Chapter 2 The Enemy's Name is Kuronosukai{1}

{??????} Come forth...... Four Devas of the Den of Black...... {2}

{??????} Kurenai no Miroku, here before you now. {3}

{??????} Aoki Setsuna, right here.

{??????} Hakugin no Rasetsu!!

{??????} Kuroki Sa'tan.

{All four} We, the Four Devas of the Den of Black, gather here for the honorof Lord Tenkai.

{Miroku} The Four Devas have gathered here before you......

{Setsuna} You require our services......?

{Tenkai} Imbeciles! What was the meaning of that debacle!?

{Setsuna} My lord...... A mysterious group calling themselves the 'ImperialFloral Assault Group' showed up and interfered with our plans......

{Tenkai} Enough of your excuses!

{Rasetsu} We are truly sorry, Lord Tenkai......

{Sa'tan} But...... they are quite skilled.

{Tenkai} Be silent! Sa'tan! We are supposed to be invincible!

We have wrought out the means to destroy the steadfast seal placed on Teito!This, the 'Roku Hasei Kouma-jin'!{4}

Yes No

You are to carry out this black art and bring about utter destruction uponTeito! The first such target shall be Shiba Park!

{Miroku} Yes, lord!!

{Tenkai} Just a moment - for this occasion I shall make my ownappearance...... I am sure you wish to see how I fight as well.

Isn't that right, Sa'tan?

{Sa'tan} Yes, lord......

Hmph...... Conceited old fool, you've lived past your time......

* * * * *

{Ohgami} Whew...... It's almost opening time. Let's see, the tickets areall ready.

Still...... they really did put one over on me, putting me to work clippingtickets.

{At this point, a Flower-Troupe member will appear.}--- Sumire -->{Sumire} Ensign, good to see you keeping up the good work.

{Ohgami} Hey, Sumire. What's the matter?

{Sumire} A newcomer will be coming to join us today.

I just came to check on things, since it's just about time for the play,but...... it appears she hasn't come yet, has she.

=== LIPS 2-1 ==>- a - What's her name?- b - What's she like?- c - Is she cute?- time up -=- a >{Ohgami} What's the name of this person that's coming?

{Sumire} Her name is Ri Kohran. Though everyone calls her 'Kohran.'

{Ohgami} Ri...... Kohran?

{Sumire} Yes. She was born in China, but...... she speaks with a Kansaidialect. {5}

{Ohgami} Hmm......< a -

- b >{Ohgami} Is that so...... What's she like?

{Sumire} I believe she was a young girl who speaks with an odd Kansaidialect. I'm told she has quite a knack for inventing and poking around withmachinery. {5}

As soon as she came here she was transferred to the Hana-Yashiki branch. {6}

{Ohgami} Hana-Yashiki branch?

{Sumire} Yes. A division of the Imperial Floral Assault Group situated inAsakusa. Normally they run business as an amusement park.

{Ohgami} Hmm......< b -

I'll be staying here from now on. Pleased to meetcha!< a -

- b >{Ohgami} What's with that beat-up old bike......?

{??????-} Idiot! Just what do you think you're looking at!?

That steam bike I invented has four cylinders and sixteen valves! It's amasterpiece with a hundred horsepower and can reach up to 200 kilos per hour!

{Ohgami} I-I see......

{??????} Just what part of this is a beat-up old bike!? You try to give me that nonsense......

and I'll split that head of yours in two!

{Ohgami} I'm-I'm sorry.

{??????} As long as you understand, that's fine with me! I'm the brilliantscientist Ri Kohran.

I'll be staying here from now on. Pleased to meetcha!< b -

I'll have it cleaned up in the blink of an eye!< a -

- b >{Ohgami} I'm in the middle of work...... I can't show you around.

{Ohgami} Ahh...... She's gone......

{Tsubaki} Mr. Ohgami!

{Ohgami} Tsubaki......

{Tsubaki} That's not right. You must show Miss Kohran the way. Otherwise she'll be sure to get lost.

I'll take over the ticket-clipping for you. You take care of Miss Kohran.

{Ohgami} ......I understand. Well, I'm counting on you.

