Tenkyuugi -Sephirahnatus- 1

Super thanks to NymphStealer for the transcription

001
In a world of absolute rule of law

Laws must be manipulated -----

Tenkyuugi Sephirahnatus*
*translator's note: "Tenkyuugi" means celestial globe and "Sephirah" is the singular form of Sephirot, which is a list of ten things that have something to do with God in Kabbalah. Go ask Madonna. "Natus" could be the Latin word meaning born/made/destined.

Spring break is sooo short ----

No way - that Nanao!?

006

1
Nanao: That's an awful thing to say to a childhood friend.

Kisa: Who!! We were just acquaintances!! Acquaintances!!

2
Nanao: Even though we got so much bigger, I recognized you in a second.

Kisa: Oh.
I didn't want you to recognize me.
sfx: slam

4
Kisa: How long are you going to follow me!!

5
Nanao: I thought we always went places together.
Hey, class assignments.

Kisa: Ah -------

6
Nanao: People's heads are in the way.

Kisa: Hmm.
Looks like 5cm of height is a big difference.

007

1
Kisa: I'm in
Nanao: I'm in
Both: Class 4.

2
Nanao: Hey -- d'you think this is fate? ♡

Kisa: Absolutely not!!
Ahhhhhh - !! Where did my wonderful life go!!
sfx: waaaaaaaaa

3
Nanao: I don't think you hate me that much.
I haven't done anything yet, have I?
sfx: sigh

4
Kisa: Yet, you said. That's the problem!!
"Yet"!!

Nanao: Huh?
Huh?
Huh?

008

1
Nanao: What's wrong?

Girl: Oh.
My name's not...

2
Nanao: No problem. We'll search for it together.
Name?

Kisa: You bring me into this so nonchalantly.

3
Nanten: Yes - !!
Call me Nanten.

4
Nanao: Nanten...
Nanten.

Kisa: Same as ever.

5
Nanao: Wh ----- Kisa-chan, that's awful.
If that girl's in trouble, I think we have to help her.

Kisa: You have too much of a criminal record.
You'll get yourself in trouble!!

009

1
Nanao: So -- I'm on lookout.

You're not on lookout when you're not doing anything.

board: Nanten Class 4

2
Nanten: I was feeling lonely by myself.
I'm happy I'm in a class with you two.

3
Kisa: sigh

Nanao: Well then, shall we go together?

Nanten: Yes -- !!

010

2
Roll call is finished. Please meet in the auditorium in your formal attire. The ceremony is starting.

3
Nanao: The ceremony should be fun, shouldn't it?
It seems like it should be.
sfx: glare glare

4
You're in the way!!
sfx: bam

Ah -- !!

011

1
Kisa: Nanten -- !!

Nanao: You okay!?

Karakane-san was trying to get through. You were just standing there.

2
Hmph...really.
They let a low-level like her in.
sfx: open

3
Nanao: Your eyes are small. Like fish who live really deep under the sea.
You weren't watching where you were going --- talking about things like levels.

4
Dude: What'd you say!?

Nanao: Gonna do something?

Karakane: Stop it. You should be ashamed of yourself.

5
Karakane: They were rude to you.
I apologize for them.

Karakane-san!!

012

1
Nanao: Oh -- I see.
He's a fish but he's goldfish shit.*
*translator's note: an idiom meaning a hanger-on, a tagalong.

Kisa: Hey, Nanao!! Aren't you saying too much!?

2
sfx: brush

3
Karakane: Let's go.

I'll remember this!!

4
What a nasty guy!!

013

1
Nanten: Nanao, I'm sorry. That was my fault...

Nanao: Nanten, you've got nothing to be sorry for.
They're the ones who started it.

2
Kisa: But you sure have a way of putting things.

3
Nanao: What were you watching!!
I thought I made the right choice. The right choice!!

4
Nanao: Nyaaah --

Kisa: It was still wrong-- !!

014

1
Nanao: I heard this was a prestigious school!!

Kisa: More than anything, I'm shocked you're here.

