Seki: /* Stepping out */ new section

== Other Marimite Translations ==

Is there any interest on Seki's part to merge or link other translations done by say Okazu into the Bakatsuki project? I'm not sure if you're insistent upon your own translations or not, so it's just me bouncing around a question.

-Sukoshi

Right now I'm leaning towards insisting on my own translations.

-[[User:Seki|Seki]]

I think you're alienating the dozens of translators eager to work on this project by saying you can power through 10 years and 8 months of konno oyuki's work. as a translator myself I know it can take forever working on a single line to make it fit in the scope of the english language. bakatsuki should be the central hub for all the translations being done so far. it should be the collaborative efforts of all the translators and editors into forming a cohesive readable experience for all marimite fans. we can achieve that by observing haruhi's staff page. we need a supervisor who can keep up with Tlers and editors. we can establish more thorough translation and editing guidelines. we need someone to properly ask okazu for use and revising of her works, since she literally did 6 volumes already. I'm not saying it should be me; I want to translate too, but we have to face the scope of this series, which is four times larger than haruhi, not counting the stories not in novels, yet in the four years since the anime started, which i assume was when popularity increased, there is no cohesive translation staff. I just want to make sure there is one place for fans to find/read/enjoy the original version of marimite before it is licensed, which god knows what kind of guidelines they'll follow. I'm still going to translate, starting from the last chapter. Whether I bother posting it here or not is up to how well received and implemented these plans are to the marimite fans, current staff included. gokigenyou.

-AlphaUltima (recent TL work in Hidamari Sketch x365 with SpoonSubs and SZS with Plumcity/Entropy)

Honestly, if someone else wants to organize stuff they can do so, especially considering I'd underestimated how quickly my free time would dwindle as I near graduation. Because my primary motivation with the project was just to practice, that sort of administrative work is something I'd not wanted - and still really don't want - to have to deal with.

-Seki

okay, first thing is updating the list to volume 33. then i'll ask okazu for her blessing in using her scripts for this project. we'll figure it out from there.

-AU

She said yes. Here's the full email:

''Hello -You're more than welcome to use those translations. I actually have one more, as well, that hasn't yet been posted to Okazu. So, the 18th books has also been translated - this one by Rei and Sukoshi. I'll post that soon to Okazu, so you can take it from there. Cheers, Erica''

Just finished updating the novel lists. I'll start breaking the novel sections down as I already have them all in text files already.

== Vol 12 discussion ==

Wouldn't it be convenient to link to what is done from volume 12?

http://www.baka-tsuki.net/project/index.php?title=Maria_Sama_Ga_Miteru

-Proto

I can add it, but when I get to v12, I'm probably going to replace it with my own, should I add it anyways? :< Or have like a link next to v12, or something? >_>

-Seki

You could add it as a preview I guess, as the people over the Zero no Tsukaima section do. It is not a bad translation though, they are by Harukano from Otakyu, the same guy who did the Juuni Kokki translations until it got licensed.

-Proto

I added it next to v12. It's not whether it's a good or bad translation, so much as I'm just intending to power through everything nonetheless. We'll see if my stance changes later on, when the novelty idea of translating 30+ volumes wears off ;p Bunch of stylistic differences and all that I assume exist, since there were no guidelines agreed upon or anything.

-Seki

I have some scripts from other volumes, but I think getting someone to copy-paste these onto the wiki would be a PITA.

Thanks for your hard work on volume 1 and 2, really looking forward to the rest of it. Good luck "powering through" all that!

Thanks for picking up this series. After 30+ novels, it didn't seem like anybody was ever going to translate it. Good luck working on it and please don't burn yourself out! ^^;;

- neoh

Thanks for translating. The novel really touched me. I went through 4 volume in just, I dunno, 2 days or something. I even print it out. --Azzura

== <3 ==

Encouragement never hurts <3

My portfolio's due on Monday, so I should get back to translating on Tuesday~

== Sorry guys ==

Life hath turned its basilisk eyes upon me: my computer dies, then my proxy dies, and now I realize I don't have Office anymore. I'll try to rectify that by tonight -_-

=( *pat pat*

Whoops. Well, let's hope that this is just a low and things will get better from here for you :D

-Proto

Just wanted to say thank very much you for the hard work of translating these novels. And I also hope that things will get better for you =).

-Yurine

You should exercise more and have a healthy body. So that your healthy mind can translate for us!!!

== Editing help ==

Hi,
I would like to help and unite parts of Marimite into single volumes, like it was done with Marimite Volume 1. I am not sure if I can commit such - let's say - big interference without being in Baka-Tsuki's team. I bothered you on irc channel but my connection wasn't so great at the time.

Thanks for your wonderful job and possible answer.

[[User:Rinu|Rinu]] 08:27, 11 July 2008 (PDT)

Uh, I don't think anyone would mind if you did that, but I (still) haven't finished going through my friend's proof-reads of v1 and vV2, which is why I was hesitant with doing it for v1 and why I haven't really done it for v2. If you're willing to put up with the eventual nit-picky changes that I'd prolly only do on the original chapters/parts for the time being, go for it. (And I never noticed you poking me on IRC O_o;; weird.)

[[User:Seki|Seki]]

I see, great. Well, if you don't insist on daily monitoring your updates, I'd take it :). I was poking in general on the main #Baka-Tsuki channel.

[[User:Rinu|Rinu]] 13:59, 11 July 2008 (PDT)

I'm pretty laid-back about everything except actually translating, regarding this thing, so go for it :p

[[User:Seki|Seki]]

By the way, I went through my friend's proofs for v1 and v2, so those should be relatively safe.

[[User:Seki|Seki]]

Cool, I'll do it next week.

[[User:Rinu|Rinu]] 06:40, 29 July 2008 (PDT)

I don't know how (or whether to) upload single-volume versions of your translations, but I recently converted your translation of Ibara no Mori to a single volume. I did it for myself so I could read it on a Kindle, so it lacks links back to baka-tsuki. Conversion is easy, I'd be happy to do it for earlier volumes once you're done with edits. Lemme know and I can send you HTML, Kindle/Mobi-compatible .prc files, whatever.

I've hidden the single-volume Ibara no Mori on ziggr.com for a little while, in case you want it: http://ziggr.com/maria-sama/baka-tsuki/03/ I'll probably pull it down in a few weeks.

PS: I love the translations. I delight in reading them. Thank you!

[[User:ziggr|ziggr]] 22:04, 02 August 2008 (PDT)

Umm, I'm not really sure what I should say @_@ I don't mind, of course. If you want me to ask around about how to upload them, I could do that. And thanks for reading <3 (If that wasn't what you meant, uhhh, sorry, could you rephrase? XD)

[[User:Seki|Seki]]

I've done the full text version for Volume 1-2-3 by including the chapter pages -> if a chapter is edited, the full text version is automatically updated.

[[User:Vaelis|Vaelis]] 01:30, 10 August 2008 (PDT)

I'll try to keep all your formatting, didn't notice the title ones. Geh, I've been sick, going to a cardiologist on Wednesday, so kinda distracted, gonna get back to work in a bit (esp. since I'm one scene away from ending v4 -_-)

[[User:Seki|Seki]] 1:21, 11 August 2008 (GMT)

Hope you feel better soon and please try to take it easy. Wouldn't want you to be burned out. Anyway looking forwards for your translations!^^

== Dialogue ==

I was wondering if it would be possible to keep dialogue line and the explanatory author's line in the same paragraph. Because else it is a bit too confusing - someone speaks a complete thought, and then we are told who said it, but this two things seem unrelated.
If it is fine with you I would have liked to edit already translated chapters this way. Just punctuation, nothing else =)
-Iatheia

Umm, unless other people also find it confusing, I'd prefer to leave it as is, because of author's style. So if anyone else feels the same, feel free to leave a message, as like an informal poll or something. If it's a big enough problem we could open a poll in the forum instead, I guess.
-- [[User:Seki|Seki]]

It confused me a little at first, but I've since accepted that as the author's style and embrace it as such. So leave it as is! Great job, btw, I'm enjoying your translations! --Shikan

I didn't have a problem following the style and flow of dialogue lines from the get-go. I vote to leave it as is. You're doing great work and I really appreciate the time you put into this! Hope things have gotten better for you! -- HoodedZippy

== Updates pliz... ==

Why is there no updates? T_T --[[User:202.147.242.12|202.147.242.12]] 23:25, 2 November 2008 (PST)

== Volume 5 ==

Thanks for the fifth volume
We've waited for, like, eternity on this one.
Anyway, good job.

six months ain't that bad for one translator.
this isn't an anime/manga with visual context.
granted a majority of it was anime-d already,
but a lot of dialogue and descriptive narrative
is all based on the translator's interpretation of the novel.
hopefully other translators will join the cause.
-AlphaUltima

== Stepping out ==

Hate doing this, but I'm gonna give up for at least two months. I'm graduating in three months but I've got nowhere to go afterward... which is a big problem. Hopefully I'll figure out what I'm going to do this summer and beyond, but until then translating isn't even at the back of my mind. I just don't have the time nor presence of mind to do it right now... if I forced myself I wouldn't be paying the work enough respect, and I honestly would rather not have this hanging over my head. Hopefully I'll figure things out in the next few months, and if/when I do (or if I end up being a rounin) I'll poke my head back in and see if I'm still needed. Until then, gokigenyou, and thanks for putting up with all the difficulties. When I started up I honestly thought I'd be able to go a volume a month, but I sorely underestimated how busy I'd become in my last year of university.

Seki: added v5postscript

[[Image:MM_v01_cover.jpg|200px|thumb|MariMite volume 1 cover.]]

== Synopsis ==

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Catholic school for girls, and can be considered character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain. At Lillian Girls' School, there is a tradition known as the sœur system (sœur being French for "sister"), in which a second, or third-year student, the grande sœur ("big sister"), will give her rosary to a junior student, the petite sœur ("little sister"), and promise to look after them and guide them.

When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a new first-year student admitted to Lillian, is praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniform ribbon. This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch. After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayurikai — the student council of the school. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become her petite sœur.

This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayurikai where she assists them in school matters at the same level as the other two petite sœurs — Yoshino Shimazu, and Shimako Tōdō — who are the petite sœurs of Rei Hasekura, and Sei Satō respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayurikai, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable.

'''Warning:''' Suffice it to say, this series is considered yuri, having various mentions of lesbian relationships. They are not, however, particularly graphic. If you find this sort of topic offensive, look away.

Maria-sama ga Miteru:Volume5 Postscript

2009-02-23T00:51:05Z

Seki: god i'm horrible at scripts

<noinclude>==Postscript==</noinclude>

-Nothing comes to mind.

Good day, it's Konno.

In my case, I usually start out a postscript with an idea and run with it, but for some reason I'm coming up blank.

Which is troublesome. Because I have five pages this time… can I do it?

Then you should just write "things I should explain (see Maria-sama ga Miteru, Rosa Canina)," I point out to myself. But I don't know, I don't feel like it this time, so I'll pass. Explaining things in a postscript is, you know, it feels bad. Plus you keep thinking retroactively, "Ah, I shoulda written that," and such.

So, what to do.

A (Atogaki)

-Nah, I don't have enough pages for that (laugh) anyways. Also I'll probably be scolded if I keep using that trick.

Oh, I have to finish the "nakakiyo" conversation.

A good majority of the letters I received after "Rosa Canina" included an answer about "nakakiyo."

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it (laugh).

And the results, based on when I write this (it's the latter half of January. The time difference is unavoidable in published works)… of the reader reporters (?), 100% said they'd never done it. –Ahh, where ever did my ancestors pick this up?

During the Edo period, papers were peddled with a picture of the Seven Dieties of Good Luck on a treasure ship along with the circular that began "nakakiyo" (I knew about this from the start), so folding the sheet into a boat probably evolved from that. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to really look into this.

By the way.

It made me chuckle because it was written almost like a pair with the "nakakiyo" topic, but I received a lot of information about the setsubun futomaki. Actually, I received a lot more information about that. Friends sending me mail and e-mail, fellow authors answering me in their New Year's cards (!)…

… Apparently it's quite a major topic. Geographically speaking it seems like more of a western custom. After all, everyone spoke of it like "eating mochi during New Year's." Seems extremely rooted.

In summary.

You're not supposed to talk while eating futomaki, apparently. Although there are some places that don't have such a rule, apparently.

The futomaki is a symbol of the ogre's kanabou mace, apparently. (ß I see!)

And in certain places, the supermarkets and convenience stores advertise setsubun with great fervor, apparently.

-Is about it.

I'm sure if you look things up in books, you could find out its origins and changes in detail, but I'm personally more interested in the fact that it's so entrenched in culture despite the changing times, so "in my house this is what we do" is enough for me. Change is culture, after all!

Thank you for your cooperation, everyone.

Now, there was one big abnormality.

The title has "Part One" on it, and it'll be part one of two. The first two-part set in Maria-sama ga Miteru.

It's a bit of an omnibus, and I titled it "Valentine's Gift" to tie everything together. So there're no stories using that title here. And that'll probably be true in the second part.

Oh, speaking of which, in regard to lady Kanina Shizuka.

For those who thought that would be the last of her, she popped up again, didn't she. She's going to Italy, but she's remaining in Lillian until graduation. But of course. She'd been staying because of Rosa Gigantea. She probably intends to leave Japan after sending Rosa Gigantea off to university.

But as usual, she's quite audacious. She's about to become a "character too good to waste." By the way, number one on the list of "characters too good to waste" of course Rosa Gigantea.

Oh my.

I rambled and the five pages have vanished. I guess that's how things are.

The year 2000 has come and gone. … Which means the next deadline is creeping up, too. Probably.

So, the first preview in a while.

The second part of "Maria-sama ga Miteru, Valentine's Gift," of course.

I'll probably do things like what happened the day after "Surprise Chocolate," or random chatter, or things like that and stick everything into the volume. I haven't started yet, though, so take that with a grain of salt (laugh).

I hope we meet again with the leaves are fresh.

Gokigenyou.

Maria-sama ga Miteru:Volume5 Postscript

2009-02-23T00:49:50Z

Seki:

==<noinclude>Postscript</noinclude>==

-Nothing comes to mind.

Good day, it's Konno.

In my case, I usually start out a postscript with an idea and run with it, but for some reason I'm coming up blank.

Which is troublesome. Because I have five pages this time… can I do it?

Then you should just write "things I should explain (see Maria-sama ga Miteru, Rosa Canina)," I point out to myself. But I don't know, I don't feel like it this time, so I'll pass. Explaining things in a postscript is, you know, it feels bad. Plus you keep thinking retroactively, "Ah, I shoulda written that," and such.

So, what to do.

