Happy Thai new year!

aka

Happy Songkran Festival!! 🎉🎉🎉

“Luck is not your friend today.”

His voice was cold and quiet, like a water gun of ice. Yellow-white sunlight lit his slender face and shone from the water gun that pointed at my chest.

“Run, and I will shoot you.”

*Ahem* pardon me guys. A little explanation of the festival below the cut.

To put it in the easiest way, people splash water at each other in public, or you may call it public water fight. I’m not sure of the exact reason for doing so but I guess hot weather is one of them. The festival take place around 13-15 April(the new year is the 13th though) which is the hottest month afterall. Hot, like, an inch from hell, says a Thai folk herself 🔥🔥🔥🫠

Sometimes you might find people putting powder or white clay on their face or arms, hence Hijikata is holding baby powder bottle in one of his hand. Hawaiian shirt or the flower print shirt he’s wearing is also one of the most typical Songkran fashion 🌺 Other traditional activities include pouring water onto the elders’ hands or buddha statue. The water is usually flower-floated, so I replaced the snow in the original cg with rose petals which is one of the common flower used for the activities.

For more clear picture, you can look it up on google using “Songkran” or “Songkran festival” as keywords!

Btw, he’s soaking? WHO DARE SPLASHING WATER AT THE VICE-COMMANDER???

Edit : just noticed a huge mistake in my art 💀

How would you feel if some one took one of your pictures and colored it as a surprise?

Hi Anon-san! Thank you for your message.

As much as I love to see different arts from other people, I don’t think I’d appreciate anyone taking my works without my permission, regardless of them giving/taking my credits or not. I’d like it better if they ask me directly, and let me decide whether I’ll allow it.

Same goes for the other artists/writers/creators etc. If anyone want anything to do with someone’s work, I suggest them to ask the owner for their permission before doing anything.

Hakuoki Drama CD - Hijiikata Monologue Translation

*sigh* I'm tired. and annoyed. had to listen to a lot of noise because a water tank needed to be replaced... and it was just very, very, very, loud for the last few hours.

anyway, i think i'm going to translate the heisuke one of these next week since that's the last monologue that remains untranslated... one of these days, I should really get to subtitling things, but that takes a while and I'd rather do other stuff lol...

(have i mentioned that i'm lazy?)

Hakuoki - Hijikata Monologue

Translation by KumoriYami

Hey, what are you doing over there? The sun is setting/It's almost dark, quickly come here. It's just that every time you open your mouth, you say "I'm sorry, I'm sorry". Don't repeat the same thing over and over again. It doesn't matter if you push one or two more inconveniences to me. Don't worry, just rely on me more. That's your role/duty. Do you get it?

Oh, the branch of this sakura broke? Wow, it hasn't completely bloomed/in half-bloom. Do you want to take it home? It will probably wither soon anyway.

Was that too much? Ahaha… that's because I'm the Demon Vice-Commander. I'm probably more of an oni than a real oni. Oh, hey.. if you cover up your cheeks like that, you'll look like a balloon.

No, I'm not very surprised. Even sakura would like to be able to bloom at your side for a bit longer.

Blooming vigorously and then falling gracefully. That's the life of a warrior… which was something Kondou-san often said before. But I wonder if this branch will wither before it blooms. Well, I can't answer that sort of thing. I always feel that sakura make me think of unecessary things.

Hm? Wait, what are you crying about now? There's no such thing… ah… nn. there's no point in lying. Look at me, come on. Hah… you're a guy whose face changes instantly. That's why I can't feel at ease, and why I can't take my eyes off you.

Look, don't worry. Even if it's a broken branch, as long as it's placed into a bottle of water, it should last for a whille. Well, I guess it should be able to last until all the buds on this branch bloom. (laughs) You really are so gentle. For just a single sakura branch, you cry and smile/laugh like this.

Ah, I know, didn't I tell you not to worry? Even flowers like this that are taken from a tree can survive, I won't die so easily. So if you're so concerned about me, like you are about this sakura… ahem… please stay by my side forever. Got it?

⚠️Mild nudity⚠️

I’ve finished it 2 months ago but forgot to post it -_-

Venting down here. Feel free to skip!

