“—Whatever you want I will give you.”
He said so, then reached out a hand to me who lost everything.
The me then probably stared at him with eyes cold as glass beads, and gave him my hand like a mechanical doll – I still remember his warmth made my tears, which was thought to be dried up, burst out.
Live for him, this line seems to become my goal.
He kept his promise, gave me everything I wanted, other than the last strong desire that I couldn’t say.
His wish, his desire, let me finish it--.

After making sure that Shuurei is deep asleep, Ryuuki abruptly sat up. With his hands lightly searching around the pillow, he took out a “certain object” under the mattress when he touched a hump.
“… … it’s a sachet… …”
Ryuuki put the sachet into his arms and walked down the bed, walking in the room as usual, and searched around the room. Even though there are no lights, his steps has no hesitation. Searching under the mattress with his hands, he found a paper man stuck underneath this time.
Shaking this seemingly ominous paper man, he stacked it and kept in his arms too.
Other than that, he first found 3 paper man that night, then he took out aroma wood from the furnace, he checked the desk interior and removed the shaving knives, opened the dressing box and tried all the cosmetic inside, his actions appear rather smooth. He finally took the silver tea set given by Shouka and examined it under the moon light carefully.

Ryuuki squinted his eyes, and slowly examined the silver cups.
As he examine, he looks at Shuurei sleeping soundly on the bed.
The serene sleeping Shuurei made Ryuuki’s expressions gentler, but quickly, he turned and looked at the numerous “battle spoils” he confiscated that night, he can’t help folding his eyebrow.
“… … it’s almost time.”

Recently losing things –Shuurei thinks.
From a honourable family, Shuurei shouldn’t mind these small matters, yet Shuurei has developed the habit to take note of the things around her. Taking hold of all the resources, using the resources to its fullest is the first step to frugal.
Hence with Shuurei’s keen eyes, she soon discovered a lot of small objects disappearing.
Furthermore… …
Strangely, they will reappear in another unique way. No, should say that—
“… … This is for me?”
General Ran passed a sachet while smiling, stating that this is the trinkets most popular with young girls.
“I think this sachet can showcase Lady Shuurei’s pureness, while helping with sleep.”
Winking while saying, and sent a kiss. A handsome man doing this action is especially charming.
And Kouyuu gave a stationary case, inkstone, and brush etc, all kinds of stationary included.
“—Work hard, you have a lot of potential, don’t take this as tool box.”

That is a silver coated raden (Note: Lacquer or carving utensils’s surface, embed with different kinds of thin shells as decorations, are known as raden.) art masterpiece, and Kouyuu also unconsciously used the highest compliments “highly potential” on Shuurei, made Shuurei who always secretly admire Kouyuu’s knowledge very happy, after calming down then she realise that her stationary box just disappeared recently.

==Chapter 3: The truth in the darkness==

In the midst of pitch darkness, cherry blossom petals continued to fall without end.

A figure approached. When he realized I was there, he smiled.

Like a small ripple, a warm feeling spread through my heart. So happy…

When I tried to approach, that person went back the way they came.

---……brother…?

Chasing after the figure that distances itself. But regardless of how much I run, the gap continues to widen.

The hand that reaches out so desperately is so small, like a maple leaf.

--Why……

I felt like crying. That was the only person there for me.

Don’t go. Don’t go.

Don’t leave me alone.

The cherry blossoms blew away. They became wisterias, they became sweet osmanthus…… they became snowflakes.

The figure blended in with the snow, and vanished.

I kept waiting. Through spring, through summer, through autumn, through winter. Always.

--Don’t go.

I don’t even dare to say those words.

--Don’t go.

Just as I felt I was about to fall to my knees in despair, someone grabbed my hand firmly from behind.

Surprised. ……I turned around slowly.

--Waking with a start, the familiar face of a guard was right beside him.

“……Sei-ran……?”

“Forgive me for presuming to enter without our permission. You were crying out in your sleep……”

The emperor slowly sat up on his bed. After taking the evening meal together with Shuurei and returning to his chambers, he’d apparently fell asleep.

He was covered in cold sweat. When he thought to wipe the sweat from his bow, the emperor finally realized that he was holding Seiran’s hand.

Raising his arm while still holding that hand, Seiran hurriedly explained, "Ahhh...... umm, you reached out your hand and I unthinkingly...... I beg your pardon.

The Emperor still holding onto that hand, shook it up and down a couple of times.

"......Y-your majesty?"

Stopping his hands, the Emperor smiled.

"How about sleeping with me tonight, Seiran."

Seiran froze instantly. With an expression of having drunk pure vinegar on his face, it was obvious that he was trying, with all his might, to find some way out of his difficult situation. The Emperor cocked his head slightly.

"You don't want to."

"No...... Um, everyone has their own preferences. That is...

"I'm kidding," the Emperor said simply to a flustered Seiran, and smiled. "I just decided. I won't sleep with you."

"Whew......"

"It'd be too much of a waste."

"............"

Seiran wisely stayed silent.

The Emperor stared intently at Seiran.

"......as I thought. Seiran, aren't you a bit too masculine? Even though we're of a fairly similar age."

Having such a thing said so solemnly, Seiran was once again at a loss as to how to reply.

"I've been thinking recently, that it seems that Shuurei relies on you more than on me."

"............"

"You're a good man, so I can understand that. Also, you've been living together a long time. But, as Shuurei's husband, there are times when it annoys me."

"............"

"So, I think I'll go and bridge the gap with my wife."

The Emperor was very serious. Seiran trying to discern his intentions hesitantly asked, "And, i-in what way......?"

The Emperor tilted his head and thought silently for a moment when he suddenly came up with a plan, "I know, I'll have her call me by name as well."

And reluctantly letting go of Seiran's hand, he quickly jumped out of bed.

"There's no need to guard my chambers tonight."

The Emperor started walking away wearing only his nightwear, astonishing Seiran.

"W-wait a moment!"

"Hm?"

"You'll catch a cold! For all that it's spring, it still gets cold at night, so you should wear something on top."

The Emperor laughed, "While I like Shuurei, I also like you, Seiran."

Leaving a beautifully shocked frozen Seiran behind, the Emperor ended up leaving his chambers wearing only his nightwear afterall.

The moon shone brightly that night.

The Emperor thought back over the past month as the cool breeze brushed his cheek.

His heart was surprisingly calm. He thought that this was what it meant to be at peace. Even when being scolded by Shuurei too for some reason would make him very happy, his face would relax resulting in Shuurei getting even angrier with him. Wanting to experience that more, he'd lied about a number of things but, he figured it was fine. --because Shuurei's face when angry was very cute.

Having someone be concerned about oneself.

That it would bring such happiness.

The Emperor dropped his gaze to both his palms --The many things he should be able to grasp in his hands. Was Shuurei's smile one of those things. He then realised that if he closed his hand, he could grasp it. But if he continued, as he had up until then, and left his hands open, it would fall through his fingers---.

Up until then, he'd only had the barest of things in his hands.

Shouka, his place in the archives, the time he spent there-- those sorts of things which *to him* were very important, but small things. But he'd thought that it was fine that way. He long since given up wanting very much. --Except for one thing.

For that, he'd taken the throne he hadn't wanted. To him, it was only a temporary position. He wasn't the one who should be there. To protect the empty throne, being an Emperor in name, for when *that person* eventually returned. That's why while having taken the throne, he refused to be Emperor.

But then he met Shuurei.

He thought about if he could have her who had such unusual warmth. However, that was the same as letting go of the wish he'd so fervently hoped for up until then. She was a consort. Unless he were "Emperor" she couldn't be his. A breeze blew past. He looked at his palm-- and after a long moment slowly closed his fist.

Shusui looked up at the moon from inside the room.

"Time passed by so fast. --Has it been a month now?"

Shuurei leaned back against the sofa and sighed.

"How true. I wonder whether my coming here was worth it?"

"Of course."

Shusui squinted her eyes delightfully.

"The emperor seems to have changed in such a short time, slowly showing the prestige of a emperor. Hold the court every morning, then studied in the afternoon with the teachers, didn't Sho-Tai Shi say too, the impression of the emperor to all officals are already changing."

