Reisi buying Adolf something unrequested because it made Reisi think of him

I could see Munakata being thoughtful this way, he strikes me as someone who would notice even small things about his partner and keep those in mind. Imagine one day he’s like in a toy store buying something for his niece and nephew and he spots this figure kit for making an airship, it immediately reminds him of the Himmelreich. He ends up buying it and then the next time he meets Shiro for a date Munakata proudly presents him the figure. Shiro’s curious what sort of present Munakata decided to buy for him (having heard the stories and been dating Munakata for long enough, he half expects a puzzle of his own face). 

When he sees the kit though he laughs, Munakata notes that as he was perhaps slightly responsible for the original airship crashing he thought he might buy Shiro a new one. Shiro says Munakata will have to help him put it together too, he’s never done these types of kits before and they’d actually probably have a pretty fun date of it, painting it and putting it together. Shiro jokes that it was thoughtful of Munakata to buy him a whole airship and Munakata just tells him to be careful with this one, if it crashes Munakata isn’t sure if he could find a new one.

#Munashiro #Talking K #imagine them doing a little model kit together #Munakata would like that a lot I think #and Shiro would probably enjoy it too #and then he has a tiny Himmelreich that he can put in his classroom #no one knows it's a gift from his boyfriend

Fleabag: Eine herzzereißende Komödie

„Do I have a massive arsehole?”

Mit dieser Punchline startet die britische Schauspielerin und Autorin Phoebe Waller-Bridge ihre Serie Fleabag, die zunächst ein one-woman show war. Der Satz charakterisiert die namenlose Hauptfigur ganz gut: Im Mittelpunkt von Fleabag steht eine sexbesessene Frau, die durch Humor, Sarkasmus, und Sex versucht, ihre Einsamkeit, ihr Schuldbewusstsein, und den Verlust ihrer besten Freundin zu vergessen. Die kluge, intelligente und zugleich gebrochene Figur versucht durch das Brechen der 4. Wand die Zuschauer*innenschaft davon zu überzeugen, dass ihr Leben ein charmantes und lustiges Chaos ist. Je länger wir Fleabag jedoch beobachten, desto klarer wird uns, dass ihr Humor nur Schein ist. Denn der Grundstein der Hauptfigur ist Einsamkeit, tiefe Trauer und Verlust.

Fleabag ist nicht autobiografisch. Phoebe Waller-Bridge identifiziert sich jedoch stark mit ihrer Figur. Fleabag wurde inspiriert durch Waller-Briges Zwanziger und ihrer Female Rage. Die Serie fängt das Gefühl des Frauseins in der heutigen Gesellschaft auf intelligente und humorvolle Weise ein. Auch Fleabag überlegt ständig, ob sie eine gute Feministin ist:

"I sometimes worry that I wouldn't be such a feminist if I had bigger tits.“

Ihr wird ständig von außen gesagt, was sie zu tun und zu denken hat. Zum Thema Sex sagt sie:

“I’m not obsessed with sex. I just can’t stop thinking about it. The performance of it. The awkwardness of it. The drama of it. The moment you realise someone wants your body. Not so much the feeling of it.”

Wie für viele andere übernimmt der Druck, sich sexuell wertvoll und begehrenswert zu fühlen, die eigentliche Lust am Sex. Es ist wichtiger, überhaupt Sex zu haben, als ihn zu mögen. Sex ist eine Bestätigung: Ich bin liebenswert. Ich bin wertvoll. Ich existiere.

So rennt Fleabag in Staffel eins vor sich selbst und ihren Gedanken davon. Ihre Grausamkeit sich selbst gegenüber überwindet mit der zweiten Staffel. Sie hat sich der Zuschauer*innenschaft nun geöffnet, kann freier und verletzlicher agieren. Sie muss nicht länger fliehen und hat endlich wieder Kapazitäten, in die Zukunft zu sehen. Dennoch ist sie verloren in der unendlichen und überfordernden Menge an Möglichkeiten. So sagt sie:

“I want someone to tell me what to wear every morning. I want someone to tell me what to eat. What to like, what to hate, what to rage about. What to listen to, what band to like. What to buy tickets for. What to joke about, what to not joke about. I want someone to tell me what to believe in. Who to vote for and who to love and how to tell them. I think I just want someone to tell me how to live my life, because so far I think I've been getting it wrong.”

Nach einer langen Phase des Selbthasses kann sich Fleabag endlich erlauben, glücklich zu sein. Aber sie weiß nicht, wie. Die einzige Strategie, die sie bisher dafür hat, ist Sex, Chaos, und Selbstdarstellung. In dieser Situation trifft sie einen Mann, der das Gegenteil von Fleabag in der ersten Staffel darstellt: Sie lernt einen jungen Priester kennen, genial gespielt von Andrew Scott. Einen gläubigen Mann, der sich seiner selbst, seinem Gott, sicher ist. Einen Mann, der keinen Sex hat. Und einen Mann, der sie sieht, wirklich sieht, vielleicht zum ersten Mal in Fleabags Leben.

Während sich die erste Staffel von Fleabag mit Themen wie Verlust, Frausein, Sex, und Einsamkeit beschäftigt, fokussiert sich die zweite Staffel auf Heilung, Freundschaft, Familie, Liebe, Glaube, und Selbstliebe. Fleabag in der ersten Staffel war auf sich allein gestellt. Sie hat sich von allen um sich herum distanziert, um keinen Verlust, keinen Schmerz, erfahren zu müssen. In der zweiten Staffel ist Fleabag endlich wieder bereit zu lieben, sich zu öffnen, und den Schmerz zu riskieren:

“People are all we’ve got. People are all we’ve got. So grab the night by its nipples and go and flirt with someone.”

K - ONE YEAR LATER

CHAPTER 12: THE WORLD OF THE FUTURE (BY RAIRAKU REI)

* List of Chapters

Translation: Naru-kun Raws: Ridia

A year has passed since then.

Shiro, the man who is Isana Yashiro, and Adolf K. Weismann remembered the landscape of that day's sunrise many times.

The dawn of that day, when the old friend of his who had been carrying out the dream he had started passed away.

(Weismann... what a beautiful new world!)

