Mugen Densetsu Takamagahara Dream Saga Tankoubon Two, Chapter Seven Kioku no Shuuketsu Ran in Nakayoshi August 1997 Disclaimer: This translation is meant as a guide for those who wish to read the manga. Please don't steal this translation or do anything illegal with it. Please don't use this for commercial use or sell it, etc. >.< Another note is that I am translating with Japanese One basic knowledge- there are very well mistakes in this. I welcome all help/corrections. Arigatou, minna. * Yuuki says on page 48 to sit "seiza". It's the formal Japanese way of sitting...basically she's telling them to sit formally, but I had no idea how to translate that without it sounding awkward, so I just left it as is. * Nachi calls Souta "Megane", meaning "Eyeglasses"...I just left it as is since it's a nickname. ^^; Sore ja! -Meimi Translation by Meimi (KSaintTail@aol.com) October 23, 1999 %thoughts (side notes) [narration] $flashbacks ------------------------------------------------------------ pg 44 Chapter Seven End of a Memory pg 45 Yuuki: % This person... % We met in Takamagahara...!

Guy: I remember, you're the priest with the long hair. I have the ledgendary magatama....and...two memories. Souta: It's just like Binga said. We'd find the magatama around Yuuki...! pg 50 Takaomi: ...what are you talking about? Yuuki: Ta-Takaomi-kun... Guy: "Takaomi", then he's- (REWARD!) Souta: No. Takaomi isn't "Takaomi". He doesn't have the magatama... Yuuki: U-um...I... Yuuki: % What do I do...what's a good explanation... Yuuki: Um, right! People from other classes have to do research for the homework too! There's a lot, so we're researching it together so it'll be faster! Isn't that great?! Nachi: (Nobody's listening to me...) pg 51 Takaomi: ...I see, it's good that you're getting the information so fast. Nachi: (You're not listening! HEY! Don't ignore me!!) Nagato: HI! Morning, everyone, take your seats! Souta: Oh...it's sensei. Guy: Come to my class after this. Yuuki: ? pg 52 Guy: There's another one in my class! A guy who has a weird stone. I'm Hyuuga Taizou from class five! You have to come! (I'll be waiting!) Yuuki: % Huh? % Another one with the...magatama? Nagato: Lately, in houses around the area, there are places where the water supply is turning red. pg 53 Girl: Oh, that happens at my house. Girl: Yeah, it's gross... Yuuki: That happens? Souta: Well, not at my house... Nagato: Investigation results show that it's not harmful to the body. The people from the water supply are working to find out the source...and sincerely... There's silly rumors about it being a ghost, or a spell, or a curse, so please don't believe them. Girl: But I heard it wasn't just the water supply...I heard that water in all different kinds of places is turning red. Girl: (Oh, no way!) Yuuki: ... pg 54 Nagato: Now, let's start the first class... Banner: Class is over Yuuki: Souta, I'm going to class five! Souta: Wait, I'll go too! Yuuki: What's that?

