TWO LOVERS DRENCHED IN DEVOTION

Alternate title: Soaked Sweethearts

This is simply a fan translation of the game. Translations may not always capture the exact nuances or tone of the original text. Expect grammatical errors.

I turned my gaze outside the window upon hearing the sound of the rushing wind.

(It's windy today.)

I stopped sewing and watched the trees sway.

Kicho: "Mai, can I come in?"

Mai: "Sure. Something smells nice."

Kicho: "I made some tea. How about taking a break together?"

Mai: "Okay. Thanks!"

Putting my sewing kit back on the shelf, I sat with Kicho at the table, and he gracefully poured tea into the teacups.

(Being alone with my lover like this is so blissful.)

Kicho: "Are you really that happy?"

Mai: "Huh? Did I say it out loud?"

Kicho: "No, even without saying anything, I can tell just by looking at your face."

(It must have been obvious that he could tell so easily.)

Kicho: "Why are you turning to the side?"

Mai: "Because I'm embarrassed about having my feelings read."

Kicho: "It's too late to be feeling shy now."

Feeling my cheeks getting warm, I took a sip of the warm tea he handed me, and a sweet, familiar scent tickled my nose.

(Huh?)

Mai: "This has honey in it, doesn't it?"

Kicho: "Yeah. I remember seeing someone drizzle it into tea back in the future."

Kicho: "Do you like it?"

Mai: "Yes, I can even savor the aroma."

Kicho: "I see."

(If he wasn't here, I wouldn't be able to drink it in this era.)

With every sip, the sweetness of the honey soothed my heart.

Mai: "It's delicious. Can I have another cup later?"

Kicho: "Of course. I added it to make you happy. Feel free to drink as much as you want."

(Ah, he smiled.)

My soft gaze met his emerald eyes, and my heart beat faster.

Mai: "This tea tastes even better because I'm sharing it with you."

Kicho: "……..."

Kicho: "You really say the cutest things."

Gently, he reached his hand out and stroked my cheek.

(Hehe. It tickles.)

Mai: "By the way, it's rare to see you taking a break at this hour."

Kicho: "One business negotiation got canceled."

Mai: "So you came to see me in your free time?"

Kicho: "Of course."

(He's so straightforward.)

Heat spread to my cheeks again with happiness and embarrassment.

Afterward, we exchanged plans for the week and engaged in small talk while enjoying the tea.

(Since we’re both busy, it looks like it’ll be just another ordinary day.)

That’s why sharing a warm cup of tea and talking like this felt so precious.

Kicho: “Mai, how about going somewhere on our next day off?”

Mai: “Really? Okay!”

Kicho: “Then choose where you want to go.”

Suddenly, a knocking sound interrupted our conversation.

Subordinate’s voice: “Excuse me. Lord Kicho, are you here?”

(It seems like he’s looking for Kicho.)

Kicho: “I’m here. What is it?”

Subordinate’s voice: “We need you to handle an urgent matter at the port.”

Kicho: “I’ll be right there.”

Subordinate’s voice: “Yes, sir.”

Kicho stood up and returned the tea set to the tray.

Mai: “Are you heading to the port now?”

Kicho: “Yeah. I’ll probably be home late.”

Kicho: “By the way, about our previous conversation, think about the place you want to go.”

(Even though he’s so busy, he still cares about me.)

Mai: “Okay, I’m looking forward to it.”

Kicho: “Yeah, me too.”

I saw him off as he left the room, then returned to work.

(I wonder where we should go on our outing.)

A few hours later一

(I did a great job today.)

Having completed my work quota, I stretched my body and realized that the outside had already become completely dark.

As I turned on the lights, it started to rain.

(Come to think of it, Kicho went to the port.)

(It’s raining. I hope he’s okay.)

(He said he’d be late, so I should probably bring him an umbrella and pick him up.)

I hurried out of the room and bumped into someone with a thud.

Kicho: “Mai, where are you going?”

Mai: “Kicho? You’re back?”

Kicho: “Just now.”

(He’s not drenched.)

(I’m glad he made it back to the trading post before the rain started. But...)

Kicho: “........”

His expression was so tense.

(Did something happen?)

Kicho: “I’ll be working late tonight. You should go to bed first.”

Kicho: “I’ll be in the reception room, so if you need anything, just call me.”

Mai: “Okay.”

I nodded, and he walked away.

(I'm curious, but I guess it's better if I'm not by his side tonight.)

The next afternoon, I left the room to go to the market to buy some fabrics.

(In the end, I couldn't see him this morning either. I wonder what happened after that.)

As I left the room, I heard whispers from the end of the hallway.

Kicho's Subordinate 1: "Is that true?"

Kicho's Subordinate 2: "Yeah. It looks like there's a spy targeting Lord Kicho among those who visited the trading post."

(What!?)

The unexpected words left me breathless.