On the bridge of the "Schattenreich", Daikaku Kokujoji said that with a trembling throat. Outside the window, the sun appeared from beyond the sea of ​​clouds, trying to illuminate the world.

(Someday I dreamed of a view like this.)

Having lived as the greatest "King", he was looking at the dawn light at the moment when his life ran out.

(It's a shame to close my eyes...)

Those were his last words.

The airship "Schattenreich", the place where Kokujoji passed away, is now moored on the rooftop of Mihashira Tower.

On the bridge of the "Schattenreich", Shiro was reflecting on the sunrise sight that he had witnessed with Kokujoji.

"Silver King."

An old "rabbit" quietly appeared and said to Shiro.

"Munakata Reisi came to see you."

"Yes."

As Shiro nodded, the "Rabbit" quietly withdrew, and Munakata in a blue uniform appeared with the sound of his shoes echoing.

Shiro smiled brightly.

"Hello, Munakata-san, it's been a while. How was your trip?"

Shiro was informed in advance that Munakata would be traveling for a while, and he consulted and took countermeasures for any inconvenience that might arise in his absence.

A short time ago, he received the news of his return and a request to meet him. He felt somewhat ominous from the fact that it was the day he had just finished maintenance on the "Schattenreich".

"It was very significant. What are you doing with this airship? Do you want to go on a journey with me?"

"No way."

Shiro laughed and said that.

"I will no longer leave the ground."

Shiro narrowed his eyes as he looked inside the airship, which had the same structure as the "Himmelreich" where he had spent almost 70 years.

"This airship was unreasonably torn to shreds during the decisive battle with "Jungle" a year ago, and I left it as it was, but I was finally able to repair it. I have no intention of flying anywhere anymore, but the Lieutenant took care of it for a long time, so I want to restore it to its beautiful appearance before I put it to sleep."

"I see."

Munakata agreed with a slight smile on his lips.

"Munakata-san, have you finished your journey?"

"Yes. I have found the answer and the many encounters I have had along the way have given me a new idea of what to do."

"I see. I want to hear about the world you've seen, Munakata-san."

"I decided that I should talk to you, so I came here."

Just when he thought this was going to be a long story, several young "rabbits" arrived with chairs, a small table, and tea utensils. He couldn't help but smile bitterly at those who were too smart.

Grateful, he sat on the chair that had been prepared for him and listened to the story of Munakata's journey while he drank tea.

Munakata's story was like an adventure tale that children would enjoy, like a presentation of research results at an academic conference, or like a philosophical murmuring.

Shiro listened carefully to Munakata's story, interspersing questions from time to time.

How people around the world live, think and act. It was a time to experience the situation of people living, through Munakata, which cannot be covered by the news.

"Even if it's not as strong as in Japan where the "Slate" was, the effects of the release of the "Slate" are still being felt all over the world."

"Because there aren't as many people with persistent supernatural powers as in Japan, the situation is even more difficult for people with supernatural powers around the world than in Japan."

Shiro put his hand on his chin and thought. Munakata looked directly at Shiro through the back of his glasses.

"You could say that humanity has taken a new step forward. Aren't you responsible for that, Weismann?"

Instead of an accusing tone, Munakata spoke in a calm and determined voice.

In the depths of Shiro's eyes, the dawn of that day shone again.

The night is over. A new world has begun. The scene that dreamed with Claudia and Kokujoji in the past may be a little different now, but when morning comes, they have to get up and start walking.

"Of course."

Shiro nodded.

"I am responsible. I had a dream about the "Slate" and I was responsible for moving it. I was responsible for giving Nagare Hisui's dream that effect. So I will do my best. I can no longer be a person who only dreams and prays. I listen to people's prayers and I will do my best to bring them closer to a world where those prayers come true. I think that's my job."

"Very good."

Munakata nodded in satisfaction and stood up.

"I will do my best as well. As a leader who walks in front of the people, even though I am no longer the "King" determined by the "Slate". As the head of "Scepter 4". As a person named Reisi Munakata. There is no no cloud in our cause."

Munakata turned around and left the "Schattenreich".

Shiro stared at the space where Munakata had left for a while, pondered what he should do, and slowly sat up.

The "rabbits" appeared and waited by Shiro's side as if they were waiting for their lives.

"Please take care about this airship."

"Ok."

"And... thanks for coming back once again."

A year ago, Shiro relieved the "rabbits" of their responsibilities. According to Kokujoji's will, they were to help Shiro until he returned to the surface. After that, they disappeared into the shadows, just trying to maintain the system established by Kokujoji.

However, they went back to work for Shiro. There were many things that he could not have done without the "rabbits".

The old "rabbit" bowed deeply.

"You are his successor in will. It is our deepest desire to serve you."

"Thank you.", Shiro said again.

Under the transparent floor there was nothing anymore, where the "Slate" was before, Shiro said goodbye to the "Schattenreich".

++++++++++

He woke up to the smell of grilling fish.

He widened his eyes a little. A warm steam billowed from the kitchen. He could hear the sound of rice being cooked and the sound of something being chopped on the cutting board. Kuro was making breakfast.

Shiro let out a yawn and straightened up. Then he noticed that there was a weight on his feet. Neko, in her uniform, slept curled up on Shiro's futon. She doesn't look like a kitten anymore, but she still looks like an animal cat in places like that.

"Good morning, Neko."

After lightly shaking her, Neko rubbed her eyes sleepily and got up. It was good that she was dressed, but he guessed that she fell asleep again because she saw Shiro still sleeping.

Looking at Shiro, a smile spread across Neko's face who had woken up.

"Shiro, good morning!"

"Breakfast is ready. Wash your face."

A voice came from the kitchen, and Shiro answered "Yes." and he went to the bathroom.

He washed his face with cold water, changed his clothes and straighten his bed hair.

When he returned feeling refreshed, breakfast was already prepared on the dining table.

Salt-roasted horse mackerel, dashimaki egg, miso soup with tofu and komatsu-na (Japanese mustard spinach), and freshly cooked white rice. It was a standard menu that everyone loved.

"Itadakimasu!"

He clasped his hands and took his chopsticks. He drank miso soup with a strong dashi broth, grabbed the horse mackerel meat and put it in his mouth, bit into the fluffy egg and filled his mouth with rice. He dove into a delicious breakfast that would energize him for the day.