A (Atogaki)

-Nah, I don't have enough pages for that (laugh) anyways. Also I'll probably be scolded if I keep using that trick.

Oh, I have to finish the "nakakiyo" conversation.

A good majority of the letters I received after "Rosa Canina" included an answer about "nakakiyo."

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it (laugh).

And the results, based on when I write this (it's the latter half of January. The time difference is unavoidable in published works)… of the reader reporters (?), 100% said they'd never done it. –Ahh, where ever did my ancestors pick this up?

During the Edo period, papers were peddled with a picture of the Seven Dieties of Good Luck on a treasure ship along with the circular that began "nakakiyo" (I knew about this from the start), so folding the sheet into a boat probably evolved from that. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to really look into this.

By the way.

It made me chuckle because it was written almost like a pair with the "nakakiyo" topic, but I received a lot of information about the setsubun futomaki. Actually, I received a lot more information about that. Friends sending me mail and e-mail, fellow authors answering me in their New Year's cards (!)…

… Apparently it's quite a major topic. Geographically speaking it seems like more of a western custom. After all, everyone spoke of it like "eating mochi during New Year's." Seems extremely rooted.

In summary.

You're not supposed to talk while eating futomaki, apparently. Although there are some places that don't have such a rule, apparently.

The futomaki is a symbol of the ogre's kanabou mace, apparently. (ß I see!)

And in certain places, the supermarkets and convenience stores advertise setsubun with great fervor, apparently.

-Is about it.

I'm sure if you look things up in books, you could find out its origins and changes in detail, but I'm personally more interested in the fact that it's so entrenched in culture despite the changing times, so "in my house this is what we do" is enough for me. Change is culture, after all!

===23:10, Yoshino===

The sweet chocolate chip pound cake didn't have chocolate cream dumped all over it, but it was better than what you could get at one of those neighbor cake stores.

"Hmm."

Rei-chan didn't call her after all. Who cares if it was a mistake anyways? It's this late, Rosa Foetida probably would have decided to eat, too. Yoshino would have eaten earlier if she hadn't fallen asleep. Dinner, homework, bath, and then when she settled into her kotatsu, she'd fallen asleep until this late hour.

"Pretty good."

She'd just intended to have one bite, but that turned into two, three… She felt she wouldn't be able to stop herself if she went any further, so she tore off a fourth bite and shut the box.

"It being so good makes everything even more vexing."

Yoshino muttered, as she flicked the box.

The eldest and youngest of three sisters have a rather complex relationship as they settle on different sides of the middle.

Seki:

===23:10, Eriko===

Shoot, I dozed off. Eriko looked up from the desk she'd been resting her head upon.

It was already past eleven at night.

There was no way Rei would call her at this hour. So that would mean the pound cake was hers.

"Hmm."

If she knew it would come to this, she'd have presented it as she drank black tea with her family hours ago. Eating this before sleeping wasn't especially healthy, anyways.

"That said."

As she stared at the cake in the box, she again questioned if it was actually for her.

She couldn't shake that feeling that there was a mistake, and wondered if Yoshino-chan had eaten the truffles before Rei could notice. At which point there wasn't much to be done. Come to think of it, that was easy to imagine.

"But there's no way to know for sure."

She mumbled, as she flicked the box.

If she really wanted, she could ask Yoshino-chan tomorrow what she received from Rei. And if she'd received truffles… well, nothing changes.

"… Whatever."

No point in fussing over it now. She began to feel stupid for pondering over a cake alone, and decided to eat. At this rate, the fourteenth of February would end.

But a whole pound cake sprinkled with chocolate chips sat imposingly on her desk. She didn't feel like making the trip to the kitchen to get a knife for cutting it, so she tore bits from it and popped it in her mouth.

"Itadakimasu."

The sweet chocolate chip pound cake was neither truffle nor bitter, but she felt it was better than what you could get at one of those Western confectionary stores.

This is what Yoshino-chan's liking tastes like.

It was pretty good, so she just mumbled, "Hmm."

Seki:

===19:30, Rei===

"Just take a bath after father's done."

Said mother, so Rei gathered her bath towel and change of clothes and walked toward the bath room.

"Oh, Rei, sorry for making you bother today. Everyone was happy."

She ran into father, whose body was still steaming from the bath. The evening class was the end of training today.

"No problem. I hope it fit everyone's taste."

"What was it called, bound cake?"

"Pound cake."

Bound cake would be something that jumped. She imagined cake bouncing around like a rubber ball.

"The senbei you made last year was good, too, but it worked just as well."

"Is that so."

She made cookies for Valentine's Day last year, but she didn't correct him. Father lived the path of the sword. There was no need for him to be knowledgeable about pastry.

"It's simple to make, shall I make some more?"

"Hmm… well, if you've got time, you should go train."

"Yes. I'll make some as a change of pace, then."

"Mm."

On Valentine's Day it'd become a tradition to hand pastry to father's students. At first, mother invited the students secretly and popped chocolate in their mouths, but at some point Rei's cooking had begun circulating.

"My daughter made too much, so help yourselves."

Was how father put things, and so in order to keep up appearances, Rei made "too much" pastry on Valentine's Day.

She didn't find anything bad about that. Plus, because of that habit, she'd been saved this Valentine's Day.

"Are you taking a bath now?"

"Yes."

"Warm up well."

"Yes."

With a quick bow, she went to the bath. She was used to training during the winter, so she thought she was relatively strong against the cold, but riding a bicycle for forty minutes in the snow was harsh. It was just a flurry, so the ground wasn't frozen, but her hands and feet were freezing so there were a number of times she felt like she might lose control.

The bath room was nicely warmed because father had left the bath cover open. She scooped hot water with a bucket and dumped it over herself. Because her skin was cold, the water felt especially hot and electrifying.

Ah, paradise.

She soaked herself in the tub to her shoulders and unintentionally moaned. Her voice had become closer and closer to her father's, so that left her with complex feelings.

But, thank goodness.

She was able to hand onee-sama and Yoshino Valentine's presents.

[[Image:MM_v05_11.jpg|thumb]]
After singing a full chorus of Maria-sama's Soul, she stepped out of the bath. If she kept soaking in it, she thought she'd fall asleep.

She wondered if the muscles used to make meringue differed from the muscles used in kendo. When she scooped more water, her arms felt heavy.

"Wish we had a shower."

She thought this every time she shampooed her hair. But her stubborn father was adamantly against it, saying it didn't fit a Japanese cypress bath. She could understand the desire to stay with a pure Japanese style, but it became a pressing issue after mid-summer training. Father probably never thought about the fact that his daughter was now a grown girl. As a result, she tended to use Yoshino's house's shower, but that's a secret.

"Yoshino."

Having washed her hair and scrubbed herself from head to toe, she dunked herself in the bath again, and thought about Yoshino.

Rei giggled in the bath. Yoshino probably wasn't amused by someone else finding the dating ticket. When she threw chocolate at Rei, shouting, "Idiot," ah, that was cute. It was just a complete beginner's chocolate, where you boiled down store-bought chocolate and poured it into a mould, but it pleased her. Plus, compared to the straight, store-bought chocolate from last year, there was progress.

Was it because she was soaking in hot water? Rei felt like her brain was melting. And the strange feeling of satisfaction made her feel a bit high, so what the recipients were thinking was far from her mind.

Maria-sama ga Miteru:Volume5 Chapter6 2

2009-02-23T00:48:43Z

Seki:

===19:18, Yoshino===

Shimazu Yoshino was in her own room, in her own house, troubled.

On her kotatsu was a paper handle-bag you would find at a cake store, one that could fit three or five little cakes into.

It was a Valentine's present from Hasekura Rei, her sœur at school and her blood-related cousin at home.

"… Strange."

Last year the box was large enough to fit a hat. So she prepared herself for an even larger gift this year. But…

"It's half the size of a shoebox. What's going on?"

As she'd said to Yumi-san, the chocolate cake grew every year, and while it was a burden, she was also pleased by it. How long would the cake continue to grow? When would it reach its pinnacle, and how would it look then?

"But I didn't think it'd be this year-"

Yoshino looked at the box again, and thought.

Lots of things happened last autumn-. And love wasn't really something to be measured by the size of a present, but she was feeling especially anxious this year.

"… Gosh."

She thought back to when she received it. She could have been able to ask, "Wow it's quite small this year," as a joking remark at the time. But they were in the midst of a little spat, so she didn't pay the size any heed.

Well, she called it a spat, but it was mostly Yoshino just pouting.

Rei-chan wasn't (especially) in the wrong, but she was still angry, so there was no helping it. Rei-chan hid the treasure in such a weird spot, so the half-day dating ticket went to some random first-year. And Rei-chan had the gall to show up smiling!

She became irritated again remembering all that, but she had to think about what to do with the box, so Yoshino left her anger aside for the moment.

Right, the problem was the content.

"It's not chocolate cake."

She opened the box, then sighed. What was this about?

Ignoring the size of its contents, they were quite different from what she'd expected.

Was this some sort of message? But Rei-chan wasn't the type to use such means.

"I don't get it-"

Even the famed detective Yoshino could only throw her hands in the air. Plus, her biorhythm was all over the place or something, because her deducing skills were failing her today. After all, she was the one who was supposed to understand Rei-chan the most, yet she couldn't figure out where Rei-chan hid her treasure.

If things were to come to this, she shouldn't have been so harsh a few moments ago. But that was just retrospective thinking. After kicking up such a hissy fit, she couldn't just ring her up and ask about the contents of the present.

Plus, considering what she gave, she really had no confidence in bringing up such a topic. If you were to weigh them on a scale, Rei-chan's present would end up significantly heavier. Both in appearance, weight, and probably taste.

"I don't get it, should I just eat it?"

Truth be told, father hadn't returned home yet, so they were still waiting on dinner. So she was actually quite hungry at the moment. She knew you weren't supposed to eat sweets before dinner, but maybe it was alright to just eat a bite?

"Huh?"

The moment she decided to eat, she remembered.

"Rei-chan said she'd just stopped by Rosa Foetida's house."

That was shy she'd been late. Usually they exchanged presents as soon as they got home, so she'd been wondering where Rei-chan had gone. They'd gone to school separately because of the treasure hunt, and then Rei-chan'd gone home earlier, so that'd been nagging at her spirits, too.

"Maybe she switched Rosa Foetida and I's presents…!?"

No, there's no way she'd make that sort of mistake-.

"No, it's totally possible, because it's Rei-chan."

After all she was careless enough to stick her card in the Edo pricing book in the library. Of course, Yoshino understood that was supposed to be for her, but that sort of thought process was twisted. It was alright because Rei-chan's fans found it, but if no one found it, or worse, if Yoshino had found it, how was she going to explain that?

Rei-chan seemed meticulous, but she tended to be careless.

"She messes up so much sometimes."

She might not have thought about the size of the boxes. Ah, that must be it. It had to be. Last year she gave Rosa Foetida bitter truffles. So the size of the box must have been around that of a bento box. If that box were to become bigger a year later, it'd be around this size.

Such smooth reasoning.

"Then I shouldn't just eat it."

She closed the box and folded her arms. Rei-chan might call her at some point. Maybe Rosa Foetida was calling Rei-chan now. –That a large cake had been delivered to her.

She had to make sure she'd be able to return the present immediately when that happened. If she were to eat the present right now, it'd look like she was being super possessive, and she didn't want to have that appearance.

She'll sit tight for a bit. Yoshino rolled to her side in her kotatsu.

"I wonder if Rei-chan's eaten yet."

Even though they were neighbours, they couldn't see the lights in each other's room. Where was her hatefully beloved cousin right now, and what was she doing?

Maria-sama ga Miteru:Volume5 Chapter6 1

2009-02-23T00:48:35Z

Seki:

===18:50, Eriko===

Torii Eriko, also known as Rosa Foetida, was in her own room, in her own house, troubled.

In front of her was a paper box, the ones you saw in Western confectionary stores, the ones where when you folded it up, it'd present to you a handle. It was around half the size of the box she'd been given last Christmas, when she'd been given low-heel shoes. But it was half as wide, not half as long, resulting in a very thin, long rectangular solid.

"So it's probably not truffles…"

That opinion wouldn't change whether you look at it from outside or inside. Well, no, the moment you opened it, you'd know its contents. But she wanted to try to figure it out without going that far. No deep reason.

It was handed to her just ten minutes ago by her sœur, Hasekura Rei, as a Valentine's Day gift. She'd ridden her bicycle here even though it was snowing outside.

Rei might have been feeling guilty about not being able to hand it to her during school. Not that Eriko minded.

After all, she'd been missing school of late for exam studies. Rei probably didn't know if she would show up. It was better to leave a delicate food like chocolate at home, in the refrigerator, than to carry it about. Plus, Rei's home was just a few minutes' walk from school.

Of course, she'd be lying if she said when Rei showed no hints of handing her chocolate because of the treasure hunt she didn't worry. But Rei had chased her to the main gates and whispered to her asking if she could "visit her house later that night," so she'd stopped worrying then.

She wanted to invite Rei into the house for tea, but she seemed in a hurry to leave, so she decided against forcing her to stay. Rei said she was going to Shimazu Yoshino's house afterwards.

Yoshino-chan's house was next to Rei's. She could have gone to the closer person first, but maybe she'd wanted to prioritize the senior. How very like Rei, with her athletics-based discipline and conscientiousness. And that was not a bad thing at all.

"But, this-"

Rei had brought it, so it was doubtlessly a present from Rei. And it was handmade. There was no problem there. The problem-.

"Is this really for me?"

Eriko had mumbled that nine times in the last ten minutes. So this was the commemorative tenth time. She'd probably not noticed it herself, but she was mumbling it once every minute.

"What if she made a mistake."

She knew Rei changed the contents of her present based on the person she was gifting. Because she made things based on their tastes. So the chocolate truffles last year was delicious. The sweetness was a bit suppressed by bitterness, giving it a distinctly mature taste.
She was so astonished at how good it was – she'd never eaten something that good before – that she expressed great admiration to Rei on the spot… and Rei replied happily, "If you're that pleased with it, I'll happily make it again next year." Or maybe she suggested making it again next year. She didn't remember exactly how it was, but it didn't matter, there wasn't too much of a difference. Eriko believed without a doubt she'd get truffles again this year.

"So this looks more like Yoshino-chan's dominion."

But she wasn't sure. If there was at least a message card…

She heard Rei made Yoshino-chan a cake filled with chocolate cream last year. Quantity over quality for children. Well, considering Rei was making it, there'd be no drop-off in quality.

"But, you wouldn't usually mix it up, considering how different the box sizes are."

But it was Rei. She seemed reliable, but she had a tendency to miss things. Usually she was so dependable, but at certain times she'd become completely useless. She was the headlong charge type, so if one thing occupied her attention, everything else ended up being pushed out of her mind. Though, as her big sister, Eriko found that part of Rei cute.

