And now a couple of images to get this thread off to a good start.

Really cool sketch.

Someone's been watching too much kemeko deluxe.

This one comes with text, it also leads to a really NSFW picture in the other Asakura thread on the H-board:

朝倉「おまたせっ！」　
キョン「ふぉあっ！！」　
朝倉「フフッ、驚いた？意外でしょ。」　
キョン「おっ、あ……朝倉かっ？何だ？何なんだ！？」　
朝倉「それなんだけど、あなたと結合して涼宮ハルヒの出方を窺う。」　
キョン「………………はぁ？」　
朝倉「うん。それじゃあ早速だけど脱いでもらうわね。」　キョン「え？ちょ………おいっ！！！？」

Kyon's bad English and terrible singing bring loli-Ryoko to tears. Either that or he's taking all the fun out of stabbing him.

More kemeko deluxe parody.

>>35567
lol From what it LOOKS like...it looks like she was touched...Of course all I can really understand is that she's saying "Ehh??___ Sorry! I'm sorry!" in the last panel...
But you know...I don't picture Kyon as a good signer...
At all.

>>35593

I think that might actually be Kyon apologizing profusely in that last panel, I can't be complete sure though.

>>35567
>>35598
'Lil Ryoko is afraid of the actual English and not the singing.

Lots of parodies lately...

Chibi time.

:P

So beautiful ;_;

Ryoko and her counterparts from other animes. I know where two of the other three are from, but I'm not too sure about the last one, the nun.

>>35686
That'd be Zange from Kannagi.

I don't think that's Tsuruya, but I could be wrong.

>>35710
It's Nora Miku (野良ミク), a fan variant of Hatsune Miku that recently popped up. Since Nora means "rural" I guess it's supposed to be valley-girl-ish or something like that.

Asa and Asa.

Thank you, much appreciated.

I can't wait for C75. I hope Tokyo releases some new stuff as well.

The very picture of motherhood.

Back in black. And Tokyo is confirmed for C75, although at this point I don't think he knows if he's doing a new doujin or not.

Delicious.

Ami from Toradora as Asakura. The similarities are just too obvious.

d'awww.

>>35900
Any more of these and Kyon/Asakura is going to become my OTP. ._.

Unlimited Blade Works.

>>35972

Might I be able to get a source on that?

>>35971

That's awesome, nice collection!

Christmas is coming soon, so there's bound to be more of these soon.

Speaking of which, this is a little blue, but still a really good Christmas-y piece.

That was awfully mean of Yuki...

Looks like she's doing the Hare Hare Yukai, maybe.

Nice mace.

The taser is new...

>>36152
that means she'll be looking for people to try it out on

...time for an early vacation, methinks

Once again a case of "I have no idea what's going on."

Different uniform, but just as cute.

A stunning beauty, even with short hair.

Looking good in the bunnysuit.

>>36324

Might I enquire as to a source, perchance?

>>36325

>>36327

Thanks anonymous. Much appreciated.

Nice wallpaper.

She stole Yuki's headphones!

>>36379

Looks pretty cute with them as well.

Who on earth would lock out that kind of Santa...

>>36526

Someone who's already been bugged by Santa all day into having moments like this?

Merry Christmas... eve.

Hey, no excuse needed to post pictures this good.

>>36574

It's going to take her a while to cut the cake with that knife unless she uses data manipulation.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Judging from her expression, looks like she found Yuki under the tree.

>>36575

おい。。。
くりすます
だって。。。

Oi...it's Christmas, so...

>>36577

>Judging from her expression, looks like she found Yuki under the tree.

Indeed.

おっおかえりー

>>36593

Nice, thanks for the translations! It would seem the Christmas mayhem is still going strong though, this time with tiny Ryoko and Kyon.

>>36595

>Nice, thanks for the translations!

You're welcome. Merry Christmas! (Anon keeps the translations coming. See below.)

>It would seem the Christmas mayhem is still going strong though, this time with tiny Ryoko and Kyon.

I was wondering when loli-Ryoko would make a reappearance.

朝:
あたしはー、トナカイさんっ
キョンくんはー、サンタさんっ

キョン:
朝良、乗る没が逆だ。。。逆だけど。。。!!!
これはこれで(トン)

Ryou:
I'm a reindeer~
Kyon-kun's Santa~

Kyon:
Asa Ryou, the rider has fallen...it's a reversal, but...!
That's how it is. smacks himself

"I won't give it back unless you ████ ██ ███!"

