Hiya~
I had time to spare (not really
I am not incorporating pictures because I am lazy to upload them to a photo hosting site. T^T Please refer to the scans posted before... >.<
page 00:
“My So-Called Existence’s Contradiction”
This is the title of the chapter. (The text on Kaname’s right) Having him look so alone and miserable like that wants me to Photoshop Zero into the picture. (I think I read somewhere of someone saying a Zero hugging Kaname from behind would be sexy and at the same time pretty scenic.)
page 1:
Rido: What are you waiting for inside this icy cold coffin...?
Man, Rido is just totally all over Kaname. He should get a life (oh wait, he’s dead =_=) and leave Kaname alone!
page 2:
Kaname: ...I’m not waiting for anything.
Rido: That’s right. But aren’t you waiting though?
Rido: Contradiction. Inside you is a great contradiction-----
Rido: And even now, that contradiction is tormenting you. That’s why you came here.
Rido: Wanting to watch over your precious little bird as she begins to flap her new wings---- Wanting to clip her wings----
\\T^T// I want to hug Kaname. Having someone actually voice out what’s tormenting him must be twice as painful!!! T^T
page 3:
Rido: I wonder where that contradiction is coming from...
*Kaname stands up*
Rido: The thing that you’ve been waiting for desperately in this coffin might never come back, you know. (This one I am not veeeery sure because the sentence was long but I do have basis for this translation. Just take it with caution though, for now.)
Rido: The truth is, you probably don’t even have a faint wish, am I right? (Now this is me not getting the context of what Rido is implying. Is he implying about the thing Kaname is waiting for? Japanese text reads, “Kasuka na nozomi mo hontou ha nai no darou?”)
page 4:
Rido: Contradiction. And then, despair. (Reminds me of Setsubou-sensei for some reason!)
I don’t know but the cloaked Yuuki actually I think that is Juuri. My interpretation for that is, Kaname is torn between what is right for Yuuki (freedom or imprisonment) to protect her in order for her not to end up tragically like what happened to her mother, that is, Juuri. It may be Rido influencing Kaname’s mind to actually imagine these pictures of Yuuki (and Juuri). Rido having Yuuki envisioned with chains... and then putting Juuri in the picture too... Makes sense, no? (Okay... maybe it’s just me....)
page 5:
Rido: That’s the kind of person you are...
Rido: You are forever....
*Kaname squishes Rido like a bug* *cheers* Finally!!! \^o^//
page 6:
Kaname: You are truly a good “mirror” (I think Kaname is implying that he is an accurate conscience to be able to voice out all of his worries so accurately like that)
*Kaname looks at the door, looking concerned*
Is it just me or Kaname is crying blood in the 2 right panels of this page...? O_o
Kaname: ...Yuuki...
Kaname: That pesky brat, Touma... (I can imagine Kaname growling. XD)
page 7:
*Yuuki coughing, and Zero looking on*
page 8:
Aidou: Oi...
Yuuki: I’m all... I’m all right. Just choking on blood. (Yuuki, you are not okay if you are coughing blood, dear!!)
Yuuki: *breathes* But... I’m still not used to this feeling of my wound healing up... *pants*
Aidou: It’s my fault...
Yuuki: Why? You’re wrong.
Aidou: No...
*Yuuki looks (at Zero) with a bubble saying she’s still panting* (not sexy panting though)
page 9:
Yuuki: *pants and then stands up*
Aidou: Wha--wait! Don’t move!
page 10:
Yuuki: ...um... Well, good afternoon! (Ah, so cuuuuute!!! X333)
Aidou: It’s already ‘good evening.’
*Zero looks on with a dead stare and pulls out something from behind him*
A BOUQUET!!!! *gets shot*
page 11:
*Aidou’s eyes widen at the sight of Bloody Rose*
Aidou: Wait up! All of a sudden, Kiryuu, you!