2
Nanao: Why?

Kisa: Why, you say? Because they say less than twenty percent of the applicants get in.

3
Nanao: Yup!! To tell you the truth, I'm shocked too.
Perhaps I should say it's the sheer power of luck?

4
Kisa: For God's sake, don't tell me all the effort I put in was for nothing!!

015

1
...Nah.
It's all really pompous, isn't it?

2
Kisa: Don't you know anything?
That's the symbol scanning.

Nanao: Symbol scanning?

3
Kisa: In this world there are ten heavenly laws and twenty-two earthly laws. You know that.
sfx: flip

4
Nanao: Yeah, I know that.
sfx: flip

016
1
The heavenly laws are of the gods, so we can't even fathom them.

On the other hand, the earthly laws are of humans.

There are twenty-two symbols of the earthly laws.

017
Up right bubble:
For example
The first law is called "Beth"*
*translator's note: All of the laws are named after letters of the Hebrew alphabet, but use the kanji (characters) of a celestial body. The 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet can correspond to the 22 Major Arcana Tarot Cards, which each corresponds to/are ruled by some kind of celestial body. So while the first law is pronounced "Beth," it uses the characters for the planet Mercury, which corresponds to the The Magician tarot card.

Up left bubble:
The second law is called "Gimel"*
And so on.
*translator's note: uses the characters for the moon, corresponds to the High Priestess tarot card.

Center bubble:
From the first, "Beth," to the twenty-second, "Tav."*
*translator's note: uses the characters for Saturn, corresponds to the World tarot card.

Bottom right bubble:
There are only laws of perfection. By the law of "Ayn Sof"* the world came into existence.
*translator's note: uses the characters for "air." Ayn Sof is the "divine origin of all created existence" and "the emanator of the sefirot" (thanks, Wikipedia!). "Air" should correspond to The Fool Tarot Card, which corresponds to the Hebrew letter Aleph, which are the only letters/cards not on the wheel.

Bottom left bubble:
In short.

Translator's Notes for the wheel: First, again, thank you to NymphStealer for translating the planet/sign names. Only the characters for the planet/sign names are given, but I am assigning the Hebrew letters (names) and Tarot Cards to them based on Tarot Card lore. They should be correct.

水星 beth (mercury/the magician)
月 gimel (moon/high priestess)
金星 daleth (venus/the empress)
白羊宮 heh (aries/the emperor)
金牛宮 vau (taurus/the hierophant)
双児宮 zain (gemini/the lovers)
巨蟹宮 cheth (cancer/the chariot)
獅子宮 teth (leo/stregth)
処女宮 yod (virgo/the hermit)
木星 kaph (jupiter/the wheel of fortune)
天秤宮 lamed (libra/justice)
水銀 mem (mercury (the metal, like quicksilver)/the hanged man) translator's note - the hanged man usually corresponds to either water or neptune. but the character of water is in mercury - the characters are "water" and "silver"
天蝎宮 nun (scorpio/death)
人馬宮 samech (sagittarius/temperance)
磨羯宮 ayin (capricorn/the devil)
火星 peh (mars/the tower)
宝瓶宮 tzaddi (aquarius/the star)
双魚宮 qoph (pisces/the moon)
太陽 resh (sun/the sun)
冥王星 shin (pluto/judgement)
wheel center: 土 星 tav (saturn/the world)

018

1
Kisa: The ceremony is to find out which symbol one inherently possesses.
Got it, Nanao?

2
Nanao: Mmm-hmm.
sfx: yaaaaaaaaawn

Kisa: Hey!! Are you even listening!!

3
But still, the ritual works like that.
It definitely is a very grand ceremony.

4
Since there was a lot of anxiety the first time it was invoked
I think it's like insurance in case something happens.

19

1
---- Anxiety?

