Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne Author: Tanemura Arina Translator: Emi-chan Chapter 12 -- For instance, to be a fish swimming in a forest by the sea (Tatoeba Jyukai wo Oyogu Sakana no Youni) Emi chan's note : Hello once again ^^ I just want to apologise to V-chan for adding so many actions in brackets.... the colour changes never end is it? Sowwie ^^; V note: Don't worry at all. I could have made this easier on myself by just leaving it in text format but I didn't. ^^ I love you guys too much to do that. And now I added more color and italics and bigger sizes when they yell and pics. *sigh* What I put myself into. I hope you are grateful out there! >_< P.S. I am not too confident with the translation of the title.... a jyukai (according to my mum ^^;) is like a gnarly ugly, dark, evil looking forest that is near the ocean, instead of up near mountains and hills (as forests are meant to be near hills) and it's like a place that people don't go near and therefore, is an ideal spot to kill someone.... aieee... do you think I could translated that into one word/phrase!? ^^; Sorry ^^; Anyway, I hope none of you are offended by this outburst ^^; Anyhowy dooey, so I just left it as 'a forest by the sea' because yeah ^^; I have no other way to put it.... If anyone knows the word... well, tell V-chan or me (I'm curious...) so it can be fixed up and another one of my life time translation mysteries will be solved!!! ^^; note : text in [] are actions demon's voice --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Jeanne is drinking holding a paper cup] [Miyako is eating cake] Jeanne : You want me to steal your brother's painting!? [Miyako nods] [They are sitting on top of a roof having tea and cake] Jeanne : THAT brother, the one who looks so kind!? The one who's short sighted!? The one who sulks for the whole day if he doesn't eat a banana for lunch!? THAT brother!? Miyako : How come you know those things? [Jeanne panics] Miyako : My brother.... about three months ago, after he bought a beautiful painting, started to act a little strange. I don't know how to put it, but... he's been cold... he won't smile.... Theses days, he's cooped up in his lab and won't return to the house. Jeanne : And why does that mean I have to steal his painting? Miyako : ...When you steal a painting, the person who was bad, returns to being good! Jeanne : What!? [panics] Miyako : I don't know why though Jeanne : [sigh of relief] Ohhhh, I thought the fact about the evil spirit was found out Miyako : What? Evil spirit? [Jeanne panics] Miyako : My brother... he was inventing a machine to stop earthquakes. It wasn't accepted by the scientific society and because of that, he's using that same machine to create earthquakes... [Miyako slams her hands on the roof top. She is begging.] Miyako : I know it's strange that the daughter of a police man should ask a thief something like this. I also know it's against the rules.... but please Jeanne! Steal my brother's painting!! [Jeanne is stunned] [Miyako is trembling] Jeanne monologue : Yes or no? Isn't that obvious? Jeanne : Sure... [Miyako screams happily] [Sinbad is standing under a tree below them] Jeanne monologue : I've told myself ever since I was young, that I would grant your request without any conditions. It's a very rare request from you, being the selfish person that you are. I'll do whatever it takes to grant your request. It's a promise to myself. Miyako : What did you say!? Marron went home!? Why! Without telling me! Miss Pakkyalamao : She said she was going to the doctor Miyako : Doctor!? [sudden realisation] Miyako : Oh no, perhaps Marron is pretending to be sick and she asks Chiaki to come with her, making him walk her to her room then saying "My illness is....is love" then getting closer to him with her innocent eyes. Then the surprised Chiaki will trip over a back scratcher and falling and without any means.... (in small print) Ohhh, how fearful... Miss Pakkyalamao : The fact that you can imagine that much with the aspect of going to the doctor's makes me more fearful of