"Today will be the meeting for the opening ceremony after going through "Scepter 4"."

As he nodded to Kuro, who was confirming his schedule, Neko let out a dissatisfied voice, "Eh!"

"Shiro, aren't you going to school today?"

"Sorry. I'm in a bit of a rush today."

"Neko. Shiro is doing important work right now."

"Boo... I know..."

"Now that I think about it, I got a call from Kukuri."

Hearing Kuro's words, Neko was in a good mood and she let out a happy voice, "Kukuri!" A smile naturally appeared on Shiro.

"Kukuri, how is she doing? Is her university life going well?"

"Ah. It seems they are busy preparing for the school festival. She told me to go visit her that day."

"Come on! Come on!"

"The high school festival turned out to be ridiculous, so I really want it to be a success this time."

As soon as he finished eating and stood up, Kuro handed him a bag neatly filled with the necessary documents.

Kuro looked at Shiro's figure from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet, and slightly adjusted Tai's position to make minor adjustments. He nodded once and pressed the voice recorder button with a straight face.

"Correct your outfit and jump into the world."

It was the deep voice of Miwa reciting a poem. Kuro smirked.

"That's how it is."

He was still the same Kuro as always. Laughing, Shiro said, "I'm leaving.", and left the room with Neko.

As he was walking down the hall while greeting the dormitory students who were about to go to school, he ran into Toru Hieda. Shiro still felt strange when he met him. Shiro's soul had been in his body for over a year until the "Slate" was destroyed.

Shiro felt an indescribable shame towards him, as if he was closer to him than Kuro, Neko or his biological sister Claudia, who shared her blood with him.

"Oh! It's Toru!"

Neko said that happily and hugged Hieda like a jumping kitten.

Hieda smiled wryly and said, "Good morning, Neko-san.", as he gently held Neko's body so as not to touch her carelessly.

A year ago, every time Neko hugged him, his eyes turned black and white, but he seems to have gotten used to it. Hieda was a very reserved guy who wasn't very good at interpersonal relationships, but surprisingly he adapted.

"Good morning. Shiro... Um, Weismann sensei."

Hieda greeted Shiro with a smile. At Shiro's request, Hieda usually calls him "Shiro-san", but at school he calls him "Weismann sensei" as a teacher-student relationship. After considering which is the most appropriate for now, it seems that he settled on the latter.

"Today is "Shiro-san". Weismann sensei is free today."

"Then it's work for those who aren't in school. You seem busy."

"Yes. Shiro is busy."

Neko, who started to walk next to Hieda, thinned her lips, but it soon turned into a smile.

"Wagahai and others are also doing their best. So keep up the good work, Shiro."

Hieda nodded in agreement with Neko's words.

Buoyed by their genuine support, Shiro said goodbye to the two outside the dormitory and started walking towards the station.

The monorail station connecting the mainland and the school island was packed with commuter students. Among the students full of laughter and youthful chatter, he met a friend of Neko's.

"Ah, German sensei."

Harumi Nakayama, Neko's classmate, relaxed her expression when she saw Shiro.

Due to her dyed blonde hair and her sharp eyes, the other teachers often see her as a delinquent, but she is a kind and good girl. Neko, who used to be reluctant to wear clothes, now tries to dress like a high school girl thanks to this friend. Like Shiro, he was happy to have a friend who could influence Neko from the same perspective, and he was very worried about Nakayama herself as a teacher.

In particular, she has had a lingering supernatural power for a year, and there was a time when she was deeply depressed by it.

Shiro tried his best to make her live with a smile. Kuro also followed her, and Neko also snuggled up to her like a friend.

Thanks to that, Nakayama can now go to school in good physical and mental health, but there are still people in the same situation all over the country, no, all over the world.

"Are you going to work outside of school?"

Contrary to her delinquent appearance, Nakayama asked in a polite manner.

"Yes. I'm sure I'll make the world easier for you."

His words weren't enough to explain it, but Nakayama looked at Shiro's face and bowed, "Thank you.", without asking anything.

"So, today's physics class will be self-study, I'm sorry. But the self-study printout is a masterpiece, so I'd love it if you could do it."

Shiro parted ways with Nakayama and entered the station.

The students were friendly and asked, "Huh? Are you going out, German sensei?" Shiro answered each question with a smile as he rode the monorail from Gakuenjima to the mainland.

++++++++++

"I read the article you posted on the internet about the emergence of the Strains and their social impact. It was a very interesting consideration."

Shiro met a Strain named Tamaki Genjo at the detention center for supernatural criminals in the basement of "Scepter 4". He was a man who served as a staff member for a group of supernatural criminals led by a Strain, who called himself the "Black Iron King".

Tamaki aimed his large black eyes directly at Shiro from behind his round glasses.

"I've also read the draft of the new supernatural-related bill you sent me. It's certainly reasonable to think of it as a realistic starting point, but just with this, some people will fall from the hands of salvation."

"Yes. I would like to hear your honest opinion."

At Shiro's words, Tamaki began to speak as if a dam had broken. For many years, there must be something that has been treasured inside, something that has matured. Fushimi Saruhiko, standing at the entrance of the room as a witness, let out a sigh.

After two hours of discussion, Shiro got up and stood up.

"Dr. Weismann. Will you save all the outcasts?"

As Shiro was leaving, Tamaki threw that question at him.

Shiro recalled the information that Tamaki was an old friend of Iwafune Tenkei, no, Seigo Otori.

The "Grey King" Seigo Otori, who tried to create a paradise to save and protect all the weak.

The "Green King" Nagare Hisui, who tried to transform the world into a world where everyone had power.

Iwafune Tenkei, who cared for and saved Nagare.

Thinking of them, Shiro lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised his head with a smile and said.

"I want to protect the place where everyone can eat with their loved ones in peace. I will continue to do what I can to get closer to a world where that can be done."

Shiro bowed to Tamaki and left the room.

"The long discussion with the criminals in prison is the same with our boss, but you are also crazy."

Fushimi, walking a little behind Shiro, said that in an exasperated voice.

"Moreover, he even showed us the bill before the deliberation..."

Shiro laughed out loud.

"It's a bill to save people like him and his colleagues. The opinions of the parties are important, and Mr. Tamaki is an expert who used to do research at the university. In fact, his story was very useful."