- b >{Ohgami} ......It was a bit of a rough battle, I suppose?

{Kohran} Heh, you're pretty honest, Ensign. There aren't too many who

would admit to something like that.

Well, now that I'm here, you've got nothing to worry about. You just putyourself at ease.< b -

The Hana-Yashiki's made out to be an amusement park, right? Which rides arethe fun ones?

{Kohran} If that's the information you're looking for, leave it to me! Thereare a ton of rides I've worked on!

{Kasumi} Yuri. I understand that you're excited, since you were classmatestogether, but you mustn't get in Miss Kohran's way.

......That's right, Mr. Ohgami. Would you be so kind as to escort MissKohran to the Manager's office!?

{Ohgami} I got it. Well, Kohran, shall we head to the Manager's office?

{Kohran} Well, Yuri, Kasumi-han. I'll be counting on you from here on once again.

{Kohran} It's true! It's really cute!< a -

- b >{Ohgami} It's rather bold, isn't it. It's pretty open around the shoulders,for one thing......

{Sakura} Is that so? Still, this is rather reserved for a stage costume.

{Kohran} That's right, Ensign. Depending on the play, we've got lots moreshocking outfits, right?< b -

{Ohgami} Hmm...... We get along about average, I suppose? It's not as ifwe were especially friendly together.

{Kohran} Is that so? Well, you are both rookies, so I suppose you haven'tknown each other for very long yet.< b -

from now on?

=== LIPS 2-7 ==>- a - No, I don't mind. {Ko+}- b - ......I'd rather you didn't.- c - I'd prefer 'big brother.'- time up -=- a >{Ohgami} No, I don't mind.

And that's what I love about the Tei-Geki Flower-Troupe.< a -

{Kohran} Are you a 'Kohbu' pilot too?

You must be pretty exceptional, bein' able to pilot one despite the fact thatyou're a man, I gotta say.

By the way, Ensign, you've fought with the Kuronosukai already, right?

How'd it feel?

Well, now that I'm here, you've got nothing to worry about. You just putyourself at ease.{Kohran} That looks real good on you, Maria-han. What role is this costumefor?

{Maria} It's the outfit for the role of a French soldier named 'Ondre.'< Look at Maria's outfit #1 -

{Maria+} No, something like that, usually, is something most people wouldn'tbe so considerate to do.

{Kasumi} Yes, well, the truth is, we'd like it if you could take care ofsorting through all these sales slips......

{Ohgami} Sure. If that's what you need, leave it to me.

{Yuri} Thank goodness! Now we can go home with that burden off our shoulders!

{Ohgami} ......Eh?

{Kasumi} We had the early shift today. The Manager instructed us to leavesorting the vouchers up to you......

{Ohgami} N-no way......!

{Yuri} Well, Mr. Ohgami...... We're counting on you.

{Ohgami} J-just a second!

* * *

{Ohgami} Still...... To think they'd put me to work not just clipping tickets, but sorting papers as well......

Am I...... really the Captain of the Imperial Floral Assault Group?

Lately I haven't been so sure......

~ {Eyecatch 2-1} ~

{Ohgami} Whew, they really put me through a lot of work today...... I neverexpected they'd put me to work sorting sales slips......

Thanks to that I didn't even get a chance to see the play......

Now then...... It's about time to make the rounds.

Hm? Who could that be at this hour?

=== LIPS 2-11 ==>- a - Yeah, it's open.- b - If you're looking for Ohgami, he's not here. {Ko-}- time up -=- a >{Ohgami} Yeah, it's open.

{Kohran} ......If that's the case, then just whose voice was that whoanswered, Ohgami-han?

Well, it's all right. There'll be another performance tomorrow. Next timeyou be sure to watch it.

{Ohgami} Yeah, you bet I will. By the way, what brings you here? At such anhour?

{Kohran} Oh, that's right, I almost forgot.< a -

- b >{Ohgami} I-I saw it.

{Kohran} Well, thanks. But still, I got my lines wrong that one time,didn't I?

{Ohgami} ......Eh?

{Kohran} You know...... during the scene when I was supposed to call outMaria-han's name.

