YTIF 7. I Want to Go Home

RAW: http://ncode.syosetu.com/n2074cz/7/

A classmate told me that Blogger allows you to write your own php file. That means I don’t need to create next-previous button for every chapter manually. I can make a countdown to expected chapter update. It has built in google analytics. I can do many things unlike wordpress which doesn’t allow me to install any plugin.

And ads…

I’m still trying it out so maybe I will post chapter 8 there and see how you guys think about it.

Without further ado… Thank you for coming and please enjoy the chapter

YTIF 6. Anything You Said is Not Important

My thesis is not going so well but my report is going quite smoothly. That being said, the me who translating this chapter right now is trying to procrastinate.

I made a paypal, patreon, and adfly page so please be kind enough to open any of them and so I can afford to print my internship report. The printing price is godly. Each copy of my report can feed me for 3 days.

“What?”

Tenshi’s sharp tone was flying at me. I rubbed my pained stomach and turned around so I can’t look at his face.

Even if I don’t look at him, his ikemen’s aura is just as bad. Just as I expected, I can feel his presence from anywhere. No matter how much I turn my eyes, it feels like he’s right in front of my eyes.

What kind of torture is this? I can’t even defend from it. I can’t even bear the disgust anymore. If it’s the level of celebrity you see on TV, you can still endure it. But this is CG level of beauty!!

“Dakara, please return me to my original world. I don’t like it either, suddenly brought like this without being told anything and forced a role that I don’t want to take”

The woman around Tenshi, well… they seemed to be angered by my voice. Oy, I’m the one who’s angry! It’s difficult to say, but your faces are not helping my nausea.

Those old men couldn’t believe the words I said. Sorry, but I haven’t changed my words even until now. So why do you look so surprised?

“Hoo? Do you want to return to the Blue World?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Why do you think I would choose a world without my family and friends?”

(TL: And toothbrushes. Don’t forget the toothbrushes”)

Tenshi started to laugh with a voice like scraping the ground.

It’s an annoying laugh. I can hear my anger flopped.

“Rather than family and friends, serving me should be more worthwhile, is it not?”

Aaa… this is useless. I just can’t understand it anymore.

After hearing his sentence, I just don’t want to understand him anymore.

What the hell are you laughing at?

From those women’s around Tenshi, I can understand that they think every single one of Tenshi’s word is correct. That is surely the ‘common sense’ here.

“No. For you, it might be so. But I don’t want to”

Taking the story up until now, everything is really unpredictable. I felt like I was repeating the same word to an moody alien. My stress value is reaching more than my anger. My stomach began to hurt again.

“It seems that you are different”

“Ha? Of course I will be different”

“Why is that?”

On the other hand, Tenshi began to ask me a weird question. What’s so funny about it? I really don’t understand. I don’t want to understand.

Seriously? You really don’t know why I want to return? Are you seriously don’t know that?

“………………………………………….. Tenshi’s job. It’s to maintain this Scarlet World, is it not?”

After a long silence, those words are finally came out of my mouth.

It seems that I was consuming energy in an amazing rate. I felt more tired than when I was taking the high school entrance interview exam.

“…. … Oh, yes. Yes, that’s right, because you are from the Blue World, I think that something is wrong and that Scarlet World can do something. That is what I believe.”

(TL: I asked around and none of my anime enthusiast friends can help me with this line. The RAW is : 「……ああ、そうだな。ふん、そうか。お前は蒼海の世の者であるから、私がどうにかなり、紅の世がどうにかなっても良いと、そう考えているのだな」)

Ugh.. It’s useless to talk anymore. He talks about it so easily. He just talks like that and laugh without realizing what’s wrong.

I don’t even have any motivation to be angry anymore.

I don’t understand why he laughs, and I understand that I will not understand why he laughs, even if someone explains it to me.

To be honest, I don’t know what should I do to return to my own world. My common sense is didn’t match this world’s common sense at all and I have noticed that they don’t realize the difference too.

If it’s different from the start, then there’s no meaning even if you get angry to every single one of them.

“…………….. You ungrateful kid!!”

I was surprised at first because a woman sitting beside Tenshi was suddenly screaming like that.

“what?”

what is this woman talking about? I pretty much understand that I was being called ungrateful, and then anger began to boil down at the bottom of my gut.

