Gate 7 05 translation

Very much a work in progress; as usual, I'll post to the comms when it's finished. I'm also working on a little Gate 7 tour of Kyoto post, stay tuned… ETA: I made a Gate 7 map of Kyoto. I'll keep updating it as the series goes along. /eta ETA^2: Fixed character name & line attributions in the last few pages thanks to sjou and la_vie_noire! /eta
