allllllrighty~ here’s my tHING~<3 i recognize that i talk pretty fast (and i was also trying to be hushhush so i probably didn’t come out as clear as i wanted to) so i’m including a script under the cut~

Tagged by @momtaku, @laffitine, & @dirtylevi ~ ♡ //thank y'all smmmmm// Tagging @shuuhuu @madcapraccoon @matcha-castella @starry-raven & everyone else on here who needs an excuse to do it and wants to. i’ll share the love and peer pressure asdkjfnak

'Aight, so here's my stab at Mamataku's SnK Voice Meme 4.0! I wrote a script to try and keep myself on track, but... the fuck if I ever know how to play right, so here we go~

State your name and username. 『sal, fivefootab-i-tch』 Is there a story behind your user name that you’d like to share? 『it's from an o.g. fandom video called "More Sassy Levi (Ezekieru Outtakes)". this was way before i was more or less tumblr savvy and i've gone through variations of it before settling on this one to mimic Ezekieru's pronunciation of BITCH. i'd wanna have a completely hyphenless version of this url to make my presence easier for the tumblr system to SWALLOW, kkkk but it's taken. the version of it with a 1 instead of the i isn't though... so maybe i'll switch to that one, i dunno. what's a brand?』 Where are you from? 『i'm from the states, southern california, bordertown asscrack of the U.S. you might get that lazy, high as balls, surfer feel from my voice since i've been here all my life』 How long have you been a fan of the series? 『i'm about two years late from the anime release, and i only know this because i immediately started writing fanfiction after binging the series in summer 2015. so... coming on 4 years? damn.』 What is your favorite and least favorite Arc? 『my favorite arc is the uprising arc, a pretty popular opinion, for a lot of reasons: the sudden turn of events, levi's collarbones, levi as a kid, KENNY, the characters all having their own unique identity crisis as their morals are suddenly taking turns, historia reclaiming her identity... (which was something that hits a little too close to home for comfort, but what's a good series that doesn't rip your personal feelings to shreds?)』『i'm not a big fan of the marley side of things, another pretty popular opinion. for me, suddenly switching to a new cast of characters and setting after so much was accomplished in the uprising arc and return to shiganshina felt like betrayal. i mean... they get to the basement, which was the whole ass goal of the entire series up to that point, then we suddenly screech to a halt to tell someone elses' story. i can understand it... theoretically? i guess? bbut the whole time i was still like "wait a minute, what happened with the main cast?" bits and pieces of it have grown on me since, but i still have a ways to go to invest myself. politically, i just realized... marley really grinds my gears. why did i have to realize this? i'm shook. i can't believe this. i'll process it later.』 Do you have a favorite moment in the story thus far? 『eren screaming "the world outside the walls is my birthright" for... reasons. historia reclaiming her identity for... reasons... i've found myself hyperinvested in this series for immensely personal reasons i hope to eventually see through in my own life. i wanna be free, too. i also liked the moment in the uprising arc when levi thanked armin for saving jean. it was rough, but something he needed to hear. also any moment levi praises people. it's really cute.』 If you could resurrect one dead character who would it be and why? 『kuchel, because not only does levi deserve his mother but i would've loved to see more of her and how she raised levi into the compassionate kind of guy he is now. that side of him survived the tough love kenny put him through, so she must've breathed hella life into her kid and that's something i'd love to have seen more of』 Who is your favorite character and why? 『levi, for a lot of obvious as well as not so obvious reasons.』『obvious reasons: he's pretty fucking cute. his sass and one liners are hilarious. his sense of humor's a clusterfuck of bad shit jokes and dark takes the people around him don't understand half the time and that's pretty funny in itself. he's o.p. as hell but the way the story makes it not matter when it comes down to it (because the universe is just THAT fucked up) is really something. he's in a league of his own but the depth of his characterization and development shows that's only a small part of who he is. the story demands so much more of him and the ways he rises (and sometimes falls) to the occasion makes me really like him. he's showcased as Humanity's Strongest but he's still human and flawed as fuck.』