"But, hmm."

Maybe Rei'd made a large quantity of truffles, because Eriko'd been so pleased by them, and there were so many she'd ended up needing this sort of box. And then she'd accidentally put Yoshino-chan's one into hers. How was that? Good reasoning, perhaps?

She looked at the clock.

Five minutes before seven.

Rei had come at six forty, so it'd been fifteen minutes since then. In five minutes, Rei would arrive home. And if she were to notice, it'd be after that, before she went to deliver the present to the Shimazu household. Even if Rei herself didn't notice, Yoshino-chan would notice, pointing it out when she opened her box. –Right, if the contents of that box were truffles.

"Mmm."

She found herself with nothing immediate to do. Well, it wasn't like she was going to start studying now, so it wasn't really something she needed to mind.

She wanted to phone Rei to make sure, but she would be perplexed if Rei were to ask her why she thought there might have been a mistake. Because frankly it's because she was expecting truffles. And then it'd sound like she was a narrow-minded person who'd accept nothing other than truffles.

That wasn't true. Anything Rei made was lovely. But if Rei had indeed mixed things up, she needed to tell her, right?

Hello, did you hand me the right chocolate? -No, no. There must be a smarter way to do it.

"Eriko-chan, it's dinner time."

Her mother's voice came through the interphone.

"Okay. Coming."
Well, no sense pondering it now. She left the present, and her thoughts, in her room and stepped out. Rei might come calling at some point.

She could smell demi-glace sauce wafting up from the kitchen. Beef stew tonight.

"Oh, right."

Eriko stopped descending the stairs and hurried back to her room.

"Chocolate, chocolate."

She dug out the paper bags hidden in her closet. For her beloved, sly father and her strange brothers.

The men of the Torii household had come home early tonight in eager anticipation of chocolate from the only daughter.

Seki:

===23:10, Rei===

"Oh yeah, didn't onee-sama want me to make truffles again?"

Rei remembered that at eleven at night. After she slid into bed.

"Oh well, too late for that."

It wasn't like the Olympics or anything, but there should be significance in that she was able to hand them the presents. –Right, because Rei came that close to missing that entirely.

She felt cold sweat just thinking about how she felt when she arrived at school. When she saw the students exchanging chocolate in front of Maria-sama. Yes, that was when she first realized she'd forgotten entirely.

She was so caught up in the treasure hunt preparations that she'd forgotten to prepare Valentine's chocolate.

Fortunately, she'd gone to school without Yoshino today, because of the treasure hunt. After switching to her indoor shoes, she flew to the public telephone in front of the office. And asked her mother to buy flour and chocolate chips and other ingredients. But she just said it was because she didn't have enough for father and his students.

Her mother and Yoshino's mother could almost read each other's minds, so she had to careful with what she said. Yoshino would find out in a heartbeat.

And when she got home, she baked the cakes. She didn't have time for intricate things, so she simply made plain pound cakes, sprinkled chocolate chips on them, and tossed them in the oven.

Three stacks each, two times. For a total of six stacks. Thank goodness they had a large oven.

But mass production of handmade cakes, aside from the amount of time it took, they really drained energy. And she had to keep track of all the time and ingredients, so her mind and body both got worn out. Practice-swinging with an empty mind was so much easier.

When all was said and done, she'd managed to do a good job today.

"All's well that ends well."

She rolled over in bed and mumbled.

"Onee-sama probably won't remember what she said last year. And I can always make truffles for her next year."

Rei was just sleepy. Her body was begging for rest.

So the fact that Rosa Foetida, who was intending to continue studies in a different university, would be nowhere near Lillian Girls' Academy "next year" didn't even begin to enter her head.

By the way, she had no idea that her cakes for Yoshino had been growing every year, too.

If one thing occupied her attention, everything else ended up being pushed out of her mind.

She seemed reliable, but she had a tendency to miss things.

Oh, sœur.

Both of them were on the mark with their assessment of Rei.

Maria-sama ga Miteru:Volume5 Postscript

2009-02-23T00:38:45Z

Seki: New page: ==Postscript== -Nothing comes to mind. Good day, it's Konno. In my case, I usually start out a postscript with an idea and run with it, but for some reason I'm coming up blank. Whic...

==Postscript==

-Nothing comes to mind.

Good day, it's Konno.

In my case, I usually start out a postscript with an idea and run with it, but for some reason I'm coming up blank.

Which is troublesome. Because I have five pages this time… can I do it?

Then you should just write "things I should explain (see Maria-sama ga Miteru, Rosa Canina)," I point out to myself. But I don't know, I don't feel like it this time, so I'll pass. Explaining things in a postscript is, you know, it feels bad. Plus you keep thinking retroactively, "Ah, I shoulda written that," and such.

So, what to do.

A (Atogaki)

-Nah, I don't have enough pages for that (laugh) anyways. Also I'll probably be scolded if I keep using that trick.

Oh, I have to finish the "nakakiyo" conversation.

A good majority of the letters I received after "Rosa Canina" included an answer about "nakakiyo."

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it (laugh).

And the results, based on when I write this (it's the latter half of January. The time difference is unavoidable in published works)… of the reader reporters (?), 100% said they'd never done it. –Ahh, where ever did my ancestors pick this up?

During the Edo period, papers were peddled with a picture of the Seven Dieties of Good Luck on a treasure ship along with the circular that began "nakakiyo" (I knew about this from the start), so folding the sheet into a boat probably evolved from that. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to really look into this.

By the way.

It made me chuckle because it was written almost like a pair with the "nakakiyo" topic, but I received a lot of information about the setsubun futomaki. Actually, I received a lot more information about that. Friends sending me mail and e-mail, fellow authors answering me in their New Year's cards (!)…

… Apparently it's quite a major topic. Geographically speaking it seems like more of a western custom. After all, everyone spoke of it like "eating mochi during New Year's." Seems extremely rooted.

In summary.

You're not supposed to talk while eating futomaki, apparently. Although there are some places that don't have such a rule, apparently.

The futomaki is a symbol of the ogre's kanabou mace, apparently. (ß I see!)

And in certain places, the supermarkets and convenience stores advertise setsubun with great fervor, apparently.

-Is about it.

I'm sure if you look things up in books, you could find out its origins and changes in detail, but I'm personally more interested in the fact that it's so entrenched in culture despite the changing times, so "in my house this is what we do" is enough for me. Change is culture, after all!

Thank you for your cooperation, everyone.

Now, there was one big abnormality.

The title has "Part One" on it, and it'll be part one of two. The first two-part set in Maria-sama ga Miteru.

It's a bit of an omnibus, and I titled it "Valentine's Gift" to tie everything together. So there're no stories using that title here. And that'll probably be true in the second part.

Oh, speaking of which, in regard to lady Kanina Shizuka.

For those who thought that would be the last of her, she popped up again, didn't she. She's going to Italy, but she's remaining in Lillian until graduation. But of course. She'd been staying because of Rosa Gigantea. She probably intends to leave Japan after sending Rosa Gigantea off to university.

But as usual, she's quite audacious. She's about to become a "character too good to waste." By the way, number one on the list of "characters too good to waste" of course Rosa Gigantea.

Oh my.

I rambled and the five pages have vanished. I guess that's how things are.

The year 2000 has come and gone. … Which means the next deadline is creeping up, too. Probably.

So, the first preview in a while.

The second part of "Maria-sama ga Miteru, Valentine's Gift," of course.

I'll probably do things like what happened the day after "Surprise Chocolate," or random chatter, or things like that and stick everything into the volume. I haven't started yet, though, so take that with a grain of salt (laugh).

I hope we meet again with the leaves are fresh.

Gokigenyou.

Konno Oyuki

Maria-sama ga Miteru

== Synopsis ==

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Catholic school for girls, and can be considered character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain. At Lillian Girls' School, there is a tradition known as the sœur system (sœur being French for "sister"), in which a second, or third-year student, the grande sœur ("big sister"), will give her rosary to a junior student, the petite sœur ("little sister"), and promise to look after them and guide them.

When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a new first-year student admitted to Lillian, is praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniform ribbon. This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch. After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayurikai — the student council of the school. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become her petite sœur.

This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayurikai where she assists them in school matters at the same level as the other two petite sœurs — Yoshino Shimazu, and Shimako Tōdō — who are the petite sœurs of Rei Hasekura, and Sei Satō respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayurikai, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable.

'''Warning:''' Suffice it to say, this series is considered yuri, having various mentions of lesbian relationships. They are not, however, particularly graphic. If you find this sort of topic offensive, look away.

**Happy New Years everyone! As I said in my previous update, my dissertation's due in 5 days, but I'll be sending it to the printer for getting bound in 3 days. Which means I'm almost relatively free (I've got another 30-50 page short story due on the 15th but that one should be smoother sailing... and an exam on the 17th or so but whatever!)... sorry for keeping you all waiting, I'm still here, and I haven't forgotten, just been a rather painful semester :( *Should* get back to work in about a week, at the very least in just over two weeks when my exam finishes. I'm just not able to multitask that well, so translating got the short end of the stick with the writing assignments, sorry.

**Well I posted this in my profile page but I figured (belatedly) I should mention it here, because I'm sure most people don't bother to check that. I was sick (apparently with a really bad allergic reaction to some sort of combination of grass and fungus and trees) for about three weeks, which delayed me after August 23. Still managed to squeeze a chapter out three days later, because that's around when my medication kicked in. Then I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and that's absolutely frayed my nerves (I hate things in my mouth, so the stitches are driving me up the wall), so I haven't been able to concentrate on anything much. And I've got the other half of my mouth still waiting o_O So I'll try to gather myself and resume translating, but yeah, that's why I fell off the end of the world as of late.

===<noinclude>23:10, Rei===

"Oh yeah, didn't onee-sama want me to make truffles again?"

Rei remembered that at eleven at night. After she slid into bed.

"Oh well, too late for that."

It wasn't like the Olympics or anything, but there should be significance in that she was able to hand them the presents. –Right, because Rei came that close to missing that entirely.

She felt cold sweat just thinking about how she felt when she arrived at school. When she saw the students exchanging chocolate in front of Maria-sama. Yes, that was when she first realized she'd forgotten entirely.

She was so caught up in the treasure hunt preparations that she'd forgotten to prepare Valentine's chocolate.

Fortunately, she'd gone to school without Yoshino today, because of the treasure hunt. After switching to her indoor shoes, she flew to the public telephone in front of the office. And asked her mother to buy flour and chocolate chips and other ingredients. But she just said it was because she didn't have enough for father and his students.

Her mother and Yoshino's mother could almost read each other's minds, so she had to careful with what she said. Yoshino would find out in a heartbeat.

And when she got home, she baked the cakes. She didn't have time for intricate things, so she simply made plain pound cakes, sprinkled chocolate chips on them, and tossed them in the oven.

Three stacks each, two times. For a total of six stacks. Thank goodness they had a large oven.

But mass production of handmade cakes, aside from the amount of time it took, they really drained energy. And she had to keep track of all the time and ingredients, so her mind and body both got worn out. Practice-swinging with an empty mind was so much easier.

When all was said and done, she'd managed to do a good job today.

"All's well that ends well."

She rolled over in bed and mumbled.

"Onee-sama probably won't remember what she said last year. And I can always make truffles for her next year."

Rei was just sleepy. Her body was begging for rest.

So the fact that Rosa Foetida, who was intending to continue studies in a different university, would be nowhere near Lillian Girls' Academy "next year" didn't even begin to enter her head.

By the way, she had no idea that her cakes for Yoshino had been growing every year, too.

If one thing occupied her attention, everything else ended up being pushed out of her mind.

She seemed reliable, but she had a tendency to miss things.

Oh, sœur.

Both of them were on the mark with their assessment of Rei.

Maria-sama ga Miteru

Seki: added v5c6p5

[[Image:MM_v01_cover.jpg|200px|thumb|MariMite volume 1 cover.]]

== Synopsis ==

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Catholic school for girls, and can be considered character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain. At Lillian Girls' School, there is a tradition known as the sœur system (sœur being French for "sister"), in which a second, or third-year student, the grande sœur ("big sister"), will give her rosary to a junior student, the petite sœur ("little sister"), and promise to look after them and guide them.

When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a new first-year student admitted to Lillian, is praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniform ribbon. This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch. After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayurikai — the student council of the school. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become her petite sœur.

This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayurikai where she assists them in school matters at the same level as the other two petite sœurs — Yoshino Shimazu, and Shimako Tōdō — who are the petite sœurs of Rei Hasekura, and Sei Satō respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayurikai, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable.

**Happy New Years everyone! As I said in my previous update, my dissertation's due in 5 days, but I'll be sending it to the printer for getting bound in 3 days. Which means I'm almost relatively free (I've got another 30-50 page short story due on the 15th but that one should be smoother sailing... and an exam on the 17th or so but whatever!)... sorry for keeping you all waiting, I'm still here, and I haven't forgotten, just been a rather painful semester :( *Should* get back to work in about a week, at the very least in just over two weeks when my exam finishes. I'm just not able to multitask that well, so translating got the short end of the stick with the writing assignments, sorry.

**Well I posted this in my profile page but I figured (belatedly) I should mention it here, because I'm sure most people don't bother to check that. I was sick (apparently with a really bad allergic reaction to some sort of combination of grass and fungus and trees) for about three weeks, which delayed me after August 23. Still managed to squeeze a chapter out three days later, because that's around when my medication kicked in. Then I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and that's absolutely frayed my nerves (I hate things in my mouth, so the stitches are driving me up the wall), so I haven't been able to concentrate on anything much. And I've got the other half of my mouth still waiting o_O So I'll try to gather myself and resume translating, but yeah, that's why I fell off the end of the world as of late.

===<noinclude>23:10, Yoshino===

The sweet chocolate chip pound cake didn't have chocolate cream dumped all over it, but it was better than what you could get at one of those neighbor cake stores.

"Hmm."

Rei-chan didn't call her after all. Who cares if it was a mistake anyways? It's this late, Rosa Foetida probably would have decided to eat, too. Yoshino would have eaten earlier if she hadn't fallen asleep. Dinner, homework, bath, and then when she settled into her kotatsu, she'd fallen asleep until this late hour.

"Pretty good."

She'd just intended to have one bite, but that turned into two, three… She felt she wouldn't be able to stop herself if she went any further, so she tore off a fourth bite and shut the box.

"It being so good makes everything even more vexing."

Yoshino muttered, as she flicked the box.

The eldest and youngest of three sisters have a rather complex relationship as they settle on different sides of the middle.

