Yay, I'm done with translation！ Now all's left to clean and typeset pages.

Happy Belated Birthday Chitto!
Ah, I forgot. It was Chitto's birthday on the tenth of October. He is technically five years old now. Oo.. that's about the same age as the Children of Béfort leaving their homes.

Much ado about Livejournals
