01 - Hayate, Kitaku
01 - Hayate, Returning Home

Hayate: I guess it was the same as usual morning, I stayed over at a friend's house and was driven back to my home.
I feel great.
Signum: Thank for your hard work, Master Hayate.
Hayate: To be thanked for 'my hard work' for staying at a friend's place. Signum, did you have any problems while I was gone last night?
Signum: No, not a thing. We happily ate dinner too.
Hayate: That's good.
Shamal: I've sent Noel safely back.
Hayate: Thank you Shamal. Oh, where's Viita and Zafira?
Signum: They're with the neighbourhood association. They said they'll be home by evening.
Hayate: I see.
Shamal: Viita's very popular amongst the grannies and grampies of the neighbourhood association.
Hayate: It was truly, a normal morning. Huh, Yami no sho is...
Shamal: Why is it rushing around like that?
Signum: It still isn't activated. Seems to be in stand-by mode like before.
Hayate: I guess it's been awhile since I left it's side. Perhaps it was lonely. Come over here Yami no sho. What a good child... There, there.
Shamal: It seems like it has gotten really fond of Hayate.
Hayate: It's never acted like this with the other masters?
Signum: No, at least according to our memory.
Hayate: Oh, that tickles.
Shamal: Well, it's good that your getting along.
Hayate: Yup. There, there. Good girl.
I, Yagami Hayate, am a normal third grade girl. The only difference between me and other people is that I am currently using a wheelchair due to a disease. And due to the circumstances I'm taking a break from school. Oh and this child is the powerful other worldly Yaten no Madou Sho (Magic Book of the Night Sky) I inherited. In other words, I am the master (owner) of Yami no Sho. (badly translated in some places)
Sorry about that Yami no Sho, leaving you all alone. I would have liked to bring you along with me but when Suzuka-chan came over, you weren't on the bookshelf. You shouldn't be out and about too much either, Yami no sho.
Yami no sho had drained a great many mages of their magic and gathers them to fill it's pages as a source of power. An extremely powerful storage device. The way it goes about gathering it's power though is very rough though, so I haven't given it permission to go gather. So right now, this child is a completely blank (white page) book. Well, it floats here and there, and such though. Hey you can't do that.
Shamal: It acts just like a pet now.
Signum: Well, that's not such a bad thing.
Hayate: And the Yami no Sho guardian knights who protect and work to gather magic for it, are these children here. The Knight of the Blade, the Blazing (inferno, conflagaration, raging flame... think fire) General/Commander Signum and Knight of the Lake, the Healing Wind, Shamal. The others who are out is the Scarlet Iron Lord Viita and the Azure Wolf, Zafira.
*Yawn.*
Shamal: Oh my.
Hayate: Ahaha... This isn't good, I spent so long talking last night that I didn't get much sleep at all.
Shamal: I see.
Hayate: Suzuka's bed was real soft so I couldn't really relax either.
Signum: I see, would you like to take a rest then?
Hayate: Hm, I don't want my exhaustion to bother me when I'm cooking and make everyone wait hungry. I guess I'll go and rest a bit.
Signum: Let me take you to your bed.
Hayate: Thank you. We have ground beef, so tonight we'll have hamburger.
Signum: That is good. Viita will particularly be happy.
Shamal: Yes. Signum, be careful.
Signum: Right...
Hayate: Okay. To bed, I go...
Shamal: Is Hayate-chan asleep already?
Signum: Shamal, blanket. Shamal, is our master only tired? Are you sure there's no influence/effect from Yami no sho?
Shamal: I just checked right now. There doesn't seem to be anything different from last night.
Signum: Nothing?
Shamal: Yes, Yami no sho is still eroding Hayate's body and linker core but it is still limited to her legs only at this moment.
Signum: So it slowed down a little? I know, don't worry Yami no sho. Our master is all right.
Shamal: She's all right, so don't worry.
Let's not bother her sleep. Let's leave.
Signum: Yeah...
Shamal: You too, Yami no Sho.
Signum: But there's one thing that concerns me though.
Shamal: What?
Signum: Last night as I talked with Master Hayate on the phone, the Master called me the Blazing General/Commander. The Blazing General/Commander of the Wolkenritter shouldn't be so depressed.
Shamal: That second title/name...
Signum: It's not a name that she would use for us. The only thing that calls me that... is the complete incarnation of the Yami no Sho.
Shamal: It can't be...

Hayate: Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's Sound Stage 02. Episode 6.5 [The distant light of the night sky].

04 - Nanoha & Fate, Honyoku Naibu Kengaku
04 - Nanoha & Fate, Touring Inside Headquarters

Nanoha: Wow, looking closer now, the inside of the Space Time Administration headquarters is amazing
Fate: Sorry to keep you waiting Nanoha.
Nanoha: Oh Fate-chan. Did you finish all the contract work related procedures?
Fate: Yeah, it was just filling some forms out. Did you get to met Yuuno-kun, Nanoha?
Nanoha: Yeah, I gave him the gift too. Yuuno-kun said he was going to the central central for some formalities to be able to research at the Infinite Archive.
Fate: Hm, that's a shame. That means we'll be missing each other.
Nanoha: I see.
Fate: If we have time latter on, we can go see him again.
Nanoha: Yeah.
Liesse Aria: Oh, Nanoha, Fate.
Nanoha: Liesse Lotte-san. Liesse Aria-san.
Fate: Hello.
Liesse Lotte: Great timing, we were about to go and get you.
Liesse Aria: We were asked by Chrono to give you guys a tour of Headquarters if we had time.
Nanoha: Is it all right?
Liesse Lotte: Fate-chan hasn't been to the B3 section before, have you?
Fate: No.
Liesse Aria: It's not a particularly exciting place for a normal person but I think it would be fun for two cool mages like you. So how about it?
Liesse Lotte: You want to go see?
Fate+Nanoha: Yes, please.
Lotte: This section is B3. The armed enforcers (Armed Bureau Members) are usually working in this section.
Nanoha: Everyone is wearing normal suits.
Aria: That's because there's usually deskwork involved too.
Lotte: Over there is the training area.
Aria: It looks like they're training right now.
Nanoha: Wow, amazing. Everyone is doing their best.
Lotte: This sort of formal live combat training happens every three or four times a week.
Aria: Basic training happens more often I think.
Fate: Liesse Lotte-san, Liesse Aria-san...
Aria: Ah, stop right there. It's a pain to call us by our full name all the time. So just drop Liesse for us. You can just call me Aria.
Lotte: When you need to address the two of us, you can call us Liesse. Everyone does it.
Fate: I see, well, I heard that Lotte-san and Aria-san are in charge of all the instructors for the armed enforcement bureau.
Aria: That's right.
Lotte: Battle technique instruction corps assistants is the most common job right now. (personally, I suppose we could call them Instructors in the ART OF WAR corps)
Nanoha: Battle Technique instruction corps?
Aria: A special team of instructors who teach and guide Armed Bureau members in special battle techniques.
Lotte: It's already quite hard to become a armed enforcer but there's another group within the group of enforcers who teach their air borne techniques. (bad translation)
Aria: They're the top elite.
Lotte: Yup, the Aces amongst Aces. A group of Aces of Aces. In headquarters there's about 4 branch offices, 5 if you add in the instruction corps but all together there's only about 100 people.
Fate: They're that rare?
Aria: Well if you add in part time assistants like us, there are lots more.
Lotte: Compared to the number of Armed Enforcers though, there's not enough skilled instructors. That's why the brats in the Armed Enforcement Bureau never get stronger.
Aria: Oh they're taking a break? Just when we came to watch.
Lotte: Oh but with these two, they're the type who like doing it rather than watching, so this is perfect.
Aria: Well with these two, they're the type who would rather do it than just watch.
Fate+Nanoha: Eh, heh.

06 - Umi Nari Daigaku Byouin
06 - Uminari University Hospital

Ishida: All right then. Oh it's already 11 a.m. I've got to get going. Hello, this is Ishida. Is Yagami Hayate-san here already? I see, I'm heading there right now.
Hello, welcome back.
Hayate: Doctor Ishida. Hello.
Viita+Shamal: Hello.
Ishida: Oh, here with Viita-chan?
Hayate: Yup, we're going shopping together latter on.
Ishida: Are going to have her buy something for you.
Viita: Oh, I don't know.
Ishida: Well then, let's go to the examination room. I'll show you there.
Hayate: Thank you. Oh, not again. (bad translation) (bimyou ii utsu ya. Lit: A fine hit/strike.)
Viita: Really?
Hayate: This examination is really boring. You have to lay stay completely still, and you can't talk at all when you lie down.
Viita: That sounds troublesome.
Shamal: Well, keeping completely still is difficult but try to endure it. It's for the sake of making your body better, Hayate.
Hayate: Oh Viita, you can wait downstairs. You might meet a grandpa you know.
Viita: Okay, do your best Hayate.
Hayate: I know.

07 - Hayate, Yami no Sho no Ichi to Deau
07 - Hayate and the will of the YnS meet

Hayate: As usual, this is really boring. I know I shouldn't fall asleep... but knowing that only makes me sleepier. Oh, this dream again. Lately I've been seeing it a lot, it's a very... mysterious... dream... Oh it's a battle this time? It's not my world. There are lots of knights...
Woman: Emergency! The front walls have been breached! There are four enemies! The general is engaging a fire using female knight in combat. Our position is being destroyed! (bad translation, hard to hear)
Signum: How pathetic, the blade in your hand must be weeping.
Hayate: Signum? What's with that rough looking armor?
Signum: The strong (can't hear)(bad translation). I'll be taking what's been promised.
Man: You... bastard!... Who are you!!!
Signum: There's no reason for you to remember my name. You're only worthy of becoming food/power for the YnS! (bad translation)
Hayate: Yami no Sho? No, Signum, no don't!
Woman: The General has been defeated! Reinforcements! Send reinforcements...!
Shamal: Please remain silent.
Hayate: Shamal? Shamal's armor is also...
Shamal: Your life and your castle is of absolutely no interest to us. The only thing we want... is the source of all your magic, your linkercore.
Hayate: Shamal...
Signum: The defenders of this castle and it's general could only put up this much of a fight? After only a mere hundred years the Belka Knights has really fallen.
Shamal: Don't say that. It can't be helped.
Zafira: This is a consequence of time.
Hayate: Zafira too? Could this be...?
Shamal: In these times, using Belka in wars is rare. Perhaps this isn't an age of knights any more.
Signum: It makes collecting linkercores that much harder though. Wresting it from the weak is scarcely to my liking.
Zafira: However, our master only cares for the completion of the book.
Shamal: As quickly as possible too. We have to finish gathering the pages soon or our master will get angry again.
Signum: I know, where's Viita?
Hayate: That's right... Viita...
Man 1: What the hell was that explosion? What... what kind of attack was that?
Man 2: Ahhh!!! My arm!!! MY ARM!!!
Viita: Shut up... SHUT UP! If you're going to just scream/cry on the battefield like that then don't bother picking up a weapon in the first place!
Hayate: Viita?... No, please stop!
Viita: Signum? What the hell are you doing?
Signum: I keep on telling to keep a cool head. What are you thinking, crushing what we're trying to gather?
Viita: But these guys won't shut up!
Zafira: We cannot afford to waste our magic. You know there isn't enough time to recuperate it.
Viita: I told you shut up!
Shamal: Enough. Let's gather what we have quickly and return to our Master.
Viita: Oh yeah... Our Master...
Hayate: Everyone...
YnS: I'm surprised... You managed to get in here on your own?
Hayate: Huh... huh? Um... You... Your?
YnS: Due to the current stage of awakening, it is dangerous for you access this deeply. I shall guide you to a safer place. Please come this way.
Hayate: Wait... Wait a second... You... I know you.
YnS: Yes, ever since you were born, I have always been by your side.
Hayate: Then, your Yami no Sho?
YnS: If you wish to call me that you may. I am the magic book's true completion program.
Hayate: I see, I see... Wait, that's not right... Before we leave, could you tell me what this place is?

08 - Yami no Sho no Ishi, Kishi Tachi no Kako wo Kataru
YnS's will, the Knights past revealed.

YnS: This is our recorded memories, the past history of the YnS. As long as the pages are not gathered and activated this was designed to enlighten our new master to the truth of our past and make them understand. But it seems you have come here quicker than expected. (bad translation)
Signum: The Wolkenritter have returned. Today we attacked a castle to the west.
Shamal: We have gathered 54 pages. We have now gathered 316 pages.
Master: Too slow. You're too slow.
Signum: Yes.
Master: I was chosen by the Yami No Sho. I have the right to it's absolute power.
Shamal: Of course.
Master: Put the power of the YnS, that even the Gods desire, in my hands quickly. Quickly, quickly make me the true master of the Yami no Sho.
Signum: Understood.
YnS: This memory is far in the past. At this time, the master was a female Velka lord. (translation is off)
Hayate: Signum and Shamal... they're completely different.
Signum: We're setting out tomorrow morning. Recuperate as much as you can until then.
Shamal: Viita-chan, it's cold. So come here.
Viita: No thanks. I'll sleep alone.
Hayate: Wait a second. What is this? Don't tell me that this is their room.
YnS: At the time with this master, yes.
Hayate: They can't lit a fire here, a bare stone floor. This is just a jail cell.
YnS: It can't be helped. The knights were just hardworking tools, they don't require a place fit for a human to rest in.
Hayate: That can't be. It's wrong. Ignoring their actions are right or wrong for now, they're working so hard for their master. To put them in such a cold place. Really, I mean were they fed well?... And, didn't they receive any normal clothes? Wearing only what they have now, look they're shivering! I... I...
YnS: This is all in the past. There's nothing you can do.
Hayate: That might be true but this is too much...
YnS: The Knights past is upsetting to your gentle nature. I shall end the image. Also, the Knights are now very happy. Since they are living by your side now.
Hayate: Um... How... what can I say.
YnS: Thank you very much. I want to extend these words of thanks to you.
Hayate: Oh no, I should be saying that... I see, you're the YnS's will, then you're the one who let me meet those children.
YnS: I'm very sorry but it's not as if I willed it for you to meet them. Any individual before my scan gets to meet them. (bad translation)
Hayate: Oh that's all right. Thanks to you coming to my place, I got to meet them.
YnS: Yes.
Hayate: And now, I got to meet you. I'm really happy and thankful. Is that bad?
YnS: No, if that is what you wish, I have no problems with it.
Hayate: Good girl. Anyways, I'm sorry. I never noticed you existed before. Signum and the others should have told me something.
YnS: I am a program that won't activate until the pages are gathered. Since you do not desire this, the Blazing Commander/General and Healing Wind find it difficult to tell you. Please don't blame them. (bad translation)
Hayate: Until the the pages are all gathered, you can't come outside.
YnS: To freely converse and to access and activate my personality function requires 400 pages to be gathered and requires authorization from the Master. For my physical incarnation and harmonization (fusion/unison) function, all the pages must be gathered and you must become the true master, before it is possible. (bad translation)
Hayate: I see. By physical incarnation and all, does that mean that you can live like Signum and the others with me.
YnS: Yes. I can appear in this form and if it's necessary I can harmonize (fuse, unite) with you and grant you powers of a mage.
Hayate: I see. It would be good if I became the true master but...
YnS: Unless you desire to complete the book, it's not possible. Access this deep is dangerous in the current situation. I'll escort you to the outer layers when you are waking up. I'll put a lock on the system so that this won't happen again. I'm sorry.
Hayate: Oh you don't have to apologize. Bt leaving right after meeting you feels so lonely.
YnS: I feel the same way.
Hayate: In that case, can I ask you for something as your master before we have to say good bye? It's something I've asked from Signum and the others as well. Something you absolutely have to do to become my knight.
YnS: I am at your service.
Hayate: Well then, here!
YnS: Huh?
Hayate: A hug!
YnS: Wha... oh... Yes... I understand... Then... I should it the same way as the Blazing Commander/General does it, by resting you on my lap?
Hayate: Yup. Hugging this way, we can see each other faces more closely. We can see into each other eyes deeply.
YnS: Yes, I can see very well.
Hayate: You have beautiful deep red eyes.
YnS: Thank you very much.
Hayate: And such silky silver hair.
YnS: Yes.
Hayate: And... your breasts are pretty large. (Hayate has a breast fetish...)
YnS: Unlike the Blazing Commander/General, I don't get as embarrassed as her. You can freely feel them if you want. (or at least embarassing Signum as much as possible)
Hayate: Maybe latter.
YnS: Ha...
Hayate: I knew it, you look more beautiful when you laugh.
YnS: Thank you very much.
Hayate: Until it's time to go. Let's talk.
YnS: Yes, what would you like to hear?
Hayate: Something from the past. One that isn't so sad.
YnS: I see. Well then, I do have this tale. This is something that happened a very long time, but it involves me and a certain...

