Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne Author: Tanemura Arina Translator: Emi-chan Chapter 5 -- A Diorama of the sky and the sea (Sora to umi no jiorama) Emi chan's note : in japanese, brute/beast and fruit sound the same. Brute is kedamono, fruit is kudamono this'll make more sense later down the translation ^^; note : text in [] are actions --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Memory) Sinbad : I want you to stop being a mysterious thief...... Sinbad : You said you would do whatever I said [Jeanne is taken aback] Jeanne : What are you saying? That's not a valid favour! Sinbad : My purpose therefore my mission is to make you stop being a mysterious theif. I want you to listen to me. [Jeanne sticks her tongue out "be--da"] Jeanne : No! Jeanne : Anyway.... why did you kiss me? Sinbad : ...it was a just an impulse [Jeanne blushes embarrassed and angrily] [Jeanne swings her hand to slap him, Sinbad holds her hand back] Jeanne : I hate you! I will never stop! I won't forgive whoever it is who tries to steal my crucifix! Sinbad : What about the promise? Jeanne : That kiss makes us even! Sinbad : Very well then [Jumps off the roof] [Jeanne is crying slightly] Jeanne : what... idiot... [thinks] A kiss.... it was for the first time... [Chiaki's face pops up in her head and startles her] Jeanne : [thinks] Why did Chiaki's face pop up? Finn : Jeanne! Jeanne : Finn Finn : Jeanne.... don't go anywhere near that person! Sinbad is our enemy! [Sinbad is running hard, out of breath. He slams his fist onto a wall] Sinbad : [recalls Jeanne's words] I hate you! Access : I was watching that [Sinbad freezes guiltily] Sinbad : A-access.... [Access is blushing] Access : Oi Sinbad! You helped Jeanne and you also kissed her! What are you doing!? [The phrase 'kissed her' is in smaller print, Tanemura's note: He's too embarrassed to shout it loudly *laugh*] Access : Ju--st kidding! [pokes his tongue out cheekily] Access : [with flowers around him] Hey hey, you can like her you know? That'll give you more enthusiasm when you do your job Sinbad : Shut up! [contemplating] You know I wouldn't be serious with only one girl (Jeanne is still on the roof) Jeanne : The devil is using Sinbad....? Finn : Yes! The Black Angel called Access was nearby and that's proof! Just like God, the devil's started to vanquish evil spirits as well. Jeanne : Hang on Finn.... The devil was the one who trapped evil spirits in the paintings of the human world, right? Why does he want to vanquish them? Finn : The devil not only wants to absorb God's source and life 'the pure hearts of humans', to weaken God, but he wants to vanquish them all and make them into his power, I think Jeanne : So if the God side recovers the devil, the power will return to God. If the devil side recovers, God will lose his power and on top of that, the devil will become stronger.... I see... Jeanne : [thinks] I see... he's the enemy... that's why he wants me to stop being a mysterious thief... Hm! Either way, I still won't forgive him! Whatever happens, I'll continue being a mysterious thief! [Jeanne is struggling over a wall with one leg] Finn : ..... What are you doing? (in small print) Is this a new game you invented? Jeanne : I twisted my ankle a little Finn : What!? Didn't you say you had a gymnastic contest next week? [Jeanne gasps, sudden realisation of her misfortune] Jeanne : Aaaaaaaaaah -----!!! [Jeanne is standing, trembling and holding her head] (printed) The day of the contest Access : Hey Chiaki, I want some juice to drink -- Chiaki : Yes, yes (Chiaki is walking with Access floating around his head. Chiaki notices something.) [Minazuki kun is running] [Chiaki trips him over] Chiaki : [sings] Mi-na-zu-ki-kun! [Minazuki kun falls flat on his face] Chiaki : Morning (small print : Access can not