Shinpuri 10.5

3 min read
so I fiiiiiinally got my copy (I'm probably like the last one ugh) and wow this stuff is great

Krauser continues to be one of my favorites, because he's so ridiculously adorable: he really likes Yagyuu because Yagyuu was very nice to him, he's of course studying Japanese, he's JEALOUS of the other students who have senpais, and unexpectedly he gets along with Ryoma. And the thing he's bad with is Akaya. LOL. (was that in his profile last time??)

I can confirm that little thing going around saying Tokugawa thinks of Ryoma as a little brother, so now that it "seems like he's going to be taken away by Ryoga" there's some rivalry going on there, hahahaha

anyways moving onto the most important things (aka Shun-senpai and Issa)…
Shun has his interest in techie stuff, like his interests are, again, blogging and Twitter. His favorite color is CHERRY BLOSSOM PINK (yea idk I wasn't expecting that at all, though I probably should've because of his name…) and he's not in any committees (probs too busy blogging). He has a mom, dad, older sister & younger brother, and his favorite food is…canned peaches? He likes canned white peaches, ok moving on he wants a new Smartphone and hates mushrooms. He's very fast in sending out mail on both a Smartphone and an oldie phone (like a fliptop). His blog is, once again, titled, "Haru (Spring) and Tennis and Sometimes Electronics" and his screen name is Haru (yet ANOTHER play on his name, Shun's name has the character for "spring" in it). Also he has three freaking cellphones, and it even lists them as a Willcom, a Smartphone, and one with a good camera. BUT what stood out to me through all this is that he's a righty, until he uses Synchro–––––in which his dominant hand becomes left.

Issa's profile is a little less exciting but HE REALLY REALLY LIKES KARAOKE it tells us again his interests lie in karaoke (and it reminds us that he likes ~mature women~), that he's going to karaoke alone a lot lately, and also he dislikes people that hog the mic. His favorite color is yellow-green (is that why he dyed his hair blue??) and he likes basashi. He also wants a guitar and can apparently songwrite for it, both lyrics and music.

I decided to check Mouri's profile on a whim and saw that he wants a frying pan and his skill other than tennis is this pro wrestling move. Oh, he also is bad with hot things!!! Cat's tongue!! Aaah, I feel you, Mouri. It also says he originally was from Shitenhouji, but transferred to Rikkai in middle school. Also!!!! ALSO!!!!! Wow I wasn't expecting Mouri and Kaji to have ANY canon relationship or anything I thought it was only a fan's dream, but here!!! It says that he thinks of himself and Kaji as in the "natural perm alliance"!! But if he said that out loud Kaji would get angry so he thinks it in his heart. (Kaji hates it when you call his hair a natural perm. it's just curly.)
speaking of Kaji, he's into divination, it's really strange. And he wants hair wax. And he's in the book club and hates disruptive noises. I think he'd get along well with Piyo.

also we're getting new OVAs that continue the story??? we get to see animated Kaji and Akuto-nii-san waaaaa

aka Miroku's story in the first Psyren novel.

I can't understand
The meaning of the creeping melancholy
The legend from long, long ago
That won't let go of my heart


