Well that just semi-contradicted enough of what I previously thought to destroy any theory I had. Fabulous.

Eh, you know, the distinction between chapters is IMHO fairly arbitrary, so I don’t think it really matters whether the chapter is done or not, since this is the last time Jyuusan-hime appears in the chapter?

Juusanhime is so amazing. <3 Definitely have to make a discussion entry for this, but I'll wait until chapter three is done so I don't jump to any crazy conclusions. Thank you so much for the translation.

Shuurei’s so pitiful..
The plot now is a lot confusing to those three, Shuurei-Ryuuki-Jyuusan hime..
T__T

Thank you for the translations as always!

She fell in love with Ryuuki? T___T At this point, maybe Shuurei will die and he’ll just marry Jyuusan-hime instead.

Well, part of it may be my translation, but yeah, she DOES hop all over the place. But it was late at night, and anyway, she’s under a lot of stress, heh.

I DO like their brother-sister relationship, actually! It’s because she’s so close to Shuuei that she can talk so harshly to him. XD

You are awesomesauce on ice cream. Thank you for the updates. You work so hard for everyone!

I adore Jyuusan-hime’s oddball references and crude remarks, especially when she questions Shuuei’s manhood. XD There’s a bit of Ryuuren-ness in her too, in that she lives by her own rules. I’m more confused now than before, but it’s okay… It’s because of Jyuusan’s disjointed-ness and not your translation. It seems like we’re getting train of thought from her… no filter, no planning, just thought = speak. I like it.

The closeness between brother and sister is adorable. *sigh*

Again, thank you. It’s a wonderful end to this day to read this.

I know, I had hoped more would be resolved on the conspiracy. I don’t see what’s so bad about giving us more. XD

Indeed…. I don’t know, it’s like, at this point I STILL (speaking of things that are left unresolved) have no idea how she’s going to resolve this. Jyuusan-hime came there to marry Ryuuki, and she had already accepted it, so at this point it really looks like the best case scenario is that Ryuuki somehow figures out a way to cancel the marriage w/ Shuurei and just marry Jyuusan-hime.

Yeah, it’s true that the book is as clear as mud at the end. I guess she’s trying to hold back all the conspiracies until the very end because she doesn’t want the reader to figure it out, but it’s really kind of annoying because I’m not a big fan of having all the revelations pile up at the end.

Why is it that all the women in this series know what’s going on whereas all the young men are completely clueless? XD But, if the author is going to end with Shuurei and Ryuuki, I’ll feel sorry for Jyuusan-hime because clearly, she is every ounce worth it as Shuurei.
