Hello! Hoshi here. I am making this chapter into parts. My first translations. And everything is 100% mtl + my little vocabulary in japanese so I would like to say that it is not 100%! But I can assure I try to be as correct as possible
________________________________
“I want you to protect my sister.”
The crow looks wondrously at me, tilting its head in surprise, it asks me:
“Why?”
I answered in return, “I want you to protect her”, and the crow tilted its head even more.
Sometimes, the crow wore a black robe, and it made it look like a magician or some kind of life sized puppet.
Unlike the first time when the crow invaded my room without my consent. Whenever it came to visit again, it kept pushing the windowpane
And when I take my eyes off of the crow, it somehow ends up in my room the next moment, and in a humanoid form as well.
“…. Well, whatever, if you want it.”
“Fu”, the crow made a little smile.
this inhuman crow.
If you do not mind me being rude, then I wonder if it is ok if I say it looks eerie.
“But it is strange, why do you care for your sister so much?”
(TN: THIS WHOLE SENTENCE IS WEIRD I TRIED TO CHANGE IT UP SOMEHOW BUT EVEN WITH MY LIMITED VOCABULARY IN JAPANESE, I COULDN’T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT MEANS. So, I’ll just put the straight up translation up along with my own rephrasing of whatever its trying to convey)
(Direct MTL)
Walking around the room without any meaning, the appearance of coloring a bookshelf or a mirror stand is not different from that of a bird, although there is not much.
That is why I felt like I proved that that bird was this guy.
(MY TL)
Walking around my room without minding anything, the bird looked at my books and then viewed the mirror as if it was praising itself,
It’s a bird.
_______________________
“What is it about your sister, that makes you care about her so much?”
And with those words, the crow rushes up to my bed and laughs in my face.
“Yea, I wonder why too. I guess its some kind of sophistry.”
“Sophistry?” *1
“Yes, though, she’s my sister I have to care for her, even if I do not want to care for her, I have to” **2
______________________
(Direct MTL)
I think older than I am. However, depending on what I see, I feel like I am a lot older.
I think that it is a mysterious man.
(MY TL)
I think more maturely then I should have to. Though,thinking about it, I have been living this life more then I should, so in actuality. I am just an old lady now.
Looking at this crow, who kind of looks like a boy, and I think is a boy, and I think that makes it a boy.
_______________________
“You still love your fiance, don’t you? And yet he loves this sister, is that not a love affair?”
The man who was lying down looks up into me with eyes as if he could see through me
“…. I wonder if I told you about Soleil.”
“No, but I can just tell by seeing it.”
“Fufufuu”, the crow pleasantly cries out.
I wonder where they/he was watching from. I never exchanged words with Soleil in front of him.
it only appears in my room.
I figured that it may be so, but I am already aware that this crow is not a man who obediently answers the questions.
“It is just a simple love affair, it’s not a reason for me not to cherish —–”
At least for me it is.
Even now this is the same. I will do what I should do in order to not to lose my sister. That’s all there is to it.
Just like last time.
“Besides, you said that I do not need to pay anything for you to help me.”
“… ….”
“Do not look like that. I will fulfill my promise … … I have not heard back from you”
The crow raised up his hand and put my head onto his knee and started patting it. *****4
“But I want a reason”
“…. A reason?”
“That’s why I move.”
A feeling of death and cold air sprouts up.
Like showing me that it is something that can not be tolerated.
“—–Just once”
“Once, my sister saved my life”
That’s right.
Although I do not think fondly of her for saving my life. It is merely that I can not accept the fact that I was protected by my weaker younger sister.
“I was about to be kicked by the forefoot of a horse I was looking after when I was young.”
I could not say that I was truly taking care of it.
for a bit. You can say that it was mostly me disturbing it.
And, everyone who was there was careless.
Ma’an (TN:ALSO a name. I think, name of the trainer?) was also there, holding the reins of the horse. So, I never thought the horse would be
surprised by me, who fell down on a stone, and it unintentionally raised his forefoot about to crush me.
—– Sister …!
I clearly remember the hands of my young sister hanging on my back.
As usual she was sick in bed for a while and it would not be nice to stay in the room forever, and so my sister went for a light exercise
And there she me who was about to be kicked by a horse.
And she tried to protect me as much as possible.
With the huge shadow approaching overhead, and with the inexperience of a horse being spooked. My small little sister caught me while I could not even run
This crisis, if the horse trainer which realized the situation did not draw the reins, my younger sister surely would have had her head kicked.
I’m sure it was not safe, and she would have died.
“……that’s all?”
When I told the story, the crow had a face like it was taken aback.
“—– Yeah, that’s it”
But, it was enough.
Although it is a distance that is born merely by being from a mother’s different sister, there is no opportunity to contact her even when we were just
I knew that I had a sister, but I was never strongly conscious of that existence.
And yet.
