Monochrome Factor Chapter 61 + Translations
One thing first: Prepare for screaming. Claire has been known to go hysterical around any of Sorano-sensei's works.
...Although I bet no one's reading this anyways. I feel neglected. orz
On we goes!
Ohwait. Before I forget...
Translations are actually from the-great-me.blogspot.com/2011/03/monochrome-factor-chapter-61.html
I just corrected some grammatical errors and terminology.
And I'm also kinda using the translations without permission, so I'll take them down if I'm asked to.
'Kays!
Shisui : Homurabi!!
Akira : You...!
Shisui : Homurabi...!
Shisui : Urg...h?!
Akira : What's... this?!
Akira : Shadows...?!
Akira : Could it be... he absorbed the portion that has been overflowing to the other side into his body?
(The 'other side' that Akira is referring to is the Realm of Light, which was supposedly being overrun by darkness.)
Akira : If he does that, even if he's a Shin, by taking too much of it, his body can't possibly hold up any longer. It's like how taking too much medicine will only poison yourself...
Lulu : ... Can he be saved? Homurabi-sama...
Shisui : I-I don't know...
Shisui : ... But
Shisui : I won't let you die...!
Homurabi : Shisui, it's enough. It's my defeat.
Shisui : Homurabi! Don't force...
Homurabi : ... And since I've already lost
Homurabi : I guess returning this would be the right thing to do.
Akira : It's the shadow's...
Akira : Tuner factor.
(The one Homurabi took from Kengo! OMG!! KENGOOOOOO.)
Homurabi : The vessel is still new.
Homurabi : If you hurry... You should still be able to make it.
*squeeze*
Shisui : Homurabi, listen to me.
Shisui : Up until now, I was horribly afraid of you. You were the only person I wasn't able to 'see' no matter what.
Shisui : But I was more afraid to ask you...
Shisui : Tell me something...
Shisui : Why did you do something like this?
Homurabi : You haven't changed at all, since long before, always thinking too much...
Homurabi : Peeking into my mind... Assuming things all by yourself
Homurabi : Being afraid of me
Homurabi : I really hate that part about you
Homurabi : But
Homurabi : Even if I hate it, my counterpart is you.
(S-Such a gentle reason! *sniffs* Yeahyeah, I'm a sucker for gentle stuffs like this, I admit it, lalala.)
Homurabi : I won't forgive anyone who tries to change that
Homurabi : That's all...
Shisui : -Ah...
Shisui : Just now, for the first time, I was able to 'see' you...
(Homurabi finally revealed his true gentle reasons, if Shisui was able to 'see' his thoughts.)
(... DAMMIT OKAY SO I ADMIT I CRIED HERE SHUDDAP. IT'S TOUCHING OKAY. DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA, IT'S TOTALLY NOT BECAUSE I'M A SOFTIE---!!)
Homurabi : Well... The talk is over right? Stop the treatment.
Homurabi : Just because you've almost completely healed my wounds, it doesn't mean...
Shisui : ...Nope. If you disappear, they will also disappear.
Lulu : Homurabi-sama...
Homurabi : Lulu, Nanaya.
Nanaya : ...Well, since we also took part in this after all?
Nanaya : If you choose to disappear after this
Nanaya : It can't be helped then, I guess I'll disappear together with you at that time.
(Nanaya!! AND LULU!!! I SERIOUSLY LOVE YOU TWO, DON'T DISAPPEAR!! SHIKI TOO! ...Sawaki can go die.)
(This kinda shows that Homurabi's Children are all really quite good people. Despite their betrayal, you can still see that they really love and respect their King, and they actually question his previously evil intentions because they feel that Evil!Homurabi isn't the King they love. TOUCHING.)
(I'm still on the fence for Sawaki.)
Shisui : My pair is you after all. I have a mountain of complaints ready for you.
Shisui : I won't forgive you if you disappear before hearing them.
Homurabi : I'll prepare myself.
(G-GAH! THIS SCENE REALLY MAKES ME... S-SHUDDAP I'MNOTCRYINGNOTATALL.)
Shirogane : I see. Kill the direct kings, and steal their tuner factors
Shirogane : In order to be the tuner together with Shisui...
Shirogane : So, that's the truth.
(I'm seriously losing more and more respect for Shirogane here... Seriously, he's too HUNG UP over Ryuuko's death. Let's think about it this way, would Ryuuko himself want Shirogane to go all vengence-y? DAMN STRAIGHT HE WOULDN'T.)
