Persona 4
Bölüm 2 "Gece Yarısı Kanalı"
Sf. 1
??? - Gerçeği bilmek istiyorsun. ?
Öyleyse beni yakalamaya çalış.
Sf. 2
Demek peşimden gelen sensin.
Fufu. . aferin . . .
Sf. 3
Sf. 4
Görünüşe göre sisin içinde bile hala biraz görebiliyorsunuz
Sf. 5
Anlıyorum.
Gerçekten ilginç bir arka plan bilgisine sahipsiniz, ancak ... bunu o kadar kolay yakalayamayacaksınız
Aradığınız her neyse
Daha da zor, "gerçek" için ...
Souji - Sis gittikçe yoğunlaşıyor
??? - Kim olursa olsun, insanlar olaylara sadece kendi istedikleri gibi bakarlar.
Belki tekrar karşılaşırız.
Buradan başka bir yerde. . .
Sf. 6
Souji - Ah . . .
Bu doğru. Şu andan itibaren amcamın evinde kalacağım.
Eve erken gelip eşyalarımı düzenlemeliyim.
Nanako - Günaydın ... kahvaltı şimdi hazır
-- 04/12 SALI --
Sf. 7
Souji - Nanako ... yalnız mısın? Peki ya baban?
Nanako - İş ... o her zaman böyle
Ama bugün okuldaki ilk günün, değil mi?
Ben de o tarafa gidiyorum, o yüzden birlikte gidelim.
Okul
Şu tarafa doğru.
Şimdi bu tarafa gidiyorum. Sonra görüşürüz.
Sf. 8
Adachi - Do- . . . Doujima-san
Bu da ne? ? O nasıl olabilir?
Doujima - Sakin ol, Adachi. Daha ne kadar böyle acemi gibi davranmayı planlıyorsun?
Ama bu . . .
Sf. 9
Antene takılarak mı öldü?
Ne garip bir cinayet davası bu. ?
Chie - Neden sabahtan beri bu kadar ölüsün?
Sf. 10
Yousuke - Hiçbir şey . . .
Yapabilir misin?
Beni biraz yalnız bırakın.
Yağmur yüzünden bisikletimin kaydığını ve bacaklarımın arasından darbe aldığımı nasıl söyleyebilirim?
Sf. 11
Morokin - Yerine geç!
İstemesem de transfer öğrenciyi takdim edeceğim.
Sinir bozucu başkentten bu ücra kasabaya savrulan zavallı adam, deyim yerindeyse bir kaçak
Souji - Sen kime kaçak diyorsun?
Morokin - Anladın mı? Onu bir kız sanabilirsin, ama ona gözlerini dikme.
Chie - Başkentten ... düşündüm de, sen de öylesin, değil mi Hanamura?
Sf. 12
Souji - Ben Seta Souji. Memnun oldum.
Morokin - Bu künt tavır da neyin nesi? ?
Bu bakış da neyin nesi? Şikayetin mi var yoksa?
Chie - Bayım
Bu koltuk boş olduğuna göre, transfer öğrencinin buraya oturmasında bir sakınca var mı?
Morokin - Hah?
Oh doğru, o zaman senin koltuğun şurada. Git otur hadi.
Öğrenciler - Vay canına... Doğrudan "moron sınıfına" transfer olduk...
Ona göz kulak olursak gerçekten uzaklaştırma bile alabiliriz, belki ... ?
Sf. 12
Chie - Korkunç biri, değil mi? Ah, ben Satonaka Chie. Memnun oldum!
Bu sınıfa girmek senin için büyük bir şans. Bir yıl boyunca iyi şanslar o zaman.
Duyuru - Tüm personel ve öğrencilere
Okul bölgesi yakınlarında bir olay meydana gelmiştir. Polis şu anda okul yolunu trafiğe kapatmış durumda.
Ayrıca acil bir toplantı çağrısı yapacağız, bu nedenle tüm personel lütfen en kısa sürede öğretmenler odasına dönsün
Chie - Olay mı!?
Anons - Ve tüm öğrenciler lütfen sınıfta bekleyin ve ikinci bir duyuruya kadar okul alanını terk etmeyin.
Sf. 13
Morokin - . . . Dedikleri gibi yapın
Tamam mı? İkinci bir emre kadar sınıftan dışarı çıkmayın.
Chie - Hah . . . peki daha ne kadar sürecek?
Yukiko - Ben de bilmiyorum.
Chie - Ah, bu arada Yukiko, sana daha önce söylediğim şeyi denedin mi?
"Yağmurlu bir günün gece yarısında . . . "?
Yukiko - Ah, üzgünüm, henüz denemedim.
Chie - Haha, sorun değil. Diğer sınıftaki çocuk "benim ruh eşim Spiker Yamano!" diye bağırdı.
Yousuke - Ah
Umm, Satonaka- . . . -san
Chie - Nedir bu? Ve neden "-san" da var?
Sf. 14
Yousuke - Daha önce ödünç aldığım DVD tamamen harikaydı. Birbirlerine saldırdıklarını görmek cidden harikaydı ve ...
Çok özür dilerim! Sadece bir kazaydı! Yarı zamanlıdan paramı alana kadar bekle!
Görüşürüz o zaman!
Chie - Ah, hey! Sadece sınıftan çıkmayın diyorlar, o yüzden kaçmayın! Ayrıca
DVD'me ne yaptın?
Sf. 15
Uwa!
Olamaz! Çizikler var!
Benim "Ejderha Denemem"~~!
Souji - . . . Oldukça eğlenceli bir arkadaşın var.
Yukiko - Doğru
Sf. 16
Doujima - Geri döndüm
Bana bir şey bıraktın mı?
Nanako - Hayır, eve geç geliyorsun.
Doujima - Üzgünüm, çok meşguldüm.
Nanako - Biliyorum . . . ama
Doujima - Haber kanalını açabilir misin?
Nanako - Tamam, bir dakika. . .
TV - Sisli Inaba kasabasında spikerlik yapan Yamano Mayumi, bir sivilin evinin çatısında ölü bulundu
Yamano-san'ın hayattayken senatörün sekreteri ve şarkıcı Hiiragi Misuzu-san'ın kocası Namatame Tarou ile bir aşk ilişkisi yaşadığı anlaşıldı.
Polis şimdi akrabalarını sorgulayarak gizemi çözmeye çalışıyor
Şimdi, görünüşe göre cesedi ilk bulan yerel bir öğrenciyle röportaj yapacağız
Doujima - Röportaj mı? Bunu nereden bulmuşlar? ?
TV - İlk gördüğünüzde ne düşündünüz? Onun öldüğünü biliyor muydun? Yüzünü gördün mü?
??? - Umm . . .
TV - Sizce de biraz korkutucu değil mi: sisli bir gecede işlenen cinayet?
??? - Eh . . . ? Bu bir cinayet miydi?
TV - Son zamanlarda bu bölgede şüpheli birini gördünüz mü?
??? - Özel bir şey değil.
Sf. 17
TV - Yerel alışveriş bölgesinin yakınında meydana gelen trajik bir olay
O bölgedeki birçok insan bölgeye daha az müşteri geleceğinden endişelenmeye başlamıştı.
Doujima - Bunun nedeni onları korkutup kaçıran tüm o gürültü patırtıya sizin neden olmanız değil miydi? ?
TV - Cesedi sivilin evinin antenine baş aşağı asmak: bu fikrin nereden geldiğini bilmiyoruz, ancak muhtemelen bu suçlunun benzersizliği diyebiliriz
Henüz suç olarak ilan edilmemiş olsa da
Ama ölüm nedeni bilinmiyor ve tek bir şüpheli bile bulamıyorlar, doğru mu?
Nanako - Haberler çok sıkıcı.
Kanalı değiştirebilir miyim?
Baba. . .
TV - Polis bunun bir cinayet mi yoksa kaza mı olduğunu bile çözememişken bizim vergilerimizle ne yapıyor olabilir ki? . . ?
Nanako - Uyuyakaldı ..
TV - CM'den sonra döneceğiz.
Sf. 18
Yousuke - Benim adım Hanamura Yousuke
Ailemin işi nedeniyle şehirden ayrılmak zorunda kaldım.
Wa- . . . wa-wa-wait
O- . . . oh?
Kır . . . BREAK!
UWAAA!!
Şu anda, bu tür kırsal bir yerde yaşamaya çoktan alıştım . . .
. . . ama
. Ne halt ediyorum ben?
Dünden kalan bir etki gibi bir şey. ?
Sf. 19
Souji - İyi misin?
Yousuke - Oh, üzgünüm.
Hey, bu transfer edilen öğrenci
Teşekkürler! Umm .. .. Bu .. .. Seta, değil mi?
Evet, Seta Souji.
Ben Hanamura Yousuke, tanıştığımıza memnun oldum.
Nasılsınız, bu şehre alıştınız mı?
Sf. 20
Souji - Şimdi oldukça iyi, sanırım . . .
Yousuke - Eve gitmeden önce uğrayıp bir şeyler yemek ister misin?
Meşhur "sığır bifteğine" ne dersin? Kulağa biraz eski moda gelebilir, ama ...
Bu sabah bana yardım ettiğin için sana bir teşekkür ısmarlayacağım.
Chie - Peki beni davet falan etmeyecek misin?
Benim "Ejderha Denemem"
Yousuke - Ahh... konu yemek olduğunda hep sen mi gelmek zorundasın?
Chie - Peki ya sen Yukiko? Sana ikram edebilirim.
Yukiko - Sorun değil. Şu anda diyetteyim ve eve yardıma gitmem gerekiyor.
Yousuke - Şimdiden işi devralmayı mı öğreniyorsun?
Yukiko - Pek sayılmaz, sadece yoğun zamanlarda yardım ediyorum. Yani, daha sonra
Sf. 21
Chie - Boş ver o zaman, hadi gidelim.
Yousuke - Eh, cidden ikinizi de tedavi etmek zorunda mıyım?
Chie - Burası bizi tedavi edeceğin yer. ?
Burada biftek yok.
Yousuke - Sana da ısmarlamak zorunda kalırsam o biftek evine gidemeyiz.
Chie - Ama bu bizi evine sürüklemen gerektiği anlamına gelmiyor.
Yousuke - Dedim ya, burası benim yerim falan değil.
Sizi dışarıda bıraktığım için özür dilerim. Ben de sizin gibi başkentten geldim.
Babam yeni açıldığında bu alışveriş merkezinin başına atandı, bu yüzden tüm ailemiz yaklaşık altı ay önce buraya taşındı.
Size hoş geldiniz demek için Satonaka'ya da ikramda bulunacağım.
Souji - Tamam, anladım.
Sf. 22
Chie - Ama burası açıldıktan sonra artık yerel alışveriş bölgesine pek gitmiyorum
Oradaki pek çok dükkan da kapanmaya başladı.
Ah . . .
Yousuke - Ama bunun tek nedeni buranın açılması değil.
Chie - Tamam, özür dilerim.
Yousuke - Ah
Bu senpai.
Üzgünüm, biraz dışarı çıkıyorum.
Merhaba, işiniz bitti mi?
Sf. 23
Saki - Merhaba, kısa bir mola veriyorum.
Satışı artırmak için arkadaşlarını buraya mı getiriyorsun?
Yousuke - Uwa, cidden alındım.
Konishi Saki-senpai
Evi, alışveriş bölgesindeki içki dükkânıdır, ancak dükkânın yönetimiyle ilgili bazı sıkıntıları vardır, bu nedenle burada yarı zamanlı çalışmaktadır
Sadece onları tedavi ediyorum, harçlığımla
Bu konuda biraz kötü hissediyorum, ama senpai bana genellikle kendi küçük kardeşi gibi davranıyor.
O gerçekten iyi bir insan.
Saki - O çocuk ... nakil olan öğrenci mi?
Yousuke - Evet, o da şehirden transfer oldu, bu yüzden onun için bir şeyler hissediyorum.
Saki - Oh, sen sadece ona karışmaya çalışıyorsun
Sf. 24
Merhaba, ikinizin de şehir çocuğu olması iyi anlaşmanıza yardımcı oluyor, değil mi?
Bu şehre geleli çok olmadı, o yüzden henüz çok arkadaşı yok. Onunla arkadaş ol, tamam mı?
Hana-chan oldukça uçarı bir insan, ama eğer seni kızdırırsa, bunu doğrudan yüzüne söyleyebilirsin, tamam mı?
Souji - Hayır.
O gerçekten iyi bir insan.
Saki - Ahahaha, biliyorum, biliyorum. Sadece şaka yapıyordum.
Yousuke - Uwa, ikiniz de! Nesin sen? . .
Saki - Tamam, şimdi işe dönmeliyim. Daha sonra
Sf. 25
Chie - Eski bir içki dükkanının kızı ve mağaza müdürünün oğlu ... tutkulu bir yasak aşk! Değil mi?
Yousuke - Sen . . . ! Aptal, öyle değil!
Chie - Oh doğru ... madem endişeleniyorsun, sana "iyi bir şey" söyleyeyim o zaman
"Gece Yarısı Kanalı" hakkında bilginiz var mı?
Sf. 26
Yağmurlu bir günde gece yarısı kapattığınız televizyonu tek başınıza izlerseniz ...
Ekrandaki yansımanıza bakarken, onun yerine başka biri belirecektir.
O kişinin ruh eşiniz olduğunu söylerler.
Yousuke - Bu da ne?
Tam da iyi bir şey söyleyeceğini düşünürken ... hala bu tür çocukça söylentilere inanabiliyor musun?
Sf. 27
Chie - Chi- . . . Çocukça mı diyorsun?! Bana inanmadın mı!?
Yousuke - Buna inanmamın imkanı yok!
Chie - . . . Hm
Bulutlar da şimdi biraz tuhaflaşıyor gibi görünüyor.
Ah, belki de bu gece yine ara sıra yağmur yağacak ...
Öyleyse, devam edin ve bu gece kontrol edin! Herkes denesin, tamam mı?!!
Yousuke - Sen de daha önce hiç denemedin mi?! Bu kadar aptalca bir şey duyduktan sonra benim için uzun bir süre olmuştu!
Chie - Sen de iyisin, değil mi, transfer öğrenci!?
Souji - Ben Seta.
Chie - Tamam, karar verildi o zaman. Kesin olarak kontrol etmeyi dene, tamam mı!
Seta-kun da!
Sf. 27
Souji - Hm . . .
Ah . . . Eşyalarımı düzenlediğim için fark etmemiştim.
Yağmur yağıyor.
Sf. 28
. . . Hm
Sf. 29
Yousuke - Bu- . . . Gösteriyor!?
Chie - Bu bizim üniformamız! Ama bu
Souji - Bir kız .. ..
Ugh . . .
Sf. 30
U- . . . uwa!!
Sf. 31
~~~Ouch . . .
Yousuke - Eh ... o zaman bunu da gördün mü?
Sf. 32
Ama neden hepimiz aynı kızı gördük?
Chie - Ruh eşimin kız olması da neyin nesi?
Saçları omuzlarına kadar iniyor ve net olmasa da bu bizim okul üniformamızdı ... Konishi-senpai'ye de benziyordu
Yousuke - Bu arada, o olayda cesedi gören ilk kişi de Konishi-senpai gibi görünüyor
Acaba bu yüzden mi iyi görünmüyordu? Bugün de okula gelmedi.
Yukiko - Üzgünüm, Chie. Şimdi gitmem gerekiyor.
Chie - Ah, tamam.
Yousuke - . . . Amagi de pek iyi görünmüyordu.
Son zamanlarda meşgul gibi görünüyor.
Ama . . .
"Televizyonun içine çekildim" de neyin nesi?
Uykuda konuşurken ya da buna benzer bir şey yaparken çok etkilenmediniz, değil mi?
Sf. 34
Chie - Ama bu oldukça ilginçti, ister sadece bir rüya olsun ister olmasın
"Çok küçük olduğu için TV'ye giremiyorum" gibi bir şey gerçekte kulağa gerçekten aptalca gelebilir ama
Eğer daha büyükse . . .
Yousuke - Ve sonunda, gelip benim evimde görmelisin.
Ama yine de böyle aptalca bir şeye inanabiliyor musun?
Chie - Bunu dün de söyledin ve denedikten sonra ne elde ettiğine bir bak
Ama bu çok büyük! ÇOK PAHALI! Böyle bir şeyi kim alır ki!?
Yousuke - Zengin insanlar, belki?
Sf. 35
Chie + Yousuke - Muu!
Yousuke - Bu gerçekten aptalcaydı, kesinlikle toplum içinde yapmak isteyeceğim bir şey değil
Chie - Haklısın.
Yousuke - Bu arada, buradan yeni bir televizyon almaya ne dersiniz, özellikle istediğiniz bir şey var mı?
Chie - Bu çok pahalı! Hayatta almam.
Yousuke - Öyle söyleme.
Şuradakine ne dersiniz, bayan? Bu bahar piyasaya sürülen en yeni model.
Sf. 36
Ama cidden... sanırım önce "ucuz" olanın ne olduğunu sormam gerekiyor.
Chie - Arkadaş olduğumuz için daha ucuz yap, o zaman muhtemelen satın alırım
Yousuke - Bunu yapamam . . .
Ve Seta, evdeki televizyonun . . .
. . . Hey!
Eli ... televizyonun içine mi girdi?
Chie - Vay canına, en yeni model için beklendiği gibi. Ne tür bir işlev bu?
Yousuke - Değil!!
Sf. 37
Cidden ... hemen içine giriyor ... bu ne tür bir illüzyon?
Ama şimdi bunu söylemenin zamanı değil. . . geliyorlar!
Chie - Bu bir çeşit hile miydi?! Bu nasıl çalışıyor!?
Ama bu inanılmazdı!!
Yousuke - Ne halt ediyorsun, aptal! Durdur şunu!!
Chie - Yapma . . . böyle acele etme
He-! Bek-!!
Yousuke + Chie - UWAAA
Sf. 38-39
Ugh! . . .
Yousuke - Kıçım ... çok sert vuruldu!
Chie - Ne- . . . bu da neydi böyle?
Televizyonu hatırlıyorum. Evet, televizyona girmiştik!
. . . ayrıca . . .
Burası neresi?

Persona 4
#1 " Giriş"
Sf. 1
Öğretmen - Hepinizin bunu zaten bildiğini varsayıyorum, ancak bu adam Mart ayından itibaren transfer edilecek.

Souji - Ailemin işi nedeniyle çok fazla tayin edildim.
Kısa bir süre olabilir ama lütfen bana iyi bakın.

Sf. 2
Bu sefer de her zamanki gibi...
Sadece bu sefer ailem yurt dışına gidiyor.
Okul hayatıma devam etmek zorunda olan ben de ailem gibi şehirden ayrılmak zorunda kalacağım.
Ve bir yıllığına anne tarafından dayımın yanında kalacağım.

Telefon - Seni istasyondan, ana girişten saat 16.00'da alacağım.

Souji - Inaba Bölgesi, annemin büyüdüğü kasaba.

Düşündüm de, hatırladığım kadarıyla buraya ilk gelişim.

Sf. 3
04/11 PAZAR

Ryoutarou - Buraya.

Sf. 4
Fotoğraftakinden daha iyi görünüyorsun.

Ben Doujima Ryoutarou, sizinle ilgilenecek olan kişi.

Inaba Bölgesi'ne hoş geldiniz.

Souji - Memnun oldum.
Ben Seta Souji.

Sf. 5
Ryoutarou - Haha. Tanıştığımıza memnun oldum. . huh. Aslında eskiden senin için bez değiştirirdim.

Bu da kızım Nanako. Hadi, merhaba de.

Nanako - . . . Merhaba.

Ryoutarou - Haha, utangaç mısın?

Ahh. Haha.

Sf. 6
Ama hem baban hem de ablan her zamanki gibi işkolik.
Bütün bir yıl boyunca bu şekilde taşraya sürülmek senin için zor olmalı.

Souji - Pek sayılmaz. Ben zaten alışkınım.
Evet, çoktan alıştım.

Ryoutarou - Evimizde sadece Nanako ve ben varız, bu yüzden gelmen bizim için de iyi bir şey.
Bizi tek bir aile olarak düşünebilirsin, bu yüzden istediğini yapmakta özgürsün.
Souji - Tüm transferlerimde her zaman aklımda tuttuğum şey şudur.

Onlardan yeterince uzak kalarak yaşamak.
Lütfen bana iyi bakın.

Sf. 7
Ryoutarou - Ah, biraz fazla resmi davranıyorsun.

Bak, Nanako şu anda titriyor.
Tekrar ediyorum, bizimle aileden biriymişiz gibi yaşa.

. . . Ne oldu?

Sf. 8
Tuvalete gitmek ister misin?
Ahh.

Sf. 9
Benzin istasyonundaki kişi - Hoş geldiniz!

Ryoutarou - Kendi başına gidebilirsin, değil mi?
Nanako - Evet.

Benzin istasyonu çalışanı - Tuvalet mi?
İçeri gir, solda. Sol tarafı biliyor musun?
O elinle çubuk kullanmasan iyi olur.
== Bu Japon ve Çin sofra adabıdır. Yemek çubuğunu sol elinizle kullanmamalısınız . . . >_<"

Nanako - Bunu zaten biliyorum.

Benzin istasyonundaki kişi - Bir yere mi gidiyorsunuz?
Ryoutarou - Hayır, bu adamı almaya gittik.
Şehirden yeni geldi ve bugünden itibaren burada yaşayacak.

Sf. 10
Benzin istasyonundaki kişi - Heh, şehirden . . . ?
O zaman depoyu normal benzinle doldurabilir misiniz?
Benzin istasyonundaki kişi - Evet, çok teşekkür ederim

Lise öğrencisi misin?

Şehirden olduğunuzu duyunca şaşırdım.
Aslında buranın biraz sıkıcı olduğunu düşünüyorum~
Eğer hala lisedeyseniz, arkadaş bulup yarı zamanlı bir iş yapsanız iyi olur.

Sf. 11
Souji - Hayır, kırsal kesim de aslında iyi
Arkadaşlar, ha?
Her neyse, şehirdekinin aksine hava çok daha temiz.

Benzin istasyonu çalışanı - Ama yine de burası benzin kokuyor

Sf. 12
Sanırım "bu şehre hoş geldiniz" dersem garip olur, değil mi?

Souji - Hiç de değil . . .

Sf. 13
Benzin istasyonu çalışanı - Burada da yarı zamanlı çalışmaya açığız. Öğrencilere her zaman kapımız açıktır.
Souji - Bunu düşüneceğim.

Sf. 19
Ryoutarou - Pekala, hadi gidelim.

Souji - Yani

Sf. 20-21
O bir yıl içinde arkadaşlarımla yaşadığım anıların yeri asla doldurulamaz.

[English] [Translation] Persona 4 40 by Ju-da-su

2012-10-19T19:11:07+00:00

Now...where to start then...? ._."

OK, first, I'm really sorry. I actually don't mean to jump 25 chapters ahead. I only have one issue of Maoh with me (the latest issue). My Persona 4 hype became really high again after I started playing P4G and rewatch a lot of scenes of the anime (which made me finally realize that P4A is probably one of the best anime I've ever watch...>.>"), so it's kinda like...translating just because I feel like it, type of thing. (CB isn't here yet as well, and P4 is an easy one to translate, so... ._.")

As for the raw...sorry, can't do that right now. I'm out of my home, and probably will be back at the end of the month, so I have no access to scanner as of right now. Please bear with the translation alone for now.

Also...I have some problem. Yeah, I'm really busy with my university right now, so I probably can't come to update monthies as much anymore, but there's more problem than that. Thanks to my stupidity, I cancelled my Maoh subscription since the beginning of the year for Tales of Xillia manga in Comic Gene. I'm kinda short of money as well, so I can't order more than three magazines a month. I only resume my subscription for Maoh (and cancel Gene) this month, and barely was lucky since the bookstore I frequent at has spare copy of this issue that I can have. However, that means I have almost one year gap. There shouldn't be much problem from the translation front, since I'm planning to fill the gap up with tankoubon (though I'll have to find out which volume), so I can still translate, but I am not going to scan tankoubon raw. I don't want to debind a tanko, so there'll be no raws from me for those chapters.

Also, I just knew that my mom packed all my mangas and magazines into cardboard boxes. I have some Maoh from last year still left outside of the box, and Persona magazine, so I can only translate from those, unless I unbox those boxes. So...if I do come around and translate again, it'll probably be the chapter inside Persona Magazine vol.1 (which...are the camp chapters, iirc...though they change Souji to Yuu in those chapters and the ending of the first part (right after Mudoon Curry scene) kinda changes from the original, from a single page to double pages of Souji "ascending to heaven" and have "Never More" song lyric next to it...)

PS. No, I'm not going to change from Souji to Yuu, and I still believe that Souji is just as official as Yuu.

Please proofread this before using for scanlation.

Persona 4
#40 "Shirogane Naoto (part 4)"
Pg. 1
Shadow Naoto - I am a shadow...the true self...
I bet you guys are fed up with your own self too, don't you!?

Kanji - Hmph! We'll see about that.
** Shadow Naoto vs. Kanji!! **

Pg. 2
ROKUTEN MAOU!!

Pg. 3
Rise - Kanji...
your Persona!

Souji - ...Looks like

he has become clear with himself now.

Pg. 4
Kanji - RAWRR!!

Shadow Naoto - AAAAAH!

Pg. 5
YOU BASTAAAARD!

Kanji - Tch...Shit, I overdid it...

Shadow Naoto - So slow!
Is that first blow all you've got already!?

Pg. 6
No matter how powerful you are, you won't get anywhere with force alone!!

