Spoiler:

Kyon should go back later and dig at the spot the rock was originally.

Pesky errands. The Future has some explaining to do.... >_> Tossing a tortoise into a river = ;_;

Kyon should demand pay for all the work he's being made to do.

Spoiler:

All in good time grasshopper... Now I'm curious about Tsuruya-san's identity..magical girl?....a childean mage?....gunslinger?...endless possibilities

If he wants payment, 30 minutes alone with either Mikuru-san(big) or Mikuru-san (small) and to be able to ravish her is what I deem suitable payment..

I had a thought, what if the other Universal Entity didn't create huminoid interfaces, but modified existing humans, basically human plus, to act as interfaces. If that were the case then either Tsuruya or Kyon's sister, or both, could be interfaces.

Read "Charmed At First Sight lover" as to why that is not going to happen.

Spoiler for not so much a spoiler.. but just in case, v7 chapter 3:

After all, the one who had passed down this sacred technique to me was none other than Haruhi herself and it was probably a technique from the long-lost Hiten-Haruhi-Ryu.

i was just thinking of the show from which that was inspired from too. made for a nice inside laugh.

i bet haruhi can match it in skill too.

[typhonsentra]

Great work guys, I love having something to read again!

Will you both start translating the next chapter sometime before February or is this break going to be a long one in which we shouldn't check too often?

[HolyCow]

You'll have to ask BaKaFiSh about that, Chapter 4 is his chapter anyway. You probably won't be able to see chapter 5 anytime soon ^^

I HAVE READ IT. You must have gotten something out of it that I didn't.

Spoiler for Charmed at First Sight LOVER:

Nagato says something to the effect of the human brain not being able to comprehend/withstand the information stored by the Integrated Data Thought Entity. Hence her removing the ability from the poor kid. If Yuki would go to the trouble to remove it from someone who already had it, it wouldn't be given to someone who didn't.

Spoiler:

The cynical part of my mind notes that this is what Yuki says. There's always the possibility that she's not telling the truth (whether unintentionally or otherwise), or that something out of the calculations might happen (like, say, a rival faction deciding that the risk is worth it, or being able to minimize the risks).

Spoiler:

Yuki not telling the truth? What reason would she have to lie? I can't remember Nagato ever lying about anything. Not that she wouldn't, but I can't see why she'd bother, especially with something as trivial and unrelated as this. She tells Kyon pretty much anything, as long as she thinks it won't completely scramble his brain, even if it's not what he wants to hear.
A rival faction pulling this kind of stunt isn't outside the realm of possibility. However, what practical application would it have? The poor guy could barely function with all that data messing with his head, so how could he possibly serve as a practical interface?

[onmyouji]

I think Nagato Yuki isn't capable of telling lies *haha*

you might be wrong

there was a part ( i dont remember which volume)

Spoiler:

that she cant guarantee that she is speaking the thruth

[panzerfan]

I would trust an individual that is willing to admit to fallibility and not giving a total guarantee anytime over someone that claims to be totally correct. People have the liberty to decide on what to do, and all opinions are just that, opinions, and regardless of how well-informed they might be, one must act bearing the onus of responsibility upon themselves and not on whoever that provided the opinion.

Having said that, it is quite a skill to decide on which advice to follow. Kyon has the hard task of making up his mind throughout the story, which to me is not any less trivial than to create a sound assumption on whatever situation they find themselves in.

[Noppapana]

Spoiler:

She was attacking savagely, spiking at every chance. And before you ask, let me clarify that I wasn’t peeping at her belly that occasionally showed whenever she made a high jump. I was looking at the expression on her face.

From Volume 8

LMAO why would he even do that ?

Spoiler:

But what exactly does that have to do with what I said. It did not concern the Integrated Data Entity that created Yuki. Other than her saying that it exists and that it was probably behind the Snow Mountain incident, we know absolutely nothing about the other entity. And, he was trying to connect directly to the Integrated Data Entity. It is not impossible that some kind of interface that limited Data flow would allow humans to communicate with the entity. We do not have nearly enough information to make anything more than guesses.

[KaneDragon]

Then there would be no point in having a humanoid interface at all, and the entity would just dial direct.

Spoiler:

Just the ability to perceive the Data Entity put the guy in a lovesick stupor.

Er, there's quite a bit of text that follows, but unfortunately it isn't translated yet. I just noticed that it sounded weird posting half the text O.o