(A spy targeting Kicho? Who on earth?)

Even after his subordinates left, I couldn't move from that spot.

Kicho: "Mai."

Mai: "........."

I snapped back to reality when someone called my name.

I looked at the source of the voice and saw Kicho staring at me.

Mai: "Are you being targeted by a spy?"

Kicho: "It looks like you already heard about it."

Mai: "Yes. Is it true that there's someone in this trading post who is after you?"

He frowned and let out a small sigh.

Kicho: "I have such information, but I still don't know who the spy is."

Mai: "So, it's true after all."

Kicho: "Sorry for surprising you. But don't worry, it will be over soon."

Kicho: "You can continue to live normally without any concerns."

(I understand that he's trying to reassure me, but...)

I couldn't nod sincerely because his tense expression from last night crossed my mind.

Mai: "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Kicho: "Don't try doing anything stupid. Besides, I'm pretty good at finding spies, especially those from Azuchi."

He chuckled, and I pursed my lips.

Mai: "Are you talking about me!?"

(I want him to take me seriously, not make fun of me.)

Just as I was about to try again to offer my help一

Kicho: "Are you really that worried?"

Mai: "Eh? Ah..."

I felt my feet gently lift off the ground.

With one arm holding me, he opened the door to my room.

(Whoa!)

As soon as he entered the room, he closed the door behind him.

Kicho: "There's no need for you to be anxious."

Mai: "Nnn..."

He embraced me in his arms, and our lips met abruptly.

(Why did this happen so suddenly?)

He slowly slipped his tongue in and entwined it with mine, slowly melting me.

Unable to stand, I collapsed into Kicho, and the arm around my waist supported me.

Kicho: "No matter what happens, I will never let any harm come to you."

Kicho: "I'm currently investigating the identity of the spy, so it's only a matter of time until I find out."

Mai: "Ah…nnn…"

He deepened the kiss as if to reassure me.

(No, that's not it.)

(What I'm worried about is not myself, but him.)

He's a kind person, but it's true that he has earned some resentment through his past actions.

(If something happens to him…)

Even thinking that, my objections were sealed with a kiss, preventing me from saying a word.

Kicho: "It's about time."

He whispered this reluctantly and released his arm from me.

Breathing out a sigh, we gazed at each other, and someone knocked at the door.

Subordinate: "Lord Kicho."

Kicho: "I know."

Kicho: "Then Mai, I'll be going now."

After lightly stroking my head, he disappeared beyond the door.

(I couldn't convey anything.)

I was left standing there, my cheeks flushed.

The next day, after finishing my errands and leaving the shop一

(Huh? You're kidding, right?)

Fun facts abt residents according to Ikevamp Radio (ヴァンなま) Part 4

Let's go with episodes 11 & 12!! Only 2 episodes since one was a bit longer. Anyways, LET'S GOOO!!!

Episode 11: Back in the studio w/Vincent & Sebas!!

Vincent sees Sebas singing “Can you celebrate?” a song by Amuro Namie, so he knows the song from the future

Vincent can’t get Sebas to pay attention to him, Sebas keeps singing until Vincent gives him a flick on the forehead

Vincent thinks Sebas is bored as he has created many lines & scenarios for both him and Vincent (flashback to episode 10) Sebas says that “Time is something you make for yourself”

They talk about June brides and wedding for a bit (not my fav episode tbh)

Sebas teaches Vincent the lyrics of “Can you celebrate?” (they sing the song together)

Morishi and Makki call Issac cute (this was when Isaac’s route was released in jp)

For the “Can you tell me… your name?” it was a bit different than usual. There were 4 options to choose from instead of 3, and the fourth was a line that combined the previous three statements into one. For example, Vincent’s provided lines were 1. “Don’t worry, I’ll be here until the morning” 2. “You can depend on me today, okay?” 3. “Pain, pain, go away” 4. A combination of the three.

The audience voted on option 4, so he had to say “(Y/n), depend on me til morning and then go away” or some other weird version. He picked and chose words from each line & rearranged them w/weird grammar (which I’m sure that was NOT what he was supposed to do but it’s funny so…)

Sebas’s chosen line was a combination of “Don’t worry. I will do my best to help you with your recovery” “It’s painful, right? You can depend on me until you recover” and “Do you want to wrap green leeks around your neck? It’ll lower your temperature”

So his finalized line was something along the lines of  “(Y/n). Don’t worry, for now, do you want to wrap green leeks around your neck?” & other variations (he always had some part w/green leeks) It doesn’t make sense but it’s hilarious

Afterwards, Makki was like “More people were being wrapped around by leeks than I’d imagined… haha”

Episode 12: feat. Ikesen Sasuke’s VA Akabane Kenji

Ikesen x Ikevamp Radio Collab!!!!

