Sore ja! -Meimi Translation by Meimi (KSaintTail@aol.com) July 16, 2000 %thoughts (side notes) [narration] $flashbacks ------------------------------------------------------------ pg 168 Sidestory Priest pg 169 Hijiri: % God, I beg you... % Please let me be with the one I love from now on...forever... ?: ...jiri. Hijiri...Hijiri... Hijiri: Mm... Gin: Morning! pg 170 Hijiri: KYAAAAA! Hijiri: Gin! Don't do such things so early! Gin: How mean... But you wouldn't wake up when I tried, so I thought I'd awaken you with a kiss of love... Papa: Hijiri! What happened?! Hijiri: (One, two, three, four...) Arrow: Gin Gin: (Woof, woof, woof...) Papa: Oh, good. You're doing morning excercises... Hijiri: % I'm Okumura Hijiri, a second-year middle school student. Hijiri: (Whew, that was close...) pg 171 Hijiri: (And no fun...) Hijiri: % I'm a little (well, maybe a lot) strong in the % spiritual power department, but... % I'm a normal girl in love, yup! Gin: (Hey, hurry up!) Hijiri: (Wait!) Hijiri: % The guy's name is Gin. He's a demon I summoned ten years % ago. % A while ago, I was mad since he was forcing me to marry him, % but now we're all love-love! Gin: (That ribbon is cute.) Hijiri: (Eheh! Thanks!) pg 172 Hijiri: % But recently, I've been a bit worried about... Hijiri: "Jealousy-san"?! Hanako: Yup, it's the rumor all over school now! At six in the evening, in the sixth minute, in the sixth second, if a guy and a girl are in the classroom here alone... A demon will appear and try to possess one of them! They say it's a ghost whose love didn't work out... (So we call it "Jealousy-san".) Gin: ... Stupid! Hanako-san and this "four-o-clock" idiocy! How do humans make up these demons? Hanako: Only because you can't do anything! Totsuta: No need to worry! pg 173 Totsuta: Just watch, I'll seal that demon. Hijiri: % ...HIM!! Hijiri: T-Totsuta-kun.... Hanako: Here comes the Demon Ph. D again. (You're not in our class.) Totsuta: Excuse me, I'm needed here! It's because I'm training to be a priest. Hanako: Isn't your father a famous priest? Totsuta: Yup! He's excorcised lotss of demons and ghosts. I'm going to be a priest one day, and be just as great as him! So please don't worry, Okumura-san! pg 174 Hijiri: Why would I be? Hijiri: % Yes...the reason I was worried is because of Totsuta-kun. Totsuta: I don't know if you've realized it yet, but I know. You're possessed by some kind of strong ghost!! Hijiri: W-W-What do you- Totsuta: You've got a lot of spiritual power, so you're likely to have lots of weird beings around you. But you'll be fine, if you have these charms that have been passed down through my family... pg 175 Totsuta: Because they can seal any demon. Hijiri: What? Hijiri: % Any demon...? Hanako: (Why are you walking around with important charms like those?) Totsuta: (I also haave strong spiritual power- they're to protect me!) Totsuta: Okumura-san, would you like to buy one? Arrow: businessman pg 176 Gin: Oh my, my hand slipped. Totsuta: DON'T THROW CANNON BALLS IN THE CLASSROOM!! Totsuta: (Ah, gotta get back to my class.) Gin: Geez! What a jerk, trying to get close to MY Hijiri... Hijiri: Hey, Gin. Be careful of Totsuta-kun. Gin: Why? A guy like that can't do anything to me Hijiri: B-But- Gin: I'm telling you, it's fine. Hijiri: Gin... pg 177 Hijiri: % I'm upset now. % Because if Gin's identity was discovered, we might not be % able to be together anymore... Totsuta: Oh? Where's Okumura-san? Hanako: She went to eat lunch on the roof with Gin-kun. Totsuta: Then I'll go, too. Because there's no telling when some strange creature could attack Okumura-san. Hijiri: Here's your lunch, Gin. Gin: Thank you! (It looks great!) pg 178 Totsuka: % Let's see... Totsuka: Oh! Found her! Gin: UGH, the lunch is cold... Hijiri: Sorry, I didn't have time to recook it this morning! Gin: I'll heat it with the Kitsunebi. (Hijiri, give me yours, too.) Totsuta: Okumura-sa- Totsuta: !! pg 179 Hijiri: G-Gin!! Don't do that with so many people around! Please, Gin! Don't use your powers again, people might see... Gin: I don't care if they see or no- Hijiri: You SHOULD care!! Gin: ...what for? pg 180 Hanako: $ You can't do anything! Gin: ...are you embarrassed people might find out I'm a demon? Hijiri: W... What are you... pg 181 Gin: Uwa! That's cold...what're y- Hijiri: Why are you talking like that?! I'm really worried! Gin, you idiot, I hate you!! Totsuta: ...what was that... pg 182 Gin: Damn... I'm upset now.... Hanako: Oh! Hijiri, you going home alone today? Hijiri: Y...yeah, I