Guchiry Rain Road Girl x Schadenfreude Novel Translation

What’s up guchigang!! Guess who has access to the novel now?!

I will be translating the whole of the novel to English (alongside June)

Information

Publicising the translation?: Now, I might publish the translation only one year later it has been released (somewhere, likely a doc) to play fair.

Summarising the novel?: I have thought about this for a while and I’ve decided: I will hold off spoiling the plot too. I think people should wait until they get a good read for themselves

But if there was any important information (official short character descriptions, ages, etc.) I may reveal those.

Thank you Magicube (my novel dealer) for making this translation possible!! I’m dedicating my life to translating guchiry stuff forever

I will only accept ppl into having early access to the novel only if they help me translate the whole thing but problem is I need verification if the person’s translation ability is accurate. (Not many translators in this community..)

Dash!! (ENGLISH SUB)

Aah!!

Morning, awake to the time “8:08”

Isn’t this late!?

…I’m late

I gotta dash in a quick pace of pride

Toast in mouth

Ah…

This is the worst, student A

Is this hell!?

This is hell!

Surprised by the angel numbers too as if it’s

An unbelievable incident

“That girl, who I have a crush on

During her lunch break

Somebody wrote a love letter

In the setting of a flower garden”

Dash dash!!!

Morning’s lesson, my highlighter is wasted

Is it this one…?

It’s this one

Crouching by the end of fourth period

Now, the bell is starting

The one I’ve liked for the whole time

Is that girl that’s getting confessed to

There’s absolutely, absolutely no way I’ll forgive that?!!

Move soon, quickly! I can only rely on this leg!

I came through the corridor! Into the abominable courtyard!!

Sweat going along and short of breath

Deprived of oxygen and dizzy

Dash dash!!!

To be on time, jumping ahead the fastest

To that point!!

DASH DASH!!!

Ah–

Talent Clutch

First-in-lead advantage isn’t giving in

I wanna survive, I wanna win then rise to the top

I don’t fear things like failure

But since I can’t get that disad, I’m gonna fix it and move on

Turn around, a 0.3 cm of an inquisitive mind is no, no

Convergent evolution theory is out of the question

That point P isn’t a player chasing me, right?

A fair life is boring, right?

Facing the desk I’m the 100-point full marks, honour student

Facing the screen I’m the low-performance worst, poor student

It seems the start of the bell for the end of school

Is just my own call sign

I can’t stop yet with an instant flounder

Today is a chance for more competition

Come on! Even if you have no life, stand up

Piled up 10 shots and 1 kill

There’s definitely value in being unable to do it

I found my passion here

It’s great since I have no talent

Logical too in patching thoughts together

Break into a run! There’s no way back

Our hearts are one: “Hey, I won’t lose!”

Can’t lose the advantage of taking the field first

I wanna survive, I wanna win then rise to the top

Don’t brag about coincidences

Mistakes are innocent, I wanna adorn them as peace

Insufficient reaction zero point seconds

Insufficient practice? (Anxious)

I’ve always thought about it

An analysis during class is natural

So absorbed into it that there’s not enough space in my notes

Aah, the adults say

“If you get good grades, you’ll be happy all the way through”

Is it really that true? Do you believe in that?

Cause the depths of your eyes don’t seem to be firing up!?

Even if you solve a difficult maths problem, the answer isn’t determined in this world

I don’t care anymore about a ridiculous story on how to go in the right path

Shoot that guidebook in the trash can

It’s stupid, right?

I can’t stop yet with an instant flounder

Today is a chance for more competition

Promotion match is agreed

Come on! Even if you have no life, stand up

Piled up 10 shots and 1 kill

There’s definitely value in being unable to do it

I found my passion here

Even without talent, I’m the strongest

Go restive, logically

Break into a run! there’s no way back

Showing my stubbornness, I don’t wanna lose

I just want to win the game

Interweaving the present

Interweave every day

The passing days responded me

Isn’t it wonderful to declare that this is life?

If it’s not ordinary, then it’s GAME OVER

Stand in line, never give up, here!

Our hearts are one: “Hey, I won’t lose!”

Colorless Youth (English Translation)

Praying in a transparent classroom like

We’re melting together, hurting, consoling each other

A blue heat drips vaguely

While being confused by it, while we touch

We become grown-up

“I have no interest in other people.”