>>36593

>おっおかえりー 長門さぁぁん♥
>W-welcome home Nagato-saaan♥

More like "おもちかえり", (catchphrase of Rena from Higurashi, and that's also Rena facial expression when she says it).

So, try "I want to take you home, Nagato-saaan".

>>36603
Not knowing anything about Higurashi, I'll concede to you.

In any case, I couldn't tell what was written behind Asakura's hair, and had to guess.

Thanks for the corrections.

You all deserve thanks for the translations, whether in providing or refining them. The work is always appreciated.

Might still be a few Christmas pictures over the next couple of days.

I have no idea what that little toy is, but I see it in Ashakura fanart. Perhaps it's from the next volume?

Looks like Yuki got some Christmas gifts.

Looks like a New Years wish...

No idea what's going on here either.

>>36671

All dialogue is Asakura's.

さて 年の瀬となりました!
皆様 お祭りの準備はいいかしら?

まぁ 人それぞれ…
目的があるとは思いますが…

風邪なんか引かないように
気をつけてくださいね

長門さぁ~ん

So, it's New Year's Eve!
Everybody, how are the festival preparations coming along?

My, so many people...
Purposeless, I believe, but...

So that you don't catch a cold or something
Please, do be careful, okay?

Nagato-saan
It's nursing time~~

>>36672

The translations are appreciated, as always.

Well, it is the year of the ox, although she's a tad off...

明けましておめでとうー
今年もよろしくね、ImageBoardのみんな！

>>36704

Happy new year to you as well.
新しい年もあなたにハッピー。

Adorable and elegant, all in one picture.

>>36766

I guess everyone is making new years wishes. Inui should do just fine though, if last year was any indication. Thanks as always for the translation.

Interesting style on this one.

Form fitting.

丑[年]賀正 — Happy [year of the] ox!

(text, in the corner)

本年もどうぞ宜しく
お願い申し上げます

Thank you for being kind
this year, as well

This one just seems... tragic.

Ready for deployment. All I can say is that I pity whoever is up against her unit.

>>36791

I know a certain cow who would probably like that pic.

>>36810

How cheeky of you, anonymous. While that may be true, he'll either have to see it here, or someone else will have to post it there. As for me, well, I made my choice, and I stand by it.

That being said, I'd rather not see this place cluttered with conversation that most of the people here could care less about. Nothing against you, anonymous, but there are better channels and places to discus such things. This is not one of them.

Interesting.

>>36894
Oh ho, jazz...Call of Duty, meet Asakura, codename "Knife."

Good thing for Kyon she didn't lead off like this in the series.

>>36797

(surfaces)

First of all, I do wish to apologise for taking a whole bloody week to get round to translating this. There are no excuses, really. I've just been a combination of busy and lazy.

Instead of my usual style—posting all the Japanese, then all the English—I've chosen to interweave the two, due to length, and to avoid confusion. I do hope that this is all right.

>This one just seems... tragic.

You are quite right. There's some food for thought to be found in this one—thank you for sharing with us.

And finally, to anybody who might be interested—if I may be so bold as to suggest this, I don't think I'm the only one who might like to see this comic shopped with a translation.

So! Enough chatter. Here goes.

Wow, that's really kind of depressing. Thanks for the translation nonetheless, but wow.

>>36902
It may not be the best, but here you go.
I hope I got it right. Thanks for the translation.

Well, hello there.

Asakirby.

This might qualify as a "Who are you calling cute!?!" moment.

Esuyuki does a re-imagining of the first Asakura X Kyon strip, this time with Figmas. The mini-Nendoroid doesn't have quite the same effect though...

This was far too cute not to post immediately.

Ready for trouble, or to cause trouble?

And now for something completely different....

And a tragic end indeed.

Breaks the heart doesn't it?

>>37148

Breaks my heart there wasn't more of it in the next volume of that short compilation series. It does say "To Be Continued" at the end, if I'm not mistaken.

More loli Asakura.

And now looking like a teacher.

>>37184

Oh my, that's lovely. Might I ask where you found it?

>>37185
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=2839897

Figures it was on pixiv under one of the tag permutations that I didn't check. Yesh.

Nonetheless. Thank you very much for the help, anonymous. It's greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the translations and edits, anonymous.