guess. (Bye!) Hijiri: % What's with Gin! % Not even caring, when I'm so worried about it... pg 183 Gin: $ Are you embarrassed people might find out I'm a demon? Hijiri: % Oh, right... % This is the first time I haven't walked home with Gin... Hijiri: ... It can't be helped! I'll buy fried tofu for Gin, as a reconciliation! Arrow to fried tofu: Gin's favorite food Hijiri: Let's see...um... It's gone! GONE! My wallet's GONE! No waaaay...I wonder if I forgot it in the classroom... pg 184 Gin: It's getting dark... Rin: GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN! Whatcha still doing here? Gin: GAH! Rin... Rin: Hijiri left a long time ago. Gin: ... Rin: Was it about what happened at lunch? Gin: You saw that? Rin: Yeah, and do I feel sorry for Hijiri! Gin: (Uuh..) pg 185 Gin: I didn't mean to say that. It's just Hijiri seemed too worried about it...I felt like she didn't believe in me at all. Rin: This isn't like you, Gin! You're usually so shamelessly full of yourself, so self-centered, and stuff! Rin: Hijiri believes in you more than anyone, anywhere... Even more than me, an Otora Kitsune just like you. Shouldn't you know that better than anyone? pg 186 Gin: ...yeah. Yeah, you're right! Thank you, Rin! You really cheered me up! Rin: Oh... I guess so... Hijiri: Nobody's here anymore... The classroom without anyone in it is really eerie... Hijiri: Fo... Found it! Great! pg 187 ?: Okumura-san. Hijiri: KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA! To....Totsuta-kun! G-geez, don't suprise me like that! What's wrong? It's way past the end of school... Totsuta: I had something I need to ask you no matter what. Hijiri: Huh? What.... Totsuta: "Gin-kun"... ...what is he? pg 188 Hijiri: Wha... Totsuta: I saw it before, on the rooftop. Hijiri: % No way... Hijiri: S-saw what... Totsuta: When fire came out of Gin-kun's hand. Hijiri: % What do I do... Hijiri: Totsuta-kun, you must have been dreaming! There's no way he could do that... Totsuta: I thought that too, but... pg 189 Hijiri: W...what?! Totsuta: A blackout? Hijiri: N...no... Totsuta: UWAAAAH! It, it c-came!! pg 190 Hanako: $ At six in the evening, in the sixth minute, in the sixth $ second, if a guy and a girl are in the classroom here... $ A demon will appear and try to possess one of them! Hijiri: % The rumor was true!! Ghost: Let's go together...together... Hijiri: N... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! pg 191 Gin: Hijiri?! Totsuta: O...Okumura-san... Hijiri: % Gin... % N...no... % If Gin saved me now, Totsuta-kun would completely realize... % So how do I... Gin: Hijiri!! pg 192 Hijiri: Gin?! Gin: She... Hijiri: Gin, don't use your power!! Gin: LET GO OF HIJIRI!! Totsuta: !! pg 193 Gin: Hijiri, you okay? Hijiri: Y...yeah... Totsuta: I...I saw that... So you really are a demon... Just wait, Okumura-san! Right now I'll seal- Hijiri: Totsuta-kun, stop it! pg 194 Hijiri: Don't seal him!! Totsuta: W...why...? Hijiri: It's true, he's a demon but... Gin is the most important person to me!! Gin: Hijiri... Totsuta: ... pg 195 Totsuta: Augh! Hijiri: Totsuta-kun!! Ghost: Let's go together... Totsuta: UWAAAAAAAAAH! Hijiri: Gin, save him! Gin: What a troublemaker... Hey, grab on! pg 196 Gin: Kitsunebi! Totsuta: Ooh...what was that.... Gin: She had a peaceful death... Totsuta: Peaceful death? pg 197 Gin: That wasn't a demon, it was probably a ghost, whose lover betrayed her, and she commited suicide. If it had been a phantom, it would have been halfway funny and more chaotic. Totsuta: ....why'd you save me? After I tried to seal you... Gin: Isn't that obvious? Because Hijiri asked me to. And since my power is just to protect Hijiri... Hijiri: Gin... pg 198 Totsuta: I was too late, so I'll stop spending my money on these... They don't have any meaning. Hijiri: Totsuta-kun... Hijiri: Geez...for a second I didn't know what would happen there... Gin: I said it, didn't I? We didn't have to worry about that guy! (I'm ALWAYS right.) Hijiri: (HMPH.) Hijiri: % He's as self-obsessed as always... pg 199 Hijiri: It would have been better if you were sealed! Gin: WHAT!! (How could you?!) Hijiri: % I don't know if more uneasy stuff will happen from now on, % but it'll all be okay. % Because the fact that I love Gin won't change. Hijiri: Kidding! Let's always be together. Gin: Of course! Box: Afterwards... Totsuta: Gin-sama! Take me as your follower and teach me all about the purification of demons! Gin: What kind of demon would take a priest as a follower?! Hijiri: Totsuta-kun, don't you have any pride at all?
