Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu

[dragonst]

Thanks for all the help and support people! I'll try to get chapter 2 out as fast as I can, but then I'll probably be moving back to toradora to finish up volume 9 before coming back to nogizaka. So be prepared to wait for a while after chapter 2 =/

The novel is more indepth and is much better, as compared to the anime's "Shiina's triple meeting makes it fate", things go natural and interesting, and much more acceptable... Stay tuned to find out more!! And keep it up dragonst!!

That true, but I feel like Yuuto is a bit more of a jerk so far. And he's completely got no goals. I hate it when the main characters are set up like supporting characters.

[dragonst]

Well I won't go so far as to label him a jerk, but I agree that he is kinda stupid -_- But then, Haruka's just as stupid isn't she o_O

[Dan]

Yes, if she wasn't hot and rich, they would suit each other perfectly.

[dragonst]

I like the second one!

[Darklor]

Of those: two or four

and dont forget to move also viewtopic.php?f=44&t=2926 into this new under forum

Chapter 2 is up. Due to the fact that I rushed this chapter so that I can hop over to toradora for a while, and that the bulk of the script was done during the last 24 hours in between dota games (the time now is about 2am over here in sunny Singapore), expect bad grammer, weird expressions, stupid conversations and lousy spelling. You have been warned.

PS. You should still be able to get the gist of the plot though. The keyword is SHOULD.

You have been warned.

Some sentences are even missing
I will add the Japanese sentences directly in the chapter

[dragonst]

Well, that was one thing I wasn't expecting

Maybe I'll go over it again when I wake up. MAYBE

Much as I want to blame my raws for the missing sentences, it should be my oversight.

PS. Are there any chunks of text missing like the previous time?

Two small sentences :"....." and "Ah, yes"

A paragraph:

春香がぱっと顔を輝《かがや》かせる。
「よ、良かったです。初めて行く場所なので一人じゃ心許《こころもと》なくて……裕《ゆうと》人さんに断られたらやめようかと思ってたんですよ」
　うーん、何やらやたらと喜んでくれてるな。まあこっちとしては素直《すなお》に嬉《うれ》しいが。
「で、買い物ってどこに行くんだ？」
　根本的なことを尋《たず》ねると、『白銀の星屑《ニユイ・エトワーレ》』はそれだけで巷《ちまた》の思春期な男子中高生の実に十割を恋に落としそうなスバラシイ笑顔《えがお》で、こう答えたのだった。
「はい。アキハバラに、です」
　まあつまり……そういうことなのである。これこそが乃木坂春香《のぎざかはるか》の秘密《ひみつ》。俺だけが知っている「白銀の星屑《ニユイ・エトワーレ》』の意外《いがい》な一面にして、彼女と俺とをつなぐ奇妙《きみょう》な糸。
　そう。
　何というか、乃木坂春香は……プチアキバ系なのである。

But I'm only at the beginning.

[edit]I've added a lot of Japanese sentences in chapter 2.

[Vaelis]

In fact the beginning of the prologue is also missing.
I will take a look at chapter 1.

[dragonst]

Hmm only the last two japanese sentences in part 4 are in my raws. All the other missing parts aren't

[Vaelis]

I've translated what I could in chapter 1 and chapter 2.

Hmm only the last two japanese sentences in part 4 are in my raws. All the other missing parts aren't

And what about the first half of the prologue?

[Vaelis]

If someone wants to check this (I'm not really confident in the translation)

Haruka beamed suddenly.
"Th...thank you. Because it's my first time going there, I'd feel insecure by myself... I was thinking of what to do if Yuuto-san turned me down."
Hmm, for some reason I would accept with excessive pleasure. You might say I was extremely happy.
"By shopping, do you mean...?"
When I asked such a fundamental thing, she answered with a beautiful smile to the extend that 100% of the highschool boys in the street would fall in love with the 'Nuit étoile'.
"Yes. Akihabara"
Well in a word... I got it now. This is the secret of Nogizaka Haruka. A strange string that ties her and me, a surprising side of the 'Nuit étoile' that I'm the only one to know.
So.
What can I say... Nogizaka Haruka... is an otaku.

I'll give the japanese lines a shot on monday. Also perhaps shadow could check his version?