“I don’t think you understand the situation. Aren’t you the one who forcibly brought me to this world?”

“Sorya, of course I’m feeling a bit of sympathy for being separated from your family, but shouldn’t you just abandon them for the sake of people in this Scarlet World? ”

what? What do you mean by ‘abandon’?!? Seriously this baba!

“…… Anything you said is not important”

My eyes turned red because of anger. Right now I’m seriously angry.

“Well, I know mutual respect is important in society, but what you are asking from me is a help, is it not? To me, whose life was taken forcibly, this is a very unreasonable demand.

Yesterday I told the same thing to your servants. I am NOT a slave! I want to decide how I want to live properly by myself and I decided that my families and friends are important. That’s why, if I threw those people away and became a member of this damn world, it will be a betrayal for those people.

But that’s something you will never understand, right?”

“That’s right. Why should I care about your circumstances?”

“I guess so. Then, I don’t care about every single one of you. I don’t know if this world will disappear if I returned to my world, I don’t care about it. If you telling me to give my life to you, then I tell to disappear and so I CAN RETURN TO MY WORLD.”

I think I squeezed out all of my voice. I was too angry so I lost my own control. Even when talking, I can feel every single bit of my feeling gushing out. My hands were trembling and my fingers clenched shut. This is the worst. My head hurts. My teeth grind against each other and made *gachigachi* sounds.

There was a moment of silence in the room but someone said.

“Wonderful. You are suitable as The Guardian of Scarlet Dawn.”

Something beeps behind my ear.

***

When I woke up, I was on the bed in the room assigned to me. With a worrisome expression, a maid was standing near a morning stands. My heads hurts badly. It’s a dull pain like when you spinning too much.

“Guardian-sama, have you awoken?”

“…….. nn?”

I fell down on the pillow to wipe off my forehead for a while and raised a groaned voice in response to the maid. The maid rocked my shoulder gently and passed me a glass of cold water. I received it with a blurry mind and swallowed a couple of gulps. I can recognize some sweet and refreshing citrus flavor like mandarin orange.

“Although is is said that you blacked out in the presence of Tenshi-sama… how do you feel?”

“………”

“Is it hurt in any place? Shall I call a healer?”

“….. Noi..sy… j-just go away…”

It doesn’t make any sense. Why did my head hurt so much? Is something wrong?

I could feel the maid leaving the bed. I have no energy to fuss about it. I pulled a thing like a thick blanket and wrapped it around me like an insect.

Only the futon didn’t change. I suddenly felt melancholic.

(Why did this happened to me?)

I had that thought so many times already but I was not angry. It was my first time to be this sad.

I was sad because somewhere in my mind, I thought that I might not be able to return to my world


Looking at my students writing a story for a school project makes me want to write my own story. I am thinking a story about enslaved hero trying to find a loophole in his/her enslavement crest and get revenge to the ruling king. No harem and no filler.

I might even write it in 2 languages (English and Indonesia) just so I can put them in novelupdates. Technically it’s not against the rules because Indonesia is my mother tongue and I’m translating from asian language to English.

OR I CAN SCRAP THAT THOUGHT and focus on translating instead. I might lost interest midway and the idea of [not finishing a story] doesn’t sit well with me.

YTIF 5 REVISED. Really Can’t Handle Ikemen

Just my promised revision of ch5.. Nothing to see here…

I’m planning to post an original story created by one of my students. It’s a SciFi about time travelling or some sort. I haven’t read it myself so I don’t know anything about the story.

chapter 6? I’m translating it right now. Maybe around midnight?

“Handsome people only”

“I’ll forgive him because he’s so handsome”

I think those phrases are becoming quite familiar in recent SNS. Overall, I think it’s true.

However, it can’t be applied to everything in this world.

If you narrow it down to individual level, there are people who can’t handle ikemens.

But there’s also a saying “The nail that sticks up gets hammered down.”

After all, it is said that it may not be good if you are too handsome or too ugly.

***

According to the maids, along the way to the mountain which this place was built was divided into several areas along the palace. First there are inner and outer court, and it seems the location where I was staying was in the inner court. A some innermost part of the inner court was called the temple.

The Scarlet Palace, the resident area of Tenshi, is right next to the area where I stayed. I know I said that this place is big, but this place is REALLY humongous.

