hello everyone,
I just tried to translate chapter 1 of volume 3 of this novel, well, it's still half the way though.
I think probably I have made a mistake when translating whether it's a name or something else so I added the original script on some parts. Also, I don't have a confidence either at my english, so if you find a mistake, feel free to fix it. I just tried to help and it also to train my knowledge of both english and japanese language.
Spoiler! :
Chapter 1

16
Chirp chirp...
A sound of a little bird twittering. Refreshing sunlight shines obliquely through the windows.
"...Uu...n"
Six o'clock of early morning. Kamito wakes up while rubbing his sleepy eyes.
Combing his disheveled black hair with his hand, for starter, he confirms of the blankets as usual.
"Great, it's safe today"
Kamito let out a deep breath of his relieved feeling.
Recently, he cannot let down his guard because there might be a possibilities of a spirit sword has been lying naked there.
With that spirit in mind, he quickly fold his blankets and get up.
"...I have to make breakfast"
As the breakfast of Claire who is his roommate, it had been decided that Kamito makes it every morning.
Well, he doesn't originally hate cooking, and he has no complaint because he was just a free-loader here.
"Toast with a salad and bacon-egg... Shall I going for boiled egg for today, I wonder"
Anyway, there is a team battle game which they can't lose no matter what this morning.
He want to feed his two teammates and his swords spirit partner something good to raise their spirit.

17
It's been one week after the mission in that Mine City.
A new member has joined the Team Scarlet.
She is the former of Ordesia Empire’s second princess and also second-ranked "Miko-princess" of <<God's ceremony academy>>. (しんぎ臣んひ助岳ニオルデシア帝国の元第二王女にして<神儀院>第二位の姫巫女。)
Fianna Ray Ordesia.
She was called as The Lost Queen once, and in order to regain her power of spirits contractors, she was trying to wheedle Kamito to participate in the "Blade Dance".
In the end, she keep remaining in the academy even though she was able to regained her power of the spirits contractors by her own power, and he wonder why, she joining Team
Scarlet.
Claire welcomed her to the team reluctantly with a displeased feeling, partly due to the fact that 'Blade Dance' would be held in several weeks.
Unlike three-year ago which was an individual match, this year spirits sword dance festival is a team game. If we couldn't gathered 5 people as a team, we even haven't obtained
an entry for qualifications.
Besides, the strength of Fianna's spirit when she regained her power of spirits contractors, even Claire must admit it.
Until she had graduate from training system of spirit princess at <<God's ceremony academy>>, she had never been receiving a battle training. Instead she can do variegated battle
support by dancing a ceremonial Kagura dance and music.
Moreover, her contract spirit <<Georgios>> is a knight spirit with the speciality of <<Defense>> which made a great help at Kamito and others.
By she joining the team, the balance of the team has more of a sense of stability. It have been proved With the achievement of the S rank mission in Mine city. And successive
victories in an academy's team battle game.

18
Now, Team Scarlet's academy ranking is raising in a great spirit.
In this condition, it is not a dream to catch up with Ellis's team which is currently in third place.
"And, I hope those two can become more friendly to each other"
He sighed while shrugged his shoulder and heading to the kitchen--
"Nn?"
A rich sweet smell was floating in the air. It's kinda bitter scent of something burnt...
(This smell...... By any chance, is it chocolate?)
Kamito frowned and starting to got near on tiptoe.
From the gap of the door, When he quietly looking into kitchen--
"Hey, what on earth do you putting in the melting pot?"
"Fufun, it's a roasted newt I've mashed before♪"
He heard the voice of Claire and Fianna.
"Wh-What are you thinking? Don't put in that kind of disgusting thing"
"Ara, I had usually use this when I'm at <<God's ceremony Academy>>. I heard it has an effect of as an aphrodisiac."
"A-aphrodisiac..."
"Yes, if he eat this, Kamito-kun might also show his true character of the Devil of night, and he would attack me at midnight."

19
"A-attack... What on earth are you going to do?"
"Let's see... It's of course, charming him to doing an ecchi stuff"
"charming him... N-no way, even he, wouldn't do such a thing---"
"Moreover, it's just the two of us"
"Just two of you..."
"I don't even surprised about such a thing would be happens if it's Kamito-kun"
"W-wh, wh-wh-what a guy... I-I wont forgive that pervert, turning him into cinders, cinders."
While she let out a trembling voice, *PASHIN BASHIN* there are some sound like a striking of her whip.
(These girl...)
Kamito is twitching his cramp temple.
Somehow, he feel that an enormous spirit of prestige he had before had disappeared
(...Rather, since when did I've become the Devil of night)
And while Kamito was enduring to an unreasonable treatment, those two princess's conversation continued.
"Fufu, However, aggressive Kamito on his devil of the night mode isn't good either occassionally"
"Th-That is... Unn, a-anyway, that won't do, putting in that kind of suspicious thing, what will you do if it breaks that person's stomach before a battle game"
"Ara, back to you, Claire, are you going to make him eat that burnt cinders?"
"Ju-Just shut up, will you..."

