“Ive told you before and my feelings haven't changed. I love you Sakura. Even if I cant match up
to Natsume, my feelings would not lose to his. Even if we part ways and you forget about me, I
will always think of you. Even if I grow old and leave this academy, I will definitely come see
you. I'm here for you, until the day you look my way, I will always... I will always wait for you,
together with Natsume. And this time around, I wont let Natsume steal you away again. Next
time we meet, I will be more straight forward with my feelings, so that this time around, it wont
be Natsume, but me you will choose, and me you will love. I wont lose, definitely." - Ruka”

“Books can also provoke emotions. And emotions sometimes are even more troublesome than ideas.
Emotions have led people to do all sorts of things they later regret-like, oh, throwing a book at someone

“Yes, boys are a little like shoes. Why? Well...They can be useful. But mainly...They are nice to look at.
Getting the right one can be a lovely accessory to an outfit. There are times when you couldn't do
without them. And there are times when you'd rather do without them. Get the wrong ones and they
can hurt. There are many types and often the ones that look the nicest are completely unpractical.”

“Shigure: "Lemme guess; you lost your temper and yelled at her again, right? You know, you shouldn't
do that if you're just going to regret it. Not too bright, now is it?"
Kyo: "Save your breath. I'm just not meant to get along with other people. Period. End of story."
Shigure: "Oh sure, some people just aren't. But you're not one of them. You lack experience, that's all.
For example, I'm sure you could smash this table to bits with your bare hands. But I'm equally sure you
could punch the table without breaking it. And why is that? Because I know your training has taught you
to control your fists... at least I should hope so, after four months of fighting bears and-"
Shigure: "My point is, it takes just as much training to get along with people. Only, training by yourself in
the mountains won't do you any good. You need to surround yourself with others. As you get to know
them, of course you take the chance that you'll end up hurting them, or they'll end up hurting you. One
of those things might very well happen. That's the only way we learn... about others, and about
ourselves. You're a black-belt in martial arts, but I'd guess you still a white-belt in social skills. Someday,
you're going to meet someone that truly wants to be your friend, and you, theirs. But it if you don't keep
training, you won't be ready when that happens."

color that simply keeps being itself. A color that sinks more somberly than any other color, yet asserts
itself more than all other colors. It's a passionate gallant color. Anything is wonderful if it transcends
things rather than being halfway...”

MY LOVE FROM ANOTHER STAR aka YOU WHO CAME FROM THE STAR [2013]
Trying to keep her pride after ripping off money of her daughter all the time.
If a reason for me to meet her comes, then don't you think I will?
If I go without meeting her, then it will be because there was no reason to.
Hui Kyeong, furious about Song Yi drunk and get into Do Min Joon's apartment:
who knows what you are going to do to a woman who got drunk?
If you want to, and even if you don't, things are bound to happen.
I've been on a couple of dates but I didn't have anyone to call a 'first love'.
When I was young, there could've been a big accident, but some ahjussi saved me.
I still remember.
Like FATE.
Since you said you won't concern yourself with matters regarding Cheon Song Yi,
People live really dilligently eventhough they know they're going to die.
But, although the future is important, isn't the present just as important?
Do Min Joon, ignoring her: Third, keep your distance from me, 1 meter at least.
That's why the face of the hottest star at the time gets put up there.
Do Min Joon: I didn't know there was such a thing until today.
Cheon Song Yi: It's probably because you're so out of it that you didn't recognize me.
when I'm depressed, when I'm hungry but can't eat anything because I'm on a diet,
When I'm hurt by others too, if I see myself smiling prettily like that,
it comforts me a little.
Do Min Joon: Do you want to know the method to not be hurt by people?
Don't give or take anything.
Do Min Joon: There are over than 10 reporters who are waiting for you in front of my door.
Out of people who live down there, more than half of them would know you well.
There are always a lot of people around you, but you are here alone.
Because I can finally do something for you. There's room for me.
