Translator's note on suzuracles post-wedding dialogue
It's hard to direct-translate Suzume's tone indicators to English so I could only do my best to imitate her playful tone at the end of each sentence (even though the content/first half is serious she kept the lovestruck persona ending it in "wah~!")
This passage is a bit difficult to me so I checked the dictionary twice. I spent a long time on Suzume's last line. I can't be sure if it is i-u-hou (the speaker) or i-u-kata (the tone+diction) but combining Suzume's tone I think it's the latter one. And, "tsumi". I'm aware of the better-known from W as "sins" but the word has duality and what is sinful may not be illegal, what is illegal may not be sinful (off-track). And we are talking about a morally grey character.
Analysis
The most intriguing suzuracles to me is, they might be the closest in position in terms of sacrificing their personal self for their country, to present a public persona yet they could never confide in anyone, not even to each other, especailly not, even though they knew the other is in the same position as themself. Yet, they have lived under the same roof with each other longer than they did with their own family. That real? not real? love into hatred? hatred into love? into mutual understanding? The quantum state of it is the most captivating to me for them as foils.
I think Suzume is conscious in keeping referring to Racules as "Racules-sama" instead of in second person to keep a distance between them. Let alone "anata" in the "[my] husband" sense. It's okay to love "Racules-sama", it's easy to play the innocent captive of "Racules-sama", but she has seen Racules. Late at night, in between schemes, behind polite threats. Can one fully hate a worthy opponent?
observations:
ラ 「間に合わせだ。売ったところで二束三文にしかならない」
ス 「私を何だと思ってらっしゃるの!?私とラクレス様の愛の結晶に、値段などつけられませんわ」
Racules is testing Suzume. He has no need to play games with her. He knew she was there for Toufu to profit from the start (alt-shugod aid to Toufu in wake of Wrath of Gods).
Translated: Hold on to the ring (game-changer item)
ラ 「…時に君の正気を疑うことがある」
ス 「無理もありません。ラクレス様への愛が、私を狂わせるんですもの!」
ラ 「愛ではなく、憎しみだろう。スズメ・ディボウスキ」
Racules is letting himself show, if a little, if vulnerability, to gain her trust? Suzume DYBOWSKI. DYBOWSKI. THIS MAN CALLED HIS NEWLY WEDDED WIFE HER FAMILY NAME. He knows Suzume will always put Toufu/Dybowski before him or Shugoddom, but she's the only one he can count on now. Because she said it herself, her devotion (to "Racules-sama") is mad unwavered.
ラ 「国のため、道具にされ続け、それでも正気でいられる道理は何だ」
Convince me Racules is not talking about himself. Do, try.
ス 「…トウフの女は、地に足ついてこそ。信ずる道を、踏み外したりはしませんわ」
This line is so hardcore?? More importantly, I can totally see Kamura-san's delievery. Quiet at first, the cold in her eyes, then the naive switch grin at the end!
ラクレスがふっと微笑む。 ラ 「やはり度し難いな」
Suzume managed to make Racules smile! It doesn't specify if he was amused or relieved Suzume caught his metaphor. This is what we are talking about the actor filling in for the script. Then Yano-san's performance can be interpreted a thousand ways based on each viewer! A more literal translation of 度し難い is "beyond help". I think it can also mean the person is beyond salvage as in nothing can change their determination (positive). Racules is talking about himself too! if wryly!
Translated: "you are part of my plan. don't ever change."
ラ 「その指輪は、太陽を浴びて輝く。目を焼かれぬよう、気をつけろ」
Racules-sama, can you be more obvious. Put the wedding ring under the sun to read my secret message, just like I did with what Vetaria left me in my spin-off. The fire imagery!! (re: inferno, re: takamina's "he who shines on the world must burn himself to do so" tweet!!)

Japan Expo Malaysia Day 2 (27 July 2019) Part 1
Note: This report needs to be split into 2 parts. Because it’ll be long. You’ll see why.