09 - Nanoha & Fate, Chrono to
09 - Nanoha, Fate and Chrono

Chrono: Welcome home Fate, Nanoha.
Fate: I'm back.
Nanoha: Sorry to bother you.
Fate: Chrono, are you alone?
Chrono: Amy is giving Arf a walk. Then they're heading over to Alex for dinner. They've been eating nothing but instant food lately.
Nanoha: Oh...
Fate: I see.
Chrono: The admiral is at Fate's school meeting some teachers. However... You didn't hear/get involved in anything weird from Liese at headquarters did you?
Nanoha: Oh, heard something strange?
Fate: Like what?
Chrono: Those two are pretty skilled and do their work well but those two are cats when it comes to private things.
Nanoha: Oh they didn't say anything too weird to us. Right?
Fate: Right!
Chrono: If that's the case...
Nanoha: We were talking a bit about our future together.
Fate: According to Lieze apparently, I'm suited for executive officer work, and Nanoha is suited as a Combat Instructor for the Combat Division.
Chrono: Really, that's pretty upfront talk from those two... I wonder what they're up to. (bad translation)
Fate: What do you think Chrono?
Chrono: It's pretty accurate. It suits you, that is to say... Comparing all other qualities, it's a perfect match.
Nanoha: Really?
Chrono: Nanoha's combat ability is considerable. Your irresponsible reliance on your magic power complements your basic true character. (not well translated)
Nanoha: Er...
Chrono: Your extremely solid and quick to recover too.
Nanoha: Er... Are you praising me or are you insulting me?
Fate: Oh, he's praising you, really.
Chrono: Fate likes studying. You might even enjoy the difficult executive officer exam.
Fate: Hm.
Chrono: But whatever you decide, both are very difficult. The instructor training requires you to employ extremely high level magics. You need to have the right attitude, all the more. The executive officer exam, even coming from me, pass rate is very low.
Fate: So it seems.
Chrono: The administration is extremely undermanned. So skilled mages are always welcomed. Incidents of all sorts are always happening. Even as I'm overseeing the Yami no Sho case, there are things happening elsewhere. The main thing I keep in mind during these cases is to serve the law and people. To see them as equal despite practicality and contradictions of the situation dangling before you. I'm not saying that you should see yourself as justice itself or an overly rigid watchdog either. (bad translation)
Fate: I think I know what your saying.
Chrono: It's difficult. As long as you don't think of it, it's easy. But it's the type of job you can't help but think of it as your involved in your cases or fighting. So I'm going to be a little contradictory/selfish but I want my little sister and friends to have a more comfortable occupation than this. (bad translation)
Nanoha: That's rather complicated.
Chrono: Well, you two still have time. As I told you before Fate, you should at least stay until you graduate from Junior High school and get a general education in this world. You can even do this while your married too. You should take your time to think it over. Though right now, we need to concentrate on this case. (Whoa... did I translate you wrong Chrono?)
Fate: I guess so.

10 - Nanoha, Yuuno to Denwa
10 - Nanoha and Yuuno on the Phone

Chrono: Okay, take care Nanoha.
Fate: See you tomorrow.
Nanoha: Bye, bye!
Hm. I wonder if I can reach Yuuno-kun with my cellphone.
Hello? Yuuno-kun? Are you busy right now?
Oh, I'm glad.
How is it over there? Have you finally gotten into the Infinite Library (Archive)?
Oh, I see. It sounds difficult.
Oh I'm heading home right now.
Hm. We were talking about our futures and stuff. And I thought I would get the opinion of my magic teacher too.
Well, that might be true. Um, did you know? During that incident with Fate-chan... I thought, that's all there is to this. I didn't think about anything beyond collecting the Jewel Seeds with Yuuno-kun together in the beginning and then wanting to know more about Fate-chan... But... I feel that this incident is a bit different.
Oh I'm worried about Viita-chan and the others and about the Book of Darkness.
But I keep on thinking, these sorts of incidents are probably happening all over the world. And in each of these incidents, there are people like Yuuno-kun, Fate-chan and Prescia-san... There must be so many in trouble. Feeling sorrow. And making mistakes.
With all of this happening, what could I possibly do?
Oh sorry, sorry for calling you and talking about this so suddenly.
Thank you.
And so I thought, I wanted to talk to you and get your opinion Yuuno-kun. Oh it doesn't have to be right now or anything. Don't worry about it. When your not busy with work or on break, since I can finally get in touch with you by cellphone.
Right, so if Yuuno-kun has a problem you want to talk about too don't hesitate to contact me. You're familiar with the mail feature right?
Yeah, your right.
Hm. Haha. Thank you. I feel better now. Anyways, good night.
Talk to you again, Yuuno-kun.
Yeah, I'll do my best!

11 - Fate, Yozora no Shita de
11 - Fate, under the evening sky.

Chrono: Oh yeah, that thing called 'cellphone' is one convenient device in this world.
Fate: Hm, your always really far away. Don't you want one?
Chrono: No, for example, if I contact you there's an issue about privacy. I don't want to butt into your business.
Fate: You don't have to worry about that.
Chrono: Worry about it anyways. It's pretty handy for talking to your friend at school. You can buy that at any store can't you.
Fate: Um, lets see. Underage children must have a parental supervision/permission.
Chrono: I see, then let's ask the Captain then.
Fate: I'm happy... but is it all right?
Chrono: There's no reason not to get one. Anyways, Amy is pretty late. Is she watching television and chatting again? Really now.
Fate: Um...
Chrono: Hm?
Fate: ... Thank you... onii-chan.
Chrono: PFFT!!!

Crash... Bang...

Fate: Ah, Chrono?
Chrono: Nothings wrong... Nothings wrong, I'm fine!
Fate: Um, but...
Chrono: I'll clean that up latter... Anyways I've got some urgent work to do in my room. I'll be back soon.

Collapse...

Fate: I guess... I was too sudden. I forgot that Chrono startles easily... But my onii-chan really is kind. Hey Linith, are you watching me from the other side of the sky? The new place I am at is full of kind people. About Precia mother and Alicia, there are lots of things I have to think of and this incident is pretty hard and difficult. But I'm doing all right since I'm with Arf and Bardiche too. The enemy I'm up against is really strong but I, who was given birth by mother... raised by Linith... and with your creation, Bardiche... I'm sure I won't lose... I'll do my best.

13. Hayate to, Yami no Sho no Ishi to
13. Hayate and Book of Darkness's Will

Ishida: Sorry to bother you.
Shamal: Oh, Dr. Ishida.
Ishida: Is the examination still going?
Shamal: Yes but it looks like it'll be over soon.
Ishida: I see.
Shamal: Hayate-chan is asleep.
Viita: Hey, your right.
Shamal: Oh, it looks like it's done now.

Hayate: Huh? What the... my body is glowing.
YnS: It seems like you're about to open your eyes. It is time to part.
Hayate: Oh, there's so much I want to talk to you about.
YnS: I too.
Hayate: There's so much more I want to know about you.
YnS: Please, don't worry about it too much.
Hayate: And I still have to give you a name.
YnS: Wha?
Hayate: The Book of Darkness is not your real name. And calling you the Book of the Night Sky doesn't sound right. Your name should match you like your beautiful pale hair, a strong, gentle name. I've got to think of one.
YnS: Thank you very much. From my the depths of my heart, I will grateful accept it when it is time.
Hayate: Well then, let's meet again.
YnS: Be careful and take care of your body.
Hayate: Yeah, you too.
YnS: Please, take care of the Knights too.
Hayate: Yes, I will.
YnS: And so she's gone... and I am alone again... Oh, are these... tears... it's been so long, I've forgotten but... I can still cry... My master... No matter how warm her heart is, or how magnamious her heart is or how gentle her heart is... The moment my master opens her eyes, everything that she has seen, everything about me, everything about our past shall be forgotten. In the light of the outside world, she will remember nothing of me... I don't care about that... But without a doubt in the near future, I shall bring ruin upon her without fail... There's nothing I can do... The light of the dark sky, has fallen into the darkness. There's nothing I can do to save the master... or stop the knights... Nothing I can do... I don't care who it is, or what the price is, isn't there someone who can cut the cruel strings of fate... For my gentle master or for the devoted knights... isn't there a way to save them? The Blazing Commander/General... Knight of the Lake... Azure Wolf... Scarlet Iron Lord... and our Master Yagami Hayate... It can be God or the Devil... Please, someone, save her. (Angsty complicted YnS... Maybe badly translated in this section)

14. Kioku no Kanata
14. Distant memories.

Shamal: Hayate-chan.
Ishida: Hayate-chan. Hayate-chan.
Viita: Hayate... Hayate, are you all right?
Hayate: Viita... Shamal... Dr. Ishida, what's going on?
Shamal: What's going on?
Viita: It's because your crying Hayate.
Hayate: Oh, you're right.
(Ishida: Did anything strange happen?)
Viita: Hayate. Does is it hurt somewhere? Are you all right?
(Hospital: No, not that I could see.)
(Ishida: Show me the scans.)
Hayate: Oh, no I'm all right. I don't hurt anywhere. I was just asleep. I guess I must have seen a dream.
Shamal: I see...
Ishida: It's rather worrisome. Would you mind if we run some more tests?
Hayate: Wha! No, there's no need. I'm all right!
Ishida: Really?
Hayate: There's no problem.
Shamal: Hayate, use this handkerchief.
Hayate: Thank you Shamal.

Hayate: Oh, that was close. It would have been another 2 hour course of scans.
Viita: It was a big problem.
Hayate: Yeah really.
Shamal: But when your feeling bad, you have to get it checked.
Hayate: Yeah but when your feeling all right, you don't need to get it checked out.
Shamal: Well... that's true.

Signum: Zafira, it's time for Master Hayate to return from the hospital, let us return.
Zafira: I understand. Let's go Yami no Sho!

15 - Yagami Ie no Gogo
15 - Yagami House's Afternoon

Hayate: We're home.
Signum: Welcome home.
Shamal: We're home.
Signum: You've bought a lot again.
Viita: Fish and rice were on sale at the supermarket.
Hayate: Hey Signum, Zafira, come and help.
Shamal: Oh I'm fine by myself. Signum, could help Hayate-chan.
Signum: Yes, Master Hayate, excuse me.
Hayate: Ah, we've bought lots of fish today, tonight is going to be a feast.
Signum: That sounds wonderful.
Hayate: We've bought Signum's favorite sashimi. And the main dish is watarenabe (a sort of Japanese hotpot... never heard of it.)
Viita: Hotpot! YEAH!
Signum: My heart dances with joy.
Hayate: Oh and we bought a movie too. Let's watch it all together.
Shamal: Yes.
Hayate: Oh, Book of darkness. I'm back Yami no sho. Tonight everyone's going to be together. Okay.
Signum: Understood.
(Shamal: Looks we'll have to start collecting late at night again.)
(Signum: Yes.)
(Viita: Until then let's eat lots tonight and play together with Hayate. And restore our magic.)
(Zafira: I'm going to go and rest. Awake me when it's time for dinner.)
Hayate: Okay, now let's cook!
Shamal: Yeah.

16 - Yoru ~ Yoru Ten no Shu, Hoshizora wo Miagete
Night ~ Master of the Night Sky, Looking up at the Stars.

Hayate: Oh Viita's fallen sleep.
Shamal: It's because ate so much and crawled on to the sofa with Hayate so quickly.
Hayate: We shouldn't wake her. Signum could you carry her to bed?
Signum: Of course.
Hayate: I'll be outside in the yard a bit.
Shamal: It's cold out. Here's a jacket.
Hayate: Thank you. You wanna come to, Yami no Sho? Oh the stars are beautiful tonight. You've been alive for a real long time and seen lots of night skies haven't you, Yami no sho? How are the stars of this world? Are they beautiful as the one's in the past? You know, I can feel that your existence is starting to grow within me, Yami no sho. It like I'm becoming one with you. But, it's not as if the pages are being collected. Of course not, I made Signum promise me after all. You know, I don't really mind if my legs or body don't recover at all. I'm sorry to say to Ishida-sensei but I don't think I'll get better. I don't mind living too long either. If those children didn't come to me, I would have been alone otherwise. But those children... Signum, Shamal, Viita and Zafira, really need me. So as long as they need me, I won't break or die. That's an absolute promise. Because I am, yours and everyone's master after all
Shamal: Hayate-chan, you'll catch a cold. Let's get inside.
Hayate: Okay.
Signum: I shall come over.
Hayate: My light is fading away slowly and gives way to the light of the night sky. (not exactly translated well)
Signum: Hm?
Hayate; Oh it's nothing.
Shamal: Is that... so?
Hayate: Even if the light of the stars disappear into the darkness, I will fulfill my responsibility as master of the Yami no sho until the end. We won't bother anyone. Or get in anyone's way. I just want to give my children who have given me such joy, greater joy in return. So please. God or the devil, please leave us be.

London and Toronto...

2007-02-16T05:41:41Z

I am out to explore new and unusual worlds in Canada.

Not really, I just don't want to go home to Halifax first thing like I usually do. I mean, damn it, every time there's a break, I go back to Halifax.

I mean, I know my parents are lonely and stuff but this is ridiculous. Do you know how much it costs for a plane ticket back? GRRRRR!!!!

Thus, I am going to go to London to bother a friend and get drunk.

Then go to Toronto and get drunk... Then go back to Montreal and ride the plane to Halifax... Possibly while drunk.

Yes, my liver will be weeping in pain from my excesses.

Who knows, maybe I'll go to the Gay village in Toronto for the hell of it and write what I see. Beats having to do homework all day long like I usually do.

On a side note, I've been lazy lately and not going to the gym.

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha SOUND STAGE 01

2007-02-02T19:41:15Z

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha SOUND STAGE 01

01 Nanoha Mahou no Renshuuchuu
01 Nanoha Practices Magic.

Nanoha: Good morning. I am Takamichi Nanoha. I'm a normal 3rd grader and the youngest out of three siblings.
Yuuno: Good. Concentrate. In your mind, make an image. Now take that image into your hand and tranfer it to Raging Heart.
Nanoha: Okay. Raging Heart, please.
Raging Heart: Stand by, ready.
Yuuno: Now gather magical energy for that image, think of the magic incantation and cast it from the staff all at once.
Nanoha: Magic for the image. Lyrical Magical, um, capture (bind) spell casted! All right! Did I do it right?
Yuuno: No, you didn't!
Nanoha: Wha... AHH!!!
Yuuno: Nanoha? Nanoha!?
Nanoha: Oh, that surprised me.
Yuuno: Are you all right?
Nanoha: Yeah... somehow.
Ever since I met this otherworldly small ferret, Yuuno-kun, that night, my days as a magic user began. The magic staff, Raging Heart, that Yuuno-kun lent me is a very powerful item but if I can't use it properly, I can't call out it's power fully. As a result, every morning I practice magic a bit every morning.
Oh, it doesn't look I'm doing all to well.
Yuuno: No, you're quite impressive. It's only been a few days and you can do this much already.
Nanoha: Hm, really? Oh, it's time for breakfast.
Yuuno: I guess that's it for this morning.
Nanoha: Thank you very much, Raging Heart. Until latter.
Raging Heart: Good bye.
Nanoha: Yuuno-kun is searching for small gems called Jewel Seeds. They're supposed to be stones that grant wishes, but they tend to go beserk or do dangerous things. Yuuno-kun is trying to recover them. It turned out that I had some magical ability and thus now I'm using Yuuno-kun's magic staff Raging Heart to help gather them. Every since then we've been sealing Jewel Seeds steadily and safely gather them. Including the one that Yuuno-kun has captured, there are now only 18 Jewel Seeds left.
Oh... I kinda understand how to use attack and protection spells now...
Yuuno: You seem to really be good with high energy spells, Nanoha. (badly translated) You possess a great amount of magic but your concentration, compressing energy and fine control isn't as good.
Nanoha: Um... Doesn't that mean I'm the type that relies on solving everything with power (brute force)?
Yuuno: Oh no, that's not what I meant.
Nanoha: Er. Really.
Yuuno: Anyways, it's all right. I can support you with the capture and barrier spells.
Nanoha: Really?
Yuuno: Yeah, a bit of my magic has returned now. And besides, I'm better with support spells.
Nanoha: That's good.
Yuuno: But to seal the Jewel Seeds... My magic isn't...
Nanoha: Don't worry about it. I'll do that myself. I'm the one good with high energy attack and defense spells and can seal them. Yuuno-kun, who's great with support spells, is my magic teacher and my sealing support. We're a perfect pair! So, don't worry about it. Together I'm sure we can do it.
Yuuno: Nanoha...
Nanoha: Anyways, let's go home and heartily eat breakfast!
Yuuno: Okay.
Nanoha: Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha, sound stage 01. Episode 2.5 is "*heart skip*, a big problem at the pool involving swimsuits."

02 Ohayou
02 Good morning

Miyuki: Oh Nanoha! Good morning.
Kyoichi: Welcome home.
Nanoha: Oh, onii-chan, onee-chan. Good morning, I'm home.
Miyuki: You went on a walk with Yuuno again this morning?
Nanoha: Eh heheheh, yup?
Miyuki: Man, you're one strange ferret Yuuno, liking walks so much. Good boy.
Kyoichi: Well, it's a good thing that Nanoha has made it a habit to wake up so early.
Nanoha: Yeah, waking up so early feels good.
Miyuki: Oh yeah, are you ready for today?
Nanoha: Today?
Miyuki: Oh you know, that new pool past the bus depot. You promised to go there after school with everyone.
Nanoha: Yeah, I'm ready.
(Yuuno: Huh?)
(Nanoha: Oh it's a promise that was made before you came here. We're all going to the new pool together.)
(Yuuno: Oh, a pool.)
(Nanoha: Since you're here as well let's go together Yuuno-kun.)
(Yuuno: Eh? What? Me as well? Huh? But... Huh? Huh? HUH?)
Nanoha: Are you coming too onii-chan?
Kyoichi: Yea but I'll be there working as a lifeguard.
Miyuki: It's your first time as well right Nanoha? It seems like there are lots of cute ?can't hear?
(Yuuno: Um, Nanoha, hey Nanoha! I don't think...)
Nanoha: I'm really looking forward to going with Arissa-chan and everyone
(Yuuno: You're not listening to me, are you?)