That child called me “my sister” and tried to save me. At the cost of your own body/life.
‘That’s why I still care for her.’
(TN: Original said something like “tied to her” it didn’t really sound nice, or portrayed a good meaning so forgive me for taking
“… … That’s right, maybe.”
It was Sylvia who protected me by covering her body all over my own, but when I knew it was safe for the both of us and I returned to my
I shrugged down on my back, ashamed that I was frightened, shrinking inside of her thin limbs, which was tight even without resorting too much force.
That when the time comes and I was given the chance to, I thought, that I should protect her back as she did for me.
And even now I will protect her as she did me.
(TN: I took liberties on this too. It just said “Sorenanoni” Which means “And yet/even then” But I tried to
make sure it made sense, and it didn’t if I were to just put “And yet” at the end here, so I added in a little more context to make it sound better. Forgive me “-.-)
“—– Hehe, good, you are good, very good”
(TN: This line is also weird, it was mentioned earlier when talking about the air about black stones. And I was confused about what the heck it meant. And
no where in there were they talking about “eyes” which I know to be spelled “mae”. So… I am now really confused so, again here. I’ll put both up)
(DIRECT MTL)
A double black stone looking up at here.
(MY TL)
A pair of eyes the color of pure black stone looked upon me.
____________________________
I do not know what you are thinking, but its eyes are pleasantly loose/nice. (TN: …. It says LOOSE IDK. DOES IT MEAN NICE??!? I’ma put a slash on loose)
“Got it, got it. Good good. Lil Sister, I will protect.”
I do not dislike such human feelings inside me.
When I accidentally stroked my forehead, the crow that looked at me with a shaky face for a while now, suddenly laughed in satisfaction.
(TN: This crow is confusing as hell to translate and try to make sense of. I still like him though. BUt super confusing as hell)
It will only be a little after since graduating from the academy.
And three years later, that summer will come again.
That summer when Silvia was attacked by robbery and died.
Now, what is going to happen?
I wonder if I can do it well.
I wonder if I am scared…
But I think I’m scared.
But, if I do not do it well, I will be condemned again by Soleil.
*
On that day when I and Soleil married, my sister participated in the ceremony as a relative.
At the end of the ceremony, we go out to the small garden outside of the church and exchange blessings with our relatives and old friends.
Is constantly radiating happiness, that figure constantly smiling.
The loosely gathered silver hair, drawing out a thin reddish complexion upon her. It was shining good on her white skin.
The fragile appearance of a small and delicate little sister who is rarely seen in public is drawing all the attention and was ever and much more
prominent than the bride.
To Sylvia who celebrated and congratulated us, Soleil said thank you.
And so, with that profile upon his face, she had on a color of frustration that could not be hidden.
Ah. I can not be the one who is loved. And just like before, I realized it again.
I couldn’t bare to look upon their faces, directing my sight upwards, I looked up at the sky.
I could see black birds swirling overhead.
As if they were all laughing at me.
“…… Crow”
My voice which was murmured near Soleil has been heard, and as in doubt, about if he had hear something, he asks me with his sweet voice.
If I shake my head, as if I had said nothing, he gently chewed in my sigh and asked me, “Is it so?”
(TN: No matter where I translated. “Chewed” kept coming up
so I decided to keep it in. I think chew as in “ignored”? He ate up her sigh and ignored it? I think)
And with that, he quickly loses interest. It seems to be okay not to care about matters pertaining to me.
And that gaze, then came back to my sister again.
Today was supposed to be the happiest day of my life.
For several weeks I chose a dress just for today. But still, I did the embroidery on my own by myself.
I felt so happy that my mouth would collapse as if I was wishing for it too.
I do not know anyone as I do not understand to anyone, I know that I am bothering that fact, me while pretending nothing.
So much.
So, I am not loved by Soleil.
**
I’m going to do Fiance is in Love With Imouto, in parts.
AND TBH
*TINY ISH SPOILER PART*
The Part 2 in this chapter, oh my god, i don’t even want to read it, it makes me cry. Oh my god. UGH I NEED WILLPOWER.
And, so this is my first ever translation, Hope things are ok.
*1 Sophistry is what it all translated too. Sophistry means “false argument” so I think in this context, where she is talking about why she worries so much for her sister, is that she doesnt want to, but she feels like she owes her sister, and so she has to protect her.
*2 just look ^
*** 4- The translation said something about him waving his something and then something about a head then a knee, so.. I changed it to make sense?
Here it is. Help?
****5 –
しんと空気が凍る。気がした。
言い逃れは許さないとでも言うように。
Translation was weird, I tried to make sense of it. Help?
*** 6 世話と言っても真剣にやっていたわけではない。
あのときもそうだった。
普段は大人しい馬だったし、そんなことになるとは誰も思っていなかったのだ。
Cough, tbh this whole paragraph was confusing as hell.