"Haha, you are right. The emperor has been hardworking, heard that he can voice out his opinions in the court now. Also, his majesty often voice out unexpected, sharp views in his lessons. Although he always is rebutted by Kouyuu-sama."

But Kouyuu also will listen to Ryuuki's opinions. Shuei disclosed that Kouyuu willing to listen to Ryuuki's opinions is already rare. If it is some insignificant things, he will settled it before rebutting.

"However, His majesty is still summoning men to his chamber every night......"

Only this point cannot be corrected. But, if Ryuuki changed back to straight will cause problems to Shuurei too.

''Ta Ta'' Footstep sounds can be heard, Shuurei immediately readjust her sitting position. The person is Korin, holding a cup of fragrant tea in her hands.

"Exactly, we are troubled by it too."

Shusui watched Korin walk in, laughing:

"You have been eating with His Majesty, spending so much time together, and so close together, so why do u sleep separately at night? However everyone thinks it is just a matter of time, right? Korin."

Korin became energetic upon hearing, blushing.

"Everyone says that His Majesty treasure Consort Kou, since both are still young, feelings can be cultivated slowly, but the older officals are dying to see the birth of the princes and princesses soon."

(Miss!) Shuurei can only shout in her heart.

"The maids has arranged the schedule, Consort Kou."

Hearing Korin's innocent reply, Shuurei almost dropped the tea cup. Schedule? What schedule!?

Shuurei focused all her attention on her face, trying to maintain her expressions to prevent cramps, managed to squeeze out a smile.

"......This, Korin, I appreciate your help, This, This thing needs the natural flow, and cannot be rushed, so thanks for your care."

Korin showed a expression of disappointment, but immediately show an adorable smile. Such a charming smile makes even Shuurei to want to move forward to hug her.

(......Hai, Hai, if only I was as cute as her......)

After comparing, her mood fell, as such she can't even compete with the beautiful Shusei.

"--Then please rest well, Consort Kou."

Korin retreat humbly, --Next moment, she rushed back. Seeing Korin rush in, Shuurei and Shusei got shocked at the same time. Rarely sees a strictly trained maid rushing.

"Oh no!"

Korin expressed agitated:

"His Majesty is here--!"

"......It's so late already, is there a matter?"

Ryuuki did not reply Shuurei's first question immediately.

Undid her hair, long flowing hair made Shuurei look more appealing, Ryuuki observed from head to bottom then whispered:

"Ern..... I am here to bridge our gap."

"Ah? Gap?"

This man has always do random things, this action is even more confusing. Shuurei stunned, but found Ryuuki holding a stalk of rose in her right hand.

"......Ah, is this for me?"

Ryuuki nod like a kid.

"Really, what gap, if you want to gift flowers can just say it directly.... ah, you won't pick up the flower with your bare hand!? See! Full of injuries on your palm!"

Shuurei stared at Ryuuki's hand holding the rose, cannot help but raise her eyebrows.

"And why are you wearing so thin! Look at you shivering in the cold, nights in summer are still cold, why are you outside without wearing a coat!"

Shuurei dragged Ryuuki in without a word.

Seeing Shuurei's reaction same as Seiran's, Ryuuki smiled. .......Wearing thin is indeed the right choice.

First time entering Shuurei's chamber, Ryuuki looked around curiously. His view stopped at a flower in the vase. Place in the big vase is a......?

".......Pink rose......"

Ryuuki pluck a whitish yellow rose, hearing his soft voice, Shuurei answered:

"Ah, that is delivered by Seiran in the day, he said the rose bloomed."

Ryuuki frowned. ......indeed, Seiran is really a perfect man, always winning in every aspects.

But Shuurei misunderstood the sad expression of Ryuuki.

"Ah, I have not thank you yet. So sorry, I really like these flowers, Thank You."

Shuurei's smile made Ryuuki relieve.

Shuurei placed the rose in the vase in a neat action, and let Ryuuki sit on the corner of the bed.

"Come, show me your right hand!"

Ryuuki obediently open his palm, full of blood and thorns, Shuurei frowned:

"Really, why pluck the flower with bare hand? Don't you feel pain?"

It is painful, Ryuuki thinks. He didn't think so much then.

'Wait!"

Shuurei took her medical box, took out the pliers.

"I help u remove the thorns one by one, will take some time."

Holding Ryuuki's hand, Shuurei's eyes become wide open.

"......I say you......"

"En?"

"......Are you training sword?"

Rough palm, with a lot of hard callus. --Similar to Seiran's.

Ryuuki changed his expression slightly, showing a little hesitation.

"......This is the basic homework for royalty."

"Oh?"

Not knowing anything martial arts, Shuurei immediately accept this answer.

Ryuuki is relieved, and immediately remember his inital objective. --Right, I am here to bridge the gap!

"......Shuurei."

"En?"

"Lets call each other by our name."

"Name?"

"My name."

"Oh."

Focusing precise work, Shuurei answer vaguely, once she understand the meaning of the words she stop her action.

"......What?"

"I say, you can call me directly by name."

"......Why, why so sudden?"

"You don't call me by name seems unfair."

"This and fair or unfair......"

Totally not related! Shuurei thinks, but Ryuuki continues to stare.

"If my name is always not used, won't it be too pitiful."

This speech is not related to the previous lines, but they make sense too.

"So it is decided, will call me by name from now on."

"......Call you...... Ryuuki?"

Shuurei can't help muttering, Ryuuki blink, jumping for joy, such a happy smile made Shuurei surprised.

Ryuuki's expression of happiness beats Shuurei.

"......Alright, but only limited to privately."

His Majesty--Ryuuki nod furiously, feeling happy from achieving her initial objectives, then finally feeling the pain from the palm, the sharp pain is really not comfortable.

"Why does rose has thorns?"

Ryuuki angrily complain, Shuurei pluck the thorn while answering:

"Because the princess of rose fell in love with a man."

Ryuuki blinked.

".......What you mean?"

Seeing his reaction, Shuurei got a shocked instead, she raise her head and stare at Ryuuki seriously.

"......You don't know this story?"

Seeing Ryuuki's blur expression, Shuurei's face turn dull. Everyone knows this story, this is a childhood story everyone heard in their childhood, but there is no one around him to tell him story.

Shuurei feel sympathetic, telling the story while plucking the thorns:

"......Very long ago, there is a very beautiful princess, name Rose Princess, she possess a magical power that can heal all illness and injuries, so there is plenty of suitors......"

Shuurei's voice sounds like a lullaby.

And after successfully bridging the gap, the burden in his heart lighten a lot.

And with the nightmare earlier-- although there is Seiran accompanying him making it better-- causing him to be tired, starts to snore off. This time he can finally......have a good sleep.

After Shuurei finished the story, she has finished the treatment too.

"Ok, job well done."

Shuurei raise her head, saw Ryuuki sleeping like a log, can't help sighing.

"Can't do anything about you."

She moved Ryuuki's big body to the bed, and cover him with the blanket, then Shuurei has a headache. ......Where should I sleep now?

The bed can fit 3 adults, the space is more than sufficient. Seeing him sleep so heavily, impossible to just wake up, and he likes guys, will not cause any problems, so Shuurei came to a decision soon. She just has to wake up before the maids tomorrow.

Just in case, Shuurei also put a pillow in between them as a boundary.

With a pillow in between, with the Emperor and Consort lying at the sides sleeping.

Late at night --- while reading a book in the archives, Shouka raised an eyebrow slightly when he realize he had a visitor.

"--Kouyuu-dono?"

"......I'm sorry to disturb you so late. Would it be all right for me to sleep in the archives tonight?" Seeing the heavy fatigue in his face, Shouka quickly realized the problem. However, the courteous Shouka didn't say anything like 'You got lost again, didn't you'.

"Of course, make yourself comfortable. Although it is small."

"As always, thank you very much."

Despite being silent a long time, Kouyuu was very depressed and rather upset that he'd ended up getting lost in the department of civil affairs where he worked. He didn't think that the cause was because he didn't simply follow along with someone else as he usually did. Perhaps it was possible that a certain ogre of a superior spread some medicine to throw off one's sense of direction. He felt like someone had moved the landmarks as well. Or maybe perhaps......

"......Kouyuu-dono"

At the sound of Shouka's voice, Kouyuu was brought out of his whirling imaginations of victimization.