『not so obvious reasons: he says fuck gender roles. he's short and makes the trans guy side of me feel pretty good. that particular character trait isn't just a gag for me. he started from the bottom now he's here. he always sides with the powerless, the helpless. he (to his own personal moral code) uses the strength he has for good as opposed to using it to keep people below him, something he could very well do if he uncritically internalized everything kenny spoonfed him, and wanted to. he doesn't sit on a moral high horse. he's open minded and accepting of letting people decide things for themselves. he's humble. if he doesn't understand something, he'll look to other people and he does all that while remaining confident and assertive in his own abilities. he doesn't hold himself above doing the dirty work if he feels he's best suited to do it. he genuinely cares about people and does his best to talk them through their issues when they need it, even if he's clumsy while doing it. it's really inspirational and personally validating .』 Any OTPs? 『erejean hits me a certain way. they're everything "boys will be boys" is SUPPOSED to mean, and i still can't get over jean calling eren cool. they're just so funny and i love their dynamic. hange and petra hits too for a reason i don't really understand yet. i don't get super invested in pairings, but i do like seeing character dynamics being explored in different lights and stuff. **** i bonded with my partner over roleplaying an au ereri thread, so that pairing's pretty special too. i didn't ship it at first, but being open to it has led me to getting to know this amazing person, so... yeah.』 You are able to transport to the SnK Universe for a day. How do you spend it? 『helping out. i don't know what i'd be able to contribute, but i'd want to be doing something to make the lives of the main cast easier. they have it really hard, and so many times i wanted to be able to do something for them. so i write my original characters into fanfiction. on the other hand, if it's a world where i'm independent and free to live whatever life i wanna live, i'd wanna go absolutely apeshit first. see everything there is to see and live all the life there is to live. ****perform a strip tease at a scout party and have the officers stick bills into my boobs.**** THEN commit myself to some sort of social or military work for the scouting legion. ****be their comfort... if yaknoe what i mean. it's good honest work~♡****』 Eren Jaeger did nothing wrong or Eren Jaeger did everything wrong? 『eren jaeger is what eren jaeger does. i can't vouch for whether or not he's right or wrong because there's no way i can really put myself in the situation he's in. mass genocide is very wrong, without a doubt, but something tells me there's something else going on and his real intentions are more complicated. a pivotal point in the series for him was his tribunal, where levi played the role of the arrogant wank to save his life and beat his ass before the whole military court. i think there's something similar going on here. he could be playing a role too, but it still stands that i have no idea. i'm not so invested in condemning or glorifying him, because the things i enjoy about his character aren't really going to be influenced.』 What is your favorite song in the series? Feel free to sing an extract 『i love them all. hiroyuki sawano makes such amazing soundtracks and all the vocals are powerful and chilling as fuckall hell. some favorites i do have are red swan, Vogel im Käfig, Bauklötze, call your name, it's answer song call of silence, youseeBIGGIRL, the spanish version of so ist es immer. so uh... even though i'm not very good at it, i do really love singing, so... i'm gonna try and sing some for y'all. i know a lot more english, japanese, and spanish than i do german so... i'm sorry!』 ****『Like the scarlet night veiling the dark You can hide your fear Can lie, my dear Kono mama yume wo mite Chi darake no tsubasa Hirogete』**** 『Las sillas ya juntas están Charlamos toda la noche Este lugar no esta nada mal Y creo que nos llevamos bien ****Solo estamos nosotros Siempre es nuestra luz Cantando y bebiendo, puedes estar tu Bajo el cielo azul Siempre estamos asi Y largas son las noches aqui』『Ist das der Zerstörer oder der Schöpfer?』**** 『one of these days, when i feel more bearable to listen to, i'll... try and do some full ass covers, if y'all would be down for that ♡』 Bonus: What would Erwin do? 『about... what? everything going down now? i dunno. all i can offer is a dream daddy reference. he's chilling in Margaritaville somewhere... 』 Say the following: Wall Maria, Jean Kirschstein, Reiner Braun, Ymir, Theo Magath, Onyankopon, Kiyomi Azumabito, Hajime Isayama, Shiganshina Trio, Shingeki no Kyojin, Shinzou wo Sasageyo