you... Miyako : I can't just stand here! I must go after her immediately! Miss Pakkyalamao : Don't pretend you didn't hear it! And you've casually added my ending word on sentences!! (note : Miss Pakkyalamao (or Pakkyalamao sensei) always adds 'zamasu' on the end of her sentences and I have no way of translating that so I haven't included them... here, Miyako adds 'zamasu') [Miyako runs off] Miyako : [opening the door of a class room fiercely] Marron! Minazuki : Oh! Toudaiji san! It's horrible that you've left the day duties for me to do, even though it's your turn today! Miyako : Adios! (Spanish for goodbye) Minazuki : Hey! [Miyako slams into the door] Minazuki : Well, well! That's what happens when you try to run away! Miyako : You're so fussy! Anyway, it's not your turn to be on duty today. (in small print) On the attendance roll, I'm number 28 and you're number 15. Minazuki : Terakawada kun is away today so being the class rep, I am substituting. Miyako : Oh, is there such thing as a day duty diary? (in small print) It's the first time I've seen it. Minazuki : [crying] [thinks] Now I think I understand why Terakawada kun is away so many times... [The ground shakes] Minazuki : Oh, an earth quake [Miyako panics] Minazuki : There's been lots of them lately Miyako : Uh, yeah... [changes subject] Anyway class rep, what's this? [shakes a rolled up paper] Minazuki : Oh, that's the school newspaper. (in small print) I'd better stick it up. [There is a photo of Marron doing her gymnastics] Minazuki : It features an article from the gymnastics contest from the other day~~! Miyako : Why is it only Marron's articles? [Miyako kicks Minazuki] Minazuki : Well she won! What do you expect? [Minazuki huddles] Minazuki : Anyhow, when Marron san is doing her gymnastics, she looks so dignified and even more attractive! Miyako : [is in super deformed duck form] Compared to you, anyone could look even a little attractive Minazuki : [reading a 'Jeanne Anime Paper'] Ohh, she sure does look alike! Miyako : Huh? Minazuki : Marron san and mysterious thief Jeanne. Her expressions and her voice... at that contest, Nagoya kun was saying something like that... [Miyako slaps him] Minazuki : Wha.. Why did you do that!? Miyako : That's because you were saying idiotic things! [Minazuki is sulking] Miyako : If you say that one more time, I won't let you anywhere near Marron! Minazuki : .... Then what about Nagoya kun? Is he allowed to? Toudaiji san, aren't you worried? That Nagoya kun made Marron san cry? Miyako : Of course! I'm very very worried! But Marron won't say anything about it so I won't ask. If it's something that's painful for her, I don't want to remind her of it. She always made sure that she never cried in front of people so in a way, pretending not to notice is being kind. But when Marron does come to tell me, then, I'll slap Chiaki! It doesn't matter who it is, I won't forgive them! I, Toudaiji Miyako, won't forgive anyone who hurts Kusakabe Marron! [Minazuki is stunned] Miyako : [getting up from chair] Well, seeing as we've written the diary, I'm going! You lock up! Minazuki : Who is more important to you, Marron san or Nagoya kun!? Miyako : [smiles] Isn't that obvious? [At some house] Marron : So this is the place.... the lab that Miyako's brother is cooped up in..... Finn : [pouting] You easily accepted Miyako's request, but what if it isn't the work of an evil spirit? Marron : We'll sort that out then. We'll have to take the real painting then. Finn : What? But then you're being a bad person! Marron : [pressing doorbell] Well, if it comes to that then I'll sneak it back later. It doesn't have to be to her brother, but to the Toudiji household. [Marron is smiling at the door] Marron : Hm? [Presses the doorbell furiously] Finn : It doesn't matter how many times you press the doorbell, if he's not in, then he's not in! Marron : [grabbing a ledge] Then I'll just check where the painting is. The rosary might react to it. I'm not the gymnastics team's ace for nothing! [hauling herself onto the ledge] Finn : Wow Marron! Finn will barrack