Alright, before the day started, I met up with an online friend (let’s just call her N) and we decided to watch some performances before AKB48’s arrival. I’ve promised to see KiREI again with Hanapii the day before so of course I’d see them again. I hoped they would remember me. From the start of their performance Hanapii had already noticed me and waved at me (man was I so happy that I vigorously waved at her). I got a lot of attention from them, especially from Hanapii and Mianyan. Their bright smiles, their waves, their nods, all of those, so many of those would make anyone fall for them. N, who was standing beside me got pretty excited too and she could see why I fell for them because their fanservice was so good! As I busied myself shifting between taking pictures, recording and waving at them, I realized the reason why they noticed and waved at me so much was because N, who was taller than me (well I’m a smol potato so pretty much everyone is taller than me lmao) waved at them and kept pointing at me and making peace signs at the back of my head lmaoooo. No wonder the girls were smiling so much! (Thanks N, love you so much for this). Side note is that I really, really loved Hanapii’s hairstyle for the 2nd day, she looked so adorable. Chori-chan’s hairstyle reminds me a lot of Takamina, with her long hair and the red ribbon. And Mianyan’s smile was so wide that I legit had to look away most of the time our eyes met hahahaha.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Time for the meet-and-greet. Once again I felt like I was the only girl who joined the line (actually I think there was one girl who wanted to join but after asking me how much each Cheki ticket and shirt and towel cost, she turned around. I couldn’t blame her though since I was intimidated by the price at first). When it was my turn to buy the tickets, I wanted to get the towel, but decided against it at the last minute lol, the man who was selling them seemed to remember me cuz he was very much more welcoming to me than the customers before me. When it came my turn, Hanapii was so happy she started bouncing while waving at me and calling my name three times (So. Darn. Cute! Also, here’s the thing, I still cannot get used to people calling me with a ‘Chan’ so it literally felt like getting arrowed on the heart). She even started to immediately pat my head (the perks of being smol I guess. Wait...) Unfortunately, that was too much for me to handle so I kinda leaned back a bit while giggling a lot. I hope that didn’t offend her or anything. I also told her that I couldn’t look at her in the eyes because the view was too blinding puhahahah! For the first round, she and I took a picture with a heart pose, and for the second round it was the pa! pose (where we opened both of our palms). While she was signing the polaroid pictures she opened the topic of Twitter. She mentioned that she saw my account (the night before she liked my reply on one of her posts! I just did not expect she’d be one to bring it up) and apparently, she looked at my profile and noticed that I make illustrations and comics. I was legit so very happy that I was blushing so much. I made a promise to her; I would draw them an illustration and comics for them. I thought she was already smiling hard enough but that made her grip my hand (when she wasn’t supposed to) and squealed. She also asked me if it was gonna be in Japanese, to which I said I’d do it in English too, since I make my illustrations and comics in both languages. She then patted my head while saying “Ah~ so smart” in English. I couldn’t help but think that she may own a dog cuz honestly if I had a tail it would be wagging vigorously. She then proceeded to say that she’ll look forward to it and I KNEW that I would make that illustration no matter what. It was time to go so I told her that I would come the next day, to which she said she’d look for me. My thought was like “You know where to look for me since I always attend at your concerts at the same spot” but I didn’t tell her that cuz I didn’t want to sound obnoxious. I went back to N, who was saving our spot and showed her the polaroid pictures and told her my experience and how I’ve really fallen for Hanapii (again) hahahah. So that was the end of KiREI’s experience in Day 2.