== Synopsis ==

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Catholic school for girls, and can be considered character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain. At Lillian Girls' School, there is a tradition known as the sœur system (sœur being French for "sister"), in which a second, or third-year student, the grande sœur ("big sister"), will give her rosary to a junior student, the petite sœur ("little sister"), and promise to look after them and guide them.

When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a new first-year student admitted to Lillian, is praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniform ribbon. This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch. After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayurikai — the student council of the school. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become her petite sœur.

This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayurikai where she assists them in school matters at the same level as the other two petite sœurs — Yoshino Shimazu, and Shimako Tōdō — who are the petite sœurs of Rei Hasekura, and Sei Satō respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayurikai, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable.

'''Warning:''' Suffice it to say, this series is considered yuri, having various mentions of lesbian relationships. They are not, however, particularly graphic. If you find this sort of topic offensive, look away.

**Happy New Years everyone! As I said in my previous update, my dissertation's due in 5 days, but I'll be sending it to the printer for getting bound in 3 days. Which means I'm almost relatively free (I've got another 30-50 page short story due on the 15th but that one should be smoother sailing... and an exam on the 17th or so but whatever!)... sorry for keeping you all waiting, I'm still here, and I haven't forgotten, just been a rather painful semester :( *Should* get back to work in about a week, at the very least in just over two weeks when my exam finishes. I'm just not able to multitask that well, so translating got the short end of the stick with the writing assignments, sorry.

**Well I posted this in my profile page but I figured (belatedly) I should mention it here, because I'm sure most people don't bother to check that. I was sick (apparently with a really bad allergic reaction to some sort of combination of grass and fungus and trees) for about three weeks, which delayed me after August 23. Still managed to squeeze a chapter out three days later, because that's around when my medication kicked in. Then I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and that's absolutely frayed my nerves (I hate things in my mouth, so the stitches are driving me up the wall), so I haven't been able to concentrate on anything much. And I've got the other half of my mouth still waiting o_O So I'll try to gather myself and resume translating, but yeah, that's why I fell off the end of the world as of late.

===<noinclude>23:10, Eriko===

Shoot, I dozed off. Eriko looked up from the desk she'd been resting her head upon.

It was already past eleven at night.

There was no way Rei would call her at this hour. So that would mean the pound cake was hers.

"Hmm."

If she knew it would come to this, she'd have presented it as she drank black tea with her family hours ago. Eating this before sleeping wasn't especially healthy, anyways.

"That said."

As she stared at the cake in the box, she again questioned if it was actually for her.

She couldn't shake that feeling that there was a mistake, and wondered if Yoshino-chan had eaten the truffles before Rei could notice. At which point there wasn't much to be done. Come to think of it, that was easy to imagine.

"But there's no way to know for sure."

She mumbled, as she flicked the box.

If she really wanted, she could ask Yoshino-chan tomorrow what she received from Rei. And if she'd received truffles… well, nothing changes.

"… Whatever."

No point in fussing over it now. She began to feel stupid for pondering over a cake alone, and decided to eat. At this rate, the fourteenth of February would end.

But a whole pound cake sprinkled with chocolate chips sat imposingly on her desk. She didn't feel like making the trip to the kitchen to get a knife for cutting it, so she tore bits from it and popped it in her mouth.

"Itadakimasu."

The sweet chocolate chip pound cake was neither truffle nor bitter, but she felt it was better than what you could get at one of those Western confectionary stores.

This is what Yoshino-chan's liking tastes like.

It was pretty good, so she just mumbled, "Hmm."

== Synopsis ==

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Catholic school for girls, and can be considered character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain. At Lillian Girls' School, there is a tradition known as the sœur system (sœur being French for "sister"), in which a second, or third-year student, the grande sœur ("big sister"), will give her rosary to a junior student, the petite sœur ("little sister"), and promise to look after them and guide them.

When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a new first-year student admitted to Lillian, is praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniform ribbon. This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch. After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayurikai — the student council of the school. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become her petite sœur.

This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayurikai where she assists them in school matters at the same level as the other two petite sœurs — Yoshino Shimazu, and Shimako Tōdō — who are the petite sœurs of Rei Hasekura, and Sei Satō respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayurikai, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable.

'''Warning:''' Suffice it to say, this series is considered yuri, having various mentions of lesbian relationships. They are not, however, particularly graphic. If you find this sort of topic offensive, look away.

*January 2, 2009
**Happy New Years everyone! As I said in my previous update, my dissertation's due in 5 days, but I'll be sending it to the printer for getting bound in 3 days. Which means I'm almost relatively free (I've got another 30-50 page short story due on the 15th but that one should be smoother sailing... and an exam on the 17th or so but whatever!)... sorry for keeping you all waiting, I'm still here, and I haven't forgotten, just been a rather painful semester :( *Should* get back to work in about a week, at the very least in just over two weeks when my exam finishes. I'm just not able to multitask that well, so translating got the short end of the stick with the writing assignments, sorry.

**Well I posted this in my profile page but I figured (belatedly) I should mention it here, because I'm sure most people don't bother to check that. I was sick (apparently with a really bad allergic reaction to some sort of combination of grass and fungus and trees) for about three weeks, which delayed me after August 23. Still managed to squeeze a chapter out three days later, because that's around when my medication kicked in. Then I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and that's absolutely frayed my nerves (I hate things in my mouth, so the stitches are driving me up the wall), so I haven't been able to concentrate on anything much. And I've got the other half of my mouth still waiting o_O So I'll try to gather myself and resume translating, but yeah, that's why I fell off the end of the world as of late.

===<noinclude>19:30, Rei===

"Just take a bath after father's done."

Said mother, so Rei gathered her bath towel and change of clothes and walked toward the bath room.

"Oh, Rei, sorry for making you bother today. Everyone was happy."

She ran into father, whose body was still steaming from the bath. The evening class was the end of training today.

"No problem. I hope it fit everyone's taste."

"What was it called, bound cake?"

"Pound cake."

Bound cake would be something that jumped. She imagined cake bouncing around like a rubber ball.

"The senbei you made last year was good, too, but it worked just as well."

"Is that so."

She made cookies for Valentine's Day last year, but she didn't correct him. Father lived the path of the sword. There was no need for him to be knowledgeable about pastry.

"It's simple to make, shall I make some more?"

"Hmm… well, if you've got time, you should go train."

"Yes. I'll make some as a change of pace, then."

"Mm."

On Valentine's Day it'd become a tradition to hand pastry to father's students. At first, mother invited the students secretly and popped chocolate in their mouths, but at some point Rei's cooking had begun circulating.

"My daughter made too much, so help yourselves."

Was how father put things, and so in order to keep up appearances, Rei made "too much" pastry on Valentine's Day.

She didn't find anything bad about that. Plus, because of that habit, she'd been saved this Valentine's Day.

"Are you taking a bath now?"

"Yes."

"Warm up well."

"Yes."

With a quick bow, she went to the bath. She was used to training during the winter, so she thought she was relatively strong against the cold, but riding a bicycle for forty minutes in the snow was harsh. It was just a flurry, so the ground wasn't frozen, but her hands and feet were freezing so there were a number of times she felt like she might lose control.

The bath room was nicely warmed because father had left the bath cover open. She scooped hot water with a bucket and dumped it over herself. Because her skin was cold, the water felt especially hot and electrifying.

Ah, paradise.

She soaked herself in the tub to her shoulders and unintentionally moaned. Her voice had become closer and closer to her father's, so that left her with complex feelings.

But, thank goodness.

She was able to hand onee-sama and Yoshino Valentine's presents.

[[Image:MM_v05_11.jpg|thumb]]
After singing a full chorus of Maria-sama's Soul, she stepped out of the bath. If she kept soaking in it, she thought she'd fall asleep.

She wondered if the muscles used to make meringue differed from the muscles used in kendo. When she scooped more water, her arms felt heavy.

"Wish we had a shower."

She thought this every time she shampooed her hair. But her stubborn father was adamantly against it, saying it didn't fit a Japanese cypress bath. She could understand the desire to stay with a pure Japanese style, but it became a pressing issue after mid-summer training. Father probably never thought about the fact that his daughter was now a grown girl. As a result, she tended to use Yoshino's house's shower, but that's a secret.

"Yoshino."

Having washed her hair and scrubbed herself from head to toe, she dunked herself in the bath again, and thought about Yoshino.

Rei giggled in the bath. Yoshino probably wasn't amused by someone else finding the dating ticket. When she threw chocolate at Rei, shouting, "Idiot," ah, that was cute. It was just a complete beginner's chocolate, where you boiled down store-bought chocolate and poured it into a mould, but it pleased her. Plus, compared to the straight, store-bought chocolate from last year, there was progress.

Was it because she was soaking in hot water? Rei felt like her brain was melting. And the strange feeling of satisfaction made her feel a bit high, so what the recipients were thinking was far from her mind.

[[Image:MM_v01_cover.jpg|200px|thumb|MariMite volume 1 cover.]]

== Synopsis ==

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Catholic school for girls, and can be considered character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain. At Lillian Girls' School, there is a tradition known as the sœur system (sœur being French for "sister"), in which a second, or third-year student, the grande sœur ("big sister"), will give her rosary to a junior student, the petite sœur ("little sister"), and promise to look after them and guide them.

When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a new first-year student admitted to Lillian, is praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniform ribbon. This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch. After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayurikai — the student council of the school. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become her petite sœur.

This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayurikai where she assists them in school matters at the same level as the other two petite sœurs — Yoshino Shimazu, and Shimako Tōdō — who are the petite sœurs of Rei Hasekura, and Sei Satō respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayurikai, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable.

**Well I posted this in my profile page but I figured (belatedly) I should mention it here, because I'm sure most people don't bother to check that. I was sick (apparently with a really bad allergic reaction to some sort of combination of grass and fungus and trees) for about three weeks, which delayed me after August 23. Still managed to squeeze a chapter out three days later, because that's around when my medication kicked in. Then I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and that's absolutely frayed my nerves (I hate things in my mouth, so the stitches are driving me up the wall), so I haven't been able to concentrate on anything much. And I've got the other half of my mouth still waiting o_O So I'll try to gather myself and resume translating, but yeah, that's why I fell off the end of the world as of late.

Maria-sama ga Miteru:Volume5 Chapter6 1

2009-02-21T01:13:40Z

Seki:

===<noinclude>18:50, Eriko===

Torii Eriko, also known as Rosa Foetida, was in her own room, in her own house, troubled.

In front of her was a paper box, the ones you saw in Western confectionary stores, the ones where when you folded it up, it'd present to you a handle. It was around half the size of the box she'd been given last Christmas, when she'd been given low-heel shoes. But it was half as wide, not half as long, resulting in a very thin, long rectangular solid.

"So it's probably not truffles…"

That opinion wouldn't change whether you look at it from outside or inside. Well, no, the moment you opened it, you'd know its contents. But she wanted to try to figure it out without going that far. No deep reason.

It was handed to her just ten minutes ago by her sœur, Hasekura Rei, as a Valentine's Day gift. She'd ridden her bicycle here even though it was snowing outside.

Rei might have been feeling guilty about not being able to hand it to her during school. Not that Eriko minded.

After all, she'd been missing school of late for exam studies. Rei probably didn't know if she would show up. It was better to leave a delicate food like chocolate at home, in the refrigerator, than to carry it about. Plus, Rei's home was just a few minutes' walk from school.

Of course, she'd be lying if she said when Rei showed no hints of handing her chocolate because of the treasure hunt she didn't worry. But Rei had chased her to the main gates and whispered to her asking if she could "visit her house later that night," so she'd stopped worrying then.

She wanted to invite Rei into the house for tea, but she seemed in a hurry to leave, so she decided against forcing her to stay. Rei said she was going to Shimazu Yoshino's house afterwards.

Yoshino-chan's house was next to Rei's. She could have gone to the closer person first, but maybe she'd wanted to prioritize the senior. How very like Rei, with her athletics-based discipline and conscientiousness. And that was not a bad thing at all.

"But, this-"

Rei had brought it, so it was doubtlessly a present from Rei. And it was handmade. There was no problem there. The problem-.

"Is this really for me?"

Eriko had mumbled that nine times in the last ten minutes. So this was the commemorative tenth time. She'd probably not noticed it herself, but she was mumbling it once every minute.

"What if she made a mistake."

She knew Rei changed the contents of her present based on the person she was gifting. Because she made things based on their tastes. So the chocolate truffles last year was delicious. The sweetness was a bit suppressed by bitterness, giving it a distinctly mature taste.
She was so astonished at how good it was – she'd never eaten something that good before – that she expressed great admiration to Rei on the spot… and Rei replied happily, "If you're that pleased with it, I'll happily make it again next year." Or maybe she suggested making it again next year. She didn't remember exactly how it was, but it didn't matter, there wasn't too much of a difference. Eriko believed without a doubt she'd get truffles again this year.

"So this looks more like Yoshino-chan's dominion."

But she wasn't sure. If there was at least a message card…

She heard Rei made Yoshino-chan a cake filled with chocolate cream last year. Quantity over quality for children. Well, considering Rei was making it, there'd be no drop-off in quality.

"But, you wouldn't usually mix it up, considering how different the box sizes are."

But it was Rei. She seemed reliable, but she had a tendency to miss things. Usually she was so dependable, but at certain times she'd become completely useless. She was the headlong charge type, so if one thing occupied her attention, everything else ended up being pushed out of her mind. Though, as her big sister, Eriko found that part of Rei cute.

"But, hmm."

Maybe Rei'd made a large quantity of truffles, because Eriko'd been so pleased by them, and there were so many she'd ended up needing this sort of box. And then she'd accidentally put Yoshino-chan's one into hers. How was that? Good reasoning, perhaps?

She looked at the clock.

Five minutes before seven.

Rei had come at six forty, so it'd been fifteen minutes since then. In five minutes, Rei would arrive home. And if she were to notice, it'd be after that, before she went to deliver the present to the Shimazu household. Even if Rei herself didn't notice, Yoshino-chan would notice, pointing it out when she opened her box. –Right, if the contents of that box were truffles.

"Mmm."

She found herself with nothing immediate to do. Well, it wasn't like she was going to start studying now, so it wasn't really something she needed to mind.

She wanted to phone Rei to make sure, but she would be perplexed if Rei were to ask her why she thought there might have been a mistake. Because frankly it's because she was expecting truffles. And then it'd sound like she was a narrow-minded person who'd accept nothing other than truffles.

That wasn't true. Anything Rei made was lovely. But if Rei had indeed mixed things up, she needed to tell her, right?

Hello, did you hand me the right chocolate? -No, no. There must be a smarter way to do it.

"Eriko-chan, it's dinner time."

Her mother's voice came through the interphone.

"Okay. Coming."
Well, no sense pondering it now. She left the present, and her thoughts, in her room and stepped out. Rei might come calling at some point.