This is one year before he encountered Yoshina Ageha.
"It seems like the search for #01's whereabouts will take a little longer. Seeing that the government's been in a frenzy for 10 years and yet still can't find him, it's understandable……anyways, this 'Yusaka'……can we trust him? It looks like he's devoted to you, but……isn't he the same as the lot who treated us like lab rats?"
As Junas gave his report, sitting and putting his left leg over his right and resting his chin in his hands, [Miroku] listened while seemingly indulged in thought.
He had handsome facial features by nature, and, like a saint of ancient time, looked like a philosopher contemplating something.
"……I don't like him. If that man is made into your servant, he'll be included in the 'not-human side,' and will think he can just kill as much as he likes……he isn't different from the old race* after all. He'll do anything as long as he has a reason to, and he's just a deranged serial killer."
It was three months after they–––––or more specifically, he had destroyed the Grigori research lab.
Revenge against the old race that treated them as tools, and the liberation of those with power–––––and so he, who stood up for the sake of his "goal," began by gathering those with power who had been branded as heretics by the world as he had been.
First was the search for the same Grigori test subjects as they were, but they didn't know the whereabouts of the first test subject and called the strongest, #01–who destroyed the first plan–through #04.
The only one he could take out, was #05 in the same research lab–––––only Junas.
There, in order to have more battle power, two with power, Inui Kiyotada and Yusaka Aoi, were recruited and slipped into town.
Inui, who was currently brainwashed, apparently had connections with some other people, and therefore was put in charge of gathering funds needed as the outward one in charge, while Yusaka gathered information from the old race's side and observed Iba Kouichi.
"Heyy……are you listening to me?"
Gaining no reaction at all from his words, Junas asked this while slightly emphasizing the end of his sentence.
"………Can you really not understand why I let Iba live?"
He spoke as if reading Junas' mind, a faint smile appearing.
"……Obviously…… [Junas says stuff here about Yusaka and how Iba is different and stuff idk I can't understand it!! ;o;]"
Iba Kouichi–––––the man who gave him the absolute best birthday present. The old race's greatest offender.
"Fufufu……it's not really that big a reason. If Yusaka is there, he can't do anything foolish. There's no need to kill him."
"Have you become attached to him? Is that why you let Yusaka live?"
While still one of the Grigori researchers, Iba, while feeling bad for him, had pressed the switch to turn off the PSI represser mechanism on a promise for only one night.
One night–––––just that amount of time of freedom was enough for his power to turn everything upside down.
All the researchers were killed. But Iba Kouichi was the only one he left alive.
Junas took that as his being sympathetic towards Iba, and thought he was being soft.
He thought that giving a more believable reason of observer and information gatherer, and being on good terms with Yusaka, who was the same, were because of that as well.
"Did I not explain it correctly……? It's just that there's no reason to kill him 'now'……in any case, after a few years, the world will crumble. Even surviving will be difficult. At that time, he will reflect on how horribly he betrayed his own kind and die……it's just a little fun, you know?"
"……………………"
When Junas saw him say that and smile, a chill ran up his spine.
Grigori test subjects had lost all feelings. Otherwise, their minds would've broken.
But even so, he was smiling.
Though he was older than Junas, or around the same age, at that time he had a smile that was of an innocent child.
Yes, innocent.
Like a child as it laughed while pulling off the legs of an insect, like he could smile without any sense of guilt as he turned human lives into playthings.
Junas had felt the nothingness, as if all life was empty and worthless, like he was before a god or something like it.
"What's wrong? Junas?"
"………No, it's nothing. If that's how it is, I won't speak out against it anymore."
The feelings that had blossomed within Junas at that time weren't of "fear."
They were the feelings of facing God or the Devil, or something like it–––––"fear."**
"Then……for the time being, the regulation of your past and………if possible, should we also look for the whereabouts of #07?"
"#07, huh……that'd most likely be difficult. She'd probably hide from me. Also–––––no, it'd be a waste of time to look for her. More importantly……there's something that's been bothering me."
It was what he'd been thinking about ever since before.
"Junas……do you hear a song?"
"……………A song?"
Junas' eyebrows knit in puzzlement.
"I can hear a song……I see, again……"
"……………Maybe it's–––––"
"Pft………"
Before Junas finished, he laughed amusedly.
"Don't worry, it's not the aftereffects of my medicine or something. Those went away a long time ago. It's not that, it's not that………but, I see……as I thought, only I can hear it……"
He had a face that wanted to say, "as I thought," but thought "but then[…]."
The song didn't reach him by "sound" vibrating through the air.
It was being transmitted via thought waves, something like Trance.
It was very weak and fragile, and even though he had one of the best powers within the Grigori test subjects, it would take a bit of time though he'd noticed the song.
He knew the general direction, but it was from a considerable distance away.
It was like he was being invited by a sweet, sad singing voice.
"I can't hear it, but……is it supposed to be a distress signal?"
"I don't know……but long ago, I'd heard this singing voice before……so I thought maybe I'd answer it once."
"It could be a trap, you know? Or is this another 'just a little fun'?"