Thanks for translating this. Hmmm..... Asakura x Taniguchi? Another OTP to add to my list.

A follow up to >>37198, maybe. I thought that it might have just been a nosebleed, but now I'm not entirely sure. Yuki seems like the last person one would peg for domestic abuse, you'd think.

Spread the love.

It seems that loli Asakura is gaining in popularity.

>>37284>>37287>>37295

Weird, I'm almost positive those have been posted before. Oh well, all Asakura images (well, the safe for work ones at least) are more than welcomed as far as I've ever seen.

>>37303

Er, nevermind, I think I'm just going crazy.

Showing a conflict that perhaps never was, or that we at least weren't privy to.

Author's comment was something like: "Disappearance is still not here?"

S2 means that we all get to see more Ryoko, and for that I have nothing but love.

A casual day in for the both of them.

My only guess is that she's trying to distract you long enough to get into stabbing range.

Looking stunning as usual. Even in plain old bloomers.

>>37435
How the fuck are bloomers plain or old?

>>37456

Cute, I forget the parody of the facial features. Anyways, might I ask for a source?

>>37458
minami-ke

>>37459

Thought it looked familiar.

Well, that's an inopportune time for her to show up, and I'm sure Kyon would agree.

This is the latest page released for this comic, not sure if it's going to become the author's next doujin or not though. Regardless, you'd better hope Ryoko hasn't heard of Lorena Bobbitt, Kyon!

It's odd seeing Kyon being so protective of her when she gets turned into a kid. Odd, but cute.

Artist's comment...

Nice Boat.

Happy Valentine's Day.

Looks like things didn't go quite as planned for Ryoko.

A little late but hey, esuyuki's artwork is worth it.

Nice knife?

This seems like a good a place as any. I translated the doujin to the left, but sadly lack any editing skill. Is anyone interested in doing it? Here's a link to the rs:
http://rapidshare.com/files/59115389/_Nekousa_Pudding__Asakura_Kurakura.rar

>>37622

Oh lord, if I had any editing and typesetting skill I'd be on this in a heartbeat. I can only hope that someone else does.

>>37622

I guess that if no one is going to edit it, that maybe you could release the script? It's your choice of course, but I've always wondered what's going on in this doujin.

>>37627
Yeah, might as well. Anybody should feel free to correct any dumb mistakes, or criticize my translation.

Kn = Kyon
As = Asakura
Small text and sfx in parentheses.

Page 3:
Narration: One day, after the S.O.S. Dan’s activities had ended-
(rattle of door opening)
Narration: I had gone back to class to get something I had forgotten when-
As: Oh, Kyon-kun. What are you doing here this late?
Narration: There was our class rep.
Title: Asakura, Whimsical

Page 4:
Kn: Asakura? Are you here alone?
As: Geez, give me a proper answer. Is the S.O.S. Dan alright? Did you make Suzumiya-san angry?
Kn: (off panel) We’re done for today. I forgot something, to I came to pick it up. Haruhi’s on her way home with the others about now.
Mikuru: (Hyaaah!)
Haruhi: (No-no, Mikuru-chan!)
Kn: And what are you up to…
Kn: Ah.
Kn: (off panel) Class rep work… huh?
As: (off panel) Yes. It’s a busy job.
Right Paper: Survey Results

• Loli

Twin-tailed little girls
-Big or small breast?
Big breasts

Kyon’s Little Sister LOVE
Kn: (off panel) Hmm. I’ve never done it before, so I really don’t know.

Page 5:
As: It’s not that I had forgotten all about it until today, but…
(tee-hee.)
(bonk)
As: Chatting with everyone has been so much fun that I accidentally put it off… you know?
Kn: (off panel) You reap what you sow.
Kn: Huh?
Kn: But for you and Nagato, with your data manipulation it should be no…
As: (off panel) Wrong.
As: Did you forget? I’m on probation for attempted murder. I can’t use anything like that. (So there!!)
(poke poke)
(Uwah!?)
Kn: Ack, I get it, so don’t poke me in the side!!
(Heh heh heh…)
As: Hey… Kyon-kun.
(distant looking)
As: About before. Why did you save me?

