Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne Author: Tanemura Arina Translator: Emi-chan Chapter 3 -- That Heart, Flow at the pure star (Sono Kokoro, Kegarenaki hoshi ni michitarite) Emi chan's note : I'm not too sure about the translation of the chapter title.... it was pretty difficult ^^ Sorry! note : text in [] are actions --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marron : Stop! Minazuki kun! ..... I said stop! [Marron throws Minazuki to the ground... ouch!] Minazuki : Ow... Marron : [thinks] Oh no... I threw him hard because I thought he was the evil spirit, but his body is still Minazuki kun... Minazuki : Kusakabe san.. [Marron screams, flailing her arms about] Chiaki : [lifts up Marron from Minazuki's arms] Okay, stop it there-- Chiaki : You can't do that class rep, seducing a girl in a place like this... tsk tsk Minazuki : ....ug .... Ah well, I won't give Kusakabe san to you, Nagoya kun.... Chiaki : Amazing confidence.... Chiaki : Are you all right Marron? Marron : Why did you help me? Chiaki : Did you want to be kissed? Then I will... Marron : No! You didn't need to bother me! I could've done something about him by myself! [pauses, realising she forgot to thank him] Marron : [thinks] oops... I forgot to thank him.... Marron : [thinking from her heart] I don't need help....I'm strong..I'm not a weak girl who needs to be protected.... Chiaki : Access! Acess : Yea--!! Black Angel, Acess Time -- check! I found out where the evil spirit escaped to, Sinbad! Chiaki : Now, it's Chiaki. And I've also found that evil spirit too. Access : Hm--! I came here ASAP just to tell you! Chiaki : Sorry, sorry. Acess : Oh yeah, it's that girl isn't it? The reincarnation of Joan of Arc? Chiaki : Uh huh Acess : It's rare to see you helping others. Have you really fallen for her? [Image] Chiaki : Don't think that. I'm just pretending to like her so I can get closer to her. It's only false affection. Marron : Brainwashing type of evil spirit? Attacking their weakness then posessing them... huh.. Finn : There's probably some kind of complex in Minazuki kun's heart...those kinds of people are most easily attacked. Marron : Hmmm... Finn : But I went to Minazuki kun's house, but I couldn't find the painting.... Marron : I wonder where it is then? Finn : Maybe it's been hidden again..? TV : Don't take my pants! Miyako : [laughing] Marron : Miyako!? What are you doing here? Miyako : Is it bad to be here? I got asked by Mum to bring some dinner for you. Anyway, weren't you just talking to someone? Marron : Y-y-you're hearing things! Tell auntie I said thank you! Miyako : I have something else.... Marron : Momokuri Theme Park? Miyako : The class rep gave me the tickets. He said for us four to go together tomorrow. Marron : us four!? Miyako : You and me and class rep and Chiaki Marron : [thinking] I see, Miyako and Chiaki will be with us so I should relax and come.... but if I go unconcerned and unprepared.... I won't be let off so easily next time!! Marron : [aloud] I'll give it a pass... Miyako : Then tomorrow at 10 okay? Marron : Hey Miyako! I'm not going! Miyako! Listen! I won't come!!! Tadah! [Marron is making a funny face] Chiaki : Err... isn't she angry? She's scary.. Miyako : She's sooo stubborn! Chiaki : hm? Marron, you dropped something [Chiaki opens up a Momokuri Theme Park special attractions map] Miyako and Chiaki : [thinks] She wanted to come!! She really wanted to come!! Marron : Hurry! Hurry! [Tanemura's note : She's making a funny face because she's excited] Miyako : I guess that can't be helped. This is Marron's first time at a theme park. Chiaki : First time!? Minazuki : Kusakabe san? Marron : Minazuki kun! Minazuki : It's a good thing we have fine weather today isn't it? [Marron stares at Minazuki] Marron : [thinks] He looks... normal..... but I have to be wary Minazuki : This place is under management by my parents Marron : [thinks] Minazuki