore, apparently, he had also killed Oogami Masato.

(They want to enter into a complete war with the Kannagi clan? If that’s the case, it might be quite interesting, allowing people to get excited… then, how will it progress?)
this section actually isnt too bad. I just wanted to double check if the statement is to say Kazuma realized he is being set up, and whether it says that they want to enter a war with the Kannagi clan, or whether they want him to enter a war with them.

zzz... sorry, i went to sleep...
Anyways, it took me a while to find the portion, so here goes...
All the wind spirits should obey Kazuma's command, the spirits' contract with "that person", must contain this kind of law[rule]. But it happened......

"An exception."

As he imagines the worst case scenario, Kazuma gives off a powerless moan.
Seems a little unclear, i am guessing that it should be that the spirits' contract with "that person"[perhaps lord of wind spirits?] must contain the law/rule that they should obey the contractor Kazuma?
It makes one lose his enthusiasm[or drive etc?] just thinking about it. But perhaps this could be considered lucky------ Of course, Kazuma does not want to think this way at all, he now has no spare effort to indulge in thought.
Dont ask me why it may be lucky either. =X
From the looks of things now, the one who killed Shingo and Takeya has made me his scapegoat? If even the murder of Oogami Masato is blamed on me------ [or And if they think that i am the one who killed Oogami Masato as well------]

(Will this become an all-out war with the Kannagi? seems interesting, but the feeling that i am being toyed with by someone else sucks......

So then, what should i do next[or now]......)
I guess this is all, hope i answered all questions =X

It looks correct. It seems to be a "subtle" allusion to the fact that Kazuma is a Contractor.

Alright! Chapter 2 is finally all fixed, big thanks to Shadow for the retranslations.

O man, it was so hard to edit such a dysfunctional chapter, i never expected it to take so long on it.

But by no means is it perfect... it probably needs another pair of eyes to fine-tune it.

But anyways, ill take a look at chapter 3, and then its gonna be chapter 4 where we are gonna havta repeat this all over again.

Shadow, ill be countin' on ya!

By the way, I pulled some of the honorifics from the manga (couldn't find the novel raws :/), so if you see any that need to be made, feel free to enact the following changes:
Ren -> Ayano: Nee-sama
Ren -> Kazuma: Nii-sama
Ayano -> Juugo: Otou-sama

The manga starts after Ryuuya is already defeated, so if anyone knows how Ren/Kazuma address their father, feel free to add it.

Btw, I should add that going over the earlier chapters is a tremendous undertaking, you should be proud Image

Just because of the huge amount of time i spent researching the name and artists of the song.

I have decided to specifically point out that i have changed Kazuma's ringtone.

from:
“Duuuuuuuuuuu-----“ [feel free to put in some other expression for a phone ringing ~.~ or input your favorite or some funny ringtone here, actual text sounds something like dulululululu~]

Staring at constantly ringing hand phone, he curses himself, why did I forget to set it to voice mailbox. Even with that said, he cannot just switch his phone off now.

“Duuuuuuuuuuu-----“

The monotone ringing continues, Kazuma did not pick up the phone, instead he begins to think of the people who knows his number one by one, trying to avoid reality.

“Duuuuuuuuuuu-----“

”Ahhh! It’s so noisy!”
to-
“Bure Bure Bure Bure ”
[feel free to put in some other expression for a phone ringing ~.~ or input your favorite or some funny ringtone here, actual text sounds something like dulululululu~] [Ed: I have decided that Kazuma’s ringtone would be Hito Toshite Jiku ga Bureteiru, from Ootsuki Kenji feat. Nonaka Ai & Inoue Marina & Kobayashi Yuu & Sawashiro Miyuki & Shintani Ryouko, also known as the second OP from the anime series Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. It translates to “twist twist twist twist”]

woah. does those script notes not hidden?

if not, i think it's best to hide them, it doesn't look that great when you got comments litter all over the script when you're reading it.

either hide it for only editors to read or put it on the discussion page linked back to it.

Yeah, the comments were not hidden in the original tranlation, so i left it like that

I dont know if it was intentional or not (its only a few, and they are mostly parts where the translator changed the original text to something else, and was letting the reader know what the author really wrote as a comparason)

personally, i liked the comments as is, even as a reader, which was why i never changed them

Thank you for that comment.

It was actually for the editor who may be more proficient in the language than me to make changes. It was meant to be removed when the editor thinks it is good enough. But i guess it is okay too?

It is the least i could do for my lack of vocab and poor language.

Anyways, i am bad at sound/name translations, thus i left that note for people to choose their own ringtone. that is all ^^

officially, it's advised that you at leased move the notes to the end of the script.

This is more or less presentation, it cleans the script layout and organise the notes for the chapter.

Now i'll do it myself, but don't have the time right now.

so i'll just leave it there for now.

but please, notes should be organised and not just dumped all over the script, it looks scruffy and not very nice.