(I used to play Ikesen but wasn’t as obsessed so I’m not as familiar w it as I am w ikevamp)

Everyone is so chaotic in the intros & throughout (Akabane & Morishi just feed on each other’s energy and Makki’s like “Sorry—hahaha—I can’t follow… haha” ←he’s dying of laughter)

Even Makki was like “I’ve been thinking… Morishi and Akabane-san give off the same vibe” Akabane: “It’s true that our tastes are overlapping right now, but when I first met Morishi, he wasn’t like this. Now… he turned out like this.” Morishi: “Like what?” (offended)

They did a new section called “You’re a producer! Self-judge!” (nvm it's not a new section, they do it on ikesen radio but not on ikevamp) where the audience will think of lines that Sasuke will say if he was a vampire & if Vincent and Sebas are Sengoku-era warlords. The presented lines will be said by their respective voice actors

Sasuke’s line was “As research, can you let me have your blood? … That was a lie. I want it because it’s yours… So, can I?” 

Vincent’s line is “When I spend time with you, I forget that it is a time of war right now. Ah, I need to go. Please don’t be so worried. I promise I’ll be back to you, so believe in me.” Akabane says that his line is similar to what Mitsunari would say

Sebas’s line is “Aaasasaasasaassu! Aaasasaasasaassu! Aaasas…!? Yes? What am I doing? … I’ll be heading to enemy headquarters, so I was energizing myself. Is something wrong?” LMAO as soon as the words showed up on the screen everyone started laughing. Akabane was like “Is ‘Aaasasaasasaassu!’ something Sebastian would say?”  Morishi: “That, Sebastian doesn’t say that. That’s something Morishima would say” HAHAHA

“Aaasasaasasaassu” according to Morishi, is a spell that is shortened from “Arigatou/Azassu!” (thank you). When you say this while pulling for gacha, you get good cards (we need to all try it)

“I love yu” skit w/Sebas, Vincent, and Sasuke!! Sebas and Vincent are relaxing in the thermae when Vincent discovers something coming from the water. Sebas describes it as “something that ninjas use to breathe when they dive into lakes.”

Vincent doesn’t know what a ninja is. Sebas explains what it is to Vincent. Vincent thinks ninjas sound cool

Sasuke pops out from the water, explaining that he came from experimenting with another wormhole. He introduces himself to the two residents, saying that he came from the Sengoku era, saw a rift in time and space, and ended up there, in another timeline.

Sebas, the history nerd, says “Sengoku era? So that means in that era, there are Oda Nobunaga, Uesugi Kenshin, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, & etc.” Sasuke: “Yes, of course. Also, Uesugi Kenshin is my boss” Sebas: “Please. I would like to hear the details. Please, take a seat. I am the butler of this mansion, Sebastian”

Sasuke: “Thank you for the welcoming atmosphere. I guess until the next wormhole appears, I will relax here… Just call me Sasuke.”

Sasuke enters the bath in his clothes, Vincent asks if he doesn’t need to strip. Sasuke: “Well, I don’t know when the next wormhole will appear.”

Sebas: “I had felt this since the beginning, but you give off a similar energy to me.” Sasuke: “What a coincidence. I feel that as well.” Sebas: “Dyun…gyun” Sasuke: “Zuban, zuban!”

The two repeat the phrases, each one becoming more dramatic than the previous, until Vincent stops them bc they’re “leaving him behind”

Vincent finally introduces himself to Sasuke, who gets excited that “he can meet another genius other than the Sengoku warlords” Sasuke: “If I were to describe this feeling, it would be… choberigu (チョベリグ, slang meaning extremely very good)” Sebas: “Our Master Vincent is gekimabu (激マブ, slang meaning very bright), isn't he?” 

Vincent: “Choberigu? Gekimabu?” Sasuke: “Yes, he’s gekimabu. So I was right. I feel a same energy off of you”

Sasuke gives them makibishi (caltrop) as a token of appreciation. Vincent is in awe of the caltrops, and Sasuke is happy that someone appreciates his caltrops. Says how Masamune doesn’t need it, proves how angelic Vincent actually is

Vincent: “Next time I see Will, maybe I should throw them to him?” (I LEGIT SPAT OUT MY DRINK) Sebas: “... He will be extremely sad, so maybe not.”

Vincent thought that it was cool that Sasuke had a cool nickname “Shippujinrai” so he tries to think of one for Sebas. Sebas: “to be given a nickname from two people I admire… it makes me feel embarrassed” 

Vincent: “Perverted butler!” LMAO IT’S CANON SEBAS IS A PERVERT

Sebas: coughs  “‘Perverted butler…’ while it is not incorrect, it may be weird to say that to myself. ‘Perverted butler, Sebastian.’ Can you say that?”

Sasuke: “I think it sounds pretty good… What about ‘three meals a day?’” Sebas: “That’s just a routine” Vincent: “I got it! ‘Versatile butler’”

Sebas: “‘Versatile butler’ I like it. Versatile butler, Sebastian.”