I've been telling you about my feelings like a joke for 15 years.
I joked about it because I was afraid you'd shut me out if I said it seriously.
You said you feel most comfortable with me because I've seen all sides of you.
You can live doing whatever you want, I will make that happen.
Do you know why people fear death? Because they will be forgotten.
It's because the world will not change after they are gone,
Do Min Joon, trying to catch Lawyer Jang: Why are you walking so fast?
Lawyer Jang: I've been telling you for more than 10 years, you never listened to me!
[walk away]
A meal is mysterious.
Strangely, whenever I'm having a hard time, you are always next to me.
~Cheon Song Yi
No matter how beautiful this ceramic is, you don't get butterflies by looking at it.
And graceful pine trees don't cause the heart flutter either.
Right now, the Cheon Song Yi standing in front of me is like a ceramic, a puppy, or a pine tree.
Therefore, you don't have to be sorry or worry about my heart fluttering because of you.
You asstes are almost settled, but I can't settle your heart for you.
then wouldn't the heartache suffered by the person who's left behind
be commensurate to the depth of the feeling, not to mention the one who's leaving?
As for me, someone who will stay by my side for a very very long time.
seriously forever who will stay by my side for a very very long time.
The reason why you are still alive, is because I'm letting you live.
So be grateful.
There must be a reason for people around you to loeave you, Miss Cheon Song Yi.
Do Min Joon: Before holding grudge against the people around you for mot taking on your side, think
about why you haven't been able to make them stand on your side.
If you can't go to your friends or family, why are you at a strange man's house?
Cheon Song Yi: Then I'm not the Cheon Song Yi I used to be.
I think I might get found out, the current me, that is.
But if I get my shabby-self found out, I feel like I might really break down.
Do Min Joon: Cheon Song Yi, get your head screwed on straight as you live.
Whether you know the world or not, the world won't take it easy on you.
even if you say you feel like you could die from how unfair it is,
If you take a wrong step, you'll fall down into a bottomlessness wilderness below
So...
Cheon Song Yi: So... I'm asking Manager Do to stay next to me.
It's weird.
~Cheong Song Yi
I clearly tried to seduce you for 15 seconds.
~Cheon Song Yi
he defended me saying that I should only hide when I've done something wrong.
As time passed like that perhaps I've come to rely on that person,
~Cheon Song Yi
Do Min Joon: Because you really wanted to hear my answer, did you come all the way here?
Why were you by my side when I was going through tough times?
Why?
But since you're a woman with a lot of pride, I didn't think you would go this far.
but rather one says "You should come down to the trenches I'm stuck in".
I'm sorry, but I'm not going down there, into those trenches you live in,
that hellish place where you live hating and being jealous of someone.
I won't do it.
Go!
Cheon Song Yi, instead of run away, she holds Do Min Joon with her trembling hand:
You went along with everything I wanted to do, you listened to me.
I can't eat with her, go for a walk, celebrate together, or anything else.
I want her to eat nice food, go for a walk, celebrate the good days,
You never like me even for a second for who I am, instead of someone like her?
~Cheon Song Yi
Do Min Joon: Is it more important than I'm an alien and that I lived longer than 400 years?
That I like you or not?
whenther you're an alien, vampire, a monster, or whatever your past life was like.
Whether you like me with your heart even foe a second or if you were interested in me because of a girl
you couldn't get over,
Whether you saved me 12 years ago, whether you were that man or not,
But if I were just a replacement for someone else, then you're the worst.
I don't know if Hui Kyeong to you is a good friend who you feel comfortable with if he is next to you.
But to me, he is the one I want to have, even if I have to throw away everything I have.
~Yoo Se Mi
~Cheon Song Yi
~Cheon Song Yi
If she existed in real life, I could find out who she is.
But if she locked away in your memory, how could I beat her?
~Cheon Song Yi
Help me...
Do Min Joon, in his room: Okay.
the actual time I had left for myself wasn't very much.