“The place where Guardian-sama was staying is called Temple of the Dawn. It is a temple for Guardian of Scarlet Dawn-sama to live and it’s located in the deepest part along with the Scarlet Palace.”

Even when no one is asking, a maid kept spouting some random info. Thank you for your hard work (TL: this is sarcasm). I ignored her in a bad mood.

Those old men didn’t seem to noticed or care about the maid and kept walking. The representative granpa, the one I remember the most from my summoning day, start explaining about the world and the Guardian. That old man seems to have exceptional treatment even among the other old men.

A damn jiji. (TL: granpa)

As soon as I call him that in my mind, that granpa turned back and startled me.
Oy! Old people don’t move creepily like that.

“We arrived, Guardian-sama. Tenshi’s throne, the place between hekishou de gozaimasu”

Plaster painted walls are lined up in a corridor with a huge red door on the end. The door was carved with flowers similar to lotus and flowing water was painted on the ceiling, which is unnecessarily large.

“hekishou?”

When I murmured, the maid next to me whispers “clear blue sky”.

O…kay? Of course I ignored her. I don’t dislike this maid but I was hateful enough that I don’t want to speak to this world’s inhabitant.

Even so, this world’s sky is not even that red, so why it’s called ‘Scarlet’? Tenshi lives in this palace and the one guarding him is the Guardian of Scarlet Dawn. All of the maid’s clothes are close to red crimson, the clothes that I wore were red too. Only my coat was white.

“Now please…” (TL: Saa, Dozo)

The representative jiji invites me. Meanwhile, the other jiji got in between the throne door. The maids stopped and lowered their heads towards me. Apparently they were not allowed to get inside. Then why did they come in the first place?

I drag my own legs against my will and follow the damn jiji into the room. I gritted my teeth and try to be calm to face Tenshi. If it keeps going like this, I might create a bad impressions.

***

Inside the corridor was a very large room, maybe as large as a high school gym. It has the same atmosphere as the ancient Greek temple like the ones I saw in the books, because white stone pillars are lined up in the room. A crimson carpet was drawn at the feet and thin cloth dyed in reddish purple was hung in between pillars.

Cushions were piled up and several animal’s furs spread around in the middle of the room. Several men and women were found sitting and standing there.

“Tenshi-sama, the Guardian of Scarlet Dawn has arrived”

The representative jiji speaks to the group but there was no reply.  Suddenly, a random old man thrust his hand and pushed me forward.

Wha? Why the hell did you pushed me? What the hell? I wish I could say that but I can’t really do anything about it. Why do I get treated like this? This is a really shitty situation.

Although frustrated, I glare at the cushions with my eyes narrowed. There were beautiful women sitting on the fur and a man alone in the center. He’s obviously the Tenshi.

He had a straight red hair like a woman and surrounded by women with black hair. The color of his eyes was gold. And… Is his face a CGI? It was so beautiful that I can’t believe it

(TL: CGI – computer generated image like those filthy marvel movies.)

He looked at me rudely and slowly opened his mouth

“Are you the Guardian of Scarlet Dawn?” (TL: He used Omae instead of Kimi)

“….”

“I heard that you are running rampant. Aren’t you an adult? Aren’t you? You are the Guardian of Scarlet Dawn. Now answer me”

“……….”

I’m not such an easy woman that can be baite-

“……………………”

(Oy are you fucking kidding? Nope. No way. Hell no. Please not an ikemen. Nope. Nope nope nope nope nope…)

– I ran to the closest stone pillar and leaned against it. I threw up because of nausea and my chest hurt badly. I threw up with *zuruzuru* while squatting down while hitting the stone pillar.

Because when I looked at the super-classy ikemen, my nausea was even more severe than usual. That’s why I took the chance and speak slowly while observing him from top to bottom.

It feels disgusting. I feel the anguish in my chest doubled.

I’m can’t stand being called by an ikemen with a beautiful genderless face that seems so sexy and mature.

Just looking at his face makes me feel worse. I hold my stomach and resist the nausea. Furthermore the more he smug the worse my nausea was.

However, in reality such a beautiful person rarely seen and most of them have a ‘cute’ like face so the probability of meeting a person with prideful attitude like this is almost non-existent.