I wonder why I got that wrong. Ohgami-han, you wouldn't get Maria-han's namewrong, would you?

{Jump down to === LIPS 2-12-1 ==> below.}{Ohgami} Kohran, you were lovely.

{Kohran+} Oh no, Ohgami-han! You're making me blush saying things like that!

But still, I got my lines wrong that one time, didn't I?

{Kohran} You know...... during the scene when I was supposed to call outMaria-han's name.

{Kohran} What are you talking about? The name of Maria-han's role is'Ondre,' isn't it?

......Ohgami-han. I get the feeling you didn't see the play. If you hadseen it you never would have gotten that wrong.

{Ohgami} ......I'm sorry. I really didn't see it.

{Kohran} I appreciate that you're trying to be considerate to me, but youmustn't tell lies, Ohgami-han!

......I've kinda lost interest now. Well, I'm leaving.

{Jump down to --- After Kohran leaves --- below.}< a -

- b >{Ohgami} Uhh...... Lord Ondre, was it?

{Kohran+} That's right. You did remember.

But it's not like me to stay worried about my mistakes for so long, is it?

{Ohgami} I suppose you're right. All you need to do is get it right the nexttime. There's no need to worry yourself about it.

{Kohran} ......Oh, that's right. I got so caught up in our discussion thatI completely forgot what I originally meant to talk to you about.{Ohgami} Uhh...... Lord ANDORA, was it?

{Kohran} What are you talking about? The name of Maria-han's role is'Ondre,' isn't it?

- a - All right, let's play!- b - Teach me the rules.- c - I don't really feel up to it.- time up -=- a >{Ohgami} All right, let's play! Kohran, I won't go easy on you.

{Kohran} All right, it wouldn't be fun any other way! Well then, shall weget started!?

{Jump down to === Kohran's mini-game ==> below.}< a -

- b >{Ohgami} In that case, teach me the rules. I don't know how to play.

{Kohran} No problem! Now, Ohgami-han, I'll teach the rules during actualplay.

Once I've finished explaining, we play for real! I won't hold back on you!

=== Hanafuda Tutorial ==>{Kohran} Now then, I'll teach you how to play.



It makes me feel a little embarrassed...... playing Hanafuda with you in myroom.

Well, let's not worry too much about winning or losing and just have a goodtime!

Let's see...... Now then, I'll explain how the screen's set up.

First of all, you and I are both dealt eight cards. This is your hand.

In the middle you see eight cards lying face up, right?

These are the cards on the table. They're the cards we take turns trying toget.

Now then, let's try and learn by actually playing!

If you look at your hand, you see cards with a glowing green outline, right?

There are cards out on the table with the same design as these, right?

If you look closely, you'll see the details in the picture are different,but as long as the picture of the flower's the same, you're all right!

You can take one card from your hand and one card from the table as a pair.

Now then, would you try actually taking a card from the table?

Please choose the card you want to take using the directional pad.

The selected card will be enlarged, so press the button there to play it.

All right! It looks like you were able to take a card of the same design.

Next, you'll automatically draw one card from these cards here, the deck.

Now, if you make a pair with one of the cards out on the table......

You're really racking them up! You've managed to take another one. That'swhat makes it so great!

The cards you've won will be lined up in the lower-right part of the screen,so keep an eye on them.

Now your turn's over. It's my turn.

I've played a card from my hand in the same way, making a pair with one ofthe cards on the table

and likewise, when I draw a card from the deck, if I can make another pair,I'll take it.

Now all we do is keep on taking turns like that. Simple, right?

--- If you don't have any glowing cards -->{Kohran} ......What's this? Ohgami-han, right now there isn't a single cardyou can take!

When that happens, you can just get rid of any card you don't need.

Any one will do, so please choose a card you don't think you need.

Select a card and press the button to play it.



{Kohran} Oh? You've managed to get a 'yaku'! {12}

Ohgami-han, since you managed to get three cards with the blue tanzaku designon them...... {13}

you've formed the 'aotan' yaku. You get six mon for that. That's a prettypowerful yaku! {14}

If you can form yaku before your opponent does, then you'll win. Simple,right?