Now I know it all too well, that the length of time isn't important.
Then he said that he is going to stay with me knowing that he could die?
Why?
If I could stop the time so we can stay together forever, I would even sell my soul.
Because it's so hard for me to feel this way.
But even if I could turn back the time, I would meet you again.
~Cheon Song Yi
Do Min Joon: I've already made up my mind. I will stay by your side.
~Cheon Song Yi
I've witnessed so much of a person being born, growing and aging, then died.
they were all people who would age, wrinkle and disappear.
Why would they struggle and live so tenaciously, as if they're experiencing a war?
An earthling's life, when observed from the sideline, is pathetic and futile.
It's simple.
There was no one before him and there won't be anyone after him.
Though he may not be an ordinary person, to me he is just a person I love.
~Cheon Song Yi
If you die while being next to me, I'm going to cry like earlier.
For many days and weeks, no, many months, no, many years.
During all the long, long time, if I want to see you, what am I to do?
No matter how much time passes, if I can't forget you, than what should I do?
Since you don't seem to have the thoughts of saying that you love me,
as you live way longer than me, you will forget eventually,
but a perfect woman such as me really loved you a lot and liked you,
I stopped time uncountably during times that you aren't even aware of.
Don't wear clothes that show off your skin when it's cold.
No passionate melodramas.
And don't look at the sky at night and wonder if it's this star or that star.
I will find a way to stay with you for a long time no matter what, I will do that.
Everything.
Until it doesn't hurt to talk about him, how long will it take?
Yoo Se Mi: You're only thinking about him, you can't stop thinking about him.
But at some point, you will realize that you're thinking about him.
Then you think, "Oh, I was actually thinking about something else until I thoight of him."
Good news: as I was finished translating and wrapping up, I checked for the nth time and saw that a
higher-quality scan had finally been posted on another website. I can see the furigana and the kanji
clearly! Which means I had to return to my most difficult parts and either go: “Yes! I’m so good, I got the
good kanji!” or “So that’s what it was! Finally I have a good shot!” Expect some changes in the first part,
but not much, since I mostly got them. Still, after all the hours spent staring at my screen, adjusting the
zoom, searching a kanji by radical, stroke number, parts, pronunciation or just gut feeling, it’s nice to
have a clear shot.
On that note, here you go for part 2! Less exciting than the first part, but still some very interesting
thoughts and conversations.
There was a small text at the end of p.15, saying the location. “Hakuyou Country Royal City (probably the
sector, but I can’t find it. Maybe (a big maybe) northwest hill)).
Kigaku: “Oi, // anyone here? *Stomp stomp stomp* Angry Yuulin: “What the heck Kigaku!! Don’t enter
our house’s grounds!” Seishin: *nee-san, calm down* Yuulin: “Right now our house is not in your debt
you know!? *destroyed debt!!!* *gold dust!!!*” (not sure about that last one) Kigaku: “As usual, you
totally lack charm, huh.”
Yuulin: “Lack charm? If you have so much free time to spare, // (just) let me work steadily! // To swing
superficial words such as 「cute」, you’re really an idiot…” “Why are you seething so much (with anger)
… *you’re terrible*” Next to Kigaku, there’s a square saying: “Money-lender’s son.” Nonchalant Kigaku:
“Aah ー The woman thrown away by a man is this much devastated. You learned something… Don’t
cause too much bloodshed (now).” And he waves her goodbye. Yuulin goes “Huuuh!!?” and Seishin is
trying to hold her back: “Nee-san // now, now-” Square: “My name is Tei Yuulin. // I live with my
unreliable father and my cute and clever little brother. // Quite the average commoners ー”
Square: “However, // my previous duty was a bit unusual.” Koudai just pops his head upside down by
the window and says: “He-ey” “You seem well // everyday. *The daily life of the powerful housewife.*”
Yuulin, who doesn’t seem concerned at all: “Here too the surveillance job (must be) troublesome, //
Koudai. // There’s not particularly much to see (or do) except talking to the part-timer.” Koudai: “Maa,
maa, won’t you give up for a little while?” (not sure, but maybe she’s been trying to get him to stop his
surveillance?) Yuulin: “I received a severe threat from Rijun-san and was coerced some retirement
money” We see background Rijun all scary, a big bag in his hands, saying: “Well then, Yuulin-dono, if by
any chance you leak to the outside, you understand (what’s gonna happen)… to your whole family? If
anything was to occur, you understand (what’s gonna happen)? Moreover, here is (some) hush money.