Sebas: “Master Vincent would be ‘Innocent Angel’” Sasuke: “No, he would be ‘innocent’ (天真爛漫, it means the same thing, just worded differently)” Vincent: “Hmmm… I want something that’s cooler…”

Sebas: “He may look like that, but Master Vincent’s strong in a fight, so maybe ‘Ready to fight (喧嘩上等 means they’ll take on any fight challenged)” Vincent: “Isn’t that a bit dangerous?” 

Sasuke and Sebas try to get Vincent to say it. Vincent: “Ready to fight, Vincent van Gogh! It’s a pleasure to meet you!” Sebas praises Vincent, saying he did a great job

Then a whirlpool forms in the waters, a wormhole, Sasuke gets ready to travel through space-time. Sasuke promises that they’ll probably be able to meet again

Akabane was surprised to see that the characters were naked and said “Ohh, so Shiro-sensei (the artist for Ikesen and Ikevamp) is the type to draw nipples”

So in the “van Gogh’s drawing section” Sasuke participated w/Sebas & Vincent. The theme was “Hollywood movie ‘Sengoku warlords vs Vampire’” and Akabane’s art was good? Like you can tell he drew Napoleon and Nobunaga. Makki’s one had a certain electric-type mouse Pokemon on the lower right side of his piece haha

In the segment, “Dyun, zuban… Your name…” (It’s basically “Can you tell me… your name?” but combining the two versions) Vincent’s chosen line was a combination of the lines “You’re gonna get wet. Come here” “You’re wet… Here, take my jacket” “I want to stay here until it stops raining”

He would say most lines properly, but some were weird like “Let’s get… wet together” (not in THAT way) or “The rain got wet, huh? Get closer and wear it” (literally it doesn’t make sense even in Japanese since the grammar was so weird, he just picked and choose words from each line)

Sebas’s line was a combination of “If you want to, do you want to do an aiaigasa (相合傘) with me?” “Come closer so you don’t get wet” “Don’t your joints hurt when it rains?”

“If you want… don’t your joints hurt?” “To not get wet, do you want to… do your joints hurt?” He always puts the “joint blah blah” line at the end it's so funny. There was also “Yoshihiko, do you want to do an aiaigasa? To not get wet, don’t your joints hurt?”

Sasuke’s lines were the combination of “... I’m worried about my caltrops. Sorry, lemme go get them~” “I had the caltrops out to dry but it’s all ruined…” “Are the caltrops okay… Caltrops…”

His was funny bc he would replace the caltrops w/the names so it would be like “I’m worried about (y/n)” “I had (y/n) to dry but… I have to go back” “(y/n)... It’s now all ruined…”

OVERALL, amazing collab I hope they did more but I only have 3 more episodes to watch, and sadly, none of the rest are ikesen/ikevamp collabs

Sengoku Cat Cafe (Kasugayama edition)

This is a translation of the bonus cat POV (!!!) stories that are from the castle gacha I got the above image from. There are 3 stories:

3rd party (starring Funiko ≽^•⩊•^≼, a cute little black kitten)

Kasugayama (starring Joururi /ᐠﹷ ‸ ﹷ ᐟ\ﾉ, a classy calico lady)

Azuchi (starring Kabutomaru /ᐠ ˃ ⤙ ˂ マ Ⳋ, a tough and proud tuxedo boy)

Kasugayama story

(This is the most popular tea shop in Kasugayama.) (My name is Joururi. And it's time to get to work today!) (The rest of you, to your stations. It's time to open up shop.)

Kenshin: There really are cats here.

Kanetsugu: It seems to get quite crowded in the afternoon, so coming here early was the right choice.

Yoshimoto: The cats here all have such lovely coats. They must be very well-cared for.

Sasuke: Mai was right when she said that this must be the origin of cat cafes. Sasuke: It must be very calming to be around all those cats.

Yukimura: There's so many cats here, how do you tell them apart...

Shingen: Let's enjoy this shop that our goddess recommended to us, shall we?

(These are the guests of honor from a while ago!)

Joururi: Meow, meow.

Yukimura: This one looks friendly.

(Their clothes are fine, they're handsome, and they look rich. Perfect!)

Joururi: Meow, meow... meow?

(Don't just stand there, do come in.)

Kenshin & Kanetsugu: This is...

Yoshimoto & Shingen: ...quite...

Sasuke & Yukimura: ...amazing.

(Aren't I? I'm quite the beauty, after all!) (Now, in you get.)

Shingen: Are you the store greeter? What a lovely lady you are.

(Hmph, don't think of me as a mere greeter.)

Yukimura: Well, she does have a pretty cute face.

(Just my face? Excuse me?)

Yoshimoto: Isn't her fur just lovely too? Come here...

