Sheesh deskoh did 40% in 4 days and that's not enough? How the heck is that considered slow? He's having exams somewhere near next month, and yet he's still taking the time to translate for us. The prologue is very long, mind you, so just be grateful that you're getting any translated at all.

sorry for the slow replies. haven't been online for a while.
regarding the translation, sorry to disappoint. at first I wanted to make it 55% before exams but my mother's health had a bit of problem (gallstones actually) so that kept me busy. this sounds like a very convenient excuse but I swear I am not lying.
exams have started for me. on my side it is currently monday evening (30/4). exams will end next friday (11/5). it is gonna be nearly two weeks and I do apologise. but I would attempt to reach 70% by 13/5 to make up for the lost time.
the prologue also happens to be the longest chapter at nearly 60 pages. the other 3 chapters are about 30 pages each. so I seek your understanding if the progress seems slow.
in the meantime, like bicube suggested. get bakafish to start work or something so a big chunk will be done by the time I am done. no offence bakafish.

good luck on your "exam hell"!
Remember, it's not the end of the world if it doesn't go the way you thought it should.
just think of all those poor Japanese kids who couldn't take it, and left behind unfinished eroge, manga, anime series, FFXXVIII, and finally lots of light yummy novels, oh and family.
Yes. don't let their sacrifices be in vain, when all is done, we will all be waiting for you and your translations. some more then others. be wary of them. they might bite and rape you. (TGM, GuestLol, Seth,Umi,Dan)