For now, this means you've won. The points you've scored for your yaku willbe added up.

Incidentally, the points are counted in an old unit of currency called the'mon.'

Descriptions and explanations for all the yaku are available from the menu,so take a look at them later!

There are twelve different yaku altogether! I'm sure you'd be able to learnall of them easily.

Now then, since you've made an 'aotan,' you've essentially won.

But if you're feeling greedy, you can keep the round going.

Now, here you can see the 'deer' ('shika') and 'butterfly' ('chou') cards,right?

If you get one more, the 'boar' ('inoshishi'), to make a set of three......

you'll have the 'Inoshikachou' yaku! It's worth six mon.

Six mon plus six mon makes twelve mon altogether, so it's a big chance! Now,what are you gonna do?

If you're thinking 'I won't be greedy and take the certain win,' you cansay 'end it'......

but if you're thinking, "I'll be greedy!" then choose 'Come on, come on!'

{Options: End it (k "Yaameta") Come on (_P_P "Koi-Koi")}

--- If you chose 'End it' -->{Kohran} Since you chose to 'end it,' that'll end this round.

You win, Ohgami-han! You take six mon from me with the score from your'aotan.'

But...... things won't always be this easy.

I could make the yaku before you do, and say 'come on, come on'......

Sometimes it's important to be a little daring!

--- If you won the game -->{Kohran} That was a pretty good game. Thanks for playing it with me,Ohgami-han.

{Ohgami} Oh, no, it's perfectly all right. I had quite a bit of funmyself.

{Kohran} Sorry about that, Ohgami-han, but I don't feel right about somethingunless I go all-out at it.

Let's play again sometime. You work on your Hanafuda skill by then!

{Ohgami} All right, just you watch. Next time I won't lose!

{Iris+} Yaay! Thanks, big brother!< c -< == LIPS 2-15 ===

{Iris} You know, these pajamas...... Mother sent them here.

{Ohgami} Oh, that's right...... Iris, you live away from your parents, don'tyou.

Which brings me to ask...... where does your family live?

{Iris} In France. A place far, far away, across the ocean......

{Ohgami} ......You don't get homesick?

{Iris} Yeah...... at first...... but I'm used to it now.

You know, when Iris was little, she was a troublesome girl who didn'tknow how to use her 'power'......

{Ohgami} ......Power?

{Iris} Yeah. It's a power called 'spiritual energy.'

{Ohgami} ......'Spiritual energy?' Ahh...... That 'psycheon energy' thatserves as the driving force to make the Kohbu work.

{Iris} At that time, Iris was invited to Japan.

Since Iris didn't like causing trouble for Father or Mother...... Iris camehere.

{Ohgami} Iris......

{Iris} *Sniff*...... But right now, Iris is fine, since big brother andeveryone else is here for her.

Well...... Iris is going to bed now.

{Ohgami} ......Good night, Iris. Sweet dreams.

You really help us out, Ensign.

{Maria} It's because you do jobs like this that we can all rest at ease anddevote ourselves to the stage.

{Ohgami} ......It makes me happy to hear you say that.

{Maria} Now then, please excuse me, Ensign. Please continue your patrol ofthe theatre.

{Ohgami} ......Yeah.

{Ohgami} Eh!?

{Maria} ...the nighttime view you can see from here......

{Ohgami} (Oh, is that all. The nighttime view, huh......)

{Maria} Ensign...... Each and every single one of those city lights thatyou can see from here stands as proof of the lives of those townspeople,don't they.

{Ohgami} Yes...... I suppose you're right.

{Maria} Beneath those lights, so many people experience sadness, laughter,anger, joy...... and so they live their lives.

Ensign, for me...... this nighttime view is special beyond measure.

But...... the reason I can feel that way may be because...... I'm still alivetoday.

{Ohgami} ......Maria?

{Maria} Oh...... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt your work. ......Nowthen, please excuse me.

{Ohgami} Still alive...... she said. I wonder what she meant by that.

......Well, Maria's gone. I guess I should get back to the patrol.{Maria} Ensign. It's already quite late. I feel it would be best if you gotsome sleep.