"Ah, y-yes!?"

"I heard you were summoned by the Senior Secretary of the Department of Civil Affairs but, did something happen?"

Unsure if Shouka noticed his momentary tension, Kouyuu quickly smiled slightly.

"--Yes, about work, a little. ......Ah that's right, there's something I wanted to ask you."

"What is it?"

"It's been about a month since I've been assigned as the Emperor's tutor. During that time, I've wondered about a number of things."

Shouka's expression changed slightly. Kouyuu continued, looking very serious.

"---I'll ask this bluntly. Could it be that the Emperor---"

The next morning, Shuurei woke very slowly.

......For some reason, it's unusually warm. That and something rather heavy is on top of me. It was a strangely comforting weight.

"Unnn......"

While still half in the world of dreams, the sound of the door opening could be heard.

"Kou-kihi-sama, it's morn......"

'It's not Shusui's voice......' as she idly thought that, with the words having been cut off suddenly, for some reason, the sounds of someone rushing out and closing the door could be heard.

"......?"

Shuurei tried to shift her body. But her body didn't budge.

What had been on top of her...... or rather, what had been hanging on to her, wouldn't let her get up. Still half in her dreams, Shuurei forced her eyes open. Looking up slightly, a face was right there. The lowered lashes were very long and together they rankled on Shuurei's nerves.

(......Aaahh-, come to think of it, only his looks are pretty good aren't they--......)

It's completely unlike the strangely childish impression one gets from his manner of speech but....... .......

Shuurei snapped awake at that moment.

(W-w-w-w-w-wait a minute----!!)

Shuurei had been sleeping with Ryuuki holding her. She tried to jump up but his arm was firmly wrapped around her and didn't budge a bit. Given the circumstance, Shuurei's face turned bright red.

"H...hey! Your Majesty! Wake up. Let go of me already. Emperor!!"

"Unnnn......"

Ryuuki sleepily opened his eyes. Finding Shuurei in his arms, he lovingly caressed her cheek with the back of his hand, smiling happily. Then with increasing strength, held her close.

"You said you'd call me by name......"

And he went back to sleep.

Shuurei shrieked.

"Don't sleep! Get up! Wake up. Wake up already----"

The servant who had come to wake Shuurei up today hadn't been Shusui and was the end of her luck.

The rumours had spread in the short time it took for them to eat breakfast.

"The Emperor's has shared his bed with a woman!" that sort of mistaken rumour, however, Shuurei couldn't deny it since she supposedly was his wife.

While she didn't say anything when the servants mentioned it, she complained clearly with her "isn't that nice!". Korin was teary eyed, finished preparing things for the morning meal three times faster than usual, and fled the room as though it would be wrong for her to be there and to leave them to themselves. There wasn't even a servant to wait on them. Shusui alone looked apologetic and stayed in a corner of the room.

Shuurei held her head. She looked at Ryuuki who was calmly eating breakfast resentfully. However, for some reason he was in an extremely good mood.

"......Ahhh sheesh. Why did you go past the pillow-......"

"Your face is red."

"---"

Shuurei threw her tea cup at him. However, Ryuuki caught it without problem. He was used to it now.

"That's dangerous isn't it."

"Unlike you, I'm not immune to that sort of thing! You idiot, you're the worst!!"

Shuurei slumped on the table.

"Ahhh---- Father and Seiran, what're they going to think when they hear this stupid rumour... what'll I do if they believe it-"

Ryuuki frowned annoyed. Shouka aside, "Why do you mention Seiran."

"But, but, but......!! It's the young girl's heart. You won't understand." Shuurei said as though not answering. But somehow, it also seemed to make sense. "............Hey."

"What?"

............Nothing really ended up happening, right?" In truth, Shuurei only had a vague understanding of such things, and therefore couldn't determine on her own if something had or had not in fact happened. Actually, since the Emperor was attracted to men, such things shouldn't happen in the first place but, just in case. Just in case.

However, Ryuuki just looked away. Shuurei paled.

Having someone be concerned about oneself.

That it would bring such happiness.

The Emperor dropped his gaze to both his palms --The many things he should be able to grasp in his hands. Was Shuurei's smile one of those things. He then realised that if he closed his hand, he could grasp it. But if he continued, as he had up until then, and left his hands open, it would fall through his fingers---.

Up until then, he'd only had the barest of things in his hands.

Shouka, his place in the archives, the time he spent there-- those sorts of things which *to him* were very important, but small things. But he'd thought that it was fine that way. He long since given up wanting very much. --Except for one thing.

For that, he'd taken the throne he hadn't wanted. To him, it was only a temporary position. He wasn't the one who should be there. To protect the empty throne, being an Emperor in name, for when *that person* eventually returned. That's why while having taken the throne, he refused to be Emperor.

But then he met Shuurei.

He thought about if he could have her who had such unusual warmth. However, that was the same as letting go of the wish he'd so fervently hoped for up until then. She was a consort. Unless he were "Emperor" she couldn't be his. A breeze blew past. He looked at his palm-- and after a long moment slowly closed his fist.

Shusui looked up at the moon from inside the room.

"Time passed by so fast. --Has it been a month now?"

Shuurei leaned back against the sofa and sighed.

"How true. I wonder whether my coming here was worth it?"

"Of course."

Shusui squinted her eyes delightfully.

"The emperor seems to have changed in such a short time, slowly showing the prestige of a emperor. Hold the court every morning, then studied in the afternoon with the teachers, didn't Sho-Tai Shi say too, the impression of the emperor to all officals are already changing."

"Haha, you are right. The emperor has been hardworking, heard that he can voice out his opinions in the court now. Also, his majesty often voice out unexpected, sharp views in his lessons. Although he always is rebutted by Kouyuu-sama."

But Kouyuu also will listen to Ryuuki's opinions. Shuei disclosed that Kouyuu willing to listen to Ryuuki's opinions is already rare. If it is some insignificant things, he will settled it before rebutting.

"However, His majesty is still summoning men to his chamber every night......"

Only this point cannot be corrected. But, if Ryuuki changed back to straight will cause problems to Shuurei too.

''Ta Ta'' Footstep sounds can be heard, Shuurei immediately readjust her sitting position. The person is Korin, holding a cup of fragrant tea in her hands.

"Exactly, we are troubled by it too."

Shusui watched Korin walk in, laughing:

"You have been eating with His Majesty, spending so much time together, and so close together, so why do u sleep separately at night? However everyone thinks it is just a matter of time, right? Korin."

Korin became energetic upon hearing, blushing.

"Everyone says that His Majesty treasure Consort Kou, since both are still young, feelings can be cultivated slowly, but the older officals are dying to see the birth of the princes and princesses soon."

(Miss!) Shuurei can only shout in her heart.

"The maids has arranged the schedule, Consort Kou."

Hearing Korin's innocent reply, Shuurei almost dropped the tea cup. Schedule? What schedule!?

Shuurei focused all her attention on her face, trying to maintain her expressions to prevent cramps, managed to squeeze out a smile.

"......This, Korin, I appreciate your help, This, This thing needs the natural flow, and cannot be rushed, so thanks for your care."

Korin showed a expression of disappointment, but immediately show an adorable smile. Such a charming smile makes even Shuurei to want to move forward to hug her.

(......Hai, Hai, if only I was as cute as her......)

After comparing, her mood fell, as such she can't even compete with the beautiful Shusei.

"--Then please rest well, Consort Kou."

Korin retreat humbly, --Next moment, she rushed back. Seeing Korin rush in, Shuurei and Shusei got shocked at the same time. Rarely sees a strictly trained maid rushing.

"Oh no!"

Korin expressed agitated:

"His Majesty is here--!"

"......It's so late already, is there a matter?"

Ryuuki did not reply Shuurei's first question immediately.

Undid her hair, long flowing hair made Shuurei look more appealing, Ryuuki observed from head to bottom then whispered:

"Ern..... I am here to bridge our gap."

"Ah? Gap?"

This man has always do random things, this action is even more confusing. Shuurei stunned, but found Ryuuki holding a stalk of rose in her right hand.

"......Ah, is this for me?"

Ryuuki nod like a kid.

"Really, what gap, if you want to gift flowers can just say it directly.... ah, you won't pick up the flower with your bare hand!? See! Full of injuries on your palm!"