Kanji - Ngh.

You're just like a kid who's always so simple
and use force with everything!!

Pg. 7
Rise - What's wrong! Kanji!!
Souji - ...Hmm.

Kanji - That guy is swift, but that's no big deal to me...
but...

this really isn't good...!

Pg. 8
Shadow Naoto - Kids can never accomplish anything anyway!

Pg. 9
Souji - Tch...!

Rise - Naoto-kun!

Listen to me? OK!?
I have a lot of things I have to tell you...

but right now, let me only say one thing.

Pg. 10
I want to apologize to you.

I said "We're not fooling around" to you
without even considering how you feel. That's why all this happened.

I'm sorry.

Pg. 11
We've both said our shares, and argued.
But since I already apologize, we're now friends.
Got that!!

Pg. 12
Naoto - You guys are really...

...My dream is to become a cool...hard-boiled detective...
My parents are really proud of their work, so I never have to rethink whether I should inherit their work...

A lot of people may find it as restricting, but I never even want to reject it. Rather, I really look up to it...
Guess I've inherited that from them as well.

Pg. 13
I believe...my grandfather also wanted to help me fulfill my dream as well, seeing that I was always by myself after my parents passed away.

I only was secretly helping my grandfather with his problems, and before I knew it, I was already called a "Detective Boy"...

It really pleased me at first...but it wasn't all rosy either...

Polices - "He's just a kid."
"Just a brat."
"That brat"

Naoto - Even though I helped them solved mysteries, what I got in return wasn't all pleasant...
A lot of them were even irritated just by the fact that I'm a "kid"...
That problem will probably go away over time,

Pg. 14
but...
the fact that I'm a woman won't...

Rise - You despise being a woman?
Naoto - ...It doesn't fit with the "cool detective" I dreamed of...

Not to mention, police is the society of men...If people found more reasons to neglect me, I will lose my importance...

Kanji - You're just...
assuming things yourself!

Pg. 15
Rise - Hey...but now you understand, right?

Naoto - ...Yes...
I understand now...

Pg. 16
that my wish
is neither to become an "adult" nor a "man"...
** Naoto awakened!! **

[English] [Translation] Persona 4 16 by Ju-da-su

2011-11-20T17:22:40+00:00

Alright, I run into a little problem. First, I don't have the scanner with me, so I can't scan the raw of this chapter just yet. Second, I thought I brought chapter 17 with me during my evacuation when I just found out that the one I brought with me isn't chapter 17, but chapter 18. Which means chapter 17 is still inside my house, surrounded in flood (I moved all my magazines to second floor already though, so there shouldn't be any problem with the mags...)

So, the Persona chapters I have with me right now is 18, 28-30 (and chapter 1 anime version+P3 chapter 25 which are in P4 infinity guide that came with November issue). Surely, no one would want me to jump a mile and do chapter 28-30, I assumed. I'm not doing the anime version as well (since it's just chapter 1 reprinted with Souji -> Narukami, and nothing more than that) Honestly speaking, I don't have the raw of P3 chapter 22-24 which were originally in Black Maoh before it merged with Maoh either, so while it's possible for me to do 25, I would refrain from doing so until I get hold of all the past raws.

AKA, don't be surprised if chapter 18 comes before 17. I need to get back home and search for my magazine first before I can get on chapter 17. If worse comes to worst, I'll ask Rena to help scan chapter 17 to fill up the gap.

PS. Luv ya, Kan-chan. You look awesome in the anime~ Gosh, Shadow Kanji in the anime is totally outrageous~ X3

** Is this little boy here Kanji!? **

??? - Oh, Kan-chan, you made that yourself? That's really nice.
You're really good at knitting, and drawing too.

You're awesome, Kanji-kun!

Pg. 2
Kanji - I'm done...fixing your purse now.

Girl - ...Th-

What's that, Kanji? You like knitting?
You knit? That's so girly.
You're so weird!
And you can still call yourself a boy? So unmanly.

...Ah
Ah...

Sissy.
Sissy.

Pg. 4
Sissy.

Kanji - ...What?

Pg. 5
What am...

I doing? What good will this ever do...?

Pg. 6
Wait...what...did I want to do again...?
Shadow Kanji - C'mon, stop lying to yourself...
You don't like to lie to anyone nor to yourself, no?
What's wrong with saying out what you want?

Kanji - I...I...

Shadow Kanji - I'm "the thing that you want".

Pg. 7
Kanji - You're not!
Shadow Kanji - I hate girls...
So selfish. Totally full of themselves.
Crying whenever they're angry.
Gossiping.

Squealing.
Testing.
Corrupting.

They look at me, disgusted. Say I'm weird, I'm weird...
Then what?...They laugh at me and say,

Pg. 8
"You knitting is just gross",
"You drawing just creeps me out."

Sissy.
Sissy.
Sissy.

What it is to be manly then? What's being a man mean then?
Girls are scary, aren't they...?

Pg. 9
Kanji - They aren't!
Shadow Kanji - Boys are better...
They don't say anything about me being sissy either.
That's right. Boys are more better...

Kanji - The...fuck with that! What the heck is with you?
Don't you pretend to be me to fool around...!

Shadow Kanji - You are me...
and I'm you...
Don't you already know that...?

Pg. 10
Kanji - No...No, no!
Like hell...
you can be!!

Shadow Kanji - Fufu...Fufufufu...
I'm you...YOU!!

Pg. 11

Pg. 12

Pg. 13
I'm the shadow...The true self of one...

I'm always true to myself...

You hindrance can vanish!!

Pg. 14

Pg. 15
Is this...what Kanji-kun really is!?

Yousuke - No, it's not!

It only went nasty and berserking on its own!!

Souji - Are you alright!!?
Kanji - Yo-...You guys...!?

Shadow Kanji - Wh...What the hell...?

Pg. 16
All of you think of me as weird too...
You didn't even accept me deep down either!!

Pg. 17
Yousuke - Jiraiya!

Shadow Kanji - I'll do everything my own way now!

Pg. 18
I ain't losing out to you!!

Kanji - ...Enough.

Pg. 19
That's enough...

Pg. 20
Shadow Kanji - Argh!!

Pg. 21
Kuma - It's over, kuma!
Yousuke - Nice work, buddy!!

Shadow Kanji - ...Ugh.
Fufu...fufufufu.
What a passionate approach...
With this...guess you guys can just be my boyfriends.

Kuma - H-He's getting up again, kuma! He's that strongly rejected, kuma...?
Yousuke - And just look as him...No wonder he has so many people watching.

Pg. 22
Kanji - Anyone will do...
Just take me in...
I don't care who it is.

Kanji - ...No...

Shadow Kanji - Someone, accept me~~~~!

Pg. 23
Kanji - I said,
Yukiko - Ah.

Kanji - It's not like I want to do it.

Pg. 24
THAT'S ENOUGH!!

** Kanji's awakening!! **

2011-10-17T18:03:32+00:00

I watched the English version of the game just out of curiosity of what Kuma said when he did that "Kanji" joke...and well, I hate bear pun, so...-_-"

And yeah, Chi-ichi won as Kanji by far...流石声優の下ネタ王~ >_<"

Persona 4
#15 "Tatsumi Kanji (part 3)"
Pg. 1
Yousuke - Hey, Kuma.
** What's wrong with Kuma!? **

[05/18 WED]
There's someone in here, no?

Kuma - Oh...
Uh-hmm, looks like someone is here.

Pg. 2
Souji - Looks like? But what's the place?

Kuma - Kuma don't know, kuma...
Yukiko - We think that might be the boy named Kanji-kun though.

Kuma - Dunno, kuma...
Chie - What's wrong? You seems pretty down though?

Kuma - Kuma can sense it but don't know where it came from...

Yousuke - Don't you just think too much?
While you didn't show it, you did say you were worried before too, right?
You did say you were contemplating about who you really are and since when were you here before.

Just don't think too much. You got nothing in your head anyway!!

Pg. 3
UWAAAA!!

Chie - Wh-wh-wh-wh-what have you done, Yousuke? His head fell off! Take some responsibility!!
Yousuke - Eh-Eh-Ehmmm

Hey, Kuma! Answer me!
Kuma!!

KUMA~~!!

Pg. 4
Kuma - ...Aah.
My head jack is getting loose now, kuma...
Yousuke - Yo-...You're perfectly fine, I see.

Chie - You're...very depressed, huh?

Yousuke - If you say you don't know where Kanji is, then what'll we do?
We're all in the dark here. How are we supposed to move on...?
Kuma - Mmmmmgh.

Maybe you get some hint of "Kanji-kun", Kuma can focus and sense better.

Pg. 5
Any features of “Kanji-kun”…you can think of?
Yousuke – Of Kanji-kun?...I only heard of the “rumors” people talked about him though.
That he made some “legends” during his junior high.
Yukiko – Legend!?
Chie – I don’t think it’s what you’re thinking though, Yukiko.

Kuma wants some kind of hints
Like “what Kanji-kun is like” and such, kuma…

[05/19 THURS]

Yousuke – Even if he said so…

Pg. 6
“Kanji-kun” doesn’t seem to have many friends either.
Souji – That guy…

Yousuke – Yo, can we have a sec?
Naoto - …What’s it?
Yousuke – Umm, we saw you talking to Tatsumi Kanji a while back, so we’re just wondering what you two were talking about.
Is there anything strange about him?

Oh yeah, Kanji is a member of our club, and we notice that he doesn’t show up lately.
So we’re wondering what’s up with him.
Naoto - …Oh.

Well, alright. You seem in hurry as well, so I’ll answer your question.

Pg. 7
Naoto – Let’s see…If I recall, he started to act strange after I asked him about what’s around him recently, so I just told him directly my feeling
That he’s “strange”…
Then his expression changed so abruptly I was shocked myself.

When I ask him what happened, I felt that his behavior becomes a little unnatural.
Yousuke – You looks pretty much like a weirdo to me though,
With how you dress…Oww.

Naoto – He probably has some kind of “complex”…though I have no proof of that.
Yousuke - …I see. He could’ve just said what’s in his mind if something is bothering him.

Thanks, though. If you have something that worries you, feel free to come talk to us, kay?

Pg. 8
Naoto - …You’re welcome.

Kuma – You found some hints, right, kuma? Hmmm, a complex…?
…Huh? That’s all!? You want Kuma to search with jus that, kuma? You're really a slave driver, kuma…

Yukiko – I went to the textile shop and borrowed Kanji-kun’s handkerchief though.

I asked about Kanji-kun from his mother too, but she said he’s still as rough as usual though.
Chie - I think that’s already quite something though.

Kuma – Alright, Kuma’ll sniff till Kuma drop then!

Pg. 9
*sniff* *sniff* *sniff* *sniff* *sniff*

So sweaty, kuma…

But, oh
Oh-oh-oh

Kuma think Kuma just hit on something!

Something’s really here, kuma. Is this it? Is this really it!?

All of you, follow me, kuma!!

Pg. 10
Yousuke – Th-…This is the place? But it’s really hot.
Yukiko – Kuma-san, is this really the place?

Kuma’s scent sensor should never be underestimated!
Chie - Ugh...It's so stuffy here I don't want to go in.

Hey wait,
that doesn’t look like a place we girls can go into though. That’s for boys only, no!?

Yousuke - Is this the time to be worried about that? Let’s get going.

Pg. 11
Chie – We’re going in then…
Whoa!
You sure we don’t have to pay?

Yousuke – Don’t ask me.

Shadow Kanji – Hel’O! You nice boys over there!!
Are you aiming for the further height just like me?
Whoo! Did you come for me then? Oh?

Pg. 12
I really love that answer!
Let me prepare an all-out for you then!!

Welcome to the paradise of men!
Chie – UWAAAAH!!

Pg. 13
Shadow Kanji - With all the nice boys here, this place gets even more heated-up!
To celebrate the nice comings of the boys, we’ve prepared a special stage for tonight!
One nice round of unlimited battle! Who’ll be the last stander, I wonder?

Yousuke – Wa-Wait a sec! I’m not going in there!!
Chie – What’re you saying now! Whooooaaa!!

Now, let your hot blood pouring out!

Yukiko – Souji-kun!!
Souji – Got it!!

Pg. 14
Yukiko – Konohana Sakuya!!

Pg. 15
Souji – Izanagi!!

Pg. 16-17
Kuma – Chie-chan! Behind you, kuma!!

Chie – Wah
Wah
WAAAAH!!

Pg. 18
DON’T GET NEAR ME!!

Pg. 19
Yousuke - Hah…those guys are easy-wins.
Chie – You didn’t do anything though…

Kuma – Wha-What’s this luring song, kuma!?

Shadow Kanji – Uhoho, look at what we have here.
Thanks you all for your attention!
We're all inside now.
I’m Kanji!!

Pg. 20
[Girls out! Breaking!? The Blazing Hot Paradise of And I’m bringing you this report
from this s-tra-n-ge blazing paradise!!

I have yet to have my wonderful meeting. Was it because of this scorching haze, I wonder?
As like the steam rising up for my sweaty body, uh-hmm~
My chest is all rock and stiff~

Pg. 21
Yousuke – Oh shit…This is just too wrong in too many ways…
Chie – Well, Yukiko’s one does have similar feel to this though…
Yukiko – N-No way…you got to be joking me…

This voice…
is this the voice of the viewers from outside!?

Chie – You mean the people’s reaction of the broadcasting of “this”?
Whoa…Kanji-kun'll just earn himself another unwanted "legend" if people are really watching him right now…

Well, that’s probably just his shadow, but bet normal people can’t tell anyway…

Kuma – The shadows are in an uproar too, kuma!

Pg. 22
Shadow Kanji – Will I really reach…what I’m seeking for? Uh-hoo
With that said, let’s head for the climax of love,
and dash on in even deeper…

Get movin’, punk~!!

Yukiko – Kanji-kun!
Kuma - Kanji-kun...is going to completely expose himself, kuma. His one has an even dangerous "feeling" than Yuki-chan's...

Pg. 23
Kuma - since he's "Kanji"
== Feeling = Kanji (different kanji…)

Yukiko - "Feeling" and "Kanji"...
Chie – Whoa, is it coming…?

Yukiko - …Lame.

** Scary Yukiko!! **

2011-09-13T16:50:14+00:00

One of the scene I feared most in translating...Shadow Kanji's first appearance...>_>"

PS. I guess I'll just change it to how English game call the character, with the first name...I'm more comfortable with that too, tbh...Kuma is an exception though. I don't like the name Teddie, nor do I like the bear pun thing. -.-"

Persona 4
#14 "Tatsumi Kanji (part 2)"
Pg. 1
[05/17 TUES]
Chie - The target really came to school!?

Target confirmed.
The target is now in school.

Yukiko - The target just reached school shortly before the end of lunchtime with the lunch made by his mother.

Yousuke - Currently, our target is fixing his hair in the restroom.

** Commence, Operation: Stake Tatsumi Kanji Out!! **

Pg. 2
The target nervously looks around. To avoid trouble, we came out of the school ground!

Yukiko - I wonder what their promise is...That boy doesn't seem familiar to me though.
Chie - Yeah, I find it weird myself...
Oh, he's here!

Pg. 3
Naoto - Sorry.
Did I keep you waiting?
Kanji - No,
I
just came as well...
Naoto - Well, shall we get going?

Yousuke - What...What the...?
They just look like a love couple.

Chie - Hold it right there. They're both boys, 'kay!?
An...Anyway, we'll lose them if we don't follow!

Yousuke - O...OK, let's split up then. Two stake Kanji out. Another two keep a look at the shop.
Chie - Ro-Rogers!! Crap, they're already gone! Let's go, Yousuke!

Pg. 4
Yousuke - Right then, let's pretend we're lovers so they won't find us out.
Chie - Never! We'll be all fine as long as they don't see us, no?
Geez...let's just follow them already!

Souji - Will they...
really be OK, though?

Yukiko - Sorry to keep you waiting.

The shop doesn't seem to have any problem. Let's hope it stays that way.

I wonder if the culprit will really come...
Souji - I don't know.

Pg. 5
Yukiko - I'm scared of him really coming, but...I'll help catch him.
You all had helped me, so how can I not do anything myself too?
...There got to be something I can do...

Oh, sorry.
What am I talking about? Gue-Guess I'm just nervous.
I've never talked to boys around my age alone before, you see...
Chie does have lots of boys as her friends because of what she's like, but...she seems to enjoy being with you and Yousuke most right now.

...I...

...enjoy being with you too.

Pg. 6
Chie - So fishy...

Yousuke - Yeah...we do look suspicious, just have to agree.
Chie - Not us. I mean those two.
I can sense something strange around them...

Yousuke - Strange? How so?
Chie - How so? Umm...How should I say it...?
Don't know if it's just me, but...
something doesn't seem right.

Pg. 7
I wonder how are Souji and Yukiko.
Yousuke - Who knows? He might be wooing Yukiko.
Chie - Not happening. He isn't like you. Most importantly, Yukiko doesn't really like that kind of stuff.
...But say, could that guy have some interest in Yukiko?
Yousuke - I wonder. I haven't talk to him much about that kind of stuff...Maybe I should next time.
Chie - Right.

That's quite a pain though.

Kanji - ...Hey you two...whatcha doing?
Yousuke - Oh, don't mind us...

GEEEH!!!

Pg. 8
Yousuke - Oh, nothing. Umm...we're just a silly couple who happened to pass by!
Chie - Said who!
Yousuke - You just have to act straight at that!?
Kanji - You guys are the ones from yesterday...

A-Ahahaha...! Oh c'mon, we just happened to be walking behind you. We're going this way too, so...
Chie - Well...we don't mean to intervene you or think you're weird or anything, though...

Kanji - W-Weird...!?
Yousuke - Wha, Chie! What the heck are you-...

Kanji - Stop right there, dorks!! 'tis not like you think!
H-Hey, that ain't it, get it! HUH!?
You listening to me, jackass! You're completely wrong, got that!!

Chie - Am seriously sorry...

Pg. 9
He found us out...
Yousuke - We can't even find place to hide...
Yukiko - ...Let's just wait for him here then. He might come.
[Defeated Warriors.]

Kanji - Whatcha guys doin' there? Hey, you guys are that silly couple!
Yousuke - Whoa! He really came!!
Chie - No, we are not!

Kanji - 'da hell is with you guys tailin' after me! I just don't get every last one of you!
Souji - "Every last one"?

Sigh...Well, you guys don't seem "bad" or anything, but...
Ah, shoot! Sigh...

Pg. 10
Yousuke - ...Hey, can we ask you something?
Do you notice anything weird around you lately?

Kanji - Huh...weird?

"Weird" you said!?
You called me weird!?

Yousuke - Huh?
No, I didn't mean...

Kanji - Fuck off right now, jackass. 'else I'll beat you up...I'll beat yer black and blue!
Yousuke - Wha...How'd it get to that!?

Pg. 11
I'm serious, scumbags!
Chie - Heeks!
Too much running for a day~

Pg. 12
Souji - Yes, Souji speaking.
Yukiko - Hello? So-Sorry to phone you this late.

Oh, I'm Yukiko.
Listen. Looks like Kanji-kun isn't home yet.

I just phone the textile shop on the inn's business,
and Kanji-kun's mother just told me...
that Kanji-kun just went out somewhere and didn't come back since.

Pg. 13
His mother said he's always like this, but...what do you think?
Souji - That's worrisome.

Yukiko - The "Midnight Channel"
might show something.

Souji - It's starting to rain now.
Maybe we'll see what exactly happens.

Pg. 14
Kanji - Hel'o...all.
It's time for
the "Bad, Bad"
"Bathhouse!!"

Pg. 15
Today...I shall introduce you to the gathering spot for all who seek for the sublime love
beyond the line of sexuality.
And the one who'll report to you this top secret sneak-in is me...

Yousuke - Who-Who...Whoa!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!!

Pg. 16
Kanji - Tatsumi Kanji-
kyu~n!

Yousuke - Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha
What the heck is this!? You gotta be kidding me!
Shit, just when I thought I hit the right spot, "this" comes out!?
Souji - Cool down.

Kanji - What'll become of me
or rather, of my body, I wonder!?
Yousuke - But does this mean Kanji's actually...
Souji - Don't say it.

Pg. 17
Chie - It really is Tatsumi Kanji...but this is really alright?
We shouldn't have come back and just stick around a bit back then.

Kanji - Now then, let's all
dash
in~

Yukiko - That loincloth...Nice fashion.

Kanji - to this "gathering spot"!!

Chie - ...Sigh.

Pg. 18
[05/18 WED]

??? - Considering everything that happened, maybe Kanji is already in there...
Just what exactly is that "Midnight Channel" anyway...?
At first, it was just a rumored psychic phenomenon of some sort, and when we tried testing it out, it became connected to "another completely different world"...
There must actually be lots of people actually watching it if it got turned into rumors, right?
That "Stare at the TV at midnight on the rainy day" thing.
Who would try that out without some kind of preface to it? That's just stupid.

Still, anyone can watch it if they want, no? And for however many time they want.
If this spreads...
there'd be one crazy uproar.

According to Kuma, those shows were created by those who got kidnapped themselves...
It doesn't just come out off nowhere, but it's shown because of the missing people.

But back when Yukiko was on it, we actually saw her but Yukiko herself ended up having no collection of that though?

Pg. 19
Yukiko - Ummm,
a little off-topic, but...do the culprit...also watch that TV too?
Chie - Probably. I bet he's taking his time and watch those somewhere-...

...You mean he's having fun with it!?
He threw people in there just so he can enjoy himself with that "program"!?

Yousuke - I see. That's possible. Wah!
The mind image of the culprit is becoming more and more corrupted now.
Show me all there is in you, Yukiko-tan~

Pg. 20
Yousuke - Wha...What was that for, Yukiko-san...?
Yukiko - Oh, sorry...
My hand just went on its own. There are lots of weird guest at the inn lately, so...
Chie - Whoa, whoa,
WHOA!!
Then if he was watching ever since with Yukiko, you mean he also saw mine too!?

You aren't getting away...culprit! I've stamp my foot right onto your face!
Guys!

First, we'll rescue Kanji.

Second, we'll beat the culprit up!

Pg. 21
Third, we'll beat the culprit up into one bloody pulp!!
Get it!?

Yukiko - Pfft...

Ch-Chie, the second and the third one is the same.
Chie - Ummm,
I already know that...
** Will they be able to rescue Kanji with this!? **

Persona 4
#13 "Tatsumi Kanji (part 1)"
Pg. 1
Announcer - The group of boys sighted to be rampaging the street, proudly breaking the peace of this town.

The one who seems like a boss suddenly
take assault at the camera!

Kanji - This ain't for show, dumbass!!
** Could this boy be!? **

Pg. 2
[05/14 THUR]
Doujima - That kid...
he did it again.
Nanako - You know him, dad?
Doujima - Well, I know of him through my work, yes.

"Tatsumi Kanji"
He's a troublemaker who always put up a fight. He wiped out all the gangsters in town even though he's only an eighth grader.
Nanako - Wow.
Souji - But didn't he pass the exam and enter the high school somewhere?
Doujima - Ah~ They even try to censor his face, but anyone can clearly see who he is, huh.

That guy's house is a traditional textile shop. If I recall, he took out a biker gang who rampaged the street every night single-handed just because his mother can't sleep.
His motive might be valid, but he was too violent...

Pg. 3
And his mother had to apologize for him.

Nanako - Oh.
The weather at the bottom of the screen said it's going to rain tomorrow.

Have to bring the laundry inside.

Pg. 4
Souji - Tatsumi...

Kanji?

Pg. 5
Yousuke - OK, so,
let the "Special Investigation Team of the Case of Serial Murder in Inaba City Meeting" begins.
Chie - So long!
Yukiko - Why don't we just call it "Investigation Team" then?

Yousuke - Oh, yeah, that! Nice idea, Amagi.
Chie - "Investigation Team"...?
Hmm, it does have a fascinating ring to it...

Yousuke - Either way, about last night...

Pg. 6
...Did you watch it?
Chie - Yeah, I did! It's all blurred, so it's kinda hard to see, but
it's him, right...? It was right after that special program, so I can remember him.
Yousuke - You mean that one about gangsters?
"Tatsumi Kanji"

Yukiko - I was shown like that too...
Eh? But wasn't "girls who are related to the first murder" what the victims all have in common?
Chie - That was what we thought at first...

Yukiko - Wasn't the Midnight Channel show something a little different after I got kidnapped?
Yousuke - Yeah, it suddenly became clear and turned into some kind of variety show.

Now that I think of it, maybe what we really "saw" was that side's Yukiko like what Kuma said.

Pg. 7
Souji - But since the one last night was still blurred...
Chie - it means he wasn't kidnapped yet!
He didn't go in "there" yet!
Souji - Very probable.

Yousuke - But he doesn't look like someone we can easily approach though.
Chie - Say, isn't he very scary...?
Yukiko - He wasn't like that in the past though...
Chie - ...Hm?

You know him, Yukiko?
Yukiko - I haven't talked to him lately, but his house, the textile shop,
had always been providing the souvenirs for us, so I did talk to his mother from times to times.
How about we pay a visit to the textile shop? I'm sure she'll give us an ear.

Pg. 8
Hello.

Pg. 9
Naoto - I'll take my leave then.
Kanji's mom - I'm sorry for not being of much help.
Naoto - Not at all.
Your information is very interesting. Now, do excuse me.

Yousuke - Who's that...? Such a weird guy.
Chie - That's a new face to me though.

Kanji's mom - Welcome, Yuki-chan. You're still really beautiful as before, just like your mother when she was young.
What can I do for you today? Are you here to shop with your friends?

Yukiko - Yes, something along that line.
Chie - Eh...?

Pg. 10
This scarf...
is vaguely familiar...
Yousuke - Huh? Oh yeah,
I saw it somewhere before...Where was it...?

It's that side!!
Chie - Inside the TV!! Inside that room with all the faceless posters...It's Announcer Yamano's!

Pg. 11
Kanji's mom - You know Yamano-san?
Souji - Just a little...
Umm...then Yamano-san also had this scarf?

Kanji's mom - Yes, she was the one who requested for this to be customly made in set of two, one for female and one for male.
But she said later she really only needs one, so I put another one on the shelf.

Chie - ...No good. He's connected to the first murder after all...
What should we do?
Yousuke - Don't ask me...

??? - Excuse me! Your parcel has arrived!
Kanji's mom - Yes, I'm coming.
Excuse me. I have to go out for a while.
Yukiko - Oh, don't mind.
We're leaving too. See you later.
Kanji's mom - You are? Say hello to your mother for me then.

Pg. 12
Yukiko - Oh...?

It's Kanji-kun.
Yousuke - Huh! What? Take hiding, everyone!

Chie - Umm, I'm sure he can still see us though...
Yousuke - Shh! I can't hear them!

Kanji - To-...
Tomorrow? Fine by me, but...
Huh? School? Yeah, I'll be at school, but...

Pg. 13
Naoto - I'll meet you at the school gate tomorrow after school then.

See you there.
Kanji - Su-...Sure.

He...He said he's interested in me...?
He's a guy, and I'm a guy...
Yet he's...interested in me...?

Pg. 14
Kanji - ...Huh?

...'da hell

are you looking at, jackass!!

Pg. 15
Tha...
That was so scary~ He looks even more vigorous than in the TV...
Yukiko - The one who was on the Midnight Channel yesterday is really Kanji-kun...
Yousuke - Yeah...just my thought though,

if we talk about that "what they have in common",
his mother would've fit in more though, as she's related to Announcer Yamano who was the first victim and she's a woman,
but how come the one on the TV...ended up being her son?

Souji - So his mother is the one going to be kidnapped?
Yousuke - Yeah, if we go with the reason that she's a woman, but why show Kanji instead of her then...?

Yukiko - Then it's Kanji-kun?
Yousuke - That seems like it according to the Midnight TV...despite of the fact that his mom will fit into the conditions more...
Chie - So both of them!?
Yousuke - Whoa, whoa, is that even possible though...?
Well, either one is still hypothetical though...

Pg. 16
Yukiko - Oh...this is probably the same as with mine. Come to think of it, my mother fits into the condition more than me,
since she received Yamano-san personally...but I was the targeted one.
Chie - So it's the son, not the mother this time too?
But then what exactly is the motive? It's not to silent anyone or revenge anymore.
Yousuke - We're mistaken then...? Maybe it actually wasn't hatred for the first victim nor revenge...? In another word, could that textile shop holds some kind of hint...?
Gosh, I'm all confused now!
Yukiko - But we can't just leave this alone either.
Chie - Umm...Wouldn't it be better to just go ask Tatsumi Kanji directly if anything isn't quite right or whatnot? Despite of how he's scary...

Yousuke - But say, didn't Kanji have some appointment with that weird kid that they'll "meet at the school" or something?
I heard Kanji skipped school the whole time after he entered though...Isn't that strange?

Chie - You're right.
They got some weird air around them, but that really was strange, now that you mentioned.
Kuma - [I'm on?]
Yousuke - I can smell something in the air...
Chie - Smell...? Now you sounds like Kuma...

Yousuke - But we might really get hold of something...
Let's "stake out".
I don't want the culprit to get at Kanji or the textile lady before us either.

Pg. 17
Yousuke - ...Now that we're all done,
can I have your number, Amagi?
Chie - Hey...you're after that, huh?
Yousuke - Don't get the wrong idea. Amagi's the only one I don't have the number of here. Also,

My "A" contact list is lacking.
Chie - Huh...that reminds me. Will you stop phoning in late at night
just to do your dirty talk? Make you sound like a perv.
Yousuke - I...I'm talking to Amagi!

Yukiko - ...Oh yeah, I have to buy some tofu home today.
Yousuke - Whoa...she doesn't even listen to me...
Chie - Alright, alright, see you tomorrow then.

But, I see...
Stakeout? Stalking?

I'm all excited now!

** To save Kanji, Souji's gang starts out their operation!! **

PS. I'd upload it to MediaFire as well as MegaUpload if MediaFire stops being stupid and let me upload my Persona 4 raw. :S

Persona 4
#12 "The Aperture"
Pg. 1
-- 04/30 - Sat --
** The series is back up! **

Nanako - He's back!

Adachi - 'Evening.

Nanako - We-...
Welcome back.

Pg. 2
Adachi - It might seem rare for your dad to have an accompany, but I'm bringing him home, so I just tag along.
Nice seeing you. I'm Adachi Tamotsu, am here till Spring to be Doujima-san's slave.

Doujima - What, Adachi? I'm more considerate than you think.
Adachi - Aww, get the joke, daddy! Ahahaha.

Oh yeah!

You're Amagi Yukiko-san's friend, right?
Amagi-san is back safely now! Spread the news, alright!?
Souji - That's good to hear.
Adachi - Yeah, I feel the same too.

Pg. 3
But we still don't have the clear details on it.
We did visit her just now, but Amagi-san...said she can't remember anything.
Not to mention, it looks almost as though she just disappeared into thin air while she was missing. Even we couldn't solve it yet either. Something seems really fishy about this,

like there's some backside to it...

Doujima - Don't say anything stupid, idiot!
Adachi - Oww!

So-...
Sorry.
Doujima - Don't mind him. This guy just made something up himself.

Geez, you're full of trouble...

Pg. 4
Nanako - I'm hungry.
Douji - Ah,
yeah, my belly is rumbling as well.
Adachi - Hahaha,
so you even say "your belly is rumbling" in front of Nanako-chan~

Doujima - Will you just sit down and be quiet?
...No, first, go wash your hands.
Adachi - Got it, got it.
Nanako - You too, dad!
Doujima - Ah.
...Me too, huh?

The 4th and 5th, right?

Pg. 5
If it's 4th and 5th,
well...
Guess I can take two days off.

Nanako - Really!?
Doujima - Anywhere you want to go specifically?

TV - Junes once again is open throughout the Golden Week!
Nanako - I want to go to Junes!

Doujima - Hm? We can go somewhere further out too, you know?
How about we take a trip somewhere on this occasion?

Nanako - Whoa, a trip!

Pg. 6
...You're sure of it?

Doujima - What? You think I'm lying?
Nanako - Because you never made it.

Doujima - No-...Not every year though, right?
How about you? Are you free during those times?
Souji - Yes.

Doujima - Alright, we three together then.
Nanako - Yes, together! Let's all go together!

Pg. 7
I want to bring lunch sets too!
Doujima - Hm? Oh, yeah.
Since we always eat packed food. I can't make lunch set though...
...But guess it'll be alright, since we got this guy with us.

Nanako - Yay, lunch sets!

News - Early this morning, the ATM of Bank of Inaba to the North of Inaba City got smashed with a heavy machinery. All the money were stolen.
A car, found parking at the site, was the car reported to be lost by the local public worker.

Due to approaching security firm, the thieves got away quickly after committing the crime. As for the polices...
Nanako - Dad?

Pg. 8
[05/02 MON]
OK, it's alright...
...OK
OK
...OK
...I get it.

He wants to talk to you.

He said he can't take the day off.

Pg. 9
Doujima - I'm sorry, but I'll be home late today.
Just lock the door and go to bed first.
And about the days off on the 4th and 5th...

In fact, you youngster can go spend your time alone...I can't make any space, taken the incident I'm in right now.
I don't have the choice but to come out.

Nanako - You lied to me.
You said you'll take the days off.

Pg. 10
Souji - That can't be helped.
Doujima - I'm sorry. It's an emergency...
How is...
Nanako right now?
I'm sorry, but take care of her for me...Bye.

Nanako - I'm fine.

Pg. 11
He was always like this...

Good night.

[05/03 TUES]

Pg. 12
Chie - Oh, good to see that you're home.
Hey,
I'm free today, so wanna go hang out? Yukiko's coming too.
You want to come too, Nanako-chan?

Nanako - Eh, err...Bu-...But I

Pg. 13
Souji - Let's go together.

Yosuke - Don't you pity Nanako-chan at all, for having to come here when it's Golden Week?

Pg. 14
Nanako - But I love Junes.

Yosuke - Na-...Nanako-chan...!

Nanako - But we were supposed to be out on a trip
and make lunch sets.
Yukiko - You know how to make lunch sets?

Nanako- No.

Chie - Hoh, the cook of the house? That's awesome,
"oniichan".

Pg. 15
Nanako - Onii...chan.

Yosuke - Wow, so you know how to cook? Well, you did seem skillful.
Chie - I-I'm actually good at cooking by nature too.
Maybe
if you asked, I can make you some lunch sets.
Yosuke - No...that ain't happen.
Chie - You already conclude that I can't do it? Fine then, let's compete.

It's already clear from how seriously you're taking it...Also, compete what? I never say that I can cook though?
Oh, but I do have the strange feeling that I'll win anyway though...
Yukiko - Ahaha, I get that.
Chie - Hey, Yukiko!?

Pg. 16
Yousuke - Nanako's the judge then?
Who knows? We two might even cook better than your mom.

Nanako - My mom isn't here anymore. She died in an accident.

Yousuke - Is-Is that so...? Well...
Chie - Hey...Hanamura...

Yousuke - ...Sorry, I wasn't aware of that...
Nanako - It's OK. My mom might be gone, but I still have my dad

Pg. 17
...and oniichan with me.

I'm happy that I can come to Junes today as well.

Yousuke - ...O-OK.

Yukiko - You can come to play with us at anytime too!
Chie - Yeah, let's play together.

Pg. 18
Yousuke - Let's go buy some juice, Nanako-chan!
Nanako - Yes!

Yukiko - She's really mature for her age.
Chie - Turn out we're even more like kids than her.

Alright.
I'll treat Nanako-chan with something too!

Nanako - What're you doing? Let's go.

Pg. 19
You want to share half of the takoyaki with me?

Doujima - Geez, youngsters these days, how long are you going to take the sick leave for...?
[05/05 THURS]

Pg. 20
Nanako - You're back!
Doujima - ...I'm really sorry, Nanako. I broke our promise again...
Nanako - Listen, Dad. I played with Oniichan and his friends today.

Doujima - I see...thanks to you then.
This isn't exactly an apology from me or anything, but I bought a present for you today. It's the 5th today after all.
Nanako - Junes's shirt! What's it?
== May 5th is Japanese Children Day

What's this? It's so weird.

Ahahaha, I love it!
Doujima - It took me some while to choose, but haha, you like it then?

And I bought one for you too.
I'm not treating you like a kid or anything, but just want to be equal.

Pg. 21
I think you might already have this, but well, just take it.
Souji - ...Such a strange design.

Doujima - Well then...should we have our meals?
Nanako - Yeah!

??? - GWAH...

Ugh...
Uwah...
Kanji - 'da hell...

Pg. 22
Fuck off.

Naoto - ...Is that so?

Pg. 23
Corpse hanging from telephone pole.
The foggy town, Inaba.
I see. This indeed...

is an intriguing case.

Chapter 11 RAW: MegaUpload

From now on, I'll upload the raw along with the translation just for convenience. I find it a little better to scan then t/l now, since I realized that I misnumbered the page in my t/l just after the raw is done (because I use batch scanning, so the page's automatically numbered... ._."), so in fact, I have chapter 12 scanned, but I'll upload that with chapter 12 t/l when it's done. :p

PS. Rena just taught me how to debind properly (because I complained about debinding this chapter...>_>") and it works really well in chapter 12. Sorry for tearing a couple of pages and the less than smooth border in this chapter. It won't happen again, I promise... ._."

Persona 4
#11 "Sprouting"
Pg. 1
-- 04/30 SAT --
** With their peaceful days back, each of the members... **

Yukiko - Sorry for the wait. Yours is soba, right, Chie?

Chie - Thanks! Wo~w, smells delicious...

How much longer do we have to wait?
Yukiko - Just a little more.

Pg. 2
Chie - Alright, what's it again?
...Oh yeah, you're gonna ask Yukiko about the incidence, right?
Yosuke - Amagi, I don't want to push you into recalling anything bad, but let me ask you again.
You really can't remember anything about your kidnap?
Yukiko - ...Yes.

I thought I might remember if I calm down and think, but the more I think, the more I don't understand.
But I do recall hearing the door bell...as if someone's calling,
and when I realized it again, I'm already inside that castle...sorry.

Chie - No need to apologize. That visitor must be the culprit then!?

Yosuke - I don't know...If that's true, then that guy must be very daring.
Ringing the front bell like that. The polices are searching for any witness as well...can't put any hope on that though.
Don't think he'll go around and let everyone know who he is either.

Pg. 3
Why is he doing all this?

Souji - Only the culprit will know that.
But we know one big thing for sure now...

People didn't get to "that world" by accident.
Someone kidnapped them and threw them into the TV...and that guy
is the "murderer".

Oh,
