Bits of not much
And because I was looking through the doujinshi papers put out by Ono Fuyumi tonight, here's some info that was originally written in there. Some of it might contradict (to a degree) what was later written at the end of one of the manga vols...? Not sure. I haven't gone back and cross-checked. :P

Parts of this is more summary than true snippet. The copy quality's not the best so I can't make out some words. >.>

*****

That said, ugh on what I'm trying to read. >.> Something about how Naru categorises people: as pumpkins or not pumpkins. People deemed as pumpkins are completely and utterly ignored and there are times when he forgets those people exist. When a person's deemed to be a pumpkin, he forgets what they look like as well as what their name is, and when spoken to, he gives only the barest of responses.

People who aren't pumpkins are separated into two groups. Pumpkin people and other. Pumpkin people are like pumpkins but for some particular reason can't be ignored like pumpkins. He remembers these people's names and faces, and when spoken to, he will respond (complete with sarcasm), but they're no more than that. And if they're not in front of him, he forgets they exist.

The 'others' are teachers and the weak. Teachers are those who he sees as having more knowledge than he and has something that they can teach him. To them, he's a model student, but if he decides that they no longer have anything to teach him, they might fall to pumpkin level. The weak are just that. Despite how he seems, Naru's actually quite the champion for justice. He is after all, an English gentleman. However, when they're not in front of him, he'll forget about them, too.

And there are a very few people who don't fit into this category.

It's not that he necessarily likes them. Most likely Naru doesn't feel that way about anyone. But they're people he can't ignore and forget. These people are forgiven for most things. If they say foolish things, he won't abandon them, and if they do something he doesn't like, he'll put up with it. If he says no, when pushed, he'll give in.

There's no way to determine who will fall into this group. Mostly likely, even he doesn't know why he can't ignore them, so it's impossible to determine who will become part of this group. However, it's easy to see who's in the group. If they say something completely foolish but aren't ignored, they're in that group. Alternatively, if the person were to hug him and not be pushed away, they're in that group.

Shortly after Martin and Luella adopted the twins, the two new parents couldn't help wondering if Naru didn't like them. So Gene told them that if they kissed Naru and he didn't slap them, he didn't hate them. If he hated it, he'd make how he felt clear. While he might not care for it, he didn't hate it so much as to eliminate them from his mind. So while he might not look happy about things, he'll put up with it.

While Naru won't let people into this group, once they're there, he's very weak against them. So Gene calls that group the 'inner group'. There aren't many people in that group: Gene, Luella, Martin, the psychologist and psychoanalyst Dr. Hinels (sp?), sleight of hand master and ventriloquist Jan Viani (sp??), and head of research Madoka. Gene didn't know whether co-worker Lin was in that group or not. Lin wasn't the type to say foolish things or to seek skin-ship.

While he could find out if he scanned Naru's mind, after reaching a certain age, Naru doesn't let him deep into his mind anymore. Regardless how much he might beg, Naru wasn't going to release his consciousness, and were Gene to do so forcefully, while he'd get angry, Naru would allow it, but ability-wise Gene could no longer force his way in like that.

[* refers to an earlier part where, when they were young, Naru and Gene could chat to one another over very great distances (with the Atlantic Ocean between them), but lately, that distance has shrunk and they now needed to be within the same country. Likewise, they could no longer force the door open and enter the other's mind. Apparently, Luella can tell when the two twins are chatting, but they don't know how/why she can tell.

L: You two chat when you're up to no good.

?: Not at all.

Naru looked away. Luella placed his plate before him.

L: And Naru looks away like that when things aren't going in his favour.

]

Gene's categorisation of people is in a way very simple: either he likes them or hates them. Normally, as long as he doesn't hate them, they fall into the 'like' category. Generally speaking, he likes people. Even so, he can't just accept being asked major things like Naru's (request to take his place). Things he doesn't like, he doesn't like. So it might be Gene is the more complicated.

Whoops. Getting late. ^^;

kagedreams.livejournal.com/183992.html

And more little bits
Continued translated? summarised? bits from Issue #1 (where the pumpkins came from). The chara info was from Issue #4. ^^;

Actually I'm going to backtrack to the start of this story. IIRC, this story (untitled) is later titled "Gene" in Ono Fuyumi's collective doujinshi 中庭同盟. It's an everyday life story of Noll's and Gene's.


"Gene, are you up?"
Gene shot upright in bed at the sound of that voice. He'd turned off his alarm clock and had been snoozing.
"I'm up."
His bedroom door opened, and Luella poked her head inside.
"So you were asleep."
"I'll get up. Where's Noll?"
"Unlike someone, Noll doesn't sleep in."
"Yeah."
Gene jumped out of bed and quickly got dressed. There was no need to get out of his pyjamas. He'd been up late the night before and had only stripped out of his clothes before climbing into bed.
He grabbed his bag and started stuffing his books inside. Most of his books were in his locker at school, but sometimes he needed to bring some home. Hunting things down from the mess on his desk takes time. Rummaging through the mess to find what was still missing only resulted in more chaos on his desk. Shoving the things that had fallen to the floor aside with his foot, Gene ran out to the hall and down the stairs. Mornings were always very quick for Gene.
"How do you want your eggs?"
Everyone was already in the dining room by the time Gene came down. Gene popped into the kitchen at Luella's question and glanced over the breakfast she'd prepared before deciding.
"Fried, over-easy."
He gave her a quick good-morning kiss.
"Good morning."
"Good morning, sleepy-head. How about cleaning your room a little?"
"I'll do it on Saturday."
"Without getting Noll to help."
"Okay."
He gave a quick salute before heading for his own seat. On his way, he kissed Martin and Noll as well. Noll would hate it, so in his case, it was to bug him a bit.
Martin was reading the paper. He was still in his dressing gown, so his class probably wasn't until later.
Seeing that, Gene 'knocked'. It was up to Noll if he replied. The 'door' as Gene called it, opened.
"What're your plans for today?"
There was a response to his question. Actually, it's closer to catching a thought that floats to the surface from a sea of thoughts and becoming the other person's thought.
"I'm going to Prof. Hinels."
"Which period?"
"Second. I need you to take my place."
"Okay. Have they caught up yet?**
"I've skipped for the past three weeks, so it'll be getting risky soon."
Noll often skipped classes. He'd skip and sneak into university classes or to the specialists (researchers?) office. His attendance record was always borderline--borderline with Gene taking his place from time to time, so in reality his attendance was even worse.
"Okay."
A plate was placed before Gene as he replied.
"Chatting again?"
They called their telepathic conversations chatting. When they were small, they were able to chat with the Atlantic Ocean between them, but lately, that distance had begun to shrink, and it was difficult to do if they weren't in the same country. They could no longer force the door open and enter the other's thoughts either. Their psychic abilities had started to wane, but that was probably just as well.
"Ahaha"
Apparently, Luella was the only one able to tell when the two were chatting. Even she didn't know why. Not to mention that not many people knew about their chat ability.
Since it only worked between the two of them, they hadn't experimented with or studied the ability much. As long as it was between family members, they could discuss anything regardless of how difficult the subject may be, but with anyone other than their twin, they couldn't even manage guessing one ESP card. Most likely, the channel between them was so strong because they were twins, so Luella told them not to talk about it too much. Luella didn't like the twins being human guinea pigs.
"You two chat when you're up to good."
"Not at all."
Luella lay a plate in front of Noll as well.
"And Noll looks away like that when things aren't going his way."
"Twins."
Martin put away his newspaper.
"You shouldn't skip. You especially, Noll."
"What are you talking about?"
"I got a call from your school about your being sickly and whether we'd taken you to see a doctor."
Gene ducked his head while Noll looked away.
"They exaggerate."
Oh? Martin's eyes widened.
"Apparently, an unusual guest has been showing up in Timothy's classes lately."
Like Martin, Timothy Grey was an instructor at Queen's College. He taught physics, specifically quantum mechanics.
"Really?"
"You need to be more aware of how much you stand out."
Noll continued to stare off to one side.
"You're reply?"
"Yes, father."
Martin smiled wryly. Normally, they didn't use 'father' or 'mother', so when they did, they were making their dissatisfaction known.
The sound of Gene's laughter brought him under fire.
"You too, Gene. Don't help him."
"Yes, father."
Sheesh. Martin smiled wryly. Ultimately, he was soft on those two.
"There's no need to rush like that. Once you get your GCE*, you can enter university, right? You've got the marks to get accepted."
"I know."
The GCE exams are this winter. If he could have taken them earlier, he probably would have done so, but apparently doing his A-levels without attending second semester was difficult even for Naru. Not to mention getting into Cambridge required having two A-levels. Apparently, he's been studying hard, and lately, he always had a textbook open in front of him.
Gene had no intention of hurrying that much. He intended to attend middle school and graduate like normal, and think about things at that time. Rushing ahead towards his goal was Noll's way. Taking things as they came and deciding what to do then was Gene's. They really were different.
"Don't push yourself too hard."
Luella pat Noll lightly on the cheek.
"You were up late last night, weren't you?"
"Not really."
"Your light was on when I woke up at 3. You should sleep eight hours a night or your body won't be able to keep up."
"I'll be careful."
Noll wasn't comfortable with physical contact. It was strange how uncomfortable he was with it. He could extremely coldly reject people he could ignore, but it really put him on the spot when it came to people he couldn't ignore. That's why they were so physical with Noll. It was one of the things Gene and Madoka did to tease him. And maybe even his parents were doing the same.
And after that, we enter the discussion of pumpkins. :P Sheesh, I must be hard-wired to type "Naru". :P I think I had to replace just about every last one of them. ^^;

kagedreams.livejournal.com/184169.html

Melting, melting, melted...
Would someone please turn off the heat wave?? >.<;; I guess I should be grateful that we don't have high humidity here. :P
Anyhow, still more bad twins below the cut. :P

Близнецы))))) такие близнецы^____________^

Gene hurriedly drank the rest of his tea when Noll got up from his seat.
"We're off."
"Take care. Don't skip your classes, Noll."
Noll grimaced slightly.
"If you have time to skip class, then take a nap."
"I'll consider it."
Noll seemed to smile wryly. In the end, their parents were really very soft.
"--and? What're you going to do?"
Noll promptly answered Gene's question as they walked to school.
"I'll skip, of course."
"I figured as much."
No doubt, if Martin had been firm and ordered Noll not to skip, Noll would probably have sighed and done as he was told. But it might be because Martin wasn't the type of person to say that sort of thing that made him part of the inner group.
Their school was around 15 minutes walk from their home. Gene didn't know if it was from the school's own policy, but in the five years they'd been going there, he and Noll had yet to be in the same class. For various reasons and since they took different classes, it was rare for the two of them to run into each other during class.
Gene took his first period class as usual, and ran to the locker room before second period. They swapped clothes there, although that usually only involved swapping shirts or jackets. People's memories were pretty unreliable so that was enough.
"See ya."
"Okay."
Gene waved as Noll left through the locker room window. He took a deep breath. He grabbed Noll's Religious Studies text from Noll's locker. The names of the students who'd borrowed the text over the years was listed on the inside cover of the text. Text books were lent out by the school and had to be returned at the end of the course. At the end of the list was Noll's name. If Noll ended up getting more than two A-levels while still doing his GCE, he'd be the most gifted student since the school was founded (there was one previous student), and no doubt new students needing a text for this class would fight over this one.
[Goes into class stuffs Gene's subjected to while standing in for Noll. Of note, the teacher calls Noll 'Noll'. Initially Gene has no problems with the questions the teacher asks him, but it eventually gets beyond him and he ends up 'knocking' on Noll's 'door' for the answers. Noll's among the top students in the school and his classes were likewise difficult.]
Gene was also smart, but he didn't like studying as much as Noll did. Not that Noll necessarily liked studying; he wanted to hurry up and finish the necessary studies in order to be able to do the research he wanted to do. In Gene's case, there were many things he wanted to do other than study including having lunch with girls or going to movies or concerts.
Gene was particularly weak at religious studies. Because he dealt with spirits, Gene couldn't help thinking 'who cares about Christ'. And certainly, there wasn't a heaven or hell. Gene just didn't have any interest in the subject, and if he wasn't interested in it, he couldn't learn it. Unlike Noll, Gene wasn't good at learning information for information's sake. Likewise, their family wasn't particularly religious. Most English people went to church for weddings and funerals.