She could smell demi-glace sauce wafting up from the kitchen. Beef stew tonight.

"Oh, right."

Eriko stopped descending the stairs and hurried back to her room.

"Chocolate, chocolate."

She dug out the paper bags hidden in her closet. For her beloved, sly father and her strange brothers.

The men of the Torii household had come home early tonight in eager anticipation of chocolate from the only daughter.

== Synopsis ==

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Catholic school for girls, and can be considered character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain. At Lillian Girls' School, there is a tradition known as the sœur system (sœur being French for "sister"), in which a second, or third-year student, the grande sœur ("big sister"), will give her rosary to a junior student, the petite sœur ("little sister"), and promise to look after them and guide them.

When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a new first-year student admitted to Lillian, is praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniform ribbon. This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch. After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayurikai — the student council of the school. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become her petite sœur.

This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayurikai where she assists them in school matters at the same level as the other two petite sœurs — Yoshino Shimazu, and Shimako Tōdō — who are the petite sœurs of Rei Hasekura, and Sei Satō respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayurikai, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable.

**Wao, it has been a while. Sorry for the rather short chapter as I try to get back into the swing of things. (if that's the right phrase O_O) Volume 5 Chapter 4 Part 3 added.
*January 2, 2009
**Happy New Years everyone! As I said in my previous update, my dissertation's due in 5 days, but I'll be sending it to the printer for getting bound in 3 days. Which means I'm almost relatively free (I've got another 30-50 page short story due on the 15th but that one should be smoother sailing... and an exam on the 17th or so but whatever!)... sorry for keeping you all waiting, I'm still here, and I haven't forgotten, just been a rather painful semester :( *Should* get back to work in about a week, at the very least in just over two weeks when my exam finishes. I'm just not able to multitask that well, so translating got the short end of the stick with the writing assignments, sorry.
*November 22, 2008
**Dissertation term sucks T_T It's due January 7th, so after that point I live a slightly less pressure-filled life, but until then I can't really promise anything, sorry to leave everyone hanging >_<

**Well I posted this in my profile page but I figured (belatedly) I should mention it here, because I'm sure most people don't bother to check that. I was sick (apparently with a really bad allergic reaction to some sort of combination of grass and fungus and trees) for about three weeks, which delayed me after August 23. Still managed to squeeze a chapter out three days later, because that's around when my medication kicked in. Then I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and that's absolutely frayed my nerves (I hate things in my mouth, so the stitches are driving me up the wall), so I haven't been able to concentrate on anything much. And I've got the other half of my mouth still waiting o_O So I'll try to gather myself and resume translating, but yeah, that's why I fell off the end of the world as of late.
*August 26, 2008

===<noinclude>19:18, Yoshino===

Shimazu Yoshino was in her own room, in her own house, troubled.

On her kotatsu was a paper handle-bag you would find at a cake store, one that could fit three or five little cakes into.

It was a Valentine's present from Hasekura Rei, her sœur at school and her blood-related cousin at home.

"… Strange."

Last year the box was large enough to fit a hat. So she prepared herself for an even larger gift this year. But…

"It's half the size of a shoebox. What's going on?"

As she'd said to Yumi-san, the chocolate cake grew every year, and while it was a burden, she was also pleased by it. How long would the cake continue to grow? When would it reach its pinnacle, and how would it look then?

"But I didn't think it'd be this year-"

Yoshino looked at the box again, and thought.

Lots of things happened last autumn-. And love wasn't really something to be measured by the size of a present, but she was feeling especially anxious this year.

"… Gosh."

She thought back to when she received it. She could have been able to ask, "Wow it's quite small this year," as a joking remark at the time. But they were in the midst of a little spat, so she didn't pay the size any heed.

Well, she called it a spat, but it was mostly Yoshino just pouting.

Rei-chan wasn't (especially) in the wrong, but she was still angry, so there was no helping it. Rei-chan hid the treasure in such a weird spot, so the half-day dating ticket went to some random first-year. And Rei-chan had the gall to show up smiling!

She became irritated again remembering all that, but she had to think about what to do with the box, so Yoshino left her anger aside for the moment.

Right, the problem was the content.

"It's not chocolate cake."

She opened the box, then sighed. What was this about?

Ignoring the size of its contents, they were quite different from what she'd expected.

Was this some sort of message? But Rei-chan wasn't the type to use such means.

"I don't get it-"

Even the famed detective Yoshino could only throw her hands in the air. Plus, her biorhythm was all over the place or something, because her deducing skills were failing her today. After all, she was the one who was supposed to understand Rei-chan the most, yet she couldn't figure out where Rei-chan hid her treasure.

If things were to come to this, she shouldn't have been so harsh a few moments ago. But that was just retrospective thinking. After kicking up such a hissy fit, she couldn't just ring her up and ask about the contents of the present.

Plus, considering what she gave, she really had no confidence in bringing up such a topic. If you were to weigh them on a scale, Rei-chan's present would end up significantly heavier. Both in appearance, weight, and probably taste.

"I don't get it, should I just eat it?"

Truth be told, father hadn't returned home yet, so they were still waiting on dinner. So she was actually quite hungry at the moment. She knew you weren't supposed to eat sweets before dinner, but maybe it was alright to just eat a bite?

"Huh?"

The moment she decided to eat, she remembered.

"Rei-chan said she'd just stopped by Rosa Foetida's house."

That was shy she'd been late. Usually they exchanged presents as soon as they got home, so she'd been wondering where Rei-chan had gone. They'd gone to school separately because of the treasure hunt, and then Rei-chan'd gone home earlier, so that'd been nagging at her spirits, too.

"Maybe she switched Rosa Foetida and I's presents…!?"

No, there's no way she'd make that sort of mistake-.

"No, it's totally possible, because it's Rei-chan."

After all she was careless enough to stick her card in the Edo pricing book in the library. Of course, Yoshino understood that was supposed to be for her, but that sort of thought process was twisted. It was alright because Rei-chan's fans found it, but if no one found it, or worse, if Yoshino had found it, how was she going to explain that?

Rei-chan seemed meticulous, but she tended to be careless.

"She messes up so much sometimes."

She might not have thought about the size of the boxes. Ah, that must be it. It had to be. Last year she gave Rosa Foetida bitter truffles. So the size of the box must have been around that of a bento box. If that box were to become bigger a year later, it'd be around this size.

Such smooth reasoning.

"Then I shouldn't just eat it."

She closed the box and folded her arms. Rei-chan might call her at some point. Maybe Rosa Foetida was calling Rei-chan now. –That a large cake had been delivered to her.

She had to make sure she'd be able to return the present immediately when that happened. If she were to eat the present right now, it'd look like she was being super possessive, and she didn't want to have that appearance.

She'll sit tight for a bit. Yoshino rolled to her side in her kotatsu.

"I wonder if Rei-chan's eaten yet."

Even though they were neighbours, they couldn't see the lights in each other's room. Where was her hatefully beloved cousin right now, and what was she doing?

Maria-sama ga Miteru

== Synopsis ==

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Catholic school for girls, and can be considered character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain. At Lillian Girls' School, there is a tradition known as the sœur system (sœur being French for "sister"), in which a second, or third-year student, the grande sœur ("big sister"), will give her rosary to a junior student, the petite sœur ("little sister"), and promise to look after them and guide them.

When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a new first-year student admitted to Lillian, is praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniform ribbon. This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch. After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayurikai — the student council of the school. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become her petite sœur.

This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayurikai where she assists them in school matters at the same level as the other two petite sœurs — Yoshino Shimazu, and Shimako Tōdō — who are the petite sœurs of Rei Hasekura, and Sei Satō respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayurikai, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria-sama_ga_Miteru Synopsis from wikipedia.]

'''Warning:''' Suffice it to say, this series is considered yuri, having various mentions of lesbian relationships. They are not, however, particularly graphic. If you find this sort of topic offensive, look away.

Which means I'm almost relatively free (I've got another 30-50 page short story due on the 15th but that one should be smoother sailing... and an exam on the 17th or so but whatever!)... sorry for keeping you all waiting, I'm still here, and I haven't forgotten, just been a rather painful semester :( *Should* get back to work in about a week, at the very least in just over two weeks when my exam finishes. I'm just not able to multitask that well, so translating got the short end of the stick with the writing assignments, sorry.

**Well I posted this in my profile page but I figured (belatedly) I should mention it here, because I'm sure most people don't bother to check that. I was sick (apparently with a really bad allergic reaction to some sort of combination of grass and fungus and trees) for about three weeks, which delayed me after August 23. Still managed to squeeze a chapter out three days later, because that's around when my medication kicked in. Then I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and that's absolutely frayed my nerves (I hate things in my mouth, so the stitches are driving me up the wall), so I haven't been able to concentrate on anything much. And I've got the other half of my mouth still waiting o_O So I'll try to gather myself and resume translating, but yeah, that's why I fell off the end of the world as of late.

== Synopsis ==

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Catholic school for girls, and can be considered character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain. At Lillian Girls' School, there is a tradition known as the sœur system (sœur being French for "sister"), in which a second, or third-year student, the grande sœur ("big sister"), will give her rosary to a junior student, the petite sœur ("little sister"), and promise to look after them and guide them.

When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a new first-year student admitted to Lillian, is praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniform ribbon. This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch. After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayurikai — the student council of the school. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become her petite sœur.

This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayurikai where she assists them in school matters at the same level as the other two petite sœurs — Yoshino Shimazu, and Shimako Tōdō — who are the petite sœurs of Rei Hasekura, and Sei Satō respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayurikai, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable.

'''Warning:''' Suffice it to say, this series is considered yuri, having various mentions of lesbian relationships. They are not, however, particularly graphic. If you find this sort of topic offensive, look away.

**Wao, it has been a while. Sorry for the rather short chapter as I try to get back into the swing of things. (if that's the right phrase O_O) Volume 5 Chapter 4 Part 3 added.
*January 2, 2009
**Happy New Years everyone! As I said in my previous update, my dissertation's due in 5 days, but I'll be sending it to the printer for getting bound in 3 days. Which means I'm almost relatively free (I've got another 30-50 page short story due on the 15th but that one should be smoother sailing... and an exam on the 17th or so but whatever!)... sorry for keeping you all waiting, I'm still here, and I haven't forgotten, just been a rather painful semester :( *Should* get back to work in about a week, at the very least in just over two weeks when my exam finishes. I'm just not able to multitask that well, so translating got the short end of the stick with the writing assignments, sorry.
*November 22, 2008
**Dissertation term sucks T_T It's due January 7th, so after that point I live a slightly less pressure-filled life, but until then I can't really promise anything, sorry to leave everyone hanging >_<
*November 9, 2008

*September 3, 2008
**Well I posted this in my profile page but I figured (belatedly) I should mention it here, because I'm sure most people don't bother to check that. I was sick (apparently with a really bad allergic reaction to some sort of combination of grass and fungus and trees) for about three weeks, which delayed me after August 23. Still managed to squeeze a chapter out three days later, because that's around when my medication kicked in. Then I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and that's absolutely frayed my nerves (I hate things in my mouth, so the stitches are driving me up the wall), so I haven't been able to concentrate on anything much. And I've got the other half of my mouth still waiting o_O So I'll try to gather myself and resume translating, but yeah, that's why I fell off the end of the world as of late.
*August 26, 2008
**Volume 5 Chapter 2 Part 1 added.
*August 23, 2008
**Volume 5 Chapter 1 Part 3 and Part 4 added.
*August 22, 2008

Maria-sama ga Miteru

[[Image:MM_v01_cover.jpg|200px|thumb|MariMite volume 1 cover.]]

== Synopsis ==

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Catholic school for girls, and can be considered character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain. At Lillian Girls' School, there is a tradition known as the sœur system (sœur being French for "sister"), in which a second, or third-year student, the grande sœur ("big sister"), will give her rosary to a junior student, the petite sœur ("little sister"), and promise to look after them and guide them.

When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a new first-year student admitted to Lillian, is praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniform ribbon. This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch. After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayurikai — the student council of the school. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become her petite sœur.

This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayurikai where she assists them in school matters at the same level as the other two petite sœurs — Yoshino Shimazu, and Shimako Tōdō — who are the petite sœurs of Rei Hasekura, and Sei Satō respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayurikai, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable.

'''Warning:''' Suffice it to say, this series is considered yuri, having various mentions of lesbian relationships. They are not, however, particularly graphic. If you find this sort of topic offensive, look away.

*January 2, 2009
**Happy New Years everyone! As I said in my previous update, my dissertation's due in 5 days, but I'll be sending it to the printer for getting bound in 3 days. Which means I'm almost relatively free (I've got another 30-50 page short story due on the 15th but that one should be smoother sailing... and an exam on the 17th or so but whatever!)... sorry for keeping you all waiting, I'm still here, and I haven't forgotten, just been a rather painful semester :( *Should* get back to work in about a week, at the very least in just over two weeks when my exam finishes. I'm just not able to multitask that well, so translating got the short end of the stick with the writing assignments, sorry.
*November 22, 2008

**Well I posted this in my profile page but I figured (belatedly) I should mention it here, because I'm sure most people don't bother to check that. I was sick (apparently with a really bad allergic reaction to some sort of combination of grass and fungus and trees) for about three weeks, which delayed me after August 23. Still managed to squeeze a chapter out three days later, because that's around when my medication kicked in. Then I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and that's absolutely frayed my nerves (I hate things in my mouth, so the stitches are driving me up the wall), so I haven't been able to concentrate on anything much. And I've got the other half of my mouth still waiting o_O So I'll try to gather myself and resume translating, but yeah, that's why I fell off the end of the world as of late.
*August 26, 2008
**Volume 5 Chapter 2 Part 1 added.
*August 23, 2008
**Volume 5 Chapter 1 Part 3 and Part 4 added.

Seki:

== Best Wishes! ==

Dear Seki,

didn't notice you were sick, until i saw the "get well" comments.

also noticed you had your wisdom tooth pulled.

ouch! That'll sting. hate dentist surgery! D:

anyway, hope you get well soon!

best regards,

[[User:Onizuka-gto|Onizuka-GTO]] 19:34, 4 September 2008 (PDT)

Sorry to read you were hit with a bad illness, Seki. Wasn't sure how else to reach you, so this post will have to do.
Take care and get well soon. And thanks for your work on Mara-sama ga Miteru. It's been a joy to read.

-Hoodedzippy

ps: feel free to delete this message afterward, I'm not very tech savvy so pardon me if I should not have done this!

== Rawr ==

Thanks~ right side of my mouth still hurts but oh well -_-; Hopefully back in business.