#snk voice meme 4.0 #sal's shiz #audio #ft. my shameless art bc it's like my favorite one sadjfnaskfn #i also starred things i couldn't verbalize for x reasons teehee so the script has extra shit~<3

🎅 secret santa 🎅

Seres sobrenaturales, intuimos que ya han escuchado acerca la actividad llamada Santa Secreto. Por ello deseamos incluirla una vez más en esta época del año. ¡Esperamos que se diviertan! Si tienen dudas, pueden comunicarse al ask o chat del main.

¿De qué va esta actividad?

El Santa Secreto consistirá en el envío de mensajes forma anónima a una persona designada para conocer más de ella.

Instrucciones:

Los participantes, o santas, deberán enviar al menos un mensaje diario a la persona que les tocó. Pueden preguntar por sus intereses, sus personajes en broken, su vida en el rol, sus gustos, disgustos, etc.

Sin embargo, no pueden preguntar aspectos personales. Nos referimos a develar su nombre de algún modo. Nos regimos bajo un seudónimo para la seguridad de nuestros usuarios.

Deberán abrir sus anónimos durante los días de actividad, al igual que activar el submit. No obstante, si existen inconvenientes, les pedimos que nos avisen de inmediato al main.

El último día de la actividad la identidad de los santas secretos serán reveladas, acompañadas de un gráfico hecho por ustedes acerca del personaje que rolea el usuario. Ejemplo: Kol es el santa secreto de Genevieve, el último día envía a su sumit un gráfico de Genevieve más un mensaje revelando que se trataba de él, el cual pueden enviar al submit de cada personaje o subir a su blog y etiquetarlos. Recuerden etiquetarlo como #brokenedits.

Estaremos enviando los mensajes de manera privada durante el día de mañana. A partir de recibir su nombre, pueden comenzar a enviar sus preguntas.

Modo de envío: Este año hemos decidido implementar preguntas estructuras que pueden utilizar. Sin embargo, si alguien prefiere una interacción coloquial, puede hacerlo. La primera parte contiene preguntas para el usuario; mientras que la segunda parte son sobre tu personaje.

¿Debo enviar desde el primer mensaje los ask sugeridos?

No, pueden presentarse primero si lo desean.

¿Es obligatorio utilizarlos?

No, son para hacer más ameno y diferente esta versión. Pero pueden preguntar lo que deseen mientras cumpla lo mencionado anteriormente.

Toshokan Sensou Love & War Bessatsu Hen - Index 19

Toshokan Sensou Love & War Bessatsu Hen - Index 19 raws

Please don’t repost/reuse my scans without permission. Tumblr reblog is fine.

Do not use the raws or translations for scanlations and don’t upload them on other websites. If you need watermark-less images to make graphics, send me an ask (not on anon) and I’ll give you a link - you can only request 3 images per chapter.

ENGLISH

*Each of the three has her own way of dealing with this event for “ladies in love”...?!*

Toshokan Sensou Love & War Bessatsuhen - Index 19

FRANÇAIS

*Chacune d’elles a sa propre façon de gérer cet événement pour “jeunes filles amoureuses”... ?!*

Toshokan Sensou Love & War Bessatsuhen - Index 19

*Jin Kijima... He doesn’t have a profile in his books. He writes violence-oriented novels.*

*And...*

*Just like Shibasaki said, his books flaunt extreme discrimination and serious contents while never using any prohibited words.*

*I see… He’s some sort of teacher who uses Human rights as bean seeds, is that it? I was wrong.* (T/N: I think it means he’s giving people a lesson on human rights and what censorship entails through the way he writes?)

*He’s like a guide for highly educated people.*

*…*

*Jin Kijima... Il n’a pas de page de profil dans ses livres. Il écrit des romans dont le thème tourne autour de la violence.*

*Et...*

*Comme Shibasaki me l’avait dit, ses livres font l’étalage de discours haineux et de contenus intenses, et cela sans jamais utiliser de mots prohibés.*

*Je vois… C’est une sorte de professeur qui abreuve les masses de Droits de l’Homme ? Je m’étais fait une mauvaise opinion.* (NDT: je crois que la phrase sous-entend qu’il manie les droits de l’homme dans sa façon d’écrire pour éduquer les lecteurs sur les conséquences de la censure)

*C’est un peu comme un guide pour les gens hautement instruits.*

*…*

Iku: Aaah… Even though I read it and I don’t like it,

Iku: I have to admit he’s pretty great, that Jin Kijima…

Iku: Without ever using any prohibited word, his work conveys such venom…

*He’s dead set on it…*

*Tired*

Shibasaki: You’re right. Read the afterword, it’s only there in his debut work.

*This book marks my debut as a writer. However, I have no intention of solely earning my keep as a writer, and even if it ends up not paying enough to eat, it’s nothing to worry about.*

Iku: Aaah… Bien que je l’aie lu et que je n’aie pas vraiment apprécié,

Iku: je dois admettre qu’il est plutôt génial, ce Jin Kijima…

Iku: Son livre transpire le venin sans jamais utiliser ne serait-ce qu’un seul mot interdit…

*Il est à fond dedans…*

*Crevée*

Shibasaki: N’est-ce pas ? Lis la postface, il n’y en a que dans sa toute première œuvre.

