Apollo 0.1

[otonashi_diva]

<-- Previous ChapterSo I ended up doing Apollo 0.1~~~~ For those unfamiliar, the Apollo stories aren’t canon even though Takabayashi-sensei wrote them so this is like an official fanfic of sorts.  These stories are possibly ideas she had for the real storyline and I’ve heard that Apollo 00 is the original ending to the series that got scrapped

Thank you for this new translation. I like more Conrart as he appear when the story s told by his point of view. But the one I liked the more is the cute childish Wolfram. He really looks like a "normal"young guy, not too perfect and not yet level-headed or cynic. He really loves Yuuri ;)

[otonashi_diva]

Cutie Wolfram~~ You know, the more I read of the novels, the more I like Wolfram. I mean, I liked him before, but he's just so much more awesome in the stories.

"Like, instead of saying ‘he went to the kitchen and got a drink’ he’ll say ‘he stood up, opened the door, walked down the hallway, entered the kitchen, stepped towards the fridge, opened it, looked around in the fridge a bit, and got a drink." hahaha so basically he's a R2 RPer from yahoo chats

//reference that probably no one will understand OTL

I always thought it was interesting how Wolfram-heavy the anime was while the original novels were all about true Conrad end route, lol

Thanks as always! :V

XD I used to lurk on some Fushigi Yuugi RP groups on Yahoo back in the day so I kinda know what you're talking about although I dunno what R2 is~

As for the anime focusing on Wolfram, they were probably trying to appeal more to the BL demographic which is also probably why Wolfram had a mini personality makeover into a more tsundere/uke kind of character.

[ishitori]

HAHAH oh man, did you happen to be part of that miaka_will_XX_for_food group? I had the slaughter nick, lol. R1 and R2 were the "types" of RPing -- R1 was stuff like *kicks* *punches* *wins* and R2 was super detailed to the point of being overly detailed and it actually became more of a pissing contest of who could write the most paragraphs.

Yeah, but there's plenty of BL-type content with Conrad... but I guess since Wolfram and Yuuri were outright engaged it was easier to push that, lol

[otonashi_diva]

I don't remember names, but that group doesn't sound familiar. Sounds like it was funny though XD

Oooooooo

[angelordevil16]

That was interesting. It would be pretty scary for a child to be stuck in the dark that too in an amazement park ride.

So the story says that the girl actually kills all the people that she tells to follow by making them hide in a chest but Yuri was saved. Is that it?

Will be waiting for the next story :D

Re: Oooooooo

[otonashi_diva]

Forget kids, I would be terrified if I was stuck in the dark like that XD

But yeah, that's basically it. The little girl killed everyone but because Yuuri was trying to be strong for her and was saying 'it's all okay' and stuff, he ended up saving her and putting her spirit to rest. That's the general idea I get from this story. Of course, she could have also just been some random kid on the ride and not a ghost at all XD

Re: Oooooooo

[angelordevil16]

True that :P

But since Yuri said that her hand was cold maybe she was a ghost. XD we might never know.

Conrart is irritating. Too serious for me. I like his character but he worries a bit too much. Wolfram is adorable. I would love to read at least one story from his point of view!

Re: Oooooooo

[otonashi_diva]

She probably was a ghost just because there wouldn't be a reason to write that ghost story in there if she wasn't~

Like I said, Conrad is a Negative Nancy. Or a Debbie Downer. We should make up something for his name... What's a negative word that starts with C?

But anyway, I really hope there is a story from Wolfram's perspective! Or at least a part of a chapter like we get for Gwendal and Gunter. Maybe one day I'll turn the page of a novel and get an awesome surprise~

How creepy story, indeed

[otonashi_diva]

It was a bit creepy~ But I love horror stories sooooooo... I think I have higher standards for creepiness XD It still managed to weird me out a bit though because I was watching scary stuff while translating this~

Glad to shed some light on that art~ This was actually the first time I've seen it so I didn't get a chance to come up with any crazy theories on why he was wearing Earth clothes XD

Anyway, sorry it took so long to respond! I just put up the first part of that Poison Lady story~

[la_prime]

Actually I don't like horror story))) But in this case all was quite cute and interesting) And it's was very-very pleasure to me to find such genre in KKM. I admire many-sided canons! ^^

And - yahoo! Anissina's story, here I go!!! Thank you!

[waterlight_5]

Yuuri,the exorcist,that was scary at the end...

indeed,how many times has Yuuri gotten out of YOUR grasp Conrad?

this part...

A part of me wants him to remain pure and a part of me wants him to learn how to doubt people. It’s a complicated feeling. I have not experienced becoming a parent, but I wonder if this is what parental love feels like

I know he means well but damn it irritates me,Yuuri is your god damn king,how can he become a proper ruler is he is not treated like one? I'm glad the novels differ from the anime in this sense,things getting dark garantees that Yuuri will not,as he says,remain pure whether his subjects like it or not,the third season and no one telling how very ovbiously not good Sara was and how he got hurt later because of it made it a pain to watch for me.

I went off track :P

is this really not canon? I think it could fix perfectly wit the canon since it's just some casual talk that doesn't affect the plot in any way,that could had happen anytime before Conrad became a traitor.

[otonashi_diva]

Sorry for the really late reply~ Been preoccupied.

So yeah, this isn't canon. It's more of an official fanfic? ^-^ It could fit in though~