You certainly understand it.”, while Yuulin just nods, trembling.
Koudai, smiling and still upside-down: “Nah nah, this is a gre-at special treatment” “Just for a proper
surveillance and hush money, and a wish of understanding that we can get you sent back home, among
other things. // As I expected, the treatment is different when fired.” Annoyed Yuulin, who happens to
have a knife in her hand, to cut a daikon she has in her other hand: “Did you // want to talk about
something?” Koudai: “Nope, nope.”
Koudai: “I told him the secrecy was unnecessary.” (not sure) “Ah! Today those boiled vegetable are a
little strongly seasoned, no?” Yuulin: “(Just) don’t talk. * And since when are you snitching food?*” Now
apparently alone (and probably some time later), Yuulin signs and thinks, with an empty basket in hand:
“Haa… Since the preparations for the evening meal are finished, // let’s start collecting the repaired
things. // After is the cleaning and repairing of the house here and there…” Background text: “Since
returning home, there’s always something to do daily.” (She’s thinking that as in a good thing) We see
her and her brother with each a basket in hands, filled with something that looks like clothes or sheets.
Background text: “It seems like a dream that until just the other day, I was a part-time queen in the
inner palace.” Flashback image of her dressed as the queen. Thinking Yuulin: “Dressing up prettily, //
gracefully eating delicious things.” Background text on an image of the inner palace: “A spacious inner
palace // surrounded by seasonal flowers // in spring, // fall, // summer, // and winter.” (Note:
Ooohhhhhhh, is she starting to miss it? It’s always different when you know it’s permanent and not just
a vacation.)
Background text on a flashback of her and the King happily pretending: “The two of us spending time
(together).” (OOHHH again!!!!!) “(we/I) can’t go back anymore.” She makes kind of a sad face. “ー His
Majesty is” and then you see her cutting quite fast and almost aggressively her daikon (*chop chop chop
chop chop chop chop chop*) with her knife, face tense, almost like she’s trying to hold her anger in, all
the while thinking: “An idiot! Moron! Womanizer! The worst! Big (fat) liar! *Iidiot, iidiot!!” (I’m liking this
more and more, haha she’s angry! She can’t stop thinking about him!)
Kneading dough (*squeeze, squeeze*), but angry face with eyes wide open, she thinks: “What does it
mean the Wolf King is not an act!” “Are you saying that seeing me doing the part-time job I was tricked
into, I’ve been laughed at!? I don’t get it!” Small flash-back image of her blushing in front of the King,
probably after something he said. Then she starts almost attacking her dough (*whack, whack*), veins
pops in her head, and the bubble is not so round. She’s still thinking: “I mostly know I’ve been made fun
of! Besides, what is this about!? // The view from up there! That is the King(’s)! *(and)ー arrangements
for (family a women has married into)?*” (I know it sounds weird, but that’s what I got) Little Puppy King
seen above her head. The next sentence I have 2 choices: “Is His Majesty my father!!!” or “His Majesty’s
like my father!!!” (not sure which one) followed by “*Stop messing with me, stupid!! (I’ll) squish (you)-”
And now she’s attacking with all her might the poor dough (*SMASH!!!!*), still angrily thinking: “And
then saying such things to the other party. // Such a kiss, that womanizer ー!!!”