*Ce livre marque mes débuts en tant qu’écrivain. Néanmoins, je ne compte pas gagner ma vie uniquement par ce biais, et même si l’écriture ne me rapporte pas de quoi manger, il n’y a absolument pas lieu de s’inquiéter.*

*I’m simply fed up with the current situation. That’s the reason why I became a writer.*

*From now on, every book I write and how long I’m able to keep being a writer are a challenge thrown against this current state of things.*

Iku: I can see why this would appeal to the younger generation…

*This is basically how it goes…*

*Jin Kijima (image)*

Jin: I’m pouring the discrimination you hate so much into my works, but I’m not violating any law by doing this!

Jin: Try and hunt down my books if you dare!

*Betterment Committee*

*Young generation*

Youth: Jin! You’re so cool, Jiiin!

Shibasaki: Exactly.

Shibasaki: I also don’t like his novels, but I appreciate his using those methods to fight them.

Shibasaki: Discrimination wasn’t born from the country deciding what words to prohibit or not, it was born from the back and forth situation from before that. Simply put, hunting down mere words is foolish.

Shibasaki: This is what Jin Kijima is complaining about… Well the contents of the book are reason enough for the Media Betterment Committee and the PTA to hate him… *They’re really loud about enforcing restrictions on library loans.*

*Je suis tout simplement exaspéré par la situation actuelle. C’est la raison pour laquelle je suis devenu écrivain.*

*Dorénavant, chaque livre que j’écrirai et la durée pendant laquelle je pourrai continuer d’écrire seront autant de challenges envers l’état actuel des choses.*

Iku: Je crois que je vois pourquoi il plaît tant aux jeunes…

*C’est à peu près comme ça que ça se passe…*

*Jin Kijima (représentation imagée)*

Jin: Je dépeins dans mes livres cette discrimination que vous haïssez tant, mais je n’enfreins aucune loi !

Jin: Essayez de vous en prendre à mes livres si vous l’osez !

*Comité d’amélioration*

*Les jeunes*

Jeunes: Jin ! T’es trop cool, Jiiin !

Shibasaki: Exactement.

Shibasaki: Moi non plus je ne suis pas fan de ses romans, mais j’apprécie les méthodes qu’il emploie pour les combattre.

Shibasaki: La discrimination n’est pas née de la décision du pays d’interdire certains mots. Elle résulte d’une situation de va-et-vient perpétuel qui date d’avant cela. En clair, mener une chasse aux sorcières contre de simples mots est idiot.

Shibasaki: C’est ce dont se plaint Jin Kijima… Enfin, il faut dire que le contenu de ses livres suffit à lui seul à s’attirer les foudres du Comité d’Amélioration des Médias et des associations de parents d’élèves… *Ils militent beaucoup pour augmenter les restrictions sur les prêts de livres dans les bibliothèques.*

Shibasaki: The superficial greatness of Jin Kijima’s misplaced expressions has a big influence on adolescents.

*Shut up, civil servant!*

Iku: I see.

Iku: In fact, this is the reason why Jin Kijima’s works don’t qualify for censorship. How frustrating for the Media Betterment Committee!

Shibasaki: Indeed.

Shibasaki: …

Shibasaki: It’s true Jin Kijima’s books are unimpeachable, but…

Shibasaki: Maybe… there’s a loophole.

*That “loophole” …*

Shibasaki: Le bien-fondé superficiel des expressions détournées de Jin Kijima a beaucoup d’influence sur les adolescents.

*Ta gueule, fonctionnaire !*

Iku: Je vois.

Iku: En fait, c’est aussi la raison pour laquelle les œuvres de Jin Kijima ne sont pas éligibles à la censure. Cela doit être frustrant pour le Comité d’Amélioration des Médias !

Shibasaki: En effet.

Shibasaki: …

Shibasaki: C’est vrai que les livres de Jin Kijima sont inattaquables, mais…

Shibasaki: Il y a peut-être… une faille.

*Cette “faille” …*

*…ended up affecting the library troops.*

*Beep beep beep beep*

*…a fini par impliquer le corps de défense de la bibliothèque.*

*Bip bip bip bip*

Voice: MBC agents are currently deploying around the perimeter! All hands, stand on alert!

Voice: Non-combatants are requested not to leave the base! I repeat!

Voice: MBC agents are currently deploying…

Iku: I’m going!

Shibasaki: Be careful!

Iku: I will!

*Women’s changing room*

Voix: Des agents du Comité d’Amélioration sont en train de se déployer autour du périmètre ! À toutes les unités, tenez-vous prêts !

