Rozen Maiden II 2

Here you are.
Tale 3 RAW is already out and Tale 4 is coming up, but it's the translation of Tale 2.

1. Fine to be used in scanlation/int translation, with credit cited
   
2. Proofreading recommended, especially grammar/sentence structure
   
3. Suggestion/Question welcomed, but note that I am busy
   
4. Keys for notes:
   1. y (/x) -> y can be replaced with x
      
   2. y (x) z -> x can be inserted between y and z
      
   3. (*x) -> notes
      
   
   

Note about Rozen Maiden Series:

1. The names of the dolls are spelled in Japanese pronounciation.
   
2. Since there are two Juns, "Shima.Jun" would be the 19-year-old Jun and "Sakura.Jun" the 14-year-old one.
   
3. I have seen only the RAW version of Rozen Maiden Season I, so forgive me if I misphrased some keywords like "Field of N".
   
4. Anyone free, providing a link for RAW might be helpful for scanlators I suppose.
   
5. It's labeled "seinen," but I don't think the genre really fits... so just don't be quick about this.

"Who is Shimada?

I had a hard time finding you.
There is not much time,
I will go straight to the point.

Kirakisho's power is too strong,
and Canaria and I cannot rescue
everyone.

Please help.

Jun Sakurada"

Shima.Jun- Jun Sakurada....me?
- This is the account I was using when I was in middle school...

03
- A mail from middle schooler me...?
- haha...
- I myself think it is stupid...
- but are you my past self...? ...here you go
phone- Yes. Do you remem(*cut off)
Shima.Jun- Wow
- He's quick
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- Do you remember the direct mail you got when you were in middle school?
- You are me in the world of "not winded"
- and I am in the world of "winded"
- The time goes by little differently... but I am your middle school self

04
Shima.Jun- If I could redo from that point of time...
- Impossible...
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- by the way... why were you writing "Shimada" in your doorplate?
Shima.Jun- It's only kept the doorplate of former resident...
- I can't bear dangling my personal information in front of the house
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- Personal Information? It's just a doorplate
- ...I feel like you are small. And you are my future self...
Shima.Jun- N...Not pretty... Was past me like this?
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- I will explain briefly

05-06
- There are seven Rozen Maidens in total
- First Doll: Suiginto
- Second Doll: Canaria
- Third Doll: Suiseiseki
- Forth Doll: Souseiseki
- Fifth Doll: Shinku
- Sixth Doll: Hinaichigo
- And the last, Seventh Doll Kirakisho... this one is a trouble
Shima.Jun- Yu... can't read
(*Ok, I don't know how to "translate" this one... the kanji for Kirakisho is "雪華綺晶," and the first kanji is normally read "Yuki." Since it is not normal to read those kanji "Kirakisho," Shima.Jun is perplexed)
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- The dolls are fighting under the "Alice Game"
- and scrambling over each others' Rosa Mistica, their crystal of soul___or something similar

07
- Only one winner could be the ultimate girl "Alice"
- The Dolls need human to transmit their powers for their fight
- and for each doll there will be one Master
- I became Shinku's master by "Winding"
- Do you understand?
Shima. Jun- Not really...
Phone(input)- "sort of"
Shima. Jun- well, I've been replying seriously, but
- isn't this trick just too foolish? A mail from past myself?

08
- ...oh well
- I will go on with you until you demand for money, buddy
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- Most of Dolls and Masters has been retired (/cannot move) due to Kirakisho's plan
- I will first rescue Shinku
- then make a contract of Rose once again
Shima. Jun- Ah
- There you go, a contranct
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- Oh, I gotta tell you one important thing right now
(Phone)- I am having a trouble so dy
Shima. Jun- ...what? is it a typo?
- Wait... where's the rest?

09
- *sigh* stupid
- must've been a trick after all
- Anyways, I gotta do something about the rest of parts of Shinku
- Only if I could get them...
- The right foot and the head...
- Right foot...
- and Head...
- ....
- Eh?

10
- Huh
- Wha
- Whaaa___
- Ah...
- Wha...eh?
- Uh...a dream?
- From where?
- to where?

11
- Sigh...
storekeeper- Wow
- You were there?
Shima.Jun- Yea...
storekeeper- Hey, it's a service job. Can't you do something to your moodiment?
Shima.Jun(thought)- It's moodiness, you fool...
Saitou- Thank you (/Good job)(*or whatever...some greeting for regarding hard works)
- Ah Sakurada-kun!
- thank you about yesterday's!
Shima. Jun- ah.. yea
storekeeper- Hey Saitou-chan you've done great!
- Sorry about yesterday, my friend was just too noisy for me to come
Saitou- well...

12
sfx- pi pi pi
shopkeeper- you again? Set to vibe mode during the work
Shima.Jun- ah..yes, sorry
shopkeeper- did you hear? His call music was so boring
Saitou- oh yes, same as mine
shopkeeper- oh...right
Shima.Jun- huff x2
- it
- came...