Shuurei stared at Ryuuki's hand holding the rose, cannot help but raise her eyebrows.

"And why are you wearing so thin! Look at you shivering in the cold, nights in summer are still cold, why are you outside without wearing a coat!"

Shuurei dragged Ryuuki in without a word.

Seeing Shuurei's reaction same as Seiran's, Ryuuki smiled. .......Wearing thin is indeed the right choice.

First time entering Shuurei's chamber, Ryuuki looked around curiously. His view stopped at a flower in the vase. Place in the big vase is a......?

".......Pink rose......"

Ryuuki pluck a whitish yellow rose, hearing his soft voice, Shuurei answered:

"Ah, that is delivered by Seiran in the day, he said the rose bloomed."

Ryuuki frowned. ......indeed, Seiran is really a perfect man, always winning in every aspects.

But Shuurei misunderstood the sad expression of Ryuuki.

"Ah, I have not thank you yet. So sorry, I really like these flowers, Thank You."

Shuurei's smile made Ryuuki relieve.

Shuurei placed the rose in the vase in a neat action, and let Ryuuki sit on the corner of the bed.

"Come, show me your right hand!"

Ryuuki obediently open his palm, full of blood and thorns, Shuurei frowned:

"Really, why pluck the flower with bare hand? Don't you feel pain?"

It is painful, Ryuuki thinks. He didn't think so much then.

'Wait!"

Shuurei took her medical box, took out the pliers.

"I help u remove the thorns one by one, will take some time."

Holding Ryuuki's hand, Shuurei's eyes become wide open.

"......I say you......"

"En?"

"......Are you training sword?"

Rough palm, with a lot of hard callus. --Similar to Seiran's.

Ryuuki changed his expression slightly, showing a little hesitation.

"......This is the basic homework for royalty."

"Oh?"

Not knowing anything martial arts, Shuurei immediately accept this answer.

Ryuuki is relieved, and immediately remember his inital objective. --Right, I am here to bridge the gap!

"......Shuurei."

"En?"

"Lets call each other by our name."

"Name?"

"My name."

"Oh."

Focusing precise work, Shuurei answer vaguely, once she understand the meaning of the words she stop her action.

"......What?"

"I say, you can call me directly by name."

"......Why, why so sudden?"

"You don't call me by name seems unfair."

"This and fair or unfair......"

Totally not related! Shuurei thinks, but Ryuuki continues to stare.

"If my name is always not used, won't it be too pitiful."

This speech is not related to the previous lines, but they make sense too.

"So it is decided, will call me by name from now on."

"......Call you...... Ryuuki?"

Shuurei can't help muttering, Ryuuki blink, jumping for joy, such a happy smile made Shuurei surprised.

Ryuuki's expression of happiness beats Shuurei.

"......Alright, but only limited to privately."

His Majesty--Ryuuki nod furiously, feeling happy from achieving her initial objectives, then finally feeling the pain from the palm, the sharp pain is really not comfortable.

"Why does rose has thorns?"

Ryuuki angrily complain, Shuurei pluck the thorn while answering:

"Because the princess of rose fell in love with a man."

Ryuuki blinked.

".......What you mean?"

Seeing his reaction, Shuurei got a shocked instead, she raise her head and stare at Ryuuki seriously.

"......You don't know this story?"

Seeing Ryuuki's blur expression, Shuurei's face turn dull. Everyone knows this story, this is a childhood story everyone heard in their childhood, but there is no one around him to tell him story.

Shuurei feel sympathetic, telling the story while plucking the thorns:

"......Very long ago, there is a very beautiful princess, name Rose Princess, she possess a magical power that can heal all illness and injuries, so there is plenty of suitors......"

Shuurei's voice sounds like a lullaby.

And after successfully bridging the gap, the burden in his heart lighten a lot.

And with the nightmare earlier-- although there is Seiran accompanying him making it better-- causing him to be tired, starts to snore off. This time he can finally......have a good sleep.

After Shuurei finished the story, she has finished the treatment too.

"Ok, job well done."

Shuurei raise her head, saw Ryuuki sleeping like a log, can't help sighing.

"Can't do anything about you."

She moved Ryuuki's big body to the bed, and cover him with the blanket, then Shuurei has a headache. ......Where should I sleep now?

The bed can fit 3 adults, the space is more than sufficient. Seeing him sleep so heavily, impossible to just wake up, and he likes guys, will not cause any problems, so Shuurei came to a decision soon. She just has to wake up before the maids tomorrow.

Just in case, Shuurei also put a pillow in between them as a boundary.

With a pillow in between, with the Emperor and Consort lying at the sides sleeping.

Late at night --- while reading a book in the archives, Shouka raised an eyebrow slightly when he realize he had a visitor.

"--Kouyuu-dono?"

"......I'm sorry to disturb you so late. Would it be all right for me to sleep in the archives tonight?" Seeing the heavy fatigue in his face, Shouka quickly realized the problem. However, the courteous Shouka didn't say anything like 'You got lost again, didn't you'.

"Of course, make yourself comfortable. Although it is small."

"As always, thank you very much."

Despite being silent a long time, Kouyuu was very depressed and rather upset that he'd ended up getting lost in the department of civil affairs where he worked. He didn't think that the cause was because he didn't simply follow along with someone else as he usually did. Perhaps it was possible that a certain ogre of a superior spread some medicine to throw off one's sense of direction. He felt like someone had moved the landmarks as well. Or maybe perhaps......

"......Kouyuu-dono"

At the sound of Shouka's voice, Kouyuu was brought out of his whirling imaginations of victimization.

"Ah, y-yes!?"

"I heard you were summoned by the Senior Secretary of the Department of Civil Affairs but, did something happen?"

Unsure if Shouka noticed his momentary tension, Kouyuu quickly smiled slightly.

"--Yes, about work, a little. ......Ah that's right, there's something I wanted to ask you."

"What is it?"

"It's been about a month since I've been assigned as the Emperor's tutor. During that time, I've wondered about a number of things."

Shouka's expression changed slightly. Kouyuu continued, looking very serious.

"---I'll ask this bluntly. Could it be that the Emperor---"

The next morning, Shuurei woke very slowly.

......For some reason, it's unusually warm. That and something rather heavy is on top of me. It was a strangely comforting weight.

"Unnn......"

While still half in the world of dreams, the sound of the door opening could be heard.

"Kou-kihi-sama, it's morn......"

'It's not Shusui's voice......' as she idly thought that, with the words having been cut off suddenly, for some reason, the sounds of someone rushing out and closing the door could be heard.

"......?"

Shuurei tried to shift her body. But her body didn't budge.

What had been on top of her...... or rather, what had been hanging on to her, wouldn't let her get up. Still half in her dreams, Shuurei forced her eyes open. Looking up slightly, a face was right there. The lowered lashes were very long and together they rankled on Shuurei's nerves.

(......Aaahh-, come to think of it, only his looks are pretty good aren't they--......)

It's completely unlike the strangely childish impression one gets from his manner of speech but....... .......

Shuurei snapped awake at that moment.

(W-w-w-w-w-wait a minute----!!)

Shuurei had been sleeping with Ryuuki holding her. She tried to jump up but his arm was firmly wrapped around her and didn't budge a bit. Given the circumstance, Shuurei's face turned bright red.

"H...hey! Your Majesty! Wake up. Let go of me already. Emperor!!"

"Unnnn......"

Ryuuki sleepily opened his eyes. Finding Shuurei in his arms, he lovingly caressed her cheek with the back of his hand, smiling happily. Then with increasing strength, held her close.

"You said you'd call me by name......"

And he went back to sleep.

Shuurei shrieked.

"Don't sleep! Get up! Wake up. Wake up already----"

The servant who had come to wake Shuurei up today hadn't been Shusui and was the end of her luck.

The rumours had spread in the short time it took for them to eat breakfast.

"The Emperor's has shared his bed with a woman!" that sort of mistaken rumour, however, Shuurei couldn't deny it since she supposedly was his wife.

While she didn't say anything when the servants mentioned it, she complained clearly with her "isn't that nice!". Korin was teary eyed, finished preparing things for the morning meal three times faster than usual, and fled the room as though it would be wrong for her to be there and to leave them to themselves. There wasn't even a servant to wait on them. Shusui alone looked apologetic and stayed in a corner of the room.