Voix: Les non-combattants sont priés de ne pas quitter la base ! Je répète !

Voix: Des agents du Comité d’Amélioration sont en train de se déployer…

Iku: J’y vais !

Shibasaki: Sois prudente !

Iku: Oui !

*Vestiaire des femmes*

*Library Task Force, dispatching!*

*Corps des bibliothécaires, en marche !*

Doujou: Today’s equipment is a Sig Sauer, a submachine gun, and a rifle.

*Clac*

Iku: A rifle…

*The heavy artillery.*

Doujou: A night raid when there are no patrons around makes it easier to use bigger weapons. We expect the enemy will have brought some as well.

Komaki: We’ve learned how to use them during training. It’ll be fine.

Iku: Roger!

*I won’t drag our personal quarrel on the battlefield.*

Doujou: L’équipement d’aujourd’hui se compose d’un Sig Sauer, d’une mitraillette et d’un fusil.

*Clac*

Iku: Un fusil…

*L’artillerie lourde.*

Doujou: Un raid nocturne lorsqu’il n’y a plus de visiteurs nous permet d’utiliser de plus grandes armes. Nous nous attendons à ce que l’ennemi en ait apporté également.

Komaki: Nous avons appris à les utiliser pendant l’entraînement. Tout va bien se passer.

Iku: Compris !

*Je n’emporterai pas nos querelles personnelles avec moi sur le champ de bataille.*

*That’s what I would like…*

*…to tell you.*

Doujou: Alright! Tezuka, head over Library Supervisor Third Class Shindou’s sniper battalion.

Tezuka: Roger!

Doujou: Everyone else will regroup with Aoki’s squad and enter the building through the reading room’s service door. Before entering, strengthen your position!

*C’est ce que…*

*…j’aimerais vous dire.*

Doujou: Bon ! Tezuka, tu rejoins le bataillon de snipers du Capitaine 3ème classe Shindou.

Tezuka: À vos ordres !

Doujou: Les autres rejoindront l’escouade d’Aoki et entreront dans le bâtiment par l’entrée de service de la salle de lecture. Avant d’entrer, renforcez bien vos positions !

Doujou: Let’s go!

Doujou: This place is still clear.

Doujou: Kasahara, go to the Operations Department’s floor and check the fax machine! It’s possible we received a subrogation declaration from the Media Betterment Committee.

Iku: Yes!

Shibasaki: *It’ll be on the test!*

*The MBC agents can only enforce censorship after they’ve informed the library through a document called a “censorship subrogation declaration notice”.*

Doujou: C’est parti !

Doujou: Rien à signaler ici pour l’instant.

Doujou: Kasahara, va à l’étage de la Direction des Opérations et vérifie le fax ! Nous avons peut-être reçu une déclaration de subrogation de la part du Comité d’Amélioration.

Iku: Compris !

Shibasaki: *Ça va tomber à l’examen !*

*Les agents du Comité d’Amélioration ne peuvent procéder à une censure qu’après avoir informé la bibliothèque au moyen d’un document appelé “Notification de déclaration de subrogation à visée de censure”.*

Iku: We did receive a fax.

Iku: There’s two of them? The first one is the subrogation declaration.

Iku: The second one is…

Iku: Instructor Doujou! Here…

*Today’s censorship will target Jin Kijima’s books. Both the Board of Education and the PTA have sent a request for confiscation to the Media Betterment Committee.*

Iku: Nous avons bien reçu un fax.

Iku: Il y en a deux ? Le premier est la déclaration de subrogation.

Iku: Le second est…

Iku: Instructeur Doujou ! Tenez…

*La censure d’aujourd’hui aura pour cible les œuvres de Jin Kijima. Le rectorat et l’association de parents d’élèves ont tous deux envoyé une injonction de confiscation au Comité d’Amélioration des Médias.*

Doujou: This is…

Komaki: Who would send such a thing…?

Iku: The Media Betterment Act did have a clause like this, right?

*Upon request from an appropriate institution, the Media Betterment Committee is entitled to crack down on works that do not specifically infringe the Media Betterment Act. <Media Betterment Act, article 4>*

Iku: What’s with that look, you two?!

Iku: Even I have been studying and learning, you know…

Iku: …

Iku: *Kh!*

Iku: …and Shibasaki and I happen to have talked about it recently…

Doujou & Komaki: I see.

Doujou: C’est…

Komaki: Qui peut bien nous avoir envoyé ça… ?