After class ended, some students tried to speak to him as they left the classroom, but responding wasn't allowed. Students were all pumpkins.
After second period, they had a slightly longer lunch break. Gene went and waited in the cafeteria. Some students in the same grade tried to speak to him, but he ignored them, too. After a short while, Noll appeared and Gene relaxed a little. There were times when Noll was unable to return when expected and Gene'd have to continue taking Noll's place, but pretending to be Noll for long periods of time was a bit stressful.
"Welcome back."
"Yeah."
"Tea?"
Noll nodded.
Since he was glad Noll was back, Gene bought Noll some tea from the cafeteria.
"Mr. Hope said you were perfect."
"Of course."
Well, it was expected, but Gene couldn't help smiling wryly.
"How's Dr. Hinels?"
"Same as always."
"It wasn't a class, was it? His class is on Fridays at 3P.M."
"A seminar"
"Huh."
As Gene responded, a voice interrupted them.
"Noll."
Turning around, Gene was surprised to see Mr. Hope. Since they hadn't swapped clothes, he didn't allow any expression to show.
"Do you have a moment?"
The question was directed to Gene - Mr. Hope thought is was to Noll - and Gene nodded expressionless.
"How're your exam studies going?"
"Okay."
"It seems like you're studying a lot. From what I saw in class, you should have no problems with religious studies."
"Thank you."
At the bland response, Mr. Hope looked at Noll - Gene to him.
"I take it R. Studies isn't your specialty?"
Noll smiled. He could do it if he wanted to.
"It's not like that."
"You don't seem very interested in it though."
"I'm just not very good at it. Reading the Bible puts me to sleep."
Seeing that smile made Gene want to hold his head - although he didn't show it. Did he really look that silly when he smiled? He'd have to remember to check later.
"Are you not taking the GCE?"
"Not at all."
"Second semester, too?"
"I'll still be here."
"It's such a waste since you're twins."
"I don't like studying like Noll does."
"It could still be useful. I hope you'll consider taking my class next year."
"Ahahaha"
Gene couldn't help feeling taken aback. He'd have to remember to be careful about how he laughed from here on as well.
"Well, hang in there, Noll."
"Yeah."
Gene watched as the teacher left before looking at the person before him.
"Do I really smile like that?"
"You do. Lately in particular."
"R-really..."
The person before him also looked surprised.
"I don't know why you're looking sullen, Noll."
"It's sad how pretending to be you makes me feel like I've become an idiot."
"......I won't sit it for you any more."
Noll smiled--in his usual cynical manner. Gene couldn't help feeling that that smile was much better suited to their looks.
"Shall I tell Luella about your sneaking out at night?"
'......So he knew.' Gene couldn't help thinking to himself. Lately, he'd been sneaking out at night with a friend and practising driving. It was a given that he'd be in trouble if Martin or Luella found out. The twins had promised not to try driving before they finished their mandatory schooling.
Noll tossed the jacket he'd been wearing to Gene and Gene tossed Noll's back.
"What about your next class?"
"I'm safe with that one, so I'll skip and take a nap."
"So you're going to do as Martin told you."
"It's getting a bit rough."
'He doesn't like admitting it,' Gene thought as he put his jacket on.
"Well, in that case... Good night."
Gene quickly kissed Noll on the cheek. 'You froze. Serves you right.'
"Well, I've got class."
He couldn't leave with Noll having one up on him. His having this as a weakness automatically made him the weaker of the two.
Noll looked annoyed as he sighed. As long as he couldn't get used to it, he couldn't win.

[I should probably mention that this is as near as I can tell what's happening in this story. The copy is unfortunately very hard to read, so it's impossible to tell something as simple as whether I'm reading (for example) 慄然,　憤然,　悄然, or　愕然. ......At least I can read the second character and I can make out the radical for the first one... ^^; ]

And that's pretty much everything from the untitled story in Issue #1. ^^;

Part 15 Ch4 summary/translation & Epilogue translation

And the end of the novel~. Yay! There's one more part that I want to jump back in time for. Otherwise, that'll probably be the last of the translation snippets for GH for the next while unless I decide to do a certain scene... or two, in the final story. After that will be Kokumono snippets again. ^^;

Нужно ли мне говорить...? Это последняя глава и эпилог последней новеллы.

The next morning, Ayako asks Mai if she's all right. Ayako and Masako realise that Mai probably woke up in the middle of the night and cried her eyes out. Her eyes were very puffy and she could barely open them. Mai admits that she'd hoped to be able to meet Gene in her dreams last night, but didn't.
Apparently after her conversation with Naru, she talked about everything to Ayako and Masako.
Ayako gives Mai some eye drops to use while Masako gives her a cold towel.
Mai: Hey, great romances in plays about tragedies sound so beautiful in words, but in reality it's quite unseemly, isn't it?
Masako? Ayako?: What are you doing speaking such nonsense? Are you planning on spending the day looking like that?
Ayako decides to make breakfast over with the guys so that Mai can make herself more presentable. She tells Mai she'll bring her breakfast down later and leaves the cabin.
Mai: Hey Masako"
Masako: "What is it"
"I thought this yesterday too, but you still have a chance, you know?"
I heard a light sigh.
"Just what are you saying...... There's no need to worry. I thought so myself, too."
"Hmm..."
"All I have to do is go to see him. It's not like I can't buy a plane ticket. Although the bigger question is whether he'd see me if I went to see him."
"It'll be fine."
"I wonder."
"Yeah. Up until now... I'm sure Naru couldn't spare anything for his feelings. He was completely caught up in searching for Gene."
"It'd be nice if that were the case......"
Yeah. True there's still some uncertainty.
"I'm telling you, there's still hope. A long time ago, you'd take Naru's arm, right? He didn't shake you off, so I'm sure that must mean something."
I heard Masako sigh.
"I think that's different."
"By 'different'?"
"It seems that's just Naru's personality."
"Huh?"
"It seems he's extremely uncomfortable having someone cling to him like that."......Hmm
"I think he can't figure out what to do. The first time I took his arm, he froze for about a minute."
I sat up. The towel fell and I looked at Masako.
"......Really?"
A minute... would mean it's real.
"Really."
"......Huh. But you often go and take his arm, right?"
Masako looked away miffed.
"I thought I was being a bit shameless myself, but he didn't understand in the least."
"Ahh, I see."
"I realised he was uncomfortable with it. Otherwise I did it a bit to bug him."
"That sort of warped manner of showing your interest isn't good."
"I know that. I haven't done it lately, right?"
"Good girl. Hang in there. If you don't hurry, I'll re-enter the war."
"Be my guest."
Whoa. Such confidence.
"I wonder if it'd be okay to become serious...? Any way you look at things, they do look the same."
"I won't let him go to someone with that sort of motive."
"Ahahaha."
"If you intend to re-enter the war, you should do something about your face first."
She pressed the towel up against my eyes again.
"'Kay~"
"I'm going to go help out over there, so you make sure to cool things. If you end up crying again, you'll be quite the sight to behold. Your base is your base after all."
"You be quiet. Any way you look at things, I'm not as pretty as you."
"My, what are you doing stating the obvious at this point in time?"
"Why you--"
I took the towel away from my eyes and thought about hitting her, but she was already out of striking range.
"Good night."
I waved a hand at that beautiful face.
"Yes, yes. Good night."
......I'm okay. I won't cry.
While there might not be any greater parting than this, it's not like my feelings were denied either. I expect I'll be depressed for a while, but I will get over it.
It hurts right now, it really hurts right now, but that can't be helped--because people can't always be happy-go-lucky. No doubt everyone has these sorts of painful experiences, and I think they managed to get over them. No doubt that's what life's about.
......Although my saying that might be a bit cheeky.
"I wonder what it was he wanted to tell me......"
That's the one thing that bothered me.
Gene's words that last time I saw him.
--There's something I wanted to tell you, but......
It's not like all the mysteries have been revealed. That might also be life.
________________________________________

Epilogue
If there are people who are leaving, in Japan, it's typical to hold something like a farewell party.
I don't remember who in the bungalow came up with the idea of a farewell party. But I do remember everyone quickly agreeing to it. To be frank the two who are being seen off hate festive to-do's. So this is a very affectionate something to bug them.
Normally they're not the sort of people we'd be able to make attend something like a farewell party, but this time we have Mori-san on our side, so our side's strong.
The day after he was found, his body was returned from the police, cremated, and his remains sent back to his home country. Naru's parents went on ahead returning to their country, and Naru, Lin-san and Mori-san were to follow soon after.
--On that day. We decided to hold the farewell party before those three set off for Narita.
I headed for Shinjuku quite a bit earlier than the specified time. The official reason being because I had a number of things I wanted to ask Mori-san. In truth, my ulterior motive was just because I wanted to see what sort of place secretive Naru-chan had lived in all this time.
The West exit side of Shinjuku was lined with high rises. In other words the city-centre. The place I was aiming for was a hotel ther and the place we'll be holding the party. I phoned from near the government buildings and asked Mori-san if it'd be okay to come see her. She said "let's have tea until the party" and I was half nervous and half excited as I headed for the luxury hotel's entrance.

When I looked in to the specified tea room, Mori-san looked up from where she was seated near the front.
"Hello~"
"Hello. Have you finished getting everything together for your departure?"
"Yeah. Not to mention I don't have much luggage."
"I'm sorry, bothering you at such a busy time. It wasn't anything major, I was just really curious about this place"
Mori-san laughed when I said that as we placed our order.
"You're very open."
"Eheheheh. --Where are Naru and Lin-san?"
"They're probably still packing since there's still some time."
"They sound busy--"
After all, we only got back from Nagano yesterday. They probably haven't even had time to sleep.
"For now, they'll send what they can, and if they can't get everything packed, they'll take care of sending everything else later."
"Will they be coming back?"
Mori-san cocked her head.
"Hmm--. Most likely I'll be the only one coming back."
"Huh... I wonder what I should do then. I guess it wouldn't do to wait until then."
"What is it?"
"I want to know Naru's and Lin-san's addresses. I thought it'd be nice to be able to write them."
"Ah, I see."
"If I can't get them to tell me their address, I was thinking maybe if I could learn the address of the lab instead. If I have that, I can send them letters, right?
Mori-san smiled.
"I don't think they won't. Why don't you ask them?"
"I wonder if it'll be all right--"
"I'm sure it'll be fine. It's not like they're actually secretive in principle. --Although I think it's best not to expect any response."
"No doubt."
I sighed. Mori-san smiled wryly,
"Lin-san's quite conscientious so he'll probably at least reply. ......But Naru......"
Well, I did know that.
"Come to think of it, have you heard what'll happen with the office? I haven't returned the key yet......"
The office hasn't opened at all. For now it's remained closed. I have some personal things there, but haven't had a chance to go get them.
"If there's something you want to know about, ask that person. Whatever they don't tell you, I'll tell you later."
Mori-san said that with a smile and pointed upwards.
"Off you go. Room 3212"
I followed Mori-san finger and looked up at the ceiling.
"......I wonder if it's okay for me to go"
I just get the feeling they'll be hard on me.
"If you hold back, you lose."
Mori-san said that and smiled.
"Hmm......"
"The trick to getting along with Naru is to be assertive. That child doesn't try to interact with people from his side, so if you hold back that tie will end up breaking."
"But if I don't it seems like he'll yell at me."
"There's actually not too much risk of that. He doesn't necessarily get angry when people gather at the office, right?"
......Ah, come to think of it...
"He gets in a bad mood, but I don't think he's actually gotten angry."
"Don't worry if he gets to be in a bit of a bad mood. If you watch his mood, you lose. If he really gets angry, he'll be very flat with you, so you're still safe if he's being sarcastic."
"Huh..."
"So the one who's being assertive wins. If he complains, ignore it. If he's sarcastic, don't worry about it. If you do that, you'll be able to get along with him."
"As long as we keep relations with him?"
When I asked that, Mori-san laughed.
"Right. As long as we intend to keep dealing with him."
"I see."
"Naru seems to have a really strong shell, but at the very end he gives in pretty easily."
......She might have a point.
"Come to think of it, I can win fights a fair bit. As long as I don't give in."
"You see?"
I looked upwards.
"In that case, maybe I'll try being assertive."
Mori-san smiled.
"Good luck."

