Hidan no Aria [Light Novel]

[Mars Mode]

But what can he try, the enemy is a sniper, the dogs are most likely wearing armor, Reki is losing strenght and vitality, because of a wond that he has no idea how was she even injured, because the enemy should have lost his ability to retaliate, his Histerya Mode under the influence of Reki is weak and it doesnt last, and he cannot kill a single Dog.

There are more factors but the worst is the fact that the enemy is a Sniper with the talent and ability of Reki, who in the moment he is atacked has no idea who is it, so he has no idea if she wants to kill him or make him surrender. The only one who can fight there is Reki and she is injured. I mean one must know when to retreat.

What Im most interested is that it seems that Kinji has a training for citys, and not in forests or the likes.

[Seitsuki]

I'm sure that his impulses wouldn't extend to trying to make babies with her while under fire. In which case he'd at least be marginally useful in the situation rather than a dead weight. He outright said himself that the only thing his standard high-school self is good for is running. From a master sniper. I can't even count how many facepalms I planted deep inside while reading.

I somehow just thought of him going into combat while doing a girl who's clinging on his front...

a wicked thought that must be purged....

also, a sniper situated in a vantage point or overlook leaves you NOWHERE to hide, but that no work if your target is INSIDE and he stays clear of open windows...

inb4 said sniper uses AP bullets that penetrates wall.

Ah well, First mention of ステルス by Koko. Furigana for chounouryokusha. Maybe it's supposed to be something in Chinese.


@Eagle: Well, if you're planning to finish with chapter 1, I'll just start with chapter two.

Can't think anything that sounds remotely like that in mandarin....





Ok although I won't be around on weekdays

And what? His Hysteria is low at that point, the enemy is a sniper over 2km away and well hidden but she's deafened and temporarily blind. Also her gun may have been possibly destroyed by Reki...

Best to do now is try to run. Staying put isn't much better. Attack is not feasible at best, suicide at worst.

[Icy.Tear]

Well, I'm not too worried, I suppose it's mostly the reader's that would be affected if you can't work too often.

[Cosmic Eagle]

Yeah, that was directed in part at the general readership

Well back to work...

as a reader i think the problem is if we miss something important by skipping the chapter or not, still as a reader i also think that since you all are doing a great thing by translating this you should take it easy and do as you prefer

[Cosmic Eagle]

So umm.....anybody know what's a hakkiri (ハッキリ)?

Just in case it isn't clear.....
The R does not stand for rimfire.
7.62x54mmR (used as a long rifle round and a medium machine gun round by the Russians) is a rimmed centerfire cartridge
7.62x51mm NATO (used by the M60 and various NATO battle rifles and medium machine guns) is a rimless centerfire cartridge

It means 'clearly'. It's one of those fun hiragana words.

Oh right...ok thanks.

question whit a quote from vol6 ch4 kinji said

Reki, you cannot die.
I have finally reached this point, I have finally understood you.
Just the slightest bit...I can understand you.
So--there is still something that I need to tell you.
Something I haven't told you yet.
So, you cannot die.
You cannot die, Reki!

what is this "something" he need to tell her? (yes i'm asking for spoiler^^)

[ZeKeR]

.... it figures... Reki has ALL of the attributes of the ideal archer. no wonder... and i think shit's about to hit the fan after this... hahaha...

[SilverSyko]

I figured the attacker was Cao Cao. Wonder what her motives are?

And Reki's the descendant of Yoshitsune and Genghis Khan? Did the bloodlines marry into each other at some point?

Or perhaps she was artificially created with the blood of these two people? I wouldn't be surprised considering her personality.

[Hiro Hayase]

So what's up with the trivial talk about references and such on Baka-Tsuki regarding HnA? Seems rather pointless to discuss...


Btw Cosmic Eagle are those spacings in volume 7 intentional or not? They do seem a bit excessive, but....its fine I guess. Just take your time translating, its not a problem.


@Seitsuki Your judging Kinji a bit too critically there. Even if Kinji did allow himself to go into HSS, it would very weak and wouldn't last long. Would Kinji be able to get aroused successfully in front of a dying Reki? I would think not. The situation was clearly out of Kinji hands because he is an amateur when dealing with Snipers as indicated during his fight with Reki. Furthermore, Reki's survival takes priority over defeating the unseen enemy.


P.S. Keep the references about guns and ammunition. A substantial number of readers are clueless about guns and etc.. without the references.

[longshot]

interesting revelation about Reki's lineage, figured Genghis khan was her grandfather but minamoto completely as well took me by surprise.

I second that question. I forgot what was it.

"sorry,but i can't belong to only one woman,so please,join my harem?"(perhaps)

riko was right,playing reki route is hard,but worthile-i'm really weak to that kind of chara,since rei from eva to nagato,tabitha etc...
a shame that anoying tsundere loli-louise,taiga and so on-lookalike will again put the other awesome (shirayuki,riko ,jeanne and of course reki) to the sideline...
i'm wonder why coco-another twintail loli(bishoujo)doesn't qualifie to join his harem,tough-she's still better than that hypocrite who dare condemn reki while she has already her own fiancée(of course she herself stole kinji to shirayuki to begin with)?
i hope we'll see them again in vol.10(they are after his gene,after all).
