<49> Kajika: This looks like a place where spirits would settle... I like it here.
Eugene: It really isn't that great. My father built it when he had a mistress in New York. It's been empty ever since they broke up.
Kajika: Do you come here often? Eugene: Sometimes.
Eugene: I feel at ease in this dusty darkness. It's as if I become one with the shadows.
Kajika: Leopards are nocturnal animals, afterall.
Eugene: My... You're still hung up on that absurd concept?
<50> Kajika: I believe it. I always have.
Eugene: So it's because of that idea, That you came here with me at this late hour?
Kajika: You, on the other hand, brought me out here because you couldn't stand giving in to Li Ren, right?
Eugene: Oh... I wonder.
Eugene: In any case, I can imagine how furious Mr. Burnsworth must be.
Eugene: Let down by incompetent guardians, While his beloved daughter makes off with someone as notorious as myself.
<51> Kajika: Notorious, you say... Are you talking about the murders Li Ren mentioned? Eugene: "Murders"? Everyone just dies at their own convenience.
Eugene: Why do humans crave so much to be in sole possession of another...? Everyone chants in unison...
Eugene: "I love you, so let's be together." "I love you, so don't look at anyone but me." "I love you, so I want you to love me." Breaking up causes miseries greater than death...
Eugene: It's like some sort of incantation. For me...
Eugene: I find it sickening. They hold on to the word "love" as if it pardons all sins. And so... I occasionally tell them...
<52> Eugene: "Then..." "Maybe it's better to die."
Eugene: And, from time to time... Some actually choose to do so.
Eugene: I'd always watch them with an air of disbelief. If someone asked me what I proposed to do, I'd be stumped. My mind would merely go blank... As I bore witness to their deaths.
Kajika: You didn't actually tell them to die, did you? I'm sure you phrased it in a way like you did with that woman...
Kajika:Telling them to choose between you --- But, in the end... All of them still chose to take their own lives, right...?
<53> Kajika: You... It's as if you've been waiting all this time.....!! Waiting for a person who'll kill you to appear.
Kajika: Why!? Despite the fact that life is such an amazing thing...! Despite the fact that we were granted life against the most unfathomable odds. Why don't you treasure it!?
Eugene: "Amazing", you say..?
Eugene: You express it with such a simple word...!
<54> Eugene: Where do you find such confidence? Because you're Burnsworth's only child? Certainly, there's nothing that the Burnsworths can't do.
Eugene: Money can buy everything, afterall. All things imaginable in this world, physical or emotional, can be purchased.
Eugene: Love, Prestige, Even a reason for people to exist. If you want me to be Mustafa, you could buy me over, All you'd have to do is ask your father.
Kajika: I don't understand... Eugene...
<55> Kajika: I like you, Eugene, that's all... Why do I have to buy you?
Kajika: Really... Do you think I'd ever do something like that......?
Kajika: Eugene...
Kajika: I was raised on an island --- Giveaulie island belongs to Father, but...
<56> Whenever the waves went wild from a storm, Giveaulie would become isolated from the world. Planes couldn't take off, and boats wouldn't be able to approach. Day in, day out...
Kajika: During those times, I remember Maria telling me that the island was in God's hands.
Without electricity, even the phone lines wouldn't connect. All around us, there'd be nothing but pitch-darkness, and the howling of the raging winds.
Kajika: Under such cirumstances, Having money... Means nothing at all.
<57> No matter who you are, the winds will continue to blow. At the mercy of the heavens, the earth, and the sea... We can only gaze into our fates -----------
<58> Kajika: At times like those, Mustafa and I would often watch from my room, waiting for the storm to pass. I'd continue to ponder "what-if"s. Eugene: What-ifs?
Kajika: What if the winds never stopped raging, What if the waves never ceased to crash upon us... What if we ran out of food...
Kajika: I'd think about a lot of things, Partly as a game, partly in earnest.
Kajika: I wondered... if I'd be willing to die for Mustafa.
Kajika: Li Ren, Father, and even Maria. I'd never be able to see them again. It'd be painful. But... I loved him too dearly.
<59> Kajika: Because I loved him so much I could cry, I wouldn't hesitate to give my life for him.
What a strange voice...
Like a young boy's, or a young girl's ---------- Truthful and forthright, yet unbelievably warm... Kajika: As long as Mustafa could live, I'd do anything ------- I always came to that conclusion in the end.