After a long elevator ride, I went along a hallway unique to hotels. I took a deep breath in front of room 3212. Any way you look at it, pressing the doorbell for that room needs as much courage as sticking your finger in a tiger's cage.
A chime rang inside, and the door opened immediately. When Naru saw me there, he looked at his watch.
"Is it that time already?"
"Nope. There's still a fair amount of time left. I wanted to ask some things and met with Mori-san, and she told me to ask you."
Naru frowned slightly in annoyance.
"Can you do that later?"
......his guard for private things is strong, after all.
"So......"
Disappointment. ......ah, but giving in's bad, right?
"Can I help with something?"
"There's no need."
"You should accept other people's generosity more readily."
"If you help out, what needs to be taken care of won't get finished."
"That's not so. I'll be more help than a cat*. Leave it to me."
(*Japanese idiom to borrow even a cat's paw when you're short staffed; ie. use any and everyone possible regardless how useful they'd be).
"Like I said, there's no need."
"When you can take things easier, you should do so. There are some things I wanted to ask you, too. So it makes sense to ask while I help out. Right?"
I imitated Mori-san and smiled brightly.
......and then Naru sighed.
Whooaaaa. I won. I see, this is what I needed to do.
Naru opened the door wide and let me in.
It was a large and neat double room. The curtain were open on the large window and Shinjuku central park could be seen directly below.
I'm sure it was a good room, but it still felt rather stark. Thinking that he lived here for over a year and a half, I couldn't help feeling a bit sorry for him.
"Is Lin-san's room next door?"
"That's right."
There were a number of cardboard boxes made up in the middle of the room.
"Could you pack my clothes? Just fold them in there."
"Okay."
He pointed to the open closet that had been half packed away. I couldn't help smiling a little at the sight of seeing nothing but black clothes hanging there. Naru was packing away the files on the desk.
"Your home's in Cambridge, huh?"
"Yeah."
"Can I have your address?"
"What do you want it for?"
"So I can write to you. Why else?"
Be assertive. Be assertive.
"......can you address it in English?"
What was that--?!
"I can do that much"
"I underestimated you."
He really is uncute.
Man, it's too bad. If Gene were alive and if by chance we ended up getting married, I'd have been this guy's sister.
"Your father teaches at Cambridge, right?"
"What about it?"
"What's he teach?"
"Does knowing that have anything to do with you?"
"Of course it does."
"Oh?"
"It'll satisfy my curiosity."
Naru sighed deeply again.
"......law."
Naru smiled wryly after saying that.
"Also parapsychology."
"Huh... Outside the "SPR"?"
"The SPR" is like an academic society. While it came to manage a research lab four years ago, he's not a research member."
Hmm... I don't really follow.
"You're a research member, right?"
"Right."
"In Mori-san's lab. A fieldwork lab?"
"If you already know, then don't ask."
......Hmph
"Hey, what's fieldwork?"
Naru looked at me in contempt.
"You really don't know anything, do you?"
That's none of your concern.
"Actually going on site and gathering information. Investigating haunted houses. It's virtually no different from what we've been doing."
"Huh..."
"After sending videos and data, the rest is another team's work. For example the video analysis team.　　After that the analysed data is then organised and integrated into existing theory-that's another specialised team's work. For what it's worth."
"For what it's worth?"
"I'm really a member on the theoretical side. Lin's specialty is originally in technical."
"Then why...?"
Did they come to work together in distant Japan?
"Madoka's the chief of fieldwork. And when she scrounged together all the people who could speak Japanese, this is how things ended up."
"Ah, I see."
It might just be like her.
When I indicated that I'd finished packing the clothes in the box, Naru tossed the packing tape to me. I caught that and sealed the box.
"......And?"
"And?"
"What're you going to do when you get back?"
Naru shrugged.
"Hold a funeral."
Who's asking about something that immediate in the future?
"I don't mean like that. You're a research member for the "SPR", right? Are you going to continue ghost hunting at the lab?"
"Naturally, that's what I intend."
"What're you going to do about the office? For what it's worth, I brought Taka's key as well."
"You can hang onto that."
--Eh?
I looked at Naru.
"Madoka will be coming back shortly."
"You mean the office is staying?!"
"Aren't you lucky not to lose your job?"
Yeah. --Or rather...
"What changed your mind?"
He'd said he was going to close it.
"A change in circumstances. Approval's been granted to keep the office."
Wow.
"But you won't be coming back, right?"
"I'm the one who put in the request?"
"And again, why?"
"Japanese spirit manifestations are interesting."
"......Really?"
"I think there might be something that makes conditions here good for spirit manifestations. That's why I put in the request to maintain the office."
......He really is a workaholic.
"But what're you going to do about uni?"
"I've been thinking about that. I could withdraw, or I could apply to study abroad."
"In that case, you won't be able to come back soon."
Naru smiled wryly.
"It won't be possible for a while."
It really won't be......
"All the other things aside, my parents probably wouldn't like it. So I'll have to stay with them for a while."
"No doubt."
The remaining half of the twins they had. It's unlikely they'd leave him in such a distant country like this indefinitely.
"Umm, I heard they're not your real parents......"
"Right. I'm adopted."
"I heard you were orphans."
When I said that, Naru raised an eyebrow slightly.
"The same as you."
......you're kidding.
"Hey, is that maybe why you hired me?"
"What's the saying? People in similar classes should help one another out?"
"People in similar situations should help one another out."
"I'd heard from your school principal that you were an orphan. Although I thought your living conditions were much worse."
"Were yours bad?"
"The orphanage? It was bad. Not to mention I was a problem child."
......undoubtedly.
"I see. ......Thank you. It really helped, truth to be told."
"That's good. --In any case, there was a lot of money left in the budget. And we really were short-staffed."
Whoa...
"The "SPR" has a lot of money."
"Not really in the research labs. I'm special."
"Huh...?"
"A certain individual's giving 100 000 pounds per year in a research grant."
"Hmm. How much is 100 000 pounds?"
"One pound's about 230 yen. Don't you even know that much?"
Dollars are one thing; most people wouldn't know for the pound.
"In other words $150 000 USD."
"One dollar's about 160 yen, right?"
Heheh, I know that much.
"That's right. ......And?"
"So $150 000 would be......"
Ummm, is there no paper? Paper?
"Y24 000 000. You really are dumb, aren't you?"
"Shut up."
After I said that, I felt the blood rush away; the pain of being a poor citizen."
"Twenty-four million... yen?!"
"It's not that much."
"It is so"
"It'd be used up in buying just one camera."
"Your concept of monetary value is exceptional."
"Its use is at my own discretion, and it's not like it makes for living expenses."
"Well... yeah..."
Saying that I looked around the room.
"What about the expenses to stay here?"
"It's being covered by those who view me favourably."
"I want to see the faces of people who'd squander favour on you."
"There are some people who are good at judging things."
"You fraud."
"If I tried, I might be able to get twice what I do now."
I couldn't help sighing; he'd said that in an oddly serious manner.

We finished packing by the time of the party, and when we got to the small room in the hotel restaurant, everyone was already there.
"Mai~. I heard."
Ayako waved her hand.
"Hmm?"
"They're keeping the office~?"
"Yeah, they are~."
"Isn't that great~. You don't have to worry about your living expenses."
"Aren't you lucky. Not having me leech off you."
"I'm not so poor that having some commoner like you leech off me would hurt me financially."
......Huh. You said it. Watch me leech off you then--.
Mori-san handed me a glass,
"I'll be the acting manager for the next while. Let's do our best."
"Yeah. Let's."
Heheheh. It's going to be a friendly workplace for the next while~.
"What're you going to do, Lin-san?"
Lin-san was expressionless at my question.
"I'll be going back for a while."
"I see. Take care."
"--Thank you."
That's right. There was something I wanted to ask, so I should do it now.
"Umm......, we had a conversation before about how you hate Japanese people, right?"
"We did."
"At that time, you said someone said the same thing I did. Was that Gene?"
Lin-san blinked a moment, then nodded.
"......I see."
It's true. Gene and I do think a little alike. Heheheh. That makes me really happy. While we were at the campground, I heard a lot about him from Mori-san, and came to like him much more than before. While there's no longer any hope, there's no chance of being rejected. So, come to think of it, he might be ideal.
I smiled foolishly and met Naru's look. He looked a little exasperated.
"Wha~t."
"Nothing,"
"You were thinking that I'm such a simpleton just now, weren't you?"
"How well you realised it."
Hmph. No doubt I'm just an amoeba.
"--Ahh, that's right. I almost forgot."
Naru took out a small package from the inside pocket of his jacket.
"Here."
--Hmm?
The thing that was wrapped in a men's handkerchief was business card-sized, a little thick, and hard. When I unwrapped it, I found the picture frame that Naru's mother'd had.
The photo inside was of Naru and... him smiling.
......My chest hurt. I was so happy. And so sad.
"......What's with this?"
Ahh... I don't even have a photo of him. I'd love to have a photo of him, even a group shot.
"Luella forgot it. I don't think it'll bother her if I tell her it got lost?"
"......I can have it?"
Really?
"I threw it away. I don't know what happened to it after that."
What, my hand's a garbage can?
......Well, that's okay. 'Cause I'm really happy.
"Thank you......"
Naru's a pretty good guy, after all~. Eheheheh.
"What're you grinning about?"
Bou-san grabbed me by the nape.
"It's a secret."
It'd be a waste, so hide it.
"Huh. I'd very much like to hear it then."
"Hmm..."
"Go on, say it."
"--Did you know that love continues for as long as you remember the other person?"
Bou-san blinked a moment then grinned.
"You're getting rather cheeky, aren't you?"
"Aren't I?"
The pocket that hid the picture frame was warm.
It's possible to fall in love on one's own, so I won't cry anymore.

Whoa... by the time I finish off the final scene I want to translate, I'll have translated almost half this book. >.> My poor brain.

Спасибо тебе снова kagedreams!
Это обрывочные отрывки из последней новеллы Ghost Hunt. Я постаралась расставить их в хронологической последовательности, хотя сомнительно что мне это полностью удалось.

Part 13 Aug 14th 4PM - 5PM
Someone please tell GH to give me back my brain already! This is getting ridiculous. >.<;; But there are only a few other scenes (hopefully) that I want to write up. I hope. >.>
Oh yeah, this would be one of the major spoiler scenes. This scene happens after Bou-san goes through outlining the mysteries, weirdnesses, and conclusions about Naru. Naru leaves, Lin talks with the others for a bit, and then...

Собсно, как именно Нару узнал, что к Май во сне приходил Джин.

Chapter 1

Outside was, as always, very bright with all that sunshine.
After that, I used the opportunity when Lin followed Naru outside to go for a walk in the forest on my own. Even though it was still so bright, the evening cicadas were starting to sing. Their voices were so lonely it made me feel depressed. I had the feeling that something that'd been bothering me sank in my chest.
I didn't entirely understand what that was and it made me more and more depressed.
......I'm depressed. I wonder why.
I should be more cheerful. After all, I finally found out about something that'd been bothering me for so long.
.....I wonder what's bothering me so much.
I thought that as I wandered through the forest when I saw a figure in front of me. He was there leaning against a tree.
As soon as I saw him, I realised.
I see, I......
"I thought you went to look at the lake," as I spoke to him, those dark eyes that'd been watching me looked away. Perhaps it's because of the light, but it seemed like his expression was a little clouded.
"......That's right," I muttered and walked to where Naru was leaning against the tree.
"I'm sorry. Calling you "Naru-chan" unthinkingly like that all the time."
"Why?"
The eyes that turned to look at me really were very deep.
"That was the name only your older brother called you by, right? I didn't understand the circumstances at all......"
Although Lin-san also called him that now, so it probably wasn't such a private name anymore.
"That's when we were really small."
"Hmm..."
I leaned against the opposite side of the slim tree Naru was leaning against.
"You're a really important person, huh?"
There was no response to my comment.
"Somehow, that feeling of distance, or...... Heheh, no wonder you kept calling me stupid all the time. Compared to you, I really am stupid."
......No doubt this is the reason why I'm down.
"You're going back to England soon, huh?"
That's where his family was and where his life was.
"And you'll be going back to the life you were living before you met us. ......I can't imagine what that life was like at all. After all, the worlds we live in are completely different."
"It's not like that."
"Really? I wonder......"
"Just an idiot scientist after all."
It's the first time Naru ever talked about himself like that so I couldn't helped turning and looking at the person behind me. I could see his back separated by the slim tree.
I soon looked ahead again.
"You're also an orphan, eh?"
"Circumstances were different from yours. ......I had a brother and adoptive parents."
"I see. ......What's your older brother like?"
"Who knows."
......He won't tell me after all, huh?
"I'm glad I ran into you. I wanted to apologise too," as I said that, a quiet voice came from behind.
"I was looking for you."
"Eh?"
"There's something I wanted to tell you, so I was hoping I'd see you."
"......What?"
From behind, I could only hear his voice.
"......We might never see each other again, so there's something I wanted to tell you, but......"
"But?"
"I think I won't......"
You're kidding, I muttered in my mind. Leaving me hanging. Tell me. I turned to look behind when I heard footsteps in the brush. And thanks to that, I unthinkingly looked towards that sound.
"......Huh?"