(Ooh, this one has the right petting technique!) (I'll rank him number one, but don't worry, I'm sure the rest of you are nice enough.)

Sasuke: She looks very friendly with you already, Yoshimoto. She's already cuddling.

Yoshimoto: Hmm... "Joururi"? Look, her name is printed on this tag. Yoshimoto: The owner of this store must truly love the arts. You've been given a very beautiful name, Joururi.

(Note: Joururi 浄瑠璃 is a type of traditional musical theater)

Joururi: Meow~

Kenshin: I wasn't aware that cats could look so proud.

Sasuke: A beautiful man and a beautiful cat... I'm sure there are artists who would kill to paint this.

Yoshimoto: You try petting her too, Sasuke. Here.

(Glasses? ...Hm, men with glasses aren't to my taste. Hya!)

Sasuke: ! She batted my glasses off my face... Joururi, do you not like me?

(...Ooh! Very nice!)

Yukimura: First she hits Sasuke's glasses, now she's purring at him. What's with the sudden change in attitude?

Kanetsugu: Perhaps she hates glasses?

(This one isn't bad either. Very nice eyes, very sharp... very passionate...) (I'll be borrowing your lap now!)

Kanetsugu: Hey! Don't just jump like that, it's dangerous...

(Put down your tea on the table now. Pet me instead.)

Joururi: Nyaaa...

(He smells nice. I'll definitely make him mine.) (There isn't a man alive who could resist my charms- Eh? Wha!?)

Other cats: Meow~ Meow~~~

Yukimura: Whoa, all of them are swarming here.

Sasuke: They're all surrounding Kanetsugu.

Shingen: What a wicked man you are, Kanetsugu. What's your secret for capturing the hearts of so many fair ladies?

Kanetsugu: ...I think I know what this is about.

Kenshin: So what is it?

Kanetsugu: I think they smell Raizou on me. I was handling him earlier today.

(...Now that you mention it, he does smell kind of mouse-ish. So that's what it was.) (But! His face is still excellent!)

Joururi: Meow meow meow!

Shingen: Kanetsugu, pass her to me.

(Hey, wait!)

Shingen: Come on now, don't act like that. Being held like this isn't so bad, is it?

(Ah... Big hands... wide chest...) (...This man is dangerous. He's oozing with sex appeal.)

Kanetsugu: She seems to be enjoying it.

Shingen: Would you spare me some of your attention, pretty lady?

(Oho, I see that you've fallen for my charms and you're now head over heels for me.)

Yukimura: She's gone completely limp.

(Hmm. Pass on that one.)

Yukimura: Hey, Joururi.

(Speaking so casually to me? How impudent.)

Yukimura: What do you think of this?

Joururi: Mya!? Meow meow!!

Yukimura: It's pretty rough, but I think it turned out okay. It's a handmade cat toy.

Joururi: Meow...! ...Meow!!

(*panting*... You've got some nerve trying to bribe me.) (But... well, you are right. It's not half bad.)

Kenshin: And she's now licking her paw.

Sasuke: I suppose she wants to groom herself after running around after the toy.

Kenshin: Joururi.

Joururi: ! ...Meow?

Kenshin: Come here.

(W-what is this? There's something about his voice that's just irresistible...) (There's something about this man that just draws you in.)

Sasuke: She's purring quite loudly.

Kanetsugu: It's an honor for you to be petted by Lord Kenshin, Joururi.

(I don't know about 'honor', but it does feel very nice... I could get used to this.)

Other cats: Meow~ Meow~~

Kenshin: They've gathered.

Sasuke: So not even cats are immune to Lord Kenshin's charisma.

Kenshin: Mai would enjoy herself if she were here surrounded by all these cats.

(Don't pay attention to any of them, just keep petting me~)

Shopkeeper: Welcome, sirs. If you'd like to feed the cats, we have some food prepared here.

Kanetsugu: We'll take some. I suppose we just have to pass them out?

Shopkeeper: Yes, sir, of course... This little one is adorable, isn't she? Shopkeeper: She was originally a stray, but I couldn't help myself after seeing how cute she was, so I adopted her. Shopkeeper: And now I couldn't ask for a better partner.

(Well, I am the face of this store, after all.)

Sasuke: That's quite a smug look you have there, Joururi.

Yukimura: You like it when we give you compliments, don't you?

Yoshimoto: She is very beautiful indeed. There's much to compliment about her.

Kanetsugu: It's a good thing we were able to preview this place, Lord Kenshin.

Kenshin: It is.

Shingen: You'll probably be getting another guest very soon, Joururi. Do be nice to her, okay?

(I don't know who they're talking about... but well, it looks like they're all completely hopelessly bound by my charms.)

Joururi: Meow!

Yoshimoto: You'll let me pet you a little longer, won't you, Joururi?

Sasuke: I'll take off my glasses, so let me pet you too.