Shuurei held her head. She looked at Ryuuki who was calmly eating breakfast resentfully. However, for some reason he was in an extremely good mood.

"......Ahhh sheesh. Why did you go past the pillow-......"

"Your face is red."

"---"

Shuurei threw her tea cup at him. However, Ryuuki caught it without problem. He was used to it now.

"That's dangerous isn't it."

"Unlike you, I'm not immune to that sort of thing! You idiot, you're the worst!!"

Shuurei slumped on the table.

"Ahhh---- Father and Seiran, what're they going to think when they hear this stupid rumour... what'll I do if they believe it-"

Ryuuki frowned annoyed. Shouka aside, "Why do you mention Seiran."

"But, but, but......!! It's the young girl's heart. You won't understand." Shuurei said as though not answering. But somehow, it also seemed to make sense. "............Hey."

"What?"

............Nothing really ended up happening, right?" In truth, Shuurei only had a vague understanding of such things, and therefore couldn't determine on her own if something had or had not in fact happened. Actually, since the Emperor was attracted to men, such things shouldn't happen in the first place but, just in case. Just in case.

However, Ryuuki just looked away. Shuurei paled.

==Chapter 2: The events in a country==

In the midst of pitch darkness, cherry blossom petals continued to fall without end.

A figure approached. When he realized I was there, he smiled.

Like a small ripple, a warm feeling spread through my heart. So happy…

When I tried to approach, that person went back the way they came.

---……brother…?

Chasing after the figure that distances itself. But regardless of how much I run, the gap continues to widen.

The hand that reaches out so desperately is so small, like a maple leaf.

--Why……

I felt like crying. That was the only person there for me.

Don’t go. Don’t go.

Don’t leave me alone.

The cherry blossoms blew away. They became wisterias, they became sweet osmanthus…… they became snowflakes.

The figure blended in with the snow, and vanished.

I kept waiting. Through spring, through summer, through autumn, through winter. Always.

--Don’t go.

I don’t even dare to say those words.

--Don’t go.

Just as I felt I was about to fall to my knees in despair, someone grabbed my hand firmly from behind.

Surprised. ……I turned around slowly.

--Waking with a start, the familiar face of a guard was right beside him.

“……Sei-ran……?”

“Forgive me for presuming to enter without our permission. You were crying out in your sleep……”

The emperor slowly sat up on his bed. After taking the evening meal together with Shuurei and returning to his chambers, he’d apparently fell asleep.

He was covered in cold sweat. When he thought to wipe the sweat from his bow, the emperor finally realized that he was holding Seiran’s hand.

Raising his arm while still holding that hand, Seiran hurriedly explained, "Ahhh...... umm, you reached out your hand and I unthinkingly...... I beg your pardon.

The Emperor still holding onto that hand, shook it up and down a couple of times.

"......Y-your majesty?"

Stopping his hands, the Emperor smiled.

"How about sleeping with me tonight, Seiran."

Seiran froze instantly. With an expression of having drunk pure vinegar on his face, it was obvious that he was trying, with all his might, to find some way out of his difficult situation. The Emperor cocked his head slightly.

"You don't want to."

"No...... Um, everyone has their own preferences. That is...

"I'm kidding," the Emperor said simply to a flustered Seiran, and smiled. "I just decided. I won't sleep with you."

"Whew......"

"It'd be too much of a waste."

"............"

Seiran wisely stayed silent.

The Emperor stared intently at Seiran.

"......as I thought. Seiran, aren't you a bit too masculine? Even though we're of a fairly similar age."

Having such a thing said so solemnly, Seiran was once again at a loss as to how to reply.

"I've been thinking recently, that it seems that Shuurei relies on you more than on me."

"............"

"You're a good man, so I can understand that. Also, you've been living together a long time. But, as Shuurei's husband, there are times when it annoys me."

"............"

"So, I think I'll go and bridge the gap with my wife."

The Emperor was very serious. Seiran trying to discern his intentions hesitantly asked, "And, i-in what way......?"

The Emperor tilted his head and thought silently for a moment when he suddenly came up with a plan, "I know, I'll have her call me by name as well."

And reluctantly letting go of Seiran's hand, he quickly jumped out of bed.

"There's no need to guard my chambers tonight."

The Emperor started walking away wearing only his nightwear, astonishing Seiran.

"W-wait a moment!"

"Hm?"

"You'll catch a cold! For all that it's spring, it still gets cold at night, so you should wear something on top."

The Emperor laughed, "While I like Shuurei, I also like you, Seiran."

Leaving a beautifully shocked frozen Seiran behind, the Emperor ended up leaving his chambers wearing only his nightwear afterall.

The moon shone brightly that night.

The Emperor thought back over the past month as the cool breeze brushed his cheek.

His heart was surprisingly calm. He thought that this was what it meant to be at peace. Even when being scolded by Shuurei too for some reason would make him very happy, his face would relax resulting in Shuurei getting even angrier with him. Wanting to experience that more, he'd lied about a number of things but, he figured it was fine. --because Shuurei's face when angry was very cute.

But Kouyuu also will listen to Ryuuki's opinions. Shuei disclosed that Kouyuu willing to listen to Ryuuki's opinions is already rare. If it is some insignificant things, he will settled it before rebutting.

"However, His majesty is still summoning

“不过，陛下仍然是每晚召来侍官侍寝……”
只有这点一直无法矫正。话说回来，要是刘辉因此回过头来找秀丽也不妥。
此时传来哒哒的的脚步声，秀丽随即迅速调整坐姿。来人正是香铃，手上端着一杯香气浓郁的睡前茶。
“说的也是，我们都觉得很纳闷。”
珠翠边望着香铃走进门来，边打趣地笑道：
“您与陛下每天一同用膳，相处的时间那么长，感情又那么和睦，为什么一入夜就分房就寝呢？不过大家都认为这样应该是迟早的问题，对吧，香铃。”
香铃闻言便精神奕奕答了声“是！”，粉颊酡红。
“大家都说是陛下很珍惜红贵妃，两人都还年轻，可以慢慢培养感情，不过年岁较长的女官姊姊们都着急想早日见到小太子小公主的诞生。”
（小姐！）秀丽只能在内心呐喊。
“奴婢们也已经安排好计画表了，红贵妃娘娘。”
听到香铃天真无邪的一番话，秀丽差点没接好茶杯。计画表？什么计画表！？
秀丽将全副心神集中在脸部，努力维持表情不至于抽搐，勉强挤出笑容。
“……这、香铃，你的好意我心领了，这、这种事情需要顺其自然，不能操之过急，所以谢谢你的关心。”
香铃露出略显遗憾的表情，但随即又漾出惹人怜爱的娇笑。如此迷人的笑颜连秀丽都忍不住想趋前将她抱个满怀。
（……唉—唉、要是我也生得如她那般可爱就好了……）
一对照之下心情不禁跌入谷底，如此一来当然更是无法与美艳动人的珠翠较量。
“——那么请您好好安歇吧，红贵妃娘娘。”
香铃毕恭毕敬行礼告退。——下一刻，却又急急忙忙跑回来。见香铃涨红着小脸飞奔进来，秀丽与珠翠同时吓了一跳。几乎很少见到受过严格训练的后宫女官急忙奔跑的场面。

“不得了了！”
香铃激动地表示：
“陛下驾到——！”

“……这么晚了，找我有事吗？”
刘辉并未即刻回答秀丽开口的第一句话。
解开发髻、长发披肩的秀丽看起来比平时更增添了几分娇媚，刘辉从上到下仔细端详片刻才低哝道：
“呃……孤是来拉近彼此的距离。”
“啊？距离？”
这个人总是不按牌理出牌，现在这个举动更是令人费解。秀丽愣怔了一下，很开便发觉刘辉右手握了一束蔷薇。
“……啊，这个是要送我的吗？”
刘辉像个小孩般颔首。
“真是、什么距离不距离的，要送花给我就直说嘛……啊，你该不会赤手去摘花吧！？你看看！手掌全是伤！”
秀丽直盯着刘辉握住蔷薇花茎的手，不禁挑眉。
“而且你怎么穿得这么单薄！瞧你冷得直打哆嗦，春天的夜晚仍然十分寒冷，怎么连件外衣也不披就四处溜达！”
秀丽二话不说就把刘辉拉进房内。