Tumblr media
For the rest of time before AKB48’s arrival, N and I were thinking to get something to drink or eat, but since we didn’t want to lose our perfect spot, we just sat on the floor and waited lol. After KiREI, was a performance by Riona Hamamatsu, who was actually a former member of Team 8, like what are the odds, right??? She came in, and man was she pretty!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What I’m impressed the most about her is how successful she is after leaving AKB48, as according to Aki, she has done several concerts outside Japan. I was at first thought, “Is she good in English”, and THEN she started speaking in perfect English, without an accent which surprised me more, what more can this girl do?? So amazing! When I checked on her, turns out she was raised in Los Angeles until she was 10, which explained her fluency, and that her full name is Riona Crystal Hamamatsu. What I thought was “Well, she definitely has grown and became more successful after leaving AKB. Good for her!!” Her performance opened with her doing a solo dance, and following that were brilliant performances, as she sang some Japanese songs and one song in English. There was one point in her performance that she started throwing 3 colored balls with her signature on them, and to be honest, even though I wasn’t even her fan, I wanted one! Well as expected, she only threw them at the center part of the audience haha.
After Riona, it’s Sorgenti who was performed by brothers Mitsuhiro and Hiroshi, along with their two back dancers. What I loved about their performance and song is how they are a mixture of traditional music and J-pop, so there was a great amount of energy rushed into you and their songs were fun to chant along with. I joined in every one of their chants such as “Ou!” “Washoi!” and “Sore sore!” They were just that fun to follow along. Not to mention their own respective voices were beautiful and honey-like. So their concert was legit fun to attend and makes one very happy to be part of the audience. Furthermore, their smiles were very contagious too!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The next performer is Banzai Japan, which was an idol group where each member represents their individual prefectures from Japan, so there are 47 members in total, but for this event, there were only 7 performers. What I liked about this group was that they definitely were not afraid to get close to the audience since there were many times they’d stand, squat and dance so close to me and N (which very excited us by the way hahahah). Aside from that, their dances were fun and energetic too and there was one dance I legit wanted to dance along to.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Last but not least, the one right before AKB48, was DJ Hello Kitty. As her name implies, Hello Kitty donned her bling dress and started to play music to hype the audience as a DJ. Okay, here’s the thing, I knew that by now 99% of the audience was saving their voice and energy for AKB48’s arrival, but holy molly poor DJ Hello Kitty did not get much hype despite playing hype music (okay there were some parts when the audience did follow along but there wasn’t much). The atmosphere was low enough that the hosts (Aki and Austin) had to step up into the stage to rile up the audience. That worked at some level, but N and I still felt quite bad for DJ Hello Kitty, and I did not want her to feel unappreciated so I tried to follow along as much as I could. Honestly this taught me that to be a wota, you have to have high stamina as well as being quite fit in order to not get tired quickly (is this a call for me to start working out???).

Day 1 report is here! To be continued in Part 2!

AtsuMina (request)
“Let’s go.”
“Acchan… where exactly are we going?” Takamina awoke, glaring at her partner.
“I’ll tell you later.” Acchan smirked as she handed the jacket over.
Takamina followed her out to the warm night. Upon the days where the sweat came easily, it was better to have the jacket around before entering into the station. The cool effects inside lowered the body temperature and the worse was to feel overheated upon entering a cold place. Takamina wrapped the jacket around her body as they slipped into the underground entrance into the station nearby.
“So… what are we doing?” Takamina pondered.
“Going into Akihabara.” Acchan announced. “We have an event.”
“Why isn’t it on my calendar that we have an event?” Takamina growled.
“Because you wouldn’t come with me if I said so, since you would ask me a lot of questions. It is just an outing however it was also something that I wanted you for anyway.”
“That’s quite confusing but since you know… I’ll go with it.” Takamina nodded as they passed through the gates and stepped up onto the platform.
The lack of people was awkward for the timing as the usual crowd would be packed inside. Takamina took the seat by the door with Acchan following and sitting with her eyes scanning the sparsity of the car. The quiet area made her nervous as she tugged on Acchan’s shirt when she turned her head.
“Is it forbidden?” Takamina asked.
“Not really… just something normal and yet a new idea.” Acchan explained.
Takamina delve into the consideration. Acchan had been one to drag her to some of the exotic themes of life. She knew too much into her secrets however she had a way out of the situations if it had gone sour. The ride was quiet throughout, making its stops however the few people that were there left exited the stations after before hearing the familiar name as Acchan stood and swung for the door.