My true feelings underwater

I can’t tell you, even though I’m dripping wet

I hoped

Like exposing the whirling galaxy inside my head,

I fell in transparent love with a fragile thing

Praying in a transparent classroom like

We’re melting together, hurting, consoling each other

A blue heat drips vaguely

While being confused by it, while we touch

We become grown-ups

Because of the foam-like flirty voice

I want to run away, I don’t want to run away

To the white chrysanthemum garden

To be lead there

The small bird going astray found a place to belong

Hearing the voice of collectiveness

So that I fill up the boundary of the sky

So that I satisfy my dried-up thirst

Praying in a transparent classroom like

We’re melting together, hurting, consoling each other

A blue heat drips vaguely

While being confused by it, while we touch

We become grown-ups

[beatr00]

Celeste Girl (English Translation)

Street lamps illuminating the night

Only I know

The credits of the graffiti

Pretending to be mysterious,

From the sidewalk, running through,

I catch a target in a sidelong glance

No rush, no hurry now

Simply, from afar

I want you to be happy

Only hoping

Surely a good thing will come out of it,

So keep looking at the ceiling

Only straightforward words

Put in faith to a reasonable degree

Keep asking

What’s my ideal?

In order to laugh on occasion

Live life to the fullest you can

Take it one step at a time

Without exception, you too

Go and Go and Go

With the time left

No time to think of bad things

No point in distorting them

Even if ordinary everyday

For example, don’t turn into memories

Life won’t be worth to replace

Isn’t it a loss if you can’t enjoy it?

Keep drawing,

Surely my wish will come true

On a day where things get messy

Follow your destiny!

Ah, I’m growing sick of it now

It’s overflowing with wonderful things!

Southwest winds will bring fortune

It will feel even better!

I’m remembering

To live by your words

So that I can hope to meet you everyday

Keep living to an extent without decoration[1]

[1] 飾ら - can also mean “to put on a show” or “to keep up (appearances)”

Ame no Bungaku / Rain Literature (English Translation)

My logic leans on my shoulder by the night bus window

Everyone in the classroom still doesn’t know how lonely I am

Following the direction the wind swayed told by magic

I cry on unsteady legs, a story everyone turned their eyes away from

Perfect, complete, like that book

Unable to predict the worst end

Firmly gazing by the window

At everyday fantasies

This world was already fake

If it were fiction, everything would be saved

The classroom’s atmosphere remains constant to this day

Flowers that don’t bloom don’t fall

Since I don’t have my eyes on these withered days,

Let them rot away

What is tomorrow’s timetable?

What happened to that girl next-door class?

One page short of a synopsis

To put a bookmark between all the way to this day

How the world ends

Or how the story ends

There’s nothing to lament on

Even today, I’m alone in the night rain

I wrote my imagination

[beatr00]

How to Make Crows Cry (English Translation)

1000 days of binding my heart with bitterness

It’s not allowed to heal

It will never mature to whatever mess

It ended up becoming a mixture of colours

Pa pa pa

From a perfect and cute bird,

Just one step away from end roll

Everytime we pass by each other in the roofed corridor

I click my tongue

Ah,

No expectations, lagging behind

It hurts, it hurts to lag behind

Since it won’t do any good

Just detest it and end it

Snarl at each other and end it

Then chirp with “caw caw”

Shall we dance?

Caw

Don’t tell me you may be feigning innocence and so on

Not until the dependent red spider lilies bloom and hatch

Hey, why? Why has it never been complete?

No, I won’t hear it

Harmonious with complete every day

My battery is about to run out, there’s nothing to do about it

To the point it becomes scary going downhill

And tender fragrant

Ah,

Wash it away, lag behind

Sweet, sweet lagging behind

Since I crouch in the corner of loneliness

Just detest it and end it

Snarl at each other and end it

Then chirp with “caw caw”

Shall we get off?

Caw

It’s foolish, it’s foolish

Give me, give me that reply full of scars please, please

Ah,

From here, from here

It would get amusing and funny

Aah–

Lopt’s monologue in the relationship chart album

——————————

There is no such thing as a human with no greed.