{Kohran} ............

......I used to live in China up until a little while ago.

When I met the Vice-Commander of the Tei-Geki...... now the subdivision headof the Hana-Yashiki - I came to Japan.

That Vice-Commander circled the globe and scouted out both Maria-han andIris too.

{Ohgami} Heh...... I never knew. So that's how it was.

{Kohran} Well, that's about all there is to say about me. ......Ohgami-han,once again, I'll be counting on you.

Everyone in the Flower-Troupe's in the middle of performing, huh......Maybe I'll go see how things are going on stage.

* * *

{Ohgami} They're right in the middle of the play onstage. It looks likethey're coming up on the climax right about now.

{Sakura} Lord Ondre! Please...... run away with me.

{Maria} For me to abandon my duty and my men to run away with you...... Iwould no longer be who I once was.

Would you be able to love me like that?

{Sakura} Lord Ondre!

{Kohran} Ohgami-han, look at that. Sakura-han's really pouring her heart outinto it.

Meanwhile...... Maria-han fits her part far too well.

Look, a girl wouldn't be able to get enough of this stuff. She'd just faint.

{Sumire} My word, what an utterly plebeian performance. I cannot stand towatch.

Still, of course, it is rather far too dreadful of me to compare thatwith myself, simply overflowing with talent.

{Iris} Sumire, be quiet!

{Sumire} Honestly...... why should I be saddled with such a minor role, Iwonder?

The spotlight of the lead role is truly appropriate only for me. Would younot agree, Ensign?

{Ohgami} Ri-right.

{Kohran} Shh! ......They're finally coming to the climax!

{Voices in the crowd} Miss Maria!

Miss Sakura!

{Sakura} Lord Ondre!

{Sumire} Miss Sakura! Just what do you intend to do now that you have madesuch a spectacle of the stage!?

{Sakura} ......I'm-I'm sorry.

{Sumire} Honestly, I cannot believe what a mess you've managed to make withyour clumsiness! This is why I cannot stand these uncivilized types......

Uncouth, uncoordinated...... and uncivilized, on top of it all...... The three key requisites to being a fool! {17}

{Sakura} ......If you're looking for faults, I think you're the one with themost, however. {18}

{Sakura} Because he was working so late yesterday on fixing the stage......Let's let him sleep.

{Sumire} So they've come!!

{Maria} Everyone, the repairs will have to be put off for now. Meet up inthe command room!

{Kohran} I've been waiting for this! It's finally the first battle for meand my Kohbu!

{Sakura} Let's go, everyone!

* * *

{Ohgami} Imperial Floral Assault Group, Flower-Troupe, prepared for battle!

{Yoneda} Right! The Kuronosukai is currently attacking Shiba Park!

{Maria} Shiba Park......?

If I'm not mistaken, the Teito Tower was just built there recently.

{Sakura} We mustn't let something so important be destroyed, must we!

{Kohran} Teito Tower is the relay point for all electromagnetic wavetransmissions throughout the entire Tokyo area! If it were destroyed......

...every last thing from encoded military transmissions to teatime radiowould all be put right out of commission!

{Ohgami} But Chief, when you consider the distance from here to Shiba Park,the Kohbu would never make it in time......

{Yoneda} I realize that. Don't worry. This time you'll be moving out in theShougei-maru! {20}

{Ohgami} Shougei-maru?

{Kohran} So the day has come for the Shougei-Maru...... to finally take off!

{Iris} It's no fun! Iris has to stay home again.



{Kohran} Iris, your Kohbu'll be ready real soon, so you just hang tight fornow.

{Iris} ......Okay.

{Yoneda} All right, Ohgami. Give the order to move out!

{Maria+} Yes, sir!

--- If you rescued Sumire in the pool the previous night -->{Sumire+} Ensign...... I will make certain to repay you for what happened atthe pool!

{Flower-Troupe} Imperial Floral Assault Group, go forth!

{Tenkai} Mmuh......?

Damn you! Teito Tower will come afterwards. First, I'll deal with thosefools!!