Seishin who peeks in: “Nee-san, you made a lot of noise, but are you all right?” Defensive Yuulin: “I’m all
right! *I’m just preparing the meal*” Seemingly unconvinced Seishin: “Is that so…” Taking the dough in
her hands with a sign, her bro probably gone, there’s background text: “That day, His Majesty // didn’t
listen to anything I had to say.” Sadly looking down, face red and holding the dough, the background
text continues: “Looking at me with those dreadfully cold eyes, saying some (really) mean things.”
There’s a ー line, then background text continues: “To forbid to retain even a single connection, I
(definitly) don’t approve (of that).” Sad face: “Awful person, // scary person.”
Flashback of when he hugs her after the kiss: “ー However // at that time // your arms were gentle. //
As I thought, more than me, he seems to have been lonely, for a long, long time. // That’s why he held
me (so) tightly.” Image of them being face to face. Square: “The scary king, the gentle king, // whichever
that person is, // within myself, I’ve fallen hard.” (Kyaaa!!!!!)
Yuulin’s back, thoughts: “ー I’ve somehow grown used to hatred. // …My throbbing feelings, // the
feelings I thought to be love have” Then it switches to an image of a smiling His Majesty. Continuing
thoughts: “already, inside of me, // become // neither dreams nor illusions.”
There’s an image of the inner palace, the back of two ladies in waiting walking, (“Wherever I am”)
followed by an image of the entrance of what seems to be the palace (“(Even if I’m) not by your side”),
then we see her face, tears in the eyes (“never again do I (want to) // grow used to”)
“not seeing you (anymore).” Then she’s seen with a basket with three dough in it. She seems surprised,
with a “ah” above her head. Bubble thought: “Ooh! // While I was angry, the preparations weren’t
done!” (Aaand that signals the end of her wonderful thoughts. It’s so romantic!) Koudai, perched on the
roof, thinks: “ー Okisaki-chan seems somehow well. *strong-willed.* // As I thought, the problem is”
Sweat-dropping with a wry smile: “over there, huh.” Chibi: “The voice (that’s) at the royal palace
honestly trying.” (kinda weird, I know, but that’s the best I came up with) A voice then says: “Well then,”
Back in the royal palace, a bowing Shuu Kouren (a character that appears in chapter 26) continues: “I will
go ahead about the matter of the previous discussion.” Reishou: “Aa, I’ll be counting on you.” Kouren,
with his usual spooky face, goes “… *stare*” Reishou, chin supported by his hand, looking kinda
annoyed, says: “What. // I won’t listen to worthless account.” Dark aura around Kouren (*gloomy
gloomy*), who responds by: “Well, you (seem) somewhat unconcerned about the health of your
body ー… ” The king automatically responds: “I don’t want to be told (that) by someone with your
complexion.” With a wry smile, he continues: “Since the work is done, you are dismissed.” But Kouren
remains: “ー… // In that case, there is one more matter.”
A parchment is shown. Kouren: “This letter has arrived // from the province of You.” Blurry flashback of
two people, one smaller than the other. Reishou, with his Wolf King smile: “Aa, I see. // That flower
who’s not coming.”
End. Now I have to wait at least 3 weeks for the next one. Nooooooo! This chapter was totally crammed
with wonderful things, and I had a lot of fun. And who knows, when we’ll have caught up and this
chapter will be the next one to be published (in a long time, granted), maybe my translation’s the one
who’s gonna be used? Of course, it’ll then need proofreading and filling up of some holes (for example, I
didn’t do ALL the onomatopoeia). But still. I’m impressed with myself. I have to thank all the work I did
since I started working for the team, the dreadful chapter 26 which I made a second translation of, and
of course Juzefa and Kishi, because I could compare my translation with theirs, which made me learn a
lot. Maybe, when I’ve gotten used to my real life job, I’ll take up the job of translator for the team. I
certainly feel a lot more confident than 2 months ago!
Time to go back on chapter 27. But not now. I still have a lot of chores to do that I put on hold because I
was too caught up with this chapter. See ya all!
