没有第3年接着写神无月祭,在自己看来着实是种进步。
哪怕再糟糕,京四郎动画还是有这种好处,就是让人意识到神无月的巫女已经成为过去--是令人感激的,存为珍藏的过去。
说起这个,前阵子(9月)美国Geneon的销售分部解散,从此撤销,电击总部宣布至少因之亏损4000万美金的年度收入,更糟糕的是之前在AX2007宣布11月将代理的魔炮无印和A's就此打了水漂, 圣母在上的引进更是痴人说梦。Fate/Stay night最后一卷在10月出版,好歹有始有终。寒蝉解就想也别想了。。。能够收全神无月限定版DVD,现在看起来已经是足够走运的了。 所以要买美版神无月DVD(双配音)的赶快买,此后便绝版了T_T
10月的特别不止在于千姬这两只,同样也是yamibo的创站纪念。顶着某大的巨大压力一天也没关过站的300,不能不说透君很有本事。声优X zone, 由衣联盟,华盟甚至漫游都关了几天到几个月不止。。。更不要提本月开始的第2届百合最萌战了。总之是混乱的一个月。
虽说没有因为前述的原因关站,却因为网站升级而关了几天。等升级完了,姐妹制度一出,漫天飞的都是求婚帖和求姐妹帖--但是我万万没有想到这场大火竟然也会烧到我这个凡事低调、基本退役的闲散版主身上来。拒绝了求认姐姐和求婚的人之后(囧),我开始在签名档上挂上“谢绝一切认亲活动”,一边思考着我为何不予考虑--其实都是没有恶感的对象啊。
老实说,对于我这种已经不在论坛上说什么话,做太多事的人来说,做人的虚拟姐姐或是配偶又有什么意思呢?如果不能花时间关心照顾对方,挂个名字有何意义?我既不够自恋,也没有虚荣心需要满足,开后宫这种事情,还是让有能力的人来吧。 如果做一件事不能认认真真做好,那还是不要做了。比起圣来,我大约更像祥子--情人节的巧克力,还是都拒绝了吧。
今年的300萌战,应该也是到此为止了。想起来自己不得不参与主持的原因很简单,就是为了神无月的巫女不再参加之后的百合萌战(。。。。。。)在这之后,传统形成,想来也不会有什么让人担心的情况出现了吧。 有人接班就万事大吉了(合掌)。

[Kyoshiro To Towa No Sora] Novel, Chapter II, Interlude (the second half)
With this part done, the translation of Kyoshiro novel chapter II is finally complete. After that there's another section of Setsuna's angle, which I haven't started translating yet ^ ^a We'll see if I can finish that before the end of this year (hey!)
There're a lot of switches from the third person angle to the first person angle, and I didn't do anything specific to label them. Hopefully it's clear enough.
And last... please support Kaon, Himiko and Mika in SaiYuri 2007! Thanks XD
Please don't distribute without my permission.
Obsessed with Murakumo at the first sight, Mika devoted all her effort into research.
Utilizing Ayanokoji family’s wealth, political power and connections extensively, she expanded the research lab day by day.
The Absolute Angel Research lab became the Absolute Angel Institute, and then the Absolute Angel Bureau.
Every scientific and magical means was invested into the research of Absolute Angels.
And so, taking a few years, after the break-through of supplying eternal mana with kisses, the research progress halted.
Badras awakened.
And then Murakumo did, too.
When Mika heard that voice, her heart was dancing.
It is the same one.
That pure and clear, sweet voice.
This must be it. No mistake.
Even when they attached their hands to exchange the vow, that warmth was the same, too.
It is indeed, HER.
Mika’s secret inside her chest burst with happiness. She thus sped up the research pace even more.
Please become more beautiful, more perfect.
Let Claimh Solaris’s awakening be more excellent than that of Badras.
Everything is for the sake of Murakumo.
However, Mika also met the bottleneck.
It has been an extreme burden for the supplier to feed the mana through kissing, and what’s more, Murakumo’s instability is also a big problem.
Murakumo has never disobeyed her Accomplice, nor has she failed any command given to her.
This is way too boring.
She cannot just stay as a delicate doll.
She has to be more perfect, more humane.
Betting on all scientific power and magical power, concerts, live shows and gourmet, whatever it takes, Mika has to make that heart sprout.
One day, Murakumo will turn into a hearted existence.
And then, she and I can----
Mika accelerated her research.
She even transferred illegal funds from the interior organization of military, forcing on hazardous experiments.