20
(...Cinders?)
When Kamito seeing into the kitchen, some black lumps was served on the plate.
Coal for heater...It seems not.
"Really, a nickname of a "Hell Cat Girl" isn't just for show. Because you would turns everything to cinders."
"...I don't want to be told that by fake breast princess"
"Ara, even without a pad, mine is bigger than Claire's forever though?"
"I-It looks like you want that extra fat of yours get burned, Princess-sama"
A lively spark is scattered between those two. ...They are so energetic from early morning.
Somehow, it become an explosive situation kind of atmosphere
"Hey, what are you guys doing?"
Kamito is finally showed up in the kitchen.
"Fua, Kamito!?" "Kamito-kun!?"
When these two were shocked and turned around, they hid something on their back agitatedly.
"Y-You.. already woken up, huh"
"Yeah, because it is a battle game today, so I wanted to make breakfast a little early than usual--"
Thereupon, Kamito stopped his words involuntarily.
His eyes were glued to Claire who turned her back.
"Y-You, that dress..."

21
"W-what... If it's not looks good, just go and say it then?"
Claire blushed her cheeks, and was suddenly facing away.
Her twin tailed red hair shakes slightly.
A transparent ruby pupil, smooth white skin, and her lip color which like a sakura's dainty bud.
Just the swelling of her breast is gently-sloping, her proportion is attractive more than enough, although he does not want to admit it...To tell the truth, she is really cute.
And do not know why, Claire, now, was not in her usual uniform she have always been familiar with.
She wears a very cute, ruffled apron.
What a vexing feeling... For a moment, I've seriously felt dizzy .
A small hat can match well with her petite body, and it's so lovely that it is a foul play.
Kamito raised his hand to trying showed his defeat.
"No, that really suits you... So lovely"
"...Wh, Wh-wh, what are you saying, baka, bakabakabaka!"
*Blushing red*
Claire who blushed more and more strikes chest of Kamito repeatedly.
"Errr, Kamito-kun... What about me?"
Fianna said so while pointing her index finger in front of her mouth demurely,

22
She wears a black dress-style uniform, and also an apron matching with Claire.
The charming black hair that is reaches her waist. And a profound valley which sticks out from the chest area of her uniform.
Her gray colored pupil framed by lovely eyelash fills with mysterious light somehow.
Fianna the former princess, she is beautiful girl similar to Claire.
"...Do I have to say it?"
"As for the girl, when you properly put it into words, I will be very happy"
Fufu, Fianna teasing me with a mischievous smile
Kamito leaked a sigh as he gave up.
"Fianna is also beatiful...Wait, what are you trying to make me say from early morning--"
"Fufu, Kamito, you are unexpectedly that kind of person."
"You who made me to say that..."
Kamito secretly glare with half-opened eyes to Fianna who laughs gigglingly.
"Putting that aside, what are you guys doing exactly? What are you guys hiding on your back?"
"Th-That is..."
Claire and Fianna suddenly blushed red, and was entwined their fingers hesitantly.
"Ng?"
When Kamito frowned and try to pursue it--
"Cho-Chocolate!"

24
Clare shouted and taking a defiant attitude.
"Chocolate? Did you even woke up just for make a chocolate?"
"Well, sort of. Look there will be <<St. Valentine's Day>> soon. Therefore, umm, it's a training...Do-Don't take me wrong, I just have you to testing it, no more no less..."
St. Valentine's Day.
A Hundreds of years ago, it was to commemorate the spirit princess, who had been served by the lord spirit of fire, "Valentia-Saderuka", and in the Ordesia Empire that is a popular
ceremony.
It was supposed to be a ceremony that dedicates a food which was burned by the spirit of flame of purification, but when it has been passed from one people to another, it became [Day when one gives chocolate to the opposite sex that we had a favor of]
"Ng? But if it's for the opposite sex, this academy is supposed to be all-girls only, isn't it..."
When Kamito points out of it--
"O-Of course it is, Because this is a friendship chocolate given to the friend! You're nothing but a tester. Really, I wonder what are you expecting of, you lowly pig!"
Claire volubly shouts with bright red face.
"So mean. Rather, you don't have a friend, do you?"
"I have if it's just a friend! Like Scarlet it is, also... Err, or a stray cat which has attached in the yard of academy."