== How's it been going lately? ==

Just wanted to know how everything is going.
Best of wishes, Seph

== Guilt-ridden existence ==

Been on-and-off with sickness, just turned in an essay, dissertation rough due in 2 weeks, I actually have time to translate, but I've kinda been..... well, slacking. I should shoot myself.

Ahh I see, I'm sick a bit myself, still isn't winter and I have caught a cold. Anyway just take care of yourself, and update once in a while when you feel like to do it ;).

-Seph

==
Hope you're doing okay, Seki. Miss your translations but also understand that you've got a lot going on. Hope to see you back soon but regardless, Take care!

-Hoodedzippy

== 2009 ==

Happy New Year!

Weee is great that you're back in the game!

== People who want to poke me ==

Just change this little space around.

Vol 5 chp 5 part 6
''Yumi felt like she was eccentric for digging through dirt, but Yoshino-san's checking under the tatami was fanatical. –There are always people greater than you, she reaffirmed herself.''

While this makes sense, wouldn't it sound better if the word Greater was replaced by Stranger?

''Yumi felt like she was eccentric for digging through dirt, but Yoshino-san's checking under the tatami was fanatical:– There are always people stranger than you, she reaffirmed herself.''

I haven't changed this, as it's a purely personal opinion, not an error.

Also you should use either the fullstop after ''fanatical'' or the hyphen before ''There'', not both. The hyphen implies a continuance of the previous sentence, but the fullstop shows that there isn't one. What you really need is a colon (as seen in the second version of the sentence.)
JBV^_^

I'm horrible with ; and : so I tend to just do the Japanese thing of going with commas... so my use of punctuation is always open to correction :)

In regard to the first part, she's referring to the "there's always bigger fish" phrase... a rather, vague? I guess you'd call it? phrase that's not necessarily about their eccentricity. That's why I picked "greater." But there's no necessity to keep wording, because things change between languages, so if you think "stranger" would simply be a better fit, go for it.

This may help you^_^ [http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_overvw.html Punctuation]

[[Image:MM_v01_cover.jpg|200px|thumb|MariMite volume 1 cover.]]

== Synopsis ==

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Catholic school for girls, and can be considered character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain. At Lillian Girls' School, there is a tradition known as the sœur system (sœur being French for "sister"), in which a second, or third-year student, the grande sœur ("big sister"), will give her rosary to a junior student, the petite sœur ("little sister"), and promise to look after them and guide them.

When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a new first-year student admitted to Lillian, is praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniform ribbon. This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch. After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayurikai — the student council of the school. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become her petite sœur.

This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayurikai where she assists them in school matters at the same level as the other two petite sœurs — Yoshino Shimazu, and Shimako Tōdō — who are the petite sœurs of Rei Hasekura, and Sei Satō respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayurikai, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable.

**Happy New Years everyone! As I said in my previous update, my dissertation's due in 5 days, but I'll be sending it to the printer for getting bound in 3 days. Which means I'm almost relatively free (I've got another 30-50 page short story due on the 15th but that one should be smoother sailing... and an exam on the 17th or so but whatever!)... sorry for keeping you all waiting, I'm still here, and I haven't forgotten, just been a rather painful semester :( *Should* get back to work in about a week, at the very least in just over two weeks when my exam finishes. I'm just not able to multitask that well, so translating got the short end of the stick with the writing assignments, sorry.

**Well I posted this in my profile page but I figured (belatedly) I should mention it here, because I'm sure most people don't bother to check that. I was sick (apparently with a really bad allergic reaction to some sort of combination of grass and fungus and trees) for about three weeks, which delayed me after August 23. Still managed to squeeze a chapter out three days later, because that's around when my medication kicked in. Then I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and that's absolutely frayed my nerves (I hate things in my mouth, so the stitches are driving me up the wall), so I haven't been able to concentrate on anything much. And I've got the other half of my mouth still waiting o_O So I'll try to gather myself and resume translating, but yeah, that's why I fell off the end of the world as of late.

Maria-sama ga Miteru:Volume5 Chapter5 10

Seki: forgot the picture

===<noinclude>St. Valentine's prank. </noinclude>Part 10.===

"Thanks for waiting…"

Yumi found Sachiko-sama sitting alone at the second-floor room's table reading a book.

"Oh, Yumi."

She raised her head and smiled softly. Ahh, what a wonderful smile, Yumi thought. If she could, she'd freeze time so she could stare at it forever. It was that wonderful.

"Did you have something to talk about?"

Sachiko-sama closed her book and stood up from her chair. Yumi, in turn, rushed toward her, and they ended up standing across from each other, the table between them.

"Yes, um. I have something to give you…"

As she spoke, Yumi reached into her bag.

"What is it? I do hope it's not the rosary."

"R, rosary!?"

"I'm glad I'm wrong."

Sachiko-sama smiled at Yumi's startled reaction. She was just teasing her. Sachiko-sama was becoming more and more like the Roses.

But Yumi would prefer it if Sachiko-sama toned down on such heart-stopping words. Her heart was already racing as she tried to maintain composure in front of her onee-sama.

"Though, come to think of it, I would never have chosen someone to be my sister if they'd return the rosary after such a trite happening."

With that mumble, Sachiko-sama tossed her straight hair over her shoulder.
"Uhh."

A prickle.

The cynicism stabbed at her, like one of Rosa Gigantea's specialties. Truth be told, Sachiko-sama described it as "a trite happening," but Yumi felt she'd tossed and turned over it. Of course, returning the rosary had never even remotely crossed her mind, but she did panic over what she'd do if Sachiko-sama had asked, "Can you give it back?" Because she felt like she wasn't living up to onee-sama's expectations.

"When I was a first-year, I felt like the current Rosa Chinensis saw through me all the time."

Like God himself. –Sachiko-sama glanced around the room, like she was looking for bits of nostalgia from a year ago.

"But then. I don't really know what you're thinking. I guess that made me lose confidence."

As she spoke, Sachiko-sama seemed to be sorting through her thoughts.

"I may have been too harsh yesterday…"

"Not at all."

Replied Yumi, but she silently felt it was pretty harsh. Sachiko-sama's voice was already so clear and powerful that it was ominous (?) on its own, so if she put any degree of extra power behind it, it'd become extremely overwhelming.

"That was because it felt like you were avoiding me, so I started to panic. But I must have misunderstood things?"

"Yes. Umm, that's-"

Now! thought Yumi as she took a box from her bag and held it out.

"What's this?"

"Chocolate. I tried making it with Rei-sama's advice. I wanted to keep it a secret from onee-sama, and that's why I was sneaking about. So of course onee-sama would feel like I was avoiding you. I'm so bad at arranging things properly, but I still ran around feeling excited on my own. I didn't even think about stopping to wonder what onee-sama would feel about it. And when you asked, I couldn't even explain it…"

"… Yumi."

"I know. I know onee-sama doesn't like Valentine's chocolate. But I wanted to show my gratitude anyways, so…"

"Yumi!"

With a harsher tone, Sachiko-sama cut her off.

"… When did I ever say I don't like it?"

"Huh?"

"Really, you're always lacking on words, and yet when you begin talking, it's like the floodgates have been opened. I don't understand you, after all."

"Umm…"

"I'm irritated by everyone using me as a way of letting out their desire to send Valentine's Chocolate to someone."

"Uh…"

"So, if you made it for me, of course I'll accept it, happily. Isn't that obvious?"

Sachiko-sama placed a hand on Yumi's box.

"May I?"

Yes, began Yumi, before she stopped, realizing that the box was, for some reason, brown.

"W, wait, no. Give it back, onee-sama."

She tried to pull the box back. But Sachiko-sama was gripping it tightly.

"It's unsightly to wish a gift be returned."

"That's not it."

The box Sachiko-sama was gripping with five fingers, that was the box Yumi intended to give to Rosa Gigantea. Even though they were all Yumi's handmade chocolate truffles, and they all used to same ingredients, they tasted wildly different. She'd forgotten she'd taken it back from Rosa Gigantea, so she'd assumed the box she'd touched in her bag was the ivory one.

"Let go, Yumi."

"Onee-sama, umm, actually this one-"

When Yumi pulled out the other box from her bag, in an unnatural posture, it happened.

First, the brown box neither was letting go of exploded (or so it seemed).

Then, the ivory box Yumi was holding out exploded (or so it seemed).

[[Image:MM_v05_10.jpg|thumb]]
And the next moment, black, circular bullets (or things that looked like them, anyways) fell and scattered on the table.

"Ah—"

As a result of the two of them pulling on the box with all their might, the chocolate inside fell out. That was what happened. As for the second box, Sachiko-sama lost her balance when the first one ripped, so she grabbed hold of that box, and it went the way of the first box.

However.

The one fortunate thing was that neither of them had chocolate rain onto their head. Even if they were the size of dried plums, they were still chocolate – being hit by them would hurt.

The two of them stared, stunned, at the chocolate rolling about on the table, as well as some that had rolled off it.

"… What performance is this?"

Eventually Sachiko-sama laughed.

"Yes. Surprise chocolate."

"Surprise chocolate?"

"Some really bad chocolate is mixed in. That's the surprise."

"How foolish."

Sachiko-sama didn't seem to take her seriously, laughing and then plucking one off the table and tossing it into her mouth.

"Ah!"

It happened too quickly to stop.

"Don't worry, it was on the table."

"Umm.'

Well, Sachiko-sama eating something that had fallen was a surprise, but Yumi was more terrified and curious about which sort of chocolate Sachiko-sama had found.

"… How is it?"

Yumi fearfully asked.

Sachiko-sama closed her eyes, rolled the chocolate around in her mouth for a bit, then opened her eyes and answered.

"Delicious."

Phew, Yumi sighed, relieved.

"Thank goodness. That was a hit, then."

Even Yumi, who'd made them, would have to look very carefully to distinguish between the two batches of chocolate.

It was 50-50. How like Sachiko-sama. Luck was on her side.

To make sure Sachiko-sama wouldn't choose a miss chocolate, Yumi quickly picked up the ones left on the table. And as she picked them up, she quickly, but carefully, looked at them and sorted them. If Sachiko-sama wanted to eat another one, she'd be able to pick up one of the relatively better-looking ones.

There was twenty chocolate in all, and fifteen had remained on the table.

"What happens for winning?"

"Umm."

Shoot, she hadn't thought about that. –Or rather, she'd just named it "Surprise Chocolate" out of whim. But hit and miss was like a lottery. And lotteries come with prizes.

As she went on her knees to pick up the chocolate on the ground, she thought about it. Technically the delicious chocolate was the prize, but she didn't think of that.

The remaining chocolate had rolled under the seat, or behind the doors, or other such random places. They cleaned the room almost daily, but that didn't prevent the rolling chocolate from losing its chocolate powder somewhere and picking up sand and dust. It hardly resembled what it used to be – in fact it almost looked like a sesame-sprinkled dango from a collection of Japanese confectionary.

She blew on the chocolate to clean it. Of course, there was no thought of eating it, but she wanted to know if it was a hit or miss, to keep track of numbers.

She found three somewhat easily, but she couldn't find the last one. Right now, there were nine hits and nine misses. Sachiko-sama had eaten a hit, so there was one miss somewhere.

Yumi looked at the table again, just to make sure.

And that's where she found the last one. In the corner of the box that'd been tragically torn rested, miraculously, one truffle.

"Onee-sama."

Yumi plucked it out of the box, marveling at it, and said.

"A hit comes with a half-day date with me-"

The last one, for some reason, had come out of the "hit" box.

"W, wait, no. Give it back, onee-sama."

She tried to pull the box back. But Sachiko-sama was gripping it tightly.

"It's unsightly to wish a gift be returned."

"That's not it."

The box Sachiko-sama was gripping with five fingers, that was the box Yumi intended to give to Rosa Gigantea. Even though they were all Yumi's handmade chocolate truffles, and they all used to same ingredients, they tasted wildly different. She'd forgotten she'd taken it back from Rosa Gigantea, so she'd assumed the box she'd touched in her bag was the ivory one.

"Let go, Yumi."

"Onee-sama, umm, actually this one-"

When Yumi pulled out the other box from her bag, in an unnatural posture, it happened.

First, the brown box neither was letting go of exploded (or so it seemed).

Then, the ivory box Yumi was holding out exploded (or so it seemed).

And the next moment, black, circular bullets (or things that looked like them, anyways) fell and scattered on the table.

"Ah—"

As a result of the two of them pulling on the box with all their might, the chocolate inside fell out. That was what happened. As for the second box, Sachiko-sama lost her balance when the first one ripped, so she grabbed hold of that box, and it went the way of the first box.

However.

The one fortunate thing was that neither of them had chocolate rain onto their head. Even if they were the size of dried plums, they were still chocolate – being hit by them would hurt.

The two of them stared, stunned, at the chocolate rolling about on the table, as well as some that had rolled off it.

"… What performance is this?"

Eventually Sachiko-sama laughed.

"Yes. Surprise chocolate."

"Surprise chocolate?"

<IMG SRC=05_011.jpg>

"Some really bad chocolate is mixed in. That's the surprise."

"How foolish."

Sachiko-sama didn't seem to take her seriously, laughing and then plucking one off the table and tossing it into her mouth.

"Ah!"

It happened too quickly to stop.

"Don't worry, it was on the table."

"Umm.'

Well, Sachiko-sama eating something that had fallen was a surprise, but Yumi was more terrified and curious about which sort of chocolate Sachiko-sama had found.

"… How is it?"

Yumi fearfully asked.

Sachiko-sama closed her eyes, rolled the chocolate around in her mouth for a bit, then opened her eyes and answered.

"Delicious."

Phew, Yumi sighed, relieved.

"Thank goodness. That was a hit, then."

Even Yumi, who'd made them, would have to look very carefully to distinguish between the two batches of chocolate.

It was 50-50. How like Sachiko-sama. Luck was on her side.

To make sure Sachiko-sama wouldn't choose a miss chocolate, Yumi quickly picked up the ones left on the table. And as she picked them up, she quickly, but carefully, looked at them and sorted them. If Sachiko-sama wanted to eat another one, she'd be able to pick up one of the relatively better-looking ones.

There was twenty chocolate in all, and fifteen had remained on the table.

"What happens for winning?"

"Umm."

Shoot, she hadn't thought about that. –Or rather, she'd just named it "Surprise Chocolate" out of whim. But hit and miss was like a lottery. And lotteries come with prizes.

As she went on her knees to pick up the chocolate on the ground, she thought about it. Technically the delicious chocolate was the prize, but she didn't think of that.

The remaining chocolate had rolled under the seat, or behind the doors, or other such random places. They cleaned the room almost daily, but that didn't prevent the rolling chocolate from losing its chocolate powder somewhere and picking up sand and dust. It hardly resembled what it used to be – in fact it almost looked like a sesame-sprinkled dango from a collection of Japanese confectionary.