Arissa: Alright! Class is over!
Suzuka: Preparations are all done!

Nanoha: The gentle and warm hearted Tsukimura Suzuka-chan.
Arissa: Did you bring your swim suit?
Suzuka: Of course.
Nanoha: I really like swimming.
Arissa: I've gotta call Noel-san and Miyuki-san to come.
Suzuka: It looks like you can use a swimming tube in the pool, so I asked Farin to bring one.
Arissa: That sounds great!
Nanoha: Ah, using a swimming tube to float on.
(Suzuka: ?can't hear?. feel nice.)
Nanoha: We're the always together chummy trio.)

Farin: Suzuka-chan!
Suzuka: Farin!
Noel: Arissa-ojousama. Nanoha-ojousama. We've come to pick you up.
Arissa: Noel-san!
Nanoha: Thank you very much! Suzuka's housemaids, Noel-san and Farin-san, are joining us today.
Noel: Miyuki-san will be meeting up latter? (bad translation)
Nanoha: Yeah. With Yuuno-kun.
Arissa: It looks like your getting along great with Yuuno-kun.
Suzuka: Yuuno is such a good, smart child.
Nanoha: Yeah!

04. Miyuki to Yuuno
04. Miyuki and Yuuno

(Newscaster 1: From last night, the sudden collapse of a wall at Uminari City, Misaka town incident. Upon investigation, it doesn't appear to be the result of a automobile accident. There is also no traces of explosives either. The mystery deepens, luckily though no one was injured and despite being at the centure of the blast Makihara Verterinary hospital's patient recovery ward also reported no one, excuse me, no animals were injured. However there are no obvious causes for the incident, making everyone very nervous indeed. Reporting from the scene in Misaka town is Reporter Yamamoto. Yamamoto-san!)
Yuuno: Sigh... We still can't find the next jewel seed... I can't always rely on Nanoha all the time, I've gotta try harder.
(newscaster 2: Yes, ?Can't hear?.)
(Newscaster 1: Yamamoto-san, Yamamoto-san, it's a bit hard to hear you.)
(newscaster 2: Oh, okay. Can you hear me now?)
(Newscaster 1: Yes, now we can hear you.)
(newscaster 2: Reporting from Misaka town, though the incident has been investigated, the investigation to the cause has not ended yet. Residents affected by the incident can scarcely hide their dismay. (really bad translation.))
(Newscaster 1: Yamamoto-san.)
(newscaster 2: Yes?)
(Newscaster 1: What is the current situation with the residents affected by the incident.)
Miyuki: I'm home! Then again, no one's home.
(newscaster 2: Oh, we'll be soon interviewing one of them...)
Yuuno: Gah.
Miyuki: Hey Yuuno, I'm back.
Yuuno: Kyun!
Miyuki: Did you get out of your cage again? You sure like running around free. Oh well. Yuuno is a good boy right? There, there. We're going to the pool today okay, I'm going to go get changed now. So you stay right where you are and be a good boy, Yuuno.

05 Zennin Shuugo Poolside
05 Everyone Meeting at the Poolside.

Girls: Here it goes...! Yeah!
Kyouya: Sorry but watch out for others okay.
Girls: Sorry!
Arissa: Kyouya-san!
Kyouya: You were fast Arissa. Your first?
Arissa: Yup. Nanoha and Suzuka are still getting changed.
Kyouya: I see.
Arissa: You know Kyouya-san. The lifeguard look really suits you.
Kyouya: Really?...
Nanoha: Oh, Arissa-chan! Onii-chan!
Suzuka: Kyouya-san.
Farin: Hello.
Noel: Hello, Kyouya-sama.
Kyouya: Hey, I guess everyone's here.
Nanoha: Yeah, onee-chan and Yuuno-kun are almost...
Miyuki: Sorry to keep you waiting!... Whoa, Kyon-chan, the lifeguard look really suits you.
Kyouya: Yeah...
Miyuki: What about us? What do you think of everyone's new swimsuit look this year?
Farin: We choose vividly. (badly translated)
Kyouya: Um, I guess... that is...
Arissa: Sexy?
Kyouya: ... Yeah...
Farin: Onee-sama, don't you think your swimsuit is a bit ... daring?
Suzuka: ... yea... sort of...
(Nanoha: Sorry about that Yuuno-kun. It seems that you were forcibly made to come.)
Noel: Really, I thought I an appropriately modest one.
(Yuuno: Oh... Um. It's all right.)
(Nanoha: Tonight, I'll search for the Jewel Seeds with you.)
Arissa: Yeah, that's right. (can barely hear)
(Yuuno: No, it's all right. Don't worry about it. Just have fun with everyone.)
(Nanoha: Yeah, thanks alot Yuuno-kun.)
Miyuki: But this place is amazing. There's a diving board area and a slide area.
Farin: There was a bath over there too.
Noel: That sounds wonderful.
Suzuka: You really like baths, don't you Noel.
(Yuuno: Nanoha doesn't seem to notice yet but this place has a weak magic aura. Someone with a strong wish and regret must be around... is the Jewel seed trying to grant that person's wish?)
Arissa: Hey Kyouya-san, what is that balcony-like thing?
Kyouya: Oh that. That's a stage for people to sing and dance on.
Everyone: EH?
Suzuka: In this place? Singing?
Kyouya: It's pretty popular. Just a little while ago, some girls were singing...
Noel: Singing at a pool? It's like a swimsuit littered, swimming meet.
Farin: Onee-sama... what the heck are you talking about?
Noel: In the past, there a tv show just like that.
Arissa: Eh heh. So does anyone want to sing?
Nanoha: I don't want to.
Suzuka: I'll decline too.
Arissa: Miyuki-san? Farin-san?
Miyuki: No, no. I'm really bad at singing.
Farin: I'm even worse!
Noel: I believe that the person who asked should be the one to go first. Right? Arissa-ojousama.
Arissa: Gah.
Miyuki: Who wants to hear Arissa sing?
Everyone: I do!
Yuuno: ... Kyun...
Arissa: Eh~!? I should have kept my mouth shut. Is this some sort of trap?
Kyouya: Hey, the reception is over there. Go on Arissa.
Noel: Do your best, Arissa-ojousama.
Miyuki: Yeah! Yeah!
Nanoha: Fight!
Everyone: Do your best! Go Go Go!
Arissa: Fine then, before I go swimming. I'll give it my all and sing a song! (bad translation)
Everyone: Yeah!!!

07 Oyogimasuka!
07 Swimming?!

Nanoha: Wow, amazing!
Noel: How cute!
Arissa: I guess it felt pretty nice.
Miyuki: Okay, now...
Noel: Since we're at the pool...
Farin: Let's go swim!
Everyone: YEAH!
Arissa: Let's go to the wave pool.
Suzuka: Yeah.
Noel: Let's properly warm up before going in.
Farin: Hey, can Yuuno swim?
Nanoha: Yeah, he says he can.
Kyouya: Hey Miyuki. Remember what I told you last night? Keep an eye on your things while your swimming.
Miyuki: Yeah. Got it.
Noel: Oh? Is something wrong?
Kyouya: Oh Noel. Well, you see...
Miyuki: Yesterday, at this pool there seems to be a guy who's stealing swimsuits and clothing from the changing room.
Noel: Oh my.
Kyouya: Before this, we just caught a guy in the girls changing room. There hasn't been any incidents of indecent assault but there's a lot of young women customers here. So we've sent out a warning for everyone at the pool.
Noel: I see.
Kyouya: Try to enjoy time here without worrying about it too much, but just be on guard.
Miyuki: Got it.
Noel: Okay.

(splash)

Arissa: This feels great.
Miyuki: Hey Suzuka-chan, I heard you swim really fast. Let's have a race to over there.
Suzuka: Okay, I won't lose.
Farin: Very well then, I'll be the referee.
Nanoha: Here you go, Yuuno-kun. Are you all right?
Arissa: Oh, he's swimming, he's swimming.
Nanoha: Yuuno-kun, your good at swimming.
Yuuno: Eh, heh. Thanks a lot. Say Nanoha, can I go look around?
Nanoha: Hm? Okay, but won't you get lost? You sure?
Yuuno: I'll be all right.
Nanoha: Okay then, be careful.
Yuuno: Yeah.
Farin: Nanoha, let's go swim together.
Arissa: Noel-san too!
Noel: Yes.

Kyouya: This is lifeguard #5, Takamichi. Oh yeah, it's time to change. Hm, patrol the surrounding area. Right, roger. Try not run around the pool, it's dangerous.
Kids: OKAY!
Nanoha: Ha. Swimming like this... It feels like me becoming a mage is just a dream... But... It's not a dream. For Yuuno-kun's sake, I've got to do my best.
Farin: Arissa-chan, how was it?
Arissa: Oh, it was great!
Noel: Arissa-ojou-sama is a very fast swimmer.
Arissa: Oh, is Suzuka still racing Miyuki?
Farin: Now, the goal is in sight. Suzuka is swimming hard can she beat Miyuki-san. Wow, Suzuka-chan is really fast. The goal is just... 3 meters... 2 meters... The goal... Miyuki-san wins.
Suzuka: I lost.
Miyuki: Wow that was close.
Nanoha: Good job, Suzuka-chan, onee-chan.
Miyuki: Yeah, we worked really hard.
Arissa: Here's a towel for you.
Suzuka: Thanks a lot.
Miyuki: Thanks, but wow Suzuka-chan, your really fast. Even though we have such a difference in leg and arm length. I guess I should take swimming more seriously since my muscles are starting to get weak.
Noel: That sound likes a good idea.
Farin: And now that's that, the loser has to suffer through a punishment game.
Suzuka: What? I didn't hear about that.
Farin: To repeat Arissa-chan, the loser has to go to the stage and sing a song for everyone.
Suzuka: Arissa-chan?
Arissa: Ho ho ho, go on!
Miyuki: I'm... so glad... I'm so glad I won...
Noel: Well then Suzuka-ojou-sama. This way to the reception desk.
Suzuka: Eh, But... it's so embarassing.
Nanoha: Now, now, I'm sure it'll be fun.
Arissa: Yeah, it actually pretty fun.
Farin: Do your best.
Suzuka: Um... uh... oh, okay. I'll do it.
Arissa: Yeah, do your best! I'm looking forward to it.

09 Kiken no Yokan ~Jewel Seed Hatsudou!
09 A dangerous premonition ~Jewel Seed Activated!

Kyouya: My next stop is the boiler room. As expected, no one would come down here... Is someone there?

Yuuno: It's already activated. I wonder if it's one of those types activated by external stimulus. Using magic as is is dangerous, could I create a barrier in time? (bad translation)

Kyouya: What... is that?

(Nanoha: Huh, Yuuno-kun?)
(Yuuno: Nanoha! The Jewel Seed...)
(Nanoha: I know.)
(Yuuno: It's going to be a battle soon. Sorry about this happening on our day at the pool...)
(Nanoha: Don't worry about it. We're a great one-two combo. Sharing our lot with each other and brimming with courage. You can start any time Yuuno.)
(Yuuno: Thank you...)
Nanoha: Raising Heart, please.
Raising Heart: Stand by, Ready!

Kyouya: GAH!!
Yuuno: Kyouya-san! Normal/Standard Barrier! EXPAND (ACTIVATE)!

Nanoha: UWA! It's huge! A water monster?
Yuuno: Nanoha!
Nanoha: Yuuno-kun!
Yuuno: I managed to create barrier field somehow. But the border of the barrier is so large that there are people still left inside.
Nanoha: NO WAY!!

10 VS Suijuu
10 VS Water Monster

People: AHHHH!!!
Miyuki: Arissa-chan! Suzuka-chan!
Arissa: Wha... What is this thing!!!
Suzuka: It's trying... to remove our swimsuits!
Arissa: NO!!! Don't do that!
Suzuka: It's taking it off!
(Arissa: I told you to knock it off, damn it!)
Yuuno: Gah!
Nanoha: It, uh, doesn't look their lives are in danger. But what is that thing? What's going on?
Yuuno: Oh no. No. I can't look. Can't look.
Nanoha: Yuuno-kun?
Yuuno: Um, it's just a guess but that jewel seed must have been activated by a human and brought to life that person's desires and interest. (Kyou-kun... is a pervert)
Nanoha: Huh?
Yuuno: In other words... it's someones wish to gather up girl's clothing...
(Arissa: How could you...)
(Suzuka: How horrible... taking our swimsuits only and spitting us out...)
(Arissa: Give it back! Give it back!)
Nanoha: Arissa-chan! Suzuka-chan!
Raging Heart: Protection.
Suzuka: Huh? The wave... is avoiding us?
Yuuno: Um, sorry about this, you two. But take a small nap by the poolside.
Nanoha: Nice job Yuuno-kun. Now I can...
Raging Heart: Barrier Jacket
Nanoha: People's interests and hobbies are different but I don't think bothering other people with them is good... In other words!
Raging Heart: Sealing Mode Setup!
Nanoha: Lyrical Magical, sealing the abmoination. Jewel Seed... Jewel Seed Serial... Huh? I can't read the number!
Yuuno: What? How can that be?
Nanoha: I can't read it but, anyways, sealing!
Raging Heart: Sealing.
Yuuno: It stopped?
Nanoha: Huh? The swimsuits and underwear all came out but the Jewel Seed isn't here.
Yuuno: The aura hasn't disappeared either. Could it be... hibernating?
Nanoha: Wha!
Yuuno: Anyways, we got to head towards it's aura fast!
Nanoha: Yuuno-kun?
Yuuno: I'm all right! I just felt a bit dizzy.
Nanoha: You used too much magic? That's right, you've been searching for the Jewel Seeds by yourself until you got ragged. You only just recovered from injuries too. Get on!
Yuuno: Huh?
Nanoha: My shoulder. Starting from today, my shoulder is your reserved seat! Let's go Yuuno-kun!
Yuuno: Okay.

11 Nanoha Aratanaru Mahou
11 Nanoha's New Magic

Nanoha: Uwa! There's a lot of them!
Yuuno: It's multiplying as a precaution/defense. We've got seal them or else it'll just become numerous again. A powerful magic emitting enforcement bind, is still impossible for Nanoha. A potent six blessings spell, hasn't been prepared either... Okay, I'll try to stop it's movement and somehow gather them all in one place. Then you'll... (bad translation)
Nanoha: That's no good Yuuno, you can't do something like that.
Yuuno: But...
Nanoha: Stop it's movement and gather them in one place right? I guess it's time to put that spell that I learned this morning to use. I'll give it a try... Make a image in your head... Put magic into it...
Yuuno: Oh, it's noticed us... It's after Nanoha. Evade it by flying into the sky!
Nanoha: Sorry Yuuno-kun, but you still haven't taught me any flying spells yet.
Yuuno: Ohhh no, I forgot!
Nanoha: But... don't worry.
Yuuno: Nanoha? Your magic is... really showing all of a sudden.
Nanoha: Capture ... Spell... Lyrical Magical, capture and paralysis magic... RESTRICT LOCK!! (bad translation... but AWESOME ENGRISH!!!)
Yuuno: It's completely paralyzed... This is a high rank restraint type spell!
Nanoha: Okay, now stay together like that... Here we go Raising Heart!
Raising Heart: Sealing Mode.
Nanoha: Lyrical Magical... This time....
Yuuno: It came out. Number 17 has appeared.
Nanoha: Jewel Seed, Serial Number 17... SEAL!
Raising Heart: Sealing
Nanoha: Success?...
Yuuno: Yes. This time, we got it.
Raising Heart: Mode Release.
Nanoha: Thank you so much Raging Heart.
Raising Heart: Good bye!

12 Yuuno Hitorigoto
12 Yuuno's Soliloquy/monologue

Nanoha: Oh, the clothings and swimsuit is returning to normal.
Yuuno: The magic has been broken, so they're returning to their owners.
Nanoha: Oh I see, phew. But now I've got 4 Jewel seeds, there's only 19 left.
Yuuno: Yeah...
Nanoha: What's wrong Yuuno-kun? You seem exhausted. Are you tired?
Yuuno: Sort of.
(Yuuno: I wonder about Nanoha's magical senses. She has a greater magical potential than me, but I can't tell if it's skillful or clumsy at all. Most of all...)
Nanoha: It's great that everythings returning to normal.
(Yuuno: No matter how I look at it, it's extremely dangerous. Everytime I watch her, my heart starts pounding. I keep on worrying if she's going to get injured and all...)
Nanoha: Oh, the area's starting to return to normal. I've gotta to put away my barrier jacket... Um... I did it.
(Yuuno: I guess all I can do is do everything I can to help with my barrier magics)
Nanoha: Thanks for your hard work Yuuno. Take a break in the basket okay?
Yuuno: Yeah, thank you.
(Yuuno: It would be best if I could do this on my own...)