******

Chapter 2

......What's this????
I felt my mind go blank for a moment. Quickly remembering myself, I turned to look behind. There was no longer anyone there.
--There's no way he'd be there. After all, that person was coming towards me fifteen degree off of straight ahead.
"Huh?"
Exactly as the saying goes, I felt like the fox'd played a trick on me.
"What's wrong?"
The person approaching 15 degrees off of straight ahead stopped.
Black hair and black eyes. A figure all in black.
"......Naru?"
He looked at me questioningly. I'm the one who's confused.
"You're really Naru, right......?"
"What are you saying? Are you awake?"
"Yeah...... I'm not sure."
Why? What happened?
"--Who was it that was here until just a moment ago?"
Naru cocked his head slightly at my murmured words.
"Someone was here?"
I pointed behind me where no one was to be seen any more.
"You. I was talking to you until just now. I'm sure."
That's right. That wasn't a dream. I'm not so capable that I can sleep while standing.
"Right next to me. What... was that?"
"You were out of it."
I became angry at the open contempt in his voice.
"I was not! It was like one of those dreams but that was definitely not a dream!"
"......Those dreams?"
Ah. Oops......!
Naru took one step closer.
"What do you mean?"
Naru's serious expression. I couldn't try to laugh it off.
"I-it's just a dream......"
He took another step closer. If I reached out, I would be able to touch him; that's how little space was between us now. The slim trunk was at my back as always, so it felt like I was being cornered.
"Like I said, what sort?"
"It doesn't concern you."
"It doesn't sound like it doesn't concern me?"
The colour of his eyes was so deep. And on top of that they seemed very forbidding.
"You mean I was there?"
"I-it doesn't concern you, right?"
"I don't see it not concerning me."
"There's no need to pry so much."
"There's no need to hide it so much either,right?"
"I'm not hid--......"
......Argh! I'll tell him already! After all, there's no later for it. I'll feel better for him laughing at me and my hitting him for it.
"Dreams...... about you!"
......I said it......
Even I could tell my face was bright red. And yet, and yet, he just looked confused. This bloody stick-in-the-mud!
"--About me?"
"Yeah. You. They're just my own dreams. Maybe my wishful thinking. Dreams of a nice Naru."
Although the real you isn't the least bit nice, but that's the very sarcastic unspoken comment in there.
"Nice--?"
"Right. You're smiling so gently. And you even speak to me nicely."
There's absolutely no way I'll accept that it's your subconscious.
Naru stared at me wide-eyed.
"......And we were talking until now?"
"That's right. You have a problem with that?"
I wonder why I'm bracing so much for a fight.
"--About what?"
"Nothing much. It was just a daydream. --Naturally, it was a dream. Someone doesn't smile at all, not to mention someone wouldn't take part in pointless conversation. And there's no way you'd be looking for me unless you wanted something done."
I'm completely confessing my feelings, aren't I? Hahahah.
Now go ahead and laugh all you like. My right hand's ready to come flying out to hit you. A brazen, cold-blooded guy like you, no doubt you won't understand my young girl's heart."
"......What do you mean by that?"
It looked like Naru was stunned.
I couldn't help being exasperated by his question.
What did I mean? Isn't it obvious? Why do you think I'd be hiding the fact that he'd been showing up in my dreams up until now?
"Are you stupid?! You don't get it?!"
"I don't understand"
Aaaahhhhh, he pisses me off!
"Yeah, I'm sure! I did know it. That you're a cold-blood guy without blood or tears in you. But even so, isn't it human nature to think that somewhere completely unseen there's a bit of niceness somewhere. What with you always showed up in my dreams, and always smiled, and on top of that always being so nice, like you were actually paying attention to me. No doubt that's all just my own wishful thinking. But even so, having those sorts of dreams, I can't help thinking that maybe deep down you actually do have blood and tears in you. And if that continues, it's a girl's heart to think that maybe your slipping out in spirit to come see me!"
Now--maybe that thick head of yours got it this time.
"......I can't do astral travel."
......Huh?!
"I can't do that. I don't have that ability."
"I know. No doubt, that's the case. It's just my wishful thinking."
"......No."
"If you want to laugh, then why don't you...... Eh?"
I came back to myself. The pale face of the person I was yelling at was bloodless.
"When...... did that start?"
I couldn't help being baffled.
"Since when? You mean the dreams? From the very start......"
"......It's not me."
......Huh?
"That's not me. ......It's Gene......"
Eh?
Who?
He raised his pale hand to his forehead like he was fighting dizziness.
"Eugene......"
"Wr-wrong! It doesn't matter that your brothers, I'd know! That was definitely you!"
"No. It's Gene."
"But!"
There's no way I'd be mistaken. Because it's about Naru.
"We're twins."
......Eh?
"If we were expressionless, no one could tell us apart. --He's my older twin brother."
......B......... but......
"Then...... Gene's still been wandering in this world......"
It looked like Naru's gaze too, was lost in the distance.
******

Chapter 3

"......Older brother? He was?"
But... he's...
--Dead.
In that case.
"That's...... your brother's......"
The various memories cracked falling apart.
--Why didn't I realise it?
When I think about it, it's so simple.
The Naru in my dreams smiles. Real world Naru doesn't.
--They were completely different people.
Their personalities, manners of speech, other than appearance, they were completely different people......!
There were definitely times when I felt like they were different people. And it's only natural. Because they really were different people. I just didn't realise it--
Because they looked the same.
Because they sounded the same.
And so I thought he was Naru.
"I wonder if he had unfinished business...... That must be it."
Naru's low voice was pained.
"......He said we might never see each other again."
Naru looked at me at my quiet comment.
"He said that earlier."
"Yeah. If we find his body......"
Naru closed his mouth after that.
There wasn't anything I could say to him either.
"Mai, there's something I wanted to ask you."
After a while Naru finally spoke.
"......What?"
"There's a time you had a vision of the past where you had your throat cut. Was there anything strange about it then?"
"Something strange?"
Naru looked like he was searching for the right words.
"I did psychometry on some small item in that mansion. A vase or stand, something like that. The vision I had was very similar to that."
"......Eh?"
"Even the fine details, they were virtually identical."
"......How's that possible?"
Naru shook his head slightly.
"I'll change the question a bit. What role did Eugene play in your dreams?"
--Role.
"......I'm not sure, but he once told me he showed me the way to the dreams. Also, advice, and he taught me various things, too. This time your brother also taught me how to enter a trance."
"The method where you concentrate on your breathing and slowly relax your entire body?"
"Yeah."
Naru sighed once.
"What is that idiot doing......"
Idiot. --Even towards his brother, Naru was Naru.
Even if it were only in name, for a medium to lose the way... And here I thought he'd long since gone over.
"I wonder if maybe he was worried about you."
I just had that feeling when I said it.
Naru frowned in disgust.
"I haven't fallen apart so much that he needs to worry about me."
--Meaning--Since he was able to be this guy's brother, without doubt, his brother's personality must have been incredibly wonderful.
"But? What's it mean?"
"In other words, that's why that idiot's presuming to be your guiding spirit. Most likely, you have innate spiritual ability. And he stayed with you expecting to draw out that ability. Sheesh."
If he's being spoken about like this, even his brother wouldn't be able move on.
"That method of entering a trance is also a method Gene often used. Seeing spirits as light, and seeing the surroundings as transparent is also a habit of his. And connecting the line on his own like that."
"Line?"
Naru really looked displeased.
"There was a hot line between Gene and I. A direct link between consciousnesses."
"Telepathy?"
Naru nodded.
"It was completely useless with anyone else though. He relayed that to you. No wonder you ended up seeing the same vision."
......Huh.
"He should hurry up and go over to he other side already."
I could very much understand Naru's feelings on that and decided I'd no longer think of Naru as being cold-hearted. It'd be hard on me too if I found out that Mom or Dad were still here somewhere.
"He must've really been worried about you."
"He's being meddlesome."
"Now, now. With him gone, you no longer have a psychic who can see spirits, right? He managed to guide me into becoming useful."
He's a nice brother, isn't he. If you make light of him, something bad could happen.
"He's meddlesome."
"That sort of thing is called being kind."
"It's also called being stupid."
......Sheesh.
******

Chapter 4

"Why did your brother come to Japan?"
For a moment I wondered if he might not answer my question.
"He was asked to summon a spirit. Since there are old-style mediums throughout the different areas, he was also going to look into those."
"Huh......"
While it's a little late to realise it, his brother was a medium then. Not to mention a famous one.
"So your brother was also doing that sort of research."
"Yeah."
"Did you ghost hunt together?"
"We did."
"I see......"
It must have been frustrating for Naru on the investigations. Thinking "if his brother were there". After all, there are times when Masako can't see anything, and I'm a useless psychic. His brother would've been able to immediately grasp the situation and if there were any need, could get the other spirits to move on--.
I thought about the method he taught me to get spirits to move on. He dismissed it as "simple" so he must've been very kind and warm right to the core.
......And he died.

Even now, he's sleeping somewhere below the dam.
"Your brother...... um, how did you know he was here? Psychometry?"
Naru nodded.
"Is that absolute? It's never wrong?"
"Probably."
"......Would it be okay to ask how he died?"
Naru fell silent thinking. And then, "It was around halfway through his scheduled itinerary after Gene left for Japan. I borrowed some of his clothes when I suddenly synched with him."
"Synched?"
"When you end up seeing things as the person in your vision when doing psychometry."
"You mean like the dream that time?"
"Right."
Going through that countless times would be horrible. No wonder people would hate to do psychometry.
"All of a sudden? You didn't try to synch with him or anything?"
"That sort of intent isn't always necessary. Although breaking it requires will."
"Huh......"
"The first thing I saw was a mountain, I think. A mountain in the afternoon, a road, and walking along that, I could hear a car approaching from behind. Turning around, I could see the car rounding the corner skid to the outside. It ran straight towards me, there was an impact, and then collapse. Lying there on the asphalt, a person came out of the car."
"......Okay."
"It was a woman. Although I could only see from the knees down. She panicked, and after screaming, went back to her car. I soon heard the sound of the car moving again, and that came closer from behind......"
I choked back something sour. From that, that woman must have finished Gene off. Definitely...... you could say, he'd been killed......
"After that, the vision went green. That's what happens when the person in the vision dies. He was dragged along the ground and thrown into the trunk of the car. He was wrapped into a silver sheet somewhere that looked like a garage. And that was then thrown into a lake from a boat--."
"That's horrible......"
"Getting into an accident in the first place was careless and stupid."
......He's talking like that again..... Honestly--.
"I hope you find him soon."
No doubt that's why he's been wandering about. Being this far away and never able to see his family again. Being all alone at the bottom of the cold lake.
......He probably wants to go home soon. To the place where he belongs.
Naru started to say something. Started to say something, but in the end he closed his mouth, and sighed instead.
It was then that I heard a voice from the distance.
"Geez, is this where you were?"
That was a woman's voice, but it wasn't Ayako, it wasn't Masako, but it was a voice that I definitely remembered hearing before.
Turning around, I could see a woman waving her arm in among the trees.
......That person.
"My, Taniyama-san. How've you been?"
I remembered that bright smile.
The strange acquaintance of Lin-san's and Naru's that I'd met before.
"Madoka."
"......Mori-san?!"

Part 14 August 14th 5 PM-6 PM (Ch 1 & 2)
More GH still. Honest I'll be getting over this soon. I've come down a fair ways already, so it's a matter of finishing off the bits and pieces and pieces and pieces that are waiting to be tied-up. ^^;

Здесь Мадока и Май разговаривают о прошлом Нару и Джина.