you! [Marron is hanging onto the ledge and dangling] Finn : Go, go, go--- [Marron peeks through the window] Miyako's brother : I won't let anyone get in my way Marron : [thinks, pouting] Hey! He is in! Miyako's brother : Using this device to affect the gravity using a satellite, I'll create a major earth quake, then I'll be respected as a scientist. Marron : [thinks] Wha-what!? What kind of horrible thing is he planning!? Even if it isn't Miyako's request, I won't let it happen! I'll knock down that evil nature! [The rosary beeps] Marron : [thinks] It is an evil spirit! [Marron slips from the ledge, surprised by the sound of the rosary] [Chiaki jumps out, catching her] [There is a loud thudding and Miyako's brother hears it] Marron : Ow.... [She is pulled down] Marron : [thinks] Chiaki! Chiaki : [holding her] Don't make me worry so much. Marron : Wha-what are you doing here!? Chiaki : I heard you and Miyako talking yesterday. I thought you might be doing something extreme again. Marron : .... [sweatdrop] [Chiaki sits up, then winces] Marron : Chiaki! Did you hit your back? [He takes her hand] Chiaki : [grinning] Nope, not at all [Chiaki holds Marron down and is on top of her] Marron : Argh! I got trapped again! It's terrible~~~ Chiaki : This is the best set-up for me. I'm very happy~! Marron : Idiot! Get off me! Chiaki : Oh... I dunno.... [Finn is trembling] Finn : Finn chan beam! [a beam strikes from her eyes onto Chiaki's hands] Chiaki : Aaaah! (in small print) Mother angel Finn chan Finn : You... Can you not advance on my Marron!? It's still before marriage! Chiaki : Marron's pet! Finn : [scowls] Finn isn't a pet! I'm not a pet! I'm not a pet! [cries] Finn : Waa~~ Marron!! Marron : Hey Chiaki! Can you stop picking on Finn? [Access pops out] Access : What!? Oi Chiaki! Don't make my Finn cry! Finn : Why do I have to be yours, Access? Chiaki : Well she got in the way, just as I was seducing you Marron! Marron : What are you saying you idiot! [Miyako's brother opens the door] Miyako's brother : There's no one here [The four of them are hiding behind a bush] Miyako's brother : Hm? A golden crucifix? [Miyako panics, looking for her crucifix in her bag] Marron : [thinks] It's not here! It's not here! Miyako's brother : Finders keepers! [The door closes] Chiaki : You... you didn't... Marron monologue : I promised Miyako... What am I going to do? My rosary got taken!! Now I can't transform into Jeanne~~~~! [At the lab at night] Miyako's brother : I don't need any policing Dad, go home. Miyako's dad : I can't do that under these circumstances. This is my job. Miyako : I'll try hard too! [Her brother walks off] Miyako : Oh.... [Miyako is teary and runs off] Finn : And? What are you going to do Marron? Marron : Well, I'll have to go like this. It all depends whether I find the rosary and then I can transform. It's perfect! (note : there's way too much to write here, describing how she looks... anyhow, Marron has a hair extension ponytail, she has sprayed her hair with blonde colour. She's got colour contact lenses, she's wearing earrings. She has a kimono on and underneath that is a yukata. She has a hand made crucifix on her and semi-long, white boots. She's also wearing white gloves) Miyako : There you are! Marron : Aaah! Miyako : Hm? Aren't you different to usual? Marron : What is!? Not at all! I'm just the same as usual! No problem!! [Sinbad looks on with doubt and a sweatdrop] Miyako : Oh? Are you going through the duct? Marron : Yes, you're always unprepared in one way or the other. [Marron jumps in through the duct] Marron : Hm? What's this place? Miyako : It looks like some experimenting lab.... the painting is in the room next door. Marron : Oh! [spots the rosary] Marron : [thinks] The rosary! There it is!! Miyako's brother : Welcome, little mysterious thief Marron : Miyako's brother! Miyako's brother : Miyako, you're a bad girl too. Both of you will be scolded. Miyako : no! I am mysterious thief Cleopatra! Marron : Cleopatra!? [Walls suddenly rise up, surrounding Miyako and Marron] ['Cleopatra' is sitting on the wall, rising