The corridor which had water leaking through the cracked gla.s.s was lit by the chipped lighting.
On the other side, a multicolored-fish swam across the gla.s.s" cracks.
(TL: Guesslation? The text itself is a mess. Let me put it here : 切れかけた照明に、水漏れした廊下。
罅の入ったガラスの向こうで、色とりどりの魚が泳いでいた。)
[It"s beautiful, isn’t it?]
Even though we held hands, there was no such feeling of being held upon.
As I became uneasy, I unconsciously gathered strength into my hand.
[Yumi-chan, it hurts a little.]
She laughed a little embarra.s.sed, I reflexively separated my hand from her and apologized.
[Sorry……]
[It"ll be troubling if I got lost, right? So, let"s holds hands once again, okay.]
(TL: 「迷子になったら困るもんね。もっかい繋ごうよ」Help… what would be a better phrasing for this?)
To her outstretched hand, this time the feeling of holding hers was there.
(TL: I took the liberty to change the phrasing to let it flow much better… I"m sure other translators would be much better at this. 差し出された手は、今度はちゃんと感触があった。)
[Ah! What kind of fish is that?]
A strange fish was swimming at the place she was pointing at.
The word, graceful comes to mind, a Pure-White Fish.
With a long body and shining scales, its fins flinched and fluttered.
Then, the fish that was swimming in front of us shortly disappeared and went somewhere.
[Huh? This aquarium is connected anywhere]
To this girl"s words, rather than fear, the beauty of the fish won.
(TL: Uhh… I don"t know what fear meant though… Haa… It"s hard… Help… 彼女のその言葉に、恐怖よりも、先程の魚の美しさの方が勝った。)
[But, the fish just before was beautiful, resembling that of a dragon.]
[Yea, I wish I could see it again]
When I was talking about such things, I noticed something fall on my feet.
It was a name tag with the name [Tomoe] written over it.
[…… Tomoe]
At that nostalgic sound, I narrowed my eyes.
Though it should be something that I mustn"t forget, I just can"t remember it.
If I try to forcibly recall it, an acute pain runs on my head.
[It"s fine.]
~kyu~ My hand was grasped.
(TL: ~Kyu is sound effect for hand being grasped… Dunno, I"m not the author!)
Her expression was exceedingly kind and gentle, that I thought she was a saint or something
(TL: Seibo literally means "Holy Mother, Virgin Mary, or Birth Mother of a holy man(or woman) since such existence are similar to saints, I gave it a go)
[…………. Tomoe]
When she was suddenly called upon, she turned delighted and smiled.
[Yeah, that"s right…
Thank you, for remembering me]
~Pichon~ Where does the sound of dripping water coming from?
(TL: Sound of water dripping)
Multicolored-Fish swims in a flutter.
[So, How about the mirror house next?]
Tomoe said so; I only gave her a nod.
Before leaving, when I looked back, finally the lights have gone out. The path we came through was already pitch-black.
Every single fish had disappeared.
I wonder what I saw.
Shuddering, chills run through my spine.
[Tomoe]
As I embraced her, Tomoe looked at me surprised, then laughed as she gave up.
[I see… Yumi-chan hates scary things since a long time ago, Sorry…]
Her chilly hand pats my head.
However, I did not feel any kind of fear towards Tomoe.
Throughout the evening, we took one step forth.
Chapter 2 is done! Whoo!!! That took like 1 whole hour! Nice!!!!
At least it"s not on the level of Consequences of Being Summoned Simultaenously Chapter 2 which hurt my brain so much!