Page 6:
As: I mean, I
As: (off panel) tried to kill you
(softly)
As: (off panel) right?
Kn: (off panel) Nagato’s the one who saved you, not me.
As (off panel) If you hadn’t said anything I would have just disappeared like that.
Kn: Hold on… Nagato.
Kn: She’s…
As: (off panel) So, why? After all, I’m just a puppet of the Thought Entity. Did you pity me? (Tn. Note: Asakura only uses 思念体 here so I just put “thought entity”, but the full integrated data entity might be better.)
Kn: I’m hardly a saint. Just pity wouldn’t be enough to make me save someone who tried to kill me.
(grab)
(Heh.)
As: Then why? Please tell me. I’ve felt strange ever since then.

Page 7:
As: When I look at you, my heart pounds, my head swims, and my body feels light.
As: Maybe If I know the reason why you saved me-
As: I might understand…
(stare)
Kn: Well-
Kn: Back then, the reason I… The reason I asked Nagato to save you was…

Page 8:
Kn: (off panel) Because you showed it to me.
Kn: The Golden Week math homework. (Tn. Note: Golden Week is a series of consecutive Japanese holidays that combine to give a week off.)
As: (off panel) Homework… That’s… it?
Kn: (off panel). It’s not nothing. You totally saved me back then.
(Agh! I’m screwed! I totally forgot-)
Kn: Well, no… That’s not really the only reason…
As: What do you mean?
Kn: (off panel) To me, Asakura Ryouko was one of the most popular students in class, the class rep, who’d show you her homework once in a while- That’s what I had a strong image of.
Kn: When you think about it in comparison to the over a month we spent as classmates, that incident was really only a few minutes. (It did have a big impact, though.)

Page 9:
Kn: When… you were going to disappear in that closed space…
Kn: Something came back to me.
Kn: (off panel) Beautiful, and a little scary…
(slightly annoyed)
(Hmmph!)
(Well, I suppose I don’t have a choice!)
Kn: (off panel) An ever meddlesome class rep.
Kn: And that’s it.
(taken aback)
As: Heh heh… Ah ha ha ha!
As: That sounds so stupid. Putting a person’s life and homework on the same level-

Page 10:
As: But I’m glad. I’m glad I showed you my homework, and that I’m the class representative.
As: Thanks to that, I was able to chat again like this.
Narration: Just having a casual conversation with her during breaks and after school was fun.
Narration: I may not have been able to have this conversation a second time… When I thought that, I realized how glad I was that she hadn’t disappeared back then.
Narration: Asakura Ryouko really is our representative
Book: Mathematics
Asakura
Narration: and the pride of our class.

Page 11:
Title: Asakura, Heating Up
Kn: You’ve still got more work?
As: Yes. There’s quite a bit. It’s seems to be questionnaires for the cultural festival.
As: …That’s it! If Kyon-kun orders it, then I’ll be authorized to used simple data manipulation.
Kn: Huh, seriously!?
As: Yes. If you give the okay, quickly… or rather, immediately, you could end it but… how about it?
(Arrow: Flag)
(ding!)
As: If you do it quickly~… the two of us could spend some intimate time together… hee hee hee!
(Pretty please~?)
Kyn …Knock it off. Maybe in one or ten thousand years. You might influence the results of the questionnaires.
(gulp)
(snap)
As: Ah…
(That’s what I expected…)
Kn: Instead…
(rub)
(Ding ding!)
(A full recovery!?)
Kn: I’ll help you with it.

Page 12:
Kn: This sure is a pain in the ass, though. And what the hell’s with the contents…
(Your favorite moe factor. Big breasts or flat chest? Sailor uniform or knee socks? Your favorite hairstyle? What is this?
As: I heard the student council gathered them… …so this is really Midori-san’s area…?
(I bet Kyon-kun goes for the big breasts and a ponytail~)
As: Hey, Kyon-kun, can I have this water?
(This.)
Bottle: Delicious Natural Rain Water
Kn: (off panel) Ah, sure. (I’ve had some, you know?)
As: Mmm… mn… m…
(Come to think of it-)
(gulp gulp)
As: Ah!
As: This is an indirect kiss, isn’t it?
(surprise revelation)
(Eh heh heh…)
As: Kyon-kun’s lips taste… sweet.
(blush)
Kn: Why would it be sweet!?
As: If you had some now, you’d definitely taste my lips!
Kn: As if!
Kn: (off panel) If you’re gonna say stuff like that, don’t drink anymore! I’m confiscating it!!
As: (off panel) Eeeh!? I want to have Kyon-kun’s taste a little… ah!
Leftmost balloon: Eeek!?
Bottom balloon: Hey- hey- oh no!, oh no!
(splash)