She blew on the chocolate to clean it. Of course, there was no thought of eating it, but she wanted to know if it was a hit or miss, to keep track of numbers.

She found three somewhat easily, but she couldn't find the last one. Right now, there were nine hits and nine misses. Sachiko-sama had eaten a hit, so there was one miss somewhere.

Yumi looked at the table again, just to make sure.

And that's where she found the last one. In the corner of the box that'd been tragically torn rested, miraculously, one truffle.

"Onee-sama."

Yumi plucked it out of the box, marveling at it, and said.

"A hit comes with a half-day date with me-"

The last one, for some reason, had come out of the "hit" box.

Maria-sama ga Miteru

== Synopsis ==

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Catholic school for girls, and can be considered character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain. At Lillian Girls' School, there is a tradition known as the sœur system (sœur being French for "sister"), in which a second, or third-year student, the grande sœur ("big sister"), will give her rosary to a junior student, the petite sœur ("little sister"), and promise to look after them and guide them.

When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a new first-year student admitted to Lillian, is praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniform ribbon. This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch. After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayurikai — the student council of the school. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become her petite sœur.

This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayurikai where she assists them in school matters at the same level as the other two petite sœurs — Yoshino Shimazu, and Shimako Tōdō — who are the petite sœurs of Rei Hasekura, and Sei Satō respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayurikai, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable.

'''Warning:''' Suffice it to say, this series is considered yuri, having various mentions of lesbian relationships. They are not, however, particularly graphic. If you find this sort of topic offensive, look away.

**Happy New Years everyone! As I said in my previous update, my dissertation's due in 5 days, but I'll be sending it to the printer for getting bound in 3 days. Which means I'm almost relatively free (I've got another 30-50 page short story due on the 15th but that one should be smoother sailing... and an exam on the 17th or so but whatever!)... sorry for keeping you all waiting, I'm still here, and I haven't forgotten, just been a rather painful semester :( *Should* get back to work in about a week, at the very least in just over two weeks when my exam finishes. I'm just not able to multitask that well, so translating got the short end of the stick with the writing assignments, sorry.
*November 22, 2008

**Well I posted this in my profile page but I figured (belatedly) I should mention it here, because I'm sure most people don't bother to check that. I was sick (apparently with a really bad allergic reaction to some sort of combination of grass and fungus and trees) for about three weeks, which delayed me after August 23. Still managed to squeeze a chapter out three days later, because that's around when my medication kicked in. Then I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and that's absolutely frayed my nerves (I hate things in my mouth, so the stitches are driving me up the wall), so I haven't been able to concentrate on anything much. And I've got the other half of my mouth still waiting o_O So I'll try to gather myself and resume translating, but yeah, that's why I fell off the end of the world as of late.

Incidentally, I'm not really looking for another translator, at least not for the time being. Call it selfish, or arrogant, or whatever, but I'm relatively confident at this point that I can power through all of MariMite by myself, which would keep the style the same, throughout.

===<noinclude>St. Valentine's prank. </noinclude>Part 9.===

When they'd arrived at the school buildings, they found themselves a part of a pack of students that dwindled as they split off in ones and twos to retrieve their belongings from their classrooms. In the end, only Minako-sama, Sachiko-sama, and Yumi remained.

Yumi actually needed to have gone to her own classroom to get her bag, her coat, and the important chocolate, but she'd ended up following Sachiko-sama.

"Umm, I'll be right back. Could you wait for me at the Mansion? I'll be really fast."

"Of course. No need to hurry."

With Sachiko-sama's permission, she went straight to her classroom. It was usually lonesome in the school buildings after school, but because there were so many who'd stayed behind for the treasure hunt, lights were on everywhere, and so it wasn't that bad.

The lights in the first-year peach class were on, too.

Yumi walked in, expecting Tsutako-san, but she found Shimako-san instead. She turned around in surprise and froze.

"I'm sorry, I surprised you again."

"… Indeed. Yumi-san, you surprised me so much this morning, too. –Yes, this morning…"

Shimako-san ran to Yumi and asked, "Do you know anything about it?"

"W, what?"

"A pink- nevermind."

She started, and then stopped herself.

"Yumi-san wouldn't know, I'm sorry."

"What do you mean?"

"Don't worry about it."

She looked gloomy as she turned her back to Yumi and closed her locker.

"Are you looking for something?"

"Yes… I am."

But she wasn't expounding. She drifted to her desk, double-checked that there was nothing hanging off the hook at its side, and sighed.

"Shimako-san, where's your bag? Is it at the Rose Mansion?"

"… Rose Mansion. Yes, it must be the Rose Mansion. That's the only place it can be."

She'd probably left it there herself, but Shimako-san only vaguely confirmed where her bag was.

"The treasure hunt was quite the event wasn't it?"

"… Yes."

"Sachiko-sama's card is being raffled. Of course, without the dating ticket. Maybe I'll throw my name in."

"Is that so."

"Still, I was surprised by Shizuka-sama."

"Huh? … Oh, yes, a surprise."

Yumi gave up talking to Shimako-sama. She'd tried raising topics since they'd left the classroom, but Shimako-san was completely out of it.

Furthermore she was mumbling to herself, "I was so careless," every now and then. She figured she'd only get another absent-minded answer, but Yumi asked anyways. "What were you careless about?" But she received an unexpectedly clear answer.

"I didn't think that was part of the treasure hunt."

"That?"

"The first-floor storage room. For some reason I thought it was out of bounds. So I-"

She answered, but she was still being unclear. Still, Yumi tried to figure things out with what little information she had.

"So Shimako-san is looking for something that was placed in that room? And so you're panicking because it wasn't there?"

"Yes."

"Mmm."

And that's why she was at the classroom. Because she hoped she might have remembered wrongly. Something that should be somewhere wasn't, so maybe it would be where it wasn't supposed to be. Today was a mysterious day like that. Maybe it was Valentine's prank.

"But, even if they'd gone there for the treasure hunt, they wouldn't take someone else's stuff, would they?"

"I'd like to think so…"

But there was no name on it, and it looked ambiguous… Shimako-san went off mumbling things like she was hosting a quiz show. And then they arrived at the Rose Mansion.

"Wow, Yumi-chan."

The moment they opened the door, Rosa Gigantea jumped out and latched onto Yumi, like she'd been lying in ambush.

"W, wait a second."

She was so clueless!

How could she go hugging with Shimako-san watching? Well, not that it was any better when Shimako-san wasn't watching…

"I held myself because there were too many people before. So I was waiting to thank Yumi-chan for chocolate."

"Chocolate?"

Shimako-san tilted her head.

"Yumi-san, did you give onee-sama chocolate?"

"Huh? No."

She hadn't had the composure to do so today. She was still needing to hand the chocolate to Sachiko-sama, so she'd never even thought of tracking down Rosa Gigantea.

"Come come, stop kidding. Shizuka just gave me chocolate directly, so it must have been Yumi-chan."

She wondered if this was a new way of begging. Was Rosa Gigantea that desperate for chocolate?

"Here."

Yumi took a box from her bag and gave it to Rosa Gigantea.

Well, if she was being begged, she was somewhat forced to comply.

Even though it was the brown box with ten really bad chocolate truffles. She was ecstatic over receiving chocolate from Shizuka-sama so it wasn't Yumi's care, though. It wasn't good, but it wasn't toxic, so she wouldn't upset her stomach over them.

"Shimako-san, this is courtesy chocolate, so don't mind it."

"Y… yes."

As she nodded, Shimako-san looked confused. But Rosa Gigantea, who'd accepted the chocolate…

Looked even more confused.

"… Wait, so it wasn't Yumi-chan?"

"Huh?"

"Uh oh, I ate it. Because I thought it was from Yumi-chan."

Now Rosa Gigantea began blubbering inexplicably.

"Yumi-chan pointed with her eyes, and it totally looked like it was meant for me."

That's when Yumi realized it. Shimako-san probably realized it, too. But she wasn't saying anything, so Yumi spoke up for her.

"Was that wrapped in pink wrapping paper?"

"It wasn't pink wrapping paper, it was a pink paper bag. With a white rose pattern."

Meant for her because of the white rose pattern… that might be a thought process Rosa Gigantea would have to revise. Because there were plenty of things with white rose patterns in the world. Of course in this case it was fortunate it really was meant for her.

"Was it good?"

"Yep. It looked like a beginner made it, and it was a bit deformed. But it was a really good marble cake. Wait, why?"

Was it Yumi-chan after all? Rosa Gigantea seemed to wonder, and that's when Yumi plucked the box of truffles out of Rosa Gigantea's hand.

"Ah, why?"

"You shouldn't eat something this agonizing after eating something that good."

Then, saying, "Congratulations," to a blushing Shimako-san, Yumi left, rhythmically climbing the stairs.

She probably deduced correctly. That "really good marble cake" was what Shimako-san was looking for.

She climbed the stairs.

Sachiko-sama was waiting on the second floor.

anyway, hope you get well soon!

best regards,

[[User:Onizuka-gto|Onizuka-GTO]] 19:34, 4 September 2008 (PDT)

Sorry to read you were hit with a bad illness, Seki. Wasn't sure how else to reach you, so this post will have to do.
Take care and get well soon. And thanks for your work on Mara-sama ga Miteru. It's been a joy to read.

-Hoodedzippy

ps: feel free to delete this message afterward, I'm not very tech savvy so pardon me if I should not have done this!

== Rawr ==

Thanks~ right side of my mouth still hurts but oh well -_-; Hopefully back in business.

== How's it been going lately? ==

Just wanted to know how everything is going.
Best of wishes, Seph

== Guilt-ridden existence ==

Been on-and-off with sickness, just turned in an essay, dissertation rough due in 2 weeks, I actually have time to translate, but I've kinda been..... well, slacking. I should shoot myself.

Ahh I see, I'm sick a bit myself, still isn't winter and I have caught a cold. Anyway just take care of yourself, and update once in a while when you feel like to do it ;).

-Seph

Hope you're doing okay, Seki. Miss your translations but also understand that you've got a lot going on. Hope to see you back soon but regardless, Take care!

-Hoodedzippy

Happy New Year!

Weee is great that you're back in the game!

Just change this little space around.

Rawr, no abuse please T_T

''Yumi felt like she was eccentric for digging through dirt, but Yoshino-san's checking under the tatami was fanatical. –There are always people greater than you, she reaffirmed herself.''

While this makes sense, wouldn't it sound better if the word Greater was replaced by Stranger?

''Yumi felt like she was eccentric for digging through dirt, but Yoshino-san's checking under the tatami was fanatical:– There are always people stranger than you, she reaffirmed herself.''

I haven't changed this, as it's a purely personal opinion, not an error.

Also you should use either the fullstop after ''fanatical'' or the hyphen before ''There'', not both. The hyphen implies a continuance of the previous sentence, but the fullstop shows that there isn't one. What you really need is a colon (as seen in the second version of the sentence.)
JBV^_^

I'm horrible with ; and : so I tend to just do the Japanese thing of going with commas... so my use of punctuation is always open to correction :)

In regard to the first part, she's referring to the "there's always bigger fish" phrase... a rather, vague? I guess you'd call it? phrase that's not necessarily about their eccentricity. That's why I picked "greater." But there's no necessity to keep wording, because things change between languages, so if you think "stranger" would simply be a better fit, go for it.

Seki: tenses are important, yes.

===<noinclude>St. Valentine's prank. </noinclude>Part 8.===

"We'd promised to meet at the greenhouse. Shall we talk now?"

Sachiko-sama asked Yumi as she was about to step out. They were the last ones left.

"Not yet!"

Yumi strongly shook her head. Because she didn't have the chocolate with her. Valentine's Day was to present chocolate, so it would all be pointless empty-handed.

"Okay. Then, let's go back to the Rose Mansion. The sun's going down, and it's begun to snow."

She probably couldn't fathom what Yumi was going to do. So with her cold, blunt suggestion, she quickly walked ahead.

Yumi followed Sachiko-sama, who didn't turn around even once.

The dark back lane.

The distance between them never grew smaller, so it felt like a scene Yumi would see in a dream.

Seki: added v5c5p8

[[Image:MM_v01_cover.jpg|200px|thumb|MariMite volume 1 cover.]]

== Synopsis ==

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Catholic school for girls, and can be considered character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain. At Lillian Girls' School, there is a tradition known as the sœur system (sœur being French for "sister"), in which a second, or third-year student, the grande sœur ("big sister"), will give her rosary to a junior student, the petite sœur ("little sister"), and promise to look after them and guide them.

When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a new first-year student admitted to Lillian, is praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniform ribbon. This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch. After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayurikai — the student council of the school. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become her petite sœur.

This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayurikai where she assists them in school matters at the same level as the other two petite sœurs — Yoshino Shimazu, and Shimako Tōdō — who are the petite sœurs of Rei Hasekura, and Sei Satō respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayurikai, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria-sama_ga_Miteru Synopsis from wikipedia.]

I was sick (apparently with a really bad allergic reaction to some sort of combination of grass and fungus and trees) for about three weeks, which delayed me after August 23. Still managed to squeeze a chapter out three days later, because that's around when my medication kicked in. Then I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and that's absolutely frayed my nerves (I hate things in my mouth, so the stitches are driving me up the wall), so I haven't been able to concentrate on anything much. And I've got the other half of my mouth still waiting o_O So I'll try to gather myself and resume translating, but yeah, that's why I fell off the end of the world as of late.

===<noinclude>St. Valentine's prank. </noinclude>Part 8.===

"We'd promise to meet at the greenhouse. Shall we talk now?"

Sachiko-sama asked Yumi as she was about to step out. They were the last ones left.

"Not yet!"

Yumi strongly shook her head. Because she didn't have the chocolate with her. Valentine's Day was to present chocolate, so it would all be pointless empty-handed.

"Okay. Then, let's go back to the Rose Mansion. The sun's going down, and it's begun to snow."

She probably couldn't fathom what Yumi was going to do. So with her cold, blunt suggestion, she quickly walked ahead.

Yumi followed Sachiko-sama, who didn't turn around even once.

The dark back lane.

The distance between them never grew smaller, so it felt like a scene Yumi would see in a dream.

Maria-sama ga Miteru

Seki: /* Volume 5 - Valentine Gift - Part 1/ウァレンティーヌスの贈り物（前編） */

[[Image:MM_v01_cover.jpg|200px|thumb|MariMite volume 1 cover.]]

== Synopsis ==

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Catholic school for girls, and can be considered character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain. At Lillian Girls' School, there is a tradition known as the sœur system (sœur being French for "sister"), in which a second, or third-year student, the grande sœur ("big sister"), will give her rosary to a junior student, the petite sœur ("little sister"), and promise to look after them and guide them.