up] Marron : Cleopatra! [The walls close up and water starts pouring in] Miyako : What? [They both scream] Marron : The water.....! [thinks] Aaaah! My hair extensions are coming off! And the hair colour is coming out! I'm going to be Marron! [Sinbad jumps into the room] Sinbad : I told you not to worry me! [Daggers fly into the walls] Sinbad : It's no good... [thinks] Marron! Marron : I can't breathe... If I was Jeanne, I could easily break this wall! If I was Jeanne! Miyako, please, don't die! Marron monologue : I am so ashamed of myself! Why am I always so weak? I can't even save my precious childhood friend... Voice : ....Marron Marron : Who is it? Voice : You hold a large power inside you. You have a power that can make an ocean sparkle and make the sky turn clear. Until now, you had to be Jeanne to be invincible, but that was just with help from Finn... Are you sure that's what you want? Let your power awaken, Marron. Let yourself become strong by dissolving the deep sleep now.... V-chan note: The green is the voice of Joan of Arc. The real one. Well it looks like Joan. [Marron glows] [The wall is broken] Sinbad : Aaaah! Finn : Her holy power has awoken... Access : Her holy power awoke... [Her brother runs out] [Miyako is coughing] Sinbad : Jeanne Jeanne : Take Miyako please, and [undoes Sinbad's bandana] Jeanne : Sorry. But I can't let anyone else take this job.... Let's go Finn! Access : Sinbad! If your bandana is undone, it's the end! Sinbad : Well, it can't be helped this time... [his transformation is reversed] Miyako : ... Chiaki.... [Miyako's brother slams into the room] Miyako's dad : What's the matter Subaru kun? (Miyako's brother) [Miyako's brother is fiddling levers] Jeanne : Wait! [Jeanne runs in] [The room is shaking and Jeanne trips, falling to the floor] Jeanne : [thinks] Wha...what? I'm held to the floor! Miyako's brother (in evil spirit voice) : My invention, my gravity altering machine. I have altered the alignment and made this room ten times the normal gravity. If your weight is originally 40 kgs, then in this room, you will weigh 400 kg. You can't even utter a sound. Miyako : Oh no! We have to help! Chiaki : Wait! We can't go in the room! Miyako : But! Chiaki : Hmmm.... if Jeanne's ribbon could at least get to the machine.... Ah hah! [Jeanne hears a noise] [Miyako is setting a small barricade board in the doorway] Miyako : Chiaki! Go ahead! [Chiaki pulls a lever and water pours down] Jeanne : [thinks] Oh! The ribbon's floating from the buoyancy.... It's because Miyako poured the water! [The ribbon floats to the lever and pulls the lever, turning the gravity off] Miyako's brother : What? How? [Jeanne runs up, sticking the pin in the painting] Jeanne : Check mate! Tonight, I have stolen the false beauty again! [Jeanne jumps out the window] Miyako : [thinks] The painting's been stolen.... [Miyako gulps] Miyako : Umm...big brother? Miyako's brother : [smiles] Hm? What's wrong Miyako? [Miyako cries] Miyako : I love you so much! [In the gardens] Miyako : Jeanne! Are you there!? This is annoying, but I will express my gratitude. Thanks... I think I've started to understand what you're trying to do... But that doesn't mean I'll stop chasing after you!! I'll never stop!! Jeanne : [thinks] All right, all right [aloud] Hey, how come you only chase me? There's plenty of other theives in the world. Miyako : Well... About half a month ago, there were some people in class talking. They said Jeanne looked like my childhood friend, Marron. And to prove Marron's innocence, I want to capture you. Jeanne monologue : Then.... all of that.. that was.... that was all for me? Miyako---- Miyako : Seeya Jeanne : Wait! If, if I really was your childhood friend, what would you do? Miyako : I'd cry... [Miyako runs off] Jeanne monologue : We've been togehter for so long and I didn't even realise.... sorry... sorry Miyako... Jeanne is me... Jeanne is Marron--- [Jeanne reverses her transformation] [There is a clunking thudding noise] Marron : [thinks] What? Hm? Some guy : Jeanne..... Marron : [thinks] Some one saw my transformation!!