Iku: La Loi d’Amélioration des Médias contient bien une telle clause, n’est-ce pas ?

*À la demande d’une institution qualifiée, le Comité d’Amélioration des Médias est habilité à se saisir d’œuvres n’enfreignant pas directement la Loi d’Amélioration des Médias. <Loi d’Amélioration des Médias, article 4>*

Iku: C’est quoi cette tête, vous deux ?!

Iku: Même moi j’ai buché et retenu des choses, vous savez…

Iku: …

Iku: *Kh !*

Iku: …et il se trouve que Shibasaki et moi avons discuté de ce sujet récemment…

Doujou & Komaki: Tout s’éclaire.

Genda: I don’t know how trustworthy this tip is, but it seems to match with the time and censorship inspection… It seems to be from someone who has inside knowledge.

Genda: Just to be sure, move every Jin Kijima book down to the archives and lock them up! Team Doujou will be in charge!

Doujou: Roger!

Doujou: I’ll go with Komaki and send the books down with the elevator. Kasahara, go to the archives and recover them!

Iku: Roger!

Komaki: An attack within the rules of the Media Betterment Act, huh… Jin Kijima must’ve annoyed them greatly.

Komaki: The Board of Education of course, but also the Media Betterment Committee.

Genda: J’ignore si ce tuyau est fiable, mais il semble correspondre à l’heure de l’inspection de censure… Il provient manifestement de quelqu’un ayant accès à des informations confidentielles.

Genda: Au cas où, descendez tous les livres de Jin Kijima aux archives et verrouillez-les ! Je confie cela à l’équipe Doujou !

Doujou: Bien reçu !

Doujou: Je vais avec Komaki récupérer les livres et les faire descendre par l’ascenseur. Kasahara, tu vas aux archives et tu les récupères !

Iku: Compris !

Komaki: Une attaque en règle, dans le respect de la Loi d’Amélioration des Médias… Jin Kijima doit être une sacrée gêne pour eux.

Komaki: Pour le rectorat bien sûr, mais aussi pour le Comité d’Amélioration des Médias.

Doujou: This “request for confiscation” is suspicious as well. We don’t really know who prompted it in the first place.

Doujou: However…

Komaki: Right.

Komaki: It’s pointless to investigate that now.

*All we have to do…*

*…is protect…*

Doujou: Cette “demande de confiscation” est suspecte, elle aussi. On ne sait pas vraiment de qui elle vient.

Doujou: Cependant…

Komaki: Oui.

Komaki: Ça ne sert à rien d’enquêter là-dessus pour le moment.

*Tout ce que nous avons à faire…*

*…c’est protéger…*

*…the books in front of us…*

Iku: The archives are locked.

Iku: Alright, time to regroup with the other teams again!

*…les livres qui sont devant nous…*

Iku: Les archives sont verrouillées.

Iku: Bon, il est temps rejoindre les autres équipes !

*Our first battle in a long time was scary as usual.*

*And it made me realize…*

*Notre première bataille depuis longtemps était effrayante, comme toujours.*

*Et elle m’a fait comprendre…*

*…that being so obstinate…*

*…is such a waste.*

Genda: They couldn’t get in. It’s a pretty good achievement for an unforeseen nightly raid.

*…que c’est vraiment du gâchis…*

*…de se montrer si obstinée.*

Genda: Ils n’ont pas réussi à entrer. C’est une belle prouesse pour un raid de nuit imprévu.

Genda: You did well, guys! Fall out!

Genda: I leave the rest to the team leaders!

Men: Roger!

Doujou: You can all go now. You’re expected to report for work at 1PM. We will patrol the building.

Doujou: Rest well. Fall out!

Tezuka & Iku: Roger!

Komaki: I’m so tired!

*Women’s changing room*

Genda: C’était du bon travail, les gars ! Rompez !

Genda: Je laisse les chefs d’équipe s’occuper du reste !

Hommes: Compris !

Doujou: Vous pouvez y aller. Vous êtes priés de reprendre le travail à 13h. Nous patrouillerons dans le bâtiment.

Doujou: Reposez-vous bien. Rompez !

Tezuka & Iku: À vos ordres !

Komaki: Je suis crevé !

*Vestiaires des femmes*

Iku: The shower… There are more men so I guess it takes longer for them.

*Men’s changing room*

*I’ll wait for him…*

Man: Hey! Good job, Kasahara.

Iku: You too!

Man: Good job.

Man: Yo!

*Starting to feel weird for being a lone woman standing close to the men’s changing room.*

Iku: Let’s just go back.