"You've even met Kamimori, but his story won't help you in any way. He's just an idiot."

Kamimori is a man who used to be the leader of a supernatural criminal group calling itself the "Dark Iron King". The other day, he was arrested by Munakata for his violent act of attacking the "Scepter 4" garrison. Before Tamaki, Shiro met and talked with Kamimori.

"He's not stupid either. He doesn't have a rich vocabulary and isn't good at logical thinking, but he has the power to understand people's feelings and has what can be called an "instant anger power" that directs the right anger when it's about things you should be angry about. Without it, you'd either build up your anger and make it worse, or raise your fist in the wrong direction. It was helpful to hear why he was angry at the world at the time."

"Haa..."

Fushimi let out a breath of wonder or admiration.

"More importantly, is Munakata-san here now?"

After going up from the basement to the entrance hall, Shiro looked up to the upper floor where Munakata's office was. Fushimi shook his head.

"He's out now."

"Oh, sorry. There is a document that I wanted him to seal."

"Ah, then you should go to the deputy chief's office. Her acting boss role is over, but deputy chief Awashima still has decision-making authority."

Fushimi said and turned his feet towards the grand staircase. Shiro followed behind.

"Well, I'm saved. But why?"

"I don't know why the Chief brought them in from all over the world. He gave them roles, created a place where they belong, and started doing all sorts of odd jobs. That's partly why I'm busy, and unexpectedly, deputy chief Awashima is better at making realistic decisions like "Scepter 4"."

"I see."

When Fushimi called Awashima's office, there was an immediate response.

"Hello."

When Shiro showed his face, Awashima greeted him with a reluctant "Ah.". During Munakata's absence, Shiro frequently interacted with Awashima as a representative of "Scepter 4", so they had become somewhat familiar with each other.

"Shiro-san. How was your day?"

"I want to obtain the consent of "Scepter 4" for this document."

As Shiro handed over the document, Awashima quickly read it over and sealed it.

"Thank you. Even though Munakata-san is back, Awashima-san, you seem to be busy as usual."

"Yes. However, just by having the Chief, who is the pillar of "Scepter 4", even if we have the same duties, our sense of security is quite different."

Indeed, Awashima's mood was more stable and relaxed than before Munakata's return.

"Shiro-san, you seem to be busy. The opening ceremony is today, right?"

"Yes. From now on, we will have a meeting for that purpose, uh."

Shiro's PDA rang. Awashima urged him to leave without worrying about it, and Shiro lowered his head slightly and took out his PDA.

"Ah, it's Kusanagi-san."

Seeing the name displayed on the PDA screen, Shiro tilted his head. Awashima and Fushimi also looked at Shiro with a captivated expression on their faces.

"Hello. Yes. Yes. Huh? Ah, hahaha... I see. I'll go there from now on."

As Shiro ended the call with a wry smile, Awashima and Fushimi's questioning eyes turned.

"The meeting partner after this seems to be in the HOMRA bar for a while... I'll go find him."

++++++++++

A "CLOSED" sign hung on the door of the HOMRA bar. Today, that sign meant "rented."

A black sedan was parked in front of the bar, and two strong men like SP were standing next to it.

Shiro gave them a slight bow and opened the door to the bar.

"Ok. Kanichi, you can do it. There's no need to worry so much."

A man in his fifties in a suit, former Prime Minister Kanichi Samukawa, was sitting at a bar table, receiving encouragement from Anna Kushina, a high school student sitting across from him.

Misaki Yata and Rikio Kamamoto, sitting on a chair at the counter a little further away, watched the show with their arms crossed, frustration on their faces. Behind the counter, Izumo Kusanagi was polishing his glass with a wry smile.

Shiro deviated and moved closer to the counter so as not to disturb Samukawa and Anna.

"Samukawa-san, he asked Anna to tell him the fortune again."

When Shiro whispered, Kusanagi lowered his eyebrows and shrugged in embarrassment.

"He wants her to predict the future of Japan. Actually, it's almost like advice, huh."

"At this stage, I'm still boiling, that old man."

"It's pathetic that you have to get a girl to push you around. Even if you're a former prime minister."

Yata and Kamamoto said that sharply. Shiro sat on the chair at the counter next to Yata as he calmed him down, "Ok.".

"Originally, Samukawa-san seems to have relied heavily on fortune telling. Anna, who has great sensitivity, is much more accurate than other fortune tellers, so I understand the feeling of wanting to see her... But this time it's more like a ritual to make a decision than as a divination."

Kusanagi served Shiro an iced tea. As he luckily wet his throat, he looked at Samukawa's profile.

"Tomorrow, the 'Supernatural Powers Agency' will be officially launched. As its director, former Prime Minister Samukawa must become a banner-man to create a world where psychics and non-psychics can live together in peace."

A year ago, as a result of what Nagare did, the existence of supernatural powers became known to people all over the world. It was no longer possible to deal with the problems behind the scenes with "Tokijikuin" and "Scepter 4". Specialized departments will be established within the administrative bodies to solve various problems in front of the public.

Samukawa is a former prime minister and possessor of permanent supernatural power. While he acts as a spokesman for the minority of people with supernatural powers, he is well-suited as a leader to create a society where the majority of people who do not have supernatural powers do not feel uncomfortable.

"Even if it's the day before the opening ceremony, it won't work. Taking over as director is a matter of decision."

Kusanagi also showed a slightly exasperated smile.

Yata said that.

"I don't trust that old man!"

"You! Hide your backbiting properly!"

Yata's voice was strong, though he should have been speaking softly so as not to get in the way. Samukawa, who was talking to Anna, turned his body and pointed at Yata.

"I'm not talking behind your back! I think you're unreliable, so I just said that!"

Alongside Yata, who is defiant, Kamamoto, who usually tends to hold back, but jumped on the bandwagon and said, "That's right!"

"For the most part, are you really able to properly control your clairvoyant ability?! You're not looking under Anna's clothes, right?"

"Stop."

Samukawa said with a punch.

"Aggressive behavior wielding such blind suspicion turns into prejudice and discrimination against psykers. If you're one of the geniuses, you'll understand."

"Oh, sorry. That's right."

Kamamoto sincerely apologized. Yata also looked at Samukawa with a slightly reconsidered face.