“Akihabara?” Takamina spat.
“Yeah… we just have to go through some of the traffic.” Acchan reported when the train pulled up to the platform.
Exiting the car, Acchan rushed towards the first escalator as Takamina trailed, desperately following the woman through the crowd until the gate where they placed their phones onto the scanner before trotting out to the stairs up to the street level where the lights were a natural greeting for their lives. Takamina watched her swing her head side to side before pointing back towards the familiar site of their existence.
After crossing the street, she paced through the crowd, passing by the Don Quiote until stopping at the alleyway and then continued down the path when they came upon a opening. Acchan led up the stairs with the stomping of their feet being the only noise before pausing and turning the knob to a dark area as they continued walking when Takamina grabbed her friend.
“Can you please tell me?” She begged.
“I always wanted to try out being a maid in a maid cafe. It’ll be cool to just hide our identities while we serve customers. I have an old friend who is allowing us a two hour shift.” Acchan reported when she turned the knob. “Hey!”
“I thought you guys weren’t going to make it~” The woman in a pastel pink top and black skirt smiled as Acchan and her hugged. “Takahashi Minami, I assume.”
“Yes. Nice to meet you.” Takamina bowed.
“Same. Acchan told you what is going on here. It is a secret however many have their preferences and we set them up that way so we have an area for you guys.” The woman reported as she guided them to the next room. “This is the dressing room.”
“Okay! Let’s get dressed.” Acchan cheered as Takamina exhaled loudly to the costume on the hanger.
Takamina observed the woman walking towards the door, closing it behind them as Acchan pulled off her shirt. She stared upon Acchan’s body as she remembered the shape before slipping off the jacket and pulling the shirt off her body and turning away towards the stand. Takamina had grown to adapt and don’t be overzealous over others. However, she knew Acchan wouldn’t mind her scanning her body.
“I think a little flashing wouldn’t hurt right?” Acchan spoke as she slipped on the skirt.
Takamina in many senses was cautious about everything, pulling down her shorts to place the safety shorts over her lower half. She pulled up the skirt when the woman who had greeted them handed over two white masks. Both grabbed it and placed it over their nose and mouth before following the woman out onto the floor. She pointed to a section where two people were and the duo walked over.
“Welcome… We are Atsu and Mina.” Acchan greeted to them. “What’s your order?”
“Tea and cake, please.” The male customer smiled. “This is actually my first time.”
“Cool~ Okay… Mina will get the items.” Acchan pointed as Takamina saw the kitchen area.
“I need the sheet. The item to know what they need for us.” Takamina reported as Acchan patted her body before Takamina reached over to hand her the pad and pen for the order.
Handing the order over, Takamina paced over to the opening and hanged it upon the line. She stared over to the two workers, one with the cake, cutting a wedge about a size of a doorstop and the other person filling the kettle with a hot liquid and placed the cap over it. She gripped the tray she received and walked over to the table. Takamina grabbed the pad and moved to the next table as Acchan got to perform her trick.
“Special A.” The customer yelped.
“Tea and cake.” The second one added as she jotted it down and ripped the paper to hand to the staff.
Waiting seemed to draw the worse of their patience as Takamina walked over to the next table for their order. The person who introduced them was setting up the stage. Takamina slid the next order across as she got the second table’s items and handed it off.
“Okay… follow me. Muni Muni Muni Muni.” Takamina snickered.
The table followed with a reserved enthusiasm, getting through with a hint of a smile. Takamina paced over to the kitchen with Acchan taking the next order on the last table within their area. Following the same routine, she sensed a comfortable position with the next group as she felt a tug. Acchan swayed her eyes over to the stage when she saw the lights dimmed. Getting the last order in, she stepped near the door when it opened as another two walked inside.