”How dangerous! Absolute Angels are not your personal belongings!”
The antagonizing voices from Central Student Union grew louder and louder, but Mika laid her eyes on no one but Murakumo.
Central Student Union cannot hinder. I will apply my own negotiation ability and political power to destruct any obstacles.
I’ll use any means, definitely.
Next time, this time, absolutely----
And then what happened was the accident that changed the fate of Murakumo vastly.
It was during the functional test of Murakumo.
The target was Badras, another Absolute Angel, simply an experimental sample to Mika for adjustment.
If an Absolute Angel would be damaged, will she regenerate? What kind of reaction will it be?
Given battling technique, knowledge and power, an Absolute Angel may become an immortal target.
That test resulted in mana energy’s out of control.
Both Murakumo and Badras went missing.
Badras was found three days later and captured successfully. However, even using every hand to extensively search for Murakumo’s whereabouts, there was no good news.
Suppressing her worries, Mika continued to give orders calmly.
The first priority is to retrieve Murakumo.
It will be fine. My angel will not desert me.
However, what really shocked Mika awaited.
One month later.
Murakumo returned with a girl.
In the meeting room, Mika gazed at Murakumo face-to-face.
Something is not right. Something is different.
"Where have you been till now, and why haven't you contacted me?"
"...I am very sorry."
Her consciousness had been in commotion due to the lack of mana, and her body was also immobile―so Murakumo explained.
Liar.
So Mika thought.
The one who welcomed Murakumo has reported the fact that Murakumo pleaded to treat the dying girl in her arms. She stared at the hesitating person by the sudden request, sent her to the treatment room herself, and until she confirmed that the girl was no longer in danger, she had been standing beside and watching over her.
What happened to Murakumo?
"What is that girl, Murakumo"
”……”
There was a brief silence.
"The one who rescued me."
"......rescued you?"
"Today I can stand here, I owe it all to her mana."
Murakumo quietly weaved the words.
"That's why you ask for my help?"
"Yes."
"I, your Accomplice, to fulfill your wish?"
"I am aware how rude this is, I would like to accept any punishment... please..."
Murakumo humbly lowered her head.
Mika’s eyes were overwhelmed by dark light.
Darker than the darkness of the night, it is a light full of fury and jealousy.
Murakumo.
What are those moist eyes filled with worries?
What are your disrupted irregular breaths?
What is this choking pleading voice?
And what is this brave look, as if a lady knight who would protect her princess with all her life, longing and love?
This is the Murakumo with a human’s heart.
The Murakumo that she wanted so badly, yet couldn’t achieve, now stood right there.
Rage slammed Mika’s soul.
This is far more damaging than the unexpected destruction power that left the gigantic crater in the developing zone.
Murakumo, what has changed you?
Is it that girl? Is it for that girl that you…?
Neither her beauty or her wisdom matches the moon, she is merely an uninteresting little girl far beyond even Mika’s mistresses.
For someone like her, you----
Subduing her urge of screaming right now with all her willpower, Mika ordered Murakumo’s reforging.
To finish that girl is very simple.
However, she shouldn’t do that. Absolutely not.
Mika’s intuition tells her so.
If taking the girl away now, Murakumo will break and probably never be hearted again.
After investigation, the stability data of Murakumo’s mana confirmed her hunch.
So for now, I’ll settle for this.
The Accomplice is, after all, me.
This girl is nothing but the stone to sharpen Murakumo. As long as I use this situation completely to make Murakumo more perfect, it will be fine.
As long as I reforge Murakumo to change back into my sword, it will be fine.
Yes. This is a good chance.
With a thin string of sensibility, Mika managed to lock down the storming rage in her chest.
Bear it. Just hold it right now.
I will not lose again. No one can take her away from me.
There will not be a third time.
The one who will laugh at the end----
“…will be me”
Mika stood alone in front of Murakumo inside the capsule after reforging.
She reached out for the sleeping beauty, but what she touched first was only the cold, reinforced glass.
She reached out, and reached out again, never giving up to the few centimeters that were so desperately far away.
A wall between the Accomplice and Absolute Angel, Mika and Murakumo… that could not be overcome.
Is that the distance in between them?
She had to eliminate this unpleasant image. The fire of anger grew wilder in Mika’s chest.
“I will not let you go anywhere. I will not give you to anyone. You are MY Murakumo.”
As Mika’s voice faded, she showed her claws.
To fate. To Absolute Angel. To her inner wish.
As if she were the one and only beast in the world.
As if she were the beautiful beast starving for love.