However, Samukawa himself immediately lost his dignity and fell on the table.

"But... That's right. Mind you, I have my doubts about it, and I'm sure it will continue to be said. Depending on the type of supernatural ability, just having it makes me a half-criminal. If I bear the worst part, the stone thrown by the psychic will hit me first..."

"Kanichi."

Anna read the former prime minister in a transparent voice.

"The more stones you receive, the more people behind them will be protected. One day you will be a hero."

Samukawa's eyes widened slightly.

Shiro got down from the chair at the counter and walked over to Samukawa's table.

"Also, I will protect you as much as possible. With the weapon of knowledge and the shield of technology."

Samukawa now wears glasses that he didn't wear before. It is an item that suppresses his clairvoyance ability and was developed with technology from Shiro and "Tokijikuin". Until that unfolded, Samukawa was under house arrest, unable to appear in public places with women.

In the future, he plans to develop tools together with "Tokijikuin" so that all psychics can live their daily lives without problems.

"Yes."

Yata seemed to have received a message and looked at the wristwatch-shaped PDA.

"Shiro, before you came here, did you see the blue clothes?"

Yata said that as he looked at his PDA. Shiro nodded.

"Yes. I met Fushimi-kun and Awashima-san, and told them that I would come to pick up Samukawa-san."

"Then, Saruhiko said, "How's it going over there?" Samukawa-san, even the blue ones are worried about you."

Samukawa took a deep breath and stood up. The frustrated look from just now was gone and had turned into a calm adult face.

"It's certainly time for the meeting. Shall we go?"

Samukawa looked at Anna and smiled.

"You have taken care of me, Kushina-kun."

"Your eyes are different from mine, but they are eyes that can see through. I'm sure you can see the future we should move into."

"You are strong even though you have great abilities."

Anna softened her expression and placed both hands on her chest.

"Because I have them all."

Surely, it included not only Kusanagi, Yata, and Kamamoto, but also important people who have disappeared.

Mikoto Suoh. Totsuka Tatara. Shiro, who was deeply involved in their death, gently lowered his eyes and thought of them living inside of Anna.

After leaving the bar with Samukawa and riding with him in the car, Shiro came up with an idea.

"I don't know if I can reach the level of "everyone" supporting Anna, but Samukawa-san, you have me."

Shiro smiled at him, and Samukawa grimaced as if the poison had been removed.

"You have changed."

"Is that so?"

Samukawa looked out the window and muttered.

"The "King", I thought was something that went way over my head."

++++++++++

While making natto for breakfast, the TV started showing the news from the "Agency of Supernatural Powers".

Samukawa, who was shown on TV, made a directorial comment with dignified behavior that made the previous day's laziness a lie. Originally, he was a frank person who was good at giving speeches. He calmly answered even unpleasant questions from journalists.

"Shiro's work finally came true in this way."

Kuro took a deep look at the TV screen showing yesterday's opening ceremony, put down the bowl and chopsticks he was holding in his hand, and straightened his posture.

"Shiro. Thank you for your hard work."

Shiro's eyes flickered to Kuro, who bowed his head slightly and thanked him politely. Following Kuro's lead, Neko joyfully raised both hands and said, "Shiro, Otsukare-sama!"

Shiro laughed and scratched his cheek.

"Oh, no. I'm just standing at the starting line. Everything is from now on."

"That's true, but, checking the signs and taking a break with the joy of accomplishment when you've reached that point are important during a long journey."

Shiro was embarrassed and said "Thank you." for Kuro's sincere effort and encouragement.

"So, it's been a long time since I've had a day off and I'd like to go somewhere for a while, so I wonder, Kuro and Neko, will you come with me?"

Kuro and Neko nodded without hesitation, though they seemed puzzled.

He stopped by a flower shop on the way out and they made him a bouquet of calm colors.

The place they headed to with him was the place of the decisive battle a year ago.

The "Slate" was released by the "Green King" Hisui Nagare, the place where the pillar of light was located, and the place where Shiro and his friends plunged into the base of "Jungle" with the "Schattenreich".

Here, Shiro dropped his Sword of Damocles of his own free will and destroyed the "Slate".

The big hole that Anna and "Homura" had entered underground was blocked, the door was completely blocked, and now it's just a big crossroads.

He offered flowers at the edge of the intersection.

Kuro said nothing and lowered his eyes as if he was silently praying.

Maybe Neko felt helpless and sad, and she clung tightly to Shiro.

Shiro was looking at the place that had become a normal road surface.

Shiro.

Kuro suddenly yelled in a suppressed voice.

Kuro was not looking at Shiro, but was looking across the intersection diagonally with serious eyes. Shiro turned his eyes to follow Kuro's line of sight.

He found a familiar silhouette on the other side of the traffic.

A tall and slender person with a large parrot on his shoulder and a small boy who is still growing, were standing side by side looking at them. They were Mishakuji Yukari and Gojo Sukuna, who were the executives of the Green Clan.

It is an intersection where thick roads intersect. At this distance, his expression was vague, but Mishakuji seemed to have the same faint smile as always, and Sukuna seemed to be watching them with a rigid face.

For them, that place was a deeply connected place filled with various feelings.

As he watched them, Shiro remembered the day when Mishakuji suddenly visited Shiro's room.

(I feel like this question isn't very "beautiful" anymore. Asking a question when you already have an answer would be very unrefined.)

Although he went as far as to proudly enter the former enemy's residence, Mishakuji didn't say what he would have liked to ask and left.

To Neko who asked what happened, Shiro said.

(Well, I'm sure she meant something along the lines of: "Could you really beat the guy named Hisui Nagare?")

It was not a matter of winning or losing, but he believed that Hisui Nagare's ambitions could have been half achieved.

The world has changed. What had been kept secret until now was revealed by Hisui Nagare, and everyone had the power.

Most people have lost their power, but there are still people who have power. They are not members of any clan of any kind, but lone "Kings" who were suddenly released into the wild.

Even most people who have lost their power can't go back to when they knew nothing.

"However, I will continue to fight. In a world where psykers and non-psykers coexist, I want everyone to be able to protect their own chabudai."

He didn't even know if he was trying to answer Mishakuji, or if he was addressing the late Nagare. However, Shiro muttered a small vow for his thoughts to come out of his mouth.