13 Minna Genki Desu
13 Everyone is energetic

Miyuki: You two awake now?
Noel: You were resting for quite a while.
Arissa: We were asleep?
Farin: You were probably tired from playing so much.
Suzuka: How long were we asleep?
Noel: About 30 minutes.
Arissa: Hm... I feel like I just dreamed something incredible but... (bad translation)
(Suzuka: It's too embarassing though, we can't tell them.)
Arissa: Where's Nanoha?
Miyuki: She's over there.
Noel: While you were sleeping, she took a swimming tube to relax on as she floats...
Farin: It seems.
Arissa: Suzuka, you feel awake now?
Suzuka: Yup, completely.
Arissa: Since we're here, let's play some more.
Suzuka: Yeah.
Arissa: Wahoo!
Suzuka: YEAH! Sorry for getting you wet.
Arissa: Now we're really going to play at the pool.
Nanoha: Yeah.
Farin: Everyone's so energetic.
Miyuki: Huh? What happened to you Kyon-chan? Your completely drenched.
Kyon: When I was walking around the boiler room, it burst and I got soaked with warm water.
Farin: Oh my, oh my are you all right?
Kyon: I'm fine, but now there's water up to the hallway. Now I have to go and help with the clean up.
Noel: How terrible.
Kyon: Well it looks like they're going to pay me overtime, so I guess it's not that bad.

14 Sora ni Yume
14 The Sky of dreams (or Dreaming of the sky)

Nanoha: That night...

Nanoha: Whoa, all of a sudden I feel really tired...
Yuuno: Of course, this afternoon today you just used a high rank magic spell.
Nanoha: You know, when I cast spells sometimes, it just comes to me naturally. Magic naturally just pours out me.
Yuuno: Perhaps it's an issue of concentration. If you think of this and that while casting, you don't use magic very well.
Nanoha: Oh I see, instead thinking about things, I should just concentrate.
Yuuno: Yeah...
Nanoha: But... you know, the Jewel Seeds are really dangerous. Tomorrow, let's go out and search for them again... together. I've got to learn more spells and review today's magic as well. Oh yeah, Yuuno-kun, you mentioned flying magic before, could it be that I can fly in the sky?
Yuuno: Yeah, it's a elementary level spell. So someone with Nanoha's magical power, it should be easy.
Nanoha: Wow! That's so great. Do I need something to help me fly? Like a broomstick or a vacuum cleaner?
Yuuno: What's with the cleaning tools? You don't need anything in particular as long as you have Raising Heart.
Nanoha: Well, can we go outside for a moment and try flying around a bit?
Yuuno: What? It's already pretty late right now. You can't fly around while exhausted either, what happens if you fall? Let's do that tomorrow.
Nanoha: Really?
Yuuno: Really. After using such powerful magics, you need to rest and restore your magic and physical strength is one of the most important basic rule for a mage.
Nanoha: Okay then I guess it's early to bed and early to rise. To the bed, yeah!
Yuuno: I'm going to turn off the light now.
Nanoha: Okay.
Yuuno: Well then, good night Nanoha.
Nanoha: Good night. You know, you sounded like a teacher a bit, a little while ago Yuuno-kun.
Yuuno: Really?... I did?
Nanoha: Yup... Let's work hard together okay.
Yuuno: Yeah.
Nanoha: Then, until tomorrow.

Nanoha: That night in my dreams. I naturally dreamed of the sky. I dreamed of flying together with Yuuno-kun in the blue sky. The day that was about to begin and another small fortunate meeting of fate that I was still ignorant of. The slowly being collected Jewel seeds... And my steadily improving magical strength... My days are only just beginning... Meeting, fate and feelings were quickly converging... Anways, for tonight... Good night. (badly translated... very rough)

16. Jikai Yokoku
16. Next Time on

Nanoha: Next time is about Fate's past!
Yuuno: Meeting of Arf, and more on the familiar that taught Fate magic and created Bardiche.
Nanoha: Fate's past and home tutor shall be revealed in Sound Stage 02, Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Episode 5.5 [Memories from beyond the wind]. Lyrical Magical, change this painful past into memories.

After homework and thoughts on tags

2007-02-01T03:40:58Z

I have finished a part of my homework, which consisted of 2 chapters worth of questions, a japanese kanji sheet and reading the required pages of managing globalization class and cross cultural management... I still have 5 chapters of finanace to review (and reading) and a slew of future projects that my partners are not discussing with me.

Despite the fact that it's due next week. I feel like I'm attacking a mountain with a toothpick.

Okay, enough whining.

I think I have time to translate another track of Mahou Shoujo gundam (nanoha) drama cd. I'm almost done the entire thing, I have 3 tracks left. I'm sure the people on Animesuki is dying to know what it contains.

So I'll get cracking on it after I write this entry.

I read just recently on slashdot on the sheer uselessness of tags. Apparently no one thought of standardizing on how tags should be used. Me, I thought it was pretty obvious on how most tags are used.

If it says, translation. It must have something to do with translation.
If it says, WTF! though, I might be a little lost. Is the person having a bad day and need to vent? Or is something unbelievable he/she heard or saw? Who knows.

The quagmire of tag meanings is difficult to discern as time goes on. And you can't connect with other people who use the same tag.

Person A's WTF could be something entirely different from what Person B's WTF.

I'm rambling aren't I?

All links... Gone

2007-01-29T03:56:19Z

Well what can I say?

All the links in my bookmarks are gone. And I can't even comprehend why or how.

When I checked, it was empty. I thought to myself, 'well, that ain't right' and immediately closed the browser window and clicked on firefox once more.

After checking it the second time, the bookmarks remained stubbornly empty.

I don't feel angry about losing the links at all. They weren't really that important and quite easy to find. I was meaning to clean it out for the last few weeks but never got around to.

So now I'm bookmarking the sites I go to most and such.

The only thing that kind of hurt was the loss of the Japanese Patlabor fanart pages in my bookmarks.

There were a number of Patlabor fanfics I was hoping to one day read when I learned enough of it.
But such is life, I must make do or search again.

Now I'm wondering if it was a virus, a hacker or some strange quirk/hiccup from my computer.

Kendo... Aikido... Anime Club... Gamers Guild... Japanese Student Association... Alpha Kappa Psi...

2007-01-17T03:48:38Z

I... am such a moron.

I know I can't enter all of these groups, do my homework and still have time to mess about on the internet.

Yet... I can't help but just compulsively join them. I want to do something, I'm going to graduate in two years.

Worse than that I seemed to be picked at the Gamers Guild to be one of the people who lands the Executive grenade next year when everyone graduates.

ORZ

I clearly need to cut down on something... somewhere.

Here's to me and my stupid over committment drive.

Let's see if I can keep it up!

... Also have to translate Nanoha tracks.

Snow at long last.

2007-01-12T16:59:10Z

It's finally snowed for a significant length of time in Montreal today.

I am very happy. I'm sure the Japanese exchange student is taking lots of pictures of Montreal in snow.

but it looks like teh temperature is rising so I don't know how long before the snow tarts melting... actually it looks like it's raining now.

Damn...

I've now joined the Japanese Student Association ($2 for the card) and thinking of joining the Alpha Kappa Psi.

Anime club has been restarted but I am a little doubtful if it will last all that long. All the other anime groups tended to implode or simply cease to exist... because all we did was watch anime rather than, say, attend animecons or do cosplay competitions or attempt to do strange things like write scholarly works on anime. Or heck have a random manga day instead.

I predict that things will not work out well for this group either. So far, it's same old same old. Watch anime with a bunch of other people. Something you can do by yourself in your room.

Anyways, I've noticed I've neglected this journal quite a bit.

I just can't or won't write in this thing.

I like to avoid doing something that'll screw me over when I try to look for a job. My facebook similiarly is quite devoid of pictures or friends.

Though someone from the Gamer's Guild did notice me and sent me a message.

Meh.

I really dislike myself

2006-12-18T22:26:53Z

That's it... When I retire I'm going to become a buddhist monk or something.

08. Yagamike Oden no Jikan, Ofuro no Jikan
08. Oden time, bath time at the Yagami household

Hayate: Okay, the shikomi (a oden food or soup base... don't remember which) is okay!
Viita: Mmm, it smells so good. Hayate, I'm hungry.
Hayate: Not yet, we have to let it be and eat after we take a bath.
Viita: But I really want to eat it now...(Lit: I'm really looking forward to it...)
Shamal: Viita-chan and Signum, why don't you try eating this okay?
Signum: What's this?
Shamal: It's a marinated dish I made. Seaweed and octopus with a sesame seed and vinegar dressing.
Viita: Is it safe?
Shamal: "Is it safe?"!?
Signum: Your cooking can be explosive at times, or should I say the chance of a serious mistake is...
Viita: Can't let appearances foll you.
Shamal: Aaa, you're so cruel!
Hayate: Shamal's cooking has improved a lot, it's fine. I tasted it earlier too.
Signum: Then there's nothing to fear.
Viita: Itaddakimaasu! (lit: I will now enjoy.)
Shamal: Ugh, Zafira! Don't you think our leader and attacker is terrible?
Zafira: Please don't ask me such questions...
Shamal: You too, Zafira? Your terrible...
Hayate: Shamal, Zafira's all concerned now. You can't get depressed over such a small thing.
Viita: Huh? Hayate, you didn't just overhear that telepathic conversation right now, did you? (bad translation)
Hayate: Huh, you were using telepathy?
Zafira: My apologies. I thought it was rather unimportant to say outloud.
Hayate: Oh it's all right. Zafira almost never speaks, so I'm happy to hear your voice sometimes.
Viita: Hayate, a question! Now that Zafira has heard that, what is he thinking right now?
Hayate: Oh, let me see. "Thank you for your kind words, but I don't believe in the excessive use of words", I think?
Shamal: Well?
Zafira: Utterly accurate.
Viita: Woooow. How did you know?
Hayate: Oh come on, I've lived with you for half a year now. I can understand, at least, this.
Signum: What a wonderful thing.
Shamal: It's so wonderful that we have such an understanding master.
Hayate: Even if you flatter me, nothing will come of it.
Shamal: Hahaha, now I wonder if the bath is ready.
Signum: Hm, it's definitely not up to Master Hayate's skill, but Shamal's not that bad.
Viita: Yeah, at least its something to fill our stomach.
Hayate: Hey now, Shamal is trying very hard. It's delicious. Here Zafira, have a taste. Ahhh...
Zafira: ... Ahh...
Shamal: AHHHH!!!
Signum: Shamal?!
Viita: What was that?!
Hayate: Shamal, what's wrong?
Shamal: Ahh... Oh, I'm so sorry! I made a mistake with the water temperature and now the bath's full of cold water!
Viita: Wha~!
Signum: I guess we need to reheat it then.
Hayate: Yeah but the hot water for this bath takes a lot of time to heat.
Signum: Shamal, pull yourself together.
Shamal: I'm so sorry.
Viita: Hey, Signum. If you fire up Laevantine and put it into the water, it should heat up real qui-
Signum: I refuse!
Viita: Well that was quick.
Hayate: As Master of the Book of Darkness, I could use my magic do something about this.
Shamal: No, that's all right. I guess I'll have to find a way somehow.
Signum: I'm the fire user but delicate/finer control is difficult.
Viita: If you cause a fire though, its not a laughing matter.
Hayate: Oh it's all right. If you think about, using magic for a something like this is bad.
All: Er...
Hayate: Hmm... Oh yea, Shamal.
Shamal: Yes.
Hayate: Did you keep the advertisements from the mail post?
Shamal: Yes but only this weeks though.
Hayate: Can it you bring it then?
Shamal: Okay.
Hayate: Let me see... Ah, here it is.
Shamal: Uminari Sparkle Pool (spara kua) Renovation re-opening
Signum: Special Anniversary discount (service).
Viita: What's this?
Hayate: A place where everyone gets into a big bath together.
Shamal: Everyone, you say?
Hayate: Oh, of course men are seperate. At the onsen there's a waterfall one, a bubble bath, a body vibration massage bath and black tea bath to choose from (bad translation). It says there are 12 different types of baths.
Signum: That sounds... quite nice but...
Viita: It looks fun.
Hayate: The admission price for the opening is cheap too. A group of more than three gets a discount. This is a great opportunity to go. Who wants to go!
Shamal+Viita: I do!
Hayate: Huh, other than me, only two of you want to go? (bad translation)
Signum: Um, yes.
(Hayate: Signum, what's wrong? Are you embarassed about getting naked infront of everyone?)
Hayate: Signum do you still feel that doing things with your master is a bad thing?
(viita: That's probably it)
Signum: Um... yes.
(Signum: Leave me be.)
Hayate: I don't know how many times I said this, it's great that you take your job as leader diligently for everyone but being too serious is bad as well.
(Shamal: It's women-only, so it should be all right?)
(Hayate: Yup.)
(Viita: Wow this looks great, ?Can't hear?)
Signum: My apologies.
(Hayate: See, you just go Hello! and ?can't hear? a bit then it's all right. ?really bad translation, can't hear anything?)
Hayate: If I say it's all right, it's all right. Seeing everyone's smile is my greatest joy.
Signum: I understand, I'm sorry to have troubled you.
(shamal: This black tea bath, it actually has black tea in it?)
(Hayate: It seems like it.)
Hayate: Don't be, if you truly believe I'm your master, you should just believe in me.
(viita: Oi Hayate, what's this? What's this?)
(Hayate: That's um, an ?something?)
Signum: Yes, I believe you, my master.
Shamal: But it seems like so much fun
Viita: It sure does.
Hayate: So, you should come too Signum.
Signum: I understand, I humbly accept your kindness
Viita+Shamal: Yeah!
Hayate: Zafira, you should come too. You could use your human form and wear normal clothes.
Zafira: Thank you for inviting me but I wish to be left behind to watch over the hosue.
Hayate: Really?
Zafira: Someone has to watch over the evening meal as well.
Viita: Oh yeah, Zafira's never really liked baths.
Hayate: Oh I see. Well, even if we all went, Zafira would end up alone on the men's side. Sorry about tonight, Zafira will look after the house then.
Zafira: As you wish.
Hayate: Okay everyone grab a change of clothes and a towel, it's time to get ready to head to the bath house!
Shamal+viita: Yeah!
Signum: Shamal, could you take care of my things as well?
Shamal: Okay.
Viita: I'm going to bring my bubble maker!
Shamal: (can't hear what Shamal's says)
Viita: Bubbles!
Zafira: So our master convinced/asked you to come?
Signum: Yes, but I wonder why. I feel ashamed/embarrassed but strangely my heart feels warm too.
Zafira: Perhaps this is how a true master and servant bond is supposed to feel/be.
Signum: Perhaps...
Zafira: I'm sure you feel uneasy but resting the body and mind is part of battle also. For now, it's best to enjoy relaxing with our Master.
Signum: You should get some sleep as well. We'll departing late at night again.
Zafira: I understand.
Shamal: Signum, we're ready!
Signum: Okay, I'm coming.

10. Hayate & Shugo Kishi Ichidou ~ Nuidara Sugoindesu
Hayate & the Guardian Knights ~ After taking it off, it's impressive

Shamal: Excuse me, pardon me.
Vita: Hm, there changing room... guess it's here.
Hayate: Woah, amazing. It's beautiful.
Vita: It's huge. Beautiful. COOL!
Signum: Even with a wheelchair we got in very smoothily.
Shamal: All the levels have inclines. There's supposed to be a place to store wheelchairs around here, oh there it is.
Vita: Hey you're right.
Hayate: Nice and barrier free. As expected from the renovations.
Vita: Hm, where are our lockers
Shamal: Me and Hayate-chan are over here. Vita and Signum are on the other side.
Signum: Got it.
Shamal: Hayate-chan, do you want me to help you?
Hayate: It's all right, I can do it myself.
Vita: Heh, lets hurry up and get in.
Signum: Hey, we're not at home. Don't throw your clothes off like that.
Vita: It's okay, I'll pick them up latter.
Signum: I'm telling to you to act with some manners in public.
Vita: Man, our leader is so grouchy (annoying/nitpicky).
Signum: I am only telling to correct your attitude. Not to mention you have some slovenly habits.
Vita: Man, stop nagging me! (pin prickingly nitpicky)
Signum: Then don't do things to make me nag you.
Vita: Don't get so conceited just because you got big boobs.
Signum: What the... Where did that come from.
Vita: I'm saying the bigger your breasts get the smaller your heart becomes! You boob demon!
Signum: Boob?! Why you little! Know your place! I'll soak Laevatein with your blood!
Vita: What was that!? You want to be turned into a stubborn stain on Graf Eisen huh!?

Hayate: Hey, stop! Stop! Children who fight won't get dessert after dinner.
Vita: But, this boob demon started...
Signum: Whose a boob demon! WHO!
Shamal: Signum stop. You're shouting while half undressed. It's embarassing.
Hayate: And you too Vita, your completely naked, its embarassing.
Vita: I don't particularly...
Hayate: You can't fight over something so trivial. Apologize to each other and make up.
Vita: I'm sorry for treating our Leader as an idiot. Sorry.
Signum: I, too, apologize for being so petty despite being an adult. I'm sorry.
Shamal: Now they've made up.
Hayate: A happy end.
Signum: Anyways, don't go around naked. Wrap a towel around you.
Vita: Right right.
Shamal: Hurry up and get undressed too Signum. Let's go in together.
Hayate: Still, even I'm quite jealous of Signum's assets.
Signum: Wha!
Vita: Oh, she's hiding them.
Signum: Y-yours, um... are just starting to grow.
Hayate: Well, that might be so. Shamal's also have a nice feel to them too.
Shamal: Uffuun!
Hayate: What's with Signum anyways? (bad translation)
Shamal: To be truthful, she has this subtle sense of defeat and persecution complex for the longest time. (Bad translation)
Signum: Wha... Er... Shamal! You!
Hayate: She does, doesn't she? I kind of want to touch them too but...
Shamal: Why don't you just ask her?
Hayate: Yeah but if I ask her to 'let me touch you a bit'. She'll just turn red and act as if she's about to commit suicide (seppuku) as she carefully puts both her arms behind her back, close her eyes and say, 'please go ahead'.
Vita: Oh, I could imagine that.
Shamal: Oh Hayate-chan, you truly do understand us, don't you.
Hayate: Yeah, that's why I won't ask you, okay Signum?
Signum: Um, er... Thank you very much?
Vita: What's with the doubtful tone?
Shamal: Come on Signum, hurry up.
Signum: Um, yeah.
Hayate: Well to tell you the truth, when we sleep together I secretly feel her up. (O_O;, jeez Hayate. Should Signum start worrying about her virtue now?)
Vita: Oh, that sounds nice. I think I'll try it next. How does Signum feel?
Hayate: How do I say? She's all soft and squishy.
Vita: Oh...
Signum: I feel strangely embarassed...
Shamal: It's just your imagination.