见秀丽的反应跟静兰如出一辙，刘辉笑了。……果然穿得单薄是对的。
头一次进入秀丽的闺房，刘辉好奇地四处张望。视线停留在一束已经装瓶的鲜花。摆在诺大花瓶里的是……？
“……粉红色的蔷薇……”
刘辉摘来的是接近白色的黄蔷薇，听见他的低喃，秀丽答道：
“啊，那是白天静兰送来的，他说蔷薇开了。”
刘辉不悦地蹙眉。……没错，静兰的确是个很完美的男人，似乎无论任何方面总会被他抢先一步。
不过秀丽误解了刘辉脸上突如其来的沮丧表情。
“啊，我还没向你道谢呢。真抱歉，我很喜欢这些花，谢谢你。”
秀丽的笑容令刘辉稍稍释怀。
秀丽动作俐落地把蔷薇装瓶，并让刘辉坐在床角。
“来，伸出右手让我瞧瞧！”
刘辉乖乖打开手掌，上面满是棘刺与血迹，秀丽蹙眉道：
“真是，怎么会赤着手摘花呢？你不觉得痛吗？”
是有点痛，刘辉心想。那时并没有顾虑这么多。
“等一下喔！”
秀丽取来药箱，拿出拔刺的镊子。
“我帮你把刺一根根拔掉，会花上一些时间。”
抓过刘辉的手，秀丽将眼睛睁大了些。
“……我说你……”
“嗯？”
“……你是不是在练剑？”
手掌粗厚，又有许多硬茧。——跟静兰的手很像。
刘辉微微变了表情，态度略微踌躇。
“……这是王族的基本功课。”
“哦？”
不懂武术的秀丽立刻接受这个答案。
刘辉松了一口气，随即想起最初的目的。——对了，我是来拉近距离的！
“……秀丽。”
“嗯？”
“以后就直呼名讳吧。”
“名讳？”
“孤的名讳。”
“哦。”
正专注于精密作业的秀丽含糊应答，一想清楚话中的含义蓦地停下动作。
“……什么？”
“孤说，以后你可以直呼孤的名讳。”
“……为、为什么突然这样说？”
“你不喊孤的名字感觉有点不公平。”
“这跟公不公平……”
完全没有关系吧！秀丽心想，但刘辉继续紧迫盯人。
“如果孤的名字一直处于无用武之地岂不太可怜了。”
这番话有些前言不搭后语，不过想想也有道理。
“就这么决定了，以后要直呼孤的名讳。”
“……称呼你……刘辉吗？”
秀丽不自觉嘟囔着，刘辉徐徐眨了眨眼，神色显得十分雀跃，如此开怀的笑容反而令秀丽感到讶然。
刘辉喜上眉梢的模样让秀丽甘拜下风。
“……好吧，不过只限私底下的时候哦。”
国王——刘辉猛力颔首，为了达成最初目的而感到心满意足之际，才开始察觉手心的刺痛感，一扎一扎的痛觉蛮不舒服的。
“为什么蔷薇会有刺呢？”
刘辉有点迁怒地发牢骚，秀丽边拨刺边随口答道：
“因为蔷薇公主爱上了一个男子。”
刘辉双眼眨了眨。
“……什么意思？”
见他如此反应，反而是秀丽大为吃惊，抬起头神色认真地仰视刘辉。
“……你不知道这个故事吗？”
望着刘辉茫然的表情，秀丽面色转为暗淡。大家都知道这个故事，这是每个人在小时候一定会听过的童话故事之一，可是他的身旁却从来没有人可以为他说故事。

秀丽的内心顿时泛起同情，边拔着刺边说起故事：
“……很久很久以前，有一位非常美丽的公主，名叫蔷薇公主，她拥有一种神奇的力量可以治愈所有病痛与伤势，所以不断有人登门求婚……”
秀丽的声音宛如摇篮曲一般。
与秀丽成功拉近距离以后，心头的负担减轻不少
，加上方才的恶梦——虽然今晚有静兰的陪伴让他醒后感觉比较没有那么恶劣——使得他身心俱疲，开始昏昏欲睡。这次终于可以……睡个好觉了。
当秀丽说完故事时，也刚好包扎完毕。
“好，大功告成。”
秀丽抬首，见到猛打瞌睡的刘辉不禁叹气。
“真拿你没办法。”
她扶着刘辉偌大的身躯往床铺躺下，并为他盖上棉被，接着秀丽开始伤脑筋。……那我现在要睡哪里？
床铺可以容纳三名大人躺下，空间绰绰有余。见他睡得那么熟，不可能说醒就醒，而且他又好男色，也不会发生什么问题，于是秀丽很快做出结论。明天只要趁着女官们之前起床就好了。

为了预防万一，秀丽还拿了个长枕摆在中间当作界限。

就这样隔着长枕，分别躺在床铺两边的国王与贵妃安然入睡。

Hi everyone! I am new to this. I am a Singaporean and hence bilingual; my first language is Chinese (simplified and traditional), then English,
I am really very new to this but I wish to learn more and improve.
I want to translate and edit but I may make a lot of error so I beg for pardon beforehand.
Anyway, I wish to join the translators and translate Chinese works to English,
so if anyone will like to take me in and teach or work with me, I would be glad, 感激不尽...
Thank you. Kanziel~

==Hidan no Aria==

===English===
Are you going to continue translating Volume 2 in the near future? Otherwise, I want to finish up v2c2 : ) [[User:YoakeNoHikari|YoakeNoHikari]] 13:53, 26 March 2011 (EDT)

I have put HnA on hold. But since your speed is amazing, I think that it's better if you continue. Also, with all the work I have...

Well, go on! After all, there's still a lot of volumes left. If you take V2ch2, then I'll maybe take HnA V5.

[[User:Onizuka-gto|Onizuka-GTO]] 16:23, 6 May 2011 (UCT)

Are you translating HnA in the passe composse or the imparfait, so i know what to check for while editing?

Most of the time, I use the 'passé simple' to describe, as well as present. When Kinji is speaking to himself or to someone else, I use the 'passé composé' and when it is to mark a simultaneous action to a past tense word, united by a subordination conjunction, I use the 'imparfait', as well as in descriptive lines. [[User:Kira0802|Kira0802]] 01:02, 10 May 2011 (UCT)

Je me demandais aussi si par hasard tu avais un peu commencé la traduction des chapitres suivants (en français) ?

First one is "Subishi(this is SFX, change accordingly)!, Houki, who hold out the object (in question), answered.". The part in parentheses is optional, as in my interpretation of the situation.

Second one is actually one big sentence with the previous line. I'll translate it as a whole. "Houki hung her head, but everyone, including Ichika, is making an expression that thinks [why an oil field?] at Houki's incomprehensible answer." --[[User:Kuroi shinigami|Kuroi shinigami]] 14:31, 25 July 2011 (UCT)

== Blanking pages? ==

Hey Kira--

I just looked at all the pages that I've been to recently, and I'm not seeing any blank ones, and looking at the recent changes page the changes I've made were only +/- a couple hundred...If I did delete any pages that certainly wasn't the intent. Can you point me to any blank pages you found? I'd be glad to fix the problem. Thanks! [[User:Starkiller4299|Starkiller4299]] 20:13, 16 April 2012 (CDT)

EDIT: Ok, so I went back to extended recent changes...I see now what you're talking about. >.< I think I know what the problem was...I do a lot of my reading (and therefore grammar nazi editing) on break at work. This means 5 minute here, 10 minutes there, sometimes with an hour or three in between. And sometimes the page times out in that interval, which of course you don't know about until you hit 'submit'. My guess is that the page, for whatever reason, got deleted during one of those time outs. I've never seen blanked pages before though--and it's really annoying, because I've learned to semi expect it and do a copy/paste dump into a txt file before hitting submit so I don't lose my changes. And I usually double check the page (gotta scroll to the bottom to go to the next page, right?). Thanks for letting me know about the issue; I'll definitely keep an eye out for it in the future!