13
- what...so late...?
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- Sorry, the internet got blocked
- the time feeling seem to be different for here and there
- Messages might be chopped off sometimes, but just stand it
Shima.Jun- You arrogant...well fine
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- A body is needed to call Shinku back
- a body that's fit for Shinku's sense(/soul) to return
- but right now I can't move for a reason
- So I'd entrust to other myself
- using artificial spirit, secretly from Kirakisyo
- Now, you'll have to do three things
- 1. create Shinku
- 2. Wake up Shinku
- 3. lastly...
Shima.Jun- Hey
- Wait a minute!!

14
- What, create? ...but aren't Rozen Maidens the legendary doll?
- I've never had experiences before, and those parts are only replicas made of polyurethane!
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- A temporaly body is just fine. it's not the matter of materials, it's "who" creates (the body)
- Only I can make the body that can call Shinku back, so You will
Shima.Jun- But there are parts lacking...
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- It's alright
- I can do it, so You can do it
- There's nothing impossible
Shima.Jun- This guy...is he really
- middle schooler me...?

15
- Ok, I bought the materials as you have commanded
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- good
Shima.Jun- but I did not imagine that "create" meant the clothe first...
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- but isn't Shinku's body there naked?
- She'll be mad
Shima.Jun- Mad? you man...that beautiful Shinku?
- Are you joking?
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- ...I will keep no comment about that
Shima.Jun- Well, I did like sewing when I was young...
- but I won't know if I will be able to do it well still...
- ...in addition there isn't much good memories about it
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- me neigher...
Shima.Jun- ...right

16
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- In Alice Game, the humans are only sidekicks
- I got involved too, and am locked right now
- Kirakisho will kill us if she finds out this
Shima. Jun- Wow...Yucky is scary
(* I am sorry, can't really translate again. the kanji for Kirakisyo is "雪華綺晶," and the first kanji is normally read as "Yuki." Jun probably made up a nickname from it)
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- Who's "Yucky"?

17
Shima.Jun- Neh...I just can't read "雪華綺晶"
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- "Kirakisho"
Shima.Jun- How about "金糸雀"?
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- Canaria! Are you really my 19-year-old self?
Shima.Jun- Shut up! All names are written like codes except for Shinku(/"真紅")
- Are you really my 14-year-old self, too? You're so impudent
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- Oh yeah
- I'm still not going to school
- And I know I have a bad(/moody) character
Shima.Jun- Be careful with what you say, It's a university student here
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- University? wow!
- so you went to middle school and high school, too
Shima.Jun(thought)- not the high school, actually
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- Are you living by yourself? How about Sister?

18
- I'm living by my self with part-time job... Sister is doing Office Lady at home
- She sends me a lot of unneeded stuff
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- I envy you... Sister's so noisy about me
Shima.Jun- I know
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- You are not suddenly dying hair or changing to contacts, are you?
- Don't do such thing like you're from north
Shima.Jun- uh
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- ...gosh
- you're outdated... can't believe you are my future self
Shima.Jun- I feel like giving him a punch
- Finished...!!

19
- How's it...
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- I got the picture
- Not bad for a blank (*sorry, don't understand what it means by "blank")
- Just like me
Shima.Jun- ...(he's) not pretty
- But this is only a torso still
- Quick... other parts...
- ...Shinku...

20
- Ah
- This dream again
- too tired to be surprised...uh?
- Shinku's body....?
- I must be caring too much about it, it has come even into a dream
sfx- pi pi
Shima.Jun- hm?
- Wha... the cell phone?
- Even into the dream?

21
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- We were found!
Shima.Jun- eh?
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- Kirakisho has found you!
- this is bad, it's going to you right now
Shima.Jun- Found...? eh!?
- But this is my dream...
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- No!
- That's probably the Field of N.
- The world of dream is connected to unconsciousness
Shima.Jun- ???
- So...what am I gonna do?

22
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- Those parts you see are the fakes created by Kirakisho
- The real parts must be hidden inside
- Finish creating Shinku and wake her up
Shima.Jun- what...from this mountain (/whole chunk)!?
- impossible...oi!
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- Please take care of Shinku!
- I sent you a rescue just now

Shima.Jin- but...

sfx- clink clink (/kacha kacha)
- this one, neither...

24
- ...no... like this
- it's just gonna take forever...
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- It's alright
Shima.Jun- He can say that only beause he's still a child...
- The reality is a lot clearer at my age
- Like that there are more impossibles than possibles...
(text in box/Sakura.Jun)- There's nothing impossible
Shima.Jun- brat...!

25
- Even if you try hard...and accomplish something...
- Once you're outside it's only a small, useless thing....
- you'll feel the limit
- the "Only highest" possible to reach...!
(flashback/Sakura.Jun)- Please take care of Shinku
Shima.Jun- Shoot...

[/INDENT]

I couldn't fine the prefix for Rozen Maiden... was it okay to leave it blank?

by the way, I am sorry but I cannot do the translation of Tale 3 or Tale 4.
Not only Rozen Maiden, I cannot do any translations during July.
I am not super hot about translating this...it will be after August even if I am going to do them.