Chapter 1
What was Mori-san doing in a place like this?
I quickly realised why. I brazenly followed after Naru, who quickly trotted over towards Mori-san, when I noticed three figures a little further away from her.
--That's...
Two people talking to Lin-san. A middle-aged man and woman. Not to mention--
Th-they're foreigners.
--Why are there foreigners here?
I sort of had the feeling I knew why and was soon sure. Naru went straight to where they were.
The woman hugged Naru. The man put his arm around his shoulders...
I knew very well who would be able to do something like that so easily.
"Long time no see." At some point, Mori-san came over to where I was.
"It's been a while. --Mori-san, are those people Naru's mother and father......?"
Mori-san smiled gently and looked at Lin-san, who at some point came over and joined us.
"--Would it be okay to introduce them?"
Lin nodded in response to her question.
"I see. I'll introduce them. A little later."
I see. That comment Lin-san made about "they'll leave there shortly" was about Naru's parents.
I had no idea how long the trip from England to Japan took. Even so, it must've been a most difficult journey. The place where their son disappeared and his body probably lay. The reunion with their other son who normally wouldn't have ended up living in such a distant, foreign country.
"Is everyone well?"
"Yes."
"I see. In that case I think I'll go say hello."
Mori-san shot a quick glance to the side, and I looked the same way. It seemed his mother was crying.
"Let's not disturb them?"
"You're right."

When I got back to the bungalow with Mori-san, everyone was still lounging about there.
"Mori-san."
"My."
"Long time no see."
Mori-san smiled at everyone's greetings and for a while, she exchanged greetings with everyone.
"What brings you here all of a sudden again?"
When Bou-san asked that, she explained how she'd brought Naru's parents. Ignoring the others who were chatting animatedly, I pulled Masako to one side.
"Hey, hey."
"What is it?"
"There was a time when you'd been captured and Naru came and cheered you up, right?"
Masako looked around a moment before lowering her voice. "Yes. What about it?"
"That wasn't Naru. Did you know that?"
"It was Naru."
"It wasn't. Apparently it was his older brother."
"That's not possible. After all, it was Naru."
Yeah, I understood how she felt saying that.

"It wasn't. It was his older brother. ......his twin."
"Twin?!"
Masako exclaimed and all conversation behind her instantly stopped.
"Who're twins?" Yasuhara-san asked.
Mori-san laughed, "Ahh, Naru and Gene, eh?"
"By older brother, it's his older twin brother?"
"That's right. They're identical twins."
"Whoa..." Yasuhara-san muttered, "......There were two of those faces?! That must've been quite the sight."
T-true.
"Even though they're twins, there are some twins that don't look very similar, right?"
Mor-san laughed lightly at Ayako's comment.
"They were similar. Often when you line twins up next to one another, they don't look that alike, but those two were really very similar. I think it's quite unusual for twins to look that alike."
I wonder what it's like to have a twin. I wasn't really sure, but I had the feeling that they'd be even closer than regular siblings.
"I wonder if Naru's personality became like that...... because of his brother's death."
I could sort of understand if that were the case, but......
"Nope." Mori-san had a slightly surprised look on her face. "Naru's always been like that."......Gah.
"Always been like that? Not because of some dark past that he's been dragging along and has become embittered towards the world?"
"I don't think so. Naru's been like that since he was a child. Gene said that, so I expect it's true."
......Yikes.
Mori-san stared at the ceiling as though lost in thought.
"True, ......twins being so similar on the outside are quite rare, but I expect siblings whose personalities are so different are also quite rare."
"By "different"......"
"Complete opposites."
Eeyikes. One side's like that, so the opposite of that.
Very kind and friendly, gentle and modest......
"L-like an angel?"
"Not like that either."
Mori-san laughed.
"......Actually, he probably had a pretty normal personality. But because his other half was like that, he seemed to be very well-raised."
Well, yeah, no doubt.
"Unlike Naru, he was the cheerful type. And he got along well with others."
Uh huh.
"He was also a bit mischievous."
"He'd often trade places with Naru and play tricks on people. Naru doesn't play around like that, so most likely Gene's the one who came up with the idea."
"......Th-that's quite the unexpected personality."
To think of someone with the same face as Naru doing something like that...... my head hurt.
"He was just a little like you, Taniyama-san." Mori-san said with a warm smile.
......Eh?
"Like me?"
"Yeah. Although he seemed a bit quieter."
I'm sorry. I'm a noisy one.
"Lin-san also said so. That you're similar."
"......Huh..."
"You quickly feel for the clients, right, Taniyama-san? You get caught up with those involved and laugh or cry with them?"
......Umm, that's what I'm like.
"That aspect is similar. So everyone opened their hearts to him......"
"Doesn't that make him perfect then?"
Yasuhara-san said that.
"With those looks along with a good personality, he had nothing to fear."
Mori-san smiled a bit wryly.
"That sort of child is unlikely to live long...... It's just the way things are."
A lonely silence fell. The sun quickly sank and everything in the room fell into shadow.
________________________________________

Chapter 2

"No doubt, regardless of what they said, they must've been very close."
I didn't say that to anyone in particular, but Mori-san smiled wryly.
"Hmmm... I wonder about that. True the one closest to Naru was Gene."
"What about sibling fighting?"
"On occasion. Although it was mostly one-sided with Naru getting angry."
Oh dear.
"......Yeah, I guess Naru wasn't very comfortable with Gene."
"Even though they're brothers?"
"Yeah. Basically, Naru doesn't like getting involved with others. I expect he's the type who prefers to be left alone regardless if the other person's his sibling or parent. He's happiest when doing research and sees everything else as a bother."
Hmmm...
"But while outsiders might leave you alone, that doesn't work with family, right? If you're looking sick, they'll worry, or if you do something wrong, they'll scold you, right?"
"It'd be over if you told them it's none of their business, wouldn't it?"
"Yeah, but that doesn't really go for family. After all, you see them every day. If they're unrelated, it's just a matter of cutting ties, but you can't really do that with family."
......Well yeah.
"So if Gene hated Naru, they would've just ended up being brothers who didn't get along well, but Gene was the type of person no one hated."
"Huh......"
"--So, to be honest, I was surprised when Naru said he'd go search for Gene's body. I didn't expect him to do that."
Making Mori-san say that much, that young man must've been very staunch.
"When did he come to Japan?"
"Around three months before Taniyama-san started working part time. Somewhere around there."
"Umm, how do you know Naru, Mori-san?"
Clenched fists...
Mori-san looked at me.
"Background check?"
"Yep. This time I admit it completely."
When I said that Mori-san laughed out loud lightly.
"I'm, well yeah, to put it plainly, I'm his superior."
H-his superior?!
Bou-san leaned forward.
"Y-you mean at the "SPR"?
"Yes. There's what's known as the Platt Lab at the "SPR". I'm the head of the fieldwork lab. For what it's worth."
Whoaaa.
"So Naru's a research member there?"
"That's right. Naru and Lin."
And saying that, a mixed smiled crossed Mori-san's face.
"And Eugene."
......So that's how it was.
"And that's why you were his master."
"That's right, in the past." I taught him from how to use the cameras, but at some point he surpassed me. Thanks to that, my work now is to gather together all the documents Naru sends me and present it to higher-ups."
"Huh..."
If she was his master and is his superior, no wonder he can't outdo her. Neither Naru nor Lin.
"Is Lin-san's home also in England? Not Hong Kong?"
"That's right. Lin's family is one of the ones that fled Hong Kong. Apparently, his extended family's always been in England, and Lin's family was the only one that'd stayed behind. Because his family's always been a bit obstinate."
"Obstinate?"
"They hate the Japanese, and they hate the British."
Hmm... I'd heard that he hated Japanese people, but that he also hates the British. I wonder if he's dragging along the grudge over the opium wars? ......But still, poor Lin-san--ending up living in countries he hates.
"London, then?"
......So I ask, but I don't know that many place names in England.
"Lin's family is. But Lin himself lives in Cambridge."
I had no idea where that was or what sort of place it was.
"Isn't the "SPR" in London?"
Bou-san butt in, and Mori-san nodded.
"That's right. Headquarters are in London. The lab is in Cambridge. Lin's a research member in the lab in Cambridge and also a grad student at Cambridge University."
"Huh. ......Which means Naru, too?"
"That's right. Not to mention his father's a professor at Cambridge."
Ahh, I see. Cambridge University's Cambridge.
******

this then joins up with the short snippet where Naru apologises to the wall. ^^;
And since that's all I've translated for Part 14, I'll leave that there. I'll type up the scene tomorrow. It's in Part 15. ^^;

kagedreams.livejournal.com/153221.html
Summary Part 14 Ch3; Part 15 Aug 14 after 6 PM ch 1-3 trans
*blink* Apparently I have an auto-knitting Rosy Fingered Dawn. O_O I left the shawl on FSU's desk at the beginning of round 13. Apparently it's currently on round 17...
It's amazing what happens when you have 1x1 ribbing to look forward to... ^^;

В этой части находят тело Джина. Май знакомиться с родителями Нару. И происходит диалог между Нару и Май, который я могла бы отнести к намекам на каноничный пейринг.

Part 14, Ch 3

Bou-san joins the conversation with Mai and Madoka and tries to talk about more serious topics including how old Lin is (he's older than Bou-san, much to Bou-san's relief) and the video that was recorded of Naru throwing the aluminum mass into the wall. Madoka says how in the past, Naru didn't have problems using his PK because Gene would act as an amplifier for him. Madoka herself didn't understand how it worked very well, but explains that Naru would toss a small seed of energy to Gene who would then amplify it and send it back. After repeating this a number of times, it would be greatly increased from the original seed so Naru didn't end up exhausting himself when using his PK.
Madoka, just in case, reminds everyone to be careful about not letting anything leak to the mass media. When asked why, Madoka explains that, while it would depend on the culprit, but it was potentially very dangerous for Naru since he looked the exact same as Gene--the one that person had killed.
Madoka then comments about Bou-san being Dr. Davis's fan. And after a brief silence, everyone bursts out laughing. They tease him about how he could easily ask for Dr. Davis's autograph since he knew him and that the doctor himself knew how Bou-san felt since he'd been quite open in expressing his opinion in front of the doctor. Bou-san looks truly pathetic as he pleads for the others not to mention that since he was trying his best not to think about that. And as everyone has a great laugh, Lin comes to the cabin asking for Madoka. He then tells her they found the body. Everyone gets up at that news.

Part 15--Aug 14 After 6 PM Ch 1
When we ran out of the bungalow, several people including onlookers had gathered by the water's edge.
The surroundings were rich with the feel of sunset. The shore had fallen into the mountain's shadows and the boat on the shadowless lake was very clear, as though it was being lit. The waters glittered in the setting sun.
The black head of a diver bobbed in the water beside the motorboat. A hand reached out from inside the boat and was handed a rope. The person inside the boat pulled on the rope and a greyish mass obscured by the water slowly rose towards the surface. The diver in the water climbed aboard the boat, and the boat set off. It headed for the beach.
We watched all that feeling as though we were watching some sort of ceremony.
The boat reached the shore. It stopped as it came a little out of the water's edge. The diver jumped out of the boat and pulled on the rope reeling in whatever was wrapped in the grey... no, the dirty silver sheeting, and pulled it out of the water. From between the people who were watching all this from a distance, a lone figure started walking towards the water's edge--it was Naru.
Naru crouched down beside the wrapped mass. He reached out a hand and the middle-aged diver's voice could be heard trying to stop him.
"Don't do it."
"No, I'm all right."
Naru's calm voice. His face lost all expression.
Naru knelt on the sheet. Reaching out a pale hand, he turned over a corner of the sheet. Some pitch black hair could be seen peeking out from the edge of the sheet encasing. The diver next to him looked away.
Naru stared at that for a long moment...... and calmly replaced the sheet as it was originally. He silently climbed to his feet and started walking along the water's edge.
There wasn't a hint of tears or pain in that silent profile.
*****
Things were in a major panic after that. Ayako, Masako, and I, along with Mori-san, quickly left that place and returned to our bungalow--taking Naru's mother with us.
His father is Martin Davis. His mother is Luella Davis. His father's called Professor Davis to distinguish between him and Naru. While I couldn't tell his age, he seemed to be much older than our parents would be.
The professor's hair was a brownish-red while his wife's was a beautiful blonde. His eyes were blue; hers purple.
Mrs. Davis cried a lot. She was in so much pain that we couldn't find any words to try to comfort her with. After a long while, and it was full dark outside, she finally lifted her face from Mori-san's shoulder.
"I'm sorry."
She spoke in slightly stilted Japanese.
"I'm sorry, I didn't come say hello earlier."
Everyone just shook their head. After seeing that with eyes swollen from crying, she asked, "Can you understand my Japanese?"
"It's very good."
When Masako said that, Mrs. Davis finally smiled. The corners of her mouth trembled, and seeing that was very painful.
"Those two would talk secretly in Japanese so I learned the language. But Japanese is very difficult. I'm sorry I can't speak it very well."
"Those two" probably meant Naru and his older brother.
"Thank you for looking out for Naru so much."
"Not at all. Likewise."
Masako bowed slightly while Ayako got to her feet.
"I'll go make some new tea. It's become cold."
"Umm...... My condolences."
When I said that, Mrs. Davis glanced at Mori-san. Mori-san said something to her in English, and Mrs. Davis then smiled at me.
"Thank you. Are you Taniyama-san?"
"Yes, that's right. I'm pleased to meet you."
"I'm pleased to meet you too. Naru is quite difficult and can be a bit of a problem. Thank you for everything."
Since she said that, she must know that I'm working part-time at the office.
"He really is a bit difficult, isn't he?"
When I said that, she smiled.
"But he's a good person."
"I know."
"I'm very proud of both of them."
She opened her hand that was gripping a handkerchief at those words. In her palm was a business card-sized picture frame. She touched it gently. When I bent to peer at it, she handed it to me.
"Extremely proud."
Two young men were in that photo. They had the same face. The same stature. One had a slightly gentler look than the other. Two Narus.
"......Gene?"
I pointed to one of them. Mrs. Davis nodded.
They really were alike. Gene was smiling while Naru was frowning slightly.
"It looks like there are two Genes, doesn't it?"
Masako said looking at the photo from one side, and I couldn't help thinking the same thing.
It seemed like, more than there being two Narus in that photo, that there were two Genes there. I quickly realised why. Naru was wearing a navy blue sweater. The shirt was tangerine. It's the first time I've ever seen Naru dressed like that.
......Ah, I see.
I understand.
Those...... were for mourning.
Pure black clothes. For Gene.
--For the other half he'd lost.
I quickly fought back the tears that threatened to fall. I had no right to cry in front of his mother. This sorrow was for people who knew Gene well and loved him.
I returned the picture frame to her. She held that picture frame in her hand as though it was so very precious.
"Poor Gene," she said with tears in her eyes again. "Naru too. It must've been very hard for him."
"Yes......"
"They were born together. Being separated like this is wrong. It's really very sad."
"I think so too."
As I said that, I could no longer hold back my tears. I stood and quickly went outside.
________________________________________