The main idea is to make a contrast between the two crossdresser twins. I stripped their chest intentionally to indicate their ture identity with their contrast action to it. Kaoru wearing woman’s makeup while Chizuru wearing men’s hairstyle.

This was supposed to be colored at first, but coloring only make Kaoru looks weirdly innocent for an unknown reason. 🙄 I didn’t want to change the lineart in favor of the color so I tried every color tone possible but neither of them worked. Tbh, it’s a little disappointing after a long plan with so much hopes and effort 😭

But as long as Chizuru looks fine to me, it’s all good.

Happy Hakuouki’s 15th Anniversary

18th September 2023

My 6-hours-of-hand-drawn discarded work appreciation section (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)

I really do have no sense of making fancy background and element. Plain and classic work is the best.

Yamazaki's Short Story from Hakuoki Manyo no Shou Limited Edition Booklet (Translation)

This story is sooo cute that I got to translate it. I often wondered if Yamazaki and Chizuru are of the same MBTI type. The two of them are just perfect together.

(As for the Chinese herbal medicine, it seems that there is no need to buy more for the time being… The problem is the tools and medicines used for treating wounds and Western medicine…) 

I am completely ignorant about the tools and medicines for medical arts and Western medicine. I have no choice but to consult with Yukimura-kun.

As I was thinking about these things, I looked for Yukimura-kun, but I couldn’t find her. 

When I went out to the courtyard, I saw Shimada, who was about to go somewhere, so I called out to him. 

“Shimada-kun, have you seen Yukimura-kun? I have something to ask her.” 

“Oh, Yamazaki-kun. I saw Yukimura-kun hanging kimonos in the courtyard.” 

“The courtyard, huh? Thanks.” 

I thanked Shimada-kun and hurried to the courtyard. 

As Shimada-kun said, Yukimura-kun was in the courtyard, hanging kimonos. 

“Yukimura-kun.” 

When I called out to her, she quietly turned around. 

“Ah, Yamazaki-san, hello.” 

“Are you hanging kimonos?” 

“Yes, it’s almost the season to change clothes. I want the other Shinsengumi members to wear them comfortably.” 

“…I see.”

It is said that women tend to notice the details more than men, and I strongly feel that when I look at Yukimura-kun.

 (I also pride myself on being attentive, and I often receive compliments from the Vice-Commander, but still I can’t match Yukimura-kun.) 

As I was thinking about that– 

“So, Yamazaki-san, do you have something for me?”

 I came to my senses when Yukimura-kun asked me. 

“Ah. Actually–” 

I asked Yukimura-kun for advice on buying medical tools and Western medicines. 

“…So, if there is anything missing, I thought I would buy it on the way.” 

“I understand. I will check our backlog as soon as I finish this.”

 Yukimura-kun said so and tried to resume her work.

 “I’ll help you. It will be faster if we do it together.” 

“But… are you sure? Yamazaki-san, don’t you have other work to do?” 

“It’s not that I don’t, but it’s not so urgent that I have to do it right now. Besides, it would be better if you come with me for shopping. And we might be able to find Koudou-san on the way.” 

“Yamazaki-san…” 

Yukimura-kun looked at me with a grateful expression… 

(When I’m looked at like this, I feel… uneasy. I know she doesn’t have any ulterior motives, but still…)

 She bowed her head, expressing her gratitude. 

“Thank you for your kindness. I’ll take your word and go with you.” 

“Don’t mention it. After all, we are the ones who are forcing you to live in inconvenience. Rather than that, let’s finish this quickly. You also would like a bit more time looking for Koudou-san, don’t you?” 

“Yes, I understand–”

The moment she finished speaking, a small yawn escaped from her mouth.

 “Ah… I’m sorry! I was up late last night.” 

She apologized, looking away in embarrassment.

 “Didn’t you sleep well?” 

“I was reading the book on Eastern medicine that you lent me the other day.” 

“…You don’t have to rush to read it. I told you that you can return it anytime when I lent it to you.” 

“That’s true, but…” 

“If you’re sleepy and tired–”

 I was about to suggest canceling today’s outing, but I stopped myself. 

For Yukimura-kun, who was allowed to go out alone, she couldn’t miss the opportunity to look for Koudou-san. 

“You should take a nap over there. I’ll take care of the clothes.”

 “That’s-- too much!” 