25
"...Sorry, it's my bad"
...Apparently, he seems to has stepped on a land mine.
"A-anyway, this, I made it all the way, so eat it gratefully!"
Claire said so with angry tone, and a lump of charcoal (例の消し炭の塊) was thrusted out in front of Kamito.
"Ugh...Th-this... Can it be eaten?"
"What's your problem... I even woke up early to made it!"
"No, I appreciate it, but..."
"Kamito-kun, just forget such cinders, I will let you to eat my chocolate, you know"
*Boing*
"Fianna!?"
Suddenly, the former princess who smiling devil, has been pushing her soft breast.
*squeeze* a heart-shaped chocolate got sandwiched between her cleavage which is large enough to not even need such as pads.
Unlike Claire's charcoal, though from its appearance seems to be able to be eaten, but he must not be deceived.
This little devil princess, her murderer-rank cooking skill in a certain meaning is higher than Claire.
(...It seems she said something about aphrodisiac before)
"Kamito, eat my chocolate quickly!"
"Hey, don't interfere with my Kamito-kun love love plan!"

26
Two persons present a chocolate while pushing to each other tightly.
"Well, such sweet thing from an early in the morning is a bit..."
Kamito draws back staggeringly.
And, at that time.
Suddenly, the door of living room was opened-
"Kamito, I also made a chocolate."
"E-Est"
A lovely girl like a snow fairy has appeared.
silvery white hair that shines brilliantly. White bare skin that smooth as milk.
And, her transparent bluish purple eyes that was sealed by a pale glow.
Falchion Est.
She was a 'Sealed Spirit' that possessed extremely powerful strength and made a spirit contract with Kamito a several weeks ago.
"......"
Kamito opens wide his eyes and froze.
Clare and Fianna also at loss for words.
Est's appearance while she was born almost was there.
I said almost, because she still wearing a black knee socks in her leg, but--

27
Her appearance commonly called as knee sock naked is more sensational in a certain meaning than stark naked.
"Est, that's a crime"
"Is Est a criminal?"
*astonished* Est tilts her head curiously.
"Yeah, Est is a naughty criminals"
Kamito might be confused to had spoken the words he didn't even understand.
"It is regrettable. I thought that Kamito was pleased with such appearance."
"What kind of people was you seen your contractors as..."
Kamito gives a deep sigh with half-opened eyes.
"So, what was that about Est also made a chocolate?"
The chocolate was nothing to be found on Est's hand.
Instead, she was holding a small tube of fabric.
The one that is used to decorate cakes.
"Yes, here is"
When Est nods expressionlessly--
*にゅるるんっ。*
"Wh--"
How could it be, on the smooth, white skin, its anchor began to make a character with the chocolate!

Hi, I see you're using text extracted using OCR, because 白分 is a common error for 自分. If you encounter something weird, cross check with the original text.

There are certain terms already standardized, you can refer them at here. For 〈願い〉 brackets, could you use <<wish>> to represent it?

I only looked at it briefly, it looks fine, translation-wise. However, the other translations have all been using third-person view, so, you should be using third-person for your further translations. If possible, it'll be good to mark each pages, this makes it easier for other translators to refer and check.

The sentences will require some editing.

First, thank you for the response.
And, I haven't take a look of Names and Terminology Guidelines yet. Sorry, it's my bad.
also yes, I used OCR and again, my bad, I forgot to crosscheck the font...
I'll be more careful from now on, and of course I just trying to contribute so whether my translation is going to be used or not, I'll leave it to you. ^_^

I guess go ahead, but it needs name standardizing, and tense and 3rd-person view conversion. And some editing.

I'll re-look at it in-depth when vol 2 chapter 6 is done.

Spoiler! :
Well there is the five main elements, fire, ice, wind, earth, and holy. Then there's also darkness, sword spirits, beast type spirits, and a bunch of other classiications. So far I don't think they've really talked about how the spirits are ranked, just that Kamito's current and ex contracted spirit are th strongest in their class. The strongest fire elemental spirit is mentioned. Oh there's also dragon class spirits, let's not forget about that. As far as ranking goes, the author never really mentioned about how the spirits are ranked. Just that about all the important characters so far have pretty high ranking spirits.

You're welcome, lols. Since blade dance is now one of the few series I actually keep tabs on, but you might wanna read it for yourself and confirm. As I've read it a long time ago and might not remember a lot of the details.

Although having the same age, the fact that the girl was participating in the Blade Dance, was very regretful.
I am a little bit uncomfortable with the word "regretful", but I don't have a better alternative myself.

The original word is "その事実がーー純粋に悔しい".