A truck turned the corner and slowly crossed in front of Shiro and the others. The view of was blocked by the large body of the vehicle, and Mishakuji and Sukuna were no longer visible.

After the truck drove off, the two were gone.

He assumed the signs had disappeared. Kuro took a deep breath to ease his tension.

In this world changed by Hisui Nagare, Mishakuji Yukari will live freely in search of beautiful things and Gojo Sukuna will grow as he searches for his own way of life.

Shiro looked towards the center of the intersection once more.

The "Slate" was no longer underground. Not even in the tower near heaven.

Shiro believes that the "Slate" itself is not the source of power, but rather the key to accessing great power, though the "Slate" itself has yet to be fully elucidated.

If so, even if the "Slate" is gone, there is still a great power somewhere. In the future, there's no guarantee that a new path leading to that power won't appear as an access key replacing the "Slate".

At that moment, the ridiculous world that Nagare dreamed of could come true.

"Shiro, what's wrong? You look strange."

Neko looked at Shiro's face and said that.

"Yes. It's a strange sensation that is terrifying and a bit exciting."

"What's that?" Neko turned her head and Kuro raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

If he had met him differently and they had pursued a dream together, he would have been in a position as the Lieutenant and scolded him. And so, imagining something that didn't even exist, he smiled bitterly.

Shiro reached out his right hand and left hand to the side and grabbed Kuro and Neko's hands.

"Let's go home. To our house."

Shiro took the two of them by the hand and began to walk.

"Hey. I'm not a boy, so don't hold my hand."

"Wagahai will hold hands and go home~!"

Kuro reluctantly distanced himself from Shiro, while Neko happily waved the hand connected to Shiro.

In between the two, Shiro laughed out loud.

LIST OF CHAPTERS

[Translation under the cut]

Saya: …Cherry blossom viewing?

Neko: Uhm! Wagahai wants to see cherry blossoms!

Neko: We'll all be eating together under the cherry blossoms in full bloom and mess around! It'll be a lot of fun!

Kuroh: Impossible.

Neko: Nyah! I hate Kurosuke! He's always so mean to Wagahai!

Kuroh: Hazakura (time when cherry blossom trees start sprouting new leaves) period has passed, the cherry blossoms are already green. It would be physically impossible.

Shiro: I guess if we go to Hokkaido, the cherry blossoms are still blooming there.

Kuroh: So, it's impossible. Give up.

Shiro: Hey, Hokkaido…He-ey, don't ignore me.

Kuroh: …I was talking about you. I bet you'll say something like, "We can just go on Himmelreich".

Saya: Himmelreich?

Neko: Gohan doesn't know? It's a bi-ig flying ship!

Saya: Is that…Do you mean the airship that sometimes flies over the school?

Shiro: That's right. That's the Silver club's…or rather, my propery.

Shiro: It transports guests to and around the island. And helps pay for the minor club expenses.

Saya: I see. Amazing…

Kuroh: However, combining it with the maintenance costs, it's a plus or minus zero.

Shiro: That's rude, it's actually profitable, you know? …Just a little bit.

Shiro: With Himmelreich it's possible to go to Hokkaido.

Kuroh: …No, I think we still shouldn't go there.

Neko: Uuuh, why-why?

Kuroh: Did you forget what's coming next week?

Neko: …Something?

Kuroh: …You remember that, don't you?

Saya: Let me think…Are you talking about the midterm?

Shiro: Ahh, there was something like that.

Kuroh: It's not "there was". It's not a good time to go afar before the test.

Neko: But, if we don't go soon, the cherry blossoms in Hokkaidou will fall! It will be over!

Neko: Wagahai wants to see cherry blossoms! Gohan wants too, right? Right?

Saya: Umm…Of course I'd love to see the cherry blossoms, but…

Saya: It's my first test since coming to this school…I'd like to prepare properly for it if possible.

Neko: Uhh, Gohan is also mean…

Shiro: Enough-enough. Well, how about this? Next Sunday, we'll eat Kuro's home-cooked food in the clubroom!

Kuroh: How did it come to this?

Shiro: Because Kuro is good at cooking. If we are going to have a cherry blossom viewing party, I am sure Kuro will cook something for us, right?

Kuroh: That's right, but…Shouldn't it be outdoors?

Shiro: It's fine. We'll watch the cherry blossoms on the TV in the clubroom.

Neko: Cherry blossom viewing in the clubroom! Wagahai agree!

Saya: Good. We can also study for the test in the clubroom.

Neko: Uuh. I'm against studying for the test! It's no fun!

Kuroh: It's not about having or not having fun. Study seriously once in a while, you all-time loser.

Neko: Sshhhhaaa! It's always better to have fun!

Shiro: Eno-ough, you fight so easily. I have to apologize all the time.

Saya: No, it's fine. They say the more you fight, the better you get along.

Kuroh, Neko: It's not better!

Saya: S-Sorry…

Neko: There's no way Wagahai and Kurosuke can become friends. That's just awful!

Kuroh: Same here, I refuse too.

Saya: Ahaha…

Saya: (Today is the long-awaited Sunday! I have to go to the club room as soon as possible)

Saya: (I've always wanted to try Kuro-kun's cooking, so I'm looking forward to it…)

Saya: (Ah, the one walking over there…)

Kuroh: Kuro-kun!

Kuroh: Ah, it's you.

Saya: Good morning! Oh, that package might be…

Kuroh: It's the bento you asked for.

Saya: As I though. You seem to be in high spirits.

Kuroh: If I make something, I make it thoroughly.There is no such thing as taking shortcuts. It is disrespectful to the ingredients.

Saya: (Kuro-kun is amazing…I don't cook much, so I need to learn from him)

Saya: By the way, Kuro-kun, do you have a big family?

Kuroh: Why do you ask?

Saya: I thought if you have a big family, you might be used to making that many bento boxes…

Kuroh: Ah. So that's what you mean. I have no one I can call family except Ichigen-sama.

Saya: Ichigen-sama…

Neko: To the clubro-om!

Neko: Huh, Kurosuke here?

Saya: Neko-chan?!

Kuroh: You idiot! Who would rush in when there are people around!

Saya: Where's Shiro-kun, Neko-chan?