Yukimura-kun immediately refused my offer… 

“If you go out with me like this, it will be more troublesome if you collapse on the way. Just follow what I said.” 

She showed a sad expression on her face. 

“You’re right. I’m sorry.” 

“No, I didn’t mean to blame you… Sorry, I chose my words poorly.” 

“No, it’s not like that…” 

Seeing Yukimura-kun’s expression become more depressed, I regretted my earlier mistake. 

“I know very well that you’re working hard for the Shinsengumi. It won’t hurt to take a nap. I’ll call you when I’m done, so rest over there.”

 I secretly worried that she would take my words in a bad way again, and waited for her reply. 

A smile finally appeared on her lips.

 “I understand. Then I’ll take your word and rest for a while. Thank you always, Yamazaki-san.”

 She bowed her head slightly and sat down on a bench nearby. She closed her eyes and began to doze off. 

(I didn’t do anything worth thanking me for. What is it… How nice is she?)

 I thought so, but I felt relieved by talking to her. 

(She’s good at medicine, of course, but maybe she also has the power to heal broken hearts without knowing it.) 

I thought so as I started working on the clothes that I took over from Yukimura-kun (somewhat forcibly).

Before long– I was in trouble after I finished hanging all the kimonos.

The problem was when to call out to her and wake her up. 

Probably, if I call out to her now, it would be too short a time to be called a nap.

 But if I go and do other work and then wake her up, it might be too late. 

But more than that, I can’t leave Yukimura-kun sleeping here. 

(Well, what should I do…) 

I was thinking about these things as I stood next to her. 

When I am looking at Yukimura-kun sleeping defenselessly, I feel somewhat sorry to wake her up.

 Or rather, I feel like I want to keep looking at her like this——. 

As I dwelled on these thoughts, a gust of wind began to blow.

 “Hmm… Ah… Um, how long have I been sleeping? The kimonos?” 

Yukimura-kun woke up and asked me, looking around at me and the surroundings. 

“O-oh, I’m glad you’re awake. I finished hanging the kimonos and was about to wake you up.” 

“Is… is that so… I’m sorry. I really left it all to you.” 

“Don’t worry about it. Come on, get ready to go out.” 

“…Yes!”

 She left a cheerful reply and went away.

As I watched her back, I wish I could have seen her sleeping face a little longer…

Hijikata's Short Story from the Manyo no Shou Special Edition Booklet (Translation)

I think this story deserves a CG: It’s got that cinematic quality.

No one can survive Hijikata’s stare unless it’s Chizuru near the end of Edo Blossom:)

(As stories from this particular booklet can be read either before or after playing the Manyo no Shou game, I’m not adding spoiler alerts. If you need spoiler alerts in future translations from this booklet, please let me know.)

This story was written by Izumi Nagano (長野和泉）.

“Hijikata-san, I brought you some tea.” 

As usual, I was working on some documents in my room when I heard Yukimura’s voice from outside the shoji. 

“Yeah, come in.” I replied, still busy with the documents. 

I felt the shoji open behind me, and Yukimura came to my side of the desk. 

And then, as she tried to put the teacup on the desk——

 “Oops……！”

My elbow knocked against Yukimura because I was trying to write a character.

“Ouch…!” 

Yukimura slipped her hand and dropped the teacup on the tatami floor. 

“It's hot…!” 

“Hey, are you okay?” 

I quickly took Yukimura’s hand and checked the extent of the burn. 

“Ah, I’m fine. It didn’t get on my hand.” 

Yukimura said, trying to pull her hand back, but——

 “I’m just doing this to make sure that you are alright.”

 I grabbed Yukimura’s wrist and stopped her from pulling back. 

And then, I made sure that she didn’t get any burns on her hands.

 “Good, it looks like you didn’t get burned.” 

“Y-yes…” 

While I felt relieved, I noticed that Yukimura’s hand was trembling in my grip. 

Yukimura’s cheeks were turning red, and she looked embarrassed as she avoided my eyes.

(I’m in trouble. I thought it would be awful if she should get burned, so I forgot myself and grabbed her wrist, but Yukimura is after all a young girl…)

 I should have a proper sense of the subtle boundaries between men and women. 

“…Sorry, I suddenly grabbed your hand. I don’t usually do such a thing, but I just forgot myself earlier.” 

