Chapter 11

Kazahaya : Work?
Kakei  : Yeah.
Kazahaya : I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it!! [stares at Rikuou] What about you? Will you do it?......
Rikuou  : You didn't even ask about what the nature of the work was before you said yes.
Kazahaya : But, that's because... we can earn money.
Rikuou  : Don't tell me you still haven't learnt your lesson from all the bad luck we've been having with Kakei's jobs...

Kazahaya : Huh? Bad luck?
Rikuou  : ["He's hopeless" look] You're gonna die somewhere someday [implied: You're asking for something]
Sagai  : OK, OK, Kazahaya's always been the naive, enthusiastic one, eh?
Kakei  : Rikuou, stop talking about me like I'm the shady boss of some illegal shop, ok?

Rikuou  : Isn't that what you are?
Kakei  : Anyway, the nature of the job... it'll be a little different from all the other jobs before.

Kazahaya : Different?
Kakei  : This time the job's overseas/far away.
Kazahaya : So that's what it is. It's OK.
Kakei  : You sure?
Kazahaya : Yeah! We've gone to faraway places on jobs before.
Kakei  : So, you wanna take the job?
Kazahaya : Yeah!  [Rikuou: Oei, oei...]
Kakei  : In that case then it's up to you to infiltrate a boys boarding school in the deep mountains, and experience school life...
Kazahaya : Yeah!...... Eh?
Rikuou  : ... idiot.

[Some boys school, under a tree]
Kazahaya : Ah ah~~~, if only I hadn't been so happy at the time we wouldn't be in this mess.
Rikuou  : You don't have much to say for yourself now...
Kazahaya : Then, why do we HAVE to talk here!
Rikuou  : No other way, this is the only quiet place.
Kazahaya : Even so, why like this? [Lit: Why in this position... o_o]
Rikuou  : Because this seems like that kinda place. If we don't do this, we'd be in trouble. [Implied: It'd seem suspicious if we weren't.]
Kazahaya : That kinda place?
Rikuou  : This seems to be the tree where people whisper sweet nothings to each other, and pass messages to each other, and confess their love to each other, so if we play our cards well, we can still meet here. So in this high school, in this place, if we act like a couple, then we won't be disturbed, won't be approached, and won't be eavesdropped on.
Kazahaya : This is a BOY'S SCHOOL!
Rikuou  : Uh-huh.
Kazahaya : What do you mean, 'uh-huh'? [sweatdrop]
Rikuou  : It's not like this is a bad thing, if both of us feel good.
Kazahaya : Ah? Huh? I guess...
Rikuou  : What? You have bad [unhappy] memories about this sorta thing?
Kazahaya : Bad memories?
Rikuou  : Like you got forced [implied: raped] or something like that...
Kazahaya : How should I put it, whether forced or not, it seems that this kinda people always seem to be around the two of us... [We always keep running into this kinda people?]
Rikuou  : Whatever. As long as your virginity [lit: hymen] is intact.
Kazahaya : What, virginity--!!
Rikuou  : Because you only have a face, and I guess it's still kinda pretty.
Kazahaya : Eh....
Rikuou  : Your hair and eye colour are all lightish... I guess they're considered beauiful.
Kazahaya : Riku...
Rikuou  : Someone's watching.
Kazahaya : Someone?
Rikuou  : ... No. I felt as if someone were watching behind me, from the direction of the hostel, but there wasn't anyone there when I turned around. The curtains were blowing... but it could ave been the wind... But we didn't talk about the job too loudly, so I guess it should be OK.
Kazahaya : Er. Yeah.
Rikuou  : Never mind. Anyway, it's better if we were seen.
Kazahaya : Why?
Rikuou  : Many reasons. Anyway, the important thing is to get the job done quickly.
Kazahaya : Uh-huh...
Rikuou  : These spectacles are too bothersome. They keep slipping.
Kazahaya : Something wrong with your spectacles?
Rikuou  : It's not that good, but it's not that bad either.
Kazahaya : Then why wear spectacles?
Rikuou  : Kakei told e to wear them while we were in school.
Kazahaya : Definitely because your eyes aren't good, right? [laughs like mad] Come to think of it, we've been here three days, but we still haven't found 'the target'. We don't know the first thing about where it is.
Rikuou  : Don't tell me it's a ring...
Kazahaya : Seems to be something important to this school [CuiLin?!? Guess it's the name of the school...], it's been here ever since it's founding. At least tell us what we're looking for so we can save some effort! [frustrated beyond words]
Rikuou  : You should tell Kakei.
Kazahaya : Kakei would never tell me.
Rikuou  : Let's start asking around from the tunnel.
Kazahaya : OK.
Rikuou  : Found anyone on your side who might have some answers?
Kazahaya : Found some already - There's this really nice guy in my class, with deep black eyes and hair and really fair skin.
Rikuou  : Goes by the name of Nayuki  surname [sorry, I don't know what this kanji is in Jap, in Chinese, it's 'Zhi'], right?
Kazahaya : How do you know about Nayuki? [You're in a different class...]
Rikuou  : He's famous.
Kazahaya : Because he's the class monitor?
Rikuou  : [of course this is a reason]... Reputation. [lit.: face.]
Kazayaha : Reputation?
Rikuou  : You've got quite a reputation too, right?
Kazahaya : Me? Because I suck at studies? Or because I'm really nervous? Or because even with my textbooks open I'm not reading 'em? [It's over, I've been discovered, I'm finished, I'm too stupid to make it to High School Grade 3 anyway...]
Rikuou  : If you wanna talk about being famous...
Kazahaya : Famous for what?
Rikuou  : Your eyes are too big.
Kazahaya : Eh?
Rikuou  : The bell's gone, lunch is over. I'm going to going to go ask around too. Go back to class.
Kazahaya : [stands there stunned] Bastard!! I'll definitely find it before you do!!
