Once again, these are taken from Japanese message boards/blogs. They are unreliable. Take them with a grain of salt. In other words, these may or may not be true.
This entry will be updated as I find more information.
As previously noted, the new story is called Thousand and one nights.
It’s sort of fantasy-genre, and a lot is explained about the Immortals.
Senka, Uu Uu, Shusui (as a kid) and Hokuto appear.
The blue immortal has the power to see into the future(?)
Senka knew who Shou Taishi really was.
As expected, the author did add stuff on to the installments that were already in the magazine.
Something about those two swords with magical power mentioned earlier in the novels. (the ones that Ryuuki and Seiran currently possess)
Whoops, misunderstood this. The third story starts on page 208.
There’s a three page omake.
Anyway, I should be getting the gaiden soon, but it’ll take awhile for me to read it.

great. thanks once again

Thousand and one nights? I haven’t heard of it yet. What’s the original Japanese title? Or is it “春眠暁を覚えず”?
And what does “a three page omake” mean, pls?

千一夜
It seems that that information was wrong/referring to something else? I’ll be able to confirm later.
Omake=Japanese for extra. Therefore, it means like at the end is tacked on a three page mini-story.

I see. Like the “Form of Happiness” at the end of gaiden 3.
BTW, I left you a comment in this post, could you pls check it out?

What happened to “春眠不觉晓”..?
April 29, 2009 at 4:01 am
I honestly have nooooo idea. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it discussed on the Japanese blogs?
April 29, 2009 at 5:05 am
I’m terribly sorry…I just tried to find that post where I saw that information, but it has been deleted..I actually remembet that there’s a link in that post to a Japanese page that seemed an authentic source…
Again, sorry for the wrong information…

Eh, no need to apologize. The hunting of rumors is inherently a risky sport. XD

wow!today is supposed to be the release date of the gaiden 4! just cant wait to know the whole story!
May 1, 2009 at 1:48 pm
I’m so excited!! Once again, great translation!! I’ll come and check for new updates on Gaiden 4.

Hey Charmian, are you on your way to finish reading the new gaiden?
May 6, 2009 at 6:35 am
No, actually. I got caught up following some other interesting things, like the Dreamwidth launch, so I haven’t really gotten beyond skimming it and reading up to page fifty or so…

Um do we know why exactly Shokha married Bara Hime and the reason for giving birth to Shurrei? And any idea about the other immortals?
