This is the second story in the third Gaiden.
Context: Shuuei comes home and meets Gyokuka.
Context: Conversation between Shuurei and Ryuuki at the end of book 12.
From the third story. Just the very beginning.
Context: nearer to the end of book 12
Also from book 12
context: also from book 12. Somewhat different, I am told, from how it turns out in the anime.
From book 12 also.
Context: Ryuuki is on a boat after having left Kiyou. This I think should be around ep 35 of the anime, but I don’t watch the anime, so I don’t know for sure.
Book 12 prologue. Revised from earlier draft.
Right now I have about seven scenes of Saiunkoku that I need to edit before I can put on the blog, and I have two translations in progress. >_>
There are a few more scenes I want to translate, but I’ve gotten most of the ones I want to do out of the way.
The next Saiunkoku novel is coming out in May, so there’s a long time to wait.
I think after this I’ll translate some scenes from Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and maybe try my hand at some manga. LoGH would be mostly a self-indulgent project for me, because so few people watch the anime these days. I should try reading something more substantial than light novels or space opera, but oh well. I’m also thinking of reading the Irresponsible Captain Taylor novels, or maybe Crest of the Stars, speaking of space opera.
I just wish I knew more about Japanese fantasy novels other than Twelve Kingdoms.