I didn't tell you yet, right?
The two of us are going to catch that culprit.
Polices won't be able to solve this case themselves. Plus, we have the "power."

Pg. 4
Chie - Count me in, too!
I'll kick his ass for throwing people in there for sure!

Yukiko - Me too...

Let me help you too. I want to know why he did this.
It's not just because Chie is in for this.
Also...if someone really hates me to the point of trying to kill me,
then I really have to know it. I won't run away anymore.

Chie - Yukiko.

Pg. 5
But how are we going to find the culprit? We don't have any clue at all.
Yukiko - I'm his third target, but I wonder if I'm also the last.
If we know who the next victim is, maybe we can prevent it, don't you think?
Chie - Prevent, hm?

The three victims so far are Announcer "Yamano Mayumi",
"Konishi Saki"-senpai,
and "Amagi Yukiko."

Chie - He's going after only the girls! Unforgivable! He's some pervert for sure.
Yosuke - If we just consider the announcer, I can see hatred as his motive. Probably of the wife of her illicit lover.

Chie - But Hiragi Misuzu has firm alibi, no?
Plus, she no longer lived with her husband,
the former secretary of the Congress, Namatame Tarou.

Yousuke - Konishi-senpai...was the first to discovered "Yamano Mayumi's" corpse,
so if it's the same culprit, his goal for targetting senpai woud be...

Pg. 6
to shut her mouth.
??? - Yeah, like for example, she got some kind of evidence.
But didn't the culprit just "throw them into the TV"?
I doubt there's any evidence enough for the police to catch the culprit...
You're right...
Then the culprit is after "girls who are related to the case of Announcer Yamano"...?
Chie - That's what we can think of for now,
and just my guess, but...If someone's supposed to be gone next...

won't they be on that on "that TV" as well!?
Yukiko was on it last time.
It's quite possible, since all the past victims were also on that "TV".
It might be blurry at first, but the main thing is they were on that program before they were gone.

Pg. 7
Souji - It's almost like a "warning before the kidnap".
We might not know what it is, but guess we have to depend on that for now.

Yukiko - We'll have to wait for the next rain to come...then?

Yousuke - ...But say

Isn't it cooked already?
Chie - Oh yeah, you're right!

Chie - Let's dig it!
Yukiko - I'm eating now.

Pg. 8
Chie - 'tis GREAT~

Yousuke - Madam Chie, may I have one sip!? Just one sip to know how it tastes!
Chie - Shut it! Go buy it yourself.
...Fine, but only one sip, OK?

Yukiko - You want some too, Seta-kun?
Souji - Yeah.

Yousuke - Whoa...'its so good...
Chie - Alright, that's your one sip. Now give it back.
Yousuke - Now I know exactly what a starved little lamb feels like~

Souji - I...I just can't stop taking more after the taste touches my empty stomach...!!

Pg. 9
Chie - Hey, you said just one sip...
GYAAAAAA!

Pg. 10
WHAT HAVE YOU GUYS DONE!
Not only the scallop but you ate down the whole thing!!?
Yukiko - My oage...

First my "Trail of Dragon" and now this...You know what's going to happen, do you...?
Yousuke - W-Wait, wait, wait!
Please, I'm seriously sorry! I just lost control of myself a bit...

I'll treat you back! I'll treat you with steak, OK!!?
Chie - Steak...!?

Yousuke - Yeah, steak!
He...Heard me, right?
Chie - S...Steak.
Yukiko - Oage...

Pg. 11
Chie - Don't mind that, Yukiko. We'll go for the steak! We can just eat cup noodle again any time, OK?
Yukiko - My oage...

Chie - ...We can just order one with less fat...
Alright, steak it is!

If we don't want fat, then we can go with fillet, right? Oh~ Fillet! I love that tasty ring it has!
Fillet!
Fillet!
Fillet!
FILLET STEAK~!
Yousuke - Why does it have to end like this...

Pg. 12
Yukiko - I came to thank you, Kuma-kun.
Kuma - Are you alright now, Yuki-chan? Kuma is being a good Kuma as Yuki-chan said, you know?
Yukiko - Good boy.
Chie - Well, we're trying to catch the culprit for this guy's sake as well.

Yukiko - I'll be with you all now. Let's work hard together, OK?
Kuma - Got it! Kuma thought you'll say that too, kuma! So Kuma prepared one for Yuki-chan too, kuma!

Yukiko - Like this?

Pg. 13
Chie - But say, how come you have so many glasses?
Kuma - Good question! Kuma always want to tell you this.
Kuma made these glasses.
Kuma have always been here, so this is how Kuma made these to kill some time.
Yukiko - Oh, but you don't have to wear it?
Kuma - Coming at me with that question? Yet another good question!

Let me tell you, Kuma's "eyes" themselves are the lenses, kuma! You don't know that, kuma?
Yosuke - Like we'll know that...

Kuma - Awww, pretending not to care and being mean to Kuma, kuma? Kuma is very skillful, you know, kuma!?
Look here, kuma! Kuma can move Kuma's fingers so well, see, kuma!?
Yosuke - To hell with that!
Kuma - Oww!

Chie - Oh, did you drop something?
Kuma - Ah, that's the defective one, kuma.
Yukiko - Oh, this...

Pg. 14
Ahaha, how's that?

Souji - It suits you well.
Yosuke - Huh!?
Yukiko - Ahahaha, yippee!

Guess I'll take this one. It even has a nose guard on.
Chie - No, please!

Kuma - Kuma didn't put the lenses on those glasses though, kuma. Kuma should've done that, kuma.
Yukiko - Awww, what a waste.

Pg. 15
Now you try it on, Chie.
Chie - Huh?
Wai...Alright, fine...

What kind of trend is this...?

Yukiko - PFFFF!

Uh...FUFU! AHAHA AHAHAHAHA!
Your...Your face...PFF....HAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHA!
Yosuke - A-Amagi-san...?
Chie - There it is. Amagi's burst of laughter...I thought no one else but me will ever see that though...
We can't do any investigation with these, can't we!? Plus, the nose clearly is the main spotlight of these glasses!

Pg. 16
Yukiko - AHAHAHAHAHA
Chie - Cut that out already!
Yukiko - Kuma-san...you should try it on, too!
Kuma - Kuma can't, kuma. The size is too small to fit on Kuma's face, kuma.

Yukiko - PFF!!

Pg. 17
Ri...Right on the mark...Pff, I can't breathe. My stomach's all twitched.
Yosuke - We...Well, at least it's good to see that Amagi's all fine and healthy.
Yeah, totally...
Yukiko - PFF...HAHAHA! That's so weird!
AHAHAHAHAHA!!

You know what?

Pg. 18
My mom is back into the business now.
Our employees really work hard too, so our inn becomes much better than before.
Maybe I really overdid myself...thinking that I have to take care of everything all alone.

Or maybe it has always been like that, but I never noticed it.

B-But...that was so embarrassing...
I never want to see it myself, and now, I went off showing it to everyone...
Chie - Ahaha, that's the same for me though.

Pg. 19
Yukiko - Ever since then...I was able to rethink more clearly about myself.

Chie - Yeah, me too...

Yukiko - [Inheriting the inn is just one of the many choices I have...]
[From now on, I'll follow my own wish.]
Pff...
AHAHAHA.
[I wonder how come I never realize something this trivial before.]

Chie - What?
Laughing to yourself?
Yukiko - It's nothing.

Pg. 20
[From now on, I'll...choose the path to my own life by myself.]
[So, guess I should start from something new to me.]

Chie - Yukiko.
What're you doing? I'll leave you behind, you know?

Yukiko - [That's right.]

Pg. 21
[Maybe I should start with some part times.]
Ah, wait for me!
Chie!!
** And there, Yukiko found herself and starts pacing forward! **

Shadow - Oh my, oh my~
Three princes!

Aww, what should I do!!?
But you know, I have somewhere I wanted to go.
To some unknown place, far, far away~
** The absurd words coming from Yukiko's shadow! **

You'll take me there, right, my prince? Aww, come quickly.

Pg. 2
Kuma - MWOH?

Is this that "hot stud" you were talking about, kuma!?
Chie - Three princes...
You mean you're counting me in as well...?
Kuma - The third one is clearly Kuma, kuma!
Chie - I doubt that...

Shadow - Chie...
Fufu, yes.

My prince...always helped leading me...
Chie, my valiant prince...
** First volume of the comic, now on sale!! **

Pg. 3
...You "was" my prince.

Yukiko - Was...?

Shadow - In the end, Chie can't do it either!
She can't take me away from this place!
Can't save me!

Pg. 4
Chie - Yukiko...
Shadow – An established inn? Training to become a hostess!?
Yukiko - S-Stop it...
Shadow - I'm SICK...of being confined already!
I just happen to be born here! And yet,

They already decided my life... from my birth till my death!
Ah, I really hate it.
I HATE IT!!

Pg. 5
Yukiko - You're wrong...
Shadow – An old tradition? The pride of the town?
That filth can just rot!

That's your true feeling.
Am I right...the other "me"!?

Yukiko - N-No...

Yosuke - No, don't say it!

Pg. 6
Yukiko - That's not true! You're...
You're not me!

Shadow - Ufufufufu!
Fine then.

Pg. 7
I’m powering up!
If you want it, then I'll...

Pg. 8
LET ME OUT!
LET ME OUT OF HERE~~~!

Yosuke - Dammit, we just can't prevent this from happening, can't we!?
Kuma - That's gonna be hard, kuma.
If she has strong will to begin with, the shadow wouldn't have come out, kuma.

Chie - Hey, Kuma-kichi.
If I take down this shadow, I can save Yukiko, right?

Kuma – We-…We’ll have to settle this, though there’s no telling if it will happen again…
But, you’re alright with that, kuma?

Pg. 9
Chie - Yeah! That's alright!!
If that happens, I'll just keep on

protecting Yukiko, no matter how many times it takes!!

Pg. 10
Let's go...
TOMOE!!

Pg. 11-12
Shadow - I want to go somewhere far away...
I want someone to take me out...

I can't get out by myself...

I just can't do anything by myself.

Aaaah
Some girl like you...

Pg. 14
Some girl like you can never be my prince!

Where're you!?

My prince!!

Pg. 15
Yukiko - ...Hanamura-kun, Seta-kun
I'm not...

Yosuke - Don't mind it, Amagi.
Everyone has the part inside them that they don't want anyone to see, not even themselves...

Yukiko - But I

Pg. 16
didn't wish for such thing...
as shutting down my inn...!!

Shadow - You're not here yet, Prince?
Come quickly,

and take me away from here!
Yukiko - Yes, Chie.

Pg. 17
You're my prince.

You're always there for me.
Shadow - As if...She never cares about me.

Take me to the world no one knows of!!
Yukiko - You always protected me.

Pg. 18
Shadow - Away from this hopeless world.

Yukiko - My valiant and marvelous prince.

Shadow - Take me, who’s to scare to even go out alone.

Pg. 19
Please,

take me away from here!

Pg. 20-21
I'm waiting for you!!

Pg. 22
I'm always eagerly waiting,
waiting for someone to take note of me.
I don't care where to...I don’t care at all.

Pg. 23
Just take me to somewhere that isn't here...
Chie - ...Let’s

End this!

Pg. 24
Yukiko - Stop...
That's enough!!

Chie - ...Yu-
Yukiko!?

Pg. 25
That's enough...It's alright now, Chie,
since you all...seem to be suffering.

I want to run away...I want someone to come and save me...

I don’t give a damn about my family’s heritage!

Yosuke - ...A-Amagi-san!?

Pg. 26-27
Yukiko - That's right...That really is what I felt.
So you...
really are me.

Why does it only have to be me...?
Why am I the only one suffering...?
How pitiful of me…

But
father,
mother,
grandpa, grandma,
everyone at the inn,
the chefs, the waitresses,
our usual guests,
everyone living in Inaba is like my family.

Pg. 28
You know?
They all have been so kind to me ever since I'm young.

Even Chie,
Chie - ...Yukiko.
Yukiko - grandpa, grandma,

or even Chousokabe!!
Chie - ...It's Muku, though.

Yukiko - I'm who I am right now thanks to the environment I'm raised in.
I might think that I want to trash the inn, but

Pg. 29
in the end, I just can't...
destroy my family...
the place I belong, where everyone is around me,

including you too, of course.

Chie - Ah...

Before this,
Chie has always reached out for me, but

this time, I'll be reaching my hand out for you.
I'll take you along.

Pg. 30-31
Let's go together.
You're all fine now.

Pg. 32
Yukiko - Fufu...
I just blew myself up.
Did I scare you?

Pg. 33
Chie - I...have always thought only of myself.
I've never heed to your suffering. I just don't know anything at all...

We're friends, yet I...
I'm sorry...
Yukiko - Chie...

Pg. 34
Chie – I always...was so jealous of you,
thinking that you have everything...

while I don't have a thing...
Thinking that, I've always feel insecure...and apathy...!
So I've always wanted you to depend on me...

Pg. 35
when in fact, I was the one depending on you.

I just can't do anything alone...
I even cause a lot of trouble for Hanamura and Seta...

I...just don't
don't know

Pg. 36
don't know what to do
without you...

Yukiko - Chie...

...I too have never
looked at you properly...

Pg. 37
Never noticed that everyone around me is protecting me...
No...I might actually notice, so I feel assured.

I fear of being hurt,
always thinking of running away...

But I...have become a bit stronger now.

Pg. 38
Chie - Yukiko! I'll become stronger as well!!

Yukiko - You don't have to, Chie.

Pg. 39
You're very strong already as you are.

It's so long that I kinda lost contact with Scarlet... ._."

Sorry for taking so long with this, Scarlet. I'm planning on getting some of P4 out to try to catch up (even though I might need to scan chapter 10 myself), but am no longer sure if you're still on it or not. Will still reserve it though, until any further word from you. Sorry once again for taking so long with it. :(

And so long that I'm forgetting stuff...have to go back to play P4 again, I guess... ._."

Persona 4
#09 "Satonaka Chie part 2"
Pg. 1
Chie - Hah!
Hiyah!
Acho!
** Comic vol.1 is now on sale!! **

What's the matter?

Pg. 2
Yukiko - ...They told me to "abandon it",

said "We can't keep it because our house is an inn."
But I pitied him,
so I ran away from home.

I'm the same as this puppy...

Pg. 3
Chie - ...Then

Why not come to my house?
My family won't mind that,
so let's go home together?

I'm Chie.
And your name?

Pg. 4
Yukiko - ...Chousokabe.
Chie - I mean your name, not the dog's.

Yukiko - ...Yukiko,
Amagi Yukiko.

Chie - Yukiko? That's a nice name.

Pg. 5
Yukiko - But that Chou-something is kinda weird.
I'll call you Muku instead.
Yukiko - Eh!?

Chie - Nice to meet you, Muku~
Yukiko - ...But I like that name.

Chie - That time, Yukiko looked really sad,
so I thought I have to protect her...

Pg. 6
Shadow - AAAAAAH

Pg. 7
You maggots~~~!!

Souji - Hanamura!

Yousuke - 'Right!

Pg. 8

Pg. 9
Kuma - Yousuke! What's wrong, kuma!? Your move is lagging, kuma!!
Normally, you would be a lot keener and harder!!
Yousuke - No...don't know if I should call that move hard, mad or piercing.
Maybe the though that I’m up against Satonaka makes me hard to fight her, or maybe I just don’t have the vibe to, or what.

Kuma - You're a maso-kuma?
Yousuke - I am not!!
Though I hate to admit that I don't know myself.

Chie - ...Hey,

did I...make a mistake somewhere?

Pg. 10
Were all the things I did only for my own self-satisfaction?

Yousuke - ...Satonaka.

Shadow - Isn't that just plain obvious...?
I'm you and you're me...no need for you to ignore me like you always did.

Chie - ...I'm not strong. I'm not as strong as Yukiko thinks I am.
I seemed strong...

Pg. 11
I seemed strong only because Yukiko was with me!!
Yousuke - Satonaka!?

Shadow - I'll be the remaining one~~!!

Kuma - Protect Chie-chan, kuma!!

Pg. 12
Chie - I'm not as beautiful as Yukiko,
nor am I as feminine as her.

I don't even know what I'll do in the future.
I might be a terrible, envious, hopeless person.

Even so,

Pg. 13
I'm really

happy to be with Yukiko...!

Pg. 14
I want to protect her. I want to quickly save Yukiko...!

Shadow - ...Foolish girl.

Pg. 15
Chie - I know.

Pg. 16
...But

Pg. 17
even so,
the fact that I like Yukiko is never a lie.

Yousuke - Idiot,
we know that already.
Souji - Everyone has that other side in them.

Chie - ...Yeah,
thanks.

Shadow - Fufufu...
Ahahahaha!

Pg. 18
Oh? Some surprised guests?
How will you come at me then?
Alright, continuing with my search for Prince Charming!
Where could you be? This place is so wide. It's so hard to find you even with my hope so high.
Ah, could you be playing hide-and-seek in this mist with me? Alright, I'll find you then~

Chie - ...No,

you're not Yukiko. Where's the real one!?
Shadow - What's that?

I am Yukiko...
Yukiko is me.

Souji - Is that...
Kuma - Yes, kuma. It's "another Yuki-chan", kuma.

Pg. 19
Shadow - Alright, back to my search!
Just wait right there, my prince!

Chie - Wait!

…と
…たっ
…I
…wa

Souji - Guess we have to head back for now. Let's retreat.
Yosuke - That's right. Satonaka will need some break as well.
…か
Chie - …
== Sorry, seriously can’t tell what she’s saying…from a single kana…

Pg. 20
Don't decide things by yourself! I can still go on...also...
If that really is Yukiko's thoughts, I...I need to go stay by her side...

Yosuke - You'll just slow us down that way.
That "power" depletes your physical and mental strength.
It'll be more assuring for us if you can help us fight with the power as ours.

You want to save Amagi, don't you?
Chie - But Yukiko's still inside!

Kuma - No need to worry, kuma. Yuki-chan is a normal person.
The shadows here won't attack normal people.
They'll only attack when the mist clears up.

Chie - ...What do you mean?
Yosuke - The foggy days in this world and in our world are reversed, it seems.
The shadow will become violent only on the day the fog here clear up…or the foggy day in our world.
It's the same as with Announcer Amano and senpai...Both of their corpses were found in the foggy days.

It's raining a lot recently, so it won’t get foggy so soon, which means Amagi is safe for the time being.
Chie - So Yukiko might get killed...by her other self like with me just now?

Pg. 21
But if Yukiko...already met with her other self?
Kuma - That Yuki-chan doesn't make rustle for nothing, kuma.
She's searching for something in this scarlet castle and wants the real Yuki-chan to see it...Kuma can clearly sense that, kuma.
You still have time until she finds it, kuma.
that thing she's searching...

Chie - ...Yukiko.
I get it now.
...Yeah,

I'm sorry for running out by myself.
Souji - Never mind that.
Yosuke - We'll rescue Amagi for sure...alright?
Kuma - Kuma~

Chie - Yep!

Pg. 22
Alright!!
I'm back to live now.

Morooka - Those four're absent again?

Chie - 'Morning. Where's Hanamura?
Is he late?

Pg. 23
Morooka - Damn, youngsters these days...Listen up.
Just because spring is the season of love doesn't mean you boys and girls can go loafing around together, kay?

Kuma - Alright! Kuma was up last night preparing this for Chie-chan.
Chie - Really? But what's that?

Mooroka - Hanamura and Satonaka are expectable, but Amagi and the new student too?
Students - I thought Seta-kun was a really serious person.
You can't judge the book by its cover, after all.
That type of guy always has something outrageous going on in his head.

Chie - Wow, what's this!? Everything’s so clear.
These glasses you were wearing are this convenient, huh?
Wait. Did you have this on yesterday as well?
Yosuke - Yeah, we did.
Chie - I was so desperate, I didn't even realize.

Pg. 24