Iku: La douche… Les hommes sont plus nombreux, je suppose que ça leur prend plus de temps.

*Vestiaires des hommes*

*Je vais l’attendre…*

Homme: Hé ! Bon boulot, Kasahara.

Iku: Vous aussi !

Homme: Bon travail.

Homme: Yo !

*Commence à se sentir mal à l’aise d’être une femme seule en train d’attendre devant les vestiaires des hommes.*

Iku: Rentrons.

Shibasaki: Welcome back… How did it go?

Iku: Ah, sorry, did I wake you up?

Iku: It went well. We’re all unharmed. But I think there were a few injured people among the security team.

Shibasaki: I see.

Iku: But then, a weird fax came in.

Shibasaki: *Hm…* A tip, you say…?

Iku: We believe it was from an insider. I was thinking maybe Tezuka’s brother was involved…

Shibasaki: I wonder… If it were him, I’d expect him to phone directly either Tezuka or me.

Iku: I… guess… *Fwaaah*

Author notes: I’m happy I was able to draw a lot of manga again this year. It’s thanks to all of my readers… I’m really grateful! I’m counting on you for next year. Wishing you all the best for this new year!

Shibasaki: Te revoilà... Comment ça s’est passé ?

Iku: Ah, désolée, je t’ai réveillée ?

Iku: Ça a été. Tout le monde va bien. Mais je crois qu’il y a quelques blessés parmi les guardes de sécurité.

Shibasaki: D’accord.

Iku: Mais on a reçu un fax étrange.

Shibasaki: *Hm…* Un tuyau, tu dis… ?

Iku: Nous pensons que cela vient d’un initié. Je me disais que c’était peut-être le grand frère de Tezuka…

Shibasaki: Je me le demande… De sa part, je m’attendrais plutôt à un appel directement sur mon portable ou sur celui de Tezuka.

Iku: Sans… doute… *Fwaaah*

Mot de l’auteur: Je suis heureuse d’avoir pu dessiner plein de mangas cette année encore. C’est grâce à vous tous, chers lecteurs… Je vous en suis très reconnaissante ! Je compte sur vous l’an prochain. Que cette nouvelle année soit la meilleure possible !

Shibasaki: Go back to sleep. I’ll take care of the morning roll-call for you.

Iku: M‘kay… Thank… you…

*Zzz*

Iku: Ah!

*Tap tap tap*

*With the last of her energy*

*Send*

*Good job tonight. Iku.*

Shibasaki: Retourne te coucher. Je gèrerai l’appel du matin pour toi.

Iku: K… Mer... ci…

*Zzz*

Iku: Ah !

*Tap tap tap*

*Avec ses dernières réserves d’énergie*

*Envoyer*

*Bonne nuit. Iku.* (NDT: en vo elle dit quelque chose comme “vous avez bien travaillé” (otsukaresama), mais comme il n’y a pas vraiment d’équivalent j’ai remplacé par bonne nuit)

*I tried…*

*…signing with my first name.*

*I hope he’ll notice this step towards reconciliation.*

*Zzz*

*Good job. Sleep well. Atsushi.*

*J’ai essayé…*

*…de signer par mon prénom.*

*J’espère qu’il comprendra que c’est un premier pas vers la réconciliation.*

*Zzz*

*Bonne nuit. Dors bien. Atsushi.*

*Badump*

*Sleep well. Atsushi.*

*What is that?!*

*It’s the first time he signed with his first name.*

*This suddenly…*

*Todom*

*Dors bien. Atsushi.*

*Qu’est-ce qui lui prend ?!*

*C’est la première fois qu’il signe de son prénom.*

*Subitement…*

*…feels like the distance between us has shrunk.*

Iku: Well, we’ve already gone all the way,

Iku: so it’s a bit late talking about distance, right?!

Shibasaki: *She’s not sleeping…*

*Afterwards,*

*…on dirait que la distance entre nous s’est réduite.*

Iku: Enfin bon, niveau intimité, on a tout fait,

Iku: alors c’est un peu tard pour parler de distance, non ?!

Shibasaki: *Elle ne dort pas…*

*Après cela,*

*two more “mysterious tip faxes” came in.*

*All three faxes contained details on the successive censorship raids.*

*In a single sentence, they confirmed the target was indeed Jin Kijima’s novels.*

*We still hadn’t discovered who the mysterious sender was.*

Satoshi Tezuka: I’m sorry to disappoint you, but it wasn’t me.