11. Ofuro de Kutsurogi Time!
Relaxing at the bath Time!

Amy: Hahaha! Oh this feels great!
Miyuki: Tell me about it, it really hits the spot.
Amy: Oh yeah, Miyuki-chan is a sporty person. Even though I'm just just a desk jockey, sometimes my back get's really stiff.
Miyuki: Oh, I know a great stretch for people who sit all day. I'll show you it latter.
Amy: Really? Thanks.
Miyuki: Yeah.
Amy: But anyways...
Both: This feels great~!

Arissa: This bubble bath looks pretty nice but it's a bit busy though... there must be some space open... Oh, I found it at last.

Arissa: I came with my friends and my friends' sisters.
Viita: I see.
Arissa: This bath feels great.
Viita: Yeah, it does.
Both: Ah~...

Shamal: Hayate-chan, is it too hot?
Hayate: No, I'm fine. Wow, this feels great.
Signum: Are you all right? Please come this way.
Shamal: I guess we'll go in too.
Hayate: Ha...
Shamal: The water is great.
Signum: Yeah, it is.
Hayate: Yes, it is.
Shamal: But it seems there's a lot of steam here, if we go a bit to the east it would be better. (bad translation)
Hayate: This just fine, it adds to the atmosphere.
Signum: Agreed.
Hayate: Oh Signum, outside there's a petite rotenburo because it's an open bath you can watch the sky there while taking a dip.
Signum: That is a wonderful
Hayate: Could you carry me there latter?
Signum: Of course, your wish is my command.

Suzuka: Oh dear, where is everyone?
Arissa: Okay, bye bye.
Viita: Yeah.
Suzuka: Arissa-chan!
Arissa: Suzuka-chan!
Suzuka: Were you talking to someone?
Arissa: Yeah, there was this really cute little girl, so I started chatting to her.
Suzuka: I see.
Arissa: Where is Nanoha and Fate? I thought we should go to the jet baths together.
Suzuka: Yeah, I was looking for them as well.
Arissa: Oh hey, there they are!
Suzuka: Um...

Fate: It's amazing that there's such a large bath here.
Nanoha: Even in this world, people of this particular country love taking baths. Oh, Fate-chan I'll wash your back.
Fate: Really?
Nanoha: Of course, washing each other is the best part about bathing together.
Fate: I... I see, please be gentle with me then...
Nanoha: What? Oh right, I heard from Arf-san and Amy-san that you have a hard time washing your hair alone.
Fate: No... Um...It's not that I can't do it... It's just that I can't keep my eyes open...
Nanoha: Ehehehe. I'll wash it for you afterwards then.
Fate: Y... yeah.
Nanoha: Wow, Fate-chan's skin is so beautiful. It's so smooth...
Fate: Um, er... Thank you, Nanoha...

Arissa: Gah, what is with those two? It's as if nothing can embarass them any more.
Suzuka: I guess we should leave those two alone for now.
Arissa: For now, latter on I'm going drag those two away from each other.
Suzuka: Well until then, why don't we go to the arsenic? sauna then. (... I've seen trace radioactive baths in japan... but still arsenic saunas?)
Arissa: Yeah!

Title: Pimp Sergay's Fairy Tales
Rating: PG
Summary: I don't know what brought this on at all. Not at all. Incomplete

Pimp Sergay’s Fairy Tale

Once upon a time in Hells Kitchencounter, there lived a Princess. That Princess's name was Nao (don't you dare call her Juliette, you skanky mofo) and all was semi-legally good. That was still a grey area.

Nao, Princess of the Striped Gang, had a good life. By day she blackmailed her fellow university students. By night she terrorized stupid gang bangers and taunted uptight cops. Occasionally, for a little variety, she would taunt politicians by robbing their homes.

What you say? That's not semi-legal or even a grey zone in morals but pure blatant law breaking? Here, let me show you the law that allows such a grey zone and semi-legalness

It's name is baretta and this is his big brother 12 gauge shotgun.

Now shut your pie hole.

Anways, where was I?

Oh yes, Princess Nao lead a good life. Pull of piety to the Church of Violence and easy money.

Unfortunately, easy sex was another matter differently. For you see Princess Nao was in rampant lust with a certain cop…

Now what? You think that the correct word is ‘love’? Tell me, my fine young man, have you ever seen the lady that Princess Nao was in lust with?

Here let me show you a picture of object of lust trying to hitchhike.

Hey! Hey! Stop bleeding on me, you stupid bastard. My pimp suit is dry clean only!

Anways, yes. Princess Nao was in rampant lust of a certain cop by the name of Officer Natsuki “the Kruger” Kuga. The most bad ass biker cop and extreme proponent of police brutality on the resident’s of Hells Kitchencounter.

Every time The Kruger went a patrolling, blood and broken bodies were left in her wake.

Needless to say, it was love at first sight.

Now what? You think The Kruger is just a psycho cop and Princess Nao has issues for being attracted to such an individual?

You, boy, don’t get out much do you?

Now as much as extreme violence and good looks piques the interest of our Princess, she is in not a masochist. Thus had to admire her object of lust from afar.

Princess Nao would have contented in stalking her Kuga, taking inappropriate pictures of her, spying on her in the shower and all assorted stalkery things when...

Mob Boss Shizuru "The Maiden" Fujino of the Fuuka Consortium took notice of The Kruger. Business was constantly being disrupted by the violence of Officer Kuga and the meticulous detective work of the Windbloom precinct.

At first Boss Fujino was not amused. Until she discovered the bevy of beauties working the Windbloom precinct in Hells Kitchencounter. We had The Kruger, of course, but behind the scenes we had Detective Midori “17 years old” Sugiura, a fine foxy red haired woman with a very large axe. Officer Haruka “Armageddon” Armitage, wonderfully well endowed but the second most violent police officer of Hells Kitchencounter.

Oh yeah and there’s Officer Takeda “Hard Luck” Musashi, a man with a very nice sword, if you know what I mean, but rather forgettable. Stuck in a Precinct of luscious beautiful women, it’s a wonder the poor guy hasn’t offed himself.

Naturally, The Maiden desired to have them all under her control and in her bed. Well except for Takeda, she would have to arrange an appropriate bloody end for him.

Tis a damn shame. I could use a nice big boy like Takeda, lots of men like to pay dough for a muscle boy toy.

Anyways, Princess Nao caught wind of Boss Fujino’s dastardly plans and various toys to be used on Officer Natsuki. She was seriously turned on and rather miffed some of plans that Boss Fujino had were things she never thought up and fantasized by herself.

I am smart?

The Chummy Four's After School Time

Nanoha: When the bell chimes at the end of class. Our time in school ends for the day
Arissa: Man, I was sleepy.
Suzuka: You looked liked you were dozing a bit, Arissa-chan.
Arissa: But I'm really bored. And since my seat is right by the windows, it's nicely warmed by the sun.
Nanoha: I am Takamichi Nanoha, a third year student of elementary. Up until my this year's spring, my two friends from 1st year; Arissa-chan and Suzuka-chan. I enjoyed a normal life with them, but recently due to certain events, my life has changed a small bit. But the biggest change in my life is...

Nanoha: After school, all four of us are together.
Suzuka: Fate-chan, have you finally gotten used to school yet?
Fate: I guess, a bit.
Arissa: But you seem to be talking to a lot of people in class normally.
Fate: Everyone's so nice. I'm happy that they come to talk to me.
Arissa: Hee hee, and because of your "super play" at phys. ed. your popularity with the guys is sky high.
Fate: Um, that's um... that wasn't all too 'super'...
Arissa: Fate-chan, weren't you asked by the guys to play soccer?
Fate: Yeah, just for a bit, but soccer is hard.
Suzuka: Soccer is really popular among the guys, I'm sure if you ask one of them, they'll be happy to teach you.
Fate: Um, playing outside is great and all but I would much rather spend my time with Suzuka, Arissa and Nanoha together.
Nanoha: Right.
Suzuka: Thank you Fate-chan.
Nanoha: Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha Ace. Sound stage 01. Number 3.5 is "Occasionally the Baths is a Burning Battlefield"

02 Yami no Sho no Nushi to Shugo Kishi no Gogo.mp3
The Master of the Book of Darkness and her Guardian Knights' Afternoon.

Viita: Whoa... What a huge car...
Hayate: Yes it is. It's a cadillac limousine
Viita: A carriage relax?
Hayate: Something sort of like that. Oh, the light turned green. Viita.
Viita: Okay, Hayate ready to launch!
Hayate: Let's go!

(random kids)
Wait up!
Wait up!
What did you say?!

Viita: Oh, it's time to go back home from elementary school. They're as loud as I expected.
Hayate: It's good that they're all so cheerful.
Viita: That white school uniform.... It's that one... the one that girl was wearing in that picture you showed me...
Hayate: Oh, you mean Suzuka-chan's school uniform.
Viita: Yeah.
Hayate: Hey Viita, are you interested in going to school?
Viita: Huh? No, not in particularly.
Hayate: Hmm... Viita should be around 1st grade. You wearing a school uniform would be so cute.
Viita: I, um, I'm not so good with cute. Oh, there's Signum.
Hayate: Oh, you're right. Hey Signum~!
Signum: Yes?

Hayate: Thanks for bringing over the shopping cart.
Signum: No problem, I am merely helping Shamal.
Viita: We're going shopping before we're going home right? Hayate, can we buy ice cream?
Hayate: Okay, but we're not buying the large size ones. We don't want Viita to overeat and have a stomachache again.
Viita: Urg, using a person's past trauma against them...
Signum: Oh yes, before you were in the middle of discussing something.
Hayate: Oh, you must mean about school.
Viita: Hey, that's is meaningless conversation.
Signum: School... Dr. Ishida did say that once your legs got a bit better, you would be able to return to school
Hayate: That's sounds like something that Dr. Ishida would say. I personally don't really care if I go or not go to school.
Viita: Really?
Hayate: Yup, if I am not around the house, I can't keep an eye on you guys.
Signum: I'm sorry, thank you for looking out for us.
Viita: We're thankful.
Hayate: Hee, hee. As Master of the Book of Darkness and the Volkenritter, it's my expected duty.

Shamal: Welcome home Hayate-chan.
Hayate: I'm home, Shamal.
Viita: Here's the groceries.
Shamal: Okay, thanks Viita-chan.
Signum: Excuse me for a moment, Master Hayate.
Hayate: Okay.

(Signum picking up Hayate)

Hayate: Heh, being held/picked up by Signum feels really nice.
Signum: I see...
Shamal: Hayate-chan? Me holding you, isn't good at all?
Hayate: Don't be silly Shamal. Your hugs/Being held by you is quite nice.
Shamal: Heh, Yeah!
Viita: Whose better?
Hayate: Hm... I wonder who indeed.
Signum: Is the living room all right?
Hayate: Yes it is.
I, Yagami Hayate, was until now was a clumsy, normal third grade girl. But on my birthday an unexpected brilliant event made me Master of the Book of Darkness
Viita: This strawberry ice cream is mine! Don't you touch it.
Shamal: Don't worry, I like vanilla more than strawberry.
Signum: Write your name on it. No one will mistaken it then.
Hayate: Hahaha, Zafira, I'm back!
I, as Master of the book and the four cloud knights, am protecting the happy life we have now.
Shamal: Well now. Viita-can can you wipe the wheels of the wheelchair?
Viita: Roger.
Hayate: Thanks a lot Viita.
Viita: I'll clean it right away and bring it over, all right?
Shamal: Shikuwani. Daikon. Konbu in setsumade. Tonight is oden isn't it?
Hayate: Yup, you're right.
Signum: That's sounds good.
Hayate: I'm going stew it right and make it tasty. It's going to be great.
Signum: Yes.
Shamal: Here, let me help.
Hayate: Sometimes it's really difficult but every day together is wonderful.

Track 4
Nanoha and Fate Return Home

Everyone: Wow!
Arisa: Oh, that was so cool! When I grow up, I should become a gun man.
Suzuka: That again Arisa-chan?
Arisa: It's easier than doing homework.
Fate: It sounds like it would suit you Arisa.
Arisa: It does, doesn't it?
Suzuka: Oh we still have some left. Why don't we play a video game?
Nanoha: Yeah.
Fate: Sounds good.
Arisa: What should we play?
Nanoha: A fighting game of course! (So bloody minded eh?)
Fate: I won't lose, even though I have no confidence... (Fate is obviously recalling the Takamichi Nanoha patented 'making friends' approach)
Suzuka: Yeah, Nanoha's so strong at fighting games.
Arisa: You've got to fight at half strength only.
Nanoha: What! Why? Why?

Nanoha: Then when it became time to go home, they give us a drive back to our neighbourhood where Fate-chan and I live close by.
Arisa: See you tomorrow at school!
Suzuka: Bye bye, Fate-chan. Nanoha-chan
Arisa: Bye bye
Nanoha: See you tomorrow. It's become a habit to have dinner at each other's house. Today it's Fate-chan house's turn.

Fate: I'm home!
Nanoha: Sorry to bother you! Oh, is Ami and everyone not here today?
Fate: Yeah, Admiral Lindy and Chrono are at headquarters. And Ami is at Alex's place.
Nanoha: Oh I see. Yes, though me and Fate-chan seem like typical normal 3rd graders but currently we are working together with the Space Time administration bureau as mages involved in a certain serious situation. The Burea's commander in chief Lindy-san and Chrono-kun are very busy with work. And Fate-chan's precious partner and our devices are...
Fate: I wonder if Yuuno and Arf are doing all right.
Nanoha: Hm. And I wonder about Raging Heart and Bardiche too. The current case involving the Book of Darkness has only started recently (gah!! TOO complicated! Talk like a normal 3rd grader!!! Warning: Really bad translation). The time space administration was only legally allowed to move after I was attacked. The dangerous lost logia Book of Darkness and the four guardian knights protecting it was responsible for the attack and damaged my staff, Raging Heart. And stole some of my magic power. They also hurt Fate-chan when she went to rescue me. And Bardiche got damaged too.
Fate: But I'm sure they're all right. Yuuno knows a lot about devices. Not to mention Bardiche and Raging Heart are really strong children. Until Nanoha's magic returns, I will protect you, Nanoha.
Nanoha: Fate-chan...
Fate: Er, even if you're magic does return I will keep on protecting you, of course.
Nanoha: Thank you, Fate-chan. Ah, I wonder when my magic will return? Me and Raging Heart were practicing some new magic spells before this, we were close to perfecting it.
Fate: Really?
Nanoha: Yeah. Raging Heart always gives me advice. Always encouraging me. (bad translation)
Fate: That's nice. Raging Heart is so talkative. Bardiche is such a silent/taciturn child and it's so unreasonable/reckless. Even when I ask if it's all right, all it says is "yes sir".
Nanoha: Bardiche is like that.
Fate: It would be great if the two of them would get better and come back...
Nanoha: Yeah... Hey Fate-chan... Let's try to get stronger, okay.
Fate: Nanoha...
Nanoha: We won't make Yuuno-kun or Arf-san anxious any more... Or make Lindy-san and Chrono-kun, even Ami-san and the others worry any more. So that Raging Heart and Bardiche don't have to be so reckless any more... because we're so strong.
Fate: Hm...
Nanoha: Let's get strong together. So much so that no one has to get hurt anymore...
Fate: Yeah, I guess then we should do some light training. How about it, Nanoha?
Nanoha: Yeah...

06 Fate no Ketsudan...?
Fate's Decision...?

Nanoha: And now...
Fate: Oh no... I guess I'm no good with this move...
Nanoha: Heh! Victory!
Fate: Gr... One more time, this time I won't lose!
Nanoha: Okay.
Fate: Oh, Nanoha, don't you have to go home soon?
Nanoha: My parents told me that since it's Fate-chan's place, they don't worry at all.
Fate: I see, let's continue for alittle while more then...
Nanoha: Wha... Oh, it's Lindy-san. Hello, it's Nanoha. Huh. Yes. She's with me. We're training on the condominium's roof top. Okay, I'll let her talk to you. Fate-chan, it's Lindy-san.
Fate: Oh, I see. This is Fate. Yes, I'm fine. Yes... Okay, I'll ask her. Nanoha, the commander is going out to eat tonight, she wants to know if you want to join us.
Nanoha: Really.
Fate: If you want, the commander will call your parents for you to get permission.
Nanoha: Okay then, I'll go!
Fate: Hello? It looks like she can come. Yes. Yes. I see. I understand. Okay. I'll see you then. The commander and Chrono will come home soon. So she said we should take a bath.