When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a new first-year student admitted to Lillian, is praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniform ribbon. This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch. After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayurikai — the student council of the school. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become her petite sœur.

This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayurikai where she assists them in school matters at the same level as the other two petite sœurs — Yoshino Shimazu, and Shimako Tōdō — who are the petite sœurs of Rei Hasekura, and Sei Satō respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayurikai, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable.

'''Warning:''' Suffice it to say, this series is considered yuri, having various mentions of lesbian relationships. They are not, however, particularly graphic. If you find this sort of topic offensive, look away.

**Happy New Years everyone! As I said in my previous update, my dissertation's due in 5 days, but I'll be sending it to the printer for getting bound in 3 days. Which means I'm almost relatively free (I've got another 30-50 page short story due on the 15th but that one should be smoother sailing... and an exam on the 17th or so but whatever!)... sorry for keeping you all waiting, I'm still here, and I haven't forgotten, just been a rather painful semester :( *Should* get back to work in about a week, at the very least in just over two weeks when my exam finishes. I'm just not able to multitask that well, so translating got the short end of the stick with the writing assignments, sorry.

**Well I posted this in my profile page but I figured (belatedly) I should mention it here, because I'm sure most people don't bother to check that. I was sick (apparently with a really bad allergic reaction to some sort of combination of grass and fungus and trees) for about three weeks, which delayed me after August 23. Still managed to squeeze a chapter out three days later, because that's around when my medication kicked in. Then I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and that's absolutely frayed my nerves (I hate things in my mouth, so the stitches are driving me up the wall), so I haven't been able to concentrate on anything much. And I've got the other half of my mouth still waiting o_O So I'll try to gather myself and resume translating, but yeah, that's why I fell off the end of the world as of late.

== Synopsis ==

Maria-sama ga Miteru's story revolves around the students of the Lillian Catholic school for girls, and can be considered character-driven, focusing on interactions between the characters rather than any sort of ongoing plot or goal to attain. At Lillian Girls' School, there is a tradition known as the sœur system (sœur being French for "sister"), in which a second, or third-year student, the grande sœur ("big sister"), will give her rosary to a junior student, the petite sœur ("little sister"), and promise to look after them and guide them.

When the story begins, Yumi Fukuzawa, a new first-year student admitted to Lillian, is praying in front of the Virgin Mary statue near the school entrance when she is suddenly approached by a cold second-year student named Sachiko Ogasawara who straightens Yumi's uniform ribbon. This seemingly simple act of kindness stays with Yumi the rest of the day, and she speaks of her meeting with Sachiko to her friends during class and lunch. After school is over, Yumi's classmate Tsutako Takeshima meets with Yumi to show her that she took a photograph of Yumi's meeting with Sachiko earlier that morning. Yumi asks if she can have the photo, but Tsutako says she will give her the snapshot under two conditions: one being that Tsutako can display it at the upcoming school festival, and two being that Yumi get Sachiko's permission to do so as well. Yumi agrees to this, which sets in motion a series of events involving the entire Yamayurikai — the student council of the school. A few weeks after first meeting Sachiko, Yumi accepts Sachiko's rosary and therefore agrees to become her petite sœur.

This officially inducts Yumi into the Yamayurikai where she assists them in school matters at the same level as the other two petite sœurs — Yoshino Shimazu, and Shimako Tōdō — who are the petite sœurs of Rei Hasekura, and Sei Satō respectively. Through her activities in the Yamayurikai, Yumi becomes closer to the other members and generally finds her experiences with the group to be enjoyable.

**Happy New Years everyone! As I said in my previous update, my dissertation's due in 5 days, but I'll be sending it to the printer for getting bound in 3 days. Which means I'm almost relatively free (I've got another 30-50 page short story due on the 15th but that one should be smoother sailing... and an exam on the 17th or so but whatever!)... sorry for keeping you all waiting, I'm still here, and I haven't forgotten, just been a rather painful semester :( *Should* get back to work in about a week, at the very least in just over two weeks when my exam finishes. I'm just not able to multitask that well, so translating got the short end of the stick with the writing assignments, sorry.
*November 22, 2008

**Well I posted this in my profile page but I figured (belatedly) I should mention it here, because I'm sure most people don't bother to check that. I was sick (apparently with a really bad allergic reaction to some sort of combination of grass and fungus and trees) for about three weeks, which delayed me after August 23. Still managed to squeeze a chapter out three days later, because that's around when my medication kicked in. Then I got my wisdom teeth pulled, and that's absolutely frayed my nerves (I hate things in my mouth, so the stitches are driving me up the wall), so I haven't been able to concentrate on anything much. And I've got the other half of my mouth still waiting o_O So I'll try to gather myself and resume translating, but yeah, that's why I fell off the end of the world as of late.

Maria-sama ga Miteru:Volume5 Chapter5 7

===<noinclude>St. Valentine's prank. </noinclude>Part 7.===

Not that it was surprising, but…

Some students stayed in the courtyard after receiving their chocolate because they wanted to know where Sachiko-sama had hidden her card.

Roughly ten people. Some of them had chased Yumi around. Fans of Sachiko-sama, stubborn, disliking defeat, well, et cetera.

Even though Minako-sama told them three times the result would be published in the "Lillian Kawaraban," they stood firm, and so there they were.

"I guess even with the people involved there aren't more than twenty… it's doable."

Minako-sama mumbled to herself, and then turned to the ten.

"Fine. We shall head out to retrieve Rosa Chinensis en bouton's card now. However on the condition that everyone becomes a witness to the location of the card. Understood?"

Of course, they nodded. "Becomes" and "witness" were mesmerizing words, even to Yumi.

In retrospect, everyone might have fallen into Minako-sama's trap. After all, if only those involved retrieved the card, people might wonder if it was actually hidden in the first place. So the third-party witness was desirable.

Minako-sama may have actually wanted everyone. But that'd be too many people, and it'd make travel difficult. So she whittled the number down to Sachiko-sama's fans. She announced the answer would be published in the "Lillian Kawaraban," so everyone who gave up more easily would simply go home.

"Yumi-san, you'll come as well, won't you?"

Invited, Yumi happily answered, "Yes," and joined the crowd of remaining students. The other boutons and sisters didn't. They were probably only interested enough that they'd be satisfied reading the answer later. If the roles were switched around, Yumi felt she'd make the same decision.

"Well, let's go then."

None of them were holding any flags or banners, but it was almost like a tour group. Minako-sama was enthusiastically rounding everyone up. And Sachiko-sama was behind her. Yumi opted to give way to others, staying near the back.

Where did Sachiko-sama hide it?

Yumi excitedly pondered as she walked.

"Sachiko-sama, when did you hide it?"

One of the first-years in front asked Sachiko-sama. Yumi listened carefully, not willing to miss the answer.

"Early this morning. If I went during the break periods someone might see me."

Sachiko-sama had apparently come earlier than normal to hide her card. Of course, she'd already told the newspaper club where she'd be hiding it.

"But I'm a bit stunned no one found my card."

She began asking her fans where they looked. As they answered, they rounded the corner to the back of the school grounds.

(Huh…?)

Something was wrong. Because this was the way Yumi had walked back to the courtyard. And the half-abandoned greenhouse was in front.

The excitement turned into her heart pounding. They were just walking slowly, but her heart raced.

(That can't be. … But… what?)

That, that! She felt like someone excitedly pointing toward something. And amidst her impatience, they arrived at the greenhouse.

"I hid it here."

Sachiko-sama turned around and announced.

"The greenhouse…!"

Half of the students in front of Yumi opened the maps. They probably were wondering if the greenhouse was listed. But it was, neatly in the corner, even if it wasn't especially noticeable. It was well within the boundary line.

"Shall we go in?"

Sachiko-sama held the door open and waited for everyone to enter. She was probably going to direct everyone after everyone was in.

"Um… onee-sama."

And Yumi, being last, hesitantly raised her voice as she passed by.

"What's wrong? You look ill."

Other people might have just assumed Yumi was sick.

"I, I came here. Today. But I couldn't find it…"
"Where did you look?"
"In the soil by the Rosa Chinensis."

And this time Sachiko-sama's complexion changed.

"What-"

Sachiko-sama grabbed Yumi's wrist and dashed past Minako-sama and the fans, bringing Yumi to where the Rosa Chinensis was planted. Everyone looked on in surprise.

"You looked here?"

"Y, yes."

The place Yumi had dug through had the tell-tale sign of blackened, lightly-packed soil.

"What happened?"

Minako-sama caught up, and Sachiko-sama whispered to her what'd transpired.

"Yumi-san, really?"

But Yumi didn't hear what was said, so she couldn't really answer that.

Did you really dig through here? And Yumi nodded.

"But there was nothing here."

"That can't be right, because I hid it here."

Sachiko-sama was about to shriek in hysteria.

"Yumi, did you not dig deep enough?"

"I dug about this deep, but it wasn't there."

Yumi showed "this deep" by spreading her hands out about twenty centimeters.

"You probably just missed."

Clank.

"If I did miss it, I think onee-sama is also at fault for digging it so deep."

"What are you saying? Hiding is for the purpose of being found, I'm not foolish enough to hide it that deeply. I only went this far."

And this time Sachiko-sama showed with her hands about half of Yumi's distance.

"Then, how come I couldn't find a card that shallow?"

At some point, Yumi'd also become defensive. Because she was being honest, but Sachiko-sama didn't believe her.

And then someone poked her in the back and she snapped out of her mood.

"May I request you leave the sister spat for later?"

Minako-sama forced a smile. Sachiko-sama's fans were staring at the two of them with their mouths agape. Well, they did start shouting at each other without any prior warning, so that wasn't too surprising. Plus they were on hand to see Sachiko-sama's "other side," and Yumi herself was quite stunned when she experienced it the first time.

"Why don't we just dig, then we can be sure."

Minako-sama made a splendid suggestion. Sachiko-sama and Yumi were both so angry at each other they'd forgotten that obvious thing.

Yumi took the shovel she'd just used and handed it to Minako-sama. To ensure fairness, the third party was to dig.

"Dig… here?"

"What? Really?"

When Minako-sama began scooping, the students began murmuring.

"I thought I heard digging, did she actually put her card underground?"
Sachiko-sama's fans finally began understanding what was happening.

"But, why there? … Oh!"

The girl with thick eyebrows lightly shouted. People with good intuition are everywhere.

"Is this tree Rosa Chinensis-"

"Yes."

When Sachiko-sama smiled like a flower, Minako-sama said, "Found it."

Yumi and Sachiko-sama, and the people around Sachiko-sama, leaned over to look.

"- But…"

Yumi was the one who mumbled.

She couldn't believe it. A vinyl bag was visible alongside the shovel. And the red card was visible through the clear bag.

"But, it was definitely-"

She knew she just sounded like a sore loser, but she couldn't stop herself.

She couldn't accept that her own memory wasn't correct.

"Pity, Yumi-san."

Minako-sama's eyes were filled with sympathy. Ugh. That was worse, she'd have preferred to be laughed at than be looked at like that.

"I'm not lying. There was another person with me, actually."
"Another person?"

"I think she's a first-year, she was a bit short, had her hair tied in two like me, and she had some scattered hair over her cheeks… she was with me."

"That's a bit lacking…"

The students not in Yumi's class also pondered. She should have asked for her name, but it was too late now.

"Was there really someone with you?"
"Yumi-san, were you dreaming?"

Now she was becoming insecure. Who was she? Was she real?

But her hand remembered. The cold soil. That wasn't a dream nor an image.

"Really. Believe me."

She was on the verge of shouting, like a pouting child, when a hand was placed over her shoulder from behind.

"I believe you."

She slowly turned around. Not that she needed to. Because she knew the feel of that hand and the voice of that person.

"Onee-sama…"

"Because you're being that persistent. It must have truly not been there earlier."

And along with her kind expression, Sachiko-sama nodded. Yumi lost any will to argue further.

She only wanted one person to believe her. So as long as Sachiko-sama believed her, nothing else mattered.

"Kya!"

Suddenly a flash illuminated the darkening greenhouse.

"Sorry. It looks like I surprised everyone."

Tsutako-sama was standing among the crowd – when did she come in?

"But it was a great scene."

And then with an, "Excuse me please," she stepped forward, shooed Minako-sama away, and walked to the hole.

"I'll be taking photographic evidence."

Snap snap, she was taking pictures from different angles. And then, satisfied, she turned around and took pictures of the audience. Minako-sama was hoping there would be some good pictures for the newspaper, so she let the photography ace do as she pleased.

"Hmm?"

Tsutako-san was about to walk away when she froze, then pondered.

"Yumi-san, can I borrow your student notebook?"

"What?"
"Come come, quickly, I need two."

Tsutako-san took her own and Yumi's and walked back to the hole.

"What're you doing?"

This time Minako-sama piped in.

"The student notebook is about ten centimeters on its long end. So when I'm taking photos of small things, I put my notebook next to it for comparison."

Like what professionals often do with cigarette boxes.

"Anyways, my point was the depth of the hole."

Tsutako-san put her notebook on the bottom of the hole. Her notebook was far from reaching the top.

"And one more."

This time, she put Yumi's notebook on top of hers. A bit of Yumi's notebook poked out.

"Seventeen centimeters, maybe eighteen. This refutes Sachiko-sama. And I assume you won't change your statement."

"I will not. Because I don't recall digging that deeply."

Sachiko-sama smiled. Ah, rather than stubbornly refute it, she smiled.

"Then what's going on?"

The card Sachiko-sama buried. When Yumi dug through, it wasn't there. And when it re-appeared, it was much deeper than where Sachiko-sama had buried it.

Like the card had moved around to prevent itself from being found. A mysterious happening.

"Who knows?"

Sachiko-sama laughed.

"Saint Valentine's prank-"

Sachiko-sama raised the vinyl bag out of the ground and handed it to Minako-sama.

"Rather than trying to find the truth, shall we just leave it at that?"

Everyone became silent at those words, like God had just come down from the skies.

That was best.

Yumi thought. Because today was the lovely Valentine's Day.

There shouldn't be anything wrong with a miracle happening.

When she glanced outside, thinking it was becoming cold, she noticed white fluff was falling from the heavens.

''Yumi-san, where did you look?'' Is this a mis-print in the book or just an error during translation?

Changed this to Yoshino, since she a: shook off '''Rei's''' fans and b: went to the library.

Yeah brainfart. Their names both start with the same latter.

Incidentally my forum account got randomly deactivated so just keep pinging me http://www.baka-tsuki.net/project/index.php?title=User_talk:Seki It sends me an email every time that page gets changed. I'll just keep erasing previous notices so it doesn't take up that much space.
