| When you know that I have no life at all...took 35 minutes. In Brief: I had a strange dream yesterday. A very warm, nostalgic, unexplainably strange dream. Aika: Hmmm, Cait Sith? Akari: Yea, I was wondering how come I haven't been able to meet him recently... Aika: Hmmm...maybe you may no longer be able to meet him. Akari: Ehhh, how come? Aika: Because Cait Sith is the King of the Cats, a fairy right? Akari: Yea... Aika: You see, they say fairies maybe something which you can see as a child but anymore not when you become an adult. We want to become a Prima, which also means we want to become a mature adult right? Cait Sith may not want to give a bad influence on you and may be being considerate by not meeting. Akari: If that's the case, the more I want to meet him one last time. Alice:The neverending waterway. The Cassanova of the Carnevale. The Coffee Shop of the mirage. The Galaxy Railway running in the night sky. Isola San Michele's rumours. I'm thinking these 5 are all part of the 7 wonders of Neo-Venezia. Akari: Neo-Venezia's 7 wonders? Aika: Oh yea, the bedtime stories. I heard them often during my childhood. It's said nobody in town knows all 7 stories right? Alice: Yep, I only knew around 3. If my hypothesis is correct, Akari-senpai has already experienced 5 of them, and on top of that all of them involve cat fairies. So we must be hugely cautious of Cait Sith's intentions. Akari: Hohe, how come? Alice: You see, it is often said that something terrible happens if one experiences all 7 wonders. Akari: Hohe~~ I see. Aika: What's with that face? (At Alice) Alice: Oh yea, there is a 7 wonders spot close to here. Aika/Akari: What? Alice: Let's take a look. Aika/Akari: Whaaaat? Akari: Hold on, hold on. Aika: Geez, and you told us to be cautious just a while ago. Alice: See, it's just over there. That's one of Neo-Venezia's 7 wonders, the "Stone of Misfortune". Aika: Oh yea, I know about that stone. It's a recreation of the story of the famous stone from Man-Home. Akari: Hohe~~, everyone's avoiding it while walking. Alice: Yep, for some reason, it's said something bad will happen if you step on it. Aika: Hmmm, what do you mean by bad? Alice: Well, it's just bad things. That's how the story goes. Akari: Hmmm, it's a somewhat scary story isn't it? Aika: ...hey Kouhai-chan? Aika: What on earth are you doing, you little girl? Alice: It's hugely ok. I've stepped on it many times as a child and nothing happened. Aika: What!? Alice: It's a shame I do not know all 7 wonders. Aika: It's fine not knowing them! Akari: Hey, look at the time. Aika-chan, don't you have to teach your juniors at your company today? Aika: Nuna, I've forgotte. Alice: I have school soon. Aika: So see you, practice properly even by yourself. Alice: I'll see you again at tomorrow's practice. Akari: Yeeees! Ok, time to practice and aim for Prima! Akari (thinking): The endless waterway. Akari: It's locked, Aria-shachou. Akari: Aria-shachou, do you remember here? It's where we bumped into Cassanova's band during the Carnevale. It seems like a completely different place during the day. Akari: The cafe of mirage. Akari: The Galaxy Railway that runs across the night sky. Akari: The graveyard island, Isola San Michele. It was so scary that night that I didn't realise it's such a pretty place. "They say you stop seeing thse things as you become an adult" "It is said something terrible will happen if one experiences all 7 wonders." *Neo-Venezia's 7 wonders* Alice: ...so there's the possibility that Akari-senpai has already experienced the city's 5 out of 7 wonders. Athena: Hmm, how amazing. Oh yea, I've been told by my grandmother as a child about one of Neo-Venezia's wonders. Athena: "How come there are so many cats in Neo-Venezia?" In the Venezia of Man-Home, a large number of cats were released to get rid of the rats that carried pest diseases, which is why the city ended up with so many stray cats. But there is no such necessity in Aqua's Neo-Venezia, but how come there are still so many cats? Athena: That is because this city's guardian is the King of Cats, Cait Sith. So if you ever meet Cait Sith in this city, that is something extremely honourable and wonderful thing. Athena: What's the matter, Alice-chan? *Alice: The existance of Cait Sith itself is the last of the 7 wonders? Then Akari-senpai has already experienced 6...* Alice: Athena-senpai, the 7 wonders, it's said that if you experience all 7, something terrible would occur right? Akari: Hmm, as expected nothing happens...a pity and a relief at the same time. Akari: Hohe~? Akari: I'm happy! I finally managed to meet you! I was looking for you the whole day today. I'm really happy that I could meet you again. Akari: Oh, I'll come meet you next time. Where do I have to go so that I could meet you? Akari: We cannot meet again? Akari: Will be here, all the time? Akari: I won't forget. I'll never forget about you. Akari: So from now on, we'll always be together *here*. Aika: Let's start our combined practice with enthusiasm again today! *Akari: Aika-chan's usual ordering* Akari/Alice: ohhh... Aika: Voice is too soft. *Akari: Alice-chan's usual response* Akari/Alice: Dekkai-OHHHH *Akari: Our usual combined practice.* Alice: Hey Akari-senpai, about our conversation yesterday... Akari: Aika-chan, Alice-chan, let's become a wonderfuul Prima for sure. Aika: Ohh! No question about it. *With the repetition of day by day, we gradually become adults one day. I will never forget the passing days in Aqua. These very warm, nostalgic and precious days become a blue crystal. So please watch over us. We'll also be always together from now on.* |

| I've translated every speech bubble and thought processes in that chapter in that post. It's a direct translation from Japanese to English. Needs a Quality Check to shorten and improve the flow but everything should be in correct order. If you feel like using it, just add my forum nick into the credits. :P |

In Brief: I had a strange dream yesterday. A very warm, nostalgic, unexplainably strange dream. 前略【ぜんりゃく】 (n) first part omitted; salutation of brief letter There's these little bits of jargon which is beyond my level unfortunately. I'll do my best to fill in the missing stuff. |

| P81 - They are actually speech bubbles. Top right - Alice: I'm thinking these 5 are all part of the 7 wonders of Neo-Venezia. Top left - Aika: Oh yea, the bedtime stories. Aika's line is continued to middle left frame (Aika: I heard them often during my childhood. It's said that nobody in town knows all 7 stories right?) As for the thought bubble in middle panel of P81, it's actually Alice's line. Alice: Yep, I only knew around 3. If my hypothesis is correct, Akari-senpai has already experienced 5 of them) The little bit of Japanese text outside the bubble is still Alice: Alice: and on top of that all of them involve cat fairies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ P84 left-mid panel, they're actually speech bubbles. Left speech bubble = Alice: It's a shame I do not know all 7 wonders. Text on Alice's head = disappointed Right speech bubble = Aika: It's fine not knowing them! "Aika: Nuna, I've forgotte." nuna? "Akari (thinking): The endless waterway. Akari: It's locked, Aria-shachou." mid panel, thought text. also i assume aria-shachou's bubble is something "nyu"? or "pun nyu"? You forgot to give me page numbers! |

| P84 "Nuna" is one of Aika's catchphrases, much like Akari's "Hahi". Feel free to omit. P86 It's just dots. Usually means "no comment" although not necessarily in a negative tone like in English. |

| P111 - 4 thought bubbles vertically and this would probably be the best way to split. As the days go by We will eventually become adults These passing days on Aqua I will never forget ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- P112 Top right: These very warm, nostalgic and precious days Top left: Become engraved in my heart as a blue crystal* Bottom right: So please watch over me Bottom left: As we will always be together *From my experience of anime, blue has been used as a colour of beauty and pureness. |
