Drop 15: The Masters of the Otherworld
--------------------
!!! page 02
Genko: The weather is great today too--
Perfect for baumkuchen.
The dough is influenced by the weather--
I should make it a bit softer.
Ginsei: .....
Genko: I might change the oven temperature a bit too.
Meaning, raise the oven temperature.
FX: Head turning
Ginsei: .....
--------------------
!!! page 03
Ginsei: ...Why
Do I have to be your helper?
Genko: Since you're free to stand around, work.
Ginsei: I didn't come here to work. [TN: "Here" is written "the human world."]
FX: Whisk whisk
Genko: Yeah,
I can tell.
--------------------
!!! page 04
Genko: But,
Ioryogi has to move,
And you can't, right?
Ginsei: .....
...If I erase that girl--
Genko: WHAAT!!
FX: Roar
Don't say that sort of dangerous thing, brat!
What would you do if god heard you!
Your time in this shape would be extended again!
FX: Looking around
Ginsei: .....
--------------------
!!! page 05
Genko: You've always been like this!
FX: Boom
If there's someone who gets a little in Iorogi's way,
You immediately say "I'll erase them" or "I'll end them"!!
And you don't stop even if Iorogi thinks it's fun!!
Man, I remember so many times--
FX: Whisk whisk
That Iorogi! Why is he royalty of the otherworld!?
I can't understand it!
Ginsei: Aren't you an aristocrat?
--------------------
!!! page 06
Genko: Right!
If he becomes King by some huge misunderstanding,
I'd have to serve him!!
It's impossible!
AAUUGH!
FX: Sharp breath
Thinking about it, is the stuff this time
All right!?
--------------------
!!! page 07
Genko: No,
It's not good at all,
The current situation!
FX: Augh!
FX: Ding!
Oh,
They're done.
FX: Shuffling
Oh--
They came out well.
I do have a talent.
Ginsei: Then will you do it your whole life?
--------------------
!!! page 08
Genko: It's not like I can.
We have to do this sort of thing now,
But after all we're the masters of the otherworld.
--------------------
!!! page 09
Genko: Heaven,
Hell,
The human world,
And the otherworld.
Only humans in the human world
Are unconscious of the existences of each world.
No--
There are a rare few who understand.
--------------------
!!! page 10
Genko: In heaven, the angels whom god supervises;
In hell, the demons whom the devil supervises;
And in the otherworld, us, who are kings of the masters of otherness.
--------------------
!!! page 11
Genko: That each world is inviolate is the general rule.
Particularly the otherworld. Once, twelve years ago, ithey crossed the bridge on which one can go to heaven and to hell.
Even though the angel and the devel caused various problems,
That the denizens of the otherworld were uninvolved is the fault of that too.
But--
--------------------
!!! page 12
Genko: That idiot Iorogi.
FX: Glaring
Yes, yes, that slightly foolish Iorogi.
It's because he raised war in heaven that things have turned out like this.
Dear Ginsei: Lay off the lithium, man.
I was totally slain by the appearance of Clow and Yuuko in this chapter--I'd assumed that the lack of crossover between TRC/Holic/Wish/Kobato was sacrosanct. Maybe, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
outou joked, we really will find out in Kobato what Shaoran did in Hong Kong for two years in CCS.
That Iorogi raised war in heaven is not surprising at all, though, since the manga's been hinting about it for months. Speaking of which, I didn't capitalize "god" since the manga doesn't use デウス or 神様, just 神。I'm also not terribly happy with "masters of otherness," but I wanted to come up with a phrase that fit with the parallelism of the sentence.
P.S. Ginsei/Iorogi Y/Y?