Chapter 2

"I'm so pathetic......"
I leaned against a tree in the forest. The moon was shining.
I'm not supposed to cry. There's someone suffering a lot more than me. I should be giving her support and trying to cheer her up.
Even so, unless I was looking upwards, tears threatened to fall.
My chest hurt so much. ......It hurt.
I don't really understand why it hurts so much.
*fumi--* (sniff)
I want to cry. But I don't want to cry.
So when someone spoke to me, I was a bit relieved.
"What are you doing?"
That slightly exasperated voice was Naru's. I scrubbed my face and looking in the direction the voice came from, I saw Naru looking truly exasperated.
"Do you intend to eat the moon? It doesn't matter how long you wait with your mouth open, the moon won't come falling down."
......Sheesh he really is rude!
But thanks to that, my tears have dried so I'll specially forgive him this time.
"I don't necessarily want to eat it."
"Where's Luella?"
I couldn't help thinking that that's how he calls his mother.
"She's in our bungalow. ......What about your brother?"
"The police took him away."
"Huh......"
Why's he so calm? His being completely like always was annoying.
"You're really not honest with yourself......"
"About what?" Naru had started walking towards the cabin lights but stopped and turned.
"You stubborn idiot! Why don't you just cry?"
"It's not something to necessarily cry over."
"But you're sad, right?"
Naru had a slight cynical smile.
"I'm afraid I'm a fool who doesn't understand human nature."
This guy, he's holding a grudge.
"You're not being honest with yourself."
"Everyone dies." His voice was quiet. "In a hundred years, none of your friends will still be alive."
"I don't think that's the issue here."
"That is the issue."
He really is a stick in the mud.
I stared at the moon.
"You're going back to England..."
"Yeah."
It's okay to tell him, right? After all, it's too late now.
"......Um, y'know. I really liked you."
"I heard more than enough that you viewed me favourably this afternoon."
"Idiot. I don't mean in that way."
I looked at Naru. He was looking at me a little strangely so I couldn't help smiling.
"You're so dense--"
"What do you mean?"
"Umm, I meant that I liked you in a really special way."
Naru looked at me. Those dark eyes. He cocked his head a bit, then that white face smiled slightly.
"Me? --or Gene?"
My mind went blank for a moment.
Just what is this guy saying?
"That's......"
That's obvious, right? That sort of thing.
Naru's going back. That's why I thought I'd tell him. Because I'd never see him again. Never again.
......I can never see him again.
I'll never see that smile again. Never, regardless what the dream, he'll never show up again.
I couldn't answer. I was so hurt and sad, tears fell.
"But...... I didn't know."
I didn't know. That that wasn't Naru.
I never thought he was no longer part of this world. I thought that someday Naru would smile like that. Even though he never smiles like that.
"I didn't know...... I didn't understand anything."
He always helped me. He always cheered me up. But I never even thanked him. I was always under the wrong impression and was mistaken to the very end.
"I always called him 'Naru'."
That's the only name I ever called him by. I never once tried to know the real him.
My chest hurt. It hurt so much, I wanted to die.
I crouched there, and raising my voice, I cried.
________________________________________



Chapter 3

After a long while, my breathing calmed, and I was finally able to look up.
"In any case......"
I was surprised by that nearby voice. Looking to one side, I saw Naru standing right next to me. I thought he'd long since left, so I was a bit surprised.
"In any case, you'll see him again whether you want to or not." The pale face was looking off to one side.
"......After a hundred years or so......?"
"In your case, you might even have two hundred years."
"Hmph."
Strength left me, and I ended up sitting on the ground there.
"I'm definitely going to live long. Even though I'm clumsy and stupid. Enough to make you sick."
"No doubt."
"I wish you wouldn't agree with that."
"I think it's better to face reality?"
Hmph.
"You should've told me. If you'd told me everything at the beginning, I'd never have made this sort of mistake, so I'll blame you for it."
"It's your fault for being mistaken. Do I have that sort of meddlesome personality?"
"True......"
I smiled and tears fell again.
"I feel like an idiot. ......Being so affected by the things you did without even realising the truth..."
"Huh?"
The moon was shining in the evening forest, and you could hear the soft voices of the insects.
"It's the perfect mood."
"Huh?"
I looked up and stuck my tongue out.
"Until just recently, I would definitely've been excited at this situation."
"Expecting the same on my part's a bit of a problem......"
"I would have. That's what a girl's heart is like. ......And yet, it's worthless now knowing that it was someone else entirely.
Immediately after saying that, I took a dig at my own words.
"......not good. That's a really rude thing to say, isn't it? Sorry."
"That's okay. I'm used to it."
I turned and looked towards that dry voice and Naru raised a brow slightly.
"We have the same looks and our abilities are of the same level. One side has a good personality and the other not. --Which would you choose?"
"The good personality."
"There you go."
......I see.
"Things were...... rather sad for you."
Most likely his brother got all the girls.
"I was thankful as it was quiet."
"Idiot scientist."
Naru looked at me and I smiled.
"Gene said you were just an idiot scientist."
Naru sighed. I smiled at that and got to my feet.
"You're really similar on the outside, but inside you're completely different, aren't you?"
"My apologies for being unable to meet your expectations."
"Yeah. If your personalities were even a little alike, it'd make me swoon."
I'm saying a lot of rude things. I'm sorry. Forgive me. I don't have the spirit to get back up without doing this.
"There's still time."
I smiled.
"Is there maybe someone you like?"
Naru looked a little surprised at my question.
"Me?"
"I see. ......There isn't, after all. For a moment there, I was wondering if there might be someone you wanted to see back in England."
I'll ask for Masako's sake. I'm so nice.
"Well, there is a woman I've been chasing after for the past five years."
"You're kidding! Seriously?"
"......A Wimbledon woman."
"As in tennis' Wimbledon?"
"That's right. She lives in the attic of an old house."
"How old is she? Is she pretty?"
"I'm not sure. She looks to be over eighty."......
"She is alive, isn't she?"
Naru smiled slightly.
"I can get exceptionally clear data from her. She only appears around this time of year, so I'm thinking about going straight to see her when I get back."
......Sheesh. He looks like he's really looking forward to it--.
"......It'd be nice to be able to meet even once a year like that."
I won't say with whom.
"It should be better not being able to meet."
"......True."
His profile illuminated in the moonlight looked so much like him. Enough to make me cry.
"His smile was so beautiful--I loved that......"
"I see."
"It was really, really beautiful."
"Yeah--"

- Пора завязывать с азартными играми. Особенно, если игра идет на желание. И уж тем более, если в партии участвуют Монах, Аяко и Ясухара. Но самое главное – Масако. Кто знает, какие еще мысли могут посетить ее извращенно-больную голову? А ведь такое милое личико… Да, за рукавом ее кимоно скрывается весьма шаловливая улыбочка, и не менее шаловливые мысли. А еще она совсем не смелая. Хотя нужно отдать должное ее уму: надо же было придумать такой способ для исполнения задуманного. Конечно, ведь возможность провала в этом случае куда меньше, чем во время той истории с парком. На что же способна эта девчонка? – Май шла по коридору ЛПИС и проклинала сегодняшний день, и, в частности, эту Масако. – Нет бы, чтоб просто подойти и прямо все сказать. Она ведь имеет над Нару какую-то власть, так надо же придумывать такие хитроумные планы! Но, похоже, удача к ней не благосклонна, - с некоторым торжеством в голосе заметила Танияма, но тут же поникла, вспоминая, что это относится и к ней. – Черт, ну надо же было, чтоб именно мне выпало такое! Даже Ясухаре с Монахом и то больше повезло. Хотя интересно будет узнать, как же они исполнят это желание, - да, Май искренне считала, что заставить Нару в следующий раз играть с ними будет не намного легче, чем выполнить то, что попалось ей.
Даже при малейшем упоминании лицо девушки залилось краской.
А ведь все начиналось совсем невинно: Аяко предложила сыграть в карты на желание, как и обычно. И Май, как всегда, везло. Она посмеялась, когда Монаху и Ясухаре выпало желание заставить Нару принять участие в игре. Но вот потом ей перестало везти: когда остались только они с Масако, девушка уже надеялась, что удача снова на ее стороне, но не тут-то было. Подвело элементарное везение. И, моля о нормальной участи, она вытащила небольшую бумажечку, на которой аккуратным почерком было написано: «поцеловать Нару, в губы». Лицо Масако в этот момент приобрело странное выражение. Неужели это она написала? Почерк ее, да и листик, как выяснилось в результате тщательного обследования, оказался помечен. Нет, на что она еще готова пойти ради внимания Нару? И зачем в это все впутывать других? Неужели просто нельзя подойти и признаться в чувствах? Или молча поцеловать?
Так нет же, теперь эта участь достанется и без того бедной Май.
- И что мне ему сказать? Что я проиграла, а если не исполню желание в течение недели, то меня проклянут? – Конечно, в проклятия Май не особо верила, но во время работы в ЛПИС она повидала достаточно много того, о чем раньше и подумать не могла. Да и кто знает, что будет, если ее попытаются заставить жрица и монах. Ах да, еще ведь есть и Ясухара, выслушивать которого хуже любого проклятия. – А может прикинуться больной? Но тогда я пропущу то, как остальные будут заставлять Нару играть. Нет, это не выход. У меня есть еще целая неделя!
- На что у тебя есть целая неделя? – голос принадлежал не кому иному, как вечно прекрасному и холодному Шибуе Казуе.
- На… на подготовку к одному важному событию… - промямлила девушка. – Но тебе это совсем не интересно. – Попыталась улыбнуться она, но вышло ужасно глупо.
- Лучше бы заварила чай, - почти приказал Нару, но от этого Май стало гораздо легче.

День третий

Сегодня, как выяснилось, Май снова ожидала игра на желания. Только вот в этот раз их стало на одного человека больше.
- Монах, как тебе удалось уговорить Нару? – Поинтересовалась Танияма. За вчерашний день, полностью потраченный на документацию о последних делах, девушка почти забыла про уговор.
- Это все для тебя, Май, - улыбнулся Такигава, намекая на то, что ей все-таки нужно исполнять то желание. – К тому же, это все не я, а Ясухара.
- Хоть один умный человек в вашей компании, - хмуро заметил директор ЛПИС, входя в комнату.
На парня сразу же налетели Аяко и Масако, предлагая сесть поближе к ним, но парень сел на небольшой диванчик, похоже даже не обратив внимания на то, что там уже весьма уютно разместилась Танияма.