3
Thou great visitor from on high, we extol you for coming amongst us.
----Asei of Kagarigusa.

---Yes.

sfx: cha pi

whoosh

21

1
Vau*
*translator's note: the characters say taurus, which corresponds to the hierophant card.
sfx: shine shine

2
Kisa: Nanao!! That's the symbol charm of the conjurer.
The Arumira Note.


4
Kisa: The symbol charm is used as the medium
By the conjurer who invokes the magic

22

1
Nanao: ?
Some kind of diagram is floating in mid-air.

2
Kisa: Oh.
That's the pattern of the corresponding symbols of the twenty-two laws.

Kisa: That is, one's ability.

3
Vau

4
Nanten: Vau again.

5
Kisa: Speaking of which, that's only a constellation of stars.
There's only so many celestial bodies.

6
Kisa: Among the celestial bodies, the Zero Principle is called "Ayn Sof," and is seemingly equal to the perfect law of "Tav," which does not come forth.

Nanten: Is it like a lottery?

23

1
------Zain*
*translator's note: uses the characters for gemini, corresponds to the lovers tarot card.

------Zain

2
sfx: Hmm ---

3
sfx: zzz

4
Kisa: Wake up!!
small text: you've been asleep the whole time
sfx: smack

Nanao: Hmm?
sfx: blink

5
Nanten

sfx: surprise

sfx: run run run

sfx: grin

Please calm down!!

Calm down!!

It was them!!!

029

Nanao: Nanten!!

sfx: smack

030

sfx: dun dun dun

2
Nanao: Nanten -- !!

3
That.....

4
Ayn Sof!!
written text: how....

031

1
What!?
That's not the Ayn Sof!?

Yes, it is.

2
I see.....
Since that's the symbol of Ayn Sof...

What does it mean!?

3
The ability to use Ayn Sof is the Zero Principle.
It holds predominance over all of the other symbols and can invalidate the abilities of the other symbols.

Now that he is experiencing the symbol scanning in the water basin
His unconsciousness is activating as he uses his abilities.

032

1
sfx: stagger

2
It's no good!! It's not enough!!

Watch out!! Get back!!

3
Kisa: You idiot!

It's no use!!

Nanao: They said to get back.
If I step away, I think it will get out of control again.

Kisa: Know your own ability!! Idiot!

Nanao: Kisa!!

036

1
Ouuuuuuuch!!
sfx: wrap warp

2
Kisa: You got hit back there!!
Your fingernails are all smashed.
sfx: bang

Nanao: Gaaah -- !!

3
Kisa: What are you so sad about? I had to bandage you up.
sfx: blow blow

4
Nanao: Don't you get mad!!
I've already been scolded by all the teachers in the place, haven't I?

5
Nanao: I'm telling you, that was ridiculous ---- that frickin' school entrance ceremony.
Right -? Nanten.

Kisa: Twitch

037

1
Kisa: If you hadn't called him something like Goldfish Shit, this wouldn't have happened!!

Nanao: But you just called him Goldfish Shit, didn't you?

2
Kisa: That shit's neither here nor there.
sfx: hmmph

Nanao: Should I of called him something like Shadow Mouth?
sfx: sigh

3
Kisa: You pretty much haven't changed at all!!

Kisa: Charging ahead without asking, always getting me involved!!

4
Kisa: Thanks to you, I got scolded this early in the year, didn't I?!!

038

Kisa: Goddaaaaaamnit!!
My bittersweet campus life. My rosy schedule.
sfx: flop flop

3
sfx: clap
Kisa: Huh?

You...If it wasn't the ability of Ayn Sof, what did you intend to do?

5
sfx: grin

6
Don't tell me.
Did you already know?

039

1
Nanao: Did you think my showy performance was entertaining? ♡Kisa♡♡♡
sfx: grin

2
Nanao: Huh? Aren't you surprised?
Kisa: Wait a minute!!

3
Kisa: What are you saying!! Nanao!!
Explain yourself!!

Nanao: Well ---- campus life is going to last a long time, so come on. ♡

Kisa: Don't screw with me!!

Ayn Sof...

All of the symbols' abilities have been rendered invalid. Only one ability --
Zero Principle.

Unknowingly provided by someone, therefore

We know not where to turn.

We shall not falter in our vigilance.