The woman walked back over to the duo and smiled towards them. Takamina sensed the trap and stepped back as Acchan stepped up to the microphone. Takamina pulled the door to the back and weaved back into the dressing room. The brief period brought a realization that two hours was different than performing as she took to the chair and noted the paper as the information was crossed out.
“Hey! What are you doing back here?” Acchan called as the woman followed her.
“Sorry… I called them to tell them they were off and came in anyway. It seems odd however… you guys can stay here for the time or leave. I was expecting only having you guys two but they came…” The woman winked as Acchan closed the door behind them.
“I wanted to perform but my friend dragged me away since it was a request… How about… we have fun?” Acchan suggested as she pulled the blouse out from the skirt.
Seeing Acchan in the beige bra, Takamina leaned in to unbutton as she noted her partner doing so with her bra thrown to the side. Acchan walked over to the couch slowly, plopping onto the furniture with her legs legs parted and the fingers resting upon the material. She reached back for her own item and lowered it as she joined her and yanked down the safety shorts. Acchan grabbed the wrist, leading it over to the area, and stroked the dampened material.
“You sure?” Takamina whispered.
Acchan flashed a smirk before placing the hand into the underwear. The tangled mess tickled her hand as she drove the hand further upon the slick surface. She followed with her own hand upon the partner’s as the swift reaction made Takamina red and the slight jerk of her body upon the entry of the finger.
“You should stop playing with yourself and get a toy or a man.” Acchan murmured.
“I can’t… just can’t.” Takamina moaned as she felt her hand free of the resistance and saw the mass of black upon her partner.
“Don’t stare and go for it.” Acchan growled back as Takamina took to the floor.
It was normal to have her take control of her urges. Takamina shoved the two in deeply as she started the thrusts within the canal. Her cries were always beautiful and attractive. It was sugar to her to feel the lust build up in the body. She felt the canal tightening around her fingers as she pushed through although distraction from her free hand pressing up to her own core had made it worse to not get her partner going before Acchan tapped her on the head.
“Let’s go off together~” She stated with her hand caught red handed upon her body.
Takamina yanked off the underwear and laid upon Acchan. The fingers were a welcoming sign upon the time she hadn’t felt someone else penetrating her sex. The slight motion from the other side gave her the memories from night before and moved the head down upon the fragrant core. The tongue dancing around the top forced the body to jerk with the thrusts coming quicker from the end.
“Hold on a bit more.” Takamina noted as she slowed her movements while Acchan had accelerated.
The loud sound caught both off guard as Takamina glanced upon the closed door. The spray came upon the arm rest as Takamina felt the peak hit and paused as she rolled off and ducked into the bathroom. Acchan followed her in as they closed the door. The cramped space forced Takamina to squeeze her body further into the room as the excretion dribbled out into the bowl below.
“What happened?” Acchan pondered.
“I’m not sure but you have to check outside since our clothes are scattered.” Takamina moaned when Acchan swung the door open.
The two women stood in awe of the others staring upon their bodies. Acchan stood frozen briefly before bowing and grabbing the clothes from the floor. Takamina closed the door to the bathroom as the warmth of her body brought her into an overload of emotion. Acchan opened the door again as the clothes were stuffed in her hands. Turning on the light inside, Takamina extracted the clothes from the pile and dressed herself upon the dance within the space.
Takamina pushed out first and saw the room empty again. The fear had grown that they would tell Acchan’s friend and hadn’t returned. She headed out the door where the performance was still going on when the loud crash again and she walked away from the area to the door. Walking down the stairs, she saw Acchan from above run after her as she waited and saw a smile.
“Why are you smiling?” Takamina moaned.
“The loud crash… happens often. Also, I had to get the video from the camera in the room.” Acchan stuck out her tongue.
“What?!” Takamina snapped as she showed the small item in her hand.
“Yeah… the thing is a five minute recurring video so I placed a new one in there. I also left a note that I changed it.” She smiled as they continued walking. “I hate when I have sex and don’t clean up.”
“Acchan… never again.”