Neko: He's in the clubroom!

Saya: As expected, the Head of the club is the first one to arrive! …But it's Shiro-kun's room, so it's only natural that he's there…

Kuroh: You…Are your head is still sleeping?

Saya: T-That's not it! I just forgot!

Kuroh: Suddenly you started acting like a comedian, I thought you were sleepwalking.

Saya: (It's embarrasing to go deep into this…I need quickly forget about it!)

Shiro: You finally ca-ame. I'm starving.

Neko: Wagahai too! Kurosuke, hurry up with the bento!

Kuroh: Is that how you ask someone to do something? Really, what kind of upbringing did you have to grow up like that.

Saya: I'll get the plates.

Kuroh: Uhm, thanks.

Shiro: I am the one in charge of watching Kuro~

Shiro: Wagahai too!

Kuroh: You guys…No, it's still better than causing problems.

Saya: Beautiful Maki-e (patterns drawn on the surface of lacquerware)…Nice lunch boxes.

Kuroh: That's right! It's because Ichigen-sama gave this to me.

Shiro: Kuro, can you talk about this later? It's a long story, we'll be dead by the time you're done.

Kuroh: Ugh…I got it.

Saya: (Tamagoyaki (omelette) with coleslaw salad, onigiri (rice balls) with boiled meat and lots of fried food…)

Saya: Everything looks delicious…Did you make all of these?

Kuroh: Of course.

Saya: That's true, after all…Kuro-kun is amazing. I don't think I can make even half of this.

Kuroh: There is no need to be modest about it. They are all simple dishes, even you can make them.

Saya: (I wish to be modest about it. I really can't make them…)

Saya: (It's a dormitory life after all, I'll try my best to cook for myself, too!)

Shiro: Well, everyone. Put your hands together.

Everyone: Thank you for the food.

Neko: Mmmh…delicious! Wagahai loves Kurosuke's cooking!

Saya: It's not only looks good, it tastes really good too…

Kuroh: It's not just about looks and taste. It's also about paying proper attention to calories of the ingredients.

Kuroh: All ingredients are pesticide-free. The oil used was non-fatty.

Saya: I see…Amazing! Are you self-taught?

Shiro: Kuro learned it from the principal. Right, Kuro-o?

Kuroh: Yeah! The graceful knife work of Ichigen-sama creates a beautiful rhythm as if you are listening to heavenly music…

Kuroh: That's why the dishes he made have a spectacular richness that fully satisfies our hearts and minds…

Kuroh: And…

Shiro: Aaaah, Kuro! Can we just leave it at that?

Kuroh: What…? This explanation is not enough to convey the magnificence of Ichigen-sama at all…

Shiro: I-It's alright! She already understood well what you're saying! Right?

Saya: Ah, Uhm! The principal is a wonderful person!

Kuroh: …Ah! I-I see. You understood well…!

Shiro: Haaa, we're saved… He's always like this when it comes to the principal.

Saya: By the way, what relationship Kuro-kun has with the principal?

Kuroh: Oh yeah, I didn't tell you, did I?

Kuroh: Ichigen-sama and I have inseparable and deep relationship.

Saya: …Like father and son?

Kuroh: Not by blood. But our connection is deeper than that. This blood and flesh belong to Ichigen-sama.

Saya: Umm… I guess that means he's like Shiro-kun to Neko?

Kuroh: Ugh…! Don't compare him to this guy!

Neko: Huh! The principal seems kind, but Shiro is much kinder!

Kuroh: I can't ignore that! Can Shiro do this!?

Kuroh: *Voice recorder sounds* "Rice boiled to the perfect degree of softness is glorious"

Saya: …Voice recorder?

Kuroh: That's right. This contains a number of haiku read by Ichigen-sama.

Kuroh: When I am lost, when I need guidance, I listen to them.

Shiro: Gross as usual.

Kuroh: And you as usual have no idea how good this is.

Kuroh: …What about you? Did Ichigen-sama's words touch your heart?

Choice: [They're lovely] ❤

Saya: I don't really know much about senryu (comic haiku) or haiku, but…

Saya: I thought it was simple, warm, and lovely.

Kuroh: I see…! Haha, you're right. Yes, you do. You understand!

Shiro: Amazing…I can't understand it at all.

Choice: [Ummm…]

Saya: Ummm, it might be difficult for me.

Saya: I get that he were talking about rice, but that's all I understand…

Saya: The principal put a lot of meaning into that haiku, didn't he?

Kuroh: Of course. Don't you feel it, the breath of all things?

Kuroh: These 17 letters are filled with the compassion for all living things. The deep Ichigen-sama's love.

Saya: …L-Love?

Shiro: See, it's really gross, isn't it?

Kuroh: Someday I'll summarize Ichigen-sama's words and publish them as a book of aphorisms.

Kuroh: When I achieve this goal, I will give you a copy of the book.

Saya: T-Thanks.

Shiro: I don't think I need it…

Neko: Wagahai too! No thank you.

Kuroh: Why!?

Shiro: …I can tell just looking at you. The principal's words deeply ingrained in your mind.

Shiro: But it's something you better keep to yourself. There is no need to publish it and put it in the public eye.

Shiro: Words are the spirit of speech. They shine only in situations where they are needed, they are like a mirage. So…

Shiro: …Hmm, it's getting kinda tiring now, so I'll just put it simply. You better not publish it. It won't sell.

Kuroh: …Right, words shine only when there is meaning before and after them. Taking them out of context makes no sense.

Kuroh: I'll give up on publishing. But…

Kuroh: I'll keep updating the blog as usual.

Saya: Eh. Kuro-kun, you have a blog?

Kuroh: Of course. Though, it's not in the form you might imagine, it's a blog with Ichigen-sama's aphorisms.

Kuroh: Here's the address. It's updated every day at midnight.

Please visit it if you like.

Saya: U-Uhm. Thanks…

Shiro: Hey, it's gross, right?

Saya: I don't think so! I think its…good to work hard.