Student - Satonaka and Amagi always skipped class together as well.

??? - Alright, the second round's up!
Let's go!!

Student - Those two're just too close to one another, don't you think?

So close it's so hard to get near both of them.

Yukiko - ...Hm.

Pg. 25
...Where am I?

Shadow - So you're finally awake.

You were just like a sleeping beauty.

Pg. 26
Yukiko - What...is this...?

A dream?

Yukiko - ...There they came.

Chie - YUKIKO!!

Yukiko - Chie!?

Pg. 27
Shadow - Welcome, all my surprise guests,
or should I say, my princes...

I've been...
waiting for you!!

Sorry for not getting this done in a LOOOOOONG while. I'll try to get to P3 sometimes as well (but am not as motivated at it as P4...plus, I don't have the raw of P3 after chapter 22, and don't want to ask the raw provider to get to it since I'll regret about it afterwards... ._.")

Persona 4
#08 "Satonaka Chie part 1"
Pg. 1
Yousuke - Amagi is really on it!
She even said her name!!

And...Wow, what the? Amagi-san...has such a nice body.
Her top is around eighty-...wait, this isn't the time to be thinking about that. I need to find some clues.

Looks like one place "here" is connected to only one place on "that side",
like how we can get to Kuma's place at Junes, but
if the place is "on our TV", wouldn't it directly connected to "where it's recording"?
Then maybe she can at least hear me...alright!

Pg. 2-3
Wow...

but if that's true, won't I poking right onto Amagi's breast?
Then that's just like...

Stop, stop! I'm not supposed to be thinking about unnecessary stuffs right now!
HAAAH!!

Yo...

Looks like we got the same ideas.
Souji - Seems like we can't get there unless we go there directly.

Yousuke - Yeah...but we're so close together.
Our places may be connected then.

Souji - Good night.!

Yousuke - Yeah.

Pg. 4
-- 04/25 MON --
Chie - I'm going too!
I'm certainly going with you!!

Yousuke - It's too dangerous. I understand how you feel, but...
Chie - You don't!!
You don't understand...Yukiko might die, you know...!?
Yousuke - And what'll we do if something happens to you!!

Chie - Doesn't that also go for you?

It's the same with you last time, isn't it, Hanamura!?
Yousuke - Ugh, can't argue to that.

Chie - I'm going too! I have to go!!
Yousuke - And the school?
Chie - I'm skipping, of course!!

Yousuke - ...Guess you're right.

Pg. 5
What're you doing?
Kuma - Can't you tell-kuma? Kuma is thinking about lots of things-kuma.
Like who's Kuma, what exactly is this world and about the culprit.
Yousuke - All I see is that you seem to have so much free time though.

Pg. 6
Kuma - Kuma just didn't get anything-kuma.
Also, Kuma just has so much to bear...
Ah, that's one pun from me, ufufu...

Chie - Is this the time to joke!? Before that, you know where Yukiko is, don't you!?
Then lead us there already!!
Kuma - Ye-...Yes, ma'am...

The scent came from that direction-kuma, and it's an usual one.
Chie-chan, you're different too, right? You're normal.
Chie - Normal...?

Yousuke - You mean how she doesn't have that "power"? In another word, she didn't come in by herself...but someone took her in, right?
Hey, I might already asked you this before,
but won't there actually be someone taping that strange midnight TV program?

Pg. 7
Kuma - Kuma told you Kuma doesn't know anything about the program! There's no one here other than Kuma and the shadows!
No one is really taping it. Plus, this world is already like this from the beginning-kuma.
Chie - Already like this from the beginning?...I don't understand that!
Kuma - Then, can you give explanations to everything in your world-kuma?
Anyhow, Kuma never saw that program before, so Kuma doesn't know-kuma.

But maybe, that happens because of the influence from this world-kuma.
There might be some triggers that let you see into this world-kuma.

Souji - But if we just see into this world,
then why would the "TV" show Amagi-san before she disappeared?

Kuma - Umm, so mysterious-kuma? How exactly is this world connected to your world...?
Kuma still doesn't understand much, but after hearing from you two,
Kuma gets the feeling that...that "program" thing is made from that girl herself.
Souji - ...Oh, so you thought it well over.

Chie - Yukiko made that program herself? What's that supposed to mean? You're just confusing me!
Also, Yukiko saying that she'll "score a hot stud"?...That's not even possible!

Pg. 8
Kuma - Hot stud?

Chie - Yukiko!!
Yousuke - Don't run off on your own, Satonaka!
Kuma - What is a "hot stud"?

Yousuke - Hey, Kuma-kichi, before we go...I was thinking about who I am a bit too.
How shall I say it...come to think of it, I never thought of such thing before till now.

But I felt...that how I came to this town and got this power was probably just to solve this case.
So I think I'll do whatever I can to make sure we drag out the culprit.

Pg. 9
I don't want any more people to fall as victims as well.

Kuma - Ah, but say
what is a "hot stud"?

Yukiko - [...She said red color suits me.]

Pg. 10-11
[I really hate my name, Yukiko...]
[Snow is cold and will melt away in no time...it's meaningless and empty...]

Chie - Yukiko...
Yukiko - [Chie is cheerful, strong and capable of everything...]
[She has everything that I don't have.]

[But I...]

[Chie...always protects me...the worthless me]

[while I am not even qualified for it...]

Chie - Yukiko, I-I'm...

Yukiko - [The kind-hearted Chie]

Pg. 12
Shadow Chie - "The kind-hearted Chie", she said...
Hilarious.

Chie - ...Eh,
who-...who're you? M-...Me!?

Shadow Chie - Yukiko...that Yukiko, huh? Saying that I protect her!?
Calling herself worthless!!?
Fufufufufufu...right on point, eh?

Yukiko is beautiful, fair-skinned and feminine.
Boys just fall all over her.

And that Yukiko

Pg. 13
sometimes looked at me with a servile look...and I just can't help but to be happy about it.

Chie - No...I-I...never-!
Shadow Chie - Fufu...
Yes, that's right.
The one who can't do anything alone is actually me...

Can't win her at all, both as a person and as a woman;
the hopeless me...
Still, that Yukiko is depending on me.

Yousuke - Satonaka!...That's
Kuma - It's a shadow-kuma.

The suppressed inner self...an unstable state of mind will loosen the control of it and a shadow will come out-kuma.
Chie - Do...Don't come!!

Pg. 14
Shadow Chie - Fufu, Yukiko is a friend...Yukiko is important...
I won't let go of her...
Chie - No...but I was...no...no,
don't come! Don't look!!
Shadow Chie - Fufufu...trying to weigh me down while ignoring me like always?

Chie - Shut up!!

Yousuke - Don't, Chie!!
Chie - You're...

You're not me!!

Shadow Chie - ...Yes.

Yes, Yukiko just can't do a thing without me...

Pg. 15
I am...
I am...I am!
I am way superior to her!!

Chie - Ah...
Aah
Aaaaah

Pg. 16

Pg. 17
Seta-kun, Hanamura!?
Yousuke - ...It just has to end with this, hasn't it?
I really don't want to get you into this, but guess I have to now.

The same thing happened to me too.

Shadow Chie - Who're you guys...
guarding the real one like that...
I am...
I am...
I am!!

More straightforward and truthful!!
Than that filthy, terrible woman!!

Pg. 1
Yukiko - So...have you got used to the school and this town yet?
** DC comic "Persona 4 vol.1" & "Persona 3 vol.5" on sale on September 26. **

It must be tough for you to be transferred to a completely new place like this.
[Seta Souji-kun just moved here some days back due to his parent's work,]

[while I'm born and raised in this town the whole time,]
[as an only daughter to the traditional top-class hot spring hotel, "Amagi Inn".]

[I was trained to become a hostess ever since I'm young, and always think that I'll live this town forever.]
I've never been out of this town, so I wouldn't know how you feel...
[But, that's alright]
[since I really like this town.]

Pg. 2
Ah...
How've you been with Chie then? Are you getting along well with each other?
...You know, Chie is really a trustworthy person.

I've always followed her.
We're in the same class last year too, so we usually hung out together...

...It's raining rather hard.

...I've to go help out at the inn now.
Ever since the case with Announcer Yamano, the media are being really rough that my mom becomes ill.

Pg. 3
The inn really needs me.
[But sometimes, this thought just flashes into my mind:]
[Someone please,]

[take me out of this place!]

Pg. 4
Chie - Yukiko...

-- 04/23 SAT --
Yukiko isn't here!

...What should I do? That thing really is true then,
about that...
anyone who's shown on the "Midnight Channel" is related to "that world".

Pg. 5
Yukiko was on it yesterday...
I really think it was her.
The clothes she wore was similar to the one she always wears at her inn...she even wore it during the interview a few days back.
She was surrounded by media since Announcer Yamano was staying at her inn before she was murdered,
and the interviewer was calling her the high school hostess, and saying annoying, inappropriate stuffs to her.

Souji - Have you contacted her?

Chie - I did tell her to take some rest since she looks really
tired lately, but she'd tell me that she'll come to school today...

And when I saw the "Midnight Channel", I got worried about her and sent her the mail last night, but she didn't respond.
Hanamura is saying some weird stuff like
people who's on that "channel" will be thrown into "there" as well!

Pg. 6
Yousuke - Calm down, Satonaka!
We've to confirm that she's fine or not first.
Phone to Amagi!!
Chie - ...Alright.

No way...
she's not picking it up.

Pg. 7
Yousuke - Seriously? Then she really
is inside "there"...?

Chie - Stop it! She got to have some other business..
Maybe she's helping out with the inn, so I don't think she'll be able to pick up the phone...
Yousuke - Weren't you the one who said she's coming!?

Chie - Pick it up...
I'm begging you.

Pg. 8
Yukiko?
Good God~ You're there!

Yep...yep.
Oh, alright.
Nothing. I'll mail back to you later...

She said a group reservation came in, so she has to help out at the inn.

Ah~ Come to think of it, this always happens at least once a year, isn't it...?
And here I am, being too worried about nothing!
Thinking something like "Maybe Yukiko got in there...?"!...Gosh.

Yousuke - You rash girl.
Chie - Sorry...
[But the next day]

[Yukiko really is gone.]

Pg. 9
Adachi - Ummm, well, should I tell you guys?
But if you're Amagi-san's friends...
then guess it's alright?

Amagi-san's family called, saying that Amagi-san had gone missing since last night.
It was Saturday, so everyone was busy, but when it becomes dark, Yukiko-san is nowhere to be found.
Ah, but we can't conclude that it's a crime yet though!
The polices are all nervous as well...whether this may be the continuation of the corpse of a missing person reappearing in the foggy night.

The most suspected one, the Enka actor, Hiragi Misuzu, was performing abroad at the time of crime, and her alibi solidly points her as being innocent.

Her husband, Namatame Tarou, was indeed shaking, but nothing else special.
The secretary was fired from all the clamor regarding Announcer Yamano, lover's problem and the murder.

Pg. 10
Maybe she was the first victim or something like that,
they said. Haha.

Ah, but did you hear about that? Like how Amagi-san was really in pain.

You see, since the first victim of this murder, Announcer Yamano, was at Amagi Inn.

Announcer Yamano was pouring awful comments about the reception's attitude at the hostess,
and the hostess fell ill from her stress.

You know, Amagi-san is the hostess's only daughter, so...maybe she was thinking about stuffs?

Did she ever hint something like running away from home?
Some even say that she was out "hiding" due to some "inconvenience"...

Opps, guess I shouldn't talk too much. Sorry, you guys.
Just forget about that then.

Pg. 11
Yousuke - ...That Amagi.
Don't make yourself suspicious. But we can't really count on the police for this then.

So we're pretty much confirmed now then. Dammit! Amagi is in a deep trouble right now...
Chie - We...We got to rescue her! What should we do!?

Yousuke - Calm done. Let's first talk to Kuma.

Hey, Kuma. Are you there?

Pg. 12
Souji - ...He bit me.
Chie - There's even a bite mark.

Kuma - What, what? What's this game you're playing?

Yousuke - This isn't a game! Is there someone inside there?
Kuma - Who's this someone then? Kuma is a lonely boy as usual though?

Pg. 13
Just a lonely boy as usual though?

Chie - Shut up!
So no one is there, right? You're sure?
Yousuke - Well, can you sense anyone else in there then? Like with yesterday.
Kuma - Sense...?

...Kuma do faintly smell something new here though-kuma. As if there really is someone here.
Kuma's nose once again tells of a solid story-kuma.

Yousuke - ...You sure we really can count on you?
Souji - That hurts...
Kuma - That's rude!

Yousuke - All right then. Kuma, will you follow that smell you're talking about? We might find some clue to the "culprit".
Kuma - Gotcha-kuma.

Yousuke - Let's all watch that "channel" today. We'll decide on our move from that.

Chie - Yukiko...

Pg. 14
Yukiko - Good evening to all~

=== Persona 4 Kapitel 5 ===
== Übersetzung von KujaEx ==

=01=
Sidetext: Die Serie des erfolgreichen RPGs wird fortgesetzt! Welche mysteriöse Kreatur ist vor Souji erschienen!?
Yousuke Gedanken: Der neue Student hat seine seltsamen Kräfte benutzt um ein Monster zu beschwören...
Yousuke Gedanken: Die Szene, die sich vor meinen Augen abspielte, hat mich beeindruckt. Yousuke Gedanken: Ich dachte mir "So könnte es passiert sein, wie Senpai gestorben ist...".
Yousuke Gedanken: Und vielleicht habe ich sogar eine ähnliche Kraft...
Yousuke: Das ist sagenhaft, Sensei!

=02=
Teddy: Das ist fantastisch! Teddy ist wirklich erstaunt! / Se... Sensei? / Es war also wirklich die Fähigkeit des Sensei, die euch hierher gebracht hat. / Teddy ist von der Kraft des Sensei so beeindruckt! / Nicht wahr? / Yousuke stimmt doch Teddy zu, nicht?
Teddy: Auaaa!
Yousuke: Ach, jetzt redest du auf einmal doch wieder mit mir, du blödes Pelztier!
Teddy: Okay... / Sorry.
Yousuke: Mann, du bist schon eine Qual.

=03=
Stimmen: Junes soll endlich zu Grunde gehen...
Yousuke: Was...!?
Stimmen: Alles wegen Junes... / Hast du gehört? Saki-chan von der Konishi Familie arbeitet als Teilzeit in Junes! / Tja... wenn ihr Geschäft keine Kunden mehr hat, dann bleibt ihr wohl nichts übrig... / Ihr Vater muss wirklich in Schwierigkeiten stecken, wenn er seine Tochter bei Junes arbeiten lässt... / Ja, Junes ist Schuld für ihren Bankrott. / Das arme Mädchen...
Yousuke: Was sind das für Stimmen...!? / Tze! / He...Hey, Teddy! Hast du nicht gesagt... / ...dass dieser Ort real ist für die, die hier leben...? / Heißt das auch, dass das alles Realität für Senpai war...?
Teddy: Teddy kennt nur diese Welt... / ...aber alles ist hier real, denkt Teddy.
Yousuke: Wenn das alles real ist, muss Senpai diese Stimmen auch gehört haben...

=04=
Yousuke: Senpai...
Stimme: Wann verstehst du endlich!?
Yousuke: Das ist... die Stimme ihres Vaters...
Stimme: Hörst du denn nicht den Klatsch über diesen Laden!? / Bist du nicht meine älteste Tochter? Schämst du dich nicht!? / Warum arbeitest du dort!? Für Geld? Für einen Mann!?
Yousuke: Was... / ...soll das...?

=05=
Stimme: Warum von allen Teilzeit-Jobs gerade in Junes...?
Yousuke: Aber mit ihr Zusammenzuarbeiten hat doch so viel Spaß gemacht. / Und sie hat sich nie beschwert... / Ist das die Wahrheit... / War das wirklich Senpais Realität!? / Das ist... / ...das Foto, welches ich mit all meinen Freunden von Junes gemacht hab. / Haha... sie hat nie etwas gesagt...
Stimme: Ich habe... / ... ihm nie die Wahrheit gesagt...
Yousuke: Diese Stimme... Senpai!?

=06=
Stimme: Ich habe ihm nie von meinen Gefühlen erzählt... / Ich habe immer gedacht, dass Hana-chan...
Yousuke: Mh...? / Ich?
Stimme: Hana-chan ist... / ...wirklich nervig.
Yousuke: W... Was?

=07=
Stimme: Ich war nur freundlich, weil er der Sohn meines Chefs war... / Aber er dachte, ich würde mich für ihn interessieren. Er hat so stark gespielt... das hat mich angekotzt. / Junes war mir völlig egal... / ...aber wegen Junes muss das Geschäft meiner Eltern schließen und mein Vater und alle anderen reden nur schlecht über mich... / Ich wünschte, sie würden einfach sterben…

=08=
Yousuke: Niemals… / Das kann nicht sein… / Das ist nicht… / Konishi-Senpai… / Das ist sie nicht… / Senpai ist nicht so eine Person!!
Dark Yousuke: Oh, welche Tragik… / Bin ich nicht bemitleidenswert…? / Aber der sich doch am meisten darüber ärgert…

=09=
Dark Yousuke: Bin doch ich, nicht wahr!? / Hahahaha…
Teddy: Dieses Gefühl… / Das ist der „Schatten“!

=10=
Dark Yousuke: Wie lange willst du noch so nett und freundlich spielen? / Dieses verdammte Junes… es ist doch so nervig. / Dieses Leben auf den Land hat mich doch von Anfang an genervt, oder nicht!?
Yousuke: Was sagst du da…? / Das denke ich nicht…
Dark Yousuke: Ach, erzähl mir doch keinen Schwachsinn. Ich kann durch deine Lügen hindurch sehen. Weißt du auch warum? Denn… / ...ich bin du. / Du benutzt ihren Tod als Ausrede! / Du kamst nur aus reiner Neugier hier her! Konishi-Senpai war dir doch dabei völlig egal.

=11=
Teddy: Ein Schatten… zum ersten mal sehe ich einen so nah. / Ich spüre seine große Stärke.
Yousuke: NEIN!! / Wer und was zur Hölle bist du!?
Dark Yousuke: Es stimmt, ich bin du! / Aber sprich ruhig weiter!
Yousuke: Rede keinen Scheiß… das kann nicht sein… / Niemals…
Dark Yousuke: Ja, sag es!
Yousuke: ...bist du mein ich!

=12=
Dark Yousuke: Ja, du hast Recht. / Ich… / ...bin nicht mehr du…! Jetzt kann ich machen, was ich will…! / Dieser Ort… / ...der Markplatz… / ...Junes… / Ja, selbst dich… / Ich werde euch alle zerstören!!

=13=
Teddy: Was für eine starke Kraft! / Wir müssen flüchten! Flüchten!

=14=
Schatten: Ja-Ja-Ja-Jan!

=15=
Schatten: Hahahahaha! / Das macht so viel Spaß!
Yousuke Gedanken: Das ist also die Wahrheit…
Souji: Hanamura! Tu was gegen ihn!
Yousuke Gedanken: Senpai und ich ähneln uns sehr… / Deshalb sind wir vielleicht zusammen gekommen.

=16=
Yousuke Gedanken: Haha… aber soll das wirklich heißen, dass dieses Ding ich bin? / Wie ironisch… / Senpai wurde also auch von ihrem eigenen „Ich“ getötet… / Ich dachte, ich könnte einfach ein Held werden… genau wie der Typ…

=17=
Yousuke Gedanken: Vielleicht stimmt es sogar… / ...und ich hab wirklich nicht nur an Senpai gedacht.
Souji: Hanamura?
Yousuke: Ja?

=18=
Souji: Lässt du es einfach zu, dass dich dieses Ding tötet? / Willst du das!? / Wirklich, willst du das!!? / Wenn du wirklich so einfach aufgibst, dann wäre es wohl besser, / ...wenn ich zu deinen Henker werde.
Sidetext: Souji bringt Yousuke wieder zu Bewusstsein, nachdem er seine Kontrolle verloren hat! Der Gegenschlag folgt im nächsten Kapitel!!

Persona 4
#06 "Buddy"
Pg. 1
Yousuke - ...This guy
just looks so cool.

...I really want to
be like him.

...Can I really be like that?
Shadow - Dammit.
What the hell are you?
Acting all cool like that! You're such an eyesore!!

Yousuke - I...

I wanted...

Pg. 2
I wanted...to be able to speak to you more, senpai.

