Kobato Drop 12B translation

[starlady]

Scans by undini, many thanks. I'm so impatient~

[01]
Kobato: Um...
When I said "that way"...

Um...

Okiura: I knew you were interesting, Kobato-chan.

FX: Glare

FX: Smooth
------------------------------
[02]
Okiura: Well,

FX: Click

Shall I go home for today?
In deference to Kobato-chan.

Tell Chitose "See you next time" for me.

Fujimoto: Bastard.

You intend to cause a bother even for Chitose-san? 

Okiura: When I have to, I will.

Without mercy.
------------------------------
[03]
FX: Smooth

Okiura: Because

I'm a yakuza.

Fujimoto: !

Okiura: Later, you two.

Fujimoto: Don't come again!

FX: Wave
------------------------------
[04]
Okiura: If that's what you want me to do,
Change residence quickly.

FX: Teeth grinding

Fujimoto: Hey.
What happened?

Kobato: Oh, no!
It's nothing at all!

FX: Awkward

Kobato: Oh!
------------------------------
[05]
Kobato: A cigarette!

FX: Quick movement

Kobato: Hot!

FX: Sudden

Fujimoto: Idiot!

FX: Grip

Fujimoto: Hmf.

Kobato: Fujimoto-san!
------------------------------
[06]
Kobato: What should we do!
We have to chill it!
Water!
No, ice!

FX: Confusion

FX: Flopping

Fujimoto: It's nothing.

Kobato: But, but!!

Fujimoto: It's not
Nothing for you?

Kobato: More than me,
You being hurt is awful, Fujimoto-san!
------------------------------
[07]
Fujimoto: You're over-reacting.

Sheesh, you immediately make a big stink.

Kobato: It's not overreacting!
Because it's Fujimoto-san...!

FX: Gasp

...Because it's Fujimoto-san...?
------------------------------
[08]
Okiura-san will be hurt, but Fujimoto-san will be in pain too!

That way, I always...!

It's tough when anyone is hurt,
It's awful and painful.

I...
Earlier, I thought that Fujimoto-san being hurt was worse than Okiura-san being hurt.
------------------------------
[09]
It's not over-reacting!

Because it's Fujimoto-san...!

Because it's Fujimoto-san,

I thought I couldn't stand it.

Is that because we're helping together at Yomogi Kindergarten?

Because we live in the same place?

Or is it...

FX: Flap

Ioryogi: Hey!
Fly properly!

FX: Flap flap flap flap

Bird: Please don't speak rashly.
I knew it, birds are night-blind--

Ioryogi: You weren't a bird originally, were you?

Bird: After the transformation, the characteristics of the form of that living thing appear strongly--
Wasn't it that way for you?

Ioryogi: Then wouldn't I have feelings like a stuffed animal?

FX: Flap flap

Ioryogi: Well then,
That admiration for Bear's Baumkuchen is bearish, too, huh?
It's too much like a fairy tale, isn't it, hey?
------------------------------
[13]
Bird: From a human point of view, our bodily existence is a fairy-tale.
At any rate, to the inhabitants of the human world, "heaven" and "the next world" are both nothing but fables.
The rest, wild delusions?

FX: Flap flap

Ioryogi: This is...

FX: Twitch

Bird: It's a beautiful song--
Woah--

Ioryogi: It's Kobato.

Bird: This couldn't lose to the singing voice of heaven's angels.
It's like that famous angel, Kohaku or something.

Ioryogi: You've heard of her?

Bird: Just once, on the bridge in the midst of heaven and the next world.
That was a magnificent singing voice.
------------------------------
[14]
Bird: With that, even an angel's egg would hatch, wouldn't it?

FX: Captivated

Ioryogi: Well, Kohaku certainly was good, only at songs.

Bird: But,
Somehow this song

It's a bit of a painful feeling.

Ioryogi: ...Kobato...

From now until two seasons turn,
In other words, a half-year extension?

                                                            
T/N: "Night-blind" is literally "bird-eyed," which I find amusing. And apparently when characters talk about "the next world," they mean reincarnation into the next life after their death in this one (thanks, herm_nefer!).

I laughed a LOT when Okiura said "I'm a yakuza." In my experience, the real ones never declare themselves so blatantly, since they have no need to (you will know them by their clothes and sometimes by their missing fingers).

Thanks for the translation 8D

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

he must realize he looks too shoujo-manga-bishie to be taken for yakuza.

kohaku mentioned...yay.

[starlady38.livejournal.com]

I couldn't get through Wish, but I did skim the last volume. It was odd.

[nokiirat.livejournal.com]

the whole reincarnated love part was weird at the time...but hey, clamp likes to mix it up.

wish is a good quick read if you run into it.

[starlady38.livejournal.com]

I have all of it. I gave up somewhere in volume 2. If I'm ever really bored (hah) I may try to finish it.

[shinigami-lady.livejournal.com]

Its seems like Kobato is realizing that she fell in love with fujimoto... or she cares too much about him. But the Kohaku thing... its getting a bit confusing.
Thanks for the translation!

[moezychan.livejournal.com]

That's what I was thinking! :D *really hopes she does* They're one of my OTPs <3

[moezychan.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the translation ^_^

[herm-nefer.livejournal.com]

There are several Wish Refernces in this story, which is probably why i like it so much. Kohaku being mentioned just made me squee though.

About the "next world". According to Clamp's Wish there really isn't a next world for the living >.> they just keep reincarnating once they dye...*blink*
Of course clamp likes screwing with all our brains.
Thanks for translating

[starlady38.livejournal.com]

That makes sense, I guess. Well, I'm glad I didn't say "death" right off the bat then. :-) Thanks for explaining the Wish whatnot to me, like I said I couldn't finish it. XD

[laury-kos.livejournal.com]

[mairenn-k.livejournal.com]

Thanks for translating!

[chibiyuuto.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

>From now until two seasons turn,

Two seasons? Half a year? I thought it was until the 4 seasons go around twice and thus, 2 years?

[starlady38.livejournal.com]

I will double-check, but I'm pretty sure that's what he says. I'll let you know. XD

Later: Yup, until two seasons turn, a half-year extension.

[chibiyuuto.livejournal.com]

Thanks, we might have to change it on CLAMP No Lumiere, then.

[starlady38.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's a repeat of what Ioryogi says in the middle of Drop 11.

[lovelessinma.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the translations! I didn't understand the part of Ioryogi and the bird very well ;;;
