Approximate Translation of Chinese issue 33

[elsevita.livejournal.com]

P1 Aya cut right through Ruru.

P4 Grandfather: Have we returned?
Ruru: Why… why did you stop at the last moment? Ruru is your enemy, so you should let me kill [?] you properly / kill me [?] to the end.

P5 If we have passed the live or die climax of the battle [?], shouldn’t we make peace?
Ruru: Ha? Do you think this is shounen manga? That’s not in fashion anymore. Abandon this sort of sentiment.
Aya: You’re really annoying! Why are you like this [?].
Ruru: My meaning is: let me be your enemy. Don’t you get it?

P6 Ruru: Oh… No matter what, it’s been a pleasure / it is a pleasure to fight you.
Aya: Actually, this is the first time I’ve fought a battle where my life has been on the line. Also, next time it should be you who fights until you win [?].

P7 Ruru: Next time? If you say so, next time I will really kill you.
Aya: I accept your challenge.
Ruru: Strange person… Your incurable innocence will definitely cause you regret eventually.

P8 Aya: No, it won’t, because this is something I myself have decided to do.
Ruru: Really? Something you yourself have decided to do?
Aya: What? Is that not allowed?

P9 Ruru: No [it is not forbidden, ie Ruru is saying it is allowed]…
Ruru: But I actually feel a little [? *], haha.

* [I have no idea what this word means. From Aya's reaction, it could mean Ruru just hinted she has a crush on Aya? I have no idea.]

Aya: What? What bad thing are you saying?
Ruru: Oh, I suddenly feel a bit tired. Ruru will go now.

P10 Ruru: Ruru is also very happy.
Waves appear.
Ruru: If I can see you again, I’ll be very happy.
Aya: Huh? Wait a minute. What do you mean?

P11 Aya: Grandfather
Grandfather: I won’t get more involved / investigate more. I will not intervene / interfere in your battle again. If it is a path that you have chosen, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Aya: Thank you.

P12 Aya: Huh!? Grandfather! What’s happened to your leg!?
Grandfather: Oh?
Aya: I’m saying – your leg!! It was broken off just then…
Grandfather: Oh… Nothing to get into a panic about. It’s just part of the limb [?]
Aya: Limb [?]? Don’t scare me like this!
Grandfather: Hahaha, getting so worked up over such a small thing, look at you!
Aya: Huh? Of course I’m worked up!?

P13 Aya’s father: F…father!! What’s happened?
Aya: Uh-oh.
Aya’s Dad sees Aya covered in blood and Grandfather missing a leg.
Grandfather: Oh, Wen De [? That’s the approximate Chinese pronounciation for Aya’s dad’s name anyhow]
Grandfather: It’s because we’ve just come back.
Aya: F…Father, it’s because a lot of stuff happened.
Aya’s Dad: A lot of stuff happened!? What!?

P14 Aya’s Dad: Is it because you were practicing due to excessive expectation again!?
Aya: Huh? No.
Aya’s Dad: Old man! I’ve always warned you not to make Aya practice so excessively strictly…
Grandfather: Oh, what is it? You want to fight? You haven’t challenged me in a while. I thought that you were becoming old and senile before I could pass the generation onto you [?].

P15 Aya’s Dad: I will defeat [?] you before then, you old geezer!!!
Grandfather: Huh? If you are so rude… even without a leg, I will easily defeat [?] you.

P16 Grandfather: Give me all that you’ve got, young man!
Aya’s Mum: Oh dear, oh dear. They’re at it again.
Aya: Mum!! Make them stop!!

P17 Aya’s Mum: Ahaha! Look at Wen De [Aya’s Dad in Chinese]. Looks like he’s having fun.
Aya: No, it’s not like that. The only one that can stop them is you, Mum!!
Aya’s Mum: It’s no problem. Let them enjoy themselves. Oh, Aya, why are you covered in blood? Go have a bath before coming to dinner.

P18 Fierce battle continues.
Someone: Oh, let’s call it a day for now.

P19 The next day…
Shirogane: Sigh
Kengo: Shirogane-san, are you ok?
Shirogane: I pulled an all-nighter, and so I’m a little tired.
Kengo: How is Kou-nii?

P20 Shirogane: The surface abdominal wounds have healed over. What remains is the internal injury and the arm wounds.
Kengo: Is that right?
Kengo: It’s so worrying… And the Master is ok hopefully?
Aya: Good morning!
Kengo: Oh, morning, Aya! You’re a bit later than usual today.
Aya: I’m just a little tired. Akira is asleep already. He has no interest in attending class, this fellow.

P21 Shirogane: It’s not surprising, because he accompanied me and Kou until morning without sleeping. I will wake him at the right time.
Aya [?]: So sorry to trouble you, Shirogane-san. You would be more tired.
Kengo [?]: True.
Aya: Say, I want to talk to everyone about something at lunch. Is this ok?

P22 Kengo: ? No problem.
Aya: Great. See you at lunch then!
Bell rings
Aya: Ok, HR is about to begin. Everyone to their seats please.

P23 Aya: There is something out of the ordinary [?] today. It’s a bit sudden. Even the teacher is surprised. There’s a new transfer student today.
Class oohs and ahhs.
Aya: Please come in.
Shirogane shakes Akira: Akira, HR is starting. Oh! What!? Why?

P24 Ruru: My name is Ruru. Pleased to meet you.
Aya: What?

P25 Akira: Huh? What!?
Kengo: Oh no. It’s this person.
The suddenly transferred student is surprisingly, Ruru… What is her motive for getting close to Akira, Aya and co!?
Someone: Why have you transferred here!?