Without it, they wouldn’t live.

As a result, everyone, even anyone, wears a mask.

In that case, let me reveal what’s behind it.

Look, this sad sight.

Well, what do you think?

Everything, it’s all at my whim

[beatr00]

Gray Sea

The first time I felt this lukewarm sensation, just blood-warm temperature

I felt my sleeve and realized, I thought my mind felt out of place

It was a world with no color, no saturation, just no contents

I can’t grasp who is who, indistinguishable sort of slumberland

Welcome to your dreams

This is nowhere, you can’t go anywhere

Time of metempsychosis and vision going round and round

An endless maze with no limit

Overriding this place to survive this perfunctory game

Well-made plot like a yo-yo

Deceiving and deceived by myself

Can’t you deceive me?

I saw the sky, I saw the sea, I can’t grasp the blue, I don’t understand it

I saw my grazed fingers

Dripping temperature, filled with heat, I saw red, the world turned to red

Ahh!

How awfully absurd, sentimental and beautiful, let’s show the world is a sad place

Now!

Cruel and guilty, bitter and empty, let’s love ourselves

The eye reflected a drop of deep crimson that dyed this gray sea

Like a butterfly sucking a flower’s nectar, I’d drink up the red

Welcome to your dreams

This is nowhere, you can’t go anywhere

Time of metempsychosis and vision going round and round

An endless maze with no limit

Overriding this place to survive this perfunctory game

Well-made plot like a yo-yo

Deceiving and deceived by myself—.

I saw the sky, I tried to see, I don’t know what’s out there, I can’t see

I saw my grazed fingers

Dripping temperature, filled with heat, I saw red

This is— this is- this is the color I was looking for!

Ahh!

How awfully absurd, sentimental and beautiful, let’s show the world is a sad place

Now!

Cruel and guilty, bitter and empty, let’s love ourselves

Ahh!

It shined darkly, mudded with dullness, call this blood “love”

Now!

The flowers I’ve torn will blow away in the wind before anyone knows

For one moment, bring back the radiance for that moment I’ve been looking for forever

Finally found the world dazzling, it’s turning richly colored

The eye reflected a drop of deep crimson that dyed this gray sea

Like a butterfly sucking a flower’s nectar, I’d drink up the red

Since that color is mine

I will drink it all up

* 適当な遊び - Casual perfunctory - It also can be translated to like: amateurish game, fair game or appropriate game.

* 虚しい - sorrow has the same sound as love

Lopt no Kankei / Lopt’s Trick

A world echoing the voices of nothing but rabble; a lying world with expectations and devoid of love

Since when has it become such a disaster? Jeez… how fun!

One: sow a seed, sprinkle the water, raise it, an unpleasant fruit grows up

That will be the one they fight for, strike each other for, propagating hate hatred

It’s funny as well as having to love all the ugly humans (monsters) that multiply

If we have to love everything,

Let me show you the future you’ve wished for

See it sparkling and shining, an afterimage of light

Asking the shadow figure: the misfortune is sweet and tasty, isn’t it?

Despair too, disappointment too, I can’t help but laugh at it

Equally meaningless — everything, it’s all at my whim

Once upon a time, someone acquired a sinful feeling called “greed”

Reaching out to hold onto the sweet, sweet taste of honey

And so, that’s how a mistake began

Making fun of, speaking ill of, what’s so fun about that?

All creation is equal, every single thing has no sort of worth

In that case, let’s destroy this world

What do you think?

See it sparkling and shining, an afterimage of the flames (light)

Asking the revolutionary: the future is sweet and tasty, no?

Despair too, disappointment too, I can’t help but laugh at it

Equally meaningless — everything, it’s all at my whim

One: sow a seed, sprinkle the water, raise it, an unpleasant fruit grows up

That will be the one they fight for, strike each other for, propagating hate hatred

Two: believe in and never doubt fate, the bright light of life

That will be the one they fight for, resent each other for, propagate

Translation of Crowley’s story commentary found in the homeless-race blog

Crowley’s Melancholy

Ever since the end of the war, the city was decimated

Those barely survived couldn’t find a will to live.

In all the midst of this, suddenly, a “miracle” appeared

Each person worshipped him as the “incarnation of god”

Some gave food as offerings,

Some see themselves as acolytes,

He offered it to them.