Not sure if this is how you do this but here goes. I just wanna ask where would I be able to obtain the chinese light novel in NA? I have googled many sources and their shipping service does not include NA. Thanks in advance and I really appreciate you translating this. =] Yoh-kun.

I just want to let you know, Dreyakis, I highly enjoy your translation. I've spent quite a bit of time as an editor for various fan translation groups (never for light novels though) and even those projects could cause a man's brain to explode. Translation is hard work and you are doing the best job I have seen on Baka-Tsuki. It is a pleasure to read your translated text, doubly so because the novels themselves are excellent. The novels have an addictive neutrality to them, and I am very happy that you are translating them for an entirely new section of the world to enjoy. ~BakaGrappler

I mean, if the volumes listed on the main page have been published or at least are available on the web, can't they be translated and posted?

==Hidan no Aria==

===English===
Are you going to continue translating Volume 2 in the near future? Otherwise, I want to finish up v2c2 : ) [[User:YoakeNoHikari|YoakeNoHikari]] 13:53, 26 March 2011 (EDT)

I have put HnA on hold. But since your speed is amazing, I think that it's better if you continue. Also, with all the work I have...

Well, go on! After all, there's still a lot of volumes left. If you take V2ch2, then I'll maybe take HnA V5.
[[User:Kira0802|Kira0802]] 10:45, 26 March 2011 (EDT)

Can you go back translating volume 8 of Hidan no Aria [ENG] which hikari left??.. [[User:Just4fun|Just4fun]] 21 May 2012

Ohh ok its alright... oh by the way.. can you translate it after the exam period?? [[User:Just4fun|Just4fun]] 21 May 2012

----------------
So which one are we using? GIV or G IV, GIII or G III? It's not on the terminology page yet, I actually prefer using GIII and GIV. --[[User:Hiro Hayase|Hiro Hayase]] 15:24, 3 June 2012 (CDT)

[[User:Onizuka-gto|Onizuka-GTO]] 16:23, 6 May 2011 (UCT)

Are you translating HnA in the passe composse or the imparfait, so i know what to check for while editing?

Most of the time, I use the 'passé simple' to describe, as well as present. When Kinji is speaking to himself or to someone else, I use the 'passé composé' and when it is to mark a simultaneous action to a past tense word, united by a subordination conjunction, I use the 'imparfait', as well as in descriptive lines. [[User:Kira0802|Kira0802]] 01:02, 10 May 2011 (UCT)

ok. I'm still learning francais, so some accent marks might be wrong, but i should be able to help out in some cases. - Bzk

Oh, no problems, me too. [[User:Kira0802|Kira0802]] 01:07, 10 May 2011 (UCT)

* Ça te dérange si je continue la traduction française de HnA ? Il n'y a pas l'air d'avoir des traducteurs actifs pour le moment... Je me demandais aussi si par hasard tu avais un peu commencé la traduction des chapitres suivants (en français) ? Ah oui, j'ai modifié la présentation sur le chapitre 1 (j'ai rajouté les 1., 2., etc pour faciliter la lecture). Je peux les enlever si ça te plait pas :) [[User:Monoratique|Monoratique]]
* Ok ok ! Je ferais de mon mieux :) Merci ! N'hésite pas à changer si tu vois des problèmes ! [[User:Monoratique|Monoratique]]

Hmmm, since she's Chinese, I like Huang Ling Yin too. Lingyin is okay too, but since the others often call her with just Ling or Ling-san, I prefer the separated version of Ling Yin.--[[User:Kuroi shinigami|Kuroi shinigami]] 23:09, 30 March 2011 (EDT)

Yea, I'm going to do the whole vol 6. Should be done in around 1 more month I think. About vol 7, this is still not official, but ___________ from AS forum PMed me saying he will try translating vol 7. Not sure if he's already done some of it yet or not.

"The thing that Ichika brought out after saying that is a game named Barbarossa." No idea what kind of board game that is though lol --[[User:Kuroi shinigami|Kuroi shinigami]] 13:55, 22 July 2011 (UCT)

First one is "Subishi(this is SFX, change accordingly)!, Houki, who hold out the object (in question), answered.". The part in parentheses is optional, as in my interpretation of the situation.

Second one is actually one big sentence with the previous line. I'll translate it as a whole. "Houki hung her head, but everyone, including Ichika, is making an expression that thinks [why an oil field?] at Houki's incomprehensible answer." --[[User:Kuroi shinigami|Kuroi shinigami]] 14:31, 25 July 2011 (UCT)

I don't mind. The link is to make reading easier after all, so change the format as you like to make it more easy to read. --[[User:Kuroi shinigami|Kuroi shinigami]] 14:34, 25 July 2011 (UCT)

As long as the reader benefits, I don't mind the changes, but I would prefer to be kept in the loop regarding stuff like format changes. It has been good work for now though.--[[User:Teh Ping|Teh Ping]] 15:06, 25 July 2011 (UCT)

------------------------------

Yeah, sorry about that. It's just that I usually correct everything to the style of Webster's dictionary since it's the end-all be-all of English, and words like rumour never have the -u. If you don't want me to do that in the future, let me know and I won't :). --[[User:yFSC|yFSC]] 04:45, 6 April 2011 (EDT)

Hm... I know Wikipedia calls her Adelicia and that's why I went with it at first, but in the very beginning of volume 2, there is a letter signed in English by Adilisia and her name is spelled "Adilisia Lenn Mathers." In the end I decided to just go with what Sanda-sensei wrote, since he is kind of the author.--[[User:Amazing Buffalo|Amazing Buffalo]] 19:50, 15 May 2011 (UCT)

Sorry that I have been inactive these past 1-2 months. This summer has turned out to be much more busy for me than I had initially expected. Hopefully, I'll be able to put some time to go over this during the last month of my summer break.

Also, I'm curious: Why did you skip to translating Chapter 4 of Volume 4? Was Chapter 2 of it not translated into Chinese or something?

(Regarding previous incident that I did to Vaelis' talk page) Sorry. That's the worst mistake I had done on this site (and ranked top 10) I did during this ten ye-...this year. T_T-/-[[User:User753|User753]]-[[User talk:User753|Talk]]- 19:24, 2 August 2012 (CDT)

Sorry, but I don't know Japanese. Even English is my second language. For edits I used google translator along with denshi jisho online kanji dictionary and the text version of Campione raws.

I was just wondering if the prologue was completed or not, since it says it is on the Registration page but on the prologue page it says it isn't. :) [[User:Stellarroze|Stellarroze]] 08:35, 7 April 2012 (CDT)

Okay. :) There's another potential translator then, that's great. Do you know when he/she will start? [[User:Stellarroze|Stellarroze]] 09:49, 7 April 2012 (CDT)

== Blanking pages? ==

Hey Kira--

I just looked at all the pages that I've been to recently, and I'm not seeing any blank ones, and looking at the recent changes page the changes I've made were only +/- a couple hundred...If I did delete any pages that certainly wasn't the intent. Can you point me to any blank pages you found? I'd be glad to fix the problem. Thanks! [[User:Starkiller4299|Starkiller4299]] 20:13, 16 April 2012 (CDT)

EDIT: Ok, so I went back to extended recent changes...I see now what you're talking about. >.< I think I know what the problem was...I do a lot of my reading (and therefore grammar nazi editing) on break at work. This means 5 minute here, 10 minutes there, sometimes with an hour or three in between. And sometimes the page times out in that interval, which of course you don't know about until you hit 'submit'. My guess is that the page, for whatever reason, got deleted during one of those time outs. I've never seen blanked pages before though--and it's really annoying, because I've learned to semi expect it and do a copy/paste dump into a txt file before hitting submit so I don't lose my changes. And I usually double check the page (gotta scroll to the bottom to go to the next page, right?). Thanks for letting me know about the issue; I'll definitely keep an eye out for it in the future!