Saya: (I can't believe the always calm Kuro-kun could get that excited over something. He really likes the principal…)

Saya: (Kuro-kun's cooking today was really delicious, I'm glad I got to know an unexpected side of him)

Auch wenn ich dich heute vielleicht das letzte Mal sehen kann und deine Stimme hören kann, will ich, dass du weißt, dass ich unglaublich stolz auf dich bin. Ich kenne dich seit dem Anfang meines Lebens und du bist mir sehr ans Herz gewachsen, auch wenn ich viel zu wenig Zeit mit dir verbracht habe. Es tut weh, dich so kaputt und am Ende deiner Kräfte zu sehen. Naja du bist halt leider schon in die Jahre gekommen, wie ein alter Käfer, der nicht mehr anspringen möchte 🥺. Auch wenn du bald gehst und wir dich alle sehr vermissen werden, weiß ich dennoch, dass es dir dort oben deutlich besser gehen wird als hier auf der Erde. Kein Leid, kein Streit, nur Frieden und die Gesellschaft alter Freunde, die du ewig nicht mehr gesehen hast. Aber noch ist es nicht so weit und wir müssen mit ansehen, wie es dir von Tag zu Tag schlechter geht. Bitte sei dir bewusst, dass wir gerade alle für dich da sind, auch wenn deine Leiden und Schmerzen immer größer werden und damit der Wunsch auf das Himmelreich steigt. Ich liebe dich, dein Enkel Milan 🤍!

something ive never understood- who do you think the girl the colourless king was dancing with in s1 is? was she just some random woman who was killed/drugged unconscious?

…I figured this would be explained in The First Story novelization so I took a quick check and it seems Gora skipped over that part so maybe they don’t know either XD I feel like that moment was one of those things that was put into the script because it looked cool visually — our unknown long-haired villain character humming ominously while dancing with a person in a mask — but then nobody really thought through who that was or why they would be in the airship. The fox mask on the body makes me wonder if it was some person who Colorless possessed and who then died afterward or who he was keeping drugged and planning to possess if need be later. If the lady was still alive she presumably would have died in the explosion of the Himmelreich and no one knew who she was or that she was missing, so there couldn’t be any follow up. The less morbid but weirder suggestion is Shiro just happened to have a mannequin chilling up in his airship for aesthetic reasons (he’s gotta display those long coats on something okay) and Colorless just felt like playing with it.

#Talking K #...I feel like this one of those things Gora just put in thinking they'd explain it later #and then they realized they had no explanation #so they just pretend it didn't happen #that or Colorless found Weismann's Real Doll D:

Arcane: Ein künstlerisches Meisterwerk

Die Serie Arcane (2021) ist inspiriert durch das populäre Online Game League of Legends. Zunächst habe ich daher aufgeschoben, die Serie zu sichten, da ich nach The Witcher nicht viel von einer Spielverfilmung erwartet habe. Aber meine Vorurteile waren mehr als unberechtigt: Arcane ist in allen Aspekten der Serie ein Meisterwerk.

Die Serie behandelt das zerbrechliche Gleichgewicht zwischen zwei Städten: dem privilegierten Piltover, und dem Zhaun der Unterklasse. Durch die Erfindung der magischen Technologie Hextech drohen die Spannungen zu eskalieren. Arcane diskutiert parallel auf liebevolle und kreative Art die Beziehung zwischen den zwei verwaisten Schwestern Vi und Powder, die durch einen schrecklichen Unfall jahrelang getrennt wurden. Powder wurde als Kind von niemandem wirklich ernst genommen. Als Kompensation dafür macht sie während der Trennung von ihrer Schwester eine extreme Verwandlung durch.  

Die tragische Serie behandelt Themen wie Klassenkampf, Gewalt, Armut, Trauma, Diskriminierung, Freundschaft, Familie, und Zusammenhalt, fühlt sich aber trotzdem neu an. Das mehrschichtige Figurendesign, die interessanten und diversen Charaktere, und die packende und emotionale Handlung, werden mit so viel Liebe zum Detail und Kreativität ausgearbeitet, dass keine Figur, keine Szene, überflüssig oder oberflächig erscheint. Arcane schafft etwas, das viele andere Actionserien versäumen: Die Serie kreiert Figuren, um die man sich nicht nur schert, sondern mit denen man mitfiebert, mitfühlt, mitleidet. Figuren, deren komplexes Innenleben man über den Verlauf der Serie besser kennenlernt. Figuren, dessen Charakter sich am Ende der Serie auf natürliche Weise gewandelt hat. Jede Figur ist eine hochinteressante Charakterstudie. Es gibt kein Gut und kein Böse in Arcane. Niemand ist perfekt oder schlecht – man versteht die Intention und das Leid jeder Figur.

Zudem ist Arcane ein perfektes Beispiel dafür, wie man starke weibliche Figuren schreibt. Die Diversität der weiblichen Figuren der Serie geht auch auf ihr Charakterdesign über. Viele Serien und Filme haben bestimmte Tropes, in die die meisten weiblichen Figuren reinpassen. Extreme Emotionen werden entweder verspottet, oder sind Tabu. Viele „starke“ weibliche Figuren wirken daher overpowered, emotionslos, platt, und daher uninteressant. Die Kehrseite dieser Figur sind hysterische und hypersensible Figuren, die genauso unsympathisch und eindimensional wirken. In Arcane haben die weiblichen Figuren jedoch eine emotionale Bandbreite, die komplex und lebensecht ist. Es ist das Zusammenspiel von Ermächtigung und Verletzlichkeit, es ist das Unperfekte, das Fehlerhafte an den Figuren, das sie so menschlich macht. Und auch die verschiedenen zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen der Frauen – ob Mutter-Tochter, Vater-Tochter, Familie, Liebe, Freundschaft – richtet den Fokus der Show überraschend oft und vielschichtig auf seine weiblichen Figuren und ihre emotionalen Realität. Aber auf eine Art, die den Fokus auf Gender allgemein entfernt, und den Fokus stattdessen auf die Figuren setzt.

Darüber hinaus ist Arcane atemberaubend animiert. Die Liebe zum Detail, die Kombination von 3D Figuren und 2D Hintergrund, das Figurendesign, und die wunderschönen Einstellungen sind außergewöhnlich und magisch.

Man muss League of Legends nicht gespielt haben, um von Arcane aus den Latschen gehauen zu werden. Arcane ist so vielschichtig und komplex, so liebevoll und magisch, dass für jede Person etwas dabei ist, was sie begeistern kann.