(Surrounded by handsome men and complimented all day... Ah, life is great.)

Even if I Become a Ghost (1)

This is simply a fan translation and is not intended as a replacement for the game. Expect grammatical errors.

Misfortune always comes unexpectedly, perhaps even at this very moment.

Mai: "Huh?"

Before I knew it, I was standing in the familiar hallway of the trading post.

Mai: "What was I doing again?"

(I remember I was sewing in my room, and then...)

Kicho's voice: "Mai..."

(Kicho?)

Suddenly, my thoughts were interrupted by a voice coming from Kicho's room.

(It's not yet time for him to return from work.)

(Did something happen?)

For some reason, the door was left open, so I entered the room.

(Huh?)

Kicho: ".........."

He was sitting on a chair next to the bed, gazing at someone lying down.

Mai: "Kicho?"

Kicho: ".........."

I had a bad feeling about his oblivious reaction to my voice.

(Who could possibly be in that place?)

Filled with indescribable anxiety, I approached the bed and gently peeked.

Mai: "No way..."

I staggered in shock at what I saw.

It was undoubtedly someone I knew too well.

(Why am I in the bed?)

Kicho: “Why?”

He looked down at me, lying on the bed, and furrowed his eyebrows tightly.

Kicho: “Mai, please wake up.”

(Is this a dream?)

The situation was too much for me to comprehend.

Mai: “Um, Kicho…”

Even though I called out in confusion, my voice was drowned out by hurried footsteps.

Subordinate: “Lord Kicho, excuse me.”

I turned around, and his subordinate, who had entered forcefully, approached right in front of me.

(He’s gonna bump into me!)

(Wait, what!?)

For a moment, I didn’t understand what had happened.

However, his subordinate, who should’ve collided with me, was somehow behind me.

(He just passed through my body.)

(Is that even possible?)

I quickly checked my own body and realized that my feet were transparent.

(What is this? What happened to me?)

Subordinate: “---?”

Kicho: “What’s wrong?”

Subordinate: "I just suddenly felt a chill. It was probably just my imagination."

Subordinate: "More importantly, regarding your recent appointments, I was able to reschedule everything."

Kicho: "Good work. What about the business negotiations?"

Subordinate: "Generally, there are no problems. However, when dealing with foreign merchants..."

Kicho: "Yeah, considering the language barrier, I have no choice but to go myself."

Subordinate: "I apologize for not being able to do more."

Kicho: "No, it's enough. You may leave."

Subordinate: "Yes, sir."

Once the subordinate left and closed the door, silence returned.

Kicho: "Sorry for the commotion."

He looked at me with a stern expression. His gaze, filled with bitterness, made my heart ache.

(This isn't a dream. This is reality.)

(But why is this happening?)

I desperately tried to remember everything that happened.

During the day, I was happily carrying the kimonos.

This was because I had made plans to go out with Kicho tomorrow.

------------Flashback-----------

Kicho: "Mai, it's sudden, but can you clear your schedule for tomorrow?"

Mai: "Yes. If I finish my work by the end of today, it should be okay."

Mai: "Is there any work that I can help with?"

Kicho: "No, I checked the schedule to invite you to a date."

(What? A date?)

Mai: "But you have work scheduled every day, right?"

Kicho: "I adjusted my schedule."

Kicho: "I know you're busy too. So if you don't want to go, I'll respect your decision."

(No way!)

Mai: "I'll go! Of course, I'll go."

Mai: "I'm really happy that you invited me."

Kicho: "I see. Then, let me take you to a newly opened shop at the harbor."

Mai: "Okay!"

I couldn't help but smile as he narrowed his eyes and smiled.

(Kicho's really kind to adjust his schedule just to invite me for a date.)

(I need to finish my work and prepare for tomorrow.)

I walked down the stairs, carrying the kimonos, when一

(Crap!)

---------Flashback Ends--------

My foot slipped, and my body floated in mid-air. Then, a sharp pain struck me, and that's when my memory was cut off.

(Did I become a ghost because I fell down the stairs and died?)

I didn't want to believe it, but I was undoubtedly lying on the bed.

With trembling hands due to shock and fear, I reached out to him.

My fingertips passed through him, unable to touch or grasp anything.

(No, I don't want to believe it.)

(I'm here, right now, by your side.)

Mai: "Kicho!"

Kicho: “----!”

I leaned over to cling to him, and he turned around.

I stepped back in surprise, and Kicho stared at me intently.

Kicho: "Weird. I felt like Mai called me."

(Did he notice?)

Mai: "It's not weird! It's me! I'm right here!"

Kicho: "........"

I shouted, but my voice didn't reach him.

Eventually, he shifted his gaze back to me, lying on the bed with tired eyes.

(Why? My voice reached him earlier.)

(Oh, maybe...)

Timidly, I placed my hand on top of his.