In revenge for before, Junas shrugged his shoulders as if teasing.
"I understand. I'll take care of the preparations for cleaning up your past."
"Sorry about that."
While he said that, he smiled again.
Junas had chosen to walk with him to liberate those with power that had been oppressed like he had been. Even if they had just a tiny bit of power, if they wanted to be saved he wouldn't just let them be.
It was covered by a cold mask, but Junas knew that he held deep feelings towards those like him.***
"In three days, let's meet here again."
And thus, he and Junas temporarily took off for different things.

~~~~
*They refer to humans as what I chose to translate as "old race," but it's kinda like…what we think of the cavemen? They're saying they are the more adept and whatnot than humans, like they're the next evolution.
**Oh my god this sounds SO STUPID in English. The first "fear" is like if something popped up in front of you and you go "AAAAAAHHHH" kind of fear. The second is…well…like it says, the "fear" of being in front of a god or someone with a lot of power, and you're just kinda nervous and frozen before them because you realize how inferior you are to them and respect them.
***Uh…lol? Was this part just added in to justify his sudden kindness to Riko? Because the first we EVER see of him is him wishing Dholaki died. In the second novel, he fights with Dho like daily, and he also mouths off to Uranus as shown in Uranus' first appearance in the future. He's indifferent to Grana, and soon becomes indifferent to Miroku. And, I don't even know if this is referring to him in the first place? Lack of pronouns is bad enough, Miroku isn't even NAMED at this point yet, he's just referred to as "him." Junas followed Miroku to liberate oppressed people my butt. Besides, MIROKU is the obvious one who's most like him? Junas, you're a cutie and I love you, but if you think you can relate to Riko more than Miroku (or Uranus and Grana, even!) you've got some screws loose. at least Junas caring for people like him canonizes that he's a nice dude at heart, and he and Uranus loooove each other deep down~~ I KNEW IT


This is all I translated, because this is the only part with decent interaction with Junas. I'm biased. Shoot me. Miroku goes and finds the girl, meets up with this creepy dude who also knows of the song despite Junas, the other Grigori, being unable to hear it, and Junas comes back after 3 days and says the girl is pitiful which Miroku is like "THAT'S WRONG" to him and Junas describes Miroku's talking with the girl like a boy and girl on their first date.
This was weird to translate, and some places may be weird-sounding. :'(

but man, Junas is such a QT, especially here. "Heyy, are you listening to me?" EEEEEEEEE can you imagine him saying this EOS? BI I didn't think so

EDIT: Aaaaand…failure. *sigh* Only lasted until 1:30. I'll try again tonight…hopefully…or tomorrow… maybe I should just go see a doctor instead of trying to get over it myself…

Harpaxophobia SUCKS.
I remember when I had no issues at all staying up until like…well, ever. I used to stay up all night if I so wanted. Now, I'm lucky if I get to like 11 before freaking out.
Anyways, there's a stream tonight until like super super early, I'm guessing? and I already missed a TON because of this stupid fear, and I really want to watch this one.

So I'm sitting downstairs…in my chair…lots of lights on… :iconcryingplz:
why are there so many noises i'm gonna cry ;________;
I reaaaalllyy want to get over this. And this is the only way, yes? Uuuuughhhh I'm gonna cryyyyyy ;w;
No one has broken in since I can remember. This is so ridiculous, aaaaaaa this is so terrible even funny stuff doesn't help, I'm too damn scared to laugh and enjoy it!!
But I will stay up tonight. And I will enjoy this stream, dammit! *cries*

because it's just me being an idiot. and it's all garbage no one cares about. as usual.


anyways SPIDERS really really soon I can't wait!
also the character songs they have planned for them due to be released at the end of September! I hope Phinks makes it onto that list, KENN's voice is amazing :D Glad Miyano's secured himself a spot though :heart:
I'm thinking of rereading the Chimera Ant arc, just to experience it without the hiatus…es? I can't even keep track at this point

In TeniPuri news, KENYA on the next coverrrr PLUS apparently the pin is Kenya as well?? that is AWESOME, definitely makes up for the trap-Yuushi during May used to hide Sanada, Niou AND Piyo…
Also, what is this? What are they doing? Konomi-sensei, what––
…Alright, it's not as bad as Atobe going to the moon for the Valentine's thing, but Konomi-sensei what are they doing :|


…uh, well…alright, I was pretty stoked and emotional and excited for like…all of this. When I planned this journal earlier after learning about the double Kenya stuff, I was definitely imagining something…not like this. :I And I think this forced text and whatnot is proof enough, but…it's nighttime. And…after that experience with my dad, night has never been the same to me. I am constantly paranoid about hearing glass breaking, or pounding on doors, or anything like it. There are many times where I just can't sleep, and it sucks. I even nagged my parents into setting the alarm, which had never been set before this, in hopes that it would ease me, but it only made me more anxious to hear THAT go off. Ugh… I can't even stay downstairs by myself anymore. I go upstairs to my room as soon as my parents go up to theirs, and bring my laptop and charger with me. Even now, I'm freaking out because I forgot my phone but am too scared to just go down and get it. I want to get over this so bad, but I just can't…and it's absolutely terrible. ;w; I know I tried to laugh it off before and make light of it, but it's just taking over my life now.

tl;dr rl whining. i am a big baby.