be seen by normal humans) Minazuki : Na-na-na-nagoya kun! Can't you even say a greeting normally!? [Chiaki leans into Minazuki, holding Minazuki's chin with his hand] Chiaki : Morning *love heart* Minazuki : [blushing] Is that your perception of normal!? (added in small print) I'm not a girl! Chiaki : Anyway, where are you going? Minazuki : Didn't you know? There's a gymnastics contest, Marron san is entering... Chiaki : A gymnastics contest? And Marron's....entering? Minazuki : [with love hearts around his speech] Of course! She's the relied upon ace! Chiaki : Where is it? Minazuki : It seems to be Biwa Senior High School, but I don't know how to get there... [Chiaki sprints away] Chiaki : I know! We're going! [thinks] She's injured but she's being unreasonable again Access : Are you worrying over that girl again? What is it this time? Chiaki : ........ [slaps Access away] Chiaki : It's an obligation to be human! (in the background) Minazuki : Please wait Nagoya kun----! [Access grins] Access : He's losing it... he's losing his cool... (the building of Biwa SHS) Chiaki : [thinks] I have to make her stop! Marron! [Chiaki runs in] [Marron is dancing her routine with extreme confidence. This is a really pretty drawing!!] [Chiaki stands with disbelief and amazement] Minazuki : She's so pretty! Marron san! Lovely --! Chiaki : .... She's similar, her expressions when she's Jeanne... Minazuki : eh? [Chiaki walks away] (announcement of score) Contestant Kusakabe's score is 9.85 points [Marron's ankle is swelling with pain] Marron : [thinks] It's getting worse... it looks bad... I don't even have enough strength to talk Miyako : [flipping Marron's score to 0] 0 points will do for Marron! 0 points! Marron : Stop it --!! A voice : Being the friendly pair, as usual Marron and Miyako : Biwa SHS's Sazanka Yashiro! Yashiro : Long time no see. You two, my old enemy brutes [Marron and Miyako both pause : "B-R-U-T-E-"] [the two dress up in fruit costumes] Yashiro : Not fruit--!! Biwa SHS girls whisper : It's good that our place was chosen to hold the contest, but what if our precious painting might be stolen by students from other schools.... another girl : Yes, the rumour has gone around... Since Yashiro sama bought that painting, we've been training flat out... Minazuki : Marron san!!! (with hearts) Marron : Minazuki kun! You came.... [Marron sees Chiaki] Marron : [thinks] Chiaki! [imagines when Sinbad kissed her and blushes] [she turns away] [Chiaki is wondering what the matter is] Marron : [thinks] Oh no...I turned away really obviously... I don't know why, but I feel like I have to turn my back against him....Why do I have to feel guilty about Chiaki because I've kissed someone else--- (small print) Chiaki : What's the matter Marron? Minazuki : Marron san? Chiaki : Did you eat something funny? Marron : It's nothing! Leave me alone! [Yashiro is staring] [Chiaki is shocked] Chiaki : [thinks] Uh oh.... [makes a run for it] Yashio : Wait! Please wait! [her eyes sparkle] Yashiro : [smiling contentedly] Do you not remember the face of your fiance? Chiaki san? Marron : [thinks] eh? [Chiaki stops dead in his tracks] (note in box) To avoid confusion, his nick name has been used. Miyako : Chi-sama's Marron : Chia-king's Minazuki : Nagoyan's All three : Fiance!? Chiaki : [turning back relucstantly] ...Yashiro.. [Marron looks hurt] Marron : [thinks] Well.... so you do have somebody... Minazuki : Nagoya kun, did you go to such a rich school? (added in small print) That's how you knew the place! Chiaki : (in small print) well... yeah Miyako : (in small print with love hearts in her eyes) wow--!! Yashiro : Whatever you would like to do anywhere is up to you, but having to have to marry because of our household, for my sake --- [Chiaki walks away with Minazuki and Miyako clung onto his