I wanted to know more about you,

but guess I was too late. If I can...I really wanted to save you,
even though I might end up annoying you by saying that.

...Why does it have to be you?

Why do you...have to...die...?

This is so...irritating and sad.

Pg. 3
Dammit, I want,
I want to be stronger...

Haha...What's this?
...Oh right.

Pg. 4
This is what this world is like.

Maybe, this is what it always is like, no matter where I am.

It's not just what I wanted to be, but what I can be.

What? This is just

Pg. 5
up to my heart, isn't it?

Pg. 6
I remembered now; the time I met you for the first time...

Back then, I was looking down at how rural this place is.
...Maybe I still am like that.

It was that time that you came up to me,

Pg. 7
and told me that my dad is just my dad and I am who I am...

I don't know whether you were sincere about that or not...
but even if you weren't, those words really pleased me.

Your words made me think for the first time that this town might not be as bad as it seems.

Senpai,

Pg. 8-9
thank you.

Pg. 10
Kuma - Yousuke...

Yousuke - ...Haha...now you see my dark side, huh?

Kuma - That was originally inside you, Yousuke-kuma.
It might start rampaging again if you don't accept it-kuma...

Yousuke - I know.

Pg. 11
This is really bad...having to face myself like that.
I already knew it...but it's just so disgusting that I
didn't want to accept it...

But...all of that is still me, isn't it?

Before that...

Let me give you one punch.

Pg. 12
Since that really hurts, alright?
I took all the pains after all. Just isn't at all fair.

Souji - That Shadow actually landed quite a lot of hits on me though.

No.
Yousuke - What?

Souji - If you want to do it, then let it be a squared one.

Yousuke - ...Heh.

Gosh, I
really like this guy.

Pg. 13
I want to be on the same ground as him, to be on par with him,
to be accepted by him.

That's why
Alright!
Got it. Come with all you have then!!

Souji - Certainly.

Yousuke - Here I come!!

Pg. 14
なんか青春みてーだな
Guess that's what youth is for you.

Pg. 15
We both end up lying sprawled out.
The sky isn't at all blue though.

Hey...let's find out who this "culprit" really is.
Someone might end up dying again if we don't do anything about this.

Maybe we can even save the person who is thrown into this place,
even though this world might be the real cause behind the death of the victim itself.

I can't forgive the guy who uses this world as his "weapon"...
Seeing the town I live in like this really makes me feel snapped more than frightened.
Even thought we probably can say that just because we came here from outside.

Pg. 16
"Murdering through putting people into the TV", no way the police can solve that by themselves.
So...aren't we left with only one choice? I'm not half-joking here, alright?

I...want to take revenge for senpai too.

Plus, we already promised Kuma.

Kuma - You'll keep your promise-kuma!?

Yousuke - What're you saying?
You want to return this world to normal, didn't you?

Pg. 17
If we don't, you won't let us out of this place. Didn't you say that yourself?

Kuma - Ye-...Yeah, Kuma did-kuma!
Kuma thought you forget all about Kuma already-kuma.

Yousuke - This is just the beginning...right? Do treat us well then.

...To be honest,
I might act cool and all, but I can become anxious at things as well.

Pg. 18
I got the feeling that if I stick with you, we'll find the culprit and get this mystery solved for sure.

Alright!
I'm depending on you now, buddy!!

Kuma - Muh

Pg. 19
Kuma really feels like an outlier.
Yousuke - Hey.
Cheer up. Don't cry.
Kuma - Kuma isn't crying-kuma. No tears are coming out either-kuma.

Chie - You...
YOU ARE BARCK...!!
Yousuke - Oh, Satonaka? Whoa, what's with that wet face?
...Say, you didn't tell anyone about this, right?

BUH!

Pg. 20
Chie - YOU CAN STILL ASK ME WHAT'S WITH MY FACE!? YOU IDIOTS! YOU'RE
JUST THE WORST!!
I can't believe it! You both are just plain horrible!!

The rope snapped just like that...
I didn't know what to do at all...

I was...
so worried about you...

Yousuke - ...Satonaka.

Chie - I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU!
GAH, THIS IS PISSING ME OFF!!

Pg. 21
Let me just give you one big punch.
Yousuke - Wha...Hey.
Don't...
I totally forgot that I have you do that.
Well...
Not like I totally forgot about it though.

Chie - ...Hanamura,
you seem a bit different? Did something happen?
Yousuke - ...Huh?

Well, just a little.

Pg. 22
Chie - Today really is a tiresome day.
Better get back, take a bath and go to bed.

Yousuke - I got the feeling...I'll be having a good sleep today.

Chie - ...Good.

Yousuke - Hehe...well, see you tomorrow,

Pg. 23
at school then!

I'm not subscribed to BLACK Maoh, so I can't do anything about that until someone, perhaps Mizutama, scan the raw...in opposed to Dengeki Maoh, which I can still can the raw from it if needed (Dengeki Maoh have lots of good manga after all. TotA, P4, ToD:DC, Hi no Kagutsuchi, Ragnarok, Shining Force: Feather, Sacred Blaze, World Destruction, Star Ocean 2...and another Basara manga about to come this month.

Persona 4
#05 “Hanamura Yousuke part 2”
Pg. 1
Yousuke – The transferred student had activated his strange power and called out a monster
** Once again the opening to the series!! What is that mysterious creature that appears upon Souji’s summoning? **

The scene I saw before my eyes amazed me and I can’t stop the rapid beating of my heart
Thinking to myself “Then this might actually be how senpai died” . . .

And “Then maybe I also have that kind of power”

Kuma – That’s marvelous, sensei!
== I don’t know what the English version uses, but it’s the way Kuma calls Souji throughout the game . . . in Japanese at least . . . >_<”

Pg. 2
That’s awesome-kuma. Kuma is really moved!!
Souji – Se- . . . Sensei?
Kuma – So it was sensei’s power that brought you two here then-kuma?
Kuma is really surprised that sensei has such a wonderful power!

Right?
You agree with me, Yousuke?

Yousuke – And why do you act so casual with me all of the sudden? Don’t get too carried away, idiot
Kuma – MUGYU!

Alright . . .
Sorry

Yousuke – Geez, you seriously are a pain in the ass . . .

Pg. 3
People – Junes could just go die already . . .
Yousuke – Wha!!

People – It’s all because of Junes . . .
By the way, I heard Saki-chan of the Konishis is working part-time at Junes as well
Well . . . in the time where there’s no costumer right now . . . that is
He must really be in a big trouble, having his daughter working for Junes like that
Since it’s all because of Junes as well that our sales drop
Such a troublesome girl she is . . .

Yousuke – What are these voices . . .

He- . . . Hey, Kuma! You said that . . .
This place is the reality of those who lived here, right . . . ?
Does that means this is also a reality for senpai when she was lost in here . . . ?
Kuma – Kuma . . . only knows about this world
But that’s what it’s like here-kuma. It’s all real-kuma.
Yousuke – Real . . . then senpai really heard all these . . .

Pg. 4
Senpai . . .

Konishi’s father – When will you understand, Saki!?
Yousuke – This is . . . senpai’s father’s voice . . . ?

Konishi’s father – You already know what they’re gossiping around this place!
Aren’t you ashamed of yourself for being the oldest daughter of this old shop!?
Yousuke – What
Is this . . . ?
Konishi’s father – Was it for the money? For a man!?

Pg. 5
To go work part-time in that place of all the places
Yousuke – But . . . part-time is fun
And she never said . . . a single word
Is this really . . .

Is this really senpai’s reality!?

This is . . .

The photo I took with all the part-time friends at Junes . . . ?
Haha . . . and she actually didn’t feel like taking back then

Konishi – . . . I had never
Never actually tell him . . .

Yousuke – This voice . . . senpai!?

Pg. 6
Konishi – I’ve never told him of my true feelings . . .
I always think . . . that Hana-chan is . . .

Yousuke – Eh . . . ?
About me . . . !?

Konishi - Hana-chan is . . .

Really annoying

Yousuke - . . . Eh?

Pg. 7
I was just befriending with him since he’s the son of my boss . . .
勘違いして成り上がって…ほんと　ウザい
But he ends up getting it wrong and acting all high . . . and it really annoys me

I don’t care about Junes . . .
Because of it, my shop which is about to close already, my complaining father and all the nearby people who just say whatever they want . . .

Everything can just go die already . . .

Pg. 8
Yousuke – No way . . .
How can this . . .
Konishi-senpai isn’t . . .

Senpai isn’t . . .

Senpai isn’t . . . this kind of person!!

Shadow Yousuke - . . . How tragic

So pitiful, don’t I . . . ?
. . . But the one thinking that it’s annoying is . . .

Pg. 9
Me myself, right!?
Hahahaha . . .

Kuma – This sensation . . .

It’s the “Shadow”-kuma!

Pg. 10
Shadow Yousuke - How much longer are you going to act all friendly and nice like that?
The marketplace, Junes; they all are freaking damn annoying!
This boring lifestyle . . . living in the countryside like this is annoying to begin with, isn’t it!?
Yousuke – What are you saying . . . ?

I’ve never thought like that
Shadow Yousuke – What’s with the rush! I’ve seen through everything. Why? Because . . .

I am you

You came here just because of your own excitement, just bluffing that you did this for Konishi-senpai!
Using the death of your lovely senpai as an excuse

Pg. 11
Kuma – Shadow . . . this is the first time I’ve ever seen it
I can sense its strong power since it comes right before someone like sensei

Yousuke – No!!
What the hell are you! Who the hell are you!?

Shadow Yousuke – Oh yes, it is!!
Fine then, go ahead and say some more!
Yousuke – D- . . . Don’t bullshit with me! No way . . . you could have been me!!
You can never
Shadow Yousuke – More! More!!

Yousuke – Be me!!

Pg. 12
Shadow Yousuke – Yeah, you’re right
I’m . . .
Not you anymore! I am me! I’ll do as I like . . . so

Here!
This market place!

Junes!
And even you!!

I’ll destroy all of it!!

Pg. 13
Kuma – What a powerful energy-kuma!
Retreat! Retreat~!

Pg. 14
Shadow Yousuke – Ja-ja-ja-JAN!!

Pg. 15
Hyahahaha!
This is so fun!!

Yousuke – So that’s how it is . . . maybe

Souji – Hanamura! Can you so something, Hanamura!!
Yousuke – Senpai and I are actually alike . . .

That’s why we’re attracted to each other . . .

Pg. 16
Haha . . . what the hell? Does that mean that thing is me then?
So hilarious
Senpai also got killed by her own self then . . .

I thought it would be great if I can just luckily become a hero like that guy . . .

Pg. 17
. . . Then I really
Wasn’t thinking about senpai at all maybe

Souji - . . . Hanamura
Yousuke – Eh

Pg. 18
Souji – Are you going to let it kill you just like that?
Is that what you want!?
Is that what you really want!!?

If you want it to get you just like that

Then I’ll kill you

Persona 4
Chapter 4 “Awakening”
Pg. 1
Kuma – Oh, I get it now! So, you guys got to be the culprit then-kuma!
Since you guys can come in here . . .

I don’t think anyone pushed you in as well!
That means the No.1 suspects are you two-kuma!

** The rapid soar in popularity! The second chapter after the move!! What will become of Souji and Yousuke after they fixed their idea on the culprit that threw people into the TV that Kuma mentioned!? **

You are the one who threw people in here for sure-kumaaaa!!

Pg. 2
Yousuke – Don’t be stupid!
We came here to stop that culprit guy!
Do you think we would come to this place where we aren’t even sure if we can get back out if not for that!!?

. . . You said someone threw people in here, right?
Then you should know something about it. Say it out

Kuma – MUKEEH! Kuma is the one who wants to know!
Kuma always stays here but Kuma never gets this distressed before

Can you prove it then-kuma? Prove that you guys aren’t the one throwing people in here then!

Pg. 3
Yousuke – Ugh . . . Proof!?
Even if you said it, we don’t have that kind of
Well . . .

Kuma – There, you really are the one!

Souji - . . . If I really am the culprit

I would have whacked you down with this golf club

It’s because you too didn’t cause any harm to us, so we can trust you

I wonder if that’s OK?

Pg. 4
Kuma – OK

Yousuke - . . . Why the heck is your attitude so different from when I said it? So you believe us now then?
Kuma – Kuma still has some doubt, but this person helped Kuma up last time-kuma
Kuma will believe you then . . . but

As said, Kuma wants you two to help Kuma search for the culprit-kuma

Kuma just . . .
Want to live peacefully like before . . . that’s all . . . –kuma

If it turned out that you were lying to Kuma . . .

Pg. 5
Then Kuma won’t show you the way out!

Yousuke - . . . This troublesome guy
But this time is different from last time though

Since this time I already prepared the-
. . . Ah

Pg. 6
Chie - . . . I told you

THAT REALLY DOESN'T WORK~~~!

Yousuke – DAMMIT

I don’t really want to say this, but I’ll find that culprit guy for sure
So you better help us out of here, OK!!

Pg. 7
Souji – Can I ask you something?

That program, the “Midnight Channel”, was it really filmed in this place?
Kuma – Program? Filmed?

This world is like this from the very beginning already-kuma. No one actually filmed this place or anything-kuma
But that side seems to be interfering with this side, so this side became weirder and weirder-kuma

Kuma will lead you to where the latest person disappeared then, so follow me-kuma
Souji – Konishi-senpai!?

Oh yeah, listen up
People over at our world are being killed, OK?
Corpses are found when it was fogging over there

Pg. 8
It got to have some connection with this place for sure
Kuma – The corpse during the foggy day?
If that side fogs up, the fog at this side will clear up-kuma

If the fog is clear, “Shadow” will lose control and it will be very dangerous

Yousuke – “Shadow”? If it is foggy over there, the fog here will clear up?
The air here seems fine, but the fog here is just so thick that we can’t see anything
Kuma – That’s bad. You really can’t see a thing around us-kuma?

Can’t help it then! Wear this-kuma!!

Yousuke – What is this . . . eyeglasses?

Pg. 9
Wow . . .

Amazing, I can see everything so clearly now
It’s as if there’s no fog around us at all . . . but

Pg. 10
Isn’t this exactly like the town’s local marketplace?
Kuma – Many strange places had appeared around here lately-kuma
It’s getting noisier and weirder that it troubles Kuma-kuma
Yousuke – How much longer are you going to talk . . . ?

But one thing I can say, is for those living here, this place is real to them
Yousuke – Real? I don’t really get it

But if this place is the same as our town’s market place, then up ahead is . . .

I knew it . . . this place
is Konishi Liquor Store

Senpai . . . this is where she disappeared then?
But why . . .

Pg. 11
Kuma – Wai- . . . Wait-kuma! It’s there!!
It’s going to attack us now-kuma!

Yousuke - . . . ?
What is?

Kuma – Shadow!!

Pg. 12
Souji – Hanamura!!
Yousuke - . . . Gah

“Shadows” are the “darkness” that roamed around in this world-kuma!
== Yeah, “shadow” is actually . . . “shadow” . . . but I just think it’s weird . . . “Shadows are the shadow” . . . sounds weird . . . not a good way of defining something as well . . . >_>”

Normally, it will hide itself, but once it becomes violent, we can’t deal with them-kuma!!

Yousuke – Does that mean these things killed senpai?

Pg. 13
Kuma – DON’T-KUMA!!

Normal attack won’t work with Shadows-kuma!!

Pg. 14
Igor – Welcome . . . to my Velvet Room

This is the room that only those who had made a “contract” of some form can enter
I’m Igor . . . very pleased to meet you

In fact, right now, there is a turn in your fate, and if you solve continue solving the mystery like this, your future might be completely sealed off

My duty is to go help you, my guest, to avoid that from happening
This is the tarot card that will tell of your future
. . . Oh my

Pg. 15
It would seem that you get a really interesting card

Margaret – I would wish . . .

That you can move on without any confusion

Nice, Yousuke-centric narration . . . XD

Anyway, I already said, I won't change Kuma to his English counterpart . . . I won't let him. *hug my cute, little Kuma-chan* There is this HUGE difference between him and "Teddie" that I don't want to even think about it . . . I prefer Kuma the way he is . . . :(

Anyway, rather than looking at me ranting over the English version of the game, enjoy the translation. Please take note as well, if you didn't already, that from now on, it will be a switch between P3 and P4. P4 is becoming monthly while P3 turned to quarterly, so do my translation time table for those two. :p

TV – Junes appreciates all customers daily
Please come, see and feel it

Nanako – Everybody’s young life!
Junes!

. . . Both otousan and oniichan are really late

I want . . .
To go to Junes

Pg. 2
Chie – Where’s this place . . . some kind of studio?
I’m really surprised that Junes’s TV can connect to some place like this
Is this some kind of attraction?
Yousuke - . . . How is that even possible?

I don’t understand. Say, just what really just happened?

Chie - . . . What should we do then?

Souji – How ‘bout just looking around? Looks like there isn’t an entrance nor an exit as well.

Pg. 3
Yousuke - . . . You’re right

Guess we need to think of a way to get out of here first
I can’t really see through this fog, but let’s just start from where we actually can go to first

Chie - . . . Wa-
Wait for me!

Pg. 5
That room looks kind of shady . . .
Yousuke – I’m going in
Chie – Huh . . .
With no hesitation at all?

Yousuke – There’s nowhere else that we can actually go ahead and get moving

Chie – . . . You’re right, but

Souji – What is this? A . . . room?

. . . Did we get out already?

Pg. 6
Yousuke - Dammit, a dead end?
Chie - . . . Wait

Around us . . .

Pg. 7
Are these posters? The faces got all ripped out
This person must be hated really, really badly . . . also

This chair and this rope . . . it’s pretty clear what is for . . .
Chie - . . . No

Let’s head back . . . I’m feeling really sick right now. Let’s go back to that place just now and find some other way out
I . . .
Don’t want to stay here

Pg. 8
Souji – Let’s head back
Yousuke – . . . True, I don’t know if it’s because of the atmosphere or not, but I’m feeling gross right now

Pg. 9
Yousuke – Satonaka, don’t cry, OK?
Chie – I’m not crying

Souji – There’s something there . . .
Chie – Something? What’s this something!!

Yousuke – Hey, Satonaka . . .

Pg. 10
You go, with that kung-fu skill you’re so proud of
Chie - So now you look like you’re just about to run . . .

Fine then

== lol . . . poor Kuma . . . XDDD

Pg. 11
Chie – Wh- . . . what is this?
A mascot? A monkey . . . no, a bear?

What the heck is this guy?

Kuma – An- . . . And just who the heck are you too-kuma?

Pg. 12
Chie – He can talk!?
Yousuke – Honestly, I got a feeling that I heard him yelled out something like “Gwe!”
== It’s the SFX when Chie kicked Kuma. He . . . yelped . . . XD