Touma: Tsk! I’m caught. (I hate this kid more and more, seriously.)
page 12:
Touma: Just a bit more and I thought I would have done it! (kill Yuuki? what does “yaki irete” mean anyways...
Touma: Scaaaaary...
Touma: Too bad~
Zero: Leave. Even if you are just a detachment, I’ll beat you up until you are unusable. (My vocabulary is limited. Be creative. The bottom line is, Zero is going to beat the crap out of this Touma guy if he doesn’t scram in 3 seconds)
page 13:
Touma: Bye-bye~~
*bats fly off towards the sky*
Aidou: Kaname-sama’s definitely going to make you pay for this... (Yeah, yeah. Threaten when the bad guy when he’s all gone)
*Yuuki faints*
Aidou: ....!!! Hey, pull yourself together!
page 14:
Aidou: OI! Yuuki Cross!!
*Zero snatches Yuuki from Aidou like she was a sack of potatoes~*
page 15:
Aidou: .....huh? (Priceless! XDD)
Zero: For now, there is a place nearby where she can lie down so... (this was translated almost literally -__-; If we put it in normal English, Zero would say, “For the mean time, I’ll take you to a place nearby where where she can lie down...)
Aidou: All... all right, got it.
Zero: The blood... I’ll make you come and clean it later. (Why do they need to clean the blood? Is Zero that much of a neat-freak? Or is it because it’s a pureblood’s blood..?)
Aidou: Got it.
page 16:
*Zero continues to carry Yuuki--- like a sack of potato ^_^;*
Yuuki *thought*: Ah... What is this, I wonder? I’m swaying... A very nostalgic scent....
Yuuki *thought*: Ah, but seriously, I am so stupid. To think that the first word that I blurt out to him will turn out to be, ‘good afternoon’...
Awwww.... I just can’t stop fangirling this scene! Yuuki remembering Zero’s scent and then her thinking about what she said to Zero! It’s like a reverse of what was the situation before. Yuuki will never think of this before when she had Zero by her side all the time. This will be a scenario with Kaname before. Her worrying of what she would say to strike a conversation with Kaname-‘senpai’. I think this was a very nice touch, to see the whole situation flipped and have Yuuki worrying over such trivial things such as words she would say when she sees Zero. Endearing but also sad... T^T
page 17:
Eye-patched dude: Thank you for your hard work... and your name is...
Zero: .... *presents Bloody Rose*
Eye-patched dude: Oh! My, my, if it isn’t Kiryuu-sama. (Does this mean he doesn’t know what Zero actually looks like and just recognizes the person named Zero Kiryuu is the one who wields Bloody Rose...?)
Eye-patched dude: Please, follow me. You will probably need a bed, right? (Zero: Yes, a bed so I can have my threesome fantasy.) (Serious note: Notice that the guy here is talking extremely polite to Zero)
Zero: Oh. *seems to have remembered something*
*Aidou looking around and muttering to himself*
*Anti-vampire charm activates*
page 18:
Aidou: Wha-What the heck is this...
*Zero just... stares XD*
Zero: The response seems to be off. (to the hunter lackey) (LOL. Seems like Aidou was used to test their security system. XD)
Eye-patched dude *nods*: I will have someone make the necessary adjustments. Yes.
Zero: Sorry, Aidou-senpai. This is the vampire hunter association’s secret hideout so we put anti-vampire charms in order to ward off vampires with this person as an exception. (Yuuki? Or was he referring to himself just like sagakure said)
Zero: If I carry you too, you’ll be able to pass.
Aidou: Then you should have said so in the beginning!
Zero: Tonight all the rooms are open so please have any room, Aidou-senpai.