arms saying "wow"] Yashiro : Are you listening to me!? Chiaki : Sorry, we'll talk about that later okay? Chiaki : [looks around] Marron? Hm? [sees Marron walking out of the stadium] Chiaki : Marron! Wait! Yashiro : Chiaki sa---! [Miyako drops gymnastics balls on Yashiro] Yashiro : What are you doing? Miyako : We-ll, Chiaki doesn't like it! Can't you see? Yashiro : [smiling evilly] Oh... so you like Chiaki san too.... Chiaki : Marron, Marron! You're foot..... Marron : Well good for you! You got to meet with your pretty fiance again! [Chiaki cracks up laughing] Marron : What? Chiaki : Are you jealous? Marron : No! [someone runs in] someone : Marron! It's an emergency! Miyako... [Miyako's hand is twisted in a bandage] Doctor : Complete recovery will take 2 weeks Pakyamarao sensei : You'll have to sit out Miyako : What? I don't want to! Marron : Don't be silly Miyako! It'll strain your hand too much when you throw and catch! Miyako's dad : Please stay quiet, Miyako (Other girls from their school acting all goody goody) Girls : But we saw it! Sazanka san (Ysahiro) purposely stepped on (Miyako) Toudaiji san's foot! [Marron senses something] Girls : We have to dob her in to the staff! Marron : Don't... Chiaki : [talks over Marron] Don't. Yashiro has pride, but she knows right from wrong... she wouldn't do that Girls : sorry... Chiaki : Anyway, your cute faces are wasted. Smile! Girls : [dazed at Chiaki's handsome smile] Yes! Marron : [thinking] I see... Chiaki is kind to anyone.. it's the same with any girl... Why did I think that I was the only one who was special? Miyako : Marron, please win Marron : huh? Minazuki : That's right! Toudaiji san's sitting out so in this situation, the only way to win is for unbeatable and wonderful Marron san! Marron : Uh... wait.... Chanting : Ma-rro-n! Ma-rro-n! Ma-rro-n! Ma-rro-n! Marron : Well....uhhh .... well... le-leave it to me! [cheers] Marron : .... even though I said it... well... I'll be fine! I can do it! [a hand grabs Marron's ankle] [Marron screams, her ankle red... she falls over] Chiaki : What's fine? Marron : Chiaki! Chiaki : Show me your foot, you're injured right? Marron : It doesn't matter! [Chiaki grabs Marron's ankle again....Marron screams, her ankle red... she falls over] Chiaki : [thinks] This could be fun.. [Marron's foot is all bandaged] Chiaki : All done Marron : [thinking] Wow... it doesn't hurt at all! Chiaki : Why didn't you tell them it might not be possible for you to win? Marron : Because... Miyako asked me to.... Chiaki : Miyako? Marron : Yes! That arrogant, irrational and always-flying-insults Miyako who has come across our paths! [seriously] .... She hardly ever asks me any favours..so I've always promised myself since I was young that whenever she asks me any favours, I'll do my best to help Chiaki : You're very kind Marron Marron : You're the one who's kind to girls, Chiaki. But if you're like this to all the girls, your fiance will hate you Chiaki : Wait a sec! She's my 'former' fiance.... it's been over and done with.. we were arranged without any concern to our true feelings... Marron : Really? It wasn't really was it? Chiaki : Marro-- Marron : Anyway! It's got nothing to do with me so please don't do anything special for me any more! It's annoying! [Chiaki's eyes scowl] [he slams his hands against the wall] Chiaki : I told you it's nothing! [Marron's heart skips a beat] Marron : We-well... okay, get away from me! [Marron pushes Chiaki away] [Chiaki contemplates a while, then walks away] [Marron blushes] [some other girls walk up to her] girl 1 : What's the matter Marron? Marron : what? girl 1 : I've never seen Nagoya kun so serious! girl 2 : yeah, he's alway cool about everything! Marron : but.. just a while ago at the health centre.... about Yashiro... girl 1 : But he didn't shout did he? girl 