happy birthday, Cloud!
due to a serious lack of being-able-to-edit-past-entries-ability, I'm going to put the translations that were beautifully translated for the doujinshi pages previous here instead. First up: thanks to Kainos Ktisis from ffnet (if you haven't read her stuff, you REALLY need to) who was kind enough to translate the Chinese of the first picture for us. It reads as following:
Panel 1 (left vertical):
I will protect you! (bold letters across the top)
Kiss! (single character bubble)
I
can't believe it!! That girl stole so much from us that we can't even
buy a bottle of Phoenix Downs (i think that's what it is anyway)!! I'm
so freaking mad!
Panel 2 (top right):
Yuffie: Come to Wutai if you have the guts.
Cloud: Materia...My last tangible assets...
Panel 3: Immediately takes the opportunity to reveal his feelings (words across the bottom of panel)
Cloud (left bubble): But Tifa...even if I don't have a single materia or ether, I will still protect you!
(right bubble): Hmm...
Panel 4: In an enemy encounter. The problem is... (words on top and bottom of panel)
Cloud: Waya!!!!
fx: Pow!
Tifa: Ah! Cloud!
Panel 5: Without materia, he's like a weak chicken (words across the bottom of panel)
Walking quickly away (words on the left)
Tifa: Let's head towards Wutai...We'll steal back those materia for you. Don't worry, I'll protect you along the way.
Cloud:
S-sorry for the trouble (OR: Th-thanks. "Sorry for the trouble" is
closer to the literal meaning, but "Thanks" translates a little better.)
The middle picture we'll all continue to guess on though to me it looks like a polite wrestling match to get Tifa OUT of that shirt.
And the third picture has a translation now too thanks to our own sekiharatae who hit up her resources and got us a peek into Cloud and Tifa's sex life.
First panel: "...W-Wait, Cloud. Did you remember to lock the door?"
Second panel: Waiting for her to lock the door.
Third panel: "...Oh...I think I forgot to turn off the gas on the stove..."
Fourth panel: Waiting for her to turn off the gas.
So it looks like our hero just can't catch a break. But as long as he's got Tifa with him it looks like it'll be fine ;)