Fate: The water temperature is good. Nanoha you can take a bath first.
Nanoha: I couldn't... it's your house so you should go in first, Fate-chan...
Fate: Ah... Um you really should go in first, Nanoha...
Nanoha: Oh no, I couldn't, Fate-chan should...
Fate: No, really...
Both: Nervous laugh
Fate: I guess the only way to solve this... Okay, Nanoha. Then let's take a bath together.
Nanoha: Oh, that sounds like a good idea Fate-chan.
Fate: Is probably the best way to go about things but... I've only taken a bath with Ami before, but what will I do if the people of this world thinks that's weird..
Nanoha: Fate-chan? ... Fa~te~chan~?
Fate: If that makes Nanoha-chan feel uncomfortable... What will I do? But... I made up my mind to properly tell her how I feel with words...
Nanoha: Fa~te~chan~?
Fate: I guess I'm just going to call up my courage and... Nanoha...
Nanoha: Yes?
Fate: Um... Well... if you don't mind... Um... Um...
Ami: I'm home!
Nanoha: Oh it's Ami-san.

07. Let's go! Super Sentou

Ami: Oh, Nanoha-chan. Welcome.
Nanoha: Sorry to bother you.
Ami: I'm back, Fate-chan.
Fate: Um... Welcome back... Ami.
Ami: What's wrong Fate-chan? Your face is all red.
Fate: Um, nothing. It's nothing.
Ami: Oh you're wearing bathrobes. Have you both taken a bath yet?
Nanoha: No, we were thinking of going in right now.
Ami: Oh great, good timing! Good timing over here too.
Miyuki: Hi! Sorry to intrude!
Nanoha: Onee-chan?
Fate: Miyuki-san?
Ami: Welcome, Miyuki-chan!
Miyuki: Ami, thanks for inviting me. (in japanese lit. I'm going to bother you.)
Nanoha: Huh? Huh? Ami-san, Onee-chan, when did you become such good friends?
Ami: Oh you know, if the younger siblings are good friends, the older siblings should be friends too. Right?
Miyuki: Heh heh. Yup, though this is the first time we've ever met to do something together.
Nanoha: Really?
Ami: Here! Miyuki-chan informed me about this.
Nanoha: Luminary Sparkle Pool. (ruminari suparakuu) Opening?
Miyuki: In other words, this is place where everyone gets into a big bath together. A big bath, or a bubble bath and lots of other fun baths.
Fate: I see.
Ami: I guess the easiest thing to call it is a 'Super Public Bath'. (Did I translate track 1 wrong?...)
Fate: I understand.
Nanoha: Wow, they actually built something like this.
Ami: So Miyuki and I thought about going. I just came back to get a change of clothing.
Miyuki: You want to come with us, Nanoha-chan?
Nanoha: Wow, really?
Ami: You too, Fate-chan.
Nanoha: Fate-chan! Let's go! Let's go!
Fate: Er... Um... Sure.
Miyuki: All right, it's all decided now.
Nanoha: Can I go and ask Suzuka and Arissa too?
Miyuki: Sure.
Ami: Now that that's done. Let's get ready!
Nanoha + Fate: Okay!

09 Nanoha & Fate Ichidou Sentou Taisei.mp3
09 Nanoha & Fate's Everyone's Bath Preparation.

Fate: It's amazing...
Arissa: As expected from the new renovations, it's really nice.
Nanoha: Yeah.
Ami: Hey now everyone. We've finally come, so let's hurry up and enjoy it.
Miyuki: Here's the locker key.
Kids: OKAY!
Ami: Uwa! This is so great!
Miyuki: Heh, you really like baths, don't you Ami.
Ami: When I slip in and rest my back on the tiles, I think to myself this is the life!
Miyuki: Oh I know what your saying!
Ami: I know. When I'm home I always go for one long bath.
Miyuki: I see, I see.
Ami: Oh, Miyuki-chan, how long can you endure a bath?
Miyuki: Hm, about 2 hours? Oh, but if I'm with my family at the onsen, we get in and out of the baths. I could go on for an entire day with them.
Ami: That sounds so wonderful. Amongst my friends though, it seems a lot of them get in and out really quick. Back at home, Chrono is really quick.
Miyuki: Our Kyou-chan is exactly the same!
Ami: Really? He's like, scrub scrub, splash, okay, I'm done!
Miyuki: The same with Kyou-chan. Why are guys like that, I wonder?
Nanoha: Ami-san and onee-chan just met today right?
Suzuka: Um, but it looks like they've known each other for a long as friends though. The older sisters are a good match.
Nanoha: Yeah. Oh this is the first time I've been to baths with Fate-chan, isn't it?
Fate: Oh, um, so it is.
Nanoha: What's wrong? Are you nervous/embarassed?
Fate: I might be... I think I might be.
Nanoha: It's all right, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Fate: Nn.
Nanoha: We're here together, okay.
Fate: Nn. Thanks a lot Nanoha.
Arissa: Oh great, they're acting lovey dovey/touchy feely again (beta beta).
Suzuka: Everyone get's along together so well.
Ami: Okay everyone, we split up here.
Miyuki: When it's time to go home, me and Ami will look for you guys, okay? So go off and play.
Kids; Okay
Ami: Okay Miyuki-chan! Let's go!
Miyuki: YEAH!
Fate: Wow, those two really dashed out on us.
Nanoha: Let's hurry up and get in too!

12. Amy & Miyuki, Chotto Hitoyasumi
Amy & Miyuki, taking a small break.

Miyuki: Amy, the rotenburo (outside bath) is next.
Amy: Oh that sounds great... but Miyuki-chan wait a sec. I feel a bit...
Miyuki: Oh my, are you all right?
Amy: Oh I'm fine, I'm fine.
Miyuki: Let's go to take a break outside.

Amy: Oh man, all the desk work has wrecked havoc with my endurance. It was never like this in university.
Miyuki: Oh yeah, Amy is working in the real world now.
Amy: As a communication officer (administrator)~!
Miyuki: Impressive. I'm just living a carefree life with my parents.
Amy: But you're helping out at your family business right? I had something I always wanted to work as, and just happened to find a way to get it. There wasn't anything particular that I needed to learn to get it, so I just got it.
Miyuki: I see. Are you doing well in the job you love?
Amy: Hm, yeah. It's a hard job but I think I'm happy with it. Talking about work, sorry about dragging away Nanoha all the time.
Miyuki: Oh that. Don't worry about it, I don't know what she's doing but when she's with you and Fate-chan she seems really happy. It looks like she found something she really wants to do.
Amy: Yeah, Nanoha-chan has a lot talent.
Miyuki: I see.
Amy: I hope that Nanoha-chan will continue being good friends with our Fate-chan. Fate-chan's like a little sister to me already.
Miyuki: Whoa wait a second here. Fate-chan is Chrono-kun's little sister but you're not Chrono-kun's older sister... right?
Amy: You got it mostly right but there's a strange nuance to it. Wait, I'll draw out a map/picture to explain.
Miyuki: A picture?

13 Suzuka & Hayate Souguu.mp3
Suzuka and Hayate encounter each other.

Suzuka: I think I'll go buy a drink for myself.
Signum: Let's see... where shall we go next?
Shamal: Our last choice to end the visit should be the outdoor onsen/spring/bath.
Viita: How about the sauna?
Hayate: Hm, let's see.
Suzuka: Huh, Hayate-chan?
Hayate: Oh Suzuka-chan! I'll introduce you. This is the youngest child Viita.
Viita: Um, er... I'm Viita. Nice to meet you.
Suzuka: Good evening, I'm Tsukimura Suzuka. Nice to meet you too, Viita-chan.
Viita: Yeah.
Suzuka: Good evening to you too, Signum-san, Shamal-san.
Signum: Yes.
Shamal: Is Suzuka-chan here with someone too?
Suzuka: Yes I am.
Hayate: Oh, what a wonderful coincidence. It feels like it was almost fated.
Suzuka: It really is amazing
Hayate: Oh Suzuka-chan. Do you have any plans after this? If not, let's have dinner together?
Suzuka: Oh. I'm here with a friend's family and we plan to go out and eat together. Would you like to come with us?
Hayate: Oh sorry. We already dinner ready.
Viita: We have oden waiting in the pot!
Suzuka: How nice, Oden.
Shamal: A pot of deliciousness.
Hayate: I guess next time then.
Signum: Sometime in the near future.
Suzuka: Oh, I can go any other time, please call me.
Viita: Hayate's onabe is really delicious!
Hayate: Viita! Don't put pressure on me!
Suzuka: Oh, I'm sorry. Making you all stand while we talk. Um, sorry Signum-san.
Signum: It is nothing to be concerned of.
Hayate: I guess I shouldn't keep you here if you're with friends. When I get home, I'll send you an email.
Suzuka: Right, I'll introduce you to my friends properly next time.
Hayate: I look forward to it.
Shamal: Okay, see you latter Suzuka-chan.
Signum: Please escuse us.
Viita: See ya.
Hayate: Until next time.
Suzuka: Okay!

14 Nanoha and Fate's Lovelove Araikko

Arisa: Suzuka-chan!
Suzuka: Arisa-chan.
Arisa: Is this someone you know?
Suzuka: Yup, she's that girl I mentioned before, Hayate-chan!
Arisa: Oh, nuts. If I came a bit earlier, you could have introduced me to her.
Suzuka: Heh, but introducing you to her in a bath is rather strange. Some other time in the future.
Arisa: Yeah, you're right. You know, I can't see Nanoha or Fate any where. Where are they? I want to get into the bath soon with everyone.
Suzuka: Oh, I think they went to different washing area just a moment ago. Um, oh you know over there.
Arisa: What?! Those two are still at it?! (... Arisa that just sounds so... wrong) Really!
Suzuka: Arisa-chan? What are you going to do with that washing pail?
Arisa: I'm going to do this!
Fate: Nanoha? Are you all right? Is it too ticklish?
Nanoha: (hehehhe) Only a little.
Fate: Um, how about this?
Nanoha: Yeah, it feels nice.
Fate: Okay, then this way.
Nanoha; This feels good, I feel happy.
Fate: I'm glad.
Arisa: Okay, there is no one to interefere. Target: Lock on! And a one and a two!
Suzuka: Fate-chan, Nanoha-chan... Run away!
Fate & Nanoha: AH!
Arisa: Direct hit!
Fate: Arisa?
Nanoha: Arisa-chan?
Arisa: Really, how long are you going to wash each other?
Suzuka: Arisa-chan wants to enter the other baths as soon as possible with everyone.
Nanoha: Eh heh... Sorry...
Fate: Sorry Arisa, I was, um...
Arisa: Really. You two live in the same neighbourhood, you can wash each other every night with your parents permission at your houses! We went through all this trouble to come to Sparkle Spa, we have to all sorts of fun here!
Nanoha: Yeah, you're right.
Fate: Every night?
Nanoha: We shouldn't have comprised, we should have went in together.
Fate: Yeah.
Nanoha: So after practice let's take a bath together at either my place or yours.
Fate: Okay.
Arisa: Oh yea, Fate-chan. I heard from Ami alittle while ago but I heard you can't wash your hair on your own?
Fate: Ami, why did you tell everyone?
Suzuka: Well, Fate-chan's hair is really long.
Fate: It's not that I don't want to wash it. That's the truth okay?

15 Sorezore no Ieji.mp3
Each respective groups return home.

Random guy: Thank you for coming!
Miyuki: That was great.
Nanoha: It was great.
Suzuka: Yes, it was~!
Fate: Um, Amy where were we supposed to met up at?
Amy: It's at that place infront of the station. Um, checking the map.
Miyuki: I know the station area well, I'll show you.
Amy: Thanks alot Yuki.

Viita: The bath was fun and I got warmed up... But I'm really hungry.
Hayate: Zafira and warm oden is waiting at home.
Viita: Um.
Hayate: I think we have some shimeyou oden... And some rice left I think.
Viita: Alright! I'll eat it all.
Shamal: Viita-chan...
Signum: Being so greedy is unbecoming of a Knight...
Viita: Shut up!
Hayate: But being all together tonight is wonderful. Eating dinner together, relaxing together, going to bed together... It's such a nice family-like life.
Shamal: Now and from here on end, we're going to live together forever.

16. Nanoha & Fate, Chiisana Ketsui
Nanoha & Fate's small resolution.

Nanoha: Mmm, it's great that I got to stay at Fate-chan's place tonight. It's so much easier to get out and have night practice
Fate: Yeah, getting a place to practice outside without worries is hard.
Ami: Okay, you guys can practice now!
Fate: Thank you Ami.
Ami: Nanoha-chan, you might have gotten your magic back now but you shouldn't push yourself.
Nanoha: Okay. But today was fun too.
Fate: It looks like Raging Heart and Bardiche, Yuuno and Arf are coming back earlier than expected.
Nanoha: It looks like things are going start from here on. Let's do our best without holding back, Fate-chan!
Fate: Yeah, let's get stronger together. Stronger than yesterday, stronger from here on now.

17 Shamal Omou.mp3
Shamal's Feelings

Shamal: Here are the cartridges. Signum and Viita each have about 6 each.
Viita: Hm.
Shamal: I'll make them again as soon as possible. So don't hold back, use them all.
Signum: Right.
Zafira: Very well Shamal, please remain behind.
Shamal: Right... Everyone, take care of yourself.
Signum: We'll return before dawn.
Viita: We're going now.
Shamal: Hayate-chan, you'll catch a cold like that.
During these happy times. I feel that in our future, this won't ever happen again.
More precious than any treasure.
This life that Hayate-chan has given us. That's why were going to protect her.
This girl who gave us such a warm wonderful life.
No matter what sad fate threatens her, we will defeat it.
That is our vow/promise.
Good night... Our master.

Finally... the last pictures

2006-10-05T23:22:28Z

http://yurizuki.net/nagumo/

My camera was finally repaired and now I can put up the pics I took when I went to Matsuyama and Hiroshima.

Not much to say about it.

My batteries for my camera kept on dying on me but beyond that I took a nice number of pics. You can look at the folder Hiroshima and Matsuyama from above link.

Enjoy!

Next time I'll be putting up nice pics of Montreal or something.

Montreal, things of interest

2006-09-25T01:27:48Z

It's fall and the leaves are turning red, yellow and brown. Rather chill but not to the point I curse the cold.

As of late I've been holed up in my apartment or going to class rather than doing anything fun really. But yesterday and today I've finally been able to go out.

Last saturday night, I had some free time and I spent it debating whether I wanted to go to Le Mado for their drag show. But I've been there to see their drag queens do the same lip synch karaoke and I thought why not go to some where different.

I did a quick google search for some sort of events thing and discovered MeowMix. A lesbian event that takes place once every month at La Sala Rossa. 4848 St. Laurent (it was one hell of a walk to get there). They had drag kings, burlesue and comedy. It was great.

Other days are October 27, December 2, February 17, April 14, May 19 and August 6.

Because it's so far away though, I won't go to it in winter.

My favorite performance out of the bunch was the drag king Joey Hateley whose from England. She's performing something called A: Gender by TransAction Theatre Company. She actually rapped a modified Eminen rap song that was great.

There was also Jennifer Lanier who will perform none of the above. A solo comedy act.

The Burlesque act was relatively forgetable. Don't even remember who the performers were... There were two of them, but I wasn't interested.

Another good performance by Kimberly Dark who performed a small sampling of "stripped & teased: Scandalous stories with subversive subplots".

All these people will be performing at the Harvest Festival. Which according to this pamphlet i have says "the Montreal G.L.B.T. International Theatre Festival"

All performances are at Theatre Saint Catherine, 264 Ste_Catherine E. Metro Berri-UQAM.

There are other performers than these the guys listed above too.

Craiglist Casual relationship...

2006-09-15T17:18:18Z

There are somethings out there I just shouldn't bother to read.

I was trying to look for some short term mindless work to earn a couple of bucks on craiglist. Most the postings aren't jobs I can do with the time I have.

Bored and still unemployed, I went to the casual encouters thread for the first time to see what it was like. What struck me was the amount of couples asking to swap partners or have other people watch them, etc.

It was rather amusing, and the first thought that came into my mind was 'swingers'.

To prove that Montreal is indeed a perverted city, I decided to do a google search for 'montreal swinger'.

And lo, I discovered an association who has somehow convinced the courts that the swinger lifestyle does not harm society.

So... Swinger life style... is legal in Montreal.

I did not want to know that. Being from a conservative family of Japanese that entire idea of the swinger lifestyle is... offensive? Rankles my sense of decorum? Morals?

Well whatever it is, I wish I could remain ignorant of that little fact of Montreal.

...

Dear god, there's even a swinger club. I'll go to gay bars and lesbian bars, I'll go to strip bars with male or female strippers, I'll go to porn shops and adult videostores just for the sheer hell of it... but I have limits of what I can take in moral indecency (which is rather hypocritical I realize since I've probably gone to worse places compared to a swinger club). I will stay away from swinger clubs and transvestite bars.

No, do not ask me to go and see what it is like. I am not going...

Demonoid Invite Code...

2006-09-15T04:58:34Z

I only want to download one thing... Rifts RPG Coalition War Machine.

No other torrent site has Rifts RPG books.

Thus, I've been poking around trying to look for a free invite code.

The only reason why I want the rifts book is because my old copy is beaten the crap out of back in halifax. The other rifts books are in fair to great condition, but because fascist, magic hating human supremacists are so amusing I've been using that book more than any other world book. My group loved using the Coalition book and finding amusing ways to create characters on the run from them (with all the kewl Coalition lewt... didn't those idiots realize that's why they always got hunted down?!)

