@Eurys: No offense meant, but are you a fluent Japanese/Chinese reader, or did you get that from some google translation site?

No offense at all, I'm not fluent in those languages, and I said in the spoiler thread I google-translated it (the chapter itself and people commenting that chapter), plus someone confirmed it in the image thread some times ago.

Now if someone can correct me on this, I'm all for it, I want more details anyway I crave for spoilers

@Natsuki : Well, np, I didn't do much anyway Too bad for missing the volume, but I see you're busy as usual

[willyvereb]

Then i'm still confused...someone who read the 9th volume can help me.

[Kusa-San]

I'm the only one who find a bit weird the whole development between Layfon and Nina in ep 18 and 19 ? I mean, it was really rushed and I find Layfon behavior toward Nina a bit tooo much and exaggerate

[satomianzaki]

i can't believe it!!! the girl in volume 9 is not nina??!!! and from the earlier comments, they said that the girl in the hospital scene is definitely nina and not leerin...this is getting very confusing...

can someone confirm this please? and i thought it was nina since she has a habit of passing out or getting injured...oh well...

Now take that you Nina fans in IRC that have been harassing me like no end! xD

*Skips back to try to do a song translation even her ears are doubting her like no end *

Hi Natsuki...from page 4 of Image Thread forum, you also said that the girl in hospital scene of Volume 9 is Nina...is that also a speculation? thanks thanks...

bwahaha....a blow to fellis fans if this is true, it be something if the anime ended with a mutual kiss of those two as well.

And not at the Nina fans, Naruki fans, Karyan fans? :\

Anyway, I too thought that the girl was Nina O_o

[Fevvers]

Eh, I wouldn't blow that scene out of proportion if I were you guys, not without knowing the context behind that. Besides, google translation is the farthest thing to being reliable and accurate.

[Ultramarinus]

Google translation + light novels is more or less like "babbies" meme. I just couldn't have it make any sense.

-still waving his Naruki flag even though it's a lost cause he will never give up-

Here is what happened. Excerpt from volume 9.

Spoiler for japanese raw light novel:

It is Leerin. But as a Nina ftw-er, this scene didn't faze me. A big part of that is because near the end of the volume you get this.



Yay. NinaxLayfon scene. Then after that 4 volumes passed. I don't know the rest.

It was a second hand information from someone else, unfortunately. I wasn't paying much attention to Nina in the novel from... I think Volume 6 onwards (*Leerin's fault!!! D:*), that's why I was asking the person who posted volume 9 image there, because volume 9 is not in my possession at all.

And thank you for posting the image excerpt ricaryx. Since I'm a bit lazy to read LN for sometime, I'll just post one line translation for Leerin fans because this is the easiest and one of the shortest but meaningful line haha:

Spoiler for novel:

[当たり前のように、唇が重なった] As if it was natural, their lips (errr... What's the English? Something around overlaps with each other... Oh well, I sux at translation.) touches.

Or in very, VERY simple unpoetic line: They kissed. Simple.

Back lines are angst. Personally, after reading the page before, I kind of understand why the translator said that the kiss is almost like "Brother-sister" type of kissing. (Errr... But in the mouth, is like, your mileage may vary ) because the scene has really less romantic tone and more like peaceful and calm heart to heart talk. However there are a lot of understanding where Leerin and Layfon resolve the matter of what happened in Grendan and things that I'm just too lazy to look at the kanjis right now. I prefer to hear gentle voice that tells me heart-killer lines and fangirl over Beato-sama

One line say that (paraphrase bitsy) "Even without having to see by the eyes, both of them did not hide that they cried". (目で確認しなくても、二人が泣いているのは隠しょうもなかった). So yeah, kind of like emotional understanding there rather than romantic overtones haha~ But we will see what can happen between all the girls and Layfon too

Though I must say I like the understanding between the two quite a lot, as this can prove that Leerin is not your average "My Childhood Friend Is Changing But I Don't Want Him To" childhood friend.

Hope this help

[ricaryx]

Thanks for that and you're welcome! I can scan more from that scene if anyone wants to. I didn't scan them because they're too many. We got clarification. That's good enough.

Haha, sorry for not posting the full translation (because really, I need someone to do editing at my translations than anything else since I'm not a good translator. Add that I'm VERY lazy to translate LOL), but I really hope this would help people to understand that the romantic scene is more of undertoned than the mutual understanding first

It's a somehow touching yet peaceful scene, to me But of course, of course, anti-LeerinxLayfon can interpret it just as bro-sis, while I can easily point out that this can be their base for the growth in their relationship quite easily haha.

And I don't think I will be able to translate anymore pages as I am just so lazy LOL (Unless it involves the ship that manages to grab my heart fully )

Put it into spoiler tags(somehow a similar way as i did when i quoted your post). Many people only watched the anime and they don't want to be spoiled.

Anyways it's interesting...A reason for why i would like a Nina X Layfon pairing in the LN. Why?

Spoiler for LN, vol 9:

It's quite rare in anime where there's an almost estabilished pair and then another girl "steals" the boy.In most of the animes/mangas: osanajimi -kiss,-mutual understanding combo means instant win regardless of the situation. If Nina manages to "steal" Layfon from Leerin in the end then it makes CSR's romance quite unique. Even more because it's partly a fighting shonen story(with many school life elements)

That would be quite a sight to behold.

Judging from the translations and spoilers that were given to me, it would seem that Nina plays more than just the obligatory 'third wheel' in the story, and I do hope it'll bloom to something more. For now, I'm curious to see if the anime shall diverge from the novel canon in terms of its romantic portrayal. Judging by the reactions of the novel readers, I would assume they didn't quite expect the 'fairytale' ending scene. At least, the anime seems to be taking quite a few liberties with the way they portray Layfon and Nina, and it'll be nice to see them taking this route.

Even more with an "obligatory" yandere childhood friend change(Shuffle showed us the way...similary to the School Days's "Nice Boat" ending). Perhaps it's totally impossible with CSR's style and story(I mean the psycho yandere change). But it's still hillarious to think about it.

[willyvereb]

I'm just wondering. Layfon actually has a harem of "royalities" and "nobility":
-Felli:Princess of Zuellni
-Nina: Ex-hieress of the Antalk house of Shneival
-Leerin:relative of the Queen of Grendan
-Meishen: queen of sweets
