SPOILER:
Auguste tells Gilbert he’s his father. I’m not sure who Augi was talking on on the previous page, so I’m not sure who “won”; he may be referring to his duel with Bonnard, but I don’t have my Kazeki manga here to verify:
Panel 1: “…katsute wa yurusanai.” (“… won, and I can’t forgive you.”
Panel 2: “Watashi wa omae no…” (“I am your…”)
Panel 3: “…chichi oya da.” (“…your father.”)
Panel 4: “Kaerun da Maruseiyu e.” (“Come back with me to Marseilles.”)
This is too funny I have to translate, otherwise my partner would not know why I am laughing so hard.
Upbringing differences: winter memorial.
1. Serge: I’ts snow!!
Gilbert: You really have energy…I’m cold.
2. Serge: Didn’t you play snow games when you were little? You can have so much fun!
Gilbert: Snow games?
3. Gilbert: Look, Augu, I’m trying how much time I can endure the cold in the middle of the snow! (I think my conscience is waning…)
Auguste: Idiot! Go and put some clothes on! You will die!
4. Gilbert: Yeah I did…the freezing to death game.
Serge: …? I see…(I’m glad! Gilbert played like a normal kid too..)
As always, Serge never gets things right.
… phwahahahahahahahahaha! Oh, Gilbert… oh, Serge…
A list of scanlated and licensed Year 24 Group manga (and anime)
Thanks to the power of casually asking everyone I know that knows Japanese to do it, a friend of mine has done translation of the Kaze to Ki no Uta epilogue!
For those unfamiliar with it (i.e. probably most of you), this is a short story that was published in an artbook in 1991, seven years after the main series ended. Set three years after the series, Dove of Happiness mentions a little bit about what happened to several of the characters, but the action focuses on Rosemariné and Jules both in this time and in flashbacks. You’ll be able to understand it without finishing the series, but of course there are spoilers, particularly the one spoiler that everyone probably knows already.
I am, of course, intensely pleased by how this goes because Rosemariné and Jules’ relationship is pretty much my favorite thing about Kazeki and it definitely fills up some of the holes that the main series left open to focus on the leads.
Should you not have the raw handy, I have a download available here. As for scanlations, I’ll probably be putting one together at some point, but seeing as I scanlate at the speed of a sloth, don’t hold your breath for it.
Today’s random scene from Kaze to ki no uta.
peraperapera…
"--Did you see?
--I saw!
--What is it?
--There's just one possible conclusion: the superintendent likes Serge.
--Rosemarine? But he hasn't been friendly with anyone but Jules since he became superintendent!
--The White Prince? I can't believe it!
Leo : The brown kid's really doing good."
Gilbert : If you say you'd rather die, then prove it. Let's see how long
you can stand up to the humiliation.
-----
Proulx : Run away, or you'll be hit.
--Got him!
--All right!
Serge : Ow!
--Hey, watch out!
Proulx : He just touched him.
Liliath : This time, take off his clothes!
Serge : Don't get close to me! I won't stand for this any more. I don't
care who you are, if you touch me, I'll punch you!
Leo : Looks like you won't be satisfied until you get torn to pieces.
Eh, viscount?
Gilbert : {The spirit of the prey excites the hunter. Foolish Serge,
you'll only be hurt more.}
--Hey, he's strong!
--Get his poker!
Gilbert : {It started out as just a prank, but it doesn't look as if it'll
end that way. See for yourself what's left inside of you after
your self-respect gets crushed!}