{Maria} Annihilate the enemy. If we don't, we won't be able to defend TeitoTower all the way through to the end.

{Kohran} Which would mean, in other words, that if Teito Tower's destroyed,the mission's a failure, huh.

{Ohgami} All right, we'll defend Teito Tower!

{Maria} Wait, please, Ensign! The enemy has already put into effect ratherlarge-scale preparations for battle.

These appear to be turrets, but they seem to be target anything lined uphorizontally with them. Let's destroy them in order to proceed.

This is a "Steam Stand." It has the ability to restore your stamina. Itwould be quite advantageous to secure this location.

{Ohgami} I understand the battle situation. All right, commence combat!!

=== Battle Start ===

=== After each unit has had one turn ==>{Kohran} Those are the 'kasen' developed in my country around the tenthcentury! {22}

{Ohgami} Kasen......? You mean those projectile explosives I learned aboutat the military academy!?

{Kohran} That's right...... But this is the first time I've ever seen one upclose before. Be careful, everyone!

- a - Take the front lines- b - Make long-range attacks from the rear {Ko+}- c - Stay back and watch- time up -=- b >{Kohran+} You got it! That's our Captain! You knew just where my trueabilities lie!

When enemies are bunched up together, my attack'll come in handy!!< b -



enemy.

{Maria} Not quite!! Take a look at that!

{Sumire} Wh......what is this? This unusual mystical aura? Some sort ofdemon......!?

{Tenkai} I see...... So these were the ones who bested Sa'tan......

{Ohgami} You fiend, who are you!?!

{Tenkai} I am Tenkai! The great leader of the Kuronosukai...... the very first and final ruler of Teito!

{Ohgami} What!?

{Tenkai} You fools who would work against my ideals...... your insolence isquite grand!!

You are not fit for me to serve as your opponent!!

Kaaaaaaahh!!

{Ohgami} Wh-what!?

{Maria} Captain! That one's much stronger than the enemies we've faced upuntil now. Let's go with a formation that emphasizes defense.

=== After Ohgami's unit is damaged by the boss wakiji ==>{??????} You have no chance of winning if you attack it directly - get on topof the 'Steam Stand' and wait for your chance!

{Sakura} That voice...... who could it be, really?



{Kohran} This is the Imperial Floral Assault Group's Vice-Commander, and head of the Hana-Yashiki branch.

{Ohgami} Eh-ehh!? Vi-Vice-Commander!?

{??????} I'm Fujieda Ayame. Pleased to meet you, Mr. Ohgami.

{Ohgami} Th......the pleasure is all mine!

{Ayame} A Captain needs split-second powers of judgment. I have high hopesfor you. Hang in there, Mr. Ohgami.

{Ohgami} Ye......yes, ma'am. Let's do our best, everyone!

{Sakura} Sigh......

* * * * *

{Tenkai} Curse you! Damned Imperial Floral Assault Group! You would opposeme to the very end!?

In that case, I shall make known to you full well the true horror of Tenkai!!

Four Devas!!

{Miroku} Annihilate Teito!! Obliterate the Imperial Floral Assault Group!!

{Wakiji} OBLITERATE! OBLITERATE! OBLITERATE!

=== Next episode preview (x6) ==={Maria} Farewell, my youth.

Farewell, my love.

Time stopped for me during that war.

Next time, on Sakura Wars...

"I am not Fit to be Captain!?"

A storm of romance in Taisho cherry blossoms!!

Only this locket......

......knows the pain within my heart.

=== Translation Notes ==========

{1} 'Kuronosukai' (v) translates to something like 'the Den ofBlack.'

{2} The original 'Four Devas' (=+) or 'Four Heavenly Kings' areguardian deities of the Buddhist realm from each of the four cardinaldirections.

{3} The colorful modifiers preceding the names of the Four Devas are asfollows: 'Kurenai' () translates to 'crimson'; 'Aoki' (Y) translates to

'blue'; 'Hakugin' (5), 'silver'; and 'Kuroki,' (Y), 'black.'

{4} Literally 'the Six Destructive Star Demon Points' (_().