It’s the first time I seriously got sick like this. It’s to a degree where I got goosebumps all over my body. I remembered reading an SNS about ikemen. Was it about some make-up tips? But for me it’s like my whole world was crumbling.

“wha…”

I can hear a cranky voice of a man who seem to be Tenshi from my back but I can’t really tell. I felt worse every second. Someone bring me a plastic bag…

It may be great if there’s some kind of mental preparation, but it’s really hard to see a top-notch handsome ikemen without any prior information. It’s surprising like someone beside you suddenly vomited on a moving train.

“…. Oi Arzack. Explain yourself!”

“N-no sir… I’m confused myself…”

“I know we called a strange woman from the Blue World, I even forgave you from suddenly summoning the Guardian of Scarlet Dawn but… What is this? Not beautiful. rude manner. She doesn’t even look like an adult. More like a child”

While I was suffering from headache and nausea, the damn jiji was getting yelled at by Tenshi. Good job. But before that, give me a plastic bag.

I cleared my throat a few times and finally the nausea started to settle. I pressed my cheeks against the pillar, hoping for a refreshing feeling of the coldness. I quietly tried to restore my physical strength while listening the interaction behind me.

“However, she’s still qualified as the Guardian of Scarlet Dawn”

The damn jiji was trying to gain me some appeal. Speaking from here, it’s seems he didn’t know why I was chosen.

It won’t be wrong unless he had chosen an appropriate one. Then why bother choosing me and force such a role to me? Are you still trying to force that job to me? Just choose someone else from this world, alright?

“Fuun.. Are you saying it’s to protect [loyalty] to Tenshi? Ridiculous!”

Tenshi smirked. Oh, I don’t really care about this ‘loyalty’ he speaks of but I agree with him.

“… Then, would you return me to my world?”

I said that with weak voice from nausea.


TL: Again, this is a special thanks corner for the comments that helps me realize why she kept puking. In my defense, I am living with a mother and 2 sisters and I was forced into a Korean drama marathon so I’m used to look at these ‘pretty boys’. That’s the reason I can’t understand her pain and disgust when I first read it.

YTIF 5. Really can’t Handle Ikemen

RAW: http://ncode.syosetu.com/n2074cz/5/

I took some liberty here and there because I was late in my schedule and real life was calling. I need to finish my internship report so I can graduate and I can’t seem to find inspiration for my final thesis. I wonder if I can graduate this year…

My mother might fry me into a literal mayonnaise shrimp. She will put me on a fancy plate with some garnish and lemon slices.

 

PS: No translation next week because I will be busy. I will try to translate in my free time but no promises.

YTIF 4. My Head Gets Cold as My Anger Goes By

RAW: http://ncode.syosetu.com/n2074cz/4/

Sorry for the late update. Please blame it on @PoorQualityTL because he/she/apache introduced me to “Youjo Senki”. A very good and militaristic anime with gigantic eye-balled female MC. Somehow, for some reason, I managed to finished it in 1 sitting and the day changed from saturday to sunday without me realizing. AND I HAVEN’T START TRANSLATING YET

On a very different note, I was playing yugioh randomly and HAVE you tried a Rainbow Neos deck? It was amazingly easy to summon, surprisingly easy to search, and absolutely destroys your opponent’s strategy. I mean, 4500 ATK that can shuffle either all opponent’s monster, all opponent’s S/T, or all opponent’s graveyard back into their deck? That thing combined with Masked Hero Acid means a HUGE middle finger as large as the playing field.

 

Anyway here’s ch4


 

When I woke up, I noticed a slightly softer texture than the floor wrapped around my body.

Apparently I was in my bed. Was it a dream that I went to another world? That would be great.

But unfortunately, my REAL bed was covered in stacks of books so there’s no way I can lay around like letter 大 like I was doing right now.

I don’t know who did it but someone put me on the bed.

Why can’t it be a dream?

***

Since morning my forehead was hurting, my vein popping, my stress maxing, and my frustration was breaking through the limit. While I thought that my blood vessel might break, I had the first morning in another world.

For now, I’ll eat some breakfast. I guess was rolling a bit all over the bed without permission.

First of all, the first thing I noticed when I woke up was I was wearing something like red Nazo Tribe clothes. I had a sudden urge to rip the clothes apart because it was the same one as what that woman was wearing when she came here.