(Still, when Shirogane said, 'be the tuner together with Shisui', I just suddenly realized...)
(NO WONDER HOMURABI DIDN'T GO ON A WILD FRANTIC SEARCH TO KILL SHISUI BACK WHEN HE WAS ALL EVILLY. I mean, HE KNEW EXACTLY WHERE SHISUI/MASTER WAS HIDING. Kinda hard not to when the guy runs a popular bar right smack in the middle of town.)
(And yet, he was pretty much, 'I'm not gonna bother even sending my minions out to kill you, *whistles*'. If he was planning to be with this counterpart til the very end, then well yeah I suppose that explains it...)
(...MY GOD. I JUST MADE IT SOUND EXTREMELY YAOI-LIKE.)
Shirogane : Because the plan was taking more time than you originally thought, the balance started to collapse in large scale.
Shirogane : In order to suppress it, you even took the darkness into your own body
Shirogane : Seriously...
Shirogane : So touching
Shirogane : It's touching
Shirogane : and truly a tasteless farce.
Shirogane : For something as useless as this, Ryuuko was...
Shisui : Shirogane, wait...! Regarding that, we're also at fault...
Shirogane : You're right. The fault is also with you, and Ryuuko
Shirogane : and me as well.
Shirogane : I should've strongly opposed him when he said to bring in humans. We shouldn't have welcomed them...
Shirogane : Because, if we had done that, this tragedy wouldn't have happened
Shisui : It's not true...
Shirogane : But, it's all in the past now.
Shirogane : First, I'll return to being a tuner
Shirogane : About Ryuuko, I guess it will work out somehow
Shirogane : After that, I'll revoke the contracts of the remaining Shins and Reis. No doubt that tuning will be harder now but...
Shirogane : In the worst case, we have Kou as an example to use.
Shirogane : So far, 'that' don't have troublesome problems like humans, and they will also never betray us.
Shirogane : Since no affection will be growing, it will be easy to throw them away after we're finished with them
Lulu : Horrible...
(Really now, ALL RESPECT LOST. HE'S EVEN REFERRING TO BEINGS, ARTIFICIALLY CREATED OR NOT, BUT WITH LIVES OF THEIR OWN, AS OBJECTS.)
(AND HAS NO QUALMS ABOUT JUST DISPOSING OF THEM.)
Shirogane : See?
Shirogane : With this, everything will be solved!
Shirogane : Well then! Please return it to me, Akira-kun.
Akira : .....
Shirogane : Akira-ku...
Akira : Stop with that shady talking.
Akira : I have Ryuuko's memory in me right now
Akira : I already know your true character
Shirogane : -...
Akira : Moreover, suggesting to solve the problem in that absurd way, do you really think I'll accept it and say, 'here you go', and just give it to you without even one complaint?
Akira : If you do, you're seriously an idiot beyond help.
Shirogane : Do not misunderstand me
Shirogane : You have Shisui on your side. It's useless to lie so I'll just tell you the truth
Shirogane : It's none of my concern whether you agree or not
Shirogane : Return it to me
Shirogane : That thing is MINE.
Akira : What if... I say no?
Shirogane : I'll just change the order of plans in the schedule... that's all.
Akira : Schedule?
Shirogane : It's 'your disposal', Akira-kun.
[The enemy, is far too close...!!]
(WHAT, WAIT.)
(IF HE ACTUALLY HAD IT IN A 'SCHEDULE', THAT MEANS HE WAS PLANNING TO KILL AKI ALL ALONG ANYWAYS?!!)
(OMG. SHIROGANE, YOU, YOU, YOU... JACKASS. OR ANYTHING WORSE THAN THAT.)
(AKIRA YOU'LL KICK HIS ASS WON'T YOU?!!!)
(SORANO-SENSEI, I'LL SCREAM, I'LL REALLY SCREAM. I LOVE YOU TOO DAMN MUCH.)
(I SCREAMED. No one can hear it over the computer screen, of course, but.)
(QUICK AKIRA, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR. REVIVE KENGO THEN YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE CAN BAND TOGETHER TO KICK SHIROGANE TO OBLIVION.)
I'd rant more, but getting late. Chinese Oral prelims tomorow... uhh, today. Besides, 2 posts in 1 night. My brain is kinda dead.
So, that's all folks~~
Over and Out!