I couldn't help but be mesmorized. By that voice that could sway any heart...
Eugene!!
<60> Man: So you were here, afterall! Messing with a child this time, no less...! You've gone too far!!
Eugene: These are... my older brothers.
Brothers!
Eugene: Have you come to preach again? Text: Unbelievable... they aren't alike at all! Eugene's brother: No matter what I say, you'll never go back anyway.
Eugene's brother: Not having you under watch was a big mistake. You've stirred up a disaster again, haven't you!
Eugene: About what happened with Liz, you mean?
<61> Eugene's brother: She was the daughter of the previous national ambassador, you know! The man's furious! Eugene: She's the one who chose to get close to me, I've told you many times - I never said anything to lead her on.
Eugene's brother: Forget it. Whatever I say to you is futile. Hurry back to your apartment and make preparations at once. We're leaving for Paris at dawn!
Eugene: You didn't have to come specifically for that, I was planning to set off anyway. The day after tomorrow is my birthday, afterall. Father would want me back home.
Eugene's brother: Oho... So even a guy like you doesn't forget his own birthday.
<61 - side panel> Title: One day in the life of Itsuki Natsumi...
I worry about many things sometimes. Pointing arrow: Itsuki Thing such as whether my readers are reading my mangas properly, for instance...
For example, with fan letters... - Letter on top: I'm a big fan of Shimo-kun (霜くん) from passion parade, LoveLove Top arrow: It should be "Nagame" (霖) [TN: passion parade is another manga written by Itsuki Natsumi. Itsuki is pointing out a miswritten character from the letter. The character for "nagame" (霖), meaning "a long spell of rain", is similar to that for "shimo" (霜), meaning "frost".] - Letter at the bottom: Out of sensei's works, my no.1 favourite is "Entachi wa Warau" (奄たちは笑う). It made me cry! Bottom arrow: It's "Hotaru" (蛍)! [TN: Hotarutachi wa Warau (lit. The Fireflies are Laughing) is the title of the first volume of tokiiro triangle, another manga by Itsuki Natsumi. Here, the fan has written "奄" (cover) instead of "蛍" (firefly).]
Itsuki Natsumi: Well then, let's have a "Hanasaskeru..." quiz right now. What's the heroine, Kajika's full name ---?
SFX in bubble: *stareee* Arrows at the bottom: Assistants Bold text on top: You guys... Non-bold text on top: You've got to be kidding me...
<62> Eugene: Yes, especially not this year. It's worth remembering one's 20th birthday, afterall.
Eugene's brother: You're considered an adult now. Let's hope you start acting more like one.
Eugene: I might as well go through with plastic surgery, it'd give me some peace for once. As long as Father consents.
Eugene's brother: What nonsense! As if he'd let you!
Eugene's brother: That face...
Eugene's brother: Is one of Father's most finely crafted masterpieces...!!
<62> Kajika: Finely crafted ----!?
Kajika: What do you mean by that? Eugene's Brother: Xavier!!
Eugene's brother: I'll personally escort you, so please return home quickly. Children shouldn't be out this late.
Kajika: I'm not a child. Daddy says 14 is the age when you start taking responsibility for your own actions. That aside, old man, today was --- Eugene's brother: Old man!?
Eugene's brother: Eugene! Who is she!? If you picked her up from somewhere, break up with her already!! Eugene: She's well backed up. Are you sure you want to be speaking that way?
Eugene's brother: What are you saying?
Eugene: If I revealed her true identity, your blood pressure would --- Eugene's brother: Stop screwing around!
<64> Eugene: This girl is... Kajika Burnsworth, Brother ---
Eugene's brothers: Wha... What...?
Eugene's brother: Eugene... Don't tell me you... That...
Eugene: That's right.
Eugene's brother: Ahh! Brother! Assistant: President! Pull yourself together! SFX: Thud! Small text: I told you...
Eugene's brother: Eugene!
<65> Eugene's brother: You... you bastard! Of all people, I didn't think you'd seduce the daughter of the Burnsworth family! Do you intend to destroy the Volcan Group!? Assistant: Mr. President!
Eugene's brother: I'll beat you to a pulp! Seeing that face of yours sickens me!!
