K project, K on the side 2, Short stories 1 and 3

Apr 29, 2013 17:29

There're 3 new short stories on GoRa's site. One about Suoh and Fushimi, the second one is about Kuroh and Neko, and the third one titled 'The drawing of a big red flower' is a funny moment with Anna, Yata, Kamamoto, Suoh and Totsuka. Translations of the two out of three can be found below.

Ah, it's nice to read about the interaction between these two; I've been curious ever since that time Mikoto didn't seem to bat an eyelid at Fushimi and just passed by him when he gets out of the SCEPTER4 prison. As expected, Mikoto doesn't really mind Fushimi's "betrayal" as long as he's in a better place. The dude cares about his clansmen, Fushimi included.

Damn, where am I going to put all these returning Mikoto feels again...

A question, though. Are there any side stories with the SCEPTER4 guys? The only one I saw is Fushimi's, where Akiyama barged into his room because he was hiding from Hidaka's scissors.

I'm hoping against hope that Mikoto is alive... Or it will be way too cruel of GoRa to give me hope with Anna's 'Your red is still warm' and then kill it with finalizing his death.

As far as I'm aware, besides the two stories from the short story collection (that is, Fushimi's that you mentioned, and Awashima's which deals solely with her describing her day off - basically she wakes up, goes shopping, buys tea and a book, takes a bath and reads the book (a typical love-story novel) thinking about what would Izumo say about this novel), there's a side story about Zenjou Gouki from the first installment of 'K on the side', and that's about it. Well, since I'm a fan of Scepter 4 myself, if Zenjou's story isn't translated yet, I'll translate it.

Sad to say, but I think Mikoto's Killed Off For Real, with the way GoRa talks about him nostalgically. But man, I want Mikoto to be alive too! Fushimi's correct in saying that he'll be leaving too many people behind. Anyway, it's actually Shiro who seems to be alive...GoRa doesn't even try being cryptic about it, in their tweets about the sequel, I mean.

imo HOMRA steals the spotlight too often! There are way too little stories about Scepter4. Just because it's a special police task force doesn't mean they can't as chummy as the Red Clan (and tbh I really wanna know about the other Scepter4 guys they look fun). I saw the first two chapters of that side story somewhere (but they're on a hiatus I think), and someone on tumblr says that Zenjou seems to be Munakata's "walking death flag"? I don't get that last part--well, only that Zenjou seems capable of killing a King like Kuroh can--it's making me curious. But if you do translate it, I'll totally love you forever!

If they really killed off Mikoto for real, they're the cruelest people because they put him in every art they do agitating my hope and pain all at once! Arg...
Yeah, I have no doubt that Shiro is alive - being immortal and all helps, I guess. I can only hope that he maybe, just maybe saved Mikoto, too, somehow...Unfortunatelly, Homura are certified limelight hoggers. They even have their own manga... They're developed as characters more, too... But to me, that one short story from Fushimi's life in the Scepter 4 dorms proved that the antics of the Scepter 4 guys can be just as fun as Homura's, if not funnier. I can even say that out of all the dramas and side stories (and I believe I've read and listened to all the official ones) the funny incident descibed in Fushimi's side story is my most favorite. If only GoRa wrote more about them... Well, a girl can dream ( ... )