Mai: "Kicho, can you hear me?"

Kicho: "Mai?"

He stood up, looking around in disbelief.

(I knew it! I knew I could reach him this way.)

Mai: "Yes, it's me! It might be hard to believe, but I'm right in front of you. It looks like I became a ghost a little while ago."

Kicho: "A ghost?"

Mai: “I'm still confused myself.”

I told him how I fell down the stairs and found myself in front of his room.

I also clarified that my voice couldn’t reach him unless I touched him.

Kicho: “So, you’re touching me right now?”

Mai: “Yes, our hands are touching.”

Kicho: “I see.”

His stern expression slightly softened, and he wrapped both of his hands around mine.

(Usually, I could feel Kicho’s warmth, but...)

My fingertips remained cold.

Mai: “I still don’t want to believe I died in this way.”

(I still want to continue living with him.)

My voice trembled, and he raised an eyebrow.

Kicho: “What are you talking about? You’re not dead.”

Mai: “Huh?”

Kicho: "You're still alive. Your breathing is weak, but it's still there."

(Alive?)

I nervously put my face close to mine, and sure enough, my chest was moving up and down.

Mai: "You're right! Thank God. I'm still alive."

Kicho: "Yeah. You fell down the stairs yesterday and hit your head hard."

(It's been more than a day since then.)

He let out a small sigh and shifted his gaze towards me, sleeping in bed.

Kicho: "The reason you won't wake up is likely due to the severe impact."

Kicho: "But since we're in the Sengoku era, we can't really use modern technology to examine your head."

Apparently, he'd adjusted his schedule and had been constantly by my side since I collapsed.

(So I'm like a wandering soul separated from my body.)

It seemed unbelievable at first, but experiencing it firsthand left no room for doubt.

Mai: "I can't believe something like this is happening, but I'm glad I'm not dead."

(If I'm alive, I can still return to my body.)

I felt relieved, but Kicho's expression remained stern.

Kicho: "You're right. But you can't let your guard down."

Kicho: "Unlike the time you came from, this is a turbulent era where even IV drips are nonexistent."

Kicho: "Surviving in a state of unconsciousness has its limits."

(I see, so there are no devices or medication to maintain my current body.)

He reached out and gently stroked my cheek as I remained unconscious.

Kicho: "If what you say is true and you're speaking through your soul, then we need to return you to your body as soon as possible."

Japanese text:

"At Nobunaga's response, Kichou exuded an air of mild irritation."

Kichou: "It's hard to believe that this is the words of the Great Lord* Oda Nobunaga."

*) In this part Kichou uses 公 honourific instead of 様. 公 is generally understood as “more lofty/grand” than 様.

... I just don’t get why did the translator do it like this? Like, for one, it’s weird as heck that they made it Kichou’s first person POV when the original is a third person narration. 

Another thing is that why did they make Kichou get hissy like that (even if it’s inwardly)? Like, the impression I got from the JP is that it’s really mostly just a cold displeasure on Kichou’s part. While the Eng translation makes it seem like he’s just very visibly fuming (”emotionless mask broke”). 

Like, why tho. Unlike with MC and Sasuke I just don’t get why this is done this way. The only part that I feel makes sense is rendering 公 as “my lord” with the quotes, since there’s really no English equivalent of this. Unless maybe you want to make him say “Your Highness”.

#translation woes #ikesen #ikesen eng

[ceruleanwhore]

I can’t stop thinking about an ikesen AU where instead of Mai the MC is a foreign tourist from abroad and doesn’t actually know Japanese, so she’s whipping out her phone and using the Google Translate app from the very beginning just to understand what these people are saying. Just imagine foreign!MC standing in front of the burning building she just saved Nobunaga from using her phone to awkwardly translate an explanation of being from the future and then having the robot voice badly read the translation with the volume all the way up. Like she has to replay it five times and show them the text before they get it because it’s that bad.

Oh and then it would be a race to get conversational Japanese before her phone dies while this girl has the Oda forces working to prematurely invent electricity because she has her charger on her and if she could just plug it in she’d have her phone. Of course, Sasuke would find her like in canon but now he’d be joining the Oda in their endeavor to invent electricity because of course he would. Also, he would definitely speak MC’s native language but would hide that from everyone because of how badly he wants to do nerdy science shit with historical figures.

🤪 - Kenshin (ikesen) please?

Thank you!

Will you forgive me for shamelessly putting my own meme into this... credits to the original poster t/homas_violence on twitter ofc!

[🤪] 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚝𝚘𝚕𝚍 𝙺𝚎𝚗𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚗 𝚊 𝚓𝚘𝚔𝚎, 𝚑𝚘𝚙𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚘 𝚖𝚊𝚔𝚎 𝚑𝚒𝚖 𝚕𝚊𝚞𝚐𝚑…

KENSHIN:

"...What's a Nissan Pulsar?"