Kuma – Can you pull me up?

Yousuke – He’s this useless? What a pain

Souji – Umm, where is this place? And who are you?

Pg. 13
Kuma – Kuma is Kuma-kuma
I lived here alone-kuma
This place is where I always lived, and it doesn’t have a name. But first . . .

You guys better go back to there-kuma

Yousuke – I’m telling you! We actually want to go back
Kuma – Kuma already has Kuma’s problem with someone putting people into this place
Kuma don’t know who did it, but Kuma really want you people over there to just use your head a bit!

Pg. 14
Souji – Someone . . . putting other people in here?
Chie – What is that supposed to mean? You suddenly just came out of nowhere and talk about people being put into here!

Wasn’t it more of this placing pulling us in?
It’s us that got into trouble! Just what is going on around here!?

Kuma – Hiii!

Nothing really . . .
It’s just like I told you-kuma . . . but . . . but you better hurry and go back now-kuma

Pg. 15
So you just want to tell us to go away, didn’t you? That’s actually what we want to do right now as well
But I said we don’t know the way out of here!

Kuma – And that’s why Kuma said Kuma will show you the way out! MUKEEEH!!
== Kuma likes to make weird sounds . . . he always make weird sounds . . . XD

Yousuke – . . . I didn’t hear that

Pg. 16
Wow, a TV! You’re saying that if we get into it, we can go back?
Kuma – Even though Kuma don’t know about the theory behind it, but

Aaah, get going already-kuma! Kuma is busy right now-kuma!

Yousuke – Wai-what are you doing all of the sudden. It won’t work!
Don’t push me! We can’t go in there!!

Pg. 17
Announcement – Right now, we’re having our usual time service at the first floor’s food stores, and tonight, we have yet another new product,
Junes’s fresh wild vegetables set. Please don’t waste this precious time.

Chie – Are we . . . back?
Yousuke - It is already this late, huh?

Souji – Hanamura . . . that

Yousuke - . . . Oh yeah
Chie – What’s it?
Yousuke – Look at that poster . . . isn’t that the same as those torn ones we saw over at that side?

An Enka singer, “Hiiragi Misuzu”
== Enka is a kind of Japanese traditional ballad

Isn’t she in the news lately as well . . . that her husband had been out with Announcer Yamano that just died?
Chie - And what of it?

Pg. 18
Are you saying that that scary room over there has something to do with Announcer Yamano’s death?

Yousuke – Well, there is a lot of awful stuff there as well . . .
Would be strange if it really is nothing . . .

Aaah, leave it as that then
Let’s just all stop talking about it!
Chie – You’re the one who started it . . .
Yousuke – Anyhow, I’m just going to forget about whatever happened today then

Since, well, it’s seriously is not possible, yeah!

Chie – . . . Let’s go home then
Souji – OK

Pg. 19
Yousuke – Despite of that fact that I was just acting tough

I can’t possibly forget about that weird event . . . that that night
I’m so bothered by it that I have to watch the “Midnight Channel”

The “TV” was showing that as if it is the most natural thing ever, but I’m not at all surprised by it

“Inside the TV” is the picture of a girl who looks just like Konishi-senpai, like I saw the night before

Pg. 20
Her picture is very clear and vivid, and seems to be somehow in pain

While I do feel that somewhere in my chest is burning hot
I just keep on staring at that person

And in the following day

Pg. 21
Konishi Saki-senpai, the first person who found Announcer Yamano’s corpse
Was found . . . as a mysterious corpse just like Announcer Yamano

Chie – Ah . . . Hanamura

Yousuke – . . . You two, did you watch that midnight TV last night?

Pg. 22
Chie - What’s with you . . . ?
Someone just died and you can still talk about that? Also, the victim is
Yousuke – I know! Just listen to me!!

That time . . . and this time as well . . . that one who was shown in the TV, I think it’s really Konishi-senpai
I saw her struggling in pain . . .
And all of the sudden, the screen just faded off . . .
Chie – What do you want to say?

Yousuke - Senpai’s body . . . they said it’s similar to Announcer Yamano’s, right?
Didn’t you say it before . . . that some guy made a buzz about “Announcer Yamano is my soul mate”?

So I was wondering, if Announcer Yamano got shown in that “TV” before she died as well . . .

Pg. 23
Chie – What are you . . .

Yousuke – All I can think of right now is that this is somehow connected
Right? . . . You’re not thinking that I’m saying something weird right now are you?
It isn’t weird, right? In fact, this world is already filled with strange things, isn’t it?
So, could it be that both senpai and Announcer Yamano went into that world . . . no
Rather, did someone really throw them in there, like what that “Kuma” said?

. . . So please, I need you to be there or else I can’t get into the TV

I seriously want to go to that world again and confirm it
There might even be some place there related to senpai. I want to know why does senpai has to die!

Pg. 24
I’ll be waiting for you at Junes

At that time, it just seems
I cannot hardly suppressing the throb inside my chest

Pg. 25
So you’re come!!

Chie – Yeah, to stop some idiot!

If, for some reason, what you said was really true
Then we will never know what can possibly happen to you
Since we don’t know what is actually there on that other side

Yousuke - . . . yeah, but we did manage to get back, didn’t we?

Pg. 26
If we can get to that place . . . by going through here, we might be able to meet with that Kuma again

Chie - . . . that rope will be the lifeline just in case then?

Yousuke – You got it right, so Satonaka, would you please wait for us here?
We two will go to that other side

Chie – Seta-kun . . . can you just say something to this idiot as well?

Yousuke – You can’t just leave it as it is also, can’t you?

Pg. 27
Souji – Alright then

Chie – Oh, you two are just being silly, both of you
I never thought you would be that kind of person, Seta-kun . . .

Yousuke – Alright! We’re going then
Satonaka, we might make you look a bit like a weirdo, but I’m leaving the guard to you!
Chie - . . . Ugh

Pg. 28
Promise that you’ll be back though!!

Yousuke – And
Even though I don’t know whether it’s the sorrow or resentment towards the loss of senpai, or was it the anger I have towards the murderer

Or perhaps it’s just something derived from the feeling of love that drives me, but

Pg. 29-30
Kuma – Wh- . . . Why did you guys . . . come in here again-kuma?

Yousuke – Whatever it is, counting from today, one certain thing is that this will be an unforgivable one year
Souji – Hehe . . .
Yousuke – We are here to get hold of the truth
That I’m determined to investigate on the matter for the first time, along with my comrades

** Souji and Yousuke who got back into the TV once again! What will be the fate of the two!? **

Thank you for reading . . .

[English] [Translation] Persona 4 2 by Ju-da-su

2008-12-26T15:59:33+00:00

Quickly release, quickly go . . . am in hurry . . . >_<"

Oh, and . . . I gave up after half the chapter about the ordering . . . watched some English vid (with hardship . . . I don't like the English voice of P4 . . . >_<") but I got confused of who call who by what, so I'll just use what the Japanese one use. And . . . using Japanese naming system (last name first . . . >_<") Sorry for changing abruptly . . . I'll probably follow the Japanese one more than the English anyway (Kuma probably in next chapter . . . but I'll never call him Teddie and will keep his "kuma" at the end . . . -_-")

PS. Yep, I avoid spoiling anyone . . . so, some "???" was just there because it's spoiler (and major spoiler . . . only the name though . . . -_-") so . . . cut that out . . . I know you don't want to get spoiled as well, BakaScarlet . . . :p

ENJOY~! XD

Persona 4
Chapter 2 “Midnight Channel”
Pg. 1
** The second chapter of the popular series! Please also check the last page for an urgent news! **

??? – You want to know the truth . . . ?

If so . . . then try to catch me . . .

Pg. 2
So you are . . . the one who chase after me

Fufu . . . well done . . .

Pg. 3

Pg. 4
Looks like you can still see through a bit, even in the fog like this

Pg. 5
I see . . .
You truly have interesting background knowledge, but . . . you won’t catch it so easily
Whatever you’re seeking

Even harder, for “the truth” . . .

Souji – The fog . . . is getting thicker
??? – No matter who it is, people will only look at things the way they want it to look . . .

Maybe . . . we will meet again . . .
In another place other than here . . .

Pg. 6
Souji – Ah . . .

That’s right. I will be staying at my uncle’s place from now on . . .
Got to come home early and organize my things

Nanako – Morning . . . the breakfast is ready now
-- 04/12 TUES --

Pg. 7
Souji – Nanako . . . you’re alone? What about your father?
Nanako – Work . . . he’s always like this
But today is your first day to school, right?

I’m going that way as well, so let’s go together

The school
Is straight up that way

I’m going this way now . . . see you then

Pg. 8
Adachi – Do- . . . Doujima-san

What is this . . . ? How the heck can she . . .
Doujima – Calm down, Adachi. How much longer are you planning to act like a newbie like that

But this is . . .

Pg. 9
Died from getting tangled on the antenna . . .?
Such a weird murder case this is . . . ?

Chie – Why are you so dead ever since the morning like this?

Pg. 10
Yousuke – Nothing . . .
Can you
Leave me alone a bit . . .

How am I supposed to say my bike slip because of the rain and I got hit between my legs . . .

Pg. 11
Morokin – Go to your seat!
I’m going to introduce the transfer student, even if I don’t want to

The poor guy who go thrown away from the irritating capital to this remote town, so to say, a fugitive
Souji – Who are you calling the fugitive?

Morokin – Get it? You might mistaken him for a girl, but don’t throw eyes at him
Chie – From the capital . . . come to think of it, you’re too, right, Hanamura?

Pg. 12
Souji – I’m Seta Souji. Nice to meet you

Morokin – What the heck is with that blunt attitude . . . ?
What is with that look? Have some complaints or what?

Chie – Mister

Since this seat empty, is it OK for the transfer student to sit here?
Morokin – Hah?

Oh right, then your seat is over there then. Go sit already

Students – Wow . . . got transferred right into the “moron class” . . .
We might even get suspended for real if we have an eye for him, maybe . . . ?

Pg. 12
Chie – He’s horrible, isn’t he? Ah, I’m Satonaka Chie. Nice to meet you!
Well, it’s quite a tough luck for you, being put into this class. Good luck for a year then

Announcement – To all staffs and students
There is an incident happening near the school area. The police is currently mobilize the road to school
We will also call an urgent meeting, so all staffs please returns to the teacher’s room ASAP

Chie – Incident!?
Announcement – And all student please wait inside the classroom and do not leave the school ground until further notice.

Pg. 13
Morokin - . . . Do as they say
Alright? Don’t go out of the classroom until further notice

Chie – Hah . . . and how much longer then?
Yukiko – I don’t know too
Chie – Ah, by the way, Yukiko, had you tried what I told you before yet?

That “thing during the midnight of the rainy day . . . “?

Yukiko – Ah, sorry, didn’t try it yet
Chie – Haha, it’s OK. That boy in the other class just yelled out “my soul mate is Announcer Yamano!”

Yousuke – Ah
Umm, Satonaka- . . . –san
Chie – What is it? And why with the “-san” as well?

Pg. 14
Yousuke - The DVD I borrowed from before was just totally amazing. Seeing attacks being thrown at each other was just seriously great, and . . .
I’m terribly sorry! It was just an accident! Just wait till I get my money from the part-time!
Bye then!

Chie – Ah, hey! They just say do not leave the classroom, so don’t you run away! Also

What did you do to my DVD?

Pg. 15
Uwa!
No way! It got scratches!

My “Trial of Dragon”~~!

Souji - . . . You have quite an enjoyable friend
Yukiko – True

Pg. 16
Doujima – I’m back

Have anything left for me?
Nanako – Nope, you come home late
Doujima – Sorry, I was pretty busy
Nanako – I know . . . but
Doujima – Can you turn to the news channel?

Nanako – OK, just a moment . . .

TV - Yamano Mayumi, an announcer at the foggy town of Inaba, was found dead on the rooftop of the civilian’s house
It’s understood that while alive, Yamano-san had a love relationship with Namatame Tarou, the secretary of the senator, and the husband of the singer, Hiiragi Misuzu-san.
The police are now trying to solve the mystery through questioning her relatives

We will now interview a local student who first found the corpse of the appearance
Doujima – An interview? Just where did they get that from . . . ?

TV – What do you think when you first saw it? Did you know that she is dead? Did you see her face?
??? – Umm . . .
TV – Don’t you think it’s kind of scary: the murder during the foggy night?
??? – Eh . . . ? Was that a murder?
TV – Umm . . . did you see any suspicious person around this area lately?
??? – Not specially . . . anything . . .

Pg. 17
TV – A tragic incident that happens near to the local shopping district
Many people in that area had become worried that there will be less costumers coming to the area . . .
Doujima – Wasn’t that because you cause all the fuzz that scare them away . . . ?
TV – Hanging the corpse upside-down on the antenna of the civilian’s house: we don’t know where did that idea come from, but we can possibly call it an uniqueness of this criminal

Even though it isn’t announced as a crime yet
But the cause of death is unknown and they can’t find even a single suspect, correct?
Nanako – The news is boring . . .
Can I change the channel?
Dad . . .
TV – What are the police possibly doing with our tax when they can’t even solve whether this is a murder or an accident . . . ?

Nanako – He fell asleep . . .
TV – We’ll be back after the CM

Pg. 18
Yousuke – My name is Hanamura Yousuke
I had to leave the city due to my parent’s work

Wa- . . . wa-wa-wait
O- . . . oh?
Break . . . BREAK!

UWAAA!!
Right now, I already got used to living in this kind of rural place . . .

. . . but

. . . what the heck am I doing?
Something like an after-effect from yesterday . . . ?

Pg. 19
Souji – Are you OK?
Yousuke – Oh, sorry

Hey, it’s the transferred student
Thanks! Umm . . . it’s . . . Seta, right?
Yep, Seta Souji

I’m Hanamura Yousuke, nice to meet you

Howdy, got used to this town already?

Pg. 20
Souji – Fairly OK now, I think . . .
Yousuke – You want to drop by and eat somewhere before going home?
How ‘bout the famous “beef steak”? Might sound kind of old-fashioned, but . . .
I’ll treat you though, just as a thank for helping me this morning

Chie – And you are not going to invite me or anything?
My “Trial of Dragon”
Yousuke – Ugh . . . do you always have to come when the talk is about food?

Chie – Ah, what about you, Yukiko? I can treat you
Yukiko – It’s OK. I’m on a diet right now, and have to go help out at home

Yousuke – You’re learning to take over the business already?
Yukiko – Not really, I’m just helping out in the busy time. So, later

Pg. 21
Chie – Never mind then, let’s get going
Yousuke – Eh, do I seriously have to treat both of you?

Chie – This is where you’re going to treat us . . . ?

There’s no beef steak here
Yousuke - We can’t go to that steak house if I have to treat you too
Chie – But that doesn’t mean you have to drag us to your place

Yousuke – I said, it’s not really my place or anything

Oh . . . umm, sorry for leaving you out. I also came from the capital, like you do
My dad got assigned as the head of this mall when it’s newly opened, so our whole family moved here about half a year ago . . .
So, as a welcome for you, I’ll treat Satonaka as well
Souji – OK, I get it

Pg. 22
Chie – But after this place opened, I hardly go to the local shopping district anymore
A lot of shops over there start closing as well . . .
Ah . . .

別にここのせいだけってことないだろ　気にすんな…
Yousuke - But it’s not like that is all because of this place opening up though

Chie – OK, sorry
Yousuke – Ah

It’s senpai
Sorry, I’m going out a bit

お疲れッス　バイトはもうあがり？
Hi, are you done with the work already?

Pg. 23
Saki – Hi, I’m just having a short break
You are bringing your friends here to boost the sale?
Yousuke – Uwa, I’m seriously offended
Konishi Saki-senpai

Her house is the liquor shop in the shopping district, but the shop has some hardship with the management, so she works for part time here
I’m just treating them, with my pocket money

I do kind of feel bad about it, but senpai often treats me like her own younger brother

She really is a good person
Saki – That boy . . . is that transferred student?
Yousuke – Yep, he got transferred from the city as well, so I kind of feel for him
Saki – Oh, you’re just trying to meddle with him

Pg. 24
うーす　都会っ子同士はやっぱ気が合う？
Hi, being both city kids really help you two to get along together, right?
He just got thrown into this town a while ago, so he doesn’t have that much friends yet. Befriend with him, OK?

Hana-chan is a pretty frivolous person, but if he annoys you, you can just say it straight to his face, OK?

Souji – No . . .
He is a really nice person

Saki – Ahahaha, I know, I know. I was just joking
Yousuke – Uwa, both of you! What are you . . .

Saki – OK, I have to go back to work now. Later

Pg. 25
Chie – A daughter of an old liquor shop and a son of the head of the department store . . . the passionate forbidden love! Right?
Yousuke – You . . . ! Stupid, it’s not like that!

Chie – Oh right . . . since you’re worried, I’ll tell you “something good” then

Do you know about “the Midnight Channel”?

Pg. 26
If you watch the turn-off television alone during midnight in the rainy day . . .
While looking at your reflection on the screen, another person will pop up instead . . .

They say that person is your soul mate

Yousuke – What is that?
Just when I thought you’ll say something good . . . you can still believe in those kind of childish rumors?

Pg. 27
Chie – Chi- . . . Childish, you say?! You didn’t believe me!?
Yousuke – No way am I going to believe in that!

Chie - . . . Hm

The cloud seems to get a bit strange now as well . . .
Ah, maybe it’s going to rain sometimes tonight again . . .

So, go ahead and check it out tonight then! Everyone, try it, OK?!!
Yousuke – You never try it before too?! Had been a quite a while for me after I heard something this stupid!
Chie – You’re OK as well, right, transferred student!?
Souji – It’s Seta
Chie – Alright, decided then. You try checking it out FOR SURE, OK!
Seta-kun as well!

Pg. 27
Souji – Hm . . .

Ah . . . I didn’t notice it since I was organizing my things

It’s raining . . .

Pg. 28
. . . Hm

Pg. 29
Yousuke – It- . . . It’s showing!?

Chie – It’s our uniform! But this is

Souji – A girl . . .

Ugh . . .

Pg. 30
U- . . . uwa!!

Pg. 31
~~~Ouch . . .