(TL: ナゾの民族衣装だ – Nazo no minzoku ishonda; This is the first thing that popped up on google. Can someone please help me? What in seven seas is ‘Nazo’? )

But still, they change my clothes without permission, so I got angry and tore away most of it. Since I have no other clothes, I made it closer to a one piece clothes that was tied around the waist.

Anyway, I don’t know what happened if the fabric got wrinkled, usually I just iron it or put them in the laundry shop. I don’t know anything about ironing and cleaning until I came to this world but I guess there’s nothing really wrong with it.

And then, what did they do to the table top? Did they use decoupage liquid? It looks like some scrolls about Tenshi and Guardian of Scarlet Dawn was plastered perfectly.

(TL: Tenshi = God. Just in case if you forgot. And decoupage liquid is transparent liquid glue similar to varnish. It is used to create decoupage arts and crafts)

I was thinking about what kind of lettering was applied but at the same time, I had an urge to break those scrolls apart in anger. I tried to them the scrolls but it was covered in decoupage glue and it didn’t peel off even when I used my nails.

The characters written were similar to kanji and katakana and there’s some differences in some parts. There’s some unknown letters here and there but somehow I could understand the meaning of the text.

Speaking of grammar, it was confusing at first but it was close to a regular Japanese (Subject – Object – Verb). Because the long sentences here are extremely short, other features are difficult to find. Overall it looks like some Japanese and weird stuff mixed together.

What’s with this chaos? I was kind of okay because I took some lessons in traditional Chinese.

I pressed down the anger and try to decipher the scroll. The scrolls was actually well placed because you can put your dishes on the table and read the scrolls without the dish blocking the sentences.

I can guess a few reasons:
① Maybe this world’s leaders, obviously with few screws loose in their heads, thought that I disliked their God because I don’t know the wonderfulness and the importance of their ‘Tenshi-sama’.

② Maybe they want me to realize how much the duty that I’m trying to refuse is actually worth.

③ Hearing my words that I wanted to return to my original world, they wanted to give me a sliver of hope covered in melted chocolate and sugar.

 

After I finished reading, I can summarize a few points that The Scarlet World has come to peace because of Tenshi. Guardian of Scarlet Dawn’s duty is to protect the nearest (?) Tenshi. Then Tenshi keeps the defense until the defense of the five other than Guardian of Scarlet Dawn

(TL: again, I don’t know. そして天子には暁紅守の他にも五の守りまでの守りがつく。)

That was the content… Was it.. something like a children’s picture book? It reminds me about the story of “Rabbit of Inaba” that I got from a shrine on shichi-go-san. (TL: I put some explanation at the bottom of the chapter)

 

It feels like oil was poured into my frustration.

 

 

But anyway, what kind of shabby status Tenshi has that Red Guardian of Dawn’s job description was written as “Honorably becomes Tenshi’s warrior and protects Tenshi forever”. Do anyone really want a 24-hour security job plus being a counselor? No way.

Especially since I can’t remember anything about martial arts except about protecting yourself and your mind. And I obviously don’t know anything about counseling.

***

The yesterday’s group of granpa who attended my summoning soon entered the room right after I finished my breakfast. Yesterday, their attire did not seem very realistic. To be honest, they looked like they were doing some kind of cosplay. I thought that the costume was just for impression but when I look closely, I noticed that it had a shape like a wizard’s robe. They had a large hood with a long length and their sleeves shaped like a cone.

I was still irritated but I was able to observe more calmly than yesterday. I could feel nothing but disgust when I saw their faces but at the same time I thought that probably they were the only people that can return me to my world. I will try to reason with them.

 

“Apologies Guardian-sama, it appears that you didn’t get a good rest last night.”

(TL: Guardian of Scarlet Dawn is too mouthful so please forgive me)

I don’t remember accepting that I will become Guardian of Scarlet Dawn and I don’t remember I wanted to stay here.

I got angry and I wanted to shout so badly but I somehow swallowed it down. However, I glared at the old man who looks like the representative of the group.

“Today because Tenshi-sama has allowed it, you are going to have an audience with Tenshi-sama. We will show you the way”

Audi… Audience? Like audience in front of a king or something like that? Are you telling me that I can meet this Tenshi? And you are coming with me? It’s hard to understand what they said because they used old words like in old movies.

