So minna, as I explained in my
other post, here is a summary/translation of this month keitai official mini novel that features WolframXYuuri.
First and most important thing, I want to thank
ritsu2 for pasting all the text in japanese (she had to copy words per words) and the other mod of this comm
evercool for checking my english^^
Maybe for people who are not used to the novel, the Wolf shown here will be a little "different" from the one you saw in the anime, but I fell in love with this Wolfram so much..I'm sure you'll love him.
Since it's was quite long to translate everything, like it happened for the novel, I'm summarizing some things, reporting some sentences and in the end I translated literally the most adorable part.
So..are you ready???
Here we go^^
It's another normal day in Shin Makoku...people are busy and Yuuri in his studio with in front of him a paper...
Wolfram comes in the room asking him what's up and Yuuri shows him what he was doing..it was something similar to the "crosswords puzzle" game...
Just that Yuuri couldn't answer to some questions because he didn't know the answer.(these are question about culture in Shin Makoku that's why he couldn't answer)
First thing for example was: a nickname that people use for their children...
He didn't know the answer, while Wolfram remembers that when he was a child, his mother used to call him his cute Honey-chan (yeah, honey^O^)
Apparently Yuuri looking at him thought it was a perfect nickname for him and decided that from that moment he would call him Honey-chan^^;;; (Yuuri...you realize you started to call Wolfram honey?? Honey???)
When Wolfram tried to explain that probably every child was called this way Yuuri was "ah is it so Honey-chan?"
It was too cute for words^O^
Then continuing, there is a question about a name for some mountain mice..that Yuuri didn't know..
Wolfram explained him the story, apparently it's narrated that in the Rochefort part of the country (Rochefort is one of the families like the Von Biefelt etc etc) people who used to leave their loved ones, left their messages to these little mountain mice...in order to let their loved ones know their words...
Yuuri didn't understand but Wolfram explained that it was done when those people were going to war..so it was like..leaving to these mice a message of love and goodbye that they would bring to their loved ones left at home.
It was a sad story....and Yuuri remained a little shocked..
I'm starting to translate from here..because this is the part I loved the most^^ My comments and explanations are in the brackets
After Wolfram's explanation, Yuuri fell silent, in the room the time passed in an overflowing silence.
All those people that lost important relatives and lovers..their last message given to mountain mice, they got their story quietly...
Words of goodbye never said, feelings of gratitude that were never told.
Abruptly, a thought started to form in his head, partly due to a spur of a moment, Yuuri talked.
A feeling of uneasiness probably stirred up by a glowing flame.
Maybe he did it for this...
- Na, if I were to leave for there (earth) and never come back...what would you do? -
- What do you mean what would I do? -
- If we were never going to meet again..would you give a message to the mountain mice or cry...Would you cry a little? -
- I wouldn't cry -
Receiving an answer different from the one he expected, somewhere in his chest, something started to hurt slightly...
It was not just that he didn't expect it..but if it was up to him, he would fail..if it was up to him, he would have probably cried, that's why he felt disappointed receiving a different answer.
- What's this, you're cold, and here I thought you would at least feel a little lonely.-
- I would certainly feel lonely but I wouldn't cry -
Wolfram, slowly standing up from the table, started to walk to the window.
Standing across from the business table, he tilted his chin and crossed his arms. The finger tips that held charcoal earlier is slightly shaded in black.
With the sunshine directly on him, he was really honey color (he is referring to his hair)
- If I were to cry, you wouldn't be able to live happily there would you? -
- Wolf...-
- Moreover, you could decide to never go back to your family, because you are kind....that's why I'd definitely not cry -
Yuuri, without saying anything, looked at Wolfram and then placed his finger on the centre of the white paper.
- The verticle lines are in uniform. -
This is (what it means) to make your feelings merge together with the other.
Now my comment, feel free to skip them ok?
I think this was the sweetest and more...evident proof of the relationship that links Wolfram and Yuuri in the novels.
Reading them I got the feeling that Yuuri is the one who relies more on Wolfram and not vice versa.
Their bond is so strong that Wolfram knows perfectly what Yuuri thinks or what Yuuri would do.
And he acts manly, a lot more than in the anime.
People who watched the anime, remember what happened during the last episode ne?
Here it happens the contrary. Wolfram knows Yuuri, knows that Yuuri needs certain things or he wouldn't be able to make the right decision, he needs that support that Wolfram gives him unconditionally, Wolfram would give his life for him, as a soldier, as a friend and as a person who sees in Yuuri is most important person. He is ready to sacrifice his feelings, if Yuuri can be happy in this way. And Yuuri on his part wouldn't be able to be happy if Wolfram is not happy. (between the two I don't have any doubt, Wolfram is the strongest one, that's why he became Yuuri pillar since Conrad's bertrayal novel)
Their bond doesn't need reassurance, kisses, hugs, to make it more real.
It's in both their heart, and it's something that overcomes the physical touch. It's like, they feel secure and at peace when they are together knowing that they can believe unconditionally in each others without any doubt.
It's not the first time that Yuuri looking at Wolfram links his figure to the sun and specifically to the sunlight.
It happened other times in the novels that he compared Wolfram to sunshine, that he admitted himself that the blonde is blunt but also kind and that he would never lie to him.
I think that, in a situation where you can't believe in other people because they always hide something...(see Conrad or Murata, that are black enough to make you believe there is always something that they are not telling you) Wolfram is the only one that shines enough for Yuuri to believe unconditionally in him.
Their relationship is so strong and so lovely that...I feel a little bad now if I watch again the anime,because there you see a Wolfram who constantly reminds Yuuri of engagement and that chases him everywhere..
Novel Wolfram is very different, he is more mature, adult...it's really a wonderful chara and I can see why Takabayashi sensei said he is her favourite.
Who doesn't like sunshine after all?
Wow this really does sound like a declaration of love^^;;;
I hope the novel will be translated someday...it's really completely another world.
Feel free to comment, to add your opinion, to tell if you liked this official mini novel ok?
P.S. Please do not repost this translation anywhere else ok?