Yousuke – Eh . . . then you saw that as well?

Pg. 32
But why did we all see the same girl?
Chie – And what is with my soul mate being a girl?
The hair comes down to around the shoulder and even though it isn’t clear, that was our school uniform . . . she did look like Konishi-senpai as well

Yousuke – By the way, the first person who saw that corpse from that incident seems to be Konishi-senpai as well
Oh, and was that why she didn’t look so well, I wonder. She didn’t come to school today too . . .

Yukiko – Sorry, Chie. I have to go now . . .
Chie – Ah, OK

Yousuke - . . . Amagi didn’t seem so well too
Seems like she is busy lately

But . . .
What is with your “got suck into the TV”?
You didn’t get too moved that you sleep talk or anything like that, didn’t you?

Pg. 34
Chie - But that was pretty interesting, whether it’s just a dream or not
Something like “can’t get into the TV because it’s too small” might sound really silly in reality but

If it’s bigger . . .

Yousuke - And in the end, you have to come see at my place
But you still can believe in something stupid like that?
Chie – You also said that yesterday and look at what you get after trying it out
But, it’s HUGE! SO EXPENSIVE! Who would buy something like this!?
Yousuke – Rich people, maybe?

Pg. 35
Chie + Yousuke - Muu!

Yousuke – That was really silly, totally not something I would want to do in public
Chie – You’re right
Yousuke – By the way, how about buying some new TV here, have something you want especially?
Chie – It’s too expensive! No way am I buying
Yousuke – Don’t say like that
How about this one over here, miss? The newest model, just released this spring

Pg. 36
おいバッサリだな…てかまずはおまえの安いがどんくらいか聞かんとな
花村のコネで安くしてよ　したらここで買うからさ
But seriously . . . guess I got to ask first about what’s your “cheap” maybe
Chie – Make it cheaper because we’re friend, then I’ll probably buy it

Yousuke – I can’t do that . . .

And Seta, your TV at home . . .
. . . Hey

His hand . . . just went into the TV?
Chie – Wow, as expected for the newest model. What kind of function is that?

Yousuke – It’s not!!

Pg. 37
Seriously . . . it just goes right in . . . what kind of illusion is this?
But it’s not a time to say that now . . . the costumer . . . they’re coming!

Chie – Was that some kind of trick?! Just how does that works!?
But that was just amazing!!

Yousuke – What the heck are you doing, idiot! Stop that!!
Chie – Don’t . . . don’t rush in like that

He-! Wai-!!

Yousuke + Chie – UWAAA

Pg. 38-39
Ugh! . . .

ケツを…モロにっ！
Yousuke – My butt . . . got hit so hard!
Chie – Wh- . . . what the heck was that

Umm, I remember the TV . . . oh yeah, we came into the TV!?
. . . also . . .

What is . . . this place?

HERE IT COMES~! XD

Thanks to Mizutama for the RAW. Have been waiting for quite a while. :3

Plus, I already talked with Red Hawk with it (to be precise, I talked with BakaScarlet this morning . . . >.>") and Red Hawk will pick it up . . . I believe. >_<" So, it's reserved now. >_<"

Enjoy . . . :3

It might just be a short while, but please take care of me

Pg. 2

Oh, you look better than in the photographs

I’m Doujima Ryoutarou, the one who’s going to take care of you

Welcome to Inaba District

Souji – Nice to meet you
I’m Seta Souji
== Taking that no one (or nearly no one) call Minato “Arisato” . . . I will go with what the English game will use, which will probably be his first name. You can switch the order if you want, but here, I go with the Japanese order because I’m more used to it like this . . . >.>”

Pg. 5
Ryoutarou – Haha. Nice to meet you . . . huh. Well, I actually used to change diapers for you though

But both your dad and sis is as workaholic as usual
It must be hard for you to being driven to the countryside like this for one whole year

Souji – Not really. I’m already used to it
Yes, I’m already used to it

Ryoutarou – Well, our house only got Nanako and me, so it’s a good thing for us as well that you come
You can think of us as one family, so feel free to do what you want
Souji – What I always keep in mind in all my transfers is

To live while keeping a good enough distance from them
Please take care of me

Oh, want to go to the toilet?
Ouch

Pg. 9
Gas station person – Welcome

Ryoutarou – You can go on your own, right?
Nanako – Yep

Gas station person – The restroom?
Go inside and it’s on the left. You know the left?
Better not to use chopsticks with that hand
== It’s Japanese and Chinese table manner. You should not use chopstick with your left hand . . . >_<”

Nanako – I know that already

Gas station person – Are you going out somewhere?
Ryoutarou – No, we went to pick this guy up
He just came from the city and will be living here from today on

Gas station person – Heh, from the city . . . ?
Can you fill up the tank with regular then?
Gas station person – Yes, thank you very much

You’re high school student?

I was surprised to hear that you’re from the city
I actually think it’s kind of boring here~
So if you’re still in high school, better find some friends and do some part time job then

Pg. 11
Souji – No, the countryside is actually good as well
Friends, huh?
Anyhow, the air is a lot cleaner, unlike in the city

Gas station person - But it stinks with gasoline smell here though

Guess it’d be weird if I say “welcome to this town”, wouldn’t it?

Souji – Not at all . . .

Gas station person - We’re open for part time here as well. Students are always welcomed.
Souji – I’ll think about it

Pg. 18
Nanako – Are you OK?