Eugene's brother: Behind that empty perfection, you're nothing but useless sludge! Remember this well! Eugene!
Eugene's brother: Father's getting old. Once he passes away... You'll no longer be under his protection. When that happens, you'll realize that your position as the successor might as well be built on sand!
Eugene: Is that so...? Eugene's brother: What!
Eugene: I'll live longer than Father, you say? What makes you so sure about that ---!?
<66> SFX: Bara bara bara Eugene's brother: What's that!? A chopper!?
Assistant: Mr. President, we're in trouble! Police troops have surrounded the mansion!!
Eugene's brother: What did you say -----!?
Kajika: Don't worry, I'll go settle this. Li Ren must've called the cops. Eugene's brother: Li Ren...? From the Fang Family!?
Li Ren: Settle this, you say? I'm afraid that's impossible. Kajika: Ah!
<67> Li Ren: You're from the Volcan Family, am I right? Unfortunately, we've decided to press charges against your younger brother. Kajika: Li Ren! Eugene's brother: Press charges!?
Li Ren: Abducting an underaged, 14 year old girl in the middle of the night. That's against the law. Eugene's brother: Can we work this out somehow? Despite everything, he's still a member of the Volcan family...! Li Ren: Is that how you covered up the previous incidents?
Eugene's brother: We're terribly sorry. Our brother lacks basic integrity. He's ignorant to the workings of society. I'll keep a close eye on him from now on, I'll take responsibility...
Li Ren: Why should I believe you?
Li Ren: If Kajika hadn't been there to stop things yesterday, Liz would've died then and there. And with Kajika in the state she's in now... How can you Volcans ever hope to compensate? Kajika: Li Ren!!
<68> Eugene's brother: Please... hear me out! Fang Li Ren. As the eldest son of the Volcan Family, I'll try my best...
Li Ren: Why don't you just lock him up from society altogether? All that's already happened couldn't have been pure coincidence.
Eugene's brother: I understand. If I... If I was the head of the Volcan Group, I'd have gotten rid of this shinigami --- [TN: shinigami = death god]
Kajika: STOP!!
<69> Kajika: You've gone too far!! Eugene hasn't done anything! I accompanied him here of my own free will!
Eugene: Mmph
Eugene: Ahahahaha!! Kajika: Eugene!!
Eugene: Pardon me. This is just... too amusing. We have both plaintiff and defendant... It feels as if I'm already in the courtroom!
Eugene: Meanwhile, my brothers want nothing more than for my death sentence.
Eugene: It's not like I care. Even though I never actually got my hands dirty, I guess it still counts as my doing.
<70> Eugene: Liz and the four women in Europe, they all had a latent potential for suicide. One way or another, I seem to intrigue these types.
Eugene: So... with their inner desires unleashed, they set out to accompish what they've yearned for.
Eugene: I guess, on some levels... I really am a shinigami.
Eugene: Well then... We should be going, Brother. Eugene's brother: Ah... yes...
Eugene: If you're going to press charges, please do so quickly. I'll be leaving for Paris in 4 hours.
<71> Kajika: Eugene! Eugene: Farewell, Kajika. It was fun.
Eugene: I also wished to see Giveaulie in a storm. However...
Eugene: I'm not your Mustafa.
Eugene: One mustn't be deceived by appearances. Beneath a puppet's magnificent silver hide... is nothing but sawdust, afterall. It's the same with me, too...
Kajika: Eugene...!!https://mangahelpers.com/t/kansaki/releases/15022[English] [Translation] Hanasakeru Seishounen 2.2 by Kansaki2009-08-10T11:09:19+00:00Kansakiadmin@mangahelpers.comFor use by Marimo-Box Scanlations only. :)
<21> Have a seat. Wherever you want. -- Is this really where you live? -- Yeah. Why? -- It's so bare, as if it came straight out of a catalogue... Hard to believe someone lives here...
<22> Perhaps it's because I don't want to live. -- "I don't want to live"... That's the same as saying "I don't want to survive", isn't it? -- Bingo. -- You say I have two souls within my being. Right? - Yeah! -- Even if I wanted to live, I'd eventually have to face the fate of being ripped apart by two souls. - That too, may be interesting, you know? -- Only a cacodemon would do such a thing. [TN: cacodemon = evil spirit.] Mustafa would never allow that. You'll simply coexist together.