So yes... I am not the only desperate sucker in the universe trying to find an invite code.

If I ruled the world?...

2006-09-14T05:02:48Z

So there was a shooting... I thought my parents were just trying to piss me off...

2006-09-14T04:19:06Z

I am extremely uninformed as to what is happening today.

I called my father to get my mother's phone number in Japan. He surprised me by asking if I had heard about university students getting shot at. I ignored it and asked again for the phone number.

I called my mother in Japan to ask about how my rent is being payed because Jack DeCosta (landlord/maintence guy?) was demanding August and September's rent. I was annoyed by this rent problem. I was under the impression it was being paid automatically from my parents bank account.

So I call my mother and she starts blathering on about shootings and universities. I was getting annoyed at that point. I had read earlier, a few days ago, in the newspaper how 2 students died in a shooting incident somewhere in Montreal.

I thought she was talking about that 'shooting'. I annoyedly told my mother 'Mom... students do die in Montreal. Sort of like how seniors, terminally ill, homeless people, etc die.'

I couldn't tell for the life of me why that pissed my mother off.

Then I recieve numerous emails from people asking if I'm okay.

I was a little baffled. So I went to bbc and started reading...

I must sound like an incredibly coldhearted bitch, but I couldn't feel the terror of it all of something that close happening to me. I don't know where Dawson is, I've never heard of Dawson. I don't know anyone from Dawson, I also don't own a tv or a radio to keep me informed of such things happenings as they are happening. The most I do is grab a newspaper and read online news articles which are at least a day old.

There is a significant time lag in the way news catches up to me. I remember being in my room and being informed some 6 months latter about the explosions in Spain which literally vaporized Italian and Spainish investigators in a terror case. The apartment they were laying seige to had terrorists who decided they would take down as many people as possible down with them and set off a large explosion.

Or being informed a week after the fact about the London terror bombings.

I am not connected to 24/7 news. I don't go online for the sole purpose of reading the news. I don't play the radio late at night to see what CBC says. I read free newspapers in an attempt to save a dollar.

Thus I am ignorant of the world.

But that is not what is important.

There are 19 injured (1 dead) people in Montreal today. The shooter is also dead, killed by gunfire from the police.

Let our prayers and words of grief be with them

Return to Monteal

2006-09-08T04:07:12Z

I have returned to the land of poutine and easily angered gallic people... and of course to dear old McGill who has avalanched me with a lot of work in the first two days of my triumphant return to class. Actual serious classes where I have to work and can't nap in because I'll get screwed over by the course material.

First thing due is on Sept 19.

I think I went through a mild shock because of Japan's non existent pace of work.

I am also vaguely proud that I only managed to spend 450$ Canadian in the first seven days of september. Note that half that amount is books, and the rest is sundry stuff like a hammer, fan, curtains, curtain hook/holder, etc.

In other words, I have not gone clubbing or drinking despite frosh was happening right outside my door.

Crap.

Plenty of time to drink latter on. I'm hoping to spend sunday going around Montreal and taking lots of pictures of the churches here. I'll be spending the entire sunday walking and taking pictures hopefully.

Unless of course I get sidetracked by my gamer guild to play D&D with them.

Well time to sleep.

Finally translated all of it...

2006-09-02T17:55:43Z

Well, finally translated all of it at last.
Not a particularly exciting CD drama... and man those Yakuza are hard to translate. I'm not sure if I translated half of it correctly... Obviously, I need to watch more Yakuza films and learn the lingo...

Drama III:

Kouya: Yamato, if we just wonder around Shibuya like this, we won't find any jobs.
Yamato: Ah, let's eat some donuts!
Kouya: We just ate some hamburgers. If we don't find a job soon...
Yamato: Hey, hey! They have a job opening here! Wanna check it out, we can sell donuts together.
Kouya: No. Look at the pay rate, it's not enough to support the two of us.
Yamato: Kouya, you don't have to be so serious about this.
Kouya: Yamato's not being serious about this.
Yamato: I'm not saying that I'm not serious about it, it's just that...
Kouya: I want to show Nagisa-sensei what we can do by ourselves... No, Nagisa-sensei doesn't matter, I want to prove it to ourselves. A half-hearted attempt will get us no where.
Yamato: It's great how you feel about this and all. But I don't think there's that many good paying jobs for high school students out there.
Kouya: I guess we have no choice but to use our young bodies to earn a living.
Yamato: Eh!? What do you mean by that? You can't possibly mean...

Yamato: Kou~ya!
Kouya: What?
Yamato: I don't think... Heavy construction... is suited for high school girls.
Kouya: We're young, so we got to use our young bodies to earn a living. Yamato, you're not putting your back into it. This isn't so... The pay is high...
Yamato: If we die... We won't earn any pay... Ah~...
Kouya: Yamato... Yamato, get a hold of yourself!

Nagisa: What's going on? Where did they go? How dare they ignore me!
Ritsu: You're acting like a bear...
Nagisa: What?
Ritsu: I said, you're acting like a bear. You've circling the fountain repeatedly.
Nagisa: I can't contact my Zero-chans at all! They're not answering at all. What are those two doing?
Ritsu: A job (or Working.).
Nagisa: What?
Ritsu: A job (working). They said just awhile ago they were going to work.
Nagisa: What? When did they say that?
Ritsu: Hm... Yesterday... or was it last year?
Nagisa: Look Ritsu... Yesterday and last year are completely different! Really, those two. When they're so busy with school and training... It was Yamato wasn't it? She always talks about weird things. She's a bad influenced on Kouya. I wonder how I'll punish her...
Ritsu: Hm, wait a second here.
Nagisa: What? There's more?
Ritsu: I seem to recall that they asked me to keep this a secret... Or was it? Oh, um, don't pay attention to me
Nagisa: But I wonder what kind of job they're doing.

Yamato: Irrashaimase! Welcome!
Kouya: Irrashaimase... Welcome...
Yamato: I was right about the family restaurant. I always wanted to try a cute pink uniform.
Kouya: But.. the pay rate...
Yamato: Difficult jobs for novices are impossible~. Let's just start from easy jobs and work our way up.
Kouya: Um...
Yamato: Hey Kouya. Can I kiss you?
Kouya: Ah, here?
Yamato: Yup, because Kouya is sooo cute. Your glasses and ears match the uniform perfectly.
Kouya: Yamato too. It suits you...
Yamato: Then...
Kouya: Alright... but if someone sees us...
Yamato: But no one is watching... okay.
Manager: What are you talking about? The customers have come!
Yamato: Yes!
Kouya: (shit) We were so close...
Manager: Come on now. Say it! Say it!
Yamato: Okay! Irrashaimase! Welcome!
Kouya: Irrashaimase... Welcome...
Manager: Your voice is too quiet! One more time!
Kouya: Irrashaimase!... Welcome!...
Manager: What the hell was that? Really young girls these days... Hey Nakano-san, get out the menu and cold water for them!
Yamato: Yes... I'm going now!

Yamato: Irrashaimase! Welcome!
Ritsuka: Uh...
Seimei: Ritsuka, here's the menu.
Ritsuka: Um...
Seimei: You can order anything you like.
Ritsuka: But I don't know what I like...
Seimei: Look at the pictures and choose whatever you like to eat from them. At home, you always worry about Mom watching and never get eat what you want.
Ritsuka: Um... Even when I ate it, I couldn't tell what it tastes like.
Seimei: You don't have to worry about a thing today.
Ritsuka: ... Yea!...
Yamato: Um, when you're ready to place your order please call me.

Yamato: Hey, hey, Kouya!
Kouya: Hm, what?
Yamato: Check out the customers at the 3rd table. It's Aoyagi Seimei. He doesn't seem to recognize me at all.
Kouya: He's with a child.
Yamato: You think it's his? Oh, they raised their hands.
Kouya: I'll go.

Kouya: Are you ready to order?
Seimei: Yes... Ritsuka.
Ritsuka: Oh, um, Venetian style hamburger set with rice and a cola to drink.
Seimei: And for desert, please give Ritsuka the triple japanese style ice cream.
Ritsuka: Huh, really?
Seimei: Don't worry about it.
Kouya: And you sir?
Seimei: A darjeeling tea please.
Kouya: Is that all for orders? Would you like hot or ice tea?
Seimei: Hot.
Kouya: And the sir with the cola order.
Ritsuka: Um, er, then I'll with hot.
Kouya: My apologies, but we don't serve cola hot.
Ritsuka: Then don't ask!
Kouya: I understand.

Yamato: Well? How'd it go?
Kouya: They're related (father/son) all right. They look a bit alike.
Yamato: Whoa... huh, but Seimei still has his ears.
Kouya: Well that...
Yamato: Oh I get it, he's like Kouya. Well yeah, he acts way too calm/cool for a high school student with ears.

Punk1: Hey a customer's here! Get someone out here!
Yamato: Yes!

Drama IV

Yamato: Irrashaimase! Welcome! A table for two?
Punk1: Huh? Can't you tell if you look?
Punk2: Whoa little girl, you new? You're a cutie, wonder what if your wearing any panties. Let me see. Wha... Why'd you get out of the way?
Punk1: We're customers! Just stay still and let us have a look see.
Yamato: Dear customer, would you like to have a seat in the smoking section.
Punk2: Eh? What? Ain't it obvious! Non-smoking of course. I watching out for my health real careful.
Yamato: Please come this way.
Ritsuka: Seimei, a couple of really scary people just came in.
Seimei: Don't stare at them.
Ritsuka: Yeah.
Kouya: Sorry for the wait. For the customer who ordered Venetian Style hamburger set.
Seimei: Hey, that was pretty rough. The sauce spilled.
Kouya: Please enjoy your meal.
Ritsuka: Wow, it looks really delicious.

Yamato: Manager, those customers...
Punk1: Beer! Bring us a beer!
Manager: I know but please, just try not to anger them.
Yamato: What?
Manager: The truth is there's a company trying bump us off. They're hiring awful people like them to make things unpleasant. I'm just a normal restaurant manager so I can't do anything but endure it. (badly translated)
Kouya: Endure? What do you mean?
Manager: If they cause a ruckus, and the police are called. They'll use that against us! Those guys are looking for an excuse to go wild.
Punk1: Hurry up! What happened to our beer! Bring out quick!
Kouya: I'll get them their beer.
Yamato: Wait! Kouya, if the police get called, we'll be in trouble.
Kouya: I know.

Nagisa: Oh... it looks like a normal family restaurant.
Ritsu: Yeah, but this is just extra work. You don't have to come and inspect how they're doing while they're working.
Nagisa: My Zero-chans are ill-suited for this (war victims) (bad translation). I can't just leave them alone.
Yamato: Irrashaimase! Welcome!
Nagisa: What? Thats Yamato's voice.
Ritsu: Never mind that, what's with this get up? A sunglass wearing Priest (Father) and nun (sister).
Nagisa: With this our faces are hidden at least. Father Ritsu, it suits you very well.
Ritsu: It doesn't suit you at all.
Nagisa: Look Ritsu, we're...
Yamato: Irrashaimse. Table for two? Smoking or...
Nagisa: It's obvious. A steamship (or high and low) seat (bad translation).
Yamato: Huh?
Ritsu: No smoking please.
Yamato: Very well, I'll show you to your seats.
Ritsu: You, in the nun clothing, asking for a steamship (high and low) seat is strange (bad translation). You lack common sense.
Nagisa: I don't want hear that from you.

Kouya: Sorry for the wait.
Punk1: What's with this beer? It's not cold at all!
Kouya: That's not possible.
Punk1: Why don't you wear it over your head and see! See now? It's lukewarm.
Kouya: I see. Though I can't really tell.
Punk1: What'd you say?
Yamato: Kouya, what's wrong.
Kouya: Nothing.
Manager: Oh my, I'm very sorry honored customer. We'll immediately bring out a new beer for you. Hey, Sakagami-san go get changed... Nakano-san go get orders from the customers over there.
Yamato: But...
Manager: Hurry, go!

Nagisa: Those... bastards... How dare they do that to my Kouya!
Ritsu: Well, this is just another lesson of society... I know asking this now is a bit too late, why am I here with you again?
Nagisa: Why you! No, you know why! As soon as I said I'll treat you to dinner, you quietly came with me.
Yamato: Have you decided your orders?
Nagisa: Infinite refill of coffee for 2.
Ritsu: What happened to treating me to dinner?
Nagisa: Oh fine. Order away. What would you like? Some fries?
Ritsu: Hm... Chef's special choice of full course sirloin steak dinner
Nagisa: What is that? There's a menu for something like that? How much does it cost?!
Yamato: Are you ordering the same thing?
Nagisa: I said I'll have a infinite refill of coffee only.
Yamato: The coffee is over there in the corner. Please serve yourself any time you wish.
Nagisa: I... see...
Ritsu: Oh hoh.
Nagisa: What?
Ritsu: The table over there.
Nagisa: Huh. Hey, isn't that?

Seimei: Is your ice cream tasty?
Ritsuka: Yup!
Seimei: You can have more.
Ritsuka: Nope, my stomach's full. Thanks Seimei

Nagisa: Aoyagi Seimei... Hey, Ritsu why are you looking around.
Ritsu: Oh nothing, I'm just wondering if Soubi-kun is around.

Translation: Kouya and Yamato Character Drama CD #4, "Jobless"

2006-08-31T00:20:56Z

Just recently a new drama cd of loveless came out for the titular characters Yamato and Kouya.

Personally, I think Kio and Soubi together are much hotter and potentially less angst filled and ick filled. Sorry Ritsuka, age 10 more years and maybe I can accept you and Soubi together in some way.

I got this from some random link. Forgot where. I wonder if there's one for Kio and Soubi...

Gotta find that link again.

Drama I

Kouya: Yamato, are you cold?
Yamato: I'm fine... because Kouya is so warm.
Kouya: I see... I don't understand it though. Cold, warmth... This body is great for fights, but living a normal life with it is difficult.
Yamato: A normal life?
Kouya: That's why... I think that living on is going to be very difficult. We have to eat every day, we have to find a place to sleep. Even clothing.
Yamato: (laughing)
Kouya: What? What's so funny?
Yamato: Oh, I just remembered something. Oh you know, when we entered high school for the first time. There were things that we struggled to teach ourselves. (badly translated)
Kouya: Yeah, there was that. Now that I think about it, we saw Aoyagi Ritsuka at that time briefly.
Yamato: Huh? Really? Where? I don't remember that.
Kouya: Neither do I. I forgot all about it until now. But when we met for the first time that day, I think our fates might have been decided. (badly translated)

Drama II

Yamato: Kouya and Yamato have just returned!
Nagisa: Kou~ya! Thank you very much, how'd it go? Did you completely beat them?
Kouya: ... Yes...
Yamato: Yup, beat them beyond any hope of recovery.
Nagisa: That's good... Say, Yamato. You got injured again didn't you?
Yamato: Wa hahaha. I got it when I was running.
Nagisa: I'm going to tell you right now. That if you keep stumbling around like an idiot. I'll throw you out. Without me, you two couldn't last a day.

(Door)

Yamato: We'll be leaving now!... Oh man, oh man. She got mad even though we won, that's the worst.
Kouya: We can go on.
Yamato: Huh? What?
Kouya: We can still go on living. Even without her protection, just by ourselves.
Yamato: Oh Kou~ya! You don't have to worry about anything that Nagisa-sensei just said.
Kouya: I want to learn more.
Yamato: Man, you always get so riled up... Oh I know, why don't we try to get a job? I always wanted to try it out before.
Kouya: A job? That's a good idea. If we could learn to support ourselves financially, we won't need sensei's protection.
Ritsu: I think high school students should do everything in their pursuit for knowledge.
Yamato: Wha... Who're you?
Ritsu: It's me.
Kouya: Ritsu-sensei.
Yamato: Ritsu-sensei? You mean that Ritsu-sensei? Hahaha. Oh, sorry about that. I don't see your face very often.
Ritsu: You're Nagisa-sensei's students aren't you?
Yamato: Yup. Oh yeah, could you keep what you overheard a secret from Nagisa-sensei?
Ritsu: What I overheard?
Yamato: That we're going to get a job.
Ritsu: I don't know what you're talking about. Anything that doesn't interest me in the slightest I forgot immediately. The only thing that keeps my interest is... Oh, Soubi-kun!
Soubi: Ritsu-sensei.
Ritsu: It's been awhile seen your face. Why don't you come to my room from time to time? I'll treat you to a cup of a tea.
Soubi: If I go to your room, I don't think you'd be just satisfied with just a cup tea.
Ritsu: Hey now, I only...
Seimei: Sensei.
Ritsu: Hm? What is it Aoyagi-kun?
Seimei: Soubi is no longer your student. I ask you to please stop needlessly interfering. (bad translation)
Ritsu: You have no right to say anything like that to me. (bad translation) To me, a student of mine, is a student of mine until I die.
Seimei: I see, a very teacher-like thing to say. Let's go Soubi.
Ritsu: Yes, Seimei.
Kouya: Those two are the most powerful pair? Beloved.
Yamato: Wow, Aoyagi Seimei is seriously dissing the teachers. I should try act more like him.
Kouya: Hm.
Ritsu: Soubi-kun. Until the day I die, you're my cute student. Soubi, my cute student. Soubi-kun is so cute... Soubi-kun... Soubi-kun... Soubi-kun... Soubi-kun

Drama V

Manager: Ah, so busy, so busy. Hey you two, any one of you will do. One of you take the food to the tables
Kouya: Yamato, will you. I'm going to give them their beer.
Yamato: But they'll...
Kouya: Don't worry about it. Leave it to me.
Manager: Hurry up will ya!
Yamato: All right! Be careful Kouya.