Page 13:
As: Ah-…
(soaked)
Kn: So-…sorry!! Are you alright!?
(Uwah!?)
As: It’s fine. If it were juice, it would have been awful, but it’s just water. I just need to dry it a little.
(waving hand)
As: There we… go.
(strip)
Kn: What the!?
Kn: What the hell’s with this Shounen Magazine like development!? (Tn. Note: The original has a pun on the series To-Love-Ru, which is itself a pun on the Japanese pronunciation of trouble. Additionally, the comic uses it in three different scripts- English, Katakana, and Hiragana. I don’t really see a way to translate this at all without a lengthy footnote explaining it, so I’m just going to use the above.)
(Heyyyy!)
As: I wonder if I should take the skirt off too. It’d be weird to take just the top off.
Kn: Your way of thinking is what’s weird, you alien!

Page 14:
Kn: (off panel) –Hey, woah---!! You absolutely can not take that oooooffff!!
(undressing)
As: Eh-, but it’ll feel gross if it gets damp.
Kn: (off panel) Show some shame!! What are you, an exhibitionist!?
As: Aah.
(paaf.)
As: That’s right.
As: I’m sorry. I really don’t understand the organic life-form’s concept of shame.
(Don’t slouch over-!?)
Kn: If you understand that much, get dressed!!
(Tn. Note: Unfortunately, I’m not sure on this one above the heart. Looks like “teheri” to me, but I’m not sure, and I can’t find anything for that.)
(jiggle)
(I’m not looking!!)
(shouting)

Page 15:
As: Geez, you don’t to have to hate it that much…
Kn: (off panel) No, it’s not that I hate it or anything…!!
(Shouldn’t a boy want to see a girl naked?)
As: It won’t hurt you… Don’t you want to see?
Kn: (off panel) I’d say that it’s exactly because I want to see that it’s bothering me…!?
As: (off panel) Then you shouldn’t you just take a look? I don’t mind. If there were other people here, that would be one thing… but if it’s just you it’s fine. Embarrassment is a feeling I really don’t understand.
Kn: (off panel) …Th-, then it’s fine? I’ll say it clearly, I’m amazing, master class! I’ll engrave your soft skin in super high quality semi-permanently into the depths of my mind! Even on my deathbed, I’ll be able to reproduce images that I can’t of my own grandchildren! And it’s still okay!? Is that really alright!?
As: (off panel) …I didn’t get all of that, but… Yes, it’s fine.
Kn: Al-… Alright… I like that spirit! Well then…!!
(sudden focus)
Narration: Cerebral Recording Fist!!
(whoosh)
As: Okay.
(Humming; Hmm hm hm hmm~)
(twitch)
(Hu-… Huh…?)
(trembling)
(Wha-… What is…I feel nervous…)
(shaking)
(Ah ah ah ah!)
Bottom: (stare)

Page 16:
As: Wh-, what… just what is this sensation…My heart is pounding… My face is hot… But… even though it’s just my body being seen… It’s like… like my insides can be seen… It feels like Kyon-kun’s running his tongue over my whole body… that’s… ah… oh no… ah…
(boiling up)
(Awah…)
(blush)
As: Ah-… oh… U-… Um…
As: Kyon…kun… Don’t… stare at me… like-
(thump thump)
As: This… is this… Am I… just maybe… embarrassed…?
As: This… embarrassment for organic life forms is this horrible!?
(dash!)
As: (Waa~h!)
As: I-, I can’t do it after all!
Kn: Hey, it was just getting good… That’s not what you promised!
(I’m not done recording yet!!) (Tn. Note: Add the “ZE” in at your discretion.)
Kn: Hold on, Asakura!!
(jump)

Page 17:
(slip…)
(smack)
As: Ah, what!? Eeeeeeeek!!
(yank)
(grope)
As: How is this even happening!? (A trip and fall miracle!?)
Kn: I really do make the impossible, possible…!!
Kn: (Nice hips!!)

Narration: Asakura-san received a lesson in “A Maiden’s Shyness”. (Something burst open inside of Kyon-kun as well.)