<23> Hahaha -- If it's reincarnation, I know something about it. - But it's my first time hearing about this local belief in souls. -- It's a belief from Giveaulie, Maria often spoke of it. - Maria? - A very dear person in my life. She's Caribbean, and like a mother to me. -- I know Mr. Burnsworth had sent his precious daughter to an island in the Carribean. She stayed there for twelve years, and was practically a local there. -- You know everything! Mustafa, do you remember now? - Everyone in the business world knows about that. - small text: I don't get it. -- The Volcan corporation is actually a subsidiary of the Burnsworth enterprise. If the Burnsworths don't cooperate with us... - The value of our stocks would drop drastically, and neighbouring industries would also be affected.
<24> I don't care what Father thinks... It's not right to force innocent workers into unemployment. - That's why... You are here. -- That's... A lie! -- An industrialist who acts on his biases will bring about his own demise. Even a child like myself knows at least that much. - There's no way you wouldn't know that, Mustafa. -- This girl...! -- In other words... even if I angered you, it wouldn't affect the Volcans. - But of course. -- Well then... my name is Eugene. It's not Mustafa.
<25> You don't like... Being called Mustafa? -- At the very least, it's not too amusing, you know? -- Then... I'll stop......
<25 - side strip> [title] A day in the life of Itsuki Natsumi's assistant. -- That's the chief's storyboard. [small text] In a place like this... - [side text] Attention) "Storyboard" The rough sketch drawn before a first draft is produced. -- A game!? I'm more serious than anyone! -- Just the Dragon's Head. [TN: Dragon's head: I think she's talking about Li Ren, since he refers to himself as the "Dragon's Head" of the Fang Group] -- [pointing arrow] Itsuki Grr...
<26> Ah...... He smiled. -- It's different from the cold smirk he had before... -- It was only for an instant, but... You actually smiled, right? "Mustafa".
<27> I mustn't rush it. Even with Mustafa, it took quite a few months to befriend him. -- Slowly, time will prove... That I'm not an enemy. -- When gaining the trust of a wild animal... Patience is the key to success. -- What? - Nothing! -- Eugene...! -- Is someone else living in here? - No!? - But there seems to be somebody behind the...
<28> Eugene! Die with me! -- No! -- Get out of the way! It's none of your business, right? -- Let go... Kajika. -- Eugene... - She's right. This has nothing to do with you.
<29> Liz, this isn't how a lady should act in another's home. - I'm serious! Don't expect me to let it go just because I've been made a fool out of! -- I didn't mean it like that. -- You're one to talk! I know all about where you went with Sally Carter yesterday!! -- I've checked up on everything!! Eugene! Why... - Even though we were so deeply in love! -- I don't recall ever saying I loved you. I'd never say that. -- I've never... Loved a single person.
<30> You're lying!! You love me, don't you? -- That's your misconception. -- This is bad... If this goes on any longer... -- Can't you see that you're nothing in his eyes? -- Eugene, please... - Just say it once, and I'll give up forever. Even if it's a lie... Please... Say you love me...!! -- Eu... -- That's an impossible request. ---This...
<31> I'll kill you...! Die with me!! - Go ahead and shoot. -- But I'll pass on going together. -- Mercilessly... He completely shattered her. -- When I die, I'll die alone. I've no interest in going along with such sentimentalities. - Such insolence... -- So this is it... The beauty of the devil.
<32> But it's painful... Why is it so sad? - This atmosphere... This feeling is... -- That's right... It's the same as when I first met Li Ren--- - Make your decision... Do I die here, or do you? -- Liz. -- Come on... -- Liz...
<33> Li Ren!! - Take her away!! -- Where to? - It's just to calm her down. Cao will take care of it. -- You are... -- Ah... my apologies. The situation got out of hand, so I barged in unannounced. - I am...
<34> I know that much. You're Kajika's watchdog, as well as the leader of the Fang Group, Fang Li Ren. - The Fang Group sure have a lot of time on their hands. With the C.E.O. personally jumping to her rescue every time. -- Looks like the rumors may be true... About the main Fang family in Singapore being the eastern branch of Burnsworth. -- If you ask me... -- It's even more puzzling to find you living the fast life here... Considering you're the man rumoured to succeed the Volcan corporation. Perhaps this situation is a result of that life? -- I don't know what you're talking about.