Несколько часов спустя:
- Черт, с Нару играть скучно! – проклинал всех и вся Такигава.
- И зачем вы вообще его позвали? – подключилась к нему Аяко.
А все лишь потому, что этим двоим выпало: «пойти на свидание с тем, кому выпадет такой же листочек».
И последние полчаса они выясняли, кто же написал такое.
А Ясухара тихо посмеивался и продолжал играть один на один с Нару.
Внезапно раздался его победный вскрик:
- Тяните, Шибуя-сан.
Поверить в это просто никто не мог. Неужели сам великий гений Шибуя Казуя проиграл?
- Как жаль, что Май пришлось уйти, - мгновенно оторвался от ссоры Такигава. – Не томи, показывай, какое желание!
Лин не мог понять, что за странный вскрик донесся из комнаты, где должна была пройти довольно цивилизованная игра в карты.
А Ясухара тихо посмеивался в сторонке.

День седьмой

- Доброе утро, Нару! – Раздалось в офисе ЛПИС. Вот уже три дня Танияма Май не появлялась на рабочем месте, так как должна была целиком посвятить себя учебе. Пусть Нару и тяжело было это признать, ему не хватало шума, который обычно создавала Май. А еще ему не хватало ее чая: он был куда лучше, чем тот, что готовил он сам, а Лина попросить гордость не позволяла. Именно поэтому первой его фразой было:
- Май, чаю.
- Слушаюсь! – и девушка весело выбежала из комнаты, оставив босса наедине со своими мыслями. Но это длилось совсем недолго: буквально через пять минут Май вернулась, держа в руках две чашки. Значит, у нее какое-то дело.
- Нару, как прошла тогда игра? – все дело в том, что после того, как проиграла Аяко, девушке пришлось уйти, а ни Монах, ни остальные, ничего не рассказывали.
- Не имеет значения, - хмыкнул парень, немного нервничая. Но как всегда это не отразилось на его лице. – Так что ты хотела?
- Вот хотела попросить у тебя какую-нибудь книжку, ты ведь вечно бурчишь из-за того, что я ничего не читаю, - попыталась как можно правдивее попросить девушка. Конечно, ей эти книжки даром нужны не были. Все это было лишь частью плана под названием «Как исполнить желание». И ей повезло, Нару купился.
Как только он направился к книжной полке, девушка мгновенно подошла к нему и, произнеся что-то неразборчивое вроде «Прости, ты вправе меня уволить, но все же…», резко наклонила его к себе и впилась в губы. Ей показалось, или парень не собирался отстраняться?
«Это нужно прекращать, иначе меня точно уволят!», - собрала остатки здравого смысла Май, оторвалась от губ парня и выбежала из кабинета.

- И долго ты собираешься тут сидеть? – прозвучал вопрос прямо над ухом Май.
- Пока ты не уйдешь домой и я не смогу выйти, никого не встретив по дороге, - на автомате ответила девушка.
- Не думал, что ты из пугливых, - Нару с обычным лицом стоял напротив сидящей возле стенки Май.
- Зачем пришел? Увольнительную мог бы и на столе оставить, - прошипела девушка. – Почему, по-твоему, я здесь сижу?
- Ты совершила то, из-за чего тебе теперь ужасно стыдно, - цвет лица парня прекрасно контрастировал с цветом лица собеседницы, которое было просто алым не то от злости, не то от стыда.
- И это тоже, конечно, - нехотя согласилась Танияма. – Но одна я потому, что хочу побыть в одиночестве, - не выдержала она и со злостью вскочила на ноги. – И ты мне мешаешь! Ты самый… - только сейчас Май заметила, что находится в считанных сантиметрах от парня. – Самый… - безуспешно пыталась вернуть себе дар речи девушка.
- Так кто я? – почти ей в губы проговорил Нару. – Говори, я тебя внимательно слушаю.
- Ты… самый… самый…
- Отчего молчишь? Неужели сказать нечего? – взял он Май за подбородок. – Ну же, тебе ведь есть, что сказать?
- Сволочь! – пришла в себя и вырвалась девушка. – Садист! Тебе что, нравится надо мной издеваться? Ты самый противный и гнусный тип из всех, кого я когда-либо знала! Ты хуже любого старика-извращенца! Я тебя ненавижу!
- Мы оба прекрасно знаем, что это не так, - снова вогнал в краску Май Нару.
- С чего ты взял? – пыталась сохранить остатки рассудительности девушка. Но как это можно сделать, когда предмет обожаний совсем рядом?
- У тебя все на лице написано, - усмехнувшись, парень оперся об стену и стал выжидающе смотреть на девушку.
- Нару, - Май неуверенно подняла глаза на парня, - у тебя температура? Или Боу-сан с Ясухарой окончательно свели тебя с ума?
Парень недоуменно на нее посмотрел: только этой девчонке могут прийти в голову такие ненормальные мысли.
- Или ты выпил что? – не успокаивалась Танияма. Вымотанная за последнюю неделю, она уже готова была сделать практически что угодно, не думая о последствиях. А в голову тем временем пришла шальная мысль: «Если Нару сейчас такой странный, то, возможно…»
- Давай завтра погуляем вместе! – на одном дыхании выпалила она.
Парень лишь вопросительно поднял бровь.
- Ну… это… - вся решительность девушки в миг угасла. – Просто… я… ты…
«Теперь меня точно ждет увольнение…»
Лицо нару стало прежним, спокойным и холодным, но в глазах скрывалось удовлетворение. Он оторвался от стены и направился в сторону своего кабинета, напоследок сказав своим привычным тоном начальника:
- Жду тебя завтра в десять.
И прежде чем до Май дошло, что только что у нее наметилось свидание с самим Шибуей Казуей, парень скрылся за поворотом. Лицо девушки вмиг залилось краской, и румянец не сошел вплоть до завтрашнего утра.
Наверняка, они с Нару выглядели как очень странная пара: красная словно помидор, но все равно радостно улыбающаяся девчонка и красивый, будто аристократ, парень, тщательно скрывающий улыбку.

- Глазам своим не верю, - Аяко наконец-то оправилась от увиденного несколько минут назад, - вам таки удалось. Но как вы заставили Нару пойти на такое? Это ведь Нару…
- Ну, - Такигава, сидящий напротив нее в уютном кафе, загадочно улыбнулся, - у всех свои секреты, но, - он наклонился ближе к мико, улыбка его стала еще более коварной, - я могу рассказать тебе, за отдельную плату.
И прежде чем он успел рассказать, что это за отдельная плата такая, тяжелый кулак Аяко опустился ему на голову.
- Старый извращенец.
- А сама-то, тоже старуха.
- Еще слово, и я тебя ударю.
- Еще слово, и я тебя поцелую.
- Ты…
И все-таки Ясухара оказался прав: был способ раз и навсегда победить Мацузаки Аяко в их вечных ссорах, причем для монаха не самый ужасный.
- Пожалуйста, напомни мне, - он оторвался от губ самопровозглашенной мико, которая, казалось, далеко ушла от реального мира, - чтобы я больше не играл с Ясухарой. А то в следующий раз он заставит меня на тебе жениться. Если он Нару смог заставить пригласить Май на свидание…
А сам виновник этого безобразия исправно следил за тем, чтобы все выполняли желания и придумывал новые.

если вы всё ещё хотите это читать

Вечер пятницы

Танияма Май пребывала в блаженном неведении о скорых переменах в своей жизни. Девушку не терзали страшные предчувствия, и при пробуждении в мыслях не мелькнуло ни намека на то, что "Сегодня мой мир изменится". Обычный день: школа, работа, насмешки босса и тайное любование им же. Да, Май нравилось смотреть на то, как этот самовлюблённый нарцисс читает очередной отчёт или в задумчивости проводит указательным пальцем по своим губам, очерчивая их – разумеется! - безупречные контуры. Иногда, в наиболее смелых своих мечтах, она представляла, как в один прекрасный день тот Нару, что приходит в её сны, и который, несомненно, является лучшей стороной Сибуи Казуи, прорвётся сквозь ледяную маску надменности, улыбнётся своей нежной улыбкой, возьмёт её за руку и... впрочем, на нечто большее Май уже давно не надеялась. Поэтому, подав последнюю чашку чая, она, как всегда, не дождавшись благодарности, вышла из офиса и быстрыми шагами направилась в сторону станции метро "Тобас". А через несколько мгновений состоялась судьбоносная встреча.

Утро субботы

- Нару!
Бо-сан фактически ворвался в кабинет юного гения.
- Где Май?

Спустя полчаса и 3 чашки крепкого чая немного успокоившийся Монах рассказал, что они с Май собирались встретиться этим утром, чтобы купить подарок на день рождения Джона. Когда Май не пришла на встречу он, разумеется, начал беспокоиться и позвонил ей домой. Но учитель, с которым живёт девушка, сказал, что вчера она так и не вернулась домой, и посоветовал поискать её на работе.

- Услышав об этом, я вдруг вспомнил, что в районе "Тобаса" пропало уже две девушки...

День субботы

Ещё никогда в жизни Нару не было так страшно. Даже в день, когда он стал свидетелем смерти брата, его обуревали сильнейшая боль и всеобъемлющая жажда мести, но до сих пор он не испытывал такого ужаса. В его ушах всё ещё звенели слова Ясухары: "Почему?! Почему она была одна? Почему её никто не проводил?". И сейчас, стоя посреди комнаты своей ассистентки, Нару сжимал руки в кулаки в тщетной попытке скрыть дрожь. Неужели Май, та самая Май, которая буквально недавно чудом избежала смерти в поместье Урадо, которая смотрела в глаза этого монстра и которая лишь вчера так забавно возмущалась его поведением может быть... Нет! Нару, словно готовясь к погружению в воду, глубоко вдохнул и решительным движением коснулся изголовья её кровати. И Увидел...

Вечер субботы

Напряжение в офисе ЛПИС, казалось, можно было резать ножом. Непривычно молчаливая Аяко обнимала плачущую Масако, вечно приветливый Джон бросал на Нару осуждающие взгляды, всегда спокойный и уравновешенный Лин, сам того не замечая, теребил цепочку от часов, Ясухара нервно мерил шагами комнату, а Нару, схватившись за голову, расширенными от ужаса глазами смотрел на давно остывшую чашку чая.
Звук открывшейся двери заставил всех вздрогнуть. Невысокий молодой человек, вошедший в комнату после Такигавы, несколько недоверчиво осмотрел открывшуюся перед ним мизансцену.
- Кхм... Это мой кузен, Ино Кудо, - дождавшись приветствия от собравшихся, Монах продолжил. - Ино занимается расследованием пропажи тех девушек, о которых я вам говорил... Мы немного задержались, так как ему надо было сделать заявление для прессы об орудующем в этом районе маньяке....
- Почему вы не сделали этого раньше? - взбешённая жрица яростно прожигала взглядом Кудо. - Неужели исчезновения двух девушек было недостаточно для того, чтобы сделать заявление раньше? Если бы мы знали...
- До того как пропала ваша подруга мы не могли определить... установить, что в исчезновениях есть закономерность, а значит, мы не могли доказать, что это дело рук одного и того же человека...
- Но... - собравшегося было ответить Джона прервал холодный голос Нару:
- У нас НЕТ времени выяснять, кто виноват... Мы должны найти Май как можно скорее!

Субботняя ночь

Нару раз за разом повторял подробности своего ужасного видения, отвечал на вопросы Кудо, снова пересказывал увиденное и заставлял себя вспоминать мельчайшие подробности этого отвратительного действа. Он понимал, что девушка из его видения, скорее всего, вскоре умрёт и тогда Май из невольной зрительницы превратится в главное действующее лицо. Но вот Кудо наконец отложил карандаш и с тяжким вздохом закрыл свой блокнот.
- Сибуя-сан, вы уверены что она ещё жива? Судя по тому, что вы рассказали... то, что он делает с девушками...
- Май жива. - Нару сжал в руке одну из любимых заколок своей ассистентки - По крайней мере, на данный момент.