{5} The Kansai-ben (l9) or "western dialect" refers to one of several

major general groupings of various dialects. The Kantou (r) or "eastern"dialect is considered to be the "standard" for Japanese. Kansai-ben is really a blanket term which covers all the dialects from the Kansai area;



this includes not only Osaka-ben but Kobe-ben, Kyoto-ben, and many others.Kansai-ben is considered to be somewhat more informal than Kantou-ben;however, in this regard, it can be seen as more "friendly," but then I'mnot one to be making such a subjective judgment. It should be noted thatKohran is generally described as speaking with an "odd" Kansai dialect; hersappears to be somewhat exaggerated.

{6} "Hana" ([) simply means "flower"; "yashiki" seems to mean "mansion," butprobably not in this case.

{7} "Dansou no reijin" (z), which translates to a "beauty in men'scostume," seems to be a set expression.

{8} As part of the "effects" of the particular dialect Kohran uses, manyinstances of the "s" sound become "h" - in this case, the "-san" titlebecomes "-han." I've decided to leave it as-is since it doesn't reallytranslate well.

{9} The Tokugawa regime was a system of centralized feudalism, marked by adominant warrior class, that acted as the Japanese government from 1603 to 1867, when it was overthrown and replaced by the Imperial-based Meiji government, in which the old feudal system was abolished.

{10} Hanafuda ([{, literally "flower cards") is a classic Japanese card gameinvolving the matching of cards with similar flowers painted on them whichKohran will explain in depth.

{11} 'Koi-koi' translates to something like "Come on!" It is one style of Hanafuda play; others exist. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say thatthe cards themselves are called "hanafuda" while the name of the game is "Koi-Koi."

{12} A 'yaku' () is simply a specifically defined group of some number ofcards that yields a point value and effectively allows one to win the round.I have seen this term translated as "meld." Yaku used in this variant of Koi-Koi are described within the mini-game.

{13} A 'tanzaku' (u; also, 'tanjaku') is a small vertical card or slip ofpaper used for writing characters or poetry such as waka. On hanafuda theyare easily distinguishable and colored either red or blue. Red ones may havewriting on them.

{14} 'Aotan' (r) means "blue tanzaku." A 'mon' () is an old unit ofcurrency, no longer in use.

{15} I have taken the liberty of replacing sentence termination here withan ellipsis to provide the necessary ambiguity of Maria's statement. The problem here is that the Japanese for 'I like/love (someone/something)' does not necessarily need a direct object, and therefore can be ambiguous, as is the case here. Thus, Ohgami is momentarily tricked into thinking that Maria might declaring her affection for him here. Unfortunately, in English, such ambiguity results in awkwardness when translated directly, sothe text suffers in translation.

{16} The 'gourai' in 'gouraigou' (d) means "clamorous thunder," while the

suffix 'gou' () is simply a signifier attached to names of trains and othersuch vehicles denoting them as such.

{17} Unfortunately this is a rather weak translation. The original line was"Dorokusai, donkusai...... omake ni inakakusai...... kusai-kusai no sanbyoushi desu wa!" ([aP|[aP......V]wJ[aP......

[aP[aPz2se) Sumire uses three different words that all endin "kusai" (literally "foul-smelling"), which serves to turn nouns intoadjectives with a negative connotation. She then spontaneously describes these as the "three key requisites of 'kusai-kusai,'" that is, three faults that mark Sakura, in Sumire's opinion, as characterized by adjectives thatend in 'kusai.' This of course translates poorly into English. I tried to

force it by picking adjectives that all begin with the letters 'unc-', inorder to capture the effect of Sumire's witticism, but "uncoordinated" is notreally a good translation for "donkusai," which is closer to "simple-minded."

{18} Sakura is using the borrowed abbreviation "NG" ("no good") here to mean"faults." A more literal translation would be "If you're looking for NG's('No Goods')..."

{19} Another play on words. "Sumimasen" is a figurative expression meaning"I'm sorry." It is also the negative form of the verb "sumu" (I), whichmeans in this case "to put an end to something." Thus Sumire says "You won'tend this with a simple 'I'm sorry' ('sumimasen ja sumimasen')."