2 : Yeah, and he was calm then... really, Nagoya kun... I wonder what happened.. [Marron is still blushing] Marron : [thinks]The misunderstanding.... he wanted to undo my misunderstanding.. because I thought Chiaki was a flirt... that's why... he tried to make me understand. Is that why he got so serious? Did he dislike it so much? To be misunderstood be "me"? [Marron leans against Chiaki's back] Chiaki : Marron? Marron : Stay like that! [Chiaki turns back straight away] Marron : I'm sorry.... saying that you were a nuisance...I was lying.. I'm thankful whenever you rescue me.. [Marron runs out in front] Marron : Watch! I'll try my very best! (Marron is out on the mat) announcement : Number 15. Momokuri Academy, Kusakabe Marron san Marron : [thinking while she does her routine] Hey Chiaki. If it's only a little bit, I'll trust you. I can trust your serious feelings. "Humans don't easily fall in love...so they don't easily hate either" I want to believe that again.... make me believe it.. (Chiaki notices, standing on the side. Yashiro is holding a pair of scissors) Chiaki : [thinks] Yashiro? How dangerous... holding a pair of scissors... Wait! She couldn't have......? (a girl runs into the stadium) girl : Oh no! Maron : Our gymnastics music tapes have been damaged, our ribbons have been cut.... (girl is crying behind her) Marron : Okay, for now, wind up the tapes again, quickly! And check if any sound plays! Girl : What about the ribbons? Marron : We'll have to use our practice ones! Marron : [thinks] Hey? Where's Chiaki? [The crucifix beeps] Marron : [thinks]The crucifix..... it's reacting.... [Yashiro comes in] Yashiro : Oh my, whatever is the matter? [Marron is standing, looking depressing with the beeping, staring at Yashiro] Yashiro : What is it? [Marron comes closer, with her depressing stare with the beeping again] Yashiro : What is it!? Marron : Sorry, sorry Yashiro : What's that sound? Marron : My pocket bell (like a pager) Marron : [thinks] It can't be a mistake.... Yashiro's been posessed! [Marron runs out, thinking "I have to inform Finn!"] [Marron sees a floating thing and follows it] Marron : [thinks] Finn! So she is here! Marron : Fi-- Voice : You're late Access! [Marron sees Chiaki] Marron : [thinks] Chiaki? And.. Access is the Black Angel that Finn was talking about... Chiaki : Where's the painting? Access : It's hung on the wall of the gymnasium Chiaki : Right! [Chiaki is holding a rosary] Marron : [thinks] Is that... a rosary? It couldn't be... Chiaki : Let's go [Chiaki transforms into Sinbad] [Finn pops up behind Marron] Finn : There you are! Marron! I found the evil spirit! Quickly! Marron!? Marron : [dazed] Uh, yeah... [thinks] What was that? What was that!? The crowd : First place is Biwa SHS's Sazanka, 2nd place is Momokuri Acadeny's Kusakabe. I wish they'd start the final round soon.... [the light disappears] The crowd : eh? A black out? Announced : Reincarnated by God to seal evil..... Mysterious Thief Jeanne! Sent by God, I have been called! [Jeanne is holding a microphone] The crowd : It's Jeanne! Is it the real one? [Yashiro steps in front of Jeanne] [Yashiro's eyes look dull] Jeanne : [thinks] Yashiro! The evil spirit really is.... [a gas is sprayed around the gym] Jeanne : [turns] what? Yashiro (in evil spirit voice) : If any normal human breathes it, they fall asleep [smirks] Die! [Jeanne turns back and realises that a dozen batons are flying to her, but it's too late] Jeanne :[thinks] oh no! [Jeanne has her hands to her head, crouching] [There is a lot of thuds] [Jeanne opens her eyes slowly and sees Sinbad] [His back looks badly bruised] Sinbad : Are you all right? Marron : [thinks, blushing] Again.... he rescued me again... [aloud] --a--ki.... Chiaki--... END OF CHAPTER 5 V-chan notes: These color changes are taking forever!