Первые минуты воскресенья

Ещё на подъезде к очередному заброшенному складу Нару понял, что это то самое место. Он кивнул детективу и тот недоверчиво посмотрел на чуть покосившиеся строения. Внезапно ночную тишину нарушил жуткий крик. Лин резко остановил машину. Враз побледневший Кудо подал знак остальным водителям. Ещё один крик заставил вздрогнуть даже многое повидавших полицейских. Группа захвата бесшумно проникла в здание, из которого доносились эти кошмарные звуки. Нару и Лин, ещё на базе выбившие себе разрешение на участие в операции, последовали за ними. Не ожидавший нападения преступник сразу же сдался. Чуть позже были обнаружены тела первых двух жертв, он бросил их в одной из хозяйственных построек. Тело последней девушки ещё не успело остыть, и детектив Кудо с сожалением думал о том, что, если бы они начали поиски ещё раньше, то девушку, возможно, удалось бы спасти.

____

Нару встретил спешащего к нему с Май медбрата яростным взглядом. Молодой паренёк споткнулся и с удивлённым вскриком упал. Лин, к тому моменту уже стоящий рядом с этой упрямой парой, тяжело вздохнул. После освобождения Май "мёртвой" хваткой вцепилась в своего босса. Она дрожала, плакала и отказывалась его отпускать. Впрочем, Нару и сам пресекал любые попытки увести Май от него. Так, участь молодого медбрата также постигла и детектива, врача скорой помощи и даже самого Лина (он, правда, смог вовремя восстановить равновесие и избежать падения). Ещё раз тяжело вздохнув, Лин со всей возможной деликатностью напомнил своему работодателю о том, что Танияма-сан нуждается не только в его крепких объятиях, но и в медицинской помощи. И хотя похититель и не успел нанести ей ни одного существенного повреждения, её всё равно надо показать врачу. Заработав таким образом ещё один "ласковый" взгляд, он с удовольствием отметил, что Нару осторожно отстранил девушку и в своей неподражаемой манере напомнил ей про замерших в нескольких шагах от них врачах.

«Однажды, я просто устала ждать»

[MarisaKamy]

Автор: MarisaKamy aka Aquanyta, Princess_of_the_Stars
Название: «Однажды, я просто устала ждать».
Жанр: Драблл. Зарисовка, если быть точнее.
Фэндом: Ghost Hunt
Пейринг: Нару/Май.
Рейтинг: T
Краткое описание: Это - секрет.
Комментарий автора: Одна из зарисовок, пришедших мне на ум ночью.
В данном случае, Мариса – старшая сестра Май, которая не так давно нашла младшую. У обеих довольно-таки тёмное прошлое, и обе не любят говорить об этом. В SPR о Марисе ничего не знают, поскольку Май никогда не знакомила их друг с другом.

«Однажды, я просто устала ждать».

-Запомни, Май-чан, флирт – это передвижная библиотека, в которой одну и ту же книгу не берут дважды. Флирт – это игра, которая помогает расслабиться и получить море удовольствия… здесь нет правил, кроме тех, которые ты ставишь сама, конечно же, - обескураживающие улыбнулась Мариса, выдыхая струйку дыма. –Поэтому… не бойся флиртовать. Заманивай, заставляй их трепетать.
-Ты думаешь? – сомневаясь спросила девушка.
-Я в этом абсолютно уверена. Приготовься, сегодня мы пойдём в клуб – тебе надо развеяться, твой босс, по-моему, уже совсем заездил твоё женское «я». А его беречь надо, между прочим, - подмигнула вторая девушка. –Не бойся. Я буду рядом, и ничего не случится.

Май тяжело вздохнула. Зачем она согласилась на предложение Марисы пойти в клуб? Может быть действительно потому, что ей хотелось почувствовать себя женщиной, и если не любимой, то хотя бы желанной.
Девушка откинула длинную прядь шёлковых волос и ещё раз посмотрела на себя в зеркало. Тёмно-красные волосы (она до сих пор не могла поверить, что разрешила Марисе себя покрасить), макияж, и одежда, которую Май обычная постеснялась бы носить. Чёрная мини-юбка, чёрные сапожки на тонком каблуке, тонкий корсет с широкой шнуровкой на груди, чёрный пиджак.
Но сейчас…
Сейчас она чувствовала себя как никогда лучше. Сексуальнее. Красивее. Взрослее. Увереннее.
-Идём, крошка? – Май перевела взгляд на Марису.
Тёмно-рыжие длинные волосы собраны в два изящных хвоста. Чёрное платье, чёрные перчатки, чёрные чулки, и чёрные туфельки на тонком каблучке. Чёрный крест на чёрной ленточке вокруг шеи. Чёрная миниатюрная сумочка в руках. Красная помада и чёрная тушь подчёркивают её выразительные алые глаза.
Май соблазнительно улыбнулась, и девушки поехали в клуб.

Охрана пропустила их без каких-либо вопросов.
В клубе было не так тесно, но так, как должно было быть.
Первым делом, Мариса повела Май к бару. Барменом была девушка их возраста, с тёмно-синими волосами и тёмно-синими глазами, неплохого телосложения, красивая настолько, что перехватывало дыхание. Эллиана, подруга детства Марисы.
-Что будем, детки? – игриво спросила она.
-Мне «Морозную Вишню», - улыбнулась Мариса.
-Как всегда, с ЭТИМ коньяком? – хихикнула Эллиана.
-Когда же было иначе, Лия? – усмехнулась в ответ девушка.
-Мне «Милашку», - улыбнулась Май. Мариса слегка присвистнула.
-Погуляем сегодня? – едва слышная нота понимания проскользнула в голосе бармена. Лёгкий кивок был ей ответом.
Было странно, как один глоток смог расслабить её и заставить забыть про все проблемы, в особенности про Нару – такого нарцисса, что весь мир мог сойти с ума.
Мариса вывела её на танцпол, и обе девушки начали танцевать, не прикладывая особых усилий – тела двигались сами по себе. Май почувствовала себя счастливой, расслабленной и свободной. Она чувствовала на себе взгляды множества парней, но её это не смущало, как раньше.
Когда они вернулись к бару, их ждала Лия с освежающими напитками.
-Ну и горазды же вы танцевать, девчата… - покачала головой бармен. Мариса и Май переглянулись и рассмеялись. –Кстати, Май, ты завтра на работу не опоздаешь?
-Ммм… я всё равно опаздываю всегда, какая разница? – улыбнулась девушка.
-Разница будет в похмелье… - хихикнула Мариса.
-Ой, да лааадно… - три девушки рассмеялись.
Когда Май и Мариса вернулись домой, было уже утро.
-Как я устала… но я так рада, - потянулась Май, развязывая шнуровку корсета.
-Я рада, - искренне улыбнулась Мариса, которая уже смыла весь макияж, и снимала его с уже уставшей и сонной девушки. –Мы можем ещё раз как-нибудь сходить, если хочешь.
Лицо Май расцвело радостной улыбкой, когда девушка наконец-таки закончила снимать с неё макияж.
-Теперь можешь идти спать, - улыбнулась старшая.
-А работа? – недоумённо спросила Май. Мариса хихикнула.
-Сегодня уже суббота. Спать давай двигай, я тоже скоро пойду.
Впервые, после того, как она начала работать с Нару, Май спала без сновидений.

Они ходили в клуб в пятницу и субботу. Май ничего не говорила остальным, делая вид, что ничего особенного и не происходит. На вопрос о покраске волос, она просто улыбнулась, оставив остальных недоумевать.
По сути, ничего особенного и не происходило, только Май стала менее неуклюжей, её походка стала изящнее и тише, как у кошки, она стала выглядеть более уверенно и… взрослее.

Нару сидел в своём офисе в раздумьях. С Май определённо что-то происходило. И это что-то ему определённо не сильно нравилось.
Конечно, её своеволие, упрямость и решимость ему безумно нравились, но вот её язвительность и поумневшие фразы определённо нет.
-Май, чай!
Меньше, чем через минуту его чай был занесён его ассистенткой, изящно лавирующей мимо проводов на полу.
Когда чай был на столе, и Нару ожидал, что Май снова будет стоять и ждать «спасибо», он почувствовал, как его брови удивлённо поднимаются вверх, когда девушка, слегка поклонившись, направилась всё той же изящной походкой к выходу из его кабинета, оставляя после себя едва уловимый запах парфюма. У двери она притормозила.
-Однажды, я просто устала ждать, - и вышла.
Нару продолжал удивлённо смотреть на дверь, думая о том, что конкретно она имела в виду – его вежливости по отношению к ней или его чувств.
С другой стороны Май едва слышно вздохнула с облегчением. Дойдя до своего стола, она достала свою сумочку, достала бумажник, в котором была новая фотография, на которой были изображены три девушки в клубе, вместо фотографии SPR. Мариса, Эллиана и она.
«Однажды, я просто устала ждать».

Мои арты по теме, тут пока немного, потому как временно без сканера осталась. В общем это лишь часть.
Нару из цикла рисунки на полях тетради

Ясухара тоже в звездочках...

Еще Ясухара, но теперь в качественно другом силе.
Арт сделан на заказ, называется он: Летний отдых

Ну и мой любимый Джон, арт ЧБ

Этот арт посещен прошлогоднему дню рождения Джона.

На это день рождения я сделала арты по лучше, но я сей час без сканера Т.Т
ЗЫ: если кого то интересуют мои работы но другим аниме обращайтесь в U-mail. Так как сей час у меня сложности с обработкой изображений, я не буду выкладывать "без цельных" работ.

Я думаю многие уже знакомы с этой игрой, но мне преспичило сделать ее по Ghost hunt. В общем, уважаемые ПЧ нашего любимого соо давайте поиграем в игру известную под названием Save and kill - это своего рода замена голосованиям за любимого и нелюбимого персонажа.
Правила:
У всех персонажей изначально по десять очков, за один ход вы можете "спасти" одного из них (прибавить ему 2 очка) или "убить" (отнять у него 2 очка). Копируете список из комментария предыдущего участника, меняете количество очков, рядом со "спасенным" пишете save, рядом с "убитым" - kill.
Персонаж, набравший 30 очков, удаляется из списка и помещается в Зал Славы.
Персонаж, потерявший все очки, удаляется из списка и помещается на Кладбище.
Вместо отправленного на Кладбище или в Зал Славы пишете нового персонажа.

- Можно голосовать два раза в день.
- Если кто-то отправляет комментарий практически одновременно с другим пользователем - ну мало ли - то сверяет с предыдущими результатами и правит свой коммент тот, у кого он запостился позже.
- Копируя список, не забывайте убирать чужие пометки kill и save.
- Не забывайте, что кроме добавления своих пометок надо изменять количество баллов у персонажей соответственно на -2 и +2.
- Проверяйте свои ходы, не сбивайте с толку следующих за вами.

Просьба следить за подсчетом своих баллов и баллов предыдущего человека.
При возникновении таких казусов с начислением очков этот и последующие неправильные посты будут просто удаляться.

Итак, приступим(Базовый список):
Нару-10
Май-10
Лин-10
Такигава-10
Аяко-10
Масако-10
Джон-10
Джин-10
Ясухара-10
Мадока-10

Кладбище:

Мадока, а также
Призрак Мадоки Бедную женщину убили дважды х_х
Масако отправилась следом: призраки ведь не должны страдать от одиночества
Урадо повторная смерть за пределами аниме ему уже не повредит.
Курода наберется опыта у Масако
Касай-сан Еще один недомедиум. Похоже, скоро вмеесто кладбища получится этакое МОУ СОШ экстрасенсов имени Масако Как-то-там
Мичиру-чан недолго продержалась в списке

Зал Славы:
Такигава Хошо Ур-ра, товарищи!
Лин Кодзё Ох уж эти мужчины
Джон Браун скромных каваев в красную книгу
Осаму Ясухара получает почетное место в Зале Славы. А паренек-то даже Нару обыграл
Аяко! Первая девушка разбавляет мужское общество.

Поиски по инету.

[MarisaKamy]

Долго мучаясь в поисках переведённого тома 12-ого на хотя бы английский, наткнулась на сайт, где можно этот том заказать и получить через неделю-две. Не знаю насчёт доставки, поскольку не заказывала.
Теперь вопрос.
Кто владеет японским и готов сделать сей важный шаг?=)

Ссылка - тык

www.yesasia.com/global/the-ghost-hunt-12/102306...
Кстати. Где-то попутно на яхуу ответах читала, что может быть кто-нибудь переведёт через полгодика-год. И то - не факт.
Печально Т_Т