kun's household's management!? .... which means the painting might be here! I'm so glad I brought Finn!!! Right! I'll look for the painting!! [after events...] Marron : [thinks] it's nowhere.... Minazuki : Let's go here next! Marron : A Haunted House? Chiaki : Are you scared Marron? I'll go in with you Marron : No, I'm not scared! Miyako : Chiaki ~ I'm scared, come in with me ~ Marron : Liar, Miyako -- You were the one who scared a haunted house ghost when we were younger! Minazuki : Well, we should go in too Marron : Uh yeah.. [thinks] It's okay isn't it..? He's been normal since... Marron : Wow, it's so dark! Minazuki : Oh my gosh! It is! Marron : Are you scared? Minazuki : Uh, sorry.. Marron : You don't need to apologise. You're honest. That's good. Minazuki : But Kusakabe san would like a stronger person wouldn't you? Marron : Hmmmm, well it's not that I especially like strong people, but I absolutely hate weak people! Minazuki : Absolutely? Marron : Yep, absolutely! Minazuki : Is that so... I thought I wasn't the type to match with Kusakabe san... Marron : eh? Minazuki kun....? [thinks] Oh no! It's a plan to leave me on my own! I'm alone in darkness.... Evil spirit : Do you fear the darkness? Marron : Who is it? Evil spirit : Do you fear the darkness? Marron : [thinks] Phew, that surprised me.... it's a talking painting! The girl in this painting .. she looks like me.... [remembers] Marron, be a good child. When we come back, we'll contact you... Every day the sun set, I would feel loneliness, despair, terror Evil spirit : I see, you fear night? Marron : No!!! Miyako : Hey! Chiaki! Chiaki : [thinks] She couldn't have been... the evil spirit...Marron! (Chiaki's heart skips a beat ^^ when he sees Marron crying) Chiaki : Marron.... Did the ghosts scare you? Did Minazuki do something to you? It's okay... Marron...it's all right now.. Minazuki : [thinks] Damn, her scream made me lose my concentration... (Miyako runs into Minazuki) Miyako : Hey! Chiaki : Marron... Marron? We're outside already. I mean, I'm happy but.. Marron : Huh? What? Aaa! [thinks] Waaa the biggest mistake of my life!! Letting Chiaki see me crying! Chiaki : We lost Miyako... I guess we should look for them from above in the ferris wheel Marron : [thinks] He doesn't ask? Why I was crying.... I thought he would definitely tease me about it.. I forgot to thank him again... Finn : What's the matter Marron? What happened? Marron : That's right, Finn was here.. that's funny, I'm strong now [thinks] night time shouldn't scare me any more... Miyako : Hey? They're gone! Mmm, Marron!! She went off ahead again! Marron : Wow!! What an amazing view! [they are on a ferris wheel] Chiaki : It doesn't beat your under wear view, Marron. Marron : Don't mention that--!! Chiaki : Oh yeah, have you thought about it? Marron : What? Chiaki : Going out with me Marron : What? Were you serious about that? Chiaki : Of course! It was a confession of my love! Marron : [thinks] ...ug... I hate his eyes...I feel as though he can see through everything... Marron : [aloud] .... do you see that merry-go-round? Chiaki : mm-hmm Marron : My father used to work at a theme park, when he was younger. He moved merry-go-rounds Chiaki : mm-hmm Marron : One day, after the rain had let up, there was a woman who was staring at the merry-go- round... When he called her, she told him she was worried that if she rode on it, mud would splash onto her long skirt. So my father...he crawled on his hands and knees to be her footstool... Then after a couple of months, my father was employed at an architecture company. And he was asked to remodel that theme park. Then... [flashabck] Marron's mother : 'May I help with this job? I'm a freelance architect....oh!' Marron : ... What do you think? Wasn't it fate? That woman is of course, my mother. But, ever since i could remember, my parents relationship was falling apart and before I turned 