I apologized just in case, and Yukimura nodded, all blushing. 

“I, I understand. I’m…fine.” 

She said with a face that didn’t look fine at all, which made me more worried. 

But she just kept her head down and stood up. 

“I’ll get a rag for the cleaning. I spilled tea on the tatami.” 

“Go ahead. Sorry for making you go through the trouble.” 

“No…it’s my fault.” 

After saying that, Yukimura left my room as if to escape.

After that, Yukimura came back with a rag in her hand. She wiped up the spilled tea, and put the tea she just brewed on my desk. 

“…Please enjoy your tea. I’m sorry for taking so long.” 

“No, it’s not like I have any urgent work to do, so don’t worry about it…but it’s rare for you to make such a mistake. Is something wrong?..Huh?” 

When I looked at Yukimura’s face again, I noticed that she had an odd complexion, and there were dark circles under her eyes.

“You don’t look well, are you getting enough sleep?” 

“Ah…” Yukimura lowered her head awkwardly at my remark. 

“You’re not sleeping, are you? What were you doing? Did some of the soldiers tell you to do some chores for them or something?” 

“No, that’s not it…!” 

“Then why? You can’t  fall asleep?”

Her father was still missing and his whereabouts unknown. I thought to myself that it was understandable that she couldn’t sleep because of the anxiety. 

But Yukimura said, “Actually, the other day, I borrowed a book on medicine from Dr. Matsumoto to read and… before I knew it, it was morning.” 

“From Dr. Matsumoto?” 

“Yes. I thought that if I learned some medical knowledge, I could help treat the injuries and illnesses of the soldiers. It would be best if we could always get Dr. Matsumoto to visit us, but he is busy. ” 

“…I see.” 

I was somewhat amazed by her reasons. 

(She’s in a position where we’re holding her captive, and yet she says she wants to help us. How nice can she be?) 

But still, I couldn’t help feeling glad that she sincerely wanted to contribute to the Shinsengumi. 

 “I understand your feelings very well. But if you overdo it and end up like this, you may cause trouble for the Shinsengumi instead.” 

“…Yes.”

“From what I see, you are doing your job conscientiously. Just take it easy. Got it?” 

I regretted sounding like a moralizer. 

“…Yes, I understand.” 

Yukimura also seemed to think she was scolded, and looked down with a solemn face.

 (This is awkward, somehow…)

 As I was thinking so, I sipped the tea from the teacup. 

It was the same tea she always brewed for me, with just the right strength and temperature. After moistening my throat with the mellow bitterness of the tea, I said, “You can go now. And go back to your room and take a nap. Okay?” 

“But…” 

“If you have something to do, ask another soldier to help you. If you don’t learn to delegate work to others, you’ll never reduce your workload.” 

Then Yukimura looked at me with her eyes wide open, as if she had heard something surprising. 

“…What’s wrong?” 

“No… I just remembered that Sannan-san said something similar to Hijikata-san before.��� 

“You don’t have to remember unnecessary things. Just return to your room, okay?” 

“Ah… Yes! I will take my leave.”

 Yukimura said in a flustered manner, then bowed her head lightly and left the room. 

(True, I’m not in a position to nag Yukimura either.)

I thought I’d go for a walk for a change of air, and I stretched lightly. 

A few days had passed since that incident.

I was working in my room when Yukimura brought me some tea, as considerate as always.

 “Excuse me. Hijikata-san, I brought you some tea.” 

“Thanks. Just put it there.” 

Yukimura heard my reply and was about to leave after putting the tea down. 

I suddenly remembered what had happened the other day and stopped writing. 

“Wait a minute.” 

As I turned around, I saw Yukimura’s face and she looked surprised.

 “Don’t move.” 

“Y-yes…” 

I ignored Yukimura’s trembling reply, brought my face closer, and stared into her eyes. 

“Hmm… You don’t look like you stayed up late last night... You can go now.” 

“…Y-yes!”

 Yukimura’s cheeks turned red in an instant, and she ran out of the room after this strained reply.

 “Ah…” 

I realized that I had made the same mistake as the other day, but it was too late. 

While sipping the tea that Yukimura had brought me, I absent-mindedly wondered what I should do. 

(The end)
