(I have much love for the Sanada)

[pez]

nympholepsia, this is a very very rough translation for Butterfly Funeral. I was going to post it in a comment but LJ said it's too long.

Page 19 is the cutest thing ever.

Thank you so much for the scans. ♥

[The catepillar on my blossomed flower became a butterfly.]

[Because I love the flower, because I'm jealous of its beauty,]

[I buried the butterfly alive.]


04.jpg

[It has been a year and a half since the nightmare of my sickness.]

[We've entered Rikkai high school.]

[We continue playing tennis without change.]

[But there is a small scar --]

BUTTERFLY FUNERAL


06.jpg

"I can see bugs."

"Bugs?"

"Yes, bugs."


07.jpg

"You can't see them?"

Yagyuu: No.
Bunta: No.
Sanada: No.
Niou: Ah, split ends.

Yanagi says that he can't see anything and asks Yukimura if he's started seeing them recently.

Yukimura says it's been a while and he thought that everyone else could see them too. He reconfirms that they can't see the bugs. (Niou says his hair conditioner is no good...)


08.jpg

Yagyuu asks Yukimura if he's been treated by the doctor. Yukimura isn't sure if this is sickness. Yagyuu says that it's not good to let it get worse and he should see someone. Yukimura asks which specialist he should see, and Yagyuu suggest a neurologist.

Niou speaks up and tells Yagyuu this is not the place to talk about such things.

Yagyuu realises his stupid and apologises to Yukimura, who says it's fine.


09.jpg

Sanada says that the prefecturals are soon, and if the senpais allow, Yukimura can have his first official match in a long time.

[It's been a year and a half since the nightmare sickness]


10.jpg

Even though he's recovered, he feels like he's hanging in midair. He isn't confused about continuing tennis, but there is something that isn't letting him move forward. To be honest, it's painful.

Sanada is concerned and asks Yukimura if he didn't want to play.


11.jpg

Yukimura thinks to himself yes, that's the truth, but if he says so then Sanada would be distressed. So he says of course he does, and Sanada says he's relieved.

Yukimura feels that he cannot breathe, and it's moments before he suffocates.


12.jpg

He wonders if this is how the butterfly felt when he buried it alive. And if this time, maybe Sanada is burying him alive?

Yukimura: It's raining.

[Help me, Sanada.]

Yukimura: Sanada, come to my house to stay out of the rain. There is no one home right now.

[Make me breathe.]


13.jpg

Yukimura: Aa, here they come again. The bugs.


14.jpg

Yagyuu says it's the prefecturals soon, and asks Yanagi if he feels lonely that Akaya isn't around this year.

Yanagi says Yagyuu is talking crap, and asks after Yagyuu.


15.jpg

Yagyuu says that his life's ambition is to be a virgin all his life. Yanagi says he's bullshitting again. That whether Yagyuu gets into medical university or not, he would get married with some woman, inherit the hospital and have children. He'd work so that he has money when he grows old, and all that sparkly life plan.

And then Yanagi says that it's interesting that such a person is stuck so deep in the mud.

Yagyuu says Yanagi has such a nice personality ...and how about Yukimura?

Yukimura: Sanada, you can't see them?


16.jpg

Sanada: The bugs? Sorry, I don't...

Yukimura: No, it's alright. Sorry for saying weird things. Let's not think about it.

[I know, this is the embodiment of my pain.]

Yukimura: It's not easy to explain to you. (I think)

[And so I'm the only one who can see them.]

Yagyuu: What Yukimura-kun can see is definitely illusion.


17.jpg

Yagyuu has heard about it from his dad. When the burden on the mind becomes too much, the brain twists some things. It seems like Yukimura is quite affected by his sickness. (I think)

[But it isn't that nothing can be done. It's just too late.]


18.jpg

Yukimura: Sa...nada, enough.

Sanada: Um, Yukimura. I don't know a better way to say this, but I'm always thinking about it, that I want to become your strength.



19.jpg

Yukimura: ???? What, what is it, Sanada, what...

Sanada: I know that you are seeing bugs

[After the operation, you smiled a lot. Inside the darkness there was courage.]

Sanada: You are always smiling vaguely.

Sanada: If there's something on your mind, talk to me! I'll definitely help you. Okay, that's all, let's go.

(SANADA I WIBBLE AT YOU!!!!)


20.jpg

[To say something like that at this sort of time]

[That's so mean of you] (卑怯 can mean unfair, mean, or cowardice, so I dunno which...)

[I can see the bugs with my two hands] (?)


23.jpg

[I have lost the place to escape to.]


25.jpg

Yukimura: I saw butterflies.

Yanagi: What are you talking about... it's pathetic (?) (itaitashii?)

Yukimura: It does hurt (hurt = ita), actually I bled.

Yanagi: No, that's not what I'm talking about... although I think you're heading towards a good direction-

"Yukimura!"


26.jpg

Sanada reminds Yukimura to go to the buchou meeting today. Yukimura is all "yeah whutever." and he tells Yanagi (I think?) that it's love, so?

Yanagi asks what happened to the bugs, have they disappeared because they became butterflies?

Yukimura says no, a lot of them appeared, and so they became butterflies. (?) But is that love? He doesn't understand. Even though it's out of his hands (?), he's happy.

Sanada: It's not easy to explain to you. (what Yukimura said in pg16)


27.jpg

Yukimura: Sharp ear.

Yanagi: He's gone.

Yukimura: It's revenge.

[It's not easy to explain to you.]

Yanagi: Let's go.


28.jpg

[Although I've lost the place to escape to]

Yukimura: Yanagi, I...

[I feel quite relieved]

[But thanks to Sanada, I feel that I can] (?)

Yukimura: Will be going to the prefecturals.

[For now, I will move forward and fight.]