 

“Now.. now… She need to dress up first”

“Then you better call me a maid”

“Ah, then bring some red clothes”

Suddenly the other old men start to speak. Ignoring them, I stare at the representative.

“When will you return me to my original world?”

“We can’t tell you”

What the hell was that mean? Is it impossible or not? Which one is it?

While biting my lips, I endured those words. Somehow, it seemed useless to continue this story to this people. Just as yelling at a civilian random maid that ‘I am not a freaking Guardian of some Scarlet Dawn’ would help me with anything.

 

“… If you say you are going to arrange a dress up, let me take a bath first. I slept like that yesterday and I would like to brush my teeth so get on with it”

I gave up trying to appeal to these people directly. I kept getting angry since yesterday and my willpower to mess around with such people are wilting.

“Bath? Starting now? No way, we will make Tenshi-sama waiting for too long.”

“Since morning bath is just washing your head and body, it won’t take long. Then please at least let me use the washbasin. I want to at least wash my face a bit.”

When I said that the old man called a maid with troubled face then left the room.

***

The maid who seemed familiar with this matter took me to a stone veranda that seemed to be fine even if the floor got wet and handed me a tub of hot water with nice temperature. I wash my face quickly, squeeze one of the two towels handed to me, and wipe my body with it. Incidentally, the cloth was nothing like a towel. Just an ordinary cloth that looked like a shirt. I felt a subtle feeling…

How do you prepare the toothpaste? I was offered something resembling a toothpick. I felt delicate. I don’t want to live in a world without face towels and toothbrushes. Such a sad way to live.

When I thought it was the end of preparation, I was pulled to a room that looks like a clothing room. Oh, because I meeting a great person, do I get to change my clothes? I finally understand the meaning of that old man’s words “we will make Tenshi-sama waiting for too long”. None of the clothes in the room are suposed to be layered like a kimono, and how long will it take to prepare them?

The maid pull out a dirt red colored clothes which seemed to make the clothes she was wearing looks even heavier. Of course I firmly refuse it.

Perhaps it’s a rule that will not change even in this world that it would be disrespectful to not present yourself in a proper appearance but why should I follow the rules of clothing in this world? I am not a resident of this world so if you want me to dress up then prepare something from my world. Will it be a high school uniform or a kimono.

If you can’t, then I don’t care.

Likewise, I refused all hair ornaments and hairdo that they offer.

Although it was a bit chilly, on top of red one-piece clothing that I made on my own, a flower like a red peony was drawn on a white background.

(TL: a.k.a clothes that she rip on her own)

I was dressed in a long-length jacket similar to those old men, which was a compromise between us both.

Since I was not wearing uniforms, I let them put some make-up on me. I was hit with white powder, but what is it? Is it the poisonous ones like the ancient Chinese?

(TL: she’s talking about lead based make-up from 15th to 19th century)

So now I am going to meet this Tenshi. The old men who saw my appearance, and compromise because I was fussy about wearing clothes of this world. There were also some maid who failed to put on proper clothes on me. All of them looked dissatisfied.

 

 

 

 


As I was saying previously, I’m still looking for a free hosting that allows me to at least install wordpress and alter the code inside. At least the one that allows me to install some plugin because I really need those automatic ToC and the previous-next button.

I am still considering about ads because I don’t want to spread some popup trojans on my reader’s phones. I’m also considering making a PDF or EPUB files and put them up so you can download it but it also need another hosting because wordpress doesn’t let me do so.

Anyway tomorrow is a holiday but I will be busy since morning. Not because of religious activities but I was in charge of decorating for a campus event and I really need to start working.

 

I will have another chapter translated by tomorrow if I can but no promises.


*shichigosan – children festival celebrated for 3 & 7 years old girl and 3 & 5 years old boy

**Rabbit of Inaba – Inaba no shiro usagi – A rabbit wanted to see a princess, so it made a wager with a shark to see whose family was more numerous – the shark or the rabbit. The rabbit used the sharks that lined up to cross the other shore, but the sharks tore off its skin. It was told to wash its body in salt water, but the pain only made it worse. Okuninushi restored the rabbit’s skin by having it wash in fresh water and cover itself with reeds.