Oh. He didn't laugh. Now you feel awkward.

You have just told Kenshin a joke that you and Sasuke came up with, inspired by how often you have to translate things back and forth between archaic and modern terms. It goes like this: Committing seppuku (ritual suicide) with my wakizashi (small sword) because I failed my daimyo (feudal lord) by crashing his Nissan pulsar (untranslatable)

To his question, you simply echo the last part of the joke. It's untranslatable.

Kenshin's facial expression doesn't change one bit. He puts his hand on his chin.

"Sasuke knows I'd kill him if he dares to kill himself."

...Well, you guess that makes sense.

"It's good that he possesses no wakizashi."

...That's true.

"And I'm in no possession of any Nissan Pulsars yet, so we shouldn't worry about any of that."

Yet?!

You're both quiet. Kenshin still has his hand on his chin.

. . .

"Haha."

What's with that overdue, super-fake-sounding, almost creepy laughter??

"I love your jokes. I'm glad that you include me in them. It's our joke now."

Ignoring the way Sasuke has been brutally erased from anything spoken in the last five minutes, you sigh and let out a small laughter of your own, which ends up sounding as fake as Kenshin's... but the truth is, you're terribly enamored of him at this moment.

Sengoku Cat Cafe (3rd party characters edition)

This is a translation of the bonus cat POV (!!!) stories that are from the castle gacha I got the above image from. There are 3 stories:

3rd party (starring Funiko ≽^•⩊•^≼, a cute little black kitten)

Kasugayama (starring Joururi /ᐠﹷ ‸ ﹷ ᐟ\ﾉ, a classy calico lady)

Azuchi (starring Kabutomaru /ᐠ ˃ ⤙ ˂ マ Ⳋ, a tough and proud tuxedo boy)

3rd party faction story

(This is a tea shop near Sakai port. Funiko's new home.) (The grandpa who owns this shop just adopted me.) (I'm this shop's maneki-neko, I guess? Anyway, it's time to work today!)

Kicho: I knew it. So this was the store Mai was talking about.

(Ah, it's Mr. Merchant!) (Funiko remembers him from last time, when he came with one of his subordinates.)

Funiko: Meow.

Kicho: ...You look like you're doing well.

(Now that I look closer, he looks like a kind person...)

Motonari: ! What are you doing here... Don't tell me you were taking her seriously...

Kicho: ...Isn't that what you're doing here yourself?

(Hmmm? 'Her'? Who do they mean? What are they talking about?)

Kennyo: This is the place she was talking about... Ah.

Motonari: You too, huh.

Kicho: We're bothering the other guests. Let's head inside first.

Kennyo: It does seem quite crowded, true.

Motonari: There's only one empty table back there.

Kicho: We've got no choice, then. We'll sit together.

Motonari: A "cat cafe", huh. The hell's so good about a place like this anyway...

(Eep, this person is a little scary, maybe...)

Kicho: Motonari, you're scaring the kitten. Don't be too forceful. You have to pet her gently.

Motonari: Hah? Don't tell me what to do.

Kennyo: Come here... There, there, that's a good girl.

Funiko: Mew...

(Ah, there, that spot on my neck, ahhh... He knows all of the best scratching spots...)

Owner: It's just about time for her to eat, so would you like to try feeding her?

(Yay, it's fish time! Funiko loves fish time!)

Motonari: She sure got a dopey look on her face all of a sudden. Reminds me of a certain someone...

(Ahh... He can smile like that too, huh. I wonder who he's talking about?)

Kicho: Pay no mind to Motonari. Come, eat.

Motonari: Heh, smart kid. 'Course she's running to the person holding the spoon.

Funiko: Mya, myaaa!

Kicho: Take it easy. If you eat that fast, you're going to choke.

(Fiiiine...)

Kicho: Good girl.

(Phew... now that I'm full, I'm getting sleepy...) (...That looks soft...)

Funiko: Meow, meow...

Motonari: What's she doing, stepping all over my cape?

Kicho: It's called kneading. I've heard that cats engage in such behavior when they feel at ease.

Motonari: ...Wasn't she scared of me a minute ago?

(Ahh, this kimono feels really nice.)

Kennyo: Cats are cautious creatures by nature... but this little one is still a baby. Kennyo: Perhaps she has perceived your true nature, and feels that she can trust you?

Motonari: ...The hell are you implying?

Kennyo: You like small animals, don't you?

Motonari: ...Who knows. Not like I love them.

(Small animals? So, like cats?) (Hmmmm.... sleepy........)

Kicho: ...She's asleep.

Motonari: Oi, don't sleep on that.

Kennyo: Motonari, leave her be.

Kicho: She'll wake up on her own eventually.

(I'm not scared anymore, good night...)

And so, curled up in a soft cape, Funiko had a very good nap.