Aidou: I’ll be guarding outside the door. (Is it just me or is this kind of a warning to Zero that he shouldn’t do anything funny to Yuuki because Aidou WILL be watching? XD)
page 19:
Aidou: I’m now thinking whether this (letting Zero bed Yuuki? I mean, letting Zero and Yuuki spend time together) is for the best or not. (not really sure about this translation but it fits so...) (What I know is, Aidou is still concerned that Zero might want to kill Yuuki still)
Zero: When this pureblood’s consciousness returns, it’s just better to make her drink something, that’s all there is. (Waaaaaah.... He never calls her Yuuki anymore!!! T^T)
*Yuuki regains consciousness; speaking of the devil!*
page 20:
*loud heartbeat sound effect~ dokun dokun dokun*
Yuuki *thought*: I can hear the sound of blood pulsing in his veins......
*Yuuki opens her eyes*
Yuuki *thought*: Ah.... how nostalgic this is.....
page 21:
Yuuki *thought*: To be this close....
*hugs Zero’s head*
page 22:
*Yuuki balances herself properly and then nuzzles on Zero’s neck*
Yuuki *thought*: Such a nostalgic scent...
page 23:
Zero in all his angsty glory and Yuuki licking Zero’s neck, going for the bite~
page 24:
Yuuki has that seducing stare and Zero returns it with his own cold stare as if to say, “Are you done?”
Yuuki then stops going on instinct and awakens, realizing what she was about to do to Zero.
Yuuki: ....ah....
Yuuki’s surprised look here doesn’t only imply her surprise that Kaname was there watching. I think she was also surprised by her own actions. She was ABOUT TO BITE ZERO!!!
page 25:
Zero: ....did you change your mind...? You barely escaped with your life there.
After reading the whole chapter, I now believe that Zero was implying INDEED that he would have killed Yuuki if she had decided to bite him. Man, that was such an intense line and Zero just delivered it like they were just talking about the weather!
I thought for a moment Zero was trying to make a small talk about escaping Touma’s attack but that wasn’t lethal enough to kill Yuuki that he would use the term, ‘barely escaped’
Yuuki: ....put me down.... (blushing-- not the cutesy blush though. This is the blush she has when she is in pain, after saying or doing something that hurt Zero. Remember, she had this blush when Zero told her in the ball not to touch him)
Zero: If you are able to stand.
Yuuki *blushing*: I can stand... Thank you...
page 26:
Yuuki’s back is towards the bat.
Yuuki: ...sorry.....
*glass cracking*
Zero: ... no....
*glass breaking*
I now see what sagakure and some other people thinking that it was Zero who broke the window. I think it is him now. The impact of the window breaking was ACTUALLY from inside the room. Glass breaks and the window is also forced open. The shutters direction is going towards outside. I think Zero didn’t do it purposely but he is having a hard time controlling himself. Remember there is a part of Zero that wants Yuuki and he is trying to quell that side of him from taking over (the vines).
Aidou: What happened?!?
page 27:
Yuuki: ... I am very sorry. (She looks so sad, maybe because she interpreted that glass breaking as Zero’s irritation and desire to drive her out)
Yuuki: Even now, I am still such a scatterbrain.
*Yuuki jumps out the window*
Aidou: Oi!
page 28:
Zero has his hand over his heart/shoulder, trying to calm down his monstrous (the side that wants Yuuki for itself?) side?
Yuuki *thought*: No.... I need to get away. I need to... *pants as she looks back at Zero’s direction*
Aidou: Where are you going, Yuuki Cross!?
*bat transforms to the Kaname-wolf*
Yuuki *panting*: You were all right, then? Thank goodness...
page 29:
Again, we have Yuuki blushing with a pained expression.
Yuuki: Please, oniisama. I want to go back home. I will also take my punishment so...
*Kaname-wolf transforms to a horde of bats....
page 30:
And sweeps Yuuki away to S & M Island~
Aidou is left behind, wishing he could have gone too. XD

::END:: Next chapter on May 24~
Hope you enjoyed the chapter as much as I did translating it! Now, let's look forward to Sagakure's scanlation!!!! ♥