And so, a blind cult has been born.

But he had no ability to perform miracles,

He also didn't possess any prominent talent.

It is only just a coincidence.

Someone’s perception was wrong

That’s all there is to it.

However, with the birth of a new revered being to worship,

The idol to cling onto for help,

A being was born to be other’s only hope for humanity,[1]

The blind followers gave him love.

In return, they tried to obtain a miracle

That hurt him terribly.

His name was Crowley.

A boy who lost his parents to the war.

Gathered in an old church, that served as an orphanage in the past,

An orphan’s lonely existence

As a guru, the blind believers worshipped him,

He held no particular disgust to the idea.

If anything, it seemed to be pleasant.

Without doing anything, you can get love.

Due to losing his parents, he was starved of “unconditional love”

But a few years later, he was noticing.

His blind followers were arguing.

“I’m first!” “No, I'll go first!”

They say this is the order in which followers receive miracles.

Suddenly, the past flashes across his mind.

“Because they wanted miracles from me,

They were giving love to me.

Isn’t “unconditional love” just “temporary love”?”

And then, he saw the blind followers show extreme foolishness,

He held nothing but disgust for religious beliefs.

“I was never truly loved.”

There is no one looking out for me, here, right now

They have a blind belief in the urban legend[2] called the “incarnation of god”

This is the planted fruit[3] of idolatry.

From that day on, he was self-aware

He still scavenged for “unconditional love”.

“Is it a sin to want to be loved?”

————

[1] 心の拠り所 - is a japanese phrase that basically means “emotional support” or “source of emotional comfort”. or literally “place of one’s heart”. I’ve localised it to “the (other’s) only hope for humanity”

[2] The original text translates to “they have a blind belief in the haribote called the “incarnation of god”. I’ve chosen “urban legend” to localise haribote because of the series’ common theme with urban legends (especially in the Mugenhoyou album)

[3] Also translates to “this is the result of idolatry” or “this is the the mere shadow of one’s former self of idolatry”. I just chose fruit cause of the ongoing theme within the series

[beatr00]

Unproductive Life Plan (english translation)

Omniscient and omnipotent with knowledge of all phenomena in this world

I’m thinking about so many things to ask you that I can’t write them all down:

What on earth is life? What on earth is love?

Who on earth am I? I don’t understand it too, I can’t understand it

Standing there unable to face this wall from afar called reality

I don’t think that’s some bad thing, rather there seems to be no way around it

If you have time to explain to someone, if you have much time for others

Suit yourself. Just stay away from me already

I’ve wasted twenty years, was this life worth it?

I’ve clung onto a thing that doesn’t exist: a good reason to live

Life was devouring, indulging in and outliving its time

We are the ones living right now piling ego on top of ego

I can’t find something like a good reason to love

It was a fruitless life like I have never loved anyone

Let's put an end to this unproductive life plan

God’s power that entirely created all phenomena in this world

Why do you create such decent to useless lives?

That guy who was drunk on self-sacrifice, that guy who lived off others misfortune

That guy who deceives people with his sophistry then kills someone with a straight face

I realised I’ve spent everyday sleeping, holding onto dreams and ideals

The universe, everything, and here– everything is rotting

The concept of religious idols, the brain of the girl I used to love

My nature, anything and everything, there’s no saving, there isn’t

“There’s no good reason to live” said I who wasn’t happy enough

“That’s the way it it is” I spat out, throwing it away like it was too crude to handle

Even though I brag “I don’t need it” I wanted to make a living

I didn’t need a good reason to love so much that I wanted to love

Even I can’t love myself, feels like my life was so empty

I just want it to end already

I’ve clung onto a thing that doesn’t exist: a good reason to live

Life was devouring, indulging in and outliving its time

We are the ones living right now piling ego on top of ego

I can’t find something like a good reason to love

It was a fruitless life like I have never loved anyone

Let’s end this now, let’s create it with our own hands, not anyone else’s

A life plan with no future

[beatr00]

