Star Ocean 2 Second Evolution 2

Hah~~~ Gosh, I think I’m already braindead with some of the terms that I can’t explain that well with my English, but I guess I’m wrong if SFX gets in the way then. Anyway, I think I only use . . . 15(?) SFX translation in this chapter and I feel pathetic for that (always the same word, which makes me feel really bad and stupid >_<”)

Anyway, I did promised that I’ll get it done today because it’s Thursday, and I got nothing to do for 6 hours and I can’t play ToI and ToW:RM for the whole time (will be really bored doing so, even though I totally over-level myself in ToI because people keep on saying that lv. 30-40 is enough to clear the game, but I still think I need to get to lv.70-80 before going into the Tower of Dawn or that Forbidden Guild Distinct. Gosh, it will be so long before I can complete the game for real . . . =_=”). Regardless, it is done. Good that SO2 doesn’t seem to have that much SFX, but those not very many is what I have problem with most . . . -_-“ Sorry, Rena~~~~ >_<”

So~ one monthly stuff done for me, which once again reminds me that I got to get ToD: DC out already. 2 more hours before class begins . . . Enjoy while I’m bored waiting for my class then~ XD

I’m curious about that stone . . .
Alen – I did that!?
I can’t remember anything ever since I picked up that stone . . . I’m really sorry

Rena – “Become weird and get frenzied” . . . that stone
Seemed just like Sorcery Globe

Claude - . . . Sorcery Globe, huh?

Pg. 30
Claude – I . . . am going to investigate about the Sorcery Globe
I never think of something as big as saving the world, but
I need something that is enough to get me back . . .

Ah, sorry. I was just talking to myself
Rena – Claude, you really are great

I
After I met you, I began to understand now

I can’t just wait forever
I need to get myself moving as well

Pg. 31
Rena – . . . Can you take me with you as well?

Claude – I can’t! This is not just for fun, OK?
Rena – I know that

Claude – You’re kidding

Rena – I’m not kidding

. . . Please listen
There is something I always want to know
Claude – Something you want to know . . . ?

*BOCHAN* (ripple)
Rena - . . . My mother

Pg. 32
Is not my real mother

Mother – I still haven’t told here. To that girl . . .
That she’s not my real daughter!!
That’s why, even if we promised that we will live happily together

Rena – My mother seems to think that I still didn’t know about that . . .
Mother – It’s good already if she will throw away that pendant of her real mother!

Claude – So you want to search for your real mother?

Rena - . . . No
I already have Mother Westa with me . . . that alone makes me happy enough
. . . But I

Pg. 33
What I really want to know . . .
Is “who really am I?”

. . . I always
Think that the warrior will come and save me

But deep somewhere in my heart, I really was scared to know the truth . . .
I always just wait for the answer to come without even have any bravery to get to it
But now

Pg. 34-35
I’ll never look away ever again
I promised

Claude
I want to go with you

Claude – You will need to get the permission from your mother first though, OK?

Rena – OK

Claude – It would be good if you find it . . . that answer
Rena – Yes . . . !

Pg. 36
Rena – I’m going now then!

Mother - . . . Rena!!

Rena – Don’t worry, mom
I’ll be with Claude, so don’t worry!

Mother - . . . Rena
I . . . got something I really need to tell you

I

Pg. 37
Rena – You can tell me all you want when I come back
I’ll come back fine certainly!

Mother – Rena . . . This can’t mean you already . . .

. . . Claude
Claude – Yes

Mother – Please
Take a good care of Rena

Pg. 38
Rena – Sorcery Globe fell on the town called Elria in the Continent of El
That’s our destination then

*ZA* (flap)

Celine – Stop right there!

Still no reward for me?
Then I’ll stick with you two for a bit then

** The one who stands before the two is the mysterious woman who helped Claude!? **