As: Alright, finished!!
Title: Asakura Bye-Bye
(tap tap)
As: Thanks for your help.
(snicker snicker)
As: There’s an embarrassing memory, but we did finish early.
(I wonder what Nagato-san or Suzumiya-san would say~)
Kn: (off panel) Uh… forget about that, and I’ll forget it too.
Kn: In any case… Asakura, why are you working in my seat?
As: Because my seat is already… No.
As: I wanted to see just a little of the world you’re looking at everyday… or something like that?
Kn: What’s with that?
Kn: (off panel) Normally that’d be off limits if we weren’t in class.
As: Heh heh… that’s true…
Kn: Well, whatever. More importantly, we’re done.
Kn: Let’s head home.
Kn: Oh yeah,
(door sliding open; rattle)
Kn: This is my first time heading home with you, isn’t it, Asa…

Page 19:
Kn: …Asakura?
Kn: What are you doing? Aren’t you coming?
As: Thank you for today. You accommodated my selfishness, and it was a lot of fun.
Kn: Eh? Ah, sure. But… I figured I’d walk you to your apartment to thank you for back then…
As: But, that’s too bad.
As: This is as far as I go.
As: Kyon-kun, it’s already
(smile)
As: too late for me.

Narration: Ah… why… Nagato healed Askakura… so…
Narration: No… When Kyon-kun asked Nagato-san to save me…
Narration: It was already too late…
Narration: I was fated to disappear.
As: Idiot… It’s your own fault for blaming yourself…
(slowly disappearing)
As: I wonder if that’s why my lingering feelings were called back. Was it Suzumiya-san? She saw you looking depressed, and wondered what to do, perhaps…
Kn: (off panel) I… I understand everything. Asakura… You let me think everything was normal on purpose… Because you made something happen, I was able to believe in Nagato… Otherwise, I…!!
Kn: (off panel)(top left) If only I had listened to everyone’s stories a little more seriously…!
As: (off panel) …That’s not true… Kyon-kun…

Narration: I’m just a bothersome killer, punished and erased for arbitrarily acting on her own initiative.
Narration: That’s all. It’s nothing you should feel pained about.
Narration: I was happy that I could be your make-believe classmate, even for just a little while…
Narration: Well then… With Suzumiya-san… No…
Narration: With everyone, be happy…
Narration: Bye…
Narration: Thank you…
Kn: A…
Kn: A… A… ah? Huh? What am I…? Gah, why the hell am I crying!? I’m so damn embarrassing!
Kn: No one saw me, did they…?

Aww, I had suspected that his memory got erased at the end, even though it doesn't come right out and say it I guess that seems to be the case. It's really quite touching, and more than a bit tragic too...

Thanks for translating it, anonymous. That was really well done.

Somehow, this picture reflects my melancholy rather well...

>>37633
Yeah, except for Kyon practically molesting Asakura it was pretty heartwarming. Coming from the same guy who had Yuki going yandere over some curry, it's a nice change.

>>37634

Although I don't approve of the molestation, it was one of the only things that lightened up a rather sombre doujin overall. Also, ra~men does love yandere, it seems, judging by some of his other works.

Nearly time for a new thread, perhaps.

>>37622
You guys called for an edit?
I'm working on one right now, I'll have it out by tomorrow or something. :)

>>37645

Awesome, thanks anonymous, looking forward to seeing the finished product!

A jilted Ashakura is a dangerous Ashakura.

Alright, here it is. :)
Took a bit longer than expected, but this is one Anon that still is a bit human and needs to feed. And because of this I'd like to apologize for some of the redraws, I'm still quite new at that.
As for translation notes, I added in a .txt with some of my own notes as well. Hope ya enjoy.

If you notice an error, do tell.

>>37658

It looks great. The only thing that I would have suggested is that one editors note on page 22 could have probably been put into the word bubble, since there's plenty of space and that's a really important realization for the story.

Other than that though, a well done translation and editing job by the both of you.

>>37659
That's my fault. Looking at it now, I really should have just put "Haruhi" instead of the generic pronoun. It's obvious in Japanese, but it doesn't work in English. Of course, whenever I see a translation of mine edited I see tons of places I should have done better.

>>37665

It's no problem really. You still did a great job, and the translation note does explain it.

Looks like her ploy in >>37428 might have worked. Alas, poor Kyon, we hardly knew ye.