Many love sleeps under the tree. | English translation

Under the cherry tree, countless

Feelings of someone fleeted and scattered

Like petals fluttering in the early spring’s breeze

A flurry of cherry blossoms flying at evening in the tree-lined broadwalk

That girl ran through, running off without looking ahead

The swaying light green shining sunlight in the early afternoon

The pink-tinted cheeks girl disappeared

Throughout the changing seasons, the impermanent world changes

The heart, the body, the memories, the recollections

Even my feelings towards you

The daytime’s light in the way of the view, it’s so dazzling

Shining on the future of 2 people

Even if it’s a story that can’t happen and last anymore

Under the cherry tree, countless

Feelings of someone fleeted and scattered

The petals fluttering in the early spring’s breeze enveloped the 2 of us

Autumn leaves dancing in the wintry wind blowing fiercely

Through the tree-lined boardwalk, that girl ran through steps to tomorrow’s direction

Piled up for the merry children to play snow huts,[1] just the 2 of us

Are the feelings that bound us together now stronger and stronger to bind?

Under the cherry tree, countless

Feelings of someone were told

Feelings bound together, feelings never fulfilled,

Love, romance are part of life

Even the longing for love, even as it scattered

And yet once again, the spring arrives from the passing seasons

Blossomed

Petals dance, the shining sun

Melting the blanket of snow to let life sprout

The prologue now just reached its ending

Under the cherry tree, countless

Feelings of someone fleeted and scattered

The beginning of the bell’s chime rung through the tree-lined boardwalk

A petal scattered past

Conspiracy theory | English translation

“The last days of Earth are near,” some entertainer said somewhere

He says in a comical way, yet the viewers fall for it

Social media blew up trending, “The world is ending!!”

Hilarious how nonsensical fiction has been mistaken for non-fiction.[1]

Government-run broadcasts, hidden codes,

Prime ministers, presidents, and secret societies too

If you look behind the scenes, they’re all just like balloons

In this closed world, we’re still breathing and walking to this day

Pretending as if nothing had happened

The truth was much simpler than I thought it would be

The dancing[2] clown within the palm of my hand sneered at me

As if it could see right through me

“Believe it or not, it’s up to us”

We state that as if that’s obvious, as if we’re telling the truth[3]

But is it the truth? How can you be sure it’s not true?

It seems that nonfiction has been confused with nonsensical fiction

Disreputable and unclear opinion, faith in sham idols

Historical revisionism, creation, god is dead

Exclusivity, racial issues,

Our awareness reached the rock bottom of the water

It’s sinking

In this closed world, we’re still breathing and walking to this day

You wouldn’t realise if something had happened

The reality was a much simpler world than I thought it would be

Hey god, save our lives with that palm of your hand

Omniscient and omnipotent, give me an answer in this world full of lies

Which is right, which is wrong?

Because I don’t know, what’s good or bad? I don’t even know

In this closed world, this is how we’re still living to this day

The lives we’ve wasted and indulged in for a lifetime

The truth was much simpler than I thought it would be

Is this the “justice” you’ve been deceiving yourself about, right?

In this closed world, we’re still breathing and walking to this day

Pretending as if nothing had happened

The truth was much simpler than I thought it would be

Dancing to the palm of our hands, we were desperately struggling

Here was a pathetic, misshapen and ugly life in all its hollowness

Wouldn’t it be fun to form a delusion, then create a villain

And then pretend “this is someone “conspiring” against you” right?

Before you turn away, there are a plenty of things you should notice

If you can’t do that, then you don’t get to call it “justice”[4]

————

[1] - 可笑しなフィクション (ridiculous fiction) has been localised to “nonsensical fiction” cause i want to make a reference to the term literary nonsense. Also a pun: (non)sensical (fiction) of my personal choice.

[2] - To dance “踊らす” in this context seems to also mean “to be manipulated” like, to dance to someone’s tune.

[3] - 信じるも信じないも　そりゃ僕らの勝手だって当たり前を口にする　さも真実を語るように // “Believe it or not, it’s up to us” We take that as if that’s obvious, as if we’re telling the truth - // what im trying to say here is “we take that as granted that it’s our choice to believe things or not”. I just tried to stay close to the order of the original text.

[4] - それもできずに　‘‘正義’’を騙るな actually translates to “you can’t do that, and you don’t get to call it ‘justice’” but I have localised it to make it seem like smth you would more of say in local English.