Kouya: I have come with your beer.
Punk1: Oh, it's cold this time right?
Kouya: Please test it for yourself.
Punk1: Now I'm really pissed off.
Kouya: I'm not afraid of a knife.
Punk1: What!? Then how about this then!
Ritsuka: Seimei, there's a big fight over there.
Seimei: I see, let's go home then.
Ritsuka: Huh. But...
Seimei: If we get caught up in this, it'll be troublesome/boring.
Ritsuka: Wait, what about the bill?
Seimei: Ritsuka, this is something you should remember. In situations like these, you don't have to pay anything.
Ritsuka: Oh, I see.
Ritsu: Ah, Aoyagi Seimei just ate and ran.
Nagisa: Never mind that, Kouya! Ah, he's coming this way.
Punk1: Hold still damn it!
Ritsu: Hey.
Punk1: AHHH!!!!
Nagisa: What did you do?
Ritsu: Nothing, he just happened to trip on my leg and just happened to trip.
Nagisa: Ah... Blood.
Ritsu: It also appears that when he tripped, he happened to stab himself.
Punk1: It... it hur~ts!
Ritsu: Hmph, complaining about a superficial flesh wound like that. In any case, I wonder when my dinner will come
Punk1: Bro!
Punk2: Why you, little bitch! Hurting my cute bro-, I mean my little bro like that! Now you're gonna pay!
Kouya: A gun, eh.
Manager: Honored... Honored customer, please. Please stay calm and quiet.
Punk2: Why don't you call the fucking police or someone! Call the police damn it! Until then, I'm going to...
Yamato: Quit it, ya moron!
Ritsu: Ah, how could they! My order of chef's special choice of sirloin steak dinner ruined~! Oh my, where did Nagisa-sensei go to?
Manager: What? What? What? What? What's going on?
Kouya: Don't know.
Manager: Any ways, we've gotta calm down the customers!
Customers: Panicking.
Managers: Um, uh honored customers please calm yourself. Please remain in your seats and remain calm. Please, no pushing, no push~ ARGH!
Nagisa: Kouya, Yamato!
Yamato/Kouya: Nagisa-sensei!
Nagisa: Now's the time to run away, blend in with panicking crowd. If the police catch you, it'll bad.
Ritsu: I guess that explosion was your doing?
Nagisa: Oh, I just played around with the gas tank outside.
Yamato: Um, Ritsu-sensei what's with you? Cosplaying with Nagisa-sensei?
Ritsu: Oh there's a number of reason for all this.
Nagisa: Never mind that, hurry up and escape. Yamato, you'd better not go behind my back and get a job like this again. You're Kouya's precious body/sacrifice. (bad translation)
Yamato: Okay, okay. Let's go Kouya.
Kouya: Right.
Nagisa: You too Ritsu, we have to hurry up.
Ritsu: But... But I haven't eaten my dinner yet!

Drama VI

Kouya: In the end, Nagisa-sensei got really angry back then.
Yamato: Yeah, but that wasn't our fault though. Don't worry, well pull through this time. Kouya's smart and I've grown a bit.
Kouya; Grown? Where?
Yamato: Like my chest? Joking. Anyways it'll all turn out all right. Living on your own is hard ... But together
Kouya: Yeah, if we're together, then...
Yamato: Heh, Kouya you haven't grown at all. You know, here!
Kouya: H-hey! Don't touch there.
Yamato: Hee Hee.

Staying in Halifax with my parents

2006-08-22T23:22:10Z

There are benefits with living with parents. That much I will admit, after all, free rent, free homecooked food, occasionally free clothing and shoes and medical bills completely paid...

AH hell, I already enjoy that in Montreal... except for say home cooked meals.

Returning to Halifax is like returning to a low security prison in the middle of the wilderness. My life is so boring, I can't go out past 10 p.m. in one of the safest neighbourhoods of Halifax (south end) without my parents going on my ass on where I go, who I'll be going with and how much money I will spend.

Sorry, but if I want to go to Sobeys to pick up some freezies... I am not telling anyone that I'm going to for freezies at Sobeys which cost $1 and will be back soon, every frickin time I want to go out and get some freezies.

This applies, say, if I want to go and talk to my next door neighbour Mike who I've known since elementary school or going to the movies... or walking to downtown to read books at the library at 2 p.m.

Why must I account for every little place I go to and what time I'll be back home at age 21?

Is this a unique form of insanity that overprotective parents go through every frickin time? It doesn't help my father is the sort who will cut off my university funding if I don't listen to his commands.

But yes, my mother's cooking is very nice and I will miss it when I return to McGill this september.

Return to canada

2006-08-17T00:48:52Z

I have returned to Canada and have recovered from jet lag at last.

The 13 hour flight was murder to my senses, mainly due to the fact that I can never seem to sleep on planes. If I do, I wake up with a terrible crick in my neck that sort of stays with me throughout the entire flight and after I land.

Luck was with me though in small ways. First, I didn't get sick from the food. Usual when I eat plane food, I feel extremely queasy and my stomach wants to often relieve itself by throwing up.

Second piece of luck, my luggage didn't get lost on transit or anything stupid like that.

I am very very thankful for that.

I arrived in Montreal on August 14, and spent the day, without rest, preparing my apartment. My mother was there waiting and when I exited the airport, I noted how cold it was in Canada.

Osaka was 34 degrees celcius when I left. In Montreal, it was hovering just over 20 degrees celcius. That's a big difference, and plus no humidity.

I was rather happy. I had suffered the heat in Osaka (almost collapsed in Aikido practice... the dojo was hiting near 38 degrees celcius and getting hotter) and the humidity (I left a spoon out in my sink and left my window open... after a day, there was greenish rust on the spoon).

So anyways, stressed out mom and putting together Ikea furniture is not fun. Especially since my mom had spent the better part of the last 2 days in Montreal running around and buying things for the apartment... After I told her that 1) I can buy rice and soy sauce for myself 2) items such as cooking utensils are not rare items 3) I know friends who will give me free furniture, and most likely help carry it to my new apartment.

Apparently, those facts did not impress my mother and running on some sort of super Japanese mother love; she went out and bought a Ikea bed and a mattress, desk, 2 chairs and table and got them delivered to the apartment. Not only that had purchased eating utensils, cutlery, plates, etc. Further buying some articles of food for me to eat when I arrived there. Not only that cleaning items, toiletry, lamps, vacuum cleaner, towels, bed covering, and so on.

Essentially, all I need to do is get my phone line and internet up, plus finish putting together the furniture. Plus my parents are paying for my rent and giving me a living allowance.

I'm thankful, don't get me wrong, but I'm a little annoyed by it all. I am 21 years old, it embarasses me to no end that my mother has done this for me. Fruthermore, I am baffled by my parents demands that I do not get a part time job and just concentrate on my studies.

I am sure that I can work enough hours to at least earn a bit of money for living expenses and relieve some pressure financially on them.

They threaten to cut off all my funding for university if I do...

Yes well, that's another matter entirely.

Anyways, after that we went back to Halifax on the 15th and there I spent the day pretty much resting and organizing what things I need to bring to halifax and organizing my thoughts.

I can't believe I bought it....

2006-07-17T11:03:51Z

Just a few hours ago, I returned from Sapporo. I was there visiting family members since I won't be able to see them afterwards in August. I'm going back to Montreal pretty soon...

Nonetheless... I can't believe I bought it...

What I mean by this is doujinshi... very funny and rather cute 4koma doujin based off of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's.

Here's a link to some samples of what the thing is like...

http://ashitahadocchida.onmitsu.jp/as_nano.html

I bought all three books, which means I know have every single 4koma in paper... but I have already read every single one of them online, so buying it was rather pointless but the allure of having them all in reach without turning on my computer... >_>;

It costed a little over 3000 yen... There were some rather amusing Miss Maria doujin 4komas as well at that shop... where the 'young' form of Miss Maria becomes the newest thing to fangirl in Garderobe. It was tres funny.

But yeah, I am such a Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha fangirl... I was desperately trying finding non H Signum centered doujins while in Sapporo too... I obviously failed and was traumatized by dg Signum doing bad things to Viita.

I'm half tempted to go to Tokyo during my last remaining days in Japan to buy more doujins at the summer comiket (hopefully of Fate or Signum that are non H) but I promised my mother I wouldn't go nuts and buy...

I kind of broke that promise... I bought Emma 7, three Yotsubato! tankoubans, a doujin/free talk of Negima! and 3 doujins of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's...

My mother is probably not going to be very happy... >__>

Vacation... while school hasn't finished

2006-07-10T06:48:19Z

1430 yen

Today at 5 p.m. finalized preparations to go to the ferry terminal in Osaka. Total cost to get Ferry Terminal Mae is about 530 yen. 220 on Hankyuu line to Umeda. From Umeda to Ferry Terminal Mae.

Lucky I went there sooner than I thought I needed to go. The trip took about an hour and a half. Left my apartment at 6 p.m. Ate dinner in a restaurant at the terminal.

Called Fukumoto, tried to call Futagami but she didn’t answer her phone.

Will arrive in Matsuyama at 6:45 a.m.
Early, will sleep at 9 p.m. or something.

Spent the better part of the night trying not to get rolled over by my stupid neighbour. I was sleeping and my neighbour would enter my sleeping space and wake me up. It was terrible, barely had any sleep.

Arrived at Matsuyama Kankou kan at 6:15 a.m. and waited for Mr. Fukumoto to pick me up. I worried that I had accidentally given the Fukumoto family the wrong place to pick me up, so I called them to make sure that they didn’t get it wrong.

At 7 a.m. I got picked up by Mr. Fukumoto and was driven to their home. Had a really nice breakfast and drank lots of tea. We rested a bit and I gave them my gift of maple butter to them. They said they’ll eat for tomorrow’s breakfast.

Went to Sogo Koen for a nice 30 minute walk. It wasn’t too bad, not much to see but a nice walk up the hill. There seems to be a European inspired castle thing up on the hill overlooking Matsuyama city.

Went back to the house and they then drove me to Matsuyama castle and to see Ninomaru garden. The castle was under construction to maintain it’s outer façade, so I didn’t take a picture, took some pictures inside though. Lots of stairs and stuff. We then walked down to Ninomaru garden, which was rather disappointing. The area covering the old living quarters of the castle dwellers was large but the garden itself was rather boring.

We then went to do a bit shopping for dinner, and I attempted to find a plug converter thing and failed miserably. Despite this, I did find a replacement at the Fukumoto house and am currently using it.

We came back at around 2:30 p.m. where I took a four hour nap to catch up lost sleep due to my time on the ferry. I didn’t mean to sleep so long but what can I do?

As soon as I wake up, it turns out the Fukumoto daughter has returned and it’s time for dinner at 6:30 p.m.

We had goshiki soumen (five color noodles), corn, corokke, tonkatsu, and rice. It was a really nice dinner, finished it with some ice cream.

Then spent the rest of time talking to Yukiko about English and fantasy novels. It didn’t last long, I went to take a bath and start writing this entry.

Tomorrow we go to Uchiko together with Futagami-san. I have to give her the other small bottle of maple butter too… better take it out of my bag now.

Awoke at 6:30 a.m. and ate breakfast with the Fukumoto family. Got to try some maple butter, very sweet and the consistency is very similar to peanut butter. Also tried wine jam, the wine taste is quite noticeable and doesn’t really enhance the taste of the jam, didn’t really like it too much.

Going to Uchiko at 8:30 a.m. with Fukumoto and Futagami. This will be rather boring I imagine. But tonight we eat sushi.

Futagami-san arrived latter than expected. But that hardly matters, we went on our merry little trip to Uchiko and Ozu.

First we went to Oe Kentaburou’s home, a nobel prize winner writer, and looked around. You can stay at the house for a mere 3000 yen alone or 2000 yen with a group of 2 or more. Rather quiet and small place. And it’s the country side so there’s nothing really much to see, can’t imagine staying there for more than 3 days, but a nice place to go to if you want to get away from it all. Coffee and tea for only 300 yen.

We then rode the car to Karari, an outdoor vegetable and fruit market. Organic I think, very busy. Went and looked around and bought yamamomo for 250 yen. Well, Futagami bought it for me.

Then we went to Uchiko which is rather famous in Japan for a section of street full of very old Edo era buildings. We first went to a museum which used to be owned by wealthy wax merchants. It was a truly a grand place, and very muggy too. There’s a small tea shop in it if you feel like enduring the heat. These wax merchants made very high quality wax from wax trees. A very nice place to see once or twice.

We then traveled the street of Uchiko and saw the shops. It’s a nice place, very cheery. A lot of tourists come during peak season it seems. Went into one of the shops to see hand made candles being made from wax. Rather expensive but of high quality, the flame of the smallest candle is extremely bright and lasts up to one and half hours. The candle maker dips his hand in heated wax to create the layering of each candle. It’s to the point where his hands can no longer tell hot or cold and has to test the candles by pressing them to his cheek to check if they’re done or not.

From there we went to Uchiko-za. One of two remaining kabuki theatres in Shikoku. We went underground to see the mechanism for the revolving stage and rising section as well. It’s all done by manpower, a rather impressive visit. We even got an impromptu guide to tell us the details.

After that we headed to Ozu. Along the way we stopped to see the second largest ‘sleeping Buddha’ in western Japan. It was impressively large and I find it really funny. If I remember correctly, Buddha attained enlightenment when he laid down to ‘sleep’… or more frankly, when he laid down and died. I guess that’s why in Japan, when someone dies they say ‘hotoke-sama ni narimashita’. Literally ‘became a Buddha’.

We continued on our merry way to Ozu where I saw Hijiri river. In that river during the spring, they use a bird called Ukaii to catch fish. It’s a very popular tourist attraction but since it’s summer it’s long over. We went up a hill to see the newly reconstructed Ozu castle but didn’t go in because it was 500 yen. We did get to see the city and river from above though.

From there we went down the hill, and I learned something about the first Russo-Sino war and its connection with Ozu. I wasn’t paying a lot of attention to it.

Then we returned home, fell asleep in the car because I woke up at 6:30 a.m. that morning. Tonight is sushi, Futagami has returned home to do a few things before dinner.

Wrote my paper until 6 p.m. Then we all went out to dinner at a kaiten sushi place. It was really crowded, but I was still full from lunch. So I didn’t eat that much then, tomorrow I go to visit Futagami-san’s 90 year old father to speak English to him. This will be interesting, I’m not sure what I’ll say though.

2345 + 1464 = 3809

Woke up at 6:30 a.m. and then was invited to do some community clean up at 7 a.m.
It was rather unique, the entire neighborhood came out in force at 7 a.m. and started hacking away at tall grass and weeds. There were over 50 people, including kids. It was done rather quickly, technically the work was til 9 a.m. but everyone managed to finish at about 7:45 a.m. I got to experience a normal Japanese neighborhood life that morning.

Today’s plans are low key and relaxing. Meeting with Futagami at 11 a.m. (changed from 9 a.m.) and visiting her grandfather who likes English a lot. Then a nice long soak in the onsen before relaxing the day away until 10:40 p.m. when my ferry leaves for Osaka.

It’ll be Monday when I return, I have to go immediately to school even if I am exhausted. I’ll skip the afternoon class.

Went to visit Futagami’s father at 11 a.m. Spoke English but it was hard to talk to him, he’s 98 years old and is probably not going to see 100. I ended up sing ‘Fly me to the moon’ by Frank Sinatra to keep up the torrent of English. It was rather sad to see.

Mrs. Fukumoto and Futagami took to me to eat lunch before I went back to the Fukumoto home to pick up towels, shampoo and soap for my trip to Dogo Onsen. The place was very muggy as was the weather but I managed to endure the heat. There was a bit of a breeze so it worked out all right. Bathed and stayed there for an hour before deciding to go for a very long walk. Went on Dogo onsen tram line to Okaido.

Before going to shopping complex, I decided to see the Bansuiso villa and the Gudabutsu-an. It was an under whelming visit. This town is way too obsessed with Natsume Souseki.

After that, I walked Okaido and Ginten street. There’s massive shopping areas, and ended up at the Matsuyama city station. I accidentally rode the tram again, before realizing I was to ride a train there to Kinuyama for dinner at 6 p.m.

Wasted 150 yen on the tram. Went to Kinuyama and wandered a bit since I arrived early. Meet up with the Fukumoto family and Futagami. Ate burgers at a restaurant. I had some Belgium Cherry beer. Very sweet.

After that, we returned and I spent the rest of the time talking to Yukiko about Final fantasy, music of AIR and game music. It turns out that Yukiko had a deck of Magic: The Gathering cards but didn’t know how to play. Tried to tell her how to play but couldn’t really explain really well because the cards was in Japanese and I couldn’t explain in Japanese very well.

Was driven to the ferry terminal. They send me off with a wave and a good bye to come back again.

Return to Osaka soon.

July 10, 2006

Woke up on the ferry at 6 a.m. Arriving at Kobe port soon. Will arrive in Osaka thirty minutes or so after arriving in Kobe. Slept like a rock last night.

I wonder if I’ll be able to make it to school on time, I don’t think I will be able to.

Didn't arrive in time for the first class but attended 2nd class and meeting. Rather tired, decided to skip 4th period class and go rest.