10, they both used their jobs as an excuse so they could separate and they went away overseas. Leaving me by myself..... I.. don't understand "Love" very well.. no one taught me...When I first met you Chiaki, I thought you were good looking and cool. You're not a bad person. But I'm sorry, but I can't trust you.... Is it human to love someone so easily? Is that why we can also hate each other just as easily? Chiaki : I... Marron : [thinks] A black out? (there are screams of confusion from the theme park visitors) Marron : [thinks] It must be the evil spirit posessing Minazuki kun! Which means the painting is here! *gasp* Maybe.. it must that painting from before! Marron : [aloud] It's so dark, we can't see anything. Chiaki : Yeah. Marron : It's best not to say or do anything at times like these.. *grin* Chiaki : Okay... Marron : [thinks] Bye bye -- !!! Marron : Finn! Wake up! I found out where the painting is! Let's go! Chiaki : Taking such risks.. We're going too Acess! Acess : All righty! Miyako : Why is there suddenly a black out? [the arrival notice hits miyako] Jeanne's arrival notice!? Jeanne : Reincarnated by God to seal evil..... Mysterious Thief Jeanne! Sent by God, I have been called! I'm going into the haunted house again! Miyako : What do you mean? Jeanne : That's the painting Finn! [thinks] A black pin!? [aloud] I won't let you be in the way! Sinbad! Are you trying to get in my way again!? Sinbad : In your way? That's unthinkable Jeanne : Sorry, but.... I'll make you stay quiet and watch me for a while! Yay!! Super long rope counter-plan worked! That rope will take 15 minutes to untie! That's long enough for me! I won't let any evil spirits escape! Give up now! [thinks] Minazuki kun! Minazuki(Evil spirit) : Even if you seal me, his heart will remain weak and won't change. He will be posessed by different spirits over and over. It's useless. Finn : Jea... Sinbad : Jeanne! Don't be deceived! Evil spirit : What you're doing is.... Jeanne : You talk too much! Check mate! Minazuki : ...ug... Jeanne : You there! Do you know the meaning of being weak? It's people who always say "I can't". Those kinds of people don't necessarily mean the "can't" but they don't. There's nothing you can't do without trying. If you want to be strong like me, you shouldn't run away, but challenge things! Minazuki : Jeanne! Miyako : ....hm!... sending out an arrival notice immediately before attacking! That's not fair! Sinbad : This time was a defeat... Minazuki : Sinbad! Um...! Sinbad : What Jeanne says has some principle, Minazuki Minazuki : eh? Jeanne : Tonight, I have stolen the deception of beauty! Marron : Finally, the black out's over Chiaki : Now it's safe to talk Chiaki and Marron : [thinks] Phew, that was dangerous -- Minazuki : [cheery] Good morning! Chiaki : Good Marron : mor- Miyako : -ning Marron : What's the matter Minazuki kun? What are you doing here so early? Minazuki : I wanted to tell you my decision ASAP! I'm going to capture Sinbad for you, Marron san! Marron : Eh? Why? Minazuki : You wanted to know about him didn't you? So I'll capture him for you! And if I succeed, will you..... [Chiaki cuts Minazuki short] Chiaki : Kiss me? Minazuki : What are you saying Nagoya kun? Chiaki : What? You were seducing Marron the other day Minazuki : I haven't done such a thing! Marron : [thinks] Oh.. I forgot to check the mailbox yesterday... a letter!? .... no, just a piece of paper..? [Image] (on the piece of paper it reads) I won't give up! For now, I'll put these notes in your mailbox so when you check it, you won't be sad. -> Chiaki Marron : [thinks] What on earth is he thinking... Chiaki : What is it Marron? Marron : I told you before it's none of your business! Chiaki : [thinks] .....I thought you'd say that... Marron : Thank you [smiles sweetly] (Chiaki's heart skips more than one beat this time ^^) Chiaki : It's only... false affection.... END OF CHAPTER 3