Souta: W-what're you doing... pg 56 Boy: If I take this and this, I can make something! I don't have one that was thrown out... Yuuki/Souta: % HUH. Boy: Oh, this one's still new! Yuuki: ... Taizou: What are you guys doing... Yuuki: Oh, Taizou-kun. He overturned all the trash... Taizou: Oh yeah, that's him. Yuuki: % WHA? pg 57 Taizou: He has a weird stone. Yuuki: % Whaaaat?! Taizou: Hey, Keima!! Show them your stone. Keima: This bag is so glossy~~ Yuuki: ... Keima: Here! Souta: It's a magatama...! pg 58 Taizou: This guy can take anything that's thrown out and make something weird out of it. Keima: This wasn't thrown out. It flew into my hand! It's so pretty! (Ufufufufu...) Taizou: I thought he was weird for saying stupid stuff like that until yesterday...when I woke up and... I have one too now~~~~~ Yuuki: % There's nothing to cry about... Taizou: But he has weird dreams, and the memory he has, is the... Souta: ...same as ours?! pg 59 All: ...Takamagahara!! pg 60 Taizou: And the weirdness keeps getting weirder... (You two are weird too...) Yuuki/Souta: I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT FROM YOU! Souta: You're... (Um, your name...) Keima: I'm Sagami Keima, nice to meet you. Yuuki: Keima-kun, where are you in Takamagahara? Keima: The capital, Ryuushaa. I make a living there... pg 61 Keima: The city is a paradise of trash, there's so much.... Others: % What kind of life does he have... (Scary...) Taizou: ...somehow, just we can go back and forth to Nakatsukuni and Takamagahara in day and night. Yuuki: It's not only us. There are lots of living things coming here from Takamagahara. Like the huge bugs called the Shitoron Herosu... Souta: Could you mean...that monster at the shrine in Y prefecture? (I was worried about that, from the news...) But Yuuki, you calmed down about everything, so they stopped appearing in Nakatsukuni. Yuuki: The balance was crumbling, and...um...the sun disappearring- Taizou: ...stop! pg 62 Taizou: You don't need to tell everything. Keima, you know most of it already, right? Keima: Yes, because I have the magatama, surely. And I was thinking...that red water... Souta: You mean that water colored red? Keima: There's a shrine close to my house. I go because there's a lot of trash near there, but... That shrine has an old pond there called the "Mirror Pond". Even in winter, it won't freeze over-- it's really mysterious. Sometimes, strange things are reflected inside it. pg 63 Souta: What, that's just a story so... Keima: I saw it here! The pondwater...was BLOOD RED and-- Souta: UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! (Quit it~~~~~) Keima: And right after that....all the houses around it were getting red water...the redness only ended at the river... I'm sure that pond was where a girl committed suicide by drowning, and because of her hatred... And just like her blood did...the water is stained red... And the soul without her owner is drifting around like a spirit... And she might be coming to YOUR house nex- Souta: (U...) pg 64 Souta: GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! (I'm not listening, I'm not listening...) Yuuki: Is that true? Keima: I thought up everything after the part with the suicide. But everything before that is true. Binga: $ Mainly a shrine...or maybe a place with a mirror... Yuuki: % A shrine...and a "Mirror Pond"... Taizou: Let's go look at the shrine after school!! pg 65 Souta: (Wha.) Yuuki: Yeah! Let's go. Keima: Sure. Souta: Stop it~~~~ Yuuki/Taizou: We'll meet at four at the school gate. Text to Yuuki/Taizou: No mercy Banner: Lunch break Yuuki: (Huh?) Takaomi-kun...? pg 66 Yuuki: % On the rooftop, he somehow looks so lonely... Takaomi: ...Yuuki. Yuuki: ...you aren't playing with everyone else? Takaomi: Neither are you. Yuuki: (I...) I'm sort of...thinking about a lot of stuff... Takaomi: I see. Yuuki: % What do I do? % I'm sure Takamagahara is meant to be kept like a secret... % But Takaomi-kun... pg 67 Yuuki: % But I don't want it to be like this!! Yuuki: ...um, Takaomi-kun!! Takaomi: (Hm?) Yuuki: I want to tell you something, um...I don't know if you'll believe me or not, but... It's all the truth...so...um... (Really!) Takaomi: Sure!! Yuuki, you're not a liar. pg 68 Yuuki: Um... Yuuki: ....and that's the story. Takaomi: ... Yuuki: You don't believe me after all, do you~~~~~?! (Auuuugh, you must think I'm such a weird girl~~~) Takaomi: (Yu...) Yuuki... pg 69 Yuuki: But this is real! Look, it's my magatama! This is the only proof I have but-- Takaomi: ! pg 70 Yuuki: % Just now...just now... pg 71 Takaomi: Cool!! This stone really does glow! (Suprised me...) Yuuki: % It's gone... % Did I see wrong? But... Takaomi: ...it would be great...if the Takaomi in Takamagahara was me... pg 72 Yuuki: % Wha... Takaomi: ...and then, always...I'd always be able to see Yuuki in my dreams... Okay!! About that research, leave it to Nachi and me. You and Souta have enough to worry about, right? Right? Yuuki: Y...yeah... Yuuki: % I just realized. % Like Binga said, normal people really don't have any % memory of what happens in dreams... pg 73 Yuuki: % So I don't even know... % If "Takaomi" is Takaomi-kun. % And he doesn't remember me either. Souta: Hey... pg 74 Souta: Let's leave! We don't even know if it has anything to do with Takamagahara! Yuuki: How will we not if it does then? Keima: Everyone, here it is. Souta: Uwah! Keima: Look... That is the Mirror Pond! pg 75 Souta: L-look, it's not red after all... (Let's go home!) Keima: How weird, when I looked at it... Yuuki: Ah... pg 76 All: !! pg 77 pg 78 Yuuki: Oneesan...! Souta: G-g-ghost... Yuuki: No, she isn't. Her name's Nakime-san, she's from Amaterasu-sama's shrine from Takamagahara. Keima: "Nakime-sama"...the Omohikanenokami! Yuuki: You know her? Souta: She's very famous in Takamagahara. Yuuki: Famous?? Keima: But this is the first time I've seen her... It's nice to meet you, we're- Yuuki: You can't! pg 80 Yuuki: We can't talk to her, because I lost the Shinjuukyou... Keima: I see. Yuuki: But Nakime-san, look!! We've found four people!

Yuuki: ...! pg 83 Keima: There's no mistake...this pond is linked with Takamagahara...! Souta: Is something there trying to come here again? Yuuki: No! Something is saying, "help"...!