*deux autres “faxes aux tuyaux mystérieux” sont arrivés.*

*Au total, les trois faxes donnaient des détails sur plusieurs raids de censure successifs.*

*En une seule phrase, ils confirmèrent que la cible était bel et bien les romans de Jin Kijima.*

*Et nous n’avions toujours pas découvert l’identité de l’expéditeur mystère.*

Satoshi Tezuka: Navré de vous décevoir, mais ce n’est pas moi.

Satoshi: I don’t see the need for such sub-organizational behavior. But I’m not saying I won’t agree to help if you want me to investigate this matter.

Shibasaki: No, it’s fine. It’s not something of high importance to us either.

Satoshi: Did my younger brother take part in the battle too? He hasn’t contacted me even once since he became Library Officer Third Class.

Shibasaki: He’s fine. He’s very reliable as a sniper.

Shibasaki: Seems like it’s still a while before the ice melts.

Satoshi: Can’t I ask you to help with the ice melting?

Shibasaki: I’m afraid we don’t have that kind of relationship. Please work hard on your own.

Satoshi: You’re so cold��

*In the end, the tips were right.*

Satoshi: Je ne vois pas l’intérêt d’un comportement de sous-organisation comme celui-ci. Mais cela ne veut pas dire que je refuse de vous aider si vous me demandez d’enquêter sur le sujet.

Shibasaki: Non, ça ira. Ce n’est pas d’une grande importance pour nous non plus.

Satoshi: Mon petit-frère a-t-il pris part à la bataille lui aussi ? Il ne m’a pas contacté une seule fois depuis qu’il a été promu lieutenant 3ème classe.

Shibasaki: Il va bien. Il se montre très performant en tant que sniper.

Shibasaki: On dirait qu’il va falloir encore du temps avant que la glace ne fonde.

Satoshi: Pourrais-je vous demander d’intervenir en ma faveur ?

Shibasaki: J’ai bien peur que nous n’ayons pas ce genre de relation. Faites de votre mieux tout seul.

Satoshi: Vous êtes bien froide…

*Au final, les tuyaux étaient vrais.*

Genda: Library Task Force, dispatch!

All: Yes sir!

Genda: Corps des bibliothécaires, en avant !

Tous: Oui !

*And then…*

*Women’s changing room*

Iku: As expected…

Iku: It’s such a waste.

Iku: Because…

Iku: We aren’t hurt for once, we’re safe…

Iku: We could be together…

*Puis…*

*Vestiaires des femmes*

Iku: Effectivement…

Iku: C’est vraiment du gâchis.

Iku: Parce que…

Iku: Pour une fois, nous ne sommes pas blessés, nous sommes sains et saufs…

Iku: Nous pourrions être ensemble…

*…but I’m squandering our precious time.*

*Good job. Could we meet on our next leave?*

*Send*

*…mais je gaspille notre précieux temps.*

*Bonne nuit. Pourra-t-on se voir à l’occasion de notre prochaine permission ?*

*Envoyer*

Hisa’s thoughts on the chapter:

First of all I would like to apologize for the awkward sentences and translation. This chapter had a lot to deal with law and complicated vocabulary, and I’m not sure I was able to make all this intelligible ^^; So I’ll try to describe what happens in the chapter with my own words. Do feel free to send asks or submissions with improvements to the above translation. I also realize I keep switching between Media Improvement Committee or Media Betterment Committee, among other things... sorry for that T_T

Basically Iku and Shibasaki agree that Jin Kijima’s books are cleverly written. His characters are violent, probably both in their actions and their words, and yet the author never uses prohibited words in the dialogues or to describe what they do. We can assume insults are among prohibited words, so try imagining what portraying someone very angry at another person would be like without using insults. It doesn’t mean Kijima himself is advocating violence or discrimination. From what I gather, only his characters are.

The “subrogation declaration” -or whatever the correct term is- is, I think, a document stating that the MBC is acting as a proxy for another institution and was tasked by said institution to retrieve problematic books and enforce censorship. I admit I just went with what the jap->eng dictionary gave me.

Now to talk about the chapter. The MBC is back, yay! Let’s not forget that although things improved a lot after Touma’s case and Satoshi Tezuka’s alliance with the libraries, the Media Betterment Act is still there. It’s nice seeing writers trying to find a way around it, even if in the end they are still eligible to censorship because of that stupid article 4.

After realizing it’s foolish to keep distancing herself from Doujou, Iku finally makes a step towards reconciliation. Should we worry that Doujou might refuse to compromise? I think we all know the answer to that~