Hi zzhk! Thank you for your Campione translations. Thanks for your hard work! I made an account just to say, thanks. Also, Great job on v7 ch 5 part 4. Your translations make my days. Thanks always for quick and great translations. Mokata

Zzhk! Amazing job! Question/comment - In V7C6 Part 3, there's two things that are confusing: 1) "Then Godou proceeded to compose spell words caused strong wind to blow. The destructive gales pinned down the giant monkeys, immobilizing them." -> Is it Godou or is it Ena that is doing that? Godou at this point already appears to be using 2 incarnations and is also using some wind spell? and 2) This and the very next section also mentions 6 giant monkeys they are also fighting.. but there has been no mention of Sun Wukong summoning any monkeys at all at this point [[User:Wilhelmson|Wilhelmson]] ([[User talk:Wilhelmson|talk]]) 16:17, 10 September 2012 (CDT)

Hi, sorry about the edit for "just deserts" :p, I would like to express my thanks for your efforts to translate Campione. I wish you all the best in your future efforts at translating and of course, other stuff XD.

Don't worry about it, it's just that if more than one person was confused enough to edit it, there must have been many more who just didn't act on it. --[[User:Zzhk|Zzhk]] 17:33, 10 May 2012 (CDT)

I changed the 'impotence' in 'Anger at the circumstances taking her away from him, and anger at his own impotence.' from volume 5, chapter 6 to 'incompetence', just an fyi in case it was a TL error. --[[User:Florza|Florza]]

It's fine, I saw it already, no objections. Impotence, incompetence, inability to do anything, powerlessness, it's all the same to me. --[[User:Zzhk|Zzhk]] 01:50, 4 August 2012 (CDT)

To most people it has a very different meaning though :P Also, '"Don't be bound by hierarchy, and devote myself to onii-sama... Yes, that's idea."' from Volume 6 Chapter 4, is it meant to be 'idea'? -- [[User:Florza|Florza]]

haha, you mean the sexual connotation? Anyway, would you prefer concept or principle instead of idea? --[[User:Zzhk|Zzhk]] 22:24, 4 August 2012 (CDT)

Yeah. I reread it once or twice thinking, 'wtf? why is Godou worried about his ED at this time? does he have ED?'. But about the 'idea' thing, I think it's a grammar thing. 'that's' doesn't go with 'idea' at least for normal speech. not sure about the original meaning though. -- [[User:Florza|Florza]]

Actually, looking more closely, I see what's missing, it's just a typo. It should be "that's ''the'' idea." --[[User:Zzhk|Zzhk]] 00:17, 5 August 2012 (CDT)

Hi there. While editing I am having some confusion regarding what to keep in caps and all. For example: "king", "lord", "god", "cult lord" and such. I believe that since all of them represents some position in this world's society they should be in caps. Just as same to ours "President/Prime Minister/Minister" and such. Please suggest further on this matter. --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] ([[User talk:Chancs|talk]]) 16:52, 11 August 2012 (CDT)

They should be in lower case when used as a noun, capitalized when used as a term of address. Lord and God are only capitalized for God from the Bible, so there is no need to capitalize phrases like "my lord" or "abc is a god" though "Lord XYZ" would need to be capitalized since it's a term of address. Similarly, king should only be capitalized when it is a specific title, such as "King Kusanagi." Stuff like "as a king you should blah blah blah..." or "the king jumped up and down" should not be capitalized. It does get a bit subtle with statements like "George V is one of the kings of Britain" where "kings" is being used as a general noun, versus "George V is King of Britain" where "King of Britain" is a specific title. As for "cult leader," it would follow the same pattern as for "king" though I wouldn't be opposed to capitalizing all intances of it since it's not that usual a term. --[[User:Zzhk|Zzhk]] ([[User talk:Zzhk#top|talk]]) 19:28, 11 August 2012 (CDT)

Actually that was me who edited the terminology page. The furigana is indeed Ocelot for 'Jaguar'. - [[User:Florza|Florza]]

Which volume did you see it? Volume 6 Page 42 is unambiguously ジャガー -[[User:Zzhk|Zzhk]] ([[User talk:Zzhk#top|talk]]) 06:10, 1 September 2012 (CDT)

V7 Page 163. - [[User:Florza|Florza]]

Ah, so it's the author who changed his mind. Anyway, I'll bring it up in the Terminology thread. --[[User:Zzhk|Zzhk]] ([[User talk:Zzhk#top|talk]]) 06:32, 1 September 2012 (CDT)

Sorry. Was not knowing about the original texts. But how to know that those were the original thoughts? I simply took those as a remark on Erica's strength. --[[User:Chancs|Chancs]] ([[User talk:Chancs|talk]]) 02:43, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

Florza uses italics, but I find it unnecessary... After all, there is no such formatting in the original text, and certain lines can be interpreted as either thoughts or third person narration because there is no explicit subject. Unless you have doubts about a translator's ability to use English pronouns properly, I'd suggest refraining from making these sorts of changes directly, and raise the issue on Talk pages instead. --[[User:Zzhk|Zzhk]] ([[User talk:Zzhk#top|talk]]) 02:54, 4 September 2012 (CDT)

Spirit body is correct for that kanji. However, naming issues arise when connected with other kanji. - [[User:Florza|Florza]]

Well, it's not like the combination arose by coincidence. It's highly unsatisfactory for the translation to change completely when the subject is still the same thing. Could you elaborate on what you consider to be naming issues? --[[User:Zzhk|Zzhk]] ([[User talk:Zzhk#top|talk]]) 23:35, 6 September 2012 (CDT)

I'm sure that if you found 'God and Godslayer' to be awkward, 'spirit power of spirit body separation' would seem pretty awkward as well, right? Wait, has the term been translated in previous volumes yet? - [[User:Florza|Florza]]

Where does that phrase occur? In that particular case, it could be simplified to "power of spirit body separation" without much loss in meaning. "Spirit body" and its separation and detachment already appeared in Volume 6 with Princess Alice's introduction. Personally, I don't think they're actual terms per se since detachment and separation seem to be used as synonyms for the same phenomenon. --[[User:Zzhk|Zzhk]] ([[User talk:Zzhk#top|talk]]) 00:18, 7 September 2012 (CDT)

Think I'll go with the horizontal stare decisis here for now. Although, as 幽体分離 and other 4 character kanjis are usually move names (Even without brackets), I feel that 'spirit body separation' is somewhat lacking. - [[User:Florza|Florza]]

Sorry, didn't know if those tense change would significantly alter the meaning. Since everything was in past tense, I couldn't tell from just reading the order of occurrence for some of the events.--[[User:Mane|Mane]] ([[User talk:Mane|talk]]) 10:41, 8 September 2012 (CDT)

I got permission to change the text aside from the tenses. Can I reverse your undo so I can change the tense back to past tense? I don't have a copy of my past changes to work with.--[[User:Mane|Mane]] ([[User talk:Mane|talk]]) 11:27, 8 September 2012 (CDT)

[http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Campione!%3AVolume_5_Prologue&diff=186740&oldid=174273 Here] are all your changes, highlighted. --[[User:Zzhk|Zzhk]] ([[User talk:Zzhk#top|talk]]) 12:02, 8 September 2012 (CDT)

I make my ePUBs manually; the use of <nowiki></nowiki> rather than triple apostrophes makes it easier (for me, and maybe others) to convert the text into html/xhtml. The same would be true of double apostrophes and the <nowiki></nowiki> tag. I've made the mistake of equating double apostrophes with quotation marks (and then replacing all of them). I have a question about line 65 in volume 5 chapter 2. There is a line break between two sentences that appears to be spoken by the same character, and there is no quotation marks around the second "part." Could you check if there is a typo in that line?--[[User:Mane|Mane]] ([[User talk:Mane|talk]]) 07:07, 10 September 2012 (CDT)

I allowed myself to fix it. LNs sometimes have that weird way to throw thoughts into the middle of the narrative.--[[User:Kadi|Kadi]] ([[User talk:Kadi|talk]]) 07:27, 10 September 2012 (CDT)

I've posted a suggestion, not sure if you've seen it. [[Talk:High School DxD:Volume 9 Life 4|Talk Page]] --[[User:KuroiHikari|KuroiHikari]] ([[User_talk:KuroiHikari|Talk]] | ) 21:23, 22 August 2012 (CDT)

Thanks for the input. Yeah, I've read it but I think the entire paragraph needs to be restructured to make the meaning clearer. I'll think about it later. Of course, anyone is free to provide suggestions in the mean time. --[[User:Zzhk|Zzhk]] ([[User talk:Zzhk#top|talk]]) 05:14, 23 August 2012 (CDT)
