'ay, having one parent is still good! Right, Subaru. T_T

From the few sentences I could understand because the lack of furigana makes me a sad panda, my poor Nanoha in this chapter. ._.

I think ZSS' translator is still in China. And the guy who typesets/cleans/IforgetwhatToridoes is lazy party partyyyyy.

They do have raws for the chapter before this one at least. Raw availability is the biggest blah for us. D:

Subaru: "Of course! ...now if only my siblings could stay sane and not, y'know, go evil..."

Just wondering, does anyone has a good idea on why she cried? Is it because:
1. Her dear father almost died (very understandable)
2. She felt helpless about the whole situation (equally understandable)
3. She regrets not being strong enough to protect him (definitely not normal 6-year old train of thought)

...what? Number 3, silly as it is (for a 6-year old to think of it), has defined so many heroes (especially messianic ones) that you just can't help but wonder...

Ginga: HEY! Come on, that was only once!

It could also be 4. She feels lonely, which was something that came up as a major factor for her past in the anime. Which is, again, understandable for a six-year-old kid; she's old enough to know what's going on, but young enough to still want attention for herself.

Asked a friend if she had time and managed to get a little more than what I asked for. n_N

Spoiler for nakanaide Nanohaaaa:

page 2:
My father was in an accident and was hospitalized.

My parents were on the verge of achieving their dreams: opening up a cafe outside the station.


page 3:
Though Kyouya-chan and Miyuki-chan were both small,

I was even smaller.

My father, lying there atop the pure-white hospital bed, would not open his eyes.


Page 4:
I could do nothing but wait.

[er this bit is a bit weird but I think it's like:]
What I understood, what I was sad about,

Is that even when I was right before the source of the sadness,

Even before the people that were sad, I could do nothing.

I was too small and powerless.


Page 5:
So

When I was alone, I cried a lot.

It wasn't because I was lonely. I just couldn't stand it. (better tl for kuyashii plz)


Page 6:
We became friends because of you, Nanoha-chan

(*nom nom*)

(cannot read side thing.)

A mischievous girl, and

a crybaby. (crying girl? seems weird to go literally??)


Page 7:
cut off bubbles~

If something precious to you was taken away or dirtied, I'm sure you would suffer a lot. (your heart would hurt, w/e)

Definitely much more than being hit, and for longer too!

Even you wouldn't enjoy it one bit.
If you're gonna play, then everyone's gotta be smiling and having fun. Right?

You're not wrong, but...

Do you get called weird a lot?

......Hey you. What's your name?


Page 9:
what the fuck is nanoha saying
something like "And now for some blasting magic!"

Fighting with you has caused me to remember some things.


Page 10
yeah like nanoha is shouting shit, whatever

[RadiantBeam]

Turns out option 2 was right, in that case.

Thank God . Hearing number 3 from a 25-year old Nanoha is fine (hey, it's part of the job), hearing it from a 6 year old would either be narmful or terrifying

Wait, did she said that her father was in an accident? So I guess back then she had yet to know of the Takamachi business ?

Nanoha (10 year old): "Father, the truth is ... I want to become a magical (soldier) girl!" <closes eyes, prepares for a long tirade about danger, responsibility, maturity etc>
Father: "Okay" <sips tea>
Nanoha: "Eh?" <beat> " Err, I actually expected you to be more opposed to the idea..."
Father: "My daughter, there's something you must know..."

Nanoha: AAAGH DAD

That is, what, third page claim for her already?.. That's not good enough, she deserves more!

Shirou: And there was this dark magical boy I was pretty close with after I befriended the crap out of him...
Nanoha: I don't want to know!! *ruuunnz*

Neither do I!

..no wonder she ended up (on-screen) chaste

PS: For a minute, when I read "Shirou" I was thinking of another horny bastard

Wait, did Shirou had his own share of conquest in Triangle Hearts?

[Nya~n]

trying hard not to picture Shirou befriending Clyde, and the consequent yaoi undertones...

ah, screw it, if the shippers can have their nanofate yuri OVERTONES THAT GO NOWHERE TO SOLVING THE SHIPPING ISSUE, then i'm going to want my ShiLyde yaoi!

[Koveras Alvane]

My God, what have I done. -__-

[itanshi1]

Well, I wasn't trying to make a joke about befriending, but that's cute

[Nya~n]

You have no idea how much i'm loving the idea of Hiroyuki-kun whacking the Count of Monte Cristo on the head.

Heh, Erio's almost a full head taller than Subaru now XD

[aers]

Still kind of confused how they went from "Nanoha is doing testing on the Strike Cannon and Vita isn't good enough to use hers yet" to "we have a version of it Erio can use" in the course of half a day. >_>

Height issue?

Vita must be another 10 cm tall to even hold the Strike Cannon?