<35> Hurting a woman to this extent, this is not an ordinary kind of foolishness. -- It's my freedom to do what I want. Are you in any position to lecture me when you're trespassing here? -- Let's excuse ourselves, Kajika. - Ah... Okay. -- Eugene, I'll be back.
<36> Hmph! - How unusual, You rarely speak so sarcastically. -- Even Li Ren-sama gets jealous sometimes.
sfx: Snickers -- Sorry. - I wasn't aware that a "pro" like you would be so slow. -- Ah... -- I feel like I've seen Li Ren-sama's true colours. - Toranosuke, you didn't know? -- Truth is... Deep down... Li Ren-sama's a snide, barbarous man.
<37> Why are you so angry? It's my fault for sneaking out. - Don't see that man again!! -- Why!? Eugene was selected by Daddy, wasn't he? - [small text] That's a perfectly valid reason--- -- Harry would never pick that murderer!! -- Murderer!? - Even if it isn't by his own hand... He kills indirectly - you saw him just now! -- Three have commited suicide, and one was going to! They all died before his cruelty! - This is why he could never go to college in Europe!
<38> If he was any ordinary deliquent... - There wouldn't be this many deaths! Somehow, he's forcing them into suicide out of pure amusement... - Like a carnivorous plant pomping beautiful flowers as it awaits unsuspecting prey! -- That's not it. Li Ren. -- How am I wrong! He's a pervert and a cold-blooded killer! -- Eugene simply surrenders himself to the world's whims! He does not wish for anyone to die. - But, at the same time, he does not wish to live. If he doesn't even care about life or death, how could he ever grasp the concept love? -- I realized that, because... It was the same when I first met you.
<39> Why would such a dashing young man... Want to give up everything? -- At this rate, Mustafa's spirit won't be able to resurface. Eugene has to gain the will to live. -- Kajika, That's plain superstition... -- It doesn't matter. I felt Mustafa's essence in him. -- You've angered me now... Chinese fool.
<40> Toranosuke! Don't let Kajika out for now! - What... -- You're not allowed out until I'm done investigating Eugene. - You've gotta be kidding! This is so unreasonable! -- Li Ren! This is so unfair! - This is my own house! - Not quite, it's Harry's house. While Harry's out on business, I've been entrusted with complete control. -- Cao, Investigate further into Volcan! Who knows what shameful crimes that carnivore might be hiding. - Yes sir- - Even if he is indeed a chosen one, I'll do everything in my power to oppose him!! -- There are some documents you must look over...
<41> Li Ren-sama... I thought he never got agitated... - He's met his archenemy. -- Unbelievable!! -- I've never seen Li Ren this selfish before! - Compared to this, I'd have more freedom back on Giveaulie! - Even so... -- It's hard to imagine Li Ren acting so impulsively... - Hm... Hasn't this happened before!? -- Oh!
<42> Excuse me. I'm here to make the bed. - Ah. Thank you. -- Make it quick! -- What dedication... -- Huh!? -- There will be a blackout as the clock strikes twelve tonight. You have two minutes before the emergency lighting system activates. I shall await you at the east exit. "Mustafa" -- Hm... - This'll be fun.
<43> Li Ren-sama, the tea's ready. - Good. How's Kajika doing? - She may well be asleep. -- She wouldn't give in that easily... -- It's Kajika! Open the door! -- Li Ren-sama, we've been duped. Kajika's gone!
<44> Joey!! Don't let Kajika off the premises!! -- Huh!? Yes sir... - What's happening? -- Outta the way, Outta the way! -- You mustn't! Young lady! -- Cain, Abel! Help me out!!
<45> He...Hey! Shoo! -- Get on!! -- Eugene!! -- Kajika!
<46> Li Ren! I'm sorry! I'll be back soon. -- Kaji... -- Eugene!!
<47> That... Carnivore----!! -- Li Ren-sama All our tyres have been flattened! - Call the police department! - Huh!? -- Form a search perimeter around New York! - Dispatch all available search parties!! - Find her within the hour! -- Just you wait, Eugene! - I'll show you what happens... When you truly anger me---!!
<48> This is bad... - Kajika-sama, when will you learn to heed Li Ren-sama's words? -- All hell breaks loose when you anger a